Norman Foster has done about 300 projects over the world and has been understood as a global architect for sustainable design on various areas including urban design, architecture, interior, transport and furniture. The trend of Forster's work which had been changed positively as experimental trials from 1960 has established his design trend for sustainable design. The characteristics of Norman Foster's sustainable design leading the trend of contemporary architecture over the limit of the high-tech architecture is researched through the project report, literature, field study and interview based on sustainability aspects which are social, environment and economy especially. For systematic classification and modern analysis of Norman Foster's architecture, the research is analyzed architectural characteristics on case works focused on architecture and urban design after the middle of 1980 when Norman Foster's sustainable design was emerged clearly. Consequently, the research could be a substantial process for understanding sustainable design as current outstanding ideas which makes Norman Foster overcome his limit of Post-high tech architecture through looking at his spatial identity.

Objectives: This study is the human factors and disease factors of the copayment system for the elderly (>65 years old) and to identify does the current status and characteristics of the applied elderly and conducted to provide basic data. Methods: Sample cohort data from the National Health Insurance Corporation database, from the years 2012-2015, were analyzed of 21,772 elderly people over the copayment ceiling. Results: The ratio of those who exceeded the copayment ceiling system rose sharply from progressive rates of 3.39% in 2012, 3.69% in 2013 and 5.03% in 2014, to rates of 37.13% from 2013. Factors identified that affect the instances of being over the copayment ceiling were: age, income group, region, severity, disability, sickness distribution, inpatient days, and outpatient days. Conclusions: The reorganization of the copayment ceiling system in 2014 favored low-income families of the elderly, but in 2015, the proportion of elderly was low (only 5.78%). The government's policies needs to change to allow for the amount of the deductible upper limit for low- and middle- income groups to be further subdivided in order for the elderly to receive more deductibles.

Recently, the occurrences of electrical fire have been suppressed by a residual current protective devices(RCD), a molded case circuit breaker(MCCB) and a fuse in case of an earth leakage, a short circuit and an over current. But it is impossible for the RCD to break the circuit in the case of the conductor fractures, the failure of pressure contacts on connecting points and the momentary short circuit of low voltage wiring. Therefore, it is require to study the constructive problem of the RCD. In this paper, we have tested the operation characteristics of the RCD according to the R load and R-L load in the conductor fractures, the failure of pressure contacts on connecting points and the momentary short circuit of low voltage wiring.

In this paper, we propose a boost DC-DC converter using a modification of the passive auxiliary resonant snubber circuit with a DC-DC converter in a typical active auxiliary resonant snubber-bridge inverter. The proposed boost DC-DC converter is small compared to the DC-DC converter according to the soft-switching scheme that requires a general auxiliary switch by realizing the soft switching operation as a DC-DC converter which does not require an auxiliary switch. It is light-weight, switch the turn-on and turn-off switching loss at the time of the superposition of the voltage and current is extremely small, so small. And the reduction of the surge voltage and current of the switch. In addition, the proposed boost DC-DC converter has a high efficiency over a wide load characteristics change area than conventional hard switching PWM boost converter using an RC snubber loss.

There are many articles about the HID lamps about it's characteristics and simulation methods for lamps design or ballast design. For the eletronic ballasts of HID lamps, There are some problems caused by acoustic resonance which destabilizes the arc of HID lamps. So, some studies suggest the methods to avoid it. For example, the methods to avoid it. For example, the methods suggested are high frequency driving over 100kHz, and mixed frequency driving which alternates high frequency and low frequency, and square wave driving etc. This study suggests the electronic ballast of HID lamps which solves the problems of acoustic resonance, and which can control the luminance by constant current boosted chopper of which frequency is 30kHz and by the sqarewave driving of which frequency is 55.5Hz. As follows, we have the good eletronic ballast for HID lamps which has the characteristics of a light weight, and a function of luminance control and a high quality luminosity and which saves electrical energy.

We have synthesized thin multi-walled carbon nanotubes (t-MWCNTs) using a catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method with FeMoMgO catalyst. The number of tube walls were 2 ${\sim}$ 6 with the corresponding diameters of 3 ${\sim}$ 6 nm. We obtained high production yield of over 3000 wt% compared to the weight of the supplied catalyst. These t-MWCNTs revealed the intermediate structural characteristics between single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs). We have also characterized the field emission properties such as turn-on field and emission current, and current degradation from these t-MWCNTs together with SWCNTs and MWCNTs.

In this study, the electrical characteristics of Symmetric and Asymmetric High Voltage MOSFET(HV-MOSFET) under high temperature were investigated. And, the specific on-resistance, threshold voltage, transconductance, drain current of the HV-MOSFETs were measured over a temperatures range of 300K ${\leq}$ T ${\leq}$400K. From the result of measured data, specific on-resistance increases slightly with increasing temperature. Especially, at high temperature(at 400K) specific on-resistance was increased about 30% than that in room temperature. And, in high temperature condition (at 400K), drain current was decreased about 30%, Also, transconductance(gm) was decreases with increasing temperature.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of fibrinogen genotype and other characteristics on the plasma fibrinogen levels. Many studies have conformed that high plasma fibrinogen levels are associated with the increased risk of ischaemic heart disease, stroke and arterial disease. And fibrinogen levels are related with age, obesity, cholesterol and alcohol consumption, genotypes. For this study the blood samples were collected from 93 healthy Koreans (66 males and 27 females). The blood samples were individually analyzed by smoking status, cholesterol levels, genotype, age, and gender. The plasma fibrinogen was assayed by clotting method (modified Clauss assay) and cholesterol was assayed by cholesterol oxidase method. Subjects were classified by current smokers, ex-smokers (<6 month), or nonsmokers. The $\beta$-fibrinogen genotype was detected by PCR of relevant region and digestion with HaeIII, with the H$_1$H$_1$ allele allowing cleavage by this restriction enzyme and H$_2$H$_2$ allele being refractory. In conclusion, the study shows that the factor of the increasement in the fibrinogen level was closely related with the cholesterol level, smoking status and genotype (H$_1$H$_2$); but there was no significant difference by gender, Especially, among the people over 50 years of age, fibrinogen level was higher with the increasement of cholesterol level (<200 mg/dl), current smoker, and genotype H$_1$H$_2$.

The (Sr$_1$-\ulcorner.Ca\ulcorner)TiO$_3$(0.05 x 0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[$^{\circ}C$] in a reducing atmosphere($N_2$gas). After being fired in a reducing atmosphere, metal oxides(CuO) was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. The capacitance changes slowly and almost linearly in the temperature region of -40~+85[$^{\circ}C$]. The capacitance characteristics appears a stable value within $\pm$10[%]. According to increase of the frequency as a functional of temperature, all specimens used in this study showed the dielectric relaxation, and the relaxation frequency was above 10\ulcorner[Hz]. The capacitance is almost unchanged below about 20[V] but it decrease slowly over 20[V]. The voltage-current characteristics of specimens observed in the temperature range of 25~125[$^{\circ}C$] as the current increased appears that it is due to space charge condensed to interface between grain and grain boundary.
