The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of self-management relaxation training through biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation methods. The effectiveness of the experimental methods was tested by measuring the degree of symptoms of stress (SOS), the McNair's profile of Mood States (POMS), the levels of ephinephrine, norepinephrine, pulse rate, blood pressure and natural killer cells. The subjects of this study were sixty six nursing students divided into four groups : two groups were the biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation groups, the other two groups served as control groups. One was a group of sophomores with no experience at all, the other a junior group without self -management or relaxation training. This study was conducted for eight weeks of clinical practice from April, 26th 1998 to June, 20th 1998. Biofeedback training was done with software developed by J&J company (1-410 form for abdominal respiration training). Progressive muscle relaxation training was done with u audiotape recorded according to Jacobson's Theory. The data were analyzed with frequencies, means, and analysis of covariance using the SPSS program and the significance level of statistics was 5%. The results of the study are : 1) The importance of clinical practice stress reduction is shown in that the level of symptoms of stress in the experimental groups in clinical practice was higher than in the group receiving only a lecture. 2) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in reducing the symptoms of stress under the clinical practice stress conditions. 3) The effectiveness of the biofeedback training relaxation method to reduce symptoms of stress was higher than that of progressive muscle relaxation. 4) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in reducing stressful mood states. 5) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were not effective in reducing epinephrine and norepinephrine levels. 6) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in increaing the number of natural killer cells. 7) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in decreasing high systolic and diastolic values of blood pressure and high pulse rates. In summary, the relaxation methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation in reducing clinical practice stress were effective in lowering the level of symptoms of stress and the profile of stressful mood states. They were also effective in lowering high blood pressure and pulse rates. The relaxation methods were effective in increasing the number of natural killer cells as part of the immune function. However, relaxation methods were not effective in reducing the catecholamine level. The biofeedback training method for reduction of symptoms of stress was more effective than the progressive muscle relaxation method.

Preadjusted appliance, following the original concept of the Andrews Straight-Wire appliance, became increasingly common in the 1980s. In six phases of treatment, anchorage control, leveling and aligning, overbite control, overjet reduction, space closure, and finishing are very effective with using the preadjusted appliances. Space closure is the phase of treatment in which the difference between standard edgewise and preadjusted mechanics is most noticeable. Orthodontists have been able to reduce the use of closing loops and, because of the level slot lineup, enjoy the advantages of sliding mechanics. In 1990, Dr. John C. Bennett and Richard P. McLaughlin introduced the new space closure system, namely, elastic 'tiebacks'. They found an $.019'\times.025'$ working archwire most effective in an .022'-slot system. Hooks of .024' stainless steel or .028' brass wire are soldered to the upper and lower archwires. The force required for space closure is delivered by elastic 'tiebacks'. An elastic modulo stretched by 2-3mm(to twice its normal length) usually delivers 0.5-1.5mm of space closure per month. Group movement and sliding mechanics are combined for gentle, controlled space closure, so that about 0.5mm of incisor retraction and 0.5mm of mesial molar movement can be seen each month. The tiebacks are replaced every four to six weeks. By using the elastic 'tiebacks', the next two cases were treated during space closure. Even though we found some clinical problems of this mechanics, long treatment time, hard to control of vertical dimension and anchorage, the application method of this system is so simple that orthodontists can manage many patients during short chair time. But we must apply this mechanics after perfect understanding of the biomechanics in tooth movement.

