We will present work done at our institution on the use of MRI in breast cancer. The presentation will start by describing a compartmental model that has been used by us since 1993 in studying tumor vascular function in animal models and humans. The employment of this method for diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and disease prognosis in breast cancer will be presented with examples.

The aim of this study is to examine the characteristics of facade expression designed by Kim. Han-sup, a key architect in the regional modern architecture movement in Gwang-ju and Jeonnam from the 1950's to 1960's. The study begins with the architectural background and thoughts of Kim. Han-sup through literature reviews and introduces an interview with Han. chong-un, a former college student and employee of Kim, which explains the aesthetic architecture that appeared in his design of facades that was reasonably applied to materials, technology, structure and function in line with the economically tough period in Korea. Furthermore, in order to investigate the characteristics of his facade expression, detailed analysis items will be derived from precedent studies. This study will attempt to conclude with statements that his aesthetic architecture can be defined as an emphasis on formative mass by contrasting between basic rectangular forms, implementation with detailed three-dimensional facade by extruding differently vertical and horizontal structural lines and with the pursuit of decoration through compartmental faces on his 12 representative architectural works.

The objective of the present study was to develop an equivalent circuit model of glucose kinetics including the hepatic glucose balance functions which were neglected in the previous compartmental models. Using this circuit model, the insulin resistivity parameter and hepatic glucose sensitivity parameter were estimated in optimal fitting of the model based data of glucose and insulin concentration to the reported clinical intravenous glucose tolerance test(IVGTT) data in normal and diabetic subjects. The addition of the hepatic function in the model has improved the overall performance of the simulation. Also, the computed tissue insulin resistivity and the hepatic glucose sensitivity are shown to be significant in distinguishin four clinical groups of normal and diabetic groups.

This paper presents a method that generates alternatives of spatial arrangement for naval ships with limited information. To attain this end, GA (General Arrangement) methodology and GA reports of existing naval ships are analyzed. In order to improve the current naval ship spatial arrangement method that relies on the experience and know-hows of designers, we propose a systematic spatial arrangement process using SLP (Systematic Layout Planning), which determines relative positions of the components by analyzing relationships among them. The proposed method, along with the GA process, is applied to a virtual naval ship and layout alternatives are generated to verify usefulness of the method.
