High-sided road vehicles are susceptible to a sharp-edged crosswind gust, which may cause vehicle accidents such as overturning, excessive sideslip, or exaggerated rotation. This paper thus investigates the dynamic behaviour and possible accidents of high-sided road vehicles entering a sharp-edged crosswind gust with road surface roughness and vehicle suspension included. The high-sided road vehicle is modelled as a combination of several rigid bodies connected by a series of springs and dampers in both vertical and lateral directions. The random roughness of road surface is generated from power spectral density functions for various road conditions. The empirical formulae derived from wind tunnel test results are employed to determine aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the vehicle. After the governing equations of motion are established, an extensive computation work is performed to examine the effects of road surface roughness and vehicle suspension on the dynamic behaviour and vehicle accidents. It is demonstrated that for the high-sided road vehicle and wind forces specified in the computation, the accident vehicle speed of the road vehicle running on the road of average condition is relatively smaller than that running on the road of very good condition for a given crosswind gust. The vehicle suspension system should be taken into consideration, and the accident vehicle speed becomes smaller if the vehicle suspension system has softer springs and lighter dampers.

It is necessary to perform a study on the interrace between a G7 pantograph and a KTX catenary system prior to G7 on-line tests in the Korea High Speed Test Track in order to predict how high current collection quality can be obtained during the on-line tests and check if safety problems shall be caused b)Y the tests or not. According to the simulation results, current collection quality of the G7 pantograph at 350km/h is lower than that of a GPU pantograph at 300km/h, but the contact wire uplifts and average contact forces are within the safe-zone. In addition, the ratio of running speed (350km/h) to safe running. Therefore, the G7 on-line tests at 350km/h in the Korea High Speed Test Track is expected not to cause the safety problem.

Complementary trees are two spanning trees rooted at the sink node satisfying that any source node's two paths to the sink node on the two trees are node-disjoint. Complementary trees routing strategy is a special node-disjoint multi-path routing approach. Several complementary trees routing algorithms have been proposed, in which path discovery methods based on depth first search (DFS) or Dijkstra's algorithm are used to find a path for augmentation in each round of path augmentation step. In this paper, a novel path discovery method based on multi-tree-growing (MTG) is presented for the first time to our knowledge. Based on this path discovery method, a complementary trees routing algorithm is developed with objectives of low average path length on both spanning trees and low complexity. Measures are employed in our complementary trees routing algorithm to add a path with nodes near to the sink node in each round of path augmentation step. The simulation results demonstrate that our complementary trees routing algorithm can achieve low average path length on both spanning trees with low running time, suitable for wireless sensor networks in industrial scenarios.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the kinematic characteristics of the national speed skaters in the curve phase of 500-m race. Method: Seven national skaters participated in the study. Race images were acquired using a high - speed camera, and the three-dimensional motion was analyzed. Results: For skaters, whose average velocity in the curve phase is high, the velocity of entry into the straight phase was also fast. The fast skaters showed a larger maximum angle of extension of the knee joints than the relatively slow skaters, and the trunk ROM was smaller. Fast skaters tended to match the timing of the movement of the lower limb with the pelvis, while slow skaters tended to rotate the left pelvis backward. The velocity of the curve phase did not show a clear relationship with stroke time, average trunk angle, and lap time. Conclusion: It is important to skate close to the inner line, keep the trunk ROM below 10 degrees, extend the knee angle to over 160 degrees, and match the movement of the pelvis and lower limb to accelerate in the curve phase. The average velocity of the curves was fast for many athletes, but the competition rankings were low. Therefore, it is possible to improve the performance by optimizing the start technique, the running characteristics of the straight phase, and the physical factors.

