This study tries to understand how the physical impairment develops to practical disabilities among adults with cerebral palsy through path analysis, based on the concept of disability by WHO that the physical impairment and "activities of daily living"(ADL) are affected by the combination of interrelated concept of personal health and environment. Pain and instrumental support are conceptualized as mediating variables for ADL among the adults with cerebral palsy, which are used in the analysis. As a result of surveying of 381 participants, paralyzed region is the only variable directly influencing ADL; other variables such as gender, age, and types of cerebral palsy do not have direct effect on ADL. However, it turns out that age, types of cerebral palsy, and paralyzed region influence on pain problems and also on ADL indirectly, when pain is introduced as a mediating variable. The study also shows that the extent of instrumental support works directly and indirectly toward pain and ADL. It means that individual impairment does not necessarily have influence on the limitations of ADL, but on the result of interrelatedness of individual factors and social factors. Finally, this study implies that the social work practice should be intervened with a new approach of the consideration of the effects of mediating variables.

While the repeated traffic loading accumulates the damage of asphalt pavement, the damage has being healed during rest periods. And then, this healing enhances the fatigue life of asphalt pavement. A method was developed to determine the healing rate of asphalt mixture in terms of recovered dissipated creep strain energy (DCSE) per unit time, and the healing properties of four different asphalt mixtures were evaluated. The test procedure consists of repeated loading test and periodical resilient modulus tests. A normalized healing rate in terms of $DCSE/DCSE_{applied}$ was defined to evaluate the healing properties independently of the amount of damage incurred in the mixture. From the test results, it was concluded that the healing rates of asphalt mixtures were increased exponentially as the temperature was increased and more affected by the structural characteristics of mixture such as asphalt content than the binder characteristics such as the polymer modification.

윤활은 모든 공업의 기반적인 기술로서 대부분의 기술자들이 직접적 또는 간접적으로 이분야에 접하고 있으며, 공업의 발전사와 더불어 발달되어온 기술이다. 작금에 이르러서는 공업의 고도화, 첨단화를 기하는데 있어서 핵심적 기술로 평가되고 있으며, 그나라 공업수준을 나타내는 지표라 일컫고 있다. 윤활기술이 세계적으로 중요성을 인정받고 많은 연구와 응용이 이루어지고 잇는 반면 국내에서는 윤활에 대하여 상대운동을 하는 두 물체 사이에 윤활제를 사용하여 운동을 원활히 하고 표면의 손상을 방지하는 것과 윤활제에관한 문제라고 가볍게 생각하는 것이 이 분야에 종사하는 사람들 및 현장의 기술자들의 사고에 깊이 침투되어 있다. 윤활의 의미에는 앞에서 기술한 바와같이 상대운동을 용이하게 하는 공학 및 윤활제에 관련된 기술이라고 하는 좁은 범위의 해석도 있으나, 총괄적인 관점에서 생각할때 마찰, 마모학을 포함하고 이와 관련된 기계, 금속, 화학, 물리 등의 모든 분야까지 통칭하여 넓은 의미로 해석하고 있다.

철강구조물 부재 내에 노치나 균열이 존재할 수 있고, 외부의 피로하중에 의하여 취약부에서 발생한 균열이 진전하여 전구조물의 최종파손을 야기시킬 수 있다. 부재를 보다 안전하게 사용하고 또한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서는 이미 손상된 부재에서 균열의 진전상태를 계측할 수 있는 방법이 확립되어져야 하고, 파괴역학적 파라미터를 이용한 사용재의 균열진전거동특성이 평가되어야 한다. 균열길이의 측정방법은 지금까지 많은 연구자들에 의하여 개발되어져 왔는데 크게 광학현미경을 이용하여 육안으로 직접 균열길이를 측정하는 방법과 컴플라이언스, 초음파, AE 또는 전기적 신호를 통하여 얻어진 결괄부터 균열길이로 환산하는 간접적인 방법으로 대별된다. 대부분의 균열길이의 측정방법은 많은 수작업이 요구되고, 특히 하한계응력확대계수영역의 미세한 균열진전량을 측정하기에는 어려움이 따르고 있다. 이에 대하여 전도체 시험편에 일정전류를 흐르게 하고 균열길이의 증가에 따라 변화하는 전위차로 이를 균열길이로 평가하는 전기적인 측정방법이 있다. 이 방법은 실험장치가 비교적 간단하고 미세한 균열길이의 측정이 용이하여 균열길이의 직접적인 측정이 곤란한 고온역 그리고 충격하중하에서의 균열길이 측정에 이용이 확대되고 있다. 이 글에서는 여러 균열길이 측정방법의 장.단점에 대하여 고찰하고, 그 중 많은 장점을 갖고 있는 직류전위차법의 실험방법을 소개한다.

