In this paper, the performance characteristics for newly developed ejector refrigeration system, which is that the part of saturated vapor from liquid-vapor separator after ejector expansion process is entrained in ejector, and the saturated liquid flows in the evaporator and compressed with the rest of vapor in separator, is studied. The reasons of the performance improvement of refrigeration system are that the refrigeration capacity is increased due to quality reduction after iso-entropic expansion process by ejector and the compression work is reduced because of the relatively high pressure of vapor refrigerant before compression process. The comparison results of the ejector system entraining expansion gases with the present residential freezer show that the COP increases to 27.8% maximum in case of the pressure drop to 65% of high pressure of freezer, and to 40.1% for 75% pressure drop of refrigerant R401A. The COP improvement rate with 20%~60% pressure lift in diffuser of ejector is only 2.6%~3%.

An efficient and high-fidelity design approach for wing-body shape optimization is presented. Depending on the size of design space and the number of design of variable, aerodynamic shape optimization process is carried out via different optimization strategies at each design stage. In the first stage, global optimization techniques are applied to planform design with a few geometric design variables. In the second stage, local optimization techniques are used for wing surface design with a lot of design variables to maintain a sufficient design space with a high DOF (Degree of Freedom) geometric change. For global optimization, Kriging method in conjunction with Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used. Asearching algorithm of EI (Expected Improvement) points is introduced to enhance the quality of global optimization for the wing-planform design. For local optimization, a discrete adjoint method is adopted. By the successive combination of global and local optimization techniques, drag minimization is performed for a multi-body aircraft configuration while maintaining the baseline lift and the wing weight at the same time. Through the design process, performances of the test models are remarkably improved in comparison with the single stage design approach. The performance of the proposed design framework including wing planform design variables can be efficiently evaluated by the drag decomposition method, which can examine the improvement of various drag components, such as induced drag, wave drag, viscous drag and profile drag.

A computational simulation for a nonslender BWB UCAV configuration with rounded leading edge and span of 1.0m was performed to analyze its aerodynamic characteristics. The freestream is 50m/s over -4 to 26 degree A.o.A.s. Reynolds number based on the mean chord length is $1.25{\times}10^6$. 3D multi block hexahedral grids are used which allow good grid quality and ease to capture boundary layer. ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ model as well as $k-{\omega}$ SST model is employed to assess the effect of transition for flow behavior. Drag and lift of the UCAV were well predicted while $C_M$ is under predicted at high angle of attacks and influenced by the turbulence models strongly. After assessing pressure distribution, skin friction lines and velocity field around the UCAV configuration, it was found that transition effect should be considered to enhance the prediction of aerodynamic behavior by a vortical flowfield.

To grow the large diameter GaN with high structure and optical quality has been obtained by hydride vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE) method. In addition to the nitridation of $Al_2O_3$ substrate, we also developed a "step-growth process" to reduce or to eliminate the bowing of the GaN substrate caused by thermal mismatch during cool down after growth. The as-grown 380um thickness and 75mm diameter GaN layer was separated from the sapphire substrate by laser-induced lift-off process at $600^{\circ}C$. A problem with the free-standing wafer is the typically large bowing of such a wafer, due to the built in the defect concentration near GaN-sapphire interface. A polished G-surface of the GaN substrate were characterized by room temperature Double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXRD), photoluminescence(PL) measurement, giving rise to the full-width at half maximum(FWHM) of the rocking curve of about 107 arcsec and dislocation density of $6.2\times10^6/cm^2$.

Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given database. There are three primary quality measures for association rule, support and confidence and lift. In order to improve the efficiency of existing mining algorithms, constraints were applied during the mining process to generate only those association rules that are interesting to users instead of all the association rules. When we create relation rule, we can often find a lot of rules. This can find rule that direct relativity by intervening variable does not exist. In this study we try to discovery an insignificant rule in association rules by intervening variable. Result of this study can understand relativity about rule that is created in relation rule more exactly.

