Purpose: Although heated tobacco product (HTP) use among adolescents is an emerging public health problem, little is known about the frequency and quantity of HTP use. Thus, we investigated the associations between the frequency and quantity of HTP use and smoking characteristics (i.e., combustible cigarette [CC] and electronic cigarette [EC] use, and attempts to quit smoking) among CC-smoking adolescents. Methods: We analyzed nationally representative data from 2,470 Korean adolescents who were current CC smokers. To investigate our aim, we conducted multinomial logistic and logistic regression analyses. Results: We found that daily and heavier CC users had greater likelihoods of more frequent and heavier HTP use. In addition, dual users of CCs and ECs were more likely to use HTPs more frequently and heavily than CC users who did not use ECs. Moreover, daily EC users had the highest risk of frequent and heavy HTP use. The frequency and quantity of HTP use were not associated with attempts to quit smoking. Compared to CC-only use, dual use of CCs and HTPs was not associated with quitting attempts, and triple use of CCs, ECs, and HTPs was associated with a lower likelihood of quitting attempts. Conclusion: HTP use was less likely to displace CC use and promote attempts to quit smoking. Thus, strict regulations are required to prevent the promotion of HTPs as a substitute for CCs or as a means of quitting smoking. Additionally, health professionals should consider preventive interventions for HTP, as well as CC and EC use among adolescents.

Two turbulent reaction models of the premixed CC1$_4$/CH$_4$/air mixture are successfully incorporated in a 3-dimensional computer program and is applied for Dow Chemical incinerator equipped with two main off-center burners. The first reaction model is fast chemistry model(model 1), in which chemical reaction is governed by the turbulent mixing itself. And the second one is nonequilibrium model(model 2), where the effect of the chemical kinetics due to the presence of CC1$_4$is considered by the incorporation of the burning velocity data of CC1$_4$. The second model not only shows the flame inhibition trend due to the presence CC1$_4$compound, but also predicts qualitatively the vortical stratification of the CC1$_4$concentration appeared experimentally at the kiln exit. Other comparisions of two models are made in detail.

this paper describes the design and implementation of node scheduling for MX Server that is CC-NUMA System COMSIX, the operating system of MX Server, is designed to suit for CC-NUMA Architecture. MX Server consists of up to 8 nodes, and each node is connected by SCI ring. This node scheduling scheme considers data locality for performance improvement of Oracle8i DBMS on the CC-NUMA architecture. For DBMS such as Oracle8i, a multi-threaded process may be run to tie on particular disk. We have developed a CG binding function that the multi-threaded process bound the node. Currently, We don't have an available CC-NUMA Platform. Instead of MX Server, we developed the Node scheduling scheme for multi-threaded process to suit server platform on the PC test-bed and tested completely.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a software tool, PGA-CC (Projection of hydrology via Grid-based Assessment for Climate Change) to evaluate the present hydrologic cycle and the future watershed hydrology by climate change. PGA-CC is composed of grid-based input data pre-processing module, hydrologic cycle calculation module, output analysis module, and output data post-processing module. The grid-based hydrological model was coded by Fortran and compiled using Compaq Fortran 6.6c, and the Graphic User Interface was developed by using Visual C#. Other most elements viz. Table and Graph, and GIS functions were implemented by MapWindow. The applicability of PGA-CC was tested by assessing the future hydrology of South Korea by HadCM3 SRES B1 and A2 climate change scenarios. For the whole country, the tool successfully assessed the future hydrological components including input data and evapotranspiration, soil moisture, surface runoff, lateral flow, base flow etc. From the spatial outputs, we could understand the hydrological changes both seasonally and regionally.

Cutter Interference(or part surface gouging) is one of the most critical problems in NC machining of sculptured surfaces. Presented in this paper is and algorithmic procedure that converts CC data obtained from a compound surface(several surfaces without topological relationship) into interference-free CL data. The interference handling procedure consists of following steps: (1) Z-map model is constructed from input surfaces. (2) Interference sources are detected using local properties of the sources. (3) Interference regions are completely identified based on global tests for neighboring CC points of the interference sources (4) Cutter paths are reconstructed after removing the CC data in interference regions, while avoiding any new interferences.

