Tuberculous spondylitis is the most common manifestation of musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB). The progression of the disease is usually slow and insidious. The main symptom, back pain, is not specific, which frequently results in a delayed diagnosis resulting in neurologic deficits and more advanced vertebral destruction. It is more difficult to diagnose the disease if the involved area is an uncommon sites, such as the upper thoracic, cervical or sacral region. It is important to make an early diagnosis and treatment to achieve a better treatment outcome. We reported a 29 year old female with upper thoracic TB spondylitis(T2-8) and pulmonary TB complaining of back pain that persisted for 5 months and fever. TB spondylitis was not suspected to be due to upper thoracic involvement despite her pulmonary tuberculosis. Chest CT for the evaluation of pulmonary TB found T5 destruction and the paravertebral abscess that was consistent with TB spondylitis. Her spine was examined by MRI, which made an early diagnosis before the neurologic deficit had developed. She was treated with surgical intervention due to the spinal instability and anti-TB medication for 1 year with excellent results.

Defining sustainable development as the challenge of continuously balanving economic, social and ecological values, a European research project sought lessons from experiences of a forty year period to frame criteria of appropriate scale for contextually-sensitive environmental policy. A network of case studies conducted by partner teams in Gemany, lreland, the Netherlands and Sweden examined changes of scale in the territorial, functional and socio-political contexts of life and landscape between 1950-1990. Themes central to the project included landscape transformations, tensions among area-and sector-based ways of life [genres de vie], and changing horizons of discretionary reach. With illustrations drawn mainly from the lrish case studies in Tipperary, this lecture outlines some regional differences in response to externa-policy and market-driven-influences. Implications for cross-cultural research and the framing of contextually-sensitive environmental policy are outlined, and suggestions made for their modulation through European Union, national, regional, and local levels.

본 연구에서는 남자대학생 80명을 대상으로 총 식이섬유 및 조섬유와 영양소 섭취상태를 비교 분석하였다. 남자대학생들의 평균 총 식이섬유 섭취량은 $20.54\pm5.82g으로$ 외국의 잠정적 권장량의 범위(20~30g)에는 들었으나 권장량의 하한치를 약간 상회하는데 그쳤다. 조섬유의 1일 평균 섭취량은 $8.43\pm5.56g으로$ 1일 식이섬유 섭취량의 약 41%에 해당하였으며 그 외 열량 및 다른 영양소의 평균 섭취량은 한국인 영양권장량과 비슷하거나 다소 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 총 식이섬유 섭취량과 에너지 및 단백질, 당질, 그리고 조섬유의 섭취량 간에는 유의적인 상관관계를 보였으며, 당질이 가장 높은 상관계수(r=0.7232, p<0.001)를 보였다. 또한 조사 대학생들의 총 식이섬유 섭취량과 식품군별 섭취량과의 상관관계수를 보인 것은 채소류 (r=0.6548, p<0.001)였으며 그 다음은 곡류(0.5913, p<0.001)였으며 그 다음은 곡류(0.5913, p<0.001), 해조류(0.3300, p<0.01)였다. 조사 대학생들의 식이섬유 섭취량 중 총식이섬유 급원으로 가장 많이 섭취한 식품은 쌀과 김치였으며, 각각 총 식이섬유 섭취량의 11.98%와 7.64%에 기여하였다. 그 외 학생들이 많이 섭취한 라면, 고춧가루, 냉면, 빵, 콩나물, 밀가루, 깍두기, 무 등이 주요한 식이섬유 급원으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 남자대학생들의 식이섬유 섭취량은 외국의 잠정적 권장량의 범위(20~30g)에 속하였으나 충분한 양을 섭취하고 있는 것은 아니었으며, 오히려 경제수준의 향상으로 인한 식습관의 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 젊은 세대들인 조사대학생들의 장래 식이섬유 소비량은 더욱 감소할 것으로 추정된다. 그러므로 식이섬유 급원식품의 섭취를 증가시키는 방안이 모색될 필요가 있다. 따라서 성인기에 식이섬유 부족으로 나타나는 각종 질병의 위험을 예방하기 위해 정백비 위주의 식사를 지양하고 총 식이섬유 함량이 높은 해조류의 섭취를 널리 교육시키는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 보다 광범위하고 체계적인 대상자 선정을 통하여 식이섭취조사가 이루어져 식이섬유 섭취패턴을 연구할 필요가 있다.

