The Purpose of this study was to determine the clinical effectiveness of mirror therapy for stroke. Moreover, this paper was designed to summarize clarified information of neurological plasticity by mirror therapy to finally define the neurological mechanism. Mirror therapy improves the stroke patients' hand and arm motor function. It also has a positive influence on recovering performance of activities of daily living and relieving pain. However, it is not evident that mirror therapy restores visual neglect. There are various ways of recovering stroke. Fundamentally, all the theories are on a bases of restoration of premotor area. Premotor area which is associated with motor control increases the activation of primary motor area and finally improves patients' motor function. If primary motor area is completely damaged, premotor area and supplementary motor substitute for primary motor area. In summary of literature survey, there are not enough evidence to verify the effectiveness and neurological mechanism of mirror therapy. In future, more researches should be conducted to verify the neurological recovery through mirror therapy. Then, mirror therapy will be acknowledged as a clinically effective treatment.

PDP, FED, 그리고 VFD와 같은 마이크로 전자디스플레이 장치를 제작하기 위한 가장 중요한 기술중에 하나인 패널 내를 고진공으로 만드는 것과 초기의 진공을 유지하는 것이다. PDP 디스플레이는 전면판과 후면판으로 구성되어 있다. 전면판은 ITO전극, 절연체 그리고 MgO보호막으로 구성되어 있으며, 후면판은 어드레스 전극, 반사층, 격벽, 그리고 형광체층이 있다. 기존의 방식은 대기에서 프릿 글라스를 이용하여 두 장의 유리를 봉입하고, 후면판 모서리 부분에 있는 구멍에 배기 글라스 튜브를 붙이고, 튜브를 통해서 배기하고, 플라즈마 가스를 채우고, 최종적으로 tip-off를 한다. 이러한 기존의 방식을 통해서는 배기 컨덕턴스의 한계로 얻을 수 있는 초기 진공도에 한계가 있다. 아울러 두 장의 유리사이는 150$\mu$m 정도의 간격으로 되어 있고, 이웃한 격벽사이는 320$\mu$m 정도의 미세한 공간이 주어지는 구조가 컨덕턴스를 저하시킨다. 이와 같은 초기 진공도의 한계성을 극복하기 위한 연구로서, PDP 패널을 구성하는 두 장의 글라스를 진공 챔버내에서 IR heater를 이용하여 실장하였다. 대개 PbO, ZnO, SiO2,, 그리고 B？로 구성된 프릿 글라스를 대기에서 전면판에 dispensing하고 가소한다. 그리고 프릿 글라스가 형성된 전면판과 후면판을 loading, align 한 다음, 2 10-7torr까지 펌핑한 후 heating, holding 그리고 cooling 공정을 수행하므로 써 두 장의 유리를 실장하였다. 그러나 온도의 non-uniformity, 프릿 성분에 따라서 crack과 기포문제가 진공 실장과정에서 발생하였다. 이와 같은 문제를 개선하기 위해 프릿 글라스의 새로운 조성과 온도 uniformity를 유지하므로써, 프릿 글라스의 기포와 crack 발생없이 재현성 있게 진공 실장하였다. Leak channel 형성유무를 검증하기 위하여 챔버 자체의 펌핑 속도와 제작된 패널의 펌핑 속도를 비교하므로써, leak channel형성 유무를 평가할 수 있는 방법을 이용하였다. 이와 같은 방법을 이용하여, crack 또는 기포가 있는 패널은 leak channel을 형성하여 패널내의 진공을 유지할 수 없음을 검증하였고, crack 또는 기포가 없는 패널은 leak channel없이 패널내의 진공을 유지할 수 있음을 검증하였다. 결과적으로 진공 인-라인 실장시 가장 중요한 요인인 프릿의 변화를 분석하므로써, 고진공을 요구하는 FPD(PDP, FED, VFD)에 적합하게 적용할 수 있으며, 아울러 실장시 진공도를 개선하므로 패널내부의 오염을 최소화하여 디스필레이로서의 효율을 극대화할 수 있을 것이다.

The sorption equilibria and permeabilities for $CO_2$ in a homogeneous membrane of polystyrene with the glass transition temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ were measured at a temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and gas pressures up to 1.6 MPa and 2.5 MPa, respectively. The sorption isotherm had the form af dual-mode sorption model at low gas pressures, but became linear at pressures above 1.3 MPa. The linear portion of the isotherm extrapolated to the origin. The pressure dependence of the rnean permeability coefficient deviated upward from the dualsrhode mobility model prediction. It was found that the glass transition was brought out by the plasticization action of sotbed $CO_2$ at a gas pressure of 1.3 MPa from the sorption isotherm. And this result was consistent with an increase in the mean permeability coefficient with applied gas pressure.

