The purpose of three-dimensional (3-D) metal printing using 5-axis is to deposit metal powder by changing the orientation of the deposited structure to be built for the overhang or undercut feature on part geometry. This requires a complicated preprocess functionality of providing three dimensionally sliced layers to cover the required part geometry. This study addresses the overhang/undercut problem in 3-D metal printing and discusses a possible solution of providing 3-D layers to be built using the DMT(R) machine.

본 기술은 암반사면 보강공법에서 철근보강재인 네일(Nail)에 원추형콘(철근 규격에 따라 기울기 $19~23^{\circ}$, 높이 40~45mm, 아랫변 65~70mm)을 일정한 간격으로 다수 장착하여 그라우트재와 원 지반까지 방사입체형으로 힘을 미치게 하는 암반사면 보강공법이다. 본 신기술 공법은 네일링 공사 시 원추형 콘을 장착, 삽입함으로서 부착력과 인발력을 증가시켜 비탈면 보강공사 시에 안전성을 높인 공법이다. 따라서 네일링공법을 사면붕괴 방지공사에 적극 활용할 수 있으므로 네일링 공법의 사용을 활성화 하며, 지진이나 지반변형 등 외력에 의한 사면붕괴를 사전에 방지할 수 있어 사면재해를 미연에 방지하는 효과가 있다. 또한 현재가지 네일링공법은 인발톤수가 적고 네일에 대한 신빙성 결여로 아주 적은 인발톤수를 필요로 하는 현장이외에는 사용을 기피하는 일이 많았다. 그러나 본 원추형 콘네일 공법은 어스앙카, 록앵커, 보강토공법, 지지말뚝공법, 옹벽 등에 대한 대체공법으로 이용할 수 있는 여건이 충족됨으로 사면보강재로서의 사용 확산이 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose an automatic segmentation method of the endo- and epicardial boundary by using ray-casting profile based on intensity distribution and gradient information in CT images. First, endo-cardial boundary points are detected by using adaptive thresholding and seeded region growing. To include papillary muscles inside the boundary, the endo-cardial boundary points are refined by using ray-casting based profile. Second, epi-cardial boundary points which have both a myocardial intensity value and a maximum gradient are detected by using ray-casting based adaptive gradient profile. Finally, to preserve an elliptical or circular shape, the endo- and epi-cardial boundary points are refined by using elliptical interpolation and B-spline curve fitting. Then, curvature-based contour fitting is performed to overcome problems associated with heterogeneity of the myocardium intensity and lack of clear delineation between myocardium and adjacent anatomic structures. To evaluate our method, we performed visual inspection, accuracy and processing time. For accuracy evaluation, average distance difference and overalpping region ratio between automatic segmentation and manual segmentation are calculated. Experimental results show that the average distnace difference was $0.56{\pm}0.24mm$. The overlapping region ratio was $82{\pm}4.2%$ on average. In all experimental datasets, the whole process of our method was finished within 1 second.

In This study, we examined the gap between supply and demand of forest policy by year through big data analysis for macroscopic evaluation of the 5th Basic Forest Plan. We collected unstructured data based on keywords related to the projects mentioned in the news, SNS and so on in the relevant year for the policy demand side; and based on the documents published by the Korea Forest Service for the policy supply side. based on the collected data, we specified the network structure through the social network analysis technique, and identified the gap between supply and demand of the Korea Forest Service's policies by comparing the network of the demand side and that of the supply side. The results of big data analysis indicated that the network of the supply side is less radial than that of the demand side, implying that various keywords other than forest could considerably influence on the network. Also we compared the trends of supply and demand for 33 keywords related to 27 major projects. The results showed that 7 keywords shows increasing demand but decreasing supply: sustainable, forest management, forest biota, forest protection, forest disease and pest, urban forest, and North Korea. Since the supply-demand gap is confirmed for the 7 keywords, it is necessary to strengthen the forest policy regarding the 7 keywords in the 6th Basic Plan.

To investigate the combined effect of radiation and pesticide on Tradescantia somatic cell mutations, potted plants of Tradescantia 4430 on which parathion had been sprayed evenly 24 hours before irradiation. Radiation doses were 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 Gy of gamma-ray. The plants irradiated only with the gamma-ray radiation were used as control groups (CT). Pink mutation frequency increased linearly proportional to the radiation dose and the peak interval of elevated mutation frequencies appeared during 7 ~ 11 days after irradiation in both CT and Pa +${\gamma}$ groups. The slope of dose -response curve in CT was 5.99 ($r^2$= 0.988), while it was 3.43 (r$x^-2$=0.981) in Pa+${\gamma}$. It seemed that parathion pretreatment had a protective effect against radiation-induced cell damages since it decreased the slope value by 43%. It is suggested that an adaptive response or radiomodification could be induced in irradiated stamen hair cells by parathion pretreatment.

Background: When we define the pressure of pulmonary vasculature in which a recruitment of blood flow occurs as $P_I$ and the proportion of change in pulmonary artery to that in cardiac output as IR and then we compare PI and IR with pulmonary vascular resistance, we would find some problems in pulmonary vascular resistance. In other words, it is the theory that, IR should be increased mainly in pulmonary embolism in which decreases the cross sectional area of pulmonary vasculature. But there are many contradictory reports resulted from various researches and the fact is known widely that any difference exists between PVR and PI, IR. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to observe how PI and IR change at the time of the outbreak and during treatment of the pulmonary embolism, and to find out the meaning of these new indicators and the difference from the pulmonary vascular resistance used generally when we subdivide the pulmonary vascular resistance into PI and IR. Method: After making AV fistula in experimental dog, we controlled cardiac output at the intervals of 15 minute in case of three kinds(all AV fistula are obstructed, only one of fistula is open and all of fistula is open), and after evoking massive pulmonary embolism with radioactive autologous blood clots, we measured the mean pulmonary artery pressure, and calculated PI and IR. We observed the pattern of change in PI and IR, without giving the control group any specific treatment and with injecting intravenously rtPA in the Group 1 and Group 2 at the dose of 1mg per kg, for 15 minutes fot the former and 3 hours for the latter. Result: 1) Pulmonary vascular resistance showed a change similar to that of pulmonary artery pressure and in all three group, PVR increased significantly, but group 1 and group 2 showed tendency that PVR keeps on decreasing after treatment, and the rate of decrease in group 1 is more rapid than group 2 significantly. 2) Both intersection(PI) and degree(IR) are proved statistically significant, in view of the straight line relationship between cardiac output and pulmonary artery pressure, calculated by minimal regression method. 3) PI changed similarly to pulmonary vascular resistance, while in the IR which is theoretically more similar to PVR, there was no significant difference or change after rtPA infusion. Conclusion: In the pulmonary embolism, Both change in IR which means real resistance of pulmonary vasculature and PI which was developed due to secondary vasoconstriction by pulmonary embolism are reflected same time.
