Assessment of perceptions of the community, the determinants and development of their behavior regarding common malignancies, helps in establishing evidence-based activities for prevention and early diagnosis of cancer. However information on this important aspect is lacking in our country. Qualitative methods were here used to obtain information through in depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with all categories of identified stakeholders. Most were unaware of the activities of the cancer control program. Even the providers were not fully conversant. All respondents mentioned lack of diagnostic and treatment facilities in government, primary and secondary level facilities. Perceptions of different categories of stakeholders regarding why many community members did not attend screening camps and other services reflect the determinants of community behavior, acting independently as well as in combination. The cancer control program was thought to be restricted only to some private facilities and overcrowded government tertiary care facilities where the visits were time consuming. Almost all the facilities were considered curative oriented. Issues of supervision, monitoring and feedback were inadequately addressed by providers who were inadequately trained in many program activities. The program lacked effective planning, coordination and appropriate implementation at the grass roots level in Delhi. Social mobilization was grossly inadequate, as most of the community members were unaware of the existence of the program. Misconceptions about the risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment were common amongst community members as well as many of the providers. Thus the national cancer control program in our country needs further community participation and social mobilization. Accessibility, availability, acceptability and affordability of various preventive, curative and rehabilitative activities, as well as intersectoral coordination, training, supervision and monitoring of program activities, all need to be addressed to ensure the success of this important public health program.

Power plant simulators have been used for operator training, control verification and engineering verification. In general, simulators can be used in the place where they are installed by only single user group at a time. Considering high cost of simulator development, a lot of available scenarios, the diversity of user level and accessibility based on users' work location, development of simulator system that can be used by multiple user groups regardless of location is required in order to enhance utilization of simulators. In this paper, the simulator system that can be used by multiple user group simultaneously without location limitation is proposed. The simulator system is composed of simulator servers, database servers, HMI servers, a web server, web clients. Simulator server consists of control model, process model that are developed for Circulating Fluidized Bed power plant located overseas. A web server manages user accounts, operation procedures, multiple server access between web client group and simulator server group. In other words, a web server makes a user group select a simulator server at a time. The developed simulator system is integrated after implementing process model, control model, HMI, and web server. Web client systems are installed on local site where power plant is located, while simulator servers, HMI servers, database servers, and a web server are located in KEPCO RI. The developed simulator system is verified by steady-state test, malfunction test and so on via remote access.

국가암검진사업에서 매년 400만 명 이상의 여성이 유방촬영술을 이용한 유방암 검진을 받고 있다. 2000년 디지털 유방촬영술의 도입 이후, 선행 연구들에 의하면 디지털 유방촬영술은 치밀유방을 가진 여성에서 제한적으로 기존의 필름 방식 또는 computed radiography (이하 CR)보다 높은 진단 정확도를 보고하였다. 최근 국가암검진사업에서 수행된 자료를 분석한 결과에 따르면 디지털 유방촬영술의 진단 정확도가 필름 또는 CR 방식에 비해서 치밀유방을 가진 여성뿐만 아니라 모든 연령대의 여성에서 검진 횟수와 상관없이 보다 정확하였다. 우리나라는 OECD 국가 중에서도 높은 유방촬영기기 보급률에도 불구하고 현재 디지털 유방촬영기기의 보급은 전체 유방촬영기기 중, 35% 정도 수준으로 더디기만 하다. 디지털 유방촬영기기로의 신속한 전환을 위하여 수가제도의 개선, 유방 영상 판독 교육 지원 등 관련 법과 제도의 정비가 필요할 것이다. 아울러 국가암검진사업에서 보다 많은 여성이 디지털 유방촬영기기를 이용한 유방암 검진을 받을 수 있도록 장비 보급의 지역 간 격차 해소를 위해 노력해야 할 것이다.

최근에 Agrawal 등이 제안한 히포크라테스 데이타베이스는 관계형 데이타베이스에 프라이버시 보호 기능을 추가한 데이타베이스 모델이다. 본 논문의 저자들은 히포크라테스 데이타베이스 모델을 XML 데이타베이스에 적용할 수 있도록 확장한 히포크라테스 XML 데이타베이스 모델[4]을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 동적 프레디킷(dynamic predicate)이라는 새로운 개념을 제안하고, 히포크라테스 XML 데이타베이스 모델에서의 액세스 통제에 이 개념을 적용한다. 동적 프레디킷은 권한에 의해 액세스가 허용되는지를 결정하는데 적용될 수 있는 질의 처리 도중에 동적으로 생성되는 조건을 나타낸다. 동적 프레디킷은 권한 검사를 질의 계획에 효과적으로 통합하여 액세스가 허용되지 않은 엘리먼트들이 질의 처리 과정에서 일찍 제외될 수 있게 해준다. 합성 데이타와 실제 데이타를 사용하여 기존의 액세스 통제 방법과 질의 처리 시간을 비교하는 다양한 실험을 수행한 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 액세스 통제 방법은 하향식 액세스 통제 방법에 비하여 최대 219배, 상향식 액세스 통제 방법에 비하여 최대 499배 성능을 향상시킴을 보였다. 본 논문의 주요 공헌은 히포크라테스 XML 데이타베이스 모델 상에서 동적 프레디킷을 사용하여 액세스 통제 방법을 질의 계획에 효과적으로 통합할 수 있도록 한 것이다.

In this study, the feasibility of utilizing wood chips from pitch pine (Pinus rigida) was evaluated for bioethanol production by an organosolv pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification. When wood chips from pitch wood were pretreated with 75% (v/v) ethanol and 1.7% sulfuric acid as a catalyst at H-factor 2000, average pulp yield was 43.3%, which pretreated wood fibers showed higher glucan (55.8%) and lower lignin (12.2%) contents than untreated control (43.9% glucan and 27.8% lignin). After enzymatic saccharification, the organosolv pulps with 56.2% delignification rate reached above 97% conversion rate of cellulose to glucose. These results indicated that increasing the delignification rate causes micro pores on the surface of organosolv pulps resulting in improved the accessibility of enzyme onto the substrate. Moreover, it was in agreement with the SEM examination of wood fibers.
