Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mechanical horseback riding exercise on dynamic balance in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: The subjects of this study were 30 cerebral infarction patients. Subjects in the control group received physical therapy for 45 minutes, three times per week, and those in the experimental group received mechanical horseback riding exercise for 30 minutes, three times per week, with physical therapy for 45 minutes, three times per week, during a period of six weeks. For evaluation of dynamic balance ability, limit of stability (LOS) was measured and TUG test was performed. Results: According to the test result, LOS showed a significant increase after the exercise, and TUG showed a significant decrease after the exercise. However, no significant correlation was observed between LOS difference and TUG difference. Conclusion: Mechanical horseback riding exercise is effective for improvement of dynamic balance in patients with cerebral infarction. Mechanical horseback riding exercise is a useful indoor exercise program for clinical use for improvement of dynamic balance.

Even though the control device of the heating system works well, insufficient water flow rates can degrade control performance and thermal comfort. The water flow rate should be adjusted appropriately to cope with the heating load of each zone. In order to solve these problems, a new balancing concept 'dynamic balancing' was proposed where a balancing valve opening can be automatically modulated according to the heating condition of the room. This study analyzed the effects of dynamic balancing upon indoor thermal environment and energy consumption in a radiant floor heating system through field measurement. Under part-load conditions, the use of a dynamic balancing is a more effective method to reduce energy consumption and to prevent a cavitation. Dynamic balancing is able to help boost the temperature of a room in the start-up period.

To give a solution for seismic stability of tunnel faces subjected to earthquake ground shakings, the pseudo-dynamic approach is originally introduced to analyze tunnel face stability in this study. In the light of the upper-bound theorem of limit analysis, an advanced three-dimensional mechanism combined with pseudo-dynamic approach is proposed. Based on this mechanism, the required support pressure on tunnel face can be obtained by equaling external work rates to the internal energy dissipation and implementing an optimization searching procedure related to time. Both time and space feature of seismic waves are properly accounted for in the proposed mechanism. For this reason, the proposed mechanism can better represent the actual influence of seismic motion and has a remarkable advantage in evaluating the effects of vertical seismic acceleration, soil amplification factor, seismic wave period and initial phase difference on tunnel face stability. Furthermore, the pseudo-dynamic approach is compared with the pseudo-static approach. The difference between them is illustrated from a new but understandable perspective. The comparison demonstrates that the pseudo-static approach is a conservative method but still could provide precise enough results as the pseudo-dynamic approach if the value of seismic wavelengths is large or the height of soil structures is small.

The study investigates the dynamic correlation of cryptocurrencies and equity in Vietnam and tests the safe-haven property of them from the perspective of the stock market in Vietnam during the pandemic crisis by applying the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) GARCH model and regression with a dummy variable, respectively. This study employs time series data on the daily dataset from September 2014 to September 2021 with the focus on the two most popular cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin and Litecoin. The results show that the dynamic conditional correlations between cryptocurrencies and equity in Vietnam increased during the pandemic, however, in most periods, positive dynamic correlations often dominate. Besides, the regression results also indicate that Bitcoin and Litecoin act as weak safe-haven investments for stocks in Vietnam during the COVID-19 turmoil. They are more suitable for diversification purposes although the dynamic correlations between them and the stock index in Vietnam vary stronger during the pandemic crisis than before. The findings of this study suggest that in the period of pandemic crisis, cryptocurrencies are not concerned as effective safe-haven assets for stock in Vietnam. Instead, cryptocurrencies are only playing a potential role in diversification benefit in this economy.

