Purpose: This study was designed to investigate correlations between physical fitness, antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPX), lipid peroxidation levels (MDA), lipid profiles, lactate levels and cardiovascular variables in an exercising group and a control group. Methods: Twelve healthy young males (Exercise group: 6, Controls: 6). All subjects took physical fitness tests and blood samples were collected while subjects were resting. Results: In the exercise group, there were several significant correlations: between back strength and SOD enzyme levels (r=0.82, p=0.04), back strength and MDA (r=0.94, p=0.00), agility and GPX (r=0.81, p=0.04), and balance and GPX (r=0.81, p=0.04). In the control group, there were significant correlations between: dominant grip strength and MDA (r=-0.84, p=0.03), and agility and GPX (r= -0.82, p=0.04). In the exercise group, there were no significant correlations between physical fitness factors, TC, TG, HDL-C and lactate levels. In the control group, there were significant correlations between: back strength and TG (r=0.88, p=0.01), and agility and HDL-C (r= -0.84, p=0.03). In the exercise group, there were significant correlations between: non-dominant grip strength and SBP (r=0.94, p=0.00), dominant grip strength and SBP (r=0.85, p=0.03), and power and SBP (r=0.82, p=0.04). In controls, there were significant correlations between: dominant grip strength and DBP (r=-0.85, p=0.03), muscular endurance and ST level (r=-0.93, p=0.00), and muscular endurance and HR (r=-0.88, p=0.01). Conclusion: That cardiovascular patients and controls who participated in regular exercise maintained their antioxidant capacity suggests that long-term physical activity can counteract the negative dysfunction that characterizes sedentary lifestyle, probably by maintaining plasma antioxidant defenses and thereby preventing oxidative stress.

The seed-borne mycoflora of sorghum and foxtail millet collected from different growing areas in South Korea were isolated and taxonomically identified using dry inspection, standard blotter and the agar plate method. We investigated the in vitro and in vitro germination rates of disinfected and non-disinfected seeds of sorghum and foxtail millet using sterilized and unsterilized soil. The percent recovery of seed-borne mycoflora from the seed components of sorghum and foxtail millet seeds was determined and an infection experiment using the dominant species was evaluated for seedling emergence and mortality. A higher number of seed-borne fungi was observed in sorghum compared to that of foxtail millet. Eighteen fungal genera with 34 fungal species were identified from the seeds of sorghum and 13 genera with 22 species were identified from the seeds of foxtail millet. Five dominant species such as Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme and Phoma sp. were recorded as seed-borne mycoflora in sorghum and 4 dominant species (Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme) were observed in foxtail millet. The in vitro and in vitro germination rates were higher using disinfected seeds and sterilized soil. More seed-borne fungi were recovered from the pericarp compared to the endosperm and seed embryo. The percent recovery of seed-borne fungi ranged from 2.22% to 60.0%, and Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata and 4 species of Fusarium were isolated from the endosperm and embryo of sorghum and foxtail millet. Inoculation of the dominant seed-borne fungi showed considerable mortality of seedlings. All the transmitted seed-borne fungi might well be a primary source of infection of sorghum and foxtail millet crops.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to the modeling of the small-signal characteristics of three-phase bridge boost rectifiers under non-sinusoidal conditions. The main obstacle to the conventional synchronous d-q frame modeling approach is that it is unable to identify a steady-state under non-sinusoidal conditions. However, for most applications under non-sinusoidal conditions, the current loops of boost rectifiers are designed to have a bandwidth that is much higher than typical harmonics frequencies in order to achieve good current control for these harmonic components. Therefore a quasi-static method is applied to the proposed modeling approach. The converter small-signal characteristics developed from conventional synchronous frame modeling under different operating points are investigated and a worst case point is then located for the current loop design. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are presented. It is observed that operating points influence the converter low frequency characteristics but hardly affect the dominant poles. The relationship between power stage parameters, system poles and zeroes is also presented which offers good support for the system design. Both the simulation and experimental results verified the analysis and proposed modeling approach. Finally, the practical case of a parallel active power filter is studied to present the modeling approach and the resultant regulator design procedure. The system performance further verifies the whole analysis.

This paper introduces the high density discrete wavelet transform using quincunx sampling, which is a discrete wavelet transformation that combines the high density discrete transformation and non-separable processing method, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages. The high density discrete wavelet transformation is one that expands an N point signal to M transform coefficients with M > N. The high density discrete wavelet transformation is a new set of dyadic wavelet transformation with two generators. The construction provides a higher sampling in both time and frequency. This new transform is approximately shift-invariant and has intermediate scales. In two dimensions, this transform outperforms the standard discrete wavelet transformation in terms of shift-invariant. Although the transformation utilizes more wavelets, sampling rates are high costs and some lack a dominant spatial orientation, which prevents them from being able to isolate those directions. A solution to this problem is a non separable method. The quincunx lattice is a non-separable sampling method in image processing. It treats the different directions more homogeneously than the separable two dimensional schemes. Proposed wavelet transformation can generate sub-images of multiple degrees rotated versions. Therefore, This method services good performance in image processing fields.

