  • The laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) became popular over the last 10 years. The advantage of LS over open splenectomy (OS) includes short hospital stay, improved cosmesis, less development of postoperative intestinal ileus, and less analgesics required. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of LS at Asan Medical Center from January 1999 to January 2003. The records of 14 consequent children who underwent splenectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Patients characteristics, morbidity, mortality, operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay were analyzed., Seven patients age 5 to 15 years underwent LS under the indications: idiopathic thrombocytic purpura (ITP, n=3), hereditary spherocytosis (n=3), and myelodysplastic syndrome (n=l). Seven patients, age 7 to 16 years, underwent OS during the same period for ITP (n=7). Median operative time was 120 mInutes (80 to 170 mins.) in OS, and 270 minutes (110 to 480 mins,) in LS (p<0.05). Median length of hospital stay was 6 days (3 to 8) in OS, and 4 days (3 to 6) in LS (p>0.05). Median splenic length was 12.0cm (9.2 to 18.0) in OS, 14.0 cm (10.0 to 19.5) (p>0.05). Accessory spleens were identified in 3 of 7 LS and 1 of 7 OS cases. In the LS group, there was no conversion to open surgery. Two patients in LS required blood transfusion postoperatively. LS in children can be performed as effectively and safely as OS.

  • The hydrolysis of fungicidal N-[1-(benzotriazol-1-yl)benzyl]aniline (BBA) molecule in the presence of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) and anionic sodium laurylsulfate (NaLs) micellar solutions has been studied kinetically. The Micellar catalysis effect shows that the rate is slightly accelerated by the addition of the anionic NaLs at high pH and the binding constant (Ks) is $1.45{\times}10^4M^{-1}$. This result presumably is due to the electrostatic stabilization by the anionic micelle of the developing carbocation in the transition state rather than the hydrophobic character (${\pi}$: 4.93) of (BBA).

  • Objective: Leucaena leucocephala (Leucaena) is a perennial tropical legume that can be directly grazed or harvested and offered to ruminants as hay, silage, or fresh. However, Leucaena contain phenolic compounds, which are considered anti-nutritional factors as these may reduce intake, digestibility and thus animal performance. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to determine effects of Leucaena silage (LS) feeding levels on rumen microbial populations, N-balance and microbial protein synthesis in dairy steers. Methods: Four, rumen fistulated dairy steers with initial weight of $167{\pm}12kg$ were randomly assigned to receive dietary treatments according to a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Treatments were as followings: T1 = untreated rice straw (RS; Control), T2 = 70% RS+30% LS, T3 = 40% RS+60% LS, and T4 = 100% LS. Dairy steers were fed rice straw and LS ad libitum and supplemented with concentrate at 0.2% of body weight/d. Results: Results revealed that the rumen microbial population, especially cellulolytic, proteolytic bacteria and fungal zoospores were enhanced in steers that received 60% of LS (p<0.05), whereas the amylolytic bacteria population was not affected by treatments (p>0.05). Protozoal population was linearly decreased with increasing level of LS (p<0.05). Moreover, N-balance and microbial protein synthesis were enhanced by LS feeding (p<0.05) and were the highest in 60% LS group. Conclusion: Based on this study, it could be concluded that replacement of RS with 60% LS significantly improved microbial population and microbial protein synthesis in diary steers.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effect of new foot-bath facility and detergent solution (sodium molylbdenate, citrate, potassium nitrate, tataric acid, sodium hypo-cholorite, and zinc sulfate) on claw health in lactating dairy cows. Minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of copper sulphate were 0.31% for E. coli and Bacillus isolated from cows claw. The MIC and MBC of new detergent for E. coli were 1.25% and 5%, respectively, however their respectively values for Bacillus were noticed 0.63% and 2.5%. Both 5E. coli and Bacillus populations in petri-dishes were significantly reduced (more than 95%) with the application of new detergent solution (5% or 16%). Locomotion score (LS 1-5; very good to severely bad) of lactating cows were significantly improved with in 30 days with the use of new detergent solution in foot bath. The LS2 (n=16), LS3 (n=16), and LS4 (n=7) were shown 100%, 43.8%, and 14.3% recovery rate within 30 days with the use of new detergent solution. However, LS5 (n=2) were not recovered to normal claw health and locomotion score within 30 days of new detergent application. Usage of new detergent solution for 60 days in a foot bath have shown 81.3%, 71.4% and 50.0% recovery rate in cows with LS3, LS4 and LS5, respectively. Abnormal claw incidence was reduced from 18.8% to 1.5% in overall herd (n=80) with the use of new detergent solution (16%) in a foot bath for 90 days. In conclusion, usage of 16% of our detergent solution for 60 days in a foot bath can significantly improve the cow claw health and thus mitigate the negative effects of abnormal claw on productivity of cows and dairy farm income.

