최근 25년간(1986-2010년)의 우리나라 기상청 및 일본 기상청 자료를 사용하여 엘니뇨 라니냐 현상과 태풍과의 관계를 분석하였다. 특히, 이번 연구에서는 태풍의 세기에 주목하여 분석하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 태풍의 세기를 나타내는 평균 중심최저기압과 평균 최대풍속은 엘니뇨 발생년에 959.3hPa과 35.8m/s, 라니냐 발생년에 965.5hPa과 33.7m/s 그리고 25년 전 기간에 대하여는 962.3hPa과 35.0m/s이었다. 즉, 엘니뇨 발생년의 태풍의 세기가 라니냐 발생년의 태풍의 세기보다 강함을 알 수 있다. 구체적으로 평균 중심최저기압은 약 6hPa 낮고, 평균 최대풍속은 2.1m/s 강하다. 이와 같은 결과는 태풍의 발생 해역과 밀접히 관련되어 있다. 즉, 엘니뇨 발생년에 태풍은 동경 150도 이동 해역과 북위 10도 이남 해역에서 상대적으로 더 많이 발생하고, 라니냐 발생년의 태풍은 동경 150도 이서 해역과 북위 20도 이북 해역에서 더 많이 발생한다. 동경 150도 이동 해역과 북위 10도 이남 해역에서 발생한 태풍은 북태평양의 광범위한 고수온역을 보다 장시간 이동하게 되므로 더 강하게 발달할 수 있다.

Administrative procedures are the heart of the activity in each Town Council. Citizens do transactions every day and, sometimes, they do not understand what they must do or the steps to follow. We are developing a Web-based system to help citizens with this task in an easy way. The application is integrated a four year project called Albacete[Digital] that began in 2002 with the purpose of building an e-government system in Albacete, a city with over 150.000 citizens. This Administrative Information Centre is the result of the Administration study in the first year of the project and it will continue with the on-line transaction in the following years.

Although improper integrals constitute a concept of great utility for Mathematics students, it appears that students are unable to assimilate this concept within the wider system of concepts they learn in their first year of Mathematics studies. In this paper we describe a competence model used in a study about the kind of understanding students possess about improper integral calculus when two registers of representation come into play. Competence will be considered as the coherent articulation of different semiotic registers. After analysing the results of a questionnaire, six students were selected to be interviewed on the basis of their overall results and the significance of their answers. For the interview, five original questions from the questionnaire were used together with a new question. In this article we will analyse, from our theoretical point of view, the work carried out by one student who was interviewed to show how our competence model works and we will discuss this formal competence model used.

The present study describes a hands-on experiment to help students understand the concept of phase change or phase transition and its application in a phase change material (PCM). PCMs are substances that have the capability of storing and releasing large amounts of thermal energy. They act as energy storage materials that provide an effective way to save energy by reducing the electricity required for heating and cooling. Lauric acid (LA) was selected as an example of the PCM. Students investigated the temperature change of LA and the temperature (of air) inside the test tube. The differences in the temperatures of the systems helped students understand how PCMs work. A one-group pretest and posttest design was implemented with 34 grade-11 students in science and mathematics. Students' understanding was assessed using a multiple-choice test and a questionnaire. The findings revealed that the designed activity helped students understand the concept of phase change and its application to materials for thermal energy storage.

To eliminate $NO_x$ in diesel emission. selective catalyst reduction (SCR) was used in real diesel engine. Among the SCR methods, metal oxide and perovskite catalysts were introduced in this paper. The removal efficiencies with various major, promoter catalysts on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at different reaction temperature were investigated, and $LaCuMnO_x$ catalyst which has high removal efficiency at the temperature of real diesel exhaust gas was selected. $NO_x$ reduction was carried out over these catalysts in the flow-through type reactor using by-pass ($SV=3,300h^{-1}$). Under the given condition to this study, perovskite catalysts showed considerably high removal efficiency and $LaCuMnO_x$ was the best one among these catalysts in the temperature range of $150{\sim}450^{\circ}C$.

Bounds for discrete Chebychev functionals that involve means of sequences of different lengths are investigated in the current article. Earlier bounds for the Chebychev functional involving sums of sequences of the same lengths are utilised in the current development. Weighted generalised Chebychev functionals are also examined.

