This research has dual purposes. First, it was designed to determine the level of children's spatial environment in the residences, thereby, to make a vision for children's furniture as an industrial design product. Second, it was intened to find out the children's perceptual pattern toward the furniture, thereby to give some implications for future design development. For the second purpose, descriptors were screened with construct validity and their factor structure was identified. The subjects were 1,197 children from 1st grade of elemantary school through 3rd grade of middle school, and their 1,197 parents for the first purpose, and 560 children from 6th grades of elemantary school and 3rd grade of middle school for the second purpose. The first parts of findings were 1) present interests of parents of household above middle income level in Seoul in making their children's spatial environment desirable is quite high. 2) Space segregation stage in terms of physical and conceptual aspects showed very fast development, that is, there will have been very good changes for children's room to be a very well furnished and independent space for them. 3) Children's opinions were quite well reflected when purchasing the present furniture, and this tendency seemed to be more likely happend in future. These findings mentioned above gave and confirmed the visions for future children's furnished environment. The second parts of findings were such that the perceptual pattern for furniture by children showed aesthetic design appearance, functionality and durability, and the characteristic of line. This result impliated especially that designers should be every careful to manipulate or use the line of the furniture products. The 22 representative descriptors selected can be used as an evaluation instrument for furniture products.

As interest in health has recently increased, many researchers have investigated the utilization of functional foods by confectioneries and bakeries. However, research on loaf bread containing beets has not been conducted. To investigate the optimal ratio of beet in loaf bread containing beet powder, characteristics of loaf bread according to 2%(B2), 4%(B4), and 6%(B6) beet powder per wheat flour were examined. The experimental results were as follows. Fermentation rate was reduced as content of beet powder increased compared with the control, whereas pH levels of dough and loaf bread significantly increased as content of beet powder increased. As content of beet powder increased, volume of loaf bread decreased, whereas specific volume increased. There was no significant difference in volume of loaf bread between the samples. As far as color changes are concerned, as content of beet powder increased, L value decreased, whereas a and b values increased with significant differences between the samples. Characteristics were examined by sensory evaluation of loaf bread containing beet powder. Color of inner texture and peel color of loaf bread significantly increased as content of beet powder increased. Size of air pores was largest in B4, and there was no significant difference in the uniformity of loaf bread between the control and experiment groups. As content of beet powder increased, rigidity of bread was reduced. Control showed the highest elasticity, whereas moisture level was highest in B2 with no significant differences between the samples. The flavor of beet was stronger as content of beet powder increased. In the preference test, B4 showed the highest preference scores for texture, flavor, taste, and overall likeness but not appearance. The experimental results showed that B4 among all control and experimental groups had the most suitable baking characteristics and an optimum content of beet powder. Therefore, B4 can be considered as the most appropriate for making loaf bread containing 4% beet powder in terms of physical and sensory characteristics. This is a new product that satisfies overall sensory preferences and has improved functionality.

In order to further improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the Ni-P coatings of electroless plating, electroless Ni-P/n-$Al_2O_3$ composite deposits were prepared by adding some nano $Al_2O_3$ Particles in Ni-P plating bath. The bath composition and proproties were studied in this paper. The orthogonal test was applied in order to get the new composite solution, taking the initial stable potential as evaluation standard and considering the elements correlation at the same time. The processing parameters have been optimized by single factor experiment in which the depositing speed was chosen as the evaluation standard. The results showed that the process is stable and the composite Ni-P/n-$Al_2O_3$ deposits werebright and smooth, whose hardness and corrosion resistance are much better than simple Ni-P coatings. Furthermore the surface appearance and structure of the composite Ni-P/n-$Al_2O_3$ coating were investigated by SEM and XRD method. It was proved that the coating surface is typical cystiform cells and its structure is amorphous. All test results ofcomposite coating showed that all various physical coating properties had been improved by adding nano-particles. The hardness of optimal coating is more than 600HV and increases to 1000HV after heat-treating, and its hardness is 20~50% higher than Ni-P coating. The rust points appeared in 200 hour by immersing the coating into the 10%HCl solution and the corrosive speed is $3{\times}10^{-3}mg/(cm^2{\cdot}h)$which was obtained after 300 hour. In the same condition Ni-P coating is $5.6{\times}10^{-3}mg/(cm^2{\cdot}h)$. The salt spray resistance of the layers can exceed 600h with the thickness $20{\mu}m$.

The purpose of this study is to first discriminate and assess those infants who appear healthy in appearance but who could face possible risk factors in the future and, secondly, to identify those infants who may have difficulties in their developmental stages. The subjects of this study consisted of 35 full-term infants (39-40 weeks) and 33 pre-term infants (34-35 weeks). The infants' voices were recorded for three minutes, for which EDIROL by Roland and a stand-type microphone made by SONY were used. This was done to discern the value of the Breath unit (B-unit) and the fundamental frequencies ($F_0$). It was found that there were significant differences in terms of F0 since the pre-term infants had higher F0 than the full-term infants, showing a result of 436.4 Hz for the full-term infants and 460 Hz for the pre-term infants (p<.05) There was an average rate of 4.01 for the full-term infants and 4.02 (SD=1.69) for the pre-term infants in shimmer. For NHR, it was observed .44 for the full-term infants and .50 for the pre-term infants, thus revealing no significant differences in these observations. This study shows that the crying of newborn babies is related to their physical conditions and it is a sensatory response to these conditions. Furthermore, this study could be helpful for the early detection and measurement of newborn babies who look clinically healthy but could be at risk through acoustic and physiological analyses.

