  • 최근에 들어 디지털 트윈에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 디지털 트윈은 컴퓨터 기반 시뮬레이션을 통해 물리적 사물이나 현상을 모사함으로써 대상을 최적화하는 기술이다. 그러나 기존의 독립된 디지털 트윈으로는 현실의 복합적인 상호작용을 분석할 수 없다는 한계가 존재한다. 이를 극복하고자 도입된 개념이 연합 디지털 트윈이다. 본 논문에서는 연합 디지털 트윈의 기술적 정의를 살펴보고, 이를 활용한 디지털 트윈의 모듈화 기법을 제안한다.

  • In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there are many sensors around. People and things are connected to these sensors to the internet. Numerous connected sensors produce the latest data in seconds, and these data are stacked with big data of unimaginable size. Because personal information can be contained in any place of data produced, device and system protection are needed. Digital twins are virtual models that accurately reflect the status information of physical assets and systems that utilize them. The characteristic of digital twin is that digital twin itself has temporal and structural identity enough to represent the object of reality. In the virtual environment the reproduced reality, it continuously simulates and it virtuals of the point of time or the future, the replica can be created. Therefore, this study cited factors threatening personal information in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And proposed using digital twin technology that can simulate in real-time to overcome the risk of personal information hacking.

  • The aim of this review is to give insight into the reproduction potential of the Korean native goat(KNG) doe. The mean age of the first estrus in the KNG doe is 141.24$\pm$18.l7 days. The length of the estrous cycle was recorded as being 20.58$\pm$2.63 days, with the mean duration of estrous period being 17.8$\pm$7.3 to 32.9$\pm$1.2 h, and the duration of the post-partum anestrous period being 13.4(9 to 18) to 30.1$\pm$3.8 days in the KNG doe. The ages at first delivery are 10 to 12 months(56.3%) in the KNG doe. The KNG does are no restricted breeding season, because estrus and kiddings are observed throughout the year. The mean gestation period of the KNG doe is recorded as being 150.69$\pm$6.14 days with parities having no significant effect on gestation length. The mean interval between parturitions in the KNG doe is 207.78$\pm$1.72 days with parities and birth type having no significant effect on kidding intervals. The mean litter sizes at birth in the KNG doe are 1.69$\pm$0.03 heads, and litter size at birth was affected (P<0.05) by parity. The mean birth weight of kid in the KNG is 2.04$\pm$0.30 kg with a variety as being 2.28$\pm$0.26, 2.11$\pm$ 0.30 and 1.64$\pm$0.19 kg for singles, twins and triplets over of birth type, respectively. The mean mortality of 635 kids in the KNG is 23$\pm$1 % with a variety as being 28$\pm$3, 21$\pm$2, 16$\pm$3 and 46$\pm$15 % for singles, twins, triplets and quadruplets of birth type, respectively.

  • Purpose Surgery for separating craniopagus twins involves many critical issues owing to complex anatomical features. We demonstrate a 3D printed model and virtual reality (VR) technologies that could provide valuable benefits for surgical planning and simulation, which would improve the visualization and perception during craniopagus surgery. Material & Methods We printed a 3D model extracted from CT images of craniopagus patients using segmentation software developed in-house. Then, we imported the 3D model to create the VR environment using 3D simulation software (Unity, Unity Technologies, CA). We utilized the HTC Vive (HTC & Valve Corp) head-mount-display for the VR simulation. Results We obtained the 3D printed model of craniopagus patients and imported the model to a VR environment. Manipulating the model in VR was possible, and the 3D model in the VR environment enhanced the application of user-friendly 3D modeling in surgery for craniopagus twins. Conclusion The use of the 3D printed model and VR has helped understand complicated anatomical structures of craniopagus patients and has made communicating with other medical surgeons in the field much easier. Further, interacting with the 3D model is possible in VR, which enhances the understanding of the craniopagus surgery as well as the success rate of separation surgery while providing useful information on diagnosing and surgery planning.

  • Although the first case of supernumerary teeth had been documented almost 20 centuries ago, the etiology of supernumerary teeth still remains unclear. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in the general Asian population is between 2.7% and 3.4%. The pathogenesis of supernumerary teeth has been attributed to phylogenetic reversion(atavism), splitting of the tooth bud(dichotomy theory), locally induced hyperactivity of the dental lamina and a combination of genetic and environmental factors(unified etiologic explanation). This report describes 3 cases of monozygotic twins with mesiodens who visited the pediatric dental clinic of Kyungpook national university hospital, and this is significant to support genetic factors involoved in the development of supernumerary teeth.

  • The purpose of this experiment is to compare the pregnancy rate (PR) according to the state of the ovaries and uterus, according to the number of embryos transferred from cows and heifers and to investigate the method of artificial twin induction with Hanwoo $in$ $vitro$ fertilized (IVF) embryos by embryo transfer (ET). Looking at the PR according to the condition of the ovaries and uterus, the result was not influenced by the condition of the ovaries, but was significantly influenced by the state of the uterus. The PR according to the number of embryos transferred from cows was 36.8%, 53.0%, 50.5% for 1, 2, and 3 embryos respectively, and although there was a higher frequency of twin calves with 3 embryos than with 2, the calving rate was the highest with 2 embryos. In case of heifers, the transfer of 1 embryo showed the best pregnancy and calving rate, and although the PR was similar with 2 embryos (67.7 versus 66.4), in case of 2 embryos transferred there was high frequency of embryonic loss( 6.1%) occurred when a cow was diagnosed at 28 and 53 d after ET, total loss (21.3%; sum of fetal death, abortion and stillbirth after pregnant diagnosis at 60 day).

  • Tomb No. 1 (Donghachong) of the Buyeo Neungsan-ri Tomb complex (listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site), is a royal tomb of the Baekje Sabi Period. One wooden coffin unearthed there is an important relic of the funerary culture of the Baekje. This study examines the production techniques of gilt-bronze objects attached to the wooden coffin excavated from Donghachong. The base metal of the gilt-bronze object is pure copper, with single α phase crystals in a heterogeneous form containing annealing twins; Au and Hg are detected in the gilt layer. We suggest that the surface of the forging copperplate is gilded using a mercury amalgam technique; it is thought that the annealing twins of the base material formed during the heat treatment process for the sheet metal. The gilt layer is three to five times thicker for the gilt-bronze objects found near the foot of the coffin than those near the head. We estimate the plating process is carried out at least three times because three layers are identified on the plate near the head. Therefore, it is likely that the materials and methods used to construct the gilt-bronze objects found in different parts of the coffin are the same, but the number of platings is different. This research confirms the metal crafting techniques used in Baekje by the examination of production techniques of these gilt-bronze objects. Further, our paper presents an important example of restoration and reconstruction for a museum exhibition, through effective use of scientific analysis and investigation.
