하수슬러지의 처분 방안으로서 하수슬러지를 생활폐기물과 혼합소각시의 가능성을 타진하기 위해 전체폐기물 중 하수슬러지를 20%까지 혼합하여 실험한 결과, 열부하 및 대기오염물질(질소산화물, 황산화물)부하에 영향을 크게 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 생하수슬러지(함수율 78.8%) 및 건조하수슬러지(함수율 60%)를 혼합소각한 결과, 건조하수슬러지를 혼합한 경우에는 열부하변동이 거의 없었으나 생하수슬러지를 혼합소각한 경우는 열부하가 다소 낮아지는 것으로 나타나 전처리를 한슬러지 혼합소각이 평상시와 같은 운전조건으로 소각로 연소를 이룰 수 있을 것으로 판단되나 고발열 생활폐기물 발열에 의한 소각로 파손을 방지하기 위해서는 에너지 비용 및 슬러지 경화현상에 의한 국부소각 방지 등을 고려하여 생하수슬러지에 수분을 공급하여 소각하는 방안도 고려해 볼만 하다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the causal relationship between exhibition acceptance through the quality factors of Internet of Things (IoT) exhibition services and ease and usefulness of technology acceptance factors for domestic exhibition visitors. Through this, the company intends to present effective and efficient development plans in the IoT exhibition industry. Therefore, we present a research model that applies DeLone & McLean's quality factors to key variables in the information system success model and ease and usefulness in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A survey was conducted on ordinary people with experience using the Internet of Water (IoT) exhibition service. The survey was conducted for two weeks from July 15 to August 20, 2021. A total of 276 surveys were used for data analysis during this period. The hypothesis results related to the information system success model of the Internet of Things (IoT) exhibition show that, first, system quality had no significant effect on usefulness, but significantly on ease. Second, information quality has been shown to have a significant effect on usability and ease. Third, service quality has been shown to have a significant impact on usability and ease. Fourth, usefulness has been shown to have a significant effect on exhibition acceptance. Fifth, ease has been shown to have a significant effect on usability. Sixth, ease was shown to have a significant effect on exhibition acceptance.

The syndrome of the trephined is a neurologic phenomenon that manifests as sudden decline in cognition, behavior, and sensorimotor function due to loss of intracranial domain. This scenario typically occurs in the setting of large craniectomy defects, resulting from trauma, infection, and/or oncologic extirpation. Cranioplasty has been shown to reverse these symptoms by normalizing cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism. However, successful reconstruction may be difficult in patients with complex and/or hostile calvarial defects. We present the case of a 48-year-old male with a large cranial bone defect, who failed autologous cranioplasty secondary to infection, and developed rapid neurologic deterioration leading to a near-vegetative state. Following debridement and antibiotic therapy, delayed cranioplasty was accomplished using a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant with free chimeric latissimus dorsi/serratus anterior myocutaneous flap transfer for vascularized resurfacing. Significant improvements in cognition and motor skill were noted in the early postoperative period. At 6-month follow-up, the patient had regained the ability to speak, ambulate and self-feed-correlating with evidence of cerebral/ventricular re-expansion on computed tomography. Based on our findings, we advocate delayed alloplastic implantation with total vascularized soft tissue coverage as a viable alternative for reconstructing extensive, hostile calvarial defects in patients with the syndrome of the trephined.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality, diagnostic efficacy, and radiation dose associated with the use of a cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector, compared to charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) detectors. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalographs of a phantom (type 1) composed of synthetic polymer filled with water and another phantom (type 2) composed of human skull macerated with polymer coating were obtained with CdTe, CCD, and CMOS detectors. Dosimeters placed on the type 2 phantom were used to measure radiation. Noise levels from each image were also measured. McNamara cephalometric analysis was conducted, the dentoskeletal configurations were assessed, and a subjective evaluation of image quality was conducted. Parametric data were compared via 1-way analysis of variance with the Tukey post-hoc test, with a significance level of 5%. Subjective image quality and dentoskeletal configuration were described qualitatively. Results: A statistically significant difference was found among the images obtained with the 3 detectors(P<0.05), with the lowest noise level observed among the images obtained with the CdTe detector and a higher subjective preference demonstrated for those images. For the cephalometric analyses, no significant difference (P>0.05) was observed, and perfect agreement was seen with regard to the classifications obtained from the images acquired using the 3 detectors. The radiation dose associated with the CMOS detector was higher than the doses associated with the CCD (P<0.05) and CdTe detectors(P<0.05). Conclusion: Considering the evaluated parameters, the CdTe detector is recommended for use in clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of gadobenate dimeglumine (GdBOPTA) enhanced MR imaging for the detection of liver lesions in patients with primary malignant hepatic neoplasms. Materials and Methods: Thirty-one patients with histologically proven primary malignancy of the liver were evaluated before and after administration of GdBOPTA at dose 0.05 or 0.10 mmol/kg. T1-weighted spin echo (T1W-SE) and gradient echo (T1W-GRE) images were evaluated for lesion number, location, size and confidence by three off-site independent reviewers and the findings were compared to reference standard imaging (intraoperative ultrasound, computed tomography during arterial portography or lipiodol computed tomography). Results were analyzed for significance using a two-sided McNemar's test. Results: More lesions were identified on Gd-BOPTA enhanced images than on unenhanced images and there was no significant difference in lesion detection between either concentration. The largest benefit was in detection of lesions under 1 cm in size (7 to 21, 9 to 15, 16 to 18 for reviewers A, B, C respectively). In 68% of the patients with more than one lesion, Gd-BOPTA increased the number of lesions detected. Conclusion: Liver MR imaging after Gd-BOPTA increases the detection of liver lesions in patients with primary malignant hepatic neoplasm.

