Background Ingrown toenail is a common condition that results in chronic pain, recurrent infections, and difficulty in performing daily activities. Our aim is to compare two surgical methods for the treatment of ingrown toenails: wedge resection with curetting versus wedge resection curetting followed by electrocauterization of the nail bed. Methods A prospective, comparative study that included 130 patients with ingrown toenails. All patients had stage II or III disease. We divided the participants into two groups according to the type of surgery and all patients were followed up for 6 months. The outcomes measured were the incidence of postoperative bleeding and infection, recovery time, patient satisfaction, and recurrence rate 6 months after surgery. Results Of the 130 patients included, 59 (45.4%) underwent excision and curetting of the nail matrix (group 1) and 71 (54.6%) underwent excision, curetting, and electrocauterization of the nail matrix (group 2). The postoperative infection rates were 20.3 and 4.2% in the first and second groups, respectively (p = 0.004). Patient satisfaction was 76.3% among the first group, while 91.5% of patients in the second group were satisfied with the results of surgery. Six months postoperatively, recurrence rates were 25.4 and 4.2% in the first and second groups, respectively (p = 0.001). Conclusion Wedge excision and curettage, followed by electrocauterization of the ingrown toenail is a safe treatment modality with a high success rate, that is evident by a lower recurrence rate, and greater patient satisfaction, with no effect on postoperative pain score or recovery time.

Let A and B be matrices which are polynomials in r pairwise commuting nilpotent matrices over a field. We give a sufficient condition for the null space of $A^i$ to equal that of $B^i$ for all i, in particular, for A and B to be similar.

In this article, we present a new notion called "extended metric spaces of type (φ, ρ)" as a generalization of extended b-metric spaces. Also, we establish a fixed point result of a Reich-type contraction on an extended metric space of type (φ, ρ). We also provide several examples to demonstrate the significance of the established results.

In this paper, we consider surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$ which are of finite III-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, corresponding to the third fundamental form. We present an important family of surfaces, namely, tubes in $\mathbb{E}^3$. We show that tubes are of infinite III-type.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum attacks most of the vegetable crops in the Jordan valley. Twenty-five samples/isolates were obtained in a complete coverage of that region. They were characterized for their mycelium incompatibility, and specific gene amplified using the primer SSREV/SSFWD. All isolates gave similar single band around 278 bp. Thirteen isolates were completely incompatible with the other 12 ones. The latter ones fell into four subgroups of mycelium incompatibility. RAPD analysis using three primers (OPA-2, OPA-10, and OPA-18) clustered the 25 isolates into subgroups in agreement with their morphological separation, indicating close correlation between amplified gene(s) and the gene(s) of incompatibility. All highly virulent isolates were among the group of 13, indicating a well established genomic type pathogen in this region.

In this paper, it is shown that if f satisfies the following functional inequality (0.1) $${\parallel}\sum\limits_{i,j=1}^3\;f{(xi,yj)}{\parallel}{\leq}{\parallel}f(x_1+x_2+x_3,\;y_1+y_2+y_3){\parallel}$$ then f is a bi-additive mapping. We moreover prove that if f satisfies the following functional inequality (0.2) $${\parallel}2\sum\limits_{j=1}^3\;f{(x_j,\;z)}+2\sum\limits_{j=1}^3\;f{(x_j,\;w)-f(\sum\limits_{j=1}^3\;xj,\;z-w)}{\parallel}{\leq}f(\sum\limits_{j=1}^3\;xj,\;z+w){\parallel}$$ then f is an additive-quadratic mapping.

산업발전과 기술의 대형화. 고도화 등으로 인하여 매년 방대한 양리 정보가 처리되고 있다 정보화를 이루기 위해서는 대부분 종이로 기록뇌어 내려오던 정보를 컴퓨터에 저장하여 적기적소에 사용할 수 있어야 한다. 문자인식을 위한 신경망의 학습에 있어서 출력 값을 재사용하는 신경망모델로는 순환신경망이 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들의 대부분은 오프라인 필기체문자와 같은 정적인 패턴의 분류에 있어서는 효과적으로 적락되지 않는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 오프라인 필기체문자와 같은 정적인 패턴을 효과적으로 분류하기 위한 새로운 형태의 순환신경망을 제안한다. 본 논문은 Jordan과 Elman Model을 확장 결합한 새로운 J-도(Jordan-Elman) 신경망 모델을 사용하여 숫자 및 필기체 문자와 같은 정적인 패턴의 인식에서 기존의 신경망보다 성능이 향상되었음을 보여준다.

Structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety of nuclear facilities shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions. Although SSC classification guidelines for nuclear power plants have been well established and applied, those for research reactors have been only recently established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Korea has operated a pool-type research reactor (the High Flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor) and has recently exported another pool-type reactor (Jordan Research and Training Reactor), which is being built in Jordan. Korea also has a plan to build one more pool-type reactor, the Kijang Research Reactor, in Kijang, Busan. The safety classification of SSCs for pool-type research reactors is proposed in this paper based on the IAEA methodology. The proposal recommends that the SSCs of pool-type research reactors be categorized and classified on basis of their safety functions and safety significance. Because the SSCs in pool-type research reactors are not the pressure-retaining components, codes and standards for design of the SSCs following the safety classification can be selected in a graded approach.

Hemiculter eigenmanni (Jordan and Metz, 1913)의 유효성을 알아보기 위하여, Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855)의 총모식 표본 2개체, H. eigenmanni (Jordan and Metz, 1913)의 완모식 표본에 대해 형태학적 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 이들 2종의 일부 형태학적 차이점들은 한국에서 채집된 다수의 비교 표본들을 통하여 종내의 변이임이 밝혀졌고, H. eigenmanni는 H. leucisculus의 신참 동종이명으로 확인되었다.

일조시간(日照時間)과 일조률(日照率) 관측(觀測)에 사용(使用)하는 Jordan 일조계(日照計)(기상태용(氣象台用))와 Bimetal 일조계(日照計)(관측소용(觀測所用))의 관측(觀測)값에는 서로 차이(差異)가 있으며, 측정(測定)되는 지점(地點)도 다르다. 그러나 일사자원(日射資源)의 지리적(地理的) 분포(分布) 및 일조시간(日照時間)에 따른 일사양(日射量의 추정(推定)에는 동일(同一한) 지표(指標)를 사용하여 구하여야 할 것이다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)는 Jordan 일조계(日照計)와 Bimetal 일조계(日照計)의 측정(測定)값의 상호관계(相互關係)를 구(求)하고, 이들 계측기(計測機)에 의한 일조시간(日照時間)과 일조률(日照率)의 지리적(地理的) 분포(分布)의 차리(差異)를 분석한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. Jordan 일조계(日照計)로 측정한 일조시간(日照時間)은 Bimetal 일조계(日照計)의 일조시간(日照時間)보다 평균(平均) 한달에 $50{\sim}60$ 시간(時間)이 낮게 나타나는 경향(傾向)이었다. 2. Jordan 일조계(日照計)의 일조율(日照率)은 Bimetal 일조계(日照計)의 일조율(日照率)보다 $5{\sim}10\;%$ 낮게 나타나는 경향(傾向)이었다. 3. 일조시간(日照時間)이 가장 긴 달은 5월(月)이었으며, 일조률(日照率)은 10月이 가장 높고 7월(月)이 낮았다. 4. 두 계측기(計測機) 간(間)에 일조시간(日照時間)의 차이(差異)는 겨울철에는 적었고, 여름철에는 커지는 경향(傾向)이었다. 5. 월별(月別) 일조시간(日照時間)의 표준편차(標準偏差)는 측후소(測候所)가 $11{\sim}32$시간(時間), 관측소(觀測所) $17{\sim}25$ 시간(時間)이었고, 일조율(日照率)은 각각 $3{\sim}11\;%$, $4{\sim}9\;%$로 기상태(氣象台)보다 관측소(觀測所)가 변화(變化)의 폭(幅)이 적었다. 6. 일조시간(日照時間)과 일조률(日照率)의 분포(分布)는 남부해안지방(南部海岸地方)이 가장 높았고, 중북부지방(中北部地方)이 낮았으며, 서(西) 해안(海岸)보다 동해안(東海岸)이 높은 경향(傾向)이었다.
