  • The purpose of this study is to make a planning of Nosan Hasuk rural village development project based on rural amenity. The Nosan Hasuk rural village is located in Hyundo-Myun Cheongwon-Gun Chungcheongbuk-Do. For this study, investigate the amenity, make the bill of developing plan, and discuss the problems in rural integrated developing project. The developing plan is composed of basic planning, developing direction, village plans, and details projects. And, indicate the problems of rural integrated developing project those are the main body, standardization of investigated data, and insufficiency of detailed reference.

  • This article addresses potential barriers to sustained employment for rural low-income mothers. Drawing from a two panel longitudinal sample of 240 families from the Rural Families Speak project, it examines the extent to which human capital and family factors were related to these mothers' ability to be employed. Comparisons are made between mothers, who over a three-year period, were continuously unemployed, intermittently employed, or stably employed. Many of these rural low-income mothers faced multiple individual and family barriers that impacted their labor force participation. Notably food insecurity, mental health, caring for a young child, housing, and a family history of welfare were associated with less stable employment. The implications for public policy and service delivery are discussed.

  • This paper describes a software algorithm for automatic diagnosis of arrhythmia using the criteria of Minnesota code manual. This algorithm represents more accurate and more objective information to medical doctor by standardizing the criteria of diagnosis of arrhythmia. Because this algorithm doesn't need complicated mathematic processing, it carries out the real-time automatic diagnosis that is very important in clinic. The Decision-Table technology suggests the proper results for the given conditions. So it expresses the complicated medical problems simply and clearly, those are not solved by the mathematical methods. The Decision-Tables have very simple structure and so it is very easy to correct or expand the system by adding or correcting some rules.

  • Pathogenic effects of 29 different porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome(PRRS) virus isolates were investigated in swine tracheal ring(STR) cultures by examining their effects on the ciliary activity of STR. Inhibition of ciliary movement and destruction of the tracheal epithelium were seen between 72 and 96 hours postinoculation(PI). Virus replication was demonstrated by examining viral infectivity of the supernatants from the STR cultures. PRRS virus antigen in macrophages was detected by a streptavidin-biotin complex(ABC) immunoperoxidase method. Of the 29 PRRS virus isolates, 8 isolates were classified into pathogenic, and the remaining 21 isolates were determined as mildly pathogenic or apathogenic viruses. These results suggest that STR examination may be used as a method for predicting pathogenic variability of PRRS virus isolates.

  • A plasmid vector, $RSVLTR/{\beta}G2$, containing lacZ gene under the control of the RSVLTR promoter were transfected into chicken embryo fibroblasts by three different transfection methods. Calcium phosphate, lipsome and DEAE-dextran techniques were applied for transfection of chicken cells. A histochemical assay with X-gal was used as a simple method for screening transfected cells. Plasmid $RSVLTR/{\beta}G2$ was expressed proficiently in the chicken embryo fibroblast. Calcium phosphate-DNA precipitate transfection resulted in the highest efficiency for transient expression of $RSVLTR/{\beta}G2$. Transfected cells formed colonies on the 9th day of incubation indicating stable transformation of the inserted plasmid.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the small animal patients treated by Oriental medicine and develop the treatment strategies for small animal patients. Methods : 58 cases of small animal patients treated in the department of integrated medicine, Veterinary Medical Center, University of Minnesota, USA, from Jan 1 2003 to Aug 30 2003 were surveyed. Results : 1. The number of dog patients was more than that of cat patients and the female patients were more than the male patients. 2. The highest incidence was shown in the age of 6 to 15 on dogs and 11 to 15 on cats, respectively. 3. The number of patients via other hospital was as much as that of the first visitor to this department. 4. The most frequent disease was the musculoskeletal problems in dog patients and the internal medicine problems in cats patients. 5. The improvement rate was 85% in dogs and 86% in cats, respectively. Conclusions: Oriental medicine is supposed to be effective on relieving the symptoms and signs in small animal patients.