As the utilization of information technology and the turbulence of technological change increase in organizations, the adoption of IT outsourcing also grows to manage IT resource more effectively and efficiently. In this new way of IT management technique, service level management(SLM) process becomes critical to derive success from the outsourcing in the view of end users in organization. Even though much of the research on service level management or agreement have been done during last decades, the performance of the service level management process have not been evaluated in terms of final objectives of the management efforts or success from the view of end-users. This study explores the relationship between SLM maturity and IT outsourcing success from the users' point of view by a analytical case study in four client organizations under an IT outsourcing vendor, which is a member company of a major Korean conglomerate. For setting up a model for the analysis, previous researches on service level management process maturity and information systems success are reviewed. In particular, information systems success from users' point of view are reviewed based the DeLone and McLean's study, which is argued and accepted as a comprehensively tested model of information systems success currently. The model proposed in this study argues that SLM process maturity influences information systems success, which is evaluated in terms of information quality, systems quality, service quality, and net effect proposed by DeLone and McLean. SLM process maturity can be measured in planning process, implementation process and operation and evaluation process. Instruments for measuring the factors in the proposed constructs of information systems success and SL management process maturity were collected from previous researches and evaluated for securing reliability and validity, utilizing appropriate statistical methods and pilot tests before exploring the case study. Four cases from four different companies under one vendor company were utilized for the analysis. All of the cases had been contracted in SLA(Service Level Agreement) and had implemented ITIL(IT Infrastructure Library), Six Sigma and BSC(Balanced Scored Card) methods since last several years, which means that all the client organizations pursued concerted efforts to acquire quality services from IT outsourcing from the organization and users' point of view. For comparing the differences among the four organizations in IT out-sourcing sucess, T-test and non-parametric analysis have been applied on the data set collected from the organization using survey instruments. The process maturities of planning and implementation phases of SLM are found not to influence on any dimensions of information systems success from users' point of view. It was found that the SLM maturity in the phase of operations and evaluation could influence systems quality only from users' view. This result seems to be quite against the arguments in IT outsourcing practices in the fields, which emphasize usually the importance of planning and implementation processes upfront in IT outsourcing projects. According to after-the-fact observation by an expert in an organization participating in the study, their needs and motivations for outsourcing contracts had been quite familiar already to the vendors as long-term partners under a same conglomerate, so that the maturity in the phases of planning and implementation seems not to be differentiating factors for the success of IT outsourcing. This study will be the foundation for the future research in the area of IT outsourcing management and success, in particular in the service level management. And also, it could guide managers in practice in IT outsourcing management to focus on service level management process in operation and evaluation stage especially for long-term outsourcing contracts under very unique context like Korean IT outsourcing projects. This study has some limitations in generalization because the sample size is small and the context itself is confined in an unique environment. For future exploration, survey based research could be designed and implemented.

공유 경제의 대표적인 사례 중 하나의 카 쉐어링 서비스는 차량을 공유하여 사용자가 원하는 시간, 장소에서 원하는 만큼 공유하여 사용할 수 있는 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 카 쉐어링 서비스의 시스템이 제공하는 기반적 특성인 희소성과, 시스템 품질, 서비스 품질이 사용자의 평가 요소에 영향을 줄 것이라 가정하고 사용자의 평가를 통하여 사용자의 순 편익을 확인하고자 하였다. 분석결과 희소성의 쿠폰과 시간제한은 사용자 평가 요소인 인지된 사회적 지지와 앱 신뢰에 영향을 주었으나 제한 수량은 영향을 주지 않아 카 쉐어링 서비스에서 수량에 대한 제한은 관련 없는 것으로 나타났다. 시스템 품질의 대부분의 변수들이 인지된 사회적 지지와 앱 신뢰에 영향을 주었다. 사용자 평가는 사용자 만족과 추천의도에 영향을 주었다. 사용자가 얻을 수 있는 순 편익으로써 만족감과 조직적 측면에서의 간접적 성과인 추천 의도가 채택되어 순 편익 변수의 역할을 하였다. 공유경제와 관련된 연구는 주로 탐색적 연구에서 국한하는 점으로 비추어 볼 때 본고에서 언급하고 있는 비즈니스 성공 모델의 적용과 사회적 변수 적용 등 실증적으로 분석했다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있다.

We report the discovery of a bright mid-infrared (MIR) source with prominent crystalline silicate emission using the space telescope AKARI and Spitzer. This source, IRAS 15099-5856, has a spectacular morphology with a bright central compact source (CCS) surrounded by knots, spurs, and several extended (~4') arc-like filaments. The source is seen only in infrared at ${\geq}10{\mu}m$. The Spitzer MIR spectrum of the CCS shows prominent emission features from Mg-rich crystalline silicates and strong [Ne II] 12.88 ${\mu}m$ and several other faint ionic lines. We model the MIR spectrum as thermal emission from several independent dust components and compare their properties to those of the Herbig Be star HD 100546 which shows very similar MIR spectrum. Our molecular line observations reveal two molecular clouds around the source, but no associated dense molecular cores. We discuss two possible origins for IRAS 15099-5856; a deeply embedded massive young stellar object on the other side of the Galaxy and a disrupted, protoplanetary disk being photoevaporated by the UV radiation from the nearby O star Muzzio 10.
