  • Ionic currents through many different cation channels are specifically reduced by internal and/or external $Mg^{2+}$ within a concentration range of physiological relevance. Although there are many ways for a divalent cation to reduce channel currents, the current blockade by directly binding to a conduction pore has been most well studied.(omitted)

  • We develop parametric bootstrap model selection criteria in an example to fit a random sample to either a general normal distribution or a normal distribution with prespecified mean. We apply the bootstrap methods in two ways; one considers the direct substitution of estimated parameter for the unknown parameter, and the other focuses on the bias correction. These bootstrap model selection criteria are compared with AIC. We illustrate that all the selection rules reduce to the one sample t-test, where the cutoff points converge to some certain points as the sample size increases.

  • Propose: The expansion of the delivery market in franchise business is a positive means of advertising and promotion for franchisees and contributes to substantial sales growth for stores. However, unrestricted and uncontrolled delivery sales and business activity of franchisee directly lead to encroachment of business territory between franchisees, resulting in increased operating costs of franchisees and conflicts between franchisees over rights and interests on franchise business. Moreover, in relation to the restrictions on the opening of competitors, it is incapacitating the law intent of prohibiting unfair encroachment of business territory, in the issue of the Fair Franchise Act in regard to guarantee of exclusive sales and business activity rights of franchisee. This study aims to point out major problems arising out of franchisee's infinite competition on delivery sales and business activity that are not restricted or controlled and then suggest legal supplements, policy tasks, and practical implications for improvement on the issues. Literature Review: In franchising business transactions, vertical restraints are associated with the exclusive territory establishment, control of transaction area, restriction of intangible sales and business activity of franchisee. Therefore, in the franchise business, it is necessary to take positive interpretation and application on e-commerce, the area of e-commerce, and delivery trading area and find proper and practical ways, by virtue of constructive attitude of each actor, to reduce the encroachment of business territory and various conflicts caused by unrestricted delivery trading area. Conclusion and suggestion: The finding shows that unrestricted or uncontrolled delivery sales and business activity of franchisees cause encroachment of business territory and many conflicts among franchisees. And this matters also weaken the legislation of the law on the protection of the business territory and can be negative factors that disrupt the protection of identity and sound development of the franchise industry in the long run. Therefore, in the franchise business, it is necessary to take positive interpretation and application on e-commerce, the area of e-commerce, and delivery trading area and find proper and practical ways, by virtue of constructive attitude of each actor, to reduce the encroachment of business territory and various conflicts caused by unrestricted delivery trading area.

  • Engine noise is one of the major causes of the interior noise, and so has been studied in various ways in recent days. Recently air induction noise has been extensively studied to reduce the engine noise. Conventional method to reduce the noise is adding several resonators to the induction system. However this causes a reduction of engine output power and an increase of fuel consumption. Thus in this study, the feasibility of applying the active noise control to the induction system is studied to the overcome the above disadvantage.

  • One of the problems for cultivating crops in the mountainous highland is soil erosion and nutrients runoff. Alternative cropping ways were searched to reduce soil erosion and to ensure farm income in the mountainous highland agricultural region. Three edible wild plants including goatsbeard, Korean thistle, and aster, were selected to test as alternative crops to reduce soil erosion in mountain agriculture of highland area. In the first year, the soil losses from the alternative cropping were 26 to 63 percents of the soil loss from summer radish cultivated by conservation tillage with contour and plastic film mulching. The relative soil losses in the second year ranged from 2.8 to 5.5 percents in comparison with radish cultivation. Rapid surface coverage contributed to successive soil loss protection by these alternative crops. Farm net profit of these crops was greater than that of radish. Monitoring of yields of Korean thistle or aster for further experiments, however, might be necessary for economic cultivation due to yield reduction caused by consecutive production.

  • This paper intends to suggest a design to reduce the thermal load of a hand-carried ultrasound (HCU) system, with the aim of increasing the product life. To design ways to reduce the heat load, the surface temperatures of key parts of an HCU system were measured as the 4 system cooling fans, which have a direct relation to the system life, were operated normally. When the derating rate of 80% was applied while the fans of the HCU system were operated abnormally, it was observed that the key image processing parts exceeded the surface temperature (TC) with consideration to derating. Since the part surface temperature did not exceed the derated level when the regulated voltage was derated from 12V to 9V, it is expected to lower the operating voltage of the fans to 9V to increase the fan and HCU system lifetime by 1.8 times.

  • Recently, the porous duct is becoming one of Possible ways to reduce the intake noise of an automobile instead of using resonators. In this article, acoustic characteristic of the porous duct is investigated theoretically and experimently. Futhermore, 4-pole parameter of the porous duct is introduced to predict transmission loss of it for various case. Acoustic efficiency of the porous duct is shown with experimental result using a car.

  • This study was conducted to arrange the basic data for the ways to operate the effective nursing programs and reduce job stress by grasping the awareness, satisfaction and job stress of the nurses due to the introduction of EMR(EMR : Electronic Medical Record) system and clarifying the relationship among them. Methods: Of the hospitals which introduced EMR, the study was conducted for 356 nurses who used EMR in a university hospital in D city and the data was collected from June 1 to June 30. The collected data was analyzed with real number, percentage, T-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The results of the study above, it could be certified that the higher the satisfaction and awareness of the users of EMR were, the more the job stress of them decreased. Therefore, the qualitative nursing should be provided to the patients by reducing job stress with the improvement of the awareness and satisfaction of the nurses of EMR, and shortening the time in keeping the records of patients, in order to enhance the satisfaction of EMR, there should be a proper management, such as a regular EMR education, and there must be the ways to reduce the job stress of the nurses and strengthen the satisfaction of EMR.
