Due to the enlargement and high-rise of reinforced concrete structure, the application of high functional material is required. However, high-strength bar is recently introduced to the country and the material is insufficient to measure the variation of quantity of rebar quantitatively when using high-strength bar. For these reasons, this study is to provide useful data in cost decision making when applying high-strength bar at a stage of architectural project planning. For residence-commerce complex buildings, we set up six types of conditions such as in case of using only rebar, in case of using only high-strength bar, in case of using rebar mixed with high-strength bar and so on. With the standard of study model 1 that applies only SD400 regardless of rebar diameter, the analyzed result of rebar variation and the cost change of construction in other study model is as follows. When the rebar amount and cost in study model I was 100%, each ratio was 88.3% and 90.5% in study model II, 80.2% and 83.4% in study model III, 91.9% and 93.5% in study model IV, 88.9% and 87.7% in study model V and 82.4% and 85.5% in study model VI. Therefore, in case of rebar amount and construction cost, study model III was evaluated as the best that was applied only SD600.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to research an anti-thrombus effect by Diospyros Kaki Calyx. Methods : The healthy human plasma were gained and used in vitro study such as factor X activity (FXa) inhibition, prothrombinase inhibition, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time. Fifteen SD rats were divided into three groups ; intact control group (orally administrated with distilled water 5ml/kg) and two experimental group treated with extract of diospyros kaki calyx (EKC). Experimental rats were orally 600 mg/kg concentration of EKC and 200 mg/kg concentration of EKC. After an hour from administration, we anesthetized rats and made arteriovenous (AV) shunt rat models to study weight of thrombus, took whole blood to study content of thromboxane B2 and blood clotting time. Results : In vitro, EKC significantly increased inhibitory activity of FXa, prothrombinase compared with intact control group ($^*P$ <0.05). PT and aPTT were increased in EKC treated (600 mg/kg) group compared with intact control group ($^*P$ <0.05). In vivo, blood clotting time of experiment group treated with EKC 600 mg/kg were significantly increased compare with that of intact control group (p<0.05) and content of thromboxane B2 was significantly decreased in group treated with EKC 600 mg/kg in serum. The weight of thrombus were significantly reduced in group treated with EKC 600 mg/kg compared with intact control group (p<0.05). But in vivo experiment study, those parameters of group treated with EKC 200 mg/kg were relatively decreased compared with those of intact control group without statistical significance. Conclusions : EKC has an antithrombic activity because of inhibition internal course such as FXa and prothrombin. And EKC inhibited a hole blood clotting in vivo experiment by low content of thromboxane B2.

Cordyceps militaris has been known as a Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of tuberculosis, asthma, kidney disease, debility and fatigue etc. This study was attempted to investigate the therapeutic effect of C. militaris extract on the cytotoxic activity of HepG2, human hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride in SD rats. C. militaris extracts inhibited significantly the proliferation of HepG2 cells in vitro. Carbon tetrachloride(CCl₄) caused a significant an increase in liver weight, serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and alanine aminotransferase(ALT) activity, alkaline phosphatase(ALP), serum thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), microsomal TBARS, and decrease in microsomal detoxification enzymes (cytochrome P-450, P-450 reductase, cytochrome b5, b5 reductase). TBARS and ALP in serum pretreated with C. militaris extracts (300mg/kg/day, 600mg/kg/day) was significantly reduced compared to control group(CCl₄). Cytochrome b5 and b5 reductase activities were significantly increased in CM300 (300 mg/kg/day) and CM600 group(600 mg/kg/day), and cytochrome P-450 reductase was significantly increased in CM300 group. Pretreatment (100, 300, and 600 mg/kg/day for 7 days) of C. militaris with CCl₄ was significantly inhibited the accumulation microsomal TBARS and the significantly increased in the cytochrome P-450 activity. These results suggested that C. militaris (300mg/kg/day for 7 days) has appreciable therapeutic effect on CCl₄ induced hepatotoxicity.

