This study evaluates the prediction skills of stratospheric polar vortex intensification events (VIEs) in Global Seasonal Forecasting System (GloSea5) model, an operational subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction model of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). The results show that the prediction limits of VIEs, diagnosed with anomaly correlation coefficient (ACC) and mean squared skill score (MSSS), are 13.6 days and 18.5 days, respectively. These prediction limits are mainly determined by the eddy error, especially the large-scale eddy phase error from the eddies with the zonal wavenumber 1. This might imply that better prediction skills for VIEs can be obtained by improving the model performance in simulating the phase of planetary scale eddy. The stratospheric prediction skills, on the other hand, tend to not affect the tropospheric prediction skills in the analyzed cases. This result may indicate that stratosphere-troposphere dynamic coupling associated with VIEs might not be well predicted by GloSea5 model. However, it is possible that the coupling process, even if well predicted by the model, cannot be recognized by monotonic analyses, because intrinsic modes in the troposphere often have larger variability compared to the stratospheric impact.

Background: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is not common, but it requires swiftly performing an emergency operation. This study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic factors for mortality after surgically treating traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. Material and Method: From Jan 2001 to Dec. 2008, we experienced 37 cases of multiple traumas with diaphragmatic injuries that were confirmed by surgical procedures. We evaluated various factors, including the type of injury, the associated injuries, the preoperative vital signs, the ISS, the time until surgery and the rupture size. Result: There were 30 patients with blunt trauma and 7 patients with penetrating trauma. Thirty-four patients had associated injuries and the mean ISS was 20.8. Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients and hospital mortalities occurred in 6 patients. The prognostic factors that had an influence on the postoperative mortalities were the preoperative intubation state, the patient who exhibited hypotension and a high ISS. Conclusion: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is just one part of multiple traumas. The postoperative mortalities might depend on not only on the diaphragmatic rupture itself, but also on the severity of the associated injuries.

Recently, speedy, convenient and easy detection technologies have been developed rapidly and on the contrary, studies on development of traditional detectors applying biochemical characteristics has gradually been decreased. This review examined trend in current studies on detection of food-borne pathogenic microorganisms in the fields of selective media, immuno-assay, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), microarray, terahertz spectroscopy & imagination and so on. Most traditional methods to detect the organisms from food matrix rely on selective media and such a method have disadvantages like long time requirement and distinguishing one species only from each selective medium although they are highly economical. Various new convenient methods such as Enzyme Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA), paper-strip kit, fluoroimmunoassay etc. have been developed. The most ideal method for detecting food-borne pathogenic microorganisms in foods should be accurate, convenient, rapid and economical. Additionally, it is needed that capabilities of quantitative analysis and automation to be applied to industries.

超硬合金과 高速度鋼에 TiC, TiN 그리고 $Al_2O_3$의 耐 마모 코우팅시에 사용되는 CVD와 PVD 기술을 M E Sjostrand와 A G Thelin 등이 본 논문에서 논의하였다. 또한 CVD와 PVD 의 특별한 장점과 응용영역에 대하여도 토의하였다. 수년동안 CVD 기술은 금속질화물, 금속탄화물 그리고 금속산화물 등의 耐 마모 코우팅을 생산하는데 성공적으로 사용되어 왔다. Munster와 Ruppert에서는 1950년대 초기에 TiC와 TiN의 CVD 공정을 연구했는데 이런 코우팅 재료의 높은 화학적 안정성과 더불어 高硬鋼라는 독특한 성질로 인해 그 주요 영역이 명백해졌다. 1968년에 처음으로 CVD법에 의한 보호막 코우팅의 대규모 응용이 이루어졌는데 그것은 超硬合金 절삭공구의 코우팅이었다. (그림1 참고) 이것은 硬금속산업에 있어서 가장 중요한 발전단계였다. TiC, TiN 그리고 $Al_2O_3$로 코우팅된 공구의 생산은 1970년대에 빠른 성장을 보였으며 오늘날 사용되는 절삭날의 50% 이상을 점유하고 있다. (그림2 참고) TiC와 TiN은 현재 이용되고 있는 모든 耐 마모 코우팅 중에서 독보적인 위치를 차지하고 있다. 그 이유는 생산과정이 비교적 단순하기 때문이다. 지난 5년동안 절삭공구와 總形바이트의 코우팅에 대한 PVD기술의 응용이 폭발적으로 증가했다. 증착기술인 이들 CVD와 PVD 각각은 자체의 독특한 장점이 있으므로 그 응용영역은 증착조건, 즉 기지금속의 접착성과 증착온도 그리고 증착속도등에 따라 매우 다를 것이다. PVD 공정으로 인해 고속도 공구강이 급속도로 발전되었고 더우기 PVD공정은 500$^{\circ}C$ 이하의 증착온도에서 brazed carbide 공구의 코우팅을 가능하게 하였다. 따라서 두 증착기술은 서로 상반적이라기 보다는 상호보완적인 것이라고 생각하는 편이 더 좋다.TEMPLA에 비해 CLB의 수가 15.58% 감소되었다. 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 정제된 효소의 최적온도는 40$^{\circ}C$이었으며 20~50$^{\circ}C$에서 비슷한 활성을 나타내었고, 30$^{\circ}C$에서는 60분동안 효소활성이 거의 상실되지 않았다. 정제된 효소는 ethanol과 chloroform 처리에는 안정하였으나 12mM AT 와 0.1mM $NaN_3$ 및 1mM KCN에 의해 90% 이상의 활성이 억제되었다.이에 근거하여 서울시 학생들($7{\sim}18$세)의 만성신부전증 유병률은 1백만명당 5.7명으로 추정되었다. 결론 : 서울시내 학생들 중 11세, 14세, 17세 3개 군에서 한 번 검사로 확인된 무증상 단백뇨의 유병률은 0.28%(약 2.8명/1,000명)이었고 이들중 약 5%만이 3차검사에서 신질환이 의심되었으며 이에 따른 신질환 유병률은 1만명당 1.4명이었다. $7{\sim}18$세 연령층에서 무증상으로 발생하는 사구체 신질환 중에는 IgA 신병증의 유병률이 가장 높아 1만명당 0.64명으로 추정되었고 만성신부전증의 유병률은 1백만명당 5.7명으로 추정되었다. 집단뇨 검사를 통해 확인되는 신질환은 대부분 사구체 질환이기 때문에 집단뇨검사의 의의는 좀더 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되었다. 오히려 증상을 동반하는 경우보다 빈도가 증가한다는 사실은 집단뇨 검사에서 소변의 이상소견이 발견되어 신장 조직검사를 실시할 경우 혈청 $C_3$치의 감소 여부에 관계없이 MPGN도 진단적 고려 대상이 되어야 한다고 생각한다.신장 조직검사를 시행한 결과 진행성 경과를 취할 수 있는 막 증식성 사구체 신염과 매우 희귀한 증례인 신유전분증 등으로 진단됨으로써 지속성 단백뇨의 경우 정확 진단적 접근이 필수적임을 알 수 있다. 기립성