This study was conducted to observe egg and larvae morphological development of carp to obtain basic data for resource conservation and taxonomic research. Brood carp used in the research (total length 67.3-75.5 cm, average $71.0{\pm}3.45cm$) were bred in a circular rearing aquarium ($600{\times}300{\times}100cm$) using a running water system from January to July, 2015. Breeding water temperature was maintained at $23.0-25.0^{\circ}C$(average $24.0^{\circ}C$). Fertilized carp eggs were translucent and globular, and their size was 1.75-1.89 mm (average $1.82{\pm}0.06mm$). Blastoderms formed 10 min after fertilization and reached the two-cell stage 30 min after fertilization. Then, the embryo turned dark and exhibited melanophores, and blood started flowing from the heart across the egg yolk at 42 hrs and 50 min after fertilization. Hatching began 70 hrs and 26 min after fertilization larvae emerged through the egg membrane, starting from the head. The length of prelarvae immediately after hatching was 5.23-5.38 mm (average $5.31{\pm}0.11mm$) the mouth and anus were closed, and the pectoral fin was formed. Postlarvae at 18 days after hatching had a total length of 11.9-13.9 mm (average $12.9{\pm}1.40mm$), separate anal fin and back membranes, and fin ray. Juveniles fish at 35 days after hatching had a total length of 29.9-30.2 mm (average $30.1{\pm}0.13mm$), with the body covered with scales, and the same number of fin rays, color, and shape as their broodstork.

도로물류부문의 온실가스 저감 및 물류체계를 효율화하기 위해서는 화물차의 운행효율화가 무엇보다 중요하다. 효율적인 수송체계의 구축은 화물차의 적재효율 향상, 수송수단의 전환 등을 통하여 온실가스 저감 및 수송비용을 절감할 수 있다. 또한, 물류부문의 환경부하량을 감축하기 위해서는 환경부하를 정량적으로 파악할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만, 국내 물류기업의 환경부하에 대한 체계적인 조사가 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 물류부문의 화물환경지표로 화물수송실적(ton km) 당 $CO_2$ 배출량으로 설정하였다. 여기서, 화물수송실적(ton km) 당 $CO_2$ 배출량은 1 ton의 화물을 1 km 수송할 때 배출되는 $CO_2$ 양이다. 국내 물류기업을 대상으로 분석한 결과와 영국, 프랑스의 화물수송실적 당 CO2 배출량을 비교하면 국내 업체가 $363g-CO_2/ton{\cdot}km$로 영국 $130g-CO_2/ton{\cdot}km$에 비해 2.8배, 프랑스 $97g-CO_2/ton{\cdot}km$로 3.7배 높게 배출되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 영국과 프랑스에 비해 국내 화물차의 공차 운행율이 높고, 적재 효율은 낮은 것이 주요 원인으로 판단된다.

MANET(Mobile Ad hoc Network)은 두 대 이상의 이동 무선 단말로 구성되는 네트워크로 단말의 한정된 에너지 때문에 많은 제한성을 가지게 된다. MANET에서 특정 노드들의 조기 에너지 소진은 네트워크 성능에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 해결책으로 송, 수신지 사이에 가능한 많은 노드 비중첩 다중 경로를 구축하고, 각 경로상 노드가 가진 평균 에너지, 최소 에너지, 혹은 에너지 분산 값에 따라 다중 경로를 통해 패킷을 분산 전송한다. 에너지 정보 수집 방법을 크게 Static 방식과 Dynamic 방식으로 나누며, 수집하는 에너지 정보에 따라 Static-Average, Static-Minimum, Static-Variance, 그리고, Dynamic-Average, Dynamic-Minimum, Dynamic-Variance 등 6가지 방식으로 나누고, NS2 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 성능을 비교하고 평가한다.

