Globally, infection prevention and social awareness have been greatly changed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and as a result, the infection control guidelines and procedures for patients with high exposure to hospital-acquired infection are further strengthened and management and monitoring are more thorough. In order to prevent infection, sterilization should be carried out with the highest priority, and we will find a sterilization method that is low in cost, easy to install, and easy to operate, to present appropriate sterilization effects. In this study, the UV sterilizer was used to contaminate the caries bacteria with an output of 4 W and irradiation time of 60, 150, and 300 sec, and the laser was irradiated with outputs of 0.8 and 1.5 W at wavelengths of 266 and 355 nm, respectively. Ultraviolet sterilizer showed safety in infection prevention at over 150 sec, and laser showed safety in prevention at 1.5 W, 0.8 W, and 266 nm. As a result, the higher the output and the wavelength closer to 253.7 nm, the better the sterilization effect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the shopping condition of Dongdaemoon Shoppingmall. A depth interview was administered to eight consumers aged 10s through 30s who had shopping experiences at Dongdaemoon Shoppingmall. The contents of interview were about the reasons of preference for Dongdaemoon Shoppingmall, the merchandise categories purchased, assortment, price, shopping environment, and service offered by Dongdaemoon Shoppingmall. The results of this study were as follows: The reasons of consumers' Dongdaemoon Shoppingmall preference were reasonable price, variety of merchandise assortment, easy catch of fashion trend, entertainment place, and opening hour at nighttime. The mainly purchased items were casual and fashionable clothes. Children's wear was mainly bought item by housewives too. The unique design, similar merchandises sold at department stores and new style in early adoption of fashion cycle were perceived as positive aspects, but copied merchandises and large quantity of same merchandise as negative aspects. The fixed price system was not trusted by consumers. Consumers' complaints about shopping condition were crowded pathways and shopping booths, the lacks of facilities such as fitting room, toilet, lounge area, sales persons' service, and difficulty of using credit cards. From these results, some implications for marketing strategies and practices might be suggested. In order to improve the design variety of merchandises, marketers and apparel manufacturers should make efforts by managing merchandise planning, production, selling, and promotion cooperatively. Fixed price system, acceptance of credit cards, and merchandise return/exchange service should be improved. The training the salespersons was the most important and basic step and easy way to get to successful business.

In this study, we designed and constructed a very low-cost electronic board in order to test its efficiency in the classroom as well as provide an easy-to-follow model for front-line teachers to re-create and utilize for their own academic use. For our sample size, we tested 143 high school first grade students. In mathematical achievement, we found meaningful improvement in both genders but we did not find any meaningful gender differences. In the mathematical disposition test, we also found some meaningful changes in curiosity and flexibility in both genders but did not find any meaningful gender differences either. Based on this study, we propose using our low-cost electronic board system, which is easy to make and effective in mathematical achievement, instead of recently promoted high-cost electronic board systems.

Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the usefulness of artificial neural networks (ANN), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), naïve Bayes classifier (NBC), general discriminant analysis (GDA), and logistic regression (LR) for dystocia detection in Polish Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White heifers and cows and to indicate the most influential predictors of calving difficulty. Methods: A total of 1,342 and 1,699 calving records including six categorical and four continuous predictors were used. Calving category (difficult vs easy or difficult, moderate and easy) was the dependent variable. Results: The maximum sensitivity, specificity and accuracy achieved for heifers on the independent test set were 0.855 (for ANN), 0.969 (for NBC), and 0.813 (for GDA), respectively, whereas the values for cows were 0.600 (for ANN), 1.000 and 0.965 (for NBC, GDA, and LR), respectively. With the three categories of calving difficulty, the maximum overall accuracy for heifers and cows was 0.589 (for MARS) and 0.649 (for ANN), respectively. The most influential predictors for heifers were an average calving difficulty score for the dam's sire, calving age and the mean yield of the farm, where the heifer was kept, whereas for cows, these additionally included: calf sex, the difficulty of the preceding calving, and the mean daily milk yield for the preceding lactation. Conclusion: The potential application of the investigated models in dairy cattle farming requires, however, their further improvement in order to reduce the rate of dystocia misdiagnosis and to increase detection reliability.

This paper aims at presenting high quality at low resolution apply by a new antialiasing method for voxelized implicit surfaces. Implicit surfaces create a unique type of 3D-modeling. Some use of implicit surfaces are scientific and medical visualization, animation, medical simulation and interactive modeling. One of previous antialiasing methods for implicit surfaces presented by raytracing or texture mapping is making use of a stochastic sampling. But this method requires more calculation time and costs which is caused by complicated and difficult implicit functions. In the meanwhile, voxelized implicit surfaces generally use high resolution for good quality images but it costs to generate. In order to this problem, this paper suggests a shifted double Z-buffer which is very simple, more efficient and easy. Tn addition, there are applied box-filter and tent-filter to the double Z-buffer antialiasing method for better images. For results this method generate high quality image and it is easy to apply to various filters and is able to extend to multi Z-buffer.

