Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) observations from the Aquarius satellite in the East Sea show large systematic biases mainly caused by the surrounding lands and Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI) along the descending orbits on which the satellite travels from the Asian continent to the East Sea. To develop a technique for correcting the systematic biases unique to the East Sea, the least square regression between in situ observations of salinity and the reanalyzed salinities by HYCOM is first performed. Then monthly mean reanalyzed salinities fitted to the in situ salinities are compared with monthly mean Aquarius salinities to calculate mean biases in $1^{\circ}{\times}1^{\circ}$ boxes. Mean biases in winter (December-March) are found to be considerably larger than those in other seasons possibly caused by the inadequate correction of surface roughness in the sea surrounded by the land, and thus the mean bias corrections are performed using two bias tables. Large negative biases are found in the area near the coast of Japan and in the areas with islands. In the northern East Sea, data sets using the ascending orbit only (SCIA) are chosen for correction because of large RFI errors on the descending orbit (SCID). Resulting mean biases between the reanalysis salinities fitted to in situ observations and the bias corrected Aquarius salinities are less than 0.2 psu in all areas. The corrected mean salinity distributions in March and September demonstrate marked improvements when compared with mean salinities from the World Ocean Atlas (WOA [2005-2012]). In September, salinity distributions based on the corrected Aquarius and on the WOA (2005-2012) show similar distributions of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) in the East Sea.

The monthly salinity maps from Aquarius satellite covering the entire East Sea were produced to analyze the low-salinity water appearing in fall every year. The low-salinity water in the northern East Sea began to appear in May-June, spreading southward along the coast and eastward north of the subpolar front. Low-salinity water from the East China Sea entered the East Sea through the Korea Strait from July to September and was mixed with low-salinity water from the northern East Sea in the Ulleung Basin. The strength of the low-salinity water from the East China Sea was dependent on the strength of the southerly wind of the East China Sea in July-August. The salinity reaches a minimum in September with a distribution parallel to the latitude of $37.5^{\circ}N$. In October, low salinity water is distributed along the mean current path and subpolar front and the entire East Sea is covered with the low salinity water in November. Water with salinity larger than 34 psu starts to flow into the East Sea through the Korea Strait in December and it expands gradually northward up to the subpolar front in January- February.

One of the major current challenges to nuclear energy lies in its competitiveness. To stay competitive the industry needs to reduce maintenance and fuel cycle costs, while enhancing safety features. Extended burnup is one of the methods applied to meet these objectives However, there are a number of potential fuel failure causes related to increased burnup, as follows: l) Corrosion of zirconium alloy cladding and the water chemistry parameters that enhance corrosion; 2) Dimensional changes of zirconium alloy components, 3) Stresses that challenge zirconium alloy ductility and the effect of hydrogen (H) pickup and redistribution as it affects ductility, 4) Fuel rod internal pressure, 5) Pellet-cladding interactions (PCI) and 6) pellet-cladding mechanical interactions (PCMI). This paper discusses current and potential failure mechanisms of these failure mechanisms.

본 논문은 1830년 프랑스 파리 뤼 뒤 박에서 발현한 성모상을 분석심리학적으로 고찰하고 있다. 이를 위해, 중세기 연금술서 『로이즈너의 판도라』(1588)에 실려 있는 '성모 마리아의 대관식으로 묘사된 육체의 신성화'라는 제목의 그림을 전거로 삼아 성모상에 드러나는 원형적 모티프들을 확충하였다. 이 성모상에는 융 심리학의 핵심 개념인 개성화의 과정과 결과를 보여주는 원형적 모티프들이 집약되어 나타난다. 판도라 그림이나 발현 성모상에서 나타나는 개성화 과정을 표현하는 이런 상징들은 집단적 무의식을 구성하는 신화소들의 표현이다. 융은 이 신화소들이 모든 종교의 궁극적인 바탕이며 모체로 보았다. 발현한 성모상에 나타나는 신화소들을 살펴볼 때, 성모 발현 현상은 집단적 무의식에 배열된 자기 원형상이 시공간의 영역, 즉 시간과 공간을 인지 범주로 삼고 있는 목격자 개인의 의식에 나타난 것이다. 뤼 뒤 박 성모상은 그리스도교의 십자고상(十字苦像) 상징에서 충분히 표현되지 못했던 신성과 인간성의 대극 융합을 보여준다. 이런 의미에서 보면, 발현한 성모상은 물병자리 시대를 여는 새로운 구세주의 상이다. 성모상은 신성이 인간의 내면으로부터 기원하며, 따라서 육체를 지닌 각각의 인간이 신성을 육화하는 바탕이며 심리학적 구원의 주체임을 보여준다. 성모상은 그리스도교가 지닌 영적인 가치가 급격하게 감소하는 시대에 인간의 정신이 담지하고 있는 신성의 가치를 일깨워 준다.

