  • The ReCell system (Avita Medical) is a cell culture product that allows the immediate processing of a small split-thickness skin biopsy to produce a complete population of cells including keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells and fibroblasts. This series is the first to highlight the reconstructive applications of ReCell following ablative skin cancer surgery. The ReCell system was utilized for three patients following skin cancer excision. In two cases, the cells were applied to forehead flap donor sites following nasal reconstruction. In one case, the cells were applied to the calvarial periosteum following wide local excision of a melanoma scar. Assessment of the treated area was performed using the patient and observer scar assessment scale after 1 year. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) scores for the 2 patients treated with ReCell following forehead flap surgery were 22 and 32. The score for the patient that underwent wide local excision of a melanoma scar was 45. The absence of a donor site, accelerated healing and the satisfactory aesthetic appearance of the mature scars in this series suggest that ReCell may play a useful role in reconstruction following skin cancer excision.

  • Fatigue crack propagation rate and threshold characteristics of the SA516/70 steel which is used for the low temperature pressure vessels, were studied in the room temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and low temperature ranges of $-10^{\circ}C,\;-30^{\circ}C,\;-60^{\circ}C\;and\;-80^{\circ}C$ with stress ratio of R=0.1. In the logarithmic relationship between the fatigue crack propagation rate($d{\alpha}/dN$) and stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}K$, the linear relationship was obtained up to $d{\alpha}/dN=4.425{\times}10^4mm/cycle$ in the same of room temperature, but in low temperature case, the relationship was extended to the range of low crack propagation rate. The fractured specimens were examined by SEM. Tested results showed that specimen failed at low temperature exhibit the quasi-cleavage fracture formation however considerable ductility proceed final fracture.

  • The enterprise life cycle derived from the product life cycle consists of introduction, growth, maturity and decline. The enterprise tries to reach the growth stage early and stay at the maturity stage stably through expanding its businesses and investing for the new technology. The public enterprise is not different but its life cycle is more prone to be affected by the national development and policy. A typical example can be found in the case of the quasi market SOC public enterprise which spends massive amount of fund to provide social infrastructure. After the fulfillment of its mandated mission it is exposed to the pressure of a merger or a closure usually because large portion of the debt is directly linked to the national financial stability and credit ratings. This research is focused on the variables that influence the life cycle of the quasi market SOC public Enterprise for its future competitiveness is in connection with its normalization, advancement and rationalization. In this respect, categorical variables system centering on public characteristics and profitability drew eight categorical variables such as policy outcomes, public benefit, finance and business values etc.

  • It is difficult to differentiate acute skin failure (ASF) from pressure ulcer (PU). ASF is defined as unavoidable injury resulting from hypoperfusion caused by severe dysfunction of another organ system. We describe a case of ASF mistaken as PU that resulted in a legal dispute. A 74-year-old male patient was admitted to our intensive care unit with sepsis due to bacterial pneumonia. Despite the use of air cushions and regular position changes, skin ulcerations occurred over his occiput, back, buttock, elbow, and ankle. After improvement in his general condition, he was transferred to the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Debridement was performed immediately, followed by conservative treatment (including a vacuum-assisted closure device) for 6 weeks. The buttock and occiput wounds were treated surgically. Despite complete healing, his caregivers sued the hospital for failing to prevent PU formation. ASF is a pressure-related injury resulting from hemodynamic instability due to organ system failure. Unlike PU, ASF may occur despite the implementation of all appropriate preventive measures. Furthermore, misdiagnosis of ASF as PU can lead to litigation. Therefore, it is critical for the proper diagnosis to be made quickly, and for physicians to explain that ASF occurs despite proper preventative treatment.

  • Samuel Beckett's literary sympathies with underdogs enslaved to authoritative figures, found in his earliest plays, continued in a more or less subdued form in his later plays: Not I is a good case in point thematizing a social authority psychologically embedded within a subject. The incessant bouts of self-defense, or confessional, which Mouth carries out on a dark stage is directed to an inner authority. In Civilization and Its Discontents (1931), Freud's diagnosis for individuals torn between the opposite calls of a social order-- which he called, by turns, civil society, civilization, and culture--and of individual freedom was a "neurosis." What Not I dramatizes seems to be this state of neurosis suffered by a subject bound to the contradictory calls of an internal social authority, which forces Mouth to carry on a confessional till she obtains a symbolically/linguistically viable social title of "I," and of her individualistic denial of the position("what?..who?..no!.. she!.."). Mouth's ordeal on stage does not signify the psychological pressure of the social system, with its disciplinary measures of guilt, justice, and punishment, triumphs over individualistic irregularities and abnormalities, for her "maddened" confession will never see its closure. The opposite psychological forces at work inside Mouth, who is both "in" and "out[side]" "this world," will keep engaging in an eternal battle. In a way, she is a perfect parable about us humans living within a system, "discontent" and hung between the contradictory calls of individualism and social collectiveness.

