A quantitative evaluation of postural balance training using a virtual reality bicycle system was performed. In the experiment, the effectiveness of virtual reality bicycle system on postural balance training was analyzed with four male subjects in their twenties. The parameters measured during cycling were cycling time, average velocity, number of times subject deviated from path, and weight shift. Those parameters were evaluated for the quantification of the extent of control. We also measured the parameters on postural control capability after 5th trial and 10th trial in a balance testing system with a force plate to find out the effectiveness of the training. In the balance test with force plate, it was found out that the weight shift was almost zero and the deviation from the target trace reduced significantly after the training with the virtual cycle. The result showed that the virtual bicycle system was an effective system as a rehabilitation training device.

여러 저장온도($5{\sim}25^{\circ}C$)에서 저장하는 동안의 두부의 물성 변화는 응력완화현상을 이용하여 시간-온도 중첩 이론을 통해 계산하고 분석하였으며 WLF(Williams-Landel-Ferry)식을 이용해서 품질변화를 예측할 수 있는 적용식을 제시하였다. 저장온도가 낮을수록 저장시 두부 조직의 초기응력 및 평형응력(equilibrium stress)이 강하게 나타났고, $15^{\circ}C$ 온도를 기준으로 이동인자를 이용하여 좌우 수평으로 이동시 하나의 중첩곡선(master curve)을 구하였다. 이동인자와 중첩곡선을 이용하여 WLF식에 적용해서 활성화 에너지를 계산하였고 임의 온도에서 저장 시간을 예측하였으며, 실제 두부 조직의 저장성을 논하였다.

This paper focuses on the actuation system combined with a piezoelectric transducer and an electric circuit, which leads to a new insight; the electric actuation system is equivalent to mechanical variable-stiffness actuation systems. By controlling the switch in the circuit, the electric status of the piezoelectric transducer is changed, and consequently a variable-stiffness mechanism is achieved on the electric actuator. This proposed actuator features a shift in the equilibrium point of force, while conventional electrically-induced variable-stiffness actuators feature the variation of the stiffness value. We intensively focus on the equilibrium shift in the actuation system, which has been neglected. The stiffness of the variable-stiffness actuator is periodically modulated by controlling the switch, to suppress the vibration of the system in an open-loop way. It is proved that this electric actuator is equivalent to its mechanical counterpart, and that the electrical version has some practical advantages over the mechanical one. Furthermore, another kind of electrically-induced variable-stiffness actuator, using an energy-recycling mechanism is also discussed from the viewpoint of open-loop vibration control. Extensive numerical simulations provide comprehensive assessment on both electrically-induced variable-stiffness actuators employed for open-loop vibration control.

The stabilities of the charge transfer complexes of pentamethyl benzene with iodine in n-hexane have been investigated by UV-spectrophotometric measurements at 25, 40 and 60$^{\circ}C$ up to 1600 bars. The equilibrium constant of the complex formation was increased with pressure while being decreased with temperature raising. Changes of volume, enthalpy, free energy and entropy for the formation of the complexes were obtained from the equilibrium constants. The red-shift at higher pressure, the blue-shift at higher temperature, and the relation between pressure and oscillator strength have been discussed by means of thermodynamic functions. In comparison with the results in the previous studies, the absolute values of ${\Delta}$V at each temperature were increased with the number of methyl groups of polymethyl benzene. However, it can be seen that both ${\Delta}$H and ${\Delta}$S show extreme behaviors in durene near atmospheric pressure but they are negatively increased with the number of methyl groups near 1600 bar. This order of the thermodynamic parameters may be a measure of the relative basicities of polymethyl benzenes toward iodine under each pressure, and these phenomena are explained in terms of a positive inductive effect and a steric hindrance effect of the polymethyl benzene molecule.

본 연구는 1차원 반응기 모델을 이용한 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 수소투과량, 수소선택도, 사용된 촉매의 양, 급송흐름에서의 $H_2O/CO$ 조성비 및 Ar sweep gas가 막반응기(membrane reactor)에서의 수성가스전이반응의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 막반응기에서 평형상태보다 향상된 수소수율을 얻기 위해선 적어도 100 이상의 수소선택도를 가져야 함이 관찰되었으며, 수소투과량이 계속 증가될 경우에는 수소수율의 증가폭이 점차 감소됨이 보였다. 낮은 수소투과량의 경우에는 촉매량이 증가할수록 초기엔 증가된 CO 전환율을 보이다가 점차 그 증가폭이 감소되었으며, 높은 수소투과량의 경우에는 촉매의 양과 무관하게 높은 CO 전환율이 관찰되었다. 급송흐름에서의 $H_2O/CO$ 조성비가 1.5 이상인 경우엔 수소투과량이 막반응기에서의 CO 전환율에 미치는 영향이 미미하였고, 막반응기에서 평형상태보다 향상된 CO 전환율을 얻기 위해선 적어도 $6.7{\times}10^{-6}mol\;s^{-1}$ 의 Ar 몰유속이 필요함이 밝혀졌다.

