기후변화는 전 세계적으로 다양한 영향을 미치고 있으며 특히, 홍수나 대설로 인한 수문변화에 영향을 준다. 본 연구는 준분포형 연속 모형인 SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)모형을 이용하여 우리나라 3대 대설지역에 속하는 다목적댐인 충주댐유역(6642.0 m)의 기후변화에 따른 융설이 수문과 수질에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 먼저, 융설 모형의 매개변수인 적설분포면적감소곡선 (Snow Cover Depletion Curve; SCDC)을 구축하기 위하여 10년(2000-2010)동안의 Terra MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 위성영상자료와 6개 기상관측소(충주, 제천, 원주, 영월, 대관령, 태백)의 최심적설자료를 이용하여 연도별 SCDC을 구축하였다. 구축 결과, 눈이 50% 피복 일 때 snow volume은 연 평균 0.47로 분석되었다. 이를 SWAT 모형에 적용하여 수문과 수질에 대한 적용성 평가를 실시한 결과, 유출의 경우 NSE는 융설기간 동안 평균 0.8, 전체기간은 평균 0.6으로 나타났으며 수질(Sediment, T-N, T-P)의 경우 각각 평균 0.72, 0.70, 0.85을 나타내었다. 미래 기후자료는 IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)에서 제공하는 SRES(Special Report on Emission Scenarios) A1B, B1 기후변화시나리오의 HadCM3 모델의 결과 값을 이용하였으며 기간은 과거 30년 기후자료(1981-2010, baseline)를 바탕으로 2040s(2020-2059), 2080s(2060-2099)의 두 기간으로 나누어 각각 분석하였으며 기후변화 결과 값의 불확실성을 줄이고자 과거 자료와 GCM의 1981년에서 2000년까지의 값을 비교하여 온도와 강수량의 보정을 실시한 후 LARS-WG를 이용하여 온도와 강수량 자료를 구축하였다. SWAT 모형을 적용한 결과, 평균 1.92 증가한 것으로 나타났으며 유출은 융설기간(Nov-Apr)이 비융설기간(May-Oct)보다 10% 더 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형을 통한 유출 및 환경부하량 전망을 목표로 하여 미래 기후변화를 고려한 융설이 다목적댐에서의 유출과 수질 (Sediment, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus)에 미치는 영향을 평가해 보고자 한다.

We developed a heavy-duty work class ROV trencher named URI-T (Underwater robot it's trencher) that can conduct burial and maintenance tasks for underwater cables and small diameter pipelines. It requires various supporting systems, including a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, launch and recovery system (LARS), A-frame, and winch in order to perform burial tasks because of its dimensions (6.5 m × 5.0 m × 4.5 m, 20 t) and the tough working environment. However, operating a DP vessel has disadvantages as it is expensive to rent and operate and it is difficult to adjust the working schedule for some domestic coast construction cases. In this paper, we propose a method using a barge instead of a DP vessel to avoid the above disadvantages. Although burying the cable and pipeline using a barge has lower working efficiency than a DP vessel, it can save construction expenses and does not require a large crew. The proposed method was applied over two months at the construction of the water supply in Yokji-do, and the results were verified.

The current Sudanese preschool system depends on limited methods of education, children's education needs to be equipped to keep pace with technological development, also, the large gap that exists between the families and the Kindergartens, where many parents have no idea on how their child progresses in the KG context. The aim of this research is to integrate ICT in the preschool education to enhance and improve the preschool education, by building an Integrated Educational Application (Computerized Application for Preschool Education CAPE) which will help to improve the learning outcomes. The researchers used the Experimental Research Methodology, the characteristic of CAPE application is; suitable for children's age, the application style is more attractive to the children and contains a different way to help children get learning. Alawaeel and the Smart Child Kindergartens in Republic of Sudan were selected as a sample of the study, with sample size specifically, 50 children's. Also, the Central Bank of Sudan Kindergarten was selected as one of the institutional Kindergartens for easy communication with parents of children with a sample size 21 children. The study found that; using CAPE application in KG enables children to increase general learning effects and developing child's cognitive skills. Also, the children who were allowed to use CAPE by their parents are performed better in the overall evaluation of KG lessons. Also, using the CAPE in the Pre-School education helps the parents following their children's progress better and more reliable. The researcher recommends that to apply the computerized application and includes the second level. Also, converting the computerized program into an application to be used by children by their self, without the intervention of parents.

