This study aims to empirically investigate the effects of the individual-level characteristics on their timing decisions for their enlistments even though military services are their duties under a draft system. The individual characteristics considered include five psychological factors, such as attitude, uncertainty, information search level, future expectation, and perceived risk towards army, and other several demographic variables. Measurement scales for these psychological variables are developed and a duration model for individuals' enrollment timing decisions is also proposed. The proposed model is fitted to a survey data set collected from both those who have completed military service and those who have not. The estimation results show that two of five psychological variables, negative attitude and perceived risk, and several demographic variables, including education level, income level, residence area, and the number of family members serving the army, have meaningful impacts on the timing decisions for military service. Specifically, the enlistment timings are found to be more delayed as negative attitude towards army is stronger, perceived risk on army is higher, education level is higher, academic performance is better, income level is either low or high, residence area is either Seoul or big cities, and the proportion of family members enlisted is smaller. Several important managerial implications for alleviating problems resulting from enrollment postponements are also discussed.

In this paper, a planar structure negative group delay circuit(NGDC) is proposed to overcome the limited availability of the component values required for the prototype lumped element(LE) NGDC design. From the prototype LE circuit analysis, general design equations and the conditions to obtain the NGD are derived and illustrated. Then the LE circuit is converted into the planar structure by applying the transmission line resonator(TLR) theory. As a design example, the LE NGDC and the proposed planar structure NGDC are designed and compared. To estimate the commercial applicability, 2-stage reflection type planar NGDC with -5.6 ns of total group delay, -0.2 dB of insertion loss, and 30 MHz of bandwidth together with 0.1 dB and 0.5 ns of the magnitude and group delay flatness, respectively, for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access(WCDMA) downlink band is fabricated and demonstrated. Also, to show the applicability of the proposed NGDC, we have configured a simple signal cancellation loop and obtained good loop suppression performance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the spontaneous therapy, TENS(transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and ice therapy after induction of DOMS(delayed onset muscle soreness) through application of eccentrically exercise in ralation to biceps brachii muscle of opposite-dominance. And to explain this, we analyzed VAS(visual analogue scales), peak torque, RMS(roots mean square) when exercising elbow joint. The subjects were 30 adults without any physical defect. Subjects were divided into three groups that spontaneous therapy, TENS therapy and ice therapy after DOMS induction, choosen movement could get the maximal peak torque in angular velocity of $60^{\circ}$/sec, and mearsured peak torque, RMS and VAS. 1. The VAS was significantly decreased after 3 days application of TENS than other groups(p<.05). 2. The peak torque was significantly increased after 3 days application of TENS than other groups(p<.05). 3. The RMS was significantly increased after 3 days application of TENS than other groups(p<.05). This study showed that TENS therapy application were effective treatment strategy on DOMS than spontaneous therapy and ice therapy. Therefore, it could be considered as a treatment method in the patients with DOMS.

In this paper, we propose an alternative method to increase the distortion cancellation bandwidth of an analog RF feedback power amplifier by using a negative group delay circuit(NGDC). A limited distortion cancellation bandwidth due to the group delay(GD) mismatch discouraged the use of feedback technique in spite of its powerful linearization performance. With the fabricated NGDC with positive phase slope over frequency, the feedback amplifier of the proposed topology experimentally achieved adjacent channel leakage ratio(ACLR) improvement of 15 dB over 50 MHz bandwidth at wideband code division multiple access(WCDMA) downlink band when tested with 2-carrier WCDMA signal. At an average output power of 28 dBm, ACLR of 25.1 dB is improved to obtain -53.2 dBc at 5 MHz offset.

This paper presents analysis results for the effect of the directional group delay of the antenna to implement a precision radio navigation system. The analysis was conducted through antenna simulation and test, and the test was performed in an anechoic chamber. The directional group delay of the antenna was calculated in phase-based analysis method. The results showed that a variation of up to 7.7ns in group delay occurred per antenna direction. The group delay variation from the analysis is 2.31 meters when converted into distance. It was tested using a real radio navigation system based on the time of arrival (TOA). The test verified the distance variation of 2.1 meters, and this value is similar to those obtained from the simulation and chamber test analysis.