Recently, alternative and novel energy resources have been developed for use in the future because of the current environmental problems and exhaustion of fossil energy resources. Hydrogen energy has many merits, such as its environmental friendliness, easy storage, and easy production, but it also has disadvantages, in that it is highly combustible and explosive. In this study, a test procedure using a simple SP test under highly pressurized hydrogen gas conditions was established. In order to evaluate its applicability, SP tests were carried out using a stainless steel (SUS316L) sample under atmospheric, pressurized helium, and pressurized hydrogen gas conditions. The results under the pressurized hydrogen gas condition showed fissuring and produced a reduction of the elongation in the plastic instability region due to hydrogen embrittlement, showing the effectiveness of the current in-situ SP test.

Background and Objectives： Necrotizing lymphadenitis or Kikuchi's disease is characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology with unique histologic findings in young female patients. The importance of this disease lies in the fact that it can be easily misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma, hence, clinicians need to aware of this disease entity. The purpose of this study is to report the clinicopathologic findings, radiographic findings, and many laboratory tests in order to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing lymphadenitis. Materials and Methods： We evaluated 31 patients, who were diagnosed as necrotizing lymphadenitis by excisional biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology or ultrasound guided 18G cutting needle biopsy, retrospectively. Result : The median age was 24.8 years (range 12 to 43 years) and the male to female ratio was 1 : 2.4(9：22), with 14 females (45.1%) under 30 years. The common chief complaints were neck mass, easy fatigue and fever. Lymph node enlargement was limited to the cervical area in most cases (28cases : 90.3%). The involved lymph nodes were usually multiple (20cases : 64.5%), unilateral (26cases 83.9%) and small sized. Leukopenia (19cases : 61.3%) and elevation of ESR (18cases : 58.1%) appeared most frequently in the abnormal laboratory data. These symptoms will be gone spontaneoulsy without any specific treatment in several weeks or months. Conclusion : We should consider open biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology or ultrasound guided cutting needle biopsy with lymph node in patients who have cervical lymphadenopathy with easy fatigue and fever, especially young women to exclude other conditions such as malignant lymphoma and tuberculosis, etc.

The microwave permeability was measured in order to analyze the thickness dependence of loss properties in CoFeHfO thin films with varying thickness of t = 57~1368 nm. A single resonance peak (P1) at 2.95 GHz was appeared in the samples with thickness less than 405 nm, while second resonance peak (P2) at 547MHz was additionally appeared in the samples with thickness greater than 405 nm. The P2 was originated by the angle distribution of the easy axis, which was confirmed from the measured results of the change of imaginary permeability with applied magnetic field in the sample of 1368 nm thickness and low field torque curves. If the second peaks can be reduced by minimizing the angle distribution of the easy axis, the CoFeHfO thin films with thickness greater than 400 nm can be used for the compact microwave devices operated at up to 2 GHz ranges.

The objective of this study was to examine Jeonju residents' recognition towards their native local foods. The results indicate that their degree of interest in the native foods was above average. As age and education increased, the degree of interest was also increased. Also, married people showed greater interest as compared to single people (p<$0.05{\sim}0.001$). There were more people who said they preferred native foods than people who said they didn't, where 213 people (41.3%) answered that they preferred the native foods. Of the people who said they like native foods, their main reason was because the native foods taste good. The main reason for the people who said they disliked native foods was that they didn't have many opportunities to try native foods. TV and radio were the first means, among others, from which people learned about native foods. The place where people ate native foods most often was native food restaurants (242 people, 46.95%). A frequency of a native food intake (including home and dining-out) of $1{\sim}2$ times/year was most prominent, with 137 people (26.6%). Also, a cooking frequency of "hardly ever cooks" was most prominent with 163 people (31.6%). The most prominent reason for the low cooking frequency at home was because they didn't know the recipes. Among 5 basic recipe characteristics for native foods (easy preparation of ingredients, simple recipe procedures, quick preparation, reasonable recipe procedures, sanitation), "sanitation" had the highest average score of 3.54, and "simple recipe procedure" had the lowest score of 2.44. To summarize, in order to develop Jeonju native local foods, it is necessary to implement various strategies such as frequently holding events where people can experience their native foods, running a native food training center, advertising through TV and radio, developing easy home recipes, and simplifying recipes.
