In their long journey through the cardiovascular circuit, erythrocytes are coerced to shape transform and assume different shapes on account of varying flow conditions in different blood vessels. The present work was aimed to visualize these erythrocyte shape transformations by an invitro microcirculatory model, and assess multi-shape erythrocyte deformability. The model uses an in-house fabricated, inexpensive disposable micro flow channel to mimic certain invivo conditions and a fast frame video microscopic system for imaging the shape changes in erythrocytes. Results show the multi-shape transformation of erythrocyte christened as discoidal shape, the asymmetrically deformed 'hat' and 'bullet-like' shapes, and the axially deformed 'slipper' and 'spindle-like' shapes. Specific erythrocyte showed the shape transition and transformation while passing through the observed window. The obtained erythrocyte shapes very analyzed for deformability index using image processing techniques that varied significantly (p <0.001) for different shapes as compared with the resting shape.

The structures of the four lowest alanine conformers, along with their radical cations and the effect of ionization on the intramolecular proton transfer process, are studied using the density functional theory and MP2 method. The energy order of the radical cations of alanine differs from that of the corresponding neutral conformers due to changes in the basicity of the $NH_2$ group upon ionization. Ionization favors the intramolecular proton transfer process, leading to a proton-transferred radical-cation structure, [$NH_3{^+}-CHCH_3-COO{\bullet}$], which contrasts with the fact that a proton-transferred zwitterionic conformer is not stable for a neutral alanine in the gas phase. The energy barrier during the proton transfer process is calculated to be about 6 kcal/mol.

MVRS's measuring principles are based on the Doppler principle. It measures the velocities near the muzzle using the doppler signal output from the antenna and then predicts the velocity of the bullet leaving the muzzle by performing the regression analysis on previous measured velocities. There are a number of error sources when calculating the muzzle velocity. Antenna has long term frequency stability error and the doppler signal from the antenna has noise. These two error sources influence the accuracy of estimated velocities from the doppler signal. Estimated velocity errors result in the random error of data statistics. And when performing a regression analysis these random error components are transferred to the fitting error component. This study also analyzed the error components according to the hardware limitations of MVRS-700 and the signal processing method, and presented the calculated uncertainty of muzzle velocity.

Penetrating injuries to the upper cervical spine resulting from gunshots are rare in South Korea due to restrictions of gun use. Moreover, gunshot wounds to the upper cervical spine without neurological deficits occur infrequently because of the anatomic location and surrounding essential structures. We present an uncommon case involving the surgical removal of a bullet located in the anterior arch of first cervical vertebra (C1) via a transoral approach without neurological complications or subsequent mechanical instability.

New high-speed rail service, the Korea Train Express(KTX), has been beginning service in Korea. We measured the service quality of the Korea Train Express and comparatively analyzed the service quality of domestic flight and express buses which are means of long distance transportation. Furthermore, by using the Kano model, the perception level of the service of customers is not only segmented in groups but also switching barriers are derived. As a result, the customers by group have a difference in the level of their perception. While in both high-speed bullet train service and flights dimensions significantly affect the customer satisfaction and retention excluding a responsiveness dimension, in the Train Express four dimensions(Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangibles) with the exception of Empathy which significantly affect the customer satisfaction and retention.

The completion ('initiation' de facto) of the KASI Orbit Propagator and Estimator (KASIOPEA) has been delayed for several reasons unfortunately. Due to the lack of working staffs and the Division priority rearrangement, the initial plan was dismantled and ignored for many years. However, fundamental researches regarding the essential parts of KASIOPEA has been done by author. The numerical integration module of the KASIOPEA is the most sensitive part in the precision of the final output in general. There is no silver bullet in the numerical integration in an orbit propagation as a non-stiff ODE case. Many numerical integration method like single-step methods, multi-step method, and extrapolation methods have been used in overly populated orbit propagator or estimator. In this study, several popular methods from single-step, multi-step, and extrapolation methods have been tested in numerical accuracy and stability.

회전익항공기의 연료셀 내부는 연료보관 및 연료를 엔진으로 공급하기 위한 배관과 구성품들이 배치되어 있다. 특히, 기동헬기는 전장에서 사용되는 헬기로써, 수 km 고도에서 비행하는 고정익기보다 비행고도가 낮기 때문에 피탄될 가능성이 높다. 따라서, 항공기의 생존성을 극대화하기 위해서는 피탄시 유체내부 상승압력에 의한 내부 LRU 가 받는 영향성을 검토하여 설계되어야 함은 주지의 사실이다. 그러나, 내탄시험은 연료셀 자체의 제작비용 및 준비기간이 상당히 소요되고, 실탄사용에 따른 시험수행의 제약 때문에 수치모사를 통한 관련 데이터의 확보가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 유체-구조 수치모사 프로그램인 Autodyn을 이용하여 회전익항공기 연료셀의 내탄 수치모사를 수행하여, 피탄 후 연료셀 내부에서의 탄 거동을 분석하고 유체내부의 압력과 연료 셀 자체의 등가응력을 평가하였다.

A one-year-old, intact male, 24 kg, mixed breed dog was referred to the Animal Medical Center, Iksan, Chonbuk, Korea for treatment of a gunshot wound to the head. Physical examinations revealed bilateral nasal bleeding and open-mouth breathing. Radiographic examination showed fracture of the right maxilla bone and multiple fractures of the nasal bone. A $1cm{\times}1cm{\times}1.8cm$ region of mineral opacity material was observed in the right-cranial ventralnasal cavity and a $6mm{\times}6mm{\times}9mm$ region of mineral opacity material was present in the left-cranial dorsal-nasal cavity. The surgical procedure involved removal of bone fragments and the lodged bullet as well as the installation of three intraosseous wires. At two weeks after surgery, the patient exhibited no complications and had a good prognosis.

Today, with the development of modern civilization, the change of industrial structure and the increase of traffic volume and population make the number of maxillofacial injury patients also increase. Especially, the fracture possibilities of mandibular condyle have been increased because of mandibular position and shape. I experienced the case that mandibular condyle fracture caused by gun-shot injury(Bullet had been packed at the opposite condyle of input site) was treated by foreign body removal and condyle open reduction. I will represent that case with the journal review.

실전 배치되어 운용 중인 무기체계는 여러 형태의 사고 위험이 항상 존재한다 이중에서도 특히 항공기나 함정에서 발생하는 사고는 그 피해가 막대하게 커질 수도 있어 항공기나 함정 자체에 위협을 줄 수도 있다. 이러한 사고위험으로부터 인적, 물적 자원을 보호하기 위하여 둔감탄약(Insensitive Munitions)에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있으며, 아울러 이러한 무기 체계를 효과적으로 시험 평가하는 규격들이 검토되기 시작하여 1991년에 "Hazards Assesment Tests for Non-Nuclear Ordnance, DoD-STD-2105"를 기초로 한 MIL-STD-2105B가 채택되었다. 본 논문에서는 MIL-STD-2105B의 해석과 그에 따른 둔감탄약 시험에 포함되는 Bullet Impact Test, Fast Cookoff Test, Slow Cookoff Test, Fragment Impact Test, Sympathetic Detonation Test 등의 시험들의 세부적인 시험방법과 그 결과에 대한 판정 기준을 서술하였다. 또한 유도무기의 추진기관을 모델로 하여 둔감탄약 시험의 기준을 제시하였고 이 시험을 통과하기 위하여 향후 연구, 개발하여야 할 분야를 서술하였다.