Framed masonry wall structures represent a typical high-rise structural system that are also seismically vulnerable. During ground motions, they are excited in both in-plane and out-of-plane terms. The interaction between the frame and the infill during ground motion is a highly investigated phenomenon in the field of seismic engineering. This paper presents a numerical investigation of two distinct static out-of-plane loading methods for framed masonry wall models. The first and most common method is uniformly loaded infill. The load is generally induced by the airbag. The other method is similar to in-plane push-over method, involves loading of the frame directly, not the infill. Consequently, different openings with the same areas and various placements were examined. The numerical model is based on calibrated in-plane bare frame models and on calibrated wall models subjected to OoP bending. Both methods produced widely divergent results in terms of load bearing capabilities, failure modes, damage states etc. Summarily, uniform load on the panel causes more damage to the infill than to the frame; openings do influence structures behavior; three hinged arching action is developed; and greater resistance and deformations are obtained in comparison to the frame loading method. Loading the frame causes the infill to bear significantly greater damage than the infill; infill and openings only influence the behavior after reaching the peak load; infill does not influence initial stiffness; models with opening fail at same inter-storey drift ratio as the bare frame model.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the artefacts of 12 fixed orthodontic appliances in magnetic resonance images obtained using 1.5-T and 3-T scanners, and to evaluate different imaging sequences designed to suppress metal artefacts. Materials and Methods: In vitro, study casts of 1 adult with normal occlusion were used. Twelve orthodontic appliances were attached to the study casts and scanned. Turbo spin echo (TSE), TSE with high readout bandwidth, and TSE with view angle tilting and slice encoding for metal artefact correction were used to suppress metal artefacts. Artefacts were measured. In vivo, 6 appliances were scanned: 1) conventional stainless-steel brackets; 2) nickelfree brackets; 3) titanium brackets; 4) a Herbst appliance; 5) a fixed retainer; and 6) a rapid maxillary expander. The maxilla, mandible, nasopharynx, tongue, temporomandibular joints, and cranial base/eye globes were assessed. Scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 indicated no artefacts and minor, moderate, and major artefacts, respectively. Results: In vitro, titanium brackets and the fixed retainer created minor artefacts. In vivo, titanium brackets caused minor artefacts. Conventional stainless-steel and nickel free brackets, the fixed retainer, and the rapid maxillary expander caused major artefacts in the maxilla and mandible. Conventional stainless-steel and nickel-free brackets caused major artefacts in the eye globe (3-T). TSE with high readout bandwidth reduced image artefacts in both scanners. Conclusion: Titanium brackets, the Herbst appliance, and the fixed retainer caused minor artefacts in images of neurocranial structures(1.5-T and 3-T) when using TSE with high readout bandwidth.

Background Reconstruction of large soft tissue defects of the lower extremity often requires the use of free flaps. The main limiting factor and potential for complications lie in the selection of proper donor and recipient vessels for microvascular anastomosis. While the superficial veins of the lower leg are easier to dissect, they are thought to be more vulnerable to trauma and lead to a higher complication rate when using them instead of the deep accompanying veins as recipient vessels. No clear evidence exists that proves this concept. Methods We retrospectively studied the outcomes of 97 patients who underwent free flap plasty to reconstruct predominantly traumatic defects of the lower extremity at our institute. The most used flap was the gracilis muscle flap. We divided the population into three groups based on the recipient veins that were used for microvascular anastomosis and compared their outcomes. The primary outcome was the major complication rate. Results Overall flap survivability was 93.81%. The complication rates were not higher when using the great saphenous vein as a recipient vessel when comparing to utilizing the deep concomitant veins alone or the great saphenous vein in combination to the concomitant veins. Conclusions In free flap surgery of the lower extremity, the selection of the recipient veins should not be restricted to the deep accompanying veins of the main vessels. The superficial veins, especially the great saphenous vein, offer an underrated option when performing free flap reconstruction.

