The aim of this study was to examine fluid excretions and changes in deceased bodies depending on type, location of, and causes of death for hygienic management of funeral homes. Based on the 858 cadavers studied, the average age at the time of death is 68.6 years, 83.0% had illness as the cause of death, and 79.5% passed away in a medical facility. Fluid excretion was observed in 46.2% of the cadavers. In manner of death, 78.8% of deaths -highest percentage- was due to an accident and 10.8% of deaths - lowest percentage- was due to age. Fluid excretion was observed in 46.3% of cadavers from medical facilities, 38.6% of cadavers from homes and 77.4% of cadavers from miscellaneous locations. There were various number of cadavers with recorded immediate, secondary and underlying cause of death; however, the fluid excretion rate was similar. In analyzing the immediate, secondary and underlying cause of death, respiratory and heart disease were the most common causes of death in categories of body organ and system. In terms of fluid excretion, liver disease followed by digestive and circulatory diseases were most common in immediate cause of death. Accidents and miscellaneous circumstances were most common amongst secondary and underlying causes of death for cadavers with fluid excretion. Based on the recorded illnesses of the cadavers, cardiopulmonary failure was most common as evident in 96 cadavers followed by pneumonia and sepsis. Cholangiocarcinoma (73.3%) had the highest rate of fluid excretion followed by pancreatic cancer, severe brain injury and liver cancer amongst categories of illnesses with more than 15 cadavers.

This Research is focused on ancient battle formation basing on the layout drawing of Yijinchongbang (manuals of learning military formations) in a strategy book in the late Joseon dynasty. The research topic is the principles of organic composition of battle formation and battlefield operating system by reforming the basic model of ancient battle formation. The research method is comparative analysis by reforming the battlefield operating system of types of disposition such as Obangjindisposition(Bangnjin; battle formation, Jikjin; direct battle formation, Gokjin; bend battle formation, Wonjin; round battle formation, and Yejin; keen battle formation), and Hyunmoojindo; turtle battle formation, Paljindo; all-rounder battle formation, Yookhwajindo; six flowers battle formation, Gugunjindo; nine forms battle formation. From the study results, Standoff Bombing of the battle formation in the late Joseon Dynasty basically started out from magic battle formation, but was then transformed into square, rectangle, pentagon, and circle. Also, the battle array composition used a 5-linear structure and was composed of 5 systems of circulation such as rectangle, square, diagonal, curve, and circle. The research findings elucidate the battlefield of the Joseon dynasty by establishing the real battle formation, and thus have military and academic value in suggesting possible tactics that can be used by modern training of military.

This purpose of this paper was to review the development trend of the VTOL MAVs with a ducted propellant that can fly like the VTOL at intermediate and high speeds, hovering, landing, and lifting off vertically over urban areas, warships, bridges, and mountainous terrains. The MAV differs in flight characteristics from helicopters and fixed wings in many respects. In addition to enhancing thrust, the duct protects personnel from accidental contact with the spinning rotor. The purpose of the U.S. Army FCS and DARPA's OAV program is spurring development of a the VTOL ducted MAV. Today's MAVs are equipped with video/infrared cameras to hover-and-stare at enemies hidden behind forests and hills for approximately one hour surveillance and reconnaissance. Class-I is a VTOL ducted MAV developed in size and weight that individual soldiers can store in their backpacks. Class-II is the development of an organic VTOL ducted fan MAV with twice the operating time and a wider range of flight than Class-I. MAVs will need to develop to perch-and-stare technology for lengthy operation on the current hover-and-stare. The near future OAV's concept is to expand its mission capability and efficiency with a joint operation that automatically lifts-off, lands, refuels, and recharges on the vehicle's landing pad while the manned-unmanned ground vehicle is in operation. A ducted MAV needs the development of highly accurate relative position technology using low cost and small GPS for automatic lift-off and landing on the landing pad. There is also a need to develop a common command and control architecture that enables the cooperative operation of organisms between a VTOL ducted MAV and a manned-unmanned ground vehicle.

