  • Single phase, narrow beam X-ray attenuation data were obtained using various construction materials concrete, white block, red block, 3 hole block, gypsum board, artificial marble, cement, plate glass, wood, and lead. Tube voltages of 60, 80, 100, 120 kVp were employed and the resulting curves were compared to transmission data found in this report. The shielding methodology and the derivation of equations used for determination of barrier requirements were presented in NCRP 49. We could calculate the X-ray exposed dose after attenuation and thickness of protection barrier in the clinic facilities accordingly. For the purpose of maximizing the benefit/cost ratio to diagnostic shielding, various construction materials must be installed carefully and attnuation rate considered thoroughly.

  • Plant steryl esters have good effects on plasma cholesterol level and are used as functional food ingredient. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) presents mainly in animal foods and has a good benefit and medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are a rapid energy source for human. In this study, we produced the ${\beta}$-sitosterol esters from CLA and MCFAs using various lipases as catalysts. Among lipases, AYS (from Candida rugosa) was the most effective for synthesis of ${\beta}$-sitosterol esters in the presence of water (24.35% conversion) or hexane (25.33% conversion). The second esterification extent was obtained by lipase AK (from Pseudomonas sp), showing 10.26% conversion in water and 15.94% conversion in hexane, respectively. The reaction condition was 1:3 molar ratio (${\beta}$-sitosterol:fatty acid, 1:3) and stirred (175 rpm) at 55$^{\circ}C$ in water bath shaker for 48h.

  • This study analyzes performance-weight ratio of polycarbonate(PC) pigpen and steel pigpen. The finite element models using the ANSYS program described in this paper is attractive not only because it shows excellent accuracy in analysis but also it shows the benefit of parameter study by using APDL. We have performed a parameter study by the width variation of PC pigpen. And we compared and analyzed the results of PC pigpen and steel pigpen. From the numerical examples, we confirmed the validity of PC pigpen.

  • This paper describes a study undertaken to determine the effect of ground calcium carbonate(GCC) cement mortar with respect to sulfate attack. It were investigated visual appearance and expansion of cement mortars with GCC immersed in artificial solution of 5% sodium sulfate during 510days. According to increasing replacement of GCC, the expansion ratio was comparatively superior to GCC0 mortar specimen. The test results indicated that cement mortars with GCC was benefit the resistance of sulfate attack due to micro filler effect.

  • This study analyzes performance-cost ratio of various polycarbonate(PC) pigpen. The finite element models using the ANSYS program described in this paper is attractive not only because it shows excellent accuracy in analysis but also it shows the benefit of parameter study by using APDL. We have performed various parameter study of total 6 models. And we compared and analyzed the results of 6 models. From the numerical examples, we recommend model M2. Model M2 is PC pigpen with steel in PC.

  • CFD data compression methods based on Full-3D and Quasi-1D supercompact multiwavelets are presented. Supercompact wavelets method provide advantageous benefit that it allows higher order accurate representation with compact support. Therefore it avoids unnecessary interaction with remotely located data across singularities such as shock. Full-3D wavelets entails appropriate cross-derivative scaling function & wavelets, hence it can allow highly accurate multi-spatial data representation. Quasi-1D method adopt 1D multiresolution by alternating the directions rather than solving huge transformation matrix in Full-3D method. Hence efficient and relatively handy data processing can be conducted. Several numerical tests show swift data processing as well as high data compression ratio for CFD simulation data.

  • Previous studies in various medical specialties have shown that fewer than 50% of abstracts presented at meetings are subsequently published, but only a few studies have been performed in pediatric dentistry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of publication of articles based on abstracts presented at the Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (K.A.P.D) spring and fall Congress for 2001 to 2011. The abstracts for both oral and poster presentation were collected. A RISS search was then performed to identify the publication of full-length articles based on those titles of the abstracts. A total of 822 abstract presentations were done at the 22 meetings (543 as oral presentation, 279 as poster presentations). Of these, 42.2% (347) was subsequently published. The publication ratio for orally presented abstracts was 50.6% (275), poster presentations 25.8% (72). We suggest that presenters at these meetings should expand their abstracts into full manuscripts and seek to publish them in peer-reviewed journals for the benefit of the profession.

  • Demand Side Management (DSM) activities have been designed to encourage customers to modify their patterns of electricity consumption including the timing and level of electricity demand. The role of DSM has been more and more important in the point of social energy utilization on the limited resources. The objectives of DSM are generally related to load reductions and generation cost savings. This paper presents an approach to B/C analysis to evaluate the impact of DSM programs especially on the strategic conservation and the load management programs. The proposed approach embedding the existing B/C analyses is applicable to the new electricity market. Case studies show the B/C ratio and the avoided cost due to the impact of DSM programs.

  • Autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) is the neuromuscular junction disorder mostly caused by antibody against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR antibody) at the muscle endplate. The goal of treatment is to induce and maintain remission, i.e., absence of symptoms, with the least cost-to-benefit ratio. Although corticosteroids are effective in inducing remission in most patients, they have numerous potentially serious adverse effects with their long-term use. In addition, some patients do not respond or are intolerant to the conventional treatment. In this article, we discuss the difficulties encountered in long-term immunosuppressive treatment of MG, and review useful tips for the use of corticosteroids. Long-term immunosuppressive agents that can be used in steroid-refractory or -dependent patients will be reviewed with their safety profiles and efficacy in MG.
