에탄올은 금속, 고무 수지를 부식시키고 열화시키기 때문에 FFV 등 알코올 대응차량이 아닌 경우 에탄올 허용도가 제한되고 있으며, 물과의 상호용해성과 흡습성으로 수분혼입에 의한 상분리가 발생하여 혼합가솔린의 유통에서의 취급에 어려움이 야기되고 있다. 또한, 에탄올은 가솔린과 혼합되면 공비현상으로 인하여 50% 유출온도가 크게 떨어지고 증기압이 7kPa 정도 상승을 초래하는 점도 간과하지 않을 수 없다. 따라서, 자동차용휘발유에 에탄올을 혼입하여 사용할 경우, 가솔린기재를 적절히 선택하여 적정품질을 유지하여야 하며 무엇보다도 에탄을 혼입농도에 따른 저장탱크와 주유기 등의 부품에의 영향과 저장시의 상분리 문제를 충분히 규명하여 유통인프라에서의 적절한 대응책이 마련되어져야 한다. 유통 인프라 대응을 위해서는 우선 생산단계에서 수분 혼입을 최소화하기 위하여 저유소의 출하지점에서 서브옥탄가솔린과 에탄올을 라인브랜딩에 의해 제조하는 방법이 가장 타당하며, 수송부문에서는 탱크로리 등의 공급라인인 파이프와 실링 재질 등에 대해서 면밀한 검토가 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 주유소에서의 대응은 에탄을 혼합연료와 직접 접촉하는 연료계 등 부품재질을 내부식성의 재질로 변환시켜야 하며, 수분혼입을 최소화하기 위한 이중탱크 설치, 지하탱크 환기구내의 대기벨브 설치 등이 필요하며, 기타, 품질 및 수분관리 대책 등도 마련되어야 할 것이다.

도시홍수는 도시의 주요 기능을 마비시킬 수 있는 수재해로서, 최근 집중호우로 인해 홍수 및 침수 위험도가 증가하고 있다. 집중호우는 한정된 지역에 단시간 동안 집중적으로 폭우가 발생하는 현상을 의미하며, 도시 지역에서 강우 추정 및 예보를 위해 레이더의 활용이 증대되고 있다. 레이더는 수상체 또는 구름으로부터 반사되는 신호를 분석해서 강우량을 측정하는 장비이다. 기상청의 기상레이더(S밴드)의 주요 목적은 남한에 발생하는 기상현상 탐지 및 악기상 대비이다. 관측반경이 넓기에 도시 지역에 적합하지 않는 반면, X밴드 이중편파레이더는 높은 시공간 해상도를 갖는 관측자료를 제공하기에 도시 지역에 대한 강우 추정 및 예보의 정확도가 상대적으로 높다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 딥러닝 기반 초해상화(Super Resolution) 기술을 활용하여 저해상도(Low Resolution. LR) 영상인 S밴드 레이더 자료로부터 고해상도(High Resolution, HR) 영상을 생성하는 기술을 개발하였다. 초해상도 연구는 Nearest Neighbor, Bicubic과 같은 간단한 보간법(interpolation)에서 시작하여, 최근 딥러닝 기반의 초해상화 알고리즘은 가장 일반화된 합성곱 신경망(CNN)을 통해 연구가 이루어지고 있다. X밴드 레이더 반사도 자료를 고해상도(HR), S밴드 레이더 반사도 자료를 저해상도(LR) 입력자료로 사용하여 초해상화 모형을 구성하였다. 2018~2020년에 발생한 서울시 호우 사례를 중심으로 데이터를 구축하였다. 구축된 데이터로부터 훈련된 초해상도 심층신경망 모형으로부터 저해상도 이미지를 고해상도로 변환한 결과를 PSNR(Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio), SSIM(Structural SIMilarity)와 같은 평가지표로 결과를 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 방법들에 비해 높은 공간적 해상도를 갖는 레이더 자료를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study was retrospectively performed to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Brostrom procedures using the single suture anchor and the double suture anchor for chronic lateral ankle instability. Materials and Methods: Thirty-seven patients were followed up for more than 1 year after the modified Brostrom procedures using suture anchor. Single surgeon treated seventeen cases with single suture anchor and 20 cases with double suture anchor. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the Karlsson scale and Sefton grading system. Radiologic measurement of the talar tilt and anterior talar translation was performed through anterior and varus stress radiographs using Telos device. Results: The Karlsson scale had improved significantly from preoperative average of 45.2 points to 89.4 points in single suture anchor group, and from 46.4 points to 90.5 points in double suture anchor group. According to the Sefton grading system, 15 cases (88.2%) in single suture anchor group and 18 cases (90%) in double suture anchor group achieved satisfactory results. The talar tilt angle and anterior talar translation had improved significantly from preoperative average of $13.6^{\circ}$ and 8.6 mm to $5.4^{\circ}$ and 4.1 mm in single suture anchor group, from $14.1^{\circ}$ and 8.4mm to $3.9^{\circ}$ and 4 mm in double suture anchor group. Double suture anchor technique was significantly superior in postoperative talar tilt. Conclusion: Single and double suture anchor techniques produced similar clinical and functional outcomes except for talar tilt, which was significantly superior in double suture anchor group. Both modified Brostrom procedures using the single and double suture anchor appear to be effective treatment methods for chronic lateral ankle instability. Further evaluation of clinical outcomes and biomechanical studies in athletes are needed.

