Wound caused by high-tension electrical burns is difficult to manage because the wound is deep and complex. The wound is progressively necrotic due to microvascular injury resulting in deep tissue exposure. So, coverage of the wound at the entry point and the exit point is cumbersome, often requiring flap coverage. We experienced a case of one patient for peroneal artery perforator free flap coverage on the palm of the right hand of the entry point of electrical burn. The left foot wound of electrical exit point was covered by full thickness skin graft. Also a small wound was on the left side of the lower back was the exit point of electrical burn. The lower back wound was healed and recurred repeatedly after burn. On postburn day 6 month, through the radiologic exam, metal shadow was identified in the left gluteus muscle forming chronic sinus. We explored the wound of sinus and a foreign body was identified in the sac as multi braid wires thin as hair. According to the patient's past history, we suspected that the back wound was caused by electrical burn injury through the wires.

Lactobacillus is a commonly used probiotic, and many researchers have focused on its stress response to improve its functionality and survival. However, studies on persister cells, dormant cells that aid bacteria in surviving general stress, have focused on pathogenic bacteria that cause infection, not Lactobacillus. Thus, understanding Lactobacillus persister cells will provide essential clues for understanding how Lactobacillus survives and maintains its function under various environmental conditions. We treated Lactobacillus strains with various antibiotics to determine the conditions required for persister formation using kill curves and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, we observed the resuscitation patterns of persister cells using single-cell analysis. Our results show that Lactobacillus creates a small population of persister cells (0.0001-1% of the bacterial population) in response to beta-lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin and amoxicillin. Moreover, only around 0.5-1% of persister cells are heterogeneously resuscitated by adding fresh media; the characteristics are typical of persister cells. This study provides a method for forming and verifying the persistence of Lactobacillus and demonstrates that antibiotic-induced Lactobacillus persister cells show characteristics of dormancy, sensitivity of antibiotics, same as exponential cells, multi-drug tolerance, and resuscitation, which are characteristics of general persister cells. This study suggests that the mechanisms of formation and resuscitation may vary depending on the characteristics, such as the membrane structure of the bacterial species.

