프레셔미터 시험은 지중 내 설치된 프루브를 통해 지반에 압력을 가하여 지반의 변형특성을 평가하는 시험 방법으로, 주로 경험적인 상관관계를 통하여 지반의 변형계수를 평가하는 여타의 현장 시험방법들과 달리 하중에 따른 변위 곡선에 기초하여 지반의 변형특성을 직접적으로 평가할 수 있는 시험 방법이다. 그러나, 자가 굴착 방식을 사용하더라도 시험체의 관입에 따른 교란이 발생하기 때문에 초기 재하 시험곡선으로부터 지반의 변형특성을 평가하는 것은 부적절할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 대안으로 하중 제하-재재하 곡선을 이용하는 방법 등이 제안되어 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 공내 재하 압력 및 공벽의 변위 측정 시에 발생하는 데이터의 분산과 계측 장비의 해상도 문제로 인하여 하중 제하-재재하 곡선으로부터 최대 전단탄성계수와 같은 미소 변형 영역에서의 변형 특성을 평가하기에는 많은 제약이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 하중 재재하 곡선의 회귀분석 및 이를 바탕으로 한 외삽법을 사용하여 미소 변형 영역에서 지반의 최대 전단탄성계수를 직접적으로 평가할 수 있는 해석 방법을 제안하였다. 또한, 하중 재재하 시 원지반에 비하여 증가하는 응력 수준을 초기 응력 수준에 맞도록 고려할 수 있는 방법을 함께 제안하고 있다. 대형 압력 토조를 이용하여 다양한 상대밀도 및 응력 조건을 가지는 모래 지반을 조성한 뒤, 프레셔미터 시험 및 벤더 엘리먼트 시험을 수행하였고, 제안된 해석 방법의 적절성을 기존의 경험식들 및 벤더 엘리먼트 시험에서 얻어진 값들과 비교, 검증하였다.
The success of the family planning program in Korea is reflected in the decrease in the growth rate from 3.0% in 1962 to 2.0% in 1971, and in the decrease in the fertility rate from 43/1,000 in 1960 to 29/1,000 in 1970. However, it would be erroneous to attribute these reductions entirely to the family planning program. Other socio-economic factors, such as the increasing age at marriage and the increasing use of induced abortions, definitely had an impact on the lowered growth and fertility rate. Despite the relative success of the program to data in meeting its goals, there is no room for complacency. Meeting the goal of a further reduction in the population growth rate to 1.3% by 1981 is a much more difficult task than any one faced in the past. Not only must fertility be lowered further, but the size of the target population itself will expand tremendously in the late seventies; due to the post-war baby boom of the 1950's reaching reproductive ages. Furthermore, it is doubtful that the age at marriage will continue to rise as in the past or that the incidence of induced abortion will continue to increase. Consequently, future reductions in fertility will be more dependent on the performance of the national family planning program, with less assistance from these non-program factors. This paper will describe various approaches to help to the solution of these current problems. 1. PRACTICE RATE IN FAMILY PLANNING In 1973, the attitude (approval) and knowledge rates were quite high; 94% and 98% respectively. But a large gap exists between that and the actual practice rate, which is only 3695. Two factors must be considered in attempting to close the KAP-gap. The first is to change social norms, which still favor a larger family, increasing the practice rate cannot be done very quickly. The second point to consider is that the family planning program has not yet reached all the eligible women. A 1973 study determineded that a large portion, 3096 in fact, of all eligible women do not want more children, but are not practicing family planning. Thus, future efforts to help close the KAP-gap must focus attention and services on this important large group of potential acceptors. 2. CONTINUATION RATES Dissatisfaction with the loop and pill has resulted in high discontinuation rates. For example, a 1973 survey revealed that within the first six months initial loop acceptance. nearly 50% were dropouts, and that within the first four months of inital pill acceptance. nearly 50% were dropouts. These discontinuation rates have risen over the past few years. The high rate of discontinuance obviously decreases the contraceptive effectiveness. and has resulted in many unwanted births which is directly related to the increase of induced abortions. In the future, the family planning program must emphasize the improved quality of initial and follow-up services. rather than more quantity, in order to insure higher continuation rates and thus more effective contraceptive protection. 3. INDUCED ABORTION As noted earlier. the use of induced abortions has been increase yearly. For example, in 1960, the average number of abortions was 0.6 abortions per women in the 15-44 age range. By 1970. that had increased to 2 abortions per women. In 1966. 13% of all women between 15-44 had experienced at least one abortion. By 1971, that figure jumped to 28%. In 1973 alone, the total number of abortions was 400,000. Besides the ever incre.sing number of induced abortions, another change has that those who use abortions have shifted since 1965 to include- not. only the middle class, but also rural and low-income women. In the future. in response to the demand for abortion services among rural and low-income w~men, the government must provide and support abortion services for these women as a part of the national family planning program. 