선박의 길잡이 역할을 하고 있는 항로표지는 해상에서 서식하고 있는 갈매기, 가마우지 등 조류의 좋은 쉼터가 되고 있다. 해상의 조류는 이러한 쉼터에서 먹잇감을 찾거나 배설을 하는 습성이 있으며, 이는 항로표지 기능을 저해하는 문제점을 낳고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 우리나라뿐만 아니라 세계 각국에서는 수년간 조류퇴치 방법에 대한 연구 및 실험을 통하여 다양한 방법을 도입 시도하고 있으나, 문제점을 해소하는 데에 실패하거나, 기대했던 바에는 크게 미치지 못하고 있다. 여기에서는 그간 도입된 방법을 재시도 하거나, 새로운 방법을 고안하고 현장실험을 시행하여 조류퇴치 효과 여부에 대하여 알아보았다.

Coiled polymer actuators fabricated by twisting polymer fishing lines or sewing threads respond to heating and cooling with their contraction and relaxation. However, their actuation speed is highly dependent on the heating and cooling rates. In order to improve the actuation speed, the coiled polymer actuator was coated with polydimethylsiloxane composites. The introduction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes into the polydimethylsiloxane improved the actuation speed by about 13%.

A 1.6-year-old, intact male beagle dog was presented with three day history of odynophagia and anorexia. According to the history and radiographic findings, the patient was diagnosed with esophageal and gastric foreign body due to ingesting fishhooks. Gastroesophagoscopy revealed that one fishhook located in the thoracic esophagus cranial to the heart base and the other located in the cardia region were connected with a single fishing line. Gastrotomy was performed to remove the fishhook in the cardia region and to sever the connecting fishing line. After gastrotomy, endoscopic attempts to remove the esophageal fishhook with a three, five pronged endoscopic grasping forceps, and a biopsy were unsuccessful because the fishhook was embedded deeply in the mucosa membrane. A handmade cerclage wire(16G) shaped like a snare forceps was advanced into the esophagus while visualizing the fishhook endoscopically. The cerclage wire was used to hang and retract the foreign body. The fishhook was retracted orally, resulting in successful removal. Ten days after the operation, the patient fully recovered and was discharged.