Galaxy transition from star-forming to quiescent, accompanied with morphology transformation, is one of the key unresolved issues in extragalactic astronomy. Although several environmental mechanisms have been proposed, a deeper understanding of the impact of environment on galaxy transition still requires much exploration. My Ph.D. thesis focuses on which environmental mechanisms are primarily responsible for galaxy transition in different environments and looks at what happens during the transition phase using multi-wavelength photometric/spectroscopic data, from UV to mid-infrared (MIR), derived from several large surveys (GALEX, SDSS, and WISE) and our GMOS-North IFU observations. Our multi-wavelength approach provides new insights into the *late* stages of galaxy transition with a definition of the MIR green valley different from the optical green valley. I will present highlights from three areas in my thesis. First, through an in-depth study of environmental dependence of various properties of galaxies in a nearby supercluster A2199 (Lee et al. 2015), we found that the star formation of galaxies is quenched before the galaxies enter the MIR green valley, which is driven mainly by strangulation. Then, the morphological transformation from late- to early-type galaxies occurs in the MIR green valley. The main environmental mechanisms for the morphological transformation are galaxy-galaxy mergers and interactions that are likely to happen in high-density regions such as galaxy groups/clusters. After the transformation, early-type MIR green valley galaxies keep the memory of their last star formation for several Gyr until they move on to the next stage for completely quiescent galaxies. Second, compact groups (CGs) of galaxies are the most favorable environments for galaxy interactions. We studied MIR properties of galaxies in CGs and their environmental dependence (Lee et al. 2017), using a sample of 670 CGs identified using a friends-of-friends algorithms. We found that MIR [3.4]-[12] colors of CG galaxies are, on average, bluer than those of cluster galaxies. As CGs are located in denser regions, they tend to have larger early-type galaxy fractions and bluer MIR color galaxies. These trends can also be seen for neighboring galaxies around CGs. However, CG members always have larger early-type fractions and bluer MIR colors than their neighboring galaxies. These results suggest that galaxy evolution is faster in CGs than in other environments and that CGs are likely to be the best place for pre-processing. Third, post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are an ideal laboratory to investigate the details of the transition phase. Their spectra reveal a phase of vigorous star formation activity, which is abruptly ended within the last 1 Gyr. Numerical simulations predict that the starburst, and thus the current A-type stellar population, should be localized within the galaxy's center (< kpc). Yet our GMOS IFU observations show otherwise; all five PSBs in our sample have Hdelta absorption line profiles that extend well beyond the central kpc. Most interestingly, we found a negative correlation between the Hdelta gradient slopes and the fractions of the stellar mass produced during the starburst, suggesting that stronger starbursts are more centrally-concentrated. I will discuss the results in relation with the origin of PSBs.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary multi-strain probiotic (MSP) (Bacillus coagulans Unique IS2 + Bacillus subtillis UBBS14 + Saccharomyces boulardii Unique 28) on performance, gut morphology and expression of nutrient transporter related genes in broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 256 (4×8×8) day-old CARIBRO Vishal commercial broiler chicks of uniform body weight were randomly distributed into four treatments with 8 replicates each and having eight chicks in each replicate. Four dietary treatments were T₁ (negative control-basal diet), T₂ (positive control-antibiotic bacitracin methylene disalicylate at 20 mg/kg diet), T₃ (MSP at 10⁷ colony-forming unit [CFU]/g feed), and T₄ (MSP at 10⁸ CFU/g feed). Results: During 3 to 6 weeks and 0 to 6 weeks, the body weight gain increased significantly (p<0.05) in T₃ and T₄ groups. The feed intake significantly (p<0.05) reduced from T₁ to T₃ during 0 to 3 weeks and the feed conversion ratio also significantly (p<0.05) improved in T₃ and T₄ during 0 to 6 weeks. The humoral and cell mediated immune response and the weight of immune organs were also significantly (p<0.05) improved in T₃ and T₄. However, significant (p<0.05) dietary effects were observed on intestinal histo-morphometry of ileum in T₃ followed by T₄ and T₂. At 14 d post hatch, the relative gene expression of glucose transporter (GLUT5), sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT₁) and peptide transporter (PepT₁) showed a significant (p<0.05) up-regulating pattern in T₂, T₃, and T₄. Whereas, at 21 d post hatch, the gene expression of SGLT₁ and PepT₁ was significantly (p<0.05) downregulated in MSP supplemented treatments T₃ and T₄. Conclusion: The supplementation of MSP at 10⁷ CFU/g diet showed significant effects with improved performance, immune response, gut morphology and expression of nutrient transporter genes. Thus, the MSP could be a suitable alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in chicken diets.

The article analyzes the features of the formation of a person's value attitude to the worldview by means of information technologies. The present considers it necessary to form a person's value attitude to the perception of the world by means of information technologies. The explosive development of information and telecommunications technologies has become a determining factor in the development of modern society, which is called the information or Global Information Society. It is not yet fully formed, and we are all participants in the development of the Global Information Society. The article considers the basics of a harmonious worldview of a person, which is the basis for the formation of outlook ideas, views, knowledge, beliefs about the surrounding world, which determine the place and role and motivate actions in relation to the surrounding reality through the prism of value orientations. Worldview is considered as an integrity of relatively stable schemes, behaviors, feelings, thinking, vision of the surrounding world, inherent in an individual child, ethno-cultural and socio-cultural groups. The concept of "worldview" as a component of the multi-level structure of the individual's outlook is defined. The features that characterize a person's perception of the world are revealed. The main educational value of information technologies in the formation of a person's value attitude to the perception of the world is highlighted, which consists in the fact that they allow you to create an immeasurable brighter multi-sensory interactive learning environment with almost unlimited potential opportunities that fall at the disposal of both the teacher and the student. The trend of forming a person's value attitude to the perception of the world is clearly developing in the direction of mixed learning as a process that creates a comfortable information educational environment, communication systems that provide all the necessary educational information. The approach to student development by means of the educational environment and the formation, while in the person of a value attitude to the perception of the world by means of Information Technologies, has many pedagogical advantages, which is considered in the article.

