Purpose: To introduce mini-open rotator cuff repair using the anterolateral approach and evaluate its clinical outcomes and effectiveness. Materials and Methods: 59 consecutive cases of rotator cuff tearing which were treated with mini-open repair utilizing the anterolateral approach were evaluated. The population comprised 39 men and 20 women, with an average age of 56.6 years. An average follow-up time period was 26 months. Clinical outcomes were analyzed based on VAS, ADL, and ASES scores. Results: The average respective VAS, ADL, and ASES scores improved from 7.04, 12.37, and 35.32 preoperatively to 1.02, 27.20, and 90.08 postoperatively (p=0.000). There were 41 excellent, 11 good, 2 fair, and 5 poor results. There were satisfactory results in 52 cases (88.1%). There were no statistically significant differences between the final ASES scores and age, sex, duration of symptoms, tear size, and preoperative stiffness (p>0.05). Conclusion: Mini-open rotator cuff repair using the anterolateral approach effective in providing better visualization.

As distribution environment is changing rapidly and competition is more intensive in the channel of distribution, the importance of retailer image and retailer equity is increasing as a different competitive advantages. Also, consumers are not functionally oriented and that their behavior is significantly affected by the symbols such as retailer image which identify retailer in the market place. That is, consumers do not choose products or retailers for their material utilities but consume the symbolic meaning of those products or retailers as expressed in their self images. The concept of self-image congruence has been utilized by marketers and researchers as an aid in better understanding how consumers identify themselves with the brands they buy and the retailer they patronize. Although self-image congruity theory has been tested across many product categories, the theory has not been tested extensively in the retailing. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the impact of self image congruence between retailer image and self image of consumer on retailer equity such as retailer awareness, retailer association, perceived retailer quality, and retailer loyalty. The purpose of this study is to find out whether retailer-self image congruence can be a new antecedent of retailer equity. In addition, this study tries to examine how four-dimensional retailer equity constructs (retailer awareness, retailer association, perceived retailer quality, and retailer loyalty) affect customers' repatronage intention. For this study, data were gathered by survey and analyzed by structural equation modeling. The sample size in the present study was 254. The reliability of the all seven dimensions was estimated with Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability values and average variance extracted values. We determined whether the measurement model supports the convergent validity and discriminant validity by Exploratory factor analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. For each pair of constructs, the square root of the average variance extracted values exceeded their correlations, thus supporting the discriminant validity of the constructs. Hypotheses were tested using the AMOS 18.0. As expected, the image congruence hypotheses were supported. The greater the degree of congruence between retailer image and self-image, the more favorable were consumers' retailer evaluations. The all two retailer-self image congruence (actual self-image congruence and ideal self-image congruence) affected customer based retailer equity. This result means that retailer-self image congruence is important cue for customers to estimate retailer equity. In other words, consumers are often more likely to prefer products and retail stores that have images similar to their own self-image. Especially, it appeared that effect for the ideal self-image congruence was consistently larger than the actual self-image congruence on the retailer equity. The results mean that consumers prefer or search for stores that have images compatible with consumer's perception of ideal-self. In addition, this study revealed that customers' estimations toward customer based retailer equity affected the repatronage intention. The results showed that all four dimensions (retailer awareness, retailer association, perceived retailer quality, and retailer loyalty) had positive effect on the repatronage intention. That is, management and investment to improve image congruence between retailer and consumers' self make customers' positive evaluation of retailer equity, and then the positive customer based retailer equity can enhance the repatonage intention. And to conclude, retailer's image management is an important part of successful retailer performance management, and the retailer-self image congruence is an important antecedent of retailer equity. Therefore, it is more important to develop and improve retailer's image similar to consumers' image. Given the pressure to provide increased image congruence, it is not surprising that retailers have made significant investments in enhancing the fit between retailer image and self image of consumer. The enhancing such self-image congruence may allow marketers to target customers who may be influenced by image appeals in advertising.

Flash points for the flammable binary systems, n-propanol+acetic acid and n-propanol+n-propionic acid, were measured by Cleveland open cup tester. The Raoult's law, the van Laar equation and the UNIQUAC equation were used for predicting flash points and were compared with experimentally-derived data. The calculated values based on the van Laar and UNIQUAC equations were found to be better than those based on the Raoult's law. And the predictive curve of the flash point prediction model based on the UNIQUAC equation described the experimentally-derived data more effectively than was the case when the prediction model was based upon the the van Laar equation.

태양광발전 시스템에 있어 일사량의 높고 낮음은 경제성 평가를 결정하는 주요인자로 작용하며 일사량은 지역적, 지형적 환경 조건의 차이에 따라 달리 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 주암 저수지 수면에 설치된 수면태양광 일사량 계측자료와 지상에서의 주암댐 관리단 옥상에 설치된 일사량 계측자료를 비교하여 분석한 결과 수면태양광의 일사량이 지상에서의 일사량 보다 약간 상회하는 패턴을 보이며 풍속, 기온 등 기타 데이터 분석 시 수면이 태양광발전에 있어 지상보다 더 유리하다는 점을 검증 할 수 있었다. 또한 취득한 데이터를 가지고 경제성 분석 프로그램을 사용하여 분석한 결과 지상보다 수면태양광이 더 경제성 있다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Using statistical methods a change-point analysis of oil supply disruption is conducted. The statistical distribution of oil supply disruption is a weibull distribution. The detection of the change-point is applied to Bayesian method and weibull parameters are estimated through Markov chain monte carlo and parameter approach. The statistical approaches to the estimation for the change-point and weibull parameters is implemented with the sets of simulated and real data with small sizes of samples.

This study measures the levels of various receiving points for reducing deviations the floor impact sound. According to the results, 63-125Hz band appeals the large deviations. Among the spacial points, the spot of 0.75m from the wall correspond with the average of all spots. The KS stipulates that the receiving point should be off the wall more than 0.5m But obeying the rules, the large deviation appears. So, this study shows that the adequate receiving point is 0.75m from the wall.

확장성과 유용성 그리고 간편성과 가격 효율성 측면에서 발전을 거듭하고 있는 이더넷은 가장 광범위한 커버리지를 확장해 가고 있으며 최근 전력시스템에도 그 적용성을 넓히고 있다. 또한 이미 표준화가 이루어진 기술과 많은 사용자로 인한 기술적 이해도가 높고 쉽게 구현할 수 있다는 점에서 최근 스마트그리드의 표준 인터페이스와 네트워크 표준으로 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그러나 모든 통신망이 그러하겠지만 특히 이더넷 통신망의 경우 안정적인 동작과 중단 없는 서비스를 통하여 통신망의 효율성을 극대화하기 위해서는 통신망의 고장이나 성능의 저하에 대응하기 위한 관리방안이 필요하다고 하겠다. 따라서 논문에서는 이더넷 기반 링형 네트워크에서의 보호절체 메커니즘과 배전자동화 시스템에 대한 적용을 위한 다양한 적용기술에 대해 기술하고자 한다.
