Color Display Tube (CDT) used in computer monitors, consists of many components. Deflection Yoke(DY) among them supplies the vertical and horizontal magnetic fields so that the spatial trajectories of electron beams are deflected according to the synchronization signals. If the magnetic fields are not correctly formed, there will be color blurring or blooming by a mis-convergence of each beam and the color image on screen may not be clear. Therefore, in the manufacture of DY. its quality is strictly examined to get the desired convergence and the occurred mis-convergence can be cured by sticking ferrite sheets on the inner part of DY. However, because it needs expert's knowledge and experience to find the proper position of the sheet, this article introduces an intelligent controller that the knowledge-base represented by a neuro-fuzzy model is used to find the optimal position of the ferrite sheet for the convergence.

In this paper, w epropose a new mehtod to represent the shape and to recognize the object. The shape description and the matching is implemented by using the distance transform on the morphological skeleton. The employed distance transform is the chamfer (3,4) distance transform, because the chamfer distance transform (CDT) has an approximate value to the euclidean distance. The 2-D object can be represented by means of the distribution of the distance transform on the morphological skeleton, the number of skeletons, the sum of the CDT, and the other features are employed as the mtching parameters. The matching method has the invariant features (rotation, translation, and scaling), and then the method is used effectively for recognizing the differently-posed objects and/or marks of the different shape and size.

Purpose: Thermal sensory test as an essential part of quantitative sensory testing (QST) has been recognized as a useful tool in the evaluation of the trigeminal nerve function. Normative data in the orofacial region have been reported but the data on differences in the test site, sex and ethnicity are still insufficient. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the normal range of orofacial thermal QST data in the healthy Korean women, and assess sex difference of thermal perception in the orofacial regions. Methods: Thermal QST was conducted on 20 healthy women participants (mean age, 26.4 years; range, 21 to 34 years). The thermal thresholds (cold detection threshold, CDT; warm detection threshold, WDT; cold pain threshold, CPT; and heat pain threshold, HPT) were measured bilaterally at the 5 trigeminal sites (the forehead, cheek, mentum, lower lip and tongue tip). The normative thermal thresholds of women in the orofacial region were evaluated using one-way ANOVA and compared with the previously reported data from age- and site-matched 30 healthy men (mean age, 26.1 years; range, 23 to 32 years) using two-way ANOVA. One experienced operator performed the tests of both sexes and all tests were done in the same condition except the time variability. Results: Women showed significant site differences for the CDT (p<0.001), WDT (p<0.001), and HPT (p=0.047) in the orofacial region. The CDT (p<0.001) and the CPT (p=0.007) presented significant sex difference unlike the WDT and the HPT. Conclusions: The thermal sensory evaluation in the orofacial region should be considered in the context of site and sex and the normative data in this study could be useful for assessment of the sensory abnormalities in the clinical setting.

The initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication requires assembly of the pre-replicative complex (Pre-RC) through the concerted action of Orc, Cdc6, Cdt1 and Mcm2-7 complex during G1 phase. The pre-RC assembly licenses individual replication origins for the initiation of DNA replication and sufficient number of the pre-RC is essential for proper progression of S phase. However, it is not well known how cells recognize the completion of the pre-RC assembly before G1-S transition. In order to understand the cellular responses to the defects in pre-RC assembly, we depleted the known components of pre-RC proteins using the small interference RNAs in HeLa cells. Although the defects of pre-RC assembly by the depletion of the pre-RC proteins such as Orc2, Cdt1, Mcm2 & Mcm10 did not elicit the activation of Chk1- or Chk2-dependent checkpoint pathways, these cells still showed significant decrease in the cellular level of Cdc25A proteins. These results suggests that a novel checkpoint pathway exist in HeLa cells, which is not dependent upon Chk1 or Chk2 proteins and play essential roles in the cellular responses to the defects in the pre-RC assembly. Also, among those four proteins tested in this study, the depletion of Mcm10 and Cdt1 proteins significantly increased the apoptotic cell death in HeLa cells, suggesting that these proteins not only play roles in the pre-RC assembly, but also are involved in the checkpoint responses to the defects in the pre-RC assembly.