4. TARGET SYSTIi:M Since 1962, the nationwide target system has been used to set a target for each method, and the target number of acceptors is then apportioned out to various sub-areas according to the number of eligible couples in each area. Because these targets are set without consideration for demographic factors, particular tastes, prejudices, and previous patterns of acceptance in the area, a high discontinuation rate for all methods and a high wastage rate for the oral pill and condom results. In the future. to alleviate these problems of the methodbased target system. an alternative. such as the weighted-credit system, should be adopted on a nation wide basis. In this system. each contraceptive method is. assigned a specific number of points based upon the couple-years of protection (CYP) provided by the method. and no specific targets for each method are given. 5. INCREASE OF STERILIZA.TION TARGET Two special projects. the hospital-based family planning program and the armed forces program, has greatly contributed to the increasing acceptance in female and male sterilization respectively. From January-September 1974, 28,773 sterilizations were performed. During the same time in 1975, 46,894 were performed; a 63% increase. If this trend continues, by the end of 1975. approximately 70,000 sterilizations will have been performed. Sterilization is a much better method than both the loop and pill, in terms of more effective contraceptive protection and the almost zero dropout rate. In the future, the. family planning program should continue to stress the special programs which make more sterilizations possible. In particular, it should seek to add the laparoscope techniques to facilitate female sterilization acceptance rates. 6. INCREASE NUMBER OF PRIVATE ACCEPTORS Among the current family planning users, approximately 1/3 are in the private sector and thus do not- require government subsidy. The number of private acceptors increases with increasing urbanization and economic growth. To speed this process, the government initiated the special hospital based family planning program which is utilized mostly by the private sector. However, in the future, to further hasten the increase of private acceptors, the government should encourage doctors in private practice to provide family planning services, and provide the contraceptive supplies. This way, those do utilize the private medical system will also be able to receive family planning services and pay for it. Another means of increasing the number of private acceptors, IS to greatly expand the commercial outlets for pills and condoms beyond the existing service points of drugstores, hospitals, and health centers. 7. IE&C PROGRAM The current preferred family size is nearly twice as high as needed to achieve a stable poplation. Also, a strong boy preference hinders a small family size as nearly all couples fuel they must have at least one or more sons. The IE&C program must, in the future, strive to emphasize the values of the small family and equality of the sexes. A second problem for the IE&C program to work. with in the: future is the large group of people who approves family planning, want no more children, but do not practice. The IE&C program must work to motivate these people to accept family planning And finally, for those who already practice, an IE&C program in the future must stress continuation of use. The IE&C campaign, to insure highest effectiveness, should be based on a detailed factor analysis of contraceptive discontinuance. In conclusion, Korea faces a serious unfavorable sociodemographic situation- in the future unless the population growth rate can be curtailed. And in the future, the decrease in fertility will depend solely on the family planning program, as the effect of other socio-economic factors has already been maximumally felt. A second serious factor to consider is the increasing number of eligible women due to the 1950's baby boom. Thus, to meet these challenges, the program target must be increased and the program must improve the effectiveness of its current activities and develop new programs.
The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times.

