Introduction: To compare the change in frontal ramal inclination (FRI) in laterognathism after orthognathic surgery. Materials and Methods: Twenty four patients (10 men, 14 women; mean age, $22.8{\pm}5.2$ years) with minimal facial canting (${\leq}$ 2 mm) and apparent menton deviation ($5.9{\pm}2.4\;mm$) who had been operated on to correct facial asymmetry and skeletal CIII malocclusion, were selected. On a preoperative posteroanterior (PA) cephalogram, the FRI of the deviated side and non deviated side, L1 deviation amounts and menton deviation amounts were measured. The FRI differences between both sides were compared, and the correlations between the measured deviated elements and the FRI differences were analyzed. On a postoperative PA cephalogram, the shifting amount of L1, shifting amount of L7 and FRI of both sides were measured, and the correlations between the shifting elements and the change in FRI were analyzed. Results: On the preoperative PA cephalogram, the FRI of the non deviated side was significantly greater than those of the deviated side. The differences in FRI, with a menton deviation amount showed a significant correlation. On the postoperative PA cephalogram, the FRI differences between the deviated and non deviated side were decreased significantly and mandibular transverse movement toward central position was noted. The mean shifting amounts of L7 were associated with the amount of change in the deviated side of FRI. Conclusion: Transverse shifting of the mandible through orthognathic surgery decreases the FRI difference, which showed laterognathism, and improves the facial contour.

The fire risk and fire safety of four types of wood were comprehensively evaluated according to Chung's equation-XII. White ash, willow, fraxinus mandshurica, and sagent cherry trees were selected as test specimens. A cone calorimetery (ISO 5660-1) was used to examine the combustion characteristics of the test piece, and finally, the fire risk rating (FRR) was predicted using the fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII). The predicted fire performance index-X (FPI-X) and fire growth index-X (FGI-X) ranged from 469.03 to 1109.73 s²/kW and 0.0009 to 0.0280 kW/s², respectively. Additionally, the fire performance index-XI (FPI-XI) and fire growth index-XI (FGI-XI) ranged from 0.41 to 0.97 and 1.11 to 3.11, respectively. The fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII), representing a fire risk rating, showed that the fire risk of frasxinus mandsurica tree (FM) was very high at 7.60 (fire risk rating: D). And it was compared with Chung's equation-IX, fire risk index-IX (FRI-IX). The fire risk ratings according to FRI-IX and FRI-XII were generally high for willow and frasxinus mandsurica trees. Additionally, the results of FRI-XII and FRI-IX had a similar relationship, and the size of each fire safety rating closely matched each other.

This paper presents the comparison of FRI(Foot Rotation Indicator) point and ZMP(Zero Moment Point) in biped robot stability. We showed FRI may be employed as a useful tool in stability analysis in biped robot. Also, we proposed the balancing joint trajectory derived from FRI point equation for stable gait. The numerical calculation routines and walking algorithms for simulation are performed by MATLAB. The procedure is composed of the leg trajectory planning, the generation of balancing trajectory, and the verification of dynamic stability.

Selective breeding and hybridization were attempted to improve shiitake(Lentinus edodes) strains for bed-log cultivation, and the results obtained are as follows. 1. Thirty five strains collected in Korea and abroad were cultivated for one generation(five years) and fruit body yields were estimated by the amounts produced from $1m^3$ of oak tree(Quercus mongolica) logs. Thus, three high-temperature type strains including FRI 177 showing productivity of $139kg/m^3log$, two mid-temperature type strains including FRI 188 of $120kg/m^3log$, and seven low-temperature type strains including FRI 187 of $96kg/m^3log$ were selected as superior strains. 2. Twelve hybrid strains confirmed as independent strains through indoor-test with hybrid strains made by Di-mon mating method were cultivated for five years(one generation). Among them, FRI 182 and FRI 184 were turned out to be superior strains. FRI 182 of high-temperature type showed the yield of 108kg per $1m^3logs$ and FRI 184 of low-temperature type produced $103kg/m^3log$. 3. There were no significant differences in productivity among high-, mid- and low-temperature types, but some differences appeared among strain groups. The correlation was not shown in productivities between bed-log and sawdust cultivations.

Purpose: This study examine the functioning level and quality of life (QoL) of people with non-specific neck pain and neck pain with radiculopathy using the neck disability index (NDI), functional rating index (FRI), and short form of health survey 36 (SF-36) and each of linked lCF code lists of those scales. Methods: Each item of the NDI, FRI, and SF-36 were linked conceptually to the ICF code, and the lCF code lists of those scales were produced as iNDI, iFRI, and iSF-36, respectively. Seventy-nine patients with neck pain filled the instruments and its linked ICF code lists. The subjects were divided into two groups based on the diagnosis, non-specific neck pain (Group1), and neck pain with radiculopathy (Group2). A group comparison was performed using an independent t-test. The Pearson correlation coefficient was also used to analyze the relationships between each scale and the linked ICF code list. Results: The participants in Group 2 experienced more difficulties in their daily activities than those in Group 2 when examined in NDI and FRI (p<0.05). This result was also found consistently in the ICF code lists, iNDI and iFRI (p=0.05). On the other hand, the QoL did not show a difference between groups (p=0.06). A strong correlation was observed between the instruments and linked ICF code lists: NDI and iNDI (r=0.90), FRI and iFRI (r=0.91), and SF-36 and iSF-36 (r=-0.61). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the concept of each item in NDI and FRI could be linked to the ICF codes when examining patients with neck pain, but the items of SF-36 were found to be linked and expressed in ICF.

