This study estimates the relative position between body segments using segment orientation and segment-to-joint center (S2J) vectors. In many wearable motion tracking technologies, the S2J vector is treated as a constant based on the assumption that rigid body segments are connected by a mechanical ball joint. However, human body segments are deformable non-rigid bodies, and they are connected via ligaments and tendons; therefore, the S2J vector should be determined as a time-varying vector, instead of a constant. In this regard, our previous study (2021) proposed a method for determining the time-varying S2J vector from the learning dataset using a regression method. Because that method uses a deformation-related variable to consider the deformation of S2J vectors, the optimal variable must be determined in terms of estimation accuracy by motion and segment. In this study, we investigated the effects of deformation-related variables on the estimation accuracy of the relative position. The experimental results showed that the estimation accuracy was the highest when the flexion and adduction angles of the shoulder and the flexion angles of the shoulder and elbow were selected as deformation-related variables for the sternum-to-upper arm and upper arm-to-forearm, respectively. Furthermore, the case with multiple deformation-related variables was superior by an average of 2.19 mm compared to the case with a single variable.

Background and Objectives: Fibula is the flap of choice for reconstruction of wide mandible defects after tumor ablation surgery. In mandible reconstruction, restoring the mandible frame to provide mandibular contour and dental arch while restoring masticatory function are important. Even though vascularized fibula can be osteotomized freely, proper design and flap insetting is not easy because of its three dimensional structure and difference in design according to the defect sites. We reviewed patients who underwent mandible reconstruction with fibular flaps according to the defect sites and suggest proper modification methods of fibular flap according to the various defects sites after tumor ablation surgery. Materials and Methods: Twelve consecutive mandible reconstruction with fibular free flaps were performed for defects after tumor ablation surgery. Patients were classified into 4 groups according to the type of mandibular defect(Group 1 : defect on central segment including symphysis, Group 2 : defect on lateral segment(with or without central segment) confined to body, Group 3 : defect on body and ascending ramus that does not include the condyle, Group 4 : defect including the condyle). Results: We suggest different modification methods of fibular free flap for each patient group. Group 1, 3 ; contour by using multiple closing wedge osteotomy. Group 2 ; single or double barrel reconstruction without wedge osteotomy. Group 4 ; contour using single or multiple wedge osteotomy and condylar reconstruction with costochondral graft. Conclusion: Fibular free flaps can be contoured to any desired shape after multiple osteotomies to restore various mandibular defects. It is a reliable and versatile method for reconstruction of mandibular defects after tumor ablation surgery.

Rainfall depth is an important meteorological information. Generally, high spatial resolution rainfall data such as road-level rainfall data are more beneficial. However, it is expensive to set up sufficient Automatic Weather Systems to get the road-level rainfall data. In this paper, we propose to use deep learning to recognize rainfall depth from road surveillance videos. To achieve this goal, we collect a new video dataset and propose a procedure to calculate refined rainfall depth from the original meteorological data. We also propose to utilize the differential frame as well as the optical flow image for better recognition of rainfall depth. Under the Temporal Segment Networks framework, the experimental results show that the combination of the video frame and the differential frame is a superior solution for the rainfall depth recognition. The final model is able to achieve high performance in the single-location low sensitivity classification task and reasonable accuracy in the higher sensitivity classification task for both the single-location and the multi-location case.

A study on the visual cell and eyeball of the endemic Korean species Liobagrus mediadiposalis was investigated by light and electron microscopes. The retina of a small and 2 mm-diameter round eye was thin, $151.0{\pm}4.0{\mu}m$ and has two visual cells, a single cone and a rod cell. The single cone cells are short and thick, $18.0{\pm}0.9{\mu}m$ in length and $5.1{\pm}0.7{\mu}m$ (n=30) in diameter, while the rod cells are longer and thinner, $54.8{\pm}2.9{\mu}m$ in length and $3.3{\pm}0.6{\mu}m$ in diameter. The cone cells are seen an irregular and random mosaic pattern, and the rod cells are also randomly situated at between cone cells. As a rare phenomenon, such structure is one of characteristics reflecting the eye of a nocturnal and bottom-dwelling freshwater fish. The ultrastructure of visual cells was observed with scanning and transmission electron microscopy, both cone and rod cells are divided into an inner segment with numerous mitochondria and an outer segment with stacks of membrane discs.

The presence of a single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly; such patients often present with severe myocardial ischemia. We experienced the case of a 13-year-old girl with the right coronary artery originating from the left circumflex artery. She visited our Emergency Department owing to severe chest pain; her cardiac enzyme levels were elevated, but her initial electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal. Echocardiography showed normal anatomy and normal regional wall motion. When she presented with recurrent chest pain on admission, the ECG showed significant ST-segment elevation in the left precordial leads and inferior leads with ST-segment depression in aVR lead, suggesting myocardial ischemia, and her cardiac enzyme levels were also elevated. We performed coronary angiography that showed a single right coronary artery originating from the left circumflex artery without stenosis. We confirmed the presence of a single coronary artery using coronary computed tomography. In addition, the treadmill test that was performed showed normal results. She was discharged from the hospital without any medications but with a recommendation of a regular followup.

