Although several reports have been introduced about dual plane augmentation mammaplasty, the description of periareolar approach dual plane augmentation mammaplasty was few. This article describes specific characteristics, and different classification and techniques for the periareolar dual plane breast augmentation while postoperative scars resulted from inframammary crease approach caused complaints. A total of 124 patients(248 breasts) had periareolar dual plane augmentation surgery from 1998 to 2004. Anatomic implants were used in 43 cases. Most of the patients were satisfied with the outcomes of periareolar dual plane augmentation. Periareolar dual plane augmentation mammaplasty adjusts implant and tissue relationships to ensure adequate soft-tissue coverage while optimizing implant-breast parenchymal dynamics to offer increased benefits and fewer faults compared to a single pocket location in a wide range of breast types with minimal scars. Two types of dual plane classifications are discussed in this study for the periareolar approach exclusively. The boundaries of retroglandular dissection remain constant, as the costal origin of pectoralis major are divided. Type A dual plane implies that the inferior edge of pectoralis muscle lies below the inferior areolar border, and type B dual plane implies that the inferior edge lies above the superior areolar border.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative hematopoietic stem cell disorder. Deregulated BCR-ABL fusion tyrosine kinase activity is the main cause of CML disease pathogenesis, making BCR-ABL an ideal target for inhibition. Current tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) designed to inhibit BCR-ABL oncoprotein activity, have completely transformed the prognosis of CML. Interruption of TKI treatment leads to minimal residual disease reside (MRD), thought to reside in TKI-insensitive leukaemia stem cells which remain a potential reservoir for disease relapse. This highlights the need to develop new therapeutic strategies for CML either as small molecule master TKIs or phytopharmaceuticals derived from nature to achieve chronic molecular remission. This review outlines the past, present and future therapeutic approaches for CML including coverage of relevant mechanisms, whether ABL dependent or independent, and epigenetic factors responsible for developing resistance against TKIs. Appearance of mutant clones along the course of therapy either pre-existing or induced due to therapy is still a challenge for the clinician. A proposed in-vitro model of generating colony forming units from CML stem cells derived from diagnostic samples seems to be achievable in the era of high throughput technology which can take care of single cell genomic profiling.

최근 위성영상의 공간해상도가 향상됨으로 인해 단일 위성영상이 포함하는 지상영역의 범위가 감소하고 있으며, 따라서 위성영상을 다양한 GIS분야에 활용하기 위해서 효과적인 영상 모자이킹기법의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도 위성영상에서의 경계선 정보(강, 도로, 건물 등)를 이용하여 접합선을 설정함으로써 모자이킹을 수행하는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 이를 위해서 경계선 검출 알고리즘을 통해 추출된 단절 경계선들의 추적 및 상호연결기법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 기법을 IKONOS, KOMPSAT-1, SPOT-5 위성영상에 적용하여 가능성을 평가하였으며, 실험 결과 두 영상의 기하학적 차이로 인한 인접부분에서 불연속성이 최소화됨을 알 수 있었다.

Nano-sized MgO single crystal powders have recently been reported to emit ultraviolet by stimulation of electrons in a vacuum. In this study, nanocrystalline MgO powders were applied to a xenon plasma flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for a liquid crystal display backlight to improve its emission efficiency through the extra ultraviolet from the nano-MgO crystals. For comparison, a MgO nano-thin film was applied directly on the phosphors inside a lamp panel through e-beam evaporation. Adding MgO nano-crystal powders to the phosphors improved the luminance and efficiency of FFLs by around 20% and MgO nano-crystal coverage of 40% of the phosphor provided the best FFL emission characteristics; however, application of MgO thin film to the phosphors degraded the emission characteristics, even compared to FFLs without MgO. This was due to insufficient ultraviolet stimulation of the phosphors and the crystallinity and low secondary electron coefficient of the MgO.

Single crystals of hexagonal graphenes were successfully grown on Cu foils using the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. We investigated the effects of reaction parameters, such as the growth temperature and annealing time, on the size, coverage, and density of graphene domains grown over Cu foil. The mean size of the graphene domains increased significantly with increases in both the growth temperature and annealing time, and similar phenomena were observed in graphene domains grown by low pressure CVD over Cu foil. From the comparison of micro Raman spectroscopy in the graphene films grown with different annealing times, we found that the nucleation and growth of the domains were strongly dependent on the annealing time and growth temperature. Therefore, we confirmed that when reaction time was same, the number of layers and the degree of defects in the synthesized graphene films both decreased as the annealing time increased.

