The purpose of this study was to research the effect of sewing threads on sewability. The materials used in this study were cotton threads, p/c spun thread, polyester spun thread and core-spun thread, which were the same in count, but different in fibers. In order to approach the purpose of this study, the change of sew-ability was measured according to the number of laundering. The results from this measure were as follows; 1. The order of seam strength according to the sewing threads was polyester spun threads, p/c spun thread, core-spun thread, and cotton thread in proportion to the loop strength of the sewing threads. The preserving rate of strength after laundering was the highest in core spun thread. 2. The order of seam elongation according to the sewing threads was polyester spun thread, p/c spun thread, core-spun thread and cotton thread in proportion to the elongation of the sewing threads. The preserving rate of elongation after laundering was the highest in core spun thread. 3. The order of seam puckering according to the sewing threads' was core-spun thread, p/c spun thread, polyester spun thread and cotton thread. The order of changing rate after laundering was the same as the former order. 4. The order of the needle temperature according to the sewing threads was polyester spun thread, core-spun thread, p/c spun thread and cotton thread.

Objective : To analyze the clinical courses and outcomes after anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) for the treatment of postoperative spondylodiscitis. Methods : A total of 13 consecutive patients with postoperative spondylodiscitis treated with ALIF at our institute from January, 1994 to August, 2013 were included (92.3% male, mean age 54.5 years old). The outcome data including inflammatory markers (leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the modified Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and bony fusion rate using spine X-ray were obtained before and 6 months after ALIF. Results : All of the cases were effectively treated with combination of systemic antibiotics and ALIF with normalization of the inflammatory markers. The mean VAS for back and leg pain before ALIF was $6.8{\pm}1.1$, which improved to $3.2{\pm}2.2$ at 6 months after ALIF. The mean ODI score before ALIF was $70.0{\pm}14.8$, which improved to $34.2{\pm}27.0$ at 6 months after ALIF. Successful bony fusion rate was 84.6% (11/13) and the remaining two patients were also asymptomatic. Conclusion : Our results suggest that ALIF is an effective treatment option for postoperative spondylodiscitis.

Mycoplasmas have long been suspected of contributing to involuntary infertility in couples. However considerable disagreement exits concerning the role of genital mycoplasma infection in human infertility. Several investigators have noted abnormalities in the semen analysis of men with positive mycoplasma cultures, and early epidemiologic studies indicated that Ureaplasma urealyticum was linked to human reproductive failure on the basis of higher frequencies of isolation from infertile versus fertile couples and successful pregnancies in infertile couples after doxycycline therapy. However, subsequent investigators have questioned these findings because there are many studies in which treatment for mycoplasma in the male or female did not demonstrate an improved pregnancy rate, and semen samples from unexplained infertile men containing ureaplasmas have not revealed poorer motility, fewer spermatozoa and more aberrant forms. The objective of this study were to investigate the incidence rate of mycoplasma in semen and to investigate whether the presence of mycoplasma in semen makes significant difference to the semen volume, sperm motility and sperm counts. The results were that the rate of isolation of mycoplasma species was 70.3%. Semen volume is $2.84{\pm}1.01ml$ for culture negative and $3.15{\pm}1.42ml$ for culture positive group. Sperm motility is $46.23{\pm}15.80%$ for culture negative and $50.09{\pm}15.69%$ for culture positive group, and sperm count is $95.47{\pm}47.14({\times}(P)10^6/ml)$ for culture negative and $86.73{\pm}47.59({\times}10^6/ml)$ for culture positive group. In conclusion, we suggest that the presence of mycoplasma in semen makes no significant differences to the sperm parameters.

