  • Mauremys reevesii is a Korean endemic turtle, and designed as an endangered species and national monument in South Korea. Recently, the population of the species has been dramatically declining because of habitat destruction, pollution and illegal capture. Moreover, small population size, difficulty of securing individuals, and lack of research are factors that impede the effective management of the species. In this study, we tested the effect of individual breeding and feeding on the seven juveniles of M. reevesii. Our results showed individual breeding and feeding were guaranteed the effective growth and development. Noticeable growth was confirmed in both body weight and carapace length. Moreover, the size difference among the individuals appeared at the start of this study decreased at the end of this study. Artificial breeding during the wither season was not caused disorders on the growth, behavior and morphology. This individual breeding may lead to effective growth and development, and it will be a way to increase the survival rate when the juveniles released into the wild.

  • The needs for the home care of postpartum mothers and their infants are increasing, but the quality control of home care nurses is not developed yet. The objective of this study is to develop assessment - intervention algorithms for the home care of postpartum mothers and their infants. We can use these algorithms when we assess the client's condition, and find appropriate nursing interventions. Also, these algorithms can offer guidelines for home care nurses, so that standardization of home care can be attained. Common problems for postpartum mothers are postpartum hemorrhage, abnormal vaginal discharge(endometritis), episiotomy pain, breast problems, breastfeeding difficulty, edema, urinary dysfunction and defecation difficulties. Also, commom problems for infants are abnormal body temperature, tarchycardia, respiratory problem, neonatal jaundice, cord problem, abnormal stool, breast feeding, and bathing. These algorithms can be used as a basis for the development of computerized infomation system for the home health care.

  • The goal of this research is to develop a Heel/Side Laster and control GUI(Graphic User Interface) for adaptive manufacturing. For this purpose, we have analyzed the working sequences of heel/side laster, and developed a control program that will facilitate the machineries with functions that are suitable for adaptive manufacturing. We also made it possible to modify the gluing path with simple manipulation of CAD data. By providing a user-friendly GUI, we made it possible for unskilled workers use the system without difficulty. In addition, we have developed a flexible environment where the already available CAD data can be modified and saved with ease. Automatic feeding and path control algorithms for thermoplastic cement were also implemented. By using the Heel/Side Laster for adaptive manufacturing, we are able to achieve increased productivity and work efficiency while improving the quality of the product with self-diagnosis and fine adjustment function.

  • When micrognathia (Small jaw) and glossoptosis (Falling backward of the tongue) occur in the newborn, there is a grave danger of upper airway obstruction. These deformities are frequently associated with an incomplete cleft of the palate, and the entity has been referred to as the Pierre Robin Syndrome. This is to report a case of Pierre Robin Syndrome of 40 day old Korean male infant, whose birth weight was about 3.6kg, and gestation period was 39 weeks. From birth, dyspnea and feeding difficulty were developed. The authors treated the patient by surgical procedure (glossopexy). The post operative course was uneventful.

  • In this paper, simulation results of a robust digital tracking controller on a robotic manipulator are presented. The objective is to follow a ramp reference input with zero steady state error in the presence of a disturbance and system parameter variations. Some of the difficulties are caused by the Coulomb frictions, the disturbance due to the gravitational pull, the spring effect of a link between the drive motor and the manipulator arm. Another difficulty is that, because of the non-differentiable Coulomb friction, the digital control system cannot be represented as a discrete system. It is thus necessary to design the controller based on a discrete-continuous hybrid model. The controller is based on feeding back the state variables and augmenting the system by addition discrete integrators. The feedback gain parameters are obtained by applying the quadratic optimal control theory and then choosing the new weighting matrices to eliminate the limit cycle by using the describing function method for hybrid system.

  • This paper proposes a new filter topology that suppresses the high voltage gradient(dv/dt) in ac motor terminals. The high voltage gradient(dv/dt) causes over voltages on the motor windings, the degradation or motor insulation, and the bearing failure. Moreover surge voltage with high voltage gradient(dv/dt) in the PWM inverter red drive system where long line cables are required causes more serious problem to the motor. Thus, the most advisable method is attaching output filter to the inverter output terminals. The conventional output filters have several problems such as bulky size, difficulty or parameter tuning. The proposed filter can be relatively smaller than the conventional filters. By the proposed filter, the shaping or PWM waveform can considerably suppress high dv/dt in motor feeding cable from the inverter. The effectiveness or the proposed filter is compared with that or the conventional one and is verified by the computer simulation.

  • Introduction : Oral motor function is basic function of sensory exploration, feeding, and communication, that develops from the fetal stage to childhood. Problems with oral motor function result in difficulty within handling food in the oral cavity, decreased swallowing and feeding skills, difficulty with communication, and problems with oral hygiene. To treat these symptoms, oral motor therapy is provided for normalizing sensory adaptation in the oral cavity, and increasing postural control, oral movement and oral motor function. Discussion : The oral motor facilitation technique (OMFT) was developed for increasing general and integrated oral motor function based on the following: 1) understanding orofacial muscular physiology; 2) a comprehensive approach to sensory·adaptation·behavior·cognition; 3) sensorimotor stimulation by a manual approach; 4) motor control and motor learning theory. The OMFT is a new evidence-based treatment protocol, for children and adults with neuromuscular and oral motor problems. Conclusion : The goal of this article is to provide a theoretical background for OMFT development and the basic concept for the clinical application of OMFT. We hope that this article will help oral motor therapy experts to provide effective therapy in a more professional way.

  • Objectives : Shanghanlon is based on the Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)'s theory. Therefore, the contents of the Naegyeong can interpret Shanghanlon's provision, Chengwuji(成無己) followed the same way. Therefore, I studied the relationship between the symptom of Shanghanlon and the defensive Gi(衛氣), I try to prove that the Naegyeong is the theoretical basis of Shanghanlon. Methods : Naegyeong explains that defensive Gi protects the outer parts of the body, and runs the outer parts of the body. So I will explain the spontaneous sweating(自汗) aversion to cold(惡寒) pain(痛症) fever(發熱) difficulty of urination(小便不利) using the function of defensive Gi. Results & Conclusions : The defensive Gi and the nutrient Gi(營氣) run together, if the defensive Gi is weak, can not protect the nutrient Gi. If the defensive Gi does not perform the function of inducing astringency(固攝), the symptom of spontaneous sweating appears. If aversion to cold is caused by the weak of defensive Gi, we use the treatment of warming the Yang(溫陽). If aversion to cold is caused by the defensive Gi can not run, we use the treatment of activating the Yang(通陽). If the Gi and Blood(氣血) is not feeding properly, the pain occurs. In this case, we use the treatment of activating the Yang(通陽). The fever is caused by the stagnation of defensive Gi. If the defensive Gi is weak, the symptom of difficulty of urination appears.

  • In 1923, Pierre Robin, a French stomatologist, first reported the association of micrognathia with glossoptosis. As more than 80% of all Pierre Robin cases accompanied with other syndrome such as Stickler syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, etc, it is called Pierre Robin sequence(PRS). PRS is described in the literature as a triad of anomalies characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis and cleft palate. Clinically, the triad consists of airway obstruction and feeding difficulty, which are more frequent and severe in the neonatal period. In this case, a 14-month old boy with PRS was referred to the department of pediatric dentistry, Yonsei university dental hospital, who resolved airway obstruction by lateral positioning and feeding problem by percutaneous endocutaneous gastrotomy insertion. PRS is a developmental disorder as well as an anatomic obstructive disorder, therefore it should be dealt with by a multidisciplinary team.