In this paper, magnetic property and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in perovskite manganites of the type $La_{(0.75-X)}Ce_XCa_{0.25}MnO_3$ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5) synthesized by using the standard solid state reaction method have been reported. From the magnetic measurements as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field, we have observed that the Curie temperature ($T_C$) of the prepared samples strongly dependent on Ce content and was found to be 255, 213 and 150 K for x = 0.0, 0.2 and 0.3, respectively. A large magnetocaloric effect in vicinity of $T_C$ has been observed with a maximum magnetic entropy change (${\mid}{\Delta}S_M{\mid}_{max}$) of 3.31 and 6.40 J/kgK at 1.5 and 4 T, respectively, for $La_{0.55}Ce_{0.2}Ca_{0.25}MnO_3$. In addition, relative cooling power (RCP) of the sample under the magnetic field variation of 1.5 T reaches 59 J/kg. These results suggest that $La_{0.55}Ce_{0.2}Ca_{0.25}MnO_3$ compound could be a suitable candidate as working substance in magnetic refrigeration at 213 K.

Sub-micrometer $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$ powders for ceramic interconnects of solid oxide fuel cells were synthesized by the aqueous combustion process. The materials were prepared from the precursor solutions with different glycine (fuel)-to-nitrate (oxidant) ratios (${\phi}$). Single-phase $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$ powders with a perovskite structure were obtained after combustion when ${\phi}$ was equal to or larger than 0.480. Especially, the stoichiometric precursor with ${\phi}$ = 0.555 yielded the spherical $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$ particles with 150-250 nm diameters after calcination at $1000^{\circ}C$. When compared with the powders synthesized by the solid-state reaction, the combustion-derived, fine powders exhibited improved sinterability, leading to near-full densification at $1400^{\circ}C$ in oxidizing atmospheres. Moreover, a small quantity of glass additives was used to reduce the sintering temperature, and considerable densification was indeed achieved at temperatures as low as $1100^{\circ}C$.

The structural, magnetic and magnetotransport properties of $La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3$: $Ag_x$ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) composites were investigated systematically. X-ray and EDX analysis indicated that Ag is not substituted into the main $La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3$ phase and remains an additive to the second phase at the grain boundary. The Curie temperature first decreased from 269 K for x = 0 to 257 K for x = 0.1 and then remained nearly unchanged with increasing Ag content. For the x > 0.1 samples, a second transition temperature ($T_{MI2}$) was observed in the resistance curves. At temperatures below 150 K, a significant enhancement in MR was observed while high temperature MR decreased with increasing Ag content. The maximum MR was observed to be 55% in the x = 0.4 sample at 10 K and a 6T magnetic field, this value is larger than that of pure $La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3$ (53% at 265 K and 6 T). In addition, at low fields (H < 1T), a sharp increase in the MR was observed.

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the appropriateness of various follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) starting doses in expected normal responders based on the nomogram developed by La Marca et al. Methods: A total of 117 first in vitro fertilization cycles performed from 2011 to 2017 were selected. All women were expected normal responders and used a recombinant FSH and flexible gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol. The FSH starting dose was empirically determined (150, 225, or 300 IU). The FSH starting dose indicated by La Marca's nomogram was determined using female age and serum $anti-M{\ddot{u}}llerian$ hormone or basal FSH levels. If the administered dose was exactly the same as the proposed dose, the cycle was assigned to the concordant group (34 cycles). If not, it was assigned to the discordant group (83 cycles). Optimal ovarian response was defined as a total of 8-14 oocytes, hypo-response as < 8 oocytes, and hyper-response as > 14 oocytes. Results: Between the concordant and discordant group, ovarian response (optimal, 32.4% vs. 27.7%; hypo-response, 55.9% vs. 54.2%; and hyper-response, 11.8% vs. 18.1%) and the number of total or mature oocytes were similar. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was rare in both groups (0% vs. 1.2%). The implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, and live birth rate were all similar. Conclusion: The use of the proposed FSH starting dose determined using La Marca's nomogram did not enhance the optimal ovarian response rate or pregnancy rate in expected normal responders. Individualization of the FSH starting dose by La Marca's nomogram appears to have no distinct advantages over empiric choice of the dose in expected normal responders.
