  • Studies on the rate of growth, the rate of feeding and the efficiency of food conversion on the stage of new-born fries to the near adult size for three species of cuttlefishes , Sepia esculenta, Sepia subaculeata, Sepiella maindroni and two species of squids, Sepioteuthis lessomiana, Euprymna berryi were carried out in the process of artificial raising, and then argued about a feasibility of the propagation of cuttlefishes and squids. 1. The relation between the daily age (D) and the body weight(W) of Sepia exculent is expressed in a logarithmic equation, log W=3.0649 log D-4.2768. The daily rates of growth through 121 days of the raising period were 1.46 per cent for the man시 length and 1.67 percent for the body weight. The raipidest growth of Sepia esculenta is observed at the stage of 1 to 4 cm in the mantle length . At that time the daily rates of growth reach 3.3 to 5.5 percent for the mantle length and 10.4 to 12.0 percent for the body weight, respectively. The growth of Sepia esculenta varies a great deal to the bait. When fed on a dead bait the rates of growth decrease 17 per cent for the mantle length and 26 percent for the body weight compared with those fed on a live bait. 2. The relation between the daily age and the body weight of Sepia subaculeata is expressed in a logarithmic equation, log W=3.7447 log D-4.9003. The daily rates of growth through 110 days of the raising period were 1.63 percent for the mantle length and 1.83 percent for the body weight. The rapidest growth of Selia subaculeata is observed at the stage of 1.5 to 9.0 cm in the mantle length. At that time the daily rates of growth reach 3.1 to 7.4 percent for the mantle length and 6.8 to 16.7 percent for the body weight , respectively. 3. The relation between tehdaily age and the body weight of Sepiella maindroni is expressed in a ogarithmic equation , log W=2.9332 log D-3.8224 . The daily rates of growth through 133 days of the rearing period were 1.39 percent for the mantle length and 1.51 percent for the body weight . The rapidest growth of Sepiella maindroni is observed at the stage of 0.4 to 5.8 cm in the mantle length. At that time the daily rates for growth reach 4.6 to 7.3 percent for the mantle length and 8.5 to 15.4 percent for the body weight , respectively. 4. The daily rates of growth onthe stage of 0.5 to 6.0 comin the mantle length of Sepioteuthis lessoniana were 4.1 to 5.9 percent for the mantle length and 7.1 to 10.7 percent for the body weight . 5. During the rearing period of 31 days immediately after the hatching , the daily rateof feeding of Sepia esculenta marked 11.0 to 39.4 percent (28.2 percent in an average), and the efficiency of food conversion of this species reached 9.0 to 71.0percent (38.7percent in an average). Even at the more growing stage of 4.5to 6.2 cm in the mantle length, the daily rate of feeding of three species of cuttlefishes wee maintained 17.7 percent for Sepia esculenta, 30.8 percent for Sepia subaculeata and 34.7percent for Sepiella maindroni on an average. 6. The efficiency of food coversion of cuttlefishes and squids are larger than those of other fishes, and all the species are rapid in their growth. Four to five months are thought to be enough for their growing into a fair commercial size.

  • Cancer can be a major cause of poverty. This may be due either to the costs of treating and managing the illness as well as its impact upon people's ability to work. This is a concern that particularly affects countries that lack comprehensive social health insurance systems and other types of social safety nets. The ACTION study is a longitudinal cohort study of 10,000 hospital patients with a first time diagnosis of cancer. It aims to assess the impact of cancer on the economic circumstances of patients and their households, patients' quality of life, costs of treatment and survival. Patients will be followed throughout the first year after their cancer diagnosis, with interviews conducted at baseline (after diagnosis), three and 12 months. A cross-section of public and private hospitals as well as cancer centers across eight member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will invite patients to participate. The primary outcome is incidence of financial catastrophe following treatment for cancer, defined as out-of-pocket health care expenditure at 12 months exceeding 30% of household income. Secondary outcomes include illness induced poverty, quality of life, psychological distress, economic hardship, survival and disease status. The findings can raise awareness of the extent of the cancer problem in South East Asia and its breadth in terms of its implications for households and the communities in which cancer patients live, identify priorities for further research and catalyze political action to put in place effective cancer control policies.

  • Recently, ammunition malfunctions of the 40mm grenade were reported during live fire training. When 72 40mm grenades were fired by the army, 11 duds were encountered. The dud ammunition rate was approximately 15%. Because ammunition is used a long time after its manufacture, it is necessary to ensure its performance after long-term storage. In this study, we attempted to decrease the dud ammunition rate of 40mm grenade (K200) fuzes through quality improvement. First, it was determined by the detonator performance test that abnormal explosions occurred due to the degradation of the detonator as a result of its aging characteristics. Second, we improved the fuze quality of the 40mm grenade. Third, we tested its shelf life to estimate its life expectancy. The shelf life of the 40mm grenade fuze obtained using the Arrhenius equation was 6.5 years for the existing grenade fuze and 45.5 years for the improved grenade fuze. This showed that the shelf life of the improved grenade was increased approximately 7 times. Therefore, the improved 40mm grenade fuze contributes to the quality improvement of the 40mm grenade by decreasing the dud ammunition rate during long term storage.

