Objective : The aneurysm remnants rate was evaluated via three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA) in the postoperative evaluation of clipped aneurysms. Methods : Data on surgically clipped aneurysms of anterior circulation obtained via postoperative 3D-DSA from February 2007 to March 2009 were gathered. The results of the postoperative 3D-DSA and of two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (2D-DSA) for the detection of aneurysm remnants were compared, and an investigation was performed as to why 2D-DSA had missed some aneurysm remnants that were detected in the 3D-DSA. Various surgical factors that revealed aneurysm remnants in the 3D-DSA were also evaluated. Results : A total of 39 neck remnants of 202 clipped aneurysms (19.3%) were confirmed in 3D-DSA, and these were classified according to Sindou's classification of aneurysm remnants. Patients with only a neck remnant found in the 3D-DSA represented 17.3% (35/202 aneurysms) of the whole series, and those with a residuum of neck plus sac found in the 3D-DSA represented 1.9% (4/202 aneurysms). The causes of aneurysm remnants were no full visualization (14/39, 35.9%), parent and perforator artery protection (10/39, 25.6%), clip design problems (8/39, 20.5%), and broadnecked aneurysm (7/39, 17.9%). Conclusion : Patients with ${\leq}2$mm aneurysm remnants showed an increased risk of undetectable aneurysm remnants in the 2D-DSA. The most frequent location of the missed aneurysm in 2D-DSA was the anterior communicating artery. 3D-DSA showed more aneurysm remnants than what is indicated in the existing literature, the 2D-DSA.

DSA (Dimensionally Stable Anode) electrodes are physically, thermally and electrochemically stable and are mainly Ti electrodes coated by Ru, Ir and Ta. DSA electrodes have been used in many industrial fields such as chlor-alkali, electrochemical water treatment, water electrolysis, etc. This review paper summarizes the study on the applications using DSA electrodes published in the recent 5 years. It suggests that the researches are intensively required on effective screening of electrodes materials, optimal designing of electrode structures and economical manufacturing of large area electrodes. It is expected that these studies will contribute to the further research and development on advanced DSA electrodes. In addition, the enhancement of DSA electrodes significantly leads to expand the type of the application using electrochemical processes in industry.

The average dose of Fast Low Dose C-arm CT used during hepatic arterial chemoembolization was compared with the average dose of DSA, and the exposure dose was analyzed by analyzing the average dose for each test technique in the total accumulated dose. 50 patients were randomly selected at our clinic and compared with Fast Low Dose C-arm CT, DAP and Air Kerma of DSA, and the accumulation of four test techniques (DSA, Fast Low Dose C-arm CT, Roadmap, Fluoroscopy) The proportion of dose (DAP, Air Kerma) was analyzed. For statistical comparative analysis, the corresponding sample T test and ANOVA test (post hoc test: Tukey) were performed using the statistical program SPSS 20.0. Fast Low Dose C-arm CT showed statistically significantly lower average dose (DAP, Air Kerma) than DSA. Reducing the number of tests for DSA can reduce the patient's exposure to medical radiation.

Chlor-alkali industry is one of the largest electrochemical processes which annually producing 70 million tons of sodium hydroxide and chlorine from sodium chloride solution. $DSA^{(R)}$ (Dimensionally Stable Anodes) electrodes such as $RuO_2$ and $IrO_2$, which is popular in chlor-alkali process, have been investigated to improve the chlorine generation efficiency. Although DSA electrode has been developed with various researches, understanding of the chlorine evolution mechanism is essential to the development of highly efficient DSA electrode. In this review paper, chlorine generation mechanisms are summarized and that of key factors are identified to systematically understand the chlorine generation mechanism. Rate determining step, effect of pH, reaction intermediate, and electrode crystal structure were intensively overviewed as key factors of the chlorine mechanism.

Increasing convergence among heterogeneous radio networks is expected to be a key feature of future ubiquitous services. The convergence of radio networks in combination with dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) could be a beneficial means to solve the growing demand for radio spectrum. DSA might enhance the spectrum utilization of involved radio networks to comply with user requirements for high-quality multimedia services. This paper proposes a simple spectrum allocation algorithm and presents an analytical model of dynamic spectrum resource allocation between two networks using a 4-D Markov chain. We argue that there may exist a break-even point for choosing whether or not to adopt DSA in a system. We point out certain circumstances where DSA is not a viable alternative. We also discuss the performance of DSA against the degree of resource sharing using the proposed analytical model and simulations. The presented analytical model is not restricted to DSA, and can be applied to a general resource sharing study.

