The purpose of this study is to suggest the measures to measure the shopping satisfaction and to increase the shopping satisfaction. We conducted surveys and conducted empirical analysis on Chinese tourists visiting duty free shops in Busan using direct survey method. The results of this study are as follows. First, factor analysis for subdividing the duty - free choice attribute was analyzed as store attribute, product attribute, and service attribute. Second, based on this analysis, the effect of each attribute on shopping satisfaction showed statistically significant positive results. Third, the analysis of the relative size of the effects of analytic attributes on satisfaction showed that store attributes were the highest. That is, the quality of duty-free shops, services, and products increases overall shopping satisfaction. Therefore, it can be said that the strategy implementation that improves the quality of the attributes affecting the satisfaction is expected to contribute to the improvement of the management performance, and suggests the management implications for the activation of the operation of the duty - free shop. Future studies will be more meaningful if more variety of shopping places are studied.

$(Ni, Zn)Fe_2O_4$ powders were prepared through self-propagating high temperature synthesis reaction and the effects of initial zinc oxide powder size and oxygen pressure on the magnetic properties of the final combustion products were studied. The ferrite powders were combustion synthesized with iron, iron oxide, nickel oxide, and zinc oxide powders under various oxygen pressures of 0.5~10 atmosphere after blended in n-hexane solution for 5 minutes with a spex mill, followed by dried at 120 $^{\circ}C$ in vacuum for 24 hours. The maximum combustion temperature and propagating rate were about 1250 $^{\circ}C$ and 9.8 mm/sec under the tap density, which were decreased with decreasing ZnO size and oxygen pressure. The final product had porous microstructure with spinel peaks in X-ray spectra. As the ZnO particle size in the reactant powders and oxygen pressure during the combustion reaction increase, coercive force, maximum magnetization, residual magnetization, squareness ratio were changed from 1324 Oe, 43.88 emu/g, 1.27 emu/g, 0.00034 emu/gOe, 37.8$^{\circ}C$ to 11.83 Oe, 68.87 emu/g, 1.23 emu/g, 0.00280 emu/gOe, 43.9 $^{\circ}C$ and 7.99 Oe, 75.84 emu/g, 0.791 emu/g, 0.001937 emu/gOe, 53.8 $^{\circ}C$ respectively. Considering the apparent activation energy changes with oxygen pressure, the combustion reaction significantly depended on initial oxygen pressure and ZnO particle size.

The fission neutron reactions of $^{47}Ti(n.p)^{47}Sc$ and $^{93}Nb(n,{\alpha})^{90m}Y$, along with epicadmium neutron reaction of $^{96}Zr(n,{\gamma})^{97}Zr$ were used for the simultaneous determination of Ti, Nb and Zr in synthetic mixture. Prior to neutron irradiation, Ti, Zr and Nb in the mixture were separated together in one group through the cation exchange column of Dowex $50{\times}8$ resin using 0.5 M ${\alpha}$-hydroxy-iso-butyric acid as the eluent. After irradiation of the eluate the product nuclides, $^{97}Zr$, ^{47}Sc$ and ^{90m}Y$, were eluted sequentially through the same column with 0.5 M ${\alpha}$-HIBA, 0.5 M ${\alpha}$-HIBA-1 N HNO_3 and 0.5 M ${\alpha}$-HIBA-2 N HNO_3$ solution, respectively. The gamma-ray spectrometry was used for the measurement of the gamma-ray activities of the eluted nuclides. The detection limits of Nb, Ti and Zr were found to be 0.2 %, 0.01 % and 0.002 %, respectively.

An experimental investigation is made to determine the mechanism of the aquation of $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ in $Hg^{2+}$ aqueous solution. The progress of reaction is followed UV/vis-spectrophotometrically by a measurment of the absorbance at a specific wavelength of Co(III) complex as a function of time. The aquation of cis-$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ and trans-$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ has been found to be first order and second order with respect to the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ catalyst, respectively. It has been found that the reaction rate for aquation of the trans-form is faster than that of cis-form, and that the product of either cis-form or trans-form is always in the mixture ratio of 97 % to 3 %. Plausible reaction mechanism is proposed for the reaction system on the basis of kinetic data and activation parameters. Theoretical rate equation derived from the proposed mechanism is consistent with the observed one.

Phospholipase D (PLD) is known to play an important role in a variety of cells. However, little is known about $CoCl_2-mediated$ PLD signaling. In this study we demonstrated for the first time that $CoCl_2$ stimulates PLD activity and increases expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is known to mediate inflammatory reaction. $CoCl_2-induced$ PLD activity was assessed by measuring the formation of $[^3H]$ phosphatidylbutanol (PtdBut), the product of PLD-mediated transphosphatidylation, in the presence of 1-butanol. To study mechanism of PLD signaling induced by $CoCl_2$, U87 human glioblastoma cells were stimulated by $CoCl_2$ and regulators of PLD activity induced by $CoCl_2$ were investigated using several inhibitors of signaling proteins. Moreover, PLD activation by $CoCl_2$ increased not only expression of COX-2 protein but also COX-2 promoter activity. In summary, these results suggest that $CoCl_2$ increases expression of COX-2 protein via PLD in human U87 glioblastoma cells.

Through alkaline hydrothermal activation processes, Na-A type zeolite was synthesized as a single phase with funnel-glass waste from a television tube factory. The autoclaving was performed in a closed teflon vessel in the range of 80~95$^{\circ}$C. The silica-rich solution as a starting material was hydrothermally synthesized with quartz in IN NaOH by heating 350uC under the pressure of 1,500 atm. $NaAlO_2$ was made from NaOH and Al(OHh by heating 95$^{\circ}$C for 2-3 hours and the molar ratios of it were $Na_2O/Al_2O_3$ = 1.4 and $H_2O/Na_2O$=8. The equi-dimensional A type zeolite (1-2 11) was formed by the simple mixing of the silica-rich solution, glass waste and $NaAlO_23$ for 1-3 hours-heating at $80^{\circ}C$. The characterization of the reaction product shows Na-A as a single phase. The synthesized zeolite has cuba-dodecahedral form and $Ca^{2+}$ ion exchange capacity of the Na-A was in the range of 215-220 mequiva1entilOO g.

We sought to define the main motivational factors promoting consumption of Prunus mume products. We surveyed both specialized high-volume consumers and public consumers, and focused on consumption of and preferences for Prunus mume and Prunus mume products. We investigated how products were preferentially consumed, purchase experience, purchase location, purchase price, consumption experience, factors important in a purchase decision, preference factors, dissatisfaction factors, consumption outlook, comments on new processed foods, and activation of consumption. A total of 534 responses were received and data were analyzed using the SAS program (Version 9.1) of the Frequency test; Chi-square test was used to detect significant factors. A greater percentage of high-volume(compared with low-volume) consumers processed personal products at home. The public consumer tended to buy commercial products. However, public consumers who were older, who had higher incomes, and who were heads of households, tended to both buy commercial products and to prepare foods at home. The common purchase methods used by high-volume consumers were internet and direct marketing, but the public consumer frequented department stores and hypermarkets. High-volume consumers observed that commercial products were expensive, and such consumers seemed to be particularly cost-sensitive. The decisive factor triggering purchase decisions in high-volume consumers was the geographical origin of the fruit, whereas the public consumer was more concerned with taste. In public, positive factors were that the product was good for health and had a pleasant taste. Some of those surveyed complained of a lack of variety in Prunus mume products and that the amount of Prunus mume in certain products was low. To promote and increase consumption, convenient-to-eat products with healthy images are needed.
