Desertification is one of the main global environmental phenomena. It has resulted in deterioration environment and poor economy, and imposed threat to the surviving environment of the overall mankind. Therefore, creating of methods for monitoring and estimate of risk desertification are necessary. Early warning system is one of important ways for monitoring and forecasting of desertification. Remote Sensing and GIS technology are as suitable tools and methods for early warning system. In this aim, we have evaluated of applications of remote sensing and GIS in monitoring and estimating desertification process (case study in Fars Province of Iran). In this research, we have considered erosion and vegetation cover parameters as main factors affecting in desertification process. The result shows that remote sensing and GIS technology could be useful in evaluation of desertification as one method for desertification early warning. Also, Results suggested that erosion and plant cover are affecting in develop the desertification process in study area.

A retrospective analysis of 175 patients who were suffering from trigeminal neuralgia was done. We found 21 cases (12.0%) of abnormal findings including brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease on brain MRI. All patients were transferred to department of neurosurgery for operation. Among them, 7 patients refused or gave up operation and received nerve blocks with pure alcohol. Their MRI findings were meningioma, arachnoid cyst, arteriovenous malformation, venous angioma, and frontal sinus cancer This study demonstrates that peripheral nerve block or trigeminal nerve block with pure alcohol would be possible in case of elderly patients, patients who have poor general condition, patients who refuse operation, and brain tumor or cerebrovascular disease which located in dangerous area to be operated.

In layered communication architecture, each layer is designed to service its own functions to higher layer while getting serviced by lower layer. Usually layered architectures are not optimized in a total view of whole services and functions. So cross layer design pursues performance enhancements by optimizing in various ways. In LTE, MAC layer uses HARQ mechanism and RLC layer uses ARQ mechanism for retransmission. According to the 3GPP 36.331 specification, two layers' cooperation may not happen in an optimized way. This paper suggests an adaptive MAC layer approach which RLC layer's function might be initiated in MAC layer in advance to utilize MAC layer's idling wasting time for RLC layer's next decision. This adaptive ARQ method in MAC layer speeds up the next retransmission and reduces the overall transmission time. Emulation shows the improved performance in total retransmission time and retransmission success ratio. In wireless shadow area, the retransmission occurs frequently. Our approach has strong points in this poor wireless condition.

Joining of thermoplastics is an area of growing importance in the automotive, aerospace, electronics medical and other domestic appliance industries. While adhesive Bonding or mechanical fastening could be used to join thermoplastics, welding is very effective because of its speed and low cost. This study investgated the ultrasonic joining of thermoplastics. Four kinds of thermoplastics such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Polystyrene, Polyethylene and Polypropylene were used, ultilizing all possible joining combinations. In each combination of thermoplastics, the weldability of the joint was evaluated as a function of weld time, amplitude of vibration and pressure. It was generally found that joining of amorphous thermoplastics with semicrystalline thermopastics resulted in poor joints due to its different crystalline structure. Joining of the amorphous thermoplastics together and joining of the semicrystalline thermoplastics together produced the best joints owing to its same crystalline structure.

The methodology of applying fabric stretch ratio in the grants pattern drafting was evaluated. The experimental fabrics employed in this study were 3 different knit fabrics with various stretch ratio in vertical or horizontal direction. The firm fitting pants pattern was modified by applying the fabric stretch ratio in vertical ana horizontal direction. The computer automatic drafting method was used for pants pattenl alteration. The suitability of the altered pattern was evaluated by the 7 clothing specialists, The results showed that fit of all experimental garments was improved in general. The garment which was constructed with the fabric having large difference between horizontal stretch ratio and vertical stretch ratio showed poor fit at crotch area. This result implies that computer aided pattern alteration is not appropriate when fabric stretch ratio is vary by the fabric directions.

The camera has limitations of poor visibility in underwater environment due to the limited light source and medium noise of the environment. However, its usefulness in close range has been proved in many studies, especially for navigation. Thus, in this paper, vision-based object detection and tracking techniques using artificial objects for underwater robots have been studied. We employed template matching and mean shift algorithms for the object detection and tracking methods. Also, we propose the weighted correlation coefficient of adaptive threshold -based and color-region-aided approaches to enhance the object detection performance in various illumination conditions. The color information is incorporated into the template matched area and the features of the template are used to robustly calculate correlation coefficients. And the objects are recognized using multi-template matching approach. Finally, the water basin experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed techniques using an underwater robot platform yShark made by KORDI.

The majority of small/medium sized shipbuilders in Korea is poor in capital and then, should be restructured as an efficient production system with low investment. Due to considering this situation, the cooperative work system is proposed, in this study, as more effective production system for small/medium sized shipbuilder The cooperative work system Is the production system that many small/medium sized shipbuilders in a group jointly share the common facilities except minimum equipments and have managerial cooperation such as joint purchase of raw materials. The efficiency of cooperative work system is proved from economic and technical point of view with the case study of FRP shipbuilders of Sapjin industrial complex located at Mokpo area.

Triphenylamine derivatives play important roles as hole transporting materials in organic light emitting devices. However, low molecular weight triphenylamine derivatives show low glass transition temperature and aggregation behavior, and the vapor deposition step of low molecular weight materials is incompatible with large area display fabrication. Conventional polymer PEDOT-PSS HTL has serious drawbacks such as the ITO anode corrosion, poor surface energy match with aromatic EMLs. To solve these problems, we introduced crosslinkable units to triphenylamine-based polymers to make insoluble HTL by thermal curing following spin-coating. Electrochemical and optical properties of the new hole transporting materials were investigated. In addition, the device characteristics obtained with new hole transporting polymers were investigated in details.

We report a case of myiasis on the left submandibular area after radiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma. A 77-year-old man visited our hospital, 7 weeks after complicating a course of radiation therapy, had a 7cm diameter necrotic ulcer on the left submandible. The margin of the lesion were undermined by numerous interlinking passages containing 20 maggots. The maggots were removed by simple extraction and were identified as Calliphoridae Lucilia. The probable origin of the myiasis in this case was attributed to poor environmental condition and general weakness of the patient. Oppotunistic cutaneous myiasis can be prevented by protecting open wounds from flies, wound should not be left without a covering capable of excluding flies, especially in the summer month.
