Neurosensory dysfunction of the injured inferior alveolarnerve(IAN) is a common and distrssing consequence of traumatic or iatrogenic injury. Conventional neurosensory testing has been used to detect and monitor sensory impairments of the injured IAN. However, these tests had low reliability and are not qualitative at best because they are based on solely on the patient's subjective assesment of symptoms. Consequently, there is need for more reliable, sensitive, and objective test measures to document and to monitor sensory dysfunction of the trigeminal nerve. This study was to investigate DITI's (digital infrared thermographic imaging) potential as a diagnostic alternative for evaluating of the nerve injures and sensory disturbance. Subjects were 30 patients who had been referred to Ewha Medical Center due to sensory disturbance of the lower lip and chin followed after unobserved inferior alveolar nerve injuries. The patients were examined by clinical neurosensory tests as SLTD (static light touch discrimination), MDD (moving direction discrimination), PPN (pin prick nociception) and DITI (digital infrared thermographic imaging). The correlation between clinical sensory dysfunction scores(Sum of SLTD, MDD, PPN, NP, Tinel sign) and DITI were tested by Spearman nonparametric rank correlation anaylsis & Kruskal-Wallis test, Wilcoxon 2-sample test. This study resulted in as follows; (1) The difference of thermal difference between normal side and affected side was as ${\Delta}-3.2{\pm}0.13$. (2) The DITI differences of the subjects presenting dysesthesia of the lip and chin were correlated significantly with the neurosensory dysfunction scores(r=0.419, p=0.021)and SLTD (r=0.429, p<0.05). (3) The MDD, PPN, NP, Tinel sign, duration, gender were not correlated with DITI(p> 0.05). Therefore, the DITI(digital infrared thermographic imaging) can be an option of the useful objective diagnostic methods to evaluate the injured inferior alveolar nerve and sensory dysfunction of trigerminal nerve.

The design procedure of a GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor matrix optical switch is presented for a simplified tree architecture in the viewpoint of optical loss. A low loss, 0.537 dB/cm, pin type substrate is designed by considering the loss due to imputity doping at 1.3 $\mu$m wavelength. The operating voltage and the device length of a reversed ${\Delta}{\beta}$ electro-optic directional coupler(EODC) swith which is a cross-point device of the 4${\times}$4 matrix optical switch and the bending loss of rib waveguide are caculated as functions of waveguide parameters and bending parameters. There is an optimum bending radius for some waveguide parameters. It is recommened that higher optical confinement conditions such as wide waveguide width and higher rib-height should be chosen for structural parameters of a low loss and a process insensitive 4${\times}$4 matris optical switch. A 4${\times}$4 optical matrix switch which has a 3 dB loss and a 12 volt operating voltage is designed.

Objective: This experiment was studied the effects of various levels of crude glycerin (CG) in dairy goat diet on daily intake, milk yield, milk composition, some physical properties and some quality changes of goat milk after sterilization. Methods: Twelve 75% Saanen dairy goats (body weight = $49{\pm}3kg$; days in milk = $60{\pm}12d$) were randomly assigned in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of three experimental diets consisting of 0%, 5%, and 10% CG (dry matter basis) which were formulated to meet or exceed the nutrient requirements of goats. Experimental dairy goats were evaluated for feed and milk yield. Milk samples were analyzed for their composition, including fatty acids, casein profile, fat globule size, and color, and were sterilized to evaluate milk heat stability. Results: There were no significant differences between 0% and 5% CG treatments infeed. Increasing CG supplementation from 0% to 5% increased milk yield from $2.38{\pm}0.12$ to $2.64{\pm}0.23kg/goat/d$. In addition, milk samples from 5% CG treatment had the highest total solids, fat content and lactose content, and largest fat globule size. Increasing CG to 10% resulted in a decrease in milk fat. After sterilizing at $116^{\circ}C$, $F_0=3min$, goat milk samples from 5% CG treatment had slightly higher sediment content and comparatively higher degree of browning. Conclusion: Considering milk yield, milk fat content and quality of sterilized milk, 5% CG supplementation in a total mixed ration has a potential for implementation in dairy goats.

In this paper, it is designed a microstrip U-slotted patch antenna with double resonances to enhance the bandwidth. In the design of an U-slotted patch antenna, there are considered the input impedance, the width of patch, the total length of the slot, the height of foam, the position of the probe and the radius of feed pin. The broadband behavior of antenna can be obtained by adjusting the length and width of the slot. The radiation from the antenna is linear polarized with the E-paine parallel to the vertical slots and the H plane parallel to horizontal slot. The radiation pattern, impedance locus, and VSWR of the antenna are calculated using "ENSEMBLE" software, and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the bandwidth for VSWR $\le$ 2:1 is about 28.6%, a directivity 14.18dBi at 6.040GHz. 6.040GHz.

This study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobiological effects of supercritical fluid extracts (SFEs) and Marc methanol extracts (SFMs) from Cinnamomum verum. Reducing effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and ABTS radical scavenging were investigated. SFM exhibited higher antioxidant activities in DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. Measurements of the antimicrobial activity were used for Gram-positive bacteria (four strains) and Gram-negative bacteria (four strains). The antimicrobial activities of the SFE and SFM against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria revealed that SFE had a higher inhibition zone than SFM. Cinnamaldehyde, the active compound of C. verum, had a higher content in SFM (35% at 300 bar, $30^{\circ}C$) than methanol extracts from C. verum (0.5%). These results indicate that not only SFE oil, but also SFM, could be a good source for the food industry.

