  • Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) is the only intergovernmental space cooperation organization in Asia. Since its establishment to date, eight countries have signed the convention and become member states. South Korea participated actively in the preparatory phase of creating the organization, and one conference organized by AP-MCSTA which is the predecessor of APSCO was held in South Korea. However, after the APSCO Convention was opened for signature in 2005 to date, South Korea does not ratify the Convention and become a member. The rapid development of space commercialization and privatization, as well as the fastest growing commercial space market in Asia, provides opportunities for Asian countries to cooperate with each other in relevant space fields. And to participate in the existing cooperation framework (e.g., the APSCO) by the Asian space countries (e.g., South Korea) could be a proper choice. Even if the essential cooperation in particular space fields is challenging, joint space programs among different Asian countries for dealing with the common events can be initiated at the first steps. Since APSCO has learned the successful legal arrangements from ESA, the legal measures established by its Convention are believed to be qualified to ensure the achievement of benefits of different member states. For example, the regulation of the "fair return" principle confirms that the return of interests from the relevant programs is in proportion to the member's investment in the programs. Moreover, the distinguish of basic and optional activities intends to authorize the freedom of the members to choose programs to participate. And for the voting procedure, the acceptance of the "consensus" by the Council is in favor of protecting the member's interest when making decisions. However, political factors that are potential to block the participation of South Korea in APSCO are difficult to be ignored. A recent event is an announcement of deploying THAAD by South Korea, which causes tension between South Korea and China. The cooperation between these two states in space activities will be influenced. A long-standing barrier is that China acts as a non-member of the main international export control mechanism, i.e., the MTCR. The U.S takes this fact as the main reason to prevent South Korea to cooperate with China in developing space programs. Although the political factors that will block the participation of South Korea in APSCO are not easy to removed shortly, legal measures can be taken to reduce the political influence. More specifically, APSCO is recommended to ensure the achievement of commercial interests of different cooperation programs by regulating precisely the implementation of the "fair return" principle. Furthermore, APSCO is also suggested to contribute to managing the common regional events by sharing satellite data. And it is anticipated that these measures can effectively response the requirements of the rapid development of space commercialization and the increasing common needs of Asia, thereby to provide a platform for the further cooperation. In addition, in order to directly reduce the political influence, two legal measures are necessary to be taken: Firstly, to clarify the rights and responsibilities of the host state (i.e., China) as providing assistance, coordination and services to the management of the Organization to release the worries of the other member states that the host state will control the Organization's activities. And secondly, to illustrate that the cooperation in APSCO is for the non-military purpose (a narrow sense of "peaceful purpose") to reduce the political concerns. Regional cooperation in Asia regarding space affairs is considered to be a general trend in the future, so if the participation of South Korea in APSCO can be finally proved to be feasible, there will be an opportunity to discuss the creation of a comprehensive institutionalized framework for space cooperation in Asia.

