Continuous efforts are being made to improve the efficiency of Si solar cells, which is the prevailing technology at this time. As opposed to the standard front-lit solar cell design, the back-lit design suffers no shading loss because all the metal electrodes are placed on one side close to the pn junction, which is referred to as the front side, and the incoming light enters the denuded back side. In this study, a systematic comparison between the two designs was conducted by means of computer simulation. Medici, a two-dimensional semiconductor device simulation tool, was utilized for this purpose. The $0.6{\mu}m$ wavelength, the peak value for the AM-1.5 illumination, was chosen for the incident photons, and the minority-carrier recombination lifetime (${\tau}$), a key indicator of the Si substrate quality, was the main variable in the simulation on a p-type $150{\mu}m$ thick Si substrate. Qualitatively, minority-carrier recombination affected the short circuit current (Isc) but not the opencircuit voltage (Voc). The latter was most affected by series resistance associated with the electrode locations. Quantitatively, when ${\tau}{\leq}500{\mu}s$, the simulation yielded the solar cell power outputs of $20.7mW{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ and $18.6mW{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, respectively, for the front-lit and back-lit cells, a reasonable 10 % difference. However, when ${\tau}$ < $500{\mu}s$, the difference was 20 % or more, making the back-lit design less than competitive. We concluded that the back-lit design, despite its inherent benefits, is not suitable for a broad range of Si solar cells but may only be applicable in the high-end cells where float-zone (FZ) or magnetic Czochralski (MCZ) Si crystals of the highest quality are used as the substrate.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Chuna therapy for Sciatica. We searched the following 16 online databases without a language restriction (Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, CINAHL, Ovid, Kmbase, RISS, NDSL, OASIS, KISS, KNAL, KTKP, DBpia, CNKI, Wangfang, J-stage) to find randomized controlled clinical trials that used Chuna therapy for Sciatica. The methodological quality of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and meta-analysis were performed. Among 496 articles that were searched, 15 RCTs were finally selected for systematic review. 14 studies showed that Chuna therapy has positive effect on sciatica. Two studies noted that there were side effects, and the difference between the intervention group and the control group was statistically insignificant. One study noted no side effects and the rest of the study, there was no mention of side effects. Meta-analysis showed positive results for Chuna single therapy in terms of efficiency rate compared to painkiller, herb medicine excepting acupuncture. When comparing Chuna therapy plus acupuncture and acupuncture, Chuna therapy plus acupuncture had a more positive result than acupuncture in terms of efficiency rate. Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB)evaluation method, most of the studies's selection, performance, detection and reporting bias were unclear. The studies showed that Chuna therapy can significantly effective on sciatica. However, most of the studies's Risk of Bias included in the analysis were not low enough. In the future, to prove the level of evidence of Chuna therapy, more high-quality studies will be needed.

센서네트워크와 같은 자원한정적인 상황에서의 비디오 부호화가 중요해짐에 따라 경량화 비디오 부호화 문제의 솔루션으로 분산비디오 부호화 기술(DVC: Distributed Video Coding)이 폭넓게 연구되고 있다. 이의 대표적인 기술인 Wyner-Ziv 부호화 기술은, 복호화기에서 영상간 유사도를 이용하여 부호화하는 현재 프레임에 대한 보조정보를 생성하고, 발생하는 잡음을 채널코드를 이용하여 제거함으로써 영상을 복원한다. 따라서 복호화기에서 보조정보를 정교하게 만들수록, 즉 제거되어야 할 잡음이 적게 생성될수록 전체적인 시스템의 부호화 효율이 좋아진다. 하지만 실제로 복호화기가 부호화하는 현재 프레임에 대한 정보 없이 정확도 높은 보조정보를 만드는 것은 상당히 어려운 일이므로, 복호되는 현재 프레임의 정보 및 그 신뢰도에 기반하여 점진적으로 보조 정보를 향상시키는 방법이 개발되었다. 하지만 복호결과를 이용하여 보조정보를 향상시키기 위해서는 복호결과 정보의 에러율에 못지않게 복호결과로부터 유효한 정보의 양 또한 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 변환영역의 Wyner-Ziv 부호화 기술에서 점진적으로 복호되는 현재 프레임에 대한 정보의 에러율 및 유효한 정보 양을 고려한 신뢰도에 기반하여 점진적으로 보조정보를 향상시키는 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과는 제안 방법이 점진적 보조정보 향상방법을 사용하지 않는 이전 변환영역 Wyner-Ziv 부호화 방법에 비해 최대 약 1.7 dB에 이르는 성능향상이 있음을 보였다.

The delivery load data obtained from Nakdong river basin are used for developing the model estimating the daily delivery load on the main side streams of Nakdong River. The developed model assesses the daily contamination loads of the main thirteen side streams that contribute to the main stream of Nakdong river. It is developed that the model using the simplified equation that can estimate the daily delivery loads on the side main streams of Nakdong river for a period of having no data of the water quality and flow. The developed model for estimating the daily delivery loads from the main side streams in Nakdong river basin on each item such as BOD, TN, and TP is expressed as Daily delivery load ($\frac{kg}{day}$) = Production load $(\frac{kg}{day}){\times}(1-{\alpha}){\times}(\frac{daily\;runoff}{average\;runoff\;per\;year}){\gamma}$. The estimated values obtained by using the model are almost fit to the calculated values (real data) that have been acquired from the thirteen main side streams in Nakdong river basin. The correlation coefficient values, R, that indicate the correlation between the estimated and the calculated show over 0.7 that mean the estimated values from the used model are adapted to the real data except TN values of Nam-river, Hwang-river, Gam-river, We-river. Especially, the correlation of TP values between the estimated and the calculated implies quite a creditable data to use.

