As societal development improves the quality of life and changes the structure of society, the needs of the residents have been varied. As a result, the spaces in Korean houses have also been varied. This phenomenon can be found in both external and internal spaces; a transitional space, which connects the outside space and the inside space, is formed as transition occurs at each phase of movement. As the importance of external and internal spaces is emphasized, and as internal spaces are extended to the exterior, various forms of transitional space are needed. In this study, the boundary types of internal/external spaces are analyzed through transitional spaces that are formed in relation with internal and external spaces. Based on the analysis, transitional spaces in modem Korean houses are classified into the addition type, the cutting type, and the connection type. The results of the study show that transitional spaces in detached houses tend to be placed closely to rooms and a public space, and in terms of material use, the externalization of internal spaces is occurring.

Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a relatively rare benign lesion. It develops most often in the mediastinum, but also it found in other area of the body, usually where lymph nodes are normally found. There are histologically divided hyaline vascular type, plasma cell type and transitional type. The lesions were discovered most often on routine roentgenograms, and complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recently, the authors experienced a case of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, transitional type, located in the right hilar area. The lesion was removed and the patient is in good condition postoperatively. Now we report this case with review of previously reported literatures.

Flow characteristics in transitional boundary layers on a flat plate were experimentally investigated under three different freestream conditions i. e. uniform flow with 0.1 % and 3.7% freestream turbulent intensity and cylinder-wake with 3.7% maximum turbulent intensity. Instantaneous streamwise velocities in laminar, transitional and turbulent boundary layers were measured by I-type hot-wire probe. For estimation of wall shear stresses on the flat plate, measured mean velocities near the wall were applied to the principle of Computational Preston Tube Method (CPM). Distributions of skin friction coefficients were reasonably predicted in all developed boundary layers. Intermittency profiles, which were estimated using Conditional Sampling Technique in transitional boundary layers, were also consistent with previously published data. It was predicted that the incoming turbulent intensity had more influence on transition onset point and transition process than freestream turbulent intensity existed just over the transition region. It was also confirmed that non-turbulent and turbulent profiles in transitional boundary layers could not be simply treated as Blasius and fully turbulent profiles.

We report a case of 53-year-old man with plasmacytold transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, which may be confused with plasmacytoma. The patient initially presented with gross hematuria and dysuria for two months. Cystoscopy and radiologic studios revealed multiple intraluminal protruding masses on the urinary bladder invading perivesical fat tissue. After urinary cytologic examination and cystoscopic biopsy, radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissections were done. Urine cytology showed single cells and poorly cohesive cells with round eccentric nuclei, bi-or multi-nucleation, indistinct nucleoli, coarse chromatin, and abundant basophilic cytoplasm within relatively clear background. The cytologic findings of tumor cells were similar to the plasma cells seen in plasmacytoma. The tumor of the bladder was composed on discohesive, individual cancer cells with diffuse pattern that simulated lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies clearly established the epithelial nature of the neoplasm. Recognition of this plasmacytoid type of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder can avoid the misdiagnosis.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the turbulence intermittency measuring methods across the boundary layer in the transition region. A single type hot-wire probe was used to measure instantaneous streamwise velocities in laminar, transitional and turbulent boundary layer To estimate wall shear stresses on the flat plate, near wall mean velocities are applied to the principle of CPM. Distribution of intermittency factor is obtained by dual-slope method and compared to the results of four methods,$\'{u},\;\{U}$, TERA and M-TERA method. In these methods, M-TERA shows a good agreement in the near wall region. However, the result of M-TERA method shows that intermittency factor is underestimated in the outer part and outside of the boundary layer and the dimensional constant of M-TERA method should be changed appropriately depending on measuring point.

