The purpose of this study is to suggest the new strategies for strengthening the competi tiveness of Incheon port. To measure the calling factors and satisfaction of ports, this study developed a list of 24 items using a seven-point Likert scale through the previous literature reviews, pilot test and emerging factors. Factor analysis, regression analysis, one sample T-test, IPA and SPSS were conducted to verify the determinants choosing ports and customer satisfaction. The result of an empirical study revealed that the cargo volume and information system, etc. in Incheon port was evaluated as satisfied factors and berth availability and port charge, etc. as dissatisfied factors. Based on the outcomes of this study, to strengthen the competitiveness of Incheon port, several strategies were advised such as the inducement of North American and European cargo, port infrastructure, dedicated terminal and GTO inducement, hinterland construction, logistics companies inducement and cooperation with neighboring ports.

등부표는 태양광발전을 이용한 독립형 전력계통시스템으로 일사량과 표면온도에 의한 태양광 발전효율 저하에 따른 등명기 소등 또는 광력 미약으로 항로표지에 대한 신뢰성 확보에 대한 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 일부 항로표지용 고효율 충방전조절기 제품이 개발되고 있으나 "항로표지 장비 용품 표준화 규정"의 항로표지용 충방전조절기 표준규격(제3조3호)이 제정고시 되어 충방전조절기의 기능 및 성능개선을 추진할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 개정된 충방전조절기의 표준규격의 성능을 만족하고 상용화가 가능한 구조기술을 개발하였다.

충돌확률은 선박 충돌, 좌초사고를 교통량 관측에 기초한 사고 발생건수와 수로의 지형적인 조건에 따른 기하확률로 정량화한 자료이다. 1970년대 Fujii와 Macduff의 연구를 시작으로 많은 연구기관에서 충돌확률을 제시하였지만, 우리나라 해역의 조건에 적합한 충돌, 좌초확률은 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 부산항 제5항로에서 등부표 접촉사고 발생건수를 바탕으로 진입항로, 직선항로, 변침항로를 구분하여 좌초발생확률($P_a$) 및 준사고(좌초)발생확률($P_c$)을 도출하였다. 사고 발생율이 높은 진입항로에서 좌초발생확률($P_a$) $2.26{\times}10^{-5}$, 준사고(좌초) 발생확률($P_c$) $2.30{\times}10^{-3}$으로 산출되어 타 항로보다 등부표 접촉사고 확률이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 추후 각 해역별 충돌확률을 도출하여 선박 안전성 평가의 기준을 구하고자 한다.

기술개발이란 끈질긴 집념과 참신한 아이디어 없이는 이룰수 없다. 1975년부터 5년간 KIST연구실에서 항결핵제 기술개발에 전념하면서 겪었던 에피소드를 소개한다. 당시 가장 비쌌던 항생물질인 항결핵제의 중간원료 3포밀 리파마이신 SV를 국산화하기 위한 프로젝트였는데 모든 연구과정을 끝내고 마무리 결정화하는 과정이 안풀렸으나 어느 일요일 반짝 떠오른 '두가지 용매를 실험해보자'라는 아이디어 하나로 수입품과 같은 시제품을 개발하는데 성공을 거둘수 있었다.

소흑산도항 방파제의 전체 길이 500m가 완공된 것이 1999년 12월 말일경 이었고 2000년 8월 31일 제12호 태풍 프라피룬(PRAPIRON)이 내습(순간최대풍속：58.3m/sec,4시간 지속 최 대풍속 47.4m/sec)하여 완공된 방파제 두부구간 64m가 유실되고 제간부 436m의 부분파손을 입는 피해를 보았다. (중략)

Background: It is not known with certainty whether patients with persistently positive sputum smear results who have also had negative sputum culture results require prolongation of treatment for tuberculosis in order to avoid an increased risk of eventual relapse. The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively describe the treatment characteristics and evaluate the appropriate duration of treatment in these patients. Methods: Sixty of 69 patients with sputum smear positive and culture negative tests at 5 months after first line anti-tuberculous chemotherapy from 2002 to 2003 were retrospectively analyzed. Exclusion criteria included incomplete treatment or resistance to rifampicin or two additional antibiotics, as determined by a drug susceptibility test (DST). Results: Smear conversion of the study subjects was observed after $8.3{\pm}2.3$ months treatment, and the patients were culture negative after $2.0{\pm}0.8$ months. The relapse rates of the study subjects were 3.8, 10.0, and 25.8% after 1, 2, and 5 years of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, respectively. The relapse rates were not significantly affected by a series of risk factors such as age, sex, presence of diabetes, a sputum culture examination after 2 months treatment, previous treatment history, chest radiograph, and duration of the treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion: Regimen change is not required for patients with persistent smear positive but culture negative tests in the fifth month for first line antituberculous treatment. However, a further study will be needed to clarify the high relapse rate in this specific group of patients.