Recently, a variety of data mining techniques has been applied in various fields like healthcare, insurance, and internet shopping mall. Association rule mining is a popular and well researched method for discovering interesting relations among large set of data items. Association rule mining is the method to quantify the relationship between each set of items in very huge database based on the association thresholds. There are three primary quality measures for association rules; support and confidence and lift. In this paper we consider some similarity measures with negative co-occurrence frequencies which is widely used in cluster analysis or multi-dimensional analysis as association thresholds. The comparative studies with support, confidence and some similarity measures are shown by numerical example.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of life and it's related factors in caregivers of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patients. Methods : The subjects were 38 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patients' caregivers(mean age : $37.5{\pm}6.5$, 38 women). Patients were diagnosed with DSM-IV-TR ADHD criteria. Korean version of WHOQOL-BREF(World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment instrument Abbreviated Version) was used for assessment. Results : 1) No significant differences were found in the score of WHOQOL-BREF, overall QOL, physical health domain, psychological domain, social relationships domain and environmental domain between caregiver and control group. 2) The score of Activity of daily living facet$(3.0{\pm}0.7\;vs.\;3.6{\pm}0.7)(p=0.008)$ and self-esteem facet $(2.8{\pm}0.7\;vs.\;3.3{\pm}0.7)(p=0.049)$ were significantly decreased in caregivers of ADHD. 3) Total score of WHOQOL-BREF(r=0.437, p=0.007) and physical health domain(r=0.370, p=0.024) were correlated with caregiver's educational age. 4) In the psychological domain, the score of self-esteem facet(r=-0.337, p=0.039) and thinking, learning, memory & concentration facet(r=-.341, p=0.036) were decreased with caregiver's age. 5) The score of environmental domain were significantly increased with caregiver's educational age (r=0.482, p=0.003), but decreased with patient's age(r=0.328, p=0.044). Conclusion : Although the quality of life in caregivers of ADHD patient had not significantly decreased than control, the quality of lift were positively correlated with educational age of caregives, and negatively correlated with chronological age of caregivers and children. Above results suggest that physicians should consider integrated approaches for caregiver's subjective quality of life in the management of ADHD.

갈수시 하천의 수질문제는 다양한 요인에 의해 발생하고 제어된다. 수질 그 자체는 상류나 지류의 점오염원과 비점오염원의 증가 또는 예상치 못한 추가적인 오염원의 유출에 직접 영향을 받으며, 조류 등의 발생도 영향인자인 수온 및 일사량 또는 바람에 의존적이다. 최근 수년간은 특히 빈번한 가뭄조건의 발생으로 인하여 갈수기의 강우 및 유출량이 저조하여 상대적으로 하천의 조류발생이 다수 발견되고 보고된 바 있다. 이와 같은 수질의 이상상태를 일시적으로라도 제어하기 위한 방편으로 유량의 증가, 인위적인 하천 수위의 변동 및 유속 변동 등이 고려될 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 상류의 댐과 하천의 다기능보 등의 조절을 탄력적으로 수행하여야 한다. 이와 같은 시설물 운영효과는 수질문제의 원인을 근본적으로 해결하는 것은 아니지만, 이의 일시적인 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 기존의 수리 수질 모델링이 이상 수질 발생시의 방제 및 사후분석 등을 중심으로 이루어진 부분을 넘어서, 사전 설정된 조건에 의한 예측모의와 가이드라인의 연계방식이 효과적일 것이다. 본 연구는 수질 이상이 빈번히 발생되었던 낙동강의 칠곡 하류 하천을 중심으로 2차원 CE-QUAL-W2 모형과 EFDC모형을 병행 모의하여 다기능보 인근의 표층과 저층의 수온(밀도) 성층화 및 이의 해소와 관련된 수리모의 및 수질인자에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 수리모형 구축의 적정성은 현장의 실측 수온과 모의결과 비교를 통해 확인하였으며, 구축된 수리 수질 모델을 이용하여 추가방류량 3~23백만$m^3$ 규모에서 발생하는 수리적인 수층혼합 현상과 일시적으로 저감가능한 수질개선 효과가 의미있는 수준으로 나타날 수 있음을 예측하였다. 또한, 다기능보의 수문방류 모의시에 개방조건을 0.3~3.5m로 달리하여 방류기간 중 총방류량이 유사하더라도 최대방류량 또는 유속이 충분치 않은 경우에는 혼합효과가 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 연구에서 밝혀진 조건들을 향후 보다 효과적으로 수치모의하기 위한 방안으로서 EFDC모형의 내부경계조건을 다기능보의 문비조건(RSG, Lift 등)에 맞게 조정하는 방법을 제안하고 그 적용성을 검토한 뒤 모형을 부분 수정하여 제시하였다.

Purpose: Terminal cancer influences on patients as well as their family members. This research was performed to evaluate the quality of lift of primary family caregivers and to investigate the influencing factors. Methods: The results of survey were collected from 81 family caregivers who were taking care of hospitalized terminal cancer patients at an oncology department of university hospital in Daejeon from March 2005 to January 2006 with questionnaires. The questionnaires were consisted of the general characteristics of the subjects, and 36-items short-form Health Survey (SE-36) Korean version to evaluate the quality of life of family caregivers, the characteristics of patients and family caregivers' caring trait. Results: Family caregivers' mean (${\pm}SD$) SF-36 score was 47.9 (${\pm}20.7$). Influential factors on family caregivers' life quality were daily raring hours, economic burden, type of treatment; only supportive care, caring duration, sex, the numbers of ADLs (activity of daily livings) items that patients needed help in order by stepwised multiple logistic regression analysis (overall $R^2=0.639$, P=0.044). Conclusion: Daily raring hours and economic burden were two influential modifiable factors on family caregivers' quality of life. Therefore, social supportive systems are required to reduce family caregivers' daily caring hour and economic burden.
