Purpose: This study investigated the effects of 1 year of training on imaging diagnosis, using static ultrasonography (US) salivary gland images of Sjögren syndrome patients. Materials and Methods: This study involved 3 inexperienced radiologists with different levels of experience, who received training 1 or 2 days a week under the supervision of experienced radiologists. The training program included collecting patient histories and performing physical and imaging examinations for various maxillofacial diseases. The 3 radiologists (observers A, B, and C) evaluated 400 static US images of salivary glands twice at a 1-year interval. To compare their performance, 2 experienced radiologists evaluated the same images. Diagnostic performance was compared between the 2 evaluations using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: Observer A, who was participating in the training program for the second year, exhibited no significant difference in AUC between the first and second evaluations, with results consistently comparable to those of experienced radiologists. After 1 year of training, observer B showed significantly higher AUCs than before training. The diagnostic performance of observer B reached the level of experienced radiologists for parotid gland assessment, but differed for submandibular gland assessment. For observer C, who did not complete the training, there was no significant difference in the AUC between the first and second evaluations, both of which showed significant differences from those of the experienced radiologists. Conclusion: These preliminary results suggest that the training program effectively helped inexperienced radiologists reach the level of experienced radiologists for US examinations.

Objectives : To qualify or enhance the diagnostic ability of students in Oriental Medicine, so called standardized patients are ideal modality, but because it's a man-based method, more convenient tools are required. Computer-based diagnostic ability test program gives effective way for the very purpose. So we made a pilot software evaluating Pattern Identification ability in Oriental Medicine. Methods and Materials : The pilot software was coded with Microsoft's EXCEL VBA. 87 names of Zheng (Symptom Pattern) and 674 names of symptom (including some signs) are adopted from the former standardization works conducted by Korean Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) in 1996. Results : Compared with some manned modalities to test Pattern Identification ability, the test by this software shows superiority in convenience and objectivity. Conclusion : This software is world's first program to perform computer-based evaluation of Pattern Identification in Oriental Medicine, and it gives effective way to complement both written test and manned clinical performance test (CPX).

가스터빈 엔진은 운용시간이 축적됨에 따라 압축기, 연소기, 터빈 등 엔진의 여러 핵심 구성요소의 성능이 저하하게 된다. 따라서, 가스터빈 엔진의 운용에 있어서 높은 신뢰성과 운용비용의 최소화는 엔진 제작자나 사용자 모두에게 있어 중요한 문제이다 본 연구에서는 상용 프로그램에 의존하지 않고, 각 성능 변수들과 측정 변수들과의 열역학적 민감도를 이용하여 엔진성능진단 코드를 개발하였으며, 터보축 엔진에 적용하여 엔진의 단일 성능 저하를 예측하였다.

In this paper, we implemented a static analysis tool for weakness. We implemented on JavaCC using syntax information and control flow information among various information. We also tested the performance of the tool using Juliet-test suite on Eclipse. We were classified using information necessary for diagnosis and diagnostic methods were studied and implemented. By mapping the information obtained at each compiler phase the security weakness, we expected to link the diagnostic method with the program analysis information to the security weakness. In the future, we will extend to implement diagnostic tools using other analysis information.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a self-directed e-learning program for ICU nurses and to evaluate how the proposed e-learning program affects the level of knowledge, nursing performance and job satisfaction of ICU nurses. Methods: The e-learning program was developed with the Computer Assisted Instruction Design Model using sources of self-efficacy which included the inactive attainment, vicarious experience, and verbal persuasion of ICU nurses. The program was evaluated by experts. Following the revision of the program, it was applied to a total of 59 ICU nurses (experimental group n=29, control group n=30) from three hospitals. Four weeks later, we measured the level of knowledge, nursing performance and job satisfaction. Results: The level of knowledge significantly improved in the experimental group (t=5.691, p<.001). Moreover, the level of nursing performance significantly increased in the areas of circulatory diagnostic test (t=2.143, p=.039), EKG (t=2.911, p=.006), aortic balloon pump (t=2.491, p=.017), and nebulizer therapy (t=2.085, p=.044). Overall, job satisfaction did not significantly increase (t=1.664, p=.105); however, job satisfaction in terms of relationships with coworkers (t=2.371, p=.023) and the needs of nursing performance (t=2.940, p=.006) were significantly increased. Conclusion: The results showed that the proposed e-learning program using sources of self-efficacy from ICU nurses was an effective learning method to increase the level of knowledge and nursing performance. The propose de-learning program would be a useful teaching tool for ICU nurses improving the quality of ICU patient care.

