Agile development is mentioned a lot by developers these days. XP or Scrum is one of the popular development processes, and it says that unit test automation would drive an agile development successful. The success of unit test automation depends on how well to compare an execution result to its own expected result. that is why this paper focuses on the comparison part. This paper introduces how to build test codes for unit testing, and then concludes with mentioning two considerations of unit testing automation. First, test codes for void-typed methods need Mock Framework to monitor their behavior. Second, the comparison of execution results and expected results is hard to implement in case of testing void-typed methods. We check every sentences of a test path to decide if the testing is fail or pass.

Objectives: This study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of different instrumentation and irrigation techniques using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) after root canal inoculation with Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). Materials and Methods: Mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals of extracted mandibular molars were apically enlarged up to a size 25 hand K-file, then autoclaved and inoculated with E. faecalis. The samples were randomly divided into 4 main groups according to the system of instrumentation and irrigation: an XP-endo Shaper (XPS) combined with conventional irrigation (XPS/C) or an XP-endo Finisher (XPF) (XPS/XPF), and iRaCe combined with conventional irrigation (iRaCe/C) or combined with an XPF (iRaCe/XPF). A middle-third sample was taken from each group, and then the bacterial reduction was evaluated using CLSM at a depth of $50{\mu}m$ inside the dentinal tubules. The ratio of red fluorescence (dead cells) to green-and-red fluorescence (live and dead cells) represented the percentage of bacterial reduction. The data were then statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test for comparisons across the groups and the Dunn test was used for pairwise comparisons. Results: The instrumentation and irrigation techniques had a significant effect on bacterial reduction (p < 0.05). The iRaCe/XPF group showed the strongest effect, followed by the XPS/XPF and XPS/C group, while the iRaCe/C group had the weakest effect. Conclusions: Combining iRaCe with XPF improved its bacterial reduction effect, while combining XPS with XPF did not yield a significant improvement in its ability to reduce bacteria at a depth of $50{\mu}m$ in the dentinal tubules.

In a database system, the most expensive operation among relational operations is a join operation. Generally, CPU-based join operations uses parallel processing with either 1 core or 16 cores at most, which does not significantly improve the function. On the other hand, GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) allows parallel processing through thousands of processing units, greatly reducing the time required to perform join operations. Parallelization of the operation using GPGPU uses NVIDIA's CUDA SDK. In this paper, we implement parallelization of the join operation using GPGPU and compare the performances. The used join operations are Nested Loop Join (NLJ), Sort Merge Join (SMJ) and Hash Join (HJ), and GPGPU equipment uses TITAN Xp, GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1080. We measure and compare the performance of join operations based on CPU and GPGPU. We compare this performance with the performance of the previous study on the join operation based on GPGPU. The results of experiment show that the performance based on GPGPU is 6~328 times faster than the one based on CPU.

