Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS), associated with the deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, causes multiple congenital malformations. Patients suffer from various deformities, including mental and growth disorders, epilepsy, hypotonia, congenital heart defects, and atypical craniofacial features. The "Greek warrior helmet appearance" is the most characteristic feature, with a prominent glabella, high arched eyebrow, broad nasal bridge, and hypertelorism. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is observed in 30% of patients. Dental structure anomalies also exist including multiple tooth agenesis and over-retained primary molars caused by MSX1 gene impairment, and cone-shaped and taurodontic teeth. This case, a 9-year-old girl with WHS, showed intellectual disability, delayed growth development, previous occurrence of seizures, otitis media, and the typical facial features of WHS. Dental findings included multiple congenital missing teeth, over-retained primary teeth, and severe caries on the primary molars. Dental treatments were performed under general anesthesia. This report documents the characteristics of WHS, including general and oral features, and discusses the importance of oral hygiene and preventive dental management.

Teaching computer and ICT skills in K-12 helps to bridge the digital divide of the students at the minimum cost, and provides them with a chance of getting a Quality of life as well as a Quality of work in the future. From examining the education policies of U.S., EU, Canada, and other countries, concerning computer education, several factors, including vision and national-level policy, Quality of manpower, needs for computer-related technology, structure of IT industry, overall demand for IT specialists, have been identified as those with major impacts on the curriculum of computer education. Based upon the analysis of domestic key factors, three levels of computer education program are suggested. At the most basic and least controversial level, basic ICT-skill program for effective learning needs to be provided for every student. Next level is concerned with improving the Quality of life and work. A program for introductory level of computer science can be provided as extra-curricular classes for bright and eager students, who might want to be computer expert or specialists.

The objective of the study is to explore how to influence SNS's characteristics on attitude formation toward jewelry product and online shopping mall. SNS's characteristics are contextuality, responsiveness, social presence, and interaction as independent variables. Consumer satisfaction, worth of mouth and purchase intention are considered as dependent variables. Data were collected from a survey of 317 consumers who have experience to purchase jewelry product to examine their attitude toward SNSs, jewelry product, and online shopping mall from November 1 to November 15 2013. In order to test hypotheses, CFA analysis with covariance structure analysis was conducted using EQS6b. SNS's users have a tendency to perceive SNSs as bridge to connect other people and to get new information as well as they are willing to feel familiarity on SNSs. Users, who have a higher contextuality, responsiveness, social presence, and interaction of SNS's characteristics, are willing to have word of mouth intention of jewelry product as well as have high satisfaction. The study found that interaction is not effect on consumer satisfaction because interaction factor is to evaluate SNSs as one of the media.

We have studied the eukaryotic plankton species diversity to compare the community structure of fresh and brackish waters in the lower reaches of the Nakdong River using metagenomic methods. We constructed 18S rDNA clone libraries of total DNAs extracted from environmental water samples collected at Mulgeum (MG100929, fresh) and Eulsukdo bridge (ES, brackish). Through the steps of colony PCR, PCR-RFLP, sequencing and similarity analysis, we discovered the diverse species composition of eukaryotic plankton. Total 338 clones (170 at MG100929 and 168 at ES) were analyzed, and then we found 74 phylotypes (49 for MG100929 and 25 for ES). From the phylogenetic analysis, we confirmed various eukaryotic plankton of broad range of taxonomic groups, including Stramenopiles, Cryptophyta, Viridiplantae, Alveolata, Rhizaria, Metazoa, and Fungi. We also found several unreported species in Korea and candidates of new taxonomic entities at levels higher than genus. Especially, the cryptic species diversity including unreported phylotypes of Pirsonia (Stramenopiles) and Perkinsea (Alveolata) suggests that the molecular monitoring method can produce new informative biological data in monitoring the changes in the Nakdong River Mouth ecosystem.

This paper presents an investigation of the structural stability of cable-stayed bridges in the construction stage, using geometric nonlinear finite-element analysis and considering various geometric nonlinearities, such as the sag effect of the cables, the P-${\Delta}$ effects of the girder and mast, and the large displacement effect. Initial shape analysis and construction-stage analysis were performed to determine the equilibrium of the structure in the construction stage. After that, geometric nonlinear analysis was performed to study structural stability. In this study, the weight of the derrick crane and the key segment were considered the main external loads, which were applied to the tip of the center span. The cable arrangement type and the stiffness ratios of the girder and mast were considered the main parameters of the analytic research. Based on the results of the analysis, the change in the buckling mode and critical load factors with respect to the cable arrangement type and the stiffness ratios of the girder and mast was investigated. The buckling modes of the steel cable-stayed bridges in the construction stage were classified, and the ranges of the stiffness ratios of the girder and mast, which show these classified buckling modes, were suggested.

