Archer's capability of attention and relaxation control during shooting process was evaluated using EEG technology. Attention and meditation algorithms were used to represent the levels of mental concentration and relaxation levels. Elite, mid-level, and novice archers were tested for short and long distance shootings in the archery field. Single channel EEG was recorded on the forehead (Fp1) during the shooting process, and attention and meditation levels were computed by real time. Four types of variations were defined based on the increasing and decreasing patterns of attention and meditation levels during shooting process. Elite archers showed increases in both attention and relaxation while mid-level archers showed increased attention but decreased relaxation. Elite archers also showed higher levels of attention at the release than mid-level and novice archers. Levels of attention and relaxation and their variation patterns were useful to categorize archers and to provide feedback in training.

The relaxation response is a state of profound rest, creates physiological responses directly opposite to the stress response. The relaxation response can be used to counteract the harmful effects of stress. The relaxation response can be elicited by a number of techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, biofeedback, etc. These relaxation methods in any mental or physical conditions associated with distress and even in normal people have useful benefits for stress control and health enhancement. These relaxation techniques are but one part of a comprehensive stress management program, through regular and continuous practice appropriate for each person, they will make an effective role in stress management. In this review, author reviewed how to practically use meditation, progressive muscle relaxation and autogenic training, in more detail. In the treatment of various stress-related disease, especially in psychiatric disorders, the relaxation technique may be a useful complement to conventional treatment and serves as an intervention between stress and disease.

A new splicing technique by the secondary moment which is intentionally induced by the tensioning effect of continuous tendons and the releasing effect of temporary beam tendons was developed. The tensioning and releasing works are essential and the decisions of the magnitude and order about them may be important engineering problems in this technique. In this paper, it was studied lot the practically optimum procedure of the tensioning and releasing works. As the result, it is concluded that the gradual progress through the three stages is reasonable for the procedure and the tensioning work have to precede the releasing work. Additionally, the magnitude of preceding tensioning force should be obtained by the sensitivity analysis and the minimum limit is more critical than the minimum limit.

Cable dome is one of tension structure which is gradually stabilized by tensioning tables from initially unstable state to finally stable state. This stabilizing process is not able to be developed by general analysis because some cables endure compression forces during stabilizing process. Thus, this paper uses dynamic relaxation method to solve this problem. To apply this stabilizing process analysis to the actual project, this paper deals with cable dome roof of Seoul Olympic Gymnasium. Finally, this paper prove the usefulness of stabilizing process analysis by comparing the analysis results and the measurements.

단삼(丹蔘) (Salvia miltiorrhiza)은 꿀풀과(일과(―科) Lamiaceae)에 속하는 다년생 초본으로, 중국이 원산지이며 약용하기 위해 우리나라에서도 널리 재배하고 있다. 신농본초경(神農本草經) 상품(上品)에 수재(收載)되어 있으며, 거어지통(祛瘀止痛), 양혈소종(凉血消腫), 청심제번(淸心除煩), 활혈조혈(活血調血) 등의 효능이 있어 부인과 질환에 많이 사용되고 있는 약재에 속한다. 본 연구에서는 단삼(丹蔘) 추출물이 흰쥐의 흉부 대동맥 절편에 어떠한 양상으로 작용하는지 확인하고자 하였으며, 그 결과 단삼 추출물 특히 헥산 분획에서 강력한 혈관 이완 작용이 나타났으며, 혈관 내피 세포의 존재 유무에 상관없이 농도 의존적으로 혈관을 이완시켰으나 혈관 내피 세포가 존재하는 상황에서 더욱 강력한 혈관 이완 작용을 보였다. 이러한 과정에 NO에 의한 cGMP 증가가 주요하게 작용하는 것으로 추정되었으며, 칼슘 통로 차단 효과에 의한 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$의 감소도 관여하는 것으로 생각된다.

The present study is concerned with the application of dynamic relaxation method in the investigation of the large deflection behavior of spatial structures. The dynamic relaxation do not require the computation or formulation of any tangent stiffness matrix. The convergence to the solution is achieved by using only vectorial quantities and no stiffness matrix is required in its overall assembled form. In an effort to evaluate the merits of the methods, extensive numerical studies were carried out on a number of selected structural systems. The advantages of using dynamic relaxation methods, in tracing the post-buckling behavior of spatial structures, are demonstrated.

A concrete lining of NATM tunnel is the final product of a process that involves planning and evaluation of user needs, geotechnical investigations, analysis of ground-lining interaction, construction, and observations and modifications during construction. The designer must consider the lining in context of the many function, construction, and geotechnical requirements. Also, the loss of supporting capacity of shotcrete lining due to poor rock qualities and shotcrete erosion must be considered. The values, shapes, and estimating methods of rock load and water pressure are very different with every designers. Estimating methods of rock loads used in the design of NATM tunnel concrete lining are investigated. Structural analyses are done in various load combinations, and the member forces(moment, axial force and shear force) are compared. The adequate load combination of rock load and water pressure is proposed.

The purpose of this study was to develop relaxation training contents for middle and high school archery players with considering the ecological validity of social, cultural, and sports environment in Korean but also examine the effect of developing relaxation training contents through case study approach and interviews. The relaxation training contents was based on previous researches about relaxation program. In addition, in order to develop the program 3 archery experts and 2 sport psychologists had meetings. The relaxation training contents categorized as orientation, breathing regulation, progressive relaxation training, cognitive restructuring, meditation, heart rate biofeedback training, autogenic training, behavior therapy, self regulation. The experimental group were 6 male Korean national archery substitute players, who were selected in 2007. The effects was examined on competitive state anxiety inventory-2, heart rates, archery score and interviews. As the result of applying the developed program of this study on the field, competitive state anxiety, somatic state anxiety and heart rate were decreased. In the interviews athletes told that they were relaxed psychologically and physically. This result demonstrated the relaxation training program were effective.

A zero-dimensional direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) model is developed for simulating diatomic gas including vibrational kinetics. The method is applied to the simulation of two systems: vibrational relaxation of a simple harmonic oscillator and translational-rotational-vibrational energy exchange process under heating and cooling. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere molecular model and no time counter technique are used to simulate the molecular collision kinetics. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Borgnakke-Larsen phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies.
