This study was conducted to evaluate potential weed control in organic farming field using false seedbed and stale seedbed techniques. The experiment was conducted in open upland fields during spring and fall crop seasons. The false seedbed was prepared before 2-4 weeks of crop culture and was treated with shallow tillage or flame weeding before transplanting. The weed suppression rates of false seedbed treatment in the spring crop experiments for Chinese cabbage, soybean, hot pepper and corn were 65-73%, 50-55%, 9-55% and 8-33%, respectively. According to crop growth and yield in this experiment, the false seedbed technique has some potential weed control for Chinese cabbage, soybean and corn. The weed suppression rates of stale seedbed treatments in the fall crop experiments for Chinese cabbage, spinach and carrot were 18-39%, 40-77% and 37-38%, respectively. Weed control efficacy of the stale seedbed in this study was lower, when compared with false seedbed.

Ocean remote sensing reflectance of just above water level was modeled using inherent optical properties of seawater contents, total absorption (a) and backscattering(bb) coefficients ($R_{rs}$=0.046 $b_b$/(a+$b_b$). This modeling was based on the specific absorption and backscattering coefficients of 5 optically active seawater components； phytoplankton pigments, non-chlorophyllous suspended particles, dissolved organic matters, heterotrophic microorganisms, and the other unknown particle components. Simulated remote sensing reflectance($R_{rs}$) and water leaving radiance(Lw) spectra were well agreed with in-situ measurements obtained using a bi-directional fields remote spectrometer in coastal waters and open ocean. $R_{rs}$ values in SeaWiFS bands from the model were analyzed to develop 2-band ratio ocean color chlorophyll with those observed insitu. Also, chlorophyll algorithm based on remote reflectance developed in this study fell in those obtained by a SeaBAM working group. The model algorithms were examined and compared with those observed insitu. Also, chlorophyll algorithm based on remote reflectance developed in this study fell in those obtained by a SeaBAM working group. The remote reflectance model will be very helpful to understand the variation of water leaving radiances caused by the various components in the seawater, and to develop new ocean color algorithm for CASE-II water using neural network method or other analytical method, and in the model of fine atmospheric signal correction.

Sinus lift procedure is frequently required for the maxillary molar implant placement. Previous studies have demonstrated alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) can maintain the dimensions of ridge height and width. However, there is a lack of studies which evaluated the effect of ARP to avoid sinus lift procedure. Purpose of this study is to describe a method reducing the need of sinus lift surgery by ARP in maxillary molar areas and to assess the feasibility clinically, radiologically and histologically. Ten maxillary molars in ten patients had severe vertical bone resorption with minimal residual bone height. They were considered having the high possibility of the necessity of sinus lift procedure for dental implant after the extraction. After extraction, open healing ARP with deproteinized bovine bone mineral mixed with 10% collagen and resorbable collagen membranes was performed. After sufficient healing, dental implants were placed, and evaluated clinically and radiologically. Histological observation was conducted just before the implantation in one patient. Implants were successfully placed without sinus lift in all ten cases. All the implants were restored with no sign of complications, and patients are now in a close follow-up up to 20 months post-loading. Histological observation showed minimal inflammatory reaction and newly formed bone was substantially noted. The ARP technique has successfully avoided the sinus lift surgeries. It appears that this procedure may improve the simplicity of the clinical process for the clinicians and reduce the discomfort of patients.

It is well known that an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter (OWC-WEC) is one of the most efficient wave absorber equipment. This device transforms the vertical motion of water column in the air chamber into the air flow velocity and produces electricity from the driving force of turbine as represented by the Wells turbine. Therefore, in order to obtain high electric energy, it is necessary to amplify the water surface vibration by inducing resonance of the piston mode in the water surface fluctuation in the air chamber. In this study, a new type of OWC-WEC with a seawater channel is used, and the wave deformation by the structure, water surface fluctuation in the air chamber, air outflow velocity from the nozzle and seawater flow velocity in the seawater channel are evaluated by numerical analysis in detail. The numerical analysis model uses open CFD code OLAFLOW model based on multi-phase analysis technique of Navier-Stokes solver. To validate model, numerical results and existing experimental results are compared and discussed. It is revealed within the scope of this study that the air flow velocity at nozzle increases as the Ursell number becomes larger, and the air velocity that flows out from the inside of the air chamber is larger than the velocity of incoming air into the air chamber.

The purpose of this study is to identify how postural mechanics affects postural control on balance and stability by using frequency analysis technique from the kinematic data acquired during the one leg standing posture. For this purpose, the experimental group consisted of two groups, the normal group (n=6) and the national Gymnastics group (n=6). Displacement data of CoP were analyzed by frequency analysis of rambling (RM) and trembling (TR) by FFT signal processing. As a results, there was a significant difference in evaluating the stabilization index between the two groups with the eyes open and closed one leg stnading (p <.05). The cause of the difference was found to be the output of the maximum amplitude of RM (f1) and TR (f2) (p <.05). In particular, in the low frequency RM of 8-9 Hz, which is a natural frequency of signal wave involved in postural feedback feedback, the main frequency appeared to be performs the exercise mechanism of stable brain posture control. And in the high frequency TM of 120-135 Hz, it is considered that the adaptation of the reflective muscle response is minimized to minimize posture shaking. In conclusion, this study provides evidence for the intrinsic main frequencies according to the postural control ability which affects the CNS in one leg standing.

