본 논문에서는 수정된 inset 급전 구조와 단일 슬롯이 장하된 이중대역 마이크로스트립 안테나에 대해 연구하였다. 수정된 inset 급전선은 x방향의 수직 inset 급전선과 전체 inset 급전선의 길이를 줄이기 위해 추가된 y방향의 수평 inset 급전선으로 구성된다. 임피던스 정합을 위한 급전선의 전체 길이는 수평 inset 급전선의 길이를 조절함으로써 구현된다. 낮은 공진 주파수와 높은 공진 주파수 간의 비율도 슬롯의 치수를 변화시킴으로써 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 슬롯의 길이와 위치가 안테나 대역폭, 입력 임피던스 등에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 안테나를 제작하여 실험한 결과, 공진 주파수 간의 비율을 1.25에서 1.88까지 변하게 하였다. 그리고 높은 공진 주파수 방사 패턴인 $TM_{30}$은 낮은 공진 주파수 방사패턴인 $TM_{10}$과 거의 같았으며, E평면에서 -20.0 dB 이하의 교차 편파 특성을 보였다. 이러한 결과들로써 본 연구에서 제안된 안테나는 단일 급전 이중 대역 안테나로서 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: It is hypothesized that robotic gastrectomy may surpass laparoscopic gastrectomy after the operators acquire long-term experience and skills in the manipulation of robotic arms. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term learning curve of robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) for gastric cancer compared with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG). Materials and Methods: From October 2008 to December 2015, patients who underwent LDG (n=809) were matched to patients who underwent RDG (n=232) at a 1:1 ratio, by using a propensity score matching method after stratification for the operative year. The surgical outcomes, such as trends of operative time, blood loss, and complication rate, were compared between the two groups. Results: The RDG group showed a longer operative time (171.3 minutes vs. 147.6 minutes, P<0.001) but less estimated blood loss (77.6 ml vs. 116.6 ml, P<0.001). The complication rate and postoperative recovery did not differ between the two groups. The RDG group showed a longer operative time and similar estimated blood loss compared with the LDG group after 5 years of experience (operative time: 159.2 minutes vs. 136.0 minutes in 2015, P=0.003; estimated blood loss: 72.9 ml vs. 78.1 ml in 2015, P=0.793). Conclusions: In terms of short-term surgical outcomes, RDG may not surpass LDG after a long-term experience with the technique.

Background: Chronic myeloproliferative diseases are clonal stem cell diseases which occur as a result of uncontrollable growth and reproduction of hematopoietic stem cells, which are the myeloid series source in bone marrow. Recent studies have suggested that chronic inflammation can be a triggering factor in the clonal change in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia (CMPN). In our study, we evaluated the existence of a chronic inflammation process in our Philadelphia negative (Ph-)CMPN patients using inflammation parameters in combination with demographic, laboratory and clinical characteristics of the patients. Materials and Methods: Demographic characteristics, clinical and laboratorial data, and thrombosis histories of 99 Ph-CMPN patients, who were diagnosed at our outpatient clinic of hematology in accordance with WHO 2008 criteria, were analyzed retrospectively,with 80 healthy individuals of matching gender and age included as controls. Complete blood counts, sedimentation, C reactive protein (CRP), JAK V617F gene mutations, abdomen ultrasound images and previous thrombosis histories of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Ph-CMPN and healthy control groups included 99 and 80 cases, respectively. PV, ET and MF diagnoses of patients were 43 (%43.4), 44 (44.4%) and 12 (12.1%), respectively. JAK V617F gene mutation was found to be positive in 64 (71.1%) of all cases and in 27(65.8%), 32 (82%), 5 (50%) of the cases in PV, ET and PMF groups, respectively. Thrombosis was determined as 12 (12%) in the entire group, 12.5% in the JAK V617F negative and 15.3% in the positive patients, with no statistical significance (p=0.758). No significant difference was observed between patients with and without previous thrombosis history in respect to hemogram parameters, sedimentation and CRP (p>0.05), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), erythrocyte distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV) and sedimentation levels of the patient.

본 연구에서는 비선형 체적파 혼합 기법의 선행연구를 토대로 램파 기법에 적용하여 램파 혼합 기법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 램파 혼합 기법의 타당성을 증명하기 위해 결함이 없는 시편과 부식에 의해 발생된 표면 결함이 있는 시편에 대해 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 대조군으로는 램파의 지배적인 면내변위와 면외변위를 가지는 모드 및 주파수로 선정하였다. 그 결과 램파 혼합 기법으로도 결함 검출이 가능하였고, 기존의 램파 기법의 경향성과 유사하게 나타났다. 그리고 이론과 동일한 지배적인 변위와 모드가 발생된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 결함 검출 성능은 측정 방법 및 단순 모드 선정에 따라 결정되는 것이 아니라 변위 비율에 따라 결정된다.

To compare several porcelains made by various manufacturers in shrinkage after firing and investigate the effect of condensation on shrinkage, specimens were prepared and the volume of each body was measured by the phase-shifting profilometry. Baseplate wax was cut by $2.5cm{\times}2cm$ and cast in nonprecious metal(Verabond, U.S.A.), then any surfaces of specimens were abrased and polished on the SiC abrasing papers, preparing 120 specimens. Specimens were divided into six groups according to the porcelain used, and the porcelain used in each group were as follows. Group I : Ceramco dentin porcelain Group B : Creation dentin porcelain Group III : Creation margin porcelain Group IV : Vintage margin porcelain Group V : Vita dentin porcelain Group VI : Vintage dentin porcelain Porcelain was built up on the metal plates using a small spoon and then solution matching to each porcelain was added. The six groups are subdivided into a and b. In subgroup a, only excessive solution was absorbed with tissue and in subgroup b, porcelain was condensed sufficiently. When build-up was completed, the shape was measured using the phase-shifting profilometry. After that, specimens were fired in the furnace programed for each porcelain and then their changed shape were measured again. Using the difference between the two above measurements, the ratio of shrinkage was calculated. Obtained results were as follows ; 1. Regardless of condensation, the volume of fired specimens were not different significantly between the two subgroups a and b in the same group. 2. The ratios of shrinkage were significantly higher in the groups porcelain built-up was condensed than in the groups not condensed 3. The ratios of shrinkage were in the range of 36.81-27.19% in the groups porcelain built up was condensed and 44.52-37.54% in the other groups not condensed.

