Supernova (SN) cosmology is based on the assumption that the width-luminosity relation (WLR) in the type Ia SN luminosity standardization would not vary with progenitor age. Unlike this expectation, recent age datings of stellar populations in host galaxies have shown significant correlations between progenitor age and Hubble residual (HR). It was not clear, however, how this correlation arises from the SN luminosity standardization process, and how this would impact the cosmological result. Here we show that this correlation originates from a strong progenitor age dependence of the WLR and color-luminosity relation (CLR), in the sense that SNe from younger progenitors are fainter each at given light-curve parameters x1 and c. This is reminiscent of Baade's discovery of two Cepheid period-luminosity relations, and, as such, causes a serious systematic bias with redshift in SN cosmology. We illustrate that the differences between the high-z and low-z SNe in the WLR and CLR, and in HR after the standardization, are fully comparable to those between the correspondingly young and old SNe at intermediate redshift, indicating that the observed dimming of SNe with redshift is most likely an artifact of over-correction in the luminosity standardization. When this systematic bias with redshift is properly taken into account, there is no evidence left for an accelerating universe, and the SN data now support a decelerating cosmic expansion. Since the SN cosmology has long been considered as the most direct evidence for an accelerating universe with dark energy, this finding poses a serious question to one of the cornerstones of the concordance model.

본 연구의 목적은 기상 레이더의 수문학적 활용성을 높이고자 최적의 레이더 강우를 추정하기 위해 관악산 레이더 자료를 대상으로 POD 분석기법을 활용하여 지형클러터 및 빔 차폐영역 등을 제거하고 Marshall-Palmer의 Z-R 관계식으로 레이더 강우를 추정한 결과 강우계 관측강우와 비교하여 시$\cdot$공간적으로 과소 모의하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 강우계 관측강우와의 실시간 보정기법을 소양강 유역을 대상으로 적용한 결과 평균 G/R 값은 $0.95\~1.32$로 적정분포를 보이고 평균편차는 $9\~28\%$ 범위로 감소되어 불확실성 또한 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 편차가 보정된 최적 레이더 추정강우로 소양강 유역평균 강우량을 산정한 결과 관측강우와 비교하여 매우 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 실시간 편차보정 기법은 수문학적 유역평균 강우량 산정시 다소 과소추정되는 레이더 강우정보를 정확하게 보정할 수 있다는 측면에서 그 적용성이 우수한 것으로 판단된다.

최근 기후변화로 인하여 발생하는 기상재해 및 위험기상 현상의 대비를 위하여 조밀한 시공간적 해상도를 갖는 레이더 강우가 활용되고 있지만 널리 사용되는 Marshall-Palmer의 Z-R 관계식으로 추정된 레이더 강우는 과소추정의 문제점이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 분위회귀 분석기법을 통한 레이더 강우자료 편의보정 기법과 Copula 함수를 연계한 강우자료 확충기법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모형을 통하여 편의가 보정된 시계열 레이더 강우자료 효율을 통계적으로 분석한 결과 우수한 모형성능을 확인하였으며 Copula 기법을 이용하여 지상강우 및 레이더 강우자료를 확충한 결과 기존의 강우특성을 현실적으로 재현하는 것을 확인하였다. Copula 기법을 통한 강우자료 확충기법은 레이더 강우의 오차분포를 평가하는데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives : Burst fracture of the lower lumbar spine(L3-L5) is rare and has some different features compare to that of thoracolumbar junction. Lower lumbar spine is flexible segments located deeply, and has physiologic lordosis. All of these contribute to making surgical approach difficult. Generally, lower lumbar burst fracture is managed either anteriorly or posteriorly with various fixation and fusion methods. But there is no general guideline or consensus regarding the proper approach for such lesion. We have tried to find out the influencing factors for selecting the surgical approach through the analysis of lower lumbar burst fractures treated for last 4 years(1994.3-1998.3). Method : This study includes 15 patients(male : 10, female : 5, age range 20-59 years with mean age of 36.7 years, L3 : 8 cases, L4 : 5 cases, L5 : 2 cases). Patients were classified into anterior(AO) and posterior operated(PO) groups. We investigated clinical findings, injured column, operation methods, and changes in follow-up radiologic study (kyphotic angle) to determine the considerable factors in selecting the surgical approaches. Results : There were 5 AO and 10 PO patients. Anterior operation were performed with AIF with Kaneda or Z-plate and posterior operation were done with pedicle screw fixation with PLIF with cages or posterolateral fusion. Canal compression was 46.6% in AO and 38.8% in PO. The degree of kyphotic angle correction were 10.7 degree(AO) and 8.5 degree(PO), respectively. There was no statistical difference between anterior and posterior operation group. All patients showed good surgical outcome without complications. Conclusion : Anterior operation provided good in kyphotic angle correction and firm anterior strut graft, but it difficulty arose in accessing the lesions below L4 vertebra. While posterior approach showed less correction of kyphotic angle, it required less time and provided better results for accompanied adjacent lesion and pathology such as epidural hematoma. The level of injury, canal compression, biomechanics, multiplicity, and pathology are considered to be important factors in selection of the surgical approach.

