Organic clays are ideal habitat for flora and fauna. From a geotechnical perspective, organic clays are soft, weak, variable, heterogeneous and flocculated. Portland cement is a universally common stabiliser. However, some organic acids in soil inhibit full hydration and expose cementation products to rapid dissolution. This paper investigates scopes for use of C₃S cement to enable durable cementation. Prospects of using PP fibre alongside with C₃S cement, scopes for partial replacement of C₃S cement with a plant-based nanosilica and evolution of binders are then investigated. Binding mixtures here mimic the natural functions of rhizoliths, amorphous phases, and calcites. Testing sample population include natural and fibre-reinforced clays, compact mixes of clay - C₃S cement, clay - nanobiosilica, and clay, C₃S cement and nanobiosilica. Benefits and constraints of C₃S cement and fibres for retaining the naturally flocculated structure of organic clays are discussed. Nanobiosilica provides an opportunity to cut the C₃S content, and to transition of highly compressive organic clays into an engineered, open-structured medium with >0.5 MPa compressive strength across the strains spanning from peak to 1.5-times peak.

Underground infrastructure systems provide essential public services and goods through buried structures including water and sewer, gas and petroleum, power and communication pipelines. The majority of existing underground infrastructure systems was installed in green field areas prior to development of complex urban built environments. Currently, there is a global trend to escalate major demand for underground infrastructure system renewal and new installation while minimizing disruption and maintaining functions of existing superstructures. Therefore, Engineers and utility owners are rigorously seeking technologies that minimize environmental, social, and economic impact during the renewal and installation process. Trenchless technologies have proven to be socially less disruptive, more environmentally friendly, energy conservative and economically viable alternative methods. All of those benefits are adequate to enhance overall sustainability. This paper describes effective sustainable solutions using trenchless technologies. Sustainability is assessed by a comparison between conventional open cut and trenchless technology methods. Sustainability analysis is based on a broad perspective combining the three main aspects of sustainability: economic; environmental; and social. Economic includes construction cost, benefit, and social cost analysis. Environmental includes emission estimation and environmental quality impact study. Social includes various social impacts on an urban area. This paper summarizes sustainable trenchless technology solutions and presents a sustainable construction method selection process in a proposed framework to be used in urban underground infrastructure capital improvement projects.

Minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIS PD) is a well reported technique with several advantages over conventional open pancreatoduodenectomy. In comparison to distal pancreatectomy, the adoption of MIS PD has been slow due to the technical challenges involved, particularly in the reconstruction phase of the pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis. Hence, we introduce a lowcost model for PJ anastomosis simulation in MIS PD. We fashioned a model of a cut pancreas and limb of jejunum using economical and easily accessible materials comprising felt fabric and the modelling compound, Play-Doh. Surgeons can practice MIS PJ suturing using this model to help mount their individual learning curve for PJ creation. Our video demonstrates that this model can be utilized in simulation practice mimicking steps during live surgery. Our model is a cost-effective and easily replicable tool for surgeons looking to simulate MIS PJ creation in preparation for MIS PD.