본 논문에서는 고속 멀티미디어 통신 시스템을 위한 효율적인 FFT 알고리즘과 이의 하드웨어 구현 결과를 제시한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 radix-4 버터플라이 연산자를 기반으로 구현되어 기존의 radix-2 버터플라이 연산자 기반의 알고리즘에 비해 2배의 처리율(processing rate)을 갖으며, 또한 radix-2³ 알고리즘의 비단순 승산기의 수를 줄이는 특성을 그대로 이용하므로, 같은 처리율을 갖는 radix-4 알고리즘에 비해 저면적 구현이 가능한 장점을 갖는다. 제안된 알고리즘의 하드웨어 구현 및 검증을 위해 VHDL 언어를 이용하여 MDC 파이프라인 구조를 갖는 64-point FFT 프로세서를 설계하였다. 0.6㎛ 공정을 이용하여 논리 합성한 결과, 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하여 구현한 경우, 기존의 radix가 알고리즘을 이용하여 구현하는 경우보다 약 30%정도 면적 면에서 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 고속 동작이 가능하며 동시에 면적 효율적인 특성으로 인해, 제안된 알고리즘은 무선 LAN 시스템, DAB 및 DVB 시스템, ADSL/VDSL 시스템 등 고속 멀티미디어 통신 시스템에 적합한 알고리즘이라 할 수 있다.

This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Pseudomonas spp. isolated from bovine mastitis milk samples. A total of 50 (4.9%) Pseudomonas spp. was isolated from 1,023 samples, those collected between 2018 and 2021, derived from 110 dairy farms. The prevalence of the identified species of Pseudomonas isolates was as follows; P. aeruginosa (70.0%), P. fluorescens (14.0%), P. putida (10.0%), P. fragi (4.0%), and P. chlororaphis (2.0%). Most of somatic cell counts in the quarter milk carrying Pseudomonas spp. were less than 3,000,000 cell/ml (90.0%). The isolates of Pseudomonas spp. showed high susceptibility to cefepime (98.0%), ciprofloxacin (98.0%), ceftazidime (96.0%), and colistin (96.0%). The rate of antibiotic resistance in the isolates was highest to ceftiofur (92.0%), followed by the resistance rate to chloramphenicol (86.0%) and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (80.0%). In addition, there is a remarkable difference in antimicrobial resistance pattern among Pseudomonas species. P. aeruginosa and P. putida showed a similar resistance pattern, whereas P. fluorescens showed exceptionally lower resistance to trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole and chloramphenicol than that of the other species. This study showed that prevalence of Pseudomonas spp. other than P. aeruginosa were 30.0% in bovine mastitis milk, and the occurrence rate of antibiotic resistance were similar or higher level, compared with the previous reports on the mastitisderived Pseudomonas spp. isolated in Korea.

A 1,000 ㎥/d DAF(dissolved air flotation) pilot plant was installed to evaluate the performance of the floating process using the Nakdong River. Efficiency of various DAF operations under different conditions, such as hydraulic loading rate, coagulant concentration was evaluated in the current research. The operation conditions were evaluated, based on the removal or turbidity, TOC(total organic carbon), THMFP(trihalomethane formation potential), Mn(manganese), and Al(aluminum). Also, particle size analysis of treated water by DAF was performed to examine the characteristics of particles existing in the treated water. The turbidity removal was higher than 90%, and it could be operated at 0.5 NTU or less, which is suitable for the drinking water quality standard. Turbidity, TOC, and THMFP resulted in stable water quality when replacing the coagulant from alum to PAC(poly aluminum chloride). A 100% removal of Chl-a was recorded during the summer period of the DAF operations. Mn removal was not as effective as where the removal did not satisfy the water quality standards for the majority of the operation period. Hydraulic loading of 10 m/h, and coagulant concentrations of 40 mg/L was determined to be the optimal operating conditions for turbidity and TOC removal. When the coagulant concentration increases, the Al concentration of the DAF treated water also increases, so coagulant injection control is required according to the raw water quality. Particle size distribution results indicated that particles larger than 25 ㎛ showed higher removal rates than smaller particles. The total particel count in the treated water was 2,214.7 counts/ml under the operation conditions of 10 m/h of hydraulic loading rate and coagulant concentrations of 60 mg/L.