시장지배적 사업자의 결합판매는 경쟁법 적용에 있어 어려운 문제 중 하나이다. 결합판매는 통상 할인을 수반하는데, 소비자 입장에서는 더 낮은 가격에 더 많은 상품을 구매할 수 있는 혜택을 보게 된다. 공급자도 별개로 판매할 경우에 소요되는 판매비용보다 더 낮은 비용으로 판매할 수 있게 된다. 이와 같이 소비자 입장에서는 가격인하의 혜택을, 공급자 입장에서는 판매비용 인하의 혜택을 보는 효율적인 측면이 있다. 대상판결은 결합판매 자체는 경쟁촉진적일 수도 있고, 경쟁제한적일 수도 있으며, 시장지배적 사업자가 아니더라도 거래관행상 광범위하게 이루어지고 있으므로 중립적이고 객관적으로 경쟁제한성 평가를 할 필요가 있음을 전제로 하고 있다. 대상판결은 동등 효율 경쟁자를 배제할 위험이 있는지를 심사해야 한다는 입장을 취함으로써 제1심이 선례로 고려한 LePage 판결을 따르지 않고 비용 기반 분석(cost based approach)이 필요하다고 봄으로써, 결합판매에서 비용기반 분석의 대표적인 판결로 평가받고 있다. 이 판결의 가장 돋보이는 점은 결합판매에서 경쟁제한성 평가의 방법론에 있어, 할인귀속 기준을 채택하여 결합판매에 따른 할인분을 전체 상품이 아니라 경합하는 상품에 적용한 후, 비용보다 가격이 낮은지를 심리해야 한다는 점을 지적한 점이다. 동등효율 경쟁자의 배제 문제는 결국 행위자 자신이 스스로 위반여부를 판단할 수 있어야 하므로, 이때 문제되는 비용은 경쟁자의 비용이 아니라 행위자의 비용임을 명시하였다. 결합판매를 통한 할인은 소비자가 별개로 구입할 수 있는 선택권을 침해받지 않으면서도 저가에 상품을 구입할 수 있는 긍정적인 효과가 있다. 따라서 결합판매를 경쟁법 차원에서 규제할 수 있는 근거로는, 가격할인에도 불구하고 동등효율 경쟁자를 배제한다는 점이 합리적인 사유가 될 것이다. 그 점에서 대상판결이 제시한 동등효율 경쟁자의 배제 위험 문제를 가격비용 테스트와 할인귀속기준을 통하여 적용한 점은 설득력이 있다. 반면, 결합판매의 기본적인 구조는 끼워팔기의 강제성 요건과 유사한 측면이 있다는 지적도 경청할 필요가 있다. 한국은 공적 건강보험 체계가 당연지정 요양기관 제도와 결합하면서 의료서비스에 대한 가격 경쟁은 요양급여에서는 불허되며 비급여 부분을 중심으로 존재한다. 이러한 비급여 부분을 중심으로 의료가 발달한 분야에서도 가격에 관한 의료공급자들의 시장지배적 지위의 남용이 가능하다. 진료비에 대한 가격결정과 공적 건강보험 제도와 민간의료보험의 관계를 검토해보면, 의료공급자 중 시장지배적 사업자의 결합판매를 통한 경쟁사업자의 배제는 비급여 부분에 대하여 국민건강보험공단이 아닌 민간보험회사와 관계에서 결합판매를 통한 할인계약을 통하여 가능할 것이다.

Purpose: Restoration of ankle stability through the strengthening exercise of peroneus muscles is considered an important factor for achievement of successful outcomes, in the rehabilitation program following ankle ligament injuries. However, there were few definitive data on normal muscle strength, including eversion power by peroneus muscles. This study was conducted to evaluate the muscle strength of ankle joint measured using an isokinetic dynamometer in normal Koreans. Materials and Methods: Sixty adults (120 ankles) were recruited and divided into three groups (20 in their twenties, 20 in thirties, and 20 in forties). Each group consisted of 10 males and 10 females. The selection criteria were no history of ankle injury and no evidence of instability. The peak torque, total work, and deficit ratio were measured using the Biodex$^{TM}$ (Biodex Medical Systems). Differences in muscle strength by age, gender and dominant versus non-dominant side were analyzed. Results: The peak torque of dorsiflexion was average 31.5 Nm at $30^{\circ}/s$ of angular velocity and 18.8 Nm at $90^{\circ}/s$; average 69.3 Nm ($30^{\circ}/s$) and 42.4 Nm ($90^{\circ}/s$) on plantarflexion; average 19.6 Nm ($30^{\circ}/s$) and 10.8 Nm ($90^{\circ}/s$) on inversion; average 12.9 Nm ($30^{\circ}/s$) and 8.0 Nm ($90^{\circ}/s$) on eversion. The deficit ratio of strength in women was average 61.1% of men on dorsiflexion; average 66.2% on plantarflexion; average 48.5% on inversion; average 55.4% on eversion. The deficit ratio in non-dominant foot was average 88.6% of dominant foot on dorsiflexion; average 90.1% on plantarflexion; average 85.1% on inversion; average 85.6% on eversion. Conclusion: The muscle strength of the ankle joint showed a tendency to weaken with age. There were significant differences in muscle strength by gender and dominancy. Further studies for comparison of patients with ankle instability, a comparison between before and after surgery for instability, the correlation between clinical outcomes and the recovery in muscle strength will be needed.
