Objective : Printed in early Chosun dynasty Hyangyakjipseongbang quoted several medical books that were published at that time. Yuyaoyuanfang was printed in Yuan dynasty, China and imported to Chosun dynasty. However, Yuyaoyuanfang was vanished in history and another Yuyaoyuanfang, which is now-exist[Guisixinkan-Yuyaoyuanfang], was printed in Japan. In Hyangyakjipseongbang, Yuyaoyuanfang are mentioned 31 times but Yuyaoyuanfang quoteded in Hyangyakjipseongbang is quite different from Guisixinkan-Yuyaoyuanfang. Therefore, we had interests of those differences and tried to find out them in article. Method : We use the method of comparing quotations of Yuyaoyuanfang in Hyangyakjipseongbang with Guisixinkan-Yuyaoyuanfang. Result : 4 of 31 prescriptions of Yuyaoyuanfang quoteded in Hyangyakjipseongbang does not exist in Guisixinkan-Yuyaoyuanfang and several parts such as symtoms, herbs, taking methods of prescriptions are different from each other. Conclusion : Hyangyakjipseongbang prove the fact that Guisixinkan-Yuyaoyuanfang is not original form of Yuyaoyuanfang.

An analysis framework for vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction system under turbulent wind is proposed based on the relevant theory of wind engineering and dynamics. Considering the fluctuating properties of wind field, the stochastic wind velocity time history is simulated by the Auto-Regressive method in terms of power spectral density function of wind field. The bridge is represented by three-dimensional finite element model and the vehicle by a multi-rigid-body system connected by springs and dashpots. The detailed calculation formulas of unsteady aerodynamic forces on bridge and vehicle are derived. In addition, the form selection of wind barriers, which are applied as the windbreak measures of newly-built railways in northwest China, is studied based on the suggested evaluation index, and the suitable values about height and porosity rate of wind barriers are studied. By taking a multi-span simply-supported box-girder bridge as a case study, the dynamic response of the bridge and the running safety indices of the train traveling on the bridge with and without wind barriers are calculated. The limit values of train speed with respect to different wind velocities are proposed according to the allowance values in the design code.

Computational cost is one of the major obstacles for detailed risk analysis of structures. This paper puts forward a methodology for efficient probabilistic seismic loss assessment of structures using the Endurance Time (ET) analysis and the first-order reliability method (FORM). The ET analysis efficiently yields the structural responses for a continuous range of intensities through a single response-history analysis. Taking advantage of this property of ET, FORM is employed to estimate the annual rate of exceedance for the loss components. The proposed approach is an amalgamation of two analysis approaches, ET and FORM, that significantly lower the computational costs. This makes it possible to evaluate the seismic risk of complex systems. The probability distribution of losses due to the structural and non-structural damage as well as injuries and fatalities of a prototype structure are estimated using the proposed methodology. This methodology is an alternative to the prevalent risk analysis framework of the total probability theorem. Hence, the risk estimates of the proposed approach are compared with those from the total probability theorem as a benchmark. The results indicate a satisfactory agreement between the two methods while a significantly lower computational demand for the proposed approach.

As public awareness of the various warning signs of malignancy increases, so does the concern evoked by the self identified finding of mass in the head and neck area. Not all the palpable masses are always significantly abnormal, but any nontender mass especially to the adult is significant enough to warrent further full investigation and follow up, the object of which should be to determine the possibility of malignancy and urgency of treatment. Approach to the diagnosis of the neck mass is so important in that it affects decision regarding further evaluation would lead to the determination of the most efficacious mode of therapy, eventually to the good prognosis. So, it should be emphasized that approach to the diagnosis of neck mass should be planned, systematic and thorough, this begins with the taking careful history following performance of complete examination of the head and neck especially to the nasopharynx, tongue base, pyriform sinus, palatine tonsil and larynx. Then a number of laboratory and radiologic studies are available, following triple endoscopy under general anesthesia and blind biopsy if needed. The most important rule to keep is that any biopsy procedures should be delayed to the last modality of effort to the diagnosis and if it should be done, under the plan of radical neck dissection.

