  • The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of an internal family systems therapy program aimed at increasing ego-identity of middle-aged women. The objectives of this program were for middle-aged women to differentiate the self of internal systems, to identify constraints impinging on an individual part, to release constraints impinging on an individual part, to harmonize the internal family, and to enhance ego-identity. 31 middle-aged women ranged in age from 40 to 60. Two groups were identified as equivalents for the study in the pre-test. The program of this experimental group was implemented twice a week for 120 minutes per each session over a 6-week period. The pre-test(Aug. 29. 2006), the post-test(Oct. 20. 2006) and the follow-up test(Nov. 20. 2006) were implemented in order to verify the effectiveness of the programs. The participants who were absent more than three times in the program were excluded from the post-test and follow-up test. Eventually, the data in 31 persons(15 for the internal family systems therapy, 16 for the control group) were analyze to verify the effectiveness of the program. The instruments used in the study were the ego-identity scale. The data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA, simple main effect, post-hoc t-test, means and standard deviations. And the program was from Sep. 5. to Oct. 20. 2006. The findings of the study were as follows: The internal family systems therapy program had significant effects on enhancing the ego-identity. There was a large increase of the ego-identity in the intervention group, compared with control group at post treatment and follow-up after 1 month which indicated the continuity of intervention effect. However, in the control group, there were no changes according to the time.

  • The cooling of hot exhaust gas is an important issue for the construction of combustor test facility. Water spray is an effective method for exhaust gas cooling due to its large latent heat in process of evaporation. In this study, 1-D analysis has been performed based on continuity, energy conservation, and saturated vapor property to understand water spray cooling of combustion gas. In the exhaust duct of combustor test facility, the injected water decreases combustion gas temperature, and evaporates in the combustion gas. However, some of the injected water is collected in the sump due to condensation. The evaporation of water helps combustion gas cooling, but causes pressure increase inside the exhaust duct due to increase of vapor pressure. These phenomena has been analyzed by 1-D modeling in this study. From 1-D analysis, the adequate mass flow rate of water spray to cool combustion gas and to avoid excessive pressure rise inside the exhaust duct has been decided.

  • Objectives: Smoking, especially among youth, has been increasing in Korea. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of a newly developing well-designed packaged smoking prevention program (PSPP) for middle school students and to propose further ideas about the program. Methods: The subjects were middle school students enrolled in one Busan city middle school. The effects of the PSPP were evaluated through intervention and follow-up. The PSPP was executed for 10 hours during the semester of middle school freshmen by the author as a position of health teacher, from 1999. After PSPP, cognitions and experiences about smoking were assessed annually from February, 2000 to 2002 by questionnaire. The responses of the educated group and the non-educated group (enrolled in the school at 1998) were compared through chi-square test and odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using SPSS program (ver 10.0). Results: In the three years' follow-up study on the students enrolled in 1999, the proportion of habitual smoking increased significantly (p<0.001); freshmen 0.2%, sophmore 1.7%, junior 5.0%. However, these level were lower than the results of national study; freshmen 1.1 %, sophmorer 6.3%, junior 8.5%. Also, the risk of smoking based on the response of 'smoking is hazardous to my health' increased by higher grading. In the comparison of educated and non-educated group, the proportion of the habitual smoking was significantly lower in the educated group(5.0%) than in the non-educated group(13.5%) (OR [95%CI]=0.33 [0.20∼0.57]). The response rate of 'smoking is hazardous to my health' was higher (OR [95%CI]=4.42 [2.52∼7.77]), and that of 'maybe smoking in the future' was lower (OR [95%CI]=0.43 [0.31∼0.59]) in the educated group than in the non-educated group. Conclusions: Though there is not enough information and it was a relatively short evaluation period, this PSPP is considered to be effective in smoking prevention in middle school students. Interests and continuity would be emphasized for the success of smoking prevention programs for younger subjects.

