The differentiation between malignancy-related ascites(MRA) and non-malignant ascites (NMA) is important for further diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Although many parameters were investigated, none has provided a complete distinction between MRA and NMA. We investigated several ascitic fluid parameters to determine the differential power, and to differentiate malignant-related from nonmalignant-related ascites with a sequence of sensitive parameters followed by specific parameters. For the present study, 80 patients with ascites were divided into two groups: MRA and NMA, The MRA group was consisted of 27 patients with proven malignancy by image study, biopsy, and follow up: 21 of these patients had peritoneal carcinomatosis, but the remaining 6 showed no evidence of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The NMA group was consisted of 53 patients with no evidence of malignancy: among these patients, one had SLE, and others had liver cirrhosis, The samples of blood and ascites were obtained simultaneously, and then the levels of ascites cholesterol, CEA. protein and LDH, cytology, albumin gradient, ascites/serum concen-tration ratios of LDH(LDH A/S), and ascites/serum concentration ratios of protein(protein A/S) were measured. Applying cut-off limits for determined parameters, we estimated the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter, Among the eight parameters investigated, ascites fluid cholesterol yielded the best sensitive value of 93%(cut-off value 30mg/dl), and cytologic examination and the protein A/S(cut-off value 0.5) showed the most specific value of 100% and 96%, respectively. Based on the above results, the diagnostic sequence with cholesterol as a sensitive parameter followed by the combination of cytologic examination and protein A/S as specific parameters, was tested in 80 patients. This diagnostic sequence identified 81.5% of patients with malignancy, and all patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis were classified as malignancy-related ascites. In spite of many limitations, this proposed diagnostic sequence may permit a cost-effective and simple differentiation of malignancy-related ascites from nonmalignant ascites.

<복수는 나의 것>, <올드 보이>, <친절한 금자씨>는 죄와 복수, 구원의 문제를 다룬 박찬욱 감독의 복수 삼부작으로서, 보이스 오버를 활용한다는 공통점이 있다. 이 연구는 박찬욱 감독의 복수 삼부작이 각 내러티브의 주제에 따라 내러티브 정보를 통제하고 관객의 심리적 거리감을 조절하기 위해 보이스오버 전략을 어떻게 구사하는지 논의한다. 이를 위해 각 작품의 플롯, 초점화 유형, 보이스오버의 특징들을 분석한 결과, 보이스오버를 통해 관객의 정서적 참조점을 형성하고, 인물과 이야기에 대한 동일시나 감정이입을 통제하는 복수 삼부작의 특성을 확인하였다.

In order to generalize theory of series in Iksan(翼算), we introduce a concept of double sequence of partial sums and elementary double sequence of partial sums, which play a dominant role in the study of double sequences of partial sums. We introduce a concept of finitely generated double sequence of partial sums and find a necessary and sufficient condition for those double sequences. Finally we prove a multiplication theorem for tetrahedral numbers and for 4 dimensional tetrahedral numbers.

Internet worms have been the major Internet threats may disclose important information and can bring about faults of computer systems, which spread with the fastest speed among malicious codes. Simultaneously spreading multiple worms and its variants are revealing the limitation of conventional responses based on single worms. In order to defend them effectively, it is necessary to study how multiple worms propagate and what factors affect worm spreading. In this paper, we improve the existed single worm spreading models and try to describe the correct spreads of multiple worms. Thus we analyze the spreading effects of multiple worms and its variants by various experiments.

실시간 유비쿼터스 환경의 규모성 향상을 위하여 각 처리 단계에 복수의 자원이 투입될 수 있다. 각 처리 단계에 복수의 자원이 배정되면 처리 단계 내에서 병렬로 처리되는 센서 데이터가 증가하기 때문에 후행 센서 데이터는 선행 센서 데이터의 처리 종료를 반드시 기다릴 필요가 없게 된다. 처리 과정이 서로 독립적인 센서 데이터들이 발생하면 후행 센서 데이터의 대기시간은 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 복수의 자원이 사용 가능 할 때 후행 센서 데이터의 대기시간을 산출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 실험을통하여 센서데이터의증가가 대기시간 감소에얼마나 영향을 줄수 있는지를 알아보았다. 실험을 통해 얻어진 결과는 자원이 개수를 2배 증가시키면 대기시간의 감소는 2배 이상이라는 것이다. 복수의 자원을 각 처리 단계에서 센서데이터에 할당하는 방법에 따라 실험을 수행하였다. 첫 번째는 순차적으로 센서 데이터에게 자원을 할당하는 방법이고 두 번째는 자원이 처리해야 할 센서데이터 처리시간 합이 균등하도록 할당하는 방법이다. 두 가지 방법에 대한 실험으로 얻어진 결과는 자원을 할당함에 있어서 순차적으로 할당하는 것보다는 처리 시간 합이 균등하도록 자원을 할당하는 것이 대기시간 감소에 효과적이었다.

The author co-citation analysis is generally based on the frequency of the first author because most citation databases include only the first author in the bibliographic information. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to provide a better knowledge structure by utilizing the multiple authorship of author co-citation analysis. To achieve the purpose of this study, four different data sets are prepared: (1) counting the first author, (2) counting all the author without limiting the total frequency, (3) counting all the author with limiting the total frequency, and (4) counting adjusted frequencies based on the order of author subscription. The findings of this study show that there are clear differences between the knowledge structure counting all the author and the one counting only the first author. In addition, depending on the different methods, there are subtle changes of cluster members for authors.

DNA sequences of nrITS regions obtained from 49 accessions representing 12 species and one variety within the section Adonanthe of the genus Adonis were analyzed to test the previous intra-sectional classification system and to determine their phylogenetic relationships. The results showed that the seven accessions of A. amurensis Regel et Radde included in the present study did not form a monophyletic group, as some of the accessions showed a close relationship with the Japanese endemic species A. ramosa Franch., which implies that the current species delimitation and identification of A. amurensis is problematic. Adonis pseudoamurensis W. T. Wang, which is frequently misidentified as A. ramosa in Korea, formed a segregated group, which suggests that they should not be considered as conspecific taxa. Accessions from A. shikokuensis Nishikawa et Koji Ito, A. multiflora Nishikawa et Koji Ito, and A. pseudoamurensis formed a clade, but monophyly of each species was not evident. The nrITS data did not support the classification system proposed by Wang, who classified sect. Adonanthe into four series, as most of these were found to be either polyphyletic or paraphyletic.

Fatigure crack growth from surface defects is one of the most important subjects for the evaluation and the assurance of safety in pressure vessels, piping systems, ship hulls and other various structures. This paper attempts to analysis some practical or general problems such as the estimation of crack growth life to penetrate the plate thickness, based on fatigure crack growth from a single surface flaw and the interaction of multiple flaws. An experiment on the coalescence of multiple undercuts was carried out under cyclic tension condition as a attempt to the analysis of multiple crack problems. It is noted that the fracture strength is characterized by the analogy to that in a single crack growth.

The purpose of present study is to explore the mechanical behavior of anchorage zones in prestressed concrete members with single and closely-spaced multiple tendon anchorages. The cracking loads and local stress distributions at these anchorage zones are studied. To this end, a series of experiments have been conducted. From this study, it is found that the failure of anchorage zones of the closely-spaced multiple tendon members is initiated by cracking along the tendon path and that the tensile stresses arising in the vicinity of anchorage zone of the first tendon are reduced due to additional compression of the second tendon. This results in the increase of cracking capacity of the member. The effects of multiple tendons are presented in the form of strain distribution and cracking load comparisons.