  • Accurate positioning is essential for unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) operations, particularly for long-term survey missions. To reduce the inherent positioning errors from the inertial navigation systems of UUVs, or dead reckoning, underwater terrain observations from sonar sensors are typically exploited. Within the framework of pose-graph optimization, we can generate submaps of the seafloor and use them to add loop-closure constraints to the pose graph by determining the best match between the submaps. However, this approach results in error accumulation in long-term operations because the quality of local submaps depends on the dead reckoning. Hence, we can adopt external acoustic positioning systems, such as an ultrashort baseline (USBL), to add global constraints to the existing pose graph. We assume that the acoustic transponder is installed on a UUV and that the acoustic transceiver is equipped in an unmanned surface vehicle trailing the UUV to maintain an acoustic connection between the vehicles. We simulate the terrain and USBL measurements as well as evaluate the performance of the UUV's pose estimation via online pose-graph optimization.

  • 본 연구는 화력발전소 최종과열기에서 고압터빈 사이 배관과 고압터빈을 지난 곳에 있는 체크밸브와 1차 재열기 사이 배관을 포함한 수증기 배관시스템에서 터빈의 급작스런 사고로 인해 터빈으로 들어가는 수증기를 차단할 때 발생하는 수증기 충격이 배관시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 연구이다. 이를 위해서 수격현상 해석에 많이 사용하는 Flowmaster 소프트웨어로 배관시스템을 모델링하고 시간 변화에 따라 배관 내부의 압력, 질량유량률의 특성을 파악하였다. 이러한 특성으로부터 수증기 충격이 주로 영향을 미치는 곡관에서 수증기 충격에 의한 힘을 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 수증기 충격은 주증기 차단 밸브 직전의 곡관과 체크밸브 이후에 바이패스 배관과 연결되는 곡관에서 수증기 충격에 의한 힘이 가장 크게 나타남을 밝혀냈다. 본 연구에서는 이렇게 도출한 힘의 기본 자료를 이용하여 차후 연구에서 화력발전소 수증기 배관시스템의 수증기 충격 시 곡관과 지지대의 안전성을 진단하는 토대를 구축하였다.

  • 결함을 초기 단계에 발견하여 제거함으로써 품질이 좋은 소프트웨어를 만들 수 있다 이를 위해 결함을 효과적으로 추적하고 관리하는 결함 추적 시스템(Defect Trucking System)의 도입이 필요하다. 기존의 결함 추적 시스템은 한꺼번에 많은 종류의 데이터를 모음으로써 이를 도입한 조직에서 수많은 데이터를 왜 모아야 하는지에 대해 인식이 부족하고 결함 관리프로세스 없이 도구만 적용함으로써 결함 추적 시스템 도입에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한 CMMI 성숙도 수준 2, 3에서는 결함 관리 활동을 수행하는 프로세스 영역이 없기 때문에 CMMI 성숙도 수준 2, 3에 해당하는 조직이 결함 추적 시스템을 도입하는데 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CMMI 기반의 조직이 기존의 결함 추적 시스템을 도입하였을 때 생기는 문제점을 해결하고 CMMI 각 성숙도마다 어떤 결함 데이터를 모아야 하는지, 어떻게 결함 관리를 해야 하는지에 대한 가이드라인을 제공하고자 한다. 그리고 검토 및 테스팅을 통해 도출된 결함 데이터에 대하여 각 담당자 별로 업무를 할당, 추적할 수 있게 하며, 결함에 관한 각종 상태정보와 통계 정보 등을 제공하는 결함 분석 및 통제 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

  • Reconstruction of defects around the knee region requires thin and pliable skin. The superior lateral genicular artery (SLGA) flap provides an excellent alternative to muscle-based flaps. The anatomy and the surgical techniques of the SLGA flap were reviewed and the results of cases using the SLGA flap for coverage of knee and proximal leg defects were analyzed. SLGA flaps were performed in two cases and followed up for at least 6 months. Twelve articles on the use of the SLGA flap were also identified. A review of 39 cases showed that the mean diameter of the perforator supplying the skin of the flap was 1.04 mm, while the mean diameter of the SLGA at its origin was 1.78 mm. The mean length of the pedicle measured from the origin of the popliteal artery was 7.44 cm. The average dimensions of the flap were 14.8×6.6 cm with primary closure of the donor site in 61.5% of cases. Of these cases, 38.5% were due to trauma, 23.1% were post-burn complications, 12.8% were defects after resection of tumors, and 10.3% were for ulcers post-bursectomy. The most common complication was flap tip necrosis. All studies reported favorable outcomes with complete wound healing.
