In a newborn in whom cor triatriatum was missed on echocardiography, infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection was successfully repaired with the aid of cardiac computed tomography (CT). In rare combinations, as in this case, an accurate diagnosis prior to surgery, which is of vital importance for successful repair, can be made through a high index of suspicion and the use of a supplemental imaging modality such as CT.

Granular activated carbon(GAC) is highly effective in removing organic compounds which are resistant to biological disintegration in wastewater treatment. However, GAC has reached its full adsorptive capacity, GAC needs to be regenerated before it can be used for a further adsorption cycle. Countercurrent oxidative reaction (COR) technique has been developed and evaluated for the regeneration of spent GAC. Various parameters such as flame temperature, the loss of carbon, destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of organic compounds, surface area, surface structure, adsorptive capacity, etc. were examined to determine the performance of COR. The results of these tests showed that adosorptive capacity of regenerated GAC was completely recovered, the loss of carbon was controllable, flame temperature was high enough to insure complete destruction and removal $(\geq99.9999%)$ of specific organics of interest, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that are thermally stable, and on formation of toxic byproducts such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) or polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were detected during the regeneration process. The COR technique is environmentally benign, easy to use and less copital intensive than other available regeneration technologies.

We propose a new coherent optical receiver (COR) to detect optical receiver mode (ORM) subchannels selectively in coherent optical (CO) ORM division multiplexing (ORMDM) systems. In the CO-ORMDM systems, each optical channel is a linear sum of ORM subchannels, to obtain high spectral efficiencies (SEs). The COR uses an ORM subcarrier as its local oscillator (LO) and reads the transmitted data at the origin times of ORM signals. For example, if the m^th ORM subcarrier is used as the LO, then the COR reads the data of the m^th ORM subchannel. The proposed COR is fast and can make CO-ORMDM systems useful for real-time optical communication with high SE.

The COR-KNOT suture fastening device has dramatically improved the efficiency of valve suture fixation. Despite its relative ease of use, there are important considerations in deployment to limit the risk of prosthetic valve injury. Herein, we report a case of iatrogenic aortic bioprosthetic insufficiency caused by poorly positioned COR-KNOTs and outline technical strategies to ensure success.

A Precision Spectral Pyranometer (PSP) is mainly used as a reference to calibrate other pyranometers due to its high accuracy and sensitivity in response to the spectrum wavelength range of 0.285 ${\mu}$ to 2.8 ${\mu}$, while the sensitivity of photovoltaic-type Li-Cor pyranometer is limited within a certain spectral range from 0.4 ${\mu}$ to 1.1 ${\mu}$. In this study, two Eppley PSPs($PSP_1$ and $PSP_2$) were first compared to the calibrated Eppley PSPs from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), resulting in two linear correction factors based on the comparison between the logger output (V) from the test PSP and the solar radiation (W/m2) from the NREL PSP. The Li-Cor pyranometer used in this study was then corrected based on the comparison of measured solar radiation ($W/m^2$) from the corrected $PSP_1$ and the Li-Cor pyranometer. In addition, instrument scale corrections were also performed for the PSPs and the Li-Cor from the transmitter to the data logger. From the comparisons, a linear correction factor (1.0214) with R=0.9998 was developed for the scale correction between$PSP_1$ and $PSP_2$, while the Li-Cor pyranometer has a scale(1.0597) and offset (32.046) with R=0.9998 against$PSP_1$. As a result, it was identified that there were good agreements within ${\pm}$ 10 W/ $m^2$ between Eppley $PSP_1$ vs. $PSP_2$ solar radiation and within ${\pm}$ 20 W/$m^2$ between$PSP_1$ vs Li-Cor solar radiation after the empirical scale corrections developed in this study.

Putting score counts about 43 % of the golf score. The dominant idea of the putting motion to amateur golfers as well as to many professional golfers is a pendulum-like motion. If a golfer's putting stroke motion is a pendulum-like motion, the putting motion should be straight-back-and-through, the same backswing, downswing, and follow through length and period, and a swing with a fixed hinge joint. If the putting motions of the human are different from the pendulum motion, there could be confusion in understanding and teaching golf putting. The purpose of this study was to examine the center of rotation(COR) of the putter head to reveal whether professional golfers really putt like a pendulum. Thirteen male professional golfers were recruited for the study. Each golfers executed 10.94 m putts six times on an artificial grass mat. Putter head position data were collected through a 60 Hz three-dimensional motion analysis system and low pass filtered with cut-off frequency of 6 Hz. COR of the putter head was mathematically acquired. Each golfer's last five putting motions were considered. The results show that the COR of the putter head was neither fixed nor located inside of the golfer. The medio-lateral directional component of the COR of the putter head fluctuated in the range of 10 cm during downswing and follow through. The anterior-posterior directional component of the COR of the putter head was fixed from the beginning of the downswing through impact. Just after impact, however, it moved to the target up to 60 cm. The superior-inferior directional component of COR of the putter head moved in a superior direction with the beginning of the downswing and showed peak height just prior to impact. During the follow through, it moved back in an inferior direction. The height-normalized peak value of the COR of the putter head was $1.4{\pm}0.3$ height. Technically speaking, male professional golfers' 10.94 m putting motion is not a pendulum-like motion. The dominating idea of a pendulum-like motion in putting might come from the image of the flawless, smooth motion of a pendulum.

전기방식이 실시되고 있는 상수도 관로는 관의 노후화, 코팅의 열화, 부적절한 방식시스템의 적용 및 타 시설물과의 간섭 등으로 부분적으로 방식전위 미달구간이 존재한다. 이러한 방식전위 미달구간에 대하여 토양환경 측정 및 방식소요전류량 산정, 간섭 시험 등을 통하여 토양환경은 부식이 '발생하는 구간' 및 '미약하게 발생'하는 구간으로 나타났다. 임시 가통전 시험을 통하여 방식소요전류량을 구할 수 있었다. 간섭영향 시험으로 간섭 여부 및 전식 발생지점을 추정할 수 있다. 현장 측정 결과와 설계기준을 바탕으로 적절한 전기방식 보강 계획을 수립하여 현장에 부분적으로 설치하였으며 방식상태를 분석하였다. 단순히 설계된 소요전류량만을 증가시키는 방안보다 부분적인 방식보강 및 주변 배관 상태를 고려하여 적절한 통합 방식방안을 적용하는 것이 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

We herein present a case of a successful correction of cor triatriatum associated with thrombotic pulmonary hypertension diagnosed in an adult female patient. We confirmed diagnosis using transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography in addition to cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical repair comprised excision of the fibromuscular membranous septum in the left atrium, patch closure of an atrial septal defect, and reconstruction of the pulmonary arteries with a vascular graft. Cor triatriatum complicated pulmonary thrombotic hypertension with atrial septal defect is amenable to surgical correction with satisfactory results.

A 3-year-old chow chow dog with abdominal distention was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University. The dog was diagnosed as Cor triatriatum dexter based on echocardiographic results, which demonstrated an abnormal membrane partitioning the right atrium. Echocardiography also revealed turbulent intra-atrial blood flow between the two chambers of the atrium. The dog was treated with balloon dilatation to enlarge the perforation in the abnormal membrane and to improve blood flow. As a result, although the membrane remained, increased perforation reduced the turbulent intra-atrial blood flow. Clinically the patient improved and eventually was discharged. This case is the first domestic Korean clinical veterinary report on the use of balloon valvuloplasty to treat Cor triatriatum dexter in a dog.
