This study was conducted during the time period of September 1997 to February 1999. in order to provide data concerning important facets of horne care nursing and the degree to which practicing hospital and public health nurses believe themselves to be competent in each area. The study subjects consisted of 610 hospital nurses, 158 public health nurses and 21 other nurses from Seoul and the province of Kyunggi. Korea. Data was collected through self-reporting questionnaires which was used by Kim et al.(1999) to evaluate the status of home health nursing and the varying ideas of self-competence that practicing nurses have. The results of the study were as follows: 1) The mean scores of perceived important components and competencies on home health nursing measured on the Likert 4 point scale were $3.15{\pm}0.36$ for importance. and $2.56{\pm}0.36$ for competency. Of the four categories regarding nursing services, the 'Nursing skill' factor had the highest importance and competency. 2) There were significantly higher scores for hospital nurses' importance components and competencies of home care nursing as compared to those scores for public health nurses. 3) The significant factors of the importance component of home care nursing listed in order of priority were 'general infection control', 'bed sore care skill', 'rehabilitation care', 'keeping maintenance of the client's confidentiality', 'malpractice', 'diabetes patient care', 'ability for problem solving' respectively. In contrast, of low priority in the importance components of home care nursing were 'referring nursing as a job to others'. 'record keeping', 'family dynamics', 'medical equipment', 'economic problems', 'environmental assessment', 'suture removal', 'multidisciplinary coordination' respectively. 4) The high priority of the degree to which practicing nurses believe themselves to be competent in home health nursing were the 'blood sugar test', 'enema skill', 'injection skill', 'skin care', 'bed sore care skill', etc. In contrast, lower competence for home care nursing as perceived by nurses were 'AIDS care', 'family violence care', 'substance abuse care', 'mental health care' respectively.

Crude aqueous extracts from dried leaves, stems, roots, and flowers from both field grown and greenhouse grown alfalfa plants inhibited alfalfa seed germination and seedling growth. The degree of inhibition was greater in the field grown plant extracts. Flowers extract of field grown plant most inhibited alfalfa germination and seedling growth. In the concentration study, the highest concentration of extract (9.0%, w/v) significantly inhibited total alfalfa seed germination by 50% as compared to control. In partitioning study using pot hydroponic culture of plant biomass into leaves, stems, root, LAR products of LWR and SLA exhibited significant variation among four species. This result support that the inhibitory effect of autotoxic substances presenting in alfalfa tissue may be possible interference with the patitioning of biomass into leaf component relative to the total biomass produced by the alfalfa plant. Toxicity of extract was not reduced by adding activated charcoal, Dowex-50W, amberlite to the extract. Toxic substances existing in most plant tissues but mainly above ground foliage are water soluble and stable and may persist in old alfalfa fields. Thus, it is recommended to remove as much as possible of the above growth parts, especially vegetative stage, before one tries to re-establish alfalfa in former field of alfalfa.

Clay minerals are common component of fault gouge and have been used to determine the fault activity age using K-Ar dating technique. We carried out XRD and K-Ar analyses of the mica clay minerals from the fault gouge along the Ulsan Fault Zone, southeastern Korea to estimate the timing of the major fault activity. Mica clay minerals for four grain size fractions of 5-2 Um, 2-1 $\mu$m, 1-0.35$\mu$m, and 0.35-0.05 $\mu$m were separated from the gouge samples in the three locations by the hydraulic elutriation and contrifugal separator. Fault gouges are composed of smectite, mica clay minerals, kaolinite, chlorite, quartz, and feldspar. The illite crystallinity of mica clay minerals is the highest in the finest grained fraction with lM polytype, indicating that the aulhigenic mica clay minerals have been concentrated in the fraction. K-Ar ages give some variation from 46 to 35 Ma (330-2), 45 to 39 Ma (16Ww), and 32 to 15 Ma (102Ws) and are the youngest in the finest grained fraction. These results suggest that the hydrothermal alteration associated with the major fault activities along the Ulsan fault Zone took place twice at 39-35 Ma and 15 Ma.