식물생명공학 연구에 있어서 모델 식물인 Arabidopsis thaliana (애기장대)와 아주 유사한 염생 식물인 salt cress (Thellungiella halophila 또는 Thellungiella parvula)는 고염 스트레스에 대하여 강한 내성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고염에 저항성을 가지는 유용유전자를 선별하기 위하여, 200 mM NaCl을 처리한 T. halophila 또는 T. parvula 식물로부터 mRNA를 분리하여 cDNA library를 작성하였다. Full length cDNA library를 Agrobacteria-methods 형질전환 방법에 필요한 binary vector pool을 작성하고 Arabidopsis에 형질전환 시켰다. 형질전환되어진 Arabidopsis를 항생제 Basta 선별을 통하여 형질전환체 pool을 구축하였다(305,400 종자). 이와 같은 방법을 통해 구축 되어진 pool중에서 168,500 종자를 이용하여 고염 스트레스 조건하에서 종자 발아율과 뿌리 생장 촉진되는 현상이 나타나는 내염성 형질전환체를 1차 선별하였다(7,157 개체; 4.24%). 1차 선별된 형질전환체 중에서 1,551개체를 이용하여 2차 선별을 수행하여 내염성 형질전환체 165 개체를 확보하였다(10.6%). 선별된 형질전환체 중 대부분 개체는 고염 스트레스에 대응하여 종자 발아 및 뿌리 생장 모두 야생형보다 촉진된 표현형을 보였다. 그 중 몇 몇의 형질전환체는 야생형에 비하여 특이적인 기관 발달 현상이 나타났다. 예를 들면, 꽃과 줄기의 발달이 야생형과는 다른 표현형을 보이는 형질전환체가 선별되었다. 이렇게 스트레스에 내성을 가지는 형질전환체로부터 유전자 분리 방법을 통하여 해당 유용유전자를 확보할 수가 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후 halopyte 식물체를 이용하여 고염 뿐만 아니라 다양한 환경스트레스(건조, 냉해, 고열, 호르몬 등) 신호전달에 관여하는 유용유전자를 보다 쉽게 확보하는 방법을 제시함으로서, 환경재해극복에 관여하는 신호전달 기작을 보다 쉽게 이해할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Chronic illness requiring attention and management during a long period of time puts great burden onto patients, their family and society. For patients with chronic illnesses, providing social support is the most important, and the fundamental support comes from their spouses. Amount and quality of support from spouses seems to differentiated according to the sex of patients. Female patients tend to believe that their spouses are not very supportive. Therefore, the researchers assessed the burden of husbands of female arthritis patients to discover the factors that result in greater burden. Also, they developed a theoretical model of husbands′ care for their wives through a qualitative research into husbands′ experience. Method 1: The study material was 650 female arthritis patients registered in an arthritis clinic. The questionnaire about the disease experience of female arthritis patients and the burden of husbands were sent. Returned questionnaires numbered 210(32.3%) and 27 were excluded because of inadequate answers. The remaining 183 questionnaires were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 51 years and the mean age of spouses was 55 years. The mean marital period was 28 years. The average duration since diagnosis was 9.1 years. Education level was varied from primary school to graduate school, and average income/month was 1,517,300 won. Method 2: Initial questionnaire studies on the burden of husbands were performed. Among 183 responding husbands, 23 consented to participate for a qualitative research. Data was obtained by direct and telephone interviews. The mean age of participants was 58 years, and the educational level and socioeconomic status also varied. Result: 1. Husbands′ burden: The average burden was 57.68 with a range of 6-96. 2. Burden and general characteristics: The husband′s burden correlated with the age of the patients, numbers in the family, therapy methods, patient′s level of discomfort, patient′s disease severity, patient′s level of dependence and the husband′s understanding of the level of severity. 3. Linear correlation analysis on burden: The husbands′ burden is explained in 22.5% by husband′s recognition of level of severity and husbands′ age. 4. There were four patterns of the burden on husbands: both objectve burden and subjective burden were high(pattern I), both of objectve burden and subjective burden were low(pattern II), objective burden was high but subjective burden was low(pattern III), objective burden was low but subjective burden was high(pattern IV). The pattern was correlated with the family income, educational level of the patients and their husbands, therapy methods, patient′s level of discomfort, patient′s disease severity, patient′s level of dependence and husband′s understanding of level of severity. 5. The core category of the caring experience of the husbands with arthritis patients was "companionship". The causal factor was the patients′ experience due to symptoms : physical disfigurement, pain, immobility, limitation of house chores, and limitation of social activities. Contextural factors are husbands′ identification of housework and husbands′ concern about the disease. The mediating factors are economic problems, fear of aging, feeling of limitation and family support. The strategy for interaction is mind control and how to solve emotional stress. The "companionship" resulted from caring activities, participation of household activities, helping patients′ to coping with emotional experience. 6. Companionship is established through the process of entering intervention, and caring state of mind. Entering intervention is the phase of participation of therapy and involvement of houseworks. The caring phase consists of decision on therapy, providing therapy, providing direct care, and taking over the household role of wife. Through caring phase, the changing phase set a stage in which husbands consolidate the relationship with their wives, and are reminded of the meaning of marriage. As a result, in changing phase, husbands′ companionship is enhanced. In conclusion, nursing care of chronic illnesses should include a family member especially the spouse. All information on disease shoud be provided to patients and whole family member. Strong support should also be provided to overcome difficulties in taking over role of other sex. Then the quality of life of patients and families will be much improved.