한국의 발초식품 중 가장 많이 섭취하고 있는 김치 중에서 배추김치를 각 지방에서 15개, 시중에서 판매 되고 있는 5개를 수집하여 김치의 특성을 고려하여 ethyl carbamate의 부분 정제를 시도하였다. 단계별 효율을 검색하면서 에틸아세테이트로 추출하여 불용성 고분자 물질과 수용성 물질을 제거하고, $C_{18}$ 수지로 소수성 색소를 제거한 후 알루미나, Florisil을 순차적으로 통과시켜서 수분과 비극성 물질을 제거하는 부분 정제법을 정립하였다. 가스 크로마토그래프 상에 분리된 표준 ethyl carbamate 피크와 같은 시간에 검출된 김치 추출액의 피크의 질량 분석 스펙트럼을 비교한 결과, 분자 이온 m/z 89와 m/z 74.62 토막 이온이 공통적으로 나타났다. 선택 이온 모드로 감도와 선택성이 가장 좋은 Mxlafferty 토막 이온 m/z 62에서 정량한 결과 ethyl carbamate의 범위는 검출 한계 농도 이하부터 4.6 ppb까지 분포하였으며, 김치의 숙성이 진행될수록 ethyl carbamate 농도는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이 양은 다른 식이는 고려하지 dskg고 김치에서만 하루에 섭취하는 ethyl carbamate 양으로 추정하였을 때, 사람에게 실질적으로 안전하다고 보고된 양 정도의 수준에 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Qualified ground control points (GCPs) are required to construct a digital elevation model (DEM) from a pushbroom stereo pair. An inverse geolocation algorithm for extracting GCPs from ERS SAR data and the SRTM DEM was recently developed. However, not all GCPs established by this method are accurate enough for direct application to the geometric correction of pushbroom images such as SPOT, IRS, etc, and thus a method for selecting and removing inaccurate points from the sets of GCPs is needed. In this study, we propose a method for evaluating GCP accuracy and winnowing sets of GCPs through orientation modeling of pushbroom image and validate performance of this method using SPOT stereo pair of Daejon City. It has been found that the statistical distribution of GCP positional errors is approximately Gaussian without bias, and that the residual errors estimated by orientation modeling have a linear relationship with the positional errors. Inaccurate GCPs have large positional errors and can be iteratively eliminated by thresholding the residual errors. Forty-one GCPs were initially extracted for the test, with mean the positional error values of 25.6m, 2.5m and -6.1m in the X-, Y- and Z-directions, respectively, and standard deviations of 62.4m, 37.6m and 15.0m. Twenty-one GCPs were eliminated by the proposed method, resulting in the standard deviations of the positional errors of the 20 final GCPs being reduced to 13.9m, 8.5m and 7.5m in the X-, Y- and Z-directions, respectively. Orientation modeling of the SPOT stereo pair was performed using the 20 GCPs, and the model was checked against 15 map-based points. The root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the model were 10.4m, 7.1m and 12.1m in X-, Y- and Z-directions, respectively. A SPOT DEM with a 20m ground resolution was successfully constructed using a automatic matching procedure.

