  • The aim of the present study was to examine whether motor imagery (MI) practice in conjunction with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to stroke patients could improve theirgait ability. This study was conducted with 29 subjects diagnosed with hemiparesis due to stroke.The experimental group consisted of 15 members who were performed MI practice in conjunction with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, while the control group consisted of 14 members who were performed MI practice and sham therapy. Both groups received traditional physical therapy for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks; additionally, they received mental practice for 15 minutes. The experimental group was instructed to perform rTMS and the control group was instructed to apply sham stimulation for 15 minutes. Gait analysis was performed using a three-dimensional motion capture system, which is a real-time tracking device that delivers data via infrared reflective markers using six cameras. Results showed that the velocity, step length, and cadence of both groups were significantly improved after the practice (p<0.05). Significant differences were found between the groups in velocity and cadence (p<0.05) as well as with respect to the change rate (p<0.05) after practice. The results showed that MI practice in conjunction with rTMS is more effective in improving gait ability than MI practice alone.

  • In ship structure, many parts are in contact with inner or outer fluid as stern, ballast and oil tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these tanks in contact with fluid are significantly affected by fluid coupling effect. Therefore it is important to exactly predict vibration characteristics of tank structure. In order to estimate the vibration characteristics, the fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problem should be solved precisely. But it is difficult to estimate exactly the magnitude of the fluid coupling effect because it has some problems such as a fluid-structure interaction, influence by the free surface, vibration modes of structural panels and depth of water. In this paper, with fluid coupling effect, the effect of structural constraint between panels on the vibration characteristics are investigated numerically and discussed.

  • Dopants and defects can be introduced as well as the intercalation of metals into single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to modify their electronic and magnetic properties, thus significantly widening their application areas. Through spinpolarized density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have systemically studied the following: (i) (10,0) and (5,5) SWCNT doped with nitrogen ($CN_xNT$), (ii) (10,0) and (5,5) SWCNT with pyridine-like defects (3NV-$CN_xNT$), and (iii) chemical functionalization of (10,0) and (5,5) 3NV-$CN_xNT$ with 12 different transition metals (TMs) (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, and Pt). Attention was done in searching for the most stable configurations, deformation, calculating the formation energies, and exploring the effects of the doping concentration of nitrogen and pyridine-like nitrogenated defects on the electronic properties of the nanotubes. Also, calculating the corresponding binding energies and effects of chemical functionalization of TMs on the electronic and magnetic properties of the nanotubes has been made. We found out that the electronic properties of SWCNT can be effectively modified in various ways, which are strongly dependent not only on the concentration of the adsorbed nitrogen but also to the configuration of the adsorbed nitrogen impurities, the pyridine-like nitrogenated defects, and the TMs absorbed; due to the strong interaction between the d orbitals of TMs and the p orbitals of N atoms, the binding strengths of TMs with the two 3NV-$CN_xNT$ are significantly enhanced when compared to the pure SWCNTs.

  • This paper presents an implementation method of Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) decoder using a general-purpose multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP), TMS320C6670. Although the DSP provides some useful coprocessors such as turbo decoder, fast Fourier transformer, Viterbi Coprocessor, Bit Rate Coprocessor etc., it is specific to the base station platform implementation not the mobile terminal platform implementation. This paper shows an implementation method of the LTE-A PDSCH decoder using programmable DSP cores as well as the coprocessors of Fast Fourier Transformer and turbo decoder. First, it uses the coprocessor supported by the TMS320C6670, which can be used for PDSCH implementation. Second, we propose a core programming method using DSP optimization method for block diagram of PDSCH that can not use coprocessor. Through the implementation, we have verified a real-time decoding feasibility for the LTE-A downlink physical channel using test vectors which have been generated from LTE-A Reference Measurement Channel (RMC) Waveform R.6.

