  • We evaluated the performance of the NOW $Streptococcus$ $pneumoniae$ urinary antigen test, standard culture and polymerase chain reaction for detecting $S.$ $pneumoniae$. The urinary antigen test of pneumonia patients represented sensitivity at 72% and specificity at 79%. The results of PCR were targeting for autolysin ($lyt$A), pneumolysin ($ply$), and spn9828. The $lyt$A sensitivity and specificity stood at 56% and 87% respectively while $ply$ sensitivity reported 83% and specificity was 47%, sensitivity and specificity of spn9828 stood at 83% and 73% respectively. The results of urinary antigen test and three genes were all statistically meaningful within $P$ <0.05. When the urinary antigen test of $S.$ $pneumoniae$ was positive, the three kinds of genes were also likely to be positive. According to the result of urinary antigen test, the results of PCR presented a meaningful difference ($P$ <0.05). Especially, the urinary antigen test of $S.$ $pneumoniae$ was likely to be positive ($P$ <0.05) when more than two genes were positive in PCR results.

  • By the recently, Environmental pollution is serious by the highly economic growth and expansion of lively country basic industry. Especially, in case of industrial waste and life waste leaped into a pollution source. Also, research for processing of waste and recycling countermeasure is a pressing question on national dimension because it is prohibited an ocean disposal and reclamation. In this study, it looked for fracture characteristic value of recycling a coal ash to decrease environmental pollution by picky and exhaustion of natural resources and to reduce self-weight to prepare for a tall building and earthquake. So a coal ash examined to be possible to do as construction material. It achieved compressive strength test and three points bending test with initial notch depth rate and age for variables to show a basic research data. From the basis of the three points bending test, the fracture parameters - notch sensitivity, fracture energy, initial compliance were experimentally proposed. From the results of the compressive strength test, the elastic modulus was experimentally proposed. Also on the basis of the three points bending test, the fracture parameters - notch sensitivity, fracture energy, initial compliance were experimentally proposed. The results that the strength and fracture energy value are lower than concrete or mortar is described in this paper. Also, it shows that the deflection at fracture decreases as the age increases and the notch sensitivity decrease. However, it is judged to be available to construction material if research is continuously gone forward.

  • The European Economic Community four plate test(EEC 4-plate test, FPT, EU) has been used for monitoring antimicrobial drug residues in meat by Local Veterinary Service Center in Korea. This study was performed to evaluate sensitivity and group specificity of some antimicrobial drugs in FPT and to compare FPT with Charm II test. The minimal detectable levels of targeted antimicrobial drugs tested with standard solutions were 0.025∼1.0 ppm for 7 beta-lactams, 0.5∼1.0 ppm for 4 aminoglycosides, 0.05∼0.5 ppm for 5 macrolides, 0.05∼0.25 ppm for 3 tetracyclines and 0.25&1.0 ppm for 6 sulfonamides. In comparison of FPT and Charm II test, the results of FPT were not accord with those of Charm II test having the group specificity of seven families of antimicrobial drugs in meat samples except some families like tetracyclines.

  • A new smooth bore test barrel was developed to be used in sensitivity assessment test for explosives and fragment impact test. The bore diameter of the barrel is 20 mm, and the powder chamber is designed to be replaceable with the 12.7 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm type chamber. The test results showed the wide range of fragment velocity from 400 to 2000 m/s, included the fragment velocity requirement of the fragment impact test(alternate procedure #1) in MIL-STD-2105B. The stability of the bullet trajectory was checked by test shots and the structural safety of the system has been confirmed through the stress analysis and the interior ballistics analysis of the barrel.

  • It is well known that finite element analysis often has the inaccuracy when they are in conflict with test results. Model updating is concerned with the correction of analytical model by processing records of response from test results. This paper introduce a model updating technique using the frequency response function data. The measurement data is able to be used directly in the FRF sensitivity method because it is not necessary to identify. When a damping model is updated, it is necessary for the sensitivity matrix to be divided Into the complex part and real part. As an applying model, a cantilever and a rotor system are used. Specially the machined clearance($C_p$) of the journal bearing is updated.

  • Sequential Sensitivity Analysis (SSA) and conditional stimulus model have been developed to describe sequence effects in difference tests and proposed to generate prediction of differences in sensitivity between various test protocols and to assist the appropriate selection of difference test. Yet, such models did not furnish a complete explanation of the relative sensitivity in 4 different versions of 3-alternative forced choice (AFC) tests where various interstimulus rinses were introduced. In the present study, the vector of the contrasts between various conditional stimuli were measured using same-different and 2-AFC and a new 16-distribution conditional stimulus model was developed by refining Lee and O'Mahony's contrast model. This new model gave superior predictions than previous models.

  • The interest of austenitic heat resistant stainless steels containing high Si has increased because they have higher resistance of oxidation and higher strength at high temperature than STS 310. This study carried out Varestraint test for evaluation of solidification cracking sensitivity of 14 different stainless steels. As a result of Varestraint test, all specimens solidified as primary ferrite, and solidification crack sensitivity increased with adding $N_2$ to shielding gas. Nb and W had beneficial effect on solidification crack resistance in case of less than FN 2 containing, but crack sensitivity increased with Nb and W in case of more than FN 2. Ce had beneficial effect on solidification crack resistance but impaired weld bead appearance.

  • In this paper, an effective mount design method using vector synthesis is presented for two mount systems. For designing mount stiffnesses effectively, we perform a sensitivity analysis, i.e, identify the contribution rate of an input component vector to the total output vector. Especially, we show that it is necessary to takea phase sensitivity into consideration in case of two mount systems, such as the excavator mount systems having engine mounts and cabin mounts. THe proposed method is testified is testified through an test bed.

  • 본 연구는 간호대학생의 윤리적 가치와 윤리적 민감성이 인성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 임상실습을 경험한 간호학과 3, 4학년 356명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 수행되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 20.0 프로그램을 활용하여 t-test, ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson 상관계수, 단계적 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구 결과 인성에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 윤리적 민감성 중에서 환자중심간호영역이었으며(${\beta}=0.258$), 윤리적 가치 중 간호사협동자관계영역(${\beta}=0.153$) 점수가 높을수록, 종교(${\beta}=0.131$)가 있는 경우, 윤리적 민감성 중 전문적책임영역(${\beta}=0.101$)의 점수가 높을수록 인성에 긍정적 영향을 주었으며, 이상의 변수들은 인성의 43.3%를 설명하는 것으로 나타났다(F=44.960, p<.001). 본 연구를 통하여 윤리적 가치와 윤리적 민감성이 인성에 영향을 주는 중요한 변수임을 확인할 수 있었으며 인성 함양을 위해 이러한 요인들을 고려한 다학제적 융합교육 수업방안 마련이 필요하다.
