  • The WeChat mini program is an application embedded in WeChat that users can use without downloading and installing. After it was officially released in 2017, many travel enterprises have launched their own mini programs on the WeChat platform. This study applies affordance theory to investigate the WeChat mini program's role in tourism activities through social network analysis using the R programming language. The authors searched the topic of "how do you perceive the travel-related WeChat mini program" and then crawled the 200 comments found; 180 comments were analyzed after data cleansing. The results show that travel-related WeChat mini programs play a very important role in Chinese social network tourism activities. This paper found that WeChat played a more active role in various tourism-related interactions with Chinese social networks. Moreover, the results show how affordance theory is applied to the use of WeChat mini programs.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) with locking compression plate (LCP) for distal tibial metaphyseal intra-articular fracture compared with extra-articular fracture. Materials and Methods: From February 2006 to June 2008, 21 patients with distal tibia metaphyseal intra-articular fracture and 20 patients with extra-articular fracture were treated operatively by MIPPO technique with LCP and followed for at least one year. In the group with intra-articular fracture, mean age was 48.85 years old and a mean follow-up was 15 months. In the other group with extra-articular fracture, mean age was 52.35 years old and a mean follow-up was 14.5 months. The type of fracture was evaluated using the AO/OTA classification and open-fractures were according to the Gustilo-And gron classification. Radiologic evaluation with fracture healing and tibial alignment, clinical evaluation with Olerud and Molander ankle score and restriction of motion were done for treatment. Results: According to AO/OTA classification, There were 21 type A, 15 type B, 5 type C. Average union time of the intra-articular fracture (type B, C) was 18.7 weeks. Average union time of the extra-articular fracture (type A) was 17.1 weeks. All fractures were healed without malunion. There were no difference of mean restriction angle between intra-articular fracture (ankle dorsiflexion was 3.57 degree, plantar-flexion was 5.95 degree) and extra-articular fracture (ankle dorsiflexion was 3 degree, plantar-flexion was 3.75 degree). There were no difference of Olerud and Molander ankle score between them as a mean score of intra-articular and extra-articular was 89.25, 91.25 each other. As a complication, there were 3 case of skin necrosis, 8 case of discomfortable skin tenting by plate and 1 superficial infection, but could be healed by conservative care. Conclusion: MIPPO technique, combined articular reduction, with LCP of distal tibial metaphyseal fracture was a good method with high functional recovery.

  • Plasma polymerized methyl methacrylate (ppMMA) thin films were deposited by plasma polymerization technique with different plasma powers and subsequently thermally treated at temperatures of 60 to $150^{\circ}C$. To find a better ppMMA preparation technique for application to organic thin film transistor (OTFT) as dielectric layer, the chemical composition, surface morphology, and electrical properties of ppMMA were investigated. The effect of ppMMA thin-film preparation conditions on the resulting thin film properties were discussed, specifically O-H site content in the pMMA, dielectric constant, leakage current density, and hysteresis.

  • In this work, the reinforcing action of carbon blacks in rubber was investigated by SEM and UTM measurements which at low a testing of the surface and mechanical properties. In order to gain an insight into the different properties between carbon blacks before and after methane/propane decomposition, various composites were prepared with SBR synthetic rubber and different carbon blacks with four loading ratios. The results were analyzed with the aim of finding suitable conditions for decomposition reaction to cut down the net cost for hydrogen production through hydrocarbon decomposition.

  • 1-Deoxynojirimycin which is a potent intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was purified from the culture broth by ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex LH20 column chromatography, TSK gel chromatography and HPLC respectively. Acute toxicity of 1-deoxynojirimycin, which was loaded through the oral as dose of 200mg/kg, was investigated in IRC mouse. None of the tested IRC mice were not dead and increase of body weight showed also the same results in comparison with control mice. The antimicrobial susceptibility of 20 pathogenic strains against 3 antidiabetic compounds (1-deoxynojirimycin, AO-128, acarbose) were obtained by agar dilution method. All of the three antidiabetic compounds has very weak antimicrobial activity (MIC>100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml).

  • In this paper, the control scheme is proposed that PI controller parameter used for TAH speed control is adapted by fuzzy logic method using only the motor current waveform. By scheduling PI parameters, minimization of the vibration and the energy consumption and overcoming AoP loads becomes possible. In in vitro tests experimental results show our approach is a good scheme that is adapted to changing afterloads well.

  • Microlensing is generally thought to probe planetary systems only out to a few Einstein radii. Microlensing events generated by bound planets beyond about 10 Einstein radii generally do not yield any trace of their hosts, and so would be classified as free floating planets (FFPs). I show that it is already possible, using adaptive optics (AO), to constrain the presence of potential hosts to FFP candidates at separations comparable to the Oort Cloud. With next-generation telescopes, planets at Kuiper-Belt separations can be probed. Next generation telescopes will also permit routine vetting for all FFP candidates, simply by obtaining second epochs 4-8 years after the event. At present, the search for such hosts is restricted to within the "confusion limit" of θconfus ∼ 0.25′′, but future WFIRST (Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope) observations will allow one to probe beyond this confusion limit as well.

  • Balancing left/right cardiac output is essential for the automatic control of total artificial hearts(TAH). A fuzzy logic-based control method is presented. We use left atrial pressure(LAP) and right atrial pressure(RAP) as indicators for left/right balancing. The fuzzy controller has four input variables which are measured LAP and RAP and their gradients. Desired variations in left cardiac output(LCO) and right cardiac output(RCO) are calculated to keep LAP and RAP within the Physiological limits. Computer simulations were performed to adjust fuzzy membership functions for variables and verify this control method. Results from simulations showed that LAP and RAP returned to the physiological limits while AoP and PAP stayed within the physiological limits.

  • The present paper studies the ultimate torsional strength of stiffened box girders with large deck opening due to the influence of cracks. Three types of hull girders with different spans are provided for comparison. Potential parameters which may have effects on the torsional strength including the mesh refinement, initial deflection, material strain hardening, geometric properties of crack and stiffener are discussed. Two new concepts that play an significant role in the ultimate strength research of damaged box girders are introduced, one of which is the effective residual section (ERS), the other is the initial damage of the failure zone (IDFZ) for intact structures. New simple formulas for predicting the residual ultimate torsional strength of cracked stiffened box girders are derived on the basis of the two new concepts.

  • 국내 11개 지역(경기도 옹진군 덕적도, 경기도 의정부시 소요산, 강원도 춘천시, 충청남도 태안군 안홍, 경상북도 울릉군 울릉도, 전라북도 부안군 변산, 전라남도 신안군 홍도, 흑산도 비금도, 진도, 제주도)에서 채집된 달팽이 (A. despecta sieboleiana)를 대상으로 외부형태 분석과 동위효소를 검출하여 각 지역 집단간의 형태적, 유전적 유연관계와 변이 정도를 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 외부형태에 의한 집단간 유연관계는 안홍과 덕적도집단(average taxonomic distance, D=0.358)이 형태적으로 가장 유사한 집단으로 나타났다. Polyacrylamide gel을 사용하여 11가지의 동위효소를 검출한 결과 AKP, ACP, AO, EST, GPD, HBDH, LDH, SDH, XDH의 동위효소에서 유전적 다형현상이 나타났다. 전 집단의 평균 다형형의 빈도는 59.19%이며 이형접합자 빈도는 0.263이고 각 집단의 유전적 차이치는 춘천과 울릉도 집단이 0.066(genetic distance)으로 가장 높은 유사성을 보였다. 지리적 분포에 따른 외부형태 변이와 유전적 변이와의 관계는 유의성이 없었다.
