This study analyzed a subject's body reaction and subjective sensation when wearing a gait-assistive rehabilitation robot. The research method measured skin and clothing surface temperatures for 'seating-standing' and 'walking in place' exercises after wearing a gait-assistive rehabilitation robot. In addition, subjective sensation and satisfaction were evaluated on a 7-point Likert scale. The study results showed that the average skin temperature during exercise while wearing the gait-assistive rehabilitation robot was within a comfortable range. However, during the 'seating-standing' exercise, the skin temperature was slightly lowered. Additionally, the clothing surface temperature tended to be lower than the pre-exercise temperature after all exercises. The subjective sensation evaluation results showed that the wear comfort of the waist part was low during mobility/activity. In addition, an overall improvement in the wear comfort of the robot is necessary. The short-time movement of wearing and walking in the gait-assistive rehabilitation robot did not interfere with the thermal comfort of the body. However, the robot needs to be ergonomically improved in consideration of the long wearing time along with improved material that to satisfy overall wearing comfort.

마사지 치료는 1회 치료만으로 통증을 경감시키고 스트레스를 이완시킵니다. 그러나 아직까지 1회 마사지 치료의 효과에 대한 객관적인 데이터를 확인한 연구가 없었습니다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 마사지 치료와 동일한 효과가 있는 것으로 보고된 척추 마사지 기구로 1회 치료를 실시하여 통증 경감과 스트레스 이완의 효과의 증거를 확인하고자 하였습니다. 10년 전부터 시각적상사척도 4점의 요통이 있었던 45세 남자 환자 1인을 대상으로 척추 마사지 기구를 실시한 1차 실험과 침상안정을 실시한 2차 실험을 실시하였습니다. 시각적상사척도 측정과 실시간으로 심박 변이도를 측정하여 자율신경계를 확인하였고 총 5회 혈액검사를 실시하여 스트레스 관련 혈액검사(코르티솔, 에피네프린, 노르에피네프린)를 실시하였습니다. 침상안정을 취한 2차 실험에 비해 척추 마사지 기구로 1회 치료를 받은 1차 실험에서 유의미한 통증 감소효과를 보였습니다. 또한 1차 실험에서 자율신경계 활성도 및 부교감 신경계의 활성도가 증가되어 있었으며 혈중 에피네프린과 노르에피네프린이 감소되어 있었습니다. 이것은 기존의 마사지 치료 효과와 동일한 결과이며 1회 척추 마사지 기구를 통해 얻어지는 효과의 증거라 사료됩니다.

This study was performed to obtain the basic data which could be used for the modification of the manual center-burner-type rice-husk furnace into a small scale automatic type for the multi-purpose use in the farm. For this purpose, first, the utilization feasibility of the rice-husk furnace in the farm was analyzed briefly in aspects of available amount of rice-husk for the fuel, annual operation time and replaceble amount of residential heating energy with rice-husk in the farm. For the experiment a prototype furnace geared with an automatic feeding device was fabricated, and feed rate, mold size and chimney height were changed to investigate the combustion efficiency of rice-husk and thermal efficiency of the furnace. Also, optimum and limiting operational factors were observed in each treatments. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. If the rice-husk is intensively used for residential heating in the farm for winter season, on an average 51 percent of the total heating energy can be replaced with the rice-husk. Therefore, development of a small scale automatic rice-husk furnace was recognized to be feasible. 2. The operational condition depending on husk-feed rates was very important factor for successive steady burning operation of the given furnace. When the feed-rate was 1.5 kg/hr, the top of the burning zone should be kept at the position about 55 cm from the bottom of the combustion chamber with the periodic removal of ash (termed as steady state position), which was 18 cm above the mold waist. When the feed rates were 2.4 kg/hr and 3.0 kg/hr, the steady state position was at about 4 cm above the mold waist. 3. The mold size affected inflow rate of air into the furnace and consequently CO content in the exhaust gas. The relatively bigger mold gave positive effect on the air-inflow rate. 4. When the husk-feed rates were 1.5 kg/hr, 2.4 kg/hr, 3.0 kg/hr, the combustion efficiencies of the rice-husk were 98.5%, 97.4% and 95.0%, the thermal efficiencies of the furnace were 93.4%, 93.2% and 87.6%, and CO content in the exhaust gas were 1.21%, 1.03%, and 2.43%, respectively. The air-inflow rates were decreased with the increase of feed rates. When the amount of excess air was 30-40%, the CO content in the exhaust gas was at the minimum level. 5. When the chimney height was lowered from 260 cm to 96 cm, the air-inflow rate was slightly decreased, but the average temperature in the combustion chamber, CO content in the exhaust gas and combustion and thermal efficiencies were not changed significantly. 6. The incidental problems associated with the protytype furnace were accumulation of the ash inside the mold, accumulation of the cinder between the outer-drum of the furnace and the combustion chamber wall, and accumulation of the cinder in the chimney.

