The tunnel structure is widely used for transportation in the mountain area. To reduce the duration of construction and thus the expense, a tunnel excavation is often performed simultaneously with a tunnel lining in in-situ. However, cracking of the tunnel lining may occur arising from the vibrating impact in the excavation process. The present study concerns the role of steel fiber and nylon fibers in tunnel lining concrete to reduce the vibrating impact. As a result it was found that both the nylon fiber and steel fiber improved the durability and physical properties of concrete.

This is a report of gastric metastases secondary from a primary small cell carcinoma of the lung in two men. Blood-borne metastatic involvement of the stomach by cancer is a rare entity. According to the reports in the literature the prevalence of metastasis to the stomach occurs in 0.4% and the most common cell type of the primary lung carcinoma is large cell type(3.7%) followed by adenocarcinoma(2.4%), small cell carcinoma(1.7%) and squamous cell carcinoma(0.7%). The most common tumors that spread to the stomach through the blood stream are malignant melanoma, breast carcinoma and lung carcinoma. Most of the gastrointestinal tract metastases had no specific symptoms because of its submucosal involvement. The prognosis was poor and the mean survival period from the onset of symptoms was 49 days. The first patient was a 56-year-old man who had primary lung carcinoma with brain metastasis. Gastroscopic findings showed two elevated mass lesions in the anterior wall of the mid body with central ulcer and the posterior wall of the fundus with intact surface mucosa. Pathologic examination of stomach tissue revealed small cell type tumor cells infiltrate in the stomach wall segmentally without destruction of the glands. The second patient was a 67-year-old man who had no other evidence of the distant metastasis. Gastroscopic findings showed a huge, oval shaped, ulcerofungating mass with deep penetrating central ulcer coated with dirty exudate in the anterior wall from mid to upper body of the stomach, and thickened elevated rugal folds in the posterior wall of the fundus. Pathologic examination of stomach tissues revealed the small cell type tumor cells showing small smudged nucleus infiltrate into the mucosa of the stomach and the architecture of mucosa intact. We report the two cases of metastatic gastric cancer from the primary small cell lung carcinoma with the literature review.

Fresh mushroom (Agaricus bisporus L.) was irradiated (0, 1, 2, 3kGy) and kept for 20 days at 9{\pm}1^{\circ}C\;and\;80{\pm}7%$ RH. Parameters of qualities were investigated on the physical and physiological characteristics. The pileus and stipe on nonirradiated mushroom were expanded and elongated from the 3rd day of storage, there by losing the acceptability as edible samples. After 5 days of storage, 2 to 3kGy of gamma irradiation were especially effective for controllong natural maturation and senescence of fresh mushrooms and so irradiated mushrooms were acceptable more than 20days storage. The texture of irradiated samples was superior to that of nonirradiated samples, even though softening of the tissue occurred during storage. Weight loss was greatest in the nonirradiated sample due to evaporation from an increased surface area resulting from expansion and ripending, which were retarded in the 2 to 3kGy irradiated samples after 5days of storage. These results suggest that the irradiation dose of 2 to 3kGy is apparently effective to extend the shelf life of fresh mushrooms stored at the above-mentioned condition.

