The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate, by means of a questionaire, the parental awareness of the emergency management of avulsed teeth in children. 297 parents were surveyed during a six week period at Yooseuk elementary school in Seoul. The results indicated that the person who experianced a avulsion of teeth was 16.6%. 35% of parents would attempt replantation of an avulsed tooth but further questioning showed they did not know the correct procedures. 36% of parents were unaware of adequate time for emergency dental services. 62% of parents felt they should seek professional help urgently following an avulsion injury, but their knowledge of transport media for the tooth was poor. Only 8% of parents knew that milk was the medium of choice for both washing and transporting an avulsed tooth. 76% of parents surveyed had never received advice in what to do in the event of an accident where a tooth was avulsed. This study revealed the need for educational campaigns aimed at parents to increase their knowledge of the emergency procedures required when a tooth is avulsed.

본 논문에서는 UHDTV(Ultra HDTV)를 위한 MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream)의 다중화 기법 및 다중화 SW 툴의 설계 및 구현에 대해서 기술한다. 대용량의 UHD 비디오를 처리하기 위해서는 당분간 병렬처리에 기반한 코덱 구현이 불가피하며 이로 인해 다수의 비디오 비트스트림 간의 동기화 및 다중화가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 4K(또는 8K) 해상도의 UHD 비디오가 4개의 화면으로 분할되어 각각 H.264/AVC로 부호화되고, 2 개의 5.1 채널의 오디오가 AC-3로 부호화되는 병렬처리 기반의 UHDTV의 TS 다중화를 고려한다. H.264/AVC를 전송하기 위한 MPEG-2 시스템(Systems) 확장 규격과 AC-3를 다중화하기 위한 ATSC 규격에 따라 PES 패킷화 및 TS 다중화 툴을 설계한다. 본 논문의 다중화 툴은 타이밍 모델을 만족하도록 T-STD(TS Systems Target Decoder)에 정의된 버퍼들의 상태를 모니터링 하면서 다중화 스케쥴링을 수행하고 한 TS 패킷의 전송 시간 단위로 H/W의 실시간 처리를 에뮬레이션(emulation) 한다. 또한 전체 다중화 구조에 있어서 재다중화(Re-multiplexing)의 포함 여부에 따른 장단점에 대해서 고찰한다. 상용 검증 툴 및 재생 툴을 통하여 구현한 TS 다중화 툴의 규격의 적합성 및 그 기능을 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 패킷 오류가 발생하는 IP 망을 통해 비디오 전송 서비스를 제공하기 위한 조건적 ARQ 기반의 오류 제어기법을 제안한다. IP 망에서 패킷 손실이 발생하면 수신 단말은 서버에게 손실된 패킷의 재전송을 요청할 수 있다. 그러나 망 상황과 접속 단말 개수를 고려하지 않고 무조건적인 재전송을 요청 할 경우 손실된 패킷이 복호화에 필요한 시점까지 도착 할 것인지가 보장되지 않을 뿐더러, 오히려 불필요한 재전송 요청에 의해 망에서의 트래픽 량을 가중시킬 수 있다. 따라서 망 상황을 고려하여 손실된 패킷이 재전송에 의해 적절한 시간 내에 도착이 가능한지를 판단하여 조건적으로 ARQ를 요청하는 기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 RFC 문서에서 권고하는 재전송 관련 메카니즘들을 효과적으로 활용하여 표준기술 기반의 조건적 ARQ 오류제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 단말에서 추정된 망 상황을 기반으로 조건적으로 재전송 요청 여부를 결정하고, 더 나아가서 유효한 재전송 요청 시점을 결정하여 보다 효율적인 ARQ 가 적용될 수 있도록 한다. 제안된 조건적 ARQ 기반의 오류 제어 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 패킷 손실 네트워크 환경을 NIST-Net을 활용하여 구축하며 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 기법의 우수한 오류 강인 성능을 확인한다.