피크 임계값을 사용하는 걸음 검출 알고리즘에서 충분한 정확도로 걸음을 검출하기 위해서는 3축 가속도 센서가 20Hz 이상의 주파수로 샘플링을 수행하여야 한다. 그러나 $I^2C$나 SPI를 통하여 데이터를 전송받는 상용의 통합 MPU와 연결되는 디지털 센서 장치들의 샘플링 주파수는 아날로그 방식의 샘플링 회로들에 비하여 매우 낮은 경향이 있다. 센서의 샘플링 주파수가 낮게 되면 충분한 데이터를 확보할 수 없기 때문에 측정 결과의 정확도가 떨어지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 피크 임계값 방식의 피크 검출 알고리즘에서 데이터가 20Hz 이하의 낮은 주파수로 샘플링될 경우에 샘플링 주파수와 피크 임계값 사이에 함수관계가 있음을 발견하였으며, 실험을 통하여 임계 함수를 도출하였다. 고정 임계값 대신에 샘플링 주파수에 따른 임계 함수를 적용하고, 테스트 프로토콜에 의하여 실험을 수행한 결과, 각 걸음 유형에 대하여 평균적으로 1.2% 미만의 걸음 검출 오차율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 걸음 검출 알고리즘이 걸음 모드에 따라서 적절히 결정된 임계 함수로부터 샘플링 주파수에 적합한 임계값을 사용하여 걸음을 검출한다면, 걸음 검출 및 걸음수 측정의 정확도는 매우 높아질 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 걸음수 측정 장치에만 적용되는 것이 아니라, 샘플링 주파수가 낮게 설계될 수밖에 없는 소형, 저가의 유비쿼터스 기기에도 적용해 정확도를 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있다.

소아 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 검사에서 방광의 포함 여부에 따른 신장 섭취율의 차이를 비교 하였다. 팬텀실험과 임상실험으로 진행되었으며 3개의 컵으로 좌, 우측신장 그리고 방광에 위치시키고 좌, 우측 신장의 방사능은 일정한 양( 1.0 )으로 고정하였고 방광에 해당되는 컵에는 0, 0.5, 1, 2배 방사능의 차이를 두어 영상을 획득하였다. 임상환자는 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ (300uCi, 11MBq)을 주사하여 2시간 뒤 동일하게 영상 획득하여 각각 정량 분석하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS(ver 22.0) 으로 대응표본 T검증(paired T-test)을 사용하여 분석하였고 p<0.05는 통계적으로 유의하다고 판단하였다. 방광의 방사능을 제외한 양측 신장 섭취율은 $29.83{\pm}8.8%$(좌측), $24.29{\pm}6.66%$(우측)이었고, 방광을 포함했을 때 신장 섭취율은 $26.65{\pm}8.03%$(좌측), $21.78{\pm}6.24%$(우측)이었다. 신장 섭취율은 방광의 소변(방사능)이 증가할수록 양측 신장의 섭취율은 감소하였다. 이는 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 신장스캔 시 좌, 우측 신장에서 방사능을 계수할 때 방광의 소변에 포함된 방사능의 계수가 포함되어 신장 섭취율 공식에서 총 계수가 포함되므로 실제 양측 신장 섭취율의 값이 감소되었다.

반도체 칩의 집적도가 급격히 향상됨에 따라 칩의 I/O 수가 증ㅇ가하여 패키지의 크기가 커질 뿐 아니라 칩 자체의 가격보다 패키지의 가격이 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 집적도의 증가에 의한 I/O 수으이 증가를 억제할 수있는 방법이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CTR(Constant-Transition-Rate) 코드 심벌 펄스의 상승 예지와 하강 예지의 위치에 따라 각각 2비트 씩의 디지털 데이터를 엔코딩함으로써 I/O 핀 수를 50% 감소 시킬 수 있는 I/O 인터페이스 회로를 제안한다. 제안한 CTR 코드의 한 심벌은 4비트 데이터를 포함하고 있어 기존의 인터페이스 회로와 비교하여 심벌 속도가 절반으로 감소되고, 엔코딩 신호의 단위 시간당 천이 수가 일정하며, 천이 위치가 넓게 분산되어 동시 스위칭 잡음(Simultaneous Switehing Noise, SSN)이 작아진다. 채널 엔코더는 논리 회로만으로 구현하고, 채널 디코더는 오버샘플링(oversampling) 기법을 이용하여 신호를 복원하는 입출력 회로를 설계하였다. 설계한 회로는 0.6${\mu}m$ CMOS SPICE 파라미터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션함으로써 동작을 검증하였으며, 동작 속도는 200 Mbps/pin 이상이 됨을 확인 하였다. 제안한 방식을 Altera사의 FPGA를 이용하여 구성하였으며, 구성한 회로는 핀 당 22.5 Mbps로 데이터를 전송함을 실험적으로 검증하였다.
