After brain injury, patients show a wide range in the degree of recovery. By a variety of mechanisms, the human brain is constantly undergoing plastic changes. Spontaneous recovery from brain injury in the chronic stage omes about because of plasticity. The brain regions are altered. resulting in functionally modified cortical network. This review cnsidered the neural plasticity from cellular and molecular mechanisms of synapse formation to behavioural recovery from brain injury in elderly humans. The stimuli required to elicit plasticity are thought to be activity-dependent elements. especially exercise and learning. Knowledge about the physiology of brain plasticity has led to the development of methods for rehabilitation.

The results of the studies were summarized as follows; 1. In the acetic acid method experiment and the pressing hind paw method experiment, analgesic effects were noted. 2. The prolongation of the duration of hypnosis induced by Pen to barbital-sodium was noted. 3. Spontaneous movement of the isolated mice ileum was markedly suppressed. and Contraction to induced by acetylcholine, Barium chloride was Inhibited. 4.

In order to investigate experimentally the clinical effects of Taeuminkalkunhaeki-tang (太陰人葛根解肌湯) that was prescribed to cure the Kansuyolriyolbyong (肝受熱裏熱病) of Taeumin, the author experimented various activities of mixed extract from Taeuminkalkunhaeki-tang by the methods prescribed in the experimental part. The results of the studies were summarized as follows: 1. Sedative effects such as malfunction of the spontaneous motor activity in the wheel cage method experiment and muscle relaxation in the rotor rod method experiment were noted. 2. In mice, the prolongation of the duration of hypnosis Induced by thiopental-Na was noted. 3. In the acetic acid method experiment and the pressing hind paw method experiment, analgesic effects were noted. 4. Inhibitory effects were noted on the convulsions incuced by strychine and picrotoxin. 5. The expansion of blood vessels by relaxation of smooth muscle was noted. According to the above results, effects based on oriental medical references approximate to the actual experimental results.

We propose a new concept: that of photonic crystal phosphors (PCPs) for display and phosphor related applications. It is well known that microcavities with dimensions comparable to the emitting wavelength strongly enhance light-matter interactions, resulting in a significant increase in spontaneous emission rate, which can be directly translated into enhancement in phosphor efficiency. In recent simulations we have demonstrated that when a microcavity is formed in a nano-phosphor structure, the luminescence band is modified, and can be made spectrally sharp and tunable by engineering the geometry/material properties of the cavity and the surrounding photonic crystal lattice. New phosphor material structures based on photonic crystals are proposed. Applications to thin film EL phosphors and particle phosphors are discussed. Additionally, economic methods of synthesizing and incorporating PCPs into current display applications are proposed.

Several mutation procedures have been compared to obtain an ethanol-tolerant Saccha- romyces diastaticus strain secreting glucoamylase. These procedures include spontaneous mutation, EMS treatment, UV irradiation, and combination of EMS treatment and UV irradiation. All these methods were followed by adaptation of the yeast cells to gradually higher ethanol concentration. Among these procedures, the combined method of EMS treatment and UV irradiation gave the promising result, i.e. the ethanol tolerance of the yeast increased from 11.5%(v/v) to 14.0%(v/v). Respiratory deficient petite mutants of industrial and ethanol-tolerant yeast strains have been isola- ted and hybridized with haploid S. diastaticus strains. The resulting hybrids showed increased ethanol tolerance and starch-fermentability.

Objectives : This study was done to investigate the effect of Gamigehyuldeung-tang on hypertension. Methods : After administering Gamigehyuldeung-tang extract to SHR(Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats) for 5 weeks, changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, aldosterone and catecholamine levels in plasma were examined, and immunohistochemical changes and scanning electron microscopic changes were observed. Results : The following results were obtained; blood presure decreased significantly as well as levels of aldosterone, dopamine and epinephrine in SHR. But levels of norepinephrine were unaffected. No capillary vessel dilation was observed. A decrease in cell damage was seen in microscope investigation. Conclusions : These results support a role for Gamigehyuldeung-tang might be usefully applied in treatment of hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vegetation on the cutting slope applied by vegetation system in the whole land. The engineering characteristics of slopes were investigated using the face mapping and physical tests. From the statistical methods, a relationship between a geologic stratum and degree of covering was independent. Therefore, the afforestation of slope was affected more by condition of vegetation as direction and opening of joints, and a topsoil state than by conventional classification of layer. It was concluded that the adjustable vegetation on the slope considering condition of geometric shape of slope, joint data and spontaneous type could make useful early afforestation.

This paper presents a study on application of expert system technique for the diagnosis of fire-causes in plants. A need is recognized for new methods to diagnose exactly the causes of fires without the help of the human experts. To cope with the difficulty, the expert system techiuque is applied to this area. The expert system suggested in this paper is developed to infer the causes of fires(or, ignition source ) by using the information drawn from the circumstances in fire. For the convenience of inference, ignition sources we classified into eight types ; elecoic spark, adiabatic compression, welding spark, material of high temperature, impact and friction, spontaneous ignition, naked fire, and static electricity. The knowledge base is composed of the rule base and dynamic database, which contain the rules and facts obtained by the expenence in this area, respectively. Both depth-first search and backward chaining schemes are used in reasoning process. This expert system is written in an artificial intelligence language "PROLOG", and its availability is demonstrated through the case study.

Ureteroscopic removal of the stone is now popular for the management of the lower ureteral stone. A clinical study was performed on our 75 patients with lower ureteral stone treated with ureteroscopy. Of the 75 stone manipulations 62(83%) were immediately successful and the final success rate including spontaneous delivery of stone or fragment after the procedure was 87 percents(65 cases). Of 57 smaller calculi than 1Cm(radiographic largest diameter) 50(88%) were removed successfully. Mean duration of postoperative hospitalization was 5.6 days. There were no interrelations between the success rate and anesthetic methods. Significant complications durinf or after procedure were not identified. We conclude that ureteroscopic removal of stones under direct vision can be done safely and be the first choice of procedure for the lower ureteral stones.

Two-dimensional laser visualization methods have been used in the study of breakup and atomization processes of non-evaporating diesel sprays. A single-hole spray injected into a quiescent atmospheric environment was visualized by the LIF(Laser Induced Fluorescence) and scattering technique. The LIF technique could be implemented to take the images which are magnified enough to show the shape of liquid ligaments and small droplets. The spontaneous scattering and fluorescent images of sprays were also taken to investigate the atomization of droplets. In the tip and periphery of a spray. the scattering light is bright and the ratio of fluorescent/scattering intensity is lower. This characteristics indicate the very high number density of small droplets which are well atomized.
