The present study was conducted in three fields at Namhae to examine the removal efficiency of organic free, heavy metal immobilized sediment on Cochlodinium polykrikoidesand on sea water quality. The present study results concluded that removal efficiency was depends on the initial number of red tide cells. There was no drastic change in the sea water quality after sediment spray. For the comparison of effectiveness of betonite, zeolite and lime were mixed with sediment did not show any marked difference in removal. Finally, the present study evaluated 5Og/m² sediment is Sufficient to remove 100% cells density, even though various environmental factors are interfering the mechanism.

Korean Dictionaries and Some Model Dictionaries of the World : Critical Essays toward the Plan for a New Korean Dictionary

Lee, Sang Sup,Nam, Ki Shim,Ahn, Sam Huan,Choi, Young Ai,Hong, Chai Song 연세대학교 언어정보개발원 1988 사전편찬학 연구 Vol.1 No.1

After briefly reviewing the history of lexcoigraphy in modem Korea, Nam Kishim tackles many problems created by the general deficiency of current Korean monolingual dictionaries in phonological morphological and semantic points. For example, most Korean dictionaries do not treat such phonological changes as the shortening of the stem vowel ㅓ in 더운, the prenominal form of the adjective 덥다, whose stem vowel ㅓ is pronounced long. He also takes issue with the practice of Korean dictionaries of including all kinds of proper names on little reliable principles : a typical dictionary enters a 600m-high hill while excluding better-known mountains higher than that. Hong Chai-song concentrates on the often misguiding information on transitive / intransitive verbs in current dictionaries. For example, a representative dictionary designates the verb 뛰다 simply as intransitive. But it is quite often used as an transitive also. In the sentence, 철수는 운동장을 뛰었다, 운동장 is the object of the transitive verb 뛰다. How could the compilers miss such an obvious fact? Hong suggests that they may have not been interested in being grammatically informative. A historical survey of the Oxford English Dictionary(OED) is given by Lee Sang-sup, with special emphasis on the vast amount of quotations from real sources contributed by thousands of volunteer readers through several decades and on its unwavering historical principle. A comparison between the OED's definition of Kimchi and a Korean dictionary's 김치 is given, showing the difference of principle in treating the same lexical item. Ahn Sam-huan presents a detailed account of Grimm's Deutsches Wo¨rterbuch which took generations of German lexicographers 133 years from its inception to its completion in 1971. On the basis of his study, Ahn suggests that future dictionary makers should cooperate as a group on a long-range comprehensive project. A moltivolume dictionary is an all-important cultural event for the whole nation, not to be influenced by private commercial interests. Choi Young-ai's survey of Chinese lexicography highlights the now on-going publication of 漢語字典 and 漢語詞典, admirable results of the cooperative effort of hundreds of Chinese scholars, a modus operandi for the Yonsei University graze to adopt in planning a new dictionary of the Korean language.

Suk-young Lee,Wan Hee Song,Sang Cheul Oh,Byung-Wook Min,Sun Il Lee 대한외과학회 2018 Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research(ASRT) Vol.94 No.1

Purpose: Because data as a basis for the determination of proper age and modality for screening of colorectal neoplasms is lacking, we evaluated detection rates and anatomical distribution of colorectal neoplasms according to age in healthy individuals who underwent total colonoscopy for health checkup. Methods: A total of 16,100 cases that had received the colonoscopic examination from January to December in 2014 were analyzed. The total number of individuals who received total colonoscopy were divided by the number of individuals harboring colorectal adenoma to calculate the detection rate of colorectal adenoma. Individuals ≤50 years old were classified as young-age group and aged >50 were old-age group. Differences in anatomical locations of colorectal neoplasms were analyzed in the 2 age groups by chi-square test. Risk factors for colorectal adenoma in each age group were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: Detection rates of colorectal adenoma were 13.7% in all cases and 12.8% for those in their 40’s. The main anatomical location of colorectal adenoma was proximal colon in both age groups (P < 0.001). Hyperplastic polyp was mainly distributed to the distal colon in both age groups (P < 0.001). Distal colon was the major site for colorectal cancer in the old-age group (P = 0.001). Proximal location of neoplasms was a risk factor for colorectal adenoma in both age groups with multivariate analysis. Conclusion: These data could be the bases for earlier initiation of screening for colorectal neoplasms with total colonoscopy to detect clinically significant colorectal polyps.

