Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) appears an effective and safe treatment modality for spinal bone metastasis, which can enhance local control and improve quality of life. Life expectation, predicted fracture risk, localization, quality, size and number of metastasis and presence or absence of nerve compression seem to be important factors in decision-making for treatment. Further studies are needed to identify subsets of patient which will most benefit from treatment.

This paper presents an accelerated life test of aviation taxiway lights installed in the airport to help safe navigation of airplanes at night or in bad weather. Recently halogen lamps of taxiway lights are replaced by LED ones and their reliability needs yet to be verified. Thus, effective test conditions are designed reflecting the failure modes and mechanisms from the previous studies on LED, which include the accelerated degradation process. The test is performed under the temperature $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ for two types of LED lights, taxiway center line lights(TCLL) and taxiway edge lights (TEDL). The failure time data were analyzed using lognormal distribution and Arrhenius model to find the life-stress relationship, acceleration factor and life characteristics under the normal condition temperature $30^{\circ}C$.

This paper deals with the topical problems of the Life Cycle Costs in connection with the rolling stocks. the LCC philosophy has already entered the third decade. this philosophy contributed towards the new relationship's comprehension between railway vehicle producers' and railway vehicle users' sphere. this leads together to the technical-economical solution convenient for the both sides. In the point of manufacturer, It is said that low operational costs could be reached using a well-designed and structured maintenance program. this is due to the proper technical analysis of critical components that leads to low costs of maintenance and a superior reliability without increasing the capital investment. but, This paper presents both topical experiences with the LCC models for the railways vehicles and also procedures during Life Cycle Costs calculations. In conclusion I want to introduce how to calculate LCC & what kinds of softwares are used based on VVVF EMU vehicle

In this paper, we design AVTMRWFSV(All Voting Triple Modular Redundancy With Fail-Safe Voter) System with a fail-safe output voter architecture and analyze RAMS(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) as system failure rate. This system is compared with AVTMR system for RAMS(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) with Markov modeling, and we can see that the system safety of AVTMRWFSV is more profitable than that of AVTMR. The dependability of AVTMRWFSV system is higher than that of AVTMR. Especially, safety is very profitable. So, this kind of system can be applied to embedded communication system and life critical systems - railway, airplane, ship, nuclear control system and so on.

This study was conducted to investigate the effective educational and promotional strategies for the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life on the basis of the survey conducted on parents. First of all, its result showed that most parents are well aware of the main contents of the law. They answered that, when choosing safe favorite food for children, the most important part is the article "Regulations on the standards for children's favorite food should be reinforced." As for the index of safety management for children's dietary life, most respondents think safety the most important; housewives and nuclear family members choose safety (p<.01), while large family members do nutrition. For the question asking how they get the information on safety management for children's dietary life, most of them answered that they generally use mass media, family and friends as a reference. Those with high income usually get the information from special books, those between 30s and 50 from mass media, and those with college graduates from civil social groups (p<.05). In case of taking the safety education programs for children's dietary life, they told that the most necessary information is concerned with hygienic dietary life and nutrition labeling on processed food; housewives are interested in the latter, while working people in the former (p<.05). As a method of informing parents of the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life, mass media such as TV and radio, and school education are suggested in this survey. Therefore, this study proposes that mass media be considered as the most effective way of promoting the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life and getting information concerning the law.

Hyperhidrosis of the palms, axillae, and the face has a strong negative impact on the quality of life for many people. Existing nonsurgical therapeutic options are far from ideal. A definitive cure can be obtained by upper thoracic sympathectomy. The traditional open surgical technique is a major procedure; few patients and doctors have found that risk-benefit considerations favor surgery. Endoscopic minimal invasive surgical techniques are now available. We investigated whether endoscopic ablation of upper thoracic sympathetic chain(T2-4) is an efficient and safe treatment of hyperhidrosis. We treated 40 patients with bilateral endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy. There were no mortalities, life-threatening complication, no treatment failures occurred in 40 patients. After a short-term follow-up, 100% of the patients reported satisfactory results. Endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy is an efficient, safe, and minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of palmar, axillary hyperhidrosis.

Although the working environment has changed significantly compared to the past, such as the implementation of the five-day work week and the aging of the population, it is not reflected in the current industrial accident index calculation such as frequency rate, severity rate, and safe T-score. In this study, statistical data were used to understand time-series trends such as increase in life expectancy, working age, shortening of working hours, and average age of death by accident. As a result of time series trend analysis of statistical data, life expectancy increased to 83.3 years, and the legal working age was raised to 65 years due to the aging of the population. Also, with the advent of the 5-day work week since 2001, the average annual working hours decreased to 2008.1 hours. It can be confirmed through statistical data that these phenomena are applied to the current working environment due to a complex action, and these environmental changes affect the calculation results of the industrial accident index.