해양 투기가 금지되면서 혐기소화를 통해 최종적으로 발생되는 폐기물 양을 줄이고 메탄 등의 바이오 가스를 얻어 이를 에너지로 얻기 위한 많은 공정들이 현장에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 혐기 소화 과정을 마친 후 유출되는 유출액은 고농도의 유기물질 및 암모니아성 질소, 인산염 등을 다량으로 함유하고 있어 적은 양이라도 하천이나 호수 등에 유입되면 수질 악화와 부영양화를 초래할 위험성이 크다. 이번 연구에서는 음식물류 폐기물로부터 바이오가스를 생산하기 위한 혐기소화 공정에서 발생하는 유출액의 방류수 수질기준 확보와 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있는 처리공정의 상용화 기술을 개발하기 위해 생물학적 처리， 물리 화학적 처리를 통합한 공정을 적용하였다. P건설사 혐기소화 유출액 pilot plant(1 ton/day) 운전 결과 50~70% 로 $NO_2$-N 이 약 1,000 mg/$\ell$정도로 축적되는 현상을 보였으며 상대적으로 $COD_{Cr}$의 농도는 400~600 mg/$\ell$로 C/N 비가 낮아 탈질이 어려울 것으로 판단하였다. 이에 실험실 규모에서의 실험을 진행하였다. $NO_2$-N와 $NO_3$-N을 기준으로 McCarty 양론비 기준 80% 에서 300%까지 메탄올을 주입해 제조 폐수와 실제폐수로 실험을 진행하였고 제조폐수로 실행된 실험에서 아질산 탈질의 효율을 확인하였다. 미생물이 메탄올에 순응 후 완전 탈질에 걸리는 시간은 약 2.5 일로 확인 되었으며 메탄올이 추가로 주입되지 않은 반응조의 $NO_2$-N의 탈질량은 메탄올이 이론값 100% 주입 된 반응조에 비해 30% 이하의 처리 효율을 나타냈다. 이론값을 기준으로 메탄올이 100% 주입된 반응조는 약 96.1%의 탈질 효율을 보였으며 메탄올 순응 후에 약 1.5 일의 HRT가 단축되었기 때문에 메탄올에 장시간 순응 시 탈질 효율이 더 좋아질 것으로 보인다. 아질산탈질에 대한 실험실 규모 연구결과를 토대로 pilot plant에서 재현성 검토를 목적으로 운전을 수행하였다. 무산소조의 HRT는 2.7 일 이었으며 호기조의 HRT는 4.1 일 이었다. 유입수의 평균 $COD_{Cr}$ 농도는 2,878 mg/L, T - N 농도는 2,723 mg/L로 나타났으며 $NO_2$-N 기준 C/N비 1.2-1.8의 메탄올을 주입하였을 때 96% 이상의 탈질율을 보였다.

Cells infected With equine herpesvirus type-1 (EHV-1) Produced both infectious and non-infectious Virus-related particles. Compared to the whole virion, non-infectious particles termed L-particles were deter-mined to lack 150 kDa protein, commonly known as nucleocapsid protein. The potential of L-particles to induce immune responses was studied in mice and foals. Intranasal immunization with L-particles or whole virions induced poor IgG antibody responses in mice. Interestingly, despite the poor antibody response, the conferred immunity protected the host from challenge infections. This was indicated by a significant reduction in virus titers in line with recovery towards normal body weight. Subsequently, the test on the usefulness of L-particles as immunizing agents was extended to foals. Immunization of specific-pathogen-free (SPF) foals resulted in similar results. As determined by a complement-fixing-antibody test (CFT), foals seroconverted when they were immunized either with inactivated L-particles or whole virions via intramuscular (i.m.) injections. The presence of the antibody correlated with the degree of protection. Beyond day 1 post challenge infection (p.i.), there was no virus shedding in the nasal mucus of foals immunized with whole EHV-1 virions. Virus shedding was observed in foals Immunized with L-particles but limited to days 6 to 8 p.i. only. In contrast, extended vim shedding was observed in non-immunized foals and it was well beyond day 14 p.i. Viremia was not detected for more than four days except in non-immunized foals. Immunization in mice via intranasal (i.n.) conferred good protection. However, compared to the i.n. route, a greater degree of protection was obtained in foals following immunization via i.m. route. Despite variation in the degree of protection due to different routes of immunization in the two animal species, our results have established significant evidence that immunization with L-particles confers protection in the natural host. It is suggested that non-infectious L-particles should be used as immunizing agents for vaccination of horses against EHV-1 infection.

This study was carried out to reduce the lateral vibration of high-speed electric multiple units. In the study, the high-speed electric multiple unit prototype (HEMU-430X) has a high lateral vibration at low equivalent conicity regardless of the wheel profiles (XP55, GV40, S1002). As wheel wear progresses and the equivalent conicity increases, the lateral vibration tends to decrease. The reason is that a combination of the suspension characteristics causes the body and bogie to resonate at a frequency of 1.4 Hz when the equivalent conicity is low, resulting in body hunting. An investigation of the lateral vibration of overseas high-speed trains showed that a decrease in the hydraulic stiffness of the yaw damper could improve the vibration. The series stiffness of the yaw damper is a combination of the hydraulic stiffness and elastic joint. In this study, an attempt was made to improve the lateral vibration by lowering the stiffness of the elastic joint. The series stiffness of the adjusted yaw damper was approximately 60% compared to the original one. The on track test results showed improvement in the lateral vibration for both running directions. The vibration reduction method of this study can be used for EMU-250 and EMU-320 in future commercial operations.

This is the first of the two papers dealing with reliability analyses for external and internal stability of a quay wall constructed on a special foundation. A new practical reliability analysis method is proposed in this paper to evaluate the quantitative risk associated with external stability of a quay wall constructed on the deep cement mixed ground. The method can consider uncertainties in various design variables. For the risk estimation to external stability of the improved soil-quay wall, three corresponding limit state functions of sliding, overturning and bearing capacity are fully defined by introducing concept of the secondary random variable. Three representative reliability methods, MVFOSM, FORM and MCS are then applied to evaluate the failure probabilities of the three limit state functions explicitly expressed in terms of the basic and secondary random variables. From the reliability analysis results, the failure probabilities obtained from the three approaches are very close to each other, and the sliding failure mode appears to be the most critical when the earthquake loading is under consideration.

