The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body, It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc are thought to develop as aging, mechanical stress and metabolic factors. Genetic factors may also play a part in the onset or progress of the degenerative process. They, together with environmental factors, may act as determinants of the structural characteristics of the intervertebral disc and produce a tendency to generation, In this short review we outline the morphplogy and biochemistry of normal intervertebral disc and the changes that arise during degeneration. Therefore this study will review degeneration of intervertebral disc, so we will have knowledge about low back pain associated with degenerative change in the intervertebral disc.

This study examined the levels of consumers' non-ethical behaviors in the marketplace and the factors affecting each category of them. The data were collected from 222 adults in Busan and Gyeongnam areas through a self-administered questionnaire. Frequencies, Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analyses were conducted by SPSS Windows. The results from this study were as follows: First, respondents showed the highest level of non-ethical behavior in the no harm/no foul category, while the lowest level in the actively benefiting from questionable behavior category. Second, as the results of multiple regression analyses, age was significant in all categories of non-ethical behaviors. In addition, religion, consumer knowledge and consumer role attitudes were found to be significant in some categories. These results imply that the consumer ethics should be included in the consumer education for more effective consumer behaviors of young generation.

We have grown, for the first time to our knowledge, N-doped ZnO thin films on sapphire substrate by employing novel dielectric barrier discharge in pulsed laser deposition (DBD-PLD). DBD guarantees an effective way for massive in-situ generation of N-plasma under the conventional PLD process condition. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the N-doped ZnO film provided near band-edge emission after thermal annealing process. The emission peak was resolved by Gaussian fitting to find a dominant acceptor-bound exciton peak ($A^0X$) that indicates the successful p-type doping of ZnO with N.

This study investigated the key role of sketches in creative fashion design by observing the cognitive process of idea development through a professional's design problem solving using the medium of hand sketching. The three-part semi-constrained design experiment with a professional designer, in which the participant designer was provided a source of inspiration image and asked to design a small collection of outfits, identified a fashion designer's idea development process as involving two phases of sketch processes: lateral and vertical transformation. Analysis of the video/audio recording and corresponding interviews validated lateral transformation in the designer's use of sketches to represent interpretation of the provided inspiration source. Through sketching, the designer transferred fuzzy ideas onto paper. Vertical transformation was observed through the designer's modification of previous ideas after reflecting on earlier sketches, with various ideas divided, manipulated, discarded, regrouped, and combined through sketching activities. The designer's sketching process is valuable design knowledge that facilitates the idea development process and ultimately triggers generation of creative ideas. Understanding it may benefit practitioners and educators.

An ergonomic evaluation model which can properly evaluate the design of a product or workplaces was developed to evaluate a new product in the early stage of design. Although several evaluation models have been developed and are in use in the field of ergonomics, they lack an integrated framework and analysis techniques. In this research, an ergonomic evaluation model was developed according to the framework which accommodates desirable components of the model. The framework represents the integration of four components: man model, workplace modeller, ergonomic evaluation functions and knowledge bases, which interact with a common object-oriented database. Components were developed individually and integrated with the workplace modeller. The generation and manipulation of man models, workplace modelling, and ergonomic evaluation features such as reach and visibility were implemented. The developed evaluation model has demonstrated distinct advantages of the flexibility to adapt another features for the ergonomic evaluation model and the better usability for users.

화학 공정에서의 이상 진단 시스템 개발 및 응용에 대한 연구는 지난 5년간 많은 발전이 이루어졌다. 화학 공정의 본질적인 특성으로 대형 시스템, 비선형 특성, 모델링 자체의 어려움, 공정 변수의 large dead time 및 복잡한 인과 관계등을 들수 있으며, 이러한 어려움에도 불구하고 적절한 이상 진단 시스템의 중요성을 인식하여, 초기에는 주로 rule-based approach가 도입되어 현장에서의 조업에 많은 도움을 주었었다. 그러나 개발 기간의 단축화, 개발 과정의 표준화 뿐 아니라 개발된 시스템 자체의 일관성 등을 위하여 체계적인 접근 방법이 필요하게 되었으며, 그중 지식 베이스 합성 문제는 그 동안 활발하게 연구되어 오고 있는 분야이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기호화된 정성적인 정보를 얻기위한 기존의 실험 방법의 한계를 극복하고자 동적 모사를 이용하여 정량적인 정보로부터 정성적인 정보를 생성시키는 방법론에 대해 연구하였다. CSTR(Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor)에서 나타날수 있는 이상의 종류에 대한 동적 모사를 수행하여 이상 진단 시스템을 위한 지식이 생성되는 과정을 보였다.

Solar cell which transforms the light energy into the electric energy from Sun comes into prominence as a new energy for next generation. However, it is difficult to obtain the stable output voltage and current from the solar cell due to the uncertainty in weather conditions, etc, In the present paper, two types of control laws are considered for regulating the input voltage in a photovoltaic energy storage system such as the system with the super conducting magnetic energy storage. (1) Oone is the design of optimal controller. (2) The other is that of weighted minimum prediction error controllers (weighted one-step ahead controllers). Simulation study for the above controllers is performed to see how they work and to get preliminary knowledge in the regulation of the input voltage to the experimental photovoltaic energy storage system.

This paper present s a pattern generation scheme from financial charts. The patterns constitute knowledge which consists of patterns as the conditional part and the impact of the pattern as the conclusion part. The patterns in charts are represented in a syntactic approach. If the pattern elements and the impact of patterns are defined, the patterns are synthesized from simple to the more highly credible by evaluating each intermediate pattern from the instances. The overall process is divided into primitive discovery by Genetic Algorithms and pattern synthesis from the discovered primitives by the Syntactic Pattern-based Inductive Learning (SYNPLE) algorithm which we have developed. We have applied the scheme to a chart : the trend lines of stock price in daily base. The scheme can generate very credible patterns from training data sets.

T cell activation and function require physical contact with antigen presenting cells at a specialized junctional structure known as the immunological synapse. Once formed, the immunological synapse leads to sustained T cell receptor-mediated signalling and stabilized adhesion. High resolution microscopy indeed had a great impact in understanding the function and dynamic structure of immunological synapse. Trends of recent research are now moving towards understanding the mechanical part of immune system, expanding our knowledge in mechanosensitivity, force generation, and biophysics of cell-cell interaction. Actin cytoskeleton plays inevitable role in adaptive immune system, allowing it to bear dynamic and precise characteristics at the same time. The regulation of mechanical engine seems very complicated and overlapping, but it enables cells to be very sensitive to external signals such as surface rigidity. In this review, we focus on actin regulators and how immune cells regulate dynamic actin rearrangement process to drive the formation of immunological synapse.

We report stable, wideband, flat-topped, 10 GHz optical frequency comb generation from a semiconductor-based mode-locked ring laser with an intra-cavity high finesse Fabry-Perot etalon. We demonstrate a stable 10 GHz comb with greater than 200 lines within a spectral power variation below 1 dB, which is the largest value obtained from a similar mode-locked laser in our knowledge. Greater than 20 dB of the spectral peak to deep ratio at 0.02 nm resolution, ~92 femtosecond timing jitter over 1 kHz to 1 MHz range, and non-averaged time traces of pulses confirm very stable optical frequency comb lines.