  • The purposes of this study was to collect, analyze, and describe the MF exposure levels from subways in Korea and to measure and evaluate the MF levels generated from electric appliances used at general homes. The target subway lines were Seoul Metropolitan Line 1 to Line 8, Bundang Line, Incheon Line, Daegu Line, Gwangju Line, and Busan Line 1 and Line 2. We measured at each station in those subway lines and, all the train types (pantograph-equipped, motor-equipped, and common), and platform types(facing and isolating) were investigated by the distance(80, 200, 400 cm) from the train on 19 targeted subway lines using 3 magnetic field measuring devices (EMDEXII, Enertech Co.) during the survey from January till October, 2004. On the other hand, the levels of the 60Hz magnetic fields generated from 14 items of home electric appliances such as electric blankets, hair dryers, electric razors, etc. were measured at 10 general homes using 5 EMDEXII meters with a sampling interval of 1.5 second by the distance(surface, 30, 50, 100, 300cm ) from the target electric appliances. The survey results in the whole subway lines examined in this study were as follows; Seoul Metropolitan Line 4 using AC(alternating current) power source showed the highest mean value of $2.85{\mu}T$, followed by Seoul Metropolitan Line 1 running between Seoul and Incheon using AC($2.78{\mu}T$), Seoul Metropolitan Line 1 between Seoul and Uijongbu using AC($2.73{\mu}T$), Bundang Line using AC($1.79{\mu}T$), Seoul Metropolitan Line 1 connected from Yongsan using AC($1.67{\mu}T$), Seoul Metropolitan Line 1 between Seoul and Suwon using AC($0.79{\mu}T$), and so on. In general, the intensity of the magnetic field in the subway systems in Korea was significantly higher when using AC($2.14{\pm}0.91{\mu}T$) than when using DC($0.29{\pm}0.44{\mu}T$) power source. Among the home electric appliances examined, microwave ovens showed the highest mean value of $7.69{\mu}T$, followed by hair dryers($6.47{\mu}T$), vacuum cleaners($5.27{\mu}T$), televisions ($2.26{\mu}T$), electric blankets($1.38{\mu}T$), personal computers ($0.81{\mu}T$), and so on. Two items of electric appliances showed the excess value of $0.2{\mu}T$ at the distance of 30cm in the MF exposure level; electric razors $1.58{\pm}2.13{\mu}T$ and vacuum cleaners $0.48{\pm}0.44{\mu}T$. As a whole, this study showed a tendency that the shift of the MF levels according to the increase of distance from the electric appliances was lower than those of the results surveyed in UK and USA. As a result, this study is expected to suggest meaningful data for the future study in exposure assessment of magnetic fields and for the establishment of guidelines for subways and electric appliances in Korea. More detailed and large scaled exposure assessment studies should be performed continuously to get the various and useful information on health risk assessment of MFs in Korea.

  • 김장김치를 김치냉장고에서 6개월간 '숙성 후 저장'과 '저온 저장' 모드에서 저장하였을 때 발효 양상을 비교해 보았다. 본 연구에 사용한 '숙성 후 저장' 모드에 보관한 김치는 $10^{\circ}C$에서 5일간 발효시킨 후 $-2.5^{\circ}C$에 저장한 F1김치, $15^{\circ}C$에서 1일 발효시킨 후 $-2.5^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 F2김치이고, '저온 저장'에 보관한 김치는 담금 즉시 $-1^{\circ}C$에 저장한 S1김치와 $-2.5^{\circ}C$에 저장한 F2김치 4종류이다. '숙성 후 저장'한 F1김치는 2주에 pH 4.4, 그리고 산도는 0.6%로 숙성기에 접어들었으나 F2김치는 8주, '저온 저장'한 S1김치는 12주에 그리고 S2김치는 저장 말기에 숙성기로 접어들었다. Lactobacillus spp. 생육은 F1 및 F2김치에서는 저장 초기부터 급속히 증식하여 8주에 최대 균수인 8.0~9.0 log CFU/mL에 도달한 후 F1김치에서는 균수가 6개월간 지속된 반면, F2김치에서는 저장 12주 이후 감소하였다. S1과 S2김치에서는 8주에 최대 균수인 6.8 log CFU/mL에 도달하여 적숙기 최대 균수에 미치지 못하였다. Leuconostoc spp.는 저장모드에 따라 최대 생육 시점은 다르나 8.0~9.0 log CFU/mL에 도달하였다. F1김치의 Leuconostoc spp.는 6개월 동안 지속적으로 성장하여 최대 생육에 도달한 반면, 다른 김치 시료에서는 최대 생육 후 균이 감소하였다. 고온 젖산균인 Lactobacillus spp.의 생육은 '저온 저장'한 김치에서 억제되었으나 Leuconostoc spp.의 생육은 $-2.5^{\circ}C$와 같이 낮은 온도에서도 최대 생육을 하였다. 김장김치의 관능은 저장 3개월까지 외관, 신맛, 탄산미, 아삭아삭함에서 F1김치가 가장 높은 평가를 받았는데 이는 Lactobacillus spp.와 Leuconostoc spp.의 균수가 가장 높았기 때문으로 생각된다. 6개월 후에는 F1와 S1김치가 높은 평가를 받았는데, S1김치는 저장 말기에 신맛과 탄산미가 증가하는 현상을 보였는데, 이는 Leuconostoc spp.의 균수 저장 후기에 높아졌기 때문으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 김장김치를 저장 기간 내 맛있게 먹기 위해서는 김치를 완전히 숙성시킨 후 저온에서 저장하는 방법인 $10^{\circ}C$에서 5일 동안 발효시켜 $-2.5^{\circ}C$로 온도 변환하는 시스템이 가장 우수하였다. '저온 저장' 온도로는 $-1^{\circ}C$$-2.5^{\circ}C$보다 우수하였다.

