  • Methods used for exploring marine resources and spaces include positioning a probe under water and then recalling it after a specified time. Hydro-acoustic Releasers are commonly used for positioning and retrieving of such exploration equipment. The most important factor in this kind of system is the reliability for recalling the instruments. The frequently used ultrasonic signal detection method can detect ultrasonic signals using a fixed comparator, but because of increased rates of errors due to outside interferences, information is repetitively acquired. This study presents an effective ultrasonic signal detection algorithm using the characteristics of a resonance and adaptive comparator Combined with the FSK+ASK modulator. As a result, approximately 8.8% of ultrasonic wave communication errors caused by background noise and transmission losses were reduced for effectively detecting ultrasonic waves. Furthermore, the resonance circuit's quality factor was enhanced (Q = 120 to 160). As such, the bias voltage of the transistor (Vb= 3.3 to 6.8V) was increased thereby enhancing the frequency's selectivity.

  • Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent APCs (antigen-presenting cells) and playa critical role in immune responses. Galectin-3 is a biological lectin with a beta-galactoside binding affinity. Recently, proteomic analysis revealed the presence of galectin-3 in the exosome of mature DCs. However, the expression and function of galectin-3 in DCs remains unclear yet. Methods: We used bone marrow-derived DCs of mouse and showed the expression of galectin-3 in DCs by using flow cytometry analysis and Western blot analysis. Results: Galectin-3 was determined as single band of 35 kDa in Western blot analysis. Flow cytometry analysis showed the major growth factor for DCs, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and maturing agents, anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) consistently increased the intracellular expression of galectin-3 in DCs compared to medium alone. In addition, DCs treated with maturing agents did marginally express galectin-3 on their surface. Conclusion: This study suggests that galectin-3 in DCs may be regulated by critical factors for DC function.

  • Research into the use of recreation forest accommodations, the main facilities in these forests, and user satisfaction with them has been carried out for recreation forests in the suburbs of Daegusi and Gyongsangbukdo. This study aimed at providing background material to support the increasing demand to improve the facilities of recreation forests and to educate recreation forest staff about how to provide better service. User satisfaction with recreation forests as determined through regression analysis was affected by the following factors in this order: indoor recreation, the indoor space, outdoor recreation, time satisfaction factor, and activity opportunities. The level of satisfaction is affected by the force of factors above. The order of effective offerings of accommodations is presented according to the results.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the life satisfaction of after-school classes. For this purpose, utilizing the theoretical background and the findings of previous studies, 147 questions from eight factors were selected for the 1st draft and 67 questions were selected for the 2nd draft by reviewing the validity of the contents after consulting with eleven professionals. A preparatory survey and factor analysis was then conducted using 291 people and a total of 32 questions were extracted from four sub-factors. Exploratory factor analysis by principal component analysis was conducted and orthogonal rotation was conducted by means of the VARIMAX method. The reliability of the class environment, operation management, program and teacher relationship sector were found to be very high. It is suggested that this study can be of great benefit in developing a child-centered scale and it's reliability was also found to be high.

  • Background and purpose: Health is characterized by variability and a loss variability is associated with aging and disease. Normal healthy respiratory patterns are characterized by breath to breath variability. The aim of this study is to analyze Correlation Analysis of 10 respiratory indices(include breath to breath variability) and K-POMS factors score. Method: Respiratory data were measured during 15 minutes and transferred to text file. We calculated 10 respiratory parameters in use of MATLAB7.1. After then do correlation analysis of 10 respiratory indices and K-POMS factors score. Result and conclusion: Respiratory variability is showed significant correlation with vigor factor. Respiratory rate is showed significant correlation with depression factor.

  • Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the attributing factors influencing team performance. Background: Technically, it is necessary that operators adapt themselves to computerized and advanced techniques to operate the main control rooms safely in nuclear power plant in Korea. The more main control rooms are digitalized, the more important for operators to have high team performance it is. Method: This paper analyzes team process through literatures review and elicits team performance shaping factor. Especially, the objective of this research is to elicit communication using common team performance shaping factors. Results: This study has found communication through team performance shaping factors in Main Control Room of the SMART. Conclusion: This paper can offer a starting point for team communication, which can use team performance shaping factor framework that are emerging in these new nuclear power plant. Application: As a result, I expect that the evaluation communication for MCR operator's team performance will lead the operating techniques in nuclear power industry internationally.

  • The objectives of this study were to identify the work values of the college students, and to verify the relationship between demographic variables and the work value inventory. Data were collected from college students majoring clothing and textiles(N=307). Convenient sampling was performed. The work value inventory used in this study was modified on the one designed by Meitus. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, t-test and F-test. The findings of this study were as follows : First, as a result of factor analysis, dimensions of work value consists of 8 factors, including income, achievement, status, social contribution, stability, responsibility, capability and vocational contribution. Second, job experience, grade and parent's educational background and occupation were the major variables determining students' work values.

  • Leiden), no mutation was detected in either group. Allele frequencies of A2379G and G2391 A mutations were not significantly different between CAD patients and controls. Non-Caucasian populations have a considerably lower factor Ⅴ Leiden allele frequency than Caucasian populations. Thus, it may be due to differences in the genetic background as well as environmental factors.

  • This study is concerned with the prohibition of False Hair(加笙) and a primary factor in Lee Dynasty. Assuming that the trend of simplification in false hair is closely related to the idea of practical science to be the social and ideal background of those times, we researched. The results are as follows: Constant discussions and prohibitions against false hair were designed to differentiate between classes but to discard a variety. Goge(高笙) came to be a big problem during the reign of king Sung-Jong(成宗) and after on arguemt for the usage of false hair was in vogue king Young-Jo(英祖) and Jung-Jo(正祖). Finally, the wearing of Hooge(後笙) came to be a national regulation in manners and customs, and also brought the realization of prohibition against the usage of false hair. It is believed that the performance and the effect of the prohibition against the usage of false hair have a close relation with the idea of practical science.
