Agarose gels can be used as reference standards for the measurement of fluid properties in porous media because the relaxation properties of the gel reference standard and those of the fluid in porous media can be closely matched. The use of reference standard to determine porosity and saturation is discussed and the requirements for gel NMR properties given. The relaxtion times of agarose gels measured at 2.0 Tesla are illustrated as a function of agarose and paramagnetic impurity ($CuSO_4$) concentrations. This work shows an empirical result between agarose gel composition and gel relaxtion times. The average value for the porosity distribution is 17.7%, which compares well with the value calculated with the gravimetric analysis. Finally, two phase immiscible displacement using agarose gels as a reference standard was performed. The saturation profiles appear to be consistent with what one might calculate for a one-dimensional displacement in a uniform porous media.

본 연구의 목적은 산림경관의 스트레스 완화 효과를 생리측정(피부 돌출치와 심장박동시간)과 심리측정 (ZIPER 설문지)을 통하여 조사하는 것이다. 연구가설은 두 가지로 첫 번째 가설에서는 산림경관을 본 사람들의 스트레스 측정치가 인공경관을 본 사람들의 측정치보다 낮을 것이라고 예측되었다. 두 번째 가설에서는 산림경관을 본 사람들의 스트레스 해소가 인공경관을 본 사람들보다 보다 빠르고 완전하게 발생할 것으로 예측되었다. 실험에는 대학 학부학생 70명이 참여하였으며, 실험에 이용된 산림 및 인공경관은 예비설문을 거쳐 선정되었다. 실험결과를 보면 첫 번째 가설은 피부 돌출치와 긍정적인 심리요인 그리고 부정적인 심리요인에서 채택되었다. 두 번째 가설 중 스트레스 해소속도에 대한 가설은 피부 돌출치와 심장박동시간에서 모두 채택되었으나, 스트레스 해소의 완전성에 대한 가설은 피부 돌출치에서만 채택되었다. 비록 심장박동시간과 집중/호기심 요인에서 연구가설이 채택되지 못했지만 전반적으로 산림경관과 인공경관을 비교할 때 산림경관의 스트레스 완화효과가 더 크고 빠르고 완전함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 의의는 산림경관의 효과를 두 가지 측정(생리적, 심리적)을 이용하여 조사하였다는 점과 국외연구결과와 유사한 결과를 얻음으로써 이러한 효과가 지역에 관계없이 공통적임을 밝혔다는 점이다. 본 연구결과는 산림이 인간의 건강과 복지에 긍정적이라는 점을 입증함으로써 산림의 조성과 보존에 중요한 근거를 제공할 수 있다. 보다 발전적인 후속연구를 위해서는 다양한 종류의 인공경관과 일반시민들의 참여, 그리고 인지능력의 병행이 필요하다.

고유전 (Ba, Sr)TiO₃ (BST) 박막을 이용한 DRAM storage capacitor의 저전계 영역에서의 전하손실을 발생시키는 커패시터의 누설전류는 유전완화전류와 진성 누설전류로 이루진다고 알려져 있다. 특히, 기가급 DRAM의 동작 전압(~IV)에서 유전완화전류가 진성 누설전류에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문에 이에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 thermally stimulated current (TSC) 측정법을 BST 박막에 처음으로 적용하여 트랩의 에너지 level 및 공정변화에 따른 트랩 밀도의 상대적 평가를 하였다. 그리고, 기존에 사용되던 전류-전압(I-V) 측정이나 전류-시간(I-t) 측정과 비교 및 분석함으로써 유전완화 전류의 원인을 규명하고 TSC 측정법의 신뢰성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 안정적인 TSC 측정을 위해 전계, 시간, 온도 및 승온속도에 따른 polarization condition을 알아보았다 이 조건을 이용한 TSC 측정으로부터 BST 박막에서의 트랩의 energy level이 0.20(±0.01) eV와 0.45(±0.02) eV임을 알 수 있었다. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA)을 이용한 후속 열처리에 따른 TSC 측정을 통하여 이 트랩들이 산소결핍(oxygen vacancy)에 기인함을 확인할 수 있었다. MIM BST 커패시터의 열처리에 대한 TSC 특성은 전류-전압(I-V) 및 전류-시간(I-t) 특성과 같은 경향성을 보인다. 이것은 TSC 측정이 BST 박막내의 트랩을 평가하는데 있어서 매우 효과적인 방법이라는 것을 보여준다.

The ac magnetic susceptibility was measured in iron-oxide nanoparticles with average size of 26 nm, which were uniformly dispersed in organic solvent. The ac magnetic susceptibility measured under zero magnetic fields was well fitted with Debye relaxation model and the relaxation frequency was 370 Hz. The relaxation frequency of the nanoparticles coincided with relaxation time of the Brownian motion, which is due to the viscosity of the liquid medium in which magnetic nanoparticles dwell. The Brown relaxation frequencies were linearly increased with magnetic field.

