This study was conducted to investigate the interaction of aflatoxin B$_1$($AFB_1$) and vitamin D$_3$($VD_3$) in broiler chicks. The 336 broiler chicks(Hubbard line) of equally mixed sex were allocated to triplicate 8(2$\times$4 factorial) treatment groups. The 0 or 1ppm of AFB$_1$and 0, 500, 1,000 or 1,500IU/kg of VD$_3$ were supplemented to the basal diet Fourteen broilers of equally mixed sex were allocated to each replica and 24 groups were arranged in a randomized block design After 3 weeks of feeding the metatarsus were collected from the right and left legs of 4 chicks (2 for each sex) per group. The bone ash and minerals were measured. 1. In respect to the fresh weight of metatarsus bone no significant difference was found between 0 and 1ppm $AFB_1$ treatments, however, decreasing trend was recognized when fed increasing level of $VD_3$(P＜.01). 2. The ash content in non－fat dry metatarsus bone decreased when fed 1ppm $AFB_1$(P＜.01). However, that increased according to the increasing amount of $VD_3$(P＜.01). Although there was no interaction between $AFB_1$ and $VD_3$ it was shown that the 1500IU/kg of $VD_3$ was neccessary to cover the decrease in ash content of metatarsus. when fed 1ppm of $AFB_1$. 3. The Ca contents in metatarsus were not influenced by feeding $AFB_1$ but an increasing trend was verified by feeding increasing levels of $VD_3$(P＜.05). 4. The P content decreased as $AFB_1$ was fed(P＜.01), while no response was found when fed'different levels of $VD_3$ 5. The Cu content decreased when fed $AFB_1$(P＜.05). 6. The Na, Mg, K, Zn, Fe and Mn contents were not affected by feeding $AFB_1$ and /or $VD_3$.

Purpose: The study was designed to verify effects of aromatherapy on depression, anxiety and the autonomic nervous system in breast cancer patients who are undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy. Methods: Data were collected from November 2006 through March 2007 at the C university hospital in Seoul. The study included 33 patients and they were assigned to three groups. Group I had aroma oil inhalation for 2 minutes per time, three times a day for six weeks whereas Group II and a control group inhaled aroma oil for 2 minutes per time, once a day for six weeks. For Groups I and II, a mixture of lemon, lavender, rosewood and rose essential oils were used while control group inhaled tea tree oil. Results: Depression was significantly decreased in patients in the experimental groups only. In Groups I and II patients, anxiety level was lower than that in control patients. Patients in Groups I and II also showed stronger physical resistance to stress than control group patients. Conclusion: Aromatherapy should be considered as a method that can significantly decrease depression in breast cancer patients who are undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hydrogen peroxide at different application time and concentrations on the microtensile bond strength of resin restorations to the deep and the pulp chamber dentin. A conventional endodontic access cavity was prepared in each tooth, and then the teeth were randomly divided into 1 control group and 4 experimental groups as follows: Group 1, non treated; Group 2, with 20% Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$); Group 3, with 10% $H_2O_2$; Group 4, with 5% $H_2O_2$; Group 5, with 2.5% $H_2O_2$; the teeth of all groups except group 1 were treated for 20, 10, and 5min. The treated teeth were filled using a Superbond C&B (Sun medical Co., Shiga, Japan). Thereafter, the specimens were stored in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24-hours and then sectioned into the deep and the chamber dentin. The microtensile bond strength values of each group were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test(p < 0.05). In this study, the microtensile bond strength of the deep dentin (D1) was significantly greater than that of the pulp chamber dentin (D2) in the all groups tested. The average of microtensile bond strength was decreased as the concentration and the application time of $H_2O_2$ were increased. Analysis showed significant correlation effect not only between the depth of the dentin and the concentration of $H_2O_2$ but also between the concentration of H202 and the application time(p < 0.05), while no significant difference existed among these three variables(p > 0.05). The higher $H_2O_2$ concentration, the more opened dentinal tubules under a scanning electron microscope(SEM) examination.

