Sarcoma is rare malignant tumors that develop from mesenchymal cells. Metastasis to the oral cavity is a rare occurrence. Undifferentiated Pleomorphic sarcoma(UPS), formerly known as Malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH), is rare spindle cell neoplasm that can have poorly prognosis with metastasis and local recurrence. This report describes a case of a 77-year-old man who was diagnosed with Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the chest wall and underwent adjuvant radiation therapy after surgical resection. Although there was success of wide excision, two years later, he presented with metastasis to the several organs including tongue. We retrospectively analyzed results of Next Generation Sequencing(NGS), and we figured out RB1 gene mutation. Until now targeted therapy of RB1 gene mutation is not established. Surgeon needs to consider metastatic tumors through identifying patients’ chief complaints and past medical & dental history. We need to research through NGS, and take a step closer to find targeted therapy for tumors.

본 연구의 목적은 루어낚시 참여자의 손목 움직임 측정을 위한 스트레치 센서를 개발하는 것이다. 손목움직임 측 정을 위해 스트레치 센서를 손목에 부착하여 배굴, 저굴 그리고 랜딩동작을 게이지율, 인장강도 그리고 신장회복률 을 척도로 실험을 진행하였다. CNT 분산액을 이용한 전도성 센서를 개발하고 E-band에 동일한 조건으로 적용하였 다. 함침을 각각 한 번, 두 번, 그리고 세 번한 같은 크기의 5종, 15가지 센서를 만능재료시험기(Dacell dn-fga Universal testing machine, UTM)를 활용해 게이지율(Gauge Factor)을 측정하였다. 두 번 함침한 센서가 게이지율이 가장 우수했으며, 게이지율과 인장강도가 높은 세 가지 센서로 프로토 타입을 제작하였다. 아두이노에 연결하여 동작테스트를 한 결과, 인장강도와 게이지율이 가장 높은 시료 1이 세 가지 동작에서 일정한 파장이 유지되었다. 시료 2,3은 배굴과 저굴에서는 일정한 파장을 나타내었지만, 랜딩동작에서는 신호 노이즈가 나타났다. 이는, 랜딩동작에서 는 인장강도와, 게이지율에 따라 파장의 패턴이 다르게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과로 손목의 움직 임 측정을 위한 스트레치 센서 제작시에 필요한 조건들을 유추할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 활용하여 루어낚시용 스마트 웨어러블 제품 개발에 응용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 남해안 자란만 패류양식어장에서 약 2년 동안 월별로 기초생산력, Chl. a, 영양염류, 입자유기물질과 퇴적물의 유기오 염 정도 및 생화학 조성 등 주요 양식생물의 서식환경인자의 변동특성과 상관성 등을 분석하였다. 또한, 다른 연안 어장과 기초생산력을 비교하고 어장환경관리와 관련된 정책방안을 제시하였다. 월별 평균 기초생산력은 6.43∼115.43 ㎎C m-2 hr-1 범위로 여름과 가을에 높았는 데, 가막만과 마산만 보다는 낮았고, 가로림만과 서해보다는 높았으며, 대체적으로 양식장이 많이 분포한 내만은 그 변동 폭이 상대적으 로 컸다. Chl. a를 구성하는 식물플랑크톤의 크기별 점유율이 시기별로 다소 차이가 있었고, 영양염의 고갈로 인한 식물플랑크톤의 생산력 제한은 거의 없었으나, 대부분 시기에 N/P비가 16 이하로 질소가 상대적으로 부족한 것으로 판단되었다. 수층 입자유기물질의 생화학적 조성은 탄수화물이 가장 높았으나, 반면 표층 퇴적물에서는 지질과 단백질 함량이 높았다. 퇴적물의 TOC와 AVS 농도는 만 안쪽에서 높 았고 일부 시기에는 어장환경기준을 초과한 상태였으며, C:N 비는 평균 8.1∼10.4 범위로 나타났다. 기초생산력은 Chl. a와의 상관성이 가 장 높았고, 입자물질성분 중에서는 탄소보다는 질소 및 단백질과의 상관성이 높았다. 최근 5년 동안의 수층에서의 Chl. a, DIN, DIP 농도는 감소하는 경향이었지만, 반대로 퇴적물의 오염도는 증가하는 추세였다. 자란만의 연간 기초생산력 125.9 gC m-2 yr-1, 굴 양식장 면적 4.97 ㎞2 를 고려하면 연간 식물플랑크톤으로부터 생산되는 탄소량이 약 625 ton이며, 연간 굴 생산 습중량은 약 6,250 ton으로 추정되었다.

