다양한 산업 분야에서 세장비가 높은 구멍 가공의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 방전 가공은 세장비가 높은 미세 구멍을 가공하는데 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나 일반적인 방전 가공으로는 세장비가 5이상 되는 깊은 구멍을 가공하기가 쉽지 않다 구멍을 가공할 때에 일정 깊이 이상으로 가공이 진행되면 가공 부스러기가 쉽게 배출되지 못하여 방전 집중 현상과 아크 방전이 일어나게 된다. 이로 인해 깊은 구멍 가공이 불가능하게 된다. 그러나 절연액에 초음파를 부가하여 가공을 하면 공구와 가공물 사이의 기공 부스러기가 분산되어 방전 집중 현상과 아크 방전 현상이 사라지고 가공이 원활히 이루어진다.(중략)

본 논문에서는 대부분의 지문 인식 알고리즘에서 전처리에 해당하는 부분인 이미지 세선화에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 알고리즘을 보면 지운 매칭을 하기 전에 이미지 이진화와 세선화, 방향성 추출, 특징점 추물을 거친 후에 지문의 매칭이 이루어지는 단계이다. 이런 단계를 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 세선화 과정에서 기존의 알고리즘을 쓰지않고 융선을 추적해 나가는 방법으로 세선화를 함과 동시에 방향성 추출과 특징점 추출을 함께 해 나갈 수 있는 방향을 제시하고 있다. 이렇게 됨으로써 인식 시간을 단축할 수 있다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of 24 hour pH monitoring in the pediatric patients with recurrent vomiting or regurgitation. Methods: We performed 24 hour pH monitoring on 87 pediatric patients with recurrent vomiting or regurgitation using GastrograpH with glass electrode. The pathologic GER was determined by the reflux index (RI). RIs>10% were considered positive in patients <1 year of age, whereas RIs of >5% were positive in other age groups. We evaluated the mean and standard deviation of the reflux parameters between physiologic and pathologic GER groups, and also compared the reflux indices of each group with respect to time zones of the day. Results: Pathologic GER was found in 32 of 87 patients (36.8%), and the age incidence included 32.5% in infants <6 months old, 13.3% in infants aged 6 months-1 year old, 61.5% in children aged 1~2 years old, 14.3% in children aged 2~3 years old and 66.7% in children >3 years old. In physiologic GER patients, the RI was $3.7{\pm}2.9%$ for the patients <1 year old (group A), and $1.8{\pm}1.5%$ for those ${\geq}1$ year old (group B) which was statistically significant between the 2 age groups (p=0.02). The number of long refluxes more than 5 minutes was significantly increased (p=0.03) in group A ($1.7{\pm}1.9$) than in group B ($0.8{\pm}1.0$). The duration of the longest reflux was significantly longer (p=0.007) in group A ($604{\pm}551$ sec) than in group B ($275{\pm}296$ sec). In pathologic GER patients, the RI was $17.7{\pm}11.6%$ for the patients <1 year old and $7.8{\pm}2.9$ for those ${\geq}1$ year old. The number of long refluxes of more than 5 minutes were $8.9{\pm}4.6$ and $3.2{\pm}1.8$, and the duration of the longest reflux were $1955{\pm}2190$ sec and $1093{\pm}706$ sec for each age group. In both physiologic and pathologic GER patients, there was no significant difference of RI among the time zones of the day. Conclusion: Pathologic GER was found in 36.8% of patients. There was significant difference of RI between those <1 year old and those ${\geq}1$ year old in physiologic GER patients. There was no significant difference of RI among the time zones of the day in both pathologic and physiologic groups. In our study, the frequency of pathplogic GER was too much higher in age group of 1~2 years old (61.5%) than in group of 6 months-1 year old (13.3%), which means that further study is needed to determine the pathologic criteria of RI (Vandenplas criteria is >5%) in the age group of 1~2 years old.

