Accurate estimation of dry matter intake (DMI) is a prerequisite to meet animal performance targets without penalizing animal health and the environment. The objective of the current study was to evaluate some of the existing models in order to predict DMI when lactating dairy cows were offered a total mixed ration containing a high level of concentrates and locally produced agricultural by-products. Six popular models were chosen for DMI prediction (Brown et al., 1977; Rayburn and Fox, 1993; Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries Research Council Secretariat, 1999; National Research Council (NRC), 2001; Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS), Fox et al., 2003; Fuentes-Pila et al., 2003). Databases for DMI comparison were constructed from two different sources: i) 12 commercial farm investigations and ii) a controlled dairy cow experiment. The model evaluation was performed using two different methods: i) linear regression analysis and ii) mean square error prediction analysis. In the commercial farm investigation, DMI predicted by Fuentes-Pila et al. (2003) was the most accurate when compared with the actual mean DMI, whilst the CNCPS prediction showed larger mean bias (difference between mean predicted and mean observed values). Similar results were observed in the controlled dairy cow experiment where the mean bias by Fuentes-Pila et al. (2003) was the smallest of all six chosen models. The more accurate prediction by Fuentes-Pila et al. (2003) could be attributed to the inclusion of dietary factors, particularly fiber as these factors were not considered in some models (i.e. NRC, 2001; CNCPS (Fox et al., 2003)). Linear regression analysis had little meaningful biological significance when evaluating models for prediction of DMI in this study. Further research is required to improve the accuracy of the models, and may recommend more mechanistic approaches to investigate feedstuffs (common to the Asian region), animal genotype, environmental conditions and their interaction, as the majority of the models employed are based on empirical approaches.

본 연구에서는 기존의 열영상 측정 장치에 비해 위상잠금기법을 채용한 열영상 측정 장치의 온도분해능이 얼마나 향상될 수 있는지를 평가하기 위해 흑체시스템과 마이크로 레지스터 시편을 이용한 실험을 수행하여 개선된 온도분해능을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 적외선 열영상 측정 장치의 노이즈 수준 또는 온도분해능은 연속적으로 측정된 열영상의 픽셀별 온도의 평균과 각각의 측정값의 편차에 대한 제곱의 평균으로 정의되는 잡음등가온도차(noise equivalent temperature difference, NETD)라는 척도를 이용하여 평가되고 있다. 하지만 위상잠금 열영상 기법을 적용하면 더욱 편리한 방법을 이용할 수 있는데 이는 측정된 열영상 신호의 위상과는 무관한 온도의 진폭에 관한 정보를 이용하는 것이다. 연구결과를 통해 알 수 있듯이, 위상잠금 기법을 적용하게 되면 측정된 신호의 온도분해능 성능을 보여주는 잡음등가온도차가 크게 향상되었으며 이는 위상잠금기법이 내부적으로 수행하는 평균화 작업과 필터링 기능 때문인 것으로 판단되고 있다.

To investigate the fatigue characteristic of upper limbs, this study analyzed RMS(root mean square) and MPF(mean power frequency) value between initial and terminal stages of each experiment condition. And the effect of intermittent endurance time was evaluated using the Borg's CR10 value that was measured for the parts of upper limb. According to the results of ANOVA on RMS value, there were significant difference on the %MVC about push, pull, and down force exertion. Particularly the ANOVA of up force exertion was significant difference on shoulder flexion, elbow flexion and rest time as well as %MVC. The results of ANOVA for MPF value were significant difference on the %MVC in regard of the push and up force exertion. In case of up force exertion, MPF value tended to shift low frequency at all of the experiment conditions. According to the analysis of duty cycle, RMS value considerably increased over 50% duty cycle and as the %MVC increased, the duty cycle affected the increase of RMS value. MPF value for up and down force exertion decreased at 33%, 50% and 67% duty cycle for all of %MVC. Borg CR10 value of hand and forearm were below the 3-point to the 40% of endurance time at 30%MVC and to the 20% of endurance time at 50%MVC with the exception of up force exertion. But Borg CR10 values of upper arm and shoulder at up force exertion were more than 3-point to the 20% of endurance time at 30%MVC and in the start point of endurance time at 50%MVC.

