Gastric bezoars are concretion of undigested material in the gastrointestinal tract. In the past, gastric bezoars were generally treated with surgical management. Recently, the efficacy of oral intake or endoscopic injection therapy with Coca-Cola has been reported. We report a case of a 47-year-old-man with huge gastric bezoar ($4{\times}2.5$ cm) that was successfully removed by endoscopic fragmentation with Coca-Cola injection. Compared with a single endoscopic fragmentation therapy, the combination therapy with Coca-Cola injection shortened the procedure time and reduced the complication associated with fragmented bezoar.

최근 현실의 이미지나 배경에 3차원 가상 이미지를 겹쳐서 하나의 영상으로 보여주는 증강현실 기술들이 개발되고 있으며, 특히 애플리케이션에 따른 증강현실기반의 소프트웨어 들이 많이 개발되어 지고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 증강현실 기반의 애플리케이션은 GPS를 사용하여 사용자에게 서비스를 제공하는데, GPS값이 정확하지 않아 위치에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 GPS 기능과 지자기, 자이로, 가속도 센서를 통한 방향감지 인식을 포함하여 증강현실 기반의 애플리케이션을 개발하여 위치에 대한 신뢰도를 증가하고자 한다. 특히, 캠퍼스 가이드 서비스 애플리케이션을 개발하여 기존의 다른 애플리케이션의 문제점을 개선하고자 한다.

In general, there has been a lot of research concerned about the gear noise known to be proportional to gear transmission error for external gears likewise spur, helical gear, and hypoid gears. But, In the case of planetary gear set, gear noise study is insufficient because of the difficulty of designing, manufacturing, and understanding of its mechanical system. This study is aimed to develop the transmission error measurement equipment for the planetary gear sets used in the automatic transmission. By comparing the results of the transmission error and noise objectively, user could select the optimized planetary gear set which has quiet noise level before manufacturing the automatic transmission.

Eleven compounds (1-11) were isolated from the rhizomes of Osmunda japonica, and their structures were elucidated based on $^1H$, $^{13}C-NMR$ and LC-IT-TOF MS data. Of these compounds, all compounds (1 - 11) have been previously reported, although five (6 - 9, 11) have not previously been isolated from this plant. The antioxidant activities of isolated compounds (1 - 11) were measured by DPPH and ABTS assays, and compound 10 showed the high antioxidant activity.

The nitrogen-laser flash photolysis apparatus has been set up to detect directly the transient produced from the excited Benoxaprofen (BXP). The function of the instrument has been tested by using anthracene as a standard sample. The laser photoexcitation of BXP in ethanol has been carried out under a constant stream of $N_2$ gas and a transient absorption spectrurn has been recorded over the 400-600 nm. The effects of oxygen and ${\beta}-carotene$ on the transient spectrum reveal that thee maximum transient absorption at 415 nm is attributed to the triplet state of BXP and the triplet energy of BXP is above 22 Kcal/mole. In addition to the triplet state, another transient species has been observed to be produced, which is probably a radical form of BXP. The photosensitization mechanism of BXP is discussed based on these results.

Product-service system (PSS) is a novel type of business model integrating products and services in a single system. It provides a strategic alternative to product-oriented economic growth and price-based competition in the global market. This paper first reviews the current status of PSS, including its concept, characteristics, benefits, and cases. This paper then reviews the existing literature and identifies major research issues for three main phases of a PSS development lifecycle, namely, PSS design, PSS evaluation, and PSS operation. This research is expected to contribute to promoting awareness and improving understanding of PSS in our society and planning of future research in this field.

