This study is foundation study to understand the Location and the composition of Joseon Royal Tombs, the purpose is to bring light on the types of Sinro Eoro in Joseon Royal Tombs. The type was grouped into Regular type and Irregular type by relations with the approach way, Hongsalmun and Jeongjagak, and the Irregular type was grouped into Curved type and Divided type. The making pattern of Sinro Eoro was divided into three period, the former period, the transition period and the latter period, by the length and the Irregular type. The Regular type was affected by the length of Geonwonreung's Sinro Eoro as the minimum standard in the former period. The result of examining the Irregular type's present condition in Jeongreung, Hyeonreung, Mokreung, Jangreung and Yeongreung, narrow topograph and the waterway were important factors to decide the type. In other words, the type of Irregular Sinro Eoro was constructed by a topography and a waterway in the length of Geonwonreung's Sinro Eoro as the minimum standard.

With the possibility of preventing crime through environmental design, CPTED guidelines have been introduced and applied to various places. However, although guidelines may be a useful design tool, there are also limitations to referencing it in the early conceptual phase of school architecture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the concept of "prospect and refuge", which serves as the basis of CPTED, and derives architectural characteristics and application methods based on the concept. For the case study, this research selected six small to medium-scale elementary schools with outstanding creative ideas built within the last 10 years. The results showed that the spatial characteristics of the "prospect" can be achieved by organizing the three-dimensionality of the space, vista prospect, and design attention on circulation areas. The concept of "refuge" was realized through the segmentation of the mass and spatial enclosure. Although the subjects had different social conditions and educational directions in Korea, this study may be used as a theoretical framework for designing a safe school environment.

The length, the frequency, and the methods of surveillance for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas are still debating. According to the recent guidelines, IPMN is stratified into "high-risk stigmata" or absolute indication and "worrisome features" or relative indication as a guide in managing these patients, either those with resection of the lesion or those under surveillance. The risk of malignant transformation was quite low for branch duct-IPMNs without worrisome features or high risk stigmata. However, because the incidence rate of pancreatic cancer in these patients increase linearly with time, continued long-term surveillance is therefore important for patients with low-risk, as well as higher-risk, IPMN. Considering the high prevalence of malignancy, main duct-IPMN should be treated by surgical resection. Among patients with these type IPMNs, segmental dilatation of the main pancreatic duct without any mural nodules and larger than 10 mm of main pancreatic duct might not be immediately resected and need very careful examination and observation. The risk related to a major pancreatic resection must balance the risk of surveillance in patients with IPMN of the pancreas who have co-morbidity and are elderly.

최근 MPEG-I 그룹에서는 표준화가 진행중인 몰입형 미디어(Immersive Media)에 대한 압축 성능 탐색이 이루어지고 있다. 몰입형 비디오는 다수의 시점 영상과 깊이 맵을 통한 깊이 맵 기반 이미지 렌더링(DIBR)을 바탕으로 제한적 6DoF 을 제공하고자 하는 기술이다. 현재 MIV(Model for Immersive Video) 기술에서는 바탕 시점(Basic View)과 각 시점의 고유한 영상 정보를 패치 단위로 모아둔 추가 시점(Additional View)으로 처리하는 모델을 채택하고 있다. 그 중에서 추가 시점은 일반적인 영상과는 달리 시간적/공간적 상관성이 떨어지는 분절적인 형태로 이루어져 있어 비디오 인코더에 대해 최적화가 되어 있지 않으며, 처리 방법의 특성에 따라 자기 유사적인 형태를 지니게 된다. 따라서 MIV 에서 스크린 콘텐츠 코딩 성능과 함께 화면 내 블록 카피(IBC: intra block copy) 기술에 대한 성능을 분석 결과를 제시한다. IBC 미적용 대비 최대 7.56%의 Y-PSNR BD-rate 감소가 가능함을 확인하였으며, 영상의 특성에 따라 IBC 의 선택 비율을 확인하여 추가 시점의 효율적인 압축 형태를 고찰한다.

As survival rate of patients in osteosarcoma improves, both patients and surgeons are increasingly interested in long-term functional outcome. For resection and reconstruction of tumors on either side of knee joint, if feasible, conservation of normal joint apparatus seems preferable method over use of tumor prosthesis. However, we should not trade off the sound surgical margin with expected functional gain. We report one case of osteosarcoma who was treated by wide, intercalary resection and reconstruction with autogenous pasteurized bone but, showed local recurrence at 44 months postoperatively.