대한민국에서 홍수는 매해 여름 발생하는 자연재해로 인명, 재산, 사회 기반시설에 심각한 피해를 일으키고 있으며, 기후변화로 인해 홍수 사상이 과거와는 다른 형태이다. 이를 대비하기 위해서는 기후변화를 고려한 홍수 위험도(flood risk)를 평가를 통해 적절한 대비책을 수립하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 전국의 홍수위험도를 중권역 별로 평가하는 홍수위험지수(Flood Risk Index, FRI)를 새로이 개발하였다. FRI는 세 가지 세부 지표인 위협도, 노출도, 대응능력(Hazard, Exposure, Capacity)의 결합으로 산정된다. 위협도는 직접적인 홍수의 원인이 되는 기상학적 요인인 강수에 대한 정보이고, 노출도는 홍수로부터 피해를 입을 수 있는 인명 및 재산에 대한 요소이다. 대응능력은 자연 환경과 인간의 중장기 전략을 고려한 적응능력(adaptive capacity)과 홍수 발생 시 조치능력(coping capacity)으로 나눠져 평가된다. 즉 위협도와 노출도가 높을수록 홍수 위험도가 커지며, 대응능력이 뛰어날수록 홍수 위험도는 줄어든다. 인자들은 특정 유형의 위험도에만 초점이 맞춰지지 않고 다양한 방면을 포괄적으로 평가할 수 있도록 선정되었으며, 통계 기법을 활용해 FRI를 산정하였다. 크론바흐 알파 계수(Cronbach's ${\alpha}$)를 통해 FRI의 타당성을 진단하였으며, 홍수피해금액간의 스피어만(Spearman) 상관계수를 통해 FRI의 설명력을 검증해 신뢰도를 제고했다. 최종적으로 환경부로부터 제공받은 미래 기후 시나리오를 사용하여 FRI를 산출해 미래의 세 시점(2030년대, 2050년대, 2080년대)의 전국 홍수위험도 평가를 진행하였다.

The aim of study is to present how to estimate and use the FRI (Flood Risk Index) for classifying area zones based on regional flooding risk in terms of the integrated flood risk management. To estimate the FRI at a spatial resolution of city/county/town units for the Nakdong River Watershed, the 17 representative flood indexing factors are carefully selected for the three flood indexes, such as PI (Pressure Index), SI (State Index), and RI (Response Index) under the P-S-R (Pressure-State-Response) classification system. Because flood indexing factors are measured at different scales and units, they are transformed into a common domain by the T-Score normalization technique. The entropy weight coefficient method is also applied to calculate the weight of flood indexing factors in order to reduce subjective judgement on the effect of weight coefficients. The three flood indexes of PI, SI, and RI are integrated for an overall value of the FRI to evaluate the flood risk of districts. To examine the practical application of the proposed FRI, the FRI results with/without the weight coefficients are compared with flooding zones of natural disaster risk areas officially announced in 2010. It is expected that the FRI ensured by full verification can make regional protection plans against flooding disasters with respect to causes and characteristics of past floods.

Streptomyces lavendulae FRI-5 produces the ${\gamma}$-butyrolactone autoregulator IM-2, which is required for nucleoside antibiotic producetion. We have developed a system for introducing DNA into S. lavendule FRI-5 via conjugal transfer from Esherichia cole. Conditions were established for conjugation of the oriT-and attP-containing plasmid pSET152 from E. coli ET12567 (pUZ8002) to FRI-5. Conjugation resulted in integration of the plasmid at the chromosomal C31 attB site. The frequency of intergeneric conjugation varied with the medium used. The highest frequency ($1.6\times10-5$ per recipient) was obtained on ISP medium 2 containing 10mM MgCl2. Southern blot and phenotypic analyses of exconjugants revealed that S. lavendulae FRI-5 contains a unique C31 attB site, and that integration of heterologous DNA into the attB site did not interfere with morphological differentiation or IM-2-dependent signal transduction, including the production of a blue pigment. This system will now enable detailed genetic analysis of the regulation of antibiotic production in S. lavendulae FRI-5.

Studies were conducted on the conditions for yeast protoplast regeneration in Hansenula anomala var.anomala FRI YO-32 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Protoplasts lysed when suspended in hypotonic solutions of KCI, and the least degree of osmolysis was shown in the hypertonic solution containing 1.4M KCI for the strain FRI YO-32 or 0.8M KCI for S. cerevisiae. It was considered that the concentration of agrar and KCI, and protoplast plating method were the main factors influencing regeneration of yeast protoplasts. Yeast protoplasts were regenerated very favorably when embedded in the complete protoplast regeneration media containing 3％ agar as well as 0.4M KCI for the strain FRI YO-32 or 1.0M KCI for S. cerevisiae. It was shown from the relationship between protoplast formation and regeneration that the higher extent of protoplast formation, the lower extent of protoplast regeneration.

Recently, as Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and self-driving system become influential in the ground transportation system, automotive radar systems have been actively studied among the various radar systems to implement the vehicle collision detection system and distance measurement system between vehicles. Most of the automotive radars are Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar type which can calculate distance and velocity of target by estimating the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and received signal. Therefore, accurate frequency estimation is very important in the FMCW radar system. For this reason, to improve the measurement accuracy of the FMCW radar, Reverse Directional FRI (RD-FRI) Super-Resolution technique which has high frequency estimation accuracy is applied to the FMCW radar system. The feasibility of the proposed technique is evaluated with simulation results and compared with FFT and conventional Super-Resolution techniques. The simulation results show that the proposed technique estimates the frequency with high accuracy and the distance with centimeter accuracy.
