Acid-base reaction together with oxidation-reduction reaction is an important reaction occurring in the aqueous phase. The definition by Lewis on the acid and base is more comprehensive than several definitions. HSAB theory has been introduced to consider the difference in the reactivity among the acids/bases. In this paper, several acid-base reactions were analyzed by applying the definition of acid and base. Moreover, the background of the introduction of HSAB and its application was explained.

The standard definition of an instantaneous temporal part cannot properly deal with cases involving time travel. This paper provides a new definition of an instantaneous temporal part by appealing to David Lewis's distinction between external time and personal time. The new definition avoids the problems because it does not allow more than one instantaneous temporal part of an object at each moment of its personal time. We argue that this new definition, combined with our new perdurantist semantic thesis, deals with cases of time travel successfully.

Background: When it comes to esophageal cancer operations, the prevalence of anastomotic complications that adversely affect quality of life is related to the type of anastomotic procedure and the operative site. We studied outcomes related to a safe anastomotic method used in Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy for preventing anastomotic leakage and stricture formation. Material and Method: Between May 2003 and April 2007, 18 patients with esophageal cancer underwent this type of esophagogastrectomy. Four people were lost to follow-up. There were 17 men (94.4%) and 1 woman. The mean patient age was 61 years (range, $46{\sim}73$ years). Result: The mean follow-up period was 17.2 months (range, $1{\sim}45$ months). There was no anastomotic leakage. There was one benign anastomotic stricture (5.6%) requiring esophageal balloon dilatation, which was accomplished with a 25 mm circular stapler. Conclusion: We experienced relatively good postoperative results using a safe anastomotic method in the Ivor lewis operation for preventing anastomotic complications. These results suggest that this anastomotic method is effective in reducing the incidence of benign anastomotic complications.

Adams' Thesis, or the so-called equation Pr$(A{\rightarrow}C)$ = Pr(C|A) seems to express a correct relationship between the probabilities of conditionals and conditional probabilities. But D. K. Lewis has proved the remarkable fact that probabilities of conditionals are not conditional probabilities. In this paper 1 present a version of Lewis' triviality results and give an explanation why probabilities of conditionals are not conditional probabilities. A conditional probability of C given A has a peculiar properly in that its probability is insulated from not-A facts: the only thing relevant is the proportion of ways in which A is true which are also ways for C to be true. This peculiarity of conditional probability seems to put the great obstacle in the way of attempting to find a proposition such that its probability of being true systematically coincides with conditional probability of something else.

This study examined the applicability of MBLRP (Modified Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse) rainfall generation model for an urban flood simulation which is a type of Poisson cluster rainfall generation model. This study constructed XP-SWMM model for Namgajwa area of Hongjecheon basin, which is a two-dimensional pipe network-surface flood simulation program and computed a flood discharge and a flooded area with input data of synthetic rainfall time series of 200 years that were generated by the MBLRP model. This study compared the data of flood with synthetic rainfall and flood with corresponding values which were based on design rainfall. The results showed that the flooded area computed with MBLRP model was somewhat smaller than the corresponding values on the basis of the design. A degree of underestimation was from 8% (5 year) to 34% (200 year) and the degree of underestimation increased as a return period increased. This study is meaningful in that it proposes methodology that enables quantifiability of uncertain variables which are related to a flooding through Monte Carlo analysis of urban flooding simulation and applicability and limitations thereof.

It is recommended to use long-term hydrometeorological data for more than the service life of the hydraulic structures and water resource planning. For the purpose of expanding rainfall data, stochastic simulation models, such as Modified Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse (BLRP) and Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse (NSRP) models, have been widely used. The optimal parameters of the model can be estimated by repeatedly comparing the statistical moments defined through a combination of parameters of the probability distribution in the optimization context. However, parameter estimation using relatively small observed rainfall statistics corresponds to an ill-posed problem, leading to an increase in uncertainty in the parameter estimation process. In addition, as shown in previous studies, extreme values are underestimated because objective functions are typically defined by the first and second statistical moments (i.e., mean and variance). In this regard, this study estimated the parameters of the NSRP model using the objective function with the third moment and compared it with the existing approach based on the first and second moments in terms of estimation of extreme rainfall. It was found that the first and second moments did not show a significant difference depending on whether or not the skewness was considered in the objective function. However, the proposed model showed significantly improved performance in terms of estimation of design rainfalls.

