In this paper, an inverse problem of glass forming process is studied to determine a number of unknown heat transfer coefficients which are imposed as boundary conditions. An analysis program for transient heat conduction of axi-symmetric dimension is developed to simulate the forming and cooling process. The analysis is repeated until it attains periodic state, which requires at least 30 cycles of iteration. Measurements are made for the temperatures at several available time and positions of glass and moulds in operation. Heat removal by the cooling water from the plunger is also recorded. An optimization problem is formulated to determine heat transfer coefficients which minimize the difference between the measured data and analysis results. Significant time savings are achieved in finite difference based sensitivity computation during the optimization by employing distributed computing technique. The analysis results by the optimum heat transfer coefficients are found to agree well with the measured data.

PURPOSE. Vinyl polyether silicone (VPES) has a different composition from other elastomeric impression materials as it combines vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) and polyether (PE). Therefore, it is important to study its properties and behavior under different test conditions. This study investigated the dimensional stability of 5 VPES consistencies when stored for up to 2 weeks, with and without using a standard disinfection procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 40 discs of each VPES consistency (total 200) were made using a stainless steel die and ring as described by ANSI /ADA specification No. 19. 20 discs of each material were immersed in a 2.5% buffered glutaraldehyde solution for 30 minutes. Dimensional stability measurements were calculated immediately after fabrication and repeated on the same discs after 7 and 14 days of storage. The data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA with a significance level set at ${\alpha}=0.05$. RESULTS. The discs mean contraction was below 0.5% at all test times ranging from $0.200{\pm}0.014$ to $0.325{\pm}0.007$. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a statistically significant difference after 2-week storage between the disinfected and non-disinfected groups (P < .001). Although there was no statistically significant difference between the materials at the time of fabrication, the contraction of the materials increased with storage for 1 and 2 weeks. CONCLUSION. The dimensional changes of VPES impression discs after disinfection and prolonged storage complied with ANSI/ADA standard. The tested VPES impression materials were dimensionally stable for clinical use after disinfection for 30 minutes in glutaraldehyde and storage for up to 2 weeks.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to determine whether there is a significant correlation between the angle of the hallux valgus and dorsi-flexion of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MPJ) as a physical factor that has a significant influence on healthy human walking. Methods: The subjects of this research were 65 female adults (130 feet) and the methods used included recording of real measurements and conducting a questionnaire. The acquired data is analyzed by the 'Simple Pearson Correlation Analysis' and 'Repeated Measures Analysis' methods. Results: The research result shows that the left area of -0.74706 and the right area of -0.76 have a relatively high negative correlation (p<0.00). Also, after conducting the 'Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance' of the angles of the hallux valgus and dorsi-flexion of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MPJ), the result also shows that the left and right areas of -0.75 have a relatively high negative correlation. Conclusion: The present study was performed for the identification of a significant correlation between the angle of the hallux valgus and dorsi-flexion of the 1st MPJ. From the results of this study, we confirmed that there is a clear tendency for the average distribution rates of Hallux Valgus and Hallux Rigidus (Hallux Limitus) of women to show a higher increase in proportion to age.

There is a great deal evidence concerning crustal uplift, after deglaciation, in the vicinity of Syowa Station $(69^{\circ}S,\;39^{\circ}E)$ from tide gauge data, seismic evidence, raised beaches, marine terraces, etc. The geomorphological and tide gauge data show that the crustal uplift is going on around Syowa Station. Seismic observations at Syowa Station started in 1959. Phase readings of the earthquakes have been published by National Institute of Polar Research once a year since 1968, as one of the Data Report Series. Eighteen local earthquakes were detected on short period seismograms at Syowa Station in 1990-2000. The seismicity during the period from 1990 to 2000 was lower than that from 1987 to 1989 when epicenters of local earthquakes were determined by tripartite seismic array. Local earthquake activity corroborates the crustal uplif4 which is an intermittent phenomenon. Sea level falling of 4.5 mm/y was found using data in 1975-1992. This felling rate is consistent with the geomorphological data. A route for repeat leveling survey was established in East Ongul Island. No appreciable change of sea level was observed for the last 14 years. A dynamics of the crustal uplift around Syowa Station has been discussed using geomorphological data, ocean tide, and seismic and leveling data, which is estimated to be an intermittent phenomenon. When local seismic activity is high, the crustal uplift is estimated to be going on. On the contrary, the crustal uplift is in dormancy when the local seismicity is low. Repeated leveling measurements suggest no significant changes, which further supports the idea that the crustal uplift in offshore is not a tilt trend movement but a block movement.

