This study was conducted to produce effectively more leaves of Angelica acutiloba through year-round production system by using various mulching materials and polyethylene(PE) tunnel. Soil temperature by covering treatment was higher in PE mulching and PE tunnel than in rice straw mulching, especially showing the highest temperature in PE tunnel from April through May. Water content of soil was higher in PE mulching than in non-mulching. Leaf production of Angelica acutiloba through year-round production showed the highest in PE tunnel and root production in PE mulching. These results suggest that leaf production of Angelica acutiloba can be maximized through PE tunnel cultivation system.

This study was conducted to develop effective production system in greenhouse for leaves and stems of Angelica acutiloba by using connect pots in 2003 and 2004. Seed germination rate and plant biomass of Angelica acutiloba collected in 2004 were higher than those harvested in 2003. Germination rate of Angelica acutiloba seeds collected in 2003 was 10%, while germination rate of seeds collected in 2004 was above 90%. Especially, plant growth and yield of Angelica acutiloba grown in connect pots sized with 4×4×5cm(length×width×height) were the highest. These results indicate that leaf and stem production of Angelica acutiloba can be improved by using connect pots and optimizing seed collecting time in greenhouse.

Choi,Seong-kyu,Yun,Kyeong-Won,Chon,Sang-Uk,Seo,Young-nam 한국자원식물학회 2002 Plant Resources Vol.5 No.1

To develop an optimal storage method of root of Angelica acutiloba Radix, which has been grown as major herbal medicine material to be cultivated, root of Angelica acutiloba Radix, was stored for 10 months with different packing materials and sealing methods. The loss in dry weight as influenced by packing materials and sealing methods was the lowest at vacuum packing and followed by complete sealing methods with transparent polyethylene film. The ratio of root rot during the storage period was not significantly different between packing materials but was significantly different between sealing conditions. In conclusion, vacuum packing and complete sealing with polyethylene film appears to be most optimal for storage of Angelica acutiloba Radix.

본 연구에서는 부분 식생된 개수로에서 평균흐름 및 난류구조에 관한 수치모의 결과를 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 식생항력항이 포함된 레이놀즈 평균 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 수치해석 하였고 난류 모형으로 비선형 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형을 이용하였다. 제시된 모형을 Nezu and Onitsuka (2001)의 실험수로에 적용하여 모의된 결과를 실험 계측자료 및 Kang and Choi (2006)의 Reynolds stress model 모의결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과와 비교한 결과에 따르면, 비선형 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형이 평균흐름의 대체적인 경향을 잘 모의하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 식생 영역과 비식생 영역의 경계면에서 쌍와 (twin vortices)가 생성되고 난류강도와 레이놀즈 응력의 최대점이 위치하는 것을 확인하였다. 레이놀즈 응력에 대해서는 경향은 잘 모의하지만 정량적으로 과소 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. This study presents a numerical modeling of mean flow and turbulence structures of partly-vegetated open-channel flows. For this, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with vegetation drag terms are solved numerically using the non-linear k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The numerical model is applied to laboratory experiments of Nezu and Onitsuka (2001), and simulated results are compared with data from measurement and computations by Kang and Choi's (2006) Reynolds stress model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed numerical model simulates the mean flow well. Twin vortices are found to be generated at the interface between vegetated and non-vegetated zones, where turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress show their maximums. The model simulates the pattern of the Reynolds stress well but under-predicts the intensity of Reynolds stress slightly.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) in patients with oral cavity cancer. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients with oral cavity cancer treated with HDR remote-control afterloading brachytherapy using 192Ir between 2001 and 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Brachytherapy was administered in 11 patients as the primary treatment and in five patients as salvage treatment for recurrence after the initial surgery. In 12 patients, external beam radiotherapy (50–55 Gy/25 fractions) was combined with IBT of 21 Gy/7 fractions. In addition, IBT was administered as the sole treatment in three patients with a total dose of 50 Gy/10 fractions and as postoperative adjuvant treatment in one patient with a total of 35 Gy/7 fractions. Results: The 5-year overall survival of the entire group was 70%. The actuarial local control rate after 3 years was 84%. All five recurrent cases after initial surgery were successfully salvaged using IBT ± external beam radiotherapy. Two patients developed local recurrence at 3 and 5 months, respectively, after IBT. The acute complications were acceptable (≤grade 2). Three patients developed major late complications, such as radio-osteonecrosis, in which one patient was treated by conservative therapy and two required surgical intervention. Conclusion: HDR IBT for oral cavity cancer was effective and acceptable in diverse clinical settings, such as in the cases of primary or salvage treatment.