We will demonstrate a novel topology for the feedforward amplifier. This amplifier does not use a delay element thus providing an efficiency enhancement and a size reduction by employing a distributed element negative group delay circuit. The insertion loss of the delay element in the conventional feedforward amplifier seriously degrades the efficiency. Usually, a high power co-axial cable or a delay line filter is utilized for a low loss, but the insertion loss, cost and size of the delay element still acts as a bottleneck. The proposed negative group delay circuit removes the necessity of the delay element required for a broadband signal suppression loop. With the fabricated 2-stage distributed element negative group delay circuit with -9 ns of total group delay, a 0.2 dB of insertion loss, and a 30 MHz of bandwidth for a wideband code division multiple access downlink band, the feedforward amplifier with the proposed topology experimentally achieved a 19.4 % power added efficiency and a -53.2 dBc adjacent channel leakage ratio with a 44 dBm average output power.

Purpose: This study performed to compare degree of joint stiffness and clinical results between early and delayed reconstruction of acute posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two Patients who underwent PCL reconstruction between March 2008 and October 2011 enrolled this study. We performed transtibial single bundle reconstruction using the allo-achilles tendon in all cases. We divided the patient into two groups, early reconstruction group underwent surgery before a week, delayed reconstruction group underwent surgery after 3 weeks, before 6 weeks. All the patients underwent aggressive joint motion exercise till surgery and enrolled post operative rehabilitation program. We checked posterior drawer stress radiography, range of motion, the Lysholm score, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score and the Tegner score to evaluate the results. Results: At the final follow up the Lysholm score was 92.1 in the early group and 93.8 in the delayed group. All the cases were rated above B (near normal) on IKDC score (p=0.808, p=0.722). The Tegner score was 6.6 in the early reconstruction group and 6.2 in the delayed group (p=0.480), The average of maximum flexion and extension angle was $133.9^{\circ}$, $1.4^{\circ}$ in the early group and $133.6^{\circ}$, $1.1^{\circ}$ in the delayed group (p=0.560, p=0.581), no complication such as deep vein thrombosis or infection, no difference in posterior drawer stress radiography (p=0.750). Conclusion: We could obtain satisfactory clinical results in both the early and delayed reconstruction groups of acute PCL injuries. Therefore, the early reconstruction of PCL performed before a week could be one of the treatment options for acute PCL injury.

치아 미백술은 치아의 심미성을 향상시키는 가장 보존적인 방법의 하나로 인식되어져 왔으며 최근의 심미치과에 대한 관심의 증가와 함께 그 빈도가 급격히 증가하고 있는 술식의 하나이다. 일반적으로 치아 미백술 후 바로 접착수복을 할 경우 결합력이 감소하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 이를 해소하기 위해 일정시간 경과 후 접착수복 술식을 시행할 것을 권장 하고 있다. 자가산부식형 (self-etching primer system) 접착제는 기존의 접착제와 다른 성분으로 인해 치아미백제에 의한 영향에 대해 잘 알려져 있지 않은 상태이다. 이에 본 실험에서는 미백술을 시행한 법랑질 상에서 서로 다른 세 가지의 접착 시스템을 이용하여 미백술 후의 지연 시간이 결합력에 미치는 영향을 비교하고자 하였다. 발거한 대구치 68개를 물기가 있는 상태에서 근원심으로 절단하고 치관부를 자가중합 레진에 식립하여 시편을 제작하였다. 세 가지 접착제로 $One-step^{\circledR}$, Clearfil SE Bond $primer^{\circledR}$, One-up Bond $F^{\circledR}$를 이용하였다. 각 접착제를 미백을 시행하지 않는 대조군과 미백 시행 후 바로 접착한 즉시 접착군, 그리고 2주간 생리식염수에 보관한 후에 접착한 지연군으로 나누어 총 9개의 실험군으로 나누었다. 접착제를 처리한 면에 Clearfil $AP-X^{\circledR}$ 복합레진을 2mm충전하고, 40초간 광중합을 시행하였다. 24시간 후 전단접착강도를 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. $One-step^{\circledR}$의 경우, 즉시 접착군에서 지연 접착군보다 유의성 있게 낮은 접착강도를 나타내었다. Clearfil SE $Bond^{\circledR}$의 경우, 즉시 접착군과 미백을 시행하지 않은 군간에는 접착 강도에 유의한 차가 없었으나,지연접착군에서는 낮은 강도를 나타내었다. One-Up Bond F$^{\circledR}$의 경우, 즉시 접착군에서 유의성 있게 낮은 전단접착강도를 나타내었고, 전반적인 접착 강도가 다른 두 접착제에 비해서 유의성 있게 낮은 값을 보였다. $One-step^{\circledR}$을 사용할 경우 지연접착을 하는 것이 추천되며, Clearfil SE Bond$^{\circledR}$의 경우에는 즉시 접착을 시행하더라도 영향을 적게 받는 것으로 나타났으며, One-Up Bond $F^{\circledR}$의 경우 미백술 후 접착수복 과정에 사용에 제한이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
