  • Water temperature (WT) is a major environmental factor of metabolic rate in fish; it directly affects food intake, ammonia excretion, oxygen consumption (OC), growth, and survival. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the OC and the hematological response of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus because of WT changes. In Exp. I, WT was increased from 20℃ to 29℃ within 18 h and maintained at 29℃ for 96 h. Then, WT was decreased from 29℃ to 20℃ within 18 h and maintained at 20℃ for 24 h. In Exp. II, WT was decreased from 20℃ to 11℃ within 18 h and maintained at 11℃ for 96 h. Then, WT was increased from 11℃ to 20℃ within 18 h and maintained at 20℃ for 24 h. The Exp. III maintained that the Exp. I and II was consecutively. In Exp. I, the OC increased from 116.7 mg O2 kg-1 hr-1 to 317.5 mg O2 kg-1 hr-1 with increasing WT. In Exp. II, the OC decreased from 96.5 mg O2 kg-1 hr-1 to 71.3 mg O2 kg-1 hr-1 with decreasing WT. In Exp. III, OC tended to increase or decrease in inverse proportion to temperature. In Exp. I, cortisol, glucose, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) values increased with increasing WT. In Exp. II, Cl-, osmolality, AST, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values significantly changed during the experimental period: glucose values increased, whereas cortisol values decreased with decreasing WT. Exp. III was shown to be a more stressful environment to olive flounder than Exp. I and Exp. II. The results of our study will be useful for evaluating current aquaculture procedures of olive flounder and developing techniques to minimize stress in aquaculture farms.

  • Background: Cervical mobilization has been applied mainly for the improvement of arm and neck movements and pain reduction, and little research has been done to improve the executive function. Since this kind of so-called mechanical neck pain is one of most common symptoms, there are controversial issues about this with spine alignment. Posteroanterior (PA) mobilization from the Maitland concept is a process of examination, assessment, and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorder by manipulative physical therapy. Objective: To examine the short-term benefits of mobilization for patients with non-specific neck pain. Design: Dual-group Pretest-Posttest Design from the Quasi-Experimental research Methods: Fourteen participants (male 8, female 6; 20's of their age) with non-specific neck pains which are distributed all the unilateral or bilateral body side were recruited. Participants were categorized to Neck Pain with Movement Coordination Impairments (NPMCI) and Neck Pain with Mobility Deficits (NPMD) groups according to the results of physical examination. Professional physical therapist who has over 15-years-of clinical experience applicated manipulative therapy for the neck pain, an occupational therapist only conducted evaluations; K-NDI (Korean version of the Neck Disability Index), VAS (Visual Analog Scale), BDS-K (Korean version of Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale) for decreasing possible adverse effects; there were no person who reported other symptoms followed 4 weeks from the trial. Results: In the NPMCI group, data analysis indicated statistical differences between the PA mobilization interventions in NDI and BDS-K; even though, pain was reduced in VAS, this is not a significantly differ. In the NPMD group, data analysis represented statistical differences between the PA mobilization interventions in NDI, VAS and BDS-K; the scores were represented to be increased or the pain got relief. Conclusions: PA mobilization techniques according to Maitland concept have beneficial effects in patients with neck pain and other clinical positive effects which included neck disability, pain itself and motor function of upper extremity.

  • 지반공학적으로 흙의 함수비는 흙의 역학적 거동특성을 예측할 수 있는 중요한 인자이다. 통례적으로 흙의 함수비는 $105^{\circ}C$ 건조로에서 16~24시간 동안 건조해 함수비 값을 구한다. 현재 이러한 방법은 가장 보편적인 방법이며 많은 실험 데이타가 축척되어 있으나, 동시에 현장에서 사용하기에는 많은 시간을 필요로 하고 문제 발생 시 신속한 대책마련이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 최근 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해서 외국의 실험규정(ASTM, JGS)에서는 microwave oven을 이용한 함수비 측정법이 제정되어 있다. 또한 microwave oven에 의한 함수비의 신뢰성 평가에 관한 연구도 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주문진표준사, 카올리나이트, 벤토나이트, 화강풍화토, 유기토 등을 대상으로 microwave oven을 이용한 함수비 측정방법의 타당성을 확인했다. 신뢰성에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대해서 분석하고 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 방법에 대해서 고찰하였다.

  • Objective The suicide rate in South Korea is very high and is expected to increase in coming years. Intoxication is the most common suicide attempt method as well as one of the common reason for presenting to an emergency medical center. We used decision tree modeling analysis to identify predictors of risk for suicide by intentional intoxication. Methods A single-center, retrospective study was conducted at our hospital using a 4-year registry of the institute from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016. Demographic factors, such as sex, age, intentionality, therapeutic adherence, alcohol consumption, smoking status, physical disease, cancer, psychiatric disease, and toxicological factors, such as type of intoxicant and poisoning severity score were collected. Candidate risk factors based on the decision tree were used to select variables for multiple logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 4,023 patients with intoxication were enrolled as study participants, with 2,247 (55.9%) identified as cases of intentional intoxication. Reported annual percentages of intentional intoxication among patients were 628/937 (67.0%), 608/1,082 (56.2%), 536/1,017 (52.7), 475/987 (48.1%) from 2013 to 2016. Significant predictors identified based on decision tree analysis were alcohol consumption, old age, psychiatric disease, smoking, and male sex; those identified based on multiple regression analysis were alcohol consumption, smoking, male sex, psychiatric disease, old age, poor therapeutic adherence, and physical disease. Conclusion We identified important predictors of suicide risk by intentional intoxication. A specific and realistic approach to analysis using the decision tree modeling technique is an effective method to determine those groups at risk of suicide by intentional intoxication.

