Objectives : Fire needling has been applied as the treatment for various diseases and been getting much attention from Oriental medicine due to its excellent effectiveness as the results of clinical studies have reported. However, the research findings on the safety of treatment method, materials for the Fire needling needle materials and the possibility of burn injury during the procedure are still insufficient. Methods : A thermo imaging camera was used to confirm the temperature distribution on acupuncture needle and the treatment area during the fire needling therapy. Then the degree of thermal injury was observed by H&E stain and TUNEL assay. In addition, in order to assess the safety of acupuncture materials, we conducted MTT assay using a L6 cell line. Results : The average temperature of the skin surface was observed at $47{\sim}51^{\circ}C$ after classic fire needling and $30^{\circ}C$ after warming fire needling. Warming fire needling therapy does not induce a burn on the tissue and a third degree burn was observed locally in the muscle and skin layers after classic fire needling treatment. This confirms that hwa-acupuncture therapies do not cause major burns. According to the safety assessment test result, no cytotoxicity was detected in the warming fire needling materials. This confirms the safety of the acupuncture materials Conclusions : Various research results on the biological safety of fire needling. Since fire needling therapy induces a burn locally without leaving any scar, and as other results indicate, it is considered a safe treatment method.

본 연구에서는 사질토와 점성토 시료에 대하여 동결 시 내부 구조 변화를 고해상도 3차원 X-ray CT 이미징을 통해 정량적으로 평가하였으며, 동결 과정 중 온도 변화에 따른 탄성파 속도 측정을 통해 재료의 강성도 변화를 관찰하였다. 사질토의 경우 간극수 동결에 따른 내부 구조 변화는 관찰되지 않았으나, 점성토의 경우 시료의 동결 방향과 관계없이, 냉각원으로부터의 거리에 따라 두꺼운 얼음이 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. Two-point correlation 방법을 통해 시료의 동결 패턴을 정량적으로 분석한 결과, 냉각원으로부터의 거리에 따른 사질토의 대표단위길이(Lr)은 일정한 값을 가졌다. 반면 점성토의 경우 그 값이 선형으로 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 시료 양 끝단의 대표단위길이는 약 2.5배의 차이를 보였다. 또한 동결 과정 중 사질토 시료 내 국부적 온도 차이는 관찰되지 않았으나, 상대적으로 낮은 열전도도를 갖는 점성토의 경우 국부적 온도 차이가 관찰되었으며, 온도 변화에 따른 재료의 강성 변화를 평가하였다.

The NISS (Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history) onboard NEXTSat-1 is the near-infrared instrument onboard NEXTSat-1 which is being developed by KASI. The main scientific targets are nearby galaxies, galaxy clusters, star-forming regions and low background regions in order to study the cosmic star formation history in local and distant universe. After the Preliminary Design Review, we have fixed major specifications of the NISS. The off-axis optical design with 15cm apertureis optimized to obtain a wide field of view ($2deg.{\times}2deg.$), while minimizing the sensitivity loss. The opto-mechanical structure of the NISS was designed to be safe enough to endure in the launching condition as well as the space environment. The tolerance analysis was performed to cover the wide wavelength range from 0.95 to $3.8{\mu}m$ and to reduce the degradation of optical performance due to thermal variation at the target temperature, 200K. The $1k{\times}1k$ infrared sensor is operated in the dewar at 80K stage. We confirmed that the NISS can be cooled down to below 200K in the nominal orbit through a radiative cooling. Here, we report the preliminary design of the NISS.

Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Korean medicine for a thoracolumbar compression fracture. Methods : We searched six Korean databases (DBPIA, Korean Studies Information Service System, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, National Digital Science Library, Research Information Sharing Service, KoreaMed) (up to June 2015) and the Journal of Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society. Unpublished studies were also searched. Clinical research, other than case reports involving less than 10 patients, were eligible. The effectiveness and safety of Korean Medicine was analyzed. The 'Risk of Bias' was assessed using the 'Risk of Bias' assessment tool for non-randomized studies as well as the Cochrane Collaboration's 'Risk of Bias' tool. Results : We found 12 before-after studies (374 patients). There was no randomized trial. All studies combined at least three different types of Korean medicine treatments. The period of treatment varied between less a week and 154 days. All the included studies reported improvements in pain, functional disability related to lower back pain, global assessment, and benefits in the compression ratio of a fractured vertebrae and skin temperature measured by digital infrared thermal imaging in comparison with the baseline. However, all studies had a high risk of bias and three studies reported mild adverse events. Conclusions : There is no randomized trial for the role of Korean medicine for patients with a thoracolumbar compression fracture. The effectiveness and safety of Korean medicine for this population remains unclear. Findings in this review are seriously biased due to observational design and a high risk of bias included in the studies. Future high-quality randomized trials are warranted.

원자로 내 사고발생 시 냉각수의 비등으로 기포가 발생하고, 기포율을 측정하기 위하여 열수력 안전 분야에서는 주로 Optical Fiber Probe(OFP)나 광학 카메라를 이용하여 측정하지만 기하학적 구조의 한계로 인해 $17{\times}17$ 배열의 봉 다발 내에 장비를 설치하는 것에는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 예비 연구로서 봉 다발에 적용하기 전 X선 시스템과 다양한 모사 팬텀을 이용하여 연구 가능성 평가를 수행하였다. 라디오그라피 및 토모그라피 실험을 통해 X선 발생 장치의 관전압 130 kVp, 관전류 1 mA가 적합하였다. 또한, 기포 해상도 팬텀을 통해 가시적으로 1 mm 크기의 구멍에 대해 측정이 가능하였으며 막대 팬텀을 이용한 대조도 평가의 경우 프레온 내부에서 대조도가 상대적으로 떨어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 영상 재구성 시 일그러짐이 없는 좋은 영상을 획득할 수 있었다. 기포 발생 팬텀 실험을 통해 기포의 유동 방향 확인 및 단층 영상을 획득할 수 있었고, Image J 툴을 이용하여 하나의 단층영상에 대해 18 %의 기포율을 측정할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 핵연료 주변 기포율 측정을 위한 선행 연구를 수행하였고 지속적인 연구를 위한 기초 연구로서 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

