A ultra low frequency (ULF) wave, Pi2, has been reported to occur during periods of extremely quiet magnetospheric and solar wind conditions. And no statistical study on the Pi2 has been performed during extremely quiet conditions, using satellite observations to the author's knowledge. Also Pi2 pulsations in the space fluxgate magnetometers near perigee failed to attract scientist's attention previously. In this paper, Pi2 pulsations detected by the Van Allen probe satellites (VAP-A & VAP-B) were investigated statistically. During the period from October 2012 to December 2014, ninety six Pi2 events were identified using VAP when Kp = 0 while using Kakioka (KAK, L = 1.23) as a reference ground station. Seventy five events had high coherence between VAP-Bz and H components at KAK station. As a result, it was found that 77 % of the events had power spectra between 5 and 12 mHz, which differs from the regular Pi2 band range of from 6.7 to 25 mHz. In addition, it was shown that it is possible to observe Pi2 pulsations from space fluxgate magnetometers near perigee. Twenty two clean Pi2 pulsations were found where L < 4 and four examples of Pi2 oscillations at different L shells are presented in this paper.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 사용되는 센서 노드는 배터리, 메모리 등의 제한된 자원을 가지고 있기 때문에 이를 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 라우팅 프로토콜이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 싱크 노드와 센서 노드 간에 최단 전송 경로로 데이터를 전송할 수 있도록 보장하는 VAP(Virtual Address Protocol)를 제안한다. VAP는 각 노드에 이웃노드와 연관된 가상 주소와 보조 주소를 할당하고, 목적지 노드의 주소와 이웃 노드의 주소를 비교하여 최단 전송 경로를 찾아 데이터를 전송한다. 또한, 네트워크 토폴로지에서 노드가 삭제되거나 추가된 경우 재할당 알고리즘을 사용하여 노드에 주소를 할당한다. VAP를 기존의 라우팅 프로토콜과 비교한 결과, 노드간의 주소가 중복되지 않아 전송 경로 및 메모리 자원의 사용이 최소화되고, 최적의 전송 경로를 이용하여 데이터를 전송하므로 데이터의 전송 지연 시간이 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

오토클레이브 (Autoclave) 성형 공정은 항공산업분야의 복합재 부품 제작에 있어서 매우 안정적이고 중요한 제조방법으로서 자리매김 해왔었지만 오토클레이브가 가진 많은 장점과 함께 단점 또는 제약 사항들을 보여주고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 다양한 탈 오토클레이브 (OoA, Out-of-Autoclave) 공정들이 연구 개발되고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 탈 오토클레이브 공정 중 하나로서 많은 관심을 받고 있는 액상성형공정 (Liquid Composite Molding)을 사용하여 시편들을 제작하고 이를 오토클레이브 공정으로 제작된 시편과 실험적으로 비교평가하였다. 액상성형공정 중 DB (Double Bagging), CAPRI (Controlled Atmospheric Pressure Resin Infusion) 및 VAP (Vacuum Assisted Process) 공정을 사용하여 시편 제작을 수행하고 내부 기공 함유량, 두께, 유리전이온도, 층간전단강도 및 굽힘강도 시험 평가를 통하여 각 제작 공정에 따른 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 전체적으로 오토클레이브 성형 시편이 우수한 두께 균일도, 낮은 기공 함유량 및 양호한 기계적 강도 특성을 보였으며, 액상성형공정 중에서는 CAPRI 성형 시편이 DB 및 VAP 성형 시편에 비하여 상대적으로 우수한 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

근지구 우주환경 예측을 위해서는 태양의 주기, 흑점, 그리고 코로나의 방출과 함께 Van Allen Belt에 붙잡힌 고에너지 입자의 상태 변화가 우주 환경의 예보를 위한 중요 요소가 된다. 이런 고에너지 입자를 측정하기 위해서는 Van Allen Belt를 통과하는 VAP 위성의 데이터를 살펴보는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 한국천문연구원에서 APL과 공동으로 VAP 위성의 실시간 데이터를 송수신하는 시스템을 구축하고, 그 실시간 데이터를 우주환경감시실에서 표출하여 Van Allen Belt의 변화를 바로 알아보는 과정을 기술 하였다. 이를 통해 데이터의 경향성을 바로 파악하여 특정 이벤트의 발생을 알아 낼 수 있을 뿐만아니라 과거의 데이터를 손쉽게 찾아볼 수 있었다. 별도의 프로그램을 개발하여 데이터의 표출 비교를 가능하게 함으로써 다른 위성의 데이터나 태양 이미지를 보지 않아도 자체 비교를 통해 이벤트의 발생을 찾아 볼 수 있게 되었다.

