Purpose : The aim of this study was to clarify the lung capacity, maximal insufflation capacity, and peak cough flow when a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation(MIE) method was used to increase Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients' lung function. Methods : The subjects of the study were 21 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. They were randomly selected from patients within the boundaries of the selection criteria, and divided into two groups; The subject group(n=11) used the mechanical insufflation-exsufflation method with traditional therapeutic exercise. The control group(n=10) used only traditional therapeutic exercise. Results :The results indicated that maximal insufflation capacity, unassisted peak cough flow and assisted peak cough flow significantly increased in the subject group(p<.05). By contrast, in the control group, the results didn't indicate the significant differences from the variable. There were significant differences in maximal insufflation capacity and assisted peak cough flow between the subject group and the control group before and after the application of the mechanical insufflation-exsufflation method. Conclusion : A mechanical insufflation-exsufflation method has positive effects on the improvements of cough functions and that of pulmonary functions such as lung volume, lung elasticity in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The hemodynamic characteristics were compared using commercial CFD code for the stenosed coronary and abdominal arteries. Numerical calculations were carried out in the axisymmetric arteries over the stenotic diameter ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.875 (6 cases) employing the typical physiological flow conditions. In case of the coronary artery, there was only one recirculation zone observed distal to the stenosis throat during the major portion of the period. However, in case of the abdominal aorta, there were complex recirculation regions found proximal and distal to stenosis throat. For both models, the wall shear stresses(WSS) increased sharply in the converging stenosis, reaching a peak just upstream of the throat, and became negative or low values in the post-stenotic recirculation region. As the results, the oscillatory shear index(OSI) was abruptly increased at the stenosis throat. For the coronary stenosis model, the second peak in the OSI was observed distal to the stenosis. The distance between the first peak and the second peak was increased as the degree of the stenosis was raised. On the orther hand, the abdominal stenosis model showed a complex oscillatory behavior in the OSI index and did not showed such a strong second peak. As the degree of stenosis was increased, recirculation regions of the both arteries were extended much longer and flow pattern became more complex.

The present study investigates the two dimensional flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics of wavy duct with various corrugation angles. For the heat/mass transfer coefficients, a naphthalene sublimation technique is used. Numerical analysis and wall pressure measurement show detailed two dimensional flow features. The corrugation angles change from 145$^{\circ}$ to 100$^{\circ}$. The operating Reynolds numbers based on the duct hydraulic diameter vary from 700 to 3,000. The duct aspect ratio maintains 7.3. On the pressure wall, strong flow mixing enhances heat/mass transfer coefficients at the front position. In addition, the rear side of pressure wall, the near of peak, is affected by the acceleration and the shedding of main flow. On the suction wall, however, flow separation and reattachment lead to the valley and the peak of heat/mass transfer coefficient. Also, highly increasing boundary layer at the suction wall affects the decrease of heat/masst transfer. As decreasing corrugation angles, the spanwise average Sherwood number increases and the peak or the valley positions of the local Sherwood number are varied.

The cash flow forecasting is normally done by contractors in construction industry at early stages of the project for contractual decisions. The decision making in such situations involve uncertainty about future cash flows and assessment of working capital requirements gains more importance in projects constrained by cash. The traditional approach to assess the working capital requirements is deterministic in and neglects the uncertainty. This paper presents an alternate approach to assessment of working capital requirements for contractor based on fuzzy set theory by considering the uncertainty and ambiguity involved at payment periods. Statistical methods are used to deal with the uncertainty for working capital curves. Membership functions of the fuzzy sets are developed based on these statistical measures. Advantage of fuzzy peak working capital requirements is demonstrated using peak working capital requirements curves. Fuzzy peak working capital requirements curves are compared with deterministic curves and the results are analyzed. Fuzzy weighted average methodology is proposed for the assessment of peak working capital requirements.