Prediction of local scour around bridge piers using the ANFIS method

Choi, Sung-Uk,Choi, Byungwoong,Lee, Seonmin SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL 2017 NEURAL COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS Vol. No.

<P>Local scour around bridge piers is a complicated physical process and involves highly three-dimensional flows. Thus, the scour depth, which is directly related to the safety of a bridge, cannot be given in the form of the exact relationship of dependent variables via an analytical method. This paper proposes the use of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) method for predicting the scour depth around a bridge pier. Five variables including mean velocity, flow depth, size of sediment particles, critical velocity for particles' initiation of motion, and pier width were used for the scour depth. For comparison, predictions by the artificial neural network (ANN) model were also provided. Both the ANN model and ANFIS method were trained and validated. The findings indicate that the modeling with dimensional variables yields better predictions than when normalized variables are used. The ANN model was applied to a field-scale dataset. Prediction results indicated that the errors are much larger compared to the case of a laboratory-scale dataset. The MAPE by the ANN model trained with part of the field data was not seriously different from that by the model trained with the laboratory data. However, the application of the ANFIS method improved the predictions significantly, reducing the MAPE to the half of that by the ANN model. Five selected empirical formulas were also applied to the same dataset, and Sheppard and Melville's formula was found to provide the best prediction. However, the MAPEs for the scour depths predicted by empirical formulas are much larger than MAPEs by either the ANN or the ANFIS method. The ANFIS method predicts much better if the range of the training dataset is sufficiently wide to cover the range of the application dataset.</P>

Clinical Effects of Korean Ginseng, Korean Red Ginseng, Chinese Ginseng, and American Ginseng on Blood Pressure in Mild Hypertensive Subjects

Choi, Dong-Jun,Cho, Ki-Ho,Jung, Woo-Sang,Park, Seong-Uk,Han, Chang-Ho,Lee, Won-Chul 경희대학교 동서의학연구소 2006 東西醫學硏究所 論文集 Vol.2006 No.-

Background : Ginseng has traditionally been used in oriental countries to recover vital, energy from Qi deficiency, and has shown various biomedical effects in the scientific literature. Recent reports suggest that ginseng could regulate blood pressure (BP), but much controversy still remains. Therefore, we intended to assess the anti-hypertensive effect of several, ginseng types frequently used in clinics. We also investigated the anti-hypertensive effect on Koreans, and Chinese, and by the body type according to Sasang Constitution Medicine (SCM). Methods : The study subjects were recruited from mildly hypertensive patients who exhibited pre-hypertension (120/80 to 139/89 mmHg) and stage I hypertension (140/90 to 159/99 mmHg) in Korea and China. After assigning the subjects into a Korean, a Chinese, a red, and an American ginseng group by randomization, we prescribed ginseng at a dose of 4.5 g per day for 4 weeks. To assess the anti-hypertensive effect, we compared the mean of systolic and diastolic BP between before and after ginseng medication using a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (24 hr ABPM). We also monitored adverse effect and laboratory findings to secure the subjects' safety. In addition, all of the subjects in Korea consulted a specialist of Sasang Constitution Medicine to identify their constitutional type. Results : There were 64 subjects treated with Korean ginseng, 58 treated with Chinese ginseng 33 treated with red ginseng, and 64 treated with American ginseng Korean, Chinese, and American ginseng all reduced subjects' BP, Korean and Chinese ginseng showed more effect. The secondary analysis on the subjects' nationality revealed that all of the ginseng types showed more significant anti-hypertensive effect in Chinese patients than in Koreans. The third analysis on the constitutional type of SCM showed there was no significant difference in the effectiveness and the safety of ginseng among the constitutional types. Conclusions : We suggest ginseng, especially Panax ginseng without any steaming-drying process, could be useful for mild hypertension. Further, ginseng is safe regardless of subjects' constitutional type or type of ginseng Within a dosage Of 4.5 g per day.
