오늘날 웹은 급속도로 확산되어 교육에 있어서 필수적인 존재로 강력한 힘을 발휘하게 되었다. 사이버 교육 환경의 시대를 맞이하여 웹을 이용한 학습 활동의 비중은 점점 더 증가되었지만 대다수의 웹기반 교수 (Web-based Instruction : WBI)학습 사이트들이 비장애인 중심의 사용자 인터페이스로 설계됨에 따라 청각 장애인을 학습 공간에서 격리 시키고 학습 능력을 저하시키는 이중 장애를 발생시키고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최근 청각 장애인의 교육방법으로 대두되고 있는 이중언어-이중문화 접근법 (Bilingual Method : 2Bi 이론)을 활용하여 청각 장애인의 WBI 학습 능력을 신장시킬 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스를 설계하였다. 본 사용자 인터페이스의 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청각 장애인의 웹접근성을 고려한 인터페이스를 설계하여 청각 장애 학습자가 보다 쉽게 학습 공간에 접근하게 하였다. 둘째, 청각 장애인의 장애 정도 및 학습 성취 정도에 따라 3단계 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하여 수준별 학습이 가능하다. 셋째, 순차적 반복 학습이 가능하여 청각 장애인의 학습 능력뿐 아니라 의사소통 기능 향상에도 긍정적인 영향을 제공한다.

본 논문은 DC-DC 플라이백 컨버터 회로를 바탕으로, 고전압 입력으로부터 다채널의 절연된 저전압을 출력하는 고압 SMPS에 관한 것이다. 제안된 토폴로지는 고전압을 분배하는 커패시터와 MCU 전용의 커패시터를 직렬로 구성하고, 각 커패시터에 분배된 전압을 입력으로 다중여자 방식의 플라이백 컨버터 구조로 되어있다. 직렬 커패시터 구조는 고압환경에서의 소자들의 절연 및 전압스트레스를 저감할 수 있으며, MCU 전용의 커패시터는 시스템의 초기구동을 위한 자가충전(Self-Power) 및 Black-Start의 시스템 안정화 구조이다. 또한 다중여자방식은 변압기의 단일 코어를 사용하여 스위칭 전류를 흘려줌으로서 커패시터의 전압불균형을 막을 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 제안된 토폴로지는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

A 10-year-old gelding Warmblood weighing 560 kg was referred to J&C Equine Hospital with the history of hyperpnea, depression, pawing, and rolling for 7 hours. According to the results of clinical and ultrasound examination, it was considered that intestines were distended with thickened wall. The horse had been treated with lactated Ringers' solution (14 L, IV), flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, IV), and mineral oil (1 L, PO), but he did not show any responses to those treatments. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and identified incarcerated small intestine through the epiploic foramen. The horse received resection and anastomosis of the entrapped small intestine. After surgery, the horse was treated with intensive postoperative care of fluid therapy (5 L with 20 mEq/L KCl, every 2 hours), flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, IV, sid), antibiotics (penicillin 22,000 IU/kg, IV, qid and gentamicin 6.6 mg/kg, IV, sid), lidocaine constant rate infusion (bolus 1.3 mg/kg over 15 minutes then 0.05 mg/kg/minute), common nutritional supplements, nasogastric intubation every 2 hours and trunk bandage. Postoperative feeding program had started with small amount of hay every 4 hours and gradually increased to normal amount till 5 days. At 77 days after surgery, he showed sudden outbreak of colic and was euthanized. The causes of colic were small intestinal strangulation by passing through the mesenteric rents and postoperative adhesion between small intestines. According to the results, it is recommended to perform perioperative intensive care of horse with colic and to use several methods to prevent adhesions during abdominal surgery of horses.

Background: TNF-alpha is related to the generation of lung fibrosis in patients with UIP. The precise mechanism leading to lung fibrosis by TNF-alpha is unknown. However, the activation of a transcription factor like AP-1(down stream of c-jun N-terminal kinase, JNK) by TNF-alpha may be related to the induction of fibrogenic cytokines like PDGF or IGF-I. Furthermore, JNK was reported to be activated in the radiation-induced lung fibrosis model. This study examined JNK activity in patients with UIP. Methods : The expression of phosphorous JNK(p-JNK), macrophage/monocyte specific markers, CD68, and cytokeratin was evaluated by immunohistochemical(IHC) staining of lung tissues from patients with UIP and lung cancer. An in vitro kinase assay was performed with alveolar macrophages obtained by a bronchol-avleolar lavage from patients with UIP and healthy persons as the control. Results : The IHC stain showed that p-JNK is expressed in the almost all of the alveolar macrophages and smooth muscle cells in patients with UIP. In case of the normal areas of the lung from patients with lung cancer, the alveolar macrophages showed little p-JNK expression. Interestingly, increased JNK activity was not found in the in vitro kinase assay of the alveolar macrophages obtained from both patients with UIP and healthy persons as the control. Furthermore, 10 ng/mL of TNF-alpha failed to increase the JNK activity of the alveolar macrophages in both patients with UIP and healthy people. Conclusion : The JNK was activated constitutionally in patients with UIP. However, the role of JNK in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis needs to be clarified.

