  • Though the planar gradient coils, designed by the magnetic energy minimization procedure, have smaller inductance than conventional gradient coils, the planar gradient oils often suffer from their poor magnetic field linearity. Scaling the spatial frequencies of the current density function designed by the magnetic energy minimization procedure, magnetic field linearity of the planar gradient coils can be featly improved with small sacrifice of gradient coil inductance.

  • 최근 임상용 LVAD의 계속된 발전으로 인해 환자들의 삶이 연장되었다. 그러나 LVAD가 환자의 삶을 연장하였지만, 우심실 심부전증을 야기 시켰고, 결론적으로 환자들은 RVAD가 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 이유로 장시간 사용할 수 있는 BVAD의 도입이 요구 되어졌다. 최근 BVAD에 관련된 연구들을 보면 장시간 사용을 위한 원심 BVAD의 디자인과 BVAD에서의 누수 정도를 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BVAD의 누수를 파악하기 위한 속도 데이터와 용적당 흐름 비율의 계산을 CFD를 사용하여 해석적으로 조사하고자 하였다. CFD의 해석 결과 틈새부위의 회전수가 증가 할수록 혈액의 흐름을 방해하는 역류가 증가하고 유량도 줄어들어, 틈새부위의 누수량이 회전속도의 변화에 의존된다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • The objective of the present study was to analyze genetic variation and characteristics in rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) using amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP) method as molecular genetic technique, to evaluate the usefulness of AFLP as genetic markers, and to compared the efficiency of agarose and polyacrylamide sequencing gels. The amplified products were performed by agarose and sequencing gel electrophoresis to detect AFLP band patterns, respectively. Using 9 primer combinations, total of 141 AFLP bands were produced, 108 bands(82.4%) of which were polymorphic in agarose gels. In sequencing gels, total of 288 bands were generated, and 220 bands (76.4%) were polymorphic. The level of bandsharing(BS) ranged from 0.18 to 0.32 for the 9 primer combinations tested, with a mean of 0.24. Consequently, AFLP markers of these rainbow trout could be used as genetic information such as species identification, genetic relationship or analysis of genome structure, and selection aids for genetic improvement of economically importment traits in fish species.

  • The hospital biomedical engineering team is responsible for establishing and regulating the Medical Device Management Program (MEMP) to ensure that medical devices are safe and reliable. As technology advances, medical devices such as artificial intelligence and precision medicine are developing into a form that allows connection between objects anytime, anywhere, and as various technologies converge, internal and external security threats continue to increase. In this paper, we present a study of the Medical Device Management Program (Secure-MEMP) method, considering that the security threat of medical devices continues to increase due to advances in technology.

  • The current Covid-19 pandemic has changed the entire world and bought so many unprecedented challenges to the scientific community. More than 5 million people died due to the SARS-COV-2 outbreak. For many thousands of years, ginseng, the traditional herb has been used for various infectious diseases by traditional healers. Ginseng showed promising antiviral effects by modulating both natural and acquired immunity. Ginseng might be used as a potential therapeutic agent to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection along with the vaccine. In this current review, we offer an alternative approach for SARS-COV-2 prevention during this unprecedented pandemic.

  • In this paper, the purpose is evaluation of the effect of using fractal feature in machine learning based pancreatic tumor classification. We used the data that Pancreas CT series 469 case including 1995 slice of benign and 1772 slice of malignant. Feature selection is implemented from 109 feature to 7 feature by Lasso regularization. In Fractal feature, fractal dimension is obtained by box-counting method, and hurst coefficient is calculated range data of pixel value in ROI. As a result, there were significant differences in both benign and malignancies tumor. Additionally, we compared the classification performance between model without fractal feature and model with fractal feature by using support vector machine. The train model with fractal feature showed statistically significant performance in comparison with train model without fractal feature.

  • Self-powered sensors play an important role in everyday life, and they cover a wide range of topics. These sensors are meant to measure the amount of relevant motion and transform the biomechanical activities into electrical signals using triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) since they are sensitive to external stimuli such as pressure, temperature, wetness, and motion. The present advancement of TENGs-based self-powered wearable, implantable, and patchable sensors for healthcare monitoring, human body motion, and medication delivery systems was carefully emphasized in this study. The use of TENG technology to generate electrical energy in real-time using self-powered sensors has been the topic of considerable research among various leading scholars. TENGs have been used in a variety of applications, including biomedical and healthcare physical sensors, wearable devices, biomedical, human-machine interface, chemical and environmental monitoring, smart traffic, smart cities, robotics, and fiber and fabric sensors, among others, as efficient mechanical-to-electric energy conversion technologies. In this evaluation, the progress accomplished by TENG in several areas is extensively reviewed. There will be a discussion on the future of self-powered sensors.

  • In water resource management, data prediction is performed using artificial intelligence, and companies, governments, and institutions continue to attempt to efficiently manage resources through this. LSTM is a model specialized for processing time series data, which can identify data patterns that change over time and has been attempted to predict groundwater level data. However, groundwater level data can cause sen-sor errors, missing values, or outliers, and these problems can degrade the performance of the LSTM model, and there is a need to improve data quality by processing them in the pretreatment stage. Therefore, in pre-dicting groundwater data, we will compare the LSTM model with the MSE and the model after normaliza-tion through distribution, and discuss the important process of analysis and data preprocessing according to the comparison results and changes in the results.