  • Activated carbon (AC) was synthesized from Phoenix dactylifera stones and then modified by $CoFe_2O_4$ magnetic nanocomposite for use as a Cr(VI) adsorbent. Both $AC/CoFe_2O_4$ composite and AC were fully characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, TEM, TGA, and VSM techniques. Based on the surface analyses, the addition of $CoFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles had a significant effect on the thermal stability and crystalline structure of AC. Factors affecting chromium removal efficiency like pH, dosage, contact time, temperature, and initial Cr(VI) concentration were investigated. The best pH was found 2 and 3 for Cr adsorption by AC and $AC/CoFe_2O_4$ composite, respectively. The presence of ion sulfate had a greater effect on the chromium sorption efficiency than nitrate and chlorine ions. The results illustrated that both adsorbents can be used up to seven times to adsorb chromium. The adsorption process was examined by three isothermal models, and Freundlich was chosen as the best one. The experimental data were well fitted by pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of hexavalent chromium using AC and $AC/CoFe_2O_4$ magnetic composite was obtained as 5.18 min and 1.52 min, respectively. Cr(VI) adsorption by AC and $AC/CoFe_2O_4$ magnetic composite was spontaneous and exothermic. In general, our study showed that the composition of $CoFe_2O_4$ magnetic nanoparticles with AC can increase the adsorption capacity of AC from 36 mg/L to 70 mg/L.

  • 본 논문에서는 다중 레이블 분류를 위한 특징 선별 기법을 제안한다. 기존 많은 특징 선별 기법들은 상호정보척도 등을 이용하여 특징과 레이블 사이의 연관성을 계산하여 특징을 선별하였다. 하지만 상호정보척도는 결합 확률을 요구하기 때문에 실제 전제 특징 집합에서 결합 확률을 계산하는 것은 어렵다. 따라서 소수의 특징만 계산이 가능하여 지역적 최적화만 가능하다는 단점을 가진다. 이런 지역적 최적화 문제를 피해, 주어진 특징 전체 공간에서 저랭크 공간을 구성하고, 희소성을 가진 특징들을 선별할 수 있는 특징 선별 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 뉴클리어 노름을 이용해 회귀 기반의 목적함수를 설계하였고, 이 목적 함수의 최적화 문제를 풀기 위한 경사하강법 방식의 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 4가지의 데이터와 3가지 다중 레이블 분류 성능을 기준으로 다중 레이블 분류 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 방법론이 기존 특징 선별 기법보다 좋은 성능을 나타내는 것을 보였다. 또한 제안하는 목적함수의 파라미터 값 변화에도 성능 변화가 둔감한 것을 실험적인 결과로 확인하였다.

  • Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer between embryos cultured in a time-lapse monitoring system (TLS) and those cultured in a conventional incubator (CI). Methods: The medical records of 250 fertilized embryos from 141 patients undergoing infertility treatment with assisted reproductive technology at a tertiary hospital from June 2018 to May 2020 were reviewed. The study population was divided into TLS and CI groups at a 1 to 1 ratio (125 embryos per group). The primary outcome was the live birth rate. Results: The TLS group had a significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate (46.4% vs. 27.2%, p=0.002), implantation rate (27.1% vs. 12.0%, p=0.004), and live birth rate (32.0% vs. 18.4%, p=0.013) than the CI group. Furthermore, subgroup analyses of the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate in the different age groups favored the TLS group. However, this difference only reached statistical significance in the live birth rate in women aged over 40 years and the clinical pregnancy rate in women aged 35-40 years (p=0.048 and p=0.031, respectively). The miscarriage rate, cleavage rate, and blastocyst rate were comparable. Conclusion: TLS application improved the live birth rate, implantation rate, and clinical pregnancy rate, particularly in the advanced age group in this study, while the other reproductive outcomes were comparable. Large randomized controlled trials are needed to further explore the ramifications of these findings, especially in different age groups.

  • 산림 현장조사는 현장에서 측정된 데이터를 야장에 수기로 기입하는 방법으로 이루어지고 있으며, 현장 조사 후 결과를 다시 정리해야하는 번거로움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 객체 모델링과 AR을 활용한 방법을 적용하여 시험림에 대한 수목조사에 효율성을 제고하고자 하였다. 3D 레이저 스캐너를 이용하여 연구대상지 1ha 면적의 387개 수목에 대한 데이터를 취득하였으며, 수목 객체의 추출 및 모델링을 통해 수목에 대한 좌표, 수고 및 흉고직경을 산정하였다. 이 방법은 현장에서 데이터 취득에 소요되는 시간을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 디지털화 된 성과물 생성이 가능하기 때문에 관련 시스템 구축을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하다. 또한 수목에 대한 모델링 결과와 GNSS 및 AR 기법을 이용한 조사는 현장에서 조사하는 수목에 대한 좌표와 수고 및 흉고직경 등의 속성정보를 확인할 수 있어 특정 객체의 위치와 속성값을 현장에서 확인하기 어려웠던 기존 조사 방법의 단점을 개선할 수 있었다. 향후 포인트클라우드와 AR 기술을 활용한 방법은 현장조사에 소요되는 인력과 시간을 감소시킬 수 있어 수목조사 및 모니터링의 효율성을 크게 향상시킬 것이다.
