Genetic ultrasonography refers to the evaluation of risk of chromosomal abnormalities via various soft sonographic markers. Although the maternal serum test is the primary screening method for chromosomal abnormalities, genetic ultrasonography is also widely used and can help increase detection rates. To date, many soft markers, including choroid plexus cysts, echogenic intracardiac foci, mild ventriculomegaly, nuchal fold thickening, echogenic bowel, mild pyelectasis, short femur and humerus length, and absent or hypoplastic nasal bone, have been reported. An aberrant right subclavian artery was the most novel soft marker introduced. Because these soft markers involve diverse relative risks of chromosomal abnormalities, it is difficult to apply them to clinical practice. To optimize the efficacy of genetic ultrasonography, it is important to understand the precise relative risks of chromosomal abnormalities innumerous soft markers and integrate these risks with each other and the results of maternal serum screening.

In the field of scene segmentation, the precise segmentation of object boundaries in sports movement scene images is a great challenge. The geometric information and spatial information of the image are very important, but in many models, they are usually easy to be lost, which has a big influence on the performance of the model. To alleviate this problem, a parallel dense dilated convolution merging Network (termed PDDCM-Net) was proposed. The proposed PDDCMNet consists of a feature extractor, parallel dilated convolutions, and dense dilated convolutions merged with different dilation rates. We utilize different combinations of dilated convolutions that expand the receptive field of the model with fewer parameters than other advanced methods. Importantly, PDDCM-Net fuses both low-level and high-level information, in effect alleviating the problem of accurately segmenting the edge of the object and positioning the object position accurately. Experimental results validate that the proposed PDDCM-Net achieves a great improvement compared to several representative models on the COCO-Stuff data set.

국내외의 학교폭력이나 괴롭힘 실태조사에서 괴롭힘 경험률을 파악하기 위해 자기보고식 평가방법이 널리 활용됨에도 불구하고, 자기보고에 기초한 가해율 및 피해율이 구체적인 조작화 방식, 측정방법 등에 따라 적지 않은 차이를 보인다는 지적이 제기되면서 괴롭힘 평가에서 편향요인은 주요 쟁점이 되어왔다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 690명의 남녀 중학생을 지시문을 통해 조작된 서로 다른 네 평가조건(정의제시/미제시, 익명/기명실시)에 무선배정한 후, Olweus 괴롭힘 질문지의 가해 및 피해문항을 실시하여 성별에 따른 경험률의 차이를 살펴보고, 정의제시 및 익명실시 여부에 따라, 그리고 질문형태(전반질문/세부질문)에 따라 경험률이 다르게 나타나는지, 두 가지 절단점과 성별을 고려하여 살펴보았다. 교차분석 결과, 전반질문에서는 남학생이 여학생에 비해 가해율 및 피해율이 높았고, 직접적 괴롭힘에 대한 세부질문에서도 남학생의 경험률이 유의하게 높았지만, 관계적 괴롭힘에서는 성차가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 괴롭힘에 대한 정의가 제시되지 않은 경우, '엄격한' 절단점을 사용할 때, 전반적 가해 경험률뿐 아니라 언어적 괴롭힘 가해율 및 피해율이 111%~157%나 더 높게 나타났다. 그러나 익명실시 여부에 따라서는 한 문항을 제외하고는 경험률에서 차이가 없었으며, 솔직히 응답한 정도나 비밀보장의 확신 정도도 두 조건 간에 다르지 않았다. 질문형태에 따라서는 세부질문을 통해 경험률을 측정한 경우 전반질문 대비 68%~148% 높게 나타났으며, 질문형태에 따른 괴롭힘 경험 측정치 간의 상관도 낮거나 중간 정도 수준이었다. 또한 전반질문은 민감도는 높지 않은 반면, 이에 비해 특이도는 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과가 학교폭력이나 괴롭힘 실태조사 문항의 개발과 실시 절차의 개선을 위해 갖는 구체적 시사점을 제시하였으며, 본 연구의 한계점과 의의를 논의하였다.