  • 보루각루를 발전시킨 흠경각루는 세종이 계획하고 장영실이 제작했다. 1438년에 완성한 흠경각루는 수격식 혼의와 혼상의 동력 발생 방식(Lee & Kim, 2012; Mihn et al., 2016)을 채택하였을 뿐만 아니라, 보루각루에서 검증된 구슬 신호 방식과 방목장치를 개량한 걸턱 신호를 활용한 것으로 추론된다. 비록 흠경각루의 내부 구조에 대한 자세한 기술은 없지만, 가산의 상층, 중층, 하층에서 시각에 따라 운행되는 시보시스템 모델을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 본 연구의 흠경각루 모델은 수차의 회전 동력이 기륜 주축에 연결된 세 기륜(4신기륜, 시보기륜, 12신기륜)의 회전력을 기반으로 각종 인형들을 작동시키는 메커니즘으로 구현하였다. 흠경각루 시보시스템 모델을 통한 작동구조와 주요 특징을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 4신기륜은 걸턱과 지레를 이용해 4신옥녀의 종을 치고, 4신이 90℃씩 회전하도록 구성했다. 둘째, 시보기륜에서 주전의 역할과 기능을 갖도록 12시진·5경·5점의 걸턱, 밀쇠, 구슬키잡이를 설치해 구슬신호를 발생시키고, 구슬신호 분배기를 통해 경점시간을 알렸다. 셋째, 12신기륜에서 걸턱, 마중쇠, 저울쇠 등을 설치해 12신옥녀와 12신의 작동을 제어했다. 보루각루를 더욱 발전시킨 흠경각루에서는 걸턱, 지레, 주전, 구슬 신호 등을 적용하여 이슬람의 기술요소를 다양한 방식으로 확장하여 적용했다. 이러한 전통은 17세기 조선의 혼천시계 제작 방법에서도 그대로 계승되었다.

  • 목적: 실제 촬영 결과와 전자기 모의실험 결과를 시각적으로 비교함으로써 위상배열코일을 이루는 모든 코일 요소의 감도를 효과적으로 검증할 수 있는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 대상과 방법: 위상배열코일검증기(PACE)라 불리는 프로그램을 MATLAB과 C언어를 이용해 구현하였다. 위상배열 코일검증기는 코일 소자의 3차원 형상 모델 구축, FDTD 모의실험 결과의 수용, 보통의 직각좌표계 및 코일면에 기준하는 직각좌표계 상에서 각기 코일 소자 감도를 도시하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 위상배열코일의 3차원 형상 모델을 구축하기 위해 바늘침 모양의 3차원 전자기 위치추적기를 사용하였다. 3차원 형상 모델을 만든 뒤, 이 형상 모델 데이터를 FDTD 모의실험 장치에 보낼 수 있게 하였다. 결과: 3차원 전자기 위치추적기를 이용해 실제 실험에 사용된 위상배열코일과 FDTD 모의실험에 사용된 위상배열코일 모델을 정확하게 일치시킴으로써, 각기 코일 소자의 공간적 감도를 평가할 때 모의실험 결과와 촬영실험 결과 사이 정확한 비교가 가능하게 되었다. 모의실험과 실제 촬영실험에는 36 채널의 헬멧형 위상배열코일을 사용하였다. MRI 촬영 대상체로는 FDTD 모의실험의 모델과 같은 크기와 형상을 가진 원통형 팬텀을 사용하였다. 개발한 프로그램에서는 위상배열코일의 성능을 편리하게 평가하기 위해 관심 코일 소자를 쉽게 선택할 수 있게 하였다. 결론: 개발한 위상배열코일 성능 검증 프로그램은 위상배열코일의 개발 및 정기적인 유지보수에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Background: The prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and phospholipase A2 group IIA (PLA2G2A) genes encode enzymes that are involved in arachidonic acid and prostaglandin biosynthesis. Dysregulation of both genes is associated with inflammation and carcinogenesis, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We therefore hypothesized that there is an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes and susceptibility to ESCC. Methods: We performed a gene-wide tag SNP-based association study to examine the association of SNPs in