We study the ski wear which are compared at the materials and the designes and their human physiological and phychological response during exercise in a cold and air-conditioned enviroments. Five men exercises in the experiment room with four types of ski-wears : two of one-piece and two of two-piece : two of special material and two of a normal material, respectively. We keep the environment at $-5^{\circ}C$ and speed of 3.6 mile/hr during the measurement of 13 points, which is a mean model of the Muju ski-resort at January 1996. We conclude the followings : 1. The ski-wear with special materials have higher than the normal type at mean skin temperature and rectal temperature. 2. Changes of temperature withing the clothes during the exercise is small, but the humidity within the clothes abruptly increases because of the weight loss. 3. Type A ski-wear with the special material has $295.5g/m^2hr$ weight loss, which is higher, and type D ski-wear is smaller 4. The special material shows comfortable in the thermal sensation. 5. In the design aspect of the ski-wears, the two-piece type ski-wear shows higher skin temperature and temperature & humidity within the clothes than the one-piece type due to the effect of the multiplicity.

Solar energy has been experiencing renewed interest because of the recent economical crisis in Korea. Absorption cooling is one of the promising solar energy utilization technologies. In this study the dynamic performance of a solar driven absorption cooling machine(SDACM) was numerically investigated. The simulated machine is a commercially available water/LiBr single effect absorption chillers driven by hot water from solar collectors. The present study has been directed to investigate the dynamic behavior of a solar cooling system including an absorption chiller, solar collector, a hot water storage tank, fan coil units, and the air-conditioned space. The operation of the system was simulated for 9 hours in varying operation conditions. The variation of temperature and concentration in the system components, and that of heat transfer rates in the system were obtained. It was also found that the room temperature was maintained near the desired value by controlling the mass flow rate of hot water.

A new 5th generation adhesive system(ONE-STEP) has been supplied which operators can apply to conditioned tooth surfaces by one simplified step. The purpose of this study was to determine whether different methods of adhesive application and various air drying duration after applying adhesive affect the shear bond strength of composite resin to dentin, and to evaluate the adhesive pattern of composite resin and dentin under SEM. Seventy-seven extracted human molar teeth were cleaned and mounted in palstic test tubes. The occlusal dentin surfaces were exposed with Diamond Wheel Saw and smoothed with Lapping and Polishing Machine (South Bay Technology Co., U.S.A.). Teeth were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=11), In experimental A group, adhesive was applied to dentin with agitation for 20 sec. In experimental N-A group, adhesive were continuously applied to dentin for 20 sec. Also control and experimental 1, 2, 3, 4 groups were dried for 10, 0, 5, 20, 30 seconds after applying adhesive, respectively, Adhesives were light cured for 10 sec. A gelatin capsule 5mm in diameter was filled with Aelitefil$^{TM}$ composite resin, placed on the treated dentin surface and light cured for 40 see, from three sides, All specimens were stored in distilled water at room temperature for 24 hours. The shear bond strengths were measured using a universal testing machine(AGS-1000 4D, Japan) at a crosshead speed of 5mm/min. An one-way ANOVA and LSD test were used for statistical analysis of the data. For SEM evaluation, seven specimens were made and sectioned. Representive postfracture and seven specimens were mounted on brass stubs, sputter-coated with gold and observed under SEM. The results were as follows : 1. The shear bond strength of experimental A group which adhesive were applied to dentin with agitation was higher than that of experimental N-A group (continuous application), and there was significant difference between two groups (p<0.01). 2. The interface between composite and dentin according to different application methods showed close adaptation in experimental A group and showed tinny gap in experimental N-A group. 3. The shear bond strength accoding to various air drying duration was the lowest value(7.57${\pm}$2.60 MPa) in experimental 1 group, so there was significant difference between experimental 1 group and other four groups (p<0.05). But there was no significant difference of shear bond strength between four groups (p>0.05). 4. The interface between composite and dentin according to various air drying duration showed close adaptation in control group and tinny gap in experimental 3 and 4 groups. But experimental 1 and 2 groups showed $30{\mu}$ and 6 - $10{\mu}m$ thick gaps, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect on the removal of dentinal smear layer and morphological changes of reduced dentin surfaces by various dentin surface conditioners. Thirty-two healthy human premolars extracted due to periodontal or orthodontic reasons were used. The teeth were cross-sectioned to expose dentin at the middle portion of the crown with diamond rotary saw. The specimens were then divided into 8 groups. The sectioned dentin surfaces in group 1 to 4 were grinded with No. 400 grit silicone abrasive paper and those in group 5 to 8 were cut with #700 carbide bur under air-water spray. The grinded or cut dentin surfaces were conditioned with 3% $H_2O$, Dentin Conditioner(GC Inter. Corp., Japan), and Scotchprep(3M Dent Prod., U.S.A) according to manufacturer's directions. All the specimens were dried in room temperature for 48 hours, and gold-coated with Eiko ion coater(Eik-engineering Co.), and observed in Hitachi S-450 Scanning electron microscope at 15-25 KV. The following results were obtained; 1. The dentin surfaces grinded with the silicon abrasive paper were rougher in texture and heavier in amount of smear layer than those cut with the carbide bur. 2. Scrubbing of 3% $H_2O_2$ was not effective in removing dentinal smear layer. 3. 20-second conditioning of Dentin Conditioner (GC Inter. Corp) resulted in the removal of a significant amount of the smear layer without removing the tubular plugs and dissolving the peritubular dentin. 4. Scotchprep removed the smear layer very effectively. But at the same time it dissolved the peritubular dentin. 5. Irrespective of the uses of the silicon carbide abrasive paper or the carbide bur the morphological changes of dentin surfaces treated with the same conditioning agents were similar.
