Background and purpose : Patients with acute leukemia experience prolonged periods of neutropenia due to their disease or its treatment. For this reason, they often develop serious infectious complications. Although antibiotic therapy has improved in recent years, the fatality rate from infection remains high. For the control of infection, protected environment was developed. But because of economic issue, most of chemotherapy with acute myeloid leukemia have conducted in non-protected environment. So this study compared the rate of complete remission, days with neutropenia, rate of fever, rate of positive culture, rate of overt infection and use of antibacterial and antifungal agents with patients within non-protected environment and protected environment, retrospectively, Patients with acute myeloid leukemia during first remission induction chemotherapy were eligible for this study, Methods : Retrospective analysis was conducted between patients in non-protected (25 patients) and protected environment (14 patients) with acute myeloid leukemia during remission induction chemotherapy Results : Rate of overt infection, rate of fever, rate of positive culture and rate of use of antibiotics were significantly high in patients within non-protected environment compared with patients within protected environment. There were no differences in rate of complete remission and days of neutropenia Conclusions : This study suggests protected environment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia during remission induction chemotherapy could reduce rate of overt infection, and rate of use of antibiotics.

Protected vegetable production area is greater than 26% of the total vegetable production area in Korea, and portion of protected production area is increasing for flowers and fruits. To secure stable productivity and profitability, continuous and intensive monitoring and control of protected crop production environment is critical, which is labor- and time-consuming. Failure to maintain proper environmental conditions (e.g., light, temperature, humidity) leads to significant damage to crop growth and quality, therefore farmers should visit or be present close to the production area. To overcome these problems, application of remote monitoring and control of crop production environment has been increasing. Wireless monitoring and control systems have used CDMA, internet, and smart phone communications. Levels of technology adoption are different for farmers' needs for their cropping systems. In this paper, potential of wireless remote monitoring of protected agricultural environment using CDMA SMS text messages was reported. Monitoring variables were outside weather (precipitation, wind direction and velocity, temperature, and humidity), inside ambient condition (temperature, humidity, $CO_2$ level, and light intensity), irrigation status (irrigation flow rate and pressure), and soil condition (volumetric water content and matric potential). Scenarios and data formats for environment monitoring were devised, tested, and compared. Results of this study would provide useful information for adoption of wireless remote monitoring techniques by farmers.

장미는 광포화점이 50,000 lux 이상으로 광요구도가 매우 큰 화훼작물이다. 따라서 유리와 같은 광투광율이 높은 자재를 피복한 온실에서 색도나 절화의 특성이 우수하여 품질이 향상된다. 그러나 온실에 유입되는 태양에너지가 매우 커서 계절에 따라서는 열집적현상이 나타나 고온과 일소현상과 같은 이유로 식물체가 스트레스를 받기도 한다. 이러한 현상은 장미를 재배하는 시설의 피복자재에 따라 차이가 매우 크다. (중략)

시설 원예작물의 겨울철 온도환경 관리에 대한 연구는 난방비 절약을 위한 저온관리 한계온도 구명(Tanaka 등, 1986), 또는 근권부 온도 조절에 의한 작물의 생산성 증진 연구와 같은 실용적 측면의 연구가 많이 수행된 바 있다(Fujie와 Saidou, 1983). 그러나 시설의 온풍기 고장 또는 정전 등으로 작물이 생육한계 온도이하의 저온상태에서 장시간 경과 되었을 때 나타나는 여러가지의 생리적인 장해나 피해에 대한 연구는 매우 적은 실정이다(Reyes와 Jennings, 1994). (중략)
