Carotenoids liberated from the red carotenoprotein from the skin of ascidian(Halocynthia roretzi)were developed on TLC, and two bands were obtained with different Rfvalues. Their chemical reactivities and spectroscopic properties were studied and elucidated as astaxanthin diester and astaxanthin monoester. After saponification of carotenoid ester, GC analysis was performed. The carotenoid ester contained oleic acid, palmitic acid and palmitoleic acids as 50% of total amount, and had higher content unsaturated fatty acid including eicosapentanoic acid than saturated fatty acid.

$TiO_{2}$/Se : Te heterojunction for color sensor has been fabricated by RF reactive sputtering and thermal evaporation methods onto glass substrate. The optimum deposition condition of $TiO_{2}$ films was such that RF power was 120 W, substrate temperature was $100^{\circ}C$, oxygen concentration was 50%, working pressure was 50 mTorr for the $TiO_{2}$ film thickness of $1000{\AA}$. In this case, the optical transmittance of $TiO_{2}$ film at 550 nm-wavelength was 85%, resistivity was $2{\times}10^9{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, refractive index was 2.3, and optical bandgap was 3.58 eV. The composition ratio of 0 to Ti by AES analysis was 1.7. When $TiO_{2}$ films were annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. in $O_{2}$ ambient, the optical transmittance of $TiO_{2}$ films at the wavelength range of $300{\sim}580$ nm was improved from 0 to 25%. When Se : Te films were annealed at $190^{\circ}C$ for 1 min., photosensitivity under illumination of 1000 lux was 0.75. The optical bandgap of Se : Te films was 1.7 eV. The structures of Se : Te films were the hexagonal with (100) and (110) orientation. The spectral response of a-Se was improved by the addition of Te, especially in the long wavelength region. The $TiO_{2}$/Se : Te heterojunction showed wide spectral response, and more improved one than that of a-Si film in the blue light region.

Little is known about the bacterial communities associated with the plants inhabiting sand dune ecosystems. In this study, the bacterial populations associated with two major sand dune plant species, Calystegia soldanella (beach morning glory) and Elymus mollis (wild rye), growing along the costal areas in Tae-An, Chungnam Province, were analyzed using a culture-dependent approach. A total of 212 bacteria were isolated from the root and rhizosphere samples of the two plants, and subjected to further analysis. Based on the analysis of the 16S rDNA sequences, all the bacterial isolates were classified into six major phyla of the domain Bacteria. Significant differences were observed between the two plant species, and also between the rhizospheric and root endophytic communities. The isolates from the rhizosphere of the two plant species were assigned to 27 different established genera, and the root endophytic bacteria were assigned to 21. Members of the phylum Gammaproteobacteria, notably the Pseudomonas species, comprised the majority of both the rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria, followed by members of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes in the rhizosphere and Alphaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes in the root. A number of isolates were recognized as potentially novel bacterial taxa. Fifteen out of 27 bacterial genera were commonly found in the rhizosphere of both plants, which was comparable to 3 out of 21 common genera in the root, implying the host specificity for endophytic populations. This study of the diversity of culturable rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria has provided the basis for further investigation aimed at the selection of microbes for the facilitation of plant growth.

Phylogenetic studies would clarify the diversity of fishes if the morphological analysis based on plesimorphy characters combined with new genetic analysis on molecular level, inferring more accurate and objective phylogeny and the taxonomy. Current molecular phylogenetic approach using mitochondrial genome provides the framework for a new hypothesis not only inferring the relationships between ancestor descendants but raveling the intra-, interspecies variation.

CuInGaSe(CIGS) mixed-source was prepared by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). Each metal was mixed in regular ratio and soaked at $1090^{\circ}C$ for 90 minutes in nitrogen atmosphere. After making the mixed-source to powder state, the pellet was made by the powder. The diameter of pellet is 10 mm. The CIGS thin film was deposited on soda lime glass evaporated Mo layer bye-beam evaporator. To confirm the crystallization, we measured X-ray diffraction (XRD). High intensity X-ray peaks diffracted from (112), (204)/(220), (116)/(312) and (400) of CIGS thin film and from (110) of Mo were confirmed by XRD measurement.

