  • Clarify wind energy productivity depends on three factors: the wind probability density function(PDF), the turbine's power curve, and the air density. The wind PDF gives the probability that a variable will take on the wind speed value. Wind shear refers to the change in wind speed with height above ground. The wind speed tends to increase with the height above ground. also, Wind PDF refers to the change with height above ground. Wind analysts typically use the Weibull distribution to characterize the breadth of the distribution of wind speeds. The Weibull distribution has the two-parameter: the scale factor c and the shape factor k. We can use a linear least squares algorithm(or Ln-least method) and moment method to fit a Weibull distribution to measured wind speed data which data was located same site and different height. In this study, find that the scale factor is related to the average wind speed than the shape factor. and also different types of terrain are characterized by different the scale factor slop with height above ground. The gross turbine power output (before accounting for losses) was caculated the power curve whose corresponding air density is closest to the air density. and air desity was choose two way. one is the pressure of the International Standard Atmosphere up to an elevation, the other is the measured air pressure and temperature to calculate the air density. and then each power output was compared.

  • Color and its stability in venison, longissumus dorsi (LD) and quadriceps femoris (QF) muscles, from 8 wild Cervus nippon yesoensis (Japanese Yeso Deer) were investigated by means of the CIE L$^{*}a{*}b{*}$ measurement and autoxidation rate recorded using partially purified myoglobin. It was observed a common feature of the change of three mean values($L^{*}$, $a^{*}$ and $b^{*}$) in both LD and QF that mean value increased at 1 or 2 day post-mortem and then decreased during storage. The differences between 1 and 7 days was the largest in $a^{*}$ value than those in $L^{*}$ and $b^{*}$ values. The mean differences among storage days were only significant in $a^{*}$ except for $b^{*}$ of LD. It was same tendency that the mean difference of CIE $L^{*}$, $a^{*}$ and $b^{*}$ values during refrigerator storage was larger in $a^{*}$ than both in $L^{*}$ and $b^{*}$ reported in beef(Sekikawa et al., 1995) and venison(Stevenson et al., 1989) during storage. The smaller $a^{*}$ value was indicated that bright red of meat changed to dull red, brown red causing met-Mb formation. To compare of color stability with respects to the Mb autoxidation rate, we measured this rate of deer and horse muscles, because horse Mb was considered to have the fastest autoxidation rate among domestic animals, and we used crude Mb and pH 6.0, which might be reflected to the intact meat. Mean value of the autoxidation rate measured in this study in deer was 0.037 and that was 0.026 in horse(sigma). Although there was no significant mean difference and were different Mb purity between deer(A409/A 280 nm = 4.0) and horse(5.6), in generally Mb purity was the higher and the faster autoxidation rate, but this rate in deer was faster than in horse. These results might indicate that venison meat discolors at faster rate compared with beef.

  • While using an electrokinetic method to analyze the characteristics of cement solidification of radioactive wastes from decontaminated uranium soil and concrete, the compressive strength, pH, electrical conductivity, irradiation effects, and volume expansion were measured for the solidified cement specimens. The workability of cement solidified from radioactive waste was about 170-190%. After the solidified cement was irradiated, the compressive strength decreased by about 15%, but met the criteria ($34kgf{\cdot}cm^{-2}$) of KORAD (Korea Radioactive Waste Agent). According to the results of SEM-EDS for solidified cement, the aluminum phase was well combined with cement, while the calcium phase was separated from cement. The volume of solidified cement in radioactive wastes was dependent on the waste-to-cement ratio and the amount of water, and increased by about 30% under the conditions used in this study. Therefore, it was concluded that permanent disposal of electrokinetically decontaminated radioactive wastes is appropriate.

