The reduction of NO by hydrocarbons was investigated over Cu/Al$_2$O$_3$catalysts using a stainless steel flow reactor under highly oxidising diesel exhaust conditions(up to 15%). Three different Cu loadings(1,5 and 10wt.%) on an $Al_2$O$_3$support were prepared and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The catalytic activity tests show that different Cu loadings as well as temperature, oxygen, and hydrocarbon concentration levels significantly influence the NO reduction. Increasing Cu loadings up to 5 and 10wt.% decreases the catalytic activities for NO reduction due to the formation of a bulk crystalline CuO phase, as observed from XRD and SEM images. In particular, the visualization of the copper dispersion on the surface using the SEM-BEI technique provides information on the extent of copper saturation, particle size, and the effects on NO reduction. However, the lower Cu loading(1 wt.%) increases the catalytic activity with a temperature window of 720-810K, thereby favoring the formation of well dispersed isolated Cu species, e.g. Cu(sup)2+ ions, which is related to selective NO reduction. The effects of other reaction parameters, such as oxygen, the hydrocarbon level and type, and byproduct emissions are further discussed.

Sudden voltage drops and outages frequently disturb the operation of sensitive loads for domestic, commercial, and industrial use. In some cases, these events may even impair the functioning of relevant equipment. To maintain power under such conditions, a UPS system is usually installed. Once a disturbance happens at the grid side, the line-interactive UPS system takes over the load to prevent an interruption. But, due to magnetic saturation of the transformer, a significant inrush current may occur for the transformer-coupled loads during this transition. The generation of such transient currents may in turn decrease the line voltage and activates over-current protecting devices of the system. In this work, a cost-effective, line-interactive UPS system is proposed that eliminates the inrush current phenomenon associated with transformer-coupled loads. The strategy was implemented by connecting a standard current-regulated voltage source inverter (CRVSI) to the secondary winding of the load transformer. During any transient condition at the grid side, the load current is monitored and regulated to achieve either seamless compensation of the load current or complete transferal of load from grid to the inverter. Experimental results were obtained for a prototype under all possible operating conditions so as to validate the performance of the proposed topology.

하이테크 제품 중에서 이동통신 단말기는 빠른 속도로 혁신이 이루어지고 있으며 이에 따라 제품수명주기도 짧아지고 있다. 이렇게 짧아진 제품수명주기를 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 정확한 수요예측방법론의 선택이 중요하며 이는 전략적 경영계획 수립에 가장 기본적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이동통신 단말기의 전체 확산 수명에 적용될 수 있는 최적의 모형을 제시하는 것이다. 우리는 2013년 3월부터 2014년 8월까지 국내 특정 이동통신 서비스 사업자의 이동통신 단말기 판매 데이터를 활용하여 이동통신 단말기의 판매추이 및 수요예측을 위한 최적의 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 네 가지 모형의 성능을 비교분석하였는데 두 가지 S자형 확산모형인 Gompertz와 logistic 모형, 두 가지 비선형 회귀모형인 Michaelis-Menten과 logarithmic 모형을 비교한다. 모형 적합도에 따르면 logistic 모형이 모형일치성에 있어서 다른 세 개의 모형보다 성능이 우수한 것으로 발견되었으며 수요예측모델로는 확산이 정체하기 전까지는 logistic 모형이 우수하며 포화단계에 근접할수록 Gompertz 모형이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과는 이동통신 단말기 시장 규모를 추정하거나 이동통신 단말기의 재고 및 주문관리를 하는데 있어서 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

대형 압축식 냉동기의 증발기 전열관으로는 그간 평활관이 주로 사용되어 왔으나 최근들어 비등 성능이 우수한 성형 가공관을 많이 사용하고 있다. 증발기는 관군으로 구성되고 따라서 증발기 내 위치에 따라 냉매 상태가 다르다. 특히 R-11, R-123과 같은 저압 냉매는 압력변화에 따른 포화온도 변화가 크므로 위치에 따라 포화온도가 다르게 된다. 따라서 증발기를 적절히 설계하려면 증발기 내 각 위치에서의 냉매의 상태를 적절히 예측하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 대형 냉동기의 만액식 증발기를 모사할 수 있는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 프로그램은 증발기를 미소 체적으로 구분하고 각 미소 체적에 적절한 관 내외측 열전달 및 압력손실 상관식을 적용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 본 프로그램을 R-123을 사용하는 T사의 만액식 증발기 해석에 적용한 결과 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 이 프로그램을 이용하여 신 냉매인 R-123, R-134a를 사용하는 만액식 증발기의 해석을 수행하였고 특히 관군 세장비의 영향을 검토하였다.