본 논문에서는 XTR에 기반한 블라인드 서명인 블라인드 XTR-DSA 스킴을 이용하여 전자화폐 시스템에서 블랙메일링 공격을 막는 방법을 제안한다. 인출과정에서 은행이 블라인드 XTR-DSA 스킴을 이용하여 서명을 하면 효과적으로 블랙메일러에게 표시된 화폐를 발행할 수 있다. 기존의 방법에서는 블랙메일러에게 표시된 화폐를 발행하기 위해 사용자의 개인키를 은행에 전달해야했으나 본 논문에서 제안하는 블라인드 XTR-DSA 스킴을 이용할 경우 사용자의 개인키 전달이 필요 없게 되어 기존의 방법보다 더욱 효율적이다.

The fault cryptanalysis is a physical attack in which the key stored inside of the device can be extracted by occurring some faults when the device performs cryptographic algorithm. Since the international signature standard DSA(Digital Signature Algorithm) was known to be vulnerable to some fault analysis attacks, many researchers have been investigating the countermeasure to prevent these attacks. In this paper we propose a new countermeasure to compute DSA signature that has its immunity in the presence of faults. Since additional computational overhead of our proposal is only an inverse operation in signature process, the proposed DSA scheme can be implemented more efficiently compared to previous countermeasures.

The purpose of this study was to compare the image between DSA and MDCT Angiography and to examine whether MDCT Angiography could be useful as a screening test for the diagnosis of cerebral aneurysm in patients who were diagnosed with cerebral aneurysm on DSA. Of patients who were diagnosed with cerebral aneurysm DSA at University Hospital, 194 patients who concomitantly underwent MDCT Angiography were enrolled in the current retrospective study. The methods for analyzing cerebral aneurysm were to analyze the presence of cerebral aneurysm on DSA and MDCT Angiography. In cases in which it exceeded 1, the corresponding cases were classified as narrow-neck aneurysms. In otherwise cases, they were classified as wide-neck aneurysms. Thus, a comparative analysis could be performed to ascertain if cases were narrow-neck or wide-neck aneurysms. As compared with DSA, the sensitivity of MDCT Angiography for cerebral aneurysm was measured to be 97.4%. The degree of consistency between narrow-neck and wide-neck aneurysms was 90.2% and the proportion of undetectable an at MDCT Angiography was 2.54%. mean size was 2.4 mm. It is expected that a non-invasive diagnostic modality for a screening test for cerebral aneurysm, MDCT Angiography might be a very useful regimen as compared with an invasive one, DSA.

An assembled-graphite/DSA(Dimensionally Stable Anode) was prepared using graphite powder to increase durability and energy efficiency of redox flow battery and investigated its electrochemical properties in vanadium-based electrolyte. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) was carried out in the voltage range of -0.7V and 1.6V vs. SCE at 5 mV/sec scan rate to analyze vanadium redox reaction. From the CV results, the assembled-graphite/DSA electrode showed a fast couple reaction and good reversibility in 2M $VOSO_4$ + 2.5 M $H_2SO_4$ electrolyte. Therefore, it has been expected that this electrode increases power density as well as energy density of redox flow battery.

Properties of the anode for cathodic protection need low overvoltage for oxygen evolution and high corrosion resistance. It is well known that DSA (Dimensionally Stable Anode) has been the best anode ever since. DSA is mainly composed of $RuO_2$, $IrO_2$, $ZrO_2$, $Co_2O_3$, and also $Ta_2O_5$, $TiO_2$, $MnO_2$ are added to DSA for better corrosion resistance. The lifetime of DSA for cathodic protection is also one of the very important factors. $RuO_2$, $IrO_2$, $RhO_2$, $ZrO_2$ are well used for life extension, and many researches are focused on life extension by lowering oxygen evolution potential and minimizing dissolution of oxide coatings. This work aims to evaluate the influence of constituents of MMO and coating cycles and $ZrO_2$ coating on the electrochemical properties and lifetime of DSA electrodes. From the results of lifetime assessment in the anodes coated with single component, $RuO_2$ coating was more effective and showed longer lifetime than $IrO_2$ coating. Also, an increased coating cycle and an electrochemically coated $ZrO_2$ could enhance the lifetime of a DSA.