The goal of this research was evaluating and suggesting the solution of preventing carbonation of concrete replaced high-volume of slag. The concrete mixtures were prepared with high-volume slag and recycled aggregate, and the concrete samples were evaluated the carbonation depth with various surface treatment methods. For various surface treatment methods and surface protecting sheets, bonding strength and carbonation depth were measured. Basically, from the results, the carbonation of concrete was completely prevented with any type of surface treatment method and surface protecting sheet as far as the surface treatment materials were remained. Therefore, in this research, it was known and suggested that the easiness of handling and sufficient bonding performance was much important than the quality of surface protecting sheets.

The rough design information is only available from BIM(Building Information Model) based schematic design. So, it is difficult to obtain sufficient information for generating BOQ. Like 2D design, there are some problems that the results are depend on what the choice of cost estimator. However, the most research of BIM based cost estimation are focus on quantity takeoff, the consideration of work item for generating BOQ is insufficient. Therefore, this paper present automatic inference process of work items in a BOQ using ontology. The proposed process and ontology is validated through applying tiling construction. If the proposed process is utilized, it is expected the basis of developing generation method for consistent BOQ by resolving intervention of cost estimator's arbitrary decision.

As an approach to high-efficiency of SOFC system, SOFC/GT Hybrid system is effective. However, if the output size of the system belongs to the marine class of dozens MWs, the introduction of the cooling system of GT system, which is used as sub-system, makes its related devices complicated and also makes its control difficult. Accordingly, for the marine use, SOFC/GT (non-cooling)Hybrid system looks more suitable than SOFC/GT(cooling)Hybrid system. This study established the SOFC/GT (non-cooling)Hybrid system, and examined the operating temperature & current density of the stack for the system, pressure ratio of the gas turbine, the influence of TIT(Turbine Inlet Temperature) on system performance, etc. through the simulation process. Through this research process, this study was able to confirm that electrical efficiency rises in spite of the increase in the required power for the air compressor, and there exists a limited range of temperatures for operation in TIT.

Motiongraphics is not short film and has a special communication method characteristic of design. As graphic design needs space-composition, motiongraphics requires time-composition. In the 1920's, artists belonged Bauhaus in Germany tried to realize time-composition in the plans for abstract animation. At that time the russian film director Eisenstein experimented with moving image composit on, creating new meanings through the montage of heterogeneous images. In the digital era of today, motiongraphics is composed of such various elements as moving image, photo, illustration, typography, etc. The editing in montage film is one-dimensional. Meanwhile, motiongraphics of these days consists of a lot of layers, composing various elements by editing. Motiongraphics needs time structure and visual rhythm as well as scenario or storyboard for time composition. The principle of time composition in motiongraphics ist similar to that of musical composition. If we compare the time composition of abstract animation or montage film with the melody in a solo, time composition for motiongraphicf is like a symphony. Various composing elements are developed under different tempos at the same time.

This study clarifies the simulation on freezing of remaining water in the Z-trap set up in the PVC sewage bay to control malodor. It made use of commercial FEM LAB program(ver. 3.2) well known as a solution of the problems arising in the flow of various fluid, heat transfer and mass transfer. Simulation results under the temperature $-20^{\circ}C$ outwards show that the water in the Z-trap set up in the sewage bay to control malodor freeze in the 60cm under the ground level after 14 days in the wet ground, and after 17 days in the regular ground. On the other hand, if the soil is dry even after the 42 days does not go down below freezing. Therefore, the water in the Z-trap was confirmed that it does not freeze.

It is anticipated that difficulties are encountered in comparing the use levels of food additives between Korean and Codex systems because of the differences in the use level pattern and food classification method. This study was attempted to construct comparison tables between Korean and Codex standards for benzoic acid, food red No. 2, sulfur dioxide and polysorbate as well as for soybean paste, hot soybean paste and intstant noodle. Difficulties were found to be due to the food category system in use levels by additives and due to the mixed pattern of use level setting in Korea in use levels by food commodities. The comparison tables proposed in this study will be utilized momentously by regulatory authorities and food processing industry. This study showed the necessity to pay attention in comparing the use levels of food additives by country and food commodity.

In order to determine the mode I stress intensity factor ($K_I$) by means of the alternating current potential drop(ACPD) technique, the change in potential drop due to load for a paramagnetic material containing a two-dimensional surface crack was examined. The cause of the change in potential drop and the effects of the magnetic flux and the demagnetization on the change in potential drop were clarified by using the measuring systems with and without removing the magnetic flux from the circumference of the specimen. The change in potential drop was linearly decreased with increasing the tensile load and was caused by the change in conductivity near the crack tip. The reason of decreasing the change in potential drop with increasing the tensile load was that the increase of the conductivity near the crack tip due to the tensile load caused the decreases of the resistance and internal inductance of the specimen. The relationship between the change in potential drop and the change in $K_I$ was not affected by demagnetization and was independent of the crack length.
