$Nb_3Sn$ 복합초전도 테이프는 금속간 화합물로서 다른 초전도 재료에 비하여 임계밀도가 높아 MRI등에 널리 이용되고 있다. 한편 $Nb_3Sn$층은 화합물이므로 bending이나 winding등의 코아 제작시 테이프 도체에 응력이 작용하면 화합물층에 취성으로 인한 크랙이 발생하여 부분적으로 파단이 일어나 임계전류 특성이 열화하며 무응력 상태에 비하여 크게 저하된다. 따라서 이와 같은 $Nb_3Sn$복합초전도 테이프의 실질적인 적용을 위해서는 선재의 제조과정 뿐만 아니라 가동 중에 기계적 응력에 대한$Nb_3Sn$복합 초전도 테이프의 미시적 거동 특성을 필히 이해하여야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출기법(Acoustic Emission)을 이용하여 $Nb_3Sn$ 복합초전도 테이프에 대해서 일정변형속도(constant extension rate)제어로 인장하중이 작용할 경우 발생하는 AE 신호특성과 이에 대응하는 각 화합물층의 미시적 변형거동 특성과의 상관관계를 분석하였다.

This paper describes a contact atomic force microscope (AFM) that can be used for high-speed precision measurements of microstructured surfaces. The AFM is composed of an air-bearing X stage, an air-bearing spindle with the axis of rotation in the Z direction, and an AFM probe unit. The traversing distance and maximum speed of the X stage are 300 mm and 400 mm/s, respectively. The spindle has the ability to hold a sample in a vacuum chuck with a maximum diameter of 130 mm and has a maximum rotation speed of 300 rpm. The bandwidth of the AFM probe unit in an open loop control circuit is more than 40 kHz. To achieve precision measurements of microstructured surfaces with slopes, a scanning strategy combining constant height measurements with a slope compensation technique is proposed. In this scanning strategy, the Z direction PZT actuator of the AFM probe unit is employed to compensate for the slope of the sample surface while the microstructures are scanned by the AFM probe at a constant height. The precision of such a scanning strategy is demonstrated by obtaining profile measurements of a microstructure surface at a series of scanning speeds ranging from 0.1 to 20.0 mm/s.

Coronary artery disease is on the rise over the world. Myocardial perfusion SPECT is a well established technique to detect coronary artery disease and to assess left ventricular function. In addition, it has the unique ability to predict the prognosis of the patients. Moreover, the application of ECC-gated images provided the quantitatve data and improved the accuracy. This approach has been proved to be cost-effective and suitable for the emerging economies as well as developed countries. However, the utilization of nuclear cardiology procedures vary widely considering the different countries and region of the world. Korea exits 2-3 times less utilization than Japan, and 20 times than the United States. Recently, with the emerging of new technology, namely cardiac CT, cardiac MR and stress echocardiography, the clinical usefulness of nuclear cardiology has been called in question and its role has been redefined. For the proper promotion of nuclear cardiology, special educations should be conducted since the nuclear cardiology has the contact points between nuclear medicine and cardiology. Several innovations are in horizon which will impact the diagnostic accuracy as well as imaging time and cost savings. Development of new tracers, gamma camera technology and hybrid systems will open the new avenue in cardiac imaging. The future of nuclear cardiology based on molecular imaging is very exciting. The newly defined biologic targets involving atherosclerosis and vascular vulnerability will allow the answers for the key clinical questions. Hybrid techniques including SPECT/CT indicate the direction in which clinical nuclear cardiology may be headed in the immediate future. To what extent nuclear cardiology will be passively absorbed by other modalities, or will actively incorporate other modalities, is up to the present and next generation of nuclear cardiologists.

