Purpose: This study aims to examine whether the kinesio tape method can relax perimenstrual symptoms and decrease the menstrual pain of those who complain of perimenstrual discomforts. Method: This study has been designed to use the nonequivalent control group in the pre and post-test. The data have been collected from unmarried females complaining of perimenstrual discomfort and living in D city from the 2nd of February through the 10th of April, 2002. An experimental group of 32 people and a control group of 35 people were chosen, and they were first investigated for symptoms before and after menstruation when the menstrual pain was the severest and for the VAS measurement of menstrual pain. For the experimental group, the kinesio tape method was conducted two times a week for three weeks (six times in all), and the control group remained intact. The investigations after the experimental treatment were carried out in the same way as before. The measuring instruments were the peri menstrual measuring instruments of symptoms of 42 items and the menstrual pain was measured by VAS Result: The primary hypothesis: The experimental group who used the kinesio tape method would experience less perimenstrual discomfort than the control group who did not use it. The first sub-hypothesis: The first sub-hypothesis that suggests 'The experimental group who used the kinesio tape method would experience more relaxation of perimenstrual symptom than the control group who did not use it' was supported. The second sub-hypothesis: The second sub-hypothesis that suggests that 'The experimental group who used the kinesio tape method would get lower scores of menstrual pain of VAS than the control group who did not use it' was supported. Conclusion: These results of the study show that the kinesio tape method is effective in relaxing perimenstrual symptoms and lessening menstrual pain.

The superconducting property measurement system is used to acquire electrical and thermal properties on short HTS tape samples and the system is composed of specimen holder for mounting HTS tape and a magnet for applying magnetic fields externally. The magnet consists of two split racetrack windings and is designed to produce maximum 3T of center field. The temperature of specimen holder can be varied in range from 10K to 77K. The field homogeneity is required less than 300 gauss stray field contour within 20cm axially and 3cm radially from origin. We have worked on the conceptual designs of the conduction-cooled magnet for the superconducting characteristic measurement system. The measurement system will be fabricated in near future based on the design parameters presented in this paper.

Background : The purpose of this study is to identify the level of positive influence on the pain and the gripping power in patients with tennis elbow by comparing the TENS treatment method and the kinesio taping therapy with good accessibility among the kinesio taping therapy and electrical therapy. Methods : Targeting the patients diagnosed with tennis elbow, the subjects were categorized in groups of four, each of electrical therapy group and kinesio tape therapy group where the degree of pain reduction through VAS before and after the treatment of each group and the measurement of the degree of gripping power increase using the gripping power measurement tool as well as the pain reduction changes and gripping power increase before and after the treatment between the two groups were compared. Result : As a result, the electrical therapy group and the kinesio tape group were able to obtain the results of pain reduction and gripping power increase through VAS before and after the treatment, but for all pain reduction and gripping power increase, it had no statistically significant changes(p>.05). In addition, in the changes of pain reduction and changes of gripping power increase before and after the treatment, there were no statistically significant differences between the electrical therapy group and the kinesio tape group(p>.05). Conclusion : Based on the results so far, it is thought that the kinesio taping therapy can positively influence the pain reduction of patients with tennis elbow and increase of gripping power.

Many methods of in vitro SPF evaluation have been developed in order to measure SPF of sunscreen products. In this study, we compared two spectrophotometric in vitro measurements using the skin cast made of Luviset CAP- $X^{R}$ resin and Transpor $e^{R}$ tape as substrate with two in vivo measurements using guinea pig and human. And we also observed the radiation reaching on the earth's surface in Seoul for one year and the change of the primary skin irritancy along the change of SPF value. According to the our research, the first, in vivo measurement using guinea pig had the close agreement with SPF measurement using human and showed the tendancy that guinea pig SPF was lower than human SPF. The second, there was the good relationship between in vitro SPF by using Transpor $e^{R}$ tape and in vivo SPF, and it is possible to predict human SPF from Protection Index(PI) by using tape. The third, it is thought that SPE 20 is reasonable value because of UV intensity in Seoul and the primary skin irritancy of higher SPF than 25. So we propose that it is important to distinguish the sunscreen product having higher than approximate 25 from the category of general cosmetics including lower SPF sunscreen product.oduct.