국립수산과학원(NIFS)의 정선 관측은 높은 시공간 해상도를 가지며 장기간 동안 같은 정점에서 관측을 수행해오고 있어, 전 세계적으로 유례를 찾아볼 수 없을 만큼 귀중한 자료를 생산하고 있으나, 자료의 신뢰성 문제로 해양 기후 변화 연구에 실제적으로 활용되는 경우가 드물었다. 본 연구에서는 동해 심층 물성이 갖는 작은 자연적 변동성의 특성을 활용함으로써 반세기 이상 축적된 정선 관측 자료에서 나타나는 오차를 정량적으로 평가하여, 해양의 장기 변동성 연구에 기여하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 1℃ 등수온면에서 산출한 NIFS 염분 표준 오차는 평균적으로 1961~1980년 자료의 경우 약 0.160 g/kg, 1981년~1994년은 약 0.060 g/kg, 1995~2002년에는 약 0.020 g/kg, 2003년~2014년이 약 0.010 g/kg으로 시기에 따라 크게 달라져온 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 2011년~2014년 사이에 비정상적으로 오차가 증가된 해가 있었으며, 이것은 센서 관리의 미흡으로 염분 편향이 발생하였기 때문으로 파악되었다. 반면, 2012년도에는 안정적인 관측이 수행되어 거의 0.001 g/kg 의 오차를 갖는 매우 정확한 염분 자료가 얻어졌음이 확인되었다. 이 결과를 통해 품질 관리 과정의 체계화와 센서 관리 전문화 시스템을 확충한다면 국립수산과학원 정선 관측이 기후 변화로 인한 해양 변동성 연구에 크게 기여할 수 있을 만큼 충분히 고품질의 자료를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 마지막으로 현 정선 관측의 개선 방향에 대해 몇 가지 제언을 첨부하였다.

GPS 측량에서 방송궤도력 대신에 정밀궤도력을 적용할 경우, 기선결정 정밀도가 어느 정도 향상되는가를 기선의 길이에 따라 정량적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 기선의 길이가 15 km-201 km인 7개의 기선을 선택하여 GPS로 각각 6회 이상 반복하여 측정하였다. 같은 기선에 대해 방송궤도력과 정밀궤도력만을 바꿔 가며 같은 조건으로 각각 두번씩 처리하여 반복측정에 의한 표준편차를 구한 다음 서로 비교하였다. 그 결과, 모든 기선에 대하여 정밀궤도력에 의한 결과가 정밀도와 안정도 및 신뢰도면에서 방송궤도력의 결과에 비해 더 양호하게 나타났다. 특히 정밀궤도력을 적용한 경우 65 km 이상의 모든 기선에서 0.1 ppm 미만의 정밀도가 얻어졌고, 단기선 보다는 65 km 이상의 장기선에서 정밀궤도력의 적용에 의한 정밀도 향상율이 더 크게 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과가 GPS 측량시 요구되는 정밀도와 측정하고자 하는 기선의 길이에 따라 방송궤도력 혹은 정밀궤도력 중에서 어느 것을 적용할 것인가에 대한 정량적 판단 기준이 되리라 본다.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on nausea, vomiting and anxiety experienced by children who were histologically diagnosed as malignancy and have received cancer chemotherapy. Twenty subjects with 10 in experimental group and 10 in control group, between the age of 7 to 12 years participated in this study. All subjects were admitted for inpatients chemotherapy at the S hospital between April to August 1998. The methods used for interventional muscle relaxation were both the 16 items of the progressive muscle relaxation therapy developed by Jacobson and the 4 items of the muscle relaxation therapy by Wolpe. The method for assessing nausea, vomiting was the Index of Nausea and Vomiting by Rhodes et al and that for anxiety was State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children by Spielberger. The data was analysed by repeated measures ANOVA and Scheffe test using SAS program. The results were as follows : 1. On measurement of nausea, vomiting, in the experimental group, the mean values of the second and the third measurements showed tendency to slightly decrease compared with the first measurement, but there was no statistically significance. And in the control group, there were no significant differences among first measurement, second measurement and third measurement. Also there was no significant difference in the mean values assessing nausea, vomiting between experimental and control group (F=1.33, p=0.2645). 2. The results assessing state anxiety showed, in the experimental group, progressive decrease in mean values at each measurement, while the control group showed no significant differences between the mean values of each measurement. Also there was statistically significant difference in state anxiety measurements between experimental and control group(F=4.36, p=0.05). In conclusion, muscle relaxation therapy for school-aged children with chemotherapy could not be effective to decrease nausea, vomiting, but it could be effective to decrease anxiety.

Objectives: Physical inactivity is the fourth leading global risk factor for mortality, followed by obesity. The combination of these risk factors is associated with non-communicable diseases, impaired physical function, and declining mental function. The World Health Organization recommends physical activity to reduce the mortality rate. Thus, this study examined the effects on anthropometric measurements of a 12-week walking program for elderly people in Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia with a 7000-step goal and weekly group walking activities. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted involving 109 elderly people with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25.0 kg/m². BMI, body composition, and average daily steps were measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0, and repeated-measures analysis of variance with the paired t-test for post-hoc analysis was conducted. Results: In total, 48 participants in the intervention group and 61 participants in the control group completed the study. A significant interaction was found between time and group. The post-hoc analysis showed a significant difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention (within the intervention group). The post-intervention analysis revealed an increase in the mean number of daily steps by 3571.59, with decreases in body weight (-2.20 kg), BMI (-0.94 kg/m²), body fat percentage (-3.52%), visceral fat percentage (-1.29%) and waist circumference (-2.91 cm). Skeletal muscle percentage also showed a significant increase (1.67%). Conclusions: A 12-week walking program combining a 7000-step goals with weekly group walking activities had a significant effect on the anthropometric measurements of previously inactive and overweight/obese elderly people.
