There have been few reports on extra-enteric infections by Blastocystis STs and none have been molecularly identified in samples from human reproductive organs. We report for the first time the identification of 3 different subtypes of Blastocystis (ST1-3) in vaginal and sperm samples, from patients infected with Trichomonas vaginalis. Blastocystis STs were identified by PCR-sequencing and by phylogenetic inferences using 28 vaginal swab samples and 7 sperm samples from patients trichomoniasis. Blastocystis STs were identified in 6 of 28 vaginal swabs (21.4%) and in 3 of 7 sperm samples (42.8%). In both biological samples, STs 1-3 were found; one vaginal sample showed subtype co-infection with ST1 and ST3. High genetic variation was observed in the sequences obtained and no specific clustering in the phylogenetic trees was detected. Most of the haplotypes identified were placed far from the main dispersal centers. Our finding suggested that incorrect cleaning of the genital area or a contamination by combination of anal and vaginal intercourse.

이 연구의 목적은 제7차 교육과정에 따라 편찬된 고등학교 과학 교과서와 차세대 과학 교과서를 STS적 교육내용을 중심으로 비교 분석하기 위한 것이다. STS의 내용들은 Yager의 STS 토픽과 Piel의 기준 그리고 학생들의 SATIS 활동 유형 등에 의해 분석 되었다. 연구결과, 차세대 과학 교과서는 Yager의 기준에 의한 STS 포함 비율은 20.9%로 기존 교과서의 평균인 11.3% 보다 증가한 것으로 나타났다. STS 구성요소 분석 결과 차세대 교과서의 경우 '지역사외와의 관련성'(59%), '과학의 응용성'(18.2%), '실제 문제에 대한 협동 작업'(13.6%) 순이었다. 차세대 과학 교과서는 '지역사회와의 관련성'요소가 기존 과학 교과서 보다 증가하였고 '과학과 관련된 직업에 대한 인식' 요소가 감소한 것이 큰 특징이다. '과학의 다차원성에 대한 인식', '정보의 선택 및 이용에 대한 평가' 등의 요소에 대해서는 차세대 과학 교과서는 포함되지 않은 반면에 기존 과학 교과서의 경우 낮은 비율이지만 어느 정도의 내용을 포함하는 것을 알 수 있다. Piel의 기준에 의한 STS 주제 영역에 관한 비교 분석에서 차세대교과서는 '환경의 질' 문제와 '우주개발과 국방' 문제를 다루고 있는 반면 기존 교과서의 경우 '기술발달의 영향', '천연자원' 등을 다루고 있다. SATIS 교수-학습 활동 영역에서 차세대 과학 교과서의 주된 활동은 '조사 연구', '모의실험', '자료 분석'등이며, 기존 교과서에서는 '역할 놀이', '연구고안', '모의실험'등의 활동은 거의 찾아 볼 수 없다. 따라서 차후 개발될 교과서에서는 '역할 놀이', '연구 고안', '모의실험'등의 활동이 포함되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

In the present study, process optimization for thermal-sprayed STS316 coating has been performed using $L_9(3^4)$ orthogonal array and analysis of variance (ANOVA). STS316 coatings were fabricated by flame spray process on steel substrate, and the hardness test and microstructure observation of the coatings were studied. The results of hardness test were analyzed by ANOVA. The ANOVA results showed that the spray distance had the greatest effect on hardness of the coating, on the other hands, the effects of oxygen gas flow and spray distance were ignorable. From these results, the optimal combination of the flame spray parameters could be derived, and confirmation experiment was carried out to verify these derived results. The calculated hardness of the coatings by ANOVA was found to approximately close to that of confirmation experimental result. Thus, it was considered that design of experiments using orthogonal array and ANOVA was effective for process optimization of thermal-sprayed STS316 coating.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of contact handorientation response(CHOR) during sit-to-stand(STS) in people with stroke. Methods The subjects of the study were Thirty hemiplegia participated (Rt. hemiplegia/Lt. hemiplegia: 15/15, mean age: $65.82{\pm}8.53$) in this study. The analysis of muscles activation (rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius) distribution was conducted by the EMG, and the analysis of foot pressure distribution was conducted by the resistive pressure sensor. Hemiplegic stroke patients were instructed to perform STS three times with the non-affected side hand and affected side hand on the table. Results There was a significant positive correlation between rectus femoris, tibialis anterior muscle activation and affected side hand contact during STS(p<0.05). The STS correlated with the foot pressure in the affected side hand contact(p<0.05). Conclusion AS a result, CHOR during STS is related to muscle activation and the characteristics of foot pressure. This information was observed in the affected side hand contact on the table, suggestion that rehabilitation programs should be implemented.

