멀티미디어 데이타베이스와 같은 고차원 응용에서 유사 색인과 검색은 어려운 문제이며, 특히, 다수의 특성을 함께 색인하는 경우에는 더욱 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 고차원 이미지 데이타베이스에서 복합 유사 질의 및 적합성 피드백을 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 새로운 색인 기법인 GB-색인을 제시한다. GB-색인은 각 특성 차원을 독립적으로 처리함으로써 다수의 특성과 다수의 질의 객체를 유연하게 제어한다. 아울러, 비트맵 색인을 통해 데이타베이스에 있는 모든 객체를 비트맵의 집합으로 표현하여 질의를 효율적으로 처리한다. GB-색인의 기술적인 주된 공헌은 다음과 같다: (1) 고차원 데이타를 위한 효율적인 색인, (2) 효율적인 복합 유사 질의 처리, (3) 적합성 피드백을 위한 분리형 질의의 효과적 처리. 실험 결과에 따르면 GB-색인은 순차 탐색 및 VA-파일에 비해 큰 성능 향상을 보였다.

Introductions: Pneumothorax is the most frequent severe acupuncture-related adverse event occurring at the GB 21 acupoint. This study used ultrasonography (US) to measure the depth of the GB 21 acupoint in adults and assessed its applicability for ensuring safe acupuncture practices. Materials and methods: A US probe was used to measure the vertical depth from the skin to the pleural line of the apex of the lungs at the right and left GB 21 acupoints. The sex, age, body weight, height, and body mass index of each person were recorded. Student t test and generalized estimating equations were used for statistical analysis. Results: Sixty women and 41 men with a median age of 29 years were included in this study. The depth of GB 21 increased with body weight, height, and body mass index (p < 0.001). The mean depth of GB 21 in men (17.4 mm) was greater than that in women (14.6 mm; p < 0.001). The depth difference between the right and left shoulders was significant in men (p < 0.001) but not in women. Conclusions: US can be used to measure GB 21 acupoint depth. Further control studies on its use to ensure safe clinical practices, including preventing acupuncture-related pneumothorax, are warranted.

이 논문은 X-밴드 Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) 시스템을 이용하여 5개의 삼각삼면반사체(triangular trihedral corner reflector)의 시간에 따른 위상변화를 분석하였다. 각각의 반사체는 시스템으로부터의 거리를 다르게 설정하여 고정시켰고 모든 편파에 대한 영상을 20 분 간격으로 123 회, 총 40 시간 동안 연속 측정하였다. SAR 간섭기법(interferometry)을 이용한 분석 결과 반사체는 고정된 상태임에도 불구하고 시간에 따라 최대 2 radian의 위상차가 나타났으며 기상요소와 유사한 추세를 보였다. 대기 중 굴절률을 고려한 GB-SAR 위상관계식을 통하여 대기 중 습도, 기온 및 기압의 변화에 따른 마이크로파 굴절률의 변화 양상을 회귀분석을 통하여 살펴보았다. 그 결과 X-밴드의 굴절률은 습도 및 기온과 비교적 높은 선형적 관계를 보였으나(평균 결정계수 각각 0.72, 0.76) 기압과는 그렇지 않았다(결정계수 0.34). 실험 기간 동안 습도는 약 50 %에서 90 %까지, 기온은 $-1^{\circ}C$에서 $9^{\circ}C$까지 변하였으며 X-밴드 굴절률의 변화는 약 $3.14{\times}10^{-5}$였다. 향후 보다 다양한 기상조건에서 실험이 이루어진다면 습도, 기온 및 기압 조건에 따른 굴절률의 포괄적 관계식을 유추할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives : The objectives of this study is to compare the effects of electroacupuncture(EA), warm needling(WN) and Radio Frequency warm needling(RFWN) stimulations on the acupoints at the artificially damaged ankles of Sprague-Dawley rats, which could be classified as the Grade 3. Methods : The foot weight bearing force ratio(FWBFR) of ankle sprain was measured first at 24 hours after without any other stimulations. Pain Recovery Index(PRI) represents the analgesic level, and modified Pain Recovery Index(mPRI) shows the accumulated recovery level. PRI was measured at 2 hours after each stimulus on GB34, GB39 and GB42, and mPRI was during 7 days. Results : EA stimulation of GB34 and GB39 acupoint in grade 3 ankle sprain showed a marked analgesic and recovery effect. RFWN of GB42 exhibited significant analgesic and pain recovery effect. RFWN of GB34 resulted in pain recovery effect but not analgesic effects, and RFWN of GB39 resulted in analgesic effect 2 hours after but not pain recovery. However, WN did not affect the pain recovery among three acupoints at all. Conclusions : In the Grade 3 ankle sprain model, the difference of analgesic effects were explained by the acupoints and the stimulation methods according to the accumulated recovery effects during 7 days. It is insufficient to determine that a certain acupoint has a specific analgesic effect depending on the stimulation method by the results of this study. Therefore, the effects of each stimulation on the acupoints in any other meridians at the sprained ankle should be compared and analyzed.