A heat exchanger refers to a pressure vessel that indirectly exchanges heat between low-temperature/ high-temperature fluids with a solid wall interposed therebetween, and a shell-and-tube cylindrical heat exchanger is generally applied. The shell-and-tube cylindrical heat exchanger is widely used in ships and there is a problem in that the welding area is narrow and welding defects occur a lot due to high-level welding. In particular, in the case of a ship heat exchanger, if a problem occurs in the welding part during operation, the possibility of a safety accident is high, and repair is not easy. In this study, to solve this problem, the GTAW(Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) method was applied to secure the optimum conditions for pipe welding of STS304 material with a thickness of 5.5mm and to conduct a test. Afterwards, in accordance with the ASME rules, welding performance was verified through cross-sectional observation of welds, mechanical property tests, (tensile strength, bending strength, cryogenic impact strength) and non-destructive testing(PT, RT).

The study was aimed to investigate the operational meal costs by kindergarten size in Seoul and to analyze recognition for optimal meal prices. A survey (31.6% recovery rate) was conducted on all kindergartens (779 kindergartens) in Seoul on April 2021 using descriptive analysis, t-test, and dispersion method. A price sensitivity measurement (psm) method was used to determine optimal meal prices. Result showed an average food cost for kindergartens of 2,647 won, an average labor cost of 605 won, an average operating cost of 146 won, and the total meal cost of 3,506 won. Total meal cost decreased with increasing kindergarten size (p<0.001). On the other hand, kindergartens with more students decreased the ratio of food cost to total meal cost, and operating cost and labor costs (p<0.001) increased. The optimal price of kindergarten operators' meal cost (OPP) was KRW 3,673. Furthermore, the analysis showed the sensitivity of operators' meal costs to kindergarten size was insignificant.

The plastic deformation behavior of additively manufactured anisotropic structures are analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). Hill’s quadratic anisotropic yield function is used, and a modified return-mapping method based on dual potential is presented. The plane stress biaxial loading condition is considered to investigate the number of iterations required for the convergence of the Newton-Raphson method during plastic deformation analysis. In this study, incompressible plastic deformation is considered, and the associated flow rule is assumed. The modified returnmapping method is implemented using the ABAQUS UMAT subroutine and effective in reducing the number of iterations in the Newton-Raphson method. The anisotropic tensile behavior is computed using the 3-dimensional FEM for two tensile specimens manufactured along orthogonal additive directions.

천수만과 태안해역의 제한영양염을 평가하기 위해 장기자료 분석과 생물검정실험을 진행하였다. 우선 잠재적인 제한영양염을 평가하기 위해 국가수질측정망에서 제공되는 2004~2016년 동안의 장기 영양염 자료를 이용하였다. 장기자료의 DIN/DIP를 분석한 결과 대 부분 16이하로 N 제한이 우세하였지만 N, P, Si의 농도비를 이용한 분석에서는 하계와 추계에는 N 제한이 우세하였고, 동계와 춘계에는 해역에 따라 일부 Si 제한을 보이거나 또는 제한이 나타나지 않았다. 생물검정실험 시 채집된 현장수의 영양염 분석결과, DIN/DIP는 3월 과 5월에 모든 정점에서 P 제한을 나타냈고, 7월과 10월에는 N 제한이 우세하였다. N, P, Si의 농도비를 이용한 분석에서 3월과 5월은 P와 Si 제한을 보이거나 제한영양염이 나타나지 않은 정점이 존재하였으나 7월과 10월에는 N 제한이 우세하였다. 실질적인 제한영양염을 평 가하기 위해 수행된 생물검정실험 결과 3월에는 특정 제한영양염이 나타나지 않았으나, 5월, 7월 10월에는 NH4 +와 NO3 -가 반응을 보임으 로서 이 시기에는 N이 식물플랑크톤 성장에 직접 관여하는 실질적인 제한영양염임을 확인하였다.

