본 논문에서는 OFDM 신호방식을 사용하는 무선채널 환경에서 무선 멀티미디어에 적합한 클럭 동기복원 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 클럭 동기복원 알고리즘의 기본적인 접근은 수신기의 채널 추정기로부터 추정된 채널의 주파수 응답을 획득하여 IFFT를 통해 채널의 충격 응답 또는 다중 경로 강도 프로 파일을 구하고 시간 영역에서 채널의 에너지가 집중된 일정 범위의 위치를 추적하는 것이다. 또한, 샘플링 클럭 오프셋이 ${\pm}$1∼3 샘플 있는 경우 64-QAM, 16-QAM의 성좌점을 분석하고, BER 성능을 확인한 결과 최적 샘플 지점에서의 성좌점과 BER 성능에 비하여 2 샘플 이상의 오프셋이 발생했을 경우에는 심한 성능 열화가 나타나는 것을 확인하였고, 시뮬레이션 결과로부터, 제안된 알고리즘이 주파수 선택적 페이딩 채널 하에서도 우수한 동기특성을 제공함을 알 수 있다.

Objective : To investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies and to determine the associations between dental anomalies in permanent teeth Materials and methods : The samples were 1,240 patients (760 females and 480 males, mean age=15.1 years) who visited the Samsung Medical Center. Dental anomalies were diagnosed using pre-treatment dental casts, radiographs, clinical examinations, and medical/dental histories. Prevalence and association were investigated according to gender and sidedness. The Chi-square test was performed for statistical analysis. Results : The most common missing tooth was the lower lateral incisor, followed by the lower and upper second premolars. This particular dental anomaly is characteristic of the East Asian population (prevalence of congenital missing tooth=12.3%). The upper anterior area was the most frequently affected area (prevalence of supernumerary tooth was 1.5%). The presence of a supernumerary tooth was more prevalent in males than in females (p<.05, odds ratio=3.2). The most frequently affected tooth was the upper canine (prevalence of impacted tooth=4.3%). Unilateral impaction of the upper canine occurred significantly more often compared to bilateral impaction (p<.001). The prevalence of peg lateralis was 2.7%. The presence of congenital missing tooth was closely associated with peg lateralis (p<.01). If children aged 7~8 years have peg lateralis, the rest of the teeth should be checked for congenital absences. Conclusion : The early detection of dental anomalies and understanding of their associations help clinicians determine the appropriate treatment timing and methods of dealing with these anomalies.

The wind-induced transient response of internal pressure following the creation of a sudden dominant opening during the occurrence of high external pressure, in low-rise residential and industrial buildings was numerically investigated. The values of the ill-defined parameters namely the flow contraction coefficient, loss coefficient and the effective slug length were calibrated by matching the analytical response with the computational fluid dynamics predictions. The effect of a sudden i.e., "instantaneously created" windward opening in the Texas Technical University (TTU) test building envelope was studied for two different envelope flexibility-leakage combinations namely: (1) a quasi-statically flexible and non-porous envelope and (2) a quasi-statically flexible and porous envelope. The responses forced by creating the openings at different time leads/lags with respect to the occurrence of the peak external pressure showed that for cases where the openings are created in close temporal proximity to the peak pressure, the transient overshoot values of internal pressure could be higher than the peak values of internal pressure in the pre-sequent or subsequent resonant response. In addition, the influence of time taken for opening creation on the level of overshoot was also investigated for the TTU building for the two different envelope characteristics. Non-dimensional overshoot factors are presented for a variety of cavity volume-opening area combinations for (1) buildings with rigid/quasi-statically flexible non-porous envelope, and (2) buildings with rigid/quasi-statically flexible and porous envelope (representing most low rise residential and industrial buildings). While the factors appear slightly on the high side due to conservative assumptions made in the analysis, a careful consideration regarding the implication of the timing and magnitude of such overshoots during strong gusts, in relation to the steady state internal pressure response in cyclonic regions, is warranted.

