After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), comprehensive management of complications, including the need for Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (PPI), is crucial, increasing the demand for accurate prediction models. Departing from traditional image-based methods, this study developed an optimal PPI prediction model based on ECG data using the XGBoost algorithm. Focusing on ECG signals like DeltaPR and DeltaQRS as key indicators, the model effectively identifies the correlation between conduction disorders and PPI needs, achieving superior performance with an AUC of 0.91. Validated using data from two hospitals, it demonstrated a high similarity rate of 95.28% in predicting PPI from ECG characteristics. This confirms the model's effective applicability across diverse hospital data, establishing a significant advancement in the development of reliable and practical PPI prediction models with reduced dependence on human intervention and costly medical imaging.

This study aims to consider the effects of the change in communication culture affected by 'Social Media' on the film marketing. Particularly, Twitter, a kind of Social Media which shows the most rapid growth recently, is examined for what kind of benefits it's functional characteristics would provide for film marketing. Twitter, which has distinctive characteristics such as free access, the high level of attention resulting from its simplicity, alarming speed of spreading information and low costs, offers a variety of marketing opportunities not only for general commercial films but for low budget or independent films that do not have sufficient marketing opportunity. In the case of the documentary film (2010, Woo-jung Kwon), starting from the process of the film production through release to the time after the screening, it continued to communicate with potential audiences via Twitter and tried every tool of film marketing like advertising, PR, promotion and word of mouth. By doing so, it provides a model for low budget or independent films about what alternative activities they might be able to conduct for film marketing.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation of fertilizing ability following the morphologically normal sperm ratio in porcine IVF using epididymal sperm The results obtained in this experiment were summarized as follows: 1. When the penetration rate (PR), polysper my rate (PSR), pronuclei formation (2PNF) and mean number of sperm (MNS) per oocyte were evaluated according to the percentage of morphologically normal epididyrnal sperm at insemination($\leq$lO%, 10~30% and $\geq$50%). the PR and PSR of $\leq$50% group (82.4, 87.4%) were significantly higher than those of other two groups ($\leq$lO%; 29.7%, 22.6% and 10~30%; 20.3, 37.0%) (p<0.01). Also, the 2PNF per examined oocytes was significantly high in $\geq$ 50% group (p<0.01). 2. When the $\geq$50% group in epididymal sperm was adjusted to 100% (5x1$^5$ cells/ml) , the PSR and 2PNF were not different between epididymal sperm (86.7, 35.1%) and frozen-thawed ejaculated sperm (86.0. 39.4%) although the PR in epididymal sperm (79.7%) was significantly lower than that in frozen-thawed ejaculated sperm (95.5%)(p<0.01). 3. Also. when the PR, PSR, 2PNF and MNS of epididymal sperm were evaluated according to the oocyte: sperm ratio (1:6000, 1:6650. 1:7700 and 1: 10000) at insemination. the PR, PSR and MNS were increased as the oocyte:sperm ratio increases. However, this result indicated that the 2PNF was high in the oocyte:sperm ratio (1:6000 and 1:6650). Therefore. these results suggested that when the percentage of morphologically normal epididymal sperm was more than 50. the fertilizing a ability was very similar to that of frozen-thawed ejaculated sperm and that the detailed evalu¬a ation of morphological normality in porcine IVF using epididymal sperm should be prerequisite to obtain the more effective fertilizing ability.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of concrete flexural strength and surface smoothness, which were pay factors of concrete pavements, on pavement performance, and to develop the methodologies to determine the proper allowable ranges according to the magnitudes of those pay factors. The concrete flexural strength was analyzed using the AASHTO, power, and linear fatigue failure models, and the surface smoothness was analyzed for the roughness indices of PSI, IRI, and PrI using the AASHTO model. The analysis results showed that the allowable range of the flexural strength should be determined using the rate between the deficiency and strength, and the penalty should be linearly proportional to the strength deficiency rate because the linear relationship between the strength deficiency rate and the reduction in pavement life was observed. As the initial surface smoothness became better, the smoothness deficiency rate should be larger. The penalty due to the surface smoothness deficiency should also be linearly proportional to the smoothness deficiency rate.

The copolymerization of ethylene (E) and norbornene (N) was examined by using various metallocene catalysts and modified-MAO(MMAO) cocatalyst. For $C_2$-symmetry catalysts such as rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$, M $e_2$Si(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$, M $e_2$Si(Cp)$_2$ZrC $l_2$ and Cs-symmetrical iPr(FluCp)ZrC $l_2$ as well as CGC and di-bridged zirconocene, the effects of catalyst structure and [N]/[E] feed ratio on catalyst activity, thermal property and [N] content of copolymer (COC) was investigated. For rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$ catalyst of a constant [N]/[E] feed ratio, the appropriate conditions of [Al]/[Zr] mole ratio, polymerization temperature and cocatalyst structure were found to be 3000, 4$0^{\circ}C$, MMAO cocatalyst, respectively. As [N]/[E] feed ratio increased, the incorporation of norbornene to copolymer increased while, the activity of catalyst decreased except for iPr(FluCp)ZrC $l_2$ With consideration of catalyst activity as well as N content, it was found that rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$/MMAO system exhibited relatively high activity and controllable $T_{g}$. Monomer reactivity ratio was determined by Kelen-Tudos method..

