The use of biogas as an energy source reduces the chance of possible emission of two greenhouse gases, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$, into the atmosphere at the same time. Its nature of being a reproducible energy source makes its use even more attractive. This research if for the hydrogen production through the steam reforming of the biogas. The biogas utilized 3D-IR matrix burner in which the surface combustion is applied. The nickel catalyst was used inside a reformer. Parametric screening studies were achieved as Steam/Carbon ratio, biogas component ratio, Space velocity and Reformer temperature. When the condition of Steam/Carbon ratio, $CH_4/CO_2$ ratio, Space velocity and Refomer temperature were 3.25, 60%:40%, 19.32L/$g{\cdot}hr$ and $700^{\circ}C$ respectively, the hydrogen concentration and methane conversion rate were showed maximum values. Under the condition mentioned above, $H_2$ concentration was 73.9% and methane conversion rate was 98.9%.

Follicular carcinomas are the second most common form of thyroid cancer, accounting for 10 to 20% of all thyroid cancers. Follicular carcinomas have a propensity to metastasize via the bloodstream, spreading to bone, lungs, liver, and elsewhere. We described the case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with swelling of the left preauricular area, which was a consequence of a metastatic follicular carcinoma of the masticator space. Plain films showed illdefined erosive bony changes from the left condylar head to the mandibular notch. Contrast-enhanced CT images showed a well circumscribed round mass with well enhancement within left masticator space. On MR images, the mass was heterogenously hyperintense to the muscle on T2-weighted images and isointense or hyperintense to the muscle on Tl-weighted images, and showed good enhancement on contrast-enhanced Tl-weighted images. Upon microscopic examination, the metastatic mass was found to be composed of fairly uniform cells forming small follicles containing colloid, showing capsular and vascular invasion.

Quite recently, it has been suggested that the interaction of the solar wind with Mercury results in the variation in the solar wind velocity in the Earth's neighborhood during inferior conjunctions with Mercury. This suggestion has important implications both on the plasma physics of the interplanetary space and on the space weather forecast. In this study we have attempted to answer a question of whether the claim is properly tested. We confirm that there are indeed ups and downs in the profile of the solar wind velocity measured at the distance of 1 AU from the Sun. However, the characteristic attribute of the variation in the solar wind velocity during the inferior conjunctions with Mercury is found to be insensitive to the phase of the solar cycles, contrary to an earlier suggestion. We have found that the cases of the superior conjunctions with Mercury and of even randomly chosen data sets rather result in similar features. Cases of Venus are also examined, where it is found that the ups and downs with a period of ~ 10 to 15 days can be also seen. We conclude, therefore, that those variations in the solar wind velocity turn out to be a part of random fluctuations and have nothing to do with the relative position of inner planets. At least, one should conclude that the solar wind velocity is not a proper observable modulated by inner planets at the distance of 1 AU from the Sun in the Earth's neighborhood during inferior conjunctions.

Platinum is a well known element which shows a significant electrocatalytic activity in many important applications. In glucose sensor, because of the poisoning effect of reaction intermediates and the low surface area, the electrocatalytic activity towards the glucose oxidation is low which cause the low sensitivity. So, we fabricate a nanoporous PtZn alloy electrode by deposition-dissolution method. It provides a high active surface and a large enzyme encapsulating space per unit area when it used for an enzymatic glucose sensor. Glucose oxidase was immobilized on the electrode surface by capping with PEDOT composite and PPDA. The composite and PPDA also can exclude the interference ion such as ascorbic acid and uric acid to improve the selectivity. The surface area was determined by cyclic voltametry method and the surface structure and the element were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), respectively. The sensitivity is $13.5{\mu}A/mM\;cm^2$. It is a remarkable value with such simply prepared senor has high selectivity.

$Mn_{12}O_{12}(O_2CCH_2CH_2CH_2Cl)_{16}(H_2O)_4]$ (noted as $Mn_{12}$-BuCl), a new polynuclear complex of manganese chlorobutyrate has been successfully prepared by substitution of acetate with 4-chlorobutyric acid. The $Mn_{12}-BuCl$ crystallizes into triclinic space group P-1 with a = 14.5560(11) ${\AA}$, b = 14.5819(11) TEX>${\AA}$, c = 27.265(2) ${\AA}$, ${\alpha}\;=\;84.1140(10)^{\circ}\;,\;{\beta}\;=\;88.805(2)^{\circ},\;{\gamma}\;=\;89.8820(10)^{\circ}$, and Z = 2. The local environments of manganese 3+ and 4+ ions of the title compound are close to those of other $Mn_{12}$ compounds. The electrochemical data for $Mn_{12}-BuCl$ involve reversible reactions of two-electron reductions. The $Mn_{12}-BuCl$ also presents magnetic relaxation below 10 K implying that each molecule behaves as a single molecule magnet.