In this paper, we describe an implementation of the B-Link bus interface logic for a directory controller and a remote access cash controller in the SCI-based CC-NUMA multimedia server developed by ETRI . The CC-NUMA multimedia server is composed of a number of Pentium III SHV nodes and a SCI interconnection network. To communicate with remote nodes, each node has a CC-Agent which consists of a processor bus interface(PIF). a directory controller(DC), a remote access cash controller(RC), and two SCI 1ink controllers(LCs). The B-Link bus interface logic is developed for a directory controller and a remote access cash controller in order to communicate with a SCI link controller on a B-Link bus. It consists of a sending master controller a receiving slave controller, and asynchronous data buffers. And It performs a self-arbitration, a data packet transmission, a queue allocation, an early terminal ion. and a cut-through data path.

In order to improve the accuracy of particle tracking prediction techniques near the Korean Strait, this study compared and analyzed a particle tracking model based on a seawater flow numerical model and a machine learning based on a particle tracking model using field observation data. The data used in the study were the surface drifter buoy movement trajectory data observed in the Korea Strait, prediction data by machine learning (linear regression, decision tree) using the tide and wind data from three observation stations (Gageo Island, Geoje Island, Gyoboncho), and prediciton data by numerical models (ROMS, MOHID). The above three data were compared through three error evaluation methods (Correlation Coefficient (CC), Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE), and Normalized Cumulative Lagrangian Separation (NCLS)). As a final result, the decision tree model had the best prediction accuracy in CC and RMSE, and the MOHID model had the best prediction results in NCLS.

Purpose: To evaluate the detector dependency in the various collimator size for Stereotactic Radiosugery (SRS). Materials and Methods: This study was performed with 6 MV photon beam (Varian 21EX, Varian, US) and the measurement detectors are used by ion chamber CC01, CC13 (Wellhofer, Germany) and stereotactic diode detector (SFD, Wellhofer, Germany). SRS collimator size was used by ${\varphi}$5, 10, 20, 30 mm (Brain Lab, Germany). Percentage depth dose (PDD) was measured at SSD 100 cm and field size 10×10 cm from individual detectors. Ouput factor was measured by using same setup of PDD and with maximum dose depth. Data was normalized at field size $10{\times}10\;cm$. Beam profile was measured at SSD 100 cm in SRS collimator ${\varphi}$10, 30 mm and field $10{\times}10\;cm$ and a comparison of FWHM (full width half maximum), penumbra width (20~80%). Results: The CC13 detector was overestimated 16% than other detectors from the PDD in the 5 mm collimator. Output factors were underestimated CC01 28%, CC13 72% in the 5 mm collimator and CC01 9.6%, CC13 25% in the 10 mm collimator than the SFD. Maximum difference was 3% at the FWHM of the dose profile in the 10 mm collimator and difference of the 30 mm collimator was 0% at the FWHM. Penumbra width was increased CC01 122%, CC13 194% in the 10 mm collimator and CC01 68%, CC13 185% in the 30 mm collimator than the SFD. Conclusion: It is very important for accurate dosimetry to select a detector in small field. The SFD was considered with the most accurate dosimeter for small collimator dosimetry in this study.

The chordal ring based CC-NUMA system contains many links to transmit transactions between a local node and a remote node because of its structural characteristics. However, the inclination that the transactions concentrate on the ring link increases both the traffic of the ring link and the response time, which degrades the overall performance of the chordal ring based CC-NUMA system. In this paper we suggest a new remote cache replacement policy that considers both the number of total links and the number of ring links to traverse for the transactions. Our proposed replacement policy can balance data between the ring link and the chordal link properly because it reflects the characteristics of chordal ring based CC-NUMA system well.

Chemokines is a small protein that plays a major role in inflammatory reactions and viral infections as a chemotactic factor of cytokines involved in innate immunity. Most of the chemokines belong to the chemokine groups CC and CXC. To investigate the immune system of the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), an expression pattern specifically induced in the early developmental stages of analysis is examined using qRT-PCR. We also examined tissue-specific expression of both CC and CXC chemokine in healthy olive flounder samples. CC and CXC chemokine shows increased expression after immune-related organs are formed compared to expression during early development. CC chemokine was more highly expressed in the fin, but CXC chemokine showed higher expression in the gills, spleen, intestines, and stomach. Spatial and temporal expression analysis of CC and CXC chemokine were performed following viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection. CC chemokine showed high expression in the gills, which are respiratory organs, whereas CXC chemokine was more highly expressed in the kidneys, an immune-related organ. These results suggest that CC and CXC chemokine play an important role in the immune response of the olive flounder, and may be used as basic data for the immunological activity and gene analysis of it as well as other fish.