This paper is to determine the possibility of re-using waste concrete from Incheon city area. The strength test was conducted with five aggregate compounds which was replaced a natural aggregate with recycled aggregate. After checking the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate compounds, the mix design of recycled concrete was conducted. For the relatively comparison between natural and recycled compounds, while the unit aggregate weight was changed, other conditions were fixed. The freezing and thawing test which included fly-ash and super-plastezer were performed to check the durability and workability when recycling waste concrete. In the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate, it was found that the specific gravity of recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate satisfied the first grade of recycle specification(KS), and all compounds of recycled aggregate also satisfied the second grade of absorption specification, Especially up to the 50% substitution of recycled aggregate is equal to or a bit lower than that of convention aggregate. In comparison with conventional concrete, the recycled concrete is lower than maximum by 7% in compressive strength decreasing rate after freezing-thawing test. From now, although most of recycled concrete was used to the building lot, subgrade, asphalt admixture, through the result. It was proved that possibility of re-using recycled aggregate as the substructure of bridge, retaining wall, tunnel lining and concrete structure which is not attacked the drying shrinkage severely.

A Large-diameter drilled shaft of deep water depth composite foundation supporting a high rise pylon of the test designed super long span bridge was designed by allowable stress design method and failure probability through reliability analysis to bearing capacity was estimated. The allowable stress design results for the bearing capacity of a drilled shaft were analyzed by reliability analysis and the probability of failure shows 0.12 % in case of CFEM, 0.0002 % in case of Korea Highway Corporation criterion, and 0.003 % in case of structure foundation design criterion. In the allowable stress design, the bearing capacity of a large-diameter drilled shaft was obtained by applying to safety factor 3 and reliability analysis for the results was done. If the failure probability suggested by AASHTO(2007) specification is set to 0.02 %, the socketed length of a drilled shaft shows an increase of 25 % in CFEM, decrease of 60 % in KHCC, and decrease of 89 % in SFDC.

Recently the establishment of high accuracy 3D spatial information has been largely stimulated according to the increase in need of such 3D spatial information. In the fields of constructions and civil works, studies on increasing the productivity in these fields through converging them with other fields using the established 3D spatial information have been conducted. In such a tendency, BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies have been rapidly applied to the fields of constructions and civil works. In particular, in the fields of constructions and civil works that represent a life span of plan-design-construction-maintenance, some BIM application methods and plans for the characteristics in each step have been proposed. Thus, the objective of this study is to simulate a project that is reasonable and can be optimized in connection with 3D spatial information and BIM technologies escaped from the conventional civil construction process that is based on empirical, statistical DB, and 2D information. For achieving this objective, 3D terrain data for the subject area engaged in this study using aerial photographs and airborne LiDAR was established. Also, a counter plan for the issues, which cannot be solved in the conventional methods for managing civil work projects, is applied through implementing bridge-based civil structure BIM by combining them with objective information.

This study was estimated on performance of deicers, corrosion inhibitors and low corrodible deicer used for removal of snow or ice on the road and on influence on structure. The weight loss rate after freezing and thawing of low corrodible deicer is lower than one of deicer, corrosion inhibitors and these combination. Relative dynamic elastic modulus of all except water, low corrodible deicer and NaCl+JF-1004 was radically reduced after freezing and thawing 150 cycles. And concretes after freezing and thawing were showed severe surface damage. It was found that individual use of low corrodible deicer and corrosion inhibitors had a problem of field application because of lack of early ice melting effect and considerably low durability. Products combined with NaCl was showed rapid weight loss by metal corrosion. Therefore, It will need to circumspectly select combination of deicers having low effect on concrete pavement and bridge if possible.

The copolymerization characteristics of a newly-synthesized catalyst, $rac-Me_2Si(2-p-tolylindenyl)_2ZrCl_2$, and its analogue, $rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2$, were examined in the ethylene/1-octene copolymerization while varying the concentration of 1-octene in the reaction mixture. The activity of $rac-Me_2Si(2-p-tolylindenyl)_2ZrCl_2$ catalyst was decreased with increase of comonomer concentration, which is different from the usual comonomer effect of the metallocene catalysts with a bridge structure. The contents of 1-octene in the copolymer from the catalyst with 2-p-tolyl substituent were higher than those from the catalyst without that substituent. The melting point, crystallinity, and molecular weight decreased with comonomer content which was more apparent for $rac-Me_2Si(2-p-tolylindenyl)_2ZrCl_2$ catalyst.