Yoga is an ancient Indian system of life, encompassing various practices including practices for self-discipline and also for regulating the health states of the individual, being practiced for thousands of years. The present study aims at understanding the effect of two high frequency breathing practices over autonomic nervous system. Forty healthy male volunteers of age $21{\pm}2$ years with $9{\pm}3$ months of Yoga practice experience were recruited. The two high frequency Yoga breathing practices, kapalabhati (KB) and bhastrika (BH) were given as interventions randomly on either of the two days to minimise laboratory bias. They were assessed before and immediately after the interventions for heart rate, respiratory rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation. There was a significant increase in heart rate (p<0.01; p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (p<0.01; p<0.001), NN50 (p<0.01; p<0.001) component of HRV for both KB and BH groups respectively. There was a significant reduction in respiratory rate in both the groups (p<0.001, and p<0.05, BH and KB respectively) immediately following intervention. A significant increase in LF component of HRV and reduction in Diastolic blood pressure and high frequency (HF)component following KB was also observed (p<0.05, for all comparisons). The Mean peripheral oxygen saturation remained unaltered in both the groups (p>0.05).The results suggest that high frequency yoga breathing practices induce physiological arousal immediately as evidenced by increased blood pressure and heart rate. The sympathetic arousal was more following KB session as evidenced by an increased diastolic blood pressure, LF power and a decrease in HF power of HRV as compared to the BH session.

In contemporary times, there is an increasing demand for a dedicated healthcare environment, all over the world. The main motivation for this demand is the level of awareness manifested by the users and reflected on their expectations. Therefore new research strategies and design actions are investigated in order to answer to the users' needs and to provide objective design tools for the specialist. This study continues a series of previous developments of the Healthcare Environment Color Index that should be used for public facilities in Korea and abroad. The cross-cultural approach is a new opportunity for exchanging know-how and for testing and calibrating the perception of the users on the color index. The gathering of results was made based on the online survey provided in this phase in English version for the Romanian users. The survey was intended as an objective mean of research and an efficient way of disseminating information on the subject thus contributing to increasing the level of awareness of the users. A total of 86 Romanian and 89 Koreans with valid answers took part in the survey. Comparative visualizations of the results showed significant similarities concerning the patterns of color preferences but also cultural and emotional differences. As a result both categories of users proved to be aware of the relation between healthcare environment color and its effects on health. They also showed a common understanding on the potential of the color index. As a result the most appealing colors to be applied to the healthcare environment were the series G and B, and the most effective ones were proved to be the ranges of high lightness and low saturation but also the medium high lightness and medium saturation. Both the similarities and the differences of choice between Romanians and Koreans show that cultural and emotional differences of color recognition are important and that should be taken into consideration in design, in order to generate an inclusive and efficient healthcare environment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the changes of a physiologic nature and the sedative parameters associated with dexmedetomidine and pethidine, in patients undergoing plate and screw removal surgery, after orthognathic surgery. Methods: Twenty-three patients were sedated with dexmedetomidine and pethidine during plate and screw removal, after orthognathic surgery. An initial loading dose of dexmedetomidine ($1.0{\mu}g/kg$ infused over 10 minutes) was followed by a maintenance dose ($1.0{\mu}g/kg/hr$). Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate were monitored. Perioperative amnesia and anxiety were recorded. Results: Significant changes were found in the blood pressure and heart rate (Freidman test, P<0.05), but not in oxygen saturation (Freidman test, P>0.05). Amnesia during local injection was observed in eight patients (34.8%). Compared with the preoperative anxiety score, the intraoperative anxiety score was decreased. Conclusion: In this study, we found cardiovascular and respiratory stability in intravenous sedation using dexmedetomidine with pethidine, in plate and screw removal, after orthognathic surgery. Furthemore, intravenous sedation using dexmedetomidine with pethidine shows adequate analgesic and sedative effects.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of kangaroo care on body weight, physiological responses and behavioral states in premature infants. The subjects were 32 premature infants, fifteen for the kangaroo care group and seventeen for the control group, who hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit at a university-affiliated hospital. The kangaroo care was applied 8 times during the twenty five days with 40 minutes for each session. The kangaroo care provides the skin-to-skin contact during which a premature infant wearing a diaper and a hat is placed on its mother's chest. As for the measures, body weight was measured everyday. The levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine and 17-OHCS were measured twice, before beginning the first intervention and after finishing the last intervention. While each session of the care is undergoing, such physiological responses were measured periodically as heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, core temperature and skin temperature. The results were as follows : 1. The weight gain was significantly greater in the kangaroo care group than that in the control group during the period of performing the kangaroo care. 2. No significant difference was revealed between the two groups in heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation and core temperature. The kangaroo care group also showed significant increases in the skin temperature. 3. The differences in the levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine and 17-OHCS were not significant between the kangaroo care and the control groups. The level of norepinephrine in the two groups was significantly increased over time. 4. Sleep pattern changed significantly in the kangaroo group from a very restless sleep to a very quiet sleep. These results suggest that kangaroo care is an effective nursing intervention for premature infants in gaining weight, achieving stable physiological responses and facilitating a quiet sleep.
