Acneiform eruptions are skin diseases that mimic acne vulgaris but lacking typical follicular blockage features. Acne vulgaris and some granulomatous variants of acneiform eruptions can involve Cutibacterium acnes, an anaerobic opportunistic bacterium; however, some cases remain resistant to standard antibiotics treatments. We report a 56-year-old male with facial acneiform granulomas unresponsive to long-term antibiotic and steroid treatments. The patient had no history of additional medications or other diseases, except symptomatic apical periodontitis in a molar toot. Both facial skin and dental lesions shared a key finding, intracellular infection of C. acnes within macrophages, despite differing histopathological features. The facial acneiform eruptions did not respond to initial minocycline treatment. However, following extraction of the infected tooth, the facial granuloma responded to the antibiotics and resolved without complications. PCR analysis confirmed C. acnes DNA in both the dental and skin biopsies. This case indicates the C. acnes-associated oral-skin-microbiome axis although a direct causal link between the distinct lesions could not be fully established. Odontogenic infection may act as reservoirs, impairing efficacy of antibiotic treatment. We recommend dental evaluation for case of facial acneiform granulomas that do not respond to antibiotics alone.

The performance of various types of silencers used to reduce the micropressure waves radiated from ventilation holes and inclined shafts, which are being studied as measures to reduce micropressure waves in railway tunnels, was evaluated to find an effective silencer. In order to find the optimal silencer, the magnitude and frequency characteristics of the pressure waves emitted from the inclined shaft were analyzed to find an excellent silencer. The evaluation showed that the model with a porous cylinder and a small diameter outer tube was the simplest but performed the best.

In this study, a composite material suitable for flexible transparent electrodes was fabricated using Norland Optical Adhesive 68 (NOA 68), an ultraviolet (UV) curable polymer, and silver nanowires (Ag nanowire, AgNW). The mechanical behavior of this composite was then analyzed. A AgNW network structure was embedded in the NOA 68 polymer and cured using UV energy. The composite was prepared with an AgNW network structure formed approximately 4 μm from the top of the NOA 68 matrix. Tensile test specimens were prepared according to ASTM standards, and tensile tests were conducted at room temperature in air. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile tests were used to analyze the changes in mechanical behavior according to UV exposure time and the presence of AgNW. The results showed that as UV curing time increased, the yield strength of the composite increased while the elongation decreased. Regardless of the presence of the AgNW filler, the stress-strain curves of the ductile polymer exhibited the typical mechanical behavior of semi-crystalline polymers as UV curing time increased, characterized by strain softening. It was also confirmed that the composite impregnated with AgNW exhibited higher strength in response to changes in mechanical properties due to UV curing.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key component in the biogeochemical cycling in freshwater ecosystem. However, it has been rarely explored, particularly complex river watershed dominated by natural and anthropogenic sources, such as various effluent facility and livestock. The current research developed a new analytical method for TOC/TN (Total Organic Carbon/Total Nitrogen) stable isotope ratio, and distinguish DOM source using stable isotope value (δ13C-DOC) and spectroscopic indices (fluorescence index [FI] and biological index [BIX]). The TOC/TN-IR/MS analytical system was optimized and precision and accuracy were secured using two international standards (IAEA-600 Caffein, IAEA-CH-6 Sucrose). As a result of controlling the instrumental conditions to enable TOC stable isotope analysis even in low-concentration environmental samples (<1 mgC L-1), the minimum detection limit was improved. The 12 potential DOM source were collected from watershed, which includes top-soils, groundwater, plant group (fallen leaves, riparian plants, suspended algae) and effluent group (pig and cow livestock, agricultural land, urban, industry facility, swine facility and wastewater treatment facilities). As a result of comparing characteristics between 12 sources using spectroscopic indices and δ13C-DOC values, it were divided into four groups according to their characteristics as a respective DOM sources. The current study established the TOC/TN stable isotope analyses system for the first time in Korea, and found that spectroscopic indices and δ13C-DOC are very useful tool to trace the origin of organic matter in the aquatic environments through library database.

An irradiation hardening of Inconel 718 produced by selective laser melting (SLM) was studied based on the microstructural observation and mechanical behavior. Ion irradiation for emulating neutron irradiation has been proposed owing to advantages such as low radiation emission and short experimental periods. To prevent softening caused by the dissolution of ' and '' precipitates due to irradiation, only solution annealing (SA) was performed. SLM SA Inconel 718 specimen was ion irradiated to demonstrate the difference in microstructure and mechanical properties between the irradiated and non-irradiated specimens. After exposing specimens to Fe3+ ions irradiation up to 100 dpa (displacement per atom) at an ambient temperature, the hardness of irradiated specimens was measured by nanoindentation as a function of depth. The depth distribution profile of Fe3+ and dpa were calculated by the Monte Carlo SRIM (Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter)-2013 code under the assumption of the displacement threshold energy of 40 eV. A transmission electron microscope was utilized to observe the formation of irradiation defects such as dislocation loops. This study reveals that the Frank partial dislocation loops induce irradiation hardening of SLM SA Inconel 718 specimens.

