  • 본 연구는 사용자의 감성이 온라인 소셜 미디어를 통해 감염이 된다는 사실을 감성 전파 모델링으로 보이고자 한다. 이를 위해 전염병 파생을 기술하고 이를 예측하는데 사용되었던 질병확산 모델을 기초로 소셜 미디어상의 감성 전파 모델을 제시한다. 제시한 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 특정 리테일 산업에 대한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있는 웹포럼의 데이터를 수집한다. 수집된 데이터로부터 주요 주제어를 도출하고, 주제별 감성을 측정하고, 시간에 따른 감성 값을 도출하여, 제시한 모델을 추정한다. 실험 결과 사용자의 긍정적 감성과 부정적 감성이 서로 경쟁관계에 있다는 가정을 따른 제안한 모델이 타당함을 보였다.

  • Highly pathogenic avian influenza could not be identified visually. It takes time to identify the symptoms by its incubation period. Without taking a quick step, the diffusion area of HPAI has dramatically increased, the extent of damage becomes bigger. In network research, the algorithm of finding the central node on the network applied to various diffusion of epidemic problems, was used in control system of tracing the diffusion path, blocking central nodes. This study tried to make the diffusion of HPAI network model for the crowded farms area, and reduce the diffusion rate to control the high-risk farms.

  • A strain of Leptospira interrogans(UM-19) was isolated in 1984 from a patient with epidemic pulmonary hemorrhagic fever. The bacteria has been characterized morphologically by a polymorphism showing spiral forms, short and long rods in culture. In order to study the biological relatedness among these forms of the bacteria, the short rods were separated from others by means of continuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and cultured at various temperatures such as $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$. It was revealed that cultivation or subcultivation of the short rods has resulted in morphological changes observed by darkfield examination, silver stain, and scanning electron microscope showing spiral forms as well as short and long rods.

  • In this paper, a mathematical dynamical system involving both deterministic (with or without delay) and stochastic "SIR" epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate in a continuous reactor is considered. A profound qualitative analysis is given. It is proved that, for both deterministic models, if ��d > 1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. However, if ��d ≤ 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Concerning the stochastic model, the Feller's test combined with the canonical probability method were used in order to conclude on the long-time dynamics of the stochastic model. The results improve and extend the results obtained for the deterministic model in its both forms. It is proved that if ��s > 1, the disease is stochastically permanent with full probability. However, if ��s ≤ 1, then the disease dies out with full probability. Finally, some numerical tests are done in order to validate the obtained results.

Improvement of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Disease Vaccine Productivity by Ammonium Ion Removal in a Carberry Type Bioreactor (Carberry Type 생물반응기에서 암모늄 이온 제거에 의한 돼지유행성설사병 바이러스 백신 생산성 증대)

  • The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV) production yield in spinner flask cultures using Vero cells immobilized on microcarriers was improved by the selective adsorption of ammonium ions in a Carberry type bioreactor which was equipped with Phillipsite-Gismondine synthetic zeolite. Though the apparent cell growth seemed to be lower than that of control due to the aggregation of microcarriers between impeller shaft and the adsorbent, zeolite was found to not to be toxic to Vero cell, considering estimated glucose and lactate changes. Zeolite was observed to remove ammonium ions effectively in both steps of cell growth and virus production. In virus production, the virus titer with zeolite was two times higher than that without zeolite. Consequently, zeolite was found to be an ideal adsorbent for higher production of virus vaccine with the effective removal of ammonium ions.

  • The rapid rise in the incidence of obesity has emerged as one of the most pressing global public health issues in recent years. The underlying etiological causes of obesity, whether behavioral, environmental, genetic, or a combination of several of them, have not been completely elucidated. The obesity epidemic has been attributed to the ready availability, abundance, and overconsumption of high-energy content food. We determined here by Pearson's correlation the relationship between food type consumption and rising obesity using the loss-adjusted food availability data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Services (ERS) as well as the obesity prevalence data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our analysis showed that total calorie intake and consumption of high fructose com syrup (HFCS) did not correlate with rising obesity trends. Intake of other major food types, including chicken, dairy fats, salad and cooking oils, and cheese also did not correlate with obesity trends. However, our results surprisingly revealed that consumption of com products correlated with rising obesity and was independent of gender and race/ethnicity among population dynamics in the U.S. Therefore, we were able to demonstrate a novel link between the consumption of com products and rising obesity trends that has not been previously attributed to the obesity epidemic. This correlation coincides with the introduction of bioengineered corns into the human food chain, thus raising a new hypothesis that should be tested in molecular and animal models of obesity.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the method of setting up logic and estimate Fang Youzhi's work through Shanghanluntiaobian. Methods : Wang Shuhe's old edition Shanghanlun and Fang Youzhi's Shanghanluntiaobian were compared and several essential provisions were analyzed and addressed the positive and negative aspects of Fang Youzhi's revising old edition Shanghanlun mixed bamboo tablets. Results : Fang Youzhi's changing Bianmaifa("辨脈法") and Pingmaifa("平脈法") and placement Bianchishiyemaizhengbingzhi chapter after Liujingbingmaizhengbingzhi for discriminating convulsion dampness summer heat stroke from febrile diseases is appropriate. Fang Youzhi's deletion Shanghanli("傷寒例") chapter that has a guiding characteristics shows his editorial policy. Fang Youzhi's addition Bianwenbingfengwenzabingmaizhengbingzhi chapter is for discriminating febrile disease from epidemic febrile disease wind warmth syndrome miscellaneous disease and it indicates Shanghanlun is a book of treatment after differentiation of syndromes containing epidemic febrile disease and miscellaneous disease. Through Fang Youzhi's revising method I can see several positive aspects. First he tried to refine the logic of the content of Shanghanlun and accord with an actual situation. Second he shows Shanghanlun is a book of treatment after differentiation of syndromes containing epidemic febrile disease and miscellaneous disease and tried to see Shanghanlun clearly. A criticism of the Preserving Old Edition Shanghanlun group could interrupt flexibility and creative thinking reading Shanghanlun and a criticism to the Sangangdingli Principles of the several exegetists is a productive criticism because medicine treats human being so it cannot be completed by a logic. Conclusions : All of these processes are Fang Youzhi's endeavour for strengthening the system and logicality of the old edition Shanghanlun and it is meaningful to show a method to read Shanghanlun to beginners.

  • Newcastle disease (ND), caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV), has caused periodic epidemics in Korea at an interval of 3 to 5 years until the early 2000s. At least five distinct genotypes of NDV have been responsible for epizootic episodes in Korea; genotype III virus (before the 1970s), genotype V (the mid-1980s), genotype VI (the late 1980s to early 1990s), genotype VIIa (the mid-1990s), and genotype VIId viruses (the late 1990s to present). Recent epidemic strains of NDV (VIId viruses) shared geographical features with neighboring countries such as China and Japan. These VIId viruses as well as genotypes III and V viruses were viscerotropic and highly virulent for chickens. Antigenic variation occurred between VIId field viruses and LaSota vaccine strain, as found in other epidemic strains in past in Korea. Nevertheless the commercial vaccine was considered to effectively protect vaccinated birds from mortality against VIId viruses as well as other viruses belonging to genotypes III and V.