Background Disputes regarding medical malpractice occur between practitioners and patients. As patients have become increasingly aware regarding medical care, an increase in the unexpected side effects of procedures has been observed, thereby leading to an increase in disputes regarding medical malpractice. In this study, we reviewed trends in precedents involving cosmetic surgery-related medical disputes, with the goal of helping to prevent unnecessary disputes in the future. Methods We conducted a search of the judgments made in South Korean courts between 2000 and 2013 that were related to the field of plastic surgery. A total of 54 judgments were analyzed, and the selected precedents were reviewed and classified according to the kind of negligence involved. Results The claim amounts ranged from under 8 million KRW (6,991 USD) to 750 million KRW (629,995 USD). The most common ratio of the judgment amount to the claim amount was 20%-30%. The judgments were classified according to the following categories: violation of the duty of explanation in 17 cases (29%), violation of the duty of care in 10 cases (17%), violation of both duties in 20 cases (35%), and no violation of duty in six cases (10%). Conclusions Cosmetic surgery-related suits require different approaches than general malpractice suits. The Supreme Court requires plastic surgeons to determine the type, timing, methods, and scope of their treatments when considering possible results. Therefore, practitioners should be educated on their rights and responsibilities to enable them to cope with any possible medical dispute that may arise.

지하수의 질산오염 문제는 한국을 포함한 세계의 여러나라에서 보고되어 왔다. 질산염은 청색증 유발물질로서 뿐만 아니라 발암물질일 가능성도 동물실험을 통해 제기되고 있다. 대부분의 경우에 지하수 질산염의 주요 오염원은 농작물 생산량의 향상을 위해 사용하는 비료이다. 그밖에 가축의 분뇨, 산업폐기물 및 생활하수도 지역에 띠라 질산염 오염원이 될 시기는 언제인가를 결정하기 위하여 의사결정권자는 여러가지의 작물경작방법에 따라 지하수 질산오염이 어떻게 변하는지를 시계열로 예측할 필요성이 있다. 그러나 직물경작방법에 따른 지하수 질산오염을 예측하는데 필요한 토질특성, 비료의 사용량, 작물의 종류 같은 자료의 대부분은 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 불확실성은 경제성 때문에 자료의 불충분한 조사와 인간지식의 부족으로 인해 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 불확실성을 고려하면서 작물경작방법에 따른 지하수 질산오염의 변화를 예측하는 방법을 실제적인 사례를 통해 보여준다. 그리고 자료의 불확실성을 표현하기 위해 퍼지집합이론(fuzzy set theory)은 본 논문에서 응용되었다.

위성항법시스템은 현재 민간과 군에게 위치와 시간 정보를 제공하는 유용한 시스템으로 널리 활용되고 있으며, 국방-IT 간 대표적 융합 기술로 거론되고 있다. 그러나 위성항법시스템은 지구로부터 2만 Km 상공의 원거리에서 신호를 송신하므로 위성항법 수신기의 수신 감도가 매우 미약하여, 재밍(jamming) 공격에 취약한 특성을 가진다. 이와 같은 위성항법시스템을 위한 항재밍(anti-jamming) 기술에 관한 연구는 위성항법시스템을 소유한 국가가 공개하는 기술적 정보에 의존적이어서 국내 국방 분야에서는 소극적 수준의 연구에 머물러 있다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 위성항법시스템의 다양한 재밍원 소개와 J/S와 재머-수신기 간의 거리 링크 버짓 분석을 통한 위성항법시스템의 재밍 취약성을 분석하였다. 또한 위성항법시스템 수신기 설계에 적용 가능한 항재밍 기술을 분류하고 분석하였으며, 최근 연구되고 있는 국내외 항재밍 관련 제품 및 기술을 분석하였다.