Objectives The aim of this study was to find out the psychological changes associated with internet addiction between before and after the military drill among the young male army recruits. Methods All 1091 participants were army recruits aged from 19 to 22 years who participated in the 5-week military drill. They were assessed with some self-reported questionnaires [Sociodemographic questionnaires, Young's Internet Addiction Scale (IAS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Rated Scale (ASRS)]. They were divided into two groups, One is the internet addiction tendency group and the other is non-addiction group according to the IAS score. And the severity of the internet addiction tendency, depression, anxiety and impulsiveness were evaluated by the IAS, the STAI, the BDI, the BIS, the ASRS before and after military drill. Results The result of the paired t-test shows that the IAS, the STAI, the BDI, the BIS, the ASRS scores decreased after military drill in both non-addiction group and internet addiction tendency group. The result of the repeated measures ANOVA shows that there is an interaction effect between the changes of ASRS-hyperactivity (F = 23.437, p < 0.001), ASRS-impulsiveness (F = 4.896, p = 0.027), BIS-total (F = 4.057, p = 0.044), BIS-motor impulsiveness (F = 13.609, p < 0.001) scores and groups. The result of the generalized estimating equation shows that internet addiction tendency is associated with ASRS-inattention (${\beta}=0.075$, p < 0.001), ASRS-hyperactivity (${\beta}=0.092$, p = 0.002), STAI-trait anxiety (${\beta}=0.046$, p < 0.001), BIS-motor impulsiveness (${\beta}=0.119$, p = 0.028). Conclusions The results show that psychopathologies such as internet addiction tendency, depression, anxiety, impulsiveness may improve after military drill regardless of the groups. Internet addiction tendency may be related to the ASRS-inattention, ASRS-hyperactivity, STAI-trait anxiety, motor-impulsiveness. So these findings may be considered in the treatment of internet addiction in terms of the impulsiveness control.

Since a soldier manages a hand-held landmine detector by hands, it is necessary to develop a system that can detect the target quickly and accurately. However, the hand-held landmine detector used in Korea has a problem that it can only detect the metal mines. Therefore, it is important to solve the problem and to develop a hand-held landmine detection system suitable for the Korean environment. In this paper, we propose a hand-held landmine detection system suitable for the Korean environment using ground penetrating radar. The proposed system uses depth compensation, matched filtering, and frequency shifting filtering for preprocessing. Then, in the detection step, the system detects the target using the edge ratio. In order to evaluate the proposed system, we buried landmines in sandy loam which is most of the soil in Korea and obtained a set of ground penetrating radar data by using a hand-held landmine detector. By using the obtained data, we carried out some experiments on the size and position of the patch and the shifting frequency to find the optimal parameter values and measured the detection performance using the optimized values. Experimental results show that the proposed preprocessing algorithms are suitable for detecting all landmines at low false alarm rate and the performance of the proposed system is superior to that of previous works.

The Korean military is having difficulty maintaining combat power due to the insufficient troop numbers caused by a demographic cliff and the reduction of the mandatory military service period. Recently, discussions on improving the military training system have increased significantly. This paper proposes an optimization model to establish military training schedules to improve combat power. The oblivion and learning effects on training tasks were quantified through a survey and applied to the model. The objective value, combat power, was calculated based on the total task scores of the unit members and the number of task failures after four weeks. The scenarios were configured by the change in educational conditions and initial scores of some tasks. As a result of scenario experiments, combat power has increased by at least 10% and up to 77%, which is sufficient to maintain combat power considering the change in troops. In addition, the planning of combat skill tasks has a significant impact on combat power. Through this research model, it is expected that military training managers will be able to establish a training schedule that maintains or improves the combat power of troops effectively.