Objectives This paper tried to review a recent research trend for the environmental exposure of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and its removal efficiency in the nanowaste treatment plants. Methods The studies on the predicted environmental concentrations (PEC) of ENMs obtained by exposure modeling and treatment (or removal) efficiency in nanowaste treatment facilities, such as wastewater treatment plant (WTP) and waste incineration plant (WIP) were investigated. The studies on the landfill of nanowastes also were investigated. Results The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology group has led the way in developing methods for estimating ENM production and emissions. The PEC values are available for surface water, wastewater treatment plant effluents, biosolids, sediments, soils, and air. Based on the PEC modeling, the major routes for the environmental exposure of the ENMs were found as WTP effluents/sludge. The ENMs entered in the WTP were 90-99% removed and accumulated in the activated sludge and sludge cake. Additionally, the waste ash released from the WIP contain ENMs. Ultimately, landfills are the likely final destination of the disposed sludge or discarded ENMs products. Conclusions Although the removal efficiency of the ENMs using nanowaste treatment facilities is acceptable, the ENMs were accumulated on the sludge and then finally moved to the landfill. Therefore, the monitoring for the ENMs in the environment where the WTP effluent is discharged or biomass disposed is required to increase our knowledge on the fate and transport of the ENMs and to prevent the unintentional exposure (release) in the environment.

It is very important to find errors in broadcasted streams because it can help us to find where errors occur. Broadcasted streams may have errors in the RF(radio frequency) or baseband domain. It is very important to fix these errors because it can help to stabilize set-top boxes, provide stable receiving, and give comfortable environments to watch TV. Since 2001, major terrestrial broadcasters in Korea started the DTV broadcasting in Kwan-Ak over Seoul area. In this paper, we provide some analysis on errors in MPEG-based TS streams, PSIP packets, and RF area which may occur in DTV systems and compare this result with that of USA.

Electronic cash affects central bank in many areas, in particular regarding the issuance of money, supervision of cashless payments, supervision of the banking system and monetary policy. The effects of electronic cash on central bank policies, the security and integrity of the payment system, and naturally also on single sector such as company engaged in the transport of money and valuables, depend mainly on the extent to which the new payment methods can replace cash. The possible development of electronic cash merits special attention from central banks for at least three reasons. First, central banks are concerned that the introduction of the new payment instrument should have no adverse effect on public confidence in the payment system and payment media. Second, although the substitution of electronic cash for other forms of money should not theoretically hamper central bank's ability to control the money supply, it might, however, have practial implications, at least in the long run, which need to be carefully examined. Third, because electronic cash may be used for payments of very small value, they have the potential, more than any other cashless instrument, to take over the role of notes and coins in the economy and, therefore, have implications for central bank's activities and revenues.

The peptide transporter can be utilized for improving the bioavailability of compounds that are poorly absorbed. Characterization of the dipeptide uptake into the human intestinal epithelial cells, HT-29 was investigated. The uptake of tritiated glycylsarcosine $([^3H]-Gly-Sar,\;0.1\;{\mu}Ci/ml)$ was measured in confluent or subconfluent HT-29, Caco-2, and Cos-7 cells. Uptake medium was the Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Media (DMEM) adjusted to pH 6.0. Both HT-29 and Caco-2 cells expressed the dipeptide transporter significantly (p<0.005) but Cos-7 did not. Certain portions of passive uptake were observed in all three cell lines. Uptake of Gly-Sar was largest at 7 days after plating HT-29 cells with significant inhibition with 25 mM cold Gly-Sar (p<0.05). but expression ratio of the dipeptide transporter was 0.7, suggesting lower expression. The effect of pH on Gly-Sar uptake was not significant in the range of pH 6 to 8. Gly-Sar uptake was also inhibited with 50 mM carnosine, 25 mM Gly-Sar, and 35 mM cephalexin significantly (p<0.05). From above results the dipeptide transporter was expressed well in HT-29 cells and was similar to that in the small intestine, suggesting that large amounts of mRNA of the transporter from the cells can be obtained.

The influences of scatterer and absorber in turbid material by light scattering on silica fume of additive were interpreted for the scattered intensity and wavelength. The molecular properties have been studied by Monte Carlo simulation in resin of New Austria Tunnel Method. It has been found that the effects of optical properties in scattering media could be investigated by the optical parameters(${\mu}_s$, ${\mu}_a$,${\mu}_t$). Monte Carlo Simulation method for modelling of light transport in the civil engineering and construction field was applied. The results using a phantom were discussed that the distance from source to detector is closer, and scattering intensity is stronger with those obtained through Monte Carlo Simulation. It may also aid in designing the best model for coatings and corrosion for the durability of metal constructions.