An increase in $CO_2$ will affect plant pathogenic microorganisms, the resistance of host plants, and host-pathogen interactions. This study used Capsicum annuum and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, a pathogenic bacterium of pepper, to investigate the interactions between hosts and pathogens in conditions of increased $CO_2$ concentrations. Our analysis of disease resistance genes under 800 ppm $CO_2$ using quantitative RT-PCR showed that the expression of CaLRR1, CaPIK1, and PR10 decreased, but that of negative regulator WRKY1 increased. Additionally, the disease progress and severity was higher at 800 ppm than 400 ppm $CO_2$. These results will aid in understanding the interaction between red pepper and X. euvesicatoria under increased $CO_2$ concentrations in the future.

플라즈마를 활용한 미세 패턴의 건식 식각은 반도체 소자 공정에 있어서 가장 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 한편, 매년 발행되는 ITRS Roadmap 에 따르면 DRAM 의 1/2 pitch 는 감소하는 동시에 Contact A/R (Aspect Ratio) 는 증가하고 있다. 이러한 추세 속에서 기존의 공정을 그대로 활용할 경우 식각물의 프로파일 왜곡 혹은 휨 현상이 발생하고 식각 속도가 저하되며 이러한 특성들이 결과적으로는 생산성의 저하로 이어질 수 있다. 이러한 현상을 최소화하기 위해서는 무엇보다 독립된 plasma parameter 들이 식각물의 프로파일 혹은 식각 속도 등에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지에 대한 학문적 이해가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최소 CD (Critical Dimenstion) 100nm, 최대 A/R 30 인 HARC (High Aspect Ration Contact hole) 의 식각 특성이 plasma parameter 에 따라 어떻게 변하는지 확인해 보고자 한다. 산화물의 식각은 대표적인 high density plasma source 중의 하나인 ICP에서 진행하였으며 기존에 알려진 plasma parameter 에 더하여 자장의 인가가 산화물의 식각 특성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 살펴보고자 전자석을 ICP 에 추가로 설치하여 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로, plasma parameter 에 따른 혹은 자장의 세기 변화에 따른 산화물의 식각 실험을 플라즈마 진단 실험과 병행하여 진행함으로써 다양한 인자에 따른 산화물의 식각 메커니즘을 정확하게 이해하고자 하였다. 실험 내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 전자석의 전류 인가 조건에 따라 축 방향 혹은 반경 방향으로의 자장의 분포가 달라질 수 있음을 확인하였고 플라즈마 진단 결과 축 방향 혹은 반경 방향으로의 자장이 증가하였을 때 고밀도의 플라즈마가 형성될 수 있음은 물론 반경 방향으로의 플라즈마 밀도의 균일도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 ICP 조건에서 바이어스 주파수, 압력, 바이어스 파워, 소스 파워, 가스 유량 등의 plasma parameter 가 산화물의 식각 특성에 미치는 영향 및 메커니즘을 규명하였고 이 과정을 통해 최적화된 프로파일을 바탕으로 축 방향 혹은 반경 방향으로 증가하는 자장을 인가하였을 때 (M-ICP 혹은 자화 유도 결합 플라즈마) ICP 대비 산화물의 식각 속도가 증가함은 물론 PR-to-oxide 의 선택비가 개선될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 자장의 인가에 따른 산화물의 정확한 식각 메커니즘은 향후의 실험 진행을 통해 이해하고 이를 통해 궁극적으로는 산화물의 식각 공정이 나아가야 할 올바른 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Background: Primary focal hyperhidrosis is characterized by overactivity of the sympathetic nervous function, and this has been effectively treated with endoscopic thoracic sympathetic denervation (ESD). The imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system that's created by ESD may affect the heart, lung and other thoracic organs. We analyzed the heart rate and ECG changes after performing ESD at our hospital, and this is the first such study that has been conducted on this. Material and Method: Of the 263 patients who underwent ESD between October 1996 and October 2006, 130 had ECG before and after ESD, and they were classified into 3 groups according to the level of ESD: Group I (n=40) patients underwent ESD at the 2nd rib (T2ESD), Group II (n=80) at the 3rd rib (T3ESD) and Group III (n=10) at the 4th rib (T4ESD). Result: There was no mortality or major morbidity. Heart rate (HR) was significantly decreased from $71.6{\pm}10.6/min\;to\;66.8{\pm}10.2/min$ after ESD (p<0.01); however, the PR (from $148.6{\pm}21.2$ msec to $152.8{\pm}20.5$ msec) and QTc (from $399.2{\pm}15.4$ msec to $404.0{\pm}15.1$ msec) intervals were significantly increased after ESD in the patients who suffered with primary hyperhidrosis (p<0.01). According to the level of ESD, there were significant changes in the HR and QTc interval in group I (T2ESD), the HR and PR interval in group II and the QTc interval in Group III. Conclusion: There were significant changes in the heart rate and ECG findings after ESD. The thoracic sympathetic denervation of T2, T3 and T4 affected the electrical activity of the heart at the resting state.