To evaluate the effect of a new topical anesthetic cream (EMLA: Eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) on reducing pain associated with DPT vaccination, we conducted a clinical observation on eighty infants who were brought to well baby clinic of Yeungnam University Hospital for DPT vaccination. 80 Infants, who were between 2 months and 8 months in age, were divided into two groups. EMLA treated group and control group. Male to femle sex ratio was 1.4 to 1. EMLA cream was applied 60 minutes before DPT vaccination, the effect of reducing pain was assessed by using McGrath's face scale, Oucher pain scale and modified behavioral pain scale (MBPS) and also evaluated by measuring the duration and time of crying (the time of the first crying after injection, duration of the first crying, total duration of crying). The scores of those scales were lower in EMLA treated group than in control group significantly (P(0.01 in McGrath's face scale, MBPS and p<0.05 in Oucher pain scale). There was no difference in the time of the first crying after vaccination in both groups. The duration of the first crying was shorter in EMLA treated group than control group of crying was also shorter in EMLA treated group (EMLA treated group $9.0{\pm}6.0$ sec, control group $21.9{\pm}12.5$ sec, p<0.05). Transient skin erythema was noted in 5 infants after EMLA application, but no other adverse effects were observed. We conclude that the application of EMLA cream before vaccination seems to be an effective and safe way to reduce the pain from vaccination, but it takes usually 60 minutes to get the anesthetic effect of EMLA and it is expensive, so EMLA cream can not be recommended in routine vaccination in infants now.

A method for the measurement of viscoelastic properties of heat denatured gluten network was developed in order to evaluate the noodle making quality of wheat flour. The stress relaxation of elongated heat denatured gluten network could be expressed by 6-element generallized Maxwell model. The tensile force of heat denatured gluten network increased by the heating time. The elastcity and viscosity of the first exponential term which covers 70-74% of the total relaxation increased as cooking time was extended up to 1q min. The addition of gluten network strengthening agent, potassium bromate, at 1000ppm level reduced the elasticity and viscosity, while weakening agent, L-cystein, increased them. The relaxation time decreased after 11 min of cooking in both cases. The elasticity and viscosity of heat denatured gluten were affected differently by the concentration of added urea.

Whether the pretreatment of sublethal arsenic or cadmium may prevent from lethality of arsenic or cadmium to mice, respectively, and also the protection against to lethality of arsenic or cadmium which might be induced by pretreatment of arsenic or cadmium may be related with their hepatic glutathione contents were investigated. When sodium arsenite or cadmium chloride was subcutaneously injected to mice (ICR strain) using lethal doses, all mice of both group were killed. The mortality of mice which were subsequently injected with lethal arsenic 24 hours after pretreatment of sublethal arsenic was decreased, and the same result was obtained in the case of cadmium. Sublethal pretreatment of arsenic or cadmium prior to lethal arsenic or cadmium treatment to mice, respectively, didn't decrease hepatic glutathione contents of the survived mice, while decreases of that contents in liver were observed in the mice just after they died. Cadmium pretreatment decreased mortality of mice which subsequently injected with lethal arsenic, while arsenic pretreatment didn't protect against cadmium lethality. These results indicate that protection against arsenic or cadmium lethality to mice induced by pretreatment of sublethal arsenic or cadmium may be directly related to other factors induced by sublethal camium pretreatment, not to hepatic glutathione contents.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a hospice palliative education program for adults on their perception of hospice, attitude towards death, and meaning of life. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design. Among 43 participants, 22 were assigned to the non-equivalent experimental group and 21 to the control group. The hospice palliative education program comprised 10 three-hour sessions, each given once a week. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test and ${\chi}^2-test$ using SPSS version 20.0. Results: Significant differences between the experimental and control groups were observed in their perception of hospice (t=6.63, P<0.001), attitude towards death (t=2.36, P=0.023), and meaning of life (t=5.06, P<0.001). Conclusion: The results indicate that this education program could positively affect the perception of hospice, attitude toward death, and meaning of life in adults. More studies are warranted to explore the effects of this education program for various age groups so that it may help more people get positive understanding of hospice palliative care. The results suggest this program could help improve the negative perception of hospice, negative attitude towards death and meaning of life that are generally held by the public.

Ultrasonic absorption spectrum in bovine serum albumin aqueous solutions have been measured at $20^{\circ}C$ over the broad frequency range $0.2{\sim}1,000\;MHz$ at pH 7. The absorption spectrum observed at neutral pH was successfully analyzed with the distribution of relaxation time assuming a mirror-image curve of the Davidson-Cole function. This distribution function suggests that hydration of BSA molecules is responsible for the absorption.

공간조인은 지리정보 시스템에서 공간분석을 위한 주요 연산중의 하나이다. 이러한 공간조인은 대상이 되는 공간 객체의 수가 증가함에 따라 연산시간이 지수적으로 증가하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 그래서 대규모 공간 데이터에 다한 공간 연산시간을 줄이기 위한 처리기법이 연구되고 있다. 그렇지만, 공유 디스크 구조에서 다중 프로세서의 디스크 동시 접근으로 인한 병목현상을 완화하고, 프로세서간의 공유 디스크 구조에서 다중 프로세서의 디스크 동시 접근으로 인한 병목현상을 완화하고, 프로세서간의 메시지 전달을 최소화하기 위한 태스크 생성방법, 태스크 할당방법에 관한 구체적인 연구가 없었다. 그래서 우선 병렬 공간 조인의 성능저하 요인을 분석하고, 이에 대한 성능 향상방안을 제시한다. 구체적으로 디스크 접근 시간을 줄이기 위한 객체 캐쉬 방법과 시공간 지역성을 이용한 태스크 생성 및 할당방법을 제시한다. 그리고 제안한 방법들에 대해 실험평가를 통해 최대 7.2배의 성능증가를 획득할 수 있음을 보여준다.
