Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the gait parameter and plantar foot pressure of adults with Down syndrome(DS) during walking in order to provide data for developing evidence-based deficit or common rehabilitation strategies. Method : 15 participants with DS(12 men, 3 women; age $26.06{\pm}4.47$) and 15 healthy subjects(12 men, 3 women; age $25.33{\pm}3.43$) were matched age. They walked at self selected speeds on a GAITRite system and RS-scan system, and had the following measurements done: cadence, stride length, step width, foot angle, percent stance, percent double support, and plantar foot pressure in 10 areas of the foot. Results : In comparison of gait parameter(cadence, stride length, step width, foot angle, percent stance, and percent double support) between adults with DS and healthy subjects, there was significant differences(p<.05). Regarding plantar foot pressure during gait with or without DS, there were statisically significant differences in the area of Toes 1-5, Metatasal 1-4, Midfoot, and Heel(Medial and lateral)(p<.05). Conclusion : Our data show that DS walk with a less physiolosical gait pattern and plantar foot pressure than healthy subjects. Based on our results, DS patients need targeted rehabilitation and exercise strategies.

The main goal was to evaluate effectiveness of a modified TSE sequence compared with DIR (double inversion recovery) sequence in acquisition of fast flow brain vessel images using signal void effect. 32 healthy volunteers (10 men and 22 women; mean age of 31 years; ranging between 28-43 years) who underwent black blood DIR sequence (group A) and the modified TSE sequence (group B) were enrolled in our study. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) of the internal carotid arteries' lumen were compared in T1 and T2 weighted images for both group A and B. The images obtained from group B showed lower SNR values in internal carotid artery than the group A in both of the T1 and T2 weighted images (11.49% and 13.66% respectively). While the CNR values were higher in the group B than the group A in both of the T1 and T2 weighted images (8.69% and 7.55 % respectively). The qualitative score of all categories were not significantly different between the two groups. Furthermore approximately 49% of the total scan time was reduced from group B. Our study is to shorten the scanning time and minimize the inconveniences of the patients in acquisition of the black blood images of brain by using the signal void effect in the modified TSE technique while keeping the diagnostic value of the test.

This paper challenges the fabrication of a thin film energy storage device on a flexible polymer substrate specifically by replacing most commonly used metal foil current collectors with coated current collectors. Mass-manufacturable spray-coating technology enables the fabrication of two different half-cell electric double layer capacitors (EDLC) with a spray-coated silver paste current collector and a Ni foil current collector. The larger specific capacitances of the half-cell EDLC with the spray-coated silver current collector are obtained as 103.86 F/g and 76.8 F/g for scan rates of 10 mV/s and 500 mV/s, respectively. Further, even though the half-cell EDLC with the spray-coated current collector is heavier than that with the Ni foil current collector, smaller Warburg impedance and contact resistance are characterized from Nyquist plots. For the applied voltages ranging from -0.5 V to 0.5 V, the spray-coated thin film energy storage device exhibits a better performance.

디지털 안궁이전 장치로 하악의 운동로를 기록하고 캐드 소프트웨어(CAD software) 상에 반영할 수 있는데 이를 고려한 보철 수복은 치료 결과를 향상시킨다. 본 증례는 상하악 대구치가 소실된 환자에서 디지털 기술을 활용하여 임플란트를 식립 및 보철 수복한 증례이다. 구내 스캔 후 디지털 진단 왁스업을 토대로 임플란트 수술용 가이드를 제작한 뒤 임플란트 식립했다. 6개월의 충분한 골유착 후, 맞춤형 지대주와 첫번째 임시 보철물을 장착하였다. 2개월 후 지대주 수준에서 구강 스캔 및 디지털 안궁이전 장치로 가상 교합기 상마운팅하고 하악 운동을 기록했다. 하악의 움직임을 고려하여 두번째 임시 보철물을 제작, 장착 후 안정된 교합 상태에서 더블 스캔 과정으로 복제하여 지르코니아 최종 보철물을 디자인하고 장착했다.

In AC-PDP, it is necessary to achieve high luminance efficiency, high luminance and high definition by adopting technologies such as high xenon concentration, MgO doping, and long gap. However, it is very difficult to apply above technologies because they make the driving voltage margin reduced. Especially, high Xe concentration technology for high efficacy makes not only the driving voltage margin reduced but also the stability of reset discharge decreased at low temperature. In this paper, we studied temperature and voltage dependent stability of reset discharge and present the experimental results of the discharge characteristics at low temperature. In addition, we suggested the mechanism of bright noise and black noise at low temperature. Finally, we proposed double reset waveform to improve the bright noise and descending scan time method to improve the black noise.