To evaluate the effect of damaged bronchial epithelium on epithelial permeability and physiologic changes of the airway in patients with bronchial asthma, we measured the concentration of protein and albumin in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), the width of intercellular junction and bronchial hyperreactivity in 22 patients with bronchial asthma and 21 healthy subjects. The results were as follows: 1) The concentration of protein in BALF from patients with bronchial asthma was higher when compared with that of normal subjects ($237{\pm}182$ vs $113{\pm}78\;{\mu}g/mL$, p<0.05), and the concentration of albumin was also higher than that of normal subjects ($116{\pm}126$ vs $32{\pm}88\;{\mu}g/mL$, p<0.05). The ratio of the concentration of protein in BALF to that in serum was increased in patients with bronchial asthma when compared with that of normal subjects ($0.35{\pm}0.30$ vs $0.16{\pm}0.11%$, p<0.05). 2) The intercellular junction of bronchial epithelium was widened in 14 of 20 patients with bronchial asthma, in contrast, 5 of 14 normal subjects (p<0.05). The mean width of intercellular junction was greater when compared with that of normal subjects ($1.71{\pm}1.81$ vs $0.56{\pm}0.85\;{\mu}m$, p<0.05). The width was well correlated with the ratio of protein in BALF to that of serum (r=0.3226, p=0.047) when observed in 18 patients with bronchial asthma and 10 patients with normal subjects. 3) The bronchial hyperreactivity, expressed as $PC_{20}$, was inversely correlated with the concentration of protein in BALF (r=-0.3030, p=0.038) in when observed in 18 patients with bronchial asthma and 19 normal subjects. 4) The width of intercellular junction was well inversely correlated with $PC_{20}$ (r=-0.5006, p=0.002) when observed in 19 patients with bronchial asthma and 11 patients with normal subjects. In conclusion, increased permeability and the damage of bronchial epithelium may lead to change of bronchial hyperreactivity.

In this paper, we propose an efficient video streaming system over heterogeneous wireless networks. The proposed system modifies fountain code for the video streaming service and maximizes the target video encoding rate using multiple paths while satisfying delay and block recovery failure rate constraints of fountain code. Finally, the proposed system provides the seamless video streaming service of high quality to subscribers by dynamic adaptation of control parameters based on the states of each path over heterogeneous wireless networks.

발달장애 아동의 특성상 교육활동의 효율성을 극대화하기 위하여 구체적인 자료 지원과 실제적인 학습이 가능한 현장체험학습 활동이 요구된다. 그러나 많은 장애요인 및 위험요소로 인해 장애아동의 체험학습이 이루어지기 어렵고, 이미 교실에서 학습된 지식이라 하더라도 실생활의 문제 상황에 적용하는데 어려움을 겪는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주어진 상황과 맥락 하에서 스스로 지식을 구성하고 적용하는 상황학습 이론을 기반으로 발달장애 아동의 기초학습 능력 및 사회성 향상을 위한 모바일 현장체험학습 지원 시스템을 설계하였다. 본 모바일 현장체험학습 지원 시스템의 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 발달장애 아동의 구체적이고 실제적인 학습을 위해 현장 체험학습을 활성화 시키고 보다 효과적으로 운영 지원할 수 있다. 둘째, 상황학습 이론을 적용하여 단순한 지식의 습득 차원에서 머무르는 것이 아니라 실제적인 문제 상황에서 지식을 적용할 수 있는 능력을 키울 수 있다. 셋째, 시스템 설계시 장애인의 웹접근성 및 모바일 환경에서의 인터페이스의 특징을 고려하여 설계함으로써 장애아동이 학습 공간에 보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있다. 넷째, 학습 모듈별 반복 학습이 가능하여 발달장애 아동의 기초학습 능력 뿐 아니라 사회적 기능 향상에도 긍정적인 영향을 제공한다.

The purpose of this paper is to review the occurrence, analytical methods and reduction methods of aflatoxins in foods. Aflatoxins are produced by the secondary metabolism of various fungal species and have the highest toxicity among mycotoxins. Due to their toxicity including carcinogenic activity, aflatoxins affect not only the health of humans ana animals but also the economics of agriculture and food. As a food-importing country, because aflatoxins could contaminate raw commodities and foodstuffs, there should be inspection on the exposure and the regulation of risk assessment as a food safety measure. In addition, studies on rapid analytical methods and reduction of toxicity by various processes for aflatoxins should be carried out in conjunction with those of the risk assessment of aflatoxins.

Traumatic dislocation of the peroneus longus tendon is an often unrecognized injury which has been reported to occur most commonly during sports activity. Most acute cases with early detection can be treated by simple repair of the tendon or retinaculum using one of several procedures available. Accurate treatment through a comprehensive evaluation of the ankle injury prevents suboptimal and sometimes unrecorrectable outcomes. The authors experienced concomitantly the peroneus longus tendon dislocation associated with a trimalleolar fracture of the ankle. We report this case a brief review of the literature.
