In this study, the functional cosmetic activity of hot-water (AW) and methanol(AM) extracts from Apocynum lancifolium Russanov are examined. In the DPPH antioxidant activity test, the AW extract showed the highest inhibition rate of 90.5% (IC50 37.717 ± 8.209 ㎍/mL) and the antioxidative activity of ABTS showed a high activity in the AW extract with an IC50 of 185.244 ± 12.602 ㎍/mL and 96.2%, respectively. In RAW264.7 macrophages, the two extracts significantly suppressed the LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO), TNF-α, IL-6 production and iNOS expression level. The MTT assay measured by the cell survival rate showed that AW and AM extracts have no toxicity. The astringent activity of the AW extract exhibited the highest astringent activity with 74.336±2.487 mg/mL. Therefore, these results suggest that A. lancifolium extracts have a health promotion potential which can be further developed as food additive, natural products for cosmetic purpose.

This study examined the reproductive health-related experiences of North Korean women defectors and their sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, and reproductive health promotion behavior. Convergent parallel mixed methods were used. From April to July 2020, 8 North Korean women defectors in Seoul metropolitan area were recruited by snowball sampling. In addition, 175 participants in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang Province were recruited. Content analysis was conducted to analyze qualitative data, and the SPSS 23.0 program was used. Three themes were derived: scared of sex due to ignorance', 'the embarrassing and annoying sex only for duty', and had to manage myself for sex under the limited situation.'. The subject's sexual knowledge was higher in the older and married groups, and the sexual attitude was more liberal in the younger group. Reproductive health promotion behavior was more active in the high economic level, and sexual knowledge and sexual attitude showed a positive correlation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide support systems and resources from the community to encourage reproductive health promotion activities. In addition, in terms of humanitarian aid, prioritization of the reproductive health of North Korean women is required.

The need to develop method which can improve the shape design efficiency using high quality approximation is being brought up. In this study, to perform shape optimal design of three-dimensional continuum structures an efficient approximation method for stress constraints is proposed, based on expanding the nodal forces in Taylor series with respect to shape variables. Numerical examples are performed using the 3-D cantilever beam and fixed-fixed beam and compared with other method to demonstrate the efficiency and convergence rate of the Force Approximation method. It is shown that by taking advantage of this high quality approximation, the total number of finite element analysis required for shape optimization of 3-D continuum structures can be reduced significantly, resulting to the same level of efficiency achieved previously in sizing optimization problems. Also, shape representation by super curve technique applied to obtain optimal shape finds useful method.

