This paper suggests an example guideline of a safety zone layout for the domestic LNG Truck-To-Ship (TTS) bunkering. The safety zone is one of the controlled area in LNG bunkering and its layout is required as a fundamental safety barrier. While the international standard provides a layout methodology of the safety zone, its detail application is not user-friendly and only possible with a level of the process engineering. In the domestic case, the enforcement regulations are applied for LNG bunkering but the safety zone is not properly defined for TTS operation. Considerations are made for the intuitive approach of the safety zone layout and an example guideline is suggested for application in the domestic TTS bunkering. A technical background of the guideline is described and its applicability is demonstrated with regard to the characteristics of TTS bunkering. The findings of the study are summarized in association with a practical layout of the safety zone, contributing to the safety culture in the domestic LNG bunkering.

The vibratory and rotational levels of many biological macromolecules lie in the terahertz (THz) band, which means that THz techniques can be used to identify and detect them. Moreover, since the biological activity of most biomolecules only becomes apparent in aqueous solution, we use microfluidic technology to study the biological properties of these biomolecules. THz time-domain spectroscopy was used to study the THz absorption characteristics of graphene oxide (GO) aqueous solution at different concentrations and different exposure times in fixed electric or magnetic fields. The results show that the spectral characteristics of the GO solution varied with the concentration: as the concentration increased, the THz absorption decreased. The results also show that after placing the solution in an external electric field, the absorption of THz first increased and then decreased. When the solution was placed in a magnetic field, the THz absorption increased with the increase in standing time. In this paper, these results are explained based on considerations of what is occurring at the molecular scale. The results of this study provide technical support for the further study of GO and will assist with its improved application in various fields.

In the paper of 'Natural Selection Favors AIs over Humans,' Dan Hendrycks applies principles of Darwinian evolution to forecast potential trajectories of AI development. He proposes that competitive pressures within corporate and military realms could lead to AI replacing human roles and exhibiting self-interested behaviors. However, such claims carry the risk of oversimplifying the complex issues of competition and natural selection without clear criteria for judging whether AI is selfish or altruistic, necessitating a more in-depth analysis and critique. Other studies, such as ''The Threat of AI and Our Response: The AI Charter of Ethics in South Korea,' offer diverse opinions on the natural selection of artificial intelligence, examining major threats that may arise from AI, including AI's value judgment and malicious use, and emphasizing the need for immediate discussions on social solutions. Such contemplation is not merely a technical issue but also significant from an ethical standpoint, requiring thoughtful consideration of how the development of AI harmonizes with human welfare and values. It is also essential to emphasize the importance of cooperation between artificial intelligence and humans. Hendrycks's work, while speculative, is supported by historical observations of inevitable evolution given the right conditions, and it prompts deep contemplation of these issues, setting the stage for future research focused on AI safety, regulation, and ethical considerations.

With the advances of digital scanning technology in dentistry, the interests in facial scanning in orthodontics have increased. There are many different manufacturers of facial scanners marketing to the dental practice. How do you know which one will work best for you? What questions should you be asking? We suggest a clinical guideline which may help you make an informed decision when choosing facial scanners. The characteristics of 7 facial scanners were discussed in this article. Here are some considerations for choosing a facial scanner. *Accuracy: For facial scanners to be of real value, having an appropriate camera resolution is necessary to achieve more accurate facial image representation. For orthodontic application, the scanner must create an accurate representation of an entire face. *Ease of Use: Scanner-related issues that impact their ease of use include type of light; scan type; scan time; file type generated by the scanner; unit size and foot print; and acceptance of scans by third-party providers. *Cost: Most of the expenses associated with facial scanning involve the fixed cost of purchase and maintenance. Other expenses include technical support, warranty costs, transmission fees, and supply costs. This article suggests a clinical guideline to make the right choice for facial scanner in orthodontics.

The implementation of imaging methods that enable sensitive and specific observation of anatomical structures has been a constant in the evolution of endodontic therapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables 3-dimensional (3D) spatial anatomical navigation in the 3 volumetric planes (sagittal, coronal and axial) which translates into great accuracy for the identification of endodontic pathologies/conditions. CBCT interpretation consists of 2 main components: (i) the generation of specific tasks of the image and (ii) the subsequent interpretation report. A systematic and reproducible method to review CBCT scans can improve the accuracy of the interpretation process, translating into greater precision in terms of diagnosis and planning of endodontic clinical procedures. MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase and Scopus were searched from inception to March 2023. This narrative review addresses the theoretical concepts, elements of interpretation and applications of the CBCT scan in endodontics. In addition, the contents and rationale for reporting 3D endodontic imaging are discussed.

산업 구조의 고도화와 토지이용의 다변화에 따라 토양 오염의 형태가 다양화되고 있으며 효과적인 사전 대응계획을 수립하기 위해서 토양 오염 취약성을 고려되어야한다. 국외의 경우 다양한 평가 도구가 존재하며 평가 결과를 정책적 의사 결정 과정에 적극적으로 활용되고 있지만, 국내의 경우 취약성 평가 도구가 지하수 분야에 집중되어 있으며 토양 취약성 개념 정립 및 도구와 관련된 연구가 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내외 토양 취약성 평가 도구를 조사하고 관련 연구 사례를 검토하여 토양 취약성 평가의 국내 도입시 고려해야 할 사항과 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 이를 위해 취약성 평가에 대한 개념을 정리하고, 국외에서 활용되고 있는 WIN-PST, SCI-GROW, USGS의 통계모델, CLERS, EuroPEARL 모델, 메타 모델 등 취약성 평가 도구에 대한 개요 및 특징을 조사하였으며 우선관리지역 평가 사례를 통해 국내의 연구 동향을 파악하였다. 국내외 사례를 분석한 결과, 오염의 사전관리 및 예방을 위한 도구로서 취약성 평가 방법론을 도입하고자 한다면 지역 및 오염원 특성을 고려한 특정 취약성 평가의 개념을 도입하는 것이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기술적 측면에서 국내의 토양 오염현상을 현상학적으로 평가 가능하고 시공간적으로 변화하는 환경정보를 반영하여 사용자가 광범위한 지역을 쉽고 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 도구 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 정책적 측면에서 유관기관과의 협조를 통해 다양한 환경 정보의 공유를 활성화할 수 있는 인프라 체계를 구축하는 노력이 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the indications of ankle lateral complex reconstruction using tendon graft. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed using the index, "ankle, instability, lateral ligament, reconstruction" from 1990 to present (September 30, 2015). We excluded 1) modified Brőstrom operation (MBO), 2) conventional tenodesis surgery, 3) review article, 4) technical note, and 5) articles written in another foreign language. We reviewed 24 papers through the publication events, operational method, the indications of surgery, and the specific features of the patient group. Results: There were the indications of 1) previous ligament surgery failure, 2) situation when ligament repair is impossible due to the ligament defect, 3) severe instability (preoperative talar tilt >$15^{\circ}$, anterior draw >10 mm or the difference of contralateral side talar tilt >$5^{\circ}$, anterior draw >3 mm), and 4) overweight (body mass index >$30kg/m^2$). Other considerations included 1) generalized joint laxity and 2) workers, highly-demanded or athlete highly-affected by instability. Conclusion: The ankle lateral complex reconstruction using tendon graft could be indicated in patients with the possibility of MBO failure with several considerations.