This study attempted to identify obese students' stress and coping method in middle and high schools. The data were collected from the total of 600 obese students from middle and high schools in Pusan. The author used a convenience sampling method. The data collection was done from March 2 to April 30. 2001. The analysis of the data was done with SPSS Win(10.0) for descriptive statistics. t-test. and ANOVA. The instrument used for the obese students' stress and coping method was a questionnaire developed by Kim. Yi-Soon and Kim. Young-Hae(200l). The tool was composed of 65 items (33stress items: 32coping method items) with the five-point Likert scale. The results were as follow: 1. The average score of stress was 2.49 (SD = .86) points in the male students. and 2.83(SD= .86) points in the female students. The subcategories were: (outward appearance), (boyfriend/girlfriend), (occurrence of an outbreak of a disease), (relationship within the family), (an obese appearance), (difficulty in exercise). The highest degree of stress came from 'an obese appearance' for the male students (mean=2.64. SD=0.87) and (mean=2.64. SD=0.87) for the female students. 2. The subcategories of the coping method were: (be concerned about other matters), (recreation activities), (self-violence), (relaxation), (hobby activities), (avoid a situation), (communication), (music), (negative behavior), (positive thinking). The highest degree of coping method were (recreation activities) in the male students (mean=3.07. SD=0.86) and (music) in the female students (mean=3.47. SD=1.01). 3. The results comparing stress with demographic variables were significant for gender (t=7.010. p=0.000). grades at school (F=2.918. p=0.02l), degree of obesity (F=5.205. p=0.006). grades (F=2.550. p=0.027). standard of living(F=8.277. p=0.000). the state of health (F=2.882, p=0.022), relationship with the father (F=4.790, p=0.001), relationship with the mother (F=6.080, p=0.000), and the educational level of the father (F=3.192, p=0.013). 4. The results comparing the coping method with demographic variables were significant for gender (t=4.597. p=0.000). These findings contribute to the understanding of the degree of stress and the type of coping methods of obese students in middle and high schools. Therefore, the result of this study aids in an effective nursing intervention to improve the mental health program for the obese.

We have fabricated ZnO thin film on $Pt/TiO-2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by the sol-gel method and have investigated the effect of annealing temperature on the structural morphology and optical properties of ZnO thin films. The ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the highest c-axis orientation and its FWHM of X-ray peak is $0.4360^{\circ}C$. In the results of surface morphology investigation of ZnO thin film by using Am it is observed that ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the largest UV (ultraviolet) exciton emission at around 378nm and the smallest visible emission at around 510nm among these of ZnO thin films annealed at various temperatures. It is deduced that the ZnO thim film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ is formed most stoichiometrically since the visible emission at around 510nm comes from oxygen vacancy or impurities.

In this paper, the properties of Mo as PMOS gate electrodes were studied. The work-function of Mo extracted from C-V characteristic curves was appropriate for PMOS. To identify the electrical and chemical stability of Mo metal gate, the changes of work-function and EOT(Effective Oxide Thickness) values were investigated after 600, 700, 800 and 90$0^{\circ}C$ RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing). Also it was found that Mo metal gate was stable up to 90$0^{\circ}C$ with underlying SiO$_2$through X-ray diffraction measurement. Sheet resistances of Mo metal gate obtained from 4-point probe were less than 10$\Omega$/$\square$ that was much lower than those of polysilicon.

Effect of raising types and environmental conditions on the infection of Toxoplasma in the swine, the cat and the man were studied in Cheju Island from Sept. 1987 to Aug. 1988. Blood samples were taken from 214 conventionally raised swine in 6 villages and 506 swine raised in swine specialized farms, 122 cats raised under free moving or restraned conditions in 8 locations, 113 butchers, and 210 villagers. Toxoplasma antibody values of the blood sera were determined using the enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The eating type of viscera was also investigated by using questionaires 1. When ELISA method was used, the percentage of Toxoplasma infected swine among the conventionally raised and of those raised in swine specialized farms were 60.7% and 21. 390, respectively. The respective mean of antibody values (${\pm}SD$) were 0.589 (${\pm}0.310$) and 0.385 (${\pm}0.237$) and differed very significantly (p<0.01). A significant difference was also found in antibody values among 6 villages (p<0.05). 2. The mean infection percentage of toxoplasma in the cat was 38.2%. the infection percentage for cats raised under free-moving and re~;trained condition were 37.0% and 38.2% respectively. The respective antibody values(${\pm}SD$) for toxoplasma were 0.600(${\pm}0.614$) and 0.637 (0.645), and did not difference significantly. 3. The infection percentage of toxoplasma in villagers and butchers were 26.2 and 38.3% respectively. The respective antibody values (SD) for toxoplasma were 0.429(${\pm}0.195$) and 0.341 (${\pm}0.236$), and differed very significantly (p<0.01). There were also highly significant differences Pyo-sun and other village (p<0.01). 4. Analysis of the questionaires showed that 26.0% of 392 villages eated liver and some villagers eated other viscera.
