The buildings of architectural and cultural heritage are mostly built with stone or brick wall elements, which are connected using limestone or limestone cement mortar, without a full knowledge of the mechanical properties of masonry structures. The compatibility of heritage masonry buildings with valid technical specifications and the rules for earthquake resistance implies the need for construction work such as repairs, strengthening or reconstruction. By strengthening the masonry buildings, ductility and bearing capacity are increased to a level, which, in the case of the earthquake design, allows for some damage to happen, however the structure retains sufficient usability and bearing capacity without the possibility of collapse. Comparison between traditional and modern techniques for seismic strengthening of masonry buildings is given according to their effects, benefits and disadvantages. Recent Croatian provisions provided for heritage buildings enabling deviation of technical specifications are discussed.

The genus Phyllopodopsyllus T. Scott, 1906 is nearly cosmopolitan and contains around 60 valid species, but has not been previously recorded in Korea. One of the reasons is probably the paucity of research in marginal habitats, such as marine interstitial. I describe two new species here. Numerous specimens of both sexes of P. kitazimai sp. nov. were collected from a beach near Yeongdeok, while only two females of P. busanensis sp. nov. were collected from a beach near Busan. The new species differ in numerous macro-morphological characters, such as the segmentation and armature of the antennula, armature of the mandibula, maxillula, maxilliped, and the first three swimming legs, as well as the shape of the caudal rami and the female genital field. However, they show very little difference in the number and position of cuticular organs (pores and sensilla) on all somites, which might prove these rarely used micro-characters to be useful in the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships in this group of harpacticoids. Both species have their closest relatives in Japan. Phyllopodopsyllus kitazimai is morphologically most similar to P. punctatus Kitazima, 1981, but can be distinguished by much longer third exopodal segments of the third and fourth swimming legs. Phyllopodopsyllus busanensis shares the largest number of morphological similarities with P. setouchiensis Kitazima, 1981, but can be distinguished by shorter caudal rami. A key to species is also provided.

최근 그룹 내의 여러 멤버 사이에 하나의 그룹 세션키를 공유하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서 Harn과 Lin에 의해 Shamir의 비밀 공유 방식을 이용한 방식이 제안되었고, 이를 개선한 프로토콜이 Liu, Cheng, Cao, 그리고 Jiang에 의해서 다시 제안되었다. 특히 기존 방식들에서는 특정한 일부 비밀 정보를 알고 있는 그룹 멤버에 의해 다른 비밀 값이 알려지게 되는 '내부자 공격'에 대응하기 위해 유한한 원소를 갖는 유한 정수 환(finite integer ring)상에서 연산이 이루어지도록 프로토콜을 설계하였다. 이 논문에서는 기존 방식들이 기반을 둔 유한 정수 환상의 그룹 세션키 분배 연산에서는 정당한 그룹 멤버들도 특정한 조건에서는 키 복구가 불가능한 상황이 발생하여 그룹 키 전송이 실패할 수 있음을 먼저 밝힐 것이다. 또한 이런 문제를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 프로토콜을 설계하여 제안한다.

일반적으로 희소 볼륨 데이터에 대하여 고정적인 메모리 할당 방식을 사용할 경우 상당한 메모리 공간 낭비가 발생하며, 이는 대용량의 고해상도 볼륨 데이터의 경우 더 심각한 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 불필요한 메모리 낭비를 개선하기 위하여 고정적인 메모리 공간이 아닌, 유효한 정보가 저장된 복셀 만을 효과적으로 저장하는 볼륨 데이터 표현 방법을 제안하고, 이를 기존의 정적인 메모리 할당 방법, 팔진 트리 그리고 복셀 해싱 방법과 메모리 사용량 및 연산 속도 측면에서 비교 분석한다. 특히 GPU 기반의 마칭 큐브 방법의 구현에 있어 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법과 복셀 해싱 방법을 비교 분석 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to devise an accurate machine learning model for predicting silica concentrations following the addition of impurities, through time series analysis of mining data. Methods: The mining data were preprocessed and subjected to time series analysis using the machine learning model. Through correlation analysis, valid variables were selected and meaningless variables were excluded. To reflect changes over time, dependent variables at baseline were treated as independent variables at later time points. The relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable after n point was subjected to Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The correlation (R2) was strongest after 3 hours, which was adopted as a dependent variable. According to root mean square error (RMSE) data, the proposed method was superior to the other machine learning methods. The XGboost algorithm showed the best predictive performance. Conclusion: This study is important given the current lack of machine learning studies pertaining to the domestic mining industry. In addition, using time series analysis in mining data will show further improvement. Before establishing a predictive model for the proposed method, predictions should be made using data with time series characteristics. After doing this work, it should also improve prediction accuracy in other domains.

