Background: Auricular acupressure is one of the traditional health care treatments in oriental medicine. Approximately, 30~40% of the cancer patients have said to be suffering from insomnia and half of them having chronic and severe insomnia at the same time. Insomnia caused cancer patients feel more pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety and it sometimes let the power to have the best of cancer pull down. Objective: To investigate how effective the auricular acupressure treatment to cancer patients suffering from insomnia. Methods: We recruited participants from East-West Cancer Center of Daejeon University. Finally, of the people whose age range from 20 to 75, 12 patients who got less than 40 points from the score of Oh's sleeping score (OSS) were recruited. Single-blind, randomized pilot study was performed. The treatment group received auricular acupressure treatment (AAT) on active points and the control group had received sham acupressure treatment (SAT) for five times. Sleep parameters were checked by using OSS and numeric rating scale (NRS). We checked the scale everytime, both before and after treatment. We analyzed the data statistically by using independent T-test, paired T-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. (p<0.05) Results: Twelve cancer patients participated in this pilot study and there was no significant difference between control and treatment group. Only 7 of them had completed the whole treatment process, 4 patients of AAT group and 3 participants of SAT. The OSS of AAT group had increased from $34.0{\pm}4.3$ to $39.5{\pm}3.1$ and that of SAT group had increased from $38.3{\pm}3.5$ to $40.0{\pm}0.0$. There was no significant difference between them. The NRS of AAT group had increased from $6.3{\pm}2.9$, $04.8{\pm}2.1$ and that of SAT group had increased from $7.0{\pm}1.0$ to $5.0{\pm}2.6$. No significant difference was observed between them. Conclusion: Although both groups did not show significant differences, most of the experimental participants showed increasing OSS and NRS after treatments. Significant participants' number will be needed in the next study.

습식산화법으로 합성한 Ferrate(VI)를 적용하여 2,6-Dichlorophenol의 분해 연구를 하였다. 최적의 분해 조건을 찾기 위해 영향인자로 pH(산성, 염기성, 중성), DCP의 초기 농도, ferrate 주입 농도, 수용액의 온도를 두어 실험하였다. Ferrate(VI)는 강력한 산화력과 선택성이 있으며, 무해한 최종산물인 Fe(III)을 만들어 유용한 성질을 가지고 있다. Ferrate 이온은 산성과 중성 조건에서 재빠르게 Fe(III)으로 환원한다. 본 실험 결과로 DCP의 분해율은 산성과 염기성 조건보다 중성 조건에서 좋은 것으로 나타났다. ferrate 주입 농도와 DCP의 초기 농도에 따라 영향을 강하게 받는다. ferrate의 주입 농도가 증가할수록 또한 DCP의 초기 농도가 감소할수록 DCP의 분해율이 좋게 나타났다. 수용액의 온도는 10, 25, 35, $50^{\circ}C$에서 실험을 진행하였다. 최적의 조건은 $25^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며, $25^{\circ}C$에서 $50^{\circ}C$까지의 범위에서는 증가할수록 효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. DCP의 중간생성물 연구는 GC/MS를 통해 실험하였다.

This study examined how the participation rates contribute to subjects' outcomes after a nutrition education (once/week) and exercise (3 times/week) intervention program for 12 weeks in 44 obese female subjects. The subjects were divided into two groups: high-participator (HP) or low-participator (LP) groups according to their participation levels based on the median visit value (30 visits out of a total of 48 visits). Daily nutrient intakes assessed by a 24-hour recall, body composition, blood lipid profiles and physical fitness were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. After the intervention, weight, BMI, percent body fat, and the waist-hip ratio were significantly decreased in the HP group. In addition, the HP group had a greater rates of changes in weight (HP group: -6.6% and LP group: -3.1%, p < 0.01), BMI (-7.0% and -3.2%, p < 0.01), percent body fat (-7.8% and -4.2%, p < 0.05), and waist-hip ratio (-3.1% and -0.4%, p < 0.01) compared to the LP group. Energy-adjusted protein, fiber, potassium, vitamin $B_1$, vitamin $B_6$, and vitamin C were significantly increased in the HP group. The HP group showed a significant increase in HDLcholesterol and a decrease in blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and atherogenic index (AI). While the muscle endurance, muscle strength, power, agility and flexibility were significantly increased in the HP group, agility and balance were improved in the LP group. In addition, dietary behavior score was significantly increased and stress score decreased in the HP group compared to the LP group. High participation rates were correlated with the improvement of the nutrient density (protein, fiber, potassium, Vitamin $B_1$, Vitamin $B_2$, Vitamin $B_6$ and folate), anthropometric parameters (body weight, BMI and percent body fat), serum lipid profiles (HDL-cholesterol, Triglyceride, and AI) and physical fitness (muscle endurance) adjusted for age, menopausal status, alcohol drinking, nutritional supplement use and baseline BMI. Our results suggest that high participation in nutrition education and exercise program was effective not only for weight reduction but also for the improvement of physical fitness in obese women.

