The entrapment of the popliteal artery is a rare cause of ischemia of the lower extremities among young males. The development of local occlusive or aneurysmal changes of the popliteal artery is caused by abnormal anatomic relationships between vascular and musculo-tendinous structures in the popliteal fossa. An 18-year-old male visited our outpatient clinic with the chief complaint of claudication in his right calf. Three dimensional CT angiography showed an occlusion of the popliteal artery and less opacified arteries of the right leg. Intraoperatively, the popliteal artery was compressed by an accessory muscle band arising from the medial head of the gastrocnemius. After release of the muscle band, thrombectomy with endarterectomy was done. Three years after surgery, he is doing well without any problems.

Air Traffic Management(ATM) is to control air traffic flow quickly and safely. For efficient ATM, the ability which calculate optimal route using filight plan and filght information is required. Especially for the time-sensitive air cargo, it is essential. In this paper, therefore, we present a dynamic route search algorithm which calculate optimal route dynamically. The conventional method using Dijkstra algorithm has a problem that recalculate the entire route when some airways are closed. However, the proposed algorithm recalculates only affected waypoints, so it finds optimal route quickly and accurately. Comparisons with the conventional method and the proposed algorithm show that the proposed algorithm provides better.

This study investigates the space, use, and procedural aspects that should be considered in securing the publicity in space renewal of unused lands by analyzing the characteristics of relevant projects conducted by The Korea Academia-Industrial Corporation Society, a party representative of a public agent. The findings reveal the following conclusions. 1. There should be a required procedure that guarantees the adequate qualities of public organizations or publicity for projects run by KAMCO. 2. When the public agent plans a project, there should be an effort to clarify the profit limitations and adequate guarantee of consigned fees charged by the consigned organizations in an attempt to ensure that certain proportions are used to enhance the public goods. 3. There is a need to diversify the ways KAMCO discloses information. A professional organization and separate budget should be required to assess the autonomy of KAMCO to guarantee publicity.

The use of alcohol is recognized as having negative consequences on clinical and psychosocial outcomes in service users with major mental illnesses. This necessitates an introduction of intervention measures in domestic mental health service in Korea. Since research basis on which such measures are developed lacks, this paper aims at exploring drinking patterns of Korean service users and suggesting directions and strategies for intervention. The data came from 151 service users recruited at 14 service settings in Seoul Metropolitan area. The quantitative part of the data includes their recent drinking experiences in terms of patterns and severity; the qualitative part includes information on the drinking context. The data were compared among three types of service settings, each of which differs in physical availability of alcohol by their users. Each group revealed distinctive features in drinking patterns, the author thus suggested directions and strategies of intervention specific to type of service setting.

Highly non-linear electro-optical transfer function of the Perceptual Quantizer was approximated by a truncated Taylor series, resulting in a closed form solution for luma adjustment. This previous solution is fast and quite suitable for the hardware implementation of luma adjustment, but the approximation error becomes relatively large in the range of 600~3,900 cd/m2 linear light. In order to reduce such approximation error, we propose a new linear model, for which a correction is performed on the position and the slope of line based on the scope of approximation. In order to verify the approximation capability of the proposed linear model, a comparative study on the luma adjustment schemes was conducted using various high dynamic range test video sequences. Via the comparative study, we identified a significant performance enhancement over the previous fast luma adjustment scheme, where a 4.65dB of adjusted luma t-PSNR gain was obtained for a test sequence having a large portion of saturated color pixels.

하천에서 수위는 가장 기본적인 수리 수문학적 자료로서, 홍수나 가뭄 등의 피해를 막기 위한 치수와 물을 잘 통하게 하거나 물을 이용하기 위한 이수에 주로 사용된다. 예를 들면, 댐, 보, 저수지 등의 하천시설물 설계 및 관리를 위해 수위를 이용하며, 유량 산정을 위해서 수위-유량 관계 곡선식을 구축하여 수위를 이용한다. 따라서 하천에서 수위는 현재 국내에서 수자원분야에서 사용되는 자료 중에서 가장 중요하며, 동시에 광범위하게 사용되고 있으므로 수위를 관측하는 것이 수자원의 기초라 할 수 있다. 수위 관측의 필요성과 확장 필요성에 대한 인식에도 불구하고, 국내의 수위 관측소는 한강, 낙동강, 금강 등 대하천 위주로 설치되어 있어, 중소규모 하천에서 발생하는 다양한 수문사상에 대한 분석 및 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 특히, 홍수의 경우 같은 강우 사상에도 대하천보다는 중소규모의 하천이 더 극단적으로 유출이 발생하기 때문에, 즉각적인 수위의 계측이 필요한 실정이다. 하지만 한정된 예산 및 인프라의 부족은 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측 시스템의 적용이 대하천에 비해 그 우선수위가 밀리는 원인이 되고 있으며, 지속적으로 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측시스템 적용에 대한 수요가 증가를 야기 시키고 있다. 최근, 과거에 제품을 만들기 위한 전자회로, 자재명세서, 기판도면 등의 정보를 공개하지 않는 폐쇄적인 환경을 벗어나 제품을 만들기 위한 하드웨어 정보를 공개하고, 공개된 정보를 통해 기술을 개발하기 위한 움직임이 활발하다. 이러한 개념을 오픈소스 하드웨어라는 개념으로서, 하드웨어의 제작 없이 간단한 코딩을 통해 하드웨어를 컨트롤 하는 기술이다. 즉, 오픈소스 하드웨어는 초소형화된 PC를 활용하여 센서를 작동하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 기존의 기술을 저렴한 가격으로 제품으로 생산할 수 있다. 또한 사물인터넷(IOT)를 활용하여 온라인 상에서 이러한 오픈소스 하드웨어를 컨트롤 할 수 있으며, 웹서비스와 결합할 경우 센서를 통해 수집된 결과를 인터넷 상에서 확인 할 수 있는 기술들이 지속적으로 개발하고 있다. 이러한 기술이 접목되면 과거에 비해 적은 비용으로 고효율의 자료 수집을 수행 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측시스템 적용에 대한 수요를 해결하기 위해서 기존의 시스템이 가지고 있는 경제적, 기술적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 오픈소스 하드웨어 플랫폼인 아두이노와 사물인터넷 기반 기술을 활용하기 위한 웹서비스를 이용하여 실시간 수위 관측기술을 개발하고, 적용성을 검토하고자 한다.