Pythium blight caused by Pythium spp. is one of major diseases in putting green of golf course. In this study, microorganisms which are anatgonistic to Pythium aphanidermatum, a pathogen of pythium blight, were selected primary through in vitro tests, dual culture method and triple layer agar diffusion method. In vivo test against pythium blight were conducted to select the best candidate biocontrol microorganism by pot experiment in a plastic house. Bacillus subtilis GB-0365 was finally selected as a biocontrol agent against pythium blight. Relative Performance Indies(RPI) was used as a criterion of selecting potential biocontrol agent. B. subtilis GB-0365 showed resistance to major synthetic agrochemicals used in golf course. Alternative application of synthetic agrochemicals and B. subtilis GB-0365 was most effective to successfully contol pythium blight. B. subtilis GB-0365 suppressed the development of pythium bight of bentgrass by 56.4% as compared to non-treated control and its disease control efficacy was 60.9% of a synthetic fungicide Oxapro(WP) efficacy. B. subtilis GB-0365 has a potential to be a biocontrol agent for control of pythium blight.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aesthetics of smartphones on subjective and objective usability by the task factors. Although several studies have focused on the effects of aesthetics on subjective and objective usability, correlation between aesthetics and objective usability is ambiguous. Using smartphones which have same functions but different aesthetics, thirty-six subjects were asked to complete one of 3 types of tasks (inputting information, searching information, enjoying information). Both performance data and subjective measures were recorded. The results showed that high aesthetics had a more positive effect on subjective usability than low aesthetics before and after use, with smaller difference after use. High aesthetics seemed to yield longer task completion times. But objective usability was not significantly affected by both task factors and aesthetics. The results indicated that aesthetics may have multiple effects that go beyond affective satisfaction. The findings of this study could be applied to predict effects of aesthetics on subjective and objective usability in usability testing.

대전에 소재하는 C 대학교 병원의 물리치료실에 2003년 5월 9일부터 2004년 10월 20일까지 내원한 환자들 중 견부 통증의 진단으로 치료를 받은 환자 가운데 중추신경계에 손상 병력이 없고, 치료사와 의사소통이 가능한 인지 능력을 가졌으며, 실험에 참가하기로 동의한 환자를 대상으로 내원한 순서에 따라 아로마 초음파군, 아로마군, 초음파군에 각각 30명씩을 배정하여 실험한 결과, 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 통증의 정도를 알아보는 시각적 통증 점수가 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 통증 감소의 정도도 차이가 있었다. 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군과 아로마군의 통증 감소의 정도가 초음파군에 비해 높았다(p<0.001). 또한 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 McGill-Melzac 통증 점수 역시 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 차이는 없었지만, 교호작용을 고려하면 아로마를 사용한 군에서 감소 폭이 더 큰 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 압통계의 역치 역시 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 모든 군에서 상승하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 역치 증가의 정도에도 차이가 있었는데(p<0.05), 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군이 아로마군에 비해 역치 증가의 폭이 더 컸다. 따라서 압통계의 역치 증가는 아로마 보다는 초음파에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 아로마 오일은 주관적이고, 정서적인 통증을 검사하는 시각적 통증 점수와 McGill-Melzac 점수에 많은 영향을 미치는 반면 조직의 회복에 의해 상승하는 압력 역치를 검사하는 압통계의 수치에는 영향을 적게 미침을 확인할 수 있었으며, 반면 초음파는 주관적, 정서적인 통증의 감소보다는 실제 조직이 회복되면서 감소하는 통증에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Currently, active research is being performed on printing of electronic devices such as RFID devices, flexible displays, solar cells, and e-paper. This technique has several advantages over existing technologies such as lithography and etching. In particular, RFID devices, flexible displays, solar cells, and e-paper require flexibility and a mass production system. Thus, attention is being focused on the roll-to-roll process. High quality should be guaranteed in the roll-to-roll printed electronics systems, and good thickness and roughness qualities must be ensured. Experimental design was applied to this problem to analyze the main effects and interaction effects of various factors. Matching technology between the nip roll characteristics and the quality of the print pattern in roll-to-roll printed electronics systems was proposed to improve the printing quality.

The reliability of hydraulic equipment used in power plants is especially important because failures that occur in the power plant can have a great ripple effect on human lives and financial losses. In this study, specimens using the materials used in the spool and sleeve of hydraulic valves of power plants have been produced, heat-treated, and tested under the precipitation conditions of phosphate ester hydraulic fluid with a variety of conditions. 23 full factorial designs have been applied to evaluate the significance of factors that affect the wear loss of the specimen, specifically, the load, velocity, and temperature. The significance evaluation was performed on the main effects and two-way interactions for wear loss based on the experiment results, and the mathematical equations between the wear loss and the three factors were derived from the analysis results.
