  • Winsborough Hall built by Martin L. Winehart who was the missionary of the Presbyterian Church of America in 1927 was built by Mrs. Winsborough's birthday contribution. Winsborough Hall was clearly divided into the original form built in 1927 and remodelled form by extension. Most of walls were constructed with several kinds of bricks for both sides and opening in the original form and remodelled form. Each room divided by inner wall was kept with original form because it is difficult to remodel it on the characteristics of building. But, it was confirmed through the related literatures that security of opening at some rooms and annexation of rooms through removal of the wall on the 2nd floor which was relatively easy to transform wall compared to the first floor were made. Variability of the wall affected the truss structure of roof and it created rare double truss structure. Architectural value of Winsborough Hall was in its first architectural trial using red brick in Gwangju region since 1920s. It suggested that it was differential architectural trial from Korean-Western mixed building constructed by the missionaries from 1940 to 1910 and buildings made of gray bricks prevailed from 1911 to 1920 and it showed the advancement in the architectural structure and materials.

  • FThe aim of this study was to carry out a preliminary test of the air quality modelling system (HIRES-AIRCHEM) developed at The University of New South Wales, particularly with regard to the forecast ozone distribution. This was achieved by assimilating the New South Wales State Environment Protection Authority (EPA) emissions inventory, consisting of road and non-road sources, and running the system over the Sydney metropolitan area for the four day period 25-28 February 1998. During this period ozone readings exceeded the EPA's goal of 8pphm on several occasions. The model forecasts of ozone distribution verified well with the EPA's ozone readings. This result has important implications for possible future use of the system as a tool for routinely predicting and assessing air quality.

  • Compared to studies on prosodic effects on the comprehension of syntactic ambiguity in English, there are relatively few that investigated prosodic effects in East-Asian languages. This study examined the role of prosodic information in processing syntactically ambiguous sentences in Japanese. For syntactically ambiguous sentences containing relative clauses, this paper investigated whether prosodic information is immediately available during the process of these ambiguous sentences. Results from an auditory comprehension experiment with an on-line, cross-modal naming task seemingly suggest that contrary to the findings from the off-line study that examined the same constructions, prosodic information may not be immediately available to Japanese listeners. A possible account for failure to obtain effects of prosodic information is provided.

  • Silkworm and silkworm-chrysalis as an edible insect have been investigated. Through this investigation, the following results are obtained : 1) Silkworm and silkworm-chrysalis as a good source of protein-rich compound was examined, and they contained 54.9% to 56% protein as a crude protein. 2) Except tryptophan, almost all the essential amino acids contained. The amount of the amino acids was on the increased as much as the silkworm growth. 3) The following amino acids was not detected on the silkworm fibron analysis, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, cystine and methionine. But the following amino acid were relatively high amount : glycine, alanine, and tyrosine. 4) Sucrose, fructose, and glucose as a carbohydrates was investigated, the results are from 0.312% to 0.313% as an invert sugar; 0.289% to 0.305% as a glucose; 0.333% to 0.412% as a fructose. 5) The acidity and pH of the milk was examined according to the silkworm-chrysalis powder added. added material was not effected as far as the milk was change. Therefore, the milk and the silkworm-chrysalis mixture are being a good drinkable things.

  • In 1965, Rosenberg reported that platinum compounds not only inhibit growth and cell division of E. coli but also has anti-tumor activity. Since then, through animal and clinical experiments by Welsch(1971), Speer(1972), Rossof(1972), Hill(1974), and Wittes(1975), it was proved that Cis-platinum has excellent supressive effects on malignant tumor, especially on head and neck cancer. Accordingly, Cis-platinum is now widely used, sometimes without any other durg, or sometimes with Bleomycin and Methotrexate etc. Inspite of the strong anticancer effect, the use of Cis-platinum is quite often discouraged because of the reports that Cis-platinum causes auditory impairment at high frequencies above the speech range due to inner ear damage and irreversible change in the renal tubules. Since Kohonen et al(1965), Standnicki et al(1974) reported that Cisplatinum has toxic effects at the basal turn of the cochlea using guinea pig, many studies on ototoxicity after infusion of Cis-platinum have been carried out using animals. But the studies on ototoxicity in human beings can hardly be found except in reports by Piel et al(1974) and Hong et al (1979). So the authors did a study which tried to clarify the ototoxic effect by comparing the hearing level after infusion of Cis-plastinum with the hearing level before infusion of Cis-plastinum in 30 patients who was treated with Cis-platinum and admitted to the dept. of otolaryngology of Yonsei University Hospital during 2 years and a half from July. 1979 to March. 1982 and the following results were obtained. 1) The results of auditory evaluation, using the pure tone average, hearing loss of 4kHz and 8kHz, Speech Reception Threshold, PB score, SISI showed that the difference of dosage does not change the hearing level after infusion of Cis-platinum and before infusion of Cis-platinum. 2) Cis-platinum had no effect on the hearing level of patients with conductive hearing loss, or with sensorineural hearing loss, as well as with normal hearing level. 3) The infusion of Cis-platinum did not cause any change in creatinine clearance, creatinine, uric acid, but only one case showed that Cis-platinum caused severe nephrotoxicity. 4) The infusion of Cis-plastinum did not cause any change in hemoglobin, leukocyte count, platelet count and there was no correlation with the amount of infusion. 5) To see the side effect of hydration practiced with the infusion of Cis-platinum, the electrolytes, particularly the K level in the serum was measured. But the results did not show any change. 6) Judging from the results of this study mentioned above, ototoxicity caused by infusion of Cis-platinum can be prevented by sufficient hydration. Also the results might say that the appropriate method of infusion of Cis-platinum might be effective in the patients with head and neck cancer who had sensorineural hearing loss for whom the infusion of Cis-platinum has been absolutely cotraindicated.

  • The physico-chemical properties of nine selected thallium borosilicate glasses and other 21 supplementary compositions were investigated. Their composition-property curves are found to be in many respects analogous to those of other borosilicate glasses containing lithia, soda, and lead oxide. It is indicated that certain minima found in the composition-property curves of thallium borosilicate glasses might be caused by a change in boron coordination as has been observed to occur in the $Na_2O-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glasses. Typical effects of thallium ions on the borosilicate glass are summarized as follows: 1) Addition of thallium ions increased density, refractive index, water solubility, linear coefficient of thermal expansion, and dielectric constant. 2) Increased concentration of thallium decreased the softening point of the glasses, caused fluorescence under ultraviolet radiation and smeared out the absorption edges up to $15{\mu}$ in the infrared region. An extensive liquid immiscibility was found by replication electron microscope technique in the $Tl_2O-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ system. The immiscibility covers a composition range roughly from 55 wt. % Tl2O to the binary system $B_2O_3-SiO_2.$ By acid treatment, it was found that the immiscible glass consists of separate silica-rich and boron-rich phases.
