A 6-year-old spayed, female golden retriever dog was presented with a skin mass on the dorsal region of the right carpus. The cytology result of the region revealed characteristics of mast cell tumors (MCTs). Short wave-infrared fluorescence-guided surgery using Indocyanine green (ICG) was performed to determine the surgical margin of the tumor. ICG was injected intravenously 24 hours before the surgery and the patient was hospitalized and carefully monitored. During the surgery, ICG fluorescence-based surgery was performed to identify the tumor and the surgical margin. The tumor was visible, and the skin mass was resected using NIR device for the guidance of the surgical margin of the tumor. Once the resection was complete, the surgical site was again inspected with SWIR fluorescence imaging to identify residual tumor cells. The resected tumor, using ICG navigation, was classified as low-grade cutaneous MCT and the margin was complete on the histopathological result. We report herein a case of resection of a cutaneous MCT in a dog using SWIR fluorescence imaging ICG which can be potentially used for the identification of tumors and evaluation of the surgical margin for complete resection.

Background: Bovine group A rotavirus (BoRVA) is a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in newborn dairy calves. Only one study has investigated the G and P genotypes among dairy calves in a few regions of China, which were G6 and P[5]. Therefore, data on the prevalence and molecular characteristics of BoRVA in dairy calves in China remains limited. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of BoRVA in dairy calves in China. Methods: 269 dairy calves diarrheic samples from 23 farms in six provinces in China were collected to detect BoRVA using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: 71% of samples were determined to be BoRVA-positive. Two G genotypes (G6, G10) and two P genotypes (P[1], P[5]) were identified, and G6P[1] BoRVA was the predominant strain. Moreover, the VP7 and VP4 gene sequences of these dairy calf BoRVA strains revealed abundant genetic diversity. Interestingly, eight out of 17 complete G6 VP7 sequences were clustered into G6 lineage VI and analysis showed the strains were closely related to Chinese yak BoRVA strains. Conclusions: The results of this study show that BoRVA circulates widely among dairy calves in China, and the dominant genotype in circulation is G6P[1], first report on molecular characteristics of complete P[5] VP4 genes in chinese dairy calves. These results will help us to further understand the prevalence and genetic evolution of BoRVA among dairy calves in China and, thus, prevent the disease more effectively.

In this paper, the characteristics relating to the stator voltage control of a small three phase squirrel cage induction motor by means of symmetrically trggered triacs instead of antiparallel SCR's is described. A complete model of the system with 220V, $3{\phi}$, 1HP motor and triac gate control circuit has been designed and tested in the laboratory, and the experimental results are compared with the numerical values. As a result of the above investigation, it is found that the range of induction motor speed control by stator voltage control is narrow.

Structure-borne noise is known to dominate internal running noise levels in open field. In this paper vibration isolation characteristics of floors are investigated to see their effect on the internal running noise. By using the analysis and test results of test specimen of small size, internal running noise level of complete train is estimated. Analysis results show that soft rubber as a vibration isolator has the most favorable effect on the inside running noise.

Characteristics and roles of protease released during the germination of Dictyostelium discoideum spores were investigated. When geat activated, the spores germinated, progressively releasing the protease into the extracellular medium. The protease activity exhibited high at pH 2.5. When cyclogeximide was added to culture, complete germination (emergence) and protease release were stopped. Addition of purified nonspecific protease to culture speeded up germination. These results suggest that excreted protease may play a role in removal of the spore wall.

This study was carried out to select the utilizable plants for the slope revegetation in dams, lakes and streams. In this study, 4 Iris species were investigated for their survival and growth characteristics in the complete and partly flooding condition with various flooding periods. The results are as followings; Iris pseudoacorus showed the highest flooding tolerance based on survival rate and growth condition. Iris ensata var. spotanea, I. setosa and I. nertschinskia followed after Iris pseudoacorus in the order of flooding tolerance. When I. pseudoacorus were completely submerged in the water, their growth was disturbed but they did not die up to 120 days. On the other hand, I. nertschinskia, I. setosa and I. ensata var. spotanea showed a significant growth disturbance in the complete water submergence and died in 90 days. This explained that they were relatively strong in flooding tolerance. They are considered to grow back to normal with some changes of water level.

Complete denture prosthodontics includes replacement of natural teeth and associated maxillary and mandibular structures for full edentulous patients. The final objectives of prosthodontic treatment include esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Because the esthetic demand of senior patients has increased esthetic requirement should not be overlooked in denture treatment. In complete denture treatment, attempts have been made to reproduce tooth wear, arrangement, recession of cervical gingiva, staining, improved gingival shade and so on. This 61 year old female patient came to the Department of Prosthodontics with the chief complaint that dentures made 5 years ago in a local clinic were broken and did not fit well. The patient put more emphasis on fabrication of natural and esthetic dentures than recovery of masticatory function. Remake of maxillary complete denture and mandibular implant retained overdenture was planned. In order to create esthetic and natural contour, Aesthetic Color Set Easy system$^{(R)}$ (Candulor dental GmbH, Wangen, Germany) was used to make complete dentures reproducing various gingival shades. Patient's esthetic satisfaction was high. When complete denture prosthodontics treatment involves appropriate expression of individual characteristics in addition to proper selection of esthetic materials, treatment will give satisfaction to both dentist and patient.

This paper describes the results of complete Bouguer anomalies computed from the Free-air anomalies that derived from Sandwell and DNSC08 marine gravity models. Complete bouguer corrections consist of three parts: the bouguer correction (Bullard A), the curvature correction (Bullard B) and the terrain correction (Bullard C). These all corrections have been computed over the East Sea on a $1'{\times}1'$elevation data (topography and bathymetry) derived from ETOPO1 global relief model. In addition, a constant topographic (sea-water) density of $2,670kg/m^3$($1,030kg/m^3$) has been used for all correction terms. The distribution of complete bouguer anomalies computed from DNSC08 are -34.390 ~ 267.925 mGal, and those from Sandwell are -32.446 ~ 266.967 mGal in East Sea. The mean and RMSE value of the difference between DNSC08 and Sandwell is $0.036{\pm}2.373\;mGal$. The highest value of complete bouguer anomaly are found around the region of $42{\sim}43^{\circ}N$ and $137{\sim}139^{\circ}E$ (has the lowest bathymetry) in both models. These values show that the gravity distribution of both models, DNSC08 and Sandwell, are very similar. They indicate that satellite-based marine gravity model can be effectively used to analyze the geophysical, geological and geodetic characteristics in East Sea.

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of empowerment on the relation between job characteristics and creativity. This study also examines the relationship job characteristics and creativity. As a result of this study, job characteristics had positive influence on empowerment. Empowerment had positive influence on creativity. Also job characteristics had positive effect on creativity at first, but it did not have a direct effect on creativity when empowerment was considered. These mean that empowerment is complete mediation variable because job characteristics no longer affects creativity after empowerment has been considered. Several implications, limitations and directions for future research were discussed.
