Background and Objectives: Top-down restoration of distorted speech, tapped as phonemic restoration of speech in noise, maybe a useful tool to understand robustness of perception in adverse listening situations. However, the relationship between phonemic restoration and speech perception in noise is not empirically clear. Subjects and Methods: 20 adults (40-55 years) with normal audiometric findings were part of the study. Sentence perception in noise performance was studied with various signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) to estimate the SNR with 50% score. Performance was also measured for sentences interrupted with silence and for those interrupted by speech noise at -10, -5, 0, and 5 dB SNRs. The performance score in the noise interruption condition was subtracted by quiet interruption condition to determine the phonemic restoration magnitude. Results: Fairly robust improvements in speech intelligibility was found when the sentences were interrupted with speech noise instead of silence. Improvement with increasing noise levels was non-monotonic and reached a maximum at -10 dB SNR. Significant correlation between speech perception in noise performance and phonemic restoration of sentences interrupted with -10 dB SNR speech noise was found. Conclusions: It is possible that perception of speech in noise is associated with top-down processing of speech, tapped as phonemic restoration of interrupted speech. More research with a larger sample size is indicated since the restoration is affected by the type of speech material and noise used, age, working memory, and linguistic proficiency, and has a large individual variability.

이 연구는 지속적인 싱잉볼 힐링이 뇌파와 자율신경계 반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보기 위한 연구이다. 5주 동안 8명의 피실험자에게 싱잉볼 힐링을 받은 전,후 뇌파의 변화를 알아보기 위하여, 45분 동안의 싱잉볼 힐링 받기 전, 후 뇌파의 변화를 측정하였다. 뇌파측정은 바이오브레인 BIOS-S8로의 F3, F4, T3, T4, P3, P4 총 6체널에 부착하였고, 심전도 측정을 위하여 표준사지 유도방식에 Lead I에 전극을 부착하여 측정하였다. 수집된 뇌파자료를 통하여 5주간의 싱잉볼 힐링 전,후 뇌파의 변화를 지켜보았으며, 베타파, 알파파, SMR는 낮아지고, 세타와 델타파, HRV 항목 중 SDNN이 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과 5주 동안의 지속적인 싱잉볼 힐링은 뇌파를 안정시키고, 자율신경계를 활성화 시키며, 부교감신경을 증가시키는 이완유도 효과를 지속, 증대 시킬 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다.

압축력의 변화에 따른 균열 간극변화 양상을 측정하고 간극변화와 수리전도도와의 관계를 파악하기 위해 이 연구에서는 다섯 단계의 수직 일축압축력을 균열면에 연속적으로 가하면서 고해상도의 공초점 레이저 스캔 현미경 (confocal laser scanning microscope; CLSM)을 이용하여 간극의 크기를 측정하고 디지털 이미지를 획득하였다. 기존의 연구들과는 달리 이 연구의 측정방법은 압력변화에 대한 동일시료 간극의 반응을 연속적으로 파악할 수 있는 점이 특징이다. 측정결과는 간극크기가 일정하지 않은 불평탄한 균열형태를 매우 잘 나타내었다. 균열 조도(roughness)로 인해 압력에 따른 간극 변화량은 일정하지 않고 부분마다 다름을 보였다. 각 압력단계에서 간극변화에 따른 투수성 변화양상을 파악하고자 실내투수시험을 병행하여 실시한 결과, 각 압력단계에서의 투수성 변화도 일정한 감소율을 나타내지 않고 간극 변화율이 크더라도 투수율은 오히려 작은 경우도 관찰되었다. 현미경을 통해 측정한 물리적 간극과 실제 유체유동 경로가 되는 수리간극의 크기 차이를 파악하기 위해 계산을 한 결과, 미미한 갈이지만 물리적 간극보다 작은 크기의 수리간극이 구해졌다. 또한, 실내투수시험 결과를 이용하여 구한 투수계수는 삼승법칙을 따르지 않는 것으로 드러났으며, 이러한 사실들은 균열 양쪽이 서로 평행하지 않고 불평탄한 양상을 가짐을 의미하는 것으로서, 현미경을 통해 직접 관찰한 간극양상과 잘 일치하는 것이다.

본 연구는 우리나라의 남부해안지역에서 가을장마, 혹한 및 봄 가뭄과 같은 계절적 기후시나리오 간 이탈리안 라이그라스(IRG: Italian ryegrass)의 건물수량(DMY: dry matter yield)을 비교하기 위해 수행하였다. 남부해안지역의 IRG 자료(n = 203)는 1993년부터 2013년까지 농총진흥청이 제주, 남원 및 영암에서 수행한 신품종 지역적응시험 결과보고서로부터 수집되었다. 계절적 기후 시나리오를 정의하기 위해 기상청으로부터 온도, 습도, 바람 등과 같은 기상정보를 사용하였다. 정상과 이상기후 시나리오를 구분하기 위해 5% 유의수준에서 판별분석을 수행하였다. 또한 IRG 수량비교는 표본분포의 정보를 기반으로 통계적 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 남부해안지역에서 봄 가뭄에 의한 DMY 차이만 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 혹한은 정상으로부터 분명하게 구분되었지만, DMY 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 DMY 비교는 봄 가뭄에 대해서만 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 정상 및 봄 가뭄 하에서 DMY (kg/ha)은 각각 14,743.83 및 12,707.97로 봄 가뭄 발생에 의한 예상피해는 약 2,000 kg/ha로 나타났다. 또한 봄 가뭄 하에서 예측 DMY는 정상시나리오에 비해 넓고 느리게 증가하여 변동성이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 계절별 기후 시나리오를 고려한 통계적 시뮬레이션을 통해 봄 가뭄에 의한 IRG의 DMY 피해 및 가능성을 확인한 것에 의의가 있다.

