The formation of Sajapyeong Alpine Wetland was influenced by factors of drainage basin and its geology, and fire-shifting cultivation. Sajapycong drainage basin had a narrow outlet, Sijeon-cheon in it flowed relatively slowly. Bedrock in basin was weak to mechanical weathering, many rock detritus were, produced. Deforestation for reclamation using fire accelerated topsoil loss. Thus much sediments was supplied to Sijeon-cheon and deposited in the channel bed, and wetland was formed on channel marginal footslope. In Sajapyeong moor were Gullies formed along road. Because they blocked sediments and throughflow transferring into moor, moor became dry land. In order to prevent this drying, we have, to raise water level of a drain ditch to level of weathered bedrock to transfer throughflow into moor, modify the shape of ditch to be naturally irregular, and construct large boulders step on the Sijeon-cheon bed to prevent from lowering of its bed.

In this paper, the power amplifier using active bias circuits for LDMOS(Lateral Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor) MRF-21180 is designed and fabricated. According to change the temperature, the gate voltage of LDMOS is controlled by the fabricated active bias circuits which is made of PNP transistor to suppress drain current. The driving amplifier using MRF-21125 and MRF-21060 is made to drive the LDMOS MRF-21180 power amplifier. The variation of current consumption in the fabricated 60 watt power amplifier has an excellent characteristics of less than 0.1 A, whereas a passive biasing circuit dissipates more than 0.5 A. The implemented power amplifier has the gain over 9 dB, the gain flatness of less than $\pm$0.1 dB and input and output return loss of less than -6 dB over the frequency range 2.11 $\sim$ 2.17 GHz. The DC operation point of this power amplifier at temperature variation 0 $^{\circ}C$ to 60 $^{\circ}C$ is fixed by active bias circuit.

We investigated the stability of cryocooler-cooled high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils by using a computer program based on FEM. In this study, the current at which "thermal runaway" occurs, which depends on the relationship between the cooling power of the cryocooler and the heat generation in HTS coils, was adopted as a stability criterion of cryocooler operating HTS coils. It was shown that cryocooler-cooled HTS coil was stable in operating current above the critical current from the numerical analysis results by HTS model coil. And also, if we efficiently remove the heat generation from HTS coils by potimizing heat drain, the ramp-rate limitation can be mitigated because the effect of AC loss by the current rise was too small. Furthermore, in the case of pulsed operation; the HTS model coil is ramped from zero to the peak value in one second and back to zero current in one second, such as the operation of SMES device, the peak value of poerating current is 1.5-2 times greater than that of the thermal runaway current.

Esophagectomy and esophageal reconstruction are commonly chosen as surgical options for esophageal cancer. However, prolonged untreated chyle leakage is associated with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a patient with refractory chylous ascites. To limit the ongoing fluid loss, we utilized the chylous ascites as an additional fluid source in a renal replacement therapy system. A continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) drainage system was modified to drain both the chylous ascites and venous blood. The ascites drainage rate was determined empirically and regulated by a dial-flow extension set. The CRRT mode was set to continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration and maintained for 7 days. After the patient was weaned from CRRT, ascites did not reaccumulate, and the patient's general condition improved dramatically. No infections related to the system occurred. This procedure temporarily alleviates symptoms and provides more time for alternative treatment strategies.

Due to recent climate abnormalities, the form of rainfall is changing to localized torrential rains. Localized torrential rains cause flooding in urban areas. In addition, in various industrial fields, there are cases where materials necessary for the process are kept outdoors, and damage from material loss and flooding of stockyards occurs during heavy rain. Accordingly, it is necessary to introduce a drainage layer where flooding is expected. This drainage layer places the aggregate inside and allows rainwater to penetrate and drain into the voids between the aggregates. However, the amount of voids differs according to the particle size distribution and particle size of the aggregate, and the drainage performance varies according to the compositional location of the aggregate. Therefore, in this study, the drainage characteristics according to the particle size, particle size, and compositional location of aggregates are analyzed using a fluid analysis program.