백악기 구례분지 구례층군에 대한 쇄설성 저어콘 레이저삭박 다검출기 유도결합플라즈마 질량분석기(LA-MCICP- MS) U-Pb 연대측정을 수행하였다. 구례층군은 하부로부터 수평리층, 금정리층, 토금층, 오봉산층으로 구성되며, 이 번 연구에서는 연대측정을 위해 총 5개의 시료를 채취하였다. 그 결과 구례층군의 최하부 지층인 수평리층과 최상부 지층인 오봉산층에서는 각각 선캄브리아시대와 후기 백악기 저어콘들만이 산출되어 비교적 좁은 연대 분포 범위를 보 였다. 그러나, 금정리층 상하부와 토금층에서는 선캄브리아시대부터 백악기까지의 비교적 넓은 저어콘 연대 분포를 나 타냈다. 백악기 저어콘이 산출되지 않은 수평리층을 제외한 각 퇴적층의 가장 젊은 쇄설성 저어콘 U-Pb 연령은 금정리 층 하부에서 약 107.4 Ma, 금정리층 상부에서 약 104.6 Ma, 토금층에서 약 97.7 Ma, 오봉산층에서 약 88.5 Ma로 계산 되었다. 이는 구례층군의 퇴적시기가 대략 전기 백악기 말의 알바절(Albian)에서 후기 백악기의 코냑절(Coniacian)로 제한될 수 있음을 지시한다. 또한 각 지층별 쇄설성 저어콘 연령 분포에 근거한 구례층군 퇴적물 기원지는 분지의 진화 과정 동안 인근의 영남육괴에서부터 옥천대의 일부까지 확장되어 변화했을 것으로 해석되며, 구례층군을 구성하는 퇴적 층들의 백악기 저어콘 산출 양상은 백악기 동안 고태평양판의 슬랩 퇴각 작용을 잘 반영하는 것으로 보인다.

The water consumption data of individual consumers must be analyzed and forecast to establish an effective water demand management plan. A k-mean cluster model that can monitor water use characteristics based on hourly water consumption data measured using automated meter reading devices and demographic factors is developed in this study. In addition, the quantification model that can estimate the daily water consumption is developed. K-mean cluster analysis based on the four clusters shows that the average silhouette coefficient is 0.63, also the silhouette coefficients of each cluster exceed 0.60, thereby verifying the high reliability of the cluster analysis. Furthermore, the clusters are clearly classified based on water usage and water usage patterns. The correlation coefficients of four quantification models for estimating water consumption exceed 0.74, confirming that the models can accurately simulate the investigated demographic data. The statistical significance of the models is considered reasonable, hence, they are applicable to the actual field. Because the use of automated smart water meters has become increasingly popular in recent year, water consumption has been metered remotely in many areas. The proposed methodology and the results obtained in this study are expected to facilitate improvements in the usability of smart water meters in the future.

This study was to investigate an analytical method for determining dieckol content in Ecklonia stolonifera extract. According to the guidelines of International Conference on Harmonization. Method validation was performed by measuring the specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ) of dieckol using high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array. The results showed that the correlation coefficient of calibration curve (R2) for dieckol was 0.9997. The LOD and LOQ for dieckol were 0.18 and 0.56 μg/mL, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precision values of dieckol were approximately 1.58-4.39% and 1.37-4.64%, respectively. Moreover, intra- and inter-day accuracies of dieckol were approximately 96.91- 102.33% and 98.41-105.71%, respectively. Thus, we successfully validated the analytical method for estimating dieckol content in E. stolonifera extract.

