This article reviews the effects of VDT tasks on multiple resources for processing and storage in short-term working memory. MD and PD method were introduced toevaluate the modalities (auditory-visual) in the multiple resources model. The subjects conducted 2 sessions of 50 minites VDT tasks. Before, between and after VDT tasks, MD, PD task performance scores and CFF(critical flicker frequency0 values were measured. The review suggested that the modalities of human information processing in working memory were affected by VDT tasks with different task contents.

A series of experiments was carried out while using totally six female subjects in order to evaluate their psycho-physilolgical variations during their work with VDT both subjectively and objectively compared to those of ordinary office type work and speech communication type work. The results led by the experiment were as follows; the effects with data input work on the subjects from the view point of psychological load was larger than those with the ordinary office work. Oral communication between subjects gave the positive effects upon each subjects to reduce their psychological and mental burden.

This study examines the effect of luminance contrast ratio of character on readability and visual fatigue during an hour-long reading session while using a tablet PC in ambient environments having low luminance limited to $25cd/m^2$. Experiments were conducted with four patterns of the tablet's luminance contrast ratio of characters, namely 1:2.5, 1:4.5, 1:6.5, and 1:8.5, in low ambient luminance of $9cd/m^2$ and $25cd/m^2$. The obtained results show that the characters can be easily read at the luminance contrast ratio of character of 1:8.5 under surface luminance of $25cd/m^2$. Visual fatigue was evaluated through a subjective survey of symptoms. Physical, psychological, and visual fatigue were observed at a surface luminance of $9cd/m^2$, whereas solely visual fatigue was felt at a surface luminance of $25cd/m^2$. By assessing the physical fatigue using the value, it has been found that smaller the luminance contrast ratio of character, greater is the CFF variation rate. Furthermore, readability is poor and visual fatigue can be observed when the surface luminance is lower than the ambient luminance. However, readability can be improved by increasing the luminance contrast ratio of character to a value of 1:8.5. Thus, in low luminance environments, luminance contrast ratio of characters can affect readability and fatigue. Consider providing the full form of "CFF" so that the acronym can be used unambiguously throughout the manuscript.

The purpose of this study is conducted to evaluate the psycho-physiological effects of the dynamic lighting on VDT workers and to establish the dynamic lighting design guides. The main experimental factors are changes of illuminance. There were five conditions including 1) ripid change, 2) slow change at 300lx .approx. 500lx, 3) a static illuminance level at 300lx, and 4) rapid chante, 5) slow change at 200lx .approx. 300lx. The ranges of change were set typical illuminance level for the simple visual task requirement and reasonable to a VDT task ; 200-300-500lx. The psycho-physiological measurements used were EEG, R-R interval, CFF, near point accommodation, feeling perceived fatigue, and work performance. Analysis of psycho-physiological factors shows that higher illumination level conditions are more affirmative effects than lower on VDT workers under 500lx except for the results of feeling perceived fatigue. And about the speed of changes of illuminance level. The conditions of slow change were better than the others in terms of the work performance as well as psycho-physiological results.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of rest to reduce work load of night shift workers for night shift work. The experiment was carried out 10minutes preparing time, 45minutes first work, 10minutes first rest, 45minutes second work, 10minutes second rest between 2 and 4 o'clock that the lowest physiological function of workers. The methods of rest set up as four patterns (1) non-action rest (2) non-action rest + listening music (3) action rest + non-action rest, (4) action rest + non-action rest + listening music. For the measurements of experiment, heart rates(R-R interval), critical flicker fusion frequency(CFF), blood pressure, oral temperature, reaction time and error rates were considered as criteria for work performance. As a result, action rest + non-action rest and action rest + non-action rest + listening music were more effective to reduce work load additional work than non-action rest and non-action rest + listening music.

The experiment for decomposing CFF-113 by a honeycomb catalyst was carried out in this study. Benzene and water were used as decomposing agents. The reaction of decomposition was from 600 .deg.C to 900.deg.C. Benzene was injected at 900.deg.C and then the catalyst was heated to 1100.deg.C by the heat of combustion of it. The electric power of the reactor was turned off when the combustion was started. The reaction temperature, however, was main trained and the decomposition of CFC-113 continued at that time. It was found that the highest decomposition efficiency was 80% at the ratio of benzene/CFC-113 of 20/1 in this experiment.

신경감각적 작업의 대표적인 작업중의 하나인 트랙킹작업을 대상으로 작업전후에 취 하는 휴식방법이 작업시간과 작업자의 각성 레벨에 미치는 영향을 명백히 하기 위하여 피실험자로서 8명의 남자대학생을 선발하여 휴식시간에 bio-feedback법을 5분간 이용, 10분간 이용, 이용하지 않았을 경우의 3종류의 휴식방법을 취하게 한후 작업자의 심신 반응과 작업수행도를 측정하였다. 결과로서 뇌파, 심박수 및 CFF값의 변동에서는 휴식 방법에 따라 작업수행시에 유의한 차를 나타내었고 작업수행도에서도 심신반응 패턴과 상관관계를 보여 주었다. 이러한 결과로부터 본 연구의 대상으로 선정한 Tracking작업 과 같은 신경감각적 작업을 수행할 때의 휴식을 취하는 방법 그중에서도 특히 Bio- feedback법을 이용한 심신의 리럭스제이션에 의한 효과가 작업수행시의 각성 레벨의 저하 방지에 유효하게 작용하며 작업후의 회복효과를 한 층 더 높이는 작용을 한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

여과가 진행됨에 따라 막의 표면에서 발생하여 여과선속을 저하시키는 케이크층의 형성은 막을 이용한 고-액 분리공정에서 발생하는 가장 큰 문제점의 하나로서 이는 막 분리공정의 경제성을 좌우하는 중요한 인자가 된다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 유체와 막 사이의 상대속도를 증가시켜 여과속도를 향상시키는 십자흐름 여과, 즉 CFF(crossflow filtration)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 심자흐름 여과에서도 막과 유체 사이의 상대속도의 증가에 한계가 있고 또한, 막의 기공보다 작은 입자가 막의 기공 내에 침투하여 막을 오염시키는 현상을 예측하기 어렵기 때문에 여과기의 설계에 있어서 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이에 오염된 막을 재생시키기 위하여 기계적.화학적인 여러 가지 방법들이 개발되고 여과선속을 향상시키는 방법이 꾸준히 연구되어 분리막 기술의 경제성을 향상시켜 왔다. 본 연구에서는 매우 안정된 유동의 하나로서 막 표면의 전단력을 향상시키는 데에 효과가 있다고 알려진 Taylor와류를 응용한 회전막 여과기를 사용하여 여러 가지 크기의 입자에 대한 여과실험을 수행함으로써 이러한 유동이 케이크의 형성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 여과선속에 영향을 미치는 여러 매개인자를 알아보고 실험결과를 간단한 모델식에 적용해 봄으로써 막의 저항을 예측할 수 있는 모델식으로의 개선 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

PAN-4A composite ion exchanger was more selective for Sr ion than other cations and PAN-KCoFC composite ion exchanger has much higher ion exchange capacity for Cs ion than other cations. The ion exchange capacities obtained from Dubinin-Polanyi equation were 3.93 meq/g for Sr ion and 1.50 meq/g for Cs ion using PAN-4A and PAN-KCoFC ion exchangers, respectively. The modified Dubinin-Polanyi model fit the experimental data accurately in multi-component system. The effective surface diffusivities $(D_{s, cff})$ for Sr and Cs ions of PAN-4A and PAN-KCoFC ion exchangers were slightly increased with the different particle sizes.
