Although carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 is a useful tumor marker for pancreatic cancer, it can also become elevated from a variety of benign and malignant conditions. Herein we describe an unusual presentation of elevated CA 19-9 in an asymptomatic patient who had previously undergone adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy for resected early stage pancreatic cancer. The rise in CA 19-9 might be due to delayed radiation-induced inflammation related to previous intra-abdominal radiation therapy with or without radiation recall induced by gemcitabine. After treatment with corticosteroids the CA 19-9 level decreased to normal, and the patient has not developed any evidence of recurrent cancer to date.

The cutting mechanism of ultrasonic vibration machining is characterized as two phases, that is, an impact at the cutting edge and a reduction of cutting force due to non-contact interval between tool and workpiece. In this paper, in order to identify cutting dynamics of a system with ultrasonically vibrated cutting tool, an ARMA modeling is performed on experimental cutting force signals which have a dominant effect on cutting dynamics. The aim of this study is, through Dynamic Date System methodology, to find the inherent characteristics of an ultrasonic vibration cutting process by considering natural frequency and damping coefficient. Surface roughness and stability of cutting process under ultrasonic vibration are also considered

생산시스템에 있어서 스케쥴링 문제에 관한 이론적 연구는 종래부터 많이 연구되어 왔지만, 그 대부분은 작업의 가공시간이 확정적(deterministic)인 경우의 평가척도(criterion)를 고려한 것이었다. 그러나 실제 노동집약형 산업이라든가 고장율이 높은 자동화 공장등에 있어서는 가공시간 또는 제조 리드타임이 확률적인 변동을 갖는 경우가 많다. 이러한 가공시간의 변동은 각 작업의 가공완료시각의 변동으로 되어 후공정의 작업계획에 중대한 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 가공시간이 확률적(probabilistic)인 경우의 생산 시스템을 대상으로 한 스케쥴링 문제에 관한 연구는 최근에 와서 연구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 종래의 단일 공정의 생산 시스템을 대상으로 n개의 작업이 확정적인 가공시간을 갖는 경우의 총체류시간(total flow time)과 납기(due date)의 평가척도에 관한 스케쥴링 문제를 가공시간이 확률적인 분포를 갖는 경우로 확장시킨 스케쥴링 문제를 제안한다. 그리고 납기에 있어서 평균 납기지연확률(mean probability of tardiness)을 최소화하는 스케쥴링 문제의 휴리스틱 해법을 제안하여 그 실용성을 검토하였다.

Moore, Oklahoma was hit by an EF5 tornado on May 20, 2013. The tornado track slightly overlapped with two previous tornadoes that occurred on May 3, 1999 and May 8, 2003 respectively. A research team from Texas Tech University was deployed to investigate the performance of shelters based on observation of their post-storm conditions. Sixty-one shelter units were further documented by size, manufacturer, and date of installation if available. Then they were crossed referenced with the external databases to determine their compliance with design and construction standards by the International Code Council/National Storm Shelter Association and/or criteria from the Federal Emergency Management Agency publications. Wind intensity was estimated for each shelter location using the EF scale. Results showed a marked increase in the number of exterior underground shelters as well as the popularity of a new in-garage floor underground shelter design. All of the units provided protection for their occupants with no loss of life reported. However, one older shelter had a door failure due to neglect of maintenance. Recommendations were made to improve future performance of shelters.

The breakdown of machines lead to the lateness of parts and the change of schedules. Its treatment is very important problem in the shop floor control system. In this study, we present an algorithm minimize the lateness, earliness and change of schedule by controlling machining speed of available machines. Production time and production cost required to manufacture a piece of product are usually expressed as a unimodal convex fuction with respect to machining speed, and each has its minimal point at the minimum time speed or the minimum cost speed, and a speed range between these two speeds is called 'efficiency speed range'. Therefore, the algorithm determines the machining speed in the efficiency speed range. An example is demonstrated to explain the algorithm.

Integrated Supply Chain Management is a important subject for all enterprise activities as include logistics/sales, transfer and storage, manufacturing, purchasing of materials. A recent customer wants to receive high level service of all parts as Qualify, Delivery, Cost and Product. Therefore, Enterprise effort to supply for customers needs use some techniques like Data Mining, POS, MIS. Inventory and Logistics cost is the highest expense of all cost from first supplier to final customer on supply routine. So, SCM's basic purpose is reduce to that cost. So that this paper explain necessary, background, concept of SCM, analyze several using methodology and function of main SCM solution, after propose to ATP model include arithmetic procedure, functions, input data for determines available due date.

In this paper, we propose a security-enhanced storing method for the voice data obtained during the flight. When an emergency occurs during flight, the flight data in the storage device such as DTS or Blackbox can be exposed to antagonist or enemy. Currently, zeroize function is embedded in these devices in order to prevent this situation. However, this could not be operated if the system is malfunctioned or the pilot is wounded in the emergency. In order to solve this problem, the voice data compressed by the ADPCM is encrypted in the proposed method composed of the AES algorithm and a reordering method. The simulation results show that the security for the voice date is further enhanced due to the proposed method.

Micro LED, which is emerging as a next generation display, is difficult to commercialize due to various technical problems to date. In particular, transfer technology that transfers small LED to a display substrate in micro units is a key technology that can bring commercialization and is an important variable. The core of transfer technology is to move the LED quickly and accurately to the desired location. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention on the transfer technology which is the most important task of Micro LED, and we analyzed and summarized the transfer technology using Elastomer Stamp which is one of the advanced transfer technologies.

Acromial fractures are well-documented complications subsequent to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), and most appear as stress fractures with no history of single trauma. To date, no study has reported the occurrence of acute displaced acromial fracture due to sudden strong deltoid contraction during heavy work. Displacement of the fracture results in a challenging surgery since it is difficult to obtain adequate fixation in thin and osteoporotic bones. We report a rare case of acute displaced acromial fracture after successful RSA treatment, using a novel technique of open reduction and internal fixation, applying two 4.5 mm cannulated screws and lateral clavicle precontoured plate.

Genetically engineered mouse models are commonly preferred for studying the human disease due to genetic and pathophysiological similarities between mice and humans. In particular, Cre-loxP system is widely used as an integral experimental tool for generating the conditional. This system has enabled researchers to investigate genes of interest in a tissue/cell (spatial control) and/or time (temporal control) specific manner. A various tissue-specific Cre-driver mouse lines have been generated to date, and new Cre lines are still being developed. This review provides a brief overview of Cre-loxP system and a few commonly used promoters for expression of tissue-specific Cre recombinase. Also, we finally introduce some available links to the Web sites that provides detailed information about Cre mouse lines including their characterization.
