  • Purpose: To examine the effects of Tai Chi exercise (TCE) on muscle strength, flexibility of low extremities, postural balance and cognition in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Method: A nonequivalent control-group pre and post-test design was used. Of the 30 participants 15 were assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group. The experimental group participated in 8 weeks of TCE which included one day of exercise with instructor on site and 3 days of self-exercise at home guided by a videotape. Results: The 8 weeks of TCE were found to be significantly effective in enhancing strength of low extremities, flexibility of ankles and shoulders, time of tandem stand with eye closed and level on the K-MMSE (Korean mini mental state examination). Conclusion: These results suggest that TCE has positive effects on physical fitness and cognition in patients with PD. Research over an extended period with the TCE intervention is recommended to identify further effects.

  • N형 공핍 모드의 탑 게이트 다결정실리콘 박막 트랜지스터에 비대칭 오프셋 구조를 적용하였다. 이로써 드레인 부근의 전계를 감소시켜, on전류의 큰 손실 없이 누설 전류를 86% 감소시켰다. 박막 트랜지스터는 유리 기판위에 교류 자계 유도 결정화를 이용하여 제작하였고, 마스크 추가 없이 오프셋 구조를 형성하였다. 또한 비정질 실리콘과 n+ 층은 이온 주입을 하지 않고 증착하였다. 이 방법은 능동 구동 디스플레이에서 소비 전력 감소와 이미지 유지에 도움이 될 수 있다.

  • 본 논문에서는 내장형 구조의 통신시스템에 적용할 수 있는 CORBA를 개발하기 위한 방법을 소개한다. 첫째, 통신시스템용 개발언어인 SDL과 CORBA 기반 시스템을 통합하기 위한 SDL 시스템의 통신 프로토콜과 CORBA 통신 프로토콜간의 변환 인터페이스에 대한 방법을 제시한다. 둘째, CORBA의 성능을 최적화하기 위한 객체중개자와 동일 호스트상에서 메시지 전달 오버헤드를 최적화하기 위해 공유 메모리 기반의 연동 프로토콜을 제시한다. 셋째, CORBA기반의 통신시스템용 응용 프로그램 개발에 적합한 서비스에 대하여 설명한다. 본 모델을 기반으로 통신 시스템용 SW플랫폼 하부에 CORBA를 채용할 수 있어 통신시스템의 내부 및 외부에서 분산 처리를 위한 공통 플랫폼으로 사용할 수 있다.

  • In order to detect quarantine plant viruses, we developed reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) primer pairs for five single-stranded (ss) plant RNA viruses that are not currently reported in Korea but could be potential harmful plant viral pathogens. Three viruses such as Chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), Colombian datura virus (CDV), and Tobacco etch virus (TEV) belong to the genus Potyvirus while Chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus (CSNV) and Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) are members of the genus Tospovirus. To design RT-PCR primers, we used reported gene sequences corresponding to the capsid protein and polyprotein for ChiVMV, CDV, and TEV while using nucleocapsid protein regions for CSNV and IYSV. At least two different primer pairs were designed for each virus. Fifteen out of 16 primer pairs were successfully applied in detection of individual quarantine virus with high specificity and efficiency. Taken together, this study provides a rapid and useful protocol for detection of five quarantine viruses.