Viele medizinische Ma$\ss$snahmen erfordern ein Zusammenwirken verschiedener $\ddot{A}$Arzte. In der arbeitsteiligen Medizin wird deutlich zwischen vertikaler und horizontaler Arbeitsteilung unterschieden. Mit dem Begriff vertikaler Arbeitsteilung geht es darum, ob ein Arzt einem anderen Weisungen erteilen kann oder nicht. Bei der Horizontalen Arbeitsteilung handelt es sich um selbst$\ddot{a}$andig t$\ddot{a}$atige Mediziner, in gleichen oder aneinander sto$\ss$senden Gebieten, bei denen man sich auf die Angaben oder die T$\ddot{a}$atigkeiten des anderen verlassen kann. Die wirkliche arbeitsteilige Medizin wird horizontal geleistet. In der arbeitsteiligen Medizin, insbesondere in der mehr und mehr spezialisierten Medizin, ist ein gewisser Grad des Vertrauens notwendig, schon aus Zeitgr$\ddot{u}$unden. Die Wiederholung aller m$\ddot{o}$oglichen diagnostischen, aber auch pr$\ddot{a}$aoperativen Untersuchungen, w$\ddot{a}$are zeitaufwendig und kostenreich. Es gibt aber auch Verh$\ddot{a}$altnisse, in denen die Kontrolle oder sogar die Wiederholung dieser Tests notwendig ist. Dann ist, insbesondere wenn sie in einer gewissen Zeitfolge t$\ddot{a}$atig werden, die Problematik des Vertrauens und Misstrauens angesprochen. Der Arzt, der von einem anderen Arzt in herk$\ddot{o}$ommlicher Weise Mitteilungen bekommt oder jedenfalls erwarten kann, darf sich grunds$\ddot{a}$atzlich auf den Vertrauensgrundsatz berufen. Das gilt insbesondere, wenn der mitteilende Arzt in einer personell und apparativ $\ddot{u}$uberlegen ausgestatteten Klinik t$\ddot{a}$atig ist. Wenn sich allerdings Zweifel an der Richtigkeit der Mitteilung aufdr$\ddot{a}$angen, etwa zahlreiche Nachl$\ddot{a}$ssigkeiten vorgekommen sind, ist f$\ddot{u}$r Vertauen kein Platz.

The search-results clustering problem is defined as the automatic and on-line grouping of similar documents in search results returned from a search engine. In this paper, we propose a new search-results clustering algorithm specialized for a paper search service. Our system consists of two algorithmic phases: Category Hierarchy Generation System (CHGS) and Paper Clustering System (PCS). In CHGS, we first build up the category hierarchy, called the Field Thesaurus, for each research field using an existing research category hierarchy (KOSEF's research category hierarchy) and the keyword expansion of the field thesaurus by a word clustering method using the K-means algorithm. Then, in PCS, the proposed algorithm determines the category of each paper using top-down and bottom-up methods. The proposed system can be used in the application areas for retrieval services in a specialized field such as a paper search service.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of periodic video education on knowledge about hemodialysis, patient role behavior and the physiologic index in patients with hemodialysis. Methods: One-group pretest-posttest design was applied. A total of 50 patients with hemodialysis at a university hospital hemodialysis unit in Daegu participated. Periodic video education about kidney function, diet, arteriovenous fistula management, medication, and exercise was administered to them for 12 weeks at intervals of 2 weeks. Before and after the education, the participants completed the self-administered questionnaires of knowledge about hemodialysis and patient role behavior and the measures of serum potassium and phosphorus concentration, weight gain between hemodialysis sessions, and adequacy of dialysis (Kt/V). Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test. Results: Knowledge about hemodialysis and patient role behavior were significantly different between before and after education (p<.01). For the physiologic index, serum potassium concentration and weight gain between hemodialysis sessions were not significantly different but the serum phosphorus concentration and Kt/V were significantly different between before and after education (p<.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that the periodic video education for patients with hemodialysis contributed to the change and improvement in knowledge about hemodialysis, patient role behavior, and the physiologic index.

In this paper, an efficient SAD(Sum of Absolute Differences) processor structure for motion estimation of H.264 is proposed. SAD processors are commonly used both in full search methods for motion estimation and in fast search methods for motion estimation. Proposed structure consists of SAD calculator block, combinator block, and minimum value calculator block. Especially, proposed structure is simplified by using Distributed Arithmetic for addition operation. The Verilog-HDL(Hard Description Language) coding and FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation results for the proposed structure show 39% and 32% gate count reduction in comparison with those of the conventional structure, respectively. Due to its efficient processing scheme, the proposed SAD processor structure can be widely used in size dominant H.264 chip.