In this work, we study the physical layer solutions for 10-gigabit-capable passive optical networks (PONs), particularly for an optical link terminal (OLT) including a 10-Gbit/s electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) and a 2.5-Gbit/s burst mode receiver (BM-Rx) in a novel bidirectional optical subassembly (BOSA). As unique features, a bidirectional mini-flat package and a 9-pin TO package are developed for a 10-gigabit-capable PON OLT BOSA composed of a 1,577-nm EML and a 1,270-nm avalanche photodiode BM-Rx, including a single-chip burst mode integrated circuit that is integrated with a transimpedance and limiting amplifier. In the developed prototype, the 10-Gbit/s transmitter and 2.5-Gbit/s receiver characteristics are evaluated and compared with the physical media dependent (PMD) specifications in ITU-T G.987.2 for XG-PON1. By conducting the 10-Gbit/s downstream and 2.5-Gbit/s upstream transmission experiments, we verify that the developed 10-gigabitcapable PON PMD prototype can operate for extended network coverage of up to a 40-km fiber reach.

본 논문은 테스트 수행 중 발생하는 전력 소모를 줄이기 위한 변경된 스캔 셀 구조를 제안하고 있다. 이는 스캔 이동 중에 조합 회로 부분에서 발생하는 천이를 억제할 뿐 아니라 동시에 스캔 체인 내에서 발생하는 천이도 감소시킨다. 뿐만 아니라 캡쳐 싸이클에서 발생하는 천이 또한 제한시킨다. 제안하는 방식은 test-per-scan BIST 구조에 적합하고 싱글 스캔 구조 뿐 아니라 멀티 스캔 구조에도 적응 가능하다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법들과 비슷한 수준의 고장 검출율을 가지면서 보다 적은 전력을 소모한다는 것을 보여준다.

This paper proposes a CMOS 6-bit phase shifter with low RMS phase and amplitude errors for an X-band phased array antenna. The phase shifter combines a switched-path topology for coarse phase states and a switch-filter topology for fine phase states. The coarse phase shifter is composed of phase shifting elements, single-pole double-throw (SPDT), and double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switches. The fine phase shifter uses a switched LC filter. The phase coverage is $354.35^{\circ}$ with an LSB of $5.625^{\circ}$. The RMS phase error is < $6^{\circ}$ and the RMS amplitude error is < 0.45 dB at 8-12 GHz. The measured insertion loss is < 15 dB, and the return losses for input and output are > 13 dB at 8-12 GHz. The input P1dB of the phase shifter achieves > 11 dBm at 8-12 GHz. The current consumption is zero with a 1.2-V supply voltage. The chip size is $1.46{\times}0.83mm^2$, including pads.

Wireless Relaying is a promising solutions to overcome the channel impairments and provides high data rate coverage that appear for beyond 3G mobile communications. In this paper we present end to end BER performance of dual hop wireless communication systems equipped with multiple Decode and Forward relays over Rayleigh fading channel with the best relay selection. We compare the BER performance of the best relay with the BER performance of single relay. We select the best relay based on the end to end channel conditions. We further calculate the outage probability of the best relay. It is shown that the outage probability of the best relay is equivalent to the outage probability when all relays take part in the transmission. We apply Orthogonal Space Time Block coding(OSTBC) at the source terminal. Numerical and simulation results are presented to verify our analysis.

본 논문에서는 DMB 방송장치의 대역외발사강도에 대한 국내외 기준을 고찰하였으며, 10mW/MHz 이하의 지상파 소출력 중계기 방사 마스크 요구조건들을 분석하였다. 이를 토대로 소출력 DMB 중계기에 적합한 대역외방사특성 기준을 제안하였으며, 3개 블록들을 포함하는 멀티블록 중계기에 대한 기준도 함께 제안하였다. 제안된 기술기준의 타당성 및 유용성은 다양한 실험들을 통하여 입증하였다. 제안된 기술기준값을 이용하면 DMB 중계기의 소형화 및 저가화가 가능하며, 향후 DMB 음영지역 해소를 통한 방송구역 확대 등에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.
