목적 : 감각 및 운동기능에 대한 기능적 자기공명영상에서 데이터 분석 시 global scaling이 뇌 활성화 영상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 신경학적 병력이 없는 정상 성인 피검자 4명을 대상으로 하였다. 운동기능은 오른쪽 상지를 구부렸다가 폈다가를 반복하는 운동을 시행하였고 청각기능은 1 KHz 순음자극을 시행하였다. 기능적 자기공명영상은 3.0T 자기공명영상기기(GE, Milwaukee, USA)에서 BOLD-EPI 기법을 사용하였고 데이터 분석은 SPM2를 사용하였다. 데이터 분석 시 움직임 보정, 통계적 유의 수준 등은 동일하게 한 상태에서 global scaling의 시행 전후의 뇌 활성화 영상을 획득하였다. 결과 : 오른쪽 상지운동에 대한 기능영상에서 global scaling 효과를 고려하지 않은 경우와 고려한 경우의 뇌 활성화 영상의 차이는 크지 않았다 (p<0.000001). 청각기능 검사에서는 global scaling 효과를 고려한 경우에서 고려하지 않은 경우에 비해 뇌 활성화 영상이 훨씬 크게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 결론 : 국소적 BOLD 신호의 변화가 작은 기능영상 검사에서는 데이터 분석 시 global scaling이 뇌 활성화 결과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 주의가 요구된다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to establish the regular scaling checkup service and to improve oral health care on the basis of knowledge, attitude, and belief by Dental Prophylaxis Practice Lab in A university. Methods : Subjects were 324 patients who visited Dental Prophylaxis Practice Lab in A university for the preventive removal of tartar from April to June 8, 2012. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0 through the frequency analysis, chi-test, and logistics regression analysis. Results : In relation to scaling experience by age, 65.3% had experienced scaling checkup and those between 20 to 29 (34.7%) did not receive the scaling therapy. Smokers tended to have received more scaling experience than nonsmokers. Second, the number of untreated dental caries and missing teeth due to dental caries were important because the variables of oral health condition affected the scaling experience. Conclusions : It is necessary to increase the scaling experience and regular dental checkup by providing the education to improve dental clinics visit based on the knowledge and belief towards the scaling.

"Scaling" plays an important role for safety analyses in the licensing of water cooled nuclear power reactors. Accident analyses, a sub set of safety analyses, is mostly based on nuclear reactor system thermal hydraulics, and therefore based on an adequate experimental data base, and in recent licensing applications, on best estimate computer code calculations. In the field of nuclear reactor technology, only a small set of the needed experiments can be executed at a nuclear power plant; the major part of experiments, either because of economics or because of safety concerns, has to be executed at reduced scale facilities. How to address the scaling issue has been the subject of numerous investigations in the past few decades (a lot of work has been performed in the 80thies and 90thies of the last century), and is still the focus of many scientific studies. The present paper proposes a "roadmap" to scaling. Key elements are the "scaling-pyramid", related "scaling bridges" and a logical path across scaling achievements (which constitute the "scaling puzzle"). The objective is addressing the scaling issue when demonstrating the applicability of the system codes, the "key-to-scaling", in the licensing process of a nuclear power plant. The proposed "road map to scaling" aims at solving the "scaling puzzle", by introducing a unified approach to the problem.