This study aimed to address the limitations of traditional plasma nitriding methods by implementing a short-term plasma oxy-nitriding treatment on the surface of AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel. This treatment involved the sequential formation of nitride and oxide layers, to enhance surface hardness and corrosion resistance, respectively. The process resulted in the formation of a 20 μm-thick nitride layer and a 3 μm-thick oxide layer on the steel surface. Initially, the hardness increased by 2.2 times after nitriding, followed by a subsequent decrease of approximately 31 % after oxidation. While the nitriding process reduced corrosion resistance, the subsequent oxidation process led to the formation of a passive oxide film, effectively resolving this issue. The pitting corrosion of the oxide passive film started at 82.6 mVssc, providing better corrosion resistance characteristics than the nitride layer. Consequently, the trade-off between surface hardness and corrosion resistance in plasma oxy-nitrided AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel is anticipated to be recognized as an innovative and comprehensive surface treatment process for biomedical components.

In this study, machine learning models are proposed to predict the Vickers hardness of AlSi10Mg alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). A total of 113 utilizable datasets were collected from the literature. The hyperparameters of the machine-learning models were adjusted to select an accurate predictive model. The random forest regression (RFR) model showed the best performance compared to support vector regression, artificial neural networks, and k-nearest neighbors. The variable importance and prediction mechanisms of the RFR were discussed by Shapley additive explanation (SHAP). Aging time had the greatest influence on the Vickers hardness, followed by solution time, solution temperature, layer thickness, scan speed, power, aging temperature, average particle size, and hatching distance. Detailed prediction mechanisms for RFR are analyzed using SHAP dependence plots.

This study compares the abundance and community structure of zooplankton organisms from pelagic regions, and considers particularly the trophic levels vs. zooplankton abundances and biomass. Zooplankton samples were collected three times from May to November 2022, at 30 temperate lakes and reservoirs, which belong to four different river basins. The total zooplankton abundance, biomass and species index were showed considerable spatial variation. The spatial pattern of rotifer abundance was similar to that of total zooplankton abundance, while there were not showed similar patterns of zooplankton biomass (μg L-1) in lentic ecosystems. The rotifer strongly dominated the zooplankton assemblage in smaller lentic system than that of larger. A total of 130 species of zooplankton were identified (83 rotifers, 34 cladocerans and 13 copepods). The total average of zooplankton abundance and biomass were 213.7±342.3 Ind. L-1 (n=129) and 1382.8±1850.4 μg L-1, respectively. Total and average of zooplankton abundance were usually dominated by the rotifers (>56.9%), while those of zooplankton biomass were dominated by the cladocerans and copepods (>73.6%) in lentic ecosystems. Considering the Trophic State Index (TSI), the factors of zooplankton abundance and biomass were included in between meso- and eutrophic states (27 lakes, 90% of all). The mean abundance and biomass of zooplankton in eutrophic systems were higher than that of meso- and hypertrophic systems. From this result, we suggest that management strategy for the lentic ecosystem water environment has to be focused more on small-sized lakes and reservoirs, in terms of zooplankton assemblages.

This study was evaluated based on the items of KS B 6389. The study on the calculation of angular error and measurement uncertainty of HRc hardness measurement using statistical techniques using Rockwell measurement specimens with different hardness values ​​was analyzed, and the results were derived according to the change in the angle of the indenter part of the hardness tester and the specimen. As a result of the experiment, the test statistic P values ​​for angle changes such as 0°, 1°, and 2° were all 0.000 using the HRc 30 and 40 measurement specimens, so it was confirmed through the experiment that a significant difference occurred between them. In addition, the extended uncertainty value was calculated as 0.612 at the 95.45% confidence level, and the fact that the hardness test value came out smaller than the existing test value as the inclination angle increased was verified through experiments.