Large scale secular registry or surveillance systems have been accumulating vast data that allow mathematical modeling of cancer incidence and mortality rates. Most contemporary models in this regard use time series and APC (age-period-cohort) methods and focus primarily on predicting or analyzing cancer epidemiology with little attention being paid to implications for designing cancer registry, surveillance or evaluation initiatives. This research models age-specific cancer incidence rates using logistic growth equations and explores their performance under different scenarios of data completeness in the hope of deriving clues for reshaping relevant data collection. The study used China Cancer Registry Report 2012 as the data source. It employed 3-parameter logistic growth equations and modeled the age-specific incidence rates of all and the top 10 cancers presented in the registry report. The study performed 3 types of modeling, namely full age-span by fitting, multiple 5-year-segment fitting and single-segment fitting. Measurement of model performance adopted adjusted goodness of fit that combines sum of squred residuals and relative errors. Both model simulation and performance evalation utilized self-developed algorithms programed using C# languade and MS Visual Studio 2008. For models built upon full age-span data, predicted age-specific cancer incidence rates fitted very well with observed values for most (except cervical and breast) cancers with estimated goodness of fit (Rs) being over 0.96. When a given cancer is concerned, the R valuae of the logistic growth model derived using observed data from urban residents was greater than or at least equal to that of the same model built on data from rural people. For models based on multiple-5-year-segment data, the Rs remained fairly high (over 0.89) until 3-fourths of the data segments were excluded. For models using a fixed length single-segment of observed data, the older the age covered by the corresponding data segment, the higher the resulting Rs. Logistic growth models describe age-specific incidence rates perfectly for most cancers and may be used to inform data collection for purposes of monitoring and analyzing cancer epidemic. Helped by appropriate logistic growth equations, the work vomume of contemporary data collection, e.g., cancer registry and surveilance systems, may be reduced substantially.

본 연구에서는 실제 대형 상수관망에서 보다 효율적이면서도 정확한 신뢰도를 추정할 수 있는 segment를 기반으로 한 minimum cutset 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 상수관망에서 minimum outset을 기반으로 한 모형은 상수관을 minimum outset의 최소단위로 다루어 상수관 파괴에 따른 피해영역을 과소산정할 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 제안된 신뢰도 추정 모형은 기존 신뢰도 추정 모형과 달리, 상수관 파괴에 따른 피해영역을 현실적으로 추정하기 위하여 segment와 unintended isolation, 그리고 수리학적 피해인 압력저하영역을 도입하였다. 또한 minimum cutset 방법에서 정의될 수 있는 minimum cutset을 상수관망 내 일부 절점의 비정상 상태를 야기하는 segment 1개로 정의하였으며 정의된 minimum outset의 동시파괴조합의 확률을 고려하기 위하여 success mode approach를 적용하였다. 제안된 모형은 제수밸브의 위치와 수를 고려하여 상수관 파괴에 따른 피해영역을 추정하며, 실제 대형 상수관망인 Chester Water Authority에 적용한 결과, 기존 신뢰도 추정 모형과 비교할 때 보다 실제적인 피해영역의 추정과 이에 따른 신뢰도의 추정이 가능하였다.

식물에서 얻어지는 정유의 한 성분으로 화학구조가 유사한 anethole, eugenol, isoeugenol, safrole 및 isosafrole이 토끼 적출장관 운동에 미치는 영향과 그 potency를 알아 보고 또 어떤 작용 양식에 의하여 이루어 지는가를 알아보고 carbachol, pilocarpine, barium chloride 및 histamine 등과의 상호작용을 검토하였던 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 화학구조가 유사한 다섯가지 정유들을 단독 투여하였던 바 각각 억제 정도에 차이는 있었으나 모두 토끼 적출장관 운동을 억제시켰으며 그 potency는 isoeugenol>isosafrole>eugenol>safrole>anethole의 순으로 그 $pD_2$값은 각각 4.22, 4.18, 4.17, 4.15 및 3.82이었다. 2. 실험에 사용한 정유 모두가 carbachol, pilocarpine, barium chloride 및 histamine에 의하여 수축된 장관을 이완시켰다. 3. Anethole에 의하여 이완된 장관은 carbachol, pilocarpine, barium chloride 및 histamine에 의하여 모두 투약전과 같은 상태로 회복하지 못하였으며 eugenol, isoeugenol, safrole 및 isosafrole에 의하여 이완된 장관은 carbachol, pilocarpine 및 barium chloride에 의하여는 투약전의 상태로 회복하였으나 histamine으로는 부분적인 회복을 나타내었다. 4. 이상의 결과로 보아서 실험에 사용한 정유들은 향신경성(neurotropic) 및 향근육성(musculotropic), 양쪽에 작용하여 토끼의 적출장관 운동을 억제시킨다고 생각된다.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) 블록의 함량이 62.7 wt%인 PCL-폴리아미드 블록공중합체와 poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)의 상용거동을 시차주사열량계로 열적 성질을 관찰하여 조사하고, 블렌드물의 인장물성을 측정하였다. PCL과 PVC 세그먼트는 상용성을 가졌으며, PVC의 함량이 많은 경우 PCL의 결정화가 방해받아 PCL과 PVC 세그먼트로 구성된 비결정성 균일상이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. PCL/PVC 균일 비결정상과 폴리아미드의 결정상이 병존하는 경우 균일 비결정상의 유리전이온도와 결정상의 녹는점 사이의 온도 영역에서 블렌드물은 고무탄성을 가졌다.
