We experienced one case of orthotopic cardiac transplantation in a patient with end stage dilated cardiomyopathy. This 50 year-old female recipient was suffered from NYHA functional class IV cardiac failure and dependent upon intravenous inotropic support for 2 months [recipient category 1]. Her preoperative condition was grave with left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% and estimated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure [from Doppler study] was 50mmHg. The brain-dead donor was 31 year-old male with head trauma. The body sizes [weight, height] of the donor/recipient were 70 Kg, 165 cm / 43 Kg, 160 cm and appropriately overmatched. Preoperatively, identical ABO/Rh blood group [A+] and nonreacting HLA crossmatching were confirmed. On November 11 1992 cardiac transplantation was performed without complication. Multiple organ procurement team and heart transplantation team were organized the operation schedule appropriately to minimize the ischemic time. The pump time was 126 minutes and aortic crossclamping time of recipient heart was 73 minutes and, as a result, total ischemic time of the transplanted heart was 75 minutes. Postoperatively, the vital signs were stable with minimal inotropic support. The immunosuppressive therapy was commenced from preoperatively and cyclosporine, azathioprine, and corticosteroid were used as a combination therapy as scheduled and monitored with blood drug concentration, WBC count, renal function and most importantly regular endomyocardial biopsy.Now, 5 months after transplantation, the patient is in NYHA functional class II with minimal cardiac drug support.

As IT technology improves, software is being more and more important. Industry demands higher level of programming ability from university graduates. As a result, programming related courses already take higher possession of electronics department curricula. But even though the environment likewise computer laboratory is improved as much, and professors have tried to enhance the quality of their lectures and educational results, still programming education does not match the demand of our society and industry. In this paper, we introduce the overview of programming education in electronics department, KUT and discuss problems in programming language education especially for the 1st year students, since programming education to the 1st year university students becomes one of the most important part as it deals with fundamentals on programming language and we suggest its improvement directions in regards with students, teaching materials, professors, class size, and class hours.

On January of this year, the 29th National Science and Technology Council, presided by President M.B. Lee, officially finalized a contract for a big project to build an International Science and Business Belt(ISBB) that includes the establishment of a new institute, the Asian Basic Science Institute (ABSI) and the construction of a Rare Isotope Accelerator. The government will inject more than 3.5 trillion Wan into the ISBB project. The investment to build the care laboratory for the project, the heavy ion accelerator, the first one in Korea, will be 460 billion Wan, Korea thus aiming to build an accelerator with world-class performance. This will be the sixth in the world. The construction will start from 2012, and is planned to finish by 2015. ABSI, whose construction will be finished by 2012, is planned to be a care laboratory with 3,000 scientists and staff. To. attract world class researchers and other professionals from aver the world, the project includes the creation of a new city with a superb educational, cultural environment, and comfortable living environment for an international community. The site for this new science and business city, "scientific ecosystem", has not been officially decided yet, and supposed to be announced in the first half af this year.

From January 1984 to June 1990, 188 patients have undergone cardiac valve replacement [114 MVR, 27 AVR, 47 Multiple valve replacement] with the St. Jude Medical prosthesis. The early mortality rate was 6.9%. The most common cause of early death was low output syndrome. There were no cases of valve-related early death. The risk factors for early death were advanced preoperative NYHA functional class [> IV], and prolonged ECC and ACC time. The 175 early survivors were followed-up for a total 372.7 patient-year over a period of 2 to 74 months [Mean $\pm$SD: 25.6$\pm$18.6 months]. During follow up, 12 patient died and late mortality rate was 6.9%. There were three valve-related late deaths: two were due to valve thrombosis and one was due to hemorrhage. Most late deaths [58%, 7/12] were from cardiac non-valvular causes. Valve-related complications occurred at a linearlized rate of 3.5% /pt-yr. Embolism occurred at a rate of 0.8% /pt-yr. There were three cases of valve thrombosis [0.8% /pt-yr: two fatal]. Hemorrhage due to anticoagulant occurred in 5 patients and a rate of 1.3% pt-yr [one fatal]. Five-year actuarial survival rate was 86.5 $\pm$5.1% and 97% of patient were in NYHA functional class I or II at three months postoperatively.