이번 연구는 효과적으로 2화방 개화묘를 생산하여 조기에 토마토를 수확하고 수확 기간을 연장하기 위하여 적절한 양액 농도 관리방법을 구명하기 위해 실시되었다. 처리는 양액 농도로 1줄기 2화방 개화묘 연구에서는 양액 EC를 1.5, 2.0, 2.5dS·m^-1, 동적 관리(3.0 → 3.5 → 4.5dS·m^-1)로 공급하였다. 육묘기간은 65일로 관행묘에 비해 20-40일, 1화방 개화묘(큐브 육묘)보다는 10일 정도 길었다. 초장은 EC 2.5dS·m^-1와 동적 관리는 각각 78, 77cm로 EC 1.5dS·m^-1처리 88cm보다 짧았다. 정식 전 큐브 내 EC는 동적 관리가 EC 5.5dS·m^-1로 가장 높았으며, EC 1.5dS·m^-1로 공급한 큐브는 3.0dS/m으로 가장 낮았다. 2화방 개화묘에서 EC 처리 간 생산량 차이는 나타나지 않았으나 1화방 개화묘는 2화방 개화묘보다 생산성이 떨어졌다. 2화방 개화묘는 첫 수확일이 6월 4일로 정식 후 35일만에 수확하였으며 1화방 개화묘는 6월 11일로 42일만에 수확하였다. 절곡에 의한 초장 및 뿌리 생육의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 2줄기 2화방 개화묘 생산 연구에서는 공급 양액 EC를 2.0, 2.5, 3.0dS·m^-1, 동적 관리(3.0 → 3.5 → 4.5dS·m^-1)로 하여 공급하였다. 육묘 기간은 90일로 관행묘에 비해 40-50일, 1화방 2줄기 개화묘(큐브 육묘)보다는 10일 정도 길었다. 초장은 공급 양액 EC 2.0dS·m^-1에서 80cm, 2.5dS·m^-1에서는 81cm였으며 3.0dS·m^-1 처리에서는 75cm, 동적 관리에서는 73cm로 가장 짧았다. 배지 내 EC는 모든 처리에서 육묘 기간이 길어질수록 높아졌으며 특히 공급 EC가 가장 높았던 동적관리 처리에서 EC 5.1dS·m^-1로 가장 높았다. EC 처리 간 생산량 차이는 나타나지 않았으나 육묘 기간이 10일 정도 길었던 2화방 개화묘가 1화방 개화묘보다 15% 정도 생산량이 많았다. 2화방 개화묘의 초장을 짧게 만들기 위해서는 가식 후 공급 양액 농도를 높이는 방법이 가장 효율적인 방법으로 판단된다.

Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of resistance exercise on static and dynamic proprioception by applying elastic bands to the knee flexor, which can be performed earlier than proprioception, a weight bearing pattern. Proprioceptive training may be applied to the early period of recuperation training along with resistance exercise to prevent damage to the knees and the joints in the lower body, as well as the reoccurrence of injury, which is expected to improve the effect of static and dynamic proprioceptive training. Methods: The subjects of this study were 32 men and women in their 20s who volunteered to participate in the experiment which was carried out over the course of 6 weeks from March 14 to April 24 at K Hospital located in Yongin City. They were tested in two groups: the elastic band resistance exercise group (RE: Resistance Excercise Group, n＝17) and the joint motion range exercise group(ROM: Range of Motion Group, n＝15). In this experiment, static and dynamic proprioceptive tests were given to both groups before and after the test. In this study, SPSS Win ver.12.0 was utilized to perform a T-test on the independent samples in order to validate the identical features of subjects in the RE and ROM Group and substantiate the significance as to the difference between both groups before and after the test. Also, a paired T-test was conducted to compare the static and dynamic proprioception of both groups before and after the test. The statistical significance levels were ${\alpha}$＝.05. Results: 1.The static proprioception in both groups, RE and ROM, increased in a statistically significant way after the test(p<.05). 2.The static propriocetion of the RE group increased in a statistically significant way after the test(p<.05). However, the increase of the static proprioception in the ROM group was not statistically significant. 3.Static and dynamic proprioception of the RE group increased significantly more than that of the ROM group after the test(p<.05). Conclusion: The resistance exercise using elastic bands improved the static and dynamic proprioception more than the joint motion range exercise did, reducing the risk of injury by enhancing the location sense of the joints and the sense of motion and shortening the period of recovery from injury. The outcome of the experiment may provide basic data for developing an effective way to reduce the risk of injury among ordinary people and athletes.