본 논문에서는 다각형 기반 윤곽선 부호화를 위한 새로운 정점 선택 기법을 제안한다. 객체의 모양을 효율적으로 표현하기 위해서 정점 선택 과정에서 기존의 최대 거리 척도뿐만 아니라 곡률 정보를 이용한다. 제안된 기법은 두 단계 과정으로 구성되어 있다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 곡률이 큰 윤곽선 화소들을 CSS (curvature scale space)를 이용하여 키 정점(key vortices)으로 선택한다. 이 점들은 객체의 윤곽선을 여러 개의 부분 윤곽선(contour segment)들로 나누며, 각 부분 윤곽선은 양 끝점이 인접한 두 개의 키 정점인 하나의 열린 윤곽선으로 독립적으로 처리된다. 두 번째 단계에서는 각각의 부분 윤곽선에서 주어진 허용 오차(D/sub max//sup */)를 만족하면서 최소 개수의 정점을 선택하기 위해 순차적 정점 선택 기법을 이용하여 정점을 선택한다. 그리고 선택된 정점들은 오차 영역 면에서 최적의 위치를 찾기 위해 동적 프로그래밍(DP : dynamic programming) 기법을 사용하여 조정된다. 제안된 기법과 기존의 기법들의 근사 성능을 비교하기 위해 실험 결과를 제시한다.

Chinese cabbage is a staple food to Korean, which has the high degree of self-sufficiency and worldwide breeding technique in the aspect of seed. However, the producers' competitiveness has been decreasing after the agricultural product market was open. In order to cope with this problem, the government introduced some policies for promoting seed industry in 2007 to reflect producer's needs for high quality seeds of Chinese cabbage. These policies will be a good opportunity for producers to secure and promote the producers' competitiveness against low-price importing Chinese cabbage. In this aspect it is very important to know how well these policies are established and what Chinese cabbage farmers want in regard to a new variety of Chinese cabbage seed. This study was carried out to look over the Chinese cabbage producers' using pattern about a new variety of seed and show some directions for efficient way of diffusion of a new variety of seed to producers using a survey research. The main results are as follows. The producers thought the characteristics of a new variety of seed most important factor compared to other factors such as the seed price, and easiness of cabbage sales when they choose a seed. Also, the 65% of respondents were willing to accept a new variety of seed and thought the government support for an exhibition field and diffusing public information about a new variety of Chinese cabbage seed are important in accepting a new variety of seed.

인도네시아 파시르 탄광에서는 전형적으로 일자유면 발파방법이 사용되고 있다. 일자유면 발파방법은 지표면을 유일한 자유면으로 한 발파법이므로 구속이 커서 화약의 에너지가 저항선의 파괴보다는 지반진동의 유발에 더 많이 소모된다 따라서 파시르 탄광에서 현재 적용되는 일자유면 발파방법은 노천광산에서 일반적으로 적용되는 이자유면 발파인 계단발파에 비해 더 큰 지반진동을 유발시킬 수 있다. 더욱이 파시르 탄광의 경우 노천채굴적의 양안이 연약사면으로 이루어져 있어 발파진동은 이들 사면들의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 발파진동과는 별도로 일자유면 발파는 본래 저항선이 하나뿐이므로 암반파괴의 측면에서도 발파효율이 좋지 않다. 따라서 파시르 탄광이 안고 있는 현안문제를 해결할 목적으로 진동제어와 발파효율을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 발파공법에 대한 연구가 착수되었다. 이 연구의 일환으로 파시르 탄광에서의 현행 발파공 법과 광산개발에 대한 현장조사가 수행되었으며 / 본 논문에서는 현장조사 과정에서 얻어진 결과들 가운데 향후 새로운 발파공법으로의 전환과정에서 반드시 준수되어야 할 공법설계의 지침을 제시하였다.