We have investigated the relationship between EUV coronal jets and bright points observed by Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO)/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA). For this we consider 39 EUV coronal jets from May 2010 to July 2011 in 171 A identified by Heliophysics Events Knowledgebase (HEK) which provides an automatic identification of coronal jets. We look for coronal jet-bright point pairs as follows. First, we select the size of event area as 360 arcsec * 360 arcsec where the coronal jets are located at the center of the area. Second, we select jet-bright point pairs in case that they are located at the same position or just adjacent. Third, we select jet-bright point pairs that are connected by loops each other. Otherwise, we select jet-bright points pairs as the nearest one. As a result, we present 19 coronal jet-bright point pairs. The mean distance of these pairs is 77.24 arcsec. According to their distance and morphological connection, we classify the following three groups: 1) Adjacent (6 events), 2) Loop connected (5 events), and 3) Not connected in appearance (8 events). The histogram of mutual distance has two peaks; the first peak corresponds to the first group and the other one to the second group. We compare these events with previous observations and theoretical models as well as discuss possible physical connections between jets and bright points.

In this study, the one-component curable polyurethane resin was manufactured using blocked isocyanate and hybrid technology. To prepare the one-component curable hybrid polyurethane, silica hybrids including hydroxyl group was synthesized, and the size, shape and distribution of hybrid particle in polyurethane resin were confirmed. Then the dissociation property, mechanical property and molding property of blocked isocyanate were investigated. The dissociation property of blocked isocyanate in one-component curable polyurethane became better as the heating temperature and treatment time increased. The synthesized silica hybrid had spherical appearance and size of 23~27 nm in diameter, and it was observed that the hybrid particles were homogeneously distributed in polyurethane structure. In the case of hybrid polyurethane, the mechanical property, anti-abrasion and thermal property were higher than those of general polyurethane, and it was observed that the mechanical property was maintained when the plasticizer was introduced.

Skin irritations accompany the series of complex, physical and chemical changes. Alternative methods which reflect the biological phenomenon more sensitively are necessary for the purpose of reducing the animal tests and improving the accuracy and reliability. Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) vascular assay is a in vitro method which utilizes the chorioallantoic membrane of hen's fertilized egg of about 10 days old. Test substances are placed directly onto the surface of the CAM and 1 hour later the CAM vasculature is subjectively evaluated to determine with a chemically related-injurious reponse including the appearance of haemorrage, congestion, coagulation, and so on. In this research, using the various surfactants, the correlations of CAMVA with in vivo models (intradermal safety test and human primary irritation test) were investigated. And CAMVA closely correlated to intradermal safety test (r=0.89) and human primary irritation test (r=0.90). From the result, it seems that CAMVA can also be used as a method for predicting the skin irritaions.

The effect of puffing conditions on the physical properties and sensory evaluations of a puffed snack (ppeongtuigi) made of purple sweet potato flour was investigated. The snacks consisted of coated artificial rice with purple sweet potato flour with water, tempered to 7%, 9% and 11% moisture. The coated material was puffed at 236, 241, or $246^{\circ}C$ for 4, 5, or 6 s. The $L^*$ value decreased as the heating time increased. The $a^*$ and $b^*$ values, specific volume, and hardness increased with increasing heating temperature and heating time. Puffed snacks produced under conditions of higher moisture (7%), higher heating temperature ($246^{\circ}C$), or longer heating time (5 s) showed high scores for appearance, color, taste, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluations.

Since 1980s' Korea had a great change on the housing culture by the supply of multi-family housing stock both on the macro-social and micro-social aspects. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes and the characteristics of housing environments which were estimated its modernization, and to examine the personal life under the change of housing environments. So I would like to revaluation the characteristics of modernization between the 1980s' and 1990s'. Therefore references were made to various papers, reports, the statistical data, newspaper reports, advertisements and magazines during that period. As a result, this paper came to the remarks as follows: 1. The success of modernization on the housing environments since 1980s' was the Quantitative growth of housing supply by multi-family housing. In spite of this, the Quantitative growth of housing supply and the improvement in Quality like housing space per person had the characters which was 'out of valence on the division'. 2. The Qualitative improvement of modem housing life by the development of housing industries could be said the improvement owing to develop of facilities and equipments. The introduction of up-to-date facilities and equipments realized the convenience and the rationality of living in the house. Although the improvement on the physical things deteriorated the modernized spaces to uniform things by commercial strategies. 3. The life in the multi-family housing which gives protection to personal privacy was settle down on the extremely individualized life without common things within the neighbors. Multi-family housing which was a production of process of modernization came true the growth in an appearance and the variety in the inside, but for the aspect of residents' everyday life in the multi-family housing, the Korean traditional relationship was collapsed and a sense of incompatibility within the residents was created.
