First Report of causing Anthracnose on in South Korea.

Sorghum ( (L.) Moench) is one of the top five cereal crops in the world, but the cultivation area in Korea is estimated to be about 3,000 ha (MIFFAF, 2012). In August 2014, anthracnose symptoms on sorghum leaves were observed in two fields in Yecheon (36.

Taxonomy of sp. nov., , and : New Records from Soil in Korea.

The strains 17E-042, 17E-039, and NC13-171 belong to Ascomycota and were isolated from soil collected from Sancheong-gun and Yeongam-gun, Korea. The strain 17E-042 produced white mycelial colonies that developed a sienna color with a round margin on potato dextrose agar (PDA), and the reverse side developed a light sienna color. Morphologically, this strain was similar to the strains of and , but the shorter conidial size of the newly identified strain (17E-042) was distinct.

First Report of Fusarium Wilt Caused by Fusarium equiseti on Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitate L.) in Korea.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitate L.) is an important vegetable crop that is widely cultivated throughout the world.

First Report of Verticillium Wilt Caused by Infection on Chinese Cabbage in Korea.

Chinese cabbage () is one of the most important vegetables in Korea due to its role as the main ingredient for the making of Kimchi. In June 2014, disease symptoms of leaves wilt, dry, and drop off on Chinese cabbage were observed in a Chinese cabbage farm located at Taebeak (37°26'50.7"N 128°95'50.

Three-dimensional computed tomography evaluation of craniofacial characteristics according to lateral deviation of chin.

Background: The relationship between the lateral deviation of chin and the upper and middle facial third asymmetry is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation of upper and middle facial third asymmetry with lateral deviation of chin using 3-dimensional computed tomography. The study was conducted on patients who underwent orthognathic surgery from January 2016 to August 2017.

Role of Aortic Geometry on Stroke Propensity based on Simulations of Patient-Specific Models.

Stroke is a life threatening event that is expected to more than double over the next 40 years. Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been reported as a strong independent risk factor for stroke. We have previously shown that a hemodynamic perturbation by AF or reduced cardiac output and cycle length may have a significant impact on clot trajectory and thus embolic stroke propensity through the left common carotid artery using an idealized aortic arch model.

Optimization of Peripheral Vascular Sizing with Conductance Guidewire: Theory and Experiment.

Although the clinical range of interventions for coronary arteries is about 2 to 5 mm, the range of diameters of peripheral vasculature is significantly larger (about 10 mm for human iliac artery). When the vessel diameter is increased, the spacing between excitation electrodes on a conductance sizing device must also increase to accommodate the greater range of vessel diameters. The increase in the excitation electrodes distance, however, causes higher parallel conductance or current losses outside of artery lumen.

Deinococcus sedimenti sp. nov. isolated from river sediment.

A novel Gram-positive, oval-shaped, non-motile bacterium designated strain 16F1L was isolated from sediment collected from the Han River in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