For the control of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum entomopathogenic fungi were isolated from forest soils and infected insects. We selected three strains, which showed high pathogenicity and named as SFB-582(Beauveria sp.), SFP-198(Paecilomyces fumosoroseus) and SFV-1053(Verticillium sp.) respectively. Particularly, at the concentration of $10^{7}$ conidia/ml, P. fumosoroseus SFP-198 had the highest pathogenicity, $91.4{\pm}3.5%$ in laboratory. In glasshouse application, $91.4{\pm}3.5%$ SFP-198 showed high protective values($80{\sim}90%$) regardless of developmental stages, which were similar with that of Verticillium lecanii F-903 already reported. Four kinds of formulations of entomopathogenic fungi were developed, formulation with surfactant Silwet L-77 gave best control of greenhouse whitefly(over 90%). These results suggest that P. fumosoroseus SFP-198 is a promising candidate as a microbial pesticide for the control of T. vaporariorum.

백혈병은 조혈계통의 악성 증식성 질환으로서 현재까지 주로 화학약물요법에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 화학약물요법은 백혈병 세포를 소멸시킬 수 있지만 또한 인체에 여러 가지 독성 반응 및 부작용을 일으키기도 한다. 따라서 중서의결합으로 백혈병 치료에 접근하는 것은 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 중의학에서 소아 백혈병을 치료하는 경우 청열해독법(淸熱解毒法), 부정보허법(扶正補虛法), 활혈화어법(活血化瘀法)을 주로 사용한다. 청열해독법은 백혈병의 조기치료에 주로 활용되는데, 인체의 저항력을 증강시켜 화학약물요법을 실시하는 동안 흔히 나타날 수 있는 감염증상을 예방하는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 부정보허법(扶正補虛法)은 주로 화학약물요법의 유도 완화기 및 치료효과의 유지를 위하여 활용되는데, 이는 인체의 면역력을 향상시켜 화학약물요법이 인체에 미치는 손상을 경감시킬 수 있다. 활혈화어법(活血化瘀法)은 미세순환을 개선시키는 작용을 하며 골수의 조혈기능을 촉진하고 면역기능을 조절하며 또한 일부 활혈화어제(活血化瘀劑)는 백혈병 세포에 직접적인 억제효과를 보인다. 소아백혈병에 대하여 화학약물요법을 진행하는 동안 중약을 같이 병행하는 경우 다음과 같은 과정으로 나누어 실시할 수 있다. 1. 유도완화치료(화학요법)단계: 이와 같은 치료과정은 대개 화학약물요법으로 인한 극심한 독성반응이나 주작용을 나타내게 되는데, 이 과정에서 중약치료를 병행하면 신속하게 증상을 개선시킬 수 있다. 만약 구토나 설사와 같은 소화계 부작용이 나타나면 화위강역법(和胃降逆法)을 활용하고, 감염 증상이 나타나면 부정(扶正)과 거사법(祛邪法)을 병행할 수 있다. 화학약물요법을 진행한 후 신체가 극도로 허약해지고 골수의 기능이 심하게 억제되는 경우는 주로 부정(扶正)시키는 중약을 사용하면서 익기양혈제(益氣養血劑)를 곁들이고 보조적으로 단삼(丹蔘), 당귀(當歸), 천궁(川芎), 계혈등(鷄血藤) 등과 같은 활혈화어제(活血化瘀劑)를 사용하여 골수의 조혈기능을 회복시킨다. 2. 치료효과의 유지단계: 본 과정에서는 중약치료에 있어서 부정(扶正)과 거사법(祛邪法)을 병행한다. 화학약물요법을 실시하는 동시에 거사제(祛邪劑)를 중용(重用)함으로써 화학약물요법의 효과를 강화시킨다. 화학약물요법이 끝난 뒤 부정(扶正)시키는 약물을 중용(重用)하여 인체의 면역기능을 증강시키고 백혈병세포를 억제시킨다. 3. 치료효과의 유지 및 강화단계: 치료효과의 유지단계에서는 변증논치(辨證論治)의 원칙에 입각하여 항암효과가 있는 중약을 활용할 수 있는데, 예를 들어 백화사설초(白花蛇舌草), 산자고(山慈?), 청대(靑黛), 용규(龍葵) 등을 사용할 수 있고, 육신환(六神丸)을 장기적으로 복용하여도 된다. 소아백혈병 치료에 있어서 중서의결합의 치료법을 활용하는 경우 다음과 같은 내용에 주안점을 둘 수 있다. 화학약물요법을 진행하는 과정에서 중약을 병행하여 투여하는 경우 사진합삼(四診合參)을 근간으로 종합적인 분석을 통하여 병인(病因)을 살피어 치료에 임하도록 한다. 약물의 선택과 처방의 구성은 반드시 변증논치(辨證論治)의 원칙하에 이루어져야 한다. 화학약물요법과 중약치료를 병행하는 과정에서 변증(辨證)과 변병(辨病)이 서로 결합되고 부정(扶正)과 거사법(祛邪法)을 병행하여 활용한다. 