This study analyzed the preparation characteristics for old age of the baby boomers by the framework of the multi-pillar pension system. Analysis results are as follows. First, multi-pillar pension system's subscription rates of baby boomers was public pension 59%, private pension 11.5% and retirement pension 1.5%. The baby boomers isn't ready for old age life. Second, women and people with the low level of education are less prepared for old age. Third, people in a bad health state are less prepared for old age. Forth, low-income people are less prepared for old age. We must support baby boomers' preparations for old age by establishing income security system for old age. We must establish public pension support policy for the people of the low level of education and economic hierarchy, women, bad health status people, and must introduce universal old-age allowance policy for guaranteeing the minimum income of baby boomers.

In this paper, the BER performance of IEEE 802.11a OFDM WLAN system is obtained by simulation and it is shown that the proposed modified channel estimation algorithm improves the channel estimation performance of the system. The wireless channel used in channel simulation includes AWGN and delay spread channel implemented by TDL model. At first, the performance of OFDM WLAN system according to data rate and coding rate defined in standard is evaluated in AWGN channel. Then, imperfect channel estimation in indoor wireless channel is considered. After the performance of conventional channel estimation scheme using only two long training symbols is evaluated, and that of proposed modified channel estimation scheme using additional 8 short training symbol is compared with it. From the simulation results, it is shown that modified channel estimation scheme provides reduced channel estimation error and improves the channel estimation performance due to noise averaging effect with the same preamble format as defined in specification.

본 연구는 유기성폐기물을 처리하고 그것을 이용하여 고체연료 또는 퇴비를 생산하는 종합시스템에 관한 것이다. 유기성폐기물은 90% 전후의 높은 함수율을 나타내고 있기 때문에 처리에 중점을 두어야 할 부분이 수분 처리 방법이다. 따라서 기존의 처리방법으로는 고액분리하여 처리 후 하천에 방류하는 시스템에 의해 처리되고 있다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 기술개발의 차별화 및 선행기술의 회피 전략을 위해, 유기성폐기물의 수분을 건조시키는 방법으로 미생물이 유기성폐기물의 유기물을 분해하여 발생 되는 $80^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열에너지에 의해 수분을 제거하는 발열반응을 적용하여 수분을 제거하는 무방류시스 템이다. 뿐만 아니라 고체연료의 발열량을 높이기 위해서 무연탄, 코크스, 기름 등의 열량보조제를 첨 가하는 대신에 유기성폐기물을 첨가 한 후 적당한 발열반응 및 건조시켜 고체연료를 제조하는 방법으 로 4,000kcal/kg 이상의 높은 발열량을 얻을 수 있으며 불완전연소 등에 의한 2차 오염을 방지할 수 있는 기술이다. 따라서 친환경 미생물 발열반응에 의해 유기성폐기물을 저렴한 비용으로 액상 및 고상 을 동시에 처리 할 수 있으며, 고체연료를 제조할 수 있는 새로운 신기술이다.

Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO) of the mandible is an essential and commonly used procedure to correct dentofacial deformities and malocclusion. The possible complications associated with BSSRO include inferior alveolar nerve injury, bleeding, temporomandibular disorder, unfavorable fractures, and clinical relapse. The incidence of facial nerve palsy after orthognathic surgery recently reported is 0.1%. The probable etiologies have included facial nerve compression, complete or incomplete nerve transection, nerve traction, and nerve ischemia from anesthetic injection. Postoperative facial palsy is one of the most serious complications because it reduces the quality of life and significantly reduces social interaction. The case of a 24-year-old patient who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy is described. The medical records and postoperative photographs were reviewed in detail to collect information on the clinical course, treatment, and outcomes.

The resistance switching characteristics of amorphous $SiO_2$ and poly-crystalline $TiO_2$ were investigated. Both films exhibit well defined switching characteristics with low and high resistance states. From I-V curve analyses, it was found that the low resistance states of both films obey an ohmic conduction mechanism and the high resistance states show generation of a Schottky potential barrier. Regarding the mechanism for resistance switching of the binary oxide, it is suggested that the generation and annihilation of potential barriers accounts for the changes to the high resistance state and low resistance state, respectively. The device operation characteristic parameters such as reset and set voltages of $TiO_2$ are distinctly smaller than those of $SiO_2$, indicating that the values are related to the dielectric constant.

