The critical heat flux (CHF) levels that occurred due to exponential heat inputs for varying periods to a 1.0-mm diameter horizontal cylinder immersed in various liquids were measured to develop an extended database on the effect of high subcoolings for quasi-steady-state and transient maximum heat fluxes. Two main mechanisms of CHF were found. One mechanism is due to the time lag of the hydrodynamic instability (HI) which starts at steady-state CHF upon fully developed nucleate boiling, and the other mechanism is due to the explosive process of heterogeneous spontaneous nucleation (HSN) which occurs at a certain HSN superheat in originally flooded cavities on the cylinder surface. Steady-state CHFs were divided into three regions for lower, intermediate and higher subcooling at pressures resulting from HI, transition and HSN, respectively. HSN consistently occurred in the transient boiling CHF conditions that correspond to a short period. It was also found that the transient boiling CHFs gradually increased, then rapidly decreased and finally increased again as the period became shorter.

This study elucidates the formation mechanism of SnO plate observed during the precipitation reaction of a $SnCl_2$ aqueous solution. $Sn_{21}Cl_{16}(OH)_{14}O_6$ and $Sn_6O_4(OH)_4$ precipitates was formed at pH=3~5 and at pH=11, respectively. When the pH was in the range of 11.5~12.5, the $Sn_6O_4(OH)_4$ precipitates dissolved into $HSnO_2{^-}[Sn_6O_4(OH)_4+4OH^-={6HSnO_2{^-}+2H^+]$ and dissolved $HSnO_2{^-}$ ions reprecipitated to SnO plate $[HSnO_2{^-}+H^+=SnO+H_2O]$. The $Sn_6O_4(OH)_4$ precipitates completely transformed into SnO plate through a repeated process of dissolution-precipitation in the range of pH=11.5~12.5.

A hardware-acceleration architecture that separates virtual network functions (VNFs) and network control (called HSN) is proposed to solve the mismatch between the simple flow steering requirements and strong packet processing abilities of software-defined networking (SDN) forwarding elements (FEs) in SDN/network function virtualization (NFV) architecture, while improving the efficiency of NFV infrastructure and the performance of network-intensive functions. HSN makes full use of FEs and accelerates VNFs through two mechanisms: (1) separation of traffic steering and packet processing in the FEs; (2) separation of SDN and NFV control in the FEs. Our HSN prototype, built on NetFPGA-10G, demonstrates that the processing performance can be greatly improved with only a small modification of the traditional SDN/NFV architecture.

Purpose : It is not clear that the development of glomerular injury and aggravation by tumor necrosis factor alpha($TNF-{\alpha}$) is related to intrarenal or serum concentration of $TNF-{\alpha}$. So, we studied the relationship between the concentration of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and aggravation of glomerular damage in the Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ nephritis(HSN) and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome(INS). Methods : We collected the sera and urines of 21 patients with Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ purpura(HSP) and 22 patients with INS visited Chungbuk National University hospital from March 1998 to March 2001. The concentration of $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the sera and urines were measured by sandwich ELISA. Results : Serum $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels in the HSP patients with renal involvement were significantly higher than those without renal involvement(P=0.009). But urine $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels have no correlation with renal involvement(P=0.088). In the HSN patients, proteinuria have a significant correlation with serum $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels(P=0.004) but less correlation with urine $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels(P=0.053). Otherwise, proteinuria have no correlation with serum $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels(P=0.763) but have a significant correlation with urine $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels(P=0.007) in INS. Conclusion : These result suggest that the serum concentration of $TNF-{\alpha}$ would be important to glomerular involvement in HSP. And, it is interesting that proteinuria shows a significant relation with serum $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels in the HSN, but with urine $TNF-{\alpha}$ levels in the INS. This means the major production of $TNF-{\alpha}$ may be originated by extrarenal inflammation in the HSN and by intrarenal tubulo-interstitial damage due to proteinuria in the INS.

The purpose of this study was to typology the integrated care needs of communitydwelling elderly, explore the socio-demographic characteristics of each type, and determine their effects on depression. The secondary data analyses using the 2017 National Survey of the elderly were conducted. The research results are as follows: First, as a result of typology patterns of care needs of the elderly based on the number of chronic diseases, ADL/IADL, dwelling satisfaction, social activities, and social support networks, three clusters were derived; 'low care needs group (LCN), 'high social needs group (HSN)' and 'complex care needs group (CCN)'. Second, compared to HSN, CCN was characterized by older, women, low educational level and urban residence. Third, the level of depression in LCN was lower than that of the HSN, and the depression level of CCN was higher. The practical and policy implications of the results were discussed.

Hereditary peripheral neuropathies can be categorized as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN), hereditary motor neuropathies (HMN), and hereditary sensory neuropathies (HSN). HMSN, HMN, and HSN are further subdivided into several subtypes. Here, we review the most recent findings in the molecular diagnosis and therapeutic strategy for hereditary peripheral neuropathies. The products of genes associated with hereditary peripheral neuropathy phenotypes are important for neuronal structure maintenance, axonal transport, nerve signal transduction, and functions related to the cellular integrity. Identifying the molecular basis of hereditary peripheral neuropathy and studying the relevant genes and their functions is important to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of these neurodegenerative disorders, as well as the processes involved in the normal development and function of the peripheral nervous system. These advances and the better understanding of the pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathies represent a challenge for the diagnoses and managements of hereditary peripheral neuropathy patients in developing future supportive and curative therapies.

This paper delas with the detection of freehand forgeries of signatures based on the averaged directional amplitudes of gradient vetor which are related to the overall shape of the handwritten signature and fuzzy ARTMAP neural network classifier. In the first step, signature images are extracted from the background by a process involving noise reduction and automatic thresholding. Next, twelve directional amplitudes of gradient vector for each pixel on the signature line are measure and averaged through the entire signature image. With these twelve averaged directional gradient amplitudes, the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network is trained and tested for the detection of freehand forgeries of singatures. The experimental results show that the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network cna lcassify a signature whether genuine or forged with greater than 95% overall accuracy.

The purpose of thins study was to investigate the pollutions of water Qualities in 30 water samples from Nakdong River Western Nakdong River, and Suyoung Stream. COB, BOD. T-N and negative ion(F, Cl+, NO3-, SO42-) of water samples were analysed and the correlationships between water qualities were examined. The mean concentrations of COD(20.26ppm), BOD(25.36ppm), and T-N(18.05ppm) were the highest in the water sample of Suyoung Stream among the three streams and those of F-(0.25ppm), Cl+(2770ppm), and SO42-(37.66ppm) In Western Nakdong River, that of NO3-(10.8 ppm) in Nakdong River. The water quality of Suyoung Stream was the worst among the three streams in hsn area. The correlationships between water qualities were as follows , BOD and COD showed very high correlationship(correlation cofficient, r=0.97),50,2- and NO3'did high one(0.75), and NOa'and COD, BOD did relatively high ones(0.56 and 0.48, respectively).