Thermal and mechanical characteristics in dissimilar SS400-STS304 steel weldment have been investigated by 3D thermal elastic-plastic analysis. Moreover, the influence of welding residual stresses on the mechanical behaviour of this welded joint, by applying superimposed external load (tension load) was determined. The residual stresses obtained by numerical simulation were compared with the experimentally measured results. The FE results were in good agreement with the measured values. The mechanical test (hardness, tensile test) and metallurgical analysis was carried out to ensure the weld integrity. Hence, possibility of applying SS400-STS304 dissimilar steels in industries has been established.

In order to examine the effect of humidity on hydrogen embrittlement of STS 444 weld zone for boiler with dry and wet welding conditions, this paper was carried out the accelerated hydrogen osmosis test and the electrochemical Tafel polarization test. In 0.5M $H_2SO_4$ + 0.01M $As_20_3$ solution, this test is added to load of $1400kg/cm^2$ together with hydrogen osmosis by current of $50 {mA/cm^2}$ for 60 min.. The electrochemical Tafel polarization test was carried out in 0.5M $H_2SO_4$ + 0.01M $As_20_3$ solution. Therefore, the effect of humidity on hydrogen embrittlement of STS 444 was considered. The main results are as following: On the basis of hydrogen embrittlement mechanism, that is, integrated electrochemical polarization characteristics with the established mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement, the reduction rate of corrosion current density of weld zone in the wet weld condition is larger than in the dry condition. We can nondestructively predict the degree of hydrogen embrittlement of STS 444 weld zone for boiler through the reduction rate of electrochemical corrosion current density.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the welding distortion of the circular type lap joint in STS304L of 0.7mm thickness by using FEA. In order to do it, a heat input model for GTA welding process with non-consumable electrode was established through comparing the molten pool shapes and temperature distributions obtained by both FEA and experiment. With the heat input model, the welding distortion of the circular type lap joint was evaluated by 3-D FEA. From FEA results, it was found that 3-D FEA with proper heat input model can be used for the evaluation of the excessive distortion of the circular type lap joint of STS304L thin plate. In addition, the root cause of the excessive distortion in the weld was also identified as the excessive compressive residual stress in the tangential direction of the weld.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of three different pelvic tilts on sit-to-stand ativities and to suggest a new therapeutic approach for movement reeducation in patients who have difficulty with sit-to-stand activities. The three different pelvic tilts were: (1) comfortable pelvic tilt sit-to-stand (CPT STS), (2) posterior pelvic tilt sit-to-stand (PPT STS) and (3) anterior pelvic tilt sit-to-stand (APT STS). To analyze the kinematic component of STS, a motion analysis system (Zebris) was applied to the ankle, knee, hip joint, and thigh-off area. Also, to determine the onset time of muscle contraction, surface electrodes were placed to the rectus femoris muscle (RF), the vastus lateralis muscle (VL), the biceps femoris muscle (BF), the tibialis anterior muscle (TA), the gastrocnemius muscle (GCM), and the soleus muscle (SOL). One-way repeated ANOVA was used for the statistical analysis. First, significant differences were found in kinematic variables for the hip, knee, ankle joint, and thigh-off among the three activities. Second, there was significant difference in muscle activation pattern in TA. VL. and BF among three activities. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest the following evaluative and therapeutic approach for STS activity: (1) Changes in knee and ankle joints should be prioritized and recruitment order differences in VL and RF can be generated to accomplish abnormal STS activity. (2) APT STS can be introduced for movement efficiency and functional advantage when abnormal STS is treated.

STS 630에 이온질화를 통한 기계적 특성 및 세포독성을 고찰하여 의료기구용으로 활용중인 STS 420 소재의 대체 가능성을 융합적으로 고찰하고자 하였다. STS 630 합금을 $480^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 시효처리 후 온도, 시간, 압력, 질소투입량의 변화를 통하여 이온질화 최적조건을 선정하고, 미세조직, 경도, 인장강도 등 기계적 특성의 변화와 섬유아세포(IGF cell)를 이용한 MTT 세포독성 시험을 수행하였다. STS 630의 경도는 시험결과 $400^{\circ}C$에서 질화시간 3시간 이상일 때 시간에 따라 증가하며, 질소가스 투입량에 비례하여 질화층의 두께와 표면경도가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. STS 630의 인장강도는 시효처리와 이온질화에 의해 34%의 향상이 되었으며, 의료기구로서의 적합성을 확인하기 위하여 섬유아세포(IGF cell)를 이용한 MTT 세포독성 시험의 경우에는 대조군(STS 420)에서만 세포 독성이 관찰되고, STS 630의 경우에는 세포독성이 나타나지 않아 의료기구로서의 적합성은 있는 것으로 판단된다.
