Purpose: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate effects of a critical pathway (CP) for stroke patients seen in emergency rooms (ER). Method: The CP developed by the CP committee consisted of 8 criteria: behavior of doctors and nurses, laboratory tests, Image testing, medication, treatment, activity, and nutrition. According to application of CP, a control group (n=17) and experimental group (n=17) were defined. Time was checked by the electronic medical records. Result: Use of CP for stroke patients in the ER, resulted in a decreased length of stay in ER (t=2.341, p=.026), and time required for image testing (t=2.623, p=.021), and an increased number of patients using rtPA ($x^2$=4.802, p=.049). Time required for neurology doctor contact, for neurology doctor to see patient in the ER, and for report of blood tests decreased, but there were no statistical significance. Conclusion: Quick responses are most important in the ER, so CP for these patients is a very effective patient management tool. To reduce delay in stroke diagnosis, continuous education programs for similar symptoms are necessary. CPs for other patients in the ER should be developed, and studies on cost and satisfaction, as well as length of stay, should be done.

For the classification of B. burgdorferi sensu lato strains, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was performed. PCR was carried out with B. burgdorferi sensu lato specific primer set (BB uni set), and amplicons of 470-bp DNA were digested with Alu 1. The Alu I restriction polymorphism of the amplicons provided a useful tool for identifying B. burgdorferi sensu late strains. Both amplicons from B. burgdorferi sensu stricto and B. garinii except HPI strain showed identical RFLP pattern (50 bp, 70 bp, and 150 bp), but amplicons from B. afzelii and B. garinii showed two types of subgroups, respectively. The result of PCR-RFLP using extracted DNAs from ticks was similar to those patterns of B. burgdorferi species including B. afzelii.

Passive samplers have been used for personal, indoor, and outdoor air monitoring of VOCs at ppb concentrations in community and office environments. The path length of modified passive sampler was shortened, so it was intended to increase an uptake rate. The performance of the modified 3M 3500 organic vapor monitor(OVM) as a tool for assessing exposures to toxic air pollutants in nonoccupational community environments was evaluated using combined controlled test atmospheres of six selected target volatile organic compounds(VOCs): benzene, methyl tert-butyl ether(MTBE), chloroform, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, and toluene. The experiments were conducted by exposing the dosimeters to concentrations of $50{\sim}100{\mu}g/m^3$ on six face velocity(0.00, 0.02, 0.06, 0.12, 0.20, 0.30 m/sec) for 24 hours. If the uptake rate was increased, that means that we could use the passive sampler more effectively. The uptake rates were increased linearly according to reduce the path length. Although the diffusion path length was shortened, the change of uptake rate was within ${\pm}25%$ of theoretical value, indicating that the modified passive sampler(TM) can be effectively used over the range of concentrations and environmental conditions tested with a 24-h sampling period if the face velocities were over 0.12 m/s for 6 components of VOCs. But when the face velocities were less than 0.12 m/s, uptake rates were reduced more than expected values. So, the passive sampler with the shortened path length should be used at indoor or outdoor environment where the face velocity should be over about 0.10 m/s. If the path length was shortened more, the uptake rate was more effected by starvation.

It is generally known that in high speed work with more than 1000 m/min cutting speed, according to the work material phenomenon of tool wearing is increased due to the some produced neat and as a result this makes the cutting work impossible. In this study, the high speed cutting is possible because of the different cutting from the presently known fact. That is, most of generated heats influence on the quantity flowing in chip greatly. Therfore, this study aims at the behavior of cutting heat generated at high speed cutting. It makes clearly the euqntity of heat flowing in chip, work materal, tool, and inflowing ratio. The cutting mechanism varies by the changing of cutting depth, slant face and contact area through this study. And it is exammined that the influence of heat of all parts is greatly due to the change the contact length of clearance face. It is confirmed from the exp[eriment that the inflowing heat ratio influences the cutting speed greatly and the heat of clearance face can not be disregarded.