The major advantage of the in vitro test is that it is a rapid, objective and cost-effective screening methodology. In vitro tests can provide a formulation tool to identify new fillers that are optimized by combinations of old ones and they can be used to pre-screen protective formulas prior to in vivo testing in humans. Therefore, the accuracy of in vitro SPF measurement is very important. In this study, improvement of application method of samples was tried to improve the accuracy of in vitro SPF measurement. The outer part of Transpore$\^$(R)/ tape was used to apply samples as the substrates and the standard drying time was set at 15 min. The new method, topical applications at light scan areas, results in more accurate and reliable results. This result suggests that more accurate prediction system can be established for in vivo SPF with in vivo SPF measurement.

In order to describe external effects on the behavior of the adhesive tape, the semi-rigid body cylinder chain model for adhesive tape has been proposed as follows. Firstly the behavior of the tape is in detail investigated while it's being pulled off from the plate, and subsequently a relevant phenomenological model is designed. Then all the contributors affecting the force to peel out the tape from plate (hereafter, the pull out force) are clearly defined and their sensitivity analyses are made to set up the experimental reference condition, under which the angular dependence of the pull out force is measured in every $10^{\circ}$. The experimental data turn out to be in good agreement with the theoretical ones by our model within the measurement error, and the effects due to other factors are proved to be well explained from the phenomenological viewpoint. From these results, the concept of this study might be expected to be very useful for the test and evaluation of PSA types of adhesive tape.

Considering the application of high temperature superconductor to MRI, the loss at conductor joint would be very important. Therefore, we have carried out a measurement of joint resistance of Bi-2223/Ag tapes at 77 K. A pancake coil was wound by Bi-2223/Ag tape. Both ends the tape were overlapped and soldered to each other. The DC current is induced in the pancake coil by energizing the excitation coil wound by copper wire closely located to the pancake coil. The decay behaviour of the current in coils was clearly separated in two regimes, and initial fast decay of the order of minutes followed by a slow logarithmic-like decay, From this data, the resistance of the joint was evaluated as 2.74 n$\Omega$.

Alternating current (AC) losses of two Bi-2223 ([Bi, Pb]: Sr: Ca: Cu: O = 2:2:2:3) tapes [(Tape I, un-twist-pitch) and the other with a twist-pitch of 10 mm (Tape II)] were measured and compared. These samples, produced by the powder-in-(Ag) tube (PIT) method, are multi-filamentary. Also, it's produced by non-twist and different twist pitch (8, 10, 13, 30, 50 and 70 mm). The critical current measurement was carried out under the environment in liquid Nitrogen and in zero-field by 4-probe method. Susceptibility measurements were conducted while cooling in a magnetic field. Flux loss measurements were conducted as a function of ramping rate, frequency and field direction. The AC flux loss increases as the twist-pitch of the tapes decreased, in agreement with the Norris Equation. Neutron-diffraction measurements have been carried out investigate the crystal structure, magnetic structures, and magnetic phase transitions in Bi-2223([Bi, Pb]:Sr:Ca:Cu:O)

The dispersion characteristics of tape meander line were analyzed by electromagnetic field theory. The several different tape meander lines were photoetched on copper printed-bakelit substrate, and these tape meander line structures were inserted into the X-band waveguide. Phase bridge method was used for the dispersion characteristics measurement of meanderline. The measured. results were plotted on diagram(Brillouin diagram) and compared with theoretical values. Measured results were consistent with theoretical Values. But, on the measured diagram, passband midfrequency was lower than theoretical value. It was believed that the discrepancy was due to the backelite loading. The group velocity of stagger tuned meander line was higher than that of uniform meander live, and the freqnency band of constant group velocity of stagger tuned meanderline was sider than that of uniform meander line.
