The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a multiple voice therapy technique ($SKMVTT^{(R)}$) using laughter for the treatment of various benign vocal fold lesions. To achieve this, 23 female patients diagnosed with vocal nodules, vocal polyp, and muscle tension dysphonia through videostroboscopy were enrolled in vocal hygiene and $SKMVTT^{(R)}$. All of the patients were treated once a week for 4 to 12 sessions. The GRBAS scale was used to confirm the changes in voice quality before and after the treatment. Acoustic analysis was performed to evaluate jitter, shimmer, NHR, fundamental frequency variation, amplitude variation, PFR, and dB range. Videostroboscopy was performed to confirm the changes in the laryngeal features before and after the treatment. After the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$, the results of the perceptual evaluation demonstrated that the G, R, and B scales significantly improved. An acoustic evaluation also demonstrated that jitter, shimmer, NHR, vAm, vFo, PFR, and dB range also significantly improved after the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$. In comparison to the videostroboscopic findings, the size of the vocal nodules and vocal polyp decreased or disappeared after the treatment. In addition, the size of the cuneiform tubercles decreased, the length of the aryepiglottic folds became longer, and the laryngeal findings of the supraglottic compressions improved after the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$. These results suggest that the $SKMVTT^{(R)}$ is effective in improving the vocal quality of patients with benign vocal fold lesions. In conclusion, it seems that laughter and inspiratory phonation suppressed abnormal laryngeal elevation and lowered laryngeal height, which seems to have the effect of improving hyperfunctional phonation.

Flexoelectricity is an interesting materials' property that is more touchable in small scales. This property beside the sandwich structures placed in the center of scientists' attention due to their extraordinary effects on the mechanical properties. Furthermore, in the passage of decades, more elaborated sandwich structures took into consideration results from using honeycomb core. This kind of structure, inspiring from honeycomb core, provides more stiffness to weight ratio, which plays a crucial role in different industries. In this paper, based on the Love-Kirchhoff's hypothesis, Hamilton's principle, modified couple stress theory and Fourier series analytical method, equations of motion for a sandwich plate containing a honeycomb core integrated by two face-sheets have derived and solved analytically. The equations of both face sheets have derived by flexoelectricity consideration. Moreover, it should be noticed that the whole structure rests on the visco-Pasternak foundation. Conducting current research provided an acceptable and throughout study based on flexoelectricity to address the effect of materials' characteristics, length-scale parameter, aspect, and thickness ratios and boundary conditions on the natural frequency of honeycomb sandwich plates. Also, based on the presented figures and tables, there is a close agreement between previous studies and recent work. Due to the high ratio of strength to weight, current model analyzing is capable of taking into account for different vehicles' manufacturing in a high range of industries.

Amphidinium species are amongst the most abundant benthic dinoflagellates in marine intertidal sandy ecosystems. Some of them produce a variety of bioactive compounds that have both harmful effects and pharmaceutical potential. In this study, Amphidinium cells were isolated from intertidal sand collected from the East China Sea. The two strains established were subjected to detailed examination by light, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The vegetative cells had a minute, irregular, and triangular-shaped epicone deflected to the left, thus fitting the description of Amphidinium sensu stricto. These strains are distinguished from other Amphidinium species by combination characteristics: (1) longitudinal flagellum inserted in the lower third of the cell; (2) icicle-shaped scales, 276 ± 17 nm in length, on the cell body surface; (3) asymmetrical hypocone with the left side longer than the right; and (4) presence of immotile cells. Therefore, they are described here as Amphidinium stirisquamtum sp. nov. The molecular tree inferred from small subunit rRNA, large subunit rRNA, and internal transcribed spacer-5.8S sequences revealed that A. stirisquamtum is grouped together with the type species of Amphidinium, A. operculatum, in a fully supported clade, but is distantly related to other Amphidinium species bearing body scale. Live A.stirisquamtum cells greatly affected the survival of rotifers and brine shrimp, their primary grazers, making them more susceptible to predation by the higher tropic level consumers in the food web. This will increase the risk of introducing toxicity, and consequently, the bioaccumulation of toxins through marine food webs.