In this paper, we propose a 3D mesh reconstruction method from a single image using deep learning and a sphere shape transformation method. The proposed method has the following originality that is different from the existing method. First, the position of the vertex of the sphere is modified to be very similar to the 3D point cloud of an object through a deep learning network, unlike the existing method of building edges or faces by connecting nearby points. Because 3D point cloud is used, less memory is required and faster operation is possible because only addition operation is performed between offset value at the vertices of the sphere. Second, the 3D mesh is reconstructed by covering the surface information of the sphere on the modified vertices. Even when the distance between the points of the 3D point cloud created by correcting the position of the vertices of the sphere is not constant, it already has the face information of the sphere called face information of the sphere, which indicates whether the points are connected or not, thereby preventing simplification or loss of expression. can do. In order to evaluate the objective reliability of the proposed method, the experiment was conducted in the same way as in the comparative papers using the ShapeNet dataset, which is an open standard dataset. As a result, the IoU value of the method proposed in this paper was 0.581, and the chamfer distance value was It was calculated as 0.212. The higher the IoU value and the lower the chamfer distance value, the better the results. Therefore, the efficiency of the 3D mesh reconstruction was demonstrated compared to the methods published in other papers.

The purpose of this study is to explore a significant HPWS(High Performance Work System) model for the entertainment industry. HPWS is one of the most studied themes for managing human resources as well as a set of practices to elicit employees' commitment to an organization. Recently, the entertainment industry is growing rapidly, but it is difficult for entertainment firms to retain a stable profit unlike the manufacturing industry. This is because the performance of entertainment business tends to rely heavily on the capabilities and synergy of human resources. In order to suggest a systematic way to manage these, this research identified an effective HPWS model for entertainment business and provides a competitive advantage to entertainment firms, using ANP(Analytic Network Process). ANP is a multicriteria decision making technique that allows dependences and feedbacks among decision elements in the hierarchical or network structures in a holistic manner. The pairwise comparison data that prioritized the criteria of HPWS was collected from 28 team leaders in entertainment firms. According to our results, the most critical factor for HPWS in entertainment business is "employee involvement in decision-making." The sub-factors such as "open communication," "distributive decision-making," and "performance-driven reward" have a greater effect. These findings could provide implications for entertainment firms to determine which practices should be taken into account to accomplish HPWS.

Anther cultivation for crop breeding is a method of rapid production of homozygosities by greatly reducing the time required for at least six generations to develop new varieties using conventional breeding methods. This technique of producing anther culture provides an opportunity to obtain more green plants from a methodological point of view, and the techniques that save time and effort in anther culture are also important because they increase the efficiency of culture. This study compared the callus induction rate and green plant regeneration rate of a one-step and a two-step culture that differ in their culture media and culture methods. One-step culture allows callus induction and plant regeneration in one medium, whereas two-step culture requires induction and plant regeneration in two different media. In this study, we compared the callus induction and plant regeneration rates of rice anthers as one-step and two-step cultures. The callus formation rate was 13.0% for one-step cultures and 8.6% for two-step cultures, so the rate was 4.4% higher for one-step cultures than for two-step cultures. The plant regeneration rate was 1.0% in one-step cultures and 3.0% in two-step cultures, so the regeneration rate was three times higher for the two-step cultures than for one-step cultures. This suggests that the two-step cultures are more efficient than the one-step cultures for haploid production.

Purpose: The study aims to identify the theme list and priority criteria of patient safety theme reports in South Korea. Methods: The survey was conducted twice, and the importance of each criterion and theme was measured on a nine-point scale using the Delphi technique by a panel of 19 patient safety experts. The criteria included severity, universality, preventability, and organizational-social impact. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, and interval quartile range were used to analyze the data. Results: The parameters were assigned a weighted average of 35% for severity, 20% for universality, 30% for preventability, and 15% for organizational-social impact, respectively. The final top three rankings were surgery safety, blood transfusion safety, and medication safety. In addition to expert opinion, for the theme that is selected based on the priority ranking, one to five sub-topics can be derived from the theme based on the priority ranking, societal demands, or the yearly priority list of patient safety incidents. Conclusion: It is recommended that the official patient safety center distribute the report in the form of a summary that can be utilized nationwide at medical institutions, government institutions, and other places. Updates, as well as accumulated theme reports, will serve as the baseline data for the proposal of the system and for the policy designed to implement and improve institutions' safety practices as a standard of domestic patient safety practice guidelines.