The dispersion of suspended particulates in the coastal complex terrain of mountain-inland basin (city)-sea, considering their recycling was investigated using three-dimensional non-hydrostatic numerical model and lagrangian particle model (or random walk model). Convective boundary layer under synoptic scale westerly wind is developed with a thickness of about I km over the ground in the west of the mountain, while a thickness of thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) is only confined to less than 200m along the eastern slope of the mountain, below an easterly sea breeze circulation. At the mid of the eastern slop of the mountain, westerly wind confronts easterly sea breeze, which goes to the height of 1700 m above sea level and is finally eastward return flow toward the sea. At this time, particulates floated from the ground surface of the city to the top of TIBL go along the eastern slope of the mountain in the passage of sea breeze, being away the TIBL and reach near the top of the mountain. Then those particulates disperse eastward below the height of sea-breeze circulation and widely spread out over the coastal sea. Total suspended particulate concentration near the ground surface of the city is very low. On the other hand, nighttime radiative cooling produces a shallow nocturnal surface inversion layer (NSIL) of 200 m thickness over the inland surface, but relatively thin thickness less than 100m is found near the mountain surface. As synoptic scale westerly wind should be intensified under the association of mountain wind along the eastern slope of mountain to inland plain and further combine with land-breeze from inland plain toward sea, resulting in strong wind as internal gravity waves with a hydraulic jump motion bounding up to about 1km upper level in the atmosphere in the west of the city and becoming a eastward return flow. Simultaneously, wind near the eastern coastal side of the city was moderate. Since the downward strong wind penetrated into the city, the particulate matters floated near the top of the mountain in the day also moved down along the eastern slope of the mountain, reaching the. downtown and merging in the ground surface inside the NSIL with a maximum ground level concentration of total suspended particulates (TSP) at 0300 LST. Some of them were bounded up from the ground surface to the 1km upper level and the others were forward to the coastal sea surface, showing their dispersions from the coastal NSIL toward the propagation area of internal gravity waves. On the next day at 0600 LST and 0900 LST, the dispersed particulates into the coastal sea could return to the coastal inland area under the influence of sea breeze and the recycled particulates combine with emitted ones from the ground surface, resulting in relatively high TSP concentration. Later, they float again up to the thermal internal boundary layer, following sea breeze circulation.

The dynamics of the $CN^-$-ligated ferric cytochrome c (CytcCN) in $D_2O$ at 283 K following Q-band photoexcitation at 575 nm was observed using femtosecond time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy. The equilibrium vibrational spectrum of the CN stretching mode of CytcCN shows two overlapping bands: one main band (82%) at $2122\;cm^{-1}$ with $23\;cm^{-1}$ full width at half maximum (fwhm) and the other band (18%) at $2116\;cm^{-1}$ with $7\;cm^{-1}$ fwhm. The time-resolved spectra show bleaching of the CN fundamental mode of CytcCN and two absorption features at lower energies. The bleach signal and both absorption features are all formed within the time resolution of the experiment (< 200 fs) and decay with a life time of 1.9 ps. One transient absorption feature, appearing immediately red to the bleach signal, results from the thermal excitation of low-frequency modes of the heme that anharmonically couple to the CN fundamental mode, thereby shifting the CN mode to lower energies. The shift of the CN mode decays with a lifetime of 2 ps, equivalent to the time scale for vibrational cooling of the low-frequency heme modes. The other transient absorption feature, which is 3.3 times weaker than the bleach signal and shifted $27\;cm^{-1}$ toward lower energies, is attributed to the CN mode in an electronically excited state where the CN bond is weakened with a lowered extinction coefficient. These observations suggest that photoexcited CytcCN mainly undergoes ultrafast radiationless relaxation, causing photo-deligation of $CN^-$ from CytcCN highly inefficient. As also observed in $CN^-$-ligated myoglobin, inefficient ligand photodissociation might be a general property of $CN^-$-ligated ferric hemes.

A sunday system with a horizontal bin-type composter was constructed and operated to evaluate its composting performance for four days for each test in October, 1992. A sundry system is one of popular systems for composting livestock manure, of which main benefit is to utilize unlimited, clean, and free solar radiation. A rectangular concrete bin(composter) with dimension of 300cm(length) X90cm(width) X60cm(height) was bedded alternatively with four lanes of aeration pipes and heating pipes, and was insulated at three walls with 50mm styrofoam. Each aeration pipe of a diameter of 25mm had 4mm perforated holes at every 15cm longitudinally, and supplied air of about 2m$^3$/min to the composter to maintain aerobic condition . A stirrer rotating at 1 rpm made one round trip every 20 minutes on the conveying chain along the the length of the composter. Five tests (Test 1~Test 5) were implemented to evaluate the composting effectiveness of a sundry system with a horizontal bin-type composter. Treatments of two levels of the mixture ratio of swine manure and paper sludge cakes(manure : paper sludge cakes= 1 : 4 and 1 : 2) and two levels of the water content(W/C ; 70% and 50%) were made to test the significance of the physicochemical properties for decomposition of the mixture materials. Temperature, C/N ratio, water content, microbial activity of the composting materials were taken measurements to evaluate its performance with the lapse of composting time for tests. A small-scale sundry system with a bin-type composter did not appear to be an appropriate system for composting livestock manure. Since heat generation by the composting materials could not overcome heat loss due to areation in a small-scale composter, a proper thermal enviroment could not be maintained to propagate massively thermopilic microorganism relatively in a short period of time. Different from the result of Chol et al.(1992) 6), a temperature variation of the composting materials did not show the peak clearly and C/N ratio didn't lower with time as expected. Mesophilic microoragnism seemed to play an important role for decomposition of the mixture materials. A sundry system with a bin-type composter may be good for a large-scale livestock farm household which may produce enough animal manure. Therefore a decision should be made very carefully to choose a system for composting livestock waste.

