Objectives: Korean regression models for spirometric reference values are different from those of other ethnic groups. The purpose of this study was to evaluate discordance in spirometric interpretations based on using Korean reference equations versus non-Korean reference equations. Methods: Spirometry was performed on 825 Korean male workers from April 2009 to November 2011. The spirometric patterns and disease severity were evaluated using two Korean equations (Choi’s and Lee’s) and three equations for Caucasians (NHANES III, Morris’s, and Knudson’s), and the results of Choi’s equation were compared with the non-Korean equations. The spirometric patterns were defined as normal, restrictive, and mild and moderate obstructive. Results: The mean differences in the FEV1% and FVC% between the two Korean equations were 2.0 ± 1.3% and 3.5 ± 2.2%, respectively. Morris’s equation had the greatest difference in the FEV1% from Choi’s equation: 32.9 ± 8.5%. Knudson’s equation had the greatest difference in the FVC% from Choi’s equation: 10.5 ± 6.5%. Conclusions: The two Korean equations shared similar characteristics of spirometric interpretation. The spirometric interpretations of Choi’s equation were significantly different from those of Morris’s equation and Knudson’s equation.

The fungal sinusitis is relatively rare and mainly develops in immunocompromised hosts, but is sporadically appears in the immunocompetent patients, where its incidence tends to be increasing. Because the clinical features of this disease are similar to those of chronic suppurative sinusitis, this entity may be overlooked. We analysed thirteen fungal sinusitis from January 1997 through December 1999 based on clinical features, laboratory characteristics and operative findings. The results are as follows. 1)Fungal sinusitis occurred 3.3 times as frequently in female patients as in male patients and the peak age groups are 4th and 5th decades. 2) The time intervals between the onset of symptoms and the first hospital visit were as follows: 5 cases within 3 months, 1 case between 4 and 6 months, 3 cases between 7 and 12 months, and 4 cases over 1 year. 3) The chief complaints were nasal obstruction, postnasal drip, rhinorrhea, cheek pain, headache, ocular pain, sneezing. 4) The characteristic computerized tomographic findings were hyperattenuated lesions in the maxillary sinus and in the nasal cavity near the natural ostium. 5) The most common pathogen was Aspergillus(92.3%) 6) We performed Caldwell-Luc's operation only in 4 cases, Caldwell-Luc's operation with intranasal ethmoidectomy in 3 cases, Caldwell-Luc's operation with endoscopic sinus surgery in 3 cases and endoscopic sinus sugery only in 3 cases. 7) Most of the gross specimens revealed a fungus ball containing a black-brown necrotic debris or caseous material.

It has been reported several viral diseases in soybean. The occurrence of Bean common mosaic virus and Peanut stunt virus are able to induce severe problem because the main breeding target for viral disease was focused on Soybean mosaic virus. BCMV is a spcies of the genus Potyvirus of the family Potyviridae. BCMV reduces yield by as much as 80% and also adversely affects seed quality in common bean. BCMV has a worldwide distribution because of its high rates 35% of transmission via seeds produced by plants systemically infected prior to bloom. PSV is a species of the genus Cucumovirus of the family Bromoviridae. PSV has been reported to be economically damaging on beans worldwide. Although the virus is reportedly seed transmissible at very low rates, infected plants rarely produce pods with normal viable seeds. The most satisfactory management method of viral diseases such as BCMV and PSV is the use of resistant cultivars and healthy seed. For the overcome of genetic resistance by new virus such as BCMV and PSV, virus diseases monitoring and researches need to study deeply and continually. In this study, we conducted the resistance screen on BCMV and PSV for selection of resistance cultivars. We inoculated on 128 cultivars with PSV and BCMV respectively. These cultivars were classified through pathogenic response such as resistance, necrosis and susceptibility. In addition, 99 and 66 resistant cultivars were confirmed against PSV and BCMV respectively.

Gas hold-ups, bubble frequency and bubble size distribution in a bubble column reactor were evaluated experimentally in CMC solutions (<1.0%) with the two-phase flow signal processor. Gas hold-ups were able to be described by the function of the superficial gas velocity, which was represented with Φ=aU_G^b where a=0.018 and b=0.764. Bubble frequency was increased with superficial gas velocity, but this phenomenon was reduced drastically in the higher concentrations of CMC by the results of bubble coalescence (slug flow). Bubble size distribution was corresponded quite well with the logarithmic normal distribution model.