This paper proposes a method to extend Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) canceling Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers for 5G mobile systems to spatial multiplexing 2×2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems to support high-speed ground transportation services by linear motor cars traveling at 500 km/h. In Japan, linear-motor high-speed ground transportation service is scheduled to begin in 2027. To expand the coverage area of base stations, 5G mobile systems in high-speed moving trains will have multiple base station antennas transmitting the same downlink (DL) signal, forming an expanded cell size along the train rails. 5G terminals in a fast-moving train can cause the forward and backward antenna signals to be Doppler-shifted in opposite directions, so the receiver in the train may have trouble estimating the exact channel transfer function (CTF) for demodulation. A receiver in such high-speed train sees the transmission channel which is composed of multiple Doppler-shifted propagation paths. Then, a loss of sub-carrier orthogonality due to Doppler-spread channels causes ICI. The ICI Canceller is realized by the following three steps. First, using the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) pilot signals, it analyzes three parameters such as attenuation, relative delay, and Doppler-shift of each multi-path component. Secondly, based on the sets of three parameters, Channel Transfer Function (CTF) of sender sub-carrier number n to receiver sub-carrier number l is generated. In case of n≠l, the CTF corresponds to ICI factor. Thirdly, since ICI factor is obtained, by applying ICI reverse operation by Multi-Tap Equalizer, ICI canceling can be realized. ICI canceling performance has been simulated assuming severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 8 path reverse Doppler Shift for QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM modulations. In particular, 2×2MIMO QPSK and 16QAM modulation schemes, BER (Bit Error Rate) improvement was observed when the number of taps in the multi-tap equalizer was set to 31 or more taps, at a moving speed of 500 km/h and in an 8-pass reverse doppler shift environment.

탄산칼슘 형성세균에 의한 건축물 균열보수 및 그들의 내구성 증진은 기존 화학제에 비해 친환경적이며, 영구적이라는 측면에서 그들의 응용에 대한 연구는 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 그러나 균열복구 기전이 세균의 대사에 의한 calcite crystal 형성과정에서 기인되는 것으로, 대사과정 중 산 형성으로 시멘트 기반 콘크리트 건축물에 대한 위해 가능성 논란이 지속 제기되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 시멘트 모르타르에 대한 생물학적 부식능이 있는 방제대상 미생물을 결정하고 시멘트 콘크리트 건축물에의 안전한 적용을 위한 다기능성 탄산칼슘 형성세균을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 첫째, 건축물에서 분리된 균사형 진균, 효모, 세균 균주들을 대상으로 chalky test를 실시하여 $CaCO_3$에 대한 가용화능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 건축물에서 분리된 세균 균주의 경우 가용화 능이 없는 것으로 평가되었으며, C. sphaerospermum KNUC253 및 P. prolifica KNUC263 균주가 $CaCO_3$에 대한 가용화 활성을 보여, 시멘트 기반 건축물 표면에서 방제되어야 균주로 판단된다. 둘째, 독도 토양 및 건축물에서 분리되어 시멘트 표면 진균생장 억제효과, 시멘트 표면균열을 수복 및 수분 침투력 감소효과가 보고된 특허등록 균주 A. nicotianae KNUC2100, B. thuringiensis KNUC2103, S. maltophilia KNUC2100 및 B. aryabhatti KNUC205들이 $CaCO_3$을 가용화하지 않음을 볼 때 산 형성으로 인한 시멘트 모르타르 주성분인 $CaCO_3$에 대한 위해는 없을 것으로 평가된다. 이에 더하여 그들 중 B. aryabhatti KNUC205, A. nicotianae KNUC2100의 경우 건축소재 열화가능성의 판단근거로 널리 활용되고 있는 bio-degradative assay에서 다양한 고분자물질 구성요소에 대해 활성을 나타내지 않아 다양한 건축환경에 대해 활용 가능성을 보여주었다.