The accuracy in target localization of CT, MR, and digital angiography were investigated for stereotactic radiosurgery. The images using CT and MR were obtained out of geometrical phantom which was designed to produce exact coordinates of several points within a 0.lmm error range. The slice interval was 3mm and FOV was 35cm for CT and 28cm for MR. These images were transferred to treatment planning computer using TCP/IP in forms of GE format. Measured 3-D coordinates of these images from planning computer were compared to known values by geometrical phantom. Anterior-posterior and lateral films were taken by digital angiography for measurement of spatial accuracy. Target localization errors were 1.2${\pm}$0.5mm with CT images, 1.7${\pm}$0.4mm with MR-coronal images, and 2.1${\pm}$0.7mm with MR-sagittal images. But, in case of MR-axial images, the target localization error was 4.7${\pm}$0.9mm. Finally, the target localization error of digital angiography was 0.9${\pm}$0.4mm. The accuracy of diagnostic machines such as CT, MR, and angiography depended on their resolutions and distortions. The target localization error mainly depended on the resolution due to slice interval with CT and the image distortion as well as the resolution with MR However, in case of digital angiography, the target localization error was closely related to the distortion of fiducial markers. The results of our study should be considered when PTV (Planning Target Volume) was determined.

In this paper, we propose a method to predict the failure of industrial robot using Seq2Seq (Sequence to Sequence) model, which is a model for transforming time series data among Artificial Neural Network models. The proposed method uses the data of the joint current and angular value, which can be measured by the robot itself, without additional sensor for fault diagnosis. After preprocessing the measured data for the model to learn, the Seq2Seq model was trained to convert the current to angle. Abnormal degree for fault diagnosis uses RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) during unit time between predicted angle and actual angle. The performance evaluation of the proposed method was performed using the test data measured under different conditions of normal and defective condition of the robot. When the Abnormal degree exceed the threshold, it was classified as a fault, and the accuracy of the fault diagnosis was 96.67% from the experiment. The proposed method has the merit that it can perform fault prediction without additional sensor, and it has been confirmed from the experiment that high diagnostic performance and efficiency are available without requiring deep expert knowledge of the robot.

Although most domestic concrete structures are simultaneously exposed to freeze-thaw and chloride environments, concrete durability in the field is evaluated by each single action, and the evaluation of chloride-caused damage of concrete requires additional indoor experimental analysis of chloride contents by coring samples from structures in the field. However, in Korea, policies to strengthen facility maintenance, such as 「Special Act on the Safety Control and Maintenance of Establishments」 and 「Framework Act on Sustainable Infrastructure Management」, have been established and implemented since 2018 and facilities subject to safety inspection management by the government and local governments increases, the effective simplification technology for the inspection and diagnosis of concrete structure is needed. Therefore, this study attempted to evaluate the possibility of determining the acceleration chloride penetration of freeze-thaw damaged concrete by using the surface rebound value. For this purpose, concrete specimens already having freeze-thaw damage by exposure to the freeze-thaw acceleration environment were immersed in chloride water. After that, the acceleration relationship of chloride penetration according to freeze-thaw damage was analyzed using the amount of chloride contents in concrete.

Elastography utilizes the fact that the tissue of a malignant tumor is harder than that of a benign tumor and increases the specificity of diagnosis according to the elastic modulus of the tumor, helping to reduce unnecessary biopsies. However, the reliability of elastography can be influenced by the equipment used and the examiner's skills. In this study, the researchers analyzed the reproducibility of elastography by evaluating phantom images when measuring the elasticity values repeatedly. Phantoms were created using silicone and gelatin with different levels of stiffness, and they were inserted at varying depths from the surface. The elasticity values were measured using shear wave elastography. The study aimed to determine whether the reproducibility of elasticity values remains consistent depending on the stiffness and depth of the lesions. The experimental results showed that there was no statistically significant correlation between the elasticity values obtained through shear wave elastography and the depth or stiffness of the lesions. However, in the lesions with the lowest stiffness, the elasticity values were statistically significant (p<0.001) and showed a high correlation with the depth of the lesions. Although there were variations in the measured elasticity values based on the differences in lesion stiffness and depth, these differences did not significantly impact the diagnosis. Therefore, shear wave elastography remains a reliable diagnostic method, and it is suggested that it can be helpful in the diagnosis of breast lesions.