인장 및 압축 하중하에서 electro-pullout 시험법과 음향방출법을 이용하여, 표면 처리된 steel fiber. 탄소 그리고 유리 섬유/시멘트복합재료의 계면 물성과 미세파괴구조를 평가하였다. 기계적 interlocking을 증가시킨 steel fiber 복합재료의 계면전단강도가 미처리 또는 neoalkoxy zirconate (Zr) 처리된 steel fiber 복합재료보다 더 향상되었음을 보여주었다. 이것은 존재 가능한 수소결합 또는 공유결합에 비해 기계적 interlocking이 계면 물성에 더 많은 영향을 주기 때문으로 고찰된다. 시멘트복합재료를 경화하는 동안에, 접촉 저항도는 초기에는 급격히 감소하였으나, 이후 증가치가 둔화되는 현상을 보였다. Zr-처리 및 기계적 interlocking을 향상시킨 steel fiber 복합재료의 접촉저항은 미처리의 경우에 비해 더 나중 단계에서 무한대로 증가하였다. 기계적 interlocking이 향상된 steel fiber 복합재료의 계면 파괴에 의한 음향방출 신호의 수가 미처리 또는 Zr 처리된 복합재료에 비해 휠씬 많이 나타났다. 기계적 맞물림이 향상된 복합재료의 pullout과 마찰신호에 대한 응향방출 파형이 미처리에 비해 크게 나타났다. Dual matrix composite (DMC)에서, 압축하중 하에서의 음향방출 에너지와 파형이 인장하중 하에서의 에너지와 파형에 비해 더 크게 나타났는데, 이것은 시멘트 복합재료가 압축응력을 잘 견디는 세라믹 성질에 기인한 것으로 고찰된다. 유리섬유 복합재료의 인장 시험에서는 수직균열이 나타났고, 반면에 압축 시험에서는 buckling 균렬현상이 관찰되었다.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to assess the agreement between job physical risk factor analysis by ergonomists using ergonomic methods and physical examinations made by occupational physicians on the presence of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremities. Background: Ergonomics is the systematic application of principles concerned with the design of devices and working conditions for enhancing human capabilities and optimizing working and living conditions. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent injuries and physical and emotional stress. The major types of ergonomic injuries and incidents are cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), acute strains, sprains, and system failures. Minimization of use of excessive force and awkward postures can help to prevent such injuries Method: Initial data were collected as part of a larger study by the University of Utah Ergonomics and Safety program field data collection teams and medical data collection teams from the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH). Subjects included 173 male and female workers, 83 at Beehive Clothing (a clothing plant), 74 at Autoliv (a plant making air bags for vehicles), and 16 at Deseret Meat (a meat-processing plant). Posture and effort levels were analyzed using a software program developed at the University of Utah (Utah Ergonomic Analysis Tool). The Ergonomic Epicondylitis Model (EEM) was developed to assess the risk of epicondylitis from observable job physical factors. The model considers five job risk factors: (1) intensity of exertion, (2) forearm rotation, (3) wrist posture, (4) elbow compression, and (5) speed of work. Qualitative ratings of these physical factors were determined during video analysis. Personal variables were also investigated to study their relationship with epicondylitis. Logistic regression models were used to determine the association between risk factors and symptoms of epicondyle pain. Results: Results of this study indicate that gender, smoking status, and BMI do have an effect on the risk of epicondylitis but there is not a statistically significant relationship between EEM and epicondylitis. Conclusion: This research studied the relationship between an Ergonomic Epicondylitis Model (EEM) and the occurrence of epicondylitis. The model was not predictive for epicondylitis. However, it is clear that epicondylitis was associated with some individual risk factors such as smoking status, gender, and BMI. Based on the results, future research may discover risk factors that seem to increase the risk of epicondylitis. Application: Although this research used a combination of questionnaire, ergonomic job analysis, and medical job analysis to specifically verify risk factors related to epicondylitis, there are limitations. This research did not have a very large sample size because only 173 subjects were available for this study. Also, it was conducted in only 3 facilities, a plant making air bags for vehicles, a meat-processing plant, and a clothing plant in Utah. If working conditions in other kinds of facilities are considered, results may improve. Therefore, future research should perform analysis with additional subjects in different kinds of facilities. Repetition and duration of a task were not considered as risk factors in this research. These two factors could be associated with epicondylitis so it could be important to include these factors in future research. Psychosocial data and workplace conditions (e.g., low temperature) were also noted during data collection, and could be used to further study the prevalence of epicondylitis. Univariate analysis methods could be used for each variable of EEM. This research was performed using multivariate analysis. Therefore, it was difficult to recognize the different effect of each variable. Basically, the difference between univariate and multivariate analysis is that univariate analysis deals with one predictor variable at a time, whereas multivariate analysis deals with multiple predictor variables combined in a predetermined manner. The univariate analysis could show how each variable is associated with epicondyle pain. This may allow more appropriate weighting factors to be determined and therefore improve the performance of the EEM.