Large scale integrated circuits (LSIs) has been improved by the shrinkage of the circuit dimensions. The smaller chip sizes and increase in circuit density require the miniaturization of the line-width and space between metal interconnections. Therefore, an extreme precise control of the critical dimension and pattern profile is necessary to fabricate next generation nano-electronics devices. The pattern profile control of plasma etching with an accuracy of sub-nanometer must be achieved. To realize the etching process which achieves the problem, understanding of the etching mechanism and precise control of the process based on the real-time monitoring of internal plasma parameters such as etching species density, surface temperature of substrate, etc. are very important. For instance, it is known that the etched profiles of organic low dielectric (low-k) films are sensitive to the substrate temperature and density ratio of H and N atoms in the H2/N2 plasma [1]. In this study, we introduced a feedback control of actual substrate temperature and radical density ratio monitored in real time. And then the dependence of etch rates and profiles of organic films have been evaluated based on the substrate temperatures. In this study, organic low-k films were etched by a dual frequency capacitively coupled plasma employing the mixture of H2/N2 gases. A 100-MHz power was supplied to an upper electrode for plasma generation. The Si substrate was electrostatically chucked to a lower electrode biased by supplying a 2-MHz power. To investigate the effects of H and N radical on the etching profile of organic low-k films, absolute H and N atom densities were measured by vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy [2]. Moreover, using the optical fiber-type low-coherence interferometer [3], substrate temperature has been measured in real time during etching process. From the measurement results, the temperature raised rapidly just after plasma ignition and was gradually saturated. The temporal change of substrate temperature is a crucial issue to control of surface reactions of reactive species. Therefore, by the intervals of on-off of the plasma discharge, the substrate temperature was maintained within ${\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$ from the set value. As a result, the temperatures were kept within $3^{\circ}C$ during the etching process. Then, we etched organic films with line-and-space pattern using this system. The cross-sections of the organic films etched for 50 s with the substrate temperatures at $20^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ were observed by SEM. From the results, they were different in the sidewall profile. It suggests that the reactions on the sidewalls changed according to the substrate temperature. The precise substrate temperature control method with real-time temperature monitoring and intermittent plasma generation was suggested to contribute on realization of fine pattern etching.

Objectives: This study was performed to determine environmental hazard factors and provide more eco-friendly child activity spaces within children's playgrounds installed in Gyeonggi-do Province. Methods: Basic (XRF) and precise (ICP, UV) inspections were conducted. The test items examined were heavy metals and parasite eggs. As a sampling point, painted finish materials (180), synthetic rubber (50), and sand (50) were selected. Results: The total excess rate of heavy metals in the XRF was found to be 7.4% (17/230 points). In a comparison between the basic and precise inspections with 17 excess points, the concentration deviation between the two tests was found to be from 0.01 to 7.7 times, resulting in a large difference. Furthermore, all the excess samples were dual samples. However, the contribution rates of Pb and $Cr^{6+}$ to combined concentration were found to be 85.1 and 14.9% for basic inspection and 91.9 and 8.1% for precise inspections, so there is a similar tendency between the two tests. The excess rate of parasite eggs in sand was expressed at 6%. The excess rate of heavy metals in synthetic rubber was found to be 0%. Conclusion: The reliability of the XRF is low. However, considering the contribution rate of Pb and $Cr^{6+}$ between the two tests, it is likely to be applicable for screening. Dual samples provided high concentrations and excess samples and care should be taken when managing them.

The $CO_2-CH_4$ reaction catalyzed by Ni/silicon wafers was kinetically studied by using a photoacoustic technique. The catalytic reaction was performed at various partial pressures of $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ (50 Torr total pressure of $CO_2/CH_4/N_2$) in the temperature range of 500 - $650^{\circ}C$ in a static reactor system. The photoacoustic signal that varied with the $CO_2$ concentration during the catalytic reaction was recorded as a function of time. Under the reaction conditions, the $CO_2$ photoacoustic measurements showed the as-prepared Ni thin film sample to be inactive for the reaction, while the $CO_2/CH_4$ reactions carried out in the presence of the sample pre-treated in $H_2$ at $600^{\circ}C$ were associated with significant time-dependent changes in the $CO_2$ photoacoustic signal. The rate of $CO_2$ disappearance was measured from the $CO_2$ photoacoustic signal data in the early reaction period of 50 - 150 sec to obtain precise kinetic data. The apparent activation energy for $CO_2$ consumption was determined to be 6.9 kcal/mol from the $CO_2$ disappearance rates. The partial reaction orders, determined from the $CO_2$ disappearance rates measured at various $PCO{_2}'S$ and $PCH{_4}'S$ at $600^{\circ}C$, were determined to be 0.33 for $CH_4$ and 0.63 for $CO_2$, respectively. Kinetic data obtained in these measurements were compared with previous works and were discussed to construct a catalytic reaction mechanism for the $CO_2-CH_4$ reaction over Ni/silicon wafer at low pressures.