가스터빈 엔진은 작동시간이 축적됨에 따라 엔진 주요부품의 성능이 점차적으로 저하되며, 내부구성부품 사이에 결함이 발생하기도 한다. 이러한 엔진의 손상여부를 진단하기 위해 가스경로해석(GPA, Gas Path Analysis)이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상용 프로그램에 의존하지 않고, 각 성능변수들과 측정 변수들과의 열역학적 민감도를 이용하여 엔진성능진단 코드를 개발하였으며, 스마트무인기용 터보축 엔진에 적용하여 엔진의 단일 성능 저하를 예측하여 보았다.

PW206C 터보 축 엔진을 위해 신경회로망을 이용한 지능형 성능 진단 프로그램이 제안되었다. 이 엔진은 항공우주연구원에서 개발 중에 있는 틸트 로터 타입 스마트 무인기의 추진시스템으로 선정되었다. 스마트 무인기 추진시스템에서 계측되는 성능변수는 가스발생기 회전속도, 동력터빈 회전속도, 배기가스 온도, 토크 등 4개이다. 그러나 이러한 4개 계측변수로는 각 구성품의 손상 진단이 어려운 관계로 압축기 출구 압력 및 압축기 터빈 출구 온도를 포함한 6개의 계측변수를 진단에 이용하였다. 구성품 성능저하량을 판단하는 성능파라미터는 압축기, 압축기 터빈, 동력 터빈의 유량함수 및 효율이다. 신경망을 훈련하고 테스트하기 위한 데이터베이스는 가스터빈 성능모사 프로그램을 이용하여 구성하였다. 훈련된 신경망을 PW206C 터보 축 엔진의 진단에 적용한 결과 제안된 진단 알고리즘이 압축기 오염과 압축기 터빈의 침식과 같은 단일 손상을 탐지하는데 유용함을 확인하였다.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to develop and test a mastery learning program of nursing skills for undergraduate nursing students. Methods: In this methodological study, first, the preliminary draft of a mastery learning program to provide training for nursing skills was developed based on Bloom's framework for mastery learning. Second, to test the developed program, a single-blinded, nonequivalent control group nonsynchronized study was conducted on 50 senior nursing students in a University selected by convenient sampling. Thirteen students were assigned to a control group; 13, 12, and 13 of them were assigned to intravenous therapy, transfusion, and patient transfer groups, respectively. The achievement levels and performance scores of the selected nursing skills were measured before and after the completion of the program in all the groups. Lastly, the final program was confirmed based on the results of the program testing. Results: Intravenous therapy, transfusion, and patient transfer were selected as essential nursing skills for the program based on the priorities rated by clinical instructors and staff nurses. The achievement levels of selected nursing skills were determined by Angoff scores. After participating in the program, the proportion of passers and performance scores of the nursing skills in the experimental groups were significantly higher than those in the control group. The final program was confirmed which included a diagnostic test, enrichment activities for the passers and three repetitions of corrective activities and formative assessments for non-passers. Conclusion: The results suggest that a mastery learning program for undergraduate students can lead to better improvement and performance of essential nursing skills.

가스터빈 엔진에 대한 엔진 진단기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 엔진 건전성 진단기술에 적용 가능한 정확한 엔진 성능모사 프로그램의 중요성은 점점 더 커지고 있다. 이를 위한 엔진 성능모사는 설계점 해석으로부터 시작하여 탈설계점 성능모사, 부분부하 성능모사를 정확하게 수행해야 할 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 2-스풀 분리 배기 방식 터보팬 엔진에 대한 엔진 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 개발하고 PW(Pratt & Whitney)사의 JT9D-7R4G 엔진을 해석하였다. 각 비행영역에서의 설계점과 탈설계점에서의 정상상태 성능모사를 수행하고, 최대이륙조건 설계점과 순항상태 설계점의 해석결과의 차이를 비교하였다. 또한 구성품 성능선도 축척법 중 하나인 Reynold's Correction의 효과를 분석하였다. 개발된 프로그램의 결과와 NPSS의 결과를 비교하여 프로그램을 검증하였다.

Purpose： For quantitative analysis of the cardiac diseases, it is necessary to segment the left-ventricle(LV) in MR cardiac images. Snake or active contour model has been used to segment LV boundary. In using these models, however, the contour of the LV may not converge to the desirable one because the contour may fall into local minimum value due to image artifact in inner region of the LV Therefore, in this paper, we propose the new preprocessing method using K-means clustering and merging algorithms that can improve the performance of the active contour model.
