It was studied how using soft contact lens multi-purpose solution (MPS), often used for medical treatment, effects the inhibition on cell growth, and how using the MPS demages eye cells, on rabbit eye's corneal epithelium and endothelium tissue. $ReNu^{(R)}$ (Baush & Lomb, USA), Opti-free $express^{(R)}$ (Alcon, USA), Free-sol $plus^{(R)}$ (Hanamedicon, Korea) were used as MPS. After culturing Clone 1-5C-4 cell lines (Human conjunctival cell lines), cell growth inhibition rate was measured by MIT assay. By making Hematoxylin and Eosin stain specimen, the morphology was observed by optical microscope. In the In vivo experiment, 9 white rabbit eyes (18 eyes) were classified into 3 groups. The experiment group is left eyes (9 eyes) of rabbit, and MPS were dropped; however the control group, the right eyes (9 eyes), were only used a saline solution without a preservatives. After the dropping within the period, the cornea surface of rabbit endothelium tissue was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Selection of high producer strain, optimization of production medium and cultivation in bioreactor system were carried out in order to produce an antifungal substance, PAFS in large amounts which sources and 41 kinds of nitrogen sources, a synthetic medium consisting of fructose(70 g/1) and ammonium sulfate (10g/l) and a complex medium including galactose(30g/l), fructose(20g/l) and cottonseed flour(35g/l) were determined as opti-mized media for PAFS production. In bioreactor studies examining physiological characteristics of the pro- ducer microorganism with the complex medium, typical pattern of diauxic growth was observed as demonstrated by the result that fructose was not used before almost exhaustion on readily utilizable carbon source, galactose. When galactose was supplemented additionally during the fermentation period. PAFS pro-ductivity did no increases any more, indicating that large portion of the added galactose was used for cell growth instead of biosynthesis of the secondary metabolite. It was deduced that PAFS production could be enhananced by employing fed-batch operation in order to overcome the apparent phenomenon of catabolite repression and /or inhibition.

During the design of dies and molds, the cavity of the object is obtained by subtracting it from a surrounding rectangular block. This box is subsequently split into two halves by the parting surface. Similar problems also occur in some RP processes such as LOM, SGC, SLS and 3DP where the machine produces a block inside which the prototype is buried. Determining the orientation of the object inside the box and the corresponding parting surface taking appropriate constraints into account have been addressed by several researchers. However, given the parting surface, the problem of splitting the box development of a software package called OptiLOM (now a module of an RP software Magics 8.0), the authors realized non-triviality of this problem since the loop can spread over as many as 5 faces of the box. In this paper, the authors have tried to bring out the importance of this problem and have presented their algorithm to solve it.

Person characteristics and the perception of organization climate affect on the performances associated with causes of job stress, and may induce various types of human errors. For incidence, a person's adaptation to organizational traits can influence on a person's performance with tasks assigned as well as job satisfaction, a change of occupation, etc. There are several evaluation methods such as an aptitude test to evaluate the suitability of department allocation. However, only person's traits such as an aptitude has been associated with department allocation and job assignment for the personnel management. This paper shows not only an evaluation result on the job-stress of the workers in nuclear power plants (NPPs), but also the relationships between the job-stress and the coincidences of group-personal, team-personal traits. Then, we systematically deduct a basic information on the factors to be considered to manage the organizational traits and job stress. We expect this result can contribute to enhance the organizational management against to the human errors as well as for the promotion of safety and efficiency of NPPs.

In my previous research (1986), I considered a general characteristics of a visual image of products. There were really many difficulties in designing all kinds of needs in compliance with the all of their requests in order to satisfy consumers. In addition, under the characteristics of goods, the consumers seem to choose an opti$$\mu$ com\ulcornerbinations after considering the combinations of trade-off. Therefore, this study that selected a watch as an object on this study was analyzed a Design Assessment Structure under the trade-off. As a result of this research: First, an effect of a negative superiority appeared under the trade-off condition among ifems when consumers purchased products. Second, these four items were extracted from the eight items which were suggested in this study through an analysis of factors. Third, the three courses were conformed when a consumer purchased a watch. Fourth, in the all kinds of goods, the price which was considered as an important point was not important item ina relation to a purchasing behavior. According to the concomitant effects, we figured out these four items, that is, form, thickness, readability and wearing and its have to be considered a lot when designing a watch.