목적: 입체경에서 기하학적 단안 단서를 타깃의 배경에 적용하여 거리감 지각의 변화를 확인하였으며, 가상현실에 서 거리감의 효과적인 구현 방법을 분석하였다. 방법 : 타깃의 배경에 사용된 단안 단서는 결의 밀도, 선형 전망, 대기 전망 및 음영이었다. 결의 밀도 단서 및 선형 전망 단서는 선의 개수와 대비도, 대기 전망 단서 선의 개수와 대비도 차이, 음영 단서는 음영의 농도와 범위 를 각각 변수로 선정하였다. 타깃은 모든 대상자에게 무작위로 제시하였으며, 원거리 및 근거리에서 검사 후 5점 척도의 설문조사를 통해 거리감 변화를 확인하였다. 또한, 거리감 변화에 대해 대상자의 지각이 의도한 것과 일치 했을 때 긍정적, 그렇지 못했을 때 부정적 효과로 구분하고, 거리감 변화의 효율을 평가하였다. 결과 : 원거리와 근거리 모두 단안 단서의 변수에 대해 의도한 것과 대부분 일치하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 근 거리는 일부 변수 조정 항목에서 다소 차이가 발생했다. 또한, 거리감 변화 효과는 결의 밀도 단서 및 대기 전망 단서에 의해 선의 개수가 변화했을 가장 높았고, 일부 유의하였다(p<0.050). 결론 : 입체경에서 대상자의 거리감은 주시거리가 동일해도 타깃의 배경에 적절한 단안 단서를 제공하여 조정 이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 원거리 및 근거리 입체시표의 기하학적 단서 중 결의 밀도 및 대기 전망 단서에서 선의 개수를 변화시켰을 때 거리감 지각 변화의 효과가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 보다 정확한 거리감 지각을 위해서는 조절 및 폭주 변화 등을 추가한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The effect of the laser beam diameter on the microstructure and hardness of 17-4 PH stainless steel manufactured via the directed energy deposition process is investigated. The pore size and area fraction are much lower using a laser beam diameter of 1.0 mm compared with those observed using a laser beam diameter of 1.8 mm. Additionally, using a relatively larger beam diameter results in pores in the form of incomplete melting. Martensite and retained austenite are observed under both conditions. A smaller width of the weld track and overlapping area are observed in the sample fabricated with a 1.0 mm beam diameter. This difference appears to be mainly caused by the energy density based on the variation in the beam diameter. The sample prepared with a beam diameter of 1.0 mm had a higher hardness near the substrate than that prepared with a 1.8 mm beam diameter, which may be influenced by the degree of melt mixing between the 17-4 PH metal powder and carbon steel substrate.

본 연구는 부·울·경의 전국동시지방선거 중 시·도지사 선거결과를 통해 보수정당으로의 회귀 가능성과 향후 선거 결과에 대한 전망을 하는 것이 주요한 목적이다. 실제로 전국동시지방선거에서 부산은 국민의힘이 더불 어민주당을 7:1로 이겼고, 울산에서는 국민의힘이 6:1로 우세했다. 그리 고 경남에서는 국민의힘과 더불어민주당의 전적은 6:2의 결과를 보였다. 이것은 지역주의와 지연주의가 부·울·경에서 강하게 작용하고 있다는 것 을 보여준다. 제8회 전국동시지방선거에서 국민의힘이 전국에서 승리하 였고, 특히 부·울·경 지역에서는 양당 후보 간 20%~35%p의 큰 격차를 보였다. 그리고 부·울·경의 역대선거 결과를 비교분석해 볼 때, “유권자 의 선택이 중요하며, 그 점에서 부·울·경은 보수정당 지지로 선회했고, 이 흐름은 당분간 지속할 것으로 전망된다. 하지만, 박근혜 대통령의 탄 핵이라는 큰 변수는 제7회 전국동시지방선거에서 더불어민주당의 전국적 인 승리를 안겨주었다는 점에서 정치적 이슈에 따라 유권자의 선택이 언 제든 변화할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : The exposed aggregate concrete pavement (EACP) is adopted to achieve low traffic noise and long-term skid resistance in European countries such as Belgium and Germany. In Korea, it is first introduced at the Myeon Cheon field site in 2010. It reduces 3 dB(A) from tire–pavement noise compared with transverse tining. Recent investigations show that EACP can reduce tire–pavement noise by an additional 5 dB(A) compared with transverse tining. In this study, the tire–pavement interaction noise of EACP is compared with that of conventional pavements such as asphalt pavement, next-generation concrete surfaces (NGCS), and transverse tining. METHODS : EACP is constructed at two field sites on the SOC research center and Yeo-Ju test road to compare the noise level via close proximity noise measurement. In addition, the noise is measured using two vehicle type based on vehicle speeds of 60, 80, and 100 km/h. RESULTS : The results of noise measurement obtained from the SOC research center are as follows: Porous asphalt pavement 92.8 dB(A), HMA 96. dB(A), transverse tining 100.1 dB(A), and 8 mm EACP 97 dB(A) at a driving speed of 80 km/h. For the case of the Yeo-Ju test road. The noise levels at a driving speed of 80 km/h are as follows: 6 mm EACP, 93.6 dB(A); asphalt grooving pavement, 94.72 dB(A); 8 mm EACP, 95.2 dB(A); NGCS, 95.2 dB(A); transverse tining, 104.1 dB(A). CONCLUSIONS : The result of noise measurement of two sites in the SOC research center and test road shows that the noise level of the 6 mm EAC is lower than that of concrete pavement, such as tining and NGCS, and similar to that of asphalt pavement. In addition, the noise level of the 8 mm EAC is similar to that of the NGCS pavement. The noise reduction effect of the EAC is greater when small-sized coarse aggregates with lower flat and elongation ratios are used.