Objectives: The high readmission rate of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has led to the worldwide establishment of proactive measures for identifying and mitigating readmissions. This study aimed to identify factors associated with readmission, as well as groups particularly vulnerable to readmission that require transitional care services. Methods: To apply transitional care services that are compatible with Korea's circumstances, targeted groups that are particularly vulnerable to readmission should be identified. Therefore, using the National Health Insurance Service's Senior Cohort database, we analyzed data from 4874 patients who were first hospitalized with COPD from 2009 to 2019 to define and analyze readmissions within 30 days after discharge. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors correlated with readmission within 30 days. Results: The likelihood of readmission was associated with older age (for individuals in their 80s vs. those in their 50s: odds ratio [OR], 1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19 to 2.12), medical insurance type (for workplace subscribers vs. local subscribers: OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72 to 0.99), type of hospital (those with 300 beds or more vs. fewer beds: OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.66 to 0.90), and healthcare organization location (provincial areas vs. the capital area: OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.14 to 2.41). Conclusions: Older patients, patients holding a local subscriber insurance qualification, individuals admitted to hospitals with fewer than 300 beds, and those admitted to provincial hospitals are suggested to be higher-priority for transitional care services.

This paper aims to clarify the change in industrial structure and industry itself, and makes suggestions for the industrial development direction at transitional periods in the Chungcheongbuk-do(province) region. Because profits of regional gross production in Chungcheongbuk-do region flow out of the region, basic industries must be brought up. For this phenomenon, main manufacturing must be developed for the industrial power of the next generation of high added values that combined with digital industry; the petrochemistry, semiconductor industry as major type of industry, and automobile industry as minor type of industry. Also for supporting industry, education service, health and welfare, research and development services that are knowledge-based service industries in Chungcheongbuk-do region, must be formated the network among corporations and constructed regional innovation system linked with educational institutions, precision chemistry industry and biology technology as major type of industry, and precision machinery and tools industry as minor type of industry.

A transitional trend of architectural elements which would happen naturally in a building may be a cue to the changes of the times. In this respect, this study is to investigate the transformation of types of windows and doors with the full-openable bay size in Korean Buddhist Temples and search for transitional process on types of windows and doors according to the flow of the times. As the results of this study, the following conclusion could be obtained. 1. The type of bunhap(connected door frame) Deul E-Yul-Gae doors + Deul E-Yul-Gas (life up) single windows would be changed from windows of a bay just beside a on the transition that the whole would be altered into the same type. 2. The type of Bunhap (connected door frame)Deul E-Yul-Gae doors + Bunhap (connected door frame) Deul E-Yul-Gae doors would be changed into Bunhap swinging doors that the whole of windows and doors could be opend very easily. 3. The type of Bunhap swinging doors + Bunhap swinging doors would be seen in the transition that windows and doors would be altered separately due to the exchange from window and doors of one of a middle bay or a bay just beside a middle bay to swinging doors and etc.

In Alvar Aalto's designs, important factors of complex building designs including Wolfsburg cultural center are that they insinuate how to develop each architectural type and how to combine them in a building. The humane and physical background studies, and wholistic and systematic approaches are adopted to fulfill research purposes. Comparison with other buildings are necessary to reveal true meaning of this building. The result of analysis show characteristics of Wolfsburg cultural center as follows; hybrid composition of mass and elevation, spatial effect using level difference and light, massing variation of roof, and creating space for various activities. Wolfsburg cultural center designed in late 1950s has greatly affected Aalto's later works through various architectural experiments because it is the first cultural complex project that combined various architectural types. Especially library in the cultural center has shown transitional characteristics to famous fan-type libraries of 1960s while maintained features about Viipuri library. Wolfsburg cultural center act as an another type which present new principles of clustering, massing and exterior design. Its true meaning lies in forming a humanizing place beyond spatial configuration.

In this study, an experiment with large-scale model was performed according to raising the embankment in order to investigate the behavior of failure for embankment and spillway transitional zone due to overtopping. The pore water pressure, earth pressure, settlement and failure pattern by a rapid drawdown and overtopping were compared and analyzed. The pore water pressure and earth pressure at spillway transitional zone by overtopping increased a rapidly with the expansion of seepage erosion, but the crest showed a smally change due to effect of the inclined core type. And it is considered an useful data that can accurately estimate the possibility of failure of the reservoirs. A settlement at overtopping decreased a rapidly due to failure of crest. The relative settlement difference due to change of the water level at the upstream and downstream slope cause increase largely crack of crest. The behavior of failure by overtopping was gradually enlarged towards reservoirs crest from the bottom of the spillway transition zone, the inclined core after the raising the embankment was influenced significantly to prevent the seepage erosion.