Analysis and Evaluation of Capillary Passive Valves in Microfluidic Systems Using a Centrifugal Force

Cho, Han-Sang,Kim, Ho-Young,Kang, Ji-Yoon,Kwak, Seung-Min,Kim, Tae-Song The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers 2004 KIEE International Transactions on Electrophysics Vol.4C No.4

This work reports the theoretical and experimental investigations of capillary bust valves to regulate liquid flow in microchannels. The theoretical analysis uses the Young-Laplace equation and geometrical considerations to predict the pressure at the edge of the valve opening. Numerical simulations are employed to calculate the meniscus shape evolution while the interface is pinned at the valve edge. Microchannels and valves are fabricated using soft lithography. A wafer-rotating system, which can adjust the driving pressure by rotational speed, induces a liquid flow. Experimentally measured valve-bursting pressure agrees with theoretical predictions.

N/A Objectives: Mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene are considered a possible cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of this gene to the development of non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and post-renal transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM). Method: Identification of GCK mutation was attempted on 39 NIDDM patients, 2 GDM patients and 58 selected renal allograft recipients with PTDM and 45 normal controls. The exons in the GCK gene were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by analysis of single-stranded DNA conformational polymorphism (SSCP). The abnormal bands were also confirmed by DNA sequencing analysis. The exons of affected family members were also investigated for mutations of the GCK gene. Results: Two of the 58 PTDM patients (3.4%) were found to have CKK mutations. One had the mutation on exon 5 and the other on intron 7. One control subject had the mutation on intmn 9. The mutation of exon 5 was identified as a substitution of CCT (proline) for CTT (leucine) at codon 164, which has not ever reported before. The family members of the PFDM patient with mutation of exon 5 were analyzed by PCR followed by SSCP, and two of them revealed the same mutation. The abnormal band on the SSCP analysis of exon 7 was identified as the insertion of base C/T at the 39th nucleotide in intron 7. Two family members of this patients also had same band on SSCP. The one mutation of 45 normal controls was CT located at the 8th nucleotide in intron 9, which was a common polymorphism. Conclusion: We found GCK mutations in subjects with PTDM and we speculate that these mutations may be one of the contributing cause of PTDM.

Effects of Natural Zeolite on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Epoxy Composite System

Song, Young Wook,Kim, Sang Wook 서울시립대학교 산업기술연구소 1996 산업기술연구소논문집 Vol.4 No.-

The natural zeolite was introduced to diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA)/hydroquinone-phenyl glycidyl ether (HQ-PGE) system to modify mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy resin as an inorganic filler. In mechanical properties, the tensile strength of a system with 10 phr of natural zeolite decreased about 17 % than that of a system without natural zeolite. Also, the impact strength of a system with the natural zeolite decreased than that of the system without natural zeolite. Both properties decreased with the increment of natural zeolite contents. In case of thermal properties, glass transition temperature(Tg) and decomposition temperature(Td) of the composites system were seldom affected by natural zeolite and its contents.

Background: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria lung disease (NTM-LD) is increasing worldwide. However, there is limited information about the NTM-LD of young age people. Methods: Patients diagnosed with NTM-LD at severance hospital between January 2006 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical characteristics and microbiologic features of patients under 40 years were compared with patients over 40 years. Results: Total 906 patients were identified NTM-LD. Of these, 29 patients (3.2%) were under 40 years of age (young age group) and the remaining 877 were over 40 years of age (old age group). Mean age of the two groups were 32 (IQR 24-33) and 64 (IQR 56-72), respectively. Female was predominant in both groups and about half of the patients had a history of tuberculosis (51.7% vs.51.5%, p=0.984). 7 patients (24.1%) of the young age group had malignancy history and among them, 6 patients were hematologic cancer who subsequently received bone marrow transplantation. The proportion of the nodular bronchiectatic form of NTM-LD is significantly higher in old age group (67.5%) compared to young age group (31.0%) (p=<0.001). M.avium complex (MAC) was the most common etiologic organism in both groups, however, it was less common in the young age group (44.8% vs. 65.3%, p=0.023). Identification of M.abscessus complex (MABC) was higher in young age group although statistically insignificant (24.1% vs. 17.0%, p=0.318). Conclusion: This study could help to better understand the characteristics and microbial features of NTM-LD of young age people.

In this paper, the 1/f noise characteristics of n-channel MOSFET (NMOSFET) and p-channel MOSFET (PMOSFET) are analyzed in depth as a function of body bias. The normalized drain current noise, SID/ID <SUP>2</SUP> showed strong dependence on the body bias in the sub-threshold region for both NMOSFET and PMOSFET, and NMOSFET showed stronger dependence than PMOSFET on the body bias. On the contrary, both of NMOSFET and PMOSFET do not exhibit the dependence of SID/ID <SUP>2</SUP> on body bias in strong inversion region, although the noise mechanisms of two MOSFETs are different from each other.
