Facial palsy has a broad clinical presentation and the effects on psychosocial interaction and facial functions can be devastating. Pediatric facial palsy, in particular, introduces unique familial and technical considerations as anatomy, future growth potential, and patient participation influence treatment planning. Though some etiologies of pediatric facial palsy are self-limiting, congenital and long-standing facial palsies pose difficult challenges that require a combination of surgical, adjunctive, and rehabilitative techniques to achieve facial reanimation. Given the spectrum of ages and symptom severity, as well as the various surgical options available for facial palsy, a tailored approach needs to be developed for each child to restore facial balance and function. Here, we review the etiologies, workup, and treatment of pediatric facial palsy and present our novel algorithmic approach to treatment.

우리나라 기상여건을 고려하여 온실의 여름철 고온에 대한 체계적인 연구는 아직 미비한 상태이며 거의 이루어지고 있지 않다. 더우기 많은 자본과 기술이 투자된 현대화 하우스에서 여름철 고온화현상에 대처하는 재배기술부족으로 7, 8월 2개월간 작물을 재배하지 못하고 대부분 휴작을 하므로서 시설의 주년이용과 고도활용에 심각한 문제점으로 대두되고있으며 온실의 주년재배를 위한 여름철의 하우스환경의 적정화연구는 온실재배의 당면과제라 할수 있다. (중략)

Cooling of nutrient solution is essential to improve the growth environment of crops in hydroponic culture during summer season in Korea. This study was carried out to provide fundamental data for development of the cooling system satisfying the required cooling load of nutrient solution in hydroponic greenhouse. A numerical model for prediction of the cooling load of nutrient solution in hydroponic greenhouse was developed, and the results by the model showed good agreements with those by experiments. Main factors effecting on cooling load were solar radiation and air temperature in weather data, and conductivity of planting board and area ratio of bed to floor in greenhouse parameters. Using the model developed, the design cooling load of nutrient solution in hydroponic greenhouse of 1,000$m^2$(300pyong) was predicted to be 95,000 kJ/hr in Suwon and the vicinity.

Sphingolipids have emerged as molecules whose metabolism is regulated leading to generation of bioactive products including ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate. The balance between cellular levels of these bioactive products is increasingly recognized to be critical to cell regulation; whereby, ceramide and sphingosine cause apoptosis and growth arrest phenotypes, and sphingosine-1-phosphate mediates proliferative and angiogenic responses. Sphingosine kinase is a key enzyme in modulating the levels of these lipids and is emerging as an important and regulated enzyme. This review is geared at mechanisms of regulation of sphingosine kinase and the coming to light of its role in disease.

Today, the power utilities is setting on the slow load growth and the aging of power equipment, then could spend the efforts on the stability of system performance. The asset management is separated by three parts of essential elements : management, engineering and information. The corporate of these parts should be practiced that seek to balance. Asset management is great way to fulfill the economic investment and the stability of system performance. This paper presents the application of effective asset management considering the economic evaluation for reasonable investment, technical evaluation for accurate control management and reliability evaluation for stability of operation.

An unstructured mathematical model is presented for lactic acid fermentation based on the energy balance. The proposed model reflects the energy metabolic state and then predicts the cell growth, lactic acid production, and glucose consumption rates by relating the above rates with the energy metabolic rate. Fermentation experiments were conducted under various initial lactic acid concentrations of 0, 30, 50, 70, and 90 g/l. Also, a genetic algorithm was used for further optimization of the model parameters and included the operations of coding, initialization, hybridization, mutation, decoding, fitness calculation, selection, and reproduction exerted on individuals (or chromosomes) in a population. The simulation results showed a good fit between the model prediction and the experimental data. The genetic algorithm proved to be useful for model parameter optimization, suggesting wider applications in the field of biological engineering.

The purpose of this study Was to investigate the effects of ponding depth treatment on water balance in paddy fields. Three ponding depth treatment, shallow, traditional, and deep were used. Daily values of rainfall amount, ponding depth, irrigation water, drainage water, evapotranspiration, and infiltration were measureed in the field. The results showed that irrigation water depths were 198mm, 195mm, and 355mm in shallow, traditional, and deep ponding, respectively. The three treatments did not show any statistical difference in growth and yields. Shallow depth treatment showed the largest yield.

The purpose of this study was to identify environmental perception of eco-friendly apartment residents in the perspective of ecology. Questionnaire survey was adopted in this study, and 92 cases were used for data analysis. As an indicator of environmental perception, the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) instrument was used. The NEP instrument consists of five dimensions: the reality of limits to growth, anti-anthropocentrism, the fragility of nature's balance, the rejection of exemptionalism, and the possibility of an eco-crisis. The findings showed that the residents held ecological environmental perceptions. Various social characteristics(gender, age, income) of the respondents were related to acceptance of the NEP.

Household debt in Korea raises concerns about the resilience of the economy due to its size and quality. Against this backdrop, we investigate if household leverage matters for private consumption in adverse economic environments even without severe financial disruptions. We find that the balance sheet positions in terms of the leverage ratio may weaken consumption growth. We also find that the depressive effect of debt on consumption may differ across types of consumer spending and household characteristics. In particular, the effects of indebtedness have been much stronger in relation to durable goods expenditures than in other areas. In addition, debtors in high-income (wealth) groups have also shown downward adjustments in consumption even more so than low-income (wealth) groups. These findings imply that debtors' precautionary behavior may serve as an important channel from leverage to consumer spending.

Aquatic plants serve the crucial function of helping to balance water reservoir ecosystem, as they filter and remove major minerals required for algal growth such as nitrogen, ammonia, and nitrates. Aquatic plants provide food, shade, and protection for the aquatic biome in and around the reservoir. Thus, it is important to accurately determine the existence and areal extent of the aquatic plants. In the present study drone-based facilities were used for this purpose. In the Muncheon water reservoir, Gyeongbuk, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Surface Algal Bloom Index (SABI) were used to determine the existence status of the aquatic plants. The data so obtained exhibited reasonable accuracy; drone-based facilities can be used in future to identify the areal extent of aquatic plants.