The change in discharge current of a glow discharge has been shown the potential sensitive detector for gas chromatography. To investigate the effect of carrier gas on the electrical characteristics of the discharge and the peak response, the discharge pressure, gas flow rate, and discharge gap have been studied. The discharge gas included the Ar, He, and N$_{2}$. The gas flow rate has been found one of the important parameters to affect both the electrical characteristics and the peak response.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of deep breathing exercise and ankle exercise on blood flow velocity in the femoral vein. Sixteen healthy male students were recruited from Yonsei University, at Wonju. The blood flow velocities in the femoral vein were measured under three different conditions: resting, deep breathing, and ankle exercise. All subjects were given a 5-minute relaxing time in supine position prior to the study. Using a doppler ultrasound with a 8 MHz probe, the peak blood flow velocities were collected in a twenty-second-period at each condition. The subjects took a rest in between trials for the blood flow to return to its resting levels. The result showed a significant difference in peak blood flow velocities under those three conditions (p<.001). The peak blood flow velocity was highest in ankle exercise condition. The peak blood velocity was significantly higher in deep breathing condition compared with the resting condition. As a result, it is revealed that not only the muscular contractions but also the deep breathing exercises induced facilitating effects of venous return. Either of the exercise methods can be recommended to prevent blood stasis in patients with risk of deep vein thrombosis after cardiac or lower extremity surgery.

본 연구는 한 유역 내에서 단위유량도의 첨두치가 강우 강도에 따라 변동되는 기존 연구 분석 사례를 근간으로 하여 고찰된다. 시간불변이라는 이론적 기본 가정과 달리 호우별 강우강도에 따라 시변(時變)하는 단위유량도를 설정하고 강우사상에 적용하여 유출수문곡선을 산출하여 검토한다. 이 때 적용되는 단위유량도의 경우 첨두유량과 첨두발생시간은 기왕 연구된 강우강도와의 관계식을 검토하여 이용하고 단위유량도 형상은 산출된 첨두치를 적용한 Nash의 단위유량도로 설정된다. 비교 목적을 위해서 적용하는 유역 평균 단위유량도는 강우사상별로 유도된 26개의 단위유량도의 평균 첨두치에 의한 Nash의 모형이다. 호우사상의 강우강도별로 변동되는 단위유량도와 평균단위유량도로부터 산출된 수문곡선의 첨두유량과 첨두발생시간을 관측수문곡선과 비교한다. 비교한 결과 본 연구에서 보완적으로 제시한 시변(時變)의 단위유량도는 평균 단위유량도에 의해서 계산한 첨두홍수량과 첨두발생시간 보다 관측치에 접근함을 보인다.

The aim of the study was to compare effects of music and white noise on the recovery of facial blood flow parameters after stressful visual stimulation. Twenty-nine subjects participated in the experiment. Three visual stimulation sessions with aversive slides (the IAPS, disgust category) were followed by subjectively "pleasant" (in the first session), "sad" music (in the second ), and white noise (in the third ). Order of sessions was counterbalanced. Blood flow parameters (peak blood flow, blood flow velocity, blood volume) were recorded by Laser Doppler single-crystal system (LASERFLO BPM 403A) interfaced through BIOPAC 100WS with AcqKnowledge software (v.3.5) and analyzed in off-line mode. Aversive visual stimulation itself decreased blood flow and velocity in all 3 sessions. Both "pleasant" and "sad" music led to the restoration of baseline levels in all blood flow parameters, while noise did not enhance recovery process. Music on post-stress recovery had significant change in peak blood flow and blood flow velocity, but not in blood volume measures. Pleasant music had bigger effects on post-stress recovery in peak blood flow and flow velocity than white noise. It reveals that music exerted positive modulatory effects on facial vascular activity measures during recovery from negative emotional state elicited by stressful slides. Results partially support the undoing hypothesis of Levenson (1994), which states that positive emotions may facilitate process of recovery from negative emotions.