PTGS2 and PLA2G2A with ESCC in 269 patients and 269 healthy controls from Taihangshan Mountain, Henan and Hebei Provinces, the rural area of China which has the highest incidence of esophageal cancer in the world. Thirteen tag SNPs in PLA2G2A and 4 functional SNPs in PTGS2 were selected and genotyped using a high-throughput Mass Array genotyping platform. Results: We found a modest increased risk of ESCC in subjects with the PTGS2 rs12042763 AA genotype (OR=1.23; 95% CI, 1.00-3.04) compared with genotype GG. For PLA2G2A, a decreased risk of ESCC was observed in subjects with the rs11677 CT (OR=0.51, 95%CI, 0.29-0.85) or TT genotype (OR=0.51, 95%CI, 0.17-0.96) or the T carriers (CT+TT) (OR=0.52, 95%CI, 0.31-0.85) when compared with the CC genotype. Also for PLA2G2A, rs2236771 C allele carriers were more frequent in the control group (P=0.02). Subjects with the GC (OR=0.55, 95%CI, 0.33-0.93) or CC genotype (OR=0.38, 95% CI, 0.16-0.94) or the C carriers (GC+CC) (OR=0.52, 95%CI, 0.32-0.85) showed a negative association with ESCC susceptibility. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PTGS2 and PLA2G2A gene polymorphisms may modify the risk of ESCC development.

  • 본 논문에서는 고품질 비압축 오디오 트래픽의 분배 시에 요구되는 낮은 지연 및 지터를 보장하고 이더넷 환경에서 데이터 트래픽의 효율적인 교환을 가능하게 하는 새로운 L1/L2 혼합형 중계 방식을 적용한 이더넷 기반 오디오 분배 시스템을 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다. 제안하는 방식이 적용된 오디오 분배 시스템은 마스터 노드와 다수의 중계 노드로 구성되며 이들은 상호간에 상향 하향 링크를 통하여 데이지 체인 형태로 연결된다. 마스터 노드는 스테레오 24채널에서 PCM샘플링된 16비트 오디오 채널을 수납할 수 있는 오디오 프레임을 125us의 주기마다 생성하여 하향 링크를 통해 전송한다. 하향 링크를 통하여 오디오 프레임을 수신한 중계 노드들은 생성한 오디오 트래픽을 해당 노드에게 할당된 오디오 채널에 수납하고 다음 중계노드로 물리 계층 기반(L1)의 전송을 한다. 망의 종단 노드는 수신되는 오디오 프레임을 상향 링크를 통하여 마스터 노드로 루프백시키고 오디오가 상향 링크를 통하여 전송되는 과정에서 모든 중계 노드들은 자신이 수신해야 할 오디오 채널을 복사하여 오디오를 재생한다. 오디오 프레임의 송신이 완료되면 남은 기간 동안 중계 노드들은 L2 스위치로 동작하면서 데이터 프레임을 데이터 링크 계층 기반(L2)에서 교환한다. 이와 같은 L1/L2 혼합형 중계 방식의 동작을 위해 노드 입력 부의 물리 계층과 데이터 링크 간에 존재하는 MII에 오디오 프레임과 데이터 프레임을 구분하는 기능을 가지는 글루로직을 새로 추가하였다. 제안된 방식에 대하여 네트워크 시뮬레이터인 OMNeT++를 사용하고 다양한 파라미터를 통하여 제안된 방식이 오디오 트래픽의 지연 특성과 데이터 트래픽의 전송 효율 면에서 우수한 특성을 제공할 수 있음을 보였다. 제안된 방식은 물리 계층 기반의 전송 또는 데이터 링크 기반의 전송 방식을 사용하는 기존 이더넷 기반 오디오 분배 기술에 비하여 향상된 지연 성능 및 전송 효율을 제공할 수 있어 오디오분배 시스템뿐만 아니라 비디오분배 시스템, 디지털 AV장치 간의 연결 등에도 활용될 수 있다.