(1) 첫 번째 변형은 동북동-서남서 방향의 압축 지구조 환경에서 발생하여 북북서 방향의 광역엽리와 매우 밀착된 등사습곡을 형성시켰다. 첫 번째 변형 이전의 편마면 내지 편리의 일반적인 방향성은 동북동이었으며 등사습곡작용에 의해 대부분이 북북서 방향으로 재배열되었다. (2) 두 번째 변형은 북북서-남남동 방향의 압축응력하에서 동북동 방향의 광역엽리와 밀착, 등사, 뿌리 없는 층간습곡을 형성시켰다(발생시기: 장군봉지역 평안층군의 동수곡층이 퇴적된 페름기 이후). (3) 세 번째 변형은 우수향 주향이동 연성전단운동에 의해 발생하여 광역 엽리면상에 동북동 방향의 신장선구조와 S-C 압쇄구조를 형성시켰다(상운면지역 중생대 각섬석 화강암이 관입된 이후 -장군봉지역 중생대 춘양화강암이 관입되기 이전). (4) 네 번째 변형은 (동)북동(서)남서 방향의 압축 지구조 환경에서 발생하여 (북)북서 방향의 개방습곡을 형성시켰으며, (5) 다섯 번째 변형은 남-북 방향의 압축 지구조 환경에서 발생하여 북북동 방향과 북북서 방향의 공역성 주향이동 단층과 동서 방향의 충상단층 그리고 이들 단층운동에 수반된 끌림습곡을 형성시켰다. 경상분지의 형성 및 발달과 관련된 네 번째와 다섯 번째 변형구조는 백악기 지구조운동의 결과로 형성되었으며, 이들 변형작용은 광역엽리의 일반적인 동북동 방향성을 부분적으로 재배열시켰다. 동-서 방향의 예천전단대는 연구지역으로 연장되나 연성전단 변형구조는 미약하게 발달한다.

Soil Taxonomy의 새로운 Andisols목 토양의 분류체계에서 토양유기물 함량과 Ammonium oxalate 추출 Al함량과 Fe의 1/2함량의 합은 중요한 기준이다. 제주도는 토양생성환경이 다양하여 Andisols 토양을 포함하여 다양한 토양이 분포하고 있다. 이 논문은 제주도 토양을 대상으로 기후, 식생, 지형 등 여러 가지 환경변수들을 이용하여 토양유기물과 $Al_o+1/2Fe_o$의 함량을 추정할 수 있는 모형을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 토양특성지도를 제작하기 위하여 수행하였다. 조사대상 지역의 321 지점에서 토양을 채취하여 토양유기물과 $Al_o+1/2Fe_o$ 함량을 분석하고, 각 토양시료 채취지점의 온도, 강우, 순일차생산량, 일사량, 증발산량, 해발고도, 토양생성에너지, 지형습윤지수, 주변과의 고도차, 해안과 정상으로부터의 거리 등의 환경변수들을 환경변수 지도를 제작하여 추출하였다. 여러 환경변수 간에는 서로 상관관계가 높게 나타나는 다중공선성을 나타내었으며, 이를 주성분분석에 의한 변수 변환으로 제거하였다. 주성분분석 결과를 바탕으로 변환된 변수들은 산악효과, 식생효과, 복잡 효과 등 3개의 주성분으로 축소할 수 있었고, 이 3개의 변수를 이용하여 토양유기물과 $Al_o+1/2Fe_o$ 함량을 예측할 수 있는 다중회귀모형을 구하였다. 이 모형들은 전체 토양유기물 변이의 52%와 전체 $Al_o+1/2Fe_o$ 변이의 37%를 설명할 수 있었다. 모형을 이용하여 제작된 토양유기물 지도는 토양도를 바탕으로 한 토양유기물 지도와 전체적인 형태에서 매우 유사한 형태를 나타내었다. 따라서 환경요인은 제주도 토양의 분포에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었고, 정량화할 수 있는 환경요인을 이용하여 토양특성지도를 제작할 수 있음을 구명하였다.