Nepal has huge potential of hydro and other renewable energy resources including solar energy. However, only 70% of the total population have access to electricity despite the long history of hydropower development in the country. Still more than 37% population in rural areas and around 73% population in Karnali Province, one of the least developed provinces, are living without access to electricity despite taking several initiatives and implementing various policies by government supporting electrification in off-grid rural areas. Government together with donors and private sector has extensively been promoting the off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) echnology in un-electrified areas to increase electricity access. So far, more than 900,000 households in rural areas of Nepal are getting electricity from stand-alone solar PV systems. However, there are many challenges including financial, technical, institutional, and governance barriers in Nepal. This study based on extensive review of literatures and author's own long working experiences in renewable energy sector in Nepal, shares the best practices and lessons of off-grid solar PV for increasing access to electricity in rural areas of Nepal. This study suggests that flexible financial instruments, financial innovations, bundling of PV systems for concentrating energy loads, adopting standards process, local capacity building, and combination of technology, financing and institutional aspects are a key for enhancing effectiveness of solar PV technology in rural areas of Nepal.

Compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity can be clinically diagnosed by careful history taking, physical examination of the involved nerve. Electrodiagnosis for the suspected nerve informs severity of compression of the involved nerve and indicates specific site of the lesion. In the early stage of the disease, non-operative treatment generally cures the symptom, however, if the conservative treatment fails, confirmation of the exact site of the lesion should be preceded before the operation. Recently, ultrasonography, as a supportive tool for the diagnosis of compressive neuropathy has increasing popularity for its ability to find space occupying lesion, anatomical change of the nerve, and the pathologic change in the nerve itself. For the successful treatment of the compressive neuropathy, these various diagnostic tools have to be introduced in the orthopaedic clinic.

History of the fisheries education in the secondary schools in Japan has began in 1901, and it greatly contributed to the development of fishing industry in Japan. Also this education system affected to her some neighboring countries. e.g. Korea, Taiwan, etc. According to the fundamental change of the education system after cease of the 2nd World War, fisheries middle schools were rearranged to fisheries high schools. and the activity of the graduates widely contributed to push up the total catch of fish in Japan to the first world rank since the 1970s. Nevertheless, the education in fisheries high schools is confronted to much problems, because of the rapid decrease of the man power who desires to work in the field of fisheries especially onboard fishing vessels in accordance with the rapid progress of industrialization and service economization. Such problems are taking place not only in Japan but also right now in Korea. To find out some countermeasure against the problems. the auther studied on the present status and the problems confronting in the education of fisheries high schools in Japan through some references. with heartful desires this study to be able to contribute to the sucessive development of the education on fisheries high schools and also the productivity of fisheries in Korea.

I have outlined the history of Korean Fisheries Co - coperatives and its economic and noneconomic contribution to Korean Fisheries. But in order to overcome new economic world trend that is emerging now with the beginning of the WTO Korean Fisheries Co - operatives should change itself. It can be summarlized as follows. (1) The early Korean Fisheries Co - operatives was monopolized by Japanese under the Japanese colonial rule. (2) The modern Korean Fisheries Co - operatives was organized in 1962. 4. 1 by Korean government. (3) Korean Fisheries Co - operatives was weak in democratic management because of socioeconomic bad condition. (4) In spite of the dependence on the government financial aid Korean Fisheries Co - operatives has contributed to the fisheries development. (5) At the aid of the credit undertaking economic project was enlarged greatly, (6) With the close of the UR talks we cannot but open out fisheries market. So we are in condition that must enforce out fisheries compatability. especially, \circled1 Improvement of fisheries structure to enlarge management scale \circled2 Increase of productivity in fishing ground \circled3 The continuous endeavour to positive marine resourses making (7) Reorganization of fisheries, for example fisheries system or fisheries structure (8) Reexamination of the organization and operation of Korean Fisheries Co - operatives. And taking a proper step to improve their weak points. (9) The strengthening of the activity of investigation and study in centural Fisheries Co - operatives (10) It needs a special study to establish a few target or object in the management of Fisheries Co - operatives. When we could solve these ones mentioned above our fisheries will develop again.

The authors experienced a non-painful, elevated, dome-shaped lesion on lower lip in Korean male of 22-year-old and a non-painful, elevated, dome-shape lesion on left side of mouth floor in Korean female of 36-year-old. And diagnosed the lesions as a mucocele and a ranula respectively, based on the comprehensive evaluation of data obtained from history taking, clinical and radiologic examination and histopathological findings. In these cases, the authors removed mucocele and ranula using the pulsed Nd:YAG laser with advantage of good hemostatic effect, and so we could minimize improper tissue destruction during operation. The excisional wounds of lower lip and mouth floor had a good healing process without any symptom of pain and any signs of bleeding and infection.