  • Statement of problem: Repeated delivery and removal of abutment cause some changes such as wear, scratch or defect of hexagonal structure. It may increase the value of rotational freedom(RF) between hexagonal structures. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate surface changes and rotational freedom between the external hexagon of the implant fixture and internal hexagon of abutment after repeated delivery and removal under SEM and toolmaker's microscope. Materials and methods: Implant systems used for this study were 3i and Avana. Seven pail's of implant fixture, abutment and abutment screws for each system were selected and all fixtures were perpendicularly mounted in liquid unsaturated polyesther with dental surveyor. Each one was embedded beneath the platform of fixture. Surfaces of hexagonal structure before repeated closing and opening of abutment were observed using SEM and rotational freedom was measured by using toolmaker's microscope. Each abutment was secured to the implant future by each abutment screw with recommended torque value using a digital torque controller and was repeatedly delivered and removed by 20 times respectively. After experiment, evaluation for the change of hexagonal structures and measurement of rotational freedom were performed. Result : The results were as follows; 1. Wear of contact area between implant fixture and abutment was considerable in both 3i and Avana system. Scratches and defects were frequently observed at the line-angle of hexagonal structures of implant fixture and abutment. 2. In the SEM view of the external hexagon of implant fixture, the point-angle areas at the corner edge of hexagon were severely worn out in both systems. It was more notable in the case of 3i systems than in that of Avana systems. 3. In the SEM view of the internal hexagon of abutment, Gingi-Hue abutment of 3i systems showed severe wear in micro-stop contacts that were machined into the corners to prevent rotation and cemented abutment of Avana systems showed wear in both surface area adjacent to the corner mating with external hexagon of implant fixture. 4 The mean values of rotational freedom between the external hexagon of the implant fixture and internal hexagon of abutment were 0.48$\pm$0.04$^{\circ}$ in pre-tested 3i systems and 1.18$\pm$0.25$^{\circ}$ after test, and 1.80$\pm$0.04$^{\circ}$ in pre-tested Avana systems and 2.61$\pm$0.16$^{\circ}$ after test. 5. Changes of rotational freedom after test shouted statistical)y a significant increase in both 3i and Avana systems(P<0.05, paired t-test). 6. Statistically, there was no significant difference between amount of increase in the rotational freedom of 3i systems and amount of increase in that of Avana ones(P>0.05, unpaired t-test). Conclusion: Conclusively, it was considered that repeated delivery and remove of abutment by 20 times would not have influence on screw joint stability. However, it caused statistically the significant change of rotational freedom in tested systems. Therefore, it is suggested that repeated delivery and remove of abutment should be minimal as possible as it could be and be done carefully Additionally, it is suggested that the means or treatment to prevent the wear of mating components should be devised.