In order to reduce enormous cost of real-scale underwater explosion experiments on ships, the mechanical response of the ships have been analyzed by combining scaled-down experiments and Hopkinson's scaling law. However, the Hopkinson's scaling law is applicable only if all variables vary in an identical ratio; for example, thickness of ship, size of explosive, and distance between the explosive and the ship should vary with same ratio. Unfortunately, it is infeasible to meet such uniform scaling requirement because of environmental conditions and limitations in manufacturing scaled model systems. For the facile application of the scaling analysis, we propose a generalized scaling law that is applicable for non-uniform scaling cases in which different parts of the experiments are scaled in different ratios compared to the real-scale experiments. In order to establish such a generalized scaling law, we conducted a parametric study based on numerical simulations, and validated it with experiments and simulations. This study confirms that the initial peak value of response variables in a real-scale experiment can be predicted even when we perform a scaled experiment composed of different scaling ratios for each experimental variable.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of preventive treatment experience on scaling fear level. Methods: A total of 259 adults who had visited the dental clinic were analyzed. The results were summarized as follows. Statistical analysis of the collected data was performed using the SPSS WIN 20.0 statistical program. The general characteristics, scaling experience, and the characteristics of the subjects were analyzed. Frequency of scaling according to general characteristics was analyzed by independent sample t-test, Scaling fears according to treatment experience were tested by t-test. Correlation analysis was performed for scaling fears according to the reliability of dental hygienist. Regression analysis was carried out to investigate factors affecting scaling fear. Results: Level of fear during scaling was higher in females (3.03) than in males (2.54) and that after scaling was scored higher in females (2.68) than in males (2.34) by general characteristics (p<0.001). The adults who were not healthy in oral health showed the highest levels of fear during (3.29) and after (3.00) scaling by oral health status (p<0.001). Adults who had brushing education experience showed lower fear level than those who did not after scaling (p<0.01) according to the experiences of preventive treatments. With respect to the correlation of trust level to the dental hygienists with the scaling fears, it showed higher in the trust level (-0.688) as lower level of scaling fear (-0.642) in the scaling (p<0.01). Confidence level of dental hygienist (-0.661), brushing education experience (-0.121), and oral health status (-0.121) were influenced upon the regression analysis. Conclusions: Oral health education and dental hygiene education are increasing. It is thought that active efforts are needed to promote and maintain oral health.

Objectives: To investigate factors related to scaling between Korean and multicultural families using data from the 18th Youth Health Behavior Survey (KYRBS), 38,320 Korean adolescents were selected as subjects. Methods: A complex sample cross-analysis was conducted on general characteristics and oral health characteristics using the IBM SPSS program. Factors related to adolescent scaling were analyzed using complex sample logistic regression analysis. Results: Compared to Korean families, adolescents from multicultural families had 0.50 times less scaling experience within 12 months. Learning achievement was 1.30 times higher in high compared to low, indicating that scaling experience was high. In terms of economic status, scaling experience was found to be high at 1.50 times in high compared to low. Non-smoking adolescents had 1.26 times higher scaling experience. It was found that adolescents who do not use dental floss and interdental brushes have 0.71 and 0.55 times less scaling experience, respectively. Conclusions: Based on the above results, there is a need to increase adolescents awareness of oral health and motivate them to manage their own oral care. There is a need to provide opportunities to participate in various oral health education programs and to deepen continuous oral health education on oral disease prevention.

Daubechies [1] discoverd compactly supported scaling functions and corresponding wavelets with high regularities. It seems that there are no known compactly supported scaling functions other than Daubechies'. In this article, we will construct new scaling functions supproted in intervals of length $\leq 3$ without using deep analysis. While one of them is Daubechies' scaling function, others are less regular than Daubechies'. Also, we will show that Daubechies' scaling function is the unique one with highest regularity.

Principal component analysis(PCA) was carried out to evaluate the water quality with the monitering data collected from 1997 to 2003 along the coastal area of Ulsan, Korea. To enhance evaluation and to complement descriptive power of traditional PCA, optimal scaling was applied to transform the original data into optimally scaled data. Cluster analysis was also applied to classify the monitering stations according to their characteristics of water quality.

본 연구에서는 이중게이트 MOSFET에서 스켈링 이론에 대한 문턱전압이하 스윙을 분석하였다. 포아송방정식의 해석학적 전위분포를 구하기 위하여 가우스 전하분포를 이용하였다. 문턱전압이하 스윙의 저하와 같은 단채널 효과를 분석하기 위하여 스켈링이론이 사용되었으며 이중게이트 MOSFET의 특성상 두 개의 게이트 효과를 포함하기 위하여 일반적인 스켈링 이론을 수정하였다. 게이트길이에 대한 스켈링인자가 일반적인 스켈링인자의 1/2일 때 문턱전압이하 스윙의 저하현상이 매우 빠르게 감소하였으며 가우스함수의 이온주입범위 및 분포편차도 문턱전압이하 스윙에 영향을 미치는 것을 알았다.
