  • Purpose: Although linear-shaped gastroduodenostomy (LSGD) was reported to be a feasible and reliable method of Billroth I anastomosis in patients undergoing totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG), the feasibility of LSGD for patients undergoing totally robotic distal gastrectomy (TRDG) has not been determined. This study compared the feasibility of LSGD in patients undergoing TRDG and TLDG. Materials and Methods: All c: onsecutive patients who underwent LSGD after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer between January 2009 and December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the selection bias between TRDG and TLDG. Short-term outcomes, functional outcomes, learning curve, and risk factors for postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: This analysis included 414 patients, of whom 275 underwent laparoscopy and 139 underwent robotic surgery. PSM analysis showed that operation time was significantly longer (163.5 vs. 132.1 minutes, P<0.001) and postoperative hospital stay significantly shorter (6.2 vs. 7.5 days, P<0.003) in patients who underwent TRDG than in patients who underwent TLDG. Operation time was the independent risk factor for LSGD after intracorporeal gastroduodenostomy. Cumulative sum analysis showed no definitive turning point in the TRDG learning curve. Long-term endoscopic findings revealed similar results in the two groups, but bile reflux at 5 years showed significantly better improvement in the TLDG group than in the TRDG group (P=0.016). Conclusions: LSGD is feasible in TRDG, with short-term and long-term outcomes comparable to that in TLDG. LSGD may be a good option for intracorporeal Billroth I anastomosis in patients undergoing TRDG.

  • Al-doped p-type ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen at $450^{\circ}C$ of by RF magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure and homo-buffer layers are beneficial to Al-doped ZnO films to grow along c-axis. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are ranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}$ to $4.04{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $2.3\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 7.97 to $18.4\;{\Omega}cm$. p-type sample has density of $5.40\;cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67\;cm^{-3}$. XPS spectra show that Ols has O-O and Zn-O structures and Al2p has only Al-O structure. P-ZnO:Al/n-ZnO:Al junctions were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. V-I curves show that the p-n junctions have rectifying characteristics.

  • 산성화를 초래하는 Hypoxia 등 여러 가지 조건에서 변화하는 세포외 pH 변화는 궁극적으로 세포내 pH 변화를 유발하며 세포 내외 pH 변화는 혈관평활근 수축성 변화를 유발한다. 이러한 세포 내외 pH 변화에 의한 혈관 수축성 변화 기전을 규명하고자, pH 변화가 혈관수축인자들에 의한 혈관평활근 수축, 혈관평활근세포내 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도, 그리고 혈관평활근의 $Ca^{2+}$에 대한 민감도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 쥐에서 분리한 상장간막동맥과 그 분지에서 등장성 수축을 기록하였으며 배양한 상장간막동맥 세포에서 세포내 $Ca^{2+}$ 변화를 측정하였다. 세포외 pH는 정상인 7.4에서 6.4, 6.9 혹은 7.8로 변화시켰으며, 세포내 pH 변화는 propionic acid나 $NH_4$를 투여하거나 ${\beta}$-escin으로 세포막의 투과성을 증가시켜 세포외 용액의 pH 변화로 유발시켰다. 결과: 세포외 pH를 7.4에서 6.9, 6.4로 감소시키면 노에피네프린과 세로토닌에 의한 용량-반응 곡선이 우측 이동하였으며 최대 수축력의 50% 수축력을 유발하는 농도(half maximal effective concentration)가 증가하였고, pH를 7.8로 증가시키면 그 반대 현상이 일어났다. 노에피네프린은 배양한 혈관평활근세포에서 세포내 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도를 증가시켰으며, 이 세포내 $Ca^{2+}$ 증가는 세포외 pH 감소에 의하여 억제되었으며 세포외 pH 증가에 의하여 증가하였다. 노에피네프린에 의한 수축은 세포내 pH를 감소시키는 $NH_4$에 의하여 억제된 반면, 안정 장력은 $NH_4$과 propionic acid에 의하여 증가하였다. ${\beta}$-escin으로 세포막의 투과도를 증가시킨 후 세포외 용액의 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도를 증가시켜 수축을 유발시킨 후 세포외 용액의 pH를 변화시키면 pH 감소에 의하여 수축력이 감소하였으며 증가에 의하여 수축력이 증가하였다. 결론: 세포외 pH의 감소는 혈관평활근의 수축성을 감소시키는데 이는 세포외 pH 감소에 의한 혈관평활근의 혈관수축물질에 대한 반응성 감소, 혈관평활근 세포내 $Ca^{2+}$ 유입 억제 그리고 $Ca^{2+}$에 대한 혈관평활근의 민감성 감소에 의하여 일어난 것으로 추정할 수 있었다.

  • We conduct BVRI and R band photometric observations of asteroid (5247) Krylov from January 2016 to April 2016 for 51 nights using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). The color indices of (5247) Krylov at the light curve maxima are determined as $B-V=0.841{\pm}0.035$, $V-R=0.418{\pm}0.031$, and $V-I=0.871{\pm}0.031$ where the phase angle is $14.1^{\circ}$. They are acquired after the standardization of BVRI instrumental measurements using the ensemble normalization technique. Based on the color indices, (5247) Krylov is classified as a S-type asteroid. Double periods, that is, a primary period $P_1=82.188{\pm}0.013h$ and a secondary period $P_2=67.13{\pm}0.20h$ are identified from period searches of its R band light curve. The light curve phases with $P_1$ and this indicate that it is a typical Non-Principal Axis (NPA) asteroid. We discuss the possible causes of its NPA rotation.