Purpose : Recently, it has been reported that the prevalence of mycoplasam pneumonia in infants is increasing. We studied the change of prevalence and clinical features in infants for recent three years. Methods : We evaluated the clinical records of 206 patients diagnosed as mycoplasma pneumonia during Mar. 2000~Feb. 2003. We retrospectively analyzed epidemiologic, clinical, serologic and radiologic difference between children younger than 24 months and others. Results : Among 206 patients, 111 were boys and 95 were girls. Mean age of onset was $5.12{\pm}2.91$ years and lowered annually(P>0.05). 28 patinets(13.6%) were younger than 24 months and annual prevalence in this group increased(P<0.05). Main clinical features included cough, fever, coarse breathing sound(=sputum), rhinorrhea and dyspnea. There was no clinical difference between children younger than 24 months and others, except for rhinorrhea and dyspnea which more developed frequently in children younger than 24 months (P<0.05). There was also no serologic and radiologic difference for these groups. Conclusion : Annual mean age of onset lowered and annual prevalence of younger than 24 months increased with mycoplasma pneumonia. Therefore, we need careful attention to differentiate Mycoplasma pneumoniae as causal organism of pneumonia in children younger than 24 months.

Purpose: For better understanding refractive error in Korean children and teenagers, a follow-up study on the changes of refractive error was performed in 1~13-year-old subjects for ten years. Methods: Among the people who had visited an ophthalmologic hospital in Seoul to examine the visual acuity and to correct refractive error from 2000 to 2010 years, 223 subjects (364 eyes) having the corrected visual acuity over 0.7 had been investigated the changes of spherical equivalent power of the cycloplegic clinical refraction and manifest clinical refraction from the accumulated medical record data for ten years. Results: The changes of spherical equivalent power for ten years in 1 to 13 years old were shown the highest change at 7-year-old. And annual change of spherical equivalent power was shown the highest change at from 9-year-old to 10-year-old (-0.64${\pm}$0.64 D) followed by from 8-year-old to 9-year-old (-0.64${\pm}$0.81 D). Conclusions: The changes of refractive error for Korean children and teenagers aged 1 to 13 years in an optometric practice were shown the tendency to proceeding to myopia with age, especially the largest increase at from 7-year-old to 10-year-old, and this period is important for vision care.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the growth pattern of nasopharyx and adenoid and to obtain useful measurements for evaluating the fuction of the nasal breathing. The biennial serial cephalometric radiographs of 33 samples(19 male, 14 female) with normal occlusion from 8.5 years to 18.5 years of age were used in this study. The distances, areas and ratios on nasopharynx and adenoid were measured and analyzed in each age and sex. The results of this study might be summarized as follows ; 1. The mean value and standard deviation of each measurement was obtained in each age and sex. 2. The nasopharyngeal height and the nasopharyngeal depth increased significantly by 14.5 years of age in male and 12.5 years of age in female(p<0,05), 3. The relative nasal airway area showed the minimal value at 8.5 years of age and showed significant increase from 10.5 years to 12.5 years of age in male and from 12.5 years to 14,5 years of age in female(p<0.05). 4. In the correlation analysis between the measurements on the nasal airway and the measurement of relative nasal airway area, the measurements of Ad2-PNS, Ad2-PNS/Ho'-PNS and Upper pharynx appeared singnificant correlation with the measurement of relative nasal airway area(p<0.01).

Between January 197l and December 1987, 113 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) were treated by radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy in the department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei University Hospital. There were 19 patients under thirty years of age. The histology was undifferentiated carcinoma in $68\%$ of the younger patients as compared to $47\%$ of the older patients. Sex, stage, initial symptoms and treatment modalities differed little from those of older patients. In younger patients, the initial complete response rate was $79\%$ as compared to older patients with $54\%$, distant metastases were more common and the overall five year survival rate was not significantly different between the two age groups ($33.7\%$ for the young vs. $37.4\%$ for the old). The five year survival rates for stage III and IV were $60.0\%$ and $24.5\%$, respectively. Histologic subtype was not correlated with survival. The best survival was found only in patients who obtained a complete clearance of disease after radiation therapy.

Central government moves welfare, education, and public fire service that need a lot of budget to local governments. But, central government don't give a enough finance support to local governments to implement those services. Therefore, local government suffer from the financial pressure. Fire service is supplied by province government in Korea. Public facilities tax is an object tax for fire service in province government. But, since total revenue of public facilities tax is just about 30% of fire service budget, the financial pressure of local governments has been increasing and the fire services could not been improved comparing with the increasing demands for the services. The purpose of this article is to examine a stable tax system for fire service. To do so, this study analyzes the fire public service budget, finds out some problems, and compares with developed countries to solve these problems.
