An 11-year-old castrated male, Shih-tzu dog was admitted for progressive weight-bearing lameness and mass on the right hindlimb. Radiography and ultrasonography revealed a large well-marginated multinodular mass with mixed echogenicity. On T1 and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the mass has a heterogenous signal intensity similar to or higher than muscle. The masses were extended to the pelvic cavi쇼 through obturator foramen and displaced the rectum dorsally. It was diagnosed as synovial sarcoma which was composed with mesenchymal and epithelial elements on histopathological findings of the multifocal biopsied specimen. MRI was helpful to determine the definitive margin for surgical resection of the mass. The mass was recurred at the 6th month after surgery. On the 10th month, the patient was euthanasiuzed by owner's request.

The purpose of this study is to find the characteristics of the blindness of Sim Bongsa, Sim Cheong's father, in Sim Cheong Jeon (the story of Sim Cheong). This is one of the representative works about the filial piety in Korea. This article regards the story as the process of restoring the sight of the father and tries to examine the cause and the timing of his blindness to make its diagnosis in the psychoanalytic perspective. The predominant characteristics of Sim Bongsa were very dependent and irresponsible. He was so unqualified to be a head of a family. He sought to close his eyes toward reality in his unconsciousness. His blindness can be diagnosed as a case of psychogenic hysteria, conversion disorder. The fact that he suddenly could see when the empress turned out to be his own daughter, Cheong, can be a meaningful proof for this diagnosis. It means that his symptom of blindness disappeared when he realized a new reality which ensures a comfortable and easy-going life for himself.

Nasal tumors have been reported frequently in dogs and nasal discharge has been the primary presenting complaint in nasal tumor patients. A 10-year-old 7 kg male mixed breed dog was presented to the animal hospital for evaluation of severe bloody nasal discharge. After physical examination, blood examination and X-ray examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination was also conducted. Based on MRI nasal tumor which does not extend cranial vault was diagnosed. The nasal tumor was confirmed as adenosquamous cell carcinoma by histopathological examination after necropsy. The invasive characteristics of the neoplasm were documented by MRI. MRI was very valuable diagnostic tool for identifying extracranial and intracranial tumor invasion in a small animal.

HVAC 시스템은 쾌적하고 깨끗한 운전환경을 만들어 줌으로써 운전자에게 향상된 안락성과 안전성을 제공한다. 이때 센서는 시시각각으로 변화하는 차실 내외의 환경변화에 대한 정보를 검출하여 HVAC 제어 유니트에 제공한다. 현재 HVAC 시스템에 사용되고 있는 후막 가스센서는 소자 크기와 소비전력이 크고, 제작공정이 까다로워 생산성이 낮은 단점이 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 최근에는 초소형화, 저소비전력, 대량생산에 의한 저가격화가 가능한 MEMS 가스센서의 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MEMS 구조체를 이용한 마이크로 가스센서를 설계 및 제작하였고, 감도특성을 고찰하였다. 가스 감지막은 금속산화물 페이스트를 스크린 프린팅 하는 종래의 방법 대신 MEMS 구조체에 적용 가능한 sol-gel 프로세스에 의해 형성하였다. 또 가스 감지전극과 micro-heater를 동일 평면상에 제작, 공정을 간소화하여 저가화를 시도하였다. MEMS 구조체 위에 제작된 Pt 박막 micro-heater의 인가전압에 따른 발열특성을 조사한 결과, 발열온도가 인가전압에 비례하는 이상적인 선형성을 나타내었으며, $300^{\circ}C$의 동작 온도에 도달하기 위해 65mW 이하의 저전력 동작이 가능하였다. 가스 센서의 감도특성 확인 실험은 CO 가스 10ppm, NO 가스 0.3ppm을 기준으로 수행되었으며, CO 및 NO에 대해 Rs(sensitivity, 가스반응저항/초기저항) 값은 각각 0.753 과 2.416로 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

Although consumer needs for better products force manufactures to put emphasis on design, often development of a product has been done without the formal phase to consider human needs. In order to identify the implicit needs of customers and the areas of potential demand on a product, several analysis scheme such as QFD(quality function deployment) has been developed. For this, first of all, the methods for evaluating consumers satisfaction about their needs must be determined. However there were only few systematic methods on shoe design. In this paper we developed an innovative framework for human satisfaction evaluation of shoes. As a result, we uncovered 29 dominant human satisfaction dimensions for customer-oriented quality evaluation of a comfortable shoes. Here, 29 satisfaction dimensions were identified as the dimensions that represent the human sensitivity and psychological feeling on comfortable shoes. This study helped the designers and developers clarify the conceptual and abstract aspect of the design evaluation by proposing a more systematic and process-oriented method.

Is it lawful to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment applied to a patient in a terminal condition or permanent unconscious condition? In Korea, there are no such laws or regulations which control affairs related to the withholding or withdrawal life-support treatment and active euthanasia as the Natural Death Act or the Death with Dignity Act in the U. S. A. And in addition there has had no precedent of Supreme Court. Recently Supreme Court has pronounced a historical judgment on a terminal care case. The court allowed the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a patient in a permanent unconscious state. Fundamentally the court judged that the continuation of that medical treatment would infringe dignity and value of a patient as a human being. And the court required some legal grounds to consider such withdrawal or withholding of medical care lawful. The legal grounds are as follow. First, the patient is in a incurable and irreversible condition and already entered a stage of death. Second, the patient executed a directive, in advance, directing the withholding or withdrawal of life-support treatment in a incurable and irreversible condition or in a terminal condition. Otherwise, at least, the patient's will would be presumed through his/her character, view of value, philosophy, religious faith and career etc. I regard if a patient is in a incurable and irreversible condition or in a terminal condition, the medical contract between a patient and a doctor would be terminated because of the actual impossibility of achievement of it's purpose. So I think the discontinuation of life-sustaining care would be legally allowed without depending on the patient's own will.