Background: Osteoradionecrosis is the most dreadful complication after head and neck irradiation. Orocutaneous fistula makes patients difficult to eat food. Fibular free flap is the choice of the flap for mandibular reconstruction. Osteocutaneous flap can reconstruct both hard and soft tissues simultaneously. This study was to investigate the success rate and results of the free fibular flap for osteoradionecrosis of the mandible and which side of the flap should be harvested for better reconstruction. Methods: A total of eight consecutive patients who underwent fibula reconstruction due to jaw necrosis from March 2008 to December 2015 were included in this study. Patients were classified according to stages, primary sites, radiation dose, survival, and quality of life. Results: Five male and three female patients underwent operation. The mean age of the patients was 60.1 years old. Two male patients died of recurred disease of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The mean dose of radiation was 70.5 Gy. All fibular free flaps were survived. Five patients could eat normal diet after operation; however, three patients could eat only soft diet due to loss of teeth. Five patients reported no change of speech after operation, two reported worse speech ability, and one patient reported improved speech after operation. The ipsilateral side of the fibular flap was used when intraoral soft tissue defect with proximal side of the vascular pedicle is required. The contralateral side of the fibular flap was used when extraoral skin defect with proximal side of the vascular pedicle is required. Conclusions: Osteonecrosis of the jaw is hard to treat because of poor healing process and lack of vascularity. Free fibular flap is the choice of the surgery for jaw bone reconstruction and soft tissue fistula repair. The design and selection of the right or left fibular is dependent on the available vascular pedicle and soft tissue defect sites.

In mold machining, there are many concave machining regions where chatter and tool deflection occur since MRR(material removal rate) increases as curvature increases even though cutting speed and depth of cut are constant. Boolean operation between stock and tool model is widely used to compute MRR in NC milling simulation. In finish cutting, the side step is reduced to about 0.3mm and tool path length is sometimes over loom, so Boolean operation takes long computation time and includes much error if the resolution of stock and tool model is larger than the side step. In this paper, curvature of CL (cutter location) surface and side step of tool path is used to compute the feedrate for constant MRR machining. The data structure of CL surface is Z-map generated from NC tool path. The algorithm to get local curvature from discrete data was developed and applied to compute local curvature of CL surface. The side step of tool path was computed by point density map which includes cutter location point density at each grid element. The feedrate computed from curvature and side step is inserted to new tool path to regulate MRR. The resultants were applied to feedrate optimization system which generates new tool path with feedrate from NC codes for finish cutting. The system was applied to the machining of speaker and cellular phone mold. The finishing time was reduced to 12.6%, tool wear was reduced from 2mm to 1.1mm and chatter marks and over cut on corner were reduced, compared to the machining by constant feedrate. The machining time was shorter to 17% and surface quality and tool was also better than the conventional federate regulation using curvature of the tool path.

본 논문에서는 새로운 사이드 매치 왜곡 함수를 이용한 적응 FSVQ(Finite State Vector Quantization)방법을 제안한다. 기존의 사이드 매치 왜곡 함수는 블럭 경계 사이의 휘도 천이를 부드럽게 해주고 블럭간의 상관 관계가 높은 평탄 영역에서는 적절한 상태 부호책을 작성할 수 있으나 블럭간의 상관 관계가 낮은 윤곽선 영역에서는 적절한 상태 부호책을 작성할 수 없다. 본 논문에서 제안한 왜곡 함수는 기존의 사이드 매치 왜곡 함수에 영상의 특징을 나타내줄 수 있는 분산 값을 가중치로 사용하여 기존의 사이드 매치 왜곡 함수보다 적절한 상태 부호책을 작성할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 상태를 잘못 예측하였을 경우 이를 정정한 후, 처리하게 함으로써 만족할만한 영상의 질을 얻을 수 있도록 한다.

By computer simulation, the pattern of magnetic field distribution on the Nb-foil of a rotating flux type superconducting power supply has been calculated. Using the results, the current pumping rate has been calculated and compared with the results obtained by the experiment. The experiment has been executed with small-size flux-rump in the environment of LN2 and LHe in order to compare the pattern of magnetic filed in the superconducting state and in the normal state. Five hall-sensor was located on the center, right side, left-side, upper side, lower side of the Nb-foil in order to obtain more accurate pattern of the magnetic field generated by rotating pole. In the simulation, the effects of the excitation-magnet and the iron core located at the inner-side and circumference of the magnet have been considered. By comparing the data from the experiment and the results from the simulation, the size of normal spot estimated. At the same time, by calculating the linkage flux, the current-pumping-rate has been obtained. Consequently, the results obtained from experiment and simulation coincided as expected.

Synthetic fiber materials were developed due the desire of consumers for high-quality, high-performance and comfort. A high functionality of synthetic fiber can be obtained through surface treatment that can improve hydrophilic properties, color depth after dyeing and adhesion properties. These advantages create added-value. Hydrophobic properties are an important feature to create added-value (such as hydrophilic properties). One side processing is a method of imparting to contrary function on the front and rear side. In this study, fluorine-coated Nylon/PU blended fabric was treated on only one side with a low-temperature plasma treatment; subsequently, the contact angles decreased by increasing the time and intensity of the plasma treatment. The contact angle of the untreated surface and the treated surface was different. It a showed a difference in the properties of both surfaces. Tensile strength and stiffness decreased by increasing the time and intensity of the plasma treatment. However, plasma treatment did not significantly change the tensile strength and stiffness on both surfaces of the fabric. SEM photographs showed the surface of fluorine-coated fabric and the etching surface by using plasma treatment on the fabric. Plasma treatment was confirmed not to affect the physical properties of the fabric.