정체관(整體觀)에서 출발하여 환자를 관찰하는 동시에 특징적인 증후(證候)에 대한 변증논치(辨證論治)도 중요하며, 또한 백혈병 환자의 유형(類型)이나 임상 혈액검사 소견, 골수의 양상, 화학요법의 진행단계 및 환자의 연령과 체질 등을 충분히 가만하여 종합적인 분석을 토대로 치료법을 선택하여야 중약요법과 화학약물요법의 협동적인 효과를 증폭시키고 백혈병치료에 새로운 전기를 마련할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The new-type rangefinder, which is using the biprism principle, is introduced to develop the range finder which can be easily carried by soldiers, and in order to realize those technologies specifically, we try to develop a scope for military rangefinder by doing optical design which can secure enough space to move the biprism. Methods: After setting up the verious initial condition to realize two kinds of goals, that are the securement of enough space to move the biprism and the easy-exchangeability of two kinds of biprisms, and then the optical system was optimized by using optical design program CodeV in order to minimize the finite ray aberrations. Results: We designed the biprism housing to makes it possible to swap the two kinds of biprisms. It was appeared that the Schmidt prism is suitable as erecting prism which can make sure the space to move the biprism. 16.5 mm was good for the face length of Schmidt prism. The optical system with a Schmidt prism and a biprism was designed, and the finite ray aberrations was minimized. Conclusions: We developed a 5X scope for an optical rangefinder using a biprism and a Schmidt prism with 16.5 mm face length. This scope is valid for the optical system which has the effective field angle of ${\pm}3.6^{\circ}$, and the finite ray aberrations are well controlled within the ${\pm}8.95^{\prime}$.

Morphological analysis is the most widely used method for extracting nouns from Korean texts. For every Eojeol, in order to extract nouns from it, a morphological analyzer performs frequent dictionary lookup and applies many morphonological rules, therefore it requires many operations. Moreover, a morphological analyzer generates all the possible morphological interpretations (sequences of morphemes) of a given Eojeol, which may by unnecessary from the noun extraction`s point of view. To reduce unnecessary computation of morphological analysis from the noun extraction`s point of view, this paper proposes a method for Korean noun extraction considering noun occurrence characteristics. Noun patterns denote conditions on which nouns are included in an Eojeol or not, which are positive cues or negative cues, respectively. When using the exclusive information as the negative cues, it is possible to reduce the search space of morphological analysis by ignoring Eojeols not including nouns. Post-noun syllable sequences(PNSS) as the positive cues can simply extract nouns by checking the part of the Eojeol preceding the PNSS and can guess unknown nouns. In addition, morphonological information is used instead of many morphonological rules in order to recover the lexical form from its altered surface form. Experimental results show that the proposed method can speed up without losing accuracy compared with other systems based on morphological analysis.