According to the advancement of experimental techniques in molecular biology, genomic and protein sequence databases are increasing in size exponentially, and mean sequence lengths are also increasing. Because the sizes of these databases become larger, it is difficult to search similar sequences in biological databases with significant homologies to a query sequence. In this paper, we present the N-gram indexing method to retrieve similar sequences fast, precisely and comparably. This method regards a protein sequence as a text written in language of 20 amino acid codes, adapts N-gram tokens of fixed-length as its indexing scheme for sequence strings. After such tokens are indexed for all the sequences in the database, sequences can be searched with information retrieval algorithms. Using this new method, we have developed a protein sequence search system named as ProSeS (PROtein Sequence Search). ProSeS is a protein sequence analysis system which provides overall analysis results such as similar sequences with significant homologies, predicted subcellular locations of the query sequence, and major keywords extracted from annotations of similar sequences. We show experimentally that the N-gram indexing approach saves the retrieval time significantly, and that it is as accurate as current popular search tool BLAST.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is well established as an indispensable tool of molecular biology; and yet a limitation for cloning applications continues to be that products often require subsequent restriction to be that products often require subsequent restriction digests, blunt-end ligation, or the use of special linear vectors. Here a rapid, PCR-based system is described for the simple, restriction enzyme-free generation of synthetic, 'restriction-like' DNA fragments with staggered ends. Any 3'- or 5'-protruding terminus, but also non-palindromic overhangs with an unrestricted single strand length are specifically created. With longer overhangs, "Restriction-PCR" does not even require a ligation step prior to transformation. Thereby the technique presents a powerful tool e.g. for a successive, authentic reconstitution of sub-fragments of long genes with no need to manipulate the sequence or to introduce restriction sites. Since restriction enzyme-free and thereby devoid the limitations of partial DNA digests, "Restriction-PCR" allows a straight one-step generation and cloning of difficult DNA fragments that internally carry additional sites for specific sequence insertions or deletions can be precisely engineered into genes of interest. With these properties "Restriction-PCR" has the potential to add significant speed and versatility to a wide variety of DNA cloning applications.

A5J32-T4 and A5052-H32 dissimilar aluminum alloy plates with thickness of 1.6 and 1.5 mm were welded by friction stir lap welding (FSLW). The FSLW were studied using different probe length tool and various welding conditions which is rotation speed of 1000, 1500 rpm and welding speed of 100 to 600 mm/min and material arrangement, respectively. The effects of plunge depth of tool and welding conditions on tensile properties and weld nugget formation. The results showed that three type nugget shapes such as hooking, void, sound have been observed with revolutionary pitch. This plunge depth and material arrangement were found to effect on the void and hooking formation, which in turn significantly influenced the mechanical properties. The maximum joint efficiency of the FSLWed plates was about 90% compared to base metal, A5052-H32 when the A5052-H32 was positioned upper plate and plunge depth was positioned at near interface between upper and lower plates.

Developed m this research is a production information system for marie propellers. The paper deals with surface modeling and tool path generation modules of the system. Since the input point data may have some errors, the data is examined using the 2nd divided difference. The point data is interpolated to a $G^2$ chord-length spline surface with some end-conditions. The effects of the various end-conditions on the interpolated surface are discussed in the paper. The tool paths for blade, fillet, and boss of the propeller are generated. Some illustrative examples from an industry are presented.

The continuous chip generated in cutting process deteriorates workpiece, tool, and machine tool system. It is necessary to treat this continuous chip in ductile material machining condition for stable cutting. This paper deals with the chip control method using acoustic emission(AE) signal in pure copper turning operation. AE raw signals, root mean square(RMS) signals and wavelet transformed signals measured in turning process are introduced to analysis for chip patterns. With analysis of AE signals, it is obtained that the produced chip patterns are correlated with the specified AE signals which are transformed by fuzzy pattern algorithm. By this experimental investigation, the chip patterns can be classified at significant level in pure copper machining process and controlled from continuous chips to reduced-length stable chips.