  • A Simultaneous determination method was improved for the determination and confirmation of zeranol, zearalenone, as well as their isomers and metabolites, in beef. The analytes were extracted from tissue by CH3CN, hydrolyzed enzymatically(for glucuronide conjugates), cleaned up by a strong basic anion exchange resin combined with a liquid/liquid partitioning, derivatized using MSTFA and confirmed, quantified by GC/MS/SIM with a internal standard, zearalane. The results were as follows : (1) all the estrogens were separated on the GC/MS chromatogram under the extraction method and the chromatographic conditions improved, the retention times of zearalane-TMS2, zearalanone-TMS2, zearalenone-TMS2, zeranol-TMS3, taleranol-TMS3, and $\alpha$-zearalenol-TMS3, $\beta$-zearalenol-TMS3, were 18.49, 19.44, 19.63, 19.71, 19.79 and 19.99, 20.08 minutes, respectively. (2) The calibration curves of residual zeranol, zearalenone and their metabolites showed constantly linear(r=0.99) in the range of 5~20 ng. The minimum detection concentration of residual zeranol, zearalenone and their metabolites was 1 ppb. (3) The total average recovery of residual zeranol, zearalenone and their metabolites from spiked beef was 60.2%(CV=29.7%) at the 1 ppb and 63.5%(CV=26.5) at the 2 ppb, 72.9%(CV=18.2%) at the 4 ppb. (4) The preservation method for 6 estrogens was improved for the fast running time(21 min) and MSTFA was utilized for derivatizing 6 estrogens for improvement of recovery, for good resolution, for characteristic mass spectra unlike Jose's method and Tina's method. The utilization of zearalane as internal standard showed good quantification result for zeranol, zearalenone, as well as their isomers and metabolites, in beef.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 벌꿀에 함유되어 있는 이 삼당류를 정성 및 정량하기 위하여 벌꿀분석에 많이 사용하고 있는 20개의 표준당류를 대상으로 TMS, TMS-oxime, TMS-methoxime 당류를 조제한 다음 GC 및 GC/MS에서 그들의 분리특성과 분리능을 조사하여 정성과 정량이 가능한 완전히 분리된 하나의 당류 피크를 선정하여 이를 벌꿀시료의 이당류와 삼당류 분석에 이용하는 것이다. 실험결과, 세가지 유도체화 당류들의 GC 및 GC/MS 분석에서 당류들은 정성 및 정량이 가능한 한 개 이상의 피크를 나타내었으며, 전반적인 당류들의 피크 분리능은 GC보다 GC/MS에서 좀 더 양호하게 나타났다. 최적 기기분석조건은 DB-5MSUI 컬럼을 사용하여, 초기 oven 온도를 $175^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 두고 $3^{\circ}C$씩 증가시킨 후 $245^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 머무르다가 $7^{\circ}C$씩 증가시킨 다음 $315^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 등온 분석할 때였다. 각각의 유도체화 조건에서 완전한 분리로 정량이 가능한 당류는 TMS 당류에서 sucrose, maltose (1), (2), cellobiose (1), (2), palatinose, ${\alpha},{\beta}$-trehalose, kojibiose (2), melibiose (1), (2), gentibiose, isomaltose (1), (2), raffinose, 1-kestose, erlose, melezitose였고, TMS-oxime 당류에서 sucrose, ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-trehalose, ${\alpha},{\beta}$-trehalose cellobiose (E), maltulose (E), turanose (Z), nigerose (Z), kojibiose (Z), palatinose (E), melibiose (Z), isomaltose (E), (Z)와 삼당류 전체였으며, TMS-methoxime 당류는 sucrose, cellobiose (E), maltulose (E), cellobiose (Z), turanose (E), maltose (Z), ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-trehalose, nigerose (E), (Z), kojibiose (E), (Z), gentibiose (E), melibiose (Z), isomaltose (Z) 등과 삼당류 전체로 나타났으며, 실제 벌꿀시료의 분석에서는 TMS-oxime과 TMS-methoxime 당류만으로도 이 삼당류의 정량이 가능하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 확립한 분석방법은 몇개의 당류들이 동시 용출 또는 유사한 $t_R$을 가짐으로 해서 분석자체에 애로가 있거나 분석 후 다중회귀분석프로그램과 같은 통계처리 과정을 거쳐야 하는 기존의 분석방법과는 달리, 한 개의 capillary 컬럼과 한가지 GC 온도 프로그래밍 조건으로 크로마토그램 상에서 완전히 분리된 하나의 피크를 정량하는 방법이기 때문에 벌꿀을 연구하는 기관이나 관련 실험실에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

  • 뚜렛 증후군은 주로 아동기에 발생하는 만성적인 운동 및 음성 틱을 주소로 하는 질환이다. 기저핵-시상-피질 회로에서의 이상이 비자발성 틱의 병태생리에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 뚜렛 증후군은 흔히 주의력 결핍 과잉행동장애나 강박장애와 병존한다. 경두개 자기자극술은 연구용으로 많이 사용되는 신경생리학적 기법이다. 이 기법이 피질의 활성을 변화시킬 수 있다는 증거들이 많아서, 반복적 경두개 자기자극술은 피질의 활성도를 바꾸어서 결과적으로 내재한 서로 연결된 피질-피질하 회로에 영향을 주기 위하여 치료적 목적으로도 사용된다. 우리는 본 논문에서 경두개자극술의 여러 신경생리학적 변인들과 임상적 응용에 관하여 기존의 연구보고들을 고찰하여 보고자 한다.

  • This paper is aiming to estimate the mutual influence of the stack cooling performances with the operation modes of the thermal management system for the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The heat capacity of the thermal management system was measured by varying the operating modes such as stack cooling heat exchanger only (Mode 1), stack cooling and electric devices cooling heat exchangers (Mode 2), and stack cooling and electric devices cooling heat exchangers with an operation of the condenser (Mode 3).As the results, Performance of the thermal management system (TMS) at Mode 3 decreased up to 34.0%, compared with the result of the Mode 1. In addition, in order to optimize the performance of TMS, the entropy change of stack cooling heat exchanger using irreversibility analysis technique was analyzed with the relationship between entropy generation and entering air velocity of the thermal management system.