본 연구에서는 reverse RFID 시스템을 이용하여 지하광산 현장에 투입되는 장비들의 이동시간을 측정하였다. Reverse RFID 시스템에서는 리더기와 안테나가 광산 장비에 탑재되며 태그는 지하광산의 갱도에 부착된다. 실내 모사실험을 통해 장비에 설치되는 RFID 리더기의 송출 전력 크기에 따라 상이하게 나타나는 태그 인식범위와 태그 인식률의 변화를 파악하였다. 그 결과 리더기의 송출 전력 크기가 작아질수록 태그 인식 범위가 좁아져 정밀한 이동시간 측정이 가능해졌으나, 태그 인식률은 떨어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 현장실험 결과 본 연구에서 사용한 RFID 장비의 경우 송출 전력을 28 dBm으로 설정하는 것이 태그의 인식률을 유지하면서 측정오차를 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 현장 실험 결과를 통해 reverse RFID 시스템이 지하광산에서 운반 트럭의 이동시간 측정자료 수집을 위해 성공적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present study investigated the influence of the aeration rate and agitation intensity on the production of the mycelial biomass and antioxidative exopolysaccharide (EPS) in Ganoderma resinaceum. In submerged cultures with varying agitation speeds and aeration rates in a stirred-tank reactor, the maximum mycelial biomass and maximum EPS concentration were achieved at 50 rpm and 300 rpm, respectively. Under varying aeration rates, the highest amount of mycelial biomass (18.1 g/l) was accumulated at the lowest aeration rate (0.5 vvm) and the maximum EPS production (3.0 g/l) obtained at 1.0 vvm. A compositional analysis revealed that the five different EPSs were protein-bound heteropolysaccharides, consisting of 87.17-89.22% carbohydrates and 10.78-12.83% proteins. The culture conditions had a striking affect on the carbohydrate composition of the EPS, resulting in different antioxidative activities. All the EPSs showed strong scavenging activities against superoxide and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, whereas no clear trend in antioxidative activity was observed against hydroxyl radicals and lipid peroxides. Although the precise reason for this difference is still unclear, the high glucose moiety of EPS is probably linked to its broad spectrum of antioxidative activity.

Nucleate boiling experiments on heating surface of constant wall temperature were performed using R113 for almost saturated pool boiling conditions. A microscale heater array and Wheatstone bridge circuits were used to maintain a constant wall temperature condition of heating surface and to measure the heat flow rate with high temporal and spatial resolutions. Bubble images during the bubble growth were taken as 5000 frames per second using a high-speed CCD camera synchronized with the heat flow rate measurements. The bubble growth behavior was analyzed using the new dimensionless parameters for each growth regions to permit comparisons with previous experimental results at the same scale. We found that the new dimensionless parameters can describe the whole growth region as initial and later (thermal) respectively. The comparisons showed good agreement in the initial and thermal growth regions. In the initial growth region including surface tension controlled, transition and inertia controlled regions as divided by Robinson and Judd, the bubble growth rate showed that the bubble radius was proportional to $t^{2/3}$ regardless of working fluids and heating conditions. And in the thermal growth region as also called asymptotic region, the bubble showed a growth rate that was proportional to $t^{1/5}$, also. Those growth rates were slower than the growth rates proposed in previous analytical analyses. The required heat flow rate for the volume change of the observed bubble was estimated to be larger than the heat flow rate measured at the wall. Heat, which is different from the instantaneous heat supplied through the heating wall, can be estimated as being transferred through the interface between bubble and liquid even with saturated pool condition. This phenomenon under a saturated pool condition needs to be analyzed and the data from this study can supply the good experimental data with the precise boundary condition (constant wall temperature).
