Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of band ligation and injection sclerotherapy in the endoscopic treatment of children with variceal bleeding. Methods: The study population included 55 children, all of whom were treated at the time of endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal varices at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, between January 1994 and January 2011. The primary outcomes included initial success rates and duration of hemostasis after endoscopic management (band ligation vs. injectionsclerotherapy). Results: The mean age was $6.7{\pm}5.2$ years and the mean follow-up time was $5.4{\pm}3.7$ years. The most common cause of esophageal varices was biliary atresia. Of 55 children with acute variceal bleeding, 39 had band ligation and 16 had injection sclerotherapy. No differences between groups were observed in terms of the size, location, and presence of red color sign. The success rates of band ligation and sclerotherapy in the control of acute bleeding episodes were 89.7% and 87.5%. The mean duration of hemostasis after endoscopic intervention was $13.2{\pm}25.1$ months. After one year, 19 of 39 patients (48.7%) treated with band ligation and 7 of 16 patients (43.8%) with injection sclerotherapy had experienced rebleeding episodes. Complications after the procedures were observed in 10.3% and 18.8% of children treated with band ligation and injection sclerotherapy. Conclusion: The results of our current study suggest that band ligation and injection sclerotherapy are equally efficient treatments for the control of acute variceal bleeding and prevention of rebleeding.

본 논문에서는 DGS(: Defected Ground Structure)을 적용하여 WLAN 시스템에 적용 가능한 모노폴 안테나를 설계, 제작 및 측정하였다. 제안된 안테나는 마이크로스트립 급전을 바탕으로 두 개의 선로와 DGS를 갖도록 설계하여 이중대역 특성을 갖도록 하였다. 상용 툴인 HFSS을 사용하여 $W_2$, $L_{10}$, $W_3$과 DGS 파라미터에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 최적화된 수치를 얻었다. 제안된 안테나는 $21.0{\times}36.0{\times}1.6mm^3$의 크기로 유전율 4.4인 FR-4 기판 위에 설계 및 제작되었다. 제작 결과, 제안된 안테나는 -10 dB 임피던스 대역폭을 기준으로 700 MHz (2.10~2.80 GHz) 그리고 1,780 MHz(5.02~6.80 GHz)의 대역폭을 얻었다. 또한, 제안된 안테나의 측정 이득과 방사패턴 특성이 요구되는 이중대역에서 제시되었다.

The modern infrared (IR) imaging systems use mainly one or more wavelength bands among short wavelength IR (SWIR), middle wavelength IR (MWIR), and long wavelength IR (LWIR) bands. In the process of IR image synthesis and modeling, IR image wavelength-band conversion which transforms arbitrary band image to other band one is required. The wavelength-band conversion procedure includes a temperature estimation process of an object surface. However, in this procedure, an approximated Planck's radiation equation causes errors in estimated temperature. In this paper, we propose an estimation temperature error attenuation method in IR image band conversion procedure. The estimated temperature is corrected with a slope information of radiance according to it. The corrected temperature is used for generation of the other band IR image. The verification of proposed method is demonstrated through the simulation.

For the last 14 years, space-borne satellite SAR system such as RADARSAT-1, ERS-2, and ENVISAT ASAR have provided a continuous observation over the ocean. However, the data acquired from those systems were limited to C-band frequency until the advent of the first spacebome German X-band SAR system TerraSAR-X in 2007. Korea is also planning to launch the nation's first X-band SAR satellite (KOMPSAT-5) in 2010. It is timely and necessary to develop X-band models for estimating geophysical parameters from these X-band SAR systems. In this study, X-band wind retrieval model was investigated and developed based on numerical ocean scattering model (radar backscattering model and hydrodynamic interaction model). Although these models have not yet been tested and validated for broad ranges of wind conditions, the estimated wind speeds from TerraSAR-X data show generally good agreement with in-situ measurements.

We, on behalf of Korean Gemini Office (KGO), present the comprehensive knowledge on the Gemini Band 3 program and introduce KGO's activities to promote research of Korean community utilizing Band 3 programs. We first describe the role and realities of Band 3 programs in comparison with Band 1 and 2. Then, we will provide useful suggestions for preparing Band 3 programs and introduce a few selected cases that successfully use the Band 3 time. In addition to Band 3, we will briefly summarize other proposal opportunities including the Fast Turnaround and Poor Weather Proposals.

In FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter applications, Nth-band FIR digital filters are known to be important due to their reduced computational requirements. The conventional methods for designing FIR filters use iterative approaches such as the well-known Parks-McClellan algorithm. The Parks-McClellan algorithm is also used to design Nth-band FIR digital filters after Mintzer's research. However, a disadvantage of the Parks-McClellan algorithm is that it needs a large amount of design time. This paper describes a direct design method for Nth-band FIR Filters using Chebyshev polynomials, which provides a reduced design time over indirect methods such as the Parks-McClellan algorithm. The response of the resulting filter is equi-ripple in passband. Our proposed method produces a passband response that is equi-ripple to within a minuscule error, comparable to that of Mintzer's design method which uses the Parks-McClellan algorithm.

The coaxial sample holder with 20mm in diameter and the adaptor from type N connector-to-20mm${\phi}$ coaxial tube are designed and manufactured which have been used for designing and measuring the fabricated microwave absorber. In addition, the measure in method of material constants of the microwave absorbers is described, which is focused on minimizing the error due to the sample's shapes, the fitting conditions, etc. After describing the design method of a single-layed microwave absorber, the microwave absorbers for X-band, C-band and S-band RADARs are designed and fabricated, respectively, which are composed of ferrite, carborn, and binder and have good performance. Futhermore, we develop the high performance microwave absorber in extremely wide-band type for RADAR, which is composed of different material and its mixing ratio and which could cover nearly from 4 to 10 GHz.

본 논문은 시험발사체에 탑재된 송신기에서 송신되는 S 대역 신호에 의해 위성항법수신기에서 나타난 RF 신호간섭을 설명하고, 그 원인을 분석한다. 능동형 위성항법안테나의 LNA는 항법위성 신호와 비교하여 상대적으로 신호세기가 매우 높은 S 대역 신호에 의해 포화되었으며, 2개의 S 대역 신호가 위성항법안테나에 수신될 때마다 GNSS 대역에 해당하는 상호변조신호가 LNA에서 발생하였다. 이러한 현상으로 인해 위성항법수신기에서 계산된 항법위성신호의 C/N0가 크게 감쇄하였다. S 대역 신호에 의한 RF 신호간섭을 차단하기 위하여 위성항법안테나 LNA의 설계변경을 수행하였고, 설계변경 전 후의 LNA에 대해 수행한 비교시험을 통하여 설계변경된 LNA에서 S 대역 신호에 의한 RF 신호감쇄 현상이 억제될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Large band gap attenuation of CdS nanoclusters in hybrid sol gel matrix comprised of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPM), 15 wt. % zirconium, and various amounts of cadmium acetate was observed after $H_2S$ exposure. Hybrid sol gel matrixes were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation reactions. The sol gels contained with various amount of cadmium acetate were spin coated to glass substrates and exposed to $H_2S$ gas. The UV-visible absorption peaks were shifted toward blue with increasing the amount of CdS nanoclusters and were shifted to the red after thermal process. Significant amount of -OH absorption peaks were reduced after thermal process. Strong room temperature photoluminescence (PL) of CdS nanoclusters was observed after exposing to $H_2S$ gas. The PL intensity increased for several minutes and slowly decreased thereafter. The luminescence peaks were continuously shifted toward blue as the time passed. Extraordinary Stokes shift (approximately 160 nm) was observed.
