For the purpose of disclosing the magnitude of low back pain problems of hospital nursing personnel and its possible causes, a questionaire survey was carried out on 418 nurses and nurse aides if a university hospital in Seoul. The results were as follows : 1. Of 418 nurse and nurse aides, 268 persons(64.1%) have experienced 1,145 spells of low back pain during 6-month period. 2. The pain and/or discomfort was mostly limited to the back, although 19% of the episodes accompanied radiating pain to the low extremities. 3. Of those with low back pain, 23 persons(8.6%) were medically diagnosed and 17 persons(6.3%)-underwent medical treatment. Those who sick leave amounted to 8 persons(3.0%). 4. The occurrence of low back pain showed significant association with assignment of duties(wards) and work shifts, while the association was not significant in terms of ranks, careers and overtimes. 5. The occurrence of low back pain was closely associated with lifting and carrying of loads, standing and twisting postures as well as the amount of work. 6. Among the nonoccupational factors, drinking showed statistically significant association with the occurrence of low back pain.

환경문제가 세계적으로 심각하게 다뤄지면서 우리나라도 태양광발전 설비가 급속도로 증가하였다. 특히 소용량 태양광발전을 저압배전으로 연계하는 계통에서 인버터 출력단의 전압상승으로 인하여 저압배전계통 품질저하 및 부하설비에 악영향을 주고 있다. 또한 과전압에 의한 인버터 가동중지로 인하여 발전소의 경제적 손실을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 저압배전계통 연계에 따른 태양광 인버터 출력단 전압 상승 해결방안을 연구 하였다. 첫째, 역률제어 및 능동전압제어 인버터를 사용하여 무효전력을 제어하면 출력단 전압이 230.91V에서 208.99V로 단자전압 비율이 약 10%가 내려갔다. 둘째, 배전전압용 변압기 2차 Tap을 조정하면 약 15V의 전압조정이 가능하지만, 한전배전규정전압이 220±13V의 범위가 벗어나지 않는 한 Tap을 조정해 주지 않는 문제점이 있다. 셋째, 인버터의 댓 수를 제한하면 인버터 과전압 범위 안에서 인버터를 기동할 수 있다. 넷째, 단상이 아닌 삼상으로 연계하면 전압이 분배되어 전압상승을 방지 할 수 있다. 4가지 중 현장 적용이 용이한 것은 역률제어 및 능동전압제어 인버터를 사용하는 것임을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a driving circuit that can be operated with a lower voltage than that of the conventional circuit without reducing the discharge voltage. the circuit proposed in this paper has a merit to improve the electrical characteristics because it can be composed of switching devices with low voltage. The operation and efficiency using real devices. The features of the circuit proposed in this paper are as follows; the power loss can be decreased by the use of low voltage, the cost if the driving circuit for PDP can be reduced by the use of switching devices operated with low voltage.

This paper presents the design of a broadband hybrid mixer using dual-gate FET topology with a low-pass filter which improves return loss of output to isolate RF and LO signal. The low-pass filter shows the isolation whose RF and LO signal is better than 40 dBc at 2 GHz and 5 GHz band. The dual-gate mixer which has been designed by using cascade topology operates when the lower FET is biased in linear region and the upper FET is in saturation. The input matching circuit has been designed to have conversion gain from 2 GHz to 6 GHz. The designed mixer with low-pass filter shows the conversion gain of better than 7 dB from 2 GHz to 6 GHz at a low LO power level of 0 dBm with the fixed IF frequency of 21.4 MHz.

In this paper, a basic study on micro cutting process with SM20C at low temperature environment was performed. In macro cutting fields, the cryogenic cutting process has been applied to cut the refractory metal but, the serious problem may be generated in micro cutting fields by the cryogenic environment. However, if the proper low temperature is applied to micro cutting area, the cooling effect of cutting heat is expected. Such effect can make the reduction of tool wear and burr formation. For verifying this possibility, the micro cutting experiment at low temperature was performed and SEM images were analyzed.

The nation's birthrate has been rapidly falling. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors related to low birthrate, by analyzing TV dramas dealing with childbirth and rearing. Content analysis is well suited to research probing widespread cultural notions or behavior. If any part or all of the dramas discussed an aspect of childbirth and rearing, we recorded verbatim quotes and paraphrased some specific points. Using the technique of multiple observers, inter rater as well as intra rater reliabilities were measured. The results showed that emergent themes in TV dramas on low birthrate are social environment, family context, and value changes. The conclusions and implications of these findings are discussed.

In room acoustics, reverberation time is an important acoustic parameter. However it is often difficult to measure short reverberation times at low frequencies with a traditional band pass filter bank if the product of filter bandwidth (B) and reverberation time (T) is small. It it well known that the minimum permissible product of bandwidth and reverberation time of the traditional band pass filter is at least 16. This strict requirement makes it difficult to measure short reverberation times of an acoustic room at low frequencies exactly. In order to reduce this strict requirement, in the previous paper, the wavelet filter bank was developed and the minimum permissible product of bandwidth and reverberation time was replaced with 4. In the present paper it is demonstrated how the short reverberation times of an practical room at low frequencies are successfully measured by using the wavelet filter bank and the results are compared with the traditional method using a band past filer bank.

If a sinusoidal excitation force moves back and forth along a structure with a certain frequency, the structure will be excited with the difference frequency of these two frequencies. A low frequency vibration shaker has been developed using this force frequency shifting without actually moving a shaker The shaker consists of an ordinary eccentric mass shaker, a plate, constant springs, and time varying dampers. The dampers are turned on and off in a sequential manner to simulate a traveling slide of an excitation force. The operation of the shaker is simulated by solving the equations of motion of the shaker. Characteristics of the shaker have been found and they can be utilized to design efficient low frequency shakers.

This study deals with an investigation on low cost adsorbents locally available n dyeing wastewater treatment of color removal. Peat, bentonite, slag and fly ash were utilized for this study. Considering that low cost adsorbents contained in $SiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ compositions, and coagulants were mainly used aluminate and ferrate in color removal. Color of dyeing wastewater was high removed in peat, berntonite and slag except for fly ash with passed time. It could be known that color removal of peat and slag were increased to pH 4, but was hardly changed with advancing to alkaline. Color intended to be high removed with increasing of agitation speed but to be almost slow after 150rpm. As a result on the experiment of Freundlich adsorption isotherms, adsorption intensity(l/n) appeared to be peat>fly ash>slag>bentonite and adsorption capacity(k) came out peat>bentonite>slag>fly ash. Therefore, if low cost adsorbents substituted for existing adsorbents, peat, bentonite and slag could look forward to an expected economical effect.

In this paper, We represent a low complexity of parallel canonical basis multiplier for GF( q$^{n}$ ), ( q＞ 2). The Mastrovito multiplier is investigated and applied to multiplication in GF(q$^{n}$ ), GF(q$^{n}$ ) is different with GF(2$^{n}$ ), when MVL is applied to finite field. If q is larger than 2, inverse should be considered. Optimized irreducible polynomial can reduce number of operation. In this paper we describe a method for choosing optimized irreducible polynomial and modularizing recursive polynomial operation. A optimized irreducible polynomial is provided which perform modulo reduction with low complexity. As a result, multiplier for fields GF(q$^{n}$ ) with low gate counts. and low delays are constructed. The architectures are highly modular and thus well suited for VLSI implementation.