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of balance control in moving surround using head mount device and force platform and to examine the clinical usefulness of COP parameters. Fifteen patients with stroke and healthy persons were participated. COP parameters were obtained as total path distance, frequency of anterior-posterior and medial-lateral component by FFT analysis, weight-spectrum analysis in the two different conditions; (1) in comfortable standing with opened or closed eyes, (2) in virtual moving surround delivered using HMD to four different moving pattern. In virtual moving surround setting, moving pattern was composed of close-far, superior-inferior tilting(pitch), right-left tilting(roll) and horizontal rotation(yaw) movement. In all parameters, the reliebility of COP analysis system was significantly high. Also, the construct validity compared between fifteen patients with stroke and normal persons was excellent in virtual moving surround condition(p

This study was conducted to analyze the functional component contents and antioxidant activities of Cedrela sinensis extracts hydrolyzed using four different enzymes. The yield of Viscozyme extract was the highest among the samples, and all enzymatic extracts, except for the commercial glucoamylase (AMG) extract, had significantly higher total polyphenol and flavonoids contents compared to the non-enzymatic extract (p<0.05). Viscozyme extract showed the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating ability among the samples. All enzymatic extracts showed high>90% 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, and there was no significant difference between the enzymatic and non-enzymatic extracts. The reducing power of the extracts using Shearzyme or Viscozyme was significantly higher than that of the other samples (p<0.05). Therefore, the results indicated that all enzymatic extracts (especially Viscozyme extract), except for the AMG extract, showed high antioxidant activity compared to the non-enzymatic extract. These result suggested that the enzymatic extracts of C. sinensis can be used in functional foods.

Volatile flavor components in the mash of Takjus prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae nuruk were identified by using Gas Chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Twenty-four esters, 21 alcohols, 10 acids, 9 aldehydes and 4 others were found in the mash of Takju. Thirty six components including 13 esters and 12 alcohols were detected in the beginning of fermentation. Twenty nine components were more detected after second day of fermentation and 68 components were detected after 12 days of fermentation. Thirty five flavor components including 12 alcohols such as ethanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and benzeneethanol, 13 esters such as ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, ethyl butyrate and isoamyl acetate, 4 aldehydes and 6 acids were usually detected in the fermentation process. Ethanol was predominantly found in the range of $79.86{\sim}89.54%$ as a major component by using relative peak area. 3-Methyl-1-butanol, ethyl caprylate and benzeneethanol were some of the major volatile components through the fermentation respectively. Peak area of 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-hexanol, 1-dodecanol, ethyl acetate, monoethyl butanoate, acetic acid and isobutylaldehyde among the same group were higher than other components depending upon fermentation time.

Twenty-four cultivars of colored rice seeds were collected inside and outside Korea, and the antioxidant and antimutagenic activity was determined for the solvent-fractionated layers of their bran parts lipid soluble fraction, pigment containing fraction, and pigment component per se. As the serial organic solvent extraction proceeded, the overall tendency of antioxidant activities declined with increased chemical homogeneity of each fraction. This markedly showed the low antioxidativities of the pigment components from LK 1-3-6-12-1-1 and Gillimhukmi. Even all the colored rice cultivars, with considerable antimutagenic activity in 70% ethanolic extract, exhibited mutagenicity when measured with its pigment containing fraction (wx 124-163-45-7-1-1-1 and LKlB-2-1-1 being the strongest). The pigment content in each colored rice seeds decreased in the order of IR 17491-5-4-3-3>LK 1-3-6-12-1-1>LK 1D-2-12-1>RGS No.336, Elwee. In addition, a substantial difference in both chemical composition of the constituents and its amount could be found between the colored rice and cooking rice cultivars. This revealed that, compared to cooking rice, major components of organic solvent fractions from colored rice probably have long hydrocarbon chain moieties.