The primary goal of this study was to compute sample sizes required to achieve the each aim of a variety of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) surveillance programs, using a statistically valid technique that takes the following factors into account: sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of diagnostic test system, desired minimum detectable prevalence, precision, population size, and desired power of the survey. In addition, sample sizes to detect FMD if the disease is present and also as proof of freedom were computed. The current FMD active surveillance programs consist of clinical, virological, and serological surveillance. For the 2012 serological surveillance, annual sample sizes (n = 265,065) are planned at four separate levels: statistical (n = 60,884) and targeted (n = 115,232) at breeding pig farms and slaughter house, in together with the detection of structural proteins (SP) antibodies against FMD (n = 88,949). Overall, the sample size was not designed taking the specific aims of each surveillance stream into account. The sample sizes for statistical surveillance, assuming stratified two-stage sampling technique, was based to detect at least one FMD-infected case in the general population. The resulting sample size can be used to obtain evidence of freedom from FMD infection, not for detecting animals that have antibodies against FMD virus non-structural proteins (NSP). Additionally, sample sizes for targeted surveillance were not aimed for the population at risk, and also without consideration of statistical point of view. To at least the author's knowledge, sampling plan for targeted, breeding pig farms and slaughter house is not necessary and need to be included in the part of statistical surveillance. Assuming design prevalence of 10% in an infinite population, a total of 29 animals are required to detect at least one positive with probability of 95%, using perfect diagnostic test system (Se = Sp = 100%). A total of 57,211 animals needed to be sampled to give 95% confidence of estimating SP prevalence of 80% at the individual animal-level with a precision of ${\pm}5%$, assuming 800 herds with an average 200 heads per farm, within-farm variance of 0.2, between-farm variance of 0.05, cost ratio of 100:1 of farm against animals. Furthermore, 779,736 animals were required to demonstrate FMD freedom, and the sample size can further be reduced depending on the parameters assumed.

Recently, there are many researches in order to increase the deposition rate (D/R) and improve film uniformity and quality in the deposition of microcrystalline silicon thin film. These two factors are the most important issues in the fabrication of the thin film solar cell, and for the purpose of that, several process conditions, including the large area electrode (more than 1.1 X 1.3 (m2)), higher pressure (1 ~ 10 (Torr)), and very high frequency regime (VHF, 40 ~ 100 (MHz)), have been needed. But, in the case of large-area capacitively coupled discharges (CCP) driven at frequencies higher than the usual RF (13.56 (MHz)) frequency, the standing wave and skin effects should be the critical problems for obtaining the good plasma uniformity, and the ion damage on the thin film layer due to the high voltage between the substrate and the bulk plasma might cause the defects which degrade the film quality. In this study, we will propose the new concept of the large-area multi-electrode (a new multi-electrode concept for the large-area plasma source), which consists of a series of electrodes and grounds arranged by turns. The experimental results with this new electrode showed the processing performances of high D/R (1 ~ 2 (nm/sec)), controllable crystallinity (~70% and controllable), and good uniformity (less than 10%) at the conditions of the relatively high frequency of 40 MHz in the large-area electrode of 280 X 540 mm2. And, we also observed the SEM images of the deposited thin film at the conditions of peeling, normal microcrystalline, and powder formation, and discussed the mechanisms of the crystal formation and voids generation in the film in order to try the enhancement of the film quality compared to the cases of normal VHF capacitive discharges. Also, we will discuss the relation between the processing parameters (including gap length between electrode and substrate, operating pressure) and the processing results (D/R and crystallinity) with the process condition map for ${\mu}c$-Si:H formation at a fixed input power and gas flow rate. Finally, we will discuss the potential of the multi-electrode of the 3.5G-class large-area plasma processing (650 X 550 (mm2) to the possibility of the expansion of the new electrode concept to 8G class large-area plasma processing and the additional issues in order to improve the process efficiency.