Alginate lyases (endo and exo-lyases) are required for the degradation of alginate into its constituting monomers. Efficient bioethanol production and extraction of bioactives from brown algae requires intensive use of these enzymes. Nonetheless, there are few commercial alginate lyase preparations, and their costs make them unsuitable for large scale experiments. A recombinant expression protocol has been developed in this study for producing seven endo-lyases and three exo-lyases as soluble and highly active preparations. Saccharification of alginate using 21 different endo/exo-lyase combinations shows that there is complementary enzymatic activity between some of the endo/exo pairs. This is probably due to favorable matching of their substrate biases for the different glycosidic bonds in the alginate molecule. Therefore, selection of enzymes for the best saccharification results for a given biomass should be based on screens comprising both types of lyases. Additionally, different incubation temperatures, enzyme load ratios, and enzyme loading strategies were assessed using the best four enzyme combinations for treating Macrocystis pyrifera biomass. It was shown that $30^{\circ}C$ with a 1:3 endo/exo loading ratio was suitable for all four combinations. Moreover, simultaneous loading of endo-and exo-lyases at the beginning of the reaction allowed maximum alginate saccharification in half the time than when the exo-lyases were added sequentially.

Purpose: To examine the prevalence and clinical manifestations of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in Korea children. Methods: The study was designed as a 1:2 matching case-control study. Using information from the endoscopic database of a tertiary center, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients aged 18 years or younger who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy between January 2014 and December 2017. A total of 21 patients were diagnosed with EoE based on current diagnostic criteria. In addition, 42 controls with normal esophageal biopsy findings matched to each EoE case by sex, age (±1 months), and season were randomly selected during the study period. Results: The mean age of EoE diagnosis was 12.1±4.0 years and the male-to-female ratio was 2:1. The proportion of allergic diseases in patients with EoE (28.6%) was higher than that in the controls (6.8%) (p=0.04). Most EoE patients tested for allergy were positive for at least one antigen, which was significantly different to the controls (88.2% vs. 47.4%, p=0.01). Characteristic endoscopic findings of EoE were noted in 19 patients (90.5%), but 2 patients (9.5%) showed normal esophageal mucosa. The clinical symptoms of EoE were improved by a proton-pump inhibitor in 10 patients (50.0%), and by an H₂ blocker in 9 patients (45.0%). Only one patient (5.0%) required inhaled steroids. Conclusion: While EoE is rare in the Korean pediatric population, the results of this study will improve our understanding of the clinical manifestations of the disease.

본 논문은 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 기반의 움직임 예측 및 보상을 위한 새로운 연산 아키텍처를 제안한다. 기존 방식들의 경우 연산 시간의 단축을 위하여 2차원 DCT 계수의 희소성을 충분히 활용하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DCT 영역에서의 효율적인 움직임 예측을 위한 재귀 방정식을 유도하고, 이를 바탕으로 PE로 구성된 WAP를 개발한다. 또한, 재귀 방정식을 이용하여, 움직임 예측된 영상이 저주파 성분부터 고주파 성분까지 다양한 주파수 대역을 갖는 것이 가능함을 보인다. WAP는 아키텍처의 수정 없이 로그형 탐색이나 3단계 탐색과 같은 다양한 움직임 예측 알고리즘들을 수행할 수 있으며, 이러한 특성들은 비디오 부호화와 복호화에 필요한 전력 소모를 줄이기 위하여 이용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 WAP 아키텍처는 계산의 복잡도와 연산 시간을 효과적으로 감소시키며, SAD기준을 이용한 DCT 영역에서의 움직임 예측 및 보상 방식은 SAD 또는 SSD 기준을 이용한 공간 영역에서의 움직임 예측 및 보상 방식보다 높은 PSNR과 압축률을 제공함을 보여준다.

본 연구는 저니키 모멘트 서술자를 이용하여 객체 쌍의 기수성에 영향을 받지 않고 M:N 면 객체 쌍의 형상 유사도를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 형상 유사도는 저니키 기저함수에 객체 집합의 공간적 분포 영역을 투영하여 얻어지는 모멘트를 이용하기 때문에 형상을 구성하는 객체들의 기수성에 영향을 받지 않는다. 또한 낮은 차수의 기저함수에 대응되는 모멘트는 전역적인 형상을 표현하고, 높은 차수의 기저함수에 대응되는 모멘트는 지역적인 형상을 표현하기 때문에 원형상과 유사한 수준으로 형상을 복원할 수 있는 차수까지의 모멘트를 이용함으로써 효과적으로 형상을 서술하고 비교하는 것이 가능하다. 제안된 방법은 서울시 지역의 도로명주소 지도와 차량용 항법 지도의 건물 객체를 대상으로 적용 및 평가하였다. 기존 중첩면적비를 이용한 유사도에 비하여 제안된 유사도는 기수성의 변화에 강건함을 확인할 수 있었다.