In Korea, Pbichim refers to a psychological state caused by emotional damages that can occur within close relationships. In this state, one might feel reluctant to express one's feelings directly to the other party. It is also possible that Pbichim transforms into anger. This study is aimed to define the term Pbichim as an indigenous psychological concept. In Korea, it is common to express one's feelings indirectly and read the other party's inward thoughts. Pbichim reflects those cultural aspects. In order to examine the representation of Pbichim in Korea, we developed a questionnaire consisting of 15 open-ended questions. The participants were 119 undergraduate and graduate students at Korea University, and the data was analyzed qualitatively. As a result, four different aspects of Pbichim (unsatisfied expectation, being ignored, being alienated, and power struggle) could be differentiated by the situation in which people are likely to present Pbichim. The personality traits of Pbichim, the way of relieving it, as well as positive and negative functions of Pbichim were also elicited. In addition, it was found that Pbichim (the concept that has been negatively perceived) has an important function in maintaining and improving an interpersonal relationship in Korea. Lastly, the importance of mind reading within a certain cultural context is discussed.

Background:It has been suggested that the cyclooxygenase metabolites play an important role in changes of early hemodynamic parameters in the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. But there have been many debates about their role in the late increase of alveolar-capillary permeability, and it is not known whether they act directly or indirectly through oxygen free radicals which have been known to be produced during the metabolic process of cyclooxygenase pathway. So we performed this study to identify the pathogenetic role of cyclooxygenase metabolites in the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in domestic pigs. Method: We infused endotoxin into 8 domestic pigs; endotoxin only (n=3), and pretreatment with indomethacin (n=5). We observed the sequential changes in hemodynamic parameters, the concentration of plasma oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in pulmonary arterial and venous blood, and albumin content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Results: 1) While cardiac output decreased, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and alveolar-arterial oxygen difference increased over phase 1 (0-2hr) and phase 2 (2-4.5hr) by endotoxin, indomethacin attenuated the decrease in cardiac output during phase 1 and increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and alveolar-arterial oxygen difference during both phases. 2) The increase in plasma GSSG content during phase 2 was not attenuated by indomethacin. 3) The content of BALF albumin was significantly lower in indomethacin groups than that of endotoxin group. Conclusion: These results suggest that it is likely that cyclooxygenase metabolites have an effect on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury during both phases probably through direct action.

Recently, the earthquake has been increasing a lot, damage of electric power facility has been serious as well. Nowadays, the importance of pipe support system such as Hanger, Brace, Snubber connecting the main structure have been emphasized. These devices can prevent pipe from damage so that reduce the vibration and shock acting on the pipe. For this reason, the FCD(Friction Concave Damper) was developed and has been expected to reduce the vibration on the pipe through the Friction Pendulum System. This paper was described the introduction of self-developed mechanical damper using the friction pendulum principle and the characteristic test was performed to verify the performance of the device. Additionally the test results have been compared with predicted F.A.P(FCD Analysis Program-self developed) results. As a result, reliability of design could be improved.

For the applications in optical waveguides and devices, LiNbO_3$ single crystals need to overcome the weakness of optical damage due to the inhomogeneities of laser-induced refractive index. This problem can be solved by doping of Mg in LiNbO_3$ and proton exchange of LiNbO_3$. In this study, to understand the mechanism of optical damage resistance in LiNbO_3$, the changes of lattice defects in LiNbO_3$ caused by MgO doping and acid treatment were observed indirectly by $OH^-$ absorption bands using a FT-IR spectrophotometer. The effect of lattice defects on temperature, heat-treatment and polishing were also investigated. It is shown that MgO doping increases optical damage resistance by generating the defects of $Mg_{Nb}^{2+}$ in the lattice of LiNbO_3$, and that proton exchange by implantation of $H^+$ ion in the hexagonally closest packed oxygen layers on the surface of LiNbO_3$, makes lattice defects, which diffuse into the crystal after heat-treatment above $400^{\circ}C$.
