This study is carried out experiments on various factors for improving the grade of low grade scheelite by Knelson concentrator prior to the main beneficiation process. Even though there are several gravity separators such as Jig, Spirals and etc. for rougher concentrate, the KC3 Knelson Concentrator was adopted to get better separation efficiency and beneficiating effects for pre-concentration of the low grade scheelite ore. The feed samples was prepared to minus 1mm in size by crushing and grinding. The important factors in the KC3 Knelson Concentrator test were examined in terms of the variations such as number of treatment, feed rate, rotation speed of bowl(G force), water flow rate, pre-removal of magnetic minerals, feed size and feed grade. According to the result of experiment, it shows that the important technical variations are limited in terms of number of treatment, feed rate, feed size and feed grade. The final result shows that the KC3 Knelson Concentrator obtains the scheelite pre-concentrate of about $3%WO_3$ grade and 90% recovery, respectively, from the feed containing about $0.8-1.0%WO_3$ grade.

Objective : We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in patients who previously underwent radiotherapy, and analyzed the treatment outcomes over 14 years. Methods : Ten patients with recurrent NPC who had previously received radiotherapy underwent stereotactic radiosurgery using a Gamma Knife^® (Elekta Inc, Atlanta, GA, USA) between 2005 and 2018. The median target volume was 8.2 ㎤ (range, 1.7-17.8), and the median radiation dose to the target was 18 Gy (range, 12-30). The median follow-up period was 18 months (range, 6-76 months). Overall and local failure-free survival rates were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results : The NPCs recurred at the primary cancer site in seven patients (70%), as distant brain metastasis in two (20%), and as an extension into brain in one (10%). The recurrent tumors in seven of the 10 patients (70%) were found on the routine follow-up imaging studies. Two patients presented with headache and one with facial pain. Local failure after GKS occurred in five patients (50%) : two of whom died eight and 6 months after GKS, respectively. No adverse radiation effects were noted after GKS. The 1- and 3-year overall survival rates after GKS were 90% and 77%, respectively. The local failure-free survival rates at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years after GKS were 80%, 48%, and 32%, respectively. The median interval from GKS to local failure was 8 months (range, 6-12). Univariate analysis revealed that using co-registration with positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was associated with a lower local failure rate of recurrent NPC (p=0.027). Conclusion : GKS is an acceptable salvage treatment option for patients with recurrent NPC who previously received radiation therapy. PET-CT and MRI co-registration for dose planning can help achieve local control of recurrent NPC.

