Background: Ginsenosides are the characteristic and principal components which manifest a variety of the biological and pharmacological activities of the roots and rhizomes of Panax ginseng (GRR). This study was carried out to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the ginsenosides in the cultivated and forest GRR. Methods: A rapid and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector and quadrupole/time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS) was applied to the qualitative analysis of ginsenosides and a 4000 QTRAP triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS) was applied to quantitative analysis of 19 ginsenosides. Results: In the qualitative analysis, all ingredients were separated in 10 min. A total of 131 ginsenosides were detected in cultivated and forest GRR. The method for the quantitative determination was validated for linearity, precision, and limits of detection and quantification. 19 representative ginsenosides were quantitated. The total content of all 19 ginsenosides in the forest GRR were much higher than those in the cultivated GRR, and were increased with the growing ages. Conclusion: This newly developed analysis method could be applied to the quality assessment of GRR as well as the distinction between cultivated and forest GRR.

In this paper, we proposed a non-contact respiration measurement system with ultrasonic proximity sensor. Ultrasonic proximity sensor approach of respiration measurement which respiration signatures and rates can be derived in real-time for long-term monitoring is presented. 240 kHz ultrasonic sensor has been applied for the proposed measurement system. The time of flight of sound wave between the transmitted signal and received signal have been used for a respiration measurement from abdominal area. Respiration rates measured with the ultrasonic proximity sensor were compared with those measured with standard techniques on 5 human subjects. Accurate measurement of respiration rate is shown from the 50 cm measurement distance. The data from the method comparison study is used to confirm the performance of the proposed measurement system. The current version of respiratory rate detection system using ultrasonic can successfully measure respiration rate. The proposed measurement method could be used for monitoring unconscious persons from a relatively close range, avoiding the need to apply electrodes or other sensors in the correct position and to wire the subject to the monitor. Monitoring respiration using ultrasonic sensor offers a promising possibility of non-contact measurement of respiration rates. Especially, this technology offers a potentially inexpensive implementation that could extend applications to consumer home-healthcare and mobile-healthcare products. Further advances in the sensor design, system design and signal processing can increase the range of the measurement and quality of the rate-finding for broadening the potential application areas of this technology.

A method was proposed which employed control of the drop location of fertilizer particles on a spinner disc to optimize the spread pattern uniformity. The system contained an optical sensor as a feedback mechanism, which measured discharge velocity and location, as well as particle diameters to predict a spread pattern of a single disc. Simulations showed that the feed gate adaptation algorithm produced high quality patterns for any given application rate in the dual disc spreader. The performance of the feed gate control method was assessed using data collected from a Sulky spinner disc spreader. The results showed that it was always possible to find a spread pattern with an acceptable CV lower than 15%, even though the spread pattern was obtained from a rudimentary flat disc with straight radial vanes. A mathematical optimization method was used to find the initial parameter settings for a specially designed experimental spreading arrangement, which included the feed gate control system, for a given flow rate and swath width. Several experiments were carried out to investigate the relationship between the gate opening and flow rate, disc speed and particle velocity, as well as disc speed and predicted landing location of fertilizer particles. All relationships found were highly linear ($r^2$ > 0.96), which showed that the time-of-flight sensor was well suited as a feedback sensor in the rate and uniformity controlled spreading system.

This paper is focused on the procedure of the development of a micro air vehicle which has vertical take-off and landing capability for indoor reconnaissance mission. Trade studies on mission feasibility led to the proposal of a coaxial rotorcraft configuration as the platform. The survey to provide a guide for preliminary design were conducted based on commercial off-the-shelf platform, and the rotor performance was estimated by the simple momentum theory. To determine the initial size of the micro air vehicle, the modified conventional fuel balance method was applied to adopt for electric powered vehicle, and the sizing problem was optimized with the sequential quadratic programming method using MATLAB. The designed rotor blades were fabricated with high strength carbon composite material and integrated with the platform. The developed coaxial rotorcraft micro air vehicle shows stable handling quality with manual flight test in indoor situation.

