Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumonia causes upper and lower respiratory tract symptoms in all age groups, with the highest attack rates in subjects 5 to 20 years old. In patients with mycoplasma pneumonia, the most common radiographic findings may be reticulonodular or interstitial infiltration, which have a predilection for the lower lobes. Findings that show lung collapse on a chest X-ray are very rare. We report a case of mycoplasma pneumonia that showed right upper lobe collapse.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) were used as starting materials for the preparation of hybrid materials with polystyrene (PS). Optically transparent hybrids were obtained in a wide range of weight ratios when phenyl groups were introduced to each corner of the silsesquioxane. In contrast, as cyclohexyl groups were introduced, the obtained hybrid materials with PS resulted in turbid films. The aromatic (${\pi}-{\pi}$) interaction was confirmed to be a quite effective tool for the synthesis of organic-Inorganic polymer hybrids with POSS. The obtained homogeneous and transparent hybrid films could be dissolved in solvents and East again without any separation. The homogeneity of polymer hybrids with POSS was supported by the result of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which demonstrated a nanometer-level integration of PS and POSS.

Nanocomposites of polyurethane were prepared from inorganic nano particles, $Na^+-montmorillonite$ (MMT), silica, $CaCO_3$, and surface modified MMT and their properties were investigated. It was shown that the molecular weight and polydispenity of nanocomposites of polyurethane were 20000 to 28000 and 1.0 to 2.0, respectively. d-Spacing for nanocomposites of MMT were increased than that of pure MMT. Initial degradation temperature of nanocomposites were 250 to $280^{\circ}C$. And also, the range of weight loss for nanocomposites were decreased and the end of thermal degradation was observed at higher temperatures about $50^{\circ}C$. The elongation at break for $CaCO_3$ filled nanocomposites were the highest among the nanocomposites used in this study. studied. It was found that the tensile strength increased with increasing the filler contents while the silica nanocomposite exhibited the lowest increase and the $CaCO_3$ nanocomposite the highest.

Changes in pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar, nitrogen compound and mineral of black bean chungkugjang(BBC)added with kiwi and radish during fermentation were investigated. During fermentation of BBC, pH was increased, while titratable acidity was decreased. The changes in pH and titratable acidity of all chungkugjangs other than BBC were very rapid after 24 hrs of fermentation. Reducing sugar content was highest in BBC and was increased by 24 hrs of fermentation and decreased thereafter. Amino-type nitrogen increased rapidly after 24 hrs of fermentation. The addition of kiwi and radish increased the content of amino-type nitrogen in BBC by enhancing proteolysis of black bean, being as much as in soybean chungkugjang. At 72 hrs of fermentation BBC was found to be lower in ammonia type nitrogen than soybean chungkugjang. Mineral content, in general, was higher in BBC than in soybean chungkugjang, showing highest in potassium followed by phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.

In order to get basic information for utilization of yong leabes of medicinal herbs as vegetable, 7 species leaves of medicinal herbs were analyzed. The moisture content in 6 species leaves were 79.74 to 85.97%. The raw protein content were about 2% except Angelica gigas (1.12%) and Peucedanum japonica (1.27%). The raw fat were 0.96 to 1.36%, the raw fiber were 1.8 to 3.9% and the raw ash were 1.58 to 2.79%. There content of medicinal herbs were similar to general vegetables. The K contents were the highest among the medical components in all samples. The total contents of amino acid in Aralza elata was 965mg%, Scutellaria baicalensis 930mg%, Aralia cordata 879mg%, Angelica acutiloba 851mg%, Agastache rugosa 747mg%, and Peucedanum japonica 615mg%, Aspartic acid and glutamic acid in amino acid were generally the highest but methionine and cystine the lowest.

The heat-storage characteristics accompanied by exothermic reaction at the regeneration of $Ca(OH)_2$ in tile heat-storage mode of a chemical heat pump system using a $Ca(OH)_2/CaO$ reversible thermochemical reaction was examined in a lab-scale unit. In this heat-storage mode, the particle bed of CaO could be regenerated by heating the $Ca(OH)_2$ packed bed to the higher temperature at which the equilibrium pressure in the reactor is greater than the water vapor pressure in the condenser. The results are i) the dehydration, thermal decomposition, rate of $Ca(OH)_2$ was higher at the lower part of particle bed than at the upper part, ii) in the reactor, the dehydration was proceeded along radial and axial direction, from inner part to the outer part, which explains heat transfers from the center to wall and from the tenter to lower or upper part of reactor.

This study was analyzed to the characteristics of the Lindera obtusiloba eaf teas by various manufacture methods. Moisture content was the highest in the tea processed by air dry method, and the lowest in the tea roasted after steaming. The contents of soluble solid was higher in the fermented tea than in the others, and the lowest in the roasted tea. The content of tannin was the higher in the roasted after steaming tea than in the others, and the lowest in the fermented tea. The content of vitamin C was the higher in the roasted tea than in the others, and the lower in the steamed tea. The mineral contents of leaf teas was orderly K, Na, Mn, Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn. The roasted after steaming tea was estimated to the most excellent in the sensory evaluation of leaf teas.

Quality evaluation and hazard management of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) which was prepared within the harvesting seasons were analyzed. Eatable weight was highest in the summer (953.40 g)>spring (912.27 g)>fall (895.28 g) lettuce, but sugar content showed the highest concentration in the spring. Total color of summer lettuce was the brightest in comparison with other seasons. Fall lettuce's color increased in yellowness more than greenness. Minerals of lettuce were abundant in the following order of K>Ca>Na>Mg>Fe in all seasons. Chlorophyll content, showing the similar trend to vitamin C, was the lowest in summer. Among the 48 different pesticides tested, only chlorthalonil was detected in a minute content from fall lettuce. In conclusion, summer lettuce was inferior to spring and fall in quality because of hot weather.

A series of aluminum acetylacetonate (AlACA) belonging in inorganic chelate calculating with the ratio of -COOH mole in PSA (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) and a series of PSA with different acrylic acid contents (3 wt%, 7 wt%, 10 wt%) were blended and measured gel contents, probe tack, peel strength, SAFT. With the increasing of aluminum acetylacetonate contents, the network structure was formed and gel contents were increased. Probe tack fibrillation and peel strength were decreased following the addition of aluminum acetylacetonate. SAFT were significantly changed with the change of acrylic acid contents in PSA. From these results, aluminum acetylacetonate could be used in the range of which would not change the performance a lot, and cure the PSA.

Recent modeling and simulation technologies are being used in various fields, especially in the field of military simulation-based acquisition (Simulation Based Acquisition) is recognized as an essential policy. In test and evaluation phase of the SBA process, to build a simulation-based T&E(test and evaluation) environment is needed when T&E cannot be carried by real weapon system. To improve efficiency and reliability for T&E, interoperability, reusability and reliability for T&E equipments and systems are important. In this study, we propose applying simulation framework for efficienct test and applying VV&A process for reliable evaluation. We describes the characteristics of the development process, the actual test cases and the results of evaluation. Finally utilization plan and the future direction of research is described.
