Purpose: Thumb reconstruction plays most important role in hand injuries because total loss of a thumb constitutes about 40% disability in the hand. The reconstruction can be accomplished by pollicization, free toe-to-thumb transfer, wrap around procedure and lengthening extraction. However, we sometimes need consecutive or double free flaps in the reconstruction of mutilating hand injuries. Methods: We reconstructed a mutilating hand injury in a 54-years old man. Because of severe crushing injury of right thumb and index fingers, we reconstructed a thumb with pollicization using nearly amputated middle finger. Although it survived completely, the adjacent soft tissues which had been covered by fillet flap from the space past was necrosed on 1 month. We debrided the necrotic tissues and covered it with anteromedial thigh perforator free flap consecutively because he had an anatomical variation in branches of lateral femoral circumflex artery. Results: He had an uneventful postoperative course without any complication such as infection, dehiscence and flap necrosis. Three months later, he had undergone tenolysis and defatting procedure of flap site. He recovered the some amount of grip function and was happy with the result. Conclusion: In severe hand trauma including thumb amputation, thumb reconstruction using pollicization and perforator free flap could be an alternative option. It provides minimal donor site morbidity and an acceptable functional result.

Although the tail vessels are frequently used for serial blood sampling in rat, the definition of its vasculature remains in dispute. Herein, we investigated the number of blood vessels in Sprague-Dawley rat tail using angiographic and histological methods. Our results showed rat tail has one dorsal vein, two lateral veins, one ventral artery and one ventral vein. In the conclusion, when deciding which site is best for collecting blood, it is critical to consider the structure and features of the blood vessels to be used. This study will also be helpful for investigators to understand the structure of blood vessels in rat tail.

Recently, researches on human modeling and visualization are being done in medical, educational field and clinical treatment. As human configurations, however, are different among races and ethnic people, it is necessary to construct standard Korean human model according to Korean standard configuration, age, and sex etc. KISTI started building the Visible Korean Human Database in 2000 and it has provided the Digital Korean Database built in 2003 for users in university, research institute. As the utilization of the Human Data was insignificant and the majority fields that used the data were in research, we investigate application of data, other utilization method, and current research status to further and boost use of the Human data in many other fields.

Magnetic survey flights by helicopters are usually parallel to the topographic surface, with a nominal clearance, but especially in high-resolution surveys the altitudes at which observations are made may be too variable to be regarded as a smooth surface. We have developed a reduction procedure for such data using the method of equivalent sources, where surrounding sources are included to control edge effects, and data from points distributed randomly in three dimensions are directly modelled. Although the problem is generally underdetermined, the method of conjugate gradients can be used to find a minimum-norm solution. There is freedom to select the harmonic function that relates the magnetic anomaly with the source. When the upward continuation function operator is selected, the equivalent source is the magnetic anomaly itself. If we select as source a distribution of magnetic dipoles in the direction of the ambient magnetic field, we can easily derive reduction-to-pole anomalies by rotating the direction of the magnetic dipoles to vertical.

Approximately 2.0 kb of the promoter region of the Pichia pastoris phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK1) was reduced to a 266 bp fragment and this minimized portion was used for construction of a new episomal constitutive expression vector in P. pastoris. As an approach to developing a constitutive expression vector in P. pastoris, the GAP promoter region of the Pichia expression vector pGAPZB was replaced with sequentially deleted PGK1 promoter fragments fused to a beta-galactosidase gene. When a lacZ gene was used as a reporter gene, PGK1 promoter strength was lower than that of the constitutive GAP promoter but it was higher than TEF1. We report here the development of the pPGKZ-E vector as a new episomal expression vector for heterologous gene expression by removing non-essential regions of the PGK1 promoter. This broadens the choice of episomal expression vectors for controlled constitutive expression in P. pastoris.

Sulfonated polyimides had been utilized and studied widely as available materials in chloro-alkali electrolysis, cationic exchange resins, and so on. However, a slow decrease in performance during experiments had been reported, which could be attributed to a loss of ionic conductivity related to either a continuous dehydration or polymer degradation. One of main reasons to account for the degradation of sulfonated polymers is the hydrolysis leading to polymer chain scission and decrement of molecular weight. Therefore, the objective of our study was to investigate possible imide cycle and additional ester bond cleavage connected with $SO_3$H presence under hydrated condition. In order to confirm and obtain as clear information as possible about breakages of bonds via $^1H\; and \;^{13}C$ NMR and IR spectroscopic analyses, our study was performed by model compound. Consequently, model compounds with both phthalic and naphthalenic imide ring and ester bonds were synthesized to evaluate the hydrolysis stability of sulfonated polyimide. The experiments were performed for prepared model compounds before and after aging in deionized water at $80^{\circ}C$ and were terminated by lyophilization technique. The aging products were finally analyzed by NMR and IR spectroscopy.