For several decades in history of cartoon, it was about the era of publishing tendency based on printing technique just until few years before now. The media critic Marshall McLuhan said, "The cartoon of the 20th century have characters of printing or woodblock printing yet. Coming in to the 1980s, unlike traditional printing, cartoons of more various form appeared such as 'Moving cartoon, CD-ROM cartoon, Click-cartoon'. These phenomenons diversified and accelerated during the electronic equipments and internet that cartoon were able to be produced and distributed on not printing forms were progressing and popularizing. Like these, base on the progress of various forms in webtoon, this study will suggest 3 concept about expansion of Spatial Expressions of expression and cognition such as 'Reminiscent of The Vertical Image', 'The Vertical Panorama' and 'The Morphing into Spaces'. Also, , , the works of Doha Kang who is in the spotlight as the webtoonist of avant-garde and dynamic works, will be examined and analysed as the texts. Doha Kang was selectied as a 'Contemporary Twenty Webtoonist in Korea' from a survey of the cartoon's experts in korea by Bucheon Cartoon Information Center in 2009. He has recognized as the most experimental and be influential webtoonist from beginning of webtoon era to today. In this context, the analyses of his two works that was published in 2007, 2009 each, will helps understanding from diverse viewpoint about webtoon's expressions and structures. Furthermore, this study helps focus on values of webtoon as expansion art of Spatial Expression.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of several fractions obtained from methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$) extract of self-fermented pine needle (SFPNE) on the acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked CA release from the isolated perfused model of the rat adrenal medulla and to establish the mechanism of the most active fraction (Fr.)-induced inhibitory action on the CA release. We obtained 6 fractions from $CH_2Cl_2$ extract of self-fermented pine needle. For the ACh (5.32 mM)-evoked CA release, the following rank order of inhibitory potency was obtained: Fr.4-5 > Fr.8-11 ${\gg}$ Fr.3 > Fr.6 = Fr.7 > Fr.1-2. Fr. 4 - 5 (60 ${\mu}g/mL$) perfused into an adrenal vein for 90 min produced relatively time-dependent inhibition of the CA secretory responses to ACh (5.32 mM), DMPP (100 ${\mu}M$), McN-A-343 (100 ${\mu}M$) and high $K^+$ (56 mM). Fr. 4 - 5 itself did not affect basal CA secretion. Also, in the presence of Fr. 4 - 5 (60 ${\mu}g/mL$), the CA secretory responses to angiotensin II (AngII, 0.1 ${\mu}M$), veratridine (50 ${\mu}M$), Bay-K-8644 (10 ${\mu}M$), and cyclopiazonic acid (10 ${\mu}M$) were significantly reduced, respectively. In the simultaneous presence of Fr. 4 - 5 (60 ${\mu}g/mL$) and L-NAME (30 ${\mu}M$), the inhibitory responses of Fr. 4 - 5 on the CA secretion evoked by ACh, DMPP, high $K^+$, AngII, Bay-K-8644 and veratridine were considerably recovered to the extent of the corresponding control secretion compared with that of Fr. 4 - 5-treatment alone. The level of NO released from adrenal medulla after the treatment of Fr. 4 - 5 (60 ${\mu}g/mL$) was greatly elevated compared with the basal level. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Fr. 4 - 5 inhibits the CA secretion from the isolated perfused rat adrenal medulla evoked by stimulation of cholinergic receptors as well as by direct membrane-depolarization. It seems that this inhibitory effect of Fr. 4 - 5 is mediated by blocking the influx of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ into the adrenomedullary chromaffin cells as well as by inhibition of $Ca^{2+}$ release from the cytoplasmic calcium store, which is evoked at least partly through the increased NO production due to the activation of NO synthase. Based on these results, it is also thought that Fr. 4 - 5 isolated from $CH_2Cl_2$ extract of pine needle may contain beneficial antihypertensive components to prevent or treat hypertension.

