This paper proposes an efficient array beamforming method using spatial matched filtering for ultrasound imaging. In the proposed method, ultrasound waves are transmitted from an array subaperture with fixed transmit focus as in conventional array imaging. At receive, radio frequency (RF) echo signals from each receive channel are passed through a spatial matched filter that is constructed based on the system transmit-receive spatial impulse response. The filtered echo signals are then summed. The filter remaps and spatially registers the acoustic energy from each element so that the pulse-echo impulse response of the summed output is focused with acceptably low side lobes. Analytical beam pattern analysis and simulation results using a linear array show that the proposed spatial filtering method can provide more improved spatial resolution and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) compared with conventional dynamic receive focusing (DRF) method by implementing two-way dynamically focused beam pattern throughout the field.

Two patients, one with glioblastoma multiforme [GM] in the right thalamus and the other with meningioma at the right frontal convexity, had suffered bilateral cortical blindness after transtentorial herniation. On one of those patients, bilateral cortical blindness had occurred due to acute obstructive hydrocephalus caused by GM and on the other patient, cortical blindness had developed after acute hemorrhage from meningioma. Bilateral occipital lobes of those patients showed signal change on the brain magnetic resonance image [MRI]. There were no ophthalmologic abnormalities on fundoscopy and ophthalmologic examination. After recovery of consciousness, cortical blindness was detected in both patients, and during gradual recovery period, visual function was slowly recovered. The pattern of visual evoked potential [VEP] at 7 weeks and 12 weeks after herniation was normalized gradually. Cortical blindness due to herniation was reversible, even though the high signals of bilateral visual cortex still existed on MRI 16 month later in case 2.

A chaetiliid isopod, Symmius caudatus Richardson, 1904 is newly recorded from Korea with detailed description and illustrations. This species is characterized by the following features: head has well-defined ocular lobes anteriorly projecting; all pereonites do not have any projections dorsally; maxillule has 2 long plumose and 1 short denticulate setae on inner lobe; propodus of pereopod 1 has 11 stout circumplumose setae on ventral margin in female; and pereopod 7 is ambulatory. In this paper, we present the descriptions and illustrations of mature and juvenile males, which have not been known from previous studies, as well as those of female. We also suggested a revised diagnosis of the genus Symmius.

A quantitative treatment of ${\pi}$-nonbonded and $n-{\sigma}^{\ast}$ interactions and through-bond coupling effect was attempted using n-butane, n-butyl radical, and tetramethylene diradical. Results of STO-3G level calculations showed that: (1) conformational preferences can be predicted quantitatively based solely on the additive effect of ${\pi}$-nonbonded and $n-{\sigma}^{\ast}$ interactions, the predominant effect being the ${\pi}$-nonbonded interactions, (2) $(n-{\sigma}^{\ast})_{anti}$ is destabilizing whereas $(n-{\sigma}^{\ast})_{syn}$ is weakly stabilizing, which are contrary to what we expect from the normal $n-{\sigma}^{\ast}$ interaction, (3) througb-bond coupling of the two radical lobes is destabilizing for the triplet but stabilizing for the singlet tetramethylene diradical.

An experimental method, based upon wall visualizations, has been developed to observe air flow near a plane wall around a row of five $45^{\circ}$ inclined jets discharging into a cross stream. This study concerns the variation of injection rate R which is one of the most important parameters governing this flow type. The Results are concentrated on the spatial evolution of two lobes with R. These structures are fastened to jets downstream edge and exist for very low injection rate values which are an indication of jets takeoff at the immediate downstream of injection orifices. The velocity rate of 0.42 marks a change in the structure alimentation system.

Parameters of a microstrip patch antenna such as the resonant frequency, radiation conductance, and the bandwidth are calculated. The rectangular microstrip patch antenna fed by a microstrip transmission line is fabricated and its resonant frequency, radiation pattern, and input voltage standing wave ratio are measured. The measured resonant frequency for 13.0mm$\times$9.7mm copper clad woven PTFE/glass laminate plate is 9.06Ghz, where the calculative is 9.00Ghz. And the measured vswr shows that the bandwidth of the antenna is 225MHz for vswr less then 2.0 which the calculated quality factor of the patch gives the bandwidth OF 280ghZ. The measured radiation pattern for 5 element as well as 4 element patch array shows less then 4dB deviation in the first side lobes from the designed values for both E and H plane pattern. This diviation is believed to be the power division errors of the power divider.

A dog with anorexia, cough, and regurgitation was referred to clinic. Diagnostic imaging revealed a solitary mass involving the right cranial and middle lung lobes, compression of the cranial vena cava, and deviation of the heart and mediastinum toward the left side because the mass. The mass was diagnosed as a squamous cell carcinoma via fine needle aspiration. Ten days later, the tumor was larger and the clinical signs were more severe. A combination of piroxicam and itraconazole was administered to control the mass. Two weeks after initiating this treatment, the tumor size decreased and the clinical signs improved significantly.

As a result of continuous taxonomic studies on the Korean crabs, Carcinus aestuarii Nardo, 1847 belonging to the superfamily Portunoidea is newly reported from Korean waters. Carcinus aestuarii has characteristics as followings: cardiac, hepartic and brachial regions are divided by deep furrow; shape of three lobes in frontal area is flatter with hairy; inside of carpus is with one sharp tooth; the posterior-lateral margin of the carapace is concave, and so on. The examined specimen doesn't have hairy and bump on outer margin of the chelipeds which differed from the previous description of the specimens collected from Tokyo Bay, Japan. Here, the diagnosis and the picture of Korean specimen is provided. Korean portunoids currently consist of 20 species belonging to 10 genera.

The common rough woodlouse Porcellio scaber Latreille, 1804 is newly reported from South Korea with following diagnostic characteristics: the presence of distinct tubercles on body; the strongly developed lateral lobes of head; the presence of notch on tracheal field of pleopod 1 exopod; and distinctly short exopod of uropod. This species is reported to be cosmopolitan, but there were no taxonomic records of it in South Korea. All voucher specimens were collected from humid shaded areas adjacent to the eastern coast of South Korea. Organismal ecology and scanning electron microscope photographs are provided. In addition, the results of CO1 analysis of individuals representing the different color and morphological variations are provided.

Scolelepis (Scolelepis) lingulata is newly reported in Korean waters. This species, collected from the intertidal zone of the Yellow Sea, is in good agreement with the original and subsequent descriptions in presence of occipital antenna, conspicuously large and lingulate interramal lobes in posterior chaetigers, absence of hooded hooks in notopodia, and unidentate hooded hooks present in neuropodia. Additionally, Korean specimens previously identified as Scolelepis(Scolelepis) kudenovi are reexamined based on the morphology. As a result, these specimens were identified as Scolelepis (Scolelepis) daphoinos in terms of the presence of reddish-brown pigmentation along the transverse ciliated bands on the dorsum. The identification key to Scolelepis species from Korean waters is provided.
