Rapid loss in viability of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) seed is a major problem. Present effort was undertaken for developing a set pattern for assessing of viability and vigour in seed of various mother tree age of neem (Age I-06 years, Age II-15 years, Age III-25 years and Age IV->30 years old). Various viability test viz. triphenyle tetrazolium chloride test, electrical conductivity, excised embryo test, and germination test have been performed on seeds obtained from mother tree age classes. Inconsistency was observed with the TTC and EC test in germination of seed in laboratory as well as nursery. While various vigour tests viz. cold test, chemical stress test (methanol stress test), and accelerated ageing test alongwith ageing index, germination test (G%, MGT and GV) and various seedling growth parameters like seedling length (cm), number of leaves, collar diameter (cm), total biomass (g) alongwith mathematical indices i.e. vigour index, sturdiness quotient, volume index, quality index, root shoot ratio in nursery as well have been taken for study and showed better consistency. On the basis present study results of various viability and vigour test indicated that mother tree age class II performed better in comparison to others and it can be recommended for seed collection. Further it is also recommended that viability of neem seed may be assessed using various laboratory tests like excise embryo test and germination test (G%, MGT and GV) and vigour test may be taken preferably by cold germination test, chemical (methanol) stress test, accelerated ageing test in laboratory and germination alongwith various seedling growth parameters seedling length (cm), number of leaves, collar diameter (cm), total biomass (g) alongwith mathematical indices like Vigour Index, Sturdiness quotient, Volume Index, Quality index, root shoot ratio in nursery as discussed in this study.

In order to analyze the current status of trade with Korea and FTA partner countries, the Trade Intensity Index and the Market Comparative Advantage index were calculated and analyzed using panel gravity model. In the case of trade, trade intensity index has been strengthened according to each FTA enforecement, and in some cases, trade inensity has been weakened. In the case of the comparative advantage index, there was a case in which the comparative advantage was strengthened or the comparative advantage was not significantly changed according to each Chapter of HS code. This means that the Korea's FTA enforcement effect has not directly affected the increase of the trade intensity and the increase of the market comparative advantage index. The panel gravity model using the trade intensity and the comparative advantage index as the dependent variable and the trade volume between the two countries as the dependent variable was analyzed.

Left ventricular volume would be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with various heart diseases. So we measured left ventricular volume index using gated blood pool nuclear cardiac angiography which was easy to perform, non-invasive, and capable of repetitive studies. These left ventricular volume indices were compared with left ventricular volumes by quantitative cardiac cine-angiography and the results were as follows, 1. The correlation coefficient between left ventricular volume indices and left ventricular volumes was 0.829 (p<0.001). 2. The correlation coefficient between left ventricular volume indices and absolute left ventricular volumes which were obtained by measurement of cardiac output of patients. 3. There were good correlation in intraobserver and interobserver analysis.

Background: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart disease. However, the details of cardiac chamber remodeling after surgery are not well known, although this is an important issue that should be analyzed to understand long-term outcomes. Methods: Between November 2017 and January 2019, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed preoperatively, at a 1-month postoperative follow-up, and at a 1-year postoperative follow-up. Cardiac chamber volume, valve regurgitation volume, and ejection fraction were measured as functions of time. Results: Thirteen patients (10 men and 3 women) were included. The median age at surgery was 51.4 years. The preoperative median ratio of flow in the pulmonary and systemic circulation was 2.3. The preoperative mean right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic volume index (EDVi) and RV end-systolic volume index (ESVi) had significantly decreased at the 1-month postoperative follow-up (p<0.001, p=0.001, respectively). The decrease in the RVEDVi (p=0.085) and RVESVi (p=0.023) continued until the postoperative 1-year follow-up, although the rate of decrease was slower. Tricuspid valve regurgitation had also decreased at the 1-month postoperative follow-up (p=0.022), and continued to decrease at a reduced rate (p=0.129). Although the RVEDVi and RVESVi improved after ASD closure, the RV volume parameters were still larger than the left ventricular (LV) volume parameters at the 1-year follow-up (RVEDVi vs. LVEDVi: p=0.016; RVESVi vs. LVESVi: p=0.001). Conclusion: Cardiac remodeling after ASD closure is common and mainly occurs in the early postoperative period. However, complete normalization does not occur.

