We have experinced 20 cases of esophageal perforation from April, 1987 to August, 1993 at ourdivision of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Korea University, Gu Ro Hospital. Here we investgates the causes of disease, symptoms and sign, locations, time lag from onset, treatment of perforation and the results.The ratio between male and female patients was 12: 8, and age ranged from 4 years to 70 years old.The cause of esophageal perforation were instrumental trauma 7 cases, stab wound 4 cases, foreign body 4 cases, spontaneous perforations 3 cases, and others 1 cases. The middle and lower portions of esophagus was frequently involved portion in our cases [11 cases of 20].The common complications after perforation were mediastinitis [6 cases] and empyema [2 cases].The method of treatment were as follows, primary repair of perforation, simple drainge techniques including simple cervical drainage and closed thoracostomy, diversion and two-staged operations during several months. There was no mortality in our cases.

The hole flanging experiments are performed on a flat circular plates with a hole in the center and the flangeability and fracture behavior of TRIP steel and ferrite-bainite duplex steel were examined. Over the ranges of conditions investigated, the flangeability of ferrite-bainite duplex steel is better than TRIP steel and the term 'hole flanging capacity' introduced in this study. Fracture behavior of TRIP steel and ferrite-bainite duplex steel was characterized by petal formation at the edge of flange. In case of crack propagation, crack tip diversion that is supposed to be responsible for flangeability occurs more severely on HSLA Steel.

This paper describes the importance of incorporating the titre-dependent deformation behaviour in the design and construction of tunnels in swelling rocks. Two tunnel projects, in which authors got involved in Canada, are chosen to demonstrate the importance. In diversion tunnels for Oldman River Dan Projects time-dependent deformation characteristics of the mudrocks obtained from teat tunnel program were neglected in the design and construction of the tunnels and several sectional of concrete lining in tunnels were cracked extensively. In SABNGS No.3 Projects an extensive experimental program was carried out to study time-dependent deformation behaviour of highly swelling Queenston shale, with the air of establishing the constitutional relationship for the rock-structure time interaction analysis.

This paper proposes an adaptive routing protocol called ARCA for converged ad-hoc and cellular network (CACN). Due to the limitation of both bandwidth and transmission range in a cell, a mobile host (MH) may not be able to make a call during busy time. CACN offers a flexible traffic diversion mechanism that allows a MH to use the bandwidth in another cell to ease the congestion problem and increase the throughput in a cellular network. Based on the presentation of CACN's physical characteristics, the paper details the design issues and operation of the adaptive routing protocol for CACN (ARCA). Detailed numerical analysis is presented in terms of both route request rejection rate and routing overhead, which, along with the simulation results, have indicated the effectiveness and efficiency of the ARCA protocol.

The effects of design parameters for small scale hydro power(SSHP) plants due to climate change have been studied. The model to predict hydrologic performance for SSHP plants is used in this study. The results from analysis far rainfall conditions based on KIER model show that the capacity and load factor of SSHP site had large difference between the period. Especially, the hydrologic performance of SSHP site due to rainfall condition of recent period varied in design flowrate sensitively. However climate change gave small effect in load factor of existing SSHP plant. And also, the methodology represented in this study can be used to decide the primary design specifications of SSHP sites.

Cystitis and proctitis are defined as inflammation of bladder and rectum respectively. Haemorrhagic cystitis is the most severe clinical manifestation of radiation and chemical cystitis. Radiation proctitis and cystitis are major complications following radiotherapy. Prevention of radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis has been investigated using various oral agents with minimal benefit. Bladder irrigation remains the most frequently adopted modality followed by intra-vesical instillation of alum or formalin. In intractable cases, surgical intervention is required in the form of diversion ureterostomy or cystectomy. Proctitis is more common in even low dose ranges but is self-limiting and improves on treatment interruption. However, treatment of radiation proctitis is broadly non-invasive or invasive. Non-invasive treatment consists of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anti-oxidants, sucralfate, short chain fatty acids and hyperbaric oxygen. Invasive treatment consists of ablative procedures like formalin application, endoscopic YAG laser coagulation or argon plasma coagulation and surgery as a last resort.

Perianal Crohn's disease is a major problem that impair quality of life. This article reviews the current surgical treatment of Crohn's perianal fistula. Fistulotomy and loose seton are commonly used surgical methods for treatment of perianal Crohn's disease. Mucosal advancement flap and fibrin glue are used in this treatment, despite a lake of controlled trials. Fecal diversion is disturbingly high in complicated complex perianal fistula in Crohn's disease. Ligation of intersphincteric fistula and autologous or allogenic stem cells are new surgical procedures for treatment of Crohn's disease that need further studies. Treatment success might be improved by multimodal treatment and new surgical and medical treatment options.

The purpose of this study was to identify and profile store browsers in terms of their browsing motives, fashion behavioral characteristics, buying behavior and preferred store attributes. The data were collected through questionnaire from 302 female college students by convenient sampling method. Statistical analysis of factor analysis, x²-test, and t-test were performed in analyzing the data. The browsing motives of browsers were to obtains fashion information, sensory stimulation and diversion from routine life. They showed the high level of fashion involvement, shopping confidence, shopping innovativeness, shopping opinion leadership as well s fashion opinion leadership. Browsers tended to be impulse buyers and spent more money on clothing than non-browsers. The attributes that influence their store choice were the variety of products and brands, information availability ,and pleasant store atmosphere.

최근 지방자치단체에서는 농업용 취수보를 이용한 소수력발전에 관심을 가지고 지자체내의 유휴자원인 하천유수를 이용하여 소수력발전을 함으로써 환경친화적인 에너지를 생산하여 석유 등 에너지 수입대체 효과와 전력수요 급증시의 부하평준화에 기여하고자 하고 있다. 이는 정부의 "저탄소 녹색성장의 에너지정책"에 부응하는 것이며, 또한 하천에 소규모 인공호수를 조성함으로써 소수력발전소 인근지역의 경관개선과 관광자원화에 기여함은 물론 농업용수 공급과 하천유지수를 조정하여 안전한 하천으로서 그 기능을 하도록 계획한 것이다. 이와 병행하여 소수력발전소에서 발생한 무공해 청정에너지를 생산함으로써 전 세계적으로 관심이 높아지고 있는 '온실가스 배출 감축' 노력에 동참함으로써 선진형 기후변화 대응체계에 적응할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 취수보를 대상으로 소수력 발전시설의 성능분석 기법을 이용하여 소수력발전시설적용 타당성을 조사 분석하였다. 그림 1은 농업용 취수보인 북평보의 유역면적도를 나타내고, 그림 2는 북평보에 소수력발전시설을 적용할 경우의 부하특성을 나타낸다.

A model, which can analyze the hydrological performance for small hydropower(SHP) plants having no flow duration characteristics has been studied and developed. System performance of existing SHP plant under operating was analyzed by using the developed model. The annual operational rate of SHP plant showed that the data were in good agreement with predicted results from the model. Based on these results, several SHP sites to be exploited were selected and the performance characteristics were analyzed by using the developed model. Also, primary design values such as design flow rate, plant capacity, and operational rate were suggested. As a result, it was found that the methodology used in this study is useful tool to predict the hydrological system performances of SHP sites.
