An ultrasonic assisting vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) system was designed to promote the heat and mass transfer in membrane distillation (MD) process. Both the effects of operating conditions and ultrasonic parameters to permeation flux in this process were investigated; the heat and mass transfer mechanism was also being discussed in this paper. The results showed that the performance of VMD process was improved significantly by ultrasonic assisting. The permeation flux was boosted at a certain feed solution temperature, pressure at permeate side and feed solution velocity whether or not to PP and PTFE. The results also indicated that ultrasonic power and frequency also was the key factor affecting the mass and transfer efficiencies. The feed side transfer coefficient ($K_f$), corresponding to ultrasonic power ($K_f=4.406-0.026{\times}P+7.824{\times}10^{-5}{\times}P^2$) and ultrasonic frequency ($K_f=0.941+0.598{\times}f-0.012{\times}f^2+6.283{\times}10^{-5}f^3$), was obtained and employed in the modeling of ultrasonic assisting VMD process. The modeling results showed that the calculated value of $K_f$ aligned with experimental results well. Both variations of temperature polarization coefficient (TPC) and concentration polarization coefficient (CPC) were studied based on the obtained data. The results showed that both TPC and CPC were improved obviously by the ultrasonic parameters.

The developmental capacity of bovine oocytes under three different culture systems was investigated in this experiment ; One was culture in TCM199 with bovine oviductal epithelial cells(BOEC) for in vitro culture, another was culture in TCM199 with BOEC for 2 days and then transfer of 4~8cell embryos to rabbit oviduct(RO) and the other was transfer of 1 or 2cell embryos to RO for in vivo culture. And the other concern of this experiment was to investigate the effect of culture period and transfer site on recovery. Immature bovine oocytes were cultured in TCM199 with granulosa cells for 22-24hrs and then fertilized in vitro using frozen-thawed semen treated with BO-caffine and BO-BSA. Fifteen to 18hrs after in vitro fertilization oocytes were cultured in TCM199 with BOEC or transferred to RO for 5 days. The rate of development to the morula or blastocyst was higher in transfer of 1 or 2cell embryos to RO(23.1%) than culture in TCM199 with BOEC(11.7%). But, there was no difference between transfer of 1 or 2cell embryos and transfer of 4~8cell embryos to RO(12.8%). Recovery under different culture periods in RO was significantly higher in 90~95hrs(70.1%) than 122~125hrs(50.9%, p<0.05) and recovery significantly increased when oocytes were transferred deeper in RO(2.5cm>, 47.7% ; 2.5~4.5cm, 63.9% ; 4.5cm<, 77.3%, p<0.05). The results show that transfer of 1 or 2cell embryos to RO is an effective means of supporting the further development of in vitro matured and fertilized bovine oocytes than culture in TCM199 with BOEC or transfer of 4~8cell embryos to RO, and recovery from RO increases when oocytes are transferred deeper and incubated shorter in RO.

Purpose: This study aimed to define and clarify learning transfer in nursing. Methods: This study used a hybrid model to analyze the concept of learning transfer in nursing through three phases. For the theoretical phase, learning transfer attributes were identified through a scoping literature review. In the fieldwork phase, in-depth focus group interviews were conducted to develop attributes. Purposive sampling was performed with ten participants(five nursing students, two nurses, three nursing faculty members). In the analysis phase, the attributes and final analysis of learning transfer in nursing were extracted and integrated from the previous two phases. Results: According to the analysis, learning transfer was represented in two dimensions with eight attributes. The development of competency dimension had three attributes: 1) theory acquisition, nursing skills, professional attitude, 2) integration, and 3) analysis competency. The competency change dimension had five attributes: 1) appropriateness in patient care, 2) proficiency in patient care, 3) satisfaction, 4) achievement, and 5) confidence. Conclusion: The concept analysis might provide a basic understanding of learning transfer, a development framework toward a measurement of nursing learning transfer and effective educational nursing strategies.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the level of uncertainty, transfer anxiety, and to identify the participant's characteristics those influence them by targeting the mothers of transferred patients from the pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) to the general ward. Methods: This study was a descriptive correlational study. The participants were 94 mothers of children who had been scheduled to transfer from the PICU. Results: The item mean score for uncertainty was 2.16 (4 scale), transfer anxiety was 2.15 (4 scale). There were statistically significant positive correlation between uncertainty and transfer anxiety (r=.591). The level of uncertainty significantly differed according to education level (p=.035), duration of marriage (p=.043), and monthly income (p=.022). The level of transfer anxiety significantly differed according to religion (p=.044), duration of marriage (p=.043), and severity of illness at transfer (p=.047). Conclusion: In order to reduce the transfer anxiety and uncertainty of the mothers of patients, efficient communication with medical staff and clear informations are needed to reduce ambiguity. Also, standard protocol should be developed for improving communication among medical staffs.