A graph is k-cyclable if given k vertices there is a cycle that contains the k vertices. Sallee showed that every finite 3-connected planar graph is 5-cyclable. In this paper, by characterizing the circuit graphs and investigating the structure of LV-graphs, we extend his result to 3-connected infinite locally finite VAP-free plane graphs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a closed endotracheal suction system(CES) on oxygen saturation, ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP), and nursing efficacy in mechanically ventilated patients. Method: This study was conducted in the intensive care unit of a University Hospital in Gwangju City. Data was collected from July to October, 2003. Seventy mechanically ventilated patients were randomly divided into two groups; 32 for CES and 38 for open endotracheal suction system(OES) protocol. Twenty one nurses were also involved to examine the nurses' attitude of usefulness about CES. Result: $SaO_2$ was significantly different between CES and OES. The incidence of VAP in CES was lower than that of OES. Nursing efficacy was related to time, cost, and usefulness of the suction system. Time of suctioning in CES was shorter than that of OES. CES also contributed significantly to lower the cost of treatment than OES. The usefulness score of CES increased after 6 months of use. Conclusion: CES prevented VAP, was cost effective, and a safe suctioning system. CES can be used with patients with sensitivity to hypoxygenation and with a high risk of VAP.

Aeromonas salmonicida is an important fish pathogen commonly associated with furunculosis in salmonids. Typical A. salmonicida strains have the surface virulence A-layer protein, a major virulence determinant encoded by the vapA gene. In this study, 880 chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta were collected from the east coast of Korea during 2006-2011, including 560 wild adults and 320 artificially hatched fry pools, and the presence of typical A. salmonicida was examined by PCR using the typical A. salmonicida-specific vapA gene primers. The results demonstrated that 34.5% of the samples (304/880 samples) were PCR positive, implying that a typical A. salmonicida infection is highly prevalent among chum salmon in Korea. Twenty typical A. salmonicida isolates were recovered based on their brown pigmentation on Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA) plates, which indicates the existence of the A-layer protein. Further biochemical analyses with the four randomly selected typical A. salmonicida isolates revealed some variations in their amino acid decarboxylation and carbohydrate fermentation activity. A phylogenetic analysis based on the entire vapA gene sequence suggested that the A. salmonicida isolates from chum salmon were clustered with those isolated from Atlantic salmon in Europe. Further study is needed to resolve such an interesting relationship in detail.

Male factor infertility or sub-fertility contributed half of all cases of infertility while the semen abnormality is the current topic of argument. Conventional analysis of semen showed poor correlation with fertility. Therefore, evaluation of current semen analysis method is necessary to improve standards of semen assessment. The goal of this study was to investigate that correlation between motion kinematic before and after capacitation and litter size in porcine. Sperm motility and kinematics were measure by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). The motility of spermatozoa was positively correlated with curvilinear velocity (VCL), average path velocity (VAP), and mean amplitude of head lateral displacement (ALH) (p<0.05). Where as VCL positively correlated with VSL, VAP and ALH (p<0.01). Straight-line velocity (VSL) was positively correlated with VAP and ALH (p<0.01). VAP was significantly positively correlated with ALH (p<0.01). Also, we found significant positive correlation among variation of VSL, VAP and ALH (p<0.05). No motility and kinematic parameter are correlated with litter size. However, litter size was significantly correlated with breed (p<0.05). Our results suggested that analysis of sperm motility and kinematics using CASA is questionable for prediction of litter size. However, it has some practical importance to evaluate semen commercially.

Background : This study aimed at identifying the effect of the standardized protocol on lowering the incidence of the ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP). Methods : The standard protocol focusing on decreasing VAP was made and applied at 5 ICUs (Medical ICU, surgical ICU, Respiratory ICU, Neonatal ICU, Pediatric ICU) in a university affiliated tertiary hospital, from April 1, 2000 to Oct 31, 2000. The protocol involved 3 parts : hand washing, the suctioning method and ventilator circuit management. All the nursing personnel received intensive education which was consisted of lecture, video film and demonstration. 176 nurses reported the performance of handwashing pre and post intervention. And randomly selected 15 nurses were observed by charge nurse and the handwashing practice was analyzed pre and post intervention. The incidence of VAP was compared with the former year incidence. Results : The self reported frequency of hand washing increased. In the direct observation of handwashing, the frequency, time, thoroughness of hand washing during 8 hours day duty was found to be improved. The frequency was increased from 1.1 time to 4.1 times; the time was improved from 1.7 seconds to 5.7 seconds and the thoroughness of the washing practice was from 0.2 times to 3.0 times respectively (p<0.001). The incidence of VAP decreased from at a rate of 15.63 number of case per 1,000 ventilator-day (April 1~August 31, 1999) to 7.23 number of case per 1,000 ventilator-days(April 1~Oct 31, 2000)(P<0.001). Conclusion : We developed the protocols which included hand washing, the suctioning method, and ventilator circuit management. Through the implementation of the protocol, the performance of hand washing improved and the VAP incidence rate in ICU was decreased.