  • A new code: LS code was proposed for IMT-2000 CDMA system. The code has special properties during a certain time of interval: 1) perfect autocorrelation 2) perfect crosscorrelation. The perfect autocorrelation means that the autocorrelation has nMaximum for zero time-offset and zero for other times during a certain time. Moreover the perfect crosscorrelation means that the crosscorrelation has zero during a time of interest. In the LAS-DMA system, the LS code is only used in the spreading of data bits in contrast to the conventional CDMA system. Therefore the LS code pair setting and allocation order should be dealt with carefully considering the special properties of LS code. This paper is intended as an investigation of the setting LS code pair and the sequential allocation method. Firstly, the optimum LS code pair set is proposed in order to minimize PAPR. Secondly, the sequential allocation method is studied to either minimize PAPR or expand IFW.

  • The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)-based modeling systems have been widely used to simulate soil erosion studies. However the GIS-based USLE modeling systems have limitation in gully erosion evaluation which is one of the most important factor in soil erosion estimation. In this study, the integrated soil erosion evaluation system using with Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) system, nLS and Unit Stream Power-based Erosion/Deposition (USPED) model was developed to simulate gully erosion. Gully head location using nLS model, USPED for gully erosion, and the SATEEC estimated sheet and rill erosion were evaluated and combined together with the integrated soil erosion evaluation system. This system was applied to the Haean-myeon watershed, annual average sediment-yield considering sheet, rill and gully erosion was simulated as 101,933 ton/year at the study watershed. if the integrated soil erosion evaluation system is calibrated and validated with the measured data, this system could be efficiently used in developing site-specific soil erosion best management system to reduce soil erosion and muddy water inflow into the receiving waterbody.

  • 기상변화와 지구온난화로 인해 국지성 호우의 강도와 빈도가 늘어나고 있으며 이로 인해 소양강, 도암댐, 임하댐 유역의 탁수 문제 등, 토양 유실에 관한 문제가 심각해지고 있다. 정확한 토양 유실 모의를 위하여 지난 수 십 년간 Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) 등의 모형이 사용되었지만 이러한 모형들에 관한 연구 중 강한 집중 호우에 의해 발생하는 걸리 침식(Gully Erosion)을 적용한 경우는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 및 유사량 산정을 위하여 입력자료가 간단하고 ArcView GIS를 기반으로 융합이 가능한 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) system, nLS, Unit Stream Power-based Erosion/Deposition (USPED) 연계 모형을 개발하여 강원도 양구군 해안면 유역에 적용하였다. 기존 SATEEC system에서는 강우 시 유역에서 발생하는 면상 침식(Sheet Erosion), 세류 침식(Rill Erosion)의 모의만이 가능하였지만, 본 연구에서 개발한 연계모형에서는 nLS 모형을 이용한 걸리 헤드 발생 지역 선정과 USPED 모형을 이용한 걸리 발생 지역에서의 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하기 때문에, 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하다. 연계 모형의 모의 결과 해안면 유역의 최종 유출구에서 발생하는 평균 유사량은 101,933 ton/year 로 산정 되었다. 토양 유실량과 유사량을 모의함에 있어, 면상, 세류, 걸리 침식을 종합적으로 고려해야 실제 지형에서 발생하는 토양 유실량 및 유사량을 좀 더 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것이며, 본 연구에서 개발된 연계 모형을 이용한다면 실제 유역에서 발생하는 여러 형태의 토양 유실을 모의 할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

  • This paper proposes a new QRD-LS adaptive algorithm with computational complexity of O(N). The main idea of proposed algorithm(D-QR-RLS) is based on the fact that the computation for the unit vector of is made from the process during Givens Rotation. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated through computer simulation of FIR system identification problem. As verified by simulation results, this algorithm exhibits a good performance. And, we can see the proposed algorithm converges to optimal coefficient vector theoretically.