We made an investigation into basic mathematical abilities and made university freshmen an object of this study in order to find out the reason why their capabilities are remarkably behind in studies year by year. According to the survey, we confirmed that recent university freshmen's basic abilities to attend calculus class, right away after entering university, are insufficient for that class. In particular, a matter of grave concern is that score variations are so big despite the equal major of the same university. The aim of the study is to evaluate university freshmen's basic mathematical abilities in nationwide university and to figure out the real situation, then to give assistance to the proper calculus curriculum of university by reflecting the result in it. And also we wish to be helpful to propose proper policy plan in natural science system of highschool.

S1he concept of a class in the land-use classification system can be equally applied to a class in the land-use-change classification. The maximum likelihood method using linear discriminant function and Markov transition matrix method were integrated to a synthetic modeling effort in order to project spatial allocation of land-use-change and quantitative assignment of that prediction as a whole. The algorithm of both the multivariate discriminant function and the Markov chain matrix were discussed and the test of synthetic model on the study area was resulted in the projection of '90 year as well as '95 year land -use classification. The accuracy and the issue of modeling improvement were discussed eventually.

The purpose of this report is to review vertical dysplasia such as openbite or deep bite in skeletal Class III malocclusion and their treatment modality and to present two cases treated with MEAW. The results obtained were as follows A. Open bite case 1. The treatment time was 3 year 8 months. 2. Upper and lower incisors showed extrusion and especially lower anterior alveolar process showed remodelling. 3. The mesially inclined upper and lower molars were uprighted and especially lower first molars showed extrusion that means remodelling of alveolar bone. 4. Normal overbite and overjet were established. 5. Mandible showed slight clockwise rotation. 6. Maxilla showed slight downward bending of ANS part. 7. Upper lip showed downward drop and lower lip showed retraction and touch between upper and lower lip was established. 8. Tongue posture of post-treatment was more raised than pretreatment. B. Deep bite case 1. The treatment time was 1 year 8 months. 2. Upper incisors showed intrusion and labioversion and lower incisors showed slight intrusion and linguoversion. 3. The lower molars showed distal uprighting and intrusion and upper molars showed mesial movement and extrusion. 4. Normal overbite and overjet were established. 5. Maxilla did not show downward movement. 6. Mandible showed slight clockwise rotation. 7. Lower lip showed retraction and downward drop and upper lip showed downward drop.

The virtual population analysis technique was applied to the silver croaker, Otolithes argenteus, stock based on length frequency composition, age-length key and nominal catches taken by the trawl fleet and fixed-stake nets in the Kuwait's waters during $1981\~1988$. One-year-old fish was dominant, whereas three-year-old and older fish were at a very low level. Fishing mortality was much higher in the age groups of 2 and 3 than in the others. A strong year-class occurred in 1980 and 1981. Population size of fishable stock markedly decreased from 1982 to 1985 and remained at a low level during $1986\~1987$. The effects of changes in fishing effort showed that an increase in fishing effort would not lead to benefits in yield and would comprise more young and fewer old fish, whereas a reduction in fishing effort to a certain level (by $20\~40\%$ ) from the fishing effort level on the average during $1981\~1988$ could bring some small advantage to the fishery consisting of fewer young and older fish.

Teaching and learning mathematics in a classroom setting is based on the interactions between the teacher and her students. Using classroom observations and interviews of students and the teacher, this research examines a first-year teacher and her students' interactions in the mathematics classroom. In this mathematics classroom, teacher and students interaction had inconsistency between mathematical topics and non-mathematical topics. For non-mathematical topics, their interactions were very active but for mathematical topics their interactions were very limited. This paper ends with raising questions for future research and calling for the opportunities for first-year teachers to reflect on their interactions with their students, in particular about mathematical topics.

We started a systematic observational study of the 22 GHz water and 44 GHz class I methanol masers in 87 high-mass young stellar objects (HM-YSOs) as a KaVA large program (LP). The primary goal is to understand dynamical evolution of HM-YSOs and their circumstellar structures by measuring spatial distributions and 3-dimensional velocity fields of multiple maser species. In the first-year observations (2016-2017), we made snap-shot imaging surveys of 25 water and 19 methanol maser sources. In the second-year observations (2018-2019), we have carried out monitoring observations of 19 water and 3 methanol maser sources that were selected on the basis of the first-year survey results. By combining follow-up observations with VERA (distances), JVN/EAVN (6.7 GHz methanol masers), and ALMA cycles 3 and 6 (thermal lines/continuum), we will provide novel information on physical properties (density, temperature, size, mass), 3D dynamical structures of disk/jet/outflow/infalling envelope, and relationship between evolutionary of HM-YSOs. In this presentation, we will report the current status and future plans of our KaVA large program.