Assessment of sustainable production on a cropland can help to determine the most proper management practices. In this study, we evaluated the sustainable production on paddy field treated with green manure crops using sustainability index which based on nutrient index, microbiological index, and crop index related to nutrient-supplying capacity. Especially choosing appropriate indicators from a minimum data set (MDS) were used the principal components analysis (SI-2) as well as expert opinion (SI-1) usually used in sustainability index. Six treatments including the two tillage treatments and two green manure crops were investigated as follows; (i) moldrotary + rotary tillage without green manure crop (Con), with (ii) hairy vetch (Con-HV), and (iii) hairy vetch + green barely (Con-HV+GB), (iv) rotary tillage without green manure crop (Rot), with (ii) hairy vetch (Rot-HV), and (iii) hairy vetch + green barly (Rot-HV+GB). Con-HV and Rot-HV in SI-1 were maintained sustainability while Rot-HV and Rot-HV+GB in SI-2. Especially, treatments (Con and Rot) without green manure crops were more unsustainable than with green manure crops because of the low value of microbiological and crop index than with green manure crops. Meanwhile, sustainability indices and grain yield had the high correlation values ($R^2=0.756$ and 0.928 in SI-1 and SI-2, respectively). These results meant that application of green manure crops such as hairy vetch could improve both yield and soil quality in paddy.

Objectives : To investigate the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) at GB34 on hepatotoxicity in $CCl_4$-intoxicated rats. Methods : Rats were injected with $CCl_4$ and treated with acupuncture or 2 Hz electro-acupuncture (EA) at left GB34 three times a week for 10 weeks. A non-acupoint in left gluteal area was selected as a sham point. To estimate the effects of EA on hepatotoxicity in rats, body weight, liver weight and liver index were measured, and biochemical assays for serum ALT, AST, ALP and total cholesterol, and hematological analysis for RBC, WBC, PLT, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, neutrophils and monocytes, and histology analysis of liver tissue were performed. Results : 1. Lymphocyte level in blood was significantly decreased by $CCl_4$-intoxication and significantly increased by acupuncture and 2 Hz EA at left GB34. 2. Neutrophill and monocyte level in blood was increased by $CCl_4$-intoxication and significantly reduced by acupuncture and 2 Hz EA at left GB34. 3. Acupuncture and 2 Hz EA at left GB34 significantly reduced serum ALT and AST which were increased by $CCl_4$-intoxication. 4. EA at GB34 significantly reduced serum ALT and AST as compared with EA at sham point in $CCl_4$-intoxicated rat. 5. No significant difference was found between the effects of acupuncture and that of 2 Hz EA on $CCl_4$-induced liver damage in rats. Conclusions : 2 Hz EA at GB34 has hepatoprotective effects on $CCl_4$-induced liver damage in rats and the point-specificity of GB34 may be involved in these effects.

본 연구에서는 부여 관북리 유적 "나" 지구에서 출토된 9점의 제철 관련 유물에 대한 분석을 실시하여 제철유구의 성격을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과, GB1과 GB6은 반환원괴로 확인되며, GB2, GB3, GB4, GB5는 정련 과정에서 생성된 단야재로 확인되었다. 노벽 시편인 GB7의 내측에서는 고온지시광물인 Mullite, Cristobalite가 확인되었고, $FeO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2(FAS)$ 삼원상태도에 대입한 단야재의 정출온도는 $1200{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$로 확인되었다. 덩이쇠인 GB8은 괴련강계 단조철기로 확인되었는데, 이는 철기제작을 위한 중간소재로 사용된 것으로 보이며, GB8의 내부에서 관찰되는 비금속 개재물은 단야재의 조직과 성분이 유사함을 알 수 있다. 따라서 부여 관북리 유적 "나" 지구의 제철유적은 직접제철법으로 생산된 괴련철의 정련을 기본으로 하는 소규모 제철시설이었던 것으로 추정할 수 있다.
