  • The water celery, Oenanthe Javanica DC., is a perennial herb which mostly grows on a damp ground or a streamside. The water celery is widely distributed in Korea, Japan, china, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and the other countries. From ancient times, the water celery has widely been used for food or medicine. In herbal medicine, the water celery has a medical actions which are defervescence, diuresis, jaundice, edema, hypotensor, haematic, angiostasis, sthenia, appetizer. Recently, studies on the water celery are briskly being conducted. For example, studies on the morphologic property and classifications of origin of the water celery, studies on the chemical constituents of the water celery which contains vitamins, proteins and amino acids, studies on the bio activities of the water celery which contains flavonoids. However, there is not studies of hematological changes in dogs administrated the water celery until now. Consicontly, this study was conducted to observed the hematological changes in dogs administrated excessive amount of the water celery crude juice for a long period. In this studies, all dogs showed significantly decrease of the PCV and Hb, and increase of the WBC, GSH and reticulocytes, but did not significantly change in the RBC, MCV, MCHC and Met-Hb.

  • This study was performed to investigate the corrosion of metal fasteners in waterborne preservative-treated wood. Of all the metal tested, steel exhibited the greatest amount of corrosion across all preservatives and exposure conditions whereas stainless steel was totally inert. Galvanized steel corroded at a much lower rate compared to steel and the corrosion of brass was negligible. Among the preservatives, CCA-Type B was the most corrosive system tested. The sequence for the average corrosivity across all metals was: CCA-type B>CCA-Type C${\geq}$ACC${\geq}$CCA-Type A. Across all metals and retentions the salt formulations were more corrosive than the oxide and the corrosion was increased with the increse in the amount of preservative loadings. The amount of corrosion was also increased with the increase in exposure relative humidity (RH) across all metals and presevatives However, at the 60% RH exposure condition, the corrosion of metals was very negligible. Consequently, it can be concluded that across all metals oxide-type preservatives should be used to prevent the corrosion problem of metal fasteners in contact with treated wood and the use of steel nail preservative-treated wood should be avoided without distinction of end-use location, i.e., exterior or interior, and the use of stainless steel or at least brass nail in damp exterior condition was strongly recommended.

  • Byeon Jeung[辨證], which is to differentiate symptoms is a process of assessing the patient's condition. And like any other differentiation system, a ceratin pathological perspective is embedded. In Onbyeonghak(溫病學), new Byeon Jeung systems were designed to complement the insufficient, existing perspectives on acute epidemic febrile diseases. Oguktong(吳鞠通)'s Samchobyeonjeung(三焦辨證) is one of these newly designed systems. Though the meaning of Samchobyeonjeung varies among Onbyeong(溫病) researchers, they stand on common grounds of differentiating damp-heat disease[濕熱病]. However, Oguktong(吳鞠通) clearly demonstrated this system on epidemic febrile diseases. Researchers have acknowledged the importance of Oguktong(吳鞠通)'s approach, but thorough analysis of the subject has been insufficient. In this study, I have primarily studied the meaning of Samchobyeonjeung by analyzing "Onbyeongjobyeon(溫病條辨)", followed by assessment of negative and positive aspects.

  • Hot Plate is the major unit that it used to remove damp of wafer surface, to strength adhesion of photoresist(PR) and to bake coated PR in FAB process of semiconductor. It is necessary to guarantee the performance of Hot Plate(HP). Therefore, in this study designed and developed the reliability system of HP to measure and estimated thermal uniformity and flatness in temperature setting amplitude $0~250^{\circ}C$. We developed the techniques that measures and analyzes thermal uniformity using infrared thermal vision, and compensates measuring error of flatness using laser displacement sensor. For measuring flatness, we specially makes the measurement stage of 3 axes which adopts the precision encoder. The allowable error of measuring technique is less than thermal uniformity, $\pm 0.1^{\circ}C$ and flatness, $\pm 1mm$. It is expected that the developed system can measure from $\Phi$210(wafer 8") to $\Phi$356(wafer 12") and also can be used in performance test of the Cool Plate and industrial heater, etc.

