  • Deteriorating soil physical properties and increasing soil pathogens due to the continuous cultivation of field crops are the leading causes of productivity deterioration. Crop rotation, soil heat treatment, and chemical control are used as pest control methods; however, each has limitations in wide application to domestic agriculture. In particular, chemical control requires improvement due to direct exposure to sterilizing solution, odor, and high-intensity work. To improve the overall domestic agricultural environment, the problems of time and cost, such as field maintenance and cultivation scale, must be addressed; therefore, mechanization technology for chemical control must be secured to derive improvement effects in a short period. Most related studies are focused on the control effect of the DMDS (dimethyl disulfide) sterilizer, and research on the performance of the sterilization spray device has been conducted after its introduction in Korea, but research on the corrosion suitability of the material is lacking. This study conducted a corrosion test to secure the corrosion resistance of a soil sterilizer injection pump, and a mechanical failure mode by corrosion by the material was established. The corrosion test comprised operation and neglect tests in which the sterilizing solution was circulated in the pump and remained in the pump, respectively. As a result of the corrosion test, damage occurred due to the weakening of the mechanical strength of the graphite material, and corrosion resistance to aluminum, stainless steel, fluororubber, and PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) materials was confirmed.

  • In this paper, we generate a trajectory minimized the energy gait of a biped robot for walking a staircase using genetic algorithms and apply to the computed torque controller for the stable dynamic biped locomotion. In the saggital plane, a 6 degree of freedom biped robot that model consists of seven links is used. In order to minimize the total energy efficiency, the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) is used. Operators of genetic algorithms are composed of a reproduction, crossover and mutation. In order to approximate the walking gait, the each joint angle is defined as a 4-th order polynomial of which coefficients are chromosomes. Constraints are divided into equality and inequality. Firstly, equality constraints consist of position conditions at the end of stride period and each joint angle and angular velocity condition for periodic walking. On the other hand, inequality constraints include the knee joint conditions, the zero moment point conditions for the x-direction and the tip conditions of swing leg during the period of a stride for walking a staircase.

  • The determination of lot sizes in prevailing inventory problems has been made with constant safety stock over the planning horizon. But, it is more profitable to accommodate the safety stock to dynamically fluctuating demands. The objective of this paper is to study the method to determine the dynamic safety stock and lot sizing rules depending on the actual customer demands. The last period or highly fluctuating period during the consumption of a lot is the most critical one to stock-out. It means that such periods must be given more attentions. Some dynamic methods to control safety stock are proposed with viewpoints of the time, quantity, and time-quantity. Simulation results show that lot sizing methods with dynamic safety stock reduce about 10% of average total cost compared to those with constant safety stock.

  • In this paper, an approach to extend the life of lead-acid batteries through the elimination of sulfation with "rest time" using the pulse current of a conventional DPV (Differential Pulse Voltammetry) method is discussed. A new rest time without "0" current in "saw-tooth" pattern pulses is proposed to overcome the "0" current (blackout period), which is a shortcoming of DPV. This will enable the proposed method to be used in the loaded state. In the proposed approach, ESSs (Energy Storage Systems) were discharged for 5 h twice per day for 6 months on weekdays. To observe the changes in the lifespan of the systems, for the same period, the changes in the impedances of lead-acid batteries which were being charged e without charging and discharging were measure and compared. This study is focused on determining the effectiveness of lead-acid batteries as ESSs.

  • Objectives: The study was designed to evaluate the single dose toxicity of modified Bo-yang-Hwan-o-Tang (mBHT) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods: The mBHT was once administrated orally to both sexes of rats at dose 2,000 mg/kg body weight which are the recommended maximum limit dose for acute toxicity. We recorded clinical signs of toxicity, body weight, gross and histological changes in target organs for all rats. Results: Neither significant changes of body weight not death was observed during the observation period in mBHT-administrated rats. Neither significant toxic signs not histopathological changes were shown during the observation period. There were not observed significant gross abnormality between the control and mBHT-administrated rats. Conclusions: These results indicated that the toxicity of mBHT is greater than 2,000 mg/kg body weight in SD rats.

  • We developed a computer program to predict solar interference period. To calculate Sun's position, we used DE406 ephemerides and Earth ellipsoid model. The Sun's position error is smaller than 10arcsec. For the verification of the calculation, we used TU media ground station on Seongsu-dong, and MBSAT geostationary communication satellite. We analysis errors, due to satellite perturbation and antenna align. The time error due to antenna align has -35 to +16 seconds at $0.1^{\circ}$, and -27 to +41 seconds at $0.25^{\circ}$. The time errors derived by satellite perturbation has 30 to 60 seconds.

  • In this paper, the estimation of the structure of a logic circuit under test is made from the observation of the input-output correlation function by use of M-sequence, from which we can estimate whether or not any fault exist in the logic circuit. Especially, investigation was made in case of the 2_stage logic circuit. We checked theoretically the sequence of correlation function, and we have shown that the correlation function is a function of period of M-sequence only, land the appearing number of correlation function in a period is a constant value depending on the logic circuit only. And by computer simulations we have shown that the structure of the circuit under test can be estimated from the observation of sequence of correlation function.

  • Traditionally, the implant treatment require load-free healing period of at least 3 months in the mandible and 6 months in the maxilla. But this long healing period provides patients with the discomfort and economical trouble. Many experiments has been attempted for the outcome of such disadvantage, so recently the immediate loaded implant is getting popularity. Several literature has been published for clinical success of immediate loaded implant. The studies for the success rate of immediate loaded implant in multi-way has been reporting, nevertheless, we don't have yet a probable success. Various studies have been practiced that the advantages and disadvantages associated with immediate loaded implant, and factors that may influence the success of immediate implant, including patient selection, type of bone quality, required implant length, structure of the implant, surgical skill, need for achieving primary stability, control of occlusal force, peri-implant bone activity. The objective of this study is to review the literature related to immediate loading of implants and to discuss factors that may influence this treatment modality, based on scientific evidence.

  • In the shortest period of time, we achieved both industrialization and democratization. We also achieved good performance in health care sector. Whole population are covered by health insurance since 1989 and health outcomes, such as infant mortality, life expectance show good level. However, health care system has several problems, rapidly increasing rate of health care expenditure, dissatisfaction of both consumers and suppliers. Current health care system does not reconcile with market competition principle. Causes of these problems originated from 1977 paradigm which was formed to expand health insurance to whole population within short period. Dominant assumption of 1977 paradigm is to assure equitable access of health care by government's command and control. We urgently demand to reform the 1977 paradigm to suitable in 21th century. Our economy entered into a road to advancement. We have concerns how President Lee's administration reform health care system to harmonize with economic development and to achieve advancement in health care sector.
