Objectives : This study was designed to obtain basic data for a further large-scale trial as evaluating the efficacy and safety of Geochangmanryeung-dan(GMD) and acupuncture on patient with spinal stenosis treated by epidural steroid injection. Methods: The study is a randomized controlled pilot clinical trial, conducted over 8 weeks. Twenty participants will be recruited and randomly allocated to 2 groups: an experimental(GMD and acupuncture with epidural steroid injection) group and a control(only epidural steroid injection) group. The epidural steroid injection will be administered once per 2 weeks for 6 weeks(3 times in total). GMD will be administered as a dose of 5 pills, 3 times per day, for 6 weeks. Acupuncture will be performed 2 times per week for 6 weeks(12 times in total). The primary outcome will be measured by visual analogue scale and self-rated walking distance. The secondary outcome will be measured by PainVision, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire, and Oswestry Disability Index. Both primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at baseline, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. The last assessment(at 8 weeks) will be performed 2 weeks after treatment cessation. Conclusions : This clinical trial, as the pilot study for a future large-scale trial, will provide clinical information for evaluating the efficacy and safety of GMD and acupuncture treatment in combination with epidural steroid injection for the treatment of spinal stenosis.

This paper presents the static and kinematic positioning accuracy by the real-time GPS positioning modes of the low-cost GPS receivers using NTRIP-based augmentation service. For this, acquires both the raw measurements data of the field tests by LEA 6T GPS module of u-blox AG, and correction communication via NTRIP caster with RTKLIB as an open source program for GNSS solution. With computing the positions of the check points and road tracks by six kinds of GPS positioning modes which are Single, SBAS, DGPS, PPP, RTK, and TCP/IP_RTK, compared these results to the reference position of the check points. The position error average and rmse of the static test by GPS L1 RTK surveying showed $N=0.002m{\pm}0.001m$, $E=0.004m{\pm}0.001m$ in horizontal plane, and $h=-0.116m{\pm}0.003m$ in vertical, these results are very closed to the coordinates with the geodetic receiver. Especially, in case of the kinematic test with obstacles located on both sides of road, the computed track with ambiguity fixing showed very similar trajectory considerably from VRS network RTK mode. And also, evaluate and verify the performance of the TCP/IP_RTK mode developed based on TCP/IP protocol.

Most greenhouse gases were arisen from the generation and use of energy, more than about 95 % of greenhouse gas from the traffic section was resulted by the transportation fuels. Also, when using the $CO_2$ emission factor suggested at IPCC G/L, there was the weakness which did not reflect the own property of fuel by country. And most industrialized countries have applied with the $CO_2$ emission factor of Tier 2 or Tier 3 to make the national greenhouse report to submit to UN according to the Kyoto Protocol. In this study, the transportation fuels using in domestic like unleaded gasoline, diesel, etc were analysed to identify the physical/chemical properties and these data were used to calculate the $CO_2$ emission factor of each fuels. And the study analysed the time series analysis to compare the property of fuels according to the change of time.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in Korea, but the predominant molecular event underlying gastric carcinogenesis remain unknown. Recently, DNA microarray technology has enabled the comprehensive analysis of gene expression level, and as such has yielded great insight into the molecular nature of cancer, However, despite the powerful approach of this techniques, the technical artifacts and/or bias in applied array platform limited the liability of resultant tens of thousand data points from microarray experiments. Therefore, we applied two different any platforms, such as olignucleotide microarray and cDNA microarray, to identify gastric cancer related large-scale molecular signature of the same human specimens. When thirty sets of matched human gastric cancer and normal tissues subjected to oligonucleotide microarray, total 623 genes were resulted as differently expressed genes in gastric cancer compared to normal tissues, and 252 genes for cDNA microarray analysis. In addition, forty three outlier genes which reflect the characteristic expression signature of gastric cancer beyond array platform and analytical protocol was recapitulated from two different expression profile. In conclusion, we were able to identify robust large-scale molecular changes in gastric cancer by applying two different platform of DNA microarray, this may facilitate to understand molecular carcinogenesis of gastric cancer.

The Four Major Rivers Restoration Project of is the multi-purpose green growth project in South Korea. Some of the project was progressed by K-water and was declared complete on October 21, 2011. The Four Rivers Restoration Project of Korea was designed to be a packaged project that aims to resolve water-related problems such as floods and droughts and revitalize Korean public spaces near the water. K-water have applied the latest ICT(Information and Communication Technology) for the operating management of 4 Rivers Project facilities. We also have applied ICT for integrating drinking water production facilities. Applying these ICT, we have many experience for integrated water resources management, so we proposed. The first is that the big data collected should be analyzed for making decisions and taking actions while considering multiple viewpoints of how water should be managed. The second is that the new MMI(Man Machine Interface) program should be developed to use domestic needs and promote ease of maintenance for the integrated operation. The third is that the standardization of communication protocol is needed for seamless communication between equipments.

The Protocol adopted in Sep. 1997 included the new Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78, which entered into force on 19 May 2005. Revision for the accept MARPOL Annex VI with make public on 29 Dec. 2005 and enforce on 29 Jun. 2006. For all that not installation at oil terminal or if installed do not used. The purpose of this study is to research and evaluate the methods of sampling and analysis, and the pollution measure of existed VOCs during the bulk liquid cargo operation at vessels. As the sampling instrument of VOCs, Tedlar bag has the effect of decrease in concentration by the chemical reaction and absorption, and the method using the solvent extraction has error cause because of the extraction, the absorption tube has error by the breakthrough. But canister is the best sampling instrument because of having no sampling mistake. The study on VOCs emission is not sufficient for the research on the pollution cause and the analysis data on the HAP during the bulk liquid cargo operation at vessels. Hence, monitoring on the management hazardous VOCs need to be continued during the cargo operation at vessels and VOCs management field must be study for the make progress at a good pace for reason of crew's health.

Objectives : 'First-night effect' has been a well-known concept since 1960's. It is important because it is one of the major factors to be considered in assessing the reliability of polysomnographic data. However, 'reverse first-night effect' has also been described, resulting in the inconsistency of conceptualization. We attempted to investigate on the first-night effect in adults by having each of them take two nights of polysomnography in a controlled environment. Young healthy adult volunteers were chosen as subjects in order to rule out age- or health-related confounders. Methods : Polysomnography was performed on eight male medical students (mean $age=23.5\;{\pm}\;0.9$) for two nights with Grass model 78 polysomnograph. We scored manually under the standard protocol each epoch of the sleep records. Sleep variables were obtained and compared between the two nights. Results : Sleep period time(SPT) and total sleep time(TST) of the third fraction of night were significantly longer on the first night than on the second night (p<0.05). However, other sleep variables such as percentage of each sleep stage, sleep latency, REM sleep latency, number of waking, and sleep efficiency were not different between the two nights. Conclusion : We could not confirm the existence of first-night effect in this study. In healthy young male adults, it may not happen at all or may happen to a very negligible degree. Young healthy adults may have more adaptability to a new sleep environment. Also, the provision of a reasonably comfortable sleep environment could have helped them with abolition of first-night effect.