Purpose: In the traumatic anterior shoulder instability, the laxity of joint capsule and ligament is frequently demonstrated. Although a arthroscopic procedure to address anterior instability with joint capsular redundancy have generally provided good results, its recurrence rate is higher than open procedure. By reducing the capsular redundancy, thermal shrinkage is likely to improve the outcome of arthroscopic anterior stabilization. The objective of this study was to evaluate additional thermal capsular shrinkage as a treatment of joint capsular redundancy in anterior shoulder instability. Materials and Methods: From March 1999 to June 2000, 25 shoulders of 23 patients of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with shrinkage procedure. The mean follow up was 29 months and average age at the time of operation was 26 years. Of these patients, 20 were male and 3 were female who had been experienced the average 8 times of dislocation before operation. Thermal shrinkage alone without Bankart repair was performed in two cases who did not have Bankart lesion. The clinical result was evaluated in according to Modified Rowe Score. Results: The Modified Rowe Score was improved from preoperative 35 points to postoperative 88 points. None of cases showed recurrence of dislocation. But, in two cases, temporary sensory hypesthesia of the axillary nerve was developed and in two cases of postoperative stiffness, arthroscopic capsular release and brisement were performed. Conclusion: Additional capsular shrinkage in arthroscopic technique to address recurrent anterior shoulder instability could treat effectively the capsular redundancy.

Purpose: Many different operative technique of mid-shaft clavicle fracture have been reported. The aim of this prospective study was to compare the results of anterior or anterior-inferior plating with superior plating on the acute mid-shaft fracture of clavicle Materials and Methods: From February1997 to February 2002, thirty-eight consecutive open reduction and internal fixation with reconstruction plates were performed in thirty-eight patients. from August 1999, anterior or anterior-inferior plating was mainly used, prospectively. The duration of follow-up averaged 17 months (range,23 to 43 months). The mean age was 38 years old (range,21 to 57 years old) on anterior or anterior-inferior plating group and 35 years old (range,24 to 55 years old) on superior plating group. The physician progress note, VAS patient complement score, Roentgenogram and ASES score was evaluated. Results: Four patients were lost to follow-up. There was no statistical difference on mean radiological bone union time （8.7 weeks vs. 8.6 weeks) and ASES score (92 vs 94) at inferior and superior plating groups (P > 0.05). VAS patient complement score was very good or excellent on anterior or anterior-inferior group, average score was 1.1 (ranger,0 to 2) compare with superior plating group (P < 0.05). There were two cases of infection, 1 case of failed fixation on superior plating group and 1 case of delayed union on anterior inferior plating group. Conclusion: Anterior inferior plating on acute clavicle midshaft fracture results in excellent patient complement score compare with conventional superior reconstruction plate.

A novel chromosomal gene tagging technique using a specific fragment of the fatty acid desaturase-like open reading frame (des-like ORF) from the tox-argK gene cluster of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola was developed to identify Xanthomonas spp.released into the environment as biocontrol agents. X. campestris pv. convolvuli FB-635, a pathogen of Convolvulus arvensis L., (bindweed), was chosen as the organism in which to develop and test the system. A 0.52 kb DES fragment amplified from P. syringae pv. phaseolicola C-199 was inserted into pGX15, a cosmid clone containing a 10.3 kb Eco RI-HindIII fragment derived from the xanthomonadin biosynthetic gene cluster contained in plasmid pIG102, to create a pigG::DES insertion. The 10.8 kb EcoRI-BamHI fragment carrying the pigG:: DES insertion was cloned into pLAFR3 to generate pLXP22. pLXP22 was then conjugated into X. campestris pv. convolvuli FB-635 and the pigG::DES insertion integrated into the bacterial chromosome by marker exchange. Rifampicin resistant, tetracycline sensitive, starch hydrolyzing, white colonies were used to differentiate the marked strain from yellow pigmented wild-type ones. PCR primers specific for the unique DES fragment were used for direct detection of the marked strain. Result showed the marked strain could be detected at very low levels even in the presence of high levels of other closely related or competitive bacteria. This PCR-based DES-tagging system provides a rapid and specific tool for directly monitoring the dispersal and persistence of Xanthomonas spp.released into the environment.