본 논문에서는 CDS(Cross-Diamond Search algorithm) 및 CDHSs(Cross-Diamond-Hexagonal Search algorithms)의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 탐색 영역의 위치에 따라 최적의 탐색 형태를 적용하는 CDTS(Cross-Diamond-Triangle Search algorithm)를 제안한다. CDTS에서 탐색 영역의 위치에 따라 최적의 탐색 형태를 적용하기 위하여 다양한 실험 영상들의 움직임 분포를 먼저 분석하였다. 분석된 움직임 분포에 근거하여 CDTS 구현 시 탐색 영역 중심부에서는 십자 탐색 형태와 다이아몬드 탐색 형태를 적용하고, 나머지 탐색 영역에서는 삼각 탐색 형태와 다이아몬드 탐색 형태를 적용한다. CDTS에서 제안하는 삼각 탐색 형태는 기존 탐색 알고리즘에서 사용하는 대칭형 구조와는 다르게 비대칭형 구조를 가지고 탐색점을 더욱 감소시키는 효과를 제공하면서도 화질을 유지할 수 있다. CDTS를 CDS 및 CDHSs와 비교하였을 때 화질 열화 없이 각각 평균 16.22$\%$ 및 3.09$\%$ 정도의 탐색점 감소 효과가 나타났다.

임상검체에서 분리되는 그람음성 막대균의 제 3세대 cephalosporin에 대한 내성율의 증가는 임상적으로 심각한 문제가 되고 있다. 3세대 cephalosporin 및 monobactam계 항균제에 대한 내성은 주로 Extended-Spectrum ${\beta}$-Lactamase(ESBL)의 생성에 기인한다. 따라서 ESBL 유전자의 정확한 검출은 병원내의 감염경로 파악을 위한 감시 및 역학조사를 위해 필수적이다. 본 연구는 2012년 2월부터 8월까지 대전, 충남, 충북지역의 대학병원으로부터 ESBL 생성 Klebsiella penumoniae 46균주를 분리하여 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)에 따라 ceftazidime (CAZ)과 CAZ/clavulanate (CLA)를 이용한 combination disk test (CDT) 방법에 의해 표현형을 조사하고, 유전형 특이 프라이머를 이용한 multiplex PCR을 수행하여 유전형을 검출하였다. CDT 결과 42균주가 ESBL생성균주로 확인되었다. PCR 결과, 46균주 모두 TEM형이었으며, 37균주는 SHV형, 14균주는 CTX-M형으로 나타났으며 10균주가 TEM, SHV, CTX-M 유전자를 모두 가지고 있었다. Multiplex PCR에 의한 유전형 검출 방법은 임상에서 분리한 ESBL생성 K. penumoniae균주의 감별과 검출에 유용한 방법으로 사료된다.

Background: This pilot study looked into the physical, social, psychological and economic issues of Indian adult cancer survivors. Materials and Methods: Assumed cancer free patients, after cancer directed therapy (CDT), were assessed on the basis of a questionnaire developed by the investigators. The mental status of the survivors was elicited by modified MINI international neuro-psychiatric interview. This cross sectional assessment was conducted as a direct interaction with each patient for 30 to 45 minutes at a cancer hospital in 2012. Results: Thirty one adult cancer survivors participated in this study. Median age was 53 years with a median follow up duration of 21.8 months (Range 2.3-194.1 months). The majority (68%) did not receive financial support for treatment. Median interval after CDT to start of activity of daily living was 1.5 months (range: 0-24 months). Fatigue and loss of appetite were reported by 52% and 29% respectively. The cancer diagnosis and its treatment adversely impacted the financial condition in 42% of patients. Nineteen percent each showed social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder and another 13% patients reported depression. Conclusions: This prospective assessment highlights survivorship issues and the need to address those issues particularly in the context of developing countries where resources and manpower are limited.