Objectives This study is performed to recognize the relationship between atrophic vaginitis and stress that have an affect on autonomic nervous system. Methods We studied 47 patients who visited Kangnam Kyunghee Korean Hospital Medical Examination Center from November, 2013 to June, 2014. They were devided into two groups, atrophic vaginitis group (AV, n=18) and non-atrophic vaginitis group (NAV, n=29). We compared the result of HRV between the two groups. Results The mean of The standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), the square root of the mean squared difference of successive NNs (RMSSD) in AV group was lower than NAV group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Total power (TP), low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) of AV group was significantly lower than NAV group. There was no significant difference in high frequency (HF). Conclusions Women with atrophic vaginitis is expected to have low adaptive capacity against stress.

Purpose: Despite meticulous techniques, surgical complications continue to be problematic in kidney transplant recipients. Role of routine stenting to reduce complications is controversial. In this study, we compare incidence of early urological complications, lymphoceles, urinary tract infections (UTI) and graft function; with or without double-J stenting. Materials and Methods: All patients who underwent live related donor renal transplantation from February 2014 to February 2016 were included. Transplants prior to February 2015 were without routine stenting; subsequent transplants were with routine stenting. Patients with neurogenic bladder, previously operated bladder and delayed or low urinary output were excluded. Followup was for at least three months. Descriptive statistics was performed for all parameters. Chi square test and Fisher's Exact test were used for qualitative variables. For quantitative variables, Mann-Whitney test was used to test median difference and independent samples t-test for mean difference. The p-value ${\leq}0.05$ was considered significant. Results: We analysed 74 patients (34 stented and 40 non-stented). There was no difference in the incidence of urinary leak, anastomotic obstruction, lymphoceles or UTI (p>0.4 for all comparisons). However, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate at sixth day, 14th day, one month and two months were 76.1 vs. 61.5 (p=0.025), 72.1 vs. 56.6 (p=0.005), 79.4 vs. 63.1 (p=0.002) and 82.0 vs. 63.3 (p=0.001) in the stented versus non-stented groups. Conclusions: Placement of ureteral stent in renal transplant does not significantly affect the incidence of early urinary complications or UTI. However, graft function is significantly better in stented recipients, at least in the short term.

The purpose of this study is to estimate how much the motility of affected and unaffected lower limb respectively would have effects on their ambulation through comparing the difference between their affected and unaffected lower limb and studying the correlation between such difference and their ambulation. In addition, the study also intends to find out remedial measures suitable for improving their ambulation with relevant physical treatment. To do this, a quantitative electromyogram(QEMG) test was done to hamstring of affected and unaffected lower limb so as to yield IP values. Based on such IP values, RMS(root mean square) values as the total sum of IP values were found with QEMG analysis system (made by Medelec Co.) and then the ambulation depending on the difference in muscular strength were analyzed by ink-foot print method as well as the corresponding statistics were processed by T-test through SPSS. The differences in muscular strength of hamstring in unaffected limbs of hemiplegic patients only affect stride length. It was statistically significant. The effect of difference in muscular strength of the hamstring in affected limb of hemiplegic patients on their ambulation was very different between strong and weak group in terms of walking velocity, step per minute, stride and step length, showing statistically significant difference(p<.05). Although there was a difference in the step length of the affected limb, it was not statistically significant(p>.05). For the unaffected hamstring, there were significant differences of stride length between in unaffected limb and in affected limb. For the affected hamstring, there were also significant differences in walking velocity, step per minute, stride and step length. Besides, it was found that the difference of the muscular strength between strong and weak group was at the highest.

저가형 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) 수신 모듈에 DGNSS (differential GNSS) 서비스를 적용하기 위한 방안으로 거리 영역의 보정정보를 위치 영역으로 투영한 후, stand-alone으로 산출한 위치에 적용하는 DGNSS-CP 방식이 제안된 바 있다. DGNSS-CP 를 상용 수신기 또는 휴대폰에 적용하기 위해서는 항법 방정식의 관측행렬을 이용하여 위치영역 투영 방정식을 구성하므로, 각 위성의 시선벡터를 산출하여야 한다. GNSS 항법 메시지, 배치 정보 등이 시선벡터 산출을 위하여 사용되는데, 각 방법에 따라 정확도와 연산량 등의 성능에 차이가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 두 가지 시선벡터 산출 방식에 따라 DGNSS-CP의 성능에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 확인하기 위하여, Septentrio PolaRx4 Pro 수신기에서 stand-alone mode 로 저장된 데이터에 해당 알고리즘을 적용하였고, 배치 정보를 사용하는 방법이 궤도정보를 사용하는 방법에 비해 정확도 면에서는 그 성능이 RMS (root mean square) 0.1 m 가량 저하되는 반면, 연산량은 약 1/15수준으로 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
