Nursing's traditional concern for human well being includes concern for health promotion. Until recently textbooks of preventive medicine, public health and community health nursing have defined health prevention- the prevention of disease and health protection or maintenace, but not health promotion. Lack of clear definitions inhibit effective communication among health related disciplines. Therefore, this studys task was the analysis and definition of the concept of health promotion using Walker & Avant's concept analysis methodology. This characteristics of the concept of health promotion are 1) orientation toward well - being, 2) empowering, 3) subjectivity, 4) change and 5) expanded connecteness. Antecedent of health promotion are 1) attaining of a healthy state, 2) having purpose and will to act, 3) persistent and realistic behaviour. The consequences of health promotion are 1) prolonged life, 2) self-actualizing potential, 3) increased well-being and a high level quality of life. The future direction of health promotion research should include that identification of the differences in the definition of between health professionals and health clients and research related to nursing theory of health promotion.

In this research work attempts were made to study the bonding of thermoplastics with adhesives using solar energy. In order to study the curing behaviour necessary experiments were conducted under varying conditions of temperature, exposure time and power. The cured samples were then studied under the optical microscope before subjecting to tensile testing in order to study their mechanical properties. The fracture surfaces were further studied under the Scanning Electron Microscopy in order to study the microstructural changes that are taken place during curing. From the present study it is evident that curing under higher solar energy temperature, generally improves bond strength and quality of the adhesive joints when compared to other modes of curing process expect the microwave curing process.

This paper presents an application of Kohonen neural networks to assess the dynamic security of power systems. The dynamic security assessment(DSA) is an important factor in power system operation, but conventional techniques have not achieved the desired speed and accuracy. The critical clearing time(CCT) is an attribute which provides significant information about the quality of the post-fault system behaviour. The function of Kohonen networks is a mapping of the pre-fault system conditions into the neurons based on the CCTs. The power flow on each line is used as the input data, and an activated output neuron has information of the CCT of each contingency. The trajectory of the activated neurons during load changes can be used in on-line DSA efficiently. The applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated using a 9-bus example.

The damping force of shock absorber in an automobile is determined by the components which construct the S/A. In this study we investigate the individual effect of these components on damping force. In addition, opening of important valve doling compression and tension cycle due to up-down reciprocation movement is also researched. Thus we are to strictly control the properties and tolerance of components having important effects on tile damping force and to produce S/A of better quality.

This work analyses the effects of electrical conductivities of dielectric and cobalt amount on output parameters such as metal removal rate and the surface roughness value of cemented carbides cut by wire electrical discharge machining(W-EDM). Especially, the cracking behaviour of W-EDM machined surface and optimal machining condition of three kinds of cemented carbides, which have different chemical composition of tungsten carbide and cobalt are also tested. Experimental result shows that increases in cobalt content and electrical conductivity of the dielectric affect the metal removal rate and substantially worsen the final surface quality as a greater quantity of solidified metal deposits on the eroded surface.

Diamond deposition by muti-cathode DC PACVD has been investigated. Five cathodes were independently connected to their own DC power supplies. The voltage and current of each cathods were varied up to 700 V and 3.5 A, respectively. The plasma formation and the diamond deposition behaviour on a substrate of 3 inch in diameter were investigated by optical emission spectroscopy, SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The plasma formed by five cathodes was non-uniform, which was depended on the geometry of cathods array. The growth rate and the quality of diamond film were closely related to the spatial distribution of the plasma.

The roughness models have developed to describe the grinding behaviour and predict the final quality of workpiece. The model forms of the plunge grinding process are generally established with initial and steady state model form in accordance with the accumulated metal removal. The steady state roughness model form are based on the grinding condition and specific parameters are used to show the influence of it according to the grinding process such as the equivalent chip thickness and accumulated metal removal. However, the models have been developed in past are not considered the effect of changing the grinding conditions in the same batch. In this paper, the roughness model form to consider the effect of changing grinding condition is proposed and the performance of proposed model is evaluated based on the experimental results.

This study deals with the application of knowledge-based engineering and a methodology for the assessment & measurement of reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety of industrial systems using fault-tree representation. A fuzzy methodology for fault-tree evaluation seems to be an alternative solution to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional approach. To improve the quality of results, the membership functions must be approximated based on heuristic considerations. Conventionally, it is not always easy to obtain a system reliability for components with different individual failure probability density functions(p.d.f.), We utilize fuzzy set theory to solve the adequacy of the conventional probability in accounting and processing of built-in uncertainties in the probabilistic data. The purpose of this study is to propose the framework of knowledge-based engineering through integrating the various sources of knowledge involved in a FTA.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are self-organizing, self-healing networks which provide wireless communication among vehicular and roadside devices. Applications in such networks can take advantage of the use of simultaneous connections, thereby maximizing the throughput and lowering latency. In order to take advantage of all radio interfaces of the vehicle and to provide good quality of service for vehicular applications, we developed a seamless flow mobility management architecture based on vehicular network application classes with network-based mobility management. Our goal is to minimize the time of flow connection exchange in order to comply with the minimum requirements of vehicular application classes, as well as to maximize their throughput. Network simulator (NS-3) simulations were performed to analyse the behaviour of our architecture by comparing it with other three scenarios. As a result of this work, we observed that the proposed architecture presented a low handover time, with lower packet loss and lower delay.

The hetero junction on dielectrics and ferrite for LTCC was prepared by using NiCuZn ferrite. The shrinkage behaviour of ferrite tapes in combination with a dielectric tape was investigated. The characteristics of NiCuZn ferrite were investigated using XRD (X-ray diffractometer), Dilatometer, FE-SEM (Field emission scanning electron microscope), EDS (Energy dispersive spectrometer). NiCuZn ferrite calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ had a good apparent density and initial permeability of magnetic properties. The shrinkage rate of the NCZF700 ferrite and dielectric material was similar. The multilayer revealed dense, uniform morphologies with excellent interface quality. Diffusion of hetero junction such as dielectric and ferrite was not occuring at $900^{\circ}C$.
