Intervertebral disk disease is a common neurological disease in dogs. In veterinary neurology clinics, the incidence of intervertebral disk disease and the spinal cord compression rate of the disk are well documented. However, the direction of herniation of the intervertebral disk is relatively less known on Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, this study systematically investigated and analyzed the intervertebral disk disease in dogs. Especially, classification according to the direction of herniation of the disk, the degree of pre - treatment neurological manifestation, and the compression rate was investigated. In addition, the treatment methods of patients who received treatment after visiting the Chonbuk animal medical center (CAMC) were divided into pharmacological treatment and surgical treatment. The location of intervertebral disc in spinal canal was mainly ventral (69.9%), and when the prognosis was evaluated according to the compression rate of the spinal cord, the prognosis of the surgical treatment (72.7%) was more effective than the non - surgical medication (40.6%). Surgical treatment (83.3%) was more successful than nonsurgical medication (60%), especially in cases of severe spinal cord compression (> 50%). In this study, surgical treatment was more effective when the neurological symptoms were severe or the spinal cord compression rate was high.

The HFMX((High Flux Macromolecular X-ray crystallography) beamline at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory uses beams from a multi-pole wiggler. Two horizontal and vertical slits relevant to high heat-load are installed at its front-end. In order to treat high heat-load with reducing beam scattering, the horizontal slit has two Glidcop blocks with a grazing incidence angle of $10^{\circ}$ of a grazing-incidence knife-edge configuration. The blocks adjust the slit gap by being translated along guides by two actuating bars, respectively. Water flowing through holes, drilled along the actuating bars, cools the heat-load of both blocks. The vortical slit has the same structure as the horizontal slit except its installation direction with respect to the vacuum chamber and its grazing incidence angle. By virtue of a pair of blocks translating on guides, no alignment between both blocks is required and the installed slits show stable operating performance. The cooling performance of the two slits has been also shown to be acceptable. In this paper, the detailed explanation for the design of the two slits is presented and their operating performance is discussed.

Landslides are caused by earthquakes or heavy rains. Recently the incidence of landslides has been increased. However, it is impossible to predict the occurrence of landslide exactly. The purpose of this research is that subdivide the classes of elements in the landslide management system by using spatial analysis technique and AHP method. The existing landslide management system is only comprised of weighted value the slope elements without weighted value about the slop direction elements. For the accuracy improvement in landslide occurrence point, weighted value about the slope direction should be considered. This research is focused on segmentation in slope direction three categories. If the direction of landslide does not affect the structure, I do not think the subject is worth considerating. Based on these results will discuss the improvements in Landslides management systems. Analysis results, segmentation on the slope and the slope direction are needed. Segmented categories about topography elements will be increase the accuracy of landslides management system. Also, since topography of the elements is only considered, segmentation of different elements is needed.

An active flow control technique based on "smart-tabs" is proposed to delay flow separation on a circular cylinder. The actuators are retractable and orientable multilayer piezoelectric tabs which protrude perpendicularly from the model surface. They are mounted along the spanwise direction with constant spacing. The effectiveness of the control was tested in pre-critical and in post-critical regime by evaluating the effects of several control parameters of the tabs like frequency, amplitude, height, angular position and plate incidence with respect to the local flow. Measurements of the mean static pressure distribution around the cylinder were used to estimate the pressure drag coefficient. The maximum drag reduction achieved in the pre-critical regime was of the order of 30%, whereas in the post-critical regime was about 10%, 3% of which due to active forcing. Furthermore, pressure fluctuation measurements were performed and spectral analysis indicated an almost complete suppression of the vortex shedding in active forcing conditions.

We studied prism design method for actual light source that have bulk in order to accomplish particular intensity distribution. When we know incidence angle and try to send ray to given direction, numerical formula that yields prism vertical angle, and then vertical angles were calculated sequentially. After analyzing problem that supposing to point light source, supplemented this and derived applicable prism design method on bulk light source. The intensity distribution and efficiency that came out by each design results were compared and analyzed, we got improved results through supplemented design method.

Typical Tonpilz type underwater acoustic transducers making use of piezoelectric ceramics detect the magnitude of an acoustic pressure, a scalar quantity, and convert this pressure into a proportional output voltage. The scalar sensor has no directional sensitivity. In this paper, we have proposed a new vector sensor based on the Tonpilz transducer structure, which is sensitive to both the magnitude and the azimuthal direction of an acoustic wave. Validity of this new design has been confirmed with analytic equations and finite element analyses.

Optical transmission characteristics of retardation film for obliquely incident light is calculated by using extended Jones calculus and it is geometrically interpreted on Poincare sphere representation as rotational transformation. The characteristics of a retardation film is that while the rotation axis is fixed at a point on the Equator of the Poincar sphere, the rotation angle varies with the direction of incidence. This property can be compensated by using a tandem arrangement of the two optical films whose optic axes do not coincident, and this method can be used for the improvement of the viewing angle characteristics of BTN cells. cells.

The importance of development of occupational safety index is truly great. It will contribute to the wise direction of safety program. In present, frequency and severity ratios were the standard measure. These terms express the incidence of major injuries and severity of the major injuries experience, each with relation to the employee-hours of work exposure during the period that is measured. But these measure don't expressed the dangerous feeling degree of worker. In this study, Effective Industrial Safety Index(EISI) was developed using dangerous feeling degree of worker, frequency of injuries, and severity of injury. EISI can be used as an aid for effective safety management in workplace.

AC loss is an important factor in the development of superconducting tapes and superconducting power applications. In this paper, magnetization loss in YBCO coated conductor have been measured and compared with Brandt equation. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angles of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of YBCO coated conductors. The results show that measured values of magnetization loss agreed well with the calculated value by using Brandt equation, especially at large degrees of incidence angle. The magnetization losses were strongly influenced by the direction of external magnet field as were expected.

Fe/MnO multilayers with different bilayer thicknesses were grown by pulsed laser deposition method. Grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity results showed obvious multilayer Bragg peaks implying highly layered samples and, through their analysis, some structural parameters were quantiatively estimated. From the X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to MnO(111), Mn-oxide turned out to be dominantly MnO. To characterize the magnetic properties of $Mn^{+2}$, XMCD were carried out. Magnetic moments of MnO near interfaces were ordered in the opposite direction to those of Fe.