Background: Radiofrequency has seen an increase in use in orthopedics including cartilage lesion debridement in the hip and knee as well as many applications in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the safety and usage of radiofrequency in the shoulder. Methods: This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (international registry) and followed the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. Embase and PubMed were searched using: "shoulder," "rotator cuff," "biceps," "acromion" AND "monopolar," "bipolar," "ablation," "coblation," and "radiofrequency ablation." The title and abstract review were performed independently. Any discrepancies were addressed through open discussion. Results: A total of 63 studies were included. Radiofrequency is currently utilized in impingement syndrome, fracture fixation, instability, nerve injury, adhesive capsulitis, postoperative stiffness, and rotator cuff disease. Adverse events, namely superficial burns, are limited to case reports and case series, with higher-level evidence demonstrating safe use when used below the temperature threshold. Bipolar radiofrequency may decrease operative time and decrease the cost per case. Conclusions: Shoulder radiofrequency has a wide scope of application in various shoulder pathologies. Shoulder radiofrequency is safe; however, requires practitioners to be cognizant of the potential for thermal burn injuries. Bipolar radiofrequency may represent a more efficacious and economic treatment modality. Safety precautions have been executed by institutions to cut down patient complications from shoulder radiofrequency. Future research is required to determine what measures can be taken to further minimize the risk of thermal burns.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of direct class II sandwich restoration with packable composites(P-60), resin modified glass ionomer cement(Fuji-II LC), flowable compomer(Dyract Flow), flowable composites(Filtek Flow) in comparison with total bond restorations. In addition, for sandwich restorations, influence of different sandwich techniques was also evaluated. Large butt-joint box typed class II cavites with cervical margins 1mm below the cemento-enamel junction were cut into 70 extracted human molars. The cavities(7 groups, n=10) were filled using a closed/open sandwich restoration or total bond restoration technique with materials according to the manufacturer's recommandation using the single-component bonding agent for each system. Teeth were thermocycled 500 times between 5$^{\circ}C$ and 55$^{\circ}C$ with 30-second dwell time. The teeth were then coated with nail polish 1mm short of the restoration, placed in a 2% methylene blue for 24 hours, and sectioned with diamond wheel. Sections were examined with a stereoscope to determine the extent of microleakage. Dentine /Cementum margins were analyzed for microleakage on scale of 0(no leakage) to 4(entire axial wall) and interface between materials, on scale of 0(no leakage) to 3(axial wall). Results were evaluated with Kruskal Wallis Test, corrected for ties, to determine whether there were statistically significant differences among the seven groups. Pairs of groups were analyzed using the Student-Newman-Keuls Method and Dunn s Method. The results were as follows : 1. All groups showed some micoleakage in cervical portion. But there were no microleakage in interface between materials. 2. Closed sandwich restorations with Fuji-II LC and Filtek Flow had significantly lower leakage rating than total restorations with only P-60. However, open sandwich restorations with Dyract Flow showed significantly higher (P<0.05) 3. Closed sandwich restorations had significantly lower leakage rating than total restorations. However open sandwich restoration s showed significantly higher (P<0.05). 4. Sandwich restorations with Fuji-II LC were iou$.$or leakage than only P-60. Filtek Flow, Dyract Flow. But there were no statistically differences among the materials. From the results above, it could be concluded, closed sandwich restorations was effective in reducing microleakage of class II restorations. The best results showing the least microleakage were for the closed sandwich technique with Fuji-II LC and Filtek Flow.

천이 모형과 같이 임분 교란 후 수관 닫힘 단계까지의 다양한 생태적 특성 변화에 관한 많은 연구가 있으나 우리나라는 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있지 않다. 본 연구는 강원도 남부 소나무림 개벌 후 임분 구조, 환경 및 하층식생 풍부성의 경시적 변화 추이를 발달 단계별(1yr, 3yr, 10yr 및 16yr)로 분석하였다. 임분구조 분석 결과, 벌채 후, 평균 줄기 밀도는 16yr에 $5,714{\pm}645$ stems/ha 까지 점차 증가하였고, 평균 기저면적 역시 10yr에 $5.5{\pm}0.7m^2/ha$, 그리고 이후 $16yr(10.0{\pm}1.6m^2/ha)$)까지 거의 두 배로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 숲 바닥의 나무 잔해 및 토양 노출도는 16yr의 11% 및 3yr의 10.3%에서 각각 최고점을 나타낸 후 감소하는 경향이었다. 하층식생 피도는 16년 동안의 임분구조 발달에 따라 모든 생육형에서 모두 감소하는 경향이었으나, 광엽 초본의 종풍부도는 반대로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히, 임분의 상층식생 발달은 하층 식생 속성을 억누르기 보다는 필터 역할과 같이 선택적 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되었다. 본 연구와 더불어 보다 세밀한 생태 속성 변화를 관찰하기 위해서는 임분의 초기 발달 패턴과 과정에 대한 연속 모니터링이 중요하다.

