The series of forest Fires in Kangwon Province in April, 2000, were one of the mast serious ones in the Kang-won Province in recent years. The fire damaged areas are extensive and this paper investigates the utility of the satellite image data, particularly the RADARSAT SAR data. One of the main objectives of this study included evaluation of potential usefulness of the C-band RADARSAT data in the detection of forest fires in mountainous areas. Among several fire damaged sites, the area near Samchuk (city) was selected as the main study area and mufti-temporal RADARSAT(raw) data were acquired and the processed results were comparatively investigated with the IRS-1c data acquired shortly after the fire. To identify the burnt area from the undamaged background in the optical imagery, supervised classification and NDVI processing were carried out and tested with the IRS-1C data. For this experiment, several sets of raw RADARSAT standard and Fine mode (S4, F3, ascending orbit) data were processed and the final image was formed. In addition to the final image, sigma nought (σ°) was catnputed and compared for the burnt area against the undamaged areas. Because of the steep slopes in the study area and subsequent deviation from the flat surface scattering models, the fire scars in the sigma nought (σ°) image were not apparent. However, fire scars are slightly detected in the difference and ratio images obtained from the signal intensity data acquired at different dates (bath before and after fire). Texture analysis of the image data including the burnt areas were carried out using the Multiplicative Markov Random-Field (MMRF) algorithm. The detection of the fire damaged area from both standard mode and fine mode RADARSAT was not as straightforward as in optical data. However, Previous studies with ERS-1 S_AR and RADARSAT data in Indonesia and in the North American Plains indicate that C-band SAR data provide us with an effective tool for studying the forest fire damages. However, the application of C-band SAR data to the analysis of the forest fire areas requires careful processing of the data with realistic scattering models.

Methods: We collated and reviewed previously conducted review studies on border closures during infectious disease outbreaks to derive relevant themes and factors. Results: According to our systematic review on border closures and travel restrictions, the effects of such containment efforts are limited. We suggest considering the following factors when determining whether to impose border closure measures: (1) disease characteristics, (2) timeliness of implementation, (3) transmission delay and the basic reproduction number, (4) globalization and pandemics, and (5) social and economic costs. Conclusions: Our assessment indicates that the effects of border closures are at best temporary and limited. Alternative measures must be contemplated and implemented to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in particular and infectious diseases more broadly.

In 2007, the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases recommended an immunization schedule for adults residing in Korea. This recommendation includes four categories: standard immunization for healthy persons, supplementary immunization for persons with underlying illnesses, recommendations for health-care personnel and for international travelers. The Standard Immunization Schedule consists of universal vaccination (tetanus-diphtheria/tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Td/Tdap); hepatitis A vaccine for persons aged 20s; human papilloma virus vaccine for women under 26 years old; meningococcal vaccine for military recruits and college students in dormitories; influenza vaccination for persons aged 50 years or more and pregnant women; and pneumococcal vaccination for persons aged 65 years or more) and catch-up vaccination (hepatitis A vaccine for persons aged 30s; hepatitis B vaccine, varicella and MMR vaccines for persons who have uncertain specific immunities). The Supplementary Immunization Schedule recommends 4 vaccines, i.e., pneumococcal, influenza, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenzae type b, appropriate to the underlying illnesses, and confirmation of the presence of antibodies to hepatitis A and hepatitis B. The Recommendation for Health-Care Personnel includes universal vaccination (influenza and pertussis) and catch-up vaccination (hepatitis B, measles-mumps-rubella and varicella for seronegative health-care personnel). The Recommended Immunization for International Travelers focuses reinforcement of vaccinations for healthy persons and includes certain immunizations necessary for international travel (yellow fever, meningococcal, plaque, tick-borne encephalitis, and cholera).

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of myocardial injuries in patients with nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage by identifying the occurrence of myocardial injury and defining its correlation with subsequent cardiovascular events. Subjects and methods: One hundred twenty-four patients with nontraumatic intracraninal hemorrhage presented to the emergency department within six hours from onset of symptoms were enrolled. Brain CT, serial electrocardiography, and echocardiography were done at the emergency center. Blood samples for troponin I and creatine kinase(CK)-MB were drawn immediately and eight hours after admission, Troponin I and CK-MB were measured using a chemiluminescent immunoassay, respectively. Results: Electrocardiographic and echocardiography abnormalities were found in 65 cases(52.4%) and 21 cases(17%), respectively. Serum troponin I and creative kinase-MB were increased in 35 cases (28.2%) and in 58 cases(46.8%), respectively. Abnormal findings of echocardiography and ECG, as well as elevated levels of serum troponin I and creative kinase-MB, were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular event and survival. Logistic regression analysis revealed that an abnormal echcocardiographic finding and elevation of serum troponin I were factors associated with the occurrence an adverse cardiovascular event and that electrocardiographic abnormalities and initial mental status were factors associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion: This study reveals that actual myocardial injury develops in a significant proportion of patients with nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and that the development of the myocardial injury is associated with an adverse cardiovascular event that occurs during admission.

