  • Objective: Various methods of treatment for idiopathic cervical dystonia have been tried in the past with unsatisfactory results. The authors report cases of five patients who underwent selective peripheral denervation for spasmodic torticollis. Methods: Between July 2002 and December 2003, 5 patients underwent surgery at St. Mary's Hospital for spasmodic torticollis. Age of the patient at the onset of symptoms ranged from 29 to 56years (mean 43.75years). Selective peripheral denervation(SPD) was performed at 7 to 11 months after the onset of symptoms (mean 8.75 months). A patient was considered to be the candidate for surgery if conservative methods were unsuccessful and symptoms persisted for longer than 7months. In addition, 2patients who refused treatment with botulinum toxin were also enrolled in this study. Results: Although one patient underwent reoperation, all of the five patients' symptoms were improved after the operation. Clinically, patients with retrocollis showed better improvement than laterocollis patients. Conclusion: Although injection of botulinum toxin is the first-choice in treatment modality, when surgery is required, selective peripheral denervation provides good results with minimum side effects.

  • This paper presents the simulation of traction power supply system for the evaluation of voltage drop in Kyungbu high speed line. This simulation is performed in circumstance of extended feeding through vicinity substation. Extended feeding should be considered from design of system. Therefore, voltage drop at extended feeding must be accepted against regulation. In this paper, voltage drop is evaluated under condition of extended feeding targeting section from Shinchungju and Pyungtaek S/S.

  • 본 논문에서는 실감형 Networked Virtual Environment (NVE)의 사실성 증진을 위한 Non Player Character (NPC)의 지능적 제어 프레임워크를 제안한다. 이 프레임워크는 반응의 다양성, 실시간성 그리고 NPC의 능동성면에서 기존 게임에서 사용되는 NPC 구현 기법과 차이가 있다. 기존 NPC 제어구조의 경우, 휴먼 사용자의 행동에 따른 NPC의 반응이 일정 스크립트나 규칙에 따르기 때문에 정형적이며, 또한 NPC의 반응시간에 대한 실시간성을 고려하지 않고 있다. 또한 NPC는 휴먼 사용자의 액션에 반응하는 종속적이고 수동적인 역할만을 담당한다. 제안하는 프레임워크에서는 NPC는 각자의 취향을 가지고 있어 다양한 반응과 행동양식을 보일 수 있으며, NPC의 행동 결정 시간에 어느 정도 실시간성을 부여할 수 있으며, 또한 NPC의 역할이 수동적 형태에서 벗어나 능동적으로 계획하여 행동을 실행할 수 있다. 프레임워크의 구현을 위해 SWI-Prolog의 Rule based 추론엔진과 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하였다.

  • Stable and tunable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser(EDFL) using a single fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and two coil heaters is proposed and demonstrated. Installing two identical coils into a single FBG, the FBG is symmetrically divided into two different portions. While a current supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FBG under the coil is changed. The FBG can operate as a joint of two different FBGs. Due to the thermo-optic effect of a fiber, the resonance wavelength split into two peaks. The spacing between two adjacent channels was changed as much as the difference of heating power. It was tuned up to 3 nm of wavelength under the electrical power with a 1000 mW. Moreover, the lasing wavelength can be individually tuned without influencing to the adjacent channel.

  • 전기철도차량에서 사용한 부하전류는 귀환 회로인 궤도를 통해 변전소로 유입한다. 전기철도차량에서 사용하는 전력변환장치 때문에 부하전류에는 고조파가 함유되고 이 고조파 전류는 외부통신선에 영향을 주지 않아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 한국형 고속열차를 대상으로 고조파 전류를 측정하여 외부통신선 영향을 평가하는 등가방해전류로 환산하고 그 기준으로 평가한 결과를 소개한다.

  • In the present study, naturally generated bubbles were investigated to be sure if they could be adopted as the tracer for PIV techniques. The bubble can be grown from the nuclei melted in the water of tunnel and the size of bubbles is changed through the variation of tunnel pressure. Since the trace ability and appropriate size of tracer are so important for PIV techniques, the characteristics of bubbles as tracer are revealed in terms of trace ability and bubble size with the variation of flow speed and tunnel pressure in this study. In addition, PIV measurements of (low behind a rotating propeller are conducted to confirm the trace ability of bubbles even in a highly vortical flow.

  • This paper describes the basic data measurements for total body irradiation with 6 Mv photon beam including compensators design. The technique uses bilateral opposing fields with tissue compensators for the head, neck, lungs, and legs from the hip to toes. In vivo dosimetry was carried out for determining absorbed dose at various regions in 7 patients using diode detectors(MULTIDOSE,k Model 9310, MULTIDATA Co., USA). As a results, the dose uniformity of${\pm}3.5{\%}$(generally, within${\pm}10{\%}$can be achieved with out total body irradiation technique.

  • We report a case of hydrocephalus in a 8-year-old boy who presented bilateral hand tremor. The hydrocephalus was caused by the aqueductal stenosis due to expanding lacunae in the mesencephalothalamic area on MR findings. The tremor was improved after CSF drainage by spinal tap and ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The authors present the possible mechanism of hydrocephalus induced tremor.

  • 광통신이 발달하면서 보다 빠른 정보전송을 할 수 있지만 다른 전송매체와 마찬가지로 장거리 전송 시 손실이 발생하고 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 광 증폭기의 필요성이 대두 되었다. 기존의 광신호 증폭기에서는 광 신호를 전기신호 변환한 후 증폭하고 다시 증폭된 전기신호를 광신호로 변환하는 과정과 복잡한 구조는 전송시스템의 병목 문제를 유발하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 순수 광신호 증폭시스템인 어븀첨가광섬유증폭기 (EDFA)를 제작하고 EDFA의 이득평탄화를 위하여 이득평탄화 필터로 MLPFG를 제작하여 적용하였다. 제작된 EDFA는 20dB 이상의 신호 증폭을 보였다.

  • Eosinophilic inflammation is the main histological correlate of airway hyperresponsiveness and tissue injury in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Interleukin (IL)-5 appears to be one of main proinflammatory mediators that induce eosinophilic inflammation. Allergic IL -5-deficient mice do not generate eosinophilia in the bone marrow, blood or lung in response to allergen provocation. (omitted)