Purpose: This study examined the difference between the drainage volume, blood loss, transfusion rate, volume, and complications with or without an intra-articular (IA) tranexamic acid (TXA) injection among patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA) with bilateral knee joint osteoarthritis, including patients who have contraindications of intravenous administration. Materials and Methods: Among patients who underwent SBTKA from April 2016 to December 2018, 139 patients injected with 3 g of TXA in each side through a drainage tube after joint capsule repair (group T), and 57 patients (group A) who underwent the procedure without TXA between October 2007 and August 2010 were tested. No significant difference in age and sex was observed between the two groups (p=0.572, 0.474). TXA was injected in patients with contraindications of intravenous administrations. Patients who underwent SBTKA with inflammatory arthritis were excluded from this study. The average amount of drainage, blood loss, transfusion rate, volume and daily average transfusion rate, and hemoglobin (Hb) change by the postoperative day were compared. Complications, such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and infection, were investigated. Results: The average total blood losses in groups A and T were 2195.32±1175.63 ml and 1145.09±382.95 ml, respectively, and the average total drain volume was 1,178.30±48.59 ml and 774.19±310.06 ml, respectively; both were significantly lower in group T (p=0.002, <0.001). The transfusion rates were 77.2% (44/57) and 0.7% (1/139), which were significantly lower in group T (p<0.001). The total average transfusion volume in groups A and T were 735.44±550.83 ml and 4.60±54.28 ml, respectively, which were significantly lower in group T (p<0.001). Hb tended to increase for three or four days after surgery in group A and group T. Regarding complications, deep vein thrombosis was encountered in two cases (1.4%), and pulmonary thromboembolism was noted in three cases (2.2%) in group T, but there were no cases in group A. No infections, cerebral infarction, or myocardial infarction occurred. Conclusion: In SBTKA, IA injections of TXA reduced the average drain volume, blood loss, transfusion rate, and volume significantly and did not increase the incidence of complications, even in patients with contraindications of intravenous administration.

In this paper, low conversion loss 94 GHz MIMIC resistive mixer was designed and fabricated. The $0.1{\mu}m$ InGaAs/InAlAs/GaAs Metamorphic HEMT, which is applicable to MIMIC's, was fabricated. The DC characteristics of MHEMT are 665 mA/mm of drain current density, 691 mS/mm of maximum transconductance. The current gain cut-off frequency(fT) is 189 GHz and the maximum oscillation frequency(fmax) is 334 GHz. A 94 GHz resistive mixer was fabricated using $0.1{\mu}m$ MHEMT MIMIC process. From the measurement, the conversion loss of the 94 GHz resistive mixer was 8.2 dB at an LO power of 10 dBm. P1 dB(1 dB compression point) of input and output were 9 dBm and 0 dBm, respectively. LO-RF isolations of resistive mixer was obtained 15.6 dB at 94.03 GHz. We obtained in this study a lower conversion loss compared to some other resistive mixers in W-band frequencies.

The quantity of noxious wastes generated by the growth in industrialization and population in all over the world and its potential hazards in subsurface environments are becoming increasingly significant. The extraction of the contaminant from the soil and movement of the water are restricted due to the low permeability and adsorption characteristics of the reclaimed soils. Incorporated technique with PVDs have been used for dewatering from fine-grained soils for the purpose of ground improvement by means of soil flushing and soil vapor extraction systems. This paper is to evaluate several key parameters that affected to the performance of the PVDs specifically with regard to: well resistance of PVD, zone of influence, and smear effects. In the feasibility of contaminant remediation was evaluated in pilot-scale laboratory experiments. Well resistance is affected on the vertical discharge capacity of the PVDs under the various vacuum pressures. The discharge capacity increases consistently in areal extents with higher applied vacuum up to a limiting vacuum pressure. The head values for each piezometer at different vacuum pressures show that the largest head loss occurs within 14 cm of the PVD. Air flow rates and head losses were measured for the PVD placed in the model test box and the gas permeability of the silty soils was calculated. Increasing the equivalent diameter results in a decrease in the calculated gas permeability. It is concluded that the gas permeability determined over the 1,500 to 2,000 $cm^3/s$ flow rates are the most accurate values which yields gas permeability of about 3.152 Darcy.