In order to present the geometrically nonlinear F.E. formulation of space frames, two beam/column elements including the effects of transverse shear deformation and bending stretching coupling are developed. In the case of the first element (Finite segment method), the tangent stiffness matrices are derived by directly integrating the equilibrium equations, whereas in the case of the second element (Finite element method) elastic and geometric stiffness matrices are calculated by using the hermitian polynomials including shear deformation effect as the shape function. Both elements possess the usual twelve degrees of freedom. Also, the bowing function including shear deformation effects is obtained in order to account for the effect of shortening of member chord length due to the bending and torsional behavior. Numerical results are presented for the selected test problems which demonstrate that both elements represent reliable and highly accurate tools.

This paper studies the behavior of joints in steel-PSC (prestressed concrete) hybrid beams, which is necessary for the application of hybrid beams to spliced girder bridges, and proposes a new type of joint with improved construction convenience and structural behavior. In the proposed joint, perfobond rib shear connectors are attached to the upper and lower plates, which are expanded from the steel girders and located between the steel girder and the PSC girder. The experimental tests were performed on hybrid beams with the suggested joint. The results showed that all the beams had similar ultimate strengths and failure modes, due to the failure of their PSC parts. The composite action of the perfobond ribs was verified by examining the initial stiffness and cracks of the test beams. In addition, the test beams showed a higher degree of ultimate strength than the beams with stud shear connectors in the joints that had been previously studied. Thus, the proposed joint is effective for the steel-PSC hybrid beam.

Wolf's isotopic response is defined as the occurrence of a new skin disorder at the site of another unrelated skin disease that has already healed. In most cases of isotopic response, the initial dermatosis is herpes infection, and the most frequent second dermatoses are granulomatous reactions. Various interpretations of this phenomenon have been attempted. However, the exact mechanism has not been identified yet. Herein, we report a case in which the secondary disease was segmental vitiligo that appeared over the same dermatomes of herpes zoster. A 71-year-old woman presented with well-defined, depigmented patches on the left chest and back. She had been diagnosed with herpes zoster on the same dermatomes and treated with an antiviral agent 3 years ago. Histological examination showed decreased basal melanin pigments and melanocytes. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with segmental vitiligo based on the clinical and histological findings.

Prostate cancer is the most predominant cancer in men and related death rate increases every year. Till date, there is no effective therapy for androgen independent prostate cancer. To investigate the mechanism for cell growth inhibition or apoptosis in human androgen independent prostate cancer PC-3 cells after gamma irradiation. The aim of this study was to examine the potential of gamma irradiation to induce apoptosis in PC-3 cells and to assess the mechanism of gamma irradiation-induced apoptosis. Five different assays were employed in this study: cell proliferation assay, morphological assessments of apoptotic cells, DNA fragmentation analysis, quantification of apoptosis by annexin V (AV) and propidium iodide (PI) staning, and western blot analysis. Cell viability was inversely related to radiation dose. DAPI-positive cells were detected 48 hr after 40 Gy radiation exposure. And nuclear morphological changes of cells were observed by gamma irradiation. DNA ladder patterns in the cells exposed to gamma-radiation were appeared at 24 hr. Also, gamma irradiation induces apoptosis of PC-3 cells via Caspase3, Bax and PARP-dependent fashion.

The persistent primitive olfactory artery (PPOA) is a rare variant of the anterior cerebral artery, first reported in 1979. It reportedly has a high correlation with the development of aneurysms, owing to the hemodynamic stress induced by the structural characteristics of the hairpin turn. Herein, we present a rare case of PPOA type 4 with a fusiform aneurysm at the hairpin turn segment in a 46-year-old female with occasional headaches. Time-of-flight MR angiography and transfemoral cerebral angiography revealed an unusual branch arising from the left A1 segment, running anteromedially along the ipsilateral olfactory tract, and turning the hairpin posterior to the olfactory bulb. This branch continued into the left accessory middle cerebral artery, and a fusiform aneurysm was observed at the hairpin segment. No further treatment was performed, and follow-up imaging was recommended. Nevertheless, it is essential to recognize and diagnose these rare variations.