Phthalate esters are used as additives in plastics to improve mechanical properties, particularly flexibility. The contamination of soil samples by phthalate esters around four tributaries to the nm river was analyzed based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). All soil samples collected from the four tributaries, which include Anyangcheon and Seohocheon (expected polluted areas), and Gapyeongcheon and Namhan river (expected clean areas), were found to be contaminated by his(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Soil around Anyangcheon was the most contaminated (113 ppb), about twofold higher than the ones around Seohpcheon (64 ppb), Gapyeongcheon and Namhan river (50 ppb). Based on the fact that DEHP contamination in sediments of the river tributaries around the country is as high as 2.04 ppm, it was concluded that DEHP contamination of the soils around the tributaries to the Han river is relatively low.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the application rate of fermented swine manure and additional mineral fertilizer on productivity and nutritive value of corn(Zea mays L.) for silage. Swine manures used in this study were the compost of swine manure fermented with sawdust(SMFWS) and swine sluny(SS). This study was arranged in split-split plot design. Main plots were the types of swine manure, subplots were the application rate of swine manure, such as 100, 200 and 400kgN/ha, and sub-subplots were the application rate of mineral fertilizer, such as 50 and 100kgNiha. Corn DM(dry matter) and TDN(tota1 digestible nutrient) yields increased as application rate of SMFWS and SS increased. DM and TDN yields in SS treatments were higher than those in SMFWS treatments. The effect of fermented swine manure improved positively as application rate of urea increased. Net energy for lactation(NE1) and TDN content in corn decreased as application rate of SMFWS and SS increased, but crude protein(CP) content increased by the application of SMFWS and SS. NE, and TDN contents in SMFWS treatments were lower than those in SS treatments, but CP content in SMFWS was higher than that in SS. The growth and nutritive value of corn were improved by the application of mineral fertilizer. (Key words : Swine manure, Swine sluury, Compost, Zea may, TDN, Net energy)

Local protein synthesis in neuronal dendrites is important for site-specific regulation of synaptic plasticity. In this study, we investigated whether translation initiation factors (eIFs) are present at the postsynaptic sites. High resolution confocal microscopy showed that the eIF4E and eIF4G (which bind the 5'-terminal mRNA cap), eIF5 (which is important during the 3' direction scanning to find an initiation codon), eIF6 (which mediates upregulation of translation by external stimuli), and eIF5A (which mediate translation upregulation under adverse conditions) were localized to the post-synaptic sites. Immunoblot and detergent extraction experiments also indicated that these eIFs were present in the synapse in association with the postsynaptic density (PSD). Our data provide evidence for the strategic positioning of eIFs at the postsynaptic site for initiation of translation in diverse situations.

Hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of pottery bodies can be controlled via chemical substitution of layered clay with hydrophilic and hydrophobic organics. In this study, organo-clay nanocomposites were prepared by ion-exchange of montmorillonite with dodecylamine and hexadecylamine, respectively. Substitution sites of organics and the interval changes of layered materials are characterized by FT-IR and WAXD and organics amounts loaded and water comtents contained by C/S analysis and TG-DSC. The organics were selectively intercalated so that increase layer interval from 12${\AA}\; to\;16{\AA}$. Organo-modified clay is changed to more hydrophobic comparing to clay itself.

The extracting conditions of alginates from sea tangle were evaluated by measuring water vapor permeability (WVP) and tensile properties of alginate film to obtain basic data of making an edible and biodegradable film. The alginates were extracted with $1\%,\;3\%$ and $5\%$ sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) for 1, 3, 5 and 10 hours, and the alginate film was made with various plasticizers. The higher concentration of $Na_2CO_3$ solution showed the lower viscosity and polymerization degree of alginate and the film prepared with alginates having low viscosity showed the higher WVP. The extracting hours had little effect on the WVP and the elongation of alginate film, but the polymerization degree of alginates directly affected the tensile strength of the film. The addition of sorbitol and polyethylene glycol as a plasticizer lowered the WVPs and the elongation of alginate film.

To improve the water resistance and physical properties of soy protein isolate (SPI)-coated paper, effects of concentrations of soy protein isolate and plasticizer were examined. Physical properties such as elongation strength (ES), elongation rate (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) were evaluated. The film made from 5% soy protein isolate (SPI) and 40% glycerol (plasticizer) suggested a good application for a film preparation. SPI coated paper showed the highest ES (21.62 MPa) and the lowest WVP $(2.06ng{\cdot}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa)$ and WS (1.17%). This study suggested that soy protein isolate (SPI) can be used as a coating material for the coated paper to improve the water resistance.

Molecular recognition technology has attracted considerable attention for improving the selectivity of a specific molecule by imprinting it on a polymer matrix. In this study, adsorption and release characteristics of chitosan based drug delivery films imprinted with sulindac (SLD) were investigated in terms of the plasticizer, temperature and pH and the results were also interpreted by the related mathematical models. The adsorption characteristics of target molecules on SLD-imprinted polymer films were better explained by the Freundlich and Sips equation than that of the Langmuir equation. The binding site energy distribution function was also useful for understanding the adsorption relationship between target molecules and polymer films. The drug release of SLD-imprinted polymer films followed the Fickian diffusion mechanism, whereas the drug release using artificial skin followed the non-Fickian diffusion behavior.
