In this paper, we would like to propose the design of symmetric digital filter core in order to use in the radio astronomy. The function of FIR filter core would be designed by VHDL code required at the Data Acquisition System (DAS) of Korean VLBI Network (KVN) based on the FPGA chip of Vertex-4 SX55 model of Xilinx company. The designed digital filter has the symmetric structure to increase the effectiveness of system by sharing the digital filter coefficient. The SFFU(Symmetric FIR Filter Unit) use the parallel processing method to perform the data processing efficiently by using the constrained system clock. In this paper, therefore, for the effective design of SFFU, the Unified Synthesis software ISE Foundation and Core Generator which has excellent GUI environment were used to overall IP core synthesis and experiments. Through the synthesis results of digital filter core, we verified the resource usage is less than 40% such as Slice LUT and achieved the maximum operation frequency is more than 260MHz. We also confirmed the SFFU would be well operated without error according to the SFFU simulation result using the Modelsim 6.1a of Mentor Graphics Company. To verify the function of SFFU, we carried out the additional simulation experiments using the pseudo signal to the Matlab software. From the comparison experimental results of simulation and the designed digital FIR filter, we confirmed the FIR filter was well performed with filter's basic function. So we verified the effectiveness of the designed FIR digital filter with symmetric structure using FPGA and VHDL.

In this paper, We investigated the characteristic analysis of flexibility and muscle strength for exercise to verify capacity in rehabilitation exercise of lumbar using lumbar strengthen exercise instrument. We have experiment in 20th years man and woman who are 20 subject with no medical history, we divided subjects into control group with no exercise and training group with lumbar strengthen exercise. We used Hi-Spine(Medicalscience.korea) also, provided exercise 40 minute a day, three days a week and progressed total four weeks. Moreover in our experiment, subjects exercised four postural position as lay down, sit, stand and stretch each ten minute. We measured trunk extension backward, trunk flexion forward, evaluation of based physical fitness and lumbar joint torque. The reults have shown that there more improved all for flexibility, based physical fitness and lumbar joint torque in training group than control group. We indicated that by rotating 3-D axis movement flatform of exercise instrument, muscle spindle in subject have been stimulated and these rotation direction and angle caused muscle tonus and contraction that makes muscle, flexibility and based physical fitness improve more. Our study can be used rehabilitation exercise program to aged people and patient with lumbar injury.

The major causative bacteria of food poisoning were Salmonella spp. $(35.6\%)$, Staphylococcus aureus $(11.3\%)$ and Vibrio parahaemolyticus $(3.2\%)$ in our country. In this study we attempted isolation of S. aureus from stools of patients with diarrhea. Sixty-four strains $(9.1\%)$ were isolated from 704 the stools of patients with diarrhea. The enterotoxin was detected from 29 isolates $(45.3\%)$: 24 isolates $(37.5\%)$, 3 isolates $(4.7\%)$ and 2 isolates $(3.1\%)$ were A, B and C type, respectively. In the antibiotic susceptibility, 63 isolates $(98.4\%)$ were resistant to penicillin, 60 isolates $(93.8\%)$ to ampicillin, 35 isolates $(54.7\%)$ to erythromycin, 32 isolates $(50.0\%)$ to gentamycin, 22 isolates $(34.4\%)$ to tetracycline and 20 isolates $(31.3\%)$ to oxacillin. All of S. aureus isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol and vancomycin, 20 isolates $(31.3\%)$ were methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MRSA). MRSA isolation rate was higher in male $(35.7\%)$ than female $(26.3\%)$. With the exception of two isolates which were resistant only to penicillin, sixty-one isolates were multiple antibiotic resistance.

Purpose: The primary goal of wound management is to avoid infection. Wounds in all patients presenting to the Emergency Department are contaminated with bacteria. Despite this, there is a low incidence of infection. Unfortunately, physicians continue to use antimicrobial agents indiscriminately. The authors intended to determine the effect of selective antimicrobial agents and the indications for appropriate antimicrobial agent use in traumatic simple wounds. Methods: This prospective study was performed from Jul. 2005 to Aug. 2005. A pilot study had been performed from Nov. 2003 to Jul. 2004 at the Ewha Woman's University Mokdong Hospital. Structured data sheets were completed at the times of the patient's visits to the Emergency Department and to the Outpatient Department for follow-up. Infection was determined at the time of follow-up. The indications of antimicrobial agent use are immunocompromised patients, wounds contaminated for 3 hours or longer, devitalized tissue, and extremity wounds except hand wounds caused by sharp objects. Results: The study enrolled 216 injured patients. The general characteristics of patients and wounds between the two groups were not significantly different. The antimicrobial agent use and infection rate of the pilot study were 227 cases (90.4%) and 10 cases (4.0%), and those of this study were 100 cases (46.3%) and 9 cases (4.1%). In this study, antibiotic use was reduced to almost half compared with the previous study, but the infection rate was similar (p<0.001). Conclusion: Rational use of antimicrobial agents in simple wounds reduced the use of antimicrobial agents in the Emergency Department without increasing the infection rate.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effective policy on secondary childbirth encouragement of married women. The design for this study is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Samples were collected from 322 women who have one child younger than 6 years old. The instruments for this study was a questionnaire consisted of items about policy on childbirth encouragement. The data were analyzed by chi-square test, Mann-whitney's U test, and logistic regression with SPSS 17.0 program. The results showed that the employed women's intention of having a second child was affected by the age, working day per week, and policy on childbirth. But, in case of unemployed women, both of demographic and policy variables were not statistically significant. These findings suggest that different policy on support of birth, work-family life balance, and various tax benefits be developed to satisfy the needs of the employed women and the unemployed women.