급속한 도시화와 산업화로 보수 및 유수기능이 감소하였고, 세계적인 기후변화로 국지성호우가 빈번히 발생하여 기존 우수관망시스템의 문제점이 야기되고 있다. 최근 발생하는 도시유역의 홍수 피해는 대부분이 내수에 의한 침수 피해로 이러한 피해를 감소시키기 위해서는 도시하천에 적합한 강우-유출모형을 이용하여 침수 위험 유역을 정확히 예측하여 사전 보강 및 예 경보를 수행하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근들어 잦은 침수피해가 발생한 도림천 유역을 대상으로 강우-유출모형인 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 민감도 및 미래 유출 특성변화 분석을 수행하였다. 첫 번째로, 지형자료 및 관거 자료, 2014년에 완공된 저류지 및 펌프시설 자료를 모두 적용하여 유역의 특성을 최대한 반영한 모형을 설계하고 실측유량과 모형유량을 비교하여 최적화된 모형임을 확인하였다. 두 번째로, 최적화된 모형의 매개변수를 기준으로 인자별 민감도 분석을 수행하여 현재 도림천의 유출특성을 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 미래 경향을 예측할 수 있는 인자인 강우량과 불투수율의 경향성을 반영하여 도림천 유역의 미래 유출특성(첨두유출량, 침수심, 침수면적, 홍수위)의 변화를 검토하였다. 민감도 분석결과 강우량을 20% 감소시켰음에도 최대 침수심과 침수면적이 3.772m, 침수면적이 $5.027km^2$로 여전한 내수침수가 발생하고 있어 도림천 유역이 치수로 부터 취약한 지역임을 확인하였다. 비정상성 빈도해석으로 강우를 산정하고 log형 회귀식으로 불투수율을 산정하여 도림천 유역의 미래 유출특성을 모의한 결과 2020년과 2030년의 최대침수심이 각각 4.9352m, 4.9954m로 현재의 최대 침수심(4.8093m)보다 평균 0.156m 증가하였다. 마지막으로 현재와 미래의 홍수위와 여유고를 이용하여 제방안전성 평가를 수행한 결과, 현재에도 전체구간이 안전구간으로 이루어져 있지 않으며 2030년으로 갈수록 안정단면은 평균 8.5% 감소하고 위험단면은 평균 17% 증가함을 확인하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과를 이용하여 추후 침수피해 저감을 위한 대응방안 및 효과적인 대피소, 대피경로 수립 등에 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 세계적인 기후변화로 인한 홍수의 빈도 및 규모가 커지게 되면서 최초 구조물의 설계시의 설계용량을 초과하는 국지적 집중호우가 발생하고 있다. 이는 도시방재를 위하여 기계획하였던 내수배제 시스템의 설계성능을 넘어 도시지역에 침수를 유발하게 된다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 도시의 내수배제 시스템을 개선하기 위한 우수저류조, 우수관거개선 등이 이루어지고 있지만 설치 이후 구체적인 효과분석이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수저류시설의 설치 여부에 따른 침수발생 양상을 분석하고 우수저류시설 침수저감효과를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 2차원 침수해석 모의를 실시하였고 다양한 조건에서의 모의를 위하여 2차원 침수해석 모의조건을 설정하였다. 기계획된 우수저류시설의 설계시의 임계지속기간을 기준으로 IDF Curve를 통하여 설계강우량, 확률강우량 및 방재성능목표량을 재산정하였고 Huff4분위법을 이용하여 강우분포를 시켜 XP-SWMM에 적용하였다. 또한, 유역 최종 방류구에서 기점수위 조건과 자유방류 조건을 분리하여 모의하였으며 최종적으로 우수저류시설의 설치여부에 따른 2차원 침수해석을 실시하였다. 2차원 침수모의 결과를 이용하여 월류량의 저감율과 격자별 침수심 분포 분석을 진행하였다. 월류량은 총량적인 지표를 가지고 있지만 격자별 침수심 분포 분석은 격자의 최대 침수심을 0.1m 간격으로 나누어 각 단계별 침수심 격자의 발생빈도를 산정하였다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 분석을 진행한결과 우수저류조를 설치한 후에 격자의 최대침수심이 더 낮은 침수심 단계로 이동한 현상을 확인하였다. 이는 구조물의 설치 후에도 침수가 일어난다는 양적인 면이 아닌 격자의 침수심 분포 양상을 통해 도시침수에 직접적으로 저감이 나타나 효과를 기여할 수 있다는 지표라고 판단된다.

Many of the adverse effects of solar UV exposure appear to be directly attributable to damage to epidermal DNA. In particular, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) may initiate mutagenic changes as well as induce signal transduction responses that lead to a loss of skin immune surveillance and micro-destruction of skin structure. Our approach is to reverse the DNA damage using prokaryotic DNA repair enzymes delivered into skin using specially engineered liposomes. T4 endonuclease V encapsulated in liposomes (T4N5 liposome lotion) enhanced DNA repair by shifting repair of CPD from the nucleotide excision to the base excision repair pathway. Following topical application to humans, increased repair limited UV-induction of cytokines, many of which are immunosuppressive. In a recent clinical study, topical treatment of UV-irradiated human skin with T4N5 liposome lotion reduced the suppression of the nickel sulfate contact hypersensitivity response. Similarly, the photoreactivating enzyme enhances repair by directly reversing CPDs after absorbing activating light. Here also treatment of UV-irradiated human skin with photoreactivating enzyme in liposomes and photoreactivating light restored the response to the contact allergen nickel sulfate. These findings confirm in humans the observation in mice that UV induced suppression of contact hypersensitivity is caused in part by CPDs. We have tested the ability of T4N5 liposome lotion to prevent UV-induced skin cancer in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), who have an elevated incidence of skin cancer resulting from a genetic defect in DNA repair. Daily use of the lotion for one year in a group of 20 XP patients reduced the average number of actinic keratoses by 68% and basal cell cancers by 30% compared to 9 patients in the placebo control group. Delivery of DNA repair enzymes to skin is a promising new approach to photoprotection.

