The sinus distal to the prosthetic heart valve influences the valve closure behavior and velocity field near the valve, therefore affects the hydrodynamic performance of the prosthetic heart valve. In order to study the effects of valve distal geometry on the hydrodynamic performance of the prosthetic valves, mechanical bileaflet valve(SJMV), monoleaflet polymer valve(MLPV) and trileaflet polymer valve(FTPV) are inserted in the test sections which have the straight and the sinus shape distal to the valve. Leakage volumes and systolic mean pressure drops are measured in the pulsatile mock circulation flow loop. Leakage volumes are slightly less and systolic mean pressure drops are higher in the sinus test section comparing to those in the straight test section, but the differences are statistically insignificant. Flow waveforms are analyzed in order to predict the valve closure behavior. The distal sinus does not affect the closure of the MLPV, but early valve closure of SJMV is observed in the sinus test section. This effect is more significant in FTPV, and the reverse flow peak of FTPV is reduced in the sinus test section. Therefore the sinus distal to the valve can reduce the reverse flow jet caused by sudden valve closure.

A total of 3 hybridoma clones producing monoclonal antibody (MCA) against infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) was established by somatic cell hybridization between mouse myeloma cells and spleen, cells from mice immunized with ILTV. The MCAs were screened by the indirect flourescent antibody (IFA) staining and the specific hybridomas were cloned by limiting dilution method. The MCAs produced by the 3 hybriomas were all classified as immunogloblin G and found to be reacting against common antigen(s) of high and low pathogenic ILTV examined. The titer of these antibodies in mouse ascitic fluid was from $10^5$ to $10^6$. Indirect fluorescent antibody test using these antibodies was found to be quite effective for the detection of ILTV from infected chickens being the most sensitive among the test methods adopted.

The purpose of this study was to compare the ventilatory volume and airway pressure of a facial mask, endotracheal intubation, King tube, and I-gel devices with an Oxylator EM-100 using a RespiTrainer. The data were obtained from July 20 to 21, 2015. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 18.0 software. The ventilatory volume for endotracheal intubation was 537 ml (95% CI 530~545 ml), that for the King tube was 502 ml (95% CI 499~506 ml), that for the I-gel was 88 ml (95% CI 485~491 ml), and that for the facial mask was 499 ml (95% CI 496~503 ml). The airway pressure for endotracheal intubation was $11.34cmH_2O$ (95% CI $11.21{\sim}11.41cmH_2O$), that for the King tube was $10.67cmH_2O$ (95% CI $10.60{\sim}10.75cmH_2O$), that for the I-gel was $10.42cmH_2O$ (95% CI $10.35{\sim}10.67cmH_2O$), and that for the facial mask was $10.61cmH_2O$ (95% CI $10.55{\sim}10.68cmH_2O$). As a result, we were able to identify the appropriate ventilatory volume using the Oxylator EM-100.

This study is the analysis of the actual state of hospital-based training in level 1 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in fire station. The survey was carried out to 42 fire fighters having level 1 emergency medical technician certification from May 11 to 12 in 2012. The results showed 56.5 %, that the level 1 EMTs of roles had direct experienced. Level 1 EMTs performance frequency of clinical practice that endotracheal intubation 66.9 %, laryngeal mask airway 8.4 %, intravenous access 76.6 %, nitroglycerin sublingual 61.2 %, bronchodilator inhalation 50.0 %, fluid loading 73.8 %, ventilator apply 57.6 %, dextrose injection 57.6 %. It is necessary to investigate the continuous study on the education among the level 1 EMTs and the continuous evaluation and analysis of problems, supplemented of guidebook, practical education programs and regulation upon the operation and management of a hospital-based skill training.

The osteological development of the larvae and juveniles of Prognichthys agoo was examined on the laboratory-roared materials of 5.06-20.01 mm in mean total length(MTL). Cranium, vertebrae, caudal skeleton, siloulder girdle bone, pelvic girdle bone, pterygiophore and jaw bones were descriued in detail to examine the sequences of ossification. Ossification of the cranium took place at ca. 5.06 mm of MTL in exoccipital, basioccipital, parasphenoid. Ossification of the visceral skeleton occurred in areas where active movements of bones were required, notably in the parts for feeding and respiration. Vertebrae began to develop from the anterior end and to ossify posteriorly. Neural and haemal spines of vertebrae ossified always prior to the corresponding centra. Urostyle bone developed as an elongated bone from the early larvae and ossified prior to the centra caudal part. In jaw bones, maxillary and a part of dentary appeared first at 5.06 mm of MTL and attained a fundamental structure at 9.30 mm of MTL. Ossification of all bones was nearly completed at ca. 20.01 mm of MTL.

In this study, we reviewed and discussed whether auditory stimuli with short length can evoke emotion-related neurological responses. The findings implicate that if personalized sound tracks are provided to XR users based on machine learning or probability network models, user experiences in XR environment can be enhanced. We also investigated that the arousal-relaxed factor evoked by short auditory sound can make distinct patterns in functional connectivity characterized from background EEG signals. We found that coherence in the right hemisphere increases in sound-evoked arousal state, and vice versa in relaxed state. Our findings can be practically utilized in developing XR sound bio-feedback system which can provide preference sound to users for highly immersive XR experiences.

Fertilized eggs of Takifugu pardalis (Temminck et Schlegel) were collected on the coast of Jook-do in Tongyong, Korea, from March 1997 to June 1999, and hatched and reared in the laboratory to investigate osteological development of the larve and juveniles. The newly hatched larvae attained a mean of $3.13{\pm}0.05mm$ in total length (TL). Ossification first began in the parasphenoid, premaxillary and dentary. At 5 days after hatching, the postlarvae attained a mean of $3.82{\pm}0.03mm$ in TL, and their sphenotic, prefrontal, preopercle, opercle, maxillary, and articular were ossified. At 15 days, the postlarvae attained a mean of $7.84{\pm}0.06mm$ in TL, their nasal and posttemporal bones were ossified and the hyoid arch completed ossification. Ossification of all bones was completed in the juveniles (mean = $10.21{\pm}0.06mm$ in TL) at 21 days.

This study examines the osteological development of the Bartail Flathead Platycephalus indicus in the cranial, vertebral, caudal bones and pelvic, sholder grilde bones for the purpose of taxonomic studies. Adult P. indicus were collected from the Yeosu coast and artificially fertilized. Juveniles were reared at 18.5~21.8℃ (average 20.0℃±0.5℃). At 3 days after hatching (total length (TL) 3.49±0.32 mm), the parasphenoid and clavicle began to ossify. At 14 days after hatching (6.34±0.24 mm), the parietal and exoccipital bones of the cranium, the six branchiostegal rays of the hyoid, the urostyle of the caudal bones and the actinost of the shoulder girdle had ossified. At 39 days after hatching (11.39±0.86 mm), the preorbital and suborbital bones of the cranium were ossified, ossification of the pelvis girdle had begun, and the sholuder girdle was fully ossified. The number of vertebral columns were 26. At 45 days after hatching (12.63±0.62 mm), the nasal and supraorbital bones were ossified and the entire skeleton of the juvenile was completely ossified.
