  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate usefulness of aid table in ERCP operation. Fifteen patients (mean age: $76.0{\pm}11.4$) and Six Staffs are took part in the questionnaire survey. We evaluated usefulness of aid table as follows: comfortableness, psychological stability, satisfaction from extreme satisfaction as 1 point to extreme satisfaction as 5 point by questionnaire. In the results of comfortableness, the patients reported uncomfortable as $1.7{\pm}0.5$ point at ERCP operation without aid table but they are reported comfortable at using aid table as $4.4{\pm}0.5$ point (p-value${\leq}0.000$). In the psychological stability, the patients have satisfaction ($4.8{\pm}0.4$ point) for aid table. In the addition, the patients felt satisfaction ($4.9{\pm}0.3$ point) for aid table. These results are considered that to use of aid table will give a useful to ERCP operation.

  • The accuracy of point load apparatus is depend on point to point coaxial fitting. Also, the estimation of applied point load using the pressure gauge frequently lead to erroneous results. An improved point load apparatus has been developed in this study by mounting linear bearing on polished support rod, and eccentric error of point to point axis has been sustained less than 0.1 mm even under series of extreme work load conditions. Two digital displacement gauges are attached to measure the distance from point to point with sample specimen. A load cell mounted at the end of upper conical platen measure the applied net load on sample instead of preassure gauge. Total of 107 point load tests has been achieved to assure the quality and performance of developed apparatus. This exercise turned out to be successful.

  • Modern Ocean wave forecasting systems predict the mean sea state, as characterized by the wave spectrum, in a box of size ${\Delta}x{\Delta}y$ surrounding a grid point at location x. It is shown that this approach also allows the determination of deviations from the mean sea state, i.e. the probability distribution function of the surface elevation. Hence, ocean wave forecasting may provide valuable information on extreme sea states.

  • We introduce a class $L_{\sigma}*({\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma})$ of functions defined by $f*S_{\sigma}(z)$ of f(z) and $S_{\sigma}(z)=z/(1-z)^{2(1-{\sigma})}$. The present paper is to determine extreme point, coefficient inequalities., distortion Theorem and radius of starlikeness and convexity for functions in $L_{\sigma}*({\alpha},{\beta},{\gamma})$. And we give fractional calculus.

  • Higher utilization of warehouse space can be achieved by using automated mobile racking systems. Therefore, those systems may be employed for factories or distribution centers as a good option of increasing the storage capacity. In this paper, travel-time models are developed to estimate the average performance of the system assuming randomized storage. Expected travel times are determined for both single- and dual-command cycles. Two extreme input/output-point locations are considered. Some numerical results obtained from the models are given.

  • Tomas Gutiérrez Alea, internationally famous cuban director, made the film Up to a certain point with a purpose of criticizing the existence of the extreme male chauvinism as 'machismo' in cuban society of 80's despite of many changes of cultural and social paradigms through 60's and 70's. The director gathered the themes and topics of the films like Lucia, One way or another, and Teresa's portrait and analyzed them to present alternatives. The way of approaching to solve that kind of social problems that Alea proposed to the spectator is taking time to think of the problems with a way of "The Viewer's Dialectic". Identification with the protagonist of the film(thesis) and alienation from him(antithesis) could make the audience generalize the diverse aspects of the problem and then one might get an insight(synthesis) to live the life with more satisfaction that is supposed to be a social function of the film as arts according to the director of the film Up to a certain point.

  • When we design coastal and harbol facilities deepwater design wave and wind speed are the important design parameters. Especially, the analysis of these informations is a vital step for the point of disaster prevention. In this study, we made and an extreme value analysis using a series of deep water significant wave data arranged in the 16 direction and supplied by KORDI real-time wave information system ,and the wind data gained from Wan-Do whether Station 1978-2003. The probability distributions considered in this characteristic analysis were the Weibull, the Gumbel, the Log-Pearson Type III, the Normal, the Lognormal, and the Gamma distribution. The parameter for each distribution was estimated by three methods, i.e. the method of moments, the maximum likelihood, and the method of probability weight moments. Furthermore, probability distributions for the extreme data had been selected by using Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test within significant level of 5%, i,e. 95% reliance level. From this study we found that Gumbel distribution is the most proper model for the deep water design wave height off the southwest coast of Korea. However the result shows that the proper distribution made for the selected site is varied in each extreme data set.

  • The external conditions for estimating dynamic wind loads of wind turbines, such as the turbulence, the extreme wind, the mean velocity gradients and the flow angles, are simulated over GangWon Wind Energy Test Field placed in one of the most complex terrain in Korea. Reference meteorological data has been gathered at a height of 30m from 2003 to 2004 with a ultrasonic anemometer. The absolute value of the spectral energy are simulated and the verification of this prediction has been carried out with comparing to the experimental data. The most desirable place for constructing new wind turbine are resulted as Point 2 and Point 3 due to the lower value of Turbulence Intensity and the higher value of wind resource relatively.

  • AGNPS model is applied in this study to analyze the changes of non-point source pollutant according to AMC condition using probable rainfall. Probable rainfall of H-dam area by Gumber's extreme value distribution is computed through frequency analysis for each return period. 35 coarse grids are subdivided into 134 find grids of finite differential network to analyze peak flow soil loss quantity and nutrients of study area and the modified CN estimation equation shows good result about rainfall events-peak flow relationship. And as the consequence of estimation of soil loss quantity for each rainfall event soil loss quantity shows 120%-170% of actual soil loss quantity Regression analysis for the observed and calculated values of flow T-P AMC has an important effect on nutrients concentration of outflow and it if found that the excessive fertilization under AMC III condition may cause eutrophication by nutrients because the range of increase of outflow concentration appears relatively high.

  • A new methodology to analyze and quantify regional meteorological drought based on annual precipitation data has been introduced in this paper In this study, based on posterior probability estimator and Bayesian classifier in Spatial Analysis Neural Network (SANN), point drought probabilities categorized as extreme, severe, mild, and non drought events has been defined, and a Bayesian Drought Severity Index (BPSI) has been introduced to classify the region of interest into four drought severities. In addition, to estimate the regional drought severity for the entire region, regional extreme, severe, mild, and non drought probabilities which are the areal averages of point drought probabilities over the region has been computed and applied. In this study, the proposed methodology has been applied to analyze the regional drought of South Korea during 1967-1996 years. The drought severity for the whole South Korea was defined spatially at each year and each year was classified in a drought severity criterion. The results may be useful for water manager to understand the South Korean drought with respect to the spatial and temporal variation.