The Main payload of the STSAT-3 (Korea Science & Technology Satellite-3), MIRIS (Multipurpose Infra-Red Imaging System) has been developed for last 3 years by KASI, and its Flight Model (FM) is now being developed as the final stage. All optical lenses and the opto-mechanical components of the FM have been completely fabricated with slight modifications that have been made to some components based on the Engineering Qualification Model (EQM) performances. The components of the telescope have been assembled and the test results show its optical performances are acceptable for required specifications in visual wavelength (@633 nm) at room temperature. The ensuing focal plane integration and focus test will be made soon using the vacuum chamber. The MIRIS mechanical structure of the EQM has been modified to develop FM according to the performance and environment test results. The filter-wheel module in the cryostat was newly designed with Finite Element Analysis (FEM) in order to compensate for the vibration stress in the launching conditions. Surface finishing of all components were also modified to implement the thermal model for the passive cooling technique. The FM electronics design has been completed for final fabrication process. Some minor modifications of the electronics boards were made based on EQM test performances. The ground calibration tests of MIRIS FM will be made with the science grade Teledyne PICNIC IR-array.

The NISS (Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history) is the near-infrared spectro-photometric instrument optimized to the Next Generation of small satellite series (NEXTSat). To achieve the major scientific objectives for the study of the cosmic star formation in local and distant universe, the spectro-photometric survey covering more than 100 square degree will be performed. The main observational targets will be nearby galaxies, galaxy clusters, star-forming regions and low background regions. The off-axis optics was developed to cover a wide field of view ($2deg.{\times}2deg.$) as well as the wide wavelength range from 0.95 to $2.5{\mu}m$, which were revised based upon the recent test and evaluation of the NISS instrument. The mechanical structure were tested under the launching condition as well as the space environment. The signal processing from infrared sensor and the communication with the satellite were evaluated after the integration into the satellite. The flight model of the NSS was assembled and integrated into the satellite. To verify operations of the satellite in space, the space environment tests such as the vibration, shock and thermal-vacuum test were performed. The accurate calibration data were obtained in our test facilities. Here, we report the test results of the flight model of the NISS.

For the globalization of Korean food restaurants, the kitchens should be equipped with proper ventilation systems and space to keep clean and ensure food safety. This study aimed to examine the ratio of kitchen to total space of restaurant and the suitability of the ventilation systems employed at Korean food restaurants. Data were collected by on-site survey of 12 Korean foods restaurants in Seoul. Length and width of the restaurants were measured with scale. Temperatures and air velocity around the heating equipment, working area, and hood were measured with a thermal imaging camera anemometer and thermometer. Statistical analyses were conducted with the SPSS program. The average space of the restaurants was $25.7m^2$. The ratio of kitchen to space was 0.22 for restaurants sized $32m^2$, 0.28 for $33-66m^2$, 0.21 for $66.1-99m^2$, 0.16 for $99.1-148.5m^2$, and 0.35 for those above $148.5m^2$. Average maximum and minimum air velocity around the hood were 0.28 m/sec and 0.22 m/sec, respectively. Under these conditions, the temperature of the working area was $41^{\circ}C$, presenting an uncomfortable indoor temperature for kitchen employees to work. When classifying 3 groups based on the minimum and maximum air velocity, the temperatures near the cooking area and in the hood of the restaurants showed significant differences among the three groups. When the maximum air velocity was over 0.3 m/sec, the temperature of the cooking area was as $30.1^{\circ}C$, showing a significantly lower temperature (p<0.01). Based on these results, the kitchen space rate of 0.25 to the total space and a ventilation system maintaining a maximum air velocity over 0.3 m/sec were recommended for ensuring the food safety of Korean foods restaurants sized 66 to $99m^2$.

다수의광학위성센서들이선형 배열 형태에 기반을두고설계되었다. 널리 알려진 광학위성센서의 종류는 다음과 같이 경로 평행 방향 1열스캐너(along-track line scanner), 경로 직각 방향 1열 스캐너(across-track linescanner), 3열 스캐너(three- line scanner)로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 센서들을 이용하여 위성 및 항공기에서 지상지물의 정확한 위치정보를 획득하려고 할 때 센서의 외부 표정요소와 내부 표정요소는 매우 중요한 요소들이다. 이들 센서들의 영상생성기하구조는 태양에 의한열영향, 진동, 바람등의 다양한 물리적 현상들에 의하여 시시각각 변동될 가능성이 있기에 내부표정요소의 편의가 지상에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 실제적인 비행경로와 자세정보를 바탕으로 생성된 시뮬레이션 자료를 이용하여 본 연구에서는 각 센서의 초점거리에 편의량을 점진적으로 추가하면서 실험과 분석을 수행하였으며, 또한 비행고도를 고고도와 저고도의 두가지 경우로 비교하였다.실험결과, 경로평행방향 1열 스캐너의 경우에 초점거리편의량의 증가가 지상스캔라인방향(Y 방향)의 오차를 유발하였으며, 경로 직각 방향 1열 스캐너의 경우 스캔라인방향과 수직방향으로 오차가 증가하였고, 3열 스캐너의 경우에는 수직방향으로만 오차가 증가하였다. 이들 실험결과는 향후 새로운 센서개발과 센서캘리브레이션 정확도에 가이드라인을 제공할 수 있다고 본다.