  • To develop a crab-like flavorant from snow crab cooker effluent (SCCE, $20^{\circ}Brix$), optimal reaction conditions were determined using response surface methodology (RSM) combined with reaction flavoring technology (RFT). Using five variables (proline, glycine, arginine, methionine, fructose), RSM based on a five-level central composite design was applied to evaluate sensory acceptance (odor, taste, and overall acceptance) as dependent variables. A model equation obtained from RSM showed 0.88 of R-square for odor, 0.90 for taste, and 0.95 for overall acceptance with 0.07 lack of fit in overall acceptance (P<0.05). Odor score (predicted value) was 7.21 in the saddle point. Optimal flavoring conditions for making a crab-like flavorant were as follows: addition of 0.29 g of proline, 0.63 g of glycine, 0.61 g of arginine, 0.02 g of methionine, and 1.07 g% (w/v) of fructose into SCCE with RFT (90 min at $130^{\circ}C$). Odor score obtained under optimal conditions was 7.56, which was higher than the predicted value.

  • Tantalum-containing metal oxides, well known for their efficiency in water splitting and H2 production, have never been used in visible light driven photodecomposition of H2S and H2 production. The present work is an attempt in this direction and investigates their efficiency. A mixed metal oxide, ZnFe2Ta2O9, with the inclusion of Fe2O3 to impart color, was prepared by the conventional ceramic route in single- and double-calcinations (represented as ZnFe2Ta2O9-SC and ZnFe2Ta2O9-DC respectively). The XRD characterization shows that both have identical patterns and reveals tetragonal structure to a major extent and a minor contribution of orthorhombic crystalline system. The UV-visible diffuse reflection spectra demonstrate the intense, coherent and wide absorption of visible light by both the catalysts, with absorption edge at 650 nm, giving rise to a band gap of 1.9 eV. Between the two catalysts, however, ZnFe2Ta2O9-DC has greater absorption in almost the entire wavelength region, which accounts for its strong brown coloration than ZnFe2Ta2O9-SC when viewed by the naked eye. In photocatalysis, both catalysts decompose H2S under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) and produce solar H2 at a much higher rate than previously reported catalysts. Nevertheless, ZnFe2Ta2O9-DC distinguishes itself from ZnFe2Ta2O9-SC by exhibiting a higher efficiency because of its greater light absorption. Altogether, the tantalum-containing mixed metal oxide proves its efficient catalytic role in H2S decomposition and H2 production process also.

  • Background and objective: Pravastatin has been shown to have favorable risk-benefit profile when it is administered to hypercholesterolemic subjects to prevent cardiovascular events. However, subjects with impaired OATP1B1 activity may be more susceptible to pravastatin-induced muscle toxicity than subjects with normal OATP1B1 activity. A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effect of SLCO1B1 genetic polymorphism on pharmacokinetics of pravastatin. Method: Medline$^{(R)}$ and Embase$^{(R)}$ were searched for relevant studies until July 2013. The search terms used were pravastatin AND (SLCO1B1 OR OATP1B1 OR LST1 OR SLC21A6) AND (gene OR $genetic^*$ OR $genomic^*$ OR $pharmacogenet^*$ OR $pharmacogenom^*$ OR $polymorph^*$). Results: A meta-analysis of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of pravastatin in $SLCO1B1^*15$ and $SLCO1B1^*1a/^*1a$ was conducted. Five studies met all the inclusion criteria and methodological requirements. There was no statistically significant difference in the AUC value between $SLCO1B1^*15$ and $SLCO1B1^*1a/^*1a$ (p=0.728). However, $SLCO1B1^*15$ participants exhibited significantly higher AUC values than $SLCO1B1^*1b/^*1b$ carriers (p<0.001). In case of $SLCO1B1^*15^*15$ carriers, they had significantly higher AUC value than $SLCO1B1^*1a/^*1a$ subjects (p=0.002). Lastly, compared with to the subjects of $SLCO1B1^*1a/^*1a$, the carriers of heterozygous $SLCO1B1^*15$ increased the AUC value of pravastatin statistically significantly in Asian population (p=0.014). Conclusion: The present meta-analysis suggests that subjects with $SLCO1B1^*15$ are associated with increased AUC of pravastatin.

