The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of the pleural fluid cholesterol level in separating the exudates from the transudates, and in differentiating tuberculous exudates from non-tuberculous exudates, 52 patients with pleural effusion were involved in this prospective study. By predefined criteria, 40 of these effusions were classified as exudates (Group I) and 12 as transudates (Group II). Group I was subdivided into tuberculous exudates (Group A) and non-tuberculous exudates (Group B). The followings are parameters used in separating the exudates from the transudates; pleural protein (P-PROT) 3.0 g/dl, pleural protein/serum protein ratio (P/S PORT) 0.5, pleural LDH (P-LDH) 200 IU, pleural LDH/serum LDH ratio (P/S LDH) 0.6, pleural cholesterol (P-CHOL) 50 mg/dl and pleural cholesterol/serum cholesterol ratio (P/S CHOL) 0.4. Mean values of the parameters in each group were compared, and then misclassified rate and the dignostic efficiency for each parameter were calculated. The results were as follows; 1) Mean P-CHOL ($94.98{\pm}73.86\;mg/dl$) in Group I was higher than that ($36.5{\pm}26.5\;mg/dl$) in Group II (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in mean P-CHOL between Group A and Group B. 2) Mean P/S CHOL ($0.64{\pm}0.39$) in Group I was also higher than that ($0.27{\pm}0.15$) in Group II (p<0.01), but no difference was observed in mean P/S CHOL between Group A and Group B. 3) Misclassified rates for each parameter in separating the exudates from the transudates were as follows; P-PROT 1.9%. P/S PROT 3.8%. P-CHOL 9.6%, P/S CHOL 11.5%, P/S LDH 11.5%, and P-LDH 17.3%. 4) Diagnostic efficiencies for each parameter in separating the exudates from the transudates were as follows; P-PROT 98.1%, P/S PROT 96.2%. P-CHOL 90.4%. P/S CHOL 88.5%, P/S LDH 88.5%, and P-LDH 82.7%. In conclusion, we think that the pleural fluid chloesterol level could be used as a supportive parameter in separating the exudates from the transudates, but could not be used as a parameter in differentiating tuberculous exudates from non-tuberculous exudates.

In 1986, Fabry, Mawhin and Nkashama [1] have considered periodic solutios for Lienard equation $$ (1_s) x" + f(x)x' + g(t,x) = s, $$ where s is a real parameter, f and g are continuous functions, and g is $2\pi$-periodic in t and have proved that if $$ (H) lim_{$\mid$x$\mid$\to\infty} g(t,x) = \infty uniformly in t \in [0,2\pi], $$ there exists $s_1 \in R$ such that $(1_s)$ has no $2\pi$periodic solution if $s< s_1$, and at least one $2\pi$-periodic solution if $s = s_1$, and at least two $2\pi$-periodic solutions if $s > s_1$.s_1$.

The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mimetic activities of copper complexes of a series of salicylic acid (SA) analogs were tested and compared to the activity of bovine erythrocyte SOD using ferricytochrome c reduction assay. Stability constants of copper complexes were measured potentiometrically using SCOGS2 program. In the presence of 10 g/l albumin, all the copper complexes lost their SOD mimetic activities. Multiple regression analysis was employed for the statistical comparisons between the SOD mimetic activity and their physicochemical properties. Correlation exists for the SOD mimetic activity and steric parameter $(E_s)$ and/or electronic parameter $({\Sigma}{\sigma})$ in xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XOD) system, demonstrating that E, plays a key role in SOD activity whereas ${\Sigma}{\sigma}$ influences it to a lesser extent. The protective effect of copper complexes against membrane damage was measured by counting D-glucose released frm $EG_s$. D-glucose and XOD were entrapped within $EG_s$ and acetaldehyde was used as a substrate for XOD. In this membrane model system using $EG_s$, hydrophobic parameter $({\Sigma}{\pi})$ is of most importance, producing parabolic equation while $E_s$, and ${\Sigma}{\sigma}$ appear to playa minor role in protection against D-glucose release. In summary, to design an efficient SOD mimetic, stability, steric factor, lipophilicity and redox potential should be considered.

원전의 항공기 충돌 리스크 평가에 사용되는 대표매개변수를 선정하기 위한 방법론을 개발하였다. 대상 원전은 국내의 대표적인 경수로형 원전 중 하나로 선정하여 3차원 유한요소 해석 모델을 구축하였다. 콘크리트 재료모델에는 소성손상모델이 적용되었으며, 강재는 다중선형곡선거동을 가지는 것으로 모델링하였다. 운동에너지, 전체 충격량, 최대 충격량, 최대 하중등 4종의 대표매개변수 후보군을 선정하였다. 각각의 매개변수 후보군은 모두 충돌 속도와 질량의 함수로 표현되므로, 충돌속도 50~200m/s, 항공유량 30~90%의 범위에 대하여 매개변수값을 도출하고 충돌 해석을 수행하여, 충돌 시의 구조 응답과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 모든 해석에서 항공기의 기종은 보잉767 기종으로 선정하였다. 충돌해석에는 Riera의 하중-시간 이력 함수를 이용한 해석기법을 적용하였다. 매개변수와 충돌 시 응답의 상관관계 적합성은 결정계수값을 이용하여 분석하였다. 4 종의 대표매개변수 후보군 중 최대 하중값이 가장 직관적일 뿐만 아니라 본 연구에서의 해석 케이스에서는 응답과의 상관성도 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타남에 따라, 항공기충돌 리스크 평가를 위하여 가장 적합한 매개변수라 할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