  • The purpose of this study is to clarify the architectural meaning of the term 'Whole life Department Store' that appeared in newspapers' in the 1980s. A term of 'Whole Life Department Store' is appeared to explain the emergence of department stores, including the space for a wide range of programs and services they need to live, as well as sales. This word, "Whole life", is a compound of the Whole(全) and Life(生活) and word means the entire life. This will assume that you are separated life. So I was thinking that it could be described as regional facilities that classify and distinguish the necessary space for living and building maintenance, etc. in city and architecture since the modern. And Based on this, I would understand the whole life department as regional facilities. Generally a department store is a regional facilities for higher level living area. I analyzed the location and program of department stores at the time of the emergence of the term. Through this analysis department store was located in the daily range around the apartment complex and contained spaces for the daily life of the inhabitants apartment complex. It is significant in this particular department to be valid today and the term of 'Whole Life' department store is not longer used.

  • Computer graphic where the most useful and effective production methods are used for animation or films has expanded into actors' performance beyond object expression, background expression and special effect. Unlike 2D drawing software focusing on user's sense, 3D mainly depends on hardware performance and software functions. Therefore, for 3D users, learning 3D functions is directly related to new expression, and quick learning and effective representation are keys to productivity growth in animation industry. In line with industrial needs, basic 3D animation software training is provided in school. Unfortunately, however, many problems such as lack of professional instructors, time allocation and education environment prevent various 3D animation software from being taught. Moreover, functional use does not live up to industrial rapid trends. In order to improve effects of software functional education in restricted education fields, this research aims to find out what functions of 3D animation software are used in industries, what are those function used for, and how schools provide 3D animation software training.

  • Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is autosomal dominant disorder that occurs approximately 1 in 25,000 to 50,000 live births. The main signs of syndrome are hypoplasia of facial bone and microtia. One in third of them is associated with cleft palate and often shows dental hypoplasia. TCS patients need several number of surgery with general anesthesia throughout their life time for recovery of function and esthetic. Endotracheal intubation of TCS patient is very difficult due to microstomia, retrognathia, choanal stenosis, and decreased oropharyngeal airway. Therefore, general anesthesia of adolescent TCS patient with immature incisor roots has high risk of causing dental trauma. This case is regarding TCS patient who was referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Yonsei University for avulsed upper left central incisor during endotracheal intubation. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the usefulness of mouth guard to prevent dental trauma when endotracheal intubation is needed for TCS patient.

  • This study aims to reveal the meaning and essence of male immigrant workers' life who underwent industrial accidents through specific experiences. This study is based on the Van Manen(1990)'s lived experience phenomenological method, which actively describes the experiences about the industrial accidents in the perspective of male immigrant worker. The in-depth interviews were carried out with the thirteen male immigrant workers participants who underwent the industrial accidents. Through the interview, 121 meaning units and 38 disclosed themes were constructed. The following is the summarized results as 9 essential themes: < the oppression of the Industrial accident compensation insurance's hospitals to the aliens >, < being treated like the surplus man who lost the labor force >, < the class rank below despite undergoing the industrial accidents >, < survival having resistance sentiments >, < living at the anonymous lands as the Homo sacer >, < the stratified strategies between the immigrant workers >, < the origins as the bodiless shadow >, < struggling to escape the present conditions >, < present circumstances tied by the past experiences without hope >, researcher sought the essential meaning structure about the four Life-world Existentials (Body, The other, Space and Time) of constructing human's live-world. Based on the study results, some suggestions were made to restore the male immigrant workers' damaged quality of their lives who experienced industrial accidents and to contribute the social integration in view of the social welfare.

  • The current standard for testing tetrodotoxin (TTX) in foodstuffs is the mouse bioassay (MBA) in Korea as in many other countries. However, this test suffers from potential ethical concerns over the use of live animals. In addition, the mouse bioassay does not test for a specific toxin thus a sample resulting in mouse incapacitation would need further confirmatory testing to determine the exact source toxin (e.g., TTX, STX, brevotoxin, etc.). Furthermore, though the time of death is proportional to toxicity in this assay, the dynamic range for this proportional relationship is small thus many samples must be diluted and new mice be injected to yield a result that falls within the quantitative dynamic range. Therefore, in recent years, there have been many efforts in this field to develop alternative assays. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) has been emerged as one of the most promising options. A LC-MS-MS method involves solid-phase extraction (SPE) and followed by analysis using an electrospray in the positive ionization mode and multiple reactions monitoring (MRM). To adopt LC-MS-MS method as alternative standard for testing TTX, we performed a validation study for the quantification of TTX in puffer fish. This LC-MS-MS method showed good sensitivity as limits of detection (LOD) of $0.03{\sim}0.08{\mu}g/g$ and limits of quantification (LOQ) of $0.10{\sim}0.25{\mu}g/g$. The linearity ($r^2$) of tetrodotoxin were 0.9986~0.9997, the recovery were 80.9~103.0% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 4.3~13.0%. The correlation coefficient between the mouse bioassay and LC/MS/MS method was higher than 0.95.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze in advance the problems and improvements that may occur during the construction of intermediate slabs and the loading of intermediate slabs through the preliminary structural safety evaluation of intermediate slabs for Test bed structures in deep depth tunnels. The Test bed construction can verify and confirm the results of the design and construction technology development of large depth double deck tunnel through the process, and can also be used as a learning site for engineers and the general public to speed up the time of underground space development. There will be an opportunity to do this. In particular, the design load of middle slab built inside the circular deep-depth double-sided tunnel cross-section varies depending on the construction method and the construction equipment load used. Class 3 truck load of KL-510 assumed to be common load to upper and middle slab during loading and installation is loaded on upper and lower slab with different working position for each load combination Analyzed.