Temperature of 618 and 1250℃ at As and Ga sities respectively in the horizontal Bridgman furnace and growht speed of 0.7cm/h were found to be optimal for the production of single crystalline GaAs. Self-seeded and unintentionally doped GaAs crystals showd n-type characteristics with Hall mobillity of ∼0.75㎡/V-sec and carrier density of ∼10^19 m^-3 when the mesurements were made right after the growth. About three month later it was found that the same samples were converted to p-type GaAs. The analysis on the p-type sample showed that impurity scattering is dominant at around room temperature and thus the measured Hall mobility was 0.0065㎡/V-sec at 300K. 7.4±0.6 eV was obtained for acoustic deformation potential in the heavy hole band by fitting the theoretical conductivity and Hall coefficient to the corresponding experimental data. The value is very much higher than the theoretically estimated value, 3.6eV. The carrier density variation with temperature obtained from the present analysis gave 0.38 and 0.17 eV respectively for the activation energies of donor and acceptor.

Asbestosis is the disease of pulmonary fibrosis caused by the inhaled asbestos fibers, and could be diagnosed clinically, in the case of exposure history to asbestos is proved, by clinical symptoms of dyspnea or dry cough, physical examonation findings, and the radiographic features. But many othder inorganic dusts would show similar findings in the chest radiogram and sometimes the exposure history is obscure, so for the exact diagnosis of asbestosis lung biopsy is needed. In Korea, there have been some reports of survey in the workplace where asbestos is handled or of asbestos related diseases. This is a case report of asbestosis with accompanying pleural plaques, who had the occupational exposure to asbestos for 30 years and the consistent clinical, radiographic and pathological findings in the lung tissue obtained by the videoscope assisted thoracoscopic biopsy(VATS).

요약문사출성형법으로 평가를 위해 ZnO 함량을 변화시키면서 4종류의 Zinc Titanate 흡수제를 제조하였다. Zn/Ti 몰비가 증가할수록 지배적인 결정상은 Zn 2Ti3O8과 Zn2TiO4로 관찰되었다. Zinc Titanate 탈황제에 의한 H2S 흡수반응을 모사석탄가스의 고온탈황에 의해서 실험적으로 연구하였다. 내경 3cm인 석영관의 고정상 반응기로 4종류의 Zin cTitanate 흡수제에 대하여 H2S 흡수와 재생의 10-cycle 실험을 수행하였다. 파과곡선, SEM, BET 등의 실험적인 관찰을 근거로 하여 650℃가 최적 흡수반응온도임을 결정하였다. 탈황과 재생의 반복적인 실험동안 H2S와 S02의 파과곡선들을 구하였다. 또한, 시험 전후의 흡수제의 물성변화를 SEM, EDX, Hg-porosimetry 및 BET 방법으로 분석하였다. 비록 더많은 연구가 필요하지만, 제한된 실험적 조건에서 판단하면 YZT-3(Zn/Ti=1.5)가 가장 우수한 탈황제라고 결론내릴 수 있다.AbstractFour zinc titanate sorbents were prepared for evaluation by extrusion method with varying ZnO contents. The predominant crystalline phases were Zn2Ti3O3 and Zn2TiO4 as Zn/Ti molar ratio was increased. Absorption of HzS by the zinc titanate sorbents was studied experimentally in high temperature desulfurization of simulated coal gas. Fixed-bed system of 3 cm i. d. quartz tube was used to carry out 10-cycle experiments of H2S absorption and regeneration for the zinc titanate sorbents. In these experiments the optimal absorption temperature was determined as 650 ℃ based on experimental observation of breakthrough curves, SEM and BET results, and so on. H2S and SO; breakthrough curves were obtained for each sorbent during repetitive cycles of desulfurization and regeneration. Also, property changes of the sorbent before and after testing were analyzed using SEM, EDX, XRD, Hg-porosimeter and BET method. It is concluded under this limited experimental conditions YZT-3 (Zn/Ti =1.5) was the most suitable desulfurization sorbent even though further tests are required.

This paper presents a new method for recognizing low quality dot-printed numerals extracted from the credit card sales slips. These slip images include various kinds of noisy characters such as noise added or broken characters. For the reliable recognition of these numerals we set the dynamic mesh on the numeral image, and then extracted the horizontal, vertical and diagonal histogram profiles as the character features. Nearest neighbor and neural network classifiers are used together sequentially for the feature classification. We have tested the proposed method with many numeral patterns collected from the real sales slip images, and obtained the reliable recognition results.