This paper describes an intelligent ankle assistive robot which provides assistive power to reduce ankle torque based on an analysis of ankle motion and muscle patterns during walking on level and sloped floors. The developed robot can assist ankle muscle power by driving an electric geared motor at the exact timing through the use of an accelerometer that detects gait phase and period, and a potentiometer to measure floor slope angle. A simple muscle assistive link mechanism is proposed to convert the motor torque into the foot assistive force. In particular, this mechanism doesn't restrain the wearer's ankle joint; hence, there is no danger of injury if the motor malfunctions. During walking, the link mechanism pushes down the top of the foot to assist the ankle torque, and it can also lift the foot by inversely driving the linkage, so this robot is useful for foot drop patients. The developed robot and control algorithm are experimentally verified through walking experiments and EMG (Electromyography) measurements.

The GPS new civil signal is modulated on the L2 carrier at a frequency of 1227.6MHz. The L2C signal is composed of two multiplexed code signals, which include CM code with a 10,230 chip sequency repeating every 20ms, and CL code which has a 767,250 chip sequency repeating every 1.5 seconds. Thus, the new civil signal have much improved cross correlation properties so that the position fixing can be possible even with very weak signals. However, it requires very long acquisition time because of its long code length. This paper presents an efficient signal acquisition method for L2C AGPS receiver. Snapshot mode and coarse time assistance are assumed and total integration time is given by 1.5 sec. By SNR worksheet and computer simulation, it is proven that L2C signal can be acquired with very weak power less than -150dBm. Considering the acquisition time and the sensitivity, it is recommended that the highest power signal is acquired with CM code first to reduce TTFF. By the timing synchronization, at this time, search space of the code phase for other signals can be greatly reduced so that CL code can be used in signal acquisition to maximize sensitivity with small computation.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the progress of North Korea's SLBM threat, and to assess the technological capacity and threat level of its SLBMs. Currently, North Korea has approximately 1000 ballistic missiles, such as the SCUD, Musudan, and Nodong, in stock. This article pays close attention to the background and strategical implication behind North Korea's obsession with developing SLBMs despite possessing sufficient means to launch provocations with its current arsenal of ground based ballistic missiles and conventional weapons. Based on the abovementioned analysis, this article will recommend possible response directions for the ROK Armed Forces to North Korea's SLBM threat. It is highly difficult to detect SLBMs due to its stealthy nature, as it is launched underwater after covert infiltration. North Korea's SLBM is considered a game changer in that even one SLBM can significantly change the strategic balance of North East Asia. North Korea's SLBM test launch in August has made a 500km flight, landing 80km inside the JADIZ (Japan Air Defense Identification Zone), and as such, it is assessed that North Korea already possesses underwater ejection and cold launch capabilities. The most realistic response to North Korea's imminent SLBM threat is bolstering anti-submarine capabilities. ROK Armed Forces need to upgrade its underwater kill-chain by modernizing and introducing new airborne anti-submarine assets and nuclear-powered submarines, among many options. Moreover, we should integrate SM-3 missiles with the Aegis Combat system that possess strong detection capabilities and flexibility, thereby establishing a sea-based Ballistic Missle Defense (BMD) system centered around the Aegis Combat System, as sea-based ballistic missile threats are best countered out in the seas. Finally, the capabilities gap that could arise as a result of budgetary concerns and timing of fielding new assets should be filled by establishing firm ROK-US-Japan combined defense posture.

분산 빔포밍의 이득을 얻기 위해서는 심볼 타이밍, 위상, 그리고 주파수 동기가 적절하게 제어가 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템에서 분산 빔포밍을 이용할 경우 세 가지 동기의 에러에 의한 영향을 분석하였다. 협력신호 사이의 심볼 동기 에러는 저주파수의 부반송파(subcarrier)보다 고주파수의 부반송파에서 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 위상 및 주파수 에러에 의한 전송신호의 손실은 부반송파 번호와 관련이 없으나, 주파수 오차는 전송신호의 손실 뿐만 아니라 부반송파 사이의 간섭을 야기하기 때문에 OFDM 시스템에서 중요하게 관리되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 협력신호 개수 및 세 가지 동기 에러 값에 의한 성능 저하를 보이고 있으며, 성능 분석 결과는 시뮬레이션의 결과와 적절히 일치하는 것을 보이고 있다.