기후변화의 영향으로 도시하천의 홍수피해가 증가추세이며, 여름철 돌발호우 발생으로 하천내 고립사고 피해가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 특히 중·소규모 도시하천은 홍수유출 도달시간이 매우 짧고 수위가 급격히 상승하여 돌발호우에 매우 취약하므로, 정확한 홍수발생 가능성 및 시점 예측을 통한 신속한 홍수 예·경보가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우강도, 강우시간분포, 강우지속시간 등에 따른 홍수발생여부 뿐만 아니라 홍수발생시간을 예측할 수 있는 Flooding Time Nomograph (FTN)를 개발하였다. 본 연구의 대상유역은 도림천 유역으로, FTN 개발을 위하여 도시하천의 강우-유출모의에 적합한 XP-SWMM 모형을 구축하여 활용하였다. 또한 Huff의 4분위 강우분포를 이용한 다양한 형태의 가상 강우시나리오를 설정하여 강우유출모의를 수행하였으며, 모의결과를 기반으로 강우강도와 홍수발생시간의 관계식을 산정하여 FTN을 생성하였다. 실제 호우 사상에 대한 관측 홍수발생시간과의 비교를 통해 FTN의 적용성을 평가한 결과, 상관계수 CC=0.8, NSE=0.6 이상으로 높은 정확도를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 강우발생 시 둔치수위 도달 홍수위 기준 최대 30분의 사전 대피시간 확보가 가능함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 FTN을 이용한 도시하천의 홍수 예·경보 시스템 구축의 경우, 강우정보에 따른 홍수발생여부 및 홍수발생시간을 합리적으로 판단할 수 있어, 둔치 수위 예·경보 등 보다 신속한 상황대응이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a single-file reciprocating system (WaveOne Gold, WOG) and a multi-file rotary system (ProTaper Universal Retreatment, PTUR) in removing canal filling from severely curved canals and to evaluate the possible adjunctive effects of XP-Endo Finisher (XPF), the Self-Adjusting File (SAF), and an erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser using microcomputed tomography (µCT). Materials and Methods: Sixty-six curved mandibular molars were divided into 2 groups based on the retreatment technique and then into 3 based on the supplementary method. The residual filling volumes and root canals were evaluated with µCT before and after retreatment, and after the supplementary steps. The data were statistically analyzed with the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, analysis of covariance, and factorial analysis of variance (p < 0.05). Results: PTUR and WOG showed no significant difference in removing filling materials (p > 0.05). The supplementary techniques were significantly more effective than reciprocating or rotary systems only (p < 0.01). The supplementary steps showed no significant differences in canal filling removal effectiveness (p > 0.05), but XPF showed less dentin reduction than the SAF and Er,Cr:YSGG laser (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The supplementary methods significantly decreased the volume of residual filling materials. XPF caused minimal changes in root canal volume and might be preferred for retreatment in curved root canals. Supplementary approaches after retreatment procedures may improve root canal cleanliness.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity, population structure and whole-genome selection signatures of Luxi cattle to reveal its genomic characteristics in terms of meat and carcass traits, skeletal muscle development, body size, and other traits. Methods: To further analyze the genomic characteristics of Luxi cattle, this study sequenced the whole-genome of 16 individuals from the core conservation farm in Shandong region, and collected 174 published genomes of cattle for conjoint analysis. Furthermore, three different statistics (pi, F_st, and XP-EHH) were used to detect potential positive selection signatures related to selection in Luxi cattle. Moreover, gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed to reveal the potential biological function of candidate genes harbored in selected regions. Results: The results showed that Luxi cattle had high genomic diversity and low inbreeding levels. Using three complementary methods (pi, F_st, and XP-EHH) to detect the signatures of selection in the Luxi cattle genome, there were 2,941, 2,221 and 1,304 potentially selected genes identified, respectively. Furthermore, there were 45 genes annotated in common overlapping genomic regions covered 0.723 Mb, including PLAG1 zinc finger (PLAG1), dedicator of cytokinesis 3 (DOCK3), ephrin A2 (EFNA2), DAZ associated protein 1 (DAZAP1), Ral GTPase activating protein catalytic subunit alpha 1 (RALGAPA1), mediator complex subunit 13 (MED13), and decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2 (PDSS2), most of which were enriched in pathways related to muscle growth and differentiation and immunity. Conclusion: In this study, we provided a series of genes associated with important economic traits were found in positive selection regions, and a scientific basis for the scientific conservation and genetic improvement of Luxi cattle.

This paper describes the design and development of a hovering AUV constructed at Cheju National University and analyses the dynamic performance of the vehicle using simulation programs. The main purpose of this AUV is to carry out fundamental tests in its station keeping, attitude control, and desired position tracking. Its configuration is similar to the general ROV appearance for underwater works and its dimensions are 0.75m*0.5m*0.5m. It has 4 thrusters of 450 watts for longitudinal/lateral/vertical propulsion and is equipped with a pressure sensor for measuring water depth and a magnetic compass for measuring heading angle. The navigation of the vehicle is controlled by an on-board Pentium III-class computer, which runs with the help of the Windows XP operating system. These give us an appropriate environment for developing various algorithms needed for developing and advancing Hovering AUV.