  • ursing as a profession is characterized by its holistic, mind-body-spirit approach to the patient. Also, nurses have historically been the leaders in health education and promotion. Parish nursing has a great potential for providing primary preventive health care. services as well as assisting people to access the health care system. While working in the community, parish nurses see the church as the new arena for delivering health care services. The parish nurse program was introduced by Granger Westberg in 1984. The concept of parish nursing is based on several beliefs; health is multidimensional and affects all aspects of an individual-physical, psychological, social, and spiritaul being. Parish nursing is one model in which churches can cooperatively work with health care institutions to address the needs of their parishioners. The role of the parish nurse is emphasized in four basic area: a) health education, b) health counseling, c) referal services, and d) facilitation and organization of support groups within the congregation. The parish nurse programs work chiefly in congregation or commuity where a certain language of faith is ready at hand. This means that the parish nurse works in an ecology of meanings and care which encourages the drawing on the message of God's grace, the practices and habits it encourages. The parish nurse may be involved in the church's health ministries and may work on either paid or volunteer basis; however, one of the most important qualification of the parish nurse is to have the nursing knowledge and skills to practice within the standards of Nursing Practice Act. The completion of standards of practice for professional nurses practicing as parish nurses had been identified as a priority by the HMA Executive Board (1996, HMA). In conclusion, parish nursing promotes health and healing by empowering the faith community, family, or individual to incorporate health and healing practices. There are several preconditions that should proceed to establish the foundation for successful development of the parish nursing program in Korea. First, reciprocal relationship with home health nursing should be considered. Second, correct terms and concepts of parish nursing should be studied and understood. Third, systematic study and investigation should be followed for further development of parish nursing. Fourth, strengths and weaknesses of different models should be studied to develop proper model of parish nursing for Korean situation. Finally, consensus of standardized education program and corporation with various religious communities as well as health institutions should be established. When these preconditions are met, the role of parish nursing as a new program for the promotion of holistic health will be established.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze how consumers make links between convenience meat products and self-relevant consequences and value. Surveys on convenience meat product consumption patterns and hard laddering based on means-end chain theory were conducted from April 21 to April 25, 2014 and targeted 200 consumers in the US. The most preferred cooking method of convenience meat product was roast (25.9%) and the most common information medium was suggestions by friends and parents (37.1%). The main as well as desired places of purchasing were both the supermarket (33.6% and 27.3%, respectively). The most preferred promotion method was free sample events (38.5%). From analyzing means-end chains of convenience meat products, the most dominant value chain was 'taste (A)'-'good taste (C)'-'feel good (V)'. These results show that consumption of convenience meat products will increase when consumer expectations of taste and satisfaction are met. Further, results of the value measurement provide information on consumer satisfaction and needs and can be applied to set marketing strategies for Korean style convenience meat products.

  • This thesis to be studied conversation by writing between the medical staff of Chosun(朝鮮) and Japan in 1763. Both countries the medical staff and intellectuals meet that communication, confrontation and conflict, exchanges and cooperation in 18C. They met greeting and sing in chorus. Chosun keep checking in western medicine of Japan. They are compared to customs of two countries. Also Japanese increase interest in the Hangeul(한글). Confrontation and conflict resulted from history recognition and difference of viewpoint of two countries. Especially Kokugaku(古學) have many influence on this situation. So battle come and go to study of Ogyu Sorai(荻生?徠) and Dajai Jun(太宰純). But this situation includes Mutual misunderstanding. Because of limitation on conversation by writing. Exchanges and cooperation take shape on the medical staff that a process of ginseng(人蔘), medical treatment. And two countries promote goodwill that method of buying books in Japan and medical treatment. In conclusion, intellectuals of Chosun and Japan have some misunderstanding and distrust. but they are communication with Chinese writing that east asian's common language. Also exchange its views and information.