Background: This study was undertaken to evaluate the positional relationship between planes of the glenoid component (the scapular plane and the perpendicular plane to the glenoid) and its surrounding structures. Methods: Computed tomography (CT) images of both shoulders of 100 patients were evaluated using the 3-dimensional CT reconstruction program ($Aquarius^{(R)}$; TeraRecon). We determined the most lateral scapular bony structure of the scapular plane and measured the shortest distance between the anterolateral corner of the acromion and the scapular plane. The distance between the scapular plane and the midpoint of the line connecting the posterolateral corner of acromion and the anterior tip of the coracoid process (fulcrum axis) was also evaluated. The perpendicular plane was then adjusted to the glenoid and the same values were re-assessed. Results: The acromion was the most lateral scapular structure of scapular plane and perpendicular plane to the glenoid. The average distance from the anterolateral corner of the acromion to the scapular plane was $10.44{\pm}5.11mm$, and to the plane perpendicular to the glenoid was $9.55{\pm}5.13mm$. The midpoint of fulcrum axis was positioned towards the acromion and was measured at $3.90{\pm}3.21mm$ from the scapular plane and at $3.84{\pm}3.17mm$ from the perpendicular plane to the glenoid. Conclusions: Our data indicates that the relationship between the perpendicular plane to the glenoid plane and its surrounding structures is reliable and can be used as guidelines during glenoid component insertion (level of evidence: Level IV, case series, treatment study).

Many medicinal plants have been used for the treatment of edema, jaundice, and gonorrhea in traditional Oriental medicine. This screening study was designed to search the positive inotropic effects of herbal extracts in beating rabbit atria. Aquarius extracts of twenty six herbs were examined in atrial mechanical dynamics such as pulse pressure and stroke volume and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), one of the main hormones involved in the regulation of the body fluid and blood pressure homeostasis in perfused beating rabbit atria. Sophora flavescens Ait., Rheum officinale Baill., Acorus gramineus Sol., Chelidonium majus L., Pulsatilla koreana Nakai., Reynoutria japonica Houtt., Euphorbia lathyris L., Pyrrosia lingua (Thunb.) Farwell, Poncirus trifoliata Rafin., Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, Kochia scoparia Schrad. significantly increased stroke volume and pulse pressure. However, those herbal extracts were not induced ANP secretion. We clarified the eleven herbal extracts for the positive inotropic effect independent of ANP secretion in beating rabbit atria. Thus these results provide a beneficial data for the treatment of the impairment of body fluid and blood pressure in traditional Oriental medicine.

Background Patients who have undergone enucleation during infancy due to retinoblastoma can develop microorbitalism due to the decreased growth stimulation from the eyeball and the surrounding soft tissues. Anatomically, the orbit consist of parts of the frontal bone superiorly, the maxilla inferiorly, the ethmoid bone medially, and the zygoma laterally. Considering the possibility of surgically expanding the orbit using tripod osteotomy, in this study we conducted tripod osteotomy on adult patients with microorbitalism of retinoblastoma. Methods Tripod osteotomy was conducted to expand the orbital volume in adult patients with microorbitalism due to enucleation in infancy for retinoblastoma. The orbital volume was measured using the Aquarius Workstation ver. 4.3.6 and the orbit width was measured with preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional facial bone computed tomography (CT) imaging. Preoperative and postoperative photographs were used to visualize the difference produced by the surgery. Results The orbital volume of the affected side was 10.3 $cm^3$ before and 12.5 $cm^3$ after the surgery, showing an average increase in volume of 2.2 $cm^3$ (21.4%). The increase in the obital width was confirmed by the preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional facial CT images and aesthetic improvement was observed by the preoperative and postoperative photographs. Conclusions Tripod osteotomy, which realigns the orbital bone, zygoma, and maxilla, is used to correct posttraumatic malunion as well as non-traumatic congenital abnormalities such as that seen in facial cleft. We applied this procedure in microorbitalism secondary to enucleation for retinoblastoma to allow orbital expansion and correct asymmetry.