In this ppaer, we propose a new detector based on the median-shift sign, and then investigate its asymptotic and finite sample-size performance. We call it the median-shift sign (MSS) detector, which is an extension of the classical sign detector. First, we consider the asymptotic opti$$\mu$ median shift values and their characteristics. Next, we consider the asymptotic relative efficiency of the MSS detectors. we then consider the problem of detecting known signals in noise of known probability density function, and the problem of detecting known signals when only partial information is available on the noise.

The objective of this study is to manufacture the low temperature waterless container that is compact and low cost for a live fish transportation. Using the low temperature water container, it makes observations on the optimal conditions such as the amount of dissolved oxygen, total ammonia and nitrite in seawater for determining the survival rate of live fish in short and long-term transportation. Using a sole as a live fish, the temperatures of $0^{\circ}C$, 3$^{\circ}C$, 5$^{\circ}C$, 7$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ were controled for there effects. The results of this investigation show that as the seawater temperature increased, the amount of oxygen decreased and there was a low temperature shock below 3$^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the fish was died with 30$m\ell/\ell$of ammonia. The optimal temperature is about 5$^{\circ}C$ for live fish transportation to maintain best survival rate.

The purpose of this study is to assess the organizational types and the job stress factors that affect the procedure-based job performances in nuclear power plants(NPPs). We derived 24 organizational factors affecting to the job stress in NPPs from the job stress analysis models of NIOSH(1989), Cooper(1990), and Karasek(1990). onsidering the safety characteristic in operating tasks of NPPs, we individuate among the tasks in NPPs through the division of duty and the analysis of cost activity. Through the questionnaire survey, a structured interview with the responsible employees, and expert panels, we assess 70 tasks among 777 tasks managed officially under the procedures. They are the representative tasks to the duties of each division and are directly related to the safety. We utilize the OPTI(organizational personality type indicators) to characterize the personality type of each organization in NPPs.

Objectives: Although the coating of surface sealants to dental composite resin may potentially reduce bacterial adhesion, there seems to be little information regarding this issue. This preliminary in vitro study investigated the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) on the dental composite resins coated with three commercial surface sealants. Materials and Methods: Composite resin (Filtek Z250) discs (8 mm in diameter, 1 mm in thickness) were fabricated in a mold covered with a Mylar strip (control). In group PoGo, the surfaces were polished with PoGo. In groups PS, OG, and FP, the surfaces polished with PoGo were coated with the corresponding surface sealants (PermaSeal, PS; OptiGuard, OG; Fortify Plus, FP). The surfaces of the materials and S. mutans cells were characterized by various methods. S. mutans adhesion to the surfaces was quantitatively evaluated using flow cytometry (n = 9). Results: Group OG achieved the lowest water contact angle among all groups tested (p < 0.001). The cell surface of S. mutans tested showed hydrophobic characteristics. Group PoGo exhibited the greatest bacterial adhesion among all groups tested (p < 0.001). The sealant-coated groups showed statistically similar (groups PS and FP, p > 0.05) or significantly lower (group OG, p < 0.001) bacterial adhesion when compared with the control group. Conclusions: The application of the surface sealants significantly reduced S. mutans adhesion to the composite resin polished with the PoGo.

The characteristics of the high-performance ceramic coatings fabricated on the optimum processings con-ditions for the atmospheric plasma spraying are evaluated by various material tests and analyses. The opti-mum processing parameters for the plasma spraying are determined by using the two-level orthogonal arrays of fractional factorial testing method as a statistical approach. Material tests for the coating specimens are carried out to evaluate microstructure, hardness, adhesion strength, and deposition efficiency. The properties of Al2O3-13%TiO2 coating are discussed with regard to the effective processings parameters. The decarburization effects of WC-12%Co coating is examined by XRD analysis in terms of the arc power and the secondary gas species. The hardness of Al2O2-13%TiO2 coating is increased with the arc power and shows the maximum value at around 40 lpm of Ar gas flowrate, which appears to be the most critical parame-ter on the deposition efficiency. For reducing the decarburization of WC-12%Co coating, the injection of inert He gas instead of reactive H2 gas as a secondary gas is more effective than the dropping of arc power to lessen the plasma enthalpy.