In the vacuum assisted RTM (VARTM) process that has become the center of attention for manufacturing massive composite structures, a good evacuation of air in the fiber preform is recognized as the prime factor. The microvoids, or the dry spots, are formed as a result of improper gate/vent locations and the mold geometry. The non-uniform resin velocity at the flow front leads to the formation of microvoids in the fibers, whereas the air in the microvoids can migrate along with the resin flow during mold filling. The residual air in the internal voids of a composite structure may cause a degradation of the mechanical properties as well as the structural failure. In this study, a unified macro- and micro analysis methods were developed to investigate the formation and transport of air in resin during VARTM process. A numerical simulation program was developed to analyze the three-dimensional flow pattern as well as the macro- and microscopic distribution of air in a composite part fabricated by VARTM process.

Purpose: Diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon aggressive synovial proliferative disorder of unknown etiology affecting the joint linings. Though a histologically benign inflammatory process, because of its aggressive growth with bone destruction or recurrence, it is frequently suggested to occur as a low malignant neoplasm. Optimal treatment is surgery, but the local recurrence rate after radical synovectomy for diffuse PVNS is relatively high due to the infiltrative growth pattern. External beam radiotherapy with moderate doses or intra-articular instillation of radioactive isotopes may improve the likelihood of local control and long-term function in patients with incompletely resected or recurrent diffuse PVNS. I report one case of diffuse PVNS of the right knee joint treated with arthroscopic synovectomy and external beam radiotherapy is presented.

To verify the utilization of biomass as energy, the combustion characteristic has been studied by an experimental combustion furnace under an isothermal and non-isothermal combustion. The wood pellet, rice straw and rice husk were used as biomass samples in this work. The characteristics of emission gases, dusts and residues from biomass combustion have been analyzed and compared with those of reuse derived fuel (RDF). From isothermal combustion experiments, it was found that the incomplete combustion of rice straw was greater that that of rice husk, wood pellet and RDF. This is due to the fact that the combustion reaction rate of the rice straw was faster than that of other samples, and the oxygen concentration in rice straw combustion was rapidly decreasing. It was also found that $NO_{X}$ concentration of emission gas from wood pellet combustion was the lowest. From non-isothermal combustion experiments, it was found that all samples were burned before $900^{\circ}C$. Also, the temperature range of $NO_{X}$ emission was similar to that of CO emission, on the other hand, $SO_{2}$ was emitted at a higher temperature than that of CO emission.

Localized forms of giant cell tumor are known to arise commonly in the synovial membrane of the finger joints. Multinucleated giant cells are its characteristic pathology finding, giant cell tumor shows a low rate of recurrence after complete excision. When occurring at the knee joints, giant cell tumor manifests a wide form of symptoms, from no symptom at all, to intermittent locking. Complete excision is possible by arthroscopy, but if done incompletely, it is reported to recur in 45% of cases. We present here a case of giant cell tumor that has arisen from the anterior portion of the posterior cruciate ligament, excised by arthroscopy and followed by pathologic confirmation.

The effects of silica content were studied on UV curing characteristics and defect formations in imprinted patterns of hundreads nanometer size for the photo-curable imprinting composites with silica particles. An increase in elasticity and a decrease in shrinkage were observed with an increase in silica content in the imprinting resin which was UV cured at room temperature. However, the patterned nano-pillars were stuck together with neighboring nano-pillars if the amount of silica is more than 7 wt%. This can be ascribed to the increased viscosity of imperfectly cured resin due to the obstruction of the photo-reaction by silica particles. Addition of silica to the imprinting resin is useful in enhancing the strength of the cured resin although it is difficult to get good imprinted patterns for the resin with more than 7 wt% of silica due to the reduction of photo-reaction conversion.