The production of GABA was optimized by co-cultivation of immobilized Lactobacillus plantarum K154 (ILK) with Ceriporia lacerata cultures. The mycelial culture of C. lacerata was performed in a defined medium containing 3% glucose, 3% soybean flour, and 0.15% $MgSO_4$ in a submerged condition for 7 days at $25^{\circ}C$, resulting in the production of 29.7 g/L mycelia, 3.1 g/L exopolysaccharides, 2% (w/w) ${\beta}$-glucan, 68.96 unit/mL protease, and 10.37 unit/mL ${\alpha}$-amylase. ILK in C. lacerata culture showed viable cell counts of $3.13{\time}10^9CFU/mL$ for immobilized cells and $1.48{\time}10^8CFU/mL$ for free cells after 1 day. GABA production in the free and immobilized cells was 9.96 mg/mL and 6.30 mg/mL, respectively, after 7 days. A recycling test of ILK in the co-fermentation was consequently performed five times at $30^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, resulting in the highest production of GABA. GABA could also be efficiently overproduced by co-cultivation with the produced polysaccharides, ${\beta}$-glucan, peptides, and probiotics.

The study was conducted to investigate the infestation and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes on Chinese yam (Dioscorea batatas) in Andong, Korea. Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita was the most prevalent nematode species which is found from 43 yam fields (81.1%) with high population densities (average of 450 juveniles/$300cm^3$). Other nematodes, root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.) and pin nematode (Paratylenchus spp.) were less problematic. Density of juveniles (J2) of M. incognita was $10\;J2/300cm^3$ by August, then increased to 274 in September and 624 in October. The highest J2 density was found at the soil depth between 40 and 50 cm ($1,840\;J2/300cm^3$). M. incognita was able to infest yam tuber down to a depth of 70 cm and developed galls outside and brown spots inside. The highest number of females were found at 40-50 cm (79 females/10 cm piece) tuber from the top.

The purpose of this study was to determine the of effective concentration of procaine iontophoresis for durarion of cutaneous local anesthesia. Forty-five healthy students with an age range of 19 to 34 years$(21\pm2.7)$, were participated in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned into 5 groups. Bach 9 subjects received iontophoresis on the flexor surface of dominant forearm with soft cotton pad $(3.5\times3.5cm)$ soaked in 2ml of $2\%$ (pH 5.28), $4\%$ (pH 5.12), $8\%$ (pH 4,98), $16\%$ (pH 4.72), $32\%$ (pH 4.52) procaine hydrochloride solution at 4mA for 10 minutes (total current 40mA min) using anodal direct current. The study was performed in a randomized, double-blind design, After procaine iontophoresis, the duration of anesthesia were evaluated at five minute intervals on five random locations in the iontophoretically area using a 21-gauge sterile hypodermic needle pressed with 1mm invagination unitl sharp pin-pricking pain sensation returned. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA to determine significant differences between groups. Duncan post hoc was performed at level .01. The relationship between anesthetic duration and procaine concentration was assessed with Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficients. ANOVA tests showed significant differences in the anesthetic duration between the concentration of procaine solution (p<.001). Procaine iontophoresis with $4\%$ concentration produced cutaneous Socal anesthesia of significantly longer duration(15.56 min) than iontophoresis with $2\%,\;8\%,\;16\%$, and $32\%$ of procaine GCl(p<.01). Whereas the anesthetic duration had no correlation with concentration of procaine solution (r=-0.41, NS). These results support the $4\%$ procaine solution was an effective concentration of iontophoresis for induced cutaneous local anesthesia.

The dropwort was fermented by steeping with brown sugar, fructose syrup or oligosaccharide at room temperature for 2 month, and then stored at cold room for 6 months. The dropwort extracts prepared with three different sugars showed more than $50^{\circ}$Brix, below pH 4.0 and about $0.7\%$ titratable acidity. The dropwort extract with brown sugar showed $1.6{\times}10^6$ viable cell counts and $21.2\%$ reducing sugar. Formation of $CO_2$ gas was superior to the dropwort fermented with brown sugar or oligosaccharide. The dropwort extract with fructose syrup indicated $9.0{\times}10^3$ viable cell counts and $50.1\%$ reducing sugar. Microorganism present in fermented dropwort extract was effectively pasteurized by the addition of $3\%$ citric acid and heat-treatment at $85^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, resulting in the less production of $CO_2$ gas. The dropwort extracts prepared with brownsugar, fructose syrup or oligosaccharide was suitable for the standardization that required for plant extract in Korea Food Codex.

Volume survey for earthwork is conducted periodically at every month at large scaled construction sites for request payment for the construction. Currently, the earthwork volume is calculated on the overlapped drawing for two cross sections which were created by new and previous surveying data observed by GPS and TS. However the survey is required lots of time and expenses as it is a pin-point surveying method thus surveyors intend to get data only for the heavy undulated topographic features chosen by himself to save time and expenses. Consequently, it causes poor results due to low dense measurement as well as it's not matched with the results by another surveyors. As a result, the conflicts related in earthwork volume calculation often arises among the owner, contractors and sub contractors. In this study, we developed a method to get surveying data for fast and accurate volume calculation using 3D Mobile Laser System and conducted an application test. Also we carried out experiments for topographic survey using MLS to judge for the application additionally. The results showed that we could reduce a time for cross section survey from 48 hours to 2 hours and collected high dense data which have 0.2m interval instead of 3m interval compare with existing method. Also we could make a map which has high accuracy within 10cm in horizontal through topographic survey using MLS.
