Objectives: Literature has shown that micro-organisms contaminate gutta percha (GP) during storage and manipulation. Till date herbal extracts are not explored as an alternative medicament for pre-operative chairside disinfection of GP cones. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and efficacy of lemon grass oil (LG), basil oil (BO), and obicure tea extract (OT) in disinfecting GP cones before obturation. Materials and Methods: Agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of LG, BO, OT, and sodium hypochlorite (control) against common contaminants, namely, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. One hundred and twenty GP cones were contaminated and cut into 2. First half was placed in the broth and incubated; whereas the second was treated with herbal extracts for 1 minute and then incubated for 24 hours in the broth. Any inhibition in bacterial growth was noted with presence/absence of turbidity. Two-way analysis of variance and ${\chi}^2$ test were used to assess the effectiveness of herbal extracts to decontaminate GP. Results: LG showed the highest inhibition zones ($29.9{\pm}6.9mm$) for all tested organisms, followed by OT extract ($16.3{\pm}1.8mm$), sodium hypochlorite ($16.0{\pm}1.6mm$), and BO ($14.5{\pm}5.3mm$). Statistically significant difference was observed between LG and other herbal extracts (p < 0.05). Conclusions: All extracts proved to be potential rapid chairside disinfectants of GP cones with LG showing the highest antimicrobial activity.

기업에서의 신제품 창출 또는 R&D 투자의 효율화를 설명하기 위한 모델로 탄생한 ‘개방형 혁신(open innovation)’이 최근에는 기업의 체질개선을 위한 변화관리의 전략적 수단으로 변화하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 2009년 초 ‘오픈 이노베이션’의 개념이 본격적으로 소개되기 시작하면서 출연연구기관과 대기업을 중심으로 도입이 추진되고 있다. 그러나 ‘기술의 아웃 소싱’이라는 개념을 넘어서 기업의 개방형 혁신 노력이 어떠한 동인을 가지고 어떠한 형태로, 무엇을 목표로, 어떻게 이루어지고 있는가에 대해서 외부적으로 자세하게 알려진 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 최초로 개방형 혁신을 도입한 LG화학의 사례를 살펴보았다. LG화학의 사례를 통해, 신제품 개발에 필요한 기술의 외부 조달을 위하여 시도되었던 개방형 혁신이 결과적으로는 내부 협력을 확산시키는 계기가 되었고 나아가 조직의 생산성을 높이기 위한 변화관리의 방안으로 추진되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 개방형 혁신이라는 새로운 변화를 성공적으로 이끌 수 있었던 것은 경영진의 전폭적인 지원 아래 변화관리에 필요한 단계를 차근차근 밟아왔기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 본 사례연구는 개방형 혁신을 추진하려는 기업들에게 유용한 가이드라인과 선례를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The development of a new manufacturing process, a two-step temperature treatment, to modulate the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles including the size is critical. This is because its physicochemical properties can be key factors affecting the cellular uptake and the bioavailability of bioactive compounds encapsulated in nanoparticles. The aims of this study were to produce (beta-lactoglobulin) ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles and to understand how two-step temperature treatment could affect the formation and physicochemical properties of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles. The morphological and physicochemical properties of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles were determined using atomic force microscopy and a particle size analyzer, respectively. Circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to investigate the secondary structure of ${\beta}-lg$. The surface hydrophobicity and free thiol groups of ${\beta}-lg$ were increased with a decrease in sub-ambient temperature and an increase in mild heat temperature. As sub-ambient temperature was decreased, a decrease in ${\alpha}-helical$ content and an increase in ${\beta}-sheet$ content were observed. The two-step temperature treatment firstly involved a sub-ambient temperature treatment from 5 to $20^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, followed secondly by a mild heat temperature treatment from 55 to $75^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. This resulted in the production of spherically-shaped particles with a size ranging from 61 to 214 nm. Two-way ANOVA exhibited the finding that both sub-ambient and mild heat temperature significantly (p<0.0001) affected the size of nanoparticles. Zeta-potential values of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles were reduced with increasing mild heat temperature. In conclusion, two-step temperature treatment was shown to play an important role in the manufacturing process - both due to its inducement of the conformational changes of ${\beta}-lg$ during nanoparticle formation, and due to its modulation of the physicochemical properties of ${\beta}-lg$ nanoparticles.

In this paper, we consider the adjustment of convergence on Color Display Tube (CDT). Convergence is a measure of how well the red, green and blue beams are physically aligned with each other to strike the same area on the screen. When misconvergence (convergence error) occurs, one way of compensating it is to attach several ferrite sheets on the inner part of Deflection Yoke (DY). We suggest an optimization model of misconvergence compensation process and report test results for 81 DY samples. As a result, more than 90% of the samples could be made to satisfy the required convergence criteria.

무선 서비스의 하나인 Wireless LAN(WLAN)은 기존의 cellular network보다 높은 데이터 전송 율을 가지며 편리한 무선 인터넷 접속을 제공하여, 사용량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 802.11는 무선 환경이 가지는 고유의 특성으로 인해 많은 공격에 노출되어 있다. IEEE는 이러한 문제점을 해결 하기 위해 802.11i 보안 표준을 발표하였다. 그러나 802.11i의 키 분배 과정의 취약성으로 인해 공격 대상이 되는 단말에게 지속적으로 메시지를 보내면 단말은 메모리 고갈현상이 발생하게 되고, 정상적인 무선랜 서비스를 받지 못하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법을 제시하고 기존에 제안되었던 방법과 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교 분석 하였다. 제안하는 기법은 단말의 메모리 소비를 최소화 함으로써 단말의 메모리 고갈 현상을 제거한다.

The LG Electronics case shows the process whereby an organization evolves as a learning organization through the integration of e-learning and knowledge management. In other words, it shows the process whereby e-learning is recognized as an important means of solving a problem concerning actual worksite operations, as it became one of the daily activities in the organization. In terms of organizational learning, this process points to the fact that e-learning is emerging as the fastest and most effective means of transferring the internally shared value of a company. Recently, advanced corporations and organizations have been endeavoring to boost their internal and external customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, paving the way for changes in their organizational cultures, and establishing learning organizations through e-learning. Therefore, from an advanced viewpoint, e-learning within a company is not a simple system of transferring educational contents, but is a knowledge portal concept connected with knowledge management. To achieve this end, the organization is required to undergo changes that is, it should make the acquisition of learning possible through e-learning and a knowledge management system (KMS) in order to improve corporate performance. Since LG Electronics is utilizing e-learning as a strategic means to change the paradigm of corporate education, and, in particular, is attempting to integrate this with knowledge management, insights that will facilitate the understanding of the core success factors in and challenges to the integration of knowledge management and e-learning can be obtained through this case.