단련용 다결정 Ni기 초내열합금은 우수한 가공성, 내산화성, 고온특성 등으로 가스터빈 연소기, 디스크, 증기발생기 전열관 등 발전용 고온부품 소재에 널리 적용되고 있다. 최근 발전설비의 고효율화를 꾀하기 위해 작동 온도를 현격히 증가시키는 기술방향으로 발전하고 있고, 소재측면에서는 기존의 초내열합금 대비 고기능성을 확보할 수 있는 차세대 Ni기 초내열합금 개발이 유럽, 미국, 일본, 중국 등을 중심으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 소재의 고온강도 (온도수용성)를 향상시키기 위해서는 통상 규칙격자 금속간화합물인 $Ni_3(Al,Ti)-{\gamma}'$상의 분율을 증가시킬 수 있지만, ${\gamma}'$상분율이 증가할 경우 용접 및 후열처리 동안 용접열영향부 (HAZ)에서 액화균열이 발생할 가능성이 높아진다. 결정립계를 따라 발생하는 HAZ 액화균열은 입계특성에 의해 크게 영향을 받을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 본 연구자들은 최근 입계 serration 현상을 단련용 합금에 도입시키는 특별한 열처리를 이론적 접근법을 통해 개발하였다. 형성된 파형입계는 결정학적인 관점에서 조밀 {111} 입계면을 갖도록 분해 (dissociation)되어 낮은 계면에너지를 갖게 됨을 확인하였으며, 입계형상 변화뿐만 아니라 탄화물 특성변화까지 유도하여 크리프 수명을 기존대비 약 40% 정도 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 이러한 직선형 입계 대비 'special boundary'로 간주되는 파형입계가 도입될 경우, HAZ 결정립크기 변화 및 액화거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고, 아울러 입계특성 제어가 용접성/용접부 품질 향상에 기여할 수 있는 가능성도 토의하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 재현 HAZ 열사이클 시험을 통해 미세구조를 정량적으로 비교하였다. 상대적으로 입계구조가 안정된 파형입계의 이동속도가 高계면 에너지를 갖는 직선형 입계보다 느려 HAZ 결정립 성장이 효과적으로 억제됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 입계 액화거동을 살펴보면, 두 시편 모두 $M_{23}C_6$, MC 등 입계탄화물 계면이 빠른 승온중 액화반응 (constitutional liquation)에 의해 입계가 액화되었으며, 이후 급냉에 의해 입계에 액상막이 존재한 흔적이 발견되었다. 최고온도별로 입계액화 폭/비율을 정량적으로 비교한 결과, 파형입계가 직선입계 대비 대체로 낮음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 때때로 액화되지 않고 잔존하는 입계 탄화물이 관찰되었다. 재현 HAZ 미세조직을 통해 Hot ductility 시험 결과를 유추하자면, 파형입계가 직선입계 보다 좁은 취성온도영역 (Brittle Temperature Range)을 나타낼 것으로 예상되어, 입계특성제어에 의해 Ni기 초내열합금의 용접성을 향상 가능성을 확인하였다.

국가지리정보체계사업을 시작으로 여러 응용분야에서 지리정보시스템을 구축하고 있으며, 특히 지자체에서는 도시정보화 차원에서 UIS(Urban Information System;도시정보시스템)를 구축하고 있다. 지자체의 업무들은 지자체의 상황에 따라 조금씩 차이를 보이지만 업무 단위로 따져 볼 때 공통적으로 수행되는 업무들이 많으며, 지리정보 관련 업무 또한 예외가 아니다. 지금까지 각 지자체의 도시정보시스템은 공통업무에 대하여 중복개발이 불가피 하였으며, 재사용성을 기대하기 어려웠다. 이런 비효율을 극복하는 방안으로 컴포넌트 기술이 대두되었으며, 컴포넌트 기술을 이용하여 업무변화에 유연하고 재활용을 극대화할 수 있는 업무 컴포넌트 개발이 필요한 시점이다. 본 논문은 지자체의 지리정보 관련 업무의 하나인 하수도 업무 중 하수배출용량 산정을 위한 하수도 관망해석 컴포넌트 설계를 제시하였다. 하수도 관망해석 컴포넌트는 하수배출용량을 산정하고, 하수 배출용량을 토대로 통수능이 부족한 하수관거를 추출하며, 통수능 부족 관거에 대하여 적정한 교체 관경 결정을 지원할 수 있도록 설계하였다 컴포넌트 설계과정은 표준업무를 지원할 수 있도록 업무분석을 수행하였으며, 이의 결과물로 하수도 관망해석 알고리즘을 도출하였으며, 알고리즘을 기반으로 하수도 관망해석 업무를 수행하는 하수도 관망해석 컴포넌트를 설계하고 설계 내용을 UML(Unified Modeling Language)로써 명세화 하였다. 현재 설계에 따라 하수도 관망해석 컴포넌트가 개발되고 있으며, 개발된 컴포넌트를 이용한 하수도 관망해석 시스템을 구축할 예정이다. 추후에는 하수도 관망해석 컴포넌트와 하수도 업무 컴포넌트와의 통합부분에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.7.0로 하고 표준(標準) EDTA 용액(溶液)을 소량(少量)넣고 8N-KOH로 pH $12{\sim}13$으로 하고 N-N 희석분말(稀釋粉末)을 지시약(指示藥) 으로써 표준(標準) EDTA 용액(溶液)으로 적정(滴定)하여 Ca 치(値)를 얻었다.
