Yu-Min Huang-Link,Mats Fredrikson,Hans Link 대한신경과학회 2015 Journal of Clinical Neurology Vol.11 No.3

Background and Purpose It is exceedingly difcult to diferentiate benign multiple sclerosis (BMS) from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) based on clinical characteristics, neuroimaging, and cerebrospinal fuid tests. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows quantifcation of retinal structures, such as the retinal nerve fber layer (RNFL) thickness, at the optic disc and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) at the macula, on a micrometer scale. It can also be used to trace minor alterations and the progression of neurodegeneration, help predict BMS, and infuence the choice of therapy. To utilize OCT to detect the extent of changes of the optic disk and macular microstructure in patients with BMS and RRMS compared to healthy controls (HCs), with special focus on changes related to the presence/absence of optic neuritis (ON). Methods Spectral-domain OCT was applied to examine eyes from 36 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), comprising 11 with BMS and 25 with RRMS, and 34 HCs. Results Te RNFL and GCL were signifcantly thinner in eyes previously afected by ON, irrespective of the type of MS (i.e., BMS or RRMS), than in HCs. Signifcant thinning of the GCL was also observed in non-ON RRMS (and not non-ON BMS) compared to HCs. Correspondingly, a signifcant association between disease duration and thinning rates of the RNFL and GCL was observed only in non-ON RRMS (-0.54±0.24 and -0.43±0.21 μm/year, mean± SE; p<0.05 for both), and not in non-ON BMS (-0.11±0.27 and -0.24±0.24 μm/year). Conclusions Te RNFL and GCL were thinner in both ON- and non-ON MS, but the change was more pronounced in ON MS, irrespective of the MS subtype studied herein. GCL thinning and the thinning rate of both the GCL and RNFL were less pronounced in non-ON BMS than in non-ON RRMS. Tese fndings may help to predict the course of BMS.

This treatise looked upon the structure, subject, and typicality of the linked Si-Jos having the tpye of the symmetrical expression in <Banjinsangunsuga>, using the method of the internal deviation and the tertiary deviation. The typicality follow as; First typicality is the fact that each unit(or Si-Jo) in the work composite the symmetrical expressions and the deviant expressions which have the symmetrical axis in the central unit(or one Si-Jo) or other unit(or Si-Jo). Second typicality is the fact that the symmetrical expressions and the deviant expressions hint the structure in the work, because the symmetrical expressions and the deviant expressions converge three point(the symmetrical axis, first unit(or Si-Jo), last unit(or Si-Jo). Third typicality is the fact that we discover the structure of the introduction-main discourse-conclusion or the structure of the introduction-development-turn-conclusion in the linked Si-Jos having the tpye of the symmetrical expression in <Banjinsangunsuga>. Fourth typicality is the fact that the divison(initial part, middle part, final part) of the work by the symmetrical expressions and the deviant expressions correspond with the structure of the introduction-main discourse-conclusion or the structure of the introduction-development-turn-conclusion.

Elevated production of NH₄NO₃ from the photochemical processing of vehicle exhaust: Implications for air quality in the Seoul Metropolitan Region

Link, Michael F.,Kim, Jounghwa,Park, Gyutae,Lee, Taehyoung,Park, Taehyun,Babar, Zaeem Bin,Sung, Kijae,Kim, Pilho,Kang, Seokwon,Kim, Jeong Soo,Choi, Yongjoo,Son, Jihawn,Lim, Ho-Jin,Farmer, Delphine K. Elsevier 2017 Atmospheric environment Vol.156 No.-

<P>A vehicle fleet representative of passenger vehicles driven in the Seoul Metropolitan Region was investigated for primary emissions and secondary chemistry. Exhaust was photochemically oxidized in a flow reactor to determine the ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) aerosol formation potential from vehicles of gasoline, diesel and liquid petroleum gasoline (LPG) fuel types. Secondary formation of aerosol NH4NO3, was larger than primary emissions for all vehicle fuel types except diesel, for which negligible secondary NH4NO3 production was observed. Although diesel vehicles emitted more primary nitrogen oxides than other vehicle types, ammonia emitted from gasoline and liquid petroleum gasoline fuels types limited the secondary production of NH4NO3. The results suggest that gasoline and liquid petroleum gasoline vehicles with three-way catalysts could be an important source of ammonia for NH4NO3 aerosol formation in ammonia-limited environments, including the Seoul Metropolitan Region.

Establishing Greener Products and Manufacturing Processes

Linke, Barbara,Huang, Yu-Chu,Dornfeld, David 한국정밀공학회 2012 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.13 No.7

Today producers are becoming more responsible for their products, not only because of legal requirements but also to gain a competitive edge, as consumers are increasingly considering the broader impacts of their purchases. As a result, companies are beginning to address the ecological impacts of products and manufacturing processes in addition to the economic considerations. The environmental impact of products can be reduced during manufacturing, e.g. by greener processes, greener process chain, or leveraging manufacturing. This paper reviews actual research on greening products and production at the University of California, Berkeley and lays the foundation for future research directions. The present research includes approaches to enhance Life Cycle Assessment Methods, understand the life cycle of different products, improve manufacturing processes and revise supply chain decisions. Leveraging manufacturing implies higher environmental burden in the production phase can be offset with much larger eco-efficiency in the product use phase. The described approaches present ongoing work and will support sustainable production practices.