Leksell은 뇌동정맥기형종의 중심에 280 kVp 관전압 방사선빔을 집속하는 방법으로 방사선수술법을 고안 시술한 바 있으며, 이 후 코발트-60 감마 선원 201개의 선속이 헬멧콜리메터를 지나 구의 중심에 초점을 이루게 한 감마나이프를 개발하여 표적병변에 높은 선량을 주어 비침습적으로 수술효과를 얻었다. 선형가속기는 높은 선량률과 1 mm 이내의 갠트리회전중심과 안정된 치료대회전 및 선량성능검증효과와 획기적으로 발전된 3차원선량계획 전산화에 힘입어 정밀하고 높은 정확성에 바탕을 둔 비공면궤적으로 방사선을 환부에 집속할 수 있어, 병변 주위의 정상조직에는 낮은 선량이 도달하고 병변에 높은 선량을 줄 수 있는 뇌정위방사선수술에 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 특히 Photon Knife는 환자의 체축을 이용하여 선속이 환부를 중심으로 종횡의 비공면궤적을 이루게 하여 치료선량분포에서 90%와 50% 선량폭을 2~3 mm 까지 좁힐 수 있는 기법을 보였다. 최근 선형가속기의 방사선수술은 2.5~3 mm 폭의 초박형 다엽콜리메터를 이용한 세기조절에 의한 시술이 늘어나는 경향이며, 종전의 종양의 크기에 따른 제한을 넘어 3 cm 이상의 종양에도 시행되고 있다. 뇌정위방사선수술은 선량모델을 뒷받침하는 마이크로 선량계측 및 평가와 성능보증이 필수적이며 선량분포의 경사도를 높이는 기법이 지속적으로 연구되어야 한다. 특히 초박형다엽콜리메터를 이용한 방사선수술은 다엽콜리메터 요철(Tongue and groove) 에 의해 일어나는 표적내 선량저하 부위를 평가하고 균등한 표적선량이 이루어지도록 하며, 마이크로 분해능을 가진 선량검증 방법이 앞으로 더욱 발전할 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of atropine on peripheral vasodilation and the mechanisms involved. The isometric tension of rat mesenteric artery rings was recorded in vitro on a myograph. The results showed that atropine, at concentrations greater than 1$\mu$M, relaxed the noradrenalin (NA)-precontracted rat mesenteric artery in a concentration-dependent manner. Atropine-induced vasodilatation was mediated, in part, by an endothelium-dependent mechanism, to which endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor may contribute. Atropine was able to shift the NA-induced concentration-response curve to the right, in a non-parallel manner, suggesting the mechanism of atropine was not mediated via the ${\alpha}_1$-adrenoreceptor. The $\beta$-adrenoreceptor and ATP sensitive potassium channel, a voltage dependent calcium channel, were not involved in the vasodilatation. However, atropine inhibited the contraction derived from NA and $CaCl_2$ in $Ca^{2+}$-free medium, in a concentration dependent manner, indicating the vasodilatation was related to the inhibition of extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ influx through the receptor-operated calcium channels and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release from the $Ca^{2+}$ store. Atropine had no effect on the caffeine-induced contraction in the artery segments, indicating the inhibition of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release as a result of atropine most likely occurs via the IP3 pathway rather than the ryanodine receptors. Our results suggest that atropine-induced vasodilatation is mainly from artery smooth muscle cells due to inhibition of the receptor-mediated $Ca^{2+}$-influx and $Ca^{2+}$-release, and partly from the endothelium mediated by EDHF.

유방암 환자에 대한 방사선치료에서 유방의 크기가 큰 경우에 바로 누운 자세와 엎드린 자세 간의 선량학적 효과의 비교를 통하여 치료 최적화를 위한 효과적인 방식을 탐구 해보고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 왼쪽 유방에 종양이 있고 거대유방을 가진 환자가 바로 누운 자세와 엎드린 자세로 입체조형방사선치료를 받았을 때의 차이를 부피-선량 히스토그램을 통해 비교하였다. Planning target volume (계획표적체적, PTV)은 왼쪽 유방이고 Homogeneity index (균질성지표, HI), Conformity index (적합성지표, CI), Coverage index (조사범위지표, CVI)의 값을 확인하였다. Organ at risk (관심장기, OAR)는 오른쪽 유방, 양쪽 폐 그리고 심장이며 평균선량, 최대선량 및 장기 특성에 따른 기타 지표들을 비교하였다. 엎드린 자세로 치료 시 바로 누운 자세보다 PTV인 왼쪽 유방의 HI, CI 값이 21.7%, 6.49% 감소하였고 CVI 값이 10.8% 증가하였다. 관심장기 중 왼쪽 폐에서는 평균선량, 최대선량이 91.6, 87.0% 감소하였고 부피지표 또한 99% 이상 감소하였다. 오른쪽 폐에서는 자세와 관계없이 동일한 수치를 나타냈고 심장에서는 최대선량이 14.2% 감소했고 평균선량과 이와 관련된 이상이 발생할 확률은 모두 51.6% 감소하였다. 오른쪽 유방에서는 앞선 관심장기와는 달리 평균선량과 최대선량이 증가함을 보였다. Lifetime attributable risk (LAR)의 경우 왼쪽과 오른쪽 폐에서는 엎드린 자세를 취했을 때 80.3, 24.2% 감소함을 보였지만 오른쪽 유방에서는 두 배정도 증가함을 보였다. 유방암 환자의 유방 크기가 클 경우 엎드린 자세를 취했을 때 별다른 합병증 없이 대부분의 지표에서 더 나은 결과를 보이기에 예외적인 상황이 아니라면 엎드린 자세로 치료받는 것을 추천한다.