본 연구의 목적은 MDCT의 다양한 매개변수와 재구성 조건을 반영하고 z축과 x/y plane의 분해능을 동시에 평가할 수 있는 새로운 팬텀과 평가 방법을 정립하고 유용성을 파악하고자 한다. CT 장비는 Aquilion ONE(Cannon Medical System, Otawara, Japan)을 사용하였으며, 관전압 120 kV에 관전류는 260 mA, 그리고 재구성 영상은 D-FOV 300 mm²로 동일하게 설정하였다. 자체 제작한 SSP 측정 팬텀을 이용하여 고대조도 분해능과 절편두께 분해능을 평가하였다. 이때 갠트리 등각점부터의 거리와 재구성 알고리즘을 변화시켰다. 절편두께는 0.6 mm에서 10.0 mm까지 5단계로 재구성하였다. 영상의 분석은 Aquarius iNtuition Edition ver. 4.4.13.P6 software (Terarecon, California, USA)의 Profile tool을 이용하여 FWHM과 FWTM을 측정하였으며, ImageJ program(v1.53n, National Institutes of Health, USA)의 Plot profile tool을 사용하여 SPQI와 신호강도를 평가하였다. x/y plane의 고대조도 분해능을 평가한 결과, 갠트리 등각점에서 거리가 멀어질수록 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 mm의 절편두께에서 각각 4.09~11.99%, 4.12~35.52%, 4.70~37.64% 감소되었으며, 공칭 절편두께가 두꺼워질수록 감소폭이 증가되었다. 그리고 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 mm의 절편두께에서 High 알고리즘을 적용하면 고대조도 분해능이 각각 74.83, 15.18, 81.25% 증가되었다. x/y plane 및 z축의 절편두께 분해능을 평가한 결과, SSP 곡선에서 FWHM은 거의 일정하지만 사용자가 설정한 공칭 절편두께보다 모두 높게 측정되었다. 갠트리 등각점부터 거리가 멀어질수록 절편두께의 분해능이 감소되었다. 축방향 스캔이 나선형 방법보다 z축 FWHM과 FWTM이 더 증가되었다. 특히, 절편두께가 얇을수록 공칭 절편두께와 오차 범위가 증가되었다. 그리고 SPQI는 절편두께가 커질수록 증가되었으며 나선형 스캔이 축방향 스캔보다 90%에 가까워졌다. MDCT 장치의 성능을 평가할 수 있는 SSP 팬텀을 개발하여 x/y plane과 z축의 분해능을 비교 평가함으로서 노후 장비 관리와 화질 평가의 구체적인 방법으로 활용될 수 있으며, 진단 영상 분야에서 병변 감별에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose: The zygoma (Zygomaticomaxillary) complexes make up a large portion of the orbital floor and lateral orbital walls. Zygoma fracture frequently causes the posteromedial displacement of bone fragments, and the collapse or overlapping of internal orbital walls. This process consequently can lead to the orbital volume change. The reduction of zygoma in an anterolateral direction may influence on the potential bone defect area of the internal orbital walls. Thus we performed the quantitative analysis of orbital volume change in zygoma fracture before and after operation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of preoperative and postoperative three-dimensional computed tomography scans in 39 patients with zygoma fractures who had not carried out orbital wall reconstruction. Orbital volume measurement was obtained through Aquarius Ver. 4.3.6 program and we compared the orbital volume change of injured orbit with that of the normal contralateral orbit. Results: The average orbital volume of normal orbit was 19.68 $cm^3$. Before the operation, the average orbital volume of injured orbit was 18.42 $cm^3$. The difference of the orbital volume between the injured orbit and the normal orbit was 1.18 $cm^3$ (6.01%) on average. After operation, the average orbital volume of injured orbit was 20.81 $cm^3$. The difference of the orbital volume between the injured orbit and the normal orbit was 1.17 $cm^3$ (5.92%) on average. Conclusion: There are considerable volume changes in zygoma fracture which did not accompany internal orbital wall fracture before and after operation. Our study reflects the change of bony frame, also that of all parts of the orbital wall, in addition to the bony defect area of orbital floor, in an isolated zygoma fracture so that it evaluates orbital volume change more accurately. Thus, the measurement of orbital volume in isolated zygoma fractures helps predict the degree of enophthalmos and decide a surgical plan.
