A raw-water source heat pump equipped with a thermal storage tank was dynamically simulated by TRNSYS, and the results were verified by using the data from a heat pump installed in the Seongnam water treatment facility. The average coefficient of performance (COP) of the raw-water source heat pump based on simulation was 4.97 and 3.17 in the cooling and heating season, respectively. When the volume of the thermal storage tank was changed from 5 to $20m^3$, the highest COP was found at a size of $10m^3$. Considering the regional locations of raw-water source heat pumps at Seoul, Incheon, Gangneung, and Gwangju, Seoul showed the lowest electric power consumption in the cooling season and the highest in the heating season. When a comparison of the performance between the present system and that of a water-air heat pump was conducted, the present system showed lower electric power consumption by 25% than that of a water-air heat pump.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation and characteristics between electromyographic (EMG) activities of lower leg muscles and the posturographic assessment of static balance control in normal adults. Twenty-four young, healthy adults(12 males, 12 females) participated in the study. Center of pressure (COP) parameters were obtained using force platform as total path distance, total sway area, X mean frequency and Y mean frequency for 20 seconds in the following conditions: (1) comfortable standing with eyes opened or closed, (2) uncomfortable standing (feet together) with eyes opened or closed, (3) virtual moving surround delivered using Head mount display (HMD) with four different moving patterns. The virtual moving patterns consisted of close-far, superior-inferior tilting (pitch), right-left tilting (roll), and horizontal rotation (yaw) movements. Surface electromyographic activites were recorded on the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius muscles under each condition. Correlation between the posturographic measures and EMG activities were evaluated. Total path distance and total sway area of COP were significantly increased during uncomfortable standing. EMG activity of tibialis anterior was significantly more during uncomfortable standing and virtual moving surround stimulation than during comfortable standing. Total path distance and sway area of COP during comfortable standing with closed eyes showed significant positive correlation with the EMG activities of the lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle. Total path distances and total sway area of COP during muscle. Total path distances and total sway area of COP during presentation of virtual moving surround also had significant positive correlations with EMG activities of the lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle under close-far movement.

The objective of this study was to investigate heating performance characteristics of electric heat pump system in a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). In order to analyze heating performance characteristics of electric heat pump system with plate-type heat exchanger using stack coolant to evaporate the refrigerant, R-134a, each component was installed and tested under various operating conditions, such as air inlet temperature of inner condenser and compressor speed. When the air inlet temperature of inner condenser was varied from $0.0^{\circ}C$ to $-20.0^{\circ}C$, heating capacity was not quite different due to similar temperature gap between inlet and outlet of inner condenser with electric-driven expansion valve (EEV). However, COP increased until certain EEV opening, especially under 45.0%, because of decreasing power consumption. According to the compressor speed variation from 2,000 to 4,000 RPM, heating capacity and COP were found to have opposite trend. In the future works, stack coolant conditions as the heat source for tested heat pump system were analyzed with respect to heating performance, such as heating capacity and COP.

The cyber battlefield called the fifth battlefield, is not based on geological information unlike the existing traditional battlefiels in the land, sea, air and space, and has a characteristics that all information has tightly coupled correlation to be anlayized. Because the cyber battlefield has created by the network connection of computers located on the physical battlefield, it is not completely seperated from the geolocational information but it has dependency on network topology and software's vulnerabilities. Therefore, the analysis for cyber battlefield should be provided in a form that can recognize information from multiple domains at a glance, rather than a single geographical or logical aspect. In this paper, we describe a study on the development of the cyber operation COP(Common Operational Picture), which is essential for command and control in the cyber warfare. In particular, we propose an architecure for cyber operation COP to intuitively display information based on visualization techniques applying the multi-layering concept from multiple domains that need to be correlated such as cyber assets, threats, and missions. With this proposed cyber operation COP with multi-layered visualization that helps to describe correlated information among cyber factors, we expect the commanders actually perfcrm cyber command and control in the very complex and unclear cyber battlefield.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the effects of the whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization on the gait and balancing ability in patients with hemiplegic stroke. METHODS: A total of 19 patients at a rehabilitation hospital who had suffered a hemiplegic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization, n=10) or control group (whole-body vibration exercise, n=9). All participants underwent 30 min of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy (5 × /week for 6 weeks). Additionally, the experimental group performed the whole body vibration exercise and ankle joint mobilization (15 minutes each, 30 minutes total, 3 × / week for 6 weeks). In the control group, only the whole- body vibration exercise was performed in the same manner and not the ankle joint mobilization. The gait and balancing abilities were measured before and after the 6-week training. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed in the 10-m walk test, timed up-and-go (TUG) test, center of pressure (COP) path length, and COP path velocity in the experimental group (p < .05). The experimental group showed a larger decrease in the COP path length and velocity than the control group (COP path length, -10.27 mm vs. -3.67 mm, p < .05; COP path velocity, -.33 cm/sec vs. -.13 cm/sec, p < .05, respectively). CONCLUSION: The whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization could be effective in improving the gait and balancing ability of stroke patients and could also be more effective for improving the static balance ability than the general whole-body vibration exercise alone.