많은 나라에서는 화력발전소 석탄연소 잔재물로 생산되는 석탄재를 소량의 시멘트와 혼합, 저강도 콘크리트를 만들어 지반함몰지, 폐갱도, 도로관거 뒷채움재 등으로 재활용하는 방안이 석탄재의 대규모 처리방안으로 자주 검토된다. 본 연구에서는 석탄재로 저강도콘크리트를 만들어 콘크리트 내 중금속함량 변화를 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 시멘트만을 사용하는 경우와 시멘트의 반을 비산재로 대체하는 경우, 모래를 골재로 사용하는 경우, 그리고 회처리장의 매립재로 모래골재를 대체하는 경우에 대한 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 중금속농도 변화를 고찰하였다. 중금속 함량은 토양오염공정시험기준에 따라 이루어졌으며, 중금속함량에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 재료들도 평가하였다. 연구결과, 시멘트는 다른 어떤 재료들 보다 Cu, Pb, Zn에서 현격히 높은 중금속농도를 보였다. 이로 인하여 시멘트를 비산재로 대체할 경우 중금속 농도는 뚜렷이 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 매립재는 전체적으로 비산재에 비하여 낮은 중금속농도를 보였지만, 모래보다는 높은 Cu 및 Ni농도와 낮은 Pb농도를 보였다. 전체적으로는 콘크리트 내 중금속농도는 각 재료의 혼합에 의하여 결정되는 양상을 보였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 공시체는 모든 조사된 항목에 있어 토양환경보전법이 정한 토양오염우려기준(1지역)보다 현격히 낮은 농도를 보였다.

In order to investigate the possibility of using mixed rare earth $(Nd_{1/3}Eu_{1/3}Gd_{1/3})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (NEG123) as the superconducting layer of the HTS coated conductor, the NEG123 thin film was deposited epitaxialy on LAO(100) single crystal and IBAD_YSZ metal templates by pulsed laser deposition. Systematic studies were carried out to investigate the influences of deposition parameters of PLD on the micro structure, texture and superconducting properties of NEG-123 coated conductor. Deposition at oxygen partial pressure of 600 mTorr was needed to routinely obtain high quality NEG123 films with $J_c$'s (77K) over 2 MA/$cm^2$ and Tc's over 90K (${\Delta}T{\sim}2\;K$). We verified from magnetization study that the NEG123 has an improved in-field Jc as the field increases at temperatures between 10 K and 77 K compared with Gd123. The $J_c$ (77K, self field) and the value of onset $T_c$ of NEG123 thin film on LAO substrate was $4.0MA/cm^2$ and 92K, respectively. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of coated conductors with NEG123 film as the superconducting layer which have Ic and Jc over 40 A/cm-width and 1.6 MA/$cm^2$ at 77K, self field. This study shows the possibility of using NEG123 film as the superconducting layer of the HTS coated conductor which can be used in high magnetic field power electric devices.

페나실브로미드와 치환아닐린류와의 반응속도를 메탄올과 DMF중에서 전기전도도 법으로 측정한 결과 반응속도는 치환기의 전자를 주는 능력이 강할 수록 빨랐으며, 메탄올 속에서 보다 DMF 속에서 더 빨랐다. ${\delta}H^{\neq}$와 ${\delta}S^{\neq}$ 사이에서는 등속 관계가 성립하였으며, 이때 등속 온도는 메탄올에서는 $539^{\circ}K$, DMF에서는 $400^{\circ}K$ 였다. 그러나 p-니트로 아닐린은 용매효과 때문에 직선에서 벗어났다. $Br{\o}nsted$ plot의 경우 메탄올과 DMF에서 log k = 0.57p$K_a$-1.28 (r = 0.996) in MeOH at $45^{\circ}C$; log k = 0.65p$K_a$-0.88 (r = 0.970) in DMF at $45^{\circ}C$,로서 좋은 직선관계가 성립하였다. Hammett${\sigma}$ 도시 결과 이 반응은 아닐린의 친핵치환 반응이었으며, 다음의 식이 얻어졌다. log k/$k_0$ = -2.00${\sigma}$ + 0.06 (r = 0.985) in MeOH; log k/$k_0$ = -2.22${\sigma}$ + 0.08 (r = 0.995) in DMF. 그리고 DMF에서 $4-NO_2$기가 직선에서 벗어났다. 이는 치환기에 의한 용매효과에 기인하는 것이라고 생각된다. 이상의 결과로부터 본 반응의 치환기 효과는 전이상태에서 결합의 형성이 보다 우세한 $S_N2$ 메카니즘으로 진행되고 있으며, 결합의 형성은 DMF 용매에서 더욱 진행되고 있다.
