The revitalization of e-business via Internet brings big changes to the postal business, and leads to a tremendous increase of heavy and large sized postal mails with continuing growth of home delivery business. Thus, even though the number of intermediate storages for mail delivery that mailmen use for picking up mails in the middle of mail delivery has been being increased, it has still many problems such as insufficient number and size of the storages as well as avoidance of mail keeping of trust agents. It is necessary that safety of mail keeping, seamless mail delivery, and individual parcel pick-up process reestablishment should be made through an improved counter plan for the problems described previously. This study presents the efficient and right operational plan for the intermediate storage for mail delivery with providing the number and size of intermediate storages per mail delivery sequence according to four different types of post offices.

In this study, It is assumed that customers are both usage unit of spare parts and stores of displaying and selling the goods that are installation unit of having the spare parts. The demand pattern through the effective order of spare parts and issue lis

When customers purchase a product, the process of searching for any purchase pattern process is called ‘Association Rule’. For using of this, if the customers is using unit of spare parts and the stores of displaying and selling the goods are the facility unit of having the spare parts, it will be represented that the demend pattern through the sales list in facility units. Current ASL(Authorized Stockage List) selection is the way of using the result analyzed actual experience used spare parts during the Korea War. it is specified that ASL selection criterion and procedures based on Army regulations and field manuals. This method is not conducted the association analysis between spare parts used the current equipment operating, and have not the clear criterion and analysis system about the ASL selection. In this study, in order to solve these problems, it was carried out the Association Rule targeting the sales list of the spare parts in point of between the using unit and products of occurred month based on the table designed the star-schema. And it is studied and proposed that the ASL selection way using the analysis result.

The signal characteristic of radar wave on concrete decks is determined by the attenuation of the radar due to the conversion of EM(Electromagnetic) energy to thermal energy through electrical conduction, dielectric relaxation, scattering, and geometric spreading. In this study, it is found that the attenuation of radar signal received on top rebars in bare deck concrete with 2 way travel time shows a general decreasing linear trend because of its same relative permittivity and conductivity. The radar signal after depth-normalization, can then be interpreted as being principally influenced by the content of chlorides penetrating cover concrete, which caused corrosion of rebars in bridge decks.

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and often catastrophic disease. Early diagnosis and treatment of PE is im-portant, however, prompt diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific clinical manifestations. On the other hand, syncope may develop as a presenting symptom of PE, and defecation activity could trigger PE. In Korea, PE associated with defecation has not been previously reported. We report on a case of acute massive PE presenting as defecation syncope in a 26-year-old female with a serous borderline tumor of the ovary.

망간은 자연계에 널리 존재하는 금속으로써 체내 대사와 효소 활성조절에 필수적인 요소이지만 장기간 또는 과량 노출 시 면역, 신경, 발생 등 다방면에 독성작용을 나타냄이 보고되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 미성숙한 암컷 흰쥐의 생식기관에 미치는 망간의 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 실험군은 이유한 암컷 흰쥐(PND 22; S.D. strain)에 망간(․O; Sigma Aldrich)을 1, 3.3, 10 mg/kg/day 농도로 경구 투여하였으며, 대조군은 0.9% 생리식염수를 경구투여하였다. 대조군 동물이 질구 개방(vagina opening) 된 생후 35일째에 전체 동물들을 일괄 희생하여 생식조직 무게를 측정하였다. 망간을 투여한 흰쥐의 체중은 대조군에 대비 유의한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 난소의 경우, 대조군에 비해 1 mg/kg/day 투여군과 3.3 mg/kg/day 투여군(각각 P<0.05, P<0.01)에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 자궁은 3.3 mg/kg/day 투여군(P<0.01)에서만 유의하게 감소하였다. 수란관의 경우 1 mg/kg/day 투여군(P<0.05)에서만 무게가 유의하게 증가하였다. 10 mg/kg/day 투여군의 생식조직은 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 변화가 없었으나, 비장의 경우 무게가 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). 반면, 부신과 신장의 경우 망간 투여에 의한 무게 변화가 없었다. 본 연구는 이유 후 사춘기 개시까지의 비교적 단기간 동안 망간을 투여할 경우, 암컷 흰쥐의 생식기관 발달을 교란할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 망간이 생식조직에 미치는 구체적인 영향과 기작을 이해하기 위해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

Protease nexin-1 (PN-1)은 활성화 자리에 serine기를 갖는 단백질 분해 효소 즉, 트롬빈, 트립신, 플라스미노겐 활성화 효소 등의 작용을 억제한다. 본 연구에서는 흰쥐의 Sprague-Dawley계통을 이용하여 조직별 mRNA발현여부 및 정도를 조사하였다. PN-1의 발현이 나타난 조직은 뇌 (전뇌, 후뇌), 심장, 간, 폐, 난소, 난관 등이다. 이들 중 유전자 발현이 가장 높은 조직은 암컷의 전뇌(forebrain) 였다. 특히