  • The study deals with physical modeling of space frame-pile foundation and soil system using finite element models. The superstructure frame is analyzed using complete three-dimensional finite element method where the component of the frame such as slab, beam and columns are descretized using 20 node isoparametric continuum elements. Initially, the frame is analyzed assuming the fixed column bases. Later the pile foundation is worked out separately wherein the simplified models of finite elements such as beam and plate element are used for pile and pile cap, respectively. The non-linear behaviour of soil mass is incorporated by idealizing the soil as non-linear springs using p-y curve along the lines similar to that by Georgiadis et al. (1992). For analysis of pile foundation, the non-linearity of soil via p-y curve approach is incorporated using the incremental approach. The interaction analysis is conducted for the parametric study. The non-linearity of soil is further incorporated using iterative approach, i.e., secant modulus approach, in the interaction analysis. The effect the various parameters of the pile foundation such as spacing in a group and configuration of the pile group is evaluated on the response of superstructure owing to non-linearity of the soil. The response included the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The non-linearity of soil increases the top displacement in the range of 7.8%-16.7%. However, its effect is found very marginal on the absolute maximum moment in columns. The hogging moment decreases by 0.005% while sagging moment increases by 0.02%.

  • We have deposited Mn on Pd(oon) at RT up to 30 ML. LEED pattern changed from p($1{\times}1$) to c($2{\times}2$) order below 0.5 ML Mn deposition. During Mn deposition, we have not found any changes in the peak position and the intensity of LEED I/V curve. Using LEED I/V curve analysis for each coverage, we found atomic structure and surface composition of c($2{\times}2$) ordered Mn alloy on Pd(001) surface. Above 1 Ml Mn, in the first layer the Mn subplane lies above the Pd subplane by 0.32 ${\AA}$. This result is very different from the earlier result of Jona et al., who contended that after annealing at 200 for 2 min, a buckled first layer with the Mn subplane lower than the Pd subplane by 0.2 ${\AA}$.

  • The performance of cooling tower is dependent on the thermal performance of the packings. It's assessed by heat transfer rate and fan power. In this study, new packing was developed for application in compact type cross-flow cooling tower. The packing characteristic curve and the pressure drop curve were obtained by measuring packing characteristic values and pressure drops of small sized filler in comparison to existing mid-large sized filler. The heat transfer characteristics on small sized filler are about 66% higher than existing mid-large sized filler. The pressure drop characteristics on small sized filler are about two times of the pressure drop characteristics on existing mid-large sized filler.

  • The long-term observational properties of the photometric behaviors of the short period(p=0.48 day) eclipsing binary system XY UMa are discussed. They are based on the UBV observatins, which were carried out by Geyer in the yaers 1955-1961, 1968, 1975-1984. Light curves of XY UMa revealed very large changes not only between consecutive observing nights, but also from season to season. Between 1955 and 1984, the mean system brightness increased about 30% during this time interfvals, meanwhile, the orbital period of this system was constant whithin 1.6% of its period. The colour index curve shows similar variations like the light curve but with a phase offset oscillation around the time instants of the primary minama. Observational evidence for photospheric and chromospheric activities on the XY Uma are also discussed.

  • The dissolution characteristic of metal shows the different tendency according to the applied electrical potential, the kind of electrolyte and pH value, etc. In the micro electrochemical machining (ECM), unfavorable oxide/passive layer formation and overall corrosion of electrodes must be prevented. The anodic polarization curve of nickel has distinct three dissolution regions, i.e. two active regions and the transpassive dissolution region. In this paper, the stable electrode potentials of workpiece and tool were determined in sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid solution, respectively. In each solution, different machining property was shown and possible electrochemical reactions were discussed. On the basis of this experiment, the methodology to obtain the proper electrode potential was suggested.

  • 인산형 양이온교환수지 특성 계산과, 이온교환수지의 전위차 적정곡선의 형태에 따른 정확한 이온교환용량을 결정할 수 있는 방법을 알아보았다. 이온교환수지는 divinylbenzene 4%로 가교화된 polystyrene 공중합체를 인산화한 것으로 이온교환용량이 5.7 meq/g이다. 인산형 양이온교환수지는 직선의 식으로 설명할 수 있었고, 직선 기울기로부터 적정시 zero중화와 완전중화사이의 평형상수 음의 대수(pK) 값의 차인 ${\Delta}pK$의 값을 구할 수 있었으며, ${\mathit{x}}=0.5$에서 얻어진 실험 및 이론의 pK값이 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이온교환수지의 전위차 적정곡선은 NaOH나 $Ba(OH)_2$로 적정할 때 ${\mathit{x}}$의 변화에 따른 pK의 실험 값과 계산 값이 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전위차 적정곡선의 변곡점은 원자가가 1가인 이온보다는 2가 이온이 크게 변화되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, g값과 도함수 ${\partial}pH/{\partial}g$의 관계를 Lorentz함수로서 나타내어 더욱 정확한 이온교환용량을 결정할 수 있었다.
