  • Minipigs are regarded as one of the most important laboratory animal in that anatomical and physiological properties are similar to human and their reproduction efficiency is relatively higher compared to other large animal species. Particularly, several diseases that cannot be mimicked in rodent models are successfully occurred or induced in pig models therefore it has been interested in a valuable model for human diseases. Pigs are also 'standard' species in xenotransplantation research. To maximize experimental outcome using minipigs, establishment and management of proper animal facility, right animal husbandry and control of pathogens are very important. In this review, we summarized several international guidelines related with minipigs published by several companies or governments and discuss optimal conditions for providing informative ideas to the researchers who want to use minipigs in their future studies.

  • In order to develop a gas circuit breaker (GCB), the breaking performance of the short line fault (SLF) should be prioritized over that of the breaker terminal fault (BTF). In brief, it is necessary to evaluate the thermal characteristics of the insulating gas that is filled in a GCB. In the process of developing a GCB, many companies use the simplified synthetic testing facility (SSTF).In order to evaluate the SLF breaking performance of a GCB with a long minimum arcing time, a modifications to the conventional SSTF was proposed. In this study, we developed the SSTF with a modified transient recovery voltage circuit. The performance of the newly developed SSTF was verified by an $L_{90}$ breaking performance test on a rating combination of 170 kV, 50 kA, and 60 Hz.

  • This study aimed to provide data for planning of a small-sized complex-cultural facility for not only artists but also the common. The main interest of the study was to make them understand spirit related to the culture to each other. The data was collected from 100 artists in various art fields and 100 the common by a questionnaire and a visiting survey. The result of this study indicated that people had a little of chance to share their cultural opinions with others because there were not enough appropriate places even though they wanted it. Besides, they would like to use the place for their communication which consists of a range of their needs such as watching a play, listening to music, spending tea-time, etc.

  • The objective of this study is to propose an experimental calibration facility in which a heat flux sensor can be calibrated under conductive condition by using helium gas. The heat flux calibration facility was designed, simulated and manufactured for use in a high heat transfer condition. It delivers heat fluxes up to a maximum of 35 KW $m^{-2}$. A copper block heated electrically with 3.5 KW power is designed to produce uniform temperature up to 600 K across its face. High heat fluxes are provided between hot plate and cold plate by 1 mm height helium filled gap. A cold plate is maintained around 300 K through pool boiling using a refrigerant and water-cooled heat exchanger. A simulation was conducted to verify the design of the main test section. To verify the performance of calibration facility, a heat flux sensor was examined. The measured heat fluxes were compared to the calculated one.

  • The purpose of this research was to study the affects of atmosphere and convenience attributes on restaurant selection of customers aged between 50 to 60, referred to as new seniors. A survey was conducted with questions including convenience and atmosphere attributes (5 factors, 24 questions), respondents' dining-out behavior (6 questions), and general characteristics. For the analysis, SPSS 20.0 was used for the frequency analysis, factor analysis and ANOVA. The findings of this research are as follows : First, new seniors considered cleanliness (4.23) as the most important factor when choosing a restaurant. Convenient facility (3.89), ease of use (3.68), atmosphere (3.33) and children amenities (3.18) followed. Second, the importance of factors were compared according to the general characteristics. Based on gender, cleanliness and convenient facility showed a significant difference (p<0.05). Depending on whether they help raise their grandchildren and household type, the difference of ease of use and children amenities showed significance (p<0.05). Third, the importance of factors were compared based on their dining-out behavior. According to the average visits made to restaurants and the average payment per person, the difference of cleanliness and ease of use factors showed a significant difference (p<0.05). In addition, there were significant differences (p<0.05) on convenient facility and atmosphere factor depending on the average payment per person. The results of this research hopes to provide useful information to marketers targeting new seniors.

  • In this paper, we investigated electric safety manager's PL recognition and accident occurrence of electric power facilities(power cable, transformer, circuit breaker) in electric installation for private use. The target of questionnaire survey is 450 electric installations for private use, 154 responded the questionnaire among these and it occupied 35.8%. Most of receiving voltage were 22.900kV. The questionnaire survey says that 58% of electric safety manager knew well about PL contents and 42% of them did not recognize about PL contents, About the PL application of electrical facility accidents, 82.4% of them must applied PL law, 5.8% of them did not need the PL law. Reason of PL application occupied 64% for stability of electrical facility and product, 19% for prevention of same accident. The accident of transformer occupied most and the power cable accident were much next. The questionnaire survey results, electric safety managers are interested in PL content. thev expected necessity of PL application about electrical accident strongly.

  • The railway station is an important intermodal network point of the railway passengers who use the other transportation means and go to the destination. So at the railway station, the device of various intermodal transfer information is needed to transfer the other transportation means. In this paper, we study the passing characteristics of transfer traffic line of the passengers of railway station and the status of information provision for use of transfer facility and we describe the strategies of information provision according to the necessary intermodal transfer to use the other transportation means.