본 연구에서는 3톤/일의 플라스틱 투입량을 기준으로 혼합폐플라스틱으로부터 대체연료유를 생산할 수 있는 소용량 중심의 폐플라스틱 유화설비를 설계 제작하였으며 장기간에 걸친 시운전을 통하여 유화설비의 운전성 평가에 대한 실증연구를 수행하였다. 대상 폐플라스틱으로는 플라스틱 재활용 업체에서 분리 선별된 폴리에틸렌과 폴리프로필렌 그리고 이들을 혼합한 폐플라스틱을 각각 적용하였으며 $400\sim420^{\circ}C$의 분해 운전온도에서 폐플라스틱의 종류에 따른 시운전 평가를 하였다. 본 실증연구로부터 폴리에틸렌의 경우에 있어서는 79%의 재생유 회수율을 그리고 폴리프로필렌의 경우에 있어서는 80%의 재생유 회수율을 각각 얻을 수 있었으며 플라스틱 종류별 안정적인 운전조건을 확보할 수 있었다. 또한 폐플라스틱 투입량에 대한 설계용량과 운전용량과의 비교로부터 약 40$\sim$50%의 설계오차가 발생한 것으로 평가되었으며 이는 유화설비의 설계를 위하여 사용된 혼합폐플라스틱의 부정확한 물성 값에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구로부터 얻은 시운전결과를 바탕으로 설계인자들을 확립하는 과정이 반드시 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Yonsei Cancer Center introduced an IMRT System at the beginning of February, 2002. The system consists of CORVUS(NOMOS) inverse planning machine, LANTIS(SIEMENS), PRIMEVIEW and PRIMART Linac(SIEMENS). The optimization of CORVUS planning system with PRIMART is an important work to get an efficient treatment plan. So, we studied two Finite Size Pencil Beams, 1.0 x 1.0 cm$^2$ and 0.5 x 1.0 cm$^2$, and four leaf transmission sets, 5%, 10%, 20%, 33%. We compared the dose distribution of target volume and delivery efficiency of the plan results.

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a commonly performed diagnostic procedure for the evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux with urinary tract infection or congenital renal diseases in children. The procedure is relatively simple and cost-effective, and complications are very rare. The iatrogenic complication of VCUG range from discomfort, urinary tract infection to bacteremia, as well as bladder rupture. Bladder rupture is a rare complication of VCUG, and only a few cases were reported. Bladder rupture among healthy children during VCUG is an especially uncommon event. Bladder rupture associated with VCUG is usually more common in chronically unused bladders like chronic renal failure. Presented is a case of bladder rupture that occurred during a VCUG in a healthy 9-month-old infant, due to instilled action of dye by high pressure. This injury completely healed after 7 days of operation, and it was confirmed with a postoperative cystography. The patient's bladder volume, underlying disease, velocity of the contrast media instilled, catheter size, and styles of instillation are important factors to prevent bladder rupture during VCUG. Management of bladder rupture should be individualized, but the majority of infants are treated with the operation. In conclusion, bladder rupture is a rare complication, however, delicate attention is needed in order to prevent more dire situations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to propose and test a predictive model that could explain and predict nursing productivity. Methods: A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 360 nurses in Korea. The data were analyzed using SPSS Windows 18.0 and AMOS 19.0 program. Results: Based on the constructed model, burnout and organizational commitment were found to have direct effects on nurses' turnover intention and nursing productivity. While nursing work environment was found to have indirect effects on nurses' turnover intention and nursing productivity. Conclusion: This structural equational model is a comprehensive theoretical model that explains the related factors and their relationship with nursing productivity. Comprehensive organizational interventions to improve nursing productivity should focus on improving the nursing work environment. Findings from this study can be used to design appropriate strategies to decrease nurse turnover in Korea. Further studies are needed to prospectively verify these causal relationships with larger samples.