이 연구에서는 수리실험을 통해 비중이 서로 다른 테트라포드의 Hudson식에 의한 안정계수($K_D$) 변화 특성을 고찰하였다. 수리실험은 사면 경사 1:1.5인 경사식 방파제에 대하여 반복실험 없이 1회 수행되었으며, 본 실험 조건에서는 고비중 테트라포드의 안정계수가 더 크게 나타났다. 이는 테트라포드 안정계수가 비중에 따라서 달라지게 됨을 보여주는 결과이다. 향후 보다 많은 실험을 통해서 테트라포드의 비중이 안정계수에 미치는 영향을 자세히 고찰할 필요가 있다.

A dome-shaped subcutaneous nodular mass was detected on the forehead of 2-year-old mixed cattle encountered at Jeju slaughter house. The mass showed distinctive greasy appearance and float in 10% buffered formalin. Mass was well demarcated with other tissues, and firm in consistency and whit-yellowish color on cut surface. Histopathologically, subcutaneous mass was well circumscribed but unencapsulated. This mass was composed of larger lipocytes or more variability in size than normal mature lipocytes. The cytoplasmic lipid of tumor cells could be demonstrated using Oil red O staining. Based on the gross and histopathologic findings, this case was diagnosed as subcutaneous lipoma in cattle. In our best knowledge, this is the first case of bovine lipoma in Korea.

An electrohydraulic (EH) pump-driven closed-loop blood pressure regulatory system was developed based on flow-mediated vascular occlusion using the vascular occlusive cuff technique. It is very useful for investigating blood pressure-dependant physiological variability, in particular, that could identify the principal mediators of renal autoregulation, such as tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) and myogenic (MYO), during blood pressure regulation. To address this issue, renal perfusion pressure (RPP) should be well regulated under various experimental conditions. In this paper, we designed a new EH pump-driven RPP regulatory system capable of implementing precise and rapid RPP regulation. A closed-loop servo-controlwas developed with an optimal proportional plus integral (PI) compensation using the dynamic feedback RPP signal from animals. An in vivo performance was evaluated in terms of flow-mediated RPP occlusion, maintenance, and release responses. Step change to 80 mmHg reference from normal RPP revealed steady state error of ${\pm}3%$ during the RPP regulatory period after PI action. We obtained rapid RPP release time of approximately 300 ms. It is concluded that the proposed EH RPP regulatory system could be utilized in in vivo performance to study various pressure-flow relationships in diverse fields of physiology, and in particular, in renal autoregulation mechanisms.

Mortality of domestic people from cardiovascular disease ranked second, which followed that of from cancer last year. Therefore, it is very important and urgent to enhance the reliability of medical examination and treatment for cardiovascular disease. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the most commonly used noninvasive methods to evaluate autonomic regulation of heart rate and conditions of a human heart. In this paper, our aim is to extract a quantitative measure for HRV to enhance the reliability of medical examination for cardiovascular disease, and then develop a prediction method for extracting multi-parametric features by analyzing HRV from ECG. In this study, we propose a hybrid Bayesian classifier called FP-based Bayesian. The proposed classifier use frequent patterns for building Bayesian model. Since the volume of patterns produced can be large, we offer a rule cohesion measure that allows a strong push of pruning patterns in the pattern-generating process. We conduct an experiment for the FP-based Bayesian classifier, which utilizes multiple rules and pruning, and biased confidence (or cohesion measure) and dataset consisting of 670 participants distributed into two groups, namely normal and patients with coronary artery disease.

Flow and transport at fracture intersections, and their effects on network scale transport, are investigated in three-dimensional random fracture networks. Fracture intersection mixing rules complete mixing and streamline routing are defined in terms of fluxes normal to the intersection line between two fractures. By analyzing flow statistics and particle transfer probabilities distributed along fracture intersections, it is shown that for various network structures with power law size distributions of fractures, the choice of intersection mixing rule makes comparatively little difference in the overall simulated solute migration patterns. The occurrence and effects of local flows around an intersection (local flow cells) are emphasized. Transport simulations at fracture intersections indicate that local flow circulations can arise from variability within the hydraulic head distribution along intersections, and from the internal no flow condition along fracture boundaries. These local flow cells act as an effective mechanism to enhance the nondiffusive breakthrough tailing often observed in discrete fracture networks. It is shown that such non-Fickian (anomalous) solute transport can be accounted for by considering only advective transport, in the framework of a continuous time random walk model. To clarify the effect of forest environmental changes (forest type difference and clearcut) on water storage capacity in soil and stream flow, watershed had been investigated.