하악 과두의 발달과 증식은 측두하악관절 부위의 생역학적 환경의 변화에 따라 변경될 수 있다. 이 부위에 전달되는 생역학적 하중은 섭취하는 음식물의 경도를 다르게 함으로써 변화시킬 수 있다. 이번 연구의 목적은 성장 중인 쥐에서 부드러운 음식물의 섭취에 의해 저작력을 변화시키는 것이 하악 과두의 해면골의 형태를 변화시킬 수 있는지 미세전산화 단층촬영을 이용하여 분석하는 것이었다. 생후 21일 된 C57BL/6 쥐 36마리를 무작위로 두 그룹으로 나누었다. 8주 동안 대조군의 쥐들은 일반적인 딱딱한 덩어리의 사료를, 실험군의 쥐들은 덩어리의 사료를 잘게 갈은 후 물과 섞어 부드럽게 만들어 먹였다. 또한 실험군의 쥐들의 하악 절치를 일주일에 두 번씩 잘라서 짧게 만들었다. 8주 후 모든 쥐들을 희생하여 우측 하악 과두를 준비하였다. 미세전산화 단층촬영과 삼차원 영상 분석프로그램을 이용하여 하악 과두 해면골의 bone volume(BV), bone surface(BS), total volume(TV) bone volume fraction(BV/TV), surface to volume ratio(BS/BV), trabecular thickness(Tb. Th.), structure model index(SMI)와 degree of anisotropy(DA)를 측정하고 이들 값으로부터 trabecular number(Tb. N.)와 trabecular separation (Tb. Sp.)을 계산하였다 미세전산화 단층영상을 얻은 후 하악 과두의 조직 표본을 만들었다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. Bone volume fraction(BV/TV), trabecular thickness(Tb. Th.)와 trabecular number(Tb. N.)가 대조군에 비해 부드러운 음식을 먹인 실험군에서 유의하게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 2. Trabecular separation(Tb. Sp.)은 부드러운 음식을 먹인 실험군에서 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 3. Surface to volume ratio(BS/BV), structure model index(SMI), degree of anisotropy (DA)는 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 4. 조직 절편을 관찰한 결과, 부드러운 사료를 먹인 실험군에서 하악 과두의 연골층의 증식 층과 전체 두께가 상당히 감소하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 방사선 조사 용적 내 포함되는 소장의 용적 감소를 위해 복부판(Belly board, 벨리보드)과 소장변위도구(Small Bowel Displacement Device, SBDD)를 사용한 직장암 환자에서 방사선 치료 영역 내 포함되는 소장의 용적과 비만도 와의 상관성을 보고, 비만지표의 적용을 통해 SBDD의 사용지표를 삼고자 한다. 실험은 2012년 1월부터 4월까지 수술 전 혹은 수술 후 벨리보드와 SBDD를 사용해 골반부위에 방사선치료를 받은 29명의 직장암 환자를 대상으로 분석하였다. 방사선 치료는 3문 조사로 시행하였으며 1.8 Gy의 분할선량으로 중심점에 45 Gy를 조사한 계획만을 분석하였다. 환자의 키, 몸무게, 체질량지수(body mass index, BMI), 허리 엉덩이 둘레비(waist hip ratio, WHR)를 측정하여 비만도를 조사하였다. 조사되는 선량의 90%이상 들어가는 소장의 용적(high dose volume of small bowel, $HDV_{sb}$)과 33%이상 들어가는 소장의 용적(low dose volume of small bowel, $LDV_{sb}$)을 방광의 총 용적(total volume of bladder, $TV_{bladder}$) 및 비만도에 따라 비교하여 그 상관관계를 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 수술여부 및 성별 WHR은 $HDV_{sb}$, $LDV_{sb}$에 크게 미치는 영향이 없었고 $HDV_{sb}$, $LDV_{sb}$와 BMI(p=0.031/0.083), $TV_{bladder}$ (p<0.05)는 통계적으로 유의하였다. BMI가 $HDV_{sb}$와는 유의 하지만 $LDV_{sb}$와는 크게 유의하지 않았다. (p=0.031, p>0.05) BMI는 $HDV_{sb}$와 음의 상관관계(${\beta}$=-0.402)가 있었으며 $TV_{bladder}$는 $HDV_{sb}$, $LDV_{sb}$와 음의 상관관계(${\beta}$=-0.497/-0.522)가 있었다. 특히 BMI 23 미만인 경우(BMI Group2)보다 그 이상인 경우 $HDV_{sb}$에 영향을 미치며 음의 상관성(${\beta}$=-0.525)이 있었다.($LDV_{sb}$, $HDV_{sb}$와 유의확률 각각 p=0.059, p=0.027) BMI가 23 이상인 집단(BMI Group1)에서는 $TV_{bladder}$와 $HDV_{sb}$, $LDV_{sb}$가 통계학적으로 유의하였고(p<0.04) 음의 상관성을 보였다. 비만지표인 BMI가 23 이상인 과체중 및 비만군의 직장암 방사선 치료 시 벨리보드와 SBDD를 동시에 사용하는 경우 조사용적 내 포함되는 소장의 용적을 감소시키는데 더 효과적이었다. 그러므로 벨리보드를 사용하는 직장암의 방사선 치료 시 BMI 23 이상인 한국인 환자에게는 소장변위도구를 동시에 사용 할 것을 권장한다.