  • New internet technologies have created a revolutionary new platform which allows consumers to make decision about product price and quality quickly and provides information about themselves through the transcript of online reviews. By expressing their feelings toward products or services on virtual opinion platforms, users extend their influence into cyberspace as electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM). Existing research indicates that an impact of eWOM on the consumer decision process is influential. For both academic researchers and practitioners, investigating this phenomenon of information sharing in online website is essential given the increasing number of consumers using them as sources of purchase decisions. It is worthwhile to examine the extent to which opinion seekers are willing to accept and adopt online reviews and which factors encourage adoption. Discerning the most motivating aspects of information adoption in particular, could help electronic marketers better promote their brand and presence on the internet. The objectives of this study are to investigate how online WOM influences a persons' purchase decision by discovering which factors encourage information adoption. Especially focused on the self-efficacy, this research investigates how self-efficacy affects on information usefulness and adoption of online information. Although people are exposed to same review or comment about product or service, some accept the reviews while others do not. We notice that accepting online reviews mainly depends on the person's preference or personal characteristics. This study empirically examines this issue by using cognitive dissonance theory. Specifically, in the movie industry, we address few questions-is always positive WOM generating positive effect? What if the movie isn't the person's favorite genre? What if the person who is very self-assertive so doesn't take other's opinion easily? In these cases of cognitive dissonance, is always WOM generating same result? While many studies have focused on one direct of WOM which indicates positive (or negative) informative reviews or comments generate positive (or negative) results and more (or less) profits, this study investigates not only directional properties of WOM but also how people change their opinion towards product or service positive to negative, negative to positive through the online WOM. An experiment was conducted quantitatively by using a sample of 168 users who have experience within the online movie review site, 'Naver Movie'. Users were required to complete a survey regarding reviews and comments taken from the real movie page. The data reflected user's perceptions of online WOM information that determined users' adoption level. Analysis results provide empirical support for the proposed theoretical perspective. When user can't agree with the opinion of online WOM information, in other words, when cognitive dissonance between online WOM information and users' preference occurs, perceived self-efficacy significantly decreases customers' perception of usefulness. And this perception of usefulness plays an important role in determining users' intention to adopt online WOM information. Most of researches have been concentrated on characteristics of online WOM itself such as quality or vividness of information, credibility of source and direction of online WOM, etc. for describing effect of online WOM, but our results suggest that users' personal character (e.g., self-efficacy) plays decisive role for acceptance of online WOM information. Higher self-efficacy means lower possibility to accept the information that represents counter opinion because of cognitive dissonance, whereas the people that have lower self-efficacy are willing to accept the online WOM information as true and refer to purchase decision. This study suggests a model for understanding role of direction of online WOM information. Also, our result implicates the importance of online review supervision and personalized information service by confirming switching opinion negative to positive is more difficult than positive to negative through the online WOM information. This implication would help marketers to manage online reviews of their products or services.

Catphan-600 (The Phantom Laboratory, USA) 팬텀을 CT와 CBCT 촬영 후 CT 영상을 이용하여 간단한 단계별조사(step-and-shoot) 방식의 세기조절방사선치료(intensity-modulated radiation therapy; IMRT) 계획을 수립하였다. 이후 빔전달 시 생성된 MLC 로그데이터(Dynalog)를 이용하여 실제 전달된 세그먼트 별 모니터단위(MU) 가중치와 MLC 엽(leaf)의 위치를 구한 후 이를 다시 Pinnacle3에 넣고 선량을 재계산하였다. 초기 치료 계획은 치료 계획용 CT 영상($CT_{plan}$) 및 CBCT 영상($CBCT_{plan}$)에 대하여 계산되었으며, 재구성된 선량 역시 치료 계획용 CT 영상($CT_{recon}$) 및 CBCT 영상($CBCT_{recon}$)에 대하여 계산되었다. 각 선량 계산을 $CT_{plan}$을 기준으로 하여 2차원 선량분포, 감마 인덱스, 선량-부피 히스토그램(dose-volume histogram; DVH)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 2차원 선량분포 및 DVH 분석 모두에서 원래의 치료 계획보다 실제 전달된 선량이 다소 많은 것으로 나타났으나 임상적인 의미는 미미했다. 감마 인덱스의 경우 CBCT에 선량을 계산했을 때 치료 계획 정보나 재구성된 선량 정보를 이용한 경우 모두 오차가 크게 발생했다. 재구성된 선량은 빔의 경계 부분에서 오차가 크게 발생하였으나 그 영향은 CT 및 CBCT 영상 간 차이에 의한 것보다 작았다. CBCT 영상에 전달된 선량을 재구성하게 되면 두 영향이 복합적으로 작용하여 오차는 더 줄어들게 되지만 $CT_{plan}$$CBCT_{plan}$의 차이에 비하여 $CBCT_{plan}$$CBCT_{recon}$ 차이는 상대적으로 작아 전달된 선량의 오차를 평가할 때 불확실성이 커졌다. 그러므로 선량 계산 오차의 양상은 셋업 오차, CBCT 영상을 이용한 선량 계산 오차 및 재구성된 선량 계산의 오차로 나누어 분석될 필요가 있을 것이다.