  • Objectives Migratory pathogenic factor(六淫) occupies an important position in the etiology of Korean Medicine. This paper shows how Dampness, one of Migratory pathogenic factor(六淫), is explained in Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑). And, based on this, we will figure out how to make a judgement of Dampness through diagnosis. Method 1. Collect parts of Dampness mentioned in Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑). 2. From the collection, extract contents about mechanism and symptom of Dampness, which is considered necessary for diagnosis. 3. Put all the extraction together, suggest the diagnosis element which can be criteria of judgement of Dampness through diagnosis. Result & Conclusions The occurrence of Dampness come from a wet climate and environment externally, and overeating of greasy food and digestive disorder internally. There are many different kinds of symptoms throughout the body cause of poor circulation. Dampness is classed as Cold-dampness, Damp-heat, and Dampness-phlegm depending on characteristic symptoms, and mainly shows musculoskeletal disease and digestive troubles. Typical symptoms are pitting edema, distention and fullness, moderate and thready pulse, volume of perspiration increase, loose feces, urine volume decrease, pain of joint and muscle, restriction of movement, etc.

  • The extracellular matrix is a critical component of every human tissue. ECM not only functions as a structural component but also regulates a variety of cellular processes such as cell migration, differentiation, proliferation, and cell death. In addition, current studies suggest that ECM is critical for the pathophysiology of various human diseases. ECM is composed of diverse components including several proteins and polysaccharide chains such as chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. Each component of ECM exerts its own functions in cellular and pathophysiological processes. One of the interesting recent findings is that ECM is involved in inflammatory responses in various human tissues. In this review, we summarized the known functions of ECM in neuroinflammation after acute injury and chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nerve systems.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the comfort and fabric hand characteristics of selected lining fabrics made of acetate and polyester. The comfort of the linings was determined by human subjects wearing suit blazers constructed with different lining materials in an environmental chamber controlled at $30.6^{\circ}C$ air temperature and 50% relative humidity. The hand characteristics of the lining fabrics were determined by five trained panelists using standard fabric reference samples. The effect of lining fabrics on the subjects' thermal sensations was not statistically significant. But the subjects voted warmer when wearing the polyester surah lined blazer or the polyester taffeta blazer than wearing the acetate blazers. The results of the subjective comfort evaluation indicated that, in general, the subjects rated the acetate linings significantly less sticky, clammy, damp, and non-absorbent than the polyester linings. Acetate surah was rated a little higher than the other acetate fabrics on these comfort descriptors. The results of the subjective hand evaluation indicated that the lining fabrics rated low on the geometric and mechanical hand characteristics and rated moderate on noise. Acetate surah scored the highest on most of the hand characteristics, whereas, polyester taffeta scored the lowest.

  • This paper presents numerical and theoretical studies of acoustic wave interactions in slightly compressible liquids within piezoelectrically driven inkjet print heads. The interconnected flow channels may cause jet crosstalk, resulting in poor printing quality. It should be reduced by modifying the channel structure with the acoustic wave interactions considered. Compressible gas flow driven by the sudden movement of a top wall in the channel is calculated using Flow3D and is validated with the narrow gap theory. Limited compressibility model of the Flow3D is employed to calculate pressure waves of slightly compressible ink flow. It is found that reducing restrictor width can damp out the jet crosstalk by inhibiting the pressure wave propagation. The degree of crosstalk has been quantified using the maximum values of cross-correlations between neighboring channels and a critical channel dimension for acceptable crosstalk has been proposed. This finding is verified by drop visualization experiments using silicon-micromachined piezo inkjet print heads that are fabricated by our group.

  • Paederus dermatitis caused by the contact of staphylinid beetles(Paederus fuscipes) body fluid(pederin) is characterized by linear erythematous vesicopustular lesions. An outbreak of dermatitis occurred at apartments located at the river side after rainy season in summer 1994. Authors surveyed 189 cases(94 males and 95 females) from 103 households reported at the apartment office in Kimcheon on September 1994. The results are as follows; 1. The causative agent of skin diseases was identified as Paederus fuscipes. 2. The attack rate of paederus dermatitis was 52.6% by households, and the residents in the middle floors of the apartments were attacked more frequently than those in other floors. All ages were affected. 3. The skin lesions developed by paederus were distributed on face(38.2%), neck(18.5%), shoulder and trunk(11.0%), arm and leg(10.3%), and back(6.6%). In 21 cases(15.4%), skin lesions were developed in multiple sites. 4. The apartments attacked by paederus was located near the sand and damp soil along the bank of the river. The fodder cultivating farm was located near the upper reaches of river, and a rice field and grape garden in the backyard of the apartment.