자성유체는 자연에서 추출한 것이 아니라 자화성(Magnetizability)과 유도성(Flowability)을 동시에 갖도록 합성한 특수액체이다. 자성유체는 1960년대 중반에 미국의 NASA에서 처음 개발된 이후로 윤활, 밀봉, 감쇄, 의료 등의 분야에서 응용연구가 많이 진행되었기 때문에 고도의 정밀도를 요하는 항공, 우주산업, 컴퓨터와 반도체 분야 등에서 실용화가 크게 진전되고 있다. 특수물질일 자성유체는 전기적으로 도체인 10nm 정도의 미세한 자기입자(Magnetic particles)에 코팅을 한 후, 이것을 물, 탄화수소, 플루오르카본, 에스터 등의 매개유체(Carrier Fluids)에 혼합시켜서 콜로이드 상태로 사용하게 된다. 자성유체는 미세한 자기입자들이 매개유체내에서 서로 충돌하면서 반발력을 발생시켜서 상호간에 늘 콜로이드 상태를 유지하고 있으며, 이 특수유체가 자기장의 영향을 받게 되면 점도가 증가하면서 특이한 성질을 갖게 된다. 상대 접촉 운동면에 경계마찰이나 혼합마찰을 하게 되면 윤활상태는 비교적 나쁘다. 이러한 마찰지역에 콜로이드상의 자성유체 윤활제를 공급하면 기존의 윤활제에 비하여 대단히 효과적으로 윤활을 할 수 있게 된다. 그러나 자성유체 윤활제가 마찰부위에 원활하게 공급하기 위해서는 미끄럼 마찰부에서 자기장을 잘 형성시킬 수 있는 도체이어야 하기 때문에 특별한 윤활 시스템 설계가 제시되어야 한다. 자성유체 윤활제는 합성으로 제조된 특수물질로 여러가지 장점을 갖고는 있으나 기존 윤활유와의 적합성, 마찰열, 밀봉압력 등의 조건에서 제한적으로 사용될 수 밖에 없으므로 항공, 우주 산업이나 석유 화학분야와 같이 특수 환경에서만 사용되고, 또한 기존의 광유계 윤활제에 비하여 대단히 고가하는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 그러나 윤활 마찰면의 다양화와 가혹한 사용조건은 자성유체 윤활제의 연구개발 필요성을 크게 증대시키고 있다.xed Effects Model)을 결정하고, 각각에 해당하는 통계모형을 구축하였다. 이 결과 (1) 업종 및 기업규모별로 그룹간에 유의한 특성이 발견되었으며, (2) R&D 및 광고투자는 기업의 시장성과를 설명하는 중요한 변수이나, (3) R&D 투자의 경우는 광고에 비해 불확실성이 존재하는 것으로 나타났고, (4) 수리모형에서 도출된 한계원리가 통계모형에서도 유효한 것으로 드러났다.등을 토대로 한 10대 산업을 육성하기 위하여 과학기술부는 기술수요조사를 바탕으로 49개 주요기술을 도출하여, 과학기술 일류 국가 실현, 국민소득 2만불 달성이라는 국가적 슬로건을 내걸고 “차세대 성장동력” 창출을 위한 범정부차원의 기획과 연구비의 집중투자를 추진하고 있다.달성하기 위해서는 종합류류 전산망의 시급한 구축과 함께 화물차의 적재율을 높이고 공차율을 낮출 수 있는 운송체계의 수립이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 그라나 이러한 화물전용차선의 효과는 단기적인 치유책일 수밖에 없기 때문에 물류유통 시설의 확충을 위한 사회간접자본의 구축을 서둘러 시행하여야 할 것이다.으로 처리한 Machine oil, Phenthoate EC 및 Trichlorfon WP는 비교적 약효가 낮았다.>$^{\circ}$E/$\leq$30$^{\circ}$NW 단열군이 연구지역 내에서 지하수 유동성이 가장 높은 단열군으로 추정된다. 이러한 사실은 3개 시추공을 대상으로 실시한 시추공 내 물리검층과 정압주입시험에서도 확인된다..

This study investigated the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) over a two-decade period on public roads, focusing on the electromagnetic characteristics of the pavement dielectrics and attenuation. From the results, a typical range of characteristic value, influencing factors, and a correction method were suggested. The typical dielectrics of asphalt pavements were 4-7, as measured by an air-coupled 1 GHz GPR antenna. The dielectrics of concrete pavements were very large in the early age, but were drastically reduced with ageing. Ten years on, collection was in the range of 6-12. The dielectrics were proportional to the relative humidity (R.H.) of the atmosphere. The effects were reduced to one eighth with an overlay. Attenuation generally increased with thickness of the road layer, and also increased where there was damage. The GPR results could also vary depending on the weather conditions as well as on the characteristics of the GPR equipment, even at the same frequency. Therefore, GPR surveys should be performed on road surfaces without debris on a single, fine day. The reliability of the GPR analysis could be improved by cores and equipment calibration with other non-destructive test surveys.

Lee & Kang (2002) showed that simultaneous phonological rehearsal significantly delayed the performance of multiplication but not subtraction, whereas holding an image in the memory delayed subtraction but not multiplication. This result indicated that arithmetic function is related to working memory in a subsystem-specific manner. The aim of the current study was to examine the neural correlates of previous finding using fMRI. For this goal, dual task conditions that required suppression or no suppression were manipulated. In general, several areas were more activated in the interference conditions than in the less interference conditions, although both conditions were dual condition. More important finding is that the specific areas activated in the phonological suppression rendition were right inferior frontal gyrus, left angular, and inferior parietal lobule, while the areas activated in the other condition were mainly in the right superior temporal gyrus and anterior cingulate gyrus. Furthermore, the areas activated in the phonological or visual less suppression condition were right medial frontal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, and bilateral medial frontal gyri, anterior cingulate cortices, and parahippocampal gyri, respectively. These results revealed that sharing the processing code invokes interference, and its neural basis.