해안선에 비스듬히 입사하는 다방향 불규칙파랑은 굴절에 의해 방향 비대칭성이 발생한다. 방향 비대칭은 최대 방향분포 매개변수($s_{max}$)와 연관된 비대칭 매개변수의 항으로 표현된다. 본 연구에서는 심해에서 다양한 주파향각과 최대 방향분포 매개변수 등의 특징을 갖는 다방향 불규칙파랑에 대해 수심 변화에 따른 비대칭 매개변수와 최대 방향분포 매개변수의 변화를 계산하였다. 계산 값들은 파랑의 방항 비대칭성을 무시한 Goda and Suzuki(1975)에 의한 결과와는 다르다. 비대칭 매개변수와 최대 방향분포 매개변수의 계산을 위해 JONSWAP 스펙트럼(Hasselmamn et al., 1973)과 Lee et al.(2010)의 방향 분포 함수를 사용하였다. 계산 과정과 결과들은 일반화를 위해 심해에서의 유의파고, 첨두주기, 첨두주기에 해당하는 파장 등으로 무차원화 하였다.

Background ＆ Aims : The aim of this study was to investigate the change of dominant power with observation of gastric myoelectrical activity and its parameter linkage in electrogastrography. Methods : Electrogastrography was performed on a total of 123 subjects (113 patients with functional dyspepsia, 10 healthy controls) for 30 min in fasting state and 50 min in postprandial state. Average myoelectrical activity per frequency and accumulated electrical activity of 5 min duration in each bradygastria, normogastria, and tachygastria were measured at the moment of frequency switchover of slow wave. Assumed parameter linkages were also investigated among dominant frequency, ％ of normal regularity, and dominant power (or power ratio). Results : Average myoelectrical activity per frequency was highest in bradygastria (mean 1.10-1.47 Volt/s), next highest in normogastria (mean 0.50-0.82 Volt/s), and lowest in tachygastria (mean 0.44-0.47 Volt/s). Average accumulated myoelectrical activity was highest in normogastria (mean 114.90-126.29 Volt/ss), next highest in tachygastria (mean 71.02-90.00 Volt/ss), and lowest in bradygastria (mean 12.93-51.94 Volt/ss). Significance of parameter linkages were noted in dominant frequency (p< 0.01) and in ％ of normal regularity (p< 0.01), but not in dominant power in case of frequency shift from bradygastria to normogastria (p=0.376). Conclusion : Dominant power is not a parameter that reflects the gastric myoelectrical activity related with only gastric contraction. Bradygastric dominant power does not follow the inter-parameter linkage of electrogastrography for gastric motility assessment.

In this paper, vibration characteristics of double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is studied based upon nonlocal elastic shell theory. The significance of small scale is being perceived by developing nonlocal Love shell model. The wave propagation approach has been utilized to frame the governing equations as eigen value system. The influence of nonlocal parameter subjected to diverse end supports has been overtly analyzed. An appropriate selection of material properties and nonlocal parameter has been considered. The influence of changing mechanical parameter Poisson's ratio has been investigated in detail. The dominance of boundary conditions via nonlocal parameter is shown graphically. The results generated furnish the evidence regarding applicability of nonlocal shell model and also verified by earlier published literature.

EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access)는 무선 로컬 네트워크에서 QoS를 지원하기 위해 IEEE 802.11e 표준에서 채택한 채널 접근 방법이다. EDCA는 트래픽을 몇 개의 범주로 분류하고 각 범주마다 채널 접근 매개변수 값을 달리 갖도록 하여 서비스 차등화를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 비실시간 트래픽에 대해서는 처리량(throughput)을 최대화하면서 실시간 트래픽에 대해서는 지연 및 처리량 제약조건을 만족시키도록 EDCA 매개변수를 트래픽 환경에 동적으로 적응시키는 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해, 먼저 EDCA 매개 변수 값의 조합이 갖는 공간을 효율적으로 탐색하는 설계 단계 알고리즘을 개발한다. 그리고 이 알고리즘을 이용하여 각 예상되는 트래픽 환경에 대해 지연-처리량 이득/손실에 대한 파레토 커브 (Pareto curve)를 유도한다. 이 파레토 데이터베이스는 트래픽 환경 및 관리 정책에 따라, 최적으로 매개변수를 조절하는데 사용될 수 있다. 시뮬레이션에 따르면, 표준에서 제시된 매개변수 값을 이용하는 경우에 비해서, 제안된 방법이 실시간 트래픽의 지연 및 처리량 보장에 탁월한 성능을 보이며 비실시간 트래픽의 처리량을 평균적으로 12% 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.