최근 기후변화로 인하여 전 세계적으로 과거 강우사상에서 확인되지 않는 극치사상이 빈번하게 관측되고 있으며 이에 따른 피해도 증가하고 있다. 미래의 기상학적 변동성 및 기후변화 영향은 지구순환모형 (General Circulation Models, GCM)을 통해 구체화되며 가장 일반적인 기후변화 전망자료로서 활용된다. 그러나 산정된 기후변화 시나리오마다 서로 그 특성에 차이가 있으며 이러한 이유로 다양한 원인으로 인해 큰 변동성을 가지는 미래 극치강우를 하나의 시나리오로 분석하기에는 무리가 있다. 또한 다양한 시나리오를 통해 분석한 결과값이 상이하며 이러한 시나리오별 산정 결과의 차이는 사용자에게 혼란을 야기할 수 있어 이를 하나의 결과로 나타낼 필요성이 있으나 정량적인 대푯값을 얻기 위해 특정 시나리오를 선택하는 것은 신뢰성에 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 시나리오들을 정량적 지표에 의거하여 혼합된 하나의 시나리오로 표출하고자 하였다. CORDEX-RCMs 시나리오 중 HadGEM3-RA, RegCM, SNU_WRF 및 GRIMs를 입력 자료로 하여 다중모형앙상블(Multi-Model Ensemble, MME)을 통해 낙동강 유역의 극치강우에 대한 하나의 최적 기후변화 시나리오를 도출하고자 하였으며 계층적 베이지안 (Hierarchical Bayesian Model, HBM) 기법을 통하여 기후변화 시나리오에 내제된 불확실성에 대한 정량적인 해석을 수행하였다.

In order to improve the oxidative resistance of carbon/carbon composites, aluminium-isopropoxide and aluminium-tri-sec-butoxide sol were coated on the surface of 2D--carbon/carbon composiles and the effects uf coating were investigated. The effects of oxidative resistance were dominant in the case of catalyst/alkoxide mole ratio, 0.07, and $H_2O$/alkoxide mole ratio, 100. Through the dynamic TGA analysis with the heating rate of 20%/min, oxidative initiation tempera~ ture was enhanced about $80^{\circ}C$. The oxidative resistance effects of alkoxide sol were improved according to the times of coating. Also the 20% weight loss time of coated samples by TGA analysis was 20% better than that of un~ coated samples. The thickness of 1^{st} coated layer was about 3${\mu}$m and that of $2^{nd}$ and $3^{nd}$ coated layers was about respectively 4~5${\mu}$m and the weight loss were increased with the increasing of thermal shock test times.

A novel ${\beta}-glucosidase$ gene, bglA, was isolated from uncultured soil bacteria and characterized. Using genomic libraries constructed from soil DNA, a gene encoding a protein that hydrolyzes a fluorogenic analog of cellulose, 4-methylumbelliferyl ${\beta}-D-cellobioside$ (MUC), was isolated using a microtiter plate assay. The gene, bglA, was sequenced using a shotgun approach, and expressed in E. coli. The deduced 55-kDa amino acid sequence for bglA showed a 56% identity with the family 1 glycosyl hydrolase Chloroflexus aurantiacus. BglA included two conserved family 1 glycosyl hydrolase regions. When using $p-nitrophenyl-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (pNPG) as the substrate, the maximum activity of the purified ${\beta}-glucosidase$ exhibited at pH 6.5 and $55^{\circ}C$, and was enhanced in the presence of $Mn^{2+}$. The $K_m\;and\;V_{max}$ values for the purified enzyme with pNPG were 0.16 mM and $19.10{\mu}mol/min$, respectively. The purified BglA enzyme hydrolyzed both pNPG and $p-nitrophenyl-{\beta}-D-fucoside$. The enzyme also exhibited substantial glycosyl hydrolase activities with natural glycosyl substrates, such as sophorose, cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, and cellopentaose, yet low hydrolytic activities with gentiobiose, salicin, and arbutin. Moreover, BglA was able to convert the major ginsenoside $Rb_1$ into the pharmaceutically active minor ginsenoside Rd within 24 h.

In the present study, surface of laccase producing Ceriporia lacerata was modified using 4-bromobutyryl chloride and polyethylenimine. The modified biomass was freeze dried and utilized as a biosorbent for the removal of Ni(II) from aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of the biosorbent were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Batch experiments were carried out as a function of contact time (0-60 min), pH (2 to 8), adsorbent dosage (25-150 mg), and initial Ni(II) concentration (25-125 mg/L). The results indicate that surface modified biosorbent effectively adsorbed (9.5 mg/0.1 g biomass) Ni(II) present in the solution. The equilibrium adsorption data were modeled with different kinetic and isotherm models. The Ni(II) adsorption followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (R² = 0.998) and Langmuir isotherm (R² = 0.994) model. Hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups present in biomass play a major role in the adsorption of Ni(II). The adsorbed Ni(II) from the biosorbent was successfully desorbed (85%) by 1M HCl. The results of the study indicate that the surface modified C. lacerate biomass could be used for the treatment of Ni(II) contaminated ground waters.
