As endemic malaria is not commonly seen in the United States, most of the cases diagnosed and reported are associated with travel to and from the endemic places of malaria. As the number of imported cases of malaria has been increasing since 1973, it is important to look into these cases to study the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease in the United States. In this study, we would like to share our experience in diagnosing and treating these patients at our institution. We did a retrospective chart review of 37 cases with a documented history of imported malaria from 1998 to 2012. Among them, 16 patients had complicated malaria during that study period, with a mean length of hospital stay of 3.5 days. Most common place of travel was Africa, and chemoprophylaxis was taken by only 11% of patients. Travel history plays a critical role in suspecting the diagnosis and in initiating prompt treatment.

Hydrogen, as a future energy source, can be a good alternative of fossil fuel in view of environment and energy security. Hydrogen can be both fuel and electricity so that it will greatly change energy paradigm. Therefore, researches on hydrogen in power system area are essential and urgent due to their huge effects. In this paper, the importances and meanings of hydrogen in power system are reviewed as energy storage, DC generator, dispersed generation (DG), and combined heat and power (CHP). Technical challenges in hydrogen economy are also listed.

Plasma etching of $SiO_2$ contact holes was statistically analyzed by a fractional factorial experimental design. The analysis revealed the dependence of the etch rate and DC self-bias voltage on the input factors of the magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching reactor, including gas pressure, magnetic field, and the gas flow rates of $CHF_3$, $CF_4$, and Ar. Empirical models of the DC self-bias voltage and etch rate were obtained. The DC self-bias voltage was found to be determined mainly by the operating pressure and the magnetic field, and the etch rate was related mainly to the pressure and the flow rates of Ar and $CHF_3$.

In case of public transit such as bus system, the probability concept is used to evaluate the Level-of-Service of the operations. And each levels could be classified according to the linear probability value. (TCQSM: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual-2nd Edition, TRB, Washington DC., 2003) In this case, the drivers or passengers wouldn't think that the service level isn't equivalent to the linear probability value. Thus the linear probability value doesn't exactly reflect the service level. This study shows the problems of using the linear probability value in classifying the service level through the case of evaluation of bus operation's punctuality, presented in TCQSM. To make up for the problems of such case, two methodologies are presented in this study. The method of determining Level-of-Service criteria using probability density of headway variation's distribution, presented in this paper, adequately reflects passenger's expected waiting time. According to the application result to real bus operation data, it tis better than the method of TCQSM to evaluate the reliability of bus operations. However further research about the relations between utility difference and passenger feeling of service level in necessary to apply the method that uses the utility function. It remains as the limitation of this paper.

Accurate prediction of peak bloom dates (PBD) of flowering cherry trees is critical for organizing local cherry festivals and other associated cultural and economic activities. A two-step phenology model is commonly used for predicting flowering time depending on local temperatures as a result of two consecutive steps followed by chill and heat accumulations. However, an extensive computation requirement for parameter estimation has been a limitation for its practical use. We propose a sequential parameterization method by exploiting previously unused records of development stages. With an extra constraint formed by heat accumulation between two intervening stages, each parameter can then be solved sequentially in much shorter time than the brute-force method. The result was found to be almost identical to the previous solution known for cherry trees (Prunus ${\times}$ yedoensis) in the Tidal Basin, Washington D.C.

Purpose : The objective of this study was conducted to find out the treatment of joint problems. Methods : This is a literature study with books, seminar note and international course books. Results : Passive oscillation and distraction movement therapy is only joint mobilization and pain control. In the joint therapy need muscle strengthening, training of eccentrical control and neurophysiological therapy for joint mobility, stability, stability of mobility and skill. Conclusion : Joint therapy is not only joint mobility but also strengthening of soft tissue. Need the neurophysiological therapy those are use of ventromedial motor nucleus and dorsolateral motor nucleus, reciprocal inhibition, eccentrical muscle contraction training, proprioceptors and exteroceptor for structures and functional activities. For the pain control, reduce swelling, keeping GAGs and functional activities need direct and indirect therapy.

Presently, there has been growing interests in using mathematics' history in teaching mathematics [Katz, V. & Tzanakis, C. (Eds.) (2011). Recent Developments on Introducing a Historical Dimension in Mathematics Education. Washington, DC: Mathematical Association of America]. Thus, this article introduces some work of scholars from ancient East Indian culture like Bhaskara (AD 1114-1185) and Arabic culture such as Ibn Qurrah (AD 9th c) that are related to Pythagoras Theorem. In addition, some Babylonian creative works related to Pythagorean triples found in a tablet known as 'Plimpton 322', and an application of the Pythagorean Theorem found in another tablet named 'Yale Tablet' are presented. Applications of computer animation of dissection Motion Operations concept in 2D and 3D using dynamic software like Geometer's-Sketchpad and Cabri-II-and-3D. Nowadays, creative minds are attracted by the recent stampede in the advances of technological applications in visual literacy; consequently, innovative environments that would help young students, gifted or not, acquiring meaningful conceptual understanding would immerge.

Calcinosis circumscripta and nutritional myopathy are rare diseases, but have been reported naturally and experimentally in dogs and cats respectively [1-3]. On rare occasions, each of them also occurs in the tongue [1, 4]. Present report describes the gross, serological and histopathological findings of calcinosis circumscripta on lingual muscle and dermis in a dog. (omitted)

이상에서 살펴본 것과 같이 과거 몇 년간 미국 내에서의 자기부상열차 기술개발과 노선건설에 있어서 그렇다할 성과는 없었다. 국가적 차원에서의 대규모 기술개발 자금지원도 없었고 단지 기업이나 주정부로부터의 재원조달이 주였다고 할 수 있다. 다행이 일본이 Washington DC와 Baltimore 노선에 일본의 초전도 자기부상열차 기술과 5조 원의 자금을 투자하겠다고 나서 가시적인 결과가 기대된다. 도시형의 경우 Orlando에서 24km 노선건설을 위한 토지임대협상이 진행 중인데 금년 봄에 결론에 도달할 것으로 알려지고 있다. 그 이외에도 몇 개의 다른 지역에서 노선건설이 추진 중이어서 더 두고 볼 일이다. 연구비 확보에 있어서는 연방정부의 지원이 줄자 전통적인 공공자금에서 민간자본으로 눈을 돌리는 것도 최근의 경향이라고 할 수 있다. 마지막으로 저자가 미국의 기술개발 환경에서 배운 점 중의 하나는 독창적인 기술이 미성숙이라고 하도라도 공개적으로 제안하고 평가를 받으며 사회는 그에 대한 연구비를 지원한다는 것이다. 그 결과 새로운 개념의 자기부상기술의 다수는 미국에서 나오고 있다.
