  • Pediococcus acidilactici produces bacteriocin, which kills Listeria monocytogenes. The bactericidal mode of action of the bacteriocin against L. monocytogenes V7 was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The bacteriocin was purified partially from the cell-free extract using Micro-Cel and cation-exchange chromatography, and the specific activity was increased 1,791 fold. The bacteriocin (6,400 AU/ml) was inoculated with L. monocytogenes V7 and incubated for 0.5h, 1h, 3h, and 6h. The bacteriocin was found to destroy most of the cell wall and released most of the inclusions in the cells after 6 h of incubation. These results suggest that the bactericidal effect of the bacteriocin was due to bacterial lysis.

  • Background: Continuous epidural block is widely used for surgical operation and postoperative pain management. The potential infection due to the epidural catheter is a definite harzard of continous epidural block. We investigated the effectiveness of bacterial filter in prevention of infection due to the epidural catheter. Methods: Patients scheduled for transabdominal hysterectomy were assigned to two groups by simple randomization (50 patients per group). All catheters were placed in the 2nd and 3rd lumbar epidural space, using careful sterile technique. Group 1 received injections by the epidural catheter with a bacterial filter and group 2 received injections by the epidural catheter without a bacterial filter. The infection rate in the tips of epidural catheter left for 3 days were compared between the two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in the infection rate between two groups. Conclusions: A bacterial filter of the epidural catheter for surgical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia dose not prevent all kinds of infection in continuous epidural block.

  • Landslides, failure of slope stability by natural or artificial factors, occur loss of life and properties. Recently, statistical methods and field measurements are used to a study for prediction of landslide harzard area, but there are so many difficulties to find the occurence system because of its complexity. In this study, authors choose the model area where occured landslides to predict the landslide hazard. Authors made a database of ground height to compare the each topography by scale of 1 : 25,000, 1 : 10,000, 1 : 5,000 and 1 : 1,200. Authors predict to landslide hazard area by the weight of ground height data and slope angle data. Finally, authors could know the possibility of prediction to find the landslide hazard partly.

  • Time and temperature conditions, and microbiological qualities of six categories of menu items were assessed according to the process of food product Row in a 500 bed general hospital. The Harzard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system was applied to determine harzards, to assess their severity and risks, and to identity CCPs and memos for monitoring mem. The Critical Control Points identified for each category of menu items were: Meat Soup (Kyung Sang Do Gogi Guk): Pre-preparation, holding after pre-preration, and holding after cooking; Pot Stewed Stuffed Cabbage (Soe Yangbaechu Mali Chim): pre-preparation, holding after Pre-preparation, stuffing, cooking and holding after cooking; Boned Pork Sour Salad (Doeji Suyuk Muchim): Pre-preparation, holding after pre-preparation, and post-preparation after cooking; Sauteed Pork Ball (Jeyuk Wanja Jon): pre-preparation, holding after pre-preparation, shaping, and holding after cooking; Stir-fried Fragrant Mushroom (Pyogo Bosot Bokkum): basic ingredients, Pre-preparation, holding after pre-preparation, and holding after cooking; and Fried Corn with Vegetables (Oksusu Yachae Tuigim): pre-preparation, holding after pre-preparation, mixing, and holding after cooking.

  • 최근 국내 전동킥보드 공유서비스의 증가 추세에 따라 전동킥보드와 보행자 혹은 차량과의 충돌사고가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 충돌사고로 인한 사고를 예방하기 위해 본 논문에서는 영상처리 기술에 기반한 후방위험요소 감지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 전동킥보드 사용자의 안전 헬멧에 라즈베리파이와 파이캠을 장착하여 가까이 오는 보행자나 차량을 영상처리 기법을 활용하여 인식하도록 하여 이들과의 충돌을 사전에 방지하도록 해준다. 제안 시스템의 정확도를 파악하기 위해 입력영상의 해상도별 처리속도와 정확도를 비교한다. 아울러, 제안 시스템을 안전 헬멧에 장착하여 테스트필드 실험을 통해 실제 환경에서 사용가능 여부를 검증한다.

  • This study, a point rainfall process model, which could represent appropriately observed rainfall data, was to select. The point process models-rectangular pulses Poisson process model(RPPM), Neyman-Scott rectangular pulses Poisson process model(NS-RPPM), and modified Neyman-Scott rectangular pulses Poisson process model(modified NS-RPPM)-all based on Poisson process were considered as possible rainfall models, whose statistical analyses were performed with their simulation rainfall data. As results, simulated rainfall data using the NS-RPPM and the modified NS-RPPM represent appropriately statistics of observed data for several aggregation levels. Also, simulated rainfall data using the modified NS-RPPM shows similar characteristics of rainfall occurrence to the observed rainfall data. Especially, the modified NS-RPPM reproduces high-intensity rainfall events that contribute largely to occurrence of natural harzard such as flood and landslides most similarly. Also, the modified NS-RPPM shows the best results with respect to the total rainfall amount, duration, and inter-event time. In conclusions, the modified NS-RPPM was found to be the most appropriate model for the long-term simulation of rainfall.

  • In this study, the HAPs(Harzard Air Pollutants) emission factor level of Starex and Grand Carnival was tested using PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement System) on real road driving. As a result of RDE (Real Driving Emission test), the overall vehicle speed pattern showed similar characteristics. The real-road driving test at constant speed revealed emission factor is inversely proportional relationship to constant speed. Results of accelerating with speed limit on the real-road were shown as followings; Uran (less than 45 km/h)>Rural (<45 km/h, less than 80 km/h)>Motorway (>80 km/h). Moreover, the sudden acceleration and deceleration in driving at high speed was the increasing factor to the HAPs emission factor. This tendency is considered to be influenced by the operating environment on real roads.

  • Purpose: This study examined the effects of a program designed to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) on VAP rate and endotracheal colonization. The program focused on aspiration prevention and oral care. Methods: A nonequivalent control group post-test only design was utilized. One hundred patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit (MICU) or coronary care unit (CCU) were assigned to either a experimental group (n=50) or a control group (n=50). The participants were selected 48 hours following an endotracheal intubation. VAP prevention program given to the experimental group includes keeping the head of the bed to $30^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ high, maintaining continuous endotracheal cuff pressure at 25 cm $H_2O$, performing endotracheal suction before change position, and providing oral care with 0.1% chlorhexidine every four hours. The control group received usual care. Data were analyzed using t-test, $x^2$ test, Mantel-Haenszel $x^2$ and Cox proportional harzard regression model. Results: The experimental group showed a lower VAP rate than the control group although the difference was not statistically significant ($x^2=0.79$, p=.375). The experimental group showed lower colonization in tracheal secretion than the control group ($x^2=14.59$, p<.001). Conclusion: Results showed that a VAP prevention program is effective in reducing colonization of tracheal secretion. Therefore, VAP prevention programs are recommended as an ICU nursing intervention.
