This paper deals with suicide that has become a serious problem in our society as well as in the world today from a Christian perspective. Historical position regarding suicide is divided into two; some see it as a brave and honorable act and give approval to it, the others view it as act of giving up the life that is given by God and are opposed to it. Though suicides in the Bible are mostly committed to maintain honor, because of Augustin's position it became negative in Christianity, leading to a thought that one who committed suicide goes to hell. Why then people commit suicide? The views of scholars on the cause of suicide are divided into three; biological, psychological, sociological. My position is that though each or all of them contribute to suicide, yet the decisive factor is on how a person reacts to them. Major factor of suicide is how humans as interpretive beings accept the present despair. On the basis of this understanding of suicide and humans, I conclude this paper with three new recognitions as an essential answer to suicide. First, humans are made in God's image and belong to Him, thus their life is precious. Second, Christianity views humans as ones look for the hope in the future as the eternal life. Third, suicide is a violation of the commandment 'do not kill' yet it is not an act of sin but a disease that needs to be cured. To achieve this Christianity must not only spread the idea of respect for life and also run suicide prevention center every city.

Sn도금액은 강산에서는 $Sn^{2+}$, 강알칼리에서는 $Sn^{4+}$석출이 안정하다. 중성영역은 도금액에 $Sn^{2+}$침전을 방지하기 위하여 착화제가 필요하다. 기록에 남아 있는 가장 오래된 Sn도금은 1856년 Gore가 4가의 주석산염을 사용한 알칼리성용액이다. 그 후 50~60년 사이에 2가의 염화주석($SnCl_2$)과 KOH에 Cyan 등의 착화제를 첨가한 도금액이 발표되었다. 최초의 실용적인 알칼리주석용액은 1931년 Oplinger의 4가 주석산 염으로서, $CH_3COONa$를 완충제로 사용하였고, $Sn^{2+}$을 산화시키기 위하여 과산화물이나 과 붕산염을 첨가하였다. 알칼리성 Sn용액은 Natrium용액과 Kalium용액이 있지만, Kalium염이 용해성이 좋고, Sn농도를 높여 전류밀도를 높일 수 있다. 알칼리성용액은 도금속도가 산성용액의 1/2로 되고, 음극효율도 80~90% 정도 낮아, 두꺼운 피막이나 생산성을 중시하는 부품에는 적합하지 않다. 초기의 산성용액은 Sn의 정련목적으로 사용되었고, Pb정련에 사용된 Fluor규산용액에 Gelatine을 첨가하였다. Mathers는 Cresol산을 첨가하여 미량의 Cresol포화용액을 사용하여 고속으로 두껍게 석출시킬 수 있었다. 독일의 Schloetter도 다양한 방향족 술폰산으로써 반 광택피막을 실현하였다. 산성Sn도금액은 첨가제에 어떠한 유기화합물을 사용하는가는 도금장치나 석출상태로써 결정할 수 있다. Hothersall과 Bradshaw는 Cresol술폰산을 첨가하여 도금액 안정성 향상을 발견했다. Cresol술폰산은 $Sn^{2+}$의 안정제이며, Gelatine은 분산제기능을 한다. 붕 불화용액은 Sn농도를 높일 수 있고, $2{\sim}12A/dm^2$의 고 전류밀도의 도금이 가능하다. 1937년 Schloetter가 개발하여 미국의 제철회사에서 사용되었다. Sn-Ni도금은 Ni도금보다도 뛰어난 내식성이 있기 때문에 자전거, 자동차부품에 사용되고 있다. 실용도금액은 1951년 Parkinson이 발표한 HBF/HCL용액이다. $SnCl_2$산성용액에서 표준전위는 -0.136V인데 비하여, Ni이온의 표준전위는 -0.25V이다. HF용액에서는 불화물이온이 $Sn^{2+}$의 석출전위를 (-)방향으로 이동시켜서 합금석출이 가능하다. Sn-Co도금은 Cr도금의 색조에 가깝고, 장식목적으로 사용된다. Cr도금 대체용으로 사용된다. 내마모성이나 내식성은 Cr도금보다도 떨어지기 때문에 장식목적에 한정된다. 1953년 Parkinson은 Sn-Ni도금연구에서 동일한 용액조성으로부터 Co 30%를 석출시켰다. Sn-Zn도금은 방식도금으로서 자동차부품에 많이 사용되고 있다. Sn과 Zn의 표준전위는 서로 멀리 떨어져 있기 때문에 산성용액에서는 공석될 수 없다. 1980년대에 들면서, 방식Cd(Cadmium)도금의 독성 때문에 Sn-Zn도금을 재인식 하게 되었다. 1957년 Vaid 등이 No Cyan도금액을 발표했다. 그 후 러시아의 연구자가 안정한 도금액을 연구하였고, Srivastava와 Muckergee가 1976년에 종합하였다.

