Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by the brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in northeastern and southeastern regions at various LSR velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, the CO and CO emission’s pe...

A method for predicting the complex physical properties of fabric using a simple measurement has been developed. For this, correlation analysis was performed between data measured by traditional fabric, KES-FB, and method, CLO Fabric Kit, which showed high correlation. Then, multiple regression drape coefficient KES-FB factors to find factor that had major influence on coefficient. From this re...

KES-2006, the tenth KES International Conference in Knowledge Based and Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems, was held in Bournemouth, England from October 9 to 11 2006. This special issue of the KES Journal comprises the extended version of the six best papers selected by the conference programme committee. The KES International organization is aimed at facilitating and supporting r...

Knee extension strength (KES) improves following body mass-based lower body exercise training; however, it is unknown whether this type of exercise increases handgrip strength (HGS) as a result of a cross-education effect in older individuals. Our aim was to investigate the effect of a body mass-based exercise intervention on HGS and KES in older adults. At baseline, 166 subjects started a 12-w...

In this study, contrast-enhanced X-ray tomographic imaging for monitoring and quantifying respiratory disease in preclinical rodent models is proposed. A K-edge imaging method has been developed at the Canadian Light Source to very accurately obtain measurements of the concentration of iodinated contrast agent in the pulmonary vasculature and inhaled xenon in the airspaces of rats. To compare t...

Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in the northeastern and southeastern regions at various local standard rest (LSR) velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, CO an...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome between Korean emigrants (KEs) and their host country residents in Japan and China. METHODS The Korean Emigrant Study (KES) is a cohort study initiated in 2005 to elucidate the effect of genetic susceptibility and environmental change on hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Equal numbers of KEs and host coun...

This paper conducts a comparison study using KES-FB and PhabrOmeter to measure 58 selected warp knitted fabric hand properties. Fabric samples were selected and measured by both KES-FB and PhabrOmeter. Results show differences between these two measurement methods. Smoothness and stiffness values obtained by KES-FB were found significant correlated (p value = 0.003 and 0.022) to the PhabrOmeter...