다공성 구조의 장석과 주택 시방기준으로 제작된 바닥 축열층 모르타르의 열적 특성과 소비전력을 비교하였다. 실험을 위해 온수관이 설치된 2개의 실대형 모형을 제작하였다. 자외선 열화상 온도와 온도센서를 이용하여 가열과 냉각과정에서 축열층의 온도변화를 모니터링하였다. 시험동의 축열층은 $20-30^{\circ}C$ 구간의 온도 범위의 가열조건에서 $2-3.5^{\circ}C$ 높은 온도를 보였고 목표 온도에 도달하는 시간이 단축되었다. 온수관에서 멀어질수록 $4-4.8^{\circ}C$ 이상의 차이를 보였고 이는 장석 기반의 모르타르 축열층이 열적 평형에 빨리 도달하는 것을 지시한다. 가열 온도 $30^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 산정한 소비전력은 2.2배 차이를 보였고 단계별 온도 상승에서 소비전력은 66% 절감되었다. 냉각에서 시험동의 표면온도는 지속해서 $2^{\circ}C$ 이상 높았고 축열로 인해 보일러의 재가동 시간이 연장되는 것을 고려하면 에너지 효율은 더 증가할 것이다.

사용후핵 연료 심지층 처분의 목적은 그 독성이 인간 및 자연환경에 영향을 미치지 않도록 장기간 동안 격리하고, 방사성물질의 누출을 지연시키는 것이다. 이러한 심지층 처분장 설계시 주요한 요건은 처분시스템의 건전성 유지를 위하여 폐기물로부터 발생된 열로 인하여 완충재의 온도가 $100\;^{\circ}C$를 넘지 않도록 하는 것이다. 따라서, 원자력 발전소에서 방출된 후의 사용후핵연료 냉각기간은 심지층 처분장 설계시 효율 및 경제성을 위한 중요한 고려인자이다. 본 연구에서는 가장 적절한 사용후핵연료 냉각기간 설정을 위하여 처분시스템 온도요건을 만족하는 심지층 처분장 배치에 필요한 처분터널-처분공 간격 및 그에 따른 면적, 열하중에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여, 기준 처분개념을 바탕으로 사용후핵연료의 냉각기간 및 처분터널/처분공 간격을 다양하게 설정하여, 처분시스템에서의 열적 안정성을 해석하고 그 결과를 비교분석하였다. 그리고 분석 결과를 바탕으로 처분면적 측면에서 효율적인 사용후핵연료 냉각기간을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 사용후핵연료의 냉각기간이 짧을수록 처분장에서 설계온도 제한치 범위내 최고온도에 이르는 시간은 빨라지고, 사용후핵연료 냉각기간이 길수록 처분장에서 온도상승 및 하강속도는 완만해지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서 고려대상으로 삼은 처분장 규모와 사용후핵연료를 심지층에 처분한다고 할 때 그 냉각기간을 40-50년으로 함이 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

대부분의 지형정보획득을 위한 영상에는 RGB, 근적외선, 열영상이 주로 사용된다. 이 멀티밴드영상은 위성이나 유인항공기에 탑재되어 획득되고 있으나 주기해상도, 비용, 공간해상도, 그리고 구름의 영향 등으로 사용자를 만족시키기 어렵다. 자동항법UAV에 적합한 페이로드와 콘트롤러를 개발한다면 원하는 시간과 주기로 고해상도 멀티밴드영상을 획득할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 멀티밴드 영상획득을 위한 센서와 페이로드의 개발을 통해 저가의 고해상 영상획득시스템을 구축하고 이를 이용하여 geo-referencing data와 함께 RGB, NIR과 열영상을 획득하였다. 획득한 RGB영상으로 정사모자익영상을 제작하여 검사점에 대한 위치정확도를 분석한 결과 수평좌표에서 0.181m, 수직좌표에서 0.203m의 편차를 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 1:1,000~5000수치지도제작과 소규모지역에 대한 원격탐측이 가능한 공간정확도를 만족하므로 페이로드의 활용성을 검증할 수 있었으며 활용이 기대된다.
