The primary objectives of this study are twofold. One is to examine the psychometric properties of Family Empowerment Scale(FES) developed by Koren, DeChillo and Frisen(1992). The other is to develope a short-form FES. Data collected from 337 members of Parents' Solidarity of Children with Disabilities were used. FES had good internal consistency, but the results of confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) did not support the theoretical factor structure of the scale. Basic analyses such as correlation and descriptive analysis were performed to examine the characteristics of individual items and identify the limitation of the orignal FES. In addition, a series of CFA were carried out to develop a short-form FES. Finally 15 items were selected based on theoretical rationale and the results of CFA. Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ and the model fit indices for the short-form FES indicated that this measure has good construct validity as well as internal consistency. In discussion, usefulness and potential contribution of this study were explored in relation to content development in the area of measuring instruments.

Size/scale is a central idea in the science curriculum, providing explanations for various phenomena. However, few studies have been conducted to explore student understanding of this concept and to suggest instructional approaches in scientific contexts. In contrast, there have been more studies in mathematics, regarding the use of number lines to relate the nature of numbers to operation and representation of magnitude. In order to better understand variations in student conceptions of size/scale in scientific contexts and explain learning difficulties including alternative conceptions, this study suggests an approach that links mathematics with the analysis of student conceptions of size/scale, i.e. the analysis of mathematical structure and reasoning for a number line. In addition, data ranging from high school to college students facilitate the interpretation of conceptual complexity in terms of mathematical development of a number line. In this sense, findings from this study better explain the following by mathematical reasoning: (1) varied student conceptions, (2) key aspects of each conception, and (3) potential cognitive dimensions interpreting the size/scale concepts. Results of this study help us to understand the troublesomeness of learning size/scale and provide a direction for developing curriculum and instruction for better understanding.

Objectives: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), but the major limitation of CPAP may be poor compliance. The aims of the study were to investigate the compliance and side effects of CPAP, and to evaluate the efficacy of CPAP in patients with OSAS. Methods: This study enrolled 106 patients with OSAS who took the CPAP treatment. The severity of daytime sleepiness was measured using Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and sleep quality and depressive symptoms were assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively. Results: During 29 months of the study period, 41.5% of patients were using CPAP and 38.7% of patients stopped using it. Compared to non-compliant patients, compliant patients had a higher PSQI score and obstructive apnea index. Among non-compliant patients, 51.2% of them stopped using CPAP within 1months. 85.7% of non-compliant patients were discomforted by the CPAP, but much more nasopharyngeal symptoms were reported in the compliant group. ESS (p<0.01), PSQI (p<0.01) and BMI (p<0.01) were reduced significantly after CPAP treatment but not BDI (p=0.86). Conclusions: We concluded that CPAP can reduce the daytime sleepiness, nocturnal sleep disturbance, and body mass index. To increase the compliance of CPAP, we suggest that some education and support are needed at the early stage of the CPAP treatment.

In this study using $N_2$-back flushing, which wwas not the general back-flushing method of membranes, the discharged wastewater from a paper plant was filtrated by 4 kinds of tubular carbon ceramic ultrafiltration membranes. We could in vestigate effects of $N_2$-back flushing period, transmembrane pressure (TMP)and flow rate and find optimal operating conditions. The $N_2$-back flushing time (BT) was fixed at 40 sec, filtration times (FT) were changed in 4~32 min, TNP in $1.0~3.0kg_f/cm^2$ the flow celocities in 0.53~1.09cm/s. The optimal conditions were discussed in the viewpoints of dimensionless permeate flux ($J/J_0$), toal permeate volume ($V_T$) and resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$). Optimal back-flushing period was BT/FT=0.167 (FT=8 min ), in which more $V_T$ was obtained than that in BT/FT=0.083 (FT=4 min) which was the most friquent back-flushing condition. Then rising TMP should increase the driving force, and more $V_T$ could be accumulated. And rising flow rate should decrease membrane fouling increase permeate flux, and more $V_T$could be produced. Average rejection rates of pollutants were higher than 95% for turbidity and 45~83% for $COD_{Cr}$, but rejection rates of total dissolved solid (TDS) were lower than 10%.

미래의 해전은, 현재와 같은 추세로 살펴본다면 무기 체계의 첨단 기술이 개발이 되었을 경우, 미사일 전쟁화가 될 것으로 추정이 된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 미 해군이 차세대 구축함으로 개발하고 있는 DD2l함을 근거로 해서 전투효율과 경제성에 기초를 둔, 차세대 함정이 갖추어야 할 필요 충분 조건이 무엇인가를 고찰하기로 하였다. 하나의 임무를 갖춘 함정의 여러 척수와 다종 임무를 갖춘 한 척의 함정간의 전투 효율과 경제성에 대한 비교로 부터, 다종 임무를 갖춘 한 척이 양측면에서 우수하다는 사실이 전술과 전략 측면에 관한 각종 연구를 통해 평가되고 있다.

최근 기계가공의 고능률화와 고정도화를 위하여 공작기계의 고속화의 요구가 해가 갈수록 높아지고 있다. 특히 터어닝센타(Turning Center)에 있어서도 주축회전수가 1만 rpm 정도의 고속화, 고출력화와 함께 공구의 고속, 중점삭을 향한 성능향상이 진전되어가고 있으나, 기계-공작물-공구의 절삭 시스템 중에서 기계와 공작물을 연결하는 인터페이스로서, 고속화된 척의 개발이 늦어져서 기계의 고속화를 저해하는 하나의 요인으로 지적되어 지고 있다.(중략)

본 논문은 Chidamber와 Kemerer가 제안한 객체지향 설계를 위한 척도를 바탕으로 이를 확장하여 클래스 상속 구조의 유지보수성을 이해성과 변경성 측면에서 측정하는 새로운 객체지향 척도를 제안했다. 그리고 클래스 상속 구조의 예를 들어 비교 평가를 함으로써 Chidamber와 Kemerer의 척도 및 Henderson-Sellers의 척도보다 우수함을 보였다.

지적구조의 시각적인 표현을 위해서 오랫동안 다차원척도법이 사용되어 왔으나, 최근에는 패스파인더 네트워크와 같이 네트워크의 형태로 표현하는 방법이 확산되고 있다. 다차원척도법에 대해서는 생성된 2차원 지도의 품질을 평가하기 위한 합치도 지표로 STRESS나 RSQ를 비롯한 여러 종류가 사용되고 있는 반면, 네트워크 표현에 대해서는 마땅한 합치도 지표가 아직까지 제안되지 않았다. 이 글에서는 개체 간의 연관성을 네트워크로 표현할 경우에, 생성된 네트워크 구조를 평가하기 위한 합치도 지표로 NetRSQ를 제안하였다.

오는 7월 1일부터 전면 발효되는 ISPS Code에 대비하여 세심한 준비가 요구되고 있다. ISPS Code 시행시기가 4개월밖에 남지 않은 현재 국적선의 경우 ISPS Code를 이행하기 위한 준비단계에 불과한 선박보안계획서(SSP)의 승인은 회원사 소속 선박 380여척 중 비국적선의 경우 110척, 국적선의 경우도 110척에 불과해 준비를 서둘러야 할 상황이다. 국제 보안증서를 취득하기 위해 소요되는 시일이 대략 75일 소요되는 점을 감안할 때, 늦어도 3월 말까지는 보안계획서 승인을 신청해야 하기 때문이다.