In current study, for the first time, Nonlinear Bending of a skew microplate made of a laminated composite strengthened with graphene nanosheets is investigated. A mixture of mechanical and thermal stresses is applied to the plate, and the reaction is analyzed using the First Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). Since different percentages of graphene sheets are included in the multilayer structure of the composite, the characteristics of the composite are functionally graded throughout its thickness. Halpin-Tsai models are used to characterize mechanical qualities, whereas Schapery models are used to characterize thermal properties. The microplate's non-linear strain is first calculated by calculating the plate shear deformation and using the Green-Lagrange tensor and von Karman assumptions. Then the elements of the Couple and Cauchy stress tensors using the Modified Coupled Stress Theory (MCST) are derived. Next, using the Hamilton Principle, the microplate's governing equations and associated boundary conditions are calculated. The nonlinear differential equations are linearized by utilizing auxiliary variables in the nonlinear solution by applying the Frechet approach. The linearized equations are rectified via an iterative loop to precisely solve the problem. For this, the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) is utilized, and the outcomes are shown for the basic support boundary condition. To ascertain the maximum values of microplate deflection for a range of circumstances-such as skew angles, volume fractions, configurations, temperatures, and length scales-a parametric analysis is carried out. To shed light on how the microplate behaves in these various circumstances, the resulting results are analyzed.

목탑의 기단부는 기단토와 이를 둘러싸는 외장, 계단, 그리고 기타 시설물로 구성되며 각각의 구성 요소들은 만들어진 시기, 장소, 조영세력에 따라 그 외형을 달리하고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 발굴조사를 실시한 백제, 신라~통일신라의 목탑지에서는 고구려의 목탑지에서 확인된 물받이시설, 중국 건축물의 산수(散水), 일본 목탑지에서 확인된 이누바시리(犬走り)가 확인되지 않았다. 일반적으로 지붕에서 떨어지는 우수로부터 기단부를 보호하기 위해 서까래는 기단선 이상으로 내밀어져야 하며 이 때 떨어지는 낙수 등을 처리하기 위해서는 상기한 시설들이 설치되었던 것으로 판단된다. 본 고에서는 이 시설을 낙수받이로 명명하였다. 기 발굴조사된 5~7세기의 한국, 중국, 일본 목탑지 검토를 통해 6세기에 조영된 백제 목탑지와 7세기에 조영된 신라~통일신라 목탑지에서 낙수받이를 확인할 수 있었다. 백제의 경우 6세기에 조영된 군수리사지, 능산리사지, 왕흥사지 목탑지에서 낙수받이가 설치되었으며, 특히 왕흥사지 목탑지의 경우 기단토의 굴광 범위가 당초 백제시대의 기단으로 보이는 부분까지 실시되어 일본 초기 목탑지에서 확인된 경우와 유사하다. 목탑지 조영에는 고려척이 사용되었고 서까래내밀기를 검토하기 위해 평면을 복원한 결과 기단부 길이: 일층탑신 길이:어칸:퇴간의 비례는 군수리사지와 왕흥사지 목탑지가 4.9:2.7:1:0.9로 동일하게 나타났으며 왕흥사지 목탑지에서는 다소 차이가 있으나 군수리사지 목탑지와 왕흥사지 목탑지의 주망관계는 어칸 2.49m, 퇴칸 2.14m로 동일하게 나타나 당시 목탑 조영에 있어서 일정한 척도 적용 및 계획이 있었던 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 7세기에 들어서면서 용정리사지, 제석사지, 미륵사지 등 전사기는 다른 대형 기단부를 가진 목탑지가 출현하면서 더 이상 낙수받이가 설치되지 않았던 것으로 판단된다. 신라~통일신라 목탑지의 경우 영묘사지, 황룡사지, 사천왕사지 목탑지에서 낙수받이가 설치되었을 것으로 판단하였다. 영묘사지 목탑지의 경우 폭 1.8m 할석렬이, 황룡사지 목탑지는 제2탑구석의 범위가, 사천왕사지 목탑지에서는 하층기단 지대석의 설치 형상이 능산리사지 목탑지와 유사함을 검토하여 낙수받이임을 확인하였다. 신라~통일신라 목탑지는 그 조영 자체가 7세기에 들어오면서 시작되어 초기에는 비교적 목탑의 구성요소를 충실히 표현하였지만 사천왕사지 목탑지 조영 시점을 경계로 이러한 낙수받이는 더 이상 확인되지 않는다.