COVID-19 대유행이 전 세계로 확산됨에 따라 실시간 원격 화상 강의가 진행되면서 학습자만족 요인이 중요해졌다. 본 연구는 실시간 원격 화상강의의 학습자만족에 영향을 미치는 5개요인(시스템 요인, 콘텐츠 품질, 상호작용, 자기주도성, 학습동기)을 검증하였다. 수도권과 충청권 대학생의 유효 설문지 160개를 대상으로 구조적 방정식 모델을 분석한 결과 2개요인(시스템 요인, 콘텐츠 품질)을 제외한 3개요인(상호작용, 자기주도성, 학습동기)이 학습자만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대학은 실시간 원격 화상 강의 만족도 모델 개발과 평가를 통해 학습자만족을 지속적으로 높여야 한다.

최근 무인비행장치의 활용방안에 대한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이를 지원하기 위해서 국토지리정보원은 『무인비행장치 이용 공공측량 작업지침』을 제정하였다. 하지만 작업지침에는 각 활용 분야에 필요한 최적의 촬영 조건은 제시되어 있지는 않다. 본 연구에서는 측량분야에서 많이 활용되는 3D 공간정보, 정사영상 제작에 적합한 촬영 조건을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 특별승인을 받지 않아도 비행할 수 있는 고도 150m 이내에서 다양한 고도, 중복도, 촬영각도에 따라 45번의 실험을 진행하였다. 3D 모델링의 촬영조건별 품질을 파악하기 위해 총 9곳의 검증영역의 점밀도를 분석하였으며, 정사영상과 1/1,000 수치지도를 비교하였다. 결과물의 품질과 작업시간을 고려할 때, 정밀 3D구축을 위해서는 촬영고도 50m 중복도 70~80% 촬영각도 80~90°의 촬영조건이 적합하고, 정사영상 제작에는 촬영고도 100m 촬영각도 80~90°의 촬영조건이 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

Insects affect crop harvest yield and quality, making plant response mechanisms to insect herbivores a heavily studied topic. However, analysis of plant responses to honeybees is rare. In this study, comprehensive metabolic profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to honeybees was performed to investigate which metabolites were changed by the insect. A total of 85 metabolites-including chlorophylls, carotenoids, glucosinolates, policosanols, tocopherols, phytosterols, β-amyrin, amino acids, organic acids, sugars, and starch-were identified using high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The metabolite profiling analysis of Arabidopsis exposed to honeybees showed higher levels of stress-related metabolites. The levels of glucosinolates (glucoraphanin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin), policosanols (eicosanol, docosanol, tricosanol, tetracosanol), tocopherols (β-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol), putrescine, lysine, and sugars (arabinose, fructose, glucose, mannitol, mannose, raffinose) in Arabidopsis exposed to honeybees were higher than those in unexposed Arabidopsis. Glucosinolates act as defensive compounds against herbivores; policosanols are components of plant waxes; tocopherols act as an antioxidant; and putrescine, lysine, and sugars contribute to stress regulation. Our results suggest that Arabidopsis perceives honeybees as a stress and changes its metabolites to overcome the stress. This is the first step to determining how Arabidopsis reacts to exposure to honeybees.

멀티로터 UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)를 이용해서 수집한 음향 데이터는 모터나 프로펠러에서 발생하는 자체 소음이나 비행 중 발생하는 바람 소리 등으로 인해 음향 품질이 크게 손상되는 문제가 발생한다. 멀티로터 UAV 환경에서는 목표 음향의 크기뿐만 아니라 위상도 크게 손상되기 때문에 크기와 위상을 모두 고려해서 음향을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 하지만 위상은 크기와 달리 구조적인 특징이 잘 나타나지 않으므로 향상시키는 것이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 크기와 위상을 모두 표현할 수 있는 복소 스펙트로그램을 기초로 잡음을 제거해서 목표 음향의 품질을 향상시키는 CNN 기반 복소 스펙트로그램 향상 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 항공기 운영 중에 RF 방사 신호로 인하여 발생한 특정 주파수 대역 대의 수신 잡음에 대한 개선 방안을 연구하였다. 항공기의 통신장비는 내/외부통신의 기능을 담당하기에 비행 임무 수행과 안전에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 잡음이 없고 깨끗한 통신 품질과 송/수신 기능이 구현되어야 한다. 따라서 특정 주파수 대역 대의 수신 잡음 현상을 고장탐구를 통해 원인분석을 하였다. 항공기 내부의 특정 보조시스템 장비에서 발산되는 RF 방사 신호로 인해 발생한 수신 잡음을 무전해 니켈 도금이 적용된 CAP으로 차폐하여 개선하였다. 또한, 개선 방안에 대한 측정 및 검증 결과도 함께 기술하였다.