This paper proposes a prepaid system promotion policy for the 3G(WCDMA) MVNO with regard to the newly included paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Article 32 (User Protection) and Article 38 (Provision of Wholesale Telecommunications Services) of the Telecommunication Business Act, which was revised on March 22, 2010. As of June 2011, there are only a few prepaid system subscribers to the mobile communications service due to various limitations, including prepay, interconnection, carrier selection, the MVNO policy, and number portability. However, overseas communications service regulatory agencies and service providers are increasingly presenting policies and strategies for mobile prepaid plans, in order to accommodate the various customer demands that are increasing the use of smart phones and data. This paper advances various proposals concerning promotion of the prepaid system by the 3G MVNO under the current Telecommunication Business Act, including separation of the prepaid data system and the mobile network; introduction of a monthly fixed-rate hybrid prepaid system, a top-up system and USIM system; introduction of mobile network carrier selection; differentiated retail discounts between prepaid and post-paid prices; revision of the retail discount policy for wholesale provision; increase in the number of mandatory service providers; and in-depth consideration of the introduction of a number portability policy for the prepaid and post-paid systems.

This crossover study was performed in order to compare the effects of cetirizine, loratadine, and terfenadine in canine skin. Five healthy dogs were used. Cetirizine 0.5 mg/kg, loratadine 5 mg/kg and terfenadine 5 mg/kg were administered orally 4 hours before the experiment. Erythema indices and wheal size were assessed by Hexameter ($MX^{\circledR}$ 18, CK, Germany) and skin reaction guide, respectively. Cetirizine-induced erythema inhibition was generally higher than other drugs and was significantly different from placebo. Cetirizine was superior to placebo at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 minutes (p< 0.01). Cetirizine also was superior to placebo at 9 minutes (p< 0.05). Loratadine and terfenadine erythema inhibition were better than after placebo treatment from 4 to 9 minutes, but erythema index of terfenadine at 7 minutes was not observed probability of 95% and 99%. At 10 minutes, intradermal injection of the histamine caused a mean wheal dimension for placebo, cetirizine, loratadine and terfenadine, which were 13.25$\pm$0.75 mm,7.5$\pm$ 1.02 mm (53% reduction, p<0.007),6.2$\pm$0.58 mm(43% reduction, p <0.01), and 8.4 $\pm$0.67 mm(37% reduction, p< 0.05), respectively, comparing with placebo. Loratadine and cetirizine were good antihistamines for clinical therapy for atopic dermatitis in dog.

Purpose : Electroencephalography (EEG) findings can play a critical role in a variety of decisions, including initiation and withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) therapy. Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are predictor of recurrent seizures. We investigated IEDs in EEG after AED therapy and related factors in epileptic children. Methods : The subjects were 257 children [151 males and 106 females; age, 6.79 (3.40) years; duration of therapy, 2.48 (1.85) years] diagnosed with epilepsy at the Department of Pediatrics, Pusan National University Hospital between January 2001 and December 2007, who received AEDs for more than 6 months. EEG was performed at the intervals of 6-12 months. We divided patients into 4 groups according to IED detection before and after AEDs treatment. Related clinical factors, including gender, age at the start of treatment, seizure type, cause of seizure, AED frequency, seizure control, duration of AED therapy, and background activity were investigated in the 4 groups. Results : Generalized epilepsy was relatively frequen in patients who did not show IEDs in last follow-up EEG. There were no clinically significant differences according to gender, age at the start of treatment, cause of seizure, AED frequency, seizure control, duration of AED medication, and background activity in the 4 groups ($P$>0.05). Conclusion : IEDs changed after AED treatment in one-third of the patients. Generalized epilepsy is positive factor for negative IEDs in last follow-up EEG.

Antiepileptic drug hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS), a delayed immunological reaction, is a relatively rare side effect of antiepileptic drugs and is usually overlooked. An array of symptoms can occur one to eight weeks after treatment with an antiepileptic drug. Symptoms may be as simple as a fever, skin rash, or lymphadenopathy, but may eventually involve internal organs and cause fatal outcomes. Additionally, because the symptoms resemble the features of various arrays of diseases and the reported mortality rate is approximately 10%, the importance of early diagnosis and ability to differentiate AHS from other diseases cannot be overemphasized. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with AHS caused by lamotrigine, which mimicked atypical Kawasaki disease and infectious mononucleosis.