백색증(albinism)이란 신체 내 melanin 합성의 부분적, 혹은 완전한 결핍에 의해 일어나는 질환이다. Melanin은 신체 내에서 머리카락, 눈, 피부 등에 분포하기 때문에 백색증 환자는 밝은 금발이나 갈색의 머리카락과 하얀 피부, 붉거나 갈색의 홍채를 갖는 특징적인 외모를 지닌다. 백색증 환자는 변이된 유전자 및 임상적 특징에 따라 크게 전신성 백색증, 안성 백색증, 부분적 백색증으로 나뉘며 그 밖에 많은 하위군이 존재하고 그에 따른 치료법이나 치과적 주의사항도 달라진다. 본 증례는 치아의 발육지연 여부 평가를 주소로 내원한 정신 지체가 동반된 전신성 백색증 환아로서 치아 발거 등의 관혈적 시술 및 보존수복, 공간 유지장치 등의 치료를 통해 양호한 결과를 보였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

현대 사회에서의 항만공간은 과거와는 달리 단순히 항구로써의 기능만을 위한 공간이 아닌 주거, 레저, 관광 등 다양한 기능이 복합화 되고 있다. 그에 따라 더욱 많은 사람들이 밀집하는 공간으로 변모해 가고 있다. 반면 항만 공간은 지형적, 환경적 특성 상 재해에 취약한 공간이기도 하다. 하지만 아직까지 국내에서는 방재 도시계획이 명확히 자리 잡고 있는 실정이 아니다. 따라서 항만공간의 특성을 감안한 방재 도시계획을 강화하고, 이를 통해 안전성을 확보할 필요가 있다.

도시공간에서 토지이용변화는 교통량을 유발하고 이에 따른 교통사고발생이 상호 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있으므로 토지이용변화에 따른 교통사고발생원인 분석은 교통사고저감대책 수립에 중요한 요소로 판단된다. 이에 지방 중소도시인 진주시를 대상으로 5년간(2009년~2013년)의 교통사고 데이터를 주거지역과 상업지역의 사고 발생빈도와 최근린 분석기법에 의한 군집도를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 교통사고의 발생빈도는 봄에 가장 많았고 겨울이 가장 작게 발생하였다. 또한 주간과 야간의 교통사고 발생빈도는 주간이 야간에 비해 조금 더 많이 발생하였으나 교통사고발생 군집도는 야간이 주간에 비해 강하게 나타났다. 그리고 토지용도에 따른 교통사고 군집도 분석에서 상업지역은 계절에 따른 변화가 크지 않았으나 주거지역은 겨울철에 군집밀도가 크게 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 교통사고 유형에 따른 분석 결과 차 대 차의 측면직각추돌사고가 가장 높은 발생빈도를 보였으며 상업지역과 주거지역에 모두 광범위하게 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 도시공간구조에서 교통사고 발생패턴을 파악하는데 중요한 정보가 될 수 있으며, 향후 교통사고저감대책을 수립하는데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 예상된다.

A ranula is a bluish, transparent, and thin-walled swelling in the floor of the mouth. They originate from the extravasation and subsequent accumulation of saliva from the sublingual gland. Ranulas are usually limited to the sublingual space but they sometimes extend to the submandibular space and parapharyngeal space, which is defined as a plunging ranula. A 21-year-old woman presented with a complaint of a large swelling in the left submandibular region. On contrast-enhanced CT images, it dissected across the midline, and extended to the parapharyngeal space posteriorly and to the submandibular space inferiorly. Several septa and a fluid-fluid level within the lesion were also demonstrated. We diagnosed this lesion as a ranula rather than cystic hygroma due to the location of its center and its sublingual tail sign. As plunging ranula and cystic hygroma are managed with different surgical approaches, it is important to differentiate them radiologically.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a pleomorphic soft tissue sarcoma. Three cases of MFH were reported in our study. The first case involved in the right infratemporal fossa of a 32-year-old female was presented. MR imaging revealed a 5.0 × 3.3 cm soft tissue mass of inhomogeneous high signal intensity. The second case was found in the right hard palate of a 66-year-old male. CT demonstrated bone destruction and MR imaging showed a 4 × 4 cm sized soft tissue mass of heterogeneous high signal intensity. The final case was found in the left masticator space of a 37-year-old male. The CT image showed a large mass with massive bone destruction of the left mandibular ramus, while the MRI displayed a soft tissue mass, 8 cm diameter. Our cases exhibited the general features of MFH. MRI is essential in the imaging of MFH, namely to depict tumor borders and demonstrate relationships with adjacent structures.