Computer networks need a variety of services. Some services such as, video, voice and plantcontrol traffic require a real-time communication with explicit timing constraints. In this pater, we introduce a real-time communication technique which use a reservation technique on dualilnk networks. We introduce an enhanced technique that determines priorities of the message based on time constraints when real-time messages are transmitted. A simulation was conducted to compare and to analyze traditional technique. We used the SLAM II language to simulate this technique. Message loss rate were compared and analyzed as a performance criteria in this simulation.

In this letter, a planar monopole UWB antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is proposed. The band-stop characteristics is realized by embedding the 1st/3rd order Hilbert-curve slots on the patch. With the dimension adjustment of each Hilbert-curve slots, the band rejection from 3.3 to 3.7 GHz and from 5.3 to 6 GHz can be accomplished easily. The VSWR and radiation pattern of the fabricated antenna are measured, and the proposed antenna would be adequate to a UWB applications.

In this paper, we consider the capacity improvement of systems exploiting dual-polarized antennas for two-user transmission. To this end, we analyze the upper bounds of ergodic capacities for multicast and unicast data services in the systems, and propose the condition for adjusting the complex cross-polarization discriminations (XPDs) to maximize the ergodic capacities. In addition, we present the adjustment condition of the complex XPDs that can achieve spectral efficiencies close to the maximum ergodic capacities with lower system complexity. Lastly simulation results demonstrate that the systems using the proposed conditions can obtain higher spectral efficiencies than the ones employing different adjustment conditions including the exiting adjustment condition.

In this paper, a small RFID tag antenna in UHF band which has bandwidth-enhanced characteristic is proposed. The shape of the proposed antenna is a meander antenna to have size-reduced characteristic, and it consists of two radiators which make dual resonance in adjacent frequency to enhance bandwidth. By adjusting length and location of each radiator, the proposed antenna can make dual resonance at arbitrary location on the Smith chart, which is able to make impedance matching with RFID tag chip in wide frequency range. And it is apparent that the proposed antenna can have bandwidth-enhanced characteristic according to the simulated and measured results.

Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor accounting for 5-10% of soft tissue sarcomas. Most arise in the extremities and trunk, and a small proportion occur in the abdominal wall, head and neck legion, and mediastinum. It manifests different phenotypic subtypes that render their cytologic evaluation challenging. Moreover, cytomorphologic description of the epithelial component of synovial sarcoma is rare in Korea. We report a case of biphasic synovial sarcoma on the right lower extremity in a 49-year-old woman diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The aspirate was moderately cellular and composed of a mixture of tissue fragments and dissociated cells with bland chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, and oval to spindle-shaped cytoplasm. Mitosis was rare. A monolayer sheet of epithelial component was seen. The cells in this monolayer sheet had more abundant distinct cytoplasm, round nuclei, and prominent micronucleoli. Histologic examination showed a biphasic pattern consisting of mostly sarcomatous stroma and a few small glandular areas at the periphery of the tumor.

My company currently is operating more than 30 numbers of wide area waterworks which are divided provincially into seven section and integrated operation system (hearafter IOS) in each center plan to operate several decades of waterworks facilities. Four of them, Jeonbuk, Metropolitan, Cheung Chong and JeonNam, has been completed and the others, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam and Gangwon, are under construction. Above all, the methods are reviewed, which have been applied in IOS system to be installed already. I propose the optimal way to communicate efficiently.

The annular and coaxial swirl flows between which LPG is supplied was selected to study the swirling flames in double co-swirl flows. The objective of this study is to research into the effects of double co-swirl flow conditions on the stability limit, the reverse flow boundary, and the time mean temperature distributions of the swirling flames. The increase of swirl intensity of axial flow makes the stability limit decrease, but the annular swirl flow (SM>0.5) makes stability and swirl intensity of axial flow increase, And the existence of axial swirl flow makes flame intensive and small in size, and this may be applicable to the design of high power compact combustor.