The interaction between land surface and atmosphere is essentially affected by hydrometeorological variables including soil moisture. Accurate estimation of soil moisture at spatial and temporal scales is crucial to better understand its roles to the weather systems. The KLDAS(Korea Land Data Assimilation System) is a regional, specifically Korea peninsula land surface information systems. As other prior land data assimilation systems, this can provide initial soil field information which can be used in atmospheric simulations. For this study, as an enabling high-resolution tool, weather research and forecasting(WRF-ARW) model is applied to produce precipitation data using GFS(Global Forecast System) with GFS embedded and KLDAS soil moisture information as initialization data. WRF-ARW generates precipitation data for a specific region using different parameters in physics options. The produced precipitation data will be employed for simulations of Hydrological Models such as HEC(Hydrologic Engineering Center) - HMS(Hydrologic Modeling System) as predefined input data for selected regional water responses. The purpose of this study is to show the impact of a hydrometeorological variable such as soil moisture in KLDAS on hydrological consequences in Korea peninsula. The study region, Chongmi River Basin, is located in the center of Korea Peninsular. This has 60.8Km river length and 17.01% slope. This region mostly consists of farming field however the chosen study area placed in mountainous area. The length of river basin perimeter is 185Km and the average width of river is 9.53 meter with 676 meter highest elevation in this region. We have four different observation locations : Sulsung, Taepyung, Samjook, and Sangkeug observatoriesn, This watershed is selected as a tentative research location and continuously studied for getting hydrological effects from land surface information. Simulations for a real regional storm case(June 17~ June 25, 2006) are executed. WRF-ARW for this case study used WSM6 as a micro physics, Kain-Fritcsch Scheme for cumulus scheme, and YSU scheme for planetary boundary layer. The results of WRF simulations generate excellent precipitation data in terms of peak precipitation and date, and the pattern of daily precipitation for four locations. For Sankeug observatory, WRF overestimated precipitation approximately 100 mm/day on July 17, 2006. Taepyung and Samjook display that WRF produced either with KLDAS or with GFS embedded initial soil moisture data higher precipitation amounts compared to observation. Results and discussions in detail on accuracy of prediction using formerly mentioned manners are going to be presented in 2011 Annual Conference of the Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation.

한국산 황어아과 어류의 많은 표본을 국내 여러 하천에서 채집하여 검토한 결과 모두 7속 12종으로 동정되어 이들의 검색표와 동종이명을 제시하고 기재하였다. 종전에 국내에서 Moroco lagowskii와 OP-sariichthys bidens로 기록되었던 것은 표본과 문헌 검토 결과 M. steindachneri와 O. uncirostris amurensis의 학명을 사용하는 것이 타당하다고 생각되었다. 한국산 Aphyocypris chinensis는 중국산 표본 기재에 비해서 두장이 현저하게 크고, 미타장이 짧아 분류학적으로 주목된다. 한국 고유종인 M. keumgang의 두골과 Weberian apparatus를 기재하고, 황어아과 여러 속의 특징과 비교하였데, 그 가운데 Aphyocypris 속의 수개형질(frontal, infraorbital 및 trigeminofacialis foramen 등)이 다른 여러 속에 비하여 아주 특이하였다. 핵형은 3가지 양상을 나타내었으나 (2n=50: T. hakonensis, P. phoxinus, M. oxycephalus, M. steindachneri, M. keumgang; 2n=48: Z. platypus, Z. temminckii, A. chinensis; 2n=76: O. u. amurensis), 염색체배수나 종내염색체다형현상은 보이지 않았다. 전기영동에 의한 14개 유전자의 종간근연관계의 분석은 P. phoxinus와 A. chinensis가 다른 분류군과 유전적으로 구분되었다. 본 연구에서는 황어아과 어류의 계통관계에 대하여 논의하였고, 한국산 황어아과를 1) Zacco, Opsariichthys, Tribolodon, phoxinus, Morco의 5속, 2) Squaliobarbus 및 3) Aphyocypris의 3 group으로 구분되었다.