적응 Simplex-Mesh 기술에 기반한 3차원 물체 복원과 자료압축

문성환,강훈,조용군 중앙대학교 생산공학연구소 1999 생산공학연구소 논문집 Vol.8 No.1

대부분의 3차원 물체 복원 기술은 물체를 다수의 평면으로 나누어 물체의 표면을 근사시켜 표현한다. 주어진 분류치를 사용하여 mesh를 초기화시키는 Marching Cubes 알고리듬과 Delaunay Tetrahedrisation이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이와 더불어 deformable 모델은 적은 수의 가정만으로도 다양한 종류의 데이터들에 대한 복원 및 재구성을 할 수 있기 때문에 일반적인 물체 복원에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 곡면으로 이루어진 물체에 대해서 적응 simplex mesh 기술을 기반으로 3차원 물체를 압축 복원하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 미리 정해진 mesh 구조를 변형시키고 곡률과 같은 기하학적인 특성들을 다시 설정하면서 본래의 3차원 물체로 접근시킨다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 높은 압축률로 물체를 복원하고, 물체의 모양을 최적으로 기술하기 위해 정점들이 곡률이 높은 곳으로 집중되는 것을 보인다. Most of the 3D object reconstruction techniques divide the object into multiplane and approximate the surfaces of the object. The Marching Cubes Algorithm which initializes the mesh structure using a given isovalue, and Delaunay Tetrahedrisation are widely used. Deformable models are well-suited for general object reconstruction because they make little assumptions about the shape to recover and they can reconstruct objects from various types of datasets. In this paper, we propose a novel method for reconstruction of 3D objects. This method, for a 3D object composed of curved planes, compresses the 3D object based on the adaptive simplex-mesh technique. It changes the pre-defined mesh structure, so that it may approach to the original object. Also, we redefine the geometric characteristics such as curvatures. As results of simulations, we show reconstruction of the original object with high compression and concentration of vertices towards parts of high curvature in order to optimize the shape description.

Amentoflavone, naturally occurring biflavonid, isolated from the leaves of Ginko biloba, selectively inhibited human seceretory phospholipase A_2. This compound potently and irreversibly inhibited human group IIA in a dose dependent manner with an IC_50, about 3??M. Amentoflavone inhibited phospholipase A_2 by noncompetitive manner, with the apparent Ki value of 1×10^3M. In addition, the inhibitory activity of amentoflavone is rather specific against group IIA phospholipase A_2 than IB phospholipase A_2. Furthermore, this compound strong inhibit histamine release from A_23187 treated rat peritoneal mast cells. These results indicate naturally occurring biflavonid represents a novel anti-inflammatory agent.

Grade 2, 4 티타늄 마이크로 임플랜트의 식립 및 제거 토크와 식립 후 조직학적 반응의 비교

강승택,권오원,성재현,경희문,박효상 대한치과교정학회 2006 대한치과교정학회지 Vol.36 No.3

마이크로 임플랜트는 순티타늄과 티타늄 합금을 사용하고 있다. 순티타늄의 경우 grade가 낮을 수록 생체적합성은 증가하나 기계적 성질이 낮다. 이에 본 연구에서는 순티타늄 grade 2와 grade 4를 재료로 한 마이크로 임플랜트를 각각 토끼의 다리뼈에 식립한 후 2, 8, 12주의 시간경과에 따른 조직학적 소견의 차이와 식립, 제거 시의 최대토크의 측정으로 그 티타늄 종류에 따른 차이를 살펴보았다. 토끼의 경골에 식립한 티타늄의 종류에 따른 식립시 및 시간의 경과에 따른 제거시의 토크를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, grade 2와 grade 4간의 식립 시 최대토크의 차이는 없었다. 둘째, 식립 후 2, 8, 12주 후의 제거 시 최대토크 측정에서 전체 마이크로 임플랜트의 그룹간 차이는 없었다. 셋째, 2주에서 8주로 시간이 경과함에 따라 제거 시 최대토크가 유의하게 증가하였으며 8주와 12주간에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 따라서 유지력은 grade 2 티타늄과 비슷하지만 물리적 성질이 더 단단한 grade 4 티타늄을 마이크로 임플랜트 재료로 사용하는 것이 좋은 것으로 생각된다. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the light microscopic features and the maximum insertional and removal torque value of microimplants, made from titanium grade 2 or 4, in the tibia of 6 rabbits. First, the maximum torque values of microimplants at implantation were measured. After 2, 8, and 12 weeks of healing time, the microimplant-containing segments of tibia of 2 rabbits were removed and the maximum removal torque of each microimplant were measured. Comparisons of histologic examination and insertional and removal torque values were carried out for the two groups of microimplants. Removal torque values were significantly increased in both groups after 8 and 12 weeks as compared to 2 weeks after implantation. Other values measured did not show any statistically significant differences and there were no histological differences between grade 2 and 4 titanium. Based on these results, this study showed that there were no significant differences between grade 2 and 4 titanium. It seems better to use grade 4 titanium for making microimplants because grade 4 titanium is mechanically harder than grade 2 titanium and has similar retention.