최근 지구온난화가 가속화되면서 전 세계적으로 기상재해가 급증하고 있다. 특히 강우패턴의 변화를 고려한 강수 전망 연구결과는 온실가스 농도 증가로 호우나 가뭄, 대설 등이 지역에 따라 서로 상반되는 변화를 가져올 가능성이 있으며, 우리나라의 경우도 극한강수의 발생빈도가 1990년대 후반 이래로 뚜렷하게 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 현재 우리나라에서도 이러한 기후변화에 대비하기 위해 여러 가지 가뭄연구를 수행하고 있는 실정이다. 일반적으로 가뭄의 해석에는 그 목적에 따라 여러 가지 지표를 이용하여 가뭄을 정의하며, 그 중 강수 및 하천유량 등은 기상 및 수문학적 가뭄을 판단하기 위한 지표로 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 강수의 부족은 가뭄의 주된 요인이라 할 수 있으며, 가뭄의 정량적 평가에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 즉 평균수준(혹은 절단수준)을 설정하고 가뭄의 지속기간, 심도, 발생빈도 등을 정의한 후, 이를 시계열 분석하여 가뭄의 특성을 분석하는 것이다. 또한 가뭄은 지속기간과 심도를 주요 특성변수를 가지는 이변량 수문사상이므로, 이를 반영한 확률 및 통계학적 해석방법의 적용이 반드시 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 가뭄특성을 가뭄지속기간과 심도의 이변량을 동시에 고려하여 지점별 가뭄빈도해석을 수행하였으며, 지역별 가뭄발생특성을 고려하여, 강우관측지점별 과거에 발생한 최대가 뭄사상에 대한 가뭄위험도를 계산하였다. 그 결과, 우리나라 지점별 미래에 연속되는 10, 50, 100, 150년에 따라 과거의 최대가뭄이 발생할 확률을 지도로 도시하여 지역적 가뭄위험도를 분석하여 가뭄위험지역을 예상하였다. 이는 우리나라 내 가뭄취약지역의 우선순위를 결정하고, 실제로 국가적인 차원에서의 장기적인 가뭄관리를 하는 데 있어, 가뭄취약지역별 차별성 있는 가뭄대응방안을 마련하는 데 있어서도 하나의 객관적 근거로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 과학 기술의 발달과 정보화로 인해 다양한 분야의 방대한 정보들이 디지털화되어 저장되고, 이를 효율적으로 저장하고 관리하는 기술에 대한 수요가 증대하고 있다. 특히, 수자원 분야에서도 지점 관측 형태의 직접 계측방식이 아닌 선, 면 형태의 간접 계측방식의 기술이 개발됨에 따라 짧은 시간 동안 많은 수의 양질의 자료를 취득할 수 있게 되었다. 이에 따라 과거에 비해 방대하고 연속적인 하천공간정보가 축척되었으며, 이를 저장하고 관리하고자 하는 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 하천공간정보 중 하천단면자료는 하천기본계획수립 시 핵심이 되는 자료중 하나일 뿐만 아니라 하천의 흐름 특성을 해석하기 위한 여러 물리 모형의 입력 자료로서, 하천의 물이 흐르는 하도공간을 흐름방향의 횡방향으로 절단하였을 때 생기는 면을 기록한 자료이다. 국가에서는 하천단면자료 계측을 위해 많은 예산을 투입하고 있으며, 실제로 많은 수의 하천에서 하천단면자료를 계측하고 있다. 하지만 계측된 하천단면자료는 컴퓨터를 이용하여 제도하는 응용프로그램용 파일(CAD)로 저장되어, 하천단면자료를 지속적으로 저장 관리 모니터링하기에는 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 하천단면자료를 지속적으로 저장 관리 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템 개발을 목적으로 현재 개발 중인 하천공간정보 표준 자료모형과 하천공간정보를 전송할 수 있는 표준자료 전송 언어인 RiverML을 활용하였다. 본 연구에서 도입한 하천공간정보 표준 자료모형은 하천망을 기반으로 한 상호연계를 기본으로 하고 있어, 하천망을 구성하는 각 하천과 해당 하천의 단면자료 간의 관계를 규명하기 쉬우며, RiverML은 이와 유사하게 하천망을 기반으로 다양한 정보를 전달하기 쉬운 전송언어이다. 또한 국가에서 개발한 공간정보 오픈 플랫폼인 브이월드(Vworld)의 API를 활용하여 저장된 하천단면자료를 표출할 수 있게 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천단면자료 저장 관리 모니터링에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 지속적인 개발을 통해 하천에서 계측되는 공간정보뿐만 아니라 하천의 시설물, 생태환경, 문화 등의 하천공간정보과 연계하여 효율적인 시스템을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The calculation of the resulting fluid motion is an important problem of ship hydrodynamics. For a partially immersed body the condition of constant pressure at the free surface can be linearized. The resulting linear boundary-value problem for the velocity potential is the Neumann-Kelvin problem. The two-dimensional Neumann-Kelvin problem is studied for the half-immersed circular cylinder by Ursell. Maruo introduced a slender body approach to simplify the Neumann-Kelvin problem in such a way that the integral equation which determines the singularity distribution over the hull surface can be solved by a marching procedure of step by step integration starting at bow. In the present pater for the two-dimensional Neumann-Kelvin problem, it has been suggested that any solution of the problem must have singularities in the corners between the body surface and free surface. There can be infinitely many solutions depending on the singularities in the coroners.