Currently, researches on recycling and reuse of waste energetic materials have recently gained a great attention from advanced countries due to ever tightening environmental regulations. In this study, as a part of a recycling technology, the experiments and dynamic simulation of simulated moving bed (SMB) process were performed to efficiently separate TNT and RDX from their mixture, which are main components of ammunition. In order to determine the operation zone of SMB process, the retention times of TNT and RDX were measured using HPLC at different flow rates and the adsorption equilibrium of each component was obtained by using a moment method. According to the adsorption equilibrium and the triangle theory of SMB process, four operation points were determined and separation experiments were carried out by the SMB process using the solvent consisting of acetonitrile and water. Two different mixing ratios (6:4 and 1:1) of acetonitrile and water were chosen for the experiment due to the great impact of mixing ratio of the solvent on separation. The performance of SMB process was evaluated by purity, recovery, productivity and solvent consumption. Pure TNT and RDX were successfully obtained from the SMB process and the dynamic simulation for the SMB process agreed well with the experimental results. Therefore, the dynamic model could be applied for predicting the dynamic behavior of the SMB process and designing a large scale SMB process.

Heterogeneity in antigenic composition of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from clinical specimens and in antibody response of patients infected with this fungus was investigated by immunoblotting. A considerable quantitative and qualitative difference was found in composition of the culture filtrate antigens derived from a reference strain (ATCC 13073) and 8 clinical isolates of A. fumigatus on SDS-PAGE and immunoblots. The crude CF antigen of a strain AFG7 was selected to identify the serologically reactive and specific components by immunoblotting. Out of more than 36 components separated by electrophoresis, transblotted to nitrocellulose sheet, and reacted with sera that showed a positive reaction to A. fumigatus or other fungal antigens on immunodiffusion tests, merely four or so were found useful to serodiagnosis of aspergillosis. An antigen of 82KD was found most reactive and specific component so as to be contained in the standard preparation. Several other components, for example 11KD, 26KD, 30KD and 31KD, also possessed relatively high reactivity and specificity and seemed to be worth while purifying and characterizing. Antibody binding activity (reactivity) of the antigenic components was clearly shown on immunoblots because some were faintly stained with Coomassie blue but darkly stained on immunoblots, while some others behaved contrary to them. A number of components seemed to carry not only species specific but cross reactive antigenic determinants. Immunoblotting proved very useful to identify serologically reactive and specific components that should be present in the antigen to be employed to the serodiagnosis of aspergillosis.

This study was conducted to examine the difference in yield and size of enlarged rhizome according to the kinds of native white lotuses. Four white lotuses (Nelumbo nucifera) were collected from 4 different sites, Jeonbuk Jeonju ('Garam'), Jeonnam Muan ('Hoesan'), Chungnam Buyeo ('Ihnchuisa'), and Chungnam Cheongyang('Cheongyang'). Each enlarged rhizome was planted in an area of 3.3 $m^2$ on 10. April, 2007 and digged out on 19. February, 2008. The yield of enlarged rhizome was in the order of Hoesan (3.0 kg/$m^2$), Cheongyang (2.5 kg/$m^2$), Garam (2.0 kg/$m^2$) and Ihnchuisa (1.0 kg/$m^2$). The number of enlarged rhizomes was in the order of Ihnchuisa (4.9/$m^2$), Garam (4.3/$m^2$), Hoesan (4.2/$m^2$) and Cheongyang (4.1/$m^2$). Total number of nodes in the enlarged rhizomes were much more in the order of Hoesan (17.0/$m^2$), Ihnchuisa (16.0/$m^2$), Cheongyang (15.3/$m^2$) and Garam (14.1/$m^2$). Component ratio of enlarged rhizome length below 50cm for Ihnchuisa, Garam, Hoesan and Cheongyang were 76.3%, 53.0%, 38.2% and 40.3% respectively. Native white lotus had a longer enlarged rhizome in the first node than the other nodes, and their enlarged rhizome length and width became thin. And it became thick and short from the second node of enlarged rhizome. Accordingly the amount of enlarged rhizomes 'Hoesan' was extremely much than others.