This paper investigates the achievable data rate for non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) with correlated information sources(CIS), under the binary phase shift keying(BPSK) modulation, in contrast to most of the existing NOMA designs using continuous Gaussian input modulations. First, the closed-form expression for the achievable data rate of NOMA with CIS and BPSK is derived, for both users. Then it is shown by numerical results that for the stronger channel user, the achievable data rate of CIS reduces, compared with that of independent information sources( IIS). We also demonstrate that for the weaker channel user, the achievable data rate of CIS increases, compared with that of IIS. In addition, the intensive analyses of the probability density function(PDF) of the observation and the inter-user interferennce(IUI) are provided to verify our theoretical results.

This paper investigates the achievable data rate for the single-user decoding(SUD) receiver, which does not perform successive interference cancellation(SIC), in contrast to the conventional SIC non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) scheme. First, the closed-form expression for the achievable data rate of SUD NOMA with correlated information sources(CIS) is derived, for the stronger channel user. Then it is shown that for the stronger channel user, the achievable data rate of SUD NOMA with independent information sources(IIS) is generally inferior to that of conventional SIC NOMA with IIS. However, for especially highly CIS, we show that the achievable data rate of SUD NOMA is greatly superior to that of conventional SIC NOMA. In addition, to verify the impact of CIS on the achievable data rate of SUD, the extensive comparisons of the achievable data rates for the SUD receiver and the SIC receiver are compared for various correlation coefficients.

Like most developed countries, South Korea is experiencing a severe lack of seafarers. Because young people's demands for a high quality of life has led them to seek shore-based careers. The wage difference between seafaring and shore-based careers has been decreasing gradually, however South Korea's unique Boarding Service Reserve System Policy has helped recruit and retain young sailors and, since 2017, the government has focused on creating new jobs and stabilizing the status of irregular workers in both private and public sectors. It specifically established the Economic, Social & Labor Council to carefully analyze seafarers' employment stability, which previously had been overlooked in the country. This research used the Binary Logit Model (BLM) to analyze the determinants of seafarers' employment stability in both permanent and non-permanent positions. We found that seafarers' employment stability correlated highly with their education level. This means that seafarers who graduated from the above mentioned two maritime universities would have more job stablity than those who graduated from maritime high schools or general universities. Other independent variables, such as the shipping company, vessel, hip management companies, work assignment, rank, and license had no significant impact on employment stability.

본 연구에서는 GnRH가 과배란 처치된 래트의 초기 난포기와 후기 난포기에서 난소기능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 이해하기 위해서, 30IU PMSG와 10IU hCG로 전처치된 미성숙 래트에 있어서 배란반응, 배란 난자의 형태학적 이상 유무 및 핵 성숙도, 난소 중량, 난소의 조직학적인 변화 및 혈중 스테로이드 호르몬 (17$\beta$-estradiol, progesterone 및 testosterone) 농도에 대하여 GnRH agonist의 효과를 검사하였다. GnRH agonist는 PMSG 전처치 후 초기 난포기 (PMSG 투여 후 6시간부터) 또는 후기 난포기(PMSG 투여 후 54시간부터)에 4시간 동안 20분 간격으로 경정맥 카테타를 통해 혈관내로 투여하였다. 각 실험동물은 혈중 스테로이드 호르몬의 변화를 측정하기 위하여 PMSG 투여 후 54시간, 72시간에 혈액을 채취하고 72시간에 희생시켰다. PMSG로 전처치한 미성숙 래트의 초기 난포기에 GnRH agonist의 투여는 GnRH agonist를 투여하지 않은 군(대조군)에 비해 과배란 억제, 형태학적 비정상 배란난자의 증가, 난소 중량의 감소, 난포폐쇄의 증가 및 혈중 스테로이드 호르몬의 농도 감소가 보였다. 한편 후기 난포기에 GnRH agonist의 투여는 대조군에서의 반응과 전반적으로 유사하였다. 이상의 결과, PMSG 및 hCG 처치로 과배란된 래트의 초기 난포기에 GnRH agonist의 투여는 난소기능을 전반적으로 억제하지만, 후기 난포기에 GnRH agonist의 투여는 난소기능에 영향을 미치지 않았다.