This study intends to present a fragility analysis method suitable for concrete cable-stayed bridges by performing an analysis reflecting design criteria and material characteristics from the results of inelastic time-history analysis. In order to obtain the fragility curve of the cable-stayed bridge, the limit state of the main component of the cable-stayed bridge is determined, and the damage state is classified by comparing it with the response value based on inelastic time history analysis. The seismic fragility curve of the cable-stayed bridge was made by obtaining the probability of damage to PGA that the dynamic response of the vulnerable parts to input ground motion would exceed the limit state of each structural member. According to the pylon's fragility curve, the probability of moderate damage at 0.5g is 32% for the longitudinal direction, while 7% for the transversal direction, indicating that the probability of damage in the longitudinal direction is higher in the same PGA than in the transversal direction. The seismic fragility curve of the connections showed a very high probability of damage, meaning that damage to the connections caused by earthquakes is very sensitive compared to damage to the pylon and cables. The cable's seismic fragility curve also showed that the probability of complete damage state after moderate damage state gradually decreased, resulting in less than 30% probability of complete damage at 2.0g.

We have calculated and analyzed the electromagnetic responses of buried conductive pipes due to a horizontal magnetic dipole source on the pound using a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element method to provide useful guidelines for designing electromagnetic pipe locator and for field operation of the system. For single buried pipe, the horizontal component and the horizontal difference of the vertical component of magnetic field show peaks above the pipe. When comparing the width of response curves of both cases around the peak, horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field shows much narrower peak, 2 times narrower at a half of maximum amplitude, than that of horizontal component of magnetic field. Accordingly, we can pinpoint the horizontal location of pipe on the ground more accurately by measuring the horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic fold. Moreover, it will have a merit in determining the depth of pipe, because the equation for depth estimation is defined just above the pipe. When there are two buried pipes separated by two meters with each other, the response of horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field has two separate peaks each of which is located above the pipe whereas horizontal magnetic field response has only one peak above the pipe just below the transmitter. Thus, when there exist more than a buried pipe, measuring the horizontal difference of vertical magnetic field can effectively detect not only the pipe under transmitter but also adjacent ones. The width of response curves also indicates higher resolving ability of horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field.

Newborn dog chymosin was extracted from the stomachs of dogs of 2 weeks of age, and was purified by ion exchange chromatography. Half of the sequence was determined by amino acid sequencing and the complete sequence was deduced from a cloned chymosin cDNA Results showed that the zymogen showed 79% sequence identity with calf prochymosin and 54% identity with porcine pepsinogen A The size of the propart and location of the residue which becomes the amino-terminus in the active enzyme was the same in the prochymosins. The maximum general proteolytic activity at pH 3.2 of newborn dog chymosin was 3-4% of that of porcine pepsin A at pH 2, whereas the milk clotting activity relative to the general proteolytic activity of newborn dog chymosin was much higher than that of calf chymosin. Agar gel electrophoresis at pH 5.2 of stomach extracts of individual dogs showed the existence of two predominant genetic variants of zymogen and enzyme. The two variants could not be distinguished by amino acid composition or amino-terminal sequencing, and no differences in the enzymatic properties of the genetic variants were observed. It was concluded that of the residues that participate in the substrate binding, calf and newborn dog chymosin differ in the following positions (porcine pepsin numbering, subsites in parentheses) : Ser 12 Thr(S$_4$), Leu 30 Val(S$_1$/S$_3$), His 74 Gln(S'$_2$), Val 111 Ile(S$_1$/S$_3$), Lys 220 Met(S$_4$). With regard to the low general proteolytic activity of newborn dog chymosin, the substitution Asp303 Val relative to calf chymosin may contribute to an explanation of this.

The purpose of auditing is to express an auditor's opinion on the fair presentation of the financial position and business operations of companies according to the financial accounting standards, and to raise the reliability of the financial statements and to enable the user of the financial statements to make a proper judgement on the companies. There should be an audit risk in the audit of the financial statements in a modem sense because it is done by the sampling audit not by the detailed one. Audit risk is the risk that an auditor may unknowingly fail to modify appropriately the auditors' report on financial statements containing a material misstatement. The audit risk eventually hurt the reliability of the financial statements when the auditors set up different audit risks because it is determined by the auditor's professional judgement. Thus, there have been negative opinions on the Audit Risk Model suggested in the SAS No. 47 because it cannot explain the process of auditor's judgement and bring different results. In view of the results so far achieved, which influences the auditor's decision making, should be done by the Belief Function Mode Model in a position of raising the reliability of the financial statements and emphasizing the usefulness and effectiveness of the auditing.