본 연구는 vessel blowdown 시 발생하는 온도와 압력 변화를 보다 정확히 예측하기 위하여 기존에 개발된 dynamic model을 기반으로 새로운 모델을 개발하고, 개발한 모델의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 vessel 내부의 흐름이 층류일 때와 난류일 때를 모두 고려하여 vessel 벽면으로부터 기체로의 열 전달량을 계산하였다. 효율적인 열역학 계산을 위해 일체의 계산식은 압력이 감소하는 단계 별로 나누어 진행하였으며 계산의 부담을 덜어주면서 계산의 정확도를 유지하기 위한 압력변화 size를 결정하였다. 개발한 모델에 Peng-Robinson equation과 Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation을 적용하여 각각의 경우에 따른 결과의 차이를 비교하였다. 마지막으로 모델의 검증을 위해 Haque et al.의 실험조건을 동일하게 적용하여 실험 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교 하였으며, 이를 통해 모델의 정확도를 입증하였다.

Among anti-seismic technologies, base isolation is a very effective means of mitigating damage to structural and nonstructural components, such as equipment. However, most seismic isolation systems are designed for mitigating only horizontal seismic responses because the realization of a vertical isolation system (VIS) is difficult. The difficulty is primarily due to conflicting isolation stiffness demands in the static and dynamic states for a VIS, which requires sufficient rigidity to support the self-weight of the isolated object in the static state, but sufficient flexibility to lengthen the isolation period and uncouple the ground motion in the dynamic state. To overcome this problem, a semi-active VIS, called the piezoelectric inertia-type vertical isolation system (PIVIS), is proposed in this study. PIVIS is composed of a piezoelectric friction damper (PFD) and a leverage mechanism with a counterweight. The counterweight provides an uplifting force in the static state and an extra inertial force in the dynamic state; therefore, the effective vertical stiffness of PIVIS is higher in the static state and lower in the dynamic state. The PFD provides a controllable friction force for PIVIS to further prevent its excessive displacement. For experimental verification, a shaking table test was conducted on a prototype PIVIS controlled by a simple controller. The experimental results well agree with the theoretical results. To further investigate the isolation performance of PIVIS, the seismic responses of PIVIS were simulated numerically by considering 14 vertical ground motions with different characteristics. The responses of PIVIS were compared with those of a traditional VIS and a passive system (PIVIS without control). The numerical results demonstrate that compared with the traditional and passive systems, PIVIS can effectively suppress isolation displacement in all kinds of earthquake with various peak ground accelerations and frequency content while maintaining its isolation efficiency. The proposed system is particularly effective for near-fault earthquakes with long-period components, for which it prevents resonant-like motion.

The possibility of earthquakes in vulnerable regions indicates that efficient technique is required for seismic protection of buildings. During the recent decades, the concept is moving towards the insertion of base isolation on seismic prone buildings. So, investigation of structural behavior is a burning topic for buildings to be isolated in base level by bearing device. This study deals with the incorporation of base isolation system and focuses the changes of structural responses for different types of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) isolators. A number of sixteen model buildings have been simulated selecting twelve types of bearing systems as well as conventional fixed-base (FB) scheme. The superstructures of the high-rise buildings are represented by finite element assemblage adopting multi-degree of freedoms. Static and dynamic analyses are carried out for FB and base isolated (BI) buildings. The dynamic analysis in finite element package has been performed by the nonlinear time history analysis (THA) based on the site-specific seismic excitation and compared employing eminent earthquakes. The influence of the model type and the alteration in superstructure behavior of the isolated buildings have been duly assessed. The results of the 3D multistory structures show that the lateral forces, displacement, inertia and story accelerations of the superstructure of the seismic prone buildings are significantly reduced due to bearing insertion. The nonlinear dynamic analysis shows 12 to 40% lessening in base shear when LRB is incorporated leading to substantial allowance of horizontal displacement. It is revealed that the LRB isolators might be potential options to diminish the respective floor accelerations, inertia, displacements and base shear whatever the condition coincides. The isolators with lower force intercept but higher isolation period is found to be better for decreasing base shear, floor acceleration and inertia force leading to reduction of structural and non-structural damage. However, LRB with lower isolator period seems to be more effective in dropping displacement at bearing interface aimed at reducing horizontal shift of building structure.
