Purpose : Renal duplication is a common occurrence, and the range of ureteral and renal anomalies draining the two poles of the duplex kidney leads to a variety of clinical presentations. Method : A series of 61 children with duplicated systems was studied retrospectively who were admitted during last 12years. Results : Of the children $60.6\%$ were accompanied with urologic anomalies that required surgical treatment, and most children initially were presented with urinary tract infection. $42.6\%$ of children were either diagnosed incidentally during evaluation of other non-urologic disease or during follow-up evaluation of abnormal antenatal renal sonogram. Conclusion : From our point view, children with history of abnormal antenatal renal sonogram, or with symptoms such as urinary tract infection, hematuria, abdominal pain should be evaluated radiologially fully to confirm further abnormality and accompanied complications. And routine follow-up using abdominal ultrasonogram, VCUG, and urine culture should be used to prevent and detect early treatable complications.

This study investigates the association of the AFB stain with the cycle threshold (Ct) value of the Cobas TaqMan MTB test (CTM test, Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland), and it establishes the base data for semi-quantitative identification of M. tuberculosis by the Ct value. CTM test were simultaneously conducted on 8,389 specimens submitted to the Samsung Medical Center from January 2015 to December 2015, and the results were analyzed and compared retrospectively investigates the association of the AFB stain with the Ct value of the CTM test, and it establishes the base data for semi-quantitative identification of M. tuberculosis by the Ct value. The Ct values for 135 positive specimens of the CTM were inversely correlated with the AFB stain (rs=-0.545, P<0.01). When the Ct value of the CTM test and the time to positivity (TTP) of the mycobacteria cultures were verified based on the AFB stain, they were found to have a positive correlation (rs=0.136, P<0.01). The negative correlation between the CTM test and the AFB stain grade was demonstrated. The clinical significance was verified by applying these criteria to the clinical results. The semi-quantitative criteria of this study can be used to facilitate the rapid isolation of patients with active tuberculosis and infection control in the hospital.

A 5-year-old male Pointer dog weighing 24 kg was referred because of a chronic cough. The dog was routinely vaccinated and treated monthly with medications to prevent heartworm and endoparasites. Blood analyses revealed no abnormalities. Chest radiographs showed interstitial and bronchial patterns in the caudal lung fields. Bronchoscopic imaging identified a collapse of the left bronchus with a mucopurulent discharge, indicating the onset of bronchomalacia. Computed tomography also showed bronchial collapse and a tapering angle in the left caudal bronchus. This case study describes the diagnosis of bronchomalacia in a Pointer dog with a chronic cough, and suggests that bronchoscopic examination is a valuable tool for identifying of the onset of bronchomalacia in dogs presenting with an uncontrolled cough.

The wear of railway track affects loss of rough ride, noise or vibration of train and traveling safety. Moreover as the track is worn away, this promotes destruction of structural mechanism of rail track which can bring about increasing of rail track maintenance cost drastically. For this reason, it is very important and interested research subject to design railway track structure and to analyse train movement mechanism based on systematic analysis of the reasons causing rail wear possible in real field. In this research, for the efficient maintenance, Life Cycle Performance of rail track and maintenance characteristics are computed considering some track components such as track type, contracting type, sleeper type and roadbed type. Time - Wear probabilistic distribution relationship as well as multiple regression analysis based on time, curvature and wear data are computed to predict the service life remainder of railway track and to be adapted to safety assessment.

Pulmonary function tests are widely used to diagnose and determine patients' therapy in clinic. And it was also applied in the research of the physiology and dynamics for lung disease. Among the pulmonary function tests, spirometry is the most easy and economic test. Spirometers are medical instruments that measure the instantaneous rate of volume flow of respired Bas. The mechanical spirometer was mostly used in the past. Up to the present, the most popular method of spirometer is the differential pressure technique with which change in the volume of flow are transferred to change in pressure. This kind of instrument suffers from several limitations, pressure drop, difficulty in maintenance and short period of calibration. Therefore, this study has begun to implement ultrasound spirometer, which is free of pressure loss and has wide range, focusing on the flow measurement technique and diagnostic algorithm.

Bascule bridge, with its use to help vessels ply, has a several examples overseas of being serviced for more than decades years by careful maintenance, admitted its significance as landmarks for its rareness. Yeongdo Bridge, the sole bascule bridge in Korea was reconstructed in 2013 after being demolished because of its corrosion and aging, and now operates once in a day. Recently, safety inspections are executed thanks to demands getting higher for maintenance and safety of bridges, but measurement and analysis about bascule bridges are scarce. This study includes the analysis of the bascule bridge's behavior such as stress, vibration and reaction in normal condition and while it lifts up, based on measurement. We expect that this study will be used as an initial data to compare and confirm bridge's changes as service year and the number of operation increase.

Common web services have been continuously targeted by hackers due to an access control policy that must be allowed to an unspecified number of people. In order to cope with this situation, companies regularly check web vulnerabilities and take measures according to the risk of discovered vulnerabilities. The risk of these web vulnerabilities is calculated through preliminary statistics and self-evaluation of domestic and foreign related organizations. However, unlike static diagnosis such as security setting and source code, web vulnerability check is performed through dynamic diagnosis. Even with the same vulnerability item, various attack results can be derived, and the degree of risk may vary depending on the subject of diagnosis and the environment. In this respect, the predefined risk level may be different from that of the actual vulnerability. In this paper, to improve this point, we present a web vulnerability risk assessment model based on the attack result centering on the cyber kill chain.

In this paper, the fault analysis of the momentum wheel, which is a high-speed rotary machinery of 'Control Moment Gyro' for medium and large satellite, was described. For fault diagnosis, envelope spectrum analysis was performed using Hilbert transformation method and signal demodulation method to find the impact signals periodically generated from amplitude modulated signals. Through this, the fault of the momentum wheel was diagnosed by analyzing whether there was a harmonic component of the rotational frequency and a bearing fault frequency in a specific frequency band with a high peak.