  • In land reclamation construction using marine clay, a measure of material function, that is, the relation between void ratio-effective stress and permeability, is very important aspect for the prediction of self-weight consolidation behavior. But reclaimed ground has very high water content, so there are many difficulties in the laboratory test for measuring material function. For this reason, some researches are carried out using slurry cconsolidometr to measure material function. In this study, material function was measured using slurry consolidometer, and to overcome the shortcoming of researches using slurry cosolidometer, an equation for the prediction of material function was proposed on the basis of column test's parameter. Material function was determined through low stress consolidation test and permeability test, and it also was calculated with the equation using column test parameter. The continuity of material function could be confirmed through these tests. Material function is easily determined with the equation proposed in this study, and can be used for the prediction of self-weight consolidation behavior.

  • The main objective of this research was to understand the characteristics of pleats design through the analysis of modern female fashion as they appear in the 'Collections' from '09 A/W to '12 S/S. Data collection of 1027 was done through the review of 'pr$\hat{e}$t-$\grave{a}$-porter Collections' of three cities; Milan, New York, Paris. Along with the qualitative interpretation of pleats design, statistical analysis of frequency and ${\chi}^2$-test were completed for data analysis. The main findings were as follows; 1. The five types of pleats design were founded in the order of accordion, knife, box, inverted, and sunburst pleats. The frequency and ratio of pleats design occurency showed significant difference between collections. 2. There were significant difference between the types of pleats and their line characteristics of thickness, continuity, length, direction. = Thin fabrics with delicate fine folds were mainly appeared in accordion and sunburst pleats. On the other hand, midium thickness fabrics were used for knife, box & inverted pleats, however, the different images were projected according to the width and the number of folds, characteristics of fabrics and textures. = In all the type of pleats but sunburst, continuity line was appeared the most. The discontinuous lines were appeared the most in the layered types and, sometimes, at some construction lines to add some decorative details or design variations. = The long line were the most frequently appeared in long one-pieces or long skirts of knife, accordion, sunburst pleats. While, the shorter lines showed the most frequently in box and inverted pleats, which mainly used for skirts or the lower part of one-piece. = For the line directions, the vertical lines were the most frequently appeared, and followed by mixed and diagonal line. In mixed or diagonal lines, same type of pleat was repeated in one design. For diagonal lines, one direction was mainly used, however, the symmetrical arrangements or repeated diagonal pleats in various directions also used. In mixed lines, the type of one or two diagonal and one vertical line was the most frequently appeared.

  • The SMAC (Simplified Marker And Cell) algorithm is extended for an application to thermal non-equilibrium two-phase flows in light water nuclear reactors (LWRs). A two-fluid three-field model is adopted and a multi-dimensional unstructured grid is used for complicated geometries. The phase change and the time derivative terms appearing in the continuity equations are implemented implicitly in a pressure correction equation. The energy equations are decoupled from the momentum equations for faster convergence. The verification of the present numerical method was carried out against a set of test problems which includes the single and the two-phase flows. The results are also compared to those of the semi-implicit ICE method, where the energy equations are coupled with the momentum equation for pressure correction.

  • An approximation technique was developed for the simulation of free surface flows in non-orthogonal coordinates. The main idea of this approach is to approximate VOF by the second order linear equation in the transformed domain on the assumption that the continuity of free surface would be maintained. The method was justified through a set of numerical test to examine if its original shape could be maintained when the circles are convected in uniform velocity in horizontal direction in curvilinear coordinates. Finally a simple problem was solved by applying the method to CFX4.1 general purpose CFDS code.

  • A virtual reality technology for multipurpose numerical simulation is developed to reproduce and investigate a variety of ocean environmental problems in a 3D Numerical Wave Tank(NWT). The governing equations for solving incompressible fluid motion are Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation. The Marker-Density function technique is adopted to implement the fully nonlinear freesurface kinematic condition. The marine environmental situations, i.e., waves, currents, etc., are reproduced by use of multi-segmented wavemakers on the basis of the so-called ″snake-principle″. In this paper, some numerical reproduction techniques for regular, and irregular waves, multi-directional waves, Bull's-eye wave. wave-current, and solitary wave are presented, and a model test in motion with large amplitude of roll angle is conducted in the developed 3D-NWT, using a overlaid grid system.