우리나라 해안지역은 강풍의 빈도가 높고 세기도 크지만 아직까지 바람을 고려한 적정속도를 안내하는 시스템은 전무한 상태이다. 강풍이 부는 곳에서의 무리한 주행은 핸들 조작의 어려움으로 인한 사고 위험과 풍속을 고려하지 않은 과속으로 인한 전복사고 등의 위험이 크다. 이러한 측면에서 바람 잦은 곳 중 주요지점에 기상정보센서(WIS:Weather Information Sensor)를 설치하고 이로부터 실시간으로 측정된 기상정보를 바탕으로 차량의 구동력과 주행저항의 크기를 극대화하는 적정속도를 VMS를 통하여 제공하는 방안이 필요하다. 목포시에 건설예정인 목포대교를 대상으로 풍속별 적정 속도를 산출한 결과, 연중 평균 풍향인 남풍일 경우 교량의 입지(정남-북)에 따라 남측으로 주행하는 차량에 대하여 풍속이 8m/h이상일 경우에는 평상시와 달리 돌풍을 대비한 여유구동력이 큰 60km/h의 속도를 안내해 주는 것이 바람직 한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 2003년도에 발생한 태풍 매미 시 목포시의 풍속인 18m/s 일 경우 시속 40km/s에서의 주행저항은 1131N으로써, 이미 변속 4단에서의 구동력(약 1054N)으로는 극복할 수 없으므로 3단 이하에서 변속을 하여야 하며, 이때의 적정속도는 주행저항과 구동력간의 차이가 가장 크게 발생하는 40km/h인 것으로 분석되었다.

Purpose: The pedicle of transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous(TRAM) flap and deep inferior epigastric arterial perforator flap is deep inferior epigastic artery (DIEA) and accurate anatomic knowledge about perforator of DIEA is very important for the elevation of these flap. The authors investigated a detailed vascular network of perforator of DIEA in Koreans. Methods: 24 fresh cadavers were studied. Among them, 15 were examined based on the plain X-ray examination for the distribution and location of perforator of DIEA. And 9 fresh cadavers were examined based on the 3-dimensional computed tomography(CT) study for the distance between ending point of perforator of DIEA and mother artery, the distance between most medial mother artery and midline, the distance between most lateral mother artery and midline, and the running type of perforators of DIEA. Results: Based on the plain X-ray examination, suitable(external diameter$${\geq_-}0.5mm$$) perforators of DIEA are located between the level of umbilicus and 8 cm below it. Based on the 3D-CT study, average distance between the ending point of perforator of DIEA and the mother artery is 30.26 mm on the left, 28.62 mm on the right, respectively. The average distance between most medial mother artery and midline is 17.13 mm on the left, 15.76 mm on the right, respectively. The average distance between most lateral mother artery and midline is 56.31 mm on the left, 50.90 mm on the right, respectively. The main running course of suitable perforators of DIEA is type a, which is a direct musculocutaneous perforator vessel from main vascular axis passing outward to join the subdermal plexus, directly. Conclusion: 3-dimensional computed tomography study as well as plain X-ray examination provided more accurate and detail informations about perforators of DIEA in Koreans. These informations will help us understand the detailed vascular anatomy and operation with ease and safe in the lower abdomen of Koreans.

Purpose: To describe the profile of chronic and aggressive periodontitis among Senegalese (West Africans) attending the Institute of Dentistry of Dakar. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with an inclusion period running from 2001 to 2008. The sample included 413 chronic periodontitis and 151 aggressive periodontitis cases, among them 299 males and 265 females selected from 2,274 records. A Student's independent t-test or Pearson chi-squared test was used for data analysis. Results: The proportion of females with aggressive periodontitis was significantly higher than those with chronic periodontitis (64.9% vs. 40.4%, P<0.001). The aggressive periodontitis patients had an average age of $28.1{\pm}8.9$ years, and had lost less than 3 teeth. Less than a third of them reported using a toothbrush. Attachment loss was as high as 8 mm and severe lesions had spread to an average of 12 teeth with maximum alveolar bone loss up to 80%. The chronic periodontitis patients had an average age of $44.9{\pm}14.0$ and had lost on average less than 3 teeth. Nearly 75% used a toothbrush. Attachment loss was significantly higher and lesions were more extensive in the aggressive periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis is associated with risk factors such as smoking or diabetes mellitus in 12.8% versus 0.7% in aggressive periodontitis (P<0.001). Differences between the two groups for most clinical and radiographic parameters were statistically significant. Conclusions: The profile of aggressive periodontist is characterized by more severe lesions than chronic periodontitis, whereas tooth loss experience is similar in both forms.