In this study, a two-stage electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was developed using a novel automatic dry cleaning device to reduce the ultrafine particles in subway stations. Collection efficiency was evaluated with a pilot scale ESP (1.2m× 1.2m) and the scale of the test duct was half of the subway air handling unit. The maximum collection efficiency for 0.3 μm particles was 96.9%. In addition, we studied a method of automatic dry cleaning for maintenance of the ESP. The cleaning efficiency was analyzed according to the cleaning flow rate for each particle loading amount to achieve a recovery rate over 90%. In addition, we derived the equation to estimate the reduction in collection efficiency according to the particle loading amount. It was confirmed that the performance of the contaminated ESP was restored to the initial state by the automatic dry cleaning in this study and that the electrical energy consumption was 5 times lower compared to utilizing conventional water cleaning.

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of soybean silage as a crude protein supplement for corn silage in the diet of Hanwoo steers. The first experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing corn silage with soybean silage at different levels on rumen fermentation characteristics in vitro. Commercially-purchased corn silage was replaced with 0, 4, 8, or 12% of soybean silage. Half gram of the substrate was added to 50 mL of buffer and rumen fluid from Hanwoo cows, and then incubated at 39°C for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. At 24 h, the pH of the control (corn silage only) was lower (p<0.05) than that of soybeansupplemented silages, and the pH numerically increased along with increasing proportions of soybean silage. Other rumen parameters, including gas production, ammonia nitrogen, and total volatile fatty acids, were variable. However, they tended to increase with increasing proportions of soybean silage. In the second experiment, 60 Hanwoo steers were allocated to one of three dietary treatments, namely, CON (concentrate with Italian ryegrass), CS (concentrate with corn silage), CS4% (concentrate with corn silage and 4% of soybean silage). Animals were offered experimental diets for 110 days during the growing period and then finished with typified beef diets that were commercially available to evaluate the effect of soybean silage on animal performance and meat quality. With the soybean silage, the weight gain and feed efficiency of the animal were more significant than those of the other treatments during the growing period (p<0.05). However, the dietary treatments had little effect on meat quality except for meat color. In conclusion, corn silage mixed with soybean silage even at a lower level provided a greater ruminal environment and animal performances, particularly with increased carcass weight and feed efficiency during growing period.

Probiotic strain is known to regulate the immune system by colonizing in the intestine and interact with intestinal cell receptors of lymphoid tissue. In this study, safety of Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC14471BP and silk fibroin coating effects was evaluated with respect to mucin binding abilities and immune system modulation. S. thermophilus KCTC14471BP was coated with silk fibroin by adding 1% water-soluble calcium and 0.1% silk fibroin. S. thermophilus KCTC14471BP showed the high activities of leucine arylamidase and β-galactosidase. Regarding the antibiotic resistance tests, S. thermophilus KCTC14471BP was susceptible to ampicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. S. thermophilus KCTC14471BP coated with silk fibroin showed the improved mucin binding ability from 16.1% to 71.3% and was confirmed to have no cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 macrophage. S. thermophilus KCTC14471BP coated with silk fibroin showed dose-dependently significant increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. These results suggested that S. thermophilus KCTC14471BP can be expected as a promising probiotic bacteria for applications to food industries such as fermentation or functional foods.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to perform traffic flow characteristics analysis for each point of the long-term work zones and to propose an estimated capacity method to support the establishment of traffic flow management strategies for the long-term work zones. METHODS : The study explained the difference in traffic flow characteristics between the short-term and the long-term work zones, and estimated the capacity of the long-term work zones. The analysis data were collected from five points of long-term work zones of the twolane highway. And VDS and DSRC data were applied to validate data. RESULTS : The characteristics of traffic flow at each measurement point in the long-term work zones showed some differences, among which the capacity was estimated as the starting point to be 1,200 pcphpl and the ending point, 1,400 pcphpl. The delay length was estimated by applying the queuing theory based on the capacity of the start point where the bottleneck starts. As a result of verifying the congestion length based on space diagram map analysis, it was determined that the capacity calculation value and estimation methodology presented in this study were appropriate. CONCLUSIONS : The long-term work zones are mixed with different characteristics of roads, so as the capacity values depending on the analysis location. Therefore, it is necessary to select analysis points and methodologies for estimating capacity and delay depending on the purpose of the analysis, such as estimating the maximum queue length or analyzing the maximum travel time. Through this study, it is expected that by providing accurate information on congestion in advance, road users can detour to other roads, and construction officials can adjust the construction plan to minimize congestion in the construction section.