본 연구에서는 사람의 턱 운동과 턱 사이에 작용하는 힘(혹은 압력)을 그대로 나타낼 수 있는 저작로봇을 개발하는 것을 궁극적인 목표로 한다. 이러한 저작로봇이 개발되면, 치과의사가 환자의 턱운동에 나타나는 병변을 진단하고 치료하는데 큰 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다. 또한 , 본 연구에 채택한 병렬기구(parallel mechanism)에대한 순기구학적( forward kinematics)분석은 일반적인 병렬기구의 실계에도 응용될 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구진이 1차적으로 설계한 모델은 베이스와 플랫폼(platform), 그리고 이 둘을 연결하는 3개의 다리로 구성되어 있다. 다리와 플랫폼은 3자유도의 관절로 다리와 베이스는 1자유도의 경첩 관절로 연결되어 있으며, 이 3개의 경첩 관절은 베이스 위의 수평면에서 직선을 따라 움직인다. 경첩 관절의 수평 변위와 세 다리의 길이가 주어졌을 때 플랫폼의 위치와 오리엔테이션을 구하는 순기구학의 해( 解)를 계산해내는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 알고리즘의 특징은 매 순간 오차를 계산하여 이 오차가 줄어드는 방향으로 나아가도록 시간간격(time step)을 조절하는 것이다. 본 알고리즘은 현재 가장 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 뉴튼-렙슨 방법에 비하여 3가지 장점을 나타내고 있다. 우선 , 초기치(initial guess)에 관계없이 수렴한다는 것이다. 또한, 본 알고리즘은 뉴튼-렙슨 방법에 비하여 수렴속도가 훨씬 빠르며, 연산 시간이 매우 짧아져 실제적인 실시간 적용에 적합하다. 마지막으로, 뉴튼-렙슨 방법에서는 여러 개의 해 가운데 어느 곳으로 수렴할 지 예측 할수 없으나 본 알고리즘에서는 초기치에 가장 가까운 해로 수렴한다. 이러한 순기구학의 다중성(multiplicity)문제를 해결하기 위하여 두 개의 조건을 제시하였으며, 이를 적용한 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면 항상 원하는 해(true solution)에 수렴할 수 있었다.발생량의 감소를 기대 할 수 있는 친환경기술로 유지관리비를 최소화할 수 있는 장점이 있었다. 않은 사람들 중 미래의 검진실행의지에 건강소식지가 영향을 미친 경우는 48.7%였다. 보건교육을 받은 후 유방암 자가검진 실천율은 사업군에서 53.9%로 받기 전의 27.3%보다 증가하였으나 대조군의 경우는 별 차이가 없었다. 연령별로는 60대가 가장 높았고 사업군에서 검진율의 증가분은 30대가 가장 컸다. 교육수준별로는 사업군은 고졸이, 대조군은 전문대졸이 가장 높았고 사업군에서 검진율의 증가분은 고졸에서 가장 컸다. 보건교육 후 유방암과 관련된 건강지식의 정도는 사업군이 3.7점으로 대조군보다 유의하게 높았으며, 유방암 자가검진법을 실천하는 사람들의 동기는 ‘일반 대중매체의 영향’이 가장 많았으며 건강소식지가 동기인 경우도 20.4%였다. 사업군에서 건강소식지가 유방암 자가검진법 실천에 영향을 미친 경우가 79.6%였으며 유방암 자가검진법에 관한 보건교육을 받고 실천하지 않은 사람들 중 미래의 실천의지에 건강소식지가 영향을 미친 경우는 43.6%였다. 이상의 소견에서 지역주민을 대상으로 인쇄매체를 통한 보건교육은 인쇄물만으로도 쉽게 실천 할 수 있는 유방암 자가검진법이 가장 효과적이었으며, 자궁암검진에 관해서도 검진을 받을 수 있도록 지역사회의 보건의료의 하부구조를 정비하여 제도적 장치를 마련하고 정보를 제공한다면 자궁암검진 실천율도 증가할 것이다.고 12.9% 의 발달율을 보여 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 핵이식 수정란을 효율적으로 생산하기 위하여 수핵난자의 세포질에 ionomycin 과 DMAP 의 혼합처리로 탈핵난자의 활성화를 유도하는 것이 효율을 증진시킬 수 있었다고 본다. 또한 공핵수정란을 수정 후 90시간과 114시간 개별 배양하여 할구를 공핵체로 핵이식에 이용하였을 때도 그룹배양에 비하여 효율이 떨어지지 않음을 알 수 있었으며, 수정란의 할구

In this study a series of tests (bench scale test) are carried out for increasing the strength of clayey soil by EK-Injection method. In addition, the effects of strength increase in the treated sample are measured by operating the vane shear test device during 25 days at 5 days intervals in order to estimate the effect of ground improvement caused by diffusion. Also, the effects of strength increase in the treated sample are measured by operating the vane shear test device to estimate the effect by treatment durations (5, 10, 15, 20, 25). The test results show that the strength increase was developed approximately 2 to 7 times in comparison to initial shear strength, and outstanding strenfth increase was created as much as 7 times while injecting the sodium silicate and phosphoric acid in anolyte and catholyte. In addition, the measured shear strength with the influence of diffusion and reduction of water-content had a tendency to converge in constant value in proportion to elapsed time. As a result of this study, strength increment developed by the influence of EK-Injection and diffusion rather than the reduction of water-content was 1000% high on average. In case of changes of treatment duration, strength increment developed by the influence of treatment durations rather than the reduction of water-content was 3 to 4 times high on average.

Latent topic models are statistical models which automatically captures salient patterns or correlation among features underlying a data collection in a probabilistic way. They are gaining an increased popularity as an effective tool in the application of automatic semantic feature extraction from text corpus, multimedia data analysis including image data, and bioinformatics. Among the important issues for the effectiveness in the application of latent topic models to the massive data set is the efficient learning of the model. The paper proposes an accelerated learning technique for PLSA model, one of the popular latent topic models, by an incremental EM algorithm instead of conventional EM algorithm. The incremental EM algorithm can be characterized by the employment of a series of partial E-steps that are performed on the corresponding subsets of the entire data collection, unlike in the conventional EM algorithm where one batch E-step is done for the whole data set. By the replacement of a single batch E-M step with a series of partial E-steps and M-steps, the inference result for the previous data subset can be directly reflected to the next inference process, which can enhance the learning speed for the entire data set. The algorithm is advantageous also in that it is guaranteed to converge to a local maximum solution and can be easily implemented just with slight modification of the existing algorithm based on the conventional EM. We present the basic application of the incremental EM algorithm to the learning of PLSA and empirically evaluate the acceleration performance with several possible data partitioning methods for the practical application. The experimental results on a real-world news data set show that the proposed approach can accomplish a meaningful enhancement of the convergence rate in the learning of latent topic model. Additionally, we present an interesting result which supports a possible synergistic effect of the combination of incremental EM algorithm with parallel computing.