This study repeated low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to evaluate the effects on cognitive function in chronic stroke patients. Among the chronic stroke patients, 30 patients selected by MMSE-K and BCRS-K were divided randomly into 3 groups. Group I (n=10) had only sound applied, group II (n=10) were applied 1 Hz rTMS on the damaged side and group III (n=10) were applied to 1 Hz rTMS on the opposite side for total 2 weeks, 20 minutes per a day, five times per a week. To examine the change in cognitive function, CREAD-K scores were measured before, 1 week, 2 weeks, and then 3 months after the intervention. The CREAD-K scores were measured before and 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 months after the interventions. The immediate recall memory showed a significant difference after 2 weeks and 3 months in groups II and III (p<.05), The recognition memory showed a significant difference after 2 weeks and 3 months in group III (p<.05). The delayed recall memory showed significant differences after 3 months in group III than in group I (p<.05). Therefore, the application of low-frequency rTMS has a positive influence on the cognitive rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients.

To develop a new natural whitening agent, we investigated the tyrosinase inhibitory effects of Persicaria tinctoria Flower extracts (PTFE). PTFE showed inhibitory activity on mushroom tyrosinase with the $IC_{50}$ values of $70.8{\pm}2.2{\mu}g/mL$. We purified two active compounds from PTFE by LH-20 column chromatography and prep-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified as quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (Q3R) and myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside (M3R) by $^1H$nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. Q3R and M3R showed tyrosinase inhibitory activities with the $IC_{50}$ values of $47.0{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/mL$ and $150.5{\pm}1.6{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. These results suggest that PTFE and its active compounds reduced melanin formation by the inhibition of tyrosinase activity. Thus, P. tinctoria flower extracts may be a candidate for cosmetic use.

Pt-complexes is currently one of the most compounds used in the treatment of solid tumors. However, its used is limited by severe side effects such as renal toxicity. Our platinum-based drug discovery program is aimed at developing drugs capable of diminishing toxicity and improving antitumor activity. We synthesized new Pt (II) complex analogues containing 1, 2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) as carrier ligand and 1, 3-bis (diphenylphosphino) propane (DPPP)/1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (DPPE) as a leaving group. Furthermore, nitrate was added to improve the solubility. A new series of (KHPC-001) [Pt (trans-1-dach)(DPPP)] $2NO_3$ and (KHPC-002) [Pt (trans-1-dach)(DPPE)] $2NO_3$ were synthesized and characterized by their elemental analysis and by various spectroscopic techniques [infrared (IR), $^{13}carbon$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)]. KHPC-001 and KHPC-002 demonstrated acceptable antitumor activity aganist P-388, L-1210 lymphocytic leukemia cells and significant activity as compared with that of cisplatin. The toxicity of KHPC-001 and KHPC-002 was found quite less than that of cisplatin using MTT, $[^3H]$ thymidine uptake and glucose consumption tests in rabbit proximal tubule cells and human kidney cortical cells.

This work intends to investigate the effects of pedaling directions on the muscle actions during the bicycle's uphill propulsion. A test rig was developed that consists of a bicyle with a special planetary geartrain, a height-adjustable treadmill, a rear-wheel support and a magnetic brake. A three-dimensional motion analysis was performed for measuring kinematic characteristics of the forward backward pedaling and the electromygraphy(EMG) measurements were simultaneously performed for estimating the muscle actions of the leg. In this work, four muscles are considered including Gastrocnemius muscle(GM), Vastus lateralis(VL), Tibialis anterior(TA) and Soleus(SOL) while the uphill slope is varied from $0^{\circ}$ to $6^{\circ}$. Raw EMG signals were first processed through the root-mean-square(RMS) averaging and then ensemble curves were derived by averaging the EMG RMS envelopes over 50 consecutive cycles. Results show that both the kinemactic characteristics and the muscle actions are significantly affected by the pedaling direction. The crank speed of the forward pedaling is higher but the difference in speed is reduced as the slope is increased. The ensemble curves of the :ac signals clearly exhibit some differences in their patterns, peak values and the corresponding locations with respect to the crank angle. The peak values of most EMG signals are higher for the forward pedaling regardless of the slope magnitude. However, the averages of the EMG signals are not observed to have a similar relationship with the pedaling direction, which seems to be affected by several factors such as less experience of the participants' backward pedaling. inappropriate bicycle design for the backward pedaling. These limitations will be further considered in future work.