Background: The use of systemic steroids for 6+ weeks in children is associated with decreased bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD). However, the effects of a shorter duration of use on BMD are unknown. Purpose: To determine the effect of the use of systemic steroids for 2-6 weeks on BMD and BMC in pediatric patients. Methods: Twenty-five pediatric patients (21 with tuberculosis, 2 with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, 1 with inflammatory bowel disease, 1 with autoimmune hemolytic anemia) who received systemic steroids for 2-6 weeks and 25 age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled. BMC, BMD, and z scores of the whole body (WB), lumbar spine (LS), nondominant distal radius (DR), and total body less the head (TBLH) were determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at baseline, the end of steroid therapy or 6 weeks (whichever was earlier; first follow-up), and at the end of 3 months from baseline (second follow-up) in patients and at baseline in controls. The values were adjusted for confounding variables. Continuous and categorical variables were compared using Student t test and the chi-square test or Fisher exact test, respectively. Pairwise comparisons employed Bonferroni correction. Results: Statistically significant decreases in BMC, BMD, and all z scores were observed. BMC declined by 5.37%, 2.08%, 1.82%, and 2.27%, and 11.42%, 3.75%, 3.34%, and 4.17% for WB, LS, DR, and TBLH, respectively, at the first and second follow-ups, respectively. Similarly, BMD declined by 2.01%, 2.31%, 2.18%, and 1.70% and 4.59%, 3.76%, 3.14%, and 3.50% for the WB, LS, DR, and TBLH, respectively, at the first and second follow-ups, respectively. A significant negative correlation was found among bone densitometric parameters, duration, and cumulative dose. Conclusion: The use of systemic steroids for 2-6 weeks in pediatric patients decreased the BMD and BMC of trabecular and cortical bones, an effect that persisted after discontinuation.

The development of AI systems for radiation therapy is important to improve the accuracy, effectiveness, and safety of cancer treatment. The current system has the disadvantage of monitoring patients using CCTV, which can cause errors and mistakes in the treatment process, which can lead to misalignment of radiation. Developed the PMRP system, an AI automation system that uses depth cameras to measure patient's fine movements, segment patient's body into parts, align Z values of depth cameras with Z values, and transmit measured feedback to positioning devices in real time, monitoring errors and treatments. The need for such a system began because the CCTV visual monitoring system could not detect fine movements, Z-direction movements, and body part movements, hindering improvement of radiation therapy performance and increasing the risk of side effects in normal tissues. This study could provide the development of a field of radiotherapy that lags in many parts of the world, along with the economic and social importance of developing an independent platform for radiotherapy devices. This study verified its effectiveness and efficiency with data through phantom experiments, and future studies aim to help improve treatment performance by improving the posture correction mechanism and correcting left and right up and down movements in real time.

本 硏究에서 試驗制作한 電子컴퍼스는 3軸磁氣센서와 傾斜角센서, 그리고 光자이로센서로 構成하였으며, 이들 각 센서의 出力特性과 性能 및 自差補正의 精度를 확인한 結果는 다음과 같다. 1) 3軸 磁氣센서의 出力特性은, X軸에서 측정된 磁界는 cos커브, Y軸에서는 -sin 커브, 그리고 Z軸에서는 그 값이 일정하게 나타나고 있어서 3軸 磁氣센서로서의 기능이 충분하다고 사료되며, 이때 出力電壓으로부터 算出된 地磁氣의 水平成分 H와 垂直成分 V는 각각 H=33.2${\mu}$T, V=23.95${\mu}$T였다. 2)光자이로 센서를 電動回轉台에 고정시키고, 시계방향으로 10$^{\circ}$/sec, 20$^{\circ}$/sec, 30$^{\circ}$/sec의 속도로 회전시켰을 때, 光자이로센서의 出力과 回轉角度와의 관계는 모두 일정한 값으로 비례함을 알 수 있다. 3) 補正前 自差는 磁界에 의해 誘導되고 있기 때문에, 최대 -25$^{\circ}$까지 크게 나타나고 있으나, 포와숀 補正法을 이용한 補正後의 자差는 ${\pm}2^{\circ}$ 범위 이내로 補正前에 비하여 自差가 현저히 작게 나타나고 있어서, 이번 硏究에서 試驗制作한 電子컴퍼스로 自動自差修正이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본과에서는 2 증례의 사경증에 대하여 환자의 경부 운동의 범위를 증가시키고 이와 동시에 경부의 심미적인 V형태를 유지하기 위하여 Ferkel 등에 의한 Biopolar release와 Z-pasty를 이용하여 수술을 시행하였으며 술후 2주 이내에 물리치료를 시행하여 경부운동 범위의 증가와 경부의 심미적인 유지에 비교적 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 그러나 증례 2에서는 이미 안모의 변형이 초래된 성인으로 안모 변형의 개선을 위한 이차 수술을 계획중이며, 이러한안모의 변형을 방지하기 위하여는 조기에 이를 진단하고 외과적 및 비외과적인 방법을 통한 적절한 처치가 중요하리라 생각되었다. 이러한 사경증 환자의 초기 치료가 대부분 타과에서 이루어지기 때문에 구강악안면외과 의사에게는 어느정도 생소할 수 있지만 사경증에 의하여 경부나 안모의 변형 등이 발생할 수 있으므로 사경증에 대한 더 많은 관심과 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료되어 문한고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