To assess the reliability of chronobiological models of sleep/wake regulation, it is necerssary that the models predict the data which has been studied in sleep research, and they should be generalized across all ages. To date, many adult human data on such models have accumulated, yet it is evident that a comprehensive theory of the biorhythmic aspects of sleep/wake states has not established. Circadian rhythms such as the time going to bed, sleep onset, slow wave sleep pressure, periodicity of REM sleep, daytime performance, and early evening alertness are resumed everyday. Even in adult humans, sleep is inherently polyphasic. In both the disentrained and entrained states, naps when allowed tend to recur in a temporally lawful manner. The monophasic sleep pattern of most industrial societies therefore appears to be purely of social origin. The endogenous biorhythmic nature of circasemidian sleep tendency is supported by the ubiquity of the phenomenon across all ages. The NREM/REM sleep cycle within sleep with its inherent physiological, endocrine, and neurochemical fluctuations represents the best-documented ultradian sleep rhythms. Also, a daytime ultradian variation in sleepiness with a periodicity similar to nocturnal NREM/REM cycle(BRAC hypothesis) is suggested. This review article provides a brief synoptic review of the evidences for circadian, circasemidian, and ultradian sleep/wake rhythms, and then the authour will suggest the issues which expedite fuller modeling of sleep/wake system, to be further discussed.

Concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehy de were respectively analysed in forty-five alcoholic beverages obtained from the market. After derivatization with PFBHA, GC-ECD and GC-MSD were employed for analysis. The peak area of aldehyde oximes (derivatives with PFBHA) increased with the increasing ethanol content (5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 40%). When three-point calibration corves for the selected ethanol concentration (5, 13, 21 and 40%, v/v) were studied, suitable linearity against ethanol concentration was observed only under 5, 13, and 21% (ethanol, v/v). After analysis, maximum content of formaldehyde (average of 0.272 ppm) and acetaldehyde (average of 15.262 ppm) among the observed 45 alcoholic beverages was found from whisk (2 species) while minimum content of formaldehyde (average of 0.009 ppm) and acetaldehyde (average of 0.805 ppm) was found from diluted soju (4 species).

The limiting equivalent conductances of LiCl, NaCl, KCl and KBr have been obtained in water using conductometric method from 1 to 2000 bars at $25^{\circ}C$. From the limiting equivalent ionic conductances (obtained using TATB[Tetraphenyl Arsonium Tetraphenyl Borate]method) of $Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Br^-$ ions and viscosity of water at given pressure, their Stokes radii have been calculated. From the corrected radii caliberated by Nightingale method and the crystallographic radii at a given pressure, the volume of hydration-shell surrounding ion was calculated and hydration numbers of $Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Br^-$ ions were obtained. From the experimental results, it was found that the hydration number of $Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Br^-$ ions slightly decreased with increasing pressure. This trend may be explained by Horne's suggestion[Advances in High Pressure Research]. Comparing results of this study with those of Nakahara's, the hydration numbers of $K^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions were almost twice as large as those of Nakahara's[Rev. Phys. Chem. Japan, 42, 12 (1972)]. By comparing the present results with those of Kollman's [J. Am. Chem. Soc., 113, 2481 (1991)], the hydration number obtained by applying TATB method and Nightingale method may be inferred to be reasonable.

Risk-Risk-based inspection (RBI) has been developed in order to identify risky equipments that can cause major accidents or damages in large-scale plants. This assessment evaluates the equipment's risk, categorizes their priorities based on risk level, and then determines the urgency of their maintenance or allocates maintenance resources. An earlier version of the risk-based assessment software is already installed within the equipment management system; however, the assessment is based on examination by an inspector, and the results can be influenced by his subjective judgment, rather than assessment being based on failure probability. Moreover, the system is housed within a server, which limits the inspector's work space and time, and such a system can be used only on site. In this paper, the development of independent risk-based assessment software is introduced; this software calculates the failure probability by an analytical method, and analyzes the field inspection results, as well as inspection effectiveness. It can also operate on site, since it can be installed on an independent platform, and has the ability to generate an I/O function for the field inspection results regarding the period for an optimum maintenance cycle. This program will provide useful information not only to the field users who are participating in maintenance, but also to the engineers who need to decide whether to extend the lifecycle of the power machinery or replace only specific components.
