The peripheral dose, defined as the dose outside therapeutic photon fields, which is responsible for the functional damage of the critical organs, fetus, and radiation. induced carcinogenesis, has been investigated for $^{60}Co\;\gamma$ ray and 10 MV Xray. It was measured by silicon diode controlled by semiautomated water phantom without any shielding or with lead plate of HVL thickness put horizontally or vertically to shield stray radiations. Authors could obtain following results. 1. The peripheral dose was larger than $0.7\%$ of central axis maximum dose even at 20cm distance from field margin. That is clinically significant, so it should be reduced. 2. Even for square fields of 10 MV Xray, radial peripheral dose distribution did not coincide with transverse distribution, because of the position of collimator jaws. 3. Between surface and $d_m$, the peripheral dose distributions show a pattern of the dose distribution of electron beams and the maximum doss was approximately proportional to the length of a side of square field. 4. The peripheral doses depended on radiation quality, field size, distance from field margin and depth in water. Distance from field margin was the most important factor. 5. Except for near surface, the peripheral dose from phantom was approximately equal to that from therapy unit. 6. To reduce the surface dose outside fields, therapist should shield stray radiations from therapy unit by lead plate of at least one HVL for 10 MV X-ray and by bolus equivalent to tissue of 0.5cm thickness for $^{60}Co$. 7. To reduce the dose at depth deeper than $d_m$, it is desirable to shield stray radiations from therapy unit by lead.

The selected physical and mechanical properties of non-certificated LVL circulated in domestic lumber market were investigated and compared to relevant standards. The tested LVL passed the moisture content and the soaking delamination rate limit as per domestic (KS) and Japanese standard (JAS). The evaluated mechanical properties were flatwise/edgewise bending strength, modulus of elasticity (MOE), horizontal shear and compressive strength. The 30 mm-thick LVL showed significantly higher bending strength than that of the 25 mm-thick LVL. The modulus of elasticity (MOE) showed same tendency in the results of bending strength. The edgewise bending strength and MOE were higher than that of flatwise bending strength and MOE. The horizontal shear strength values were also showed similar results to bending strength values. The tested results were compared each other and each products were graded according to JAS 701 grade specification. The failure mode of LVL in bending test showed the similar failure mode of solidwood that failed in a simple tension manner (splintery tension). The glue line failure was severe in 25 mm-thick specimens due to concentration of shear stress in layer discontinuity containing small voids and starved glue lines. In horizontal shear strength test, failure mode of LVL showed the typical horizontal shear failure. Compressive specimens failed with fiber crushing in company with apparent delamination that splitted along the length of the specimens. From the results, the complete bonding between lamination and consistency in thin veneer layer were considered as a critical factor in the mechanical properties of LVL. Moreover, the standard test procedure and specification for non-certificated LVL should be required to check the performance of uncertificated materials.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the prophylactic effect of transparent film dressing on the sacrum and coccyx sites to reduce pressure ulcers. Methods: The participants were 317 patients admitted to an SICU in Seoul, Korea. Of the patients, 175 were assigned to the experimental group and 142 to the control group. For participants in the experimental group, a prophylactic transparent film dressing was applied on the sacrum and coccyx. The control group received the usual care. The nurses checked for pressure ulcers on the sacrum and coccyx at least once every duty. When pressure ulcer occurred, it reported on the record form. The results were analyzed using Poisson and Hierarchical logistic regression. Results: The prevalence and risk of pressure ulcer was lower in the experimental group compared to the control group but the difference was not significant. The ICU length of stay was significantly associated with pressure ulcer risk. Conclusion: Findings indicate that prophylactic transparent film dressing helps to reduce pressure ulcer in SICU patients.

안면비대칭의 주원인은 하악골이며, 하악골의 비대칭 성장에 대한 상악골의 보상성장에 따라 교합면 경사 등이 초래된다. 디지털 사진과 삼차원 CT 등 다양한 방법으로 정확한 진단을 하고 수술을 포함한 치료계획을 세운다. 술전 교정 치료는 상악골과 하악골 치열의 치성 보상(dental compensation)을 제거하면서 상악 치열의 중심은 상악골의 정중선에, 하악 치열의 중심은 하악골 정중선에 맞게 이동하여 술후 상하악 치열궁이 일치하면서 동시에 안모 정중선에 일치하게 맞추어야 한다. 악교정 수술은 일반적으로 상하악 동시 수술을 하게 되며 우각부 풍융도 교정과 이부 성형술(genioplasty) 등을 부가적으로 할 수 있으며, 교합면 경사 교정과 수평 회전 등의 이동이 상하악 위치에 서로 영향을 주면서 수술 후 안모 변화에 대한 예측을 어렵게 만들기 때문에, 다양한 분석을 통해 정확한 예측으로 최선의 결과를 얻는 것이 가장 중요하다.

휴대용 전자 시스템에 대한 deep submicron VLSI의 출현에 따라 기존의 면적과 성능(지연시간)외에 전력량 감축을 위한 새로운 방식의 CAD 알고리즘이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문은 논리합성시 기술매핑 단계에서의 전력량 감소를 목적으로 한 논리 게이트 분할(gate decomposition)을 통한 재합성 알고리즘을 소개한다. 기존의 저전력을 위한 논리분할 방식은 Huffman 부호화 방식을 이용하였으나 Huffman code는 variable length를 가지고 있으며 logic depth (회로지연시간)와 글리치에 영향을 미치게 된다. 제안된 알고리즘은 임계경로상에 있지 않은 부회로에 대한 스위칭 동작량을 줄임으로써 logic depth (즉 속도)를 유지하면서 다양한 재구성된 트리를 제공하여 스위칭 동작량을 줄임으로써 전력량을 감축시키는 새로운 게이트분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 zero 게이트 지연시간을 갖는 AND 트리에 대하여 스위칭 동작량이 최소화된 2진 분할 트리를 제공한다. SIS (논리합성기)와 Level-Map (lower power LUT-based FPGA technology mapper)과 비교하여 각각 58%와 8%의 전력 감축효과를 보였다.