The purpose of this study was to develop a Science Academic Emotion Scale for Elementary Students. To make a scale, authors extract a core of 14 emotions related to science learning situations from Kim & Kim (2013) and literature review. Items on the scale consisted of 14 emotions and science learning situations. The first preliminary scale had 174 items on it. The number of 174 items was reduced and elaborated on by three science educators. Authors verified the scale using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, inter-item consistency and concurrent validity. The second preliminary scale consisted of 141 items. The preliminary scale was reduced to seven factors and 56 items by applying exploratory factor analysis twice. The seven factors include: enjoyment contentment interest, boredom, shame, discontent, anger, anxiety, and laziness. The 56 items were elaborated on by five science educators. The scale with 56 items was fixed with seven factors and 35 items to get the final scale by applying confirmatory factor analysis twice. Except for Chi-square and GFI (Goodness of Fit Index), other various goodness of fit characteristics of the seven factors and 35 items model showed good estimated figures. The Cronbach of the scale was 0.85. The Cronbach of seven factors are 0.95 in enjoyment contentment interest, 0.81 in boredom, 0.87 in shame, 0.82 in discontent, 0.87 in anger, 0.77 in anxiety, 0.81 in laziness. The correlation coefficient was 0.59 in enjoyment contentment interest, 0.54 in anxiety, 0.42 in shame, and 0.28 in boredom, which were estimated using the Science Academic Emotion Scale and National Assessment System of Science-Related Affective Domain (Kim et al., 1998). Based on the results, authors judged that the Science Academic Emotion Scale for Elementary Students achieved an acceptable validity and reliability.

This study was aimed to analyze factors affecting intention on clinical application by task autonomy of dental hygienists, expected effect and obstructive factor on clinical application of assessment, dental hygiene diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation (ADPIE). Meanwhile, it proved mediating effects of "attitude toward ADPIE" when it came to "intention on clinical application". The data was collected from 237 dental personnel in capital region from March 28, 2014 to May 2, 2014. To analyze the suitability of a theoretical model and hypothesis testing, SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 18.0 program were used. The theoretical model was accepted as it resulted in ${\chi}^2=421.67$ while showing goodness of fit index=0.858, comparative fit index=0.915, Tucker-Lewis index=0.896, root mean square residual=0.039, and root mean square error of approximation=0.099. The result showed "task autonomy of dental hygienists (${\beta}=0.398$, p<0.05)" and "expected effect on ADPIE (${\beta}=0.363$, p<0.01)" had a positive effect on "attitude toward ADPIE". Also, "attitude toward ADPIE" had a positive effect on "intention on clinical application". In addition, "task autonomy of dental hygienists" and "expected effect on ADPIE" had an indirect influence on "intention on clinical application" via such intermediary as "attitude toward ADPIE". According to the above results, the task autonomy of dental hygienists, expected effect on ADPIE, and attitude toward ADPIE were confirmed to be significant factors when it came to the intention on its clinical application. Therefore in order to settle ADPIE in the clinical practice, improvement of task autonomy for dental hygienists as well as their expectation and attitude on ADPIE must be promoted.

Background: Tuberculosis has commonly been associated with various hematologic changes. A difference between the changes found in pulmonary tuberculosis and those found in miliary tuberculosis has been discussed. Up to now some worker were investigated hematological changes associated with pulmonary tuberculosis but was not investigated those associated with miliary tuberculosis in korea. Therefore we examimed the peripheral blood and bone marrow findings in miliary tuberculosis patients to determine hematologic changes. Methods: We performed blood sample at admission and bone marrow biopsy within 7days after admission. For evaluation of the hematologic findings, full blood counts and marrow differential counts were defined by the criteria outlined by Dacie and Lewis. Results: 1) Peripheral blood findings: Pancytopenia in 10% of patients, anemia in all patients, leukocytosis in 10% of patients, leukopenia in 20% of patients, thrombocytopenia in 30% of patients, lymphocytopenia in 90% of patients, monocytosis in 40% of patients and neutrophilia in 10% of patients were found at peripheral blood. 2) Bone marrow findings: Lymphocytopenia in 30% of patients, lymphocytosis in 20% of patients, plasmacytosis in 40% of patients, monocytosis in 100% of patients, and hypocellularity in 30% of patients were found at bone marrow. Erythropoiesis was decreased in 30% of patients. Granulopoiesis was decreased in 20% of patients and increased in 20% of patients. Bone morrow granuloma occured in 25% of patients. Conclusion: Hematologic changes of miliary tuberculosis were seen tendency of cytopenic pattern but monocyte was increased at peripheral blood and bone morrow. This findings would provide additional information for the differential diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis.