This study was done to evaluate the effect reducing artificial dead space on intubated children. Data were collected from July 1st, 1998 to August 31st, 1999. The subjects were selected from a pediatric intensive care unit of 'S' hospital and intubated with 3.5 mm or 4.5 mm endotracheal tube after open heart surgery. They were composed of 34 patients : 17 patients were assigned to the experimental group and the rest of them were placed in the control group. The artificial airway volume was minimized in the experimental group, and the control group maintained the artificial airway volume. ETCO2, PaCO2, SPO2 were measured as indicators of pulmonary ventilation. The tools of this study were GEM-Premier and Space-Lab patient monitors. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/PC+ program. The $\chi$2 -test was used to find general characteristics. The t-test was used to test the homogenety of the pulmonary ventilation status and mechanical ventilation setting before intervention between the two groups. Also, the paired t-test was used to examine the hypothesis. The results can be summerized as : 1. CO2 can be expelled effectively from the body in case artificial dead space was decreased. 2. As the artificial dead space was reduced, the difference between ETCO2 and PaCO2 was decreased, in other words pulmonary ventilation was improved. 3. If the artificial dead space occupied above 15 percent of tidal volume, the effect of CO2 was retention revealed in the body. 4. If the artificial dead space occupied below effect. Based on the results, the following is suggested to be applied practically : 1. A kind of the ventilator circuit acting artificial dead space should be removed from the intubated children with mechanical ventilaion. 2. The endotracheal tube should not be cut because extra-body space of the endotracheal tube did not have an effect on the dead space of the intubated children. Since the researcher could not cover this aspect in the study, they recommend the following. 1. The study should be extended to the other pulmonary disease patients for the effect of improving pulmonary ventilation. 2. Also, further studying with a more narrow interval in the extra-body space of the artificial airway will be able to explain the point of artificial dead space with proper ventilation.

1986년 6월부터 8월사이에 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 시행된 개심술 환자 25명(체중 5.1kg~54.0kg)에서 충전액내의 혈당치가 100 mg% 이하인 2예에서만 포도당을 혼합하고 그 외에는 포도당을 혼합하지 않고 만든 인공심폐기의 충전액을 사용한 저체온하 체외순환시 혈당과 전해질치의 변화를 관찰하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 체외순환전 충전액의 혈당치는 $151.6{\pm}31.3$ mg%였다. 2) 마취유도후의 채취혈에서 환자의 혈당치는 $93.3{\pm}16.9$ mg%이었으며 부분체외순환이 시작되어 환자의 혈액과 충전액이 혼합된후의 혈당치는 $135.9{\pm}26.9$ mg%이었다. 3) 체외순환중 혈당치는 하강함에 따라 점차 증가되어 전체외순환 90분후에는 $224.0{\pm}25.0$ mg%로 부분체외순환시 혈당치인 $135.9{\pm}26.9$ mg%보다 현저하게 증가되었으며(P<0.005) 체외순환종료시에는 1시간후에는 $151.8{\pm}31.6$ mg%로 체외순환 90분후 보다는 낮았으나(P<0.05), 부분 체외순환시 보다는 높았으며(P<0.05) 체외순환기간이 길수록 혈당치는 증가되었으나 나이와 질환에 따른 차이는 없었다. 4) 혈청 $K^+$ 치는 전체외순환 60분 후에는 $2.9{\pm}0.4mEq/L$로 부분체외순환시의 $3.3{\pm}0.6mEq/L$보다 낮게 유지되었으며(P<0.05) 체외 순환종료 후에는 점차 증가되었고 혈청 Ca++ 치는 체외순환중에는 높게 유지되었나 체외순환 후에는 점차 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어보아 충전액에 다량의 포도당용액을 관례적으로 사용하는 것보다는 저장전혈의 혼합에 따른 충전액내의 포도당치를 계산한 후 필요에 따라 포도당액을 추가하는 것이 저체온체외순환 중의 고혈당증을 예방할 수 있는 타당한 방법으로 생각되며 앞으로 충전액에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