암석은 지질학적 생성과정으로 인해 잠재적으로 많은 구조적 결함을 내포하고 있는 재료이다. 이러한 구조적 결함으로 인해 압축하중을 받고 있는 암석의 변형거동 및 파괴는 비선형적이다. 지금까지의 연구들에서는 암석의 비선형 거동을 모사하기 위해 균열모형, 즉 활주균열모형 (Sliding crack model) 과 전단균열모형 (Shear crack model) 을 사용하였다. 이 연구들에서는 암석의 비선형 응력-변형률 곡선과 균열성장으로 인해 발생되는 유효탄성정수들 ($E_1$, $E_2$, ${\nu}_1$, ${\nu}_2$, $G_2$) 의 변화와 같은 여러 가지 암석 거동을 모사하였다 (Kemeny, 1993; Jeon, 1996, 1998). 대부분의 이러한 연구들은 주로 균열모형의 암석거동의 적용에 대한 타당성을 검증하는데 그쳤으며 지하공간이나 사면설계 등의 실제적인 수치해석을 목적으로 균열모형을 적용한 연구는 그다지 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 암석의 비선형 응력 변형률 곡선을 모사함으로써 균열모형의 암석에의 적용에 대한 타당성을 검증하며 실제적인 수치해석, 즉 상용되고 있는 유한요소해석 프로그램에 균열모형을 적용하였다.

A roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam should be analyzed under seismic ground motions for different conditions such as empty reservoir and full reservoir conditions. This study presents three-dimensional earthquake response and performance of a RCC dam considering materially non-linearity. For this purpose, Cine RCC dam constructed in Aydın, Turkey, is selected in applications. The three-dimensional finite element model of Cine RCC dam is obtained using ANSYS software. The Drucker-Prager material model is considered in the materially nonlinear time history analyses for concrete and foundation rock. Furthermore, hydrodynamic effect was investigated in linear and non-linear dynamic analyses. Researchers observe that how the tensile and compressive stresses change by hydrodynamic pressure effect. The hydrodynamic pressure of the reservoir water is modeled with the fluid finite elements based on the Lagrangian approach. In this study, dam body and foundation are modeled with welded contact. The displacements and principle stress components obtained from the linear and non-linear analyses with and without reservoir water are compared each other. Principle stresses during earthquake were obtained at the most critical point in the upstream face of dam body. Besides, the change of displacements and stresses by crest length were investigated. Moreover demand-capacity ratio criteria were also studied under linear dynamic and nonlinear analysis. Earthquake performance analyses were carried out for different cases and evaluated. According to linear and nonlinear analysis, hydrodynamic water effect is obvious in full reservoir situation. On the other hand, higher tensile stresses were observed in linear analyses and then non-linear analyses were performed and compared with each other.

Adjusting pressure level in the construction of athletes' tight-fitting garments by reducing the elastic knit pattern is a challenging subject, which influences the performance of the wearer directly. Therefore, in this study, relationship between the reduction rates of the basic pattern obtained from 3D human scan data and resultant clothing pressure was explored to improve the fit and pressure exerted by clothing. 3D scan data were obtained using Cyberware and they were transformed into a flat pattern using software based on Runge-Kutta method. Reduction rate was examined by subjective wear test as well as objective pressure measurement. As a result, difference in the length between the original 3D body scan data and the 2D tight-fitting pattern was 0.02$\sim$0.50cm (0.05$\sim$1.06%), which was within the range of tolerable limits in making clothes. Among the five garments, the 3T-pattern was superior in terms of subjective sensation and fit. The pressure of the 3T pattern was 2$\sim$4 gf/cm2 at five locations on the body, which is almost the same or a bit higher than that of Z-pattern. In the case of tight-fitting overall garment, the reduction rate of the pattern in the wale direction is more critical to the subjective sensation than the course direction. It is recommended that the reduction grading rules of course direction should be larger than that of Ziegert for a better fit of tight-fitting garments. In the case of wale direction, however, reduction grading rule should be kept the same as suggested earlier by Ziegert (1988).

Dicer, an ribonuclease type III type endonuclease, is the key enzyme involved in biogenesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and thus plays a critical role in RNA interference through post transcriptional regulation of gene expression. This enzyme has not been well studied in the Indian water buffalo, an important species known for disease resistance and high milk production. In this study, the primary coding sequence (5,778 bp) of bubaline dicer (GenBank: AB969677.1) was determined and the bubaline Dicer1 biocomputationally characterized to determine the phylogenetic signature among higher eukaryotes. The evolutionary tree revealed that all the transcript variants of Dicer1 belonging to a specific species were within the same node and the sequences belonging to primates, rodents and lagomorphs, avians and reptiles formed independent clusters. The bubaline dicer1 is closely related to that of cattle and other ruminants and significantly divergent from dicer of lower species such as tapeworm, sea urchin and fruit fly. Evolutionary divergence analysis conducted using MEGA6 software indicated that dicer has undergone purifying selection over the time. Seventeen divergent sequences, representing each of the families/taxa were selected to study the specific regions of positive vis-$\grave{a}$-vis negative selection using different models like single likelihood ancestor counting, fixed effects likelihood, and random effects likelihood of Datamonkey server. Comparative analysis of the domain structure revealed that Dicer1 is conserved across mammalian species while variation both in terms of length of Dicer enzyme and presence or absence of domain is evident in the lower organisms.