현재 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 막반응기를 이용한 수소 생산기술은 열역학적 평형의 한계(thermodynamic equilibrium limit)를 뛰어 넘는 생산성을 얻을 수 있음과 동시에 생산되는 수소를 별다른 과정이나 장치 없이 분리할 수 있다는 점에서 경제적으로 매우 기대되는 공정이다. 메탄의 개질반응에서 생성되는 합성가스에 수증기를 첨가하면 널리 알려진 수성가스전환반응이 이루어진다. 이 반응은 수소 생산 공정에 사용되는 주요 반응 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 새롭게 제안된 cell을 이용한 해석 기법을 통해 막반응기를 모사하여 막을 이용하지 않은 반응기의 모사 결과와 비교 분석하였으며, 막반응기의 우수성을 검증해 보았다. 막을 사용하지 않은 반응기에서 압력의 영향에 따른 반응속도의 변화는 수성가스전환반응에서 무시할 수 있을 만큼 작았다. 막반응기에서 튜브 측(tube side)의 압력은 높을수록, 쉘 측(shell side)의 압력은 낮을수록 CO의 전환율이 좋았다. 낮은 온도에서 반응의 속도가 낮았으며, 온도가 증가함에 따라 점차 증가하여 600$\pm$30K에서 최대의 CO전환율을 가졌으며 더 증가하면 열역학적 평형의 감소로 인하여 점차 감소하였다. Cell을 이용한 막반응기 모델은 미분방정식을 이용한 모델보다 간단하게 모사를 할 수 있었으며, 신뢰할만한 모사 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study is intended to evaluate the dependency of TRU recycling characteristics on the neutron spectrum shift in a Pb-Bi cooled core. Considering two Pb-Bi cooled cores with the soft and the hard spectrum, respectively, various characteristics of the recycled core are carefully examined and compared with each other. Assuming very simplified fuel cycle management with the homogeneous and single region fuel loading, the burnup calculations are performed until the recycled core reached to the (quasi-) equilibrium state. The mechanism of TRU recycling toward the equilibrium is analyzed in terms of burnup reactivity and the isotopic compositions of TRU fuel. In the comparative analyses, the difference in the recycling behavior between the two cores is clarified. In addition, the basic safety characteristics of the recycled core are also discussed in terms of the Doppler coefficient, the coolant loss reactivity coefficient, and the effective delayed neutron fraction.

Enamel demineralization represents the most prevalent complication arising from fixed orthodontic treatment. Its main etiology is the development of cariogenic biofilms formed around orthodontic appliances. Ordinarily, oral biofilms exist in a dynamic equilibrium with the host's defense mechanisms. However, the equilibrium can be disrupted by environmental changes, such as the introduction of a fixed orthodontic appliance, resulting in a shift in the biofilm's microbial composition from non-pathogenic to pathogenic. This alteration leads to an increased prevalence of cariogenic bacteria, notably mutans streptococci, within the biofilm. This article examines the relationships between oral biofilms and orthodontic appliances, with a particular focus on strategies for effectively managing oral biofilms to mitigate enamel demineralization around orthodontic appliances.

It has been reported that at low temperature region, poloxamers existed as a monomer. Upon warming, an equilibrium between unimers and micelles was established, and finally micelle aggregates were formed at higher temperature. In this study, the fluorescence spectroscopy was used to study the micelle formation of the poloxamer 407 in aqueous solution. The excitation and emission spectra of pyrene, a fluorescence probe, were measured as a function of the concentration of poloxamer 407 and temperature. A blue shift in the emission spectrum and a red shift in the excitation spectrum were observed as pyrene transferred from an aqueous to a hydrophobic micellar environment. From the $I_1/I_3 and I_{339}/I_{333}$ results, critical micelle concentration (cmc) and critical micelle temperature (cmt) were determined. Also, from the fluorescence spectra of the probe molecules such as 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid and 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde, the blue shift of the $\lambda_{max}$ was observed. These results suggest a decrease in the polarity of the microenvironment around probe because of micelle formation. The poloxamer 407 above cmc strongly complexed with hydrophobic fluorescent probes and the binding constant of complex increased with increasing the hydrophobicity of the probe.