Background : The occurrence of atrial fibrillation after ablation of atrial flutter is clinically important. We investigated variables predicting this evolution in ablated patients without a previous atrial fibrillation history. Materials and Methods : Thirty-six patients (Male=28) who were diagnosed as atrial flutter without previous atrial fibrillation history were enrolled in this study. Group 1 (n=11) was defined as those who developed atrial fibrillation after atrial flutter ablation during 1 year follow-up. Group 2 (n=25) was defined as those who has not occurred atrial fibrillation during same follow-up term. Echocardiogram was performed to all patients. We measured left atrial size, left ventricle end diastolic and systolic dimension, ejection fraction and left atrial volume index before and after ablation of atrial flutter. The differences of each variables were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results : The preablation left ventricular ejection fraction (preLVEF) and postablation left ventricular ejection fraction (postLVEF) are $54{\pm}14%$, $56{\pm}13%$ in group 1 and $47{\pm}16%$, $52{\pm}13%$ in group 2. The differences between each two groups are statistically insignificant ($2.2{\pm}1.5$ in group 1 vs $5.4{\pm}9.8$ in group 2, p=0.53). The preablation left atrial size (preLA) and postablation left atrial size (postLA) are $40{\pm}4mm$, $41{\pm}4mm$ in group1 and $44{\pm}8mm$, $41{\pm}4mm$ in group 2. The atrial sizes of both groups were increased but, the differences of left atrial size between two groups before and after flutter ablation were statistically insignificant ($0.6{\pm}0.9mm$ in group 1 vs $-3.8{\pm}7.4mm$ in group 2, p=0.149). The left atrial volume index before flutter ablation was significantly reduced in group 1 than group 2 ($32{\pm}10mm^3/m^2$, $35{\pm}10mm^3/m^2$ in group 1 and $32{\pm}10mm^3/m^2$, $29{\pm}8mm^3/m^2$ in group 2, p<0.05). Conclusion : The difference between left atrial volume index before and after atrial flutter ablation is the robust predictor of occurrence of atrial fibrillation after atrial flutter ablation without previous atrial fibrillation.

The growth-strain method was applied to cutout optimization in laminated composite plates. Since the growth-strain method optimizes a shape by generating the bulk strain to make the distributed parameter uniform, the distributed parameter was chosen as Tsai-Hill value. In this study, of particular interest is to see whether the growth-strain method developed for shape optimization in isotropic media would work for laminated composite Plates. In volume control of the growth-strain method, it makes Tsai-Hill value at each element uniform in laminated composite plates under the predetermined volume. The shapes optimized by Tsai-Hill fracture index were compared with those of the initial shapes for the various load conditions and predetermined volumes of laminated composite plates. As a result, it was verified that volume control of the growth-strain method worked very well for cutout optimization in laminated composite plates.

The main memory DBMS (MMDBMS) efficiently supports various database applications that require high performance since it employs main memory rather than disk as a primary storage. An index manager is an essential sub-component of a DBMS used to speed up the retrieval of objects from a large volume of a database in response to a certain search condition. Previous research efforts on indexing proposed various index structures. However, they hardly dealt with the practical issues occurred in implementing an index manager on a target DBMS. In this paper, we touch these issues and present our experiences in developing the index manager. The main issues are (1) compact representation of an index entry, (2) support of variable-length keys. (3) support of multiple-attribute keys, and (4) support of duplicated keys.