Background: Oronasal/antral communication, loss of teeth and/or tooth-supporting bone, and facial contour deformity may occur as a consequence of maxillectomy for cancer. As a result, speaking, chewing, swallowing, and appearance are variably affected. The restoration is focused on rebuilding the oronasal wall, using either flaps (local or free) for primary closure, either prosthetic obturator. Postoperative radiotherapy surely postpones every dental procedure aimed to set fixed devices, often makes it difficult and risky, even unfeasible. Regular prosthesis, tooth-bearing obturator, and endosseous implants (in native and/or transplanted bone) are used in order to complete dental rehabilitation. Zygomatic implantology (ZI) is a valid, usually delayed, multi-staged procedure, either after having primarily closed the oronasal/antral communication or after left it untreated or amended with obturator. The present paper is an early report of a relatively new, one-stage approach for rehabilitation of patients after tumour resection, with palatal repair with loco-regional flaps and zygomatic implant insertion: supposed advantages are concentration of surgical procedures, reduced time of rehabilitation, and lowered patient discomfort. Cases presentation: We report three patients who underwent alveolo-maxillary resection for cancer and had the resulting oroantral communication directly closed with loco-regional flaps. Simultaneous zygomatic implant insertion was added, in view of granting the optimal dental rehabilitation. Conclusions: All surgical procedures were successful in terms of oroantral separation and implant survival. One patient had the fixed dental restoration just after 3 months, and the others had to receive postoperative radiotherapy; thus, rehabilitation timing was longer, as expected. We think this approach could improve the outcome in selected patients.

Purpose: According to various medical publications, it is believed that epinephrine should not be injected in fingers. However numerous articles show the successful use of local anesthetic with epinephrine in the digits. Epinephrine-mixed lidocaine solution enables to maintain a bloodless field for operation and provides long duration of local anesthesia when patient was wide awake. Methods: From May 2009 to December 2009, ten patients underwent flexor tendon reconstruction with local anesthesia using epinephrine. No tourniquet was necessary. Before operation, all patients were injected with local anesthetics using 1% lidocaine 20 mL and 0.1% epinephrine 0.1 mL. Results: There was no case of digital necrosis nor gangrene in the epinephrine injection. All 10 patients actively could move the finger through a full range of motion. All procedures were performed without sedation nor tourniquet and we could obtain a good vision of operative field and patients were comfortable. The patient make his or her fingers move through a full range of active motion before the skin is closed. Phentolamine was not required to reverse the vasoconstriction in any patients. Conclusion: The assertation that epinephrine should not be injected into the fingers is clearly no longer valid. The epinephrine injection allowed the authors to adjust flexor tendon surgery without risks associated with general anesthesia. It also enables to ensure longer anesthetic duration and bloodless operative field, and prevent post operative complications. In case of flexor tendon surgery, the use of epinephrine injection is recommended because of the advantages of local anesthesia.

캠퍼스코어는 최고학문기관인 대학교의 물리적 기능적 상징적 중심환경인 까닭에, 개교 당시의 교육이념뿐만 아니라, 변모되는 시대적 가치를 은유적으로 대변한다. 오늘날 대학은 기능측면에서는 지역사회와의 적극적인 소통을, 물리적 환경측면에서는 보행친화형 캠퍼스로의 개조를 요청받고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 보행친화환경의 측면에서 캠퍼스코어의 개념을 이해하면서 다양한 선행사례의 검토를 통해 현실적 관점에서 지방 국립대학교 캠퍼스코어의 개조전략을 제안하였다. 공공적 복합용도의 도입기회와 연계하여 차량 중심으로 왜곡되었던 공간구조를 보행친화형으로 개조하기 위한 계획적 준거들을 제안한 본 연구는 기존 캠퍼스코어의 보행친화형 동선체계로의 전략적 개편과 토지이용의 부분적 수정이 가능할 뿐만 아니라, 소기의 효과를 발휘할 수 있다는 것을 뒷받침하여준다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구의 성과는 오늘날 캠퍼스코어의 의미와 가치를 되돌아보게 하면서 유사한 정비계획에 유효한 시사점을 제공할 것이다.

Background/Objectives: Shoulder function is an important aspect of health related quality of life (QOL). Neck dissection impairment index (NDII) is a simple shoulder-specific questionnaire. This study aimed to evaluate the association between QOL and NDII in patients who underwent neck dissection to validate the Korean version of NDII. Materials & Methods: This study enrolled 74 patients with head and neck cancer who underwent neck dissection from December 2013 to April 2014. Patients completed questionnaires on QOL including the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-item Core QOL questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and NDII which was translated into Korean. Validity was evaluated by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between NDII and EORTC QLQ-C30. Results: We compared preoperative, postoperative within a week, 1st and 3rd months NDII scores. The total NDII scores were 14.7, 47.4, 33.7 and 34.3 each. Clinical variables including gender, site of primary tumor, performing revision neck dissection, radiotherapy and flap reconstruction were not significantly associated with NDII. However NDII mean score of patients who underwent unilateral neck dissection over 3 levels is most increased after operation. During all periods NDII scores were significantly associated with functioning score. Although other scores are lower correlation than function scores, global health status scores and symptom scores are also correlation with NDII. Conclusion: NDII was valid instrument and can be used not only in the clinical practice to assess shoulder dysfunction but also in the simple instrument to evaluate global QOL in Korea patients with having neck dissection.