Situs inversus abdominis is a rare congenital condition commonly associated with serious cardiac and splenic malformations. The importance of recognizing the presence of situs inversus abdominis preoperatively is emphasized by the fact that the surgical incision is placed on the incorrect side of the abdomen. A 6 day-old girl was referred to our hospital because of bile stained vomiting. A plain radiography of abdomen and chest showed the heart to be normal position and a reversed "double-bubble" picture with no other gas shadow in the rest of the abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed situs inversus with the stomach and polysplenia on the right side and the liver on the left side. A laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of situs inversus with duodenal atresia. The obstruction was bypassed by constructing a side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy. The postoperative course was uneventful.

In this paper, we propose a new 3-D deinterlacing algorithm based on wide sparse vector correlations and a vertical edge based motion detection algorithm. which is an extension of the deinterlacing algorithm proposed in [10. llJ by the authors. The prooised algorithm is developed mainly for the format conversion problem encountered in current HDTV system, but can also be aplicable to the double scan conversion problesm frequently encountered in ths NTSC systems. By exploiting the edge oriented spatial interpolation based on the wide vector correlations, visually annoying artifiacts caused by interlacing such as a serrate line. line crawling, a line flicker, and a large area flicker can be remarkably reduced since the use of the wide vectors increases the range of the edge orientations that can be detected, and by exploiting sparse vectors correlations the HjW complexity for realizing the algorithm in applications cam be significantly simplified. Simulations are provided indicating thet the proposed algorithm results in a high performance comparable to the performance of the deinterlacing algorithm. based on the wide vector correlations.

Meconium peritonitis as a cause of non-immune hydrops in neonates is rarely reported. Here we report such a rare occurrence. In our case, a routine antenatal scan at 25 weeks revealed isolated ascites. By 31 weeks of gestation, all features of hydrops were observed in scans. However, antenatal workup for immune and non-immune hydrops was negative. Subsequently, a preterm hydropic female baby was delivered at 32 weeks. She required intubation and ventilator support. An X-ray revealed calcification in the abdomen suggestive of meconium peritonitis. Ultrasound showed gross ascites, a giant cyst compressing the inferior vena cava, and minimal bilateral pleural effusion. Emergency laparotomy revealed meconium pellets and perforation of the ileum. Double-barrel ileostomy was performed, and the edema resolved and activity improved. The baby was discharged after 3 weeks. Ileostomy closure was done at follow-up. The baby is growing well.

디스크의 구역분할기술(zoning technology)은 디스크의 저장용량과 평균 전송 대역폭을 증가시킴으로써, 디스크 서브시스템의 성능을 향상시켰다. 멀티미디어 시스템에서 구역분할 디스크의 성능을 충분히 이용하기 위하여 이중 버퍼링을 하는 SCAN 스케줄링을 사용한다. 하지만, 이 방식은 새로운 스트림의 요청 시에 지터(jitter)를 발생시키는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 선행버퍼링(pre-buffering) 기법을 제안한다. 선행 버퍼링은 디스크 서브시스템의 수학적 모델을 통하여 스트림의 개수에 따른 주기시간과 각 주기시간에 필요한 데이타 양, 그리고 새로운 스트림 요청 시에 발생하는 데이타의 부족분을 예측하고, 예상되는 데이타의 부족분을 각 스트림의 서비스 전에 미리 버퍼링함으로써, 지터를 방지한다. 선행 버퍼링 기법은 멀티미디어 서버에 적용되어 사용자에게 지터 없는 고품질의 서비스를 제공하는 데 기여할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 소형 X-밴드 이중편파 레이더의 수평반사도 (ZH), 차등반사도(ZDR), 교차상관계수(ρHV)의 RHI(range height indicator) 연직단면과 PPI (plan position indicator)의 고도각 경사거리(slant range) 빔의 프로파일 분석을 통하여 밝은 띠(bright band, BB)의 특성을 탐색하였다. 분석 결과, X-밴드 레이더의 이중편파 변수들을 이용하여 밝은 띠 영역을 명확히 탐지할 수 있었으며, 동시간대의 RHI 및 PPI 관측 자료를 이용한 이중적인 밝은 띠 영역을 탐색하여 그 결과가 일치함을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 토대로 현업에서 RHI 관측없이 PPI 볼륨관측만 수행하는 대형 강우레이더에도 본 연구의 PPI 고도각 경사거리에 의한 BB 탐색 방법을 적용함으로써 QPE (quantification of precipitation estimation)의 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있다.