To evaluate the factors affecting the incidence of ectopic pregnancy following tubal reversal, the clinical characteristics of ectopic pregnancy group (N=28)and intrauterine pregnancy group (N=316)were compared in 344 cases of pregnancy following tubal reversal using microsurgical technique at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecolgy from July 1980 to May 1989. We found no significant relationship between the incidence of ectopic pregnancy and the duration of sterilization. Although the incidence rate (11.2%) of ectopic pregnancy following laparoscopic cautery appeared to be the highest among tubal sterilization methods, none showed statistically significant differences. There was a fourfold difference in the incidence rate of ectopic pregnancy between post-reversal tubal length less than 7cm (12.7%)and greater than 7cm (3.5%). The mean interval from tubal reversal to conception was 15.7months in ectopic pregnancy group, and 9. 3months in intrauterine pregnancy group, the difference reaching statistical significance. While most(80%)of the pregnancies were achieved within the first 12months following tubal reversal in intrauterine pregnancy group, 50% of the pregnancies occured in the same period, and the cumulative pregnancy rate is related in a linear fashion to the duration after reversal in ectopic pregnancy group. The incidence rate of ectopic pregnancy was found to be higher after cornual-ampullary anastomosis and cornual-isthmic anastomosis.

그래핀(Graphene)은 한 겹(layer)의 2차원 판상 구조에 탄소원자들이 육각형의 기본 형태로 배열되어 있는 나노재료로서, 우수한 역학적 강도와 화학적, 열적 안정성 및 흥미로운 전기 전자적 성질을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근, 이러한 특징적이고도 우수한 물성으로 인하여 기초물성 연구에서부터 차세대 응용까지 고려한 각종 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 그래핀을 얻는 방법에는 물리 화학적 박리, 열화학증기증착법(TCVD), 탄화규소의 흑연화, 흑연산화물의 환원 등의 방법들이 알려져 있다. 그 중 TCVD법이 두께의 균일성이 높은 그래핀을 합성하는데 가장 적절한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 TCVD법은 탄소를 포함하는 원료가스를 분해하기 위하여 고온의 공정을 필요로 하게 되지만, 향후 산업적 응용을 고려한다면 대면적 그래핀의 저온합성법 개발은 풀어야 할 시급한 과제로 인식되고 있다. 현재는 메탄을 원료가스로 사용하여 $900^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 그래핀을 합성하는 추세이고, 최근 아세틸렌등의 활성원료가스를 이용하여 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 저온 합성한 연구결과들도 속속 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고주파 플라즈마를 이용하여 비교적 저온에서 탄소원료가스를 효율적으로 분해하고, 확산플라즈마 영역에 TCVD 챔버를 결합한 하이브리드 화학증기증착법을 이용하여 그래핀의 저온합성을 도모하였다. 원료가스로는 메탄을 사용하였고, 기판으로는 전자빔증착법으로 증착한 니켈 박막 및 구리포일을 사용하였다. 실험결과, 그래핀은 $600^{\circ}C$ 부근의 저온에서도 수 층으로 이루어진 그래핀이 합성된 것을 확인하였다. 합성한 그래핀은 분석의 용이함 및 향후 다양한 응용을 위하여 실리콘산화막 및 투명고분자 기판 위에 전사(transfer)하였다. 합성된 그래핀의 구조평가를 위해서는 광학현미경과 Raman분광기를 주로 사용하였으며, 원자힘현미경(AFM), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 투과전자현미경(TEM) 등도 이용하였다.

Grifola frondosa is a promising new kind of cultivated mushroom owing to its excellent taste and functionality. However, more research is required to determine its value. In this study, the effects of pretreating Grifola frondosa tea by drying, steaming, and warming, on quality characteristics and antioxidant activities were analyzed. There was no difference in sugar, soluble solid, and nitrogen content between dried and steamed tea. The color of the warm pretreated tea was the darkest, and the amino acid content was 462.9 mg/L, which was 1.8 times higher than that of the other pretreatments. Moreover, the warm pretreated tea had the highest total polyphenol and flavonoid content, 14.6 mg/g and 2.2 mg/g, respectively. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities significantly increased with the increase of phenolic compounds. Warming pre-treatment slightly increased the taste preference to 7.0. In conclusion, warming Grifola frondosa before drying was confirmed to improve the extraction of nutrients, antioxidants, and taste preference.

Objectives: This study was conducted to propose the need of re-establishing the criteria of the body weight classification in the elderly. We compared the Asia-Pacific Region Criteria (APR-C) with Entropy Model Criteria (ENT-C) using Morbidity rate of chronic diseases which correlates significantly with Body Mass Index (BMI). Methods: Subjects were 886 elderly female participating in the 2007-2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). We compared APR-C with those of ENT-C using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve and logistic regression analysis. Results: In the case of the morbidity of hypertension, the results were as follows: Where it was in the T-off point of APR-C, sensitivity was 67.5%, specificity was 43.1%, and Youden's index was 10.6. While in the cut-off point of ENT-C, it was 56.7%, 56.6%, and 13.3 respectively. In the case of the morbidity of diabetes, the results were as follows: In the cut-off point of APR-C, Youden's index was 14.2. While in the cut-off point of ENT-C, it was 17.2 respectively. The Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) of the subjects who had more than 2 diseases among hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 0.615 (95% CI: 0.578-0.652). Compared to the normal group, the odds ratio of the hypertension group which will belong to the overweight or obesity was 1.79 (95% CI: 1.30-2.47) in the APR-C, and 2.04 (95% CI: 1.49-2.80) in the ENT-C (p < 0.001). Conclusions: We conclude that the optimal cut-off point of BMI to distinguish between normal weight and overweight was $24kg/m^2$ (ENT-C) rather than $23kg/m^2$ (APR-C).
