Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the oriental cause and treatment of the polyhidrosis of hands and feet. Methods: It was studied 47 kinds of Oriental Medical literature for polyhidrosis of hands and feet Results: Polyhidrosis of hands and feet due to lowered superficial resistance brought on by deficiency of qi. Main pathogenesis(病因病機) is the heat in the middle energizer(中焦熱) such as heat in the stomach(胃熱) and the spleen and stomach heat stagnation(脾胃積熱), deficient in Yin and Yang, qi and blood(陰陽氣血), and retention of undigested food(食積) due to improper diet(飮食不能). Treating method(治法) is eliminating dampness and regulating the stomach(淸熱燥瀑和中), invigorating, replenishing spleen qi(補益脾氣), and nourishing the stomach Yin(滋養胃陰). Treating prescription(治方) is presented as Palmultang with Additional Ingredients Rhi.zoma Pinelliae, Pona for principle drug Rhi.zorm Typfwnii Radix Aconiti for adjuvant and messenger drug(八物湯加半夏 茯笭君 白附子 川烏爲在使), Daeshihotang(大柴胡湯), Cheongbisan(淸脾散), Moryeosan(牡蠣散) etc. The external treatments(外用法) are described as ways of washing hand and foot after steaming with boiled Decoction(牡蠣散) of AJurnen(白礬); Radix Puerariae(乾葛), Radix Astragali(黃?); Radix Puerariae(乾葛), Herba Schiwnepetae(荊芥); Radix Saposhnikoviae (防風), 白礬(AIumen). The acupuncture recipes (鍼治療法) are the toninfication(補) of Buryu(KI 7)(復溜) ; Eumgeuk(HT 6)(陰?), tonification(補) methods of Buryu(KI 7)(復溜) ; Gihae(CC 6)(氣海) and reduction(潟) of Hapgok(LI 4)(合谷), the reduction(潟) of Hapgok(LI 4)(合谷), tonification of Buryu(Kl 7)(復溜), reduction(潟) of Jigu(TE 6)(支溝) ; Taechung(LR 3)(太衝) ; Yangneungcheon (GB 34)(陽陸泉). and selection of points of Hapgok(Li 4) (合谷) and Nogung(PC 8)(勞宮). The Tui-na therapies (推拿療法) are removing heat from the stomach meridian(淸胃經O) and so on.

Kisspeptin has been implicated in the process of puberty onset in various animal groups. This peptide is encoded by a gene, Kiss1 in avian and mammalian species. Contrary to these higher vertebrates, however, fish appeared to have another gene, Kiss2 that also codes for the precursor peptide of kisspeptin. To figure out biological significance of this gene during the puberty onset in fish, the expression profile of Kiss2 gene was investigated in the brain of Nile tilapia together with genes of GPR54, GnRH receptorI (rGnRHI) and GTH subunits ($LH{\beta}$ and $FSH{\beta}$). Expression of Kiss2 mRNA significantly increased at 2 weeks post hatch (wph) and 13 wph ($P$<0.05). This increase coincided with the increases of GPR54 and rGnRH I gene expression. Detection of $LH{\beta}$ and $FSH{\beta}$ subunit gene expression was possible later than 13 wph, indicating the activation of gonadotrophs in the pituitary. Data obtained from this study strongly suggest that, in addition to Kiss1 gene, Kiss2 gene is deeply associated with the onset of puberty by the activation of hypothalamus pituitary gonadal axis in Nile tilapia.

Changes of quality properties of fermented tofu prepared with two molds like Actinomucor elegans (AE) and Rhizopus oligosporus (RO) and coagulants (CaCl$_2$ and citric acid) were investigated. Moisture and crude protein of fermented tofu were rapidly decreased during fermentation, the contents of crude lipid and crude ash were shown to be slightly increased, ad then total acidity was slowly decreased. The content of reducing sugar of fermented tofu was slowly increased for 7 day of fermentation, but rapidly increased after that time because of rapid hydrolysis of carbohydrate in fermented tofu. The contents of amino and ammonia type nitrogen were quickly increased during fermentation. The highest contents of amino type nitrogen of fermented tofu were found in sample of CaCl$_2$group as a coagulant and RO group as a mold. Contents of minerals in tofu fermented for 14 day were high in order of K>Ca>Mg>Na. Iin conclusion, AE was more effective than RO to enhance the contents of reducing sugar and amino type nitrogen as an indicator of fermentation within 7 day of fermentation, and then RO was more effective than AE after that time. Calcium chloride as a coagulant was more effective than citric acid in tofu fermented with the same strain for 14 day.

The formation and development conditions of the cloud streets over the yellow sea by the Cold Surge of Siberian Anticyclone Expansion which produce the heavy snowfall events over the southwestern coast, Honam District of the Korean peninsula, has been investigated through analyses of the three dimensional snow cloud structures by using the CAPPI, RHI, VAD and VVP data of X-band Radar at Muan Weather Observatory and S-band Radar at Jindo Weather Station. The data to be used are obtained from January 04, 2003, when heavy snow storm hits on Gwangju and Honam District. The PPI Radar images show that the cloud bands distribute in perpendicular to the expansion direction of the high pressure and that the radius of cloud cells is about 5~8 km with 20~30 dBz and distance between each cell is about 10 km. And but the vertical Radar images show that the cloud street is a small scale convective type cloud within height of about 3 km where a stable layer exists. From the VVP images, the time period of the high pressure expansion, the moving direction and development stages of the system are delineated. Finally, the vertical distribution of wind direction is fairly constants, while the wind speed sheer increases with altitude to 3 km.

The instability of two-phase loop thermosyphons was investigated experimentally and analytically. Three orifice type inserts were used to study the effect of change in the pressure drop in the flow channel of the TLT on the flow instability and temperature fluctuation. It is observed that a decrease in the size of the orifice insert from 3.7 mm (no insert) to 0.71 mm drastically reduced the fluctuation of the temperature, especially at the evaporator section of the TLT. With the orifice type insert of 0.71 mm for the TLT, the overall temperature fluctuation was almost completely eliminated, especially at higher power input to the TLT The analysis based on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability theory seems to predict reasonable well the loop stability state of the TLT with experimentally determined constant factors.

A new progressive advanced approach (Loop thermosyphon Thermoelectric Power generation System) is suggested to optimize heat recovery ability from vehicle exhaust gas. As an initial look at device feasibility, the present new TE system adopted the loop thermosyphon as a cooling heat exchanger. The TE system with loop thermosyphon was investigated in terms of working fluids, instability of system, amount of working fluid, and so on. Basically, the present experimental works have been focused on finding the optimum working condition of the system to improve thermoelectric power output and to obtain stable power generation to operate hybrid vehicles. The present experimental results with the loop thermosyphon TE module shows possibilities as an improved TE system for future thermoelectric hybrid vehicles.

Low NPSH and high pressure pumps we widely used for turbopump systems, which have an inducer and operate at high rotating speeds. In this paper, a meanline method has been established for the preliminary design and performance prediction of pumps having an inducer for cavitating or non-cavitating conditions at design or off-design points. The method was applied for the performance prediction of a fuel pump. Predicted performances by the method are shown to be in good agreement with experimental results for cavitating and non-cavitating conditions. The established meanline method can be used for the performance prediction and preliminary design of high speed pumps which have a inducer, impeller and volute.

Today, according to the temperature lowering of VLSI technology which have been required, the new thin film technology of low temperature have appeared. Plasma CVD method, one of low temperature technologies, have major problems with many interface trap defects. In this paper, we prepared ammonia free SiN film containing small H that acts as a defect impurity, and investigated the electrical properties of Laser assisted deposition film.
