The morphology of deposits on $15-{\mu}m$ thin SiC filaments has been investigated with SEM and compared with UV-excited laser induced broadband fluorescences in co-flowing, propane laminar diffusion flames in a reduced oxidizer environment. The homogeneous morphology of droplet-like deposits inner flame zone and the agglomeration of condensed-phase deposits and the transition to soots from grown up droplet-like precursors with approaching the flame surface can be observed in a barely sooting flame. The average size of the mature soots deposited in the luminous flame edge is scarcely dependent on their axial position in a confined flame under reduced oxidizer condition. A double structure of PAH fluorescence is observed in near-extinction flames with further decreasing of oxidizer. A comparison of the PAH fluorescence with the morphologies of deposits indicates that appearance of the "dark" hollow zone is caused by a decreased number density of developed liquid-phase large molecules and the outer weak fluorescence zone is caused by the diffusion of gas-phase small molecules.

Icons are the main element of the graphic user interface (GUI). They can help users perform effectively on the computer, especially when the icons reflect user`s mental model. However, few studies in Korea represented Korean users` mental models in icon design. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to ascertain whether existing icons agreement with Korean twentieth mental model, and to deduce properties of Korean twentieth mental model. To do that, 10 icons from two commercially available toolbar-icons of word processing programs were compared with the newly developed icons, which were developed to represent Korean user`s mental modelthrough interviews, surveys, and mental model sketches. The results show that five new metaphors were found: a dog-eared part on the bottom right corner new for new document, a magnifying glass for search, a red pencil for spell-check, `＋` and `` signs in the magnifying glass for zoom, and a yellow post-it for paste. These new icons were preferred to the existing. Korean twentieth users preferred rather complex and dynamic icons than simple and static ones even though icon development guideline said simple icons are better.

This paper analyzes the central tenet of 'embodied cognition' approaches to the mind which emphasize the essential roles that the body and the environment play in cognitive processes. Those approaches can be best understood through the comparison with the neo-Cartesian conception of the mind, which views the mental and cognitive processes as the same with, or as being realized by the brain processes. However, we can also observe potential tensions among the 'embodied cognition' approaches. This paper highlights a tension between Shapiro's view of embodied cognition and Clark's view of extended cognition by reconsidering them against Block's dilemma of functionalism. Shapiro's view may be regarded as a chauvinistic form of functionalism, whereas Clark's view is a very liberal form of functionalism.

Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare condition, and with widespread use of cardiac catheterization, angiography and selective coronary arteriography are being recognized with increasing frequency. Fistula originating from the right coronary artery are more common then those from the left coronary artery. The fistula empties into the right side of the heart in 90% of the cases with the right ventricle being the most common recipient chamber followed by the right atrium and the pulmonary artery. Recently we experienced two cases of congenital coronary artery fistula which originated from the left coronary artery each other. The first case was 17 moth-old-male, who have had the symptoms of frequent URI, dyspnea and continuous murmur in physical examination. The fistulous communication was noted between the left circumflex coronary artery and the right ventricle with aneurysmal dilation of RV wall. The proximal opening of the fistulous tract was directly close with partial aneurysmorrhaphy of RV wall. Also the termination site of fistulous tract in RV chamber was closed. The second case was 35-year-old female, who have had the symptom of exertional dyspnea and continuous murmur in physical examination. The tortuous and dilated fistulous tract was noted between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the pulmonary artery. The proximal opening of the fistula was ligated near the left anterior descending coronary artery with preservation of normal continuity of coronary artery. And the dilated tortuous vessel was excised. Also the terminal site in pulmonary artery was directly closed just above the pulmonic valve. Postoperative hospital courses of two patients were uneventful without any specific complications and discharged without problems.

Aerosol number concentration ($N_{CN}$), size distribution and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentration ($N_{CCN}$) were measured during 16-21 August 2008 at Daegwallyeong (DG) located in the eastern rural region of the Korean Peninsula. In the very next week (22-29 August 2008) the same aerosol properties were measured at Yeongjong Island (YJ) in the Yellow Sea. $N_{CN}$ for all 3 size cuts (above 3, 6 and 10 nm) was significantly higher at DG than YJ, but $N_{CCN}$ was significantly lower at the former and resulted in the $N_{CCN}/N_{CN}$ ratio more than twice higher at YJ ($0.94{\pm}0.09$ vs. $0.35{\pm}0.15$ at 0.53% supersaturation). The geometric mean diameter at DG, $53{\pm}15nm$, was much smaller than that at YJ, $91{\pm}6nm$, due to the particle formation events that were likely to have occurred continuously at DG. For given mean diameter, aerosols were more likely to act as CCN at YG compared to those at DG.

The composites composed of conducting polymer (MEH-PPV), CdTe nanoparticles, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were spectroscopically and electrically characterized in their thin films. The composite films were prepared by spray coating. These composites were prepared from the mixture solution of MEH-PPV and CdTe-embedded MWNTs, in which CdTe nanoparticles were electrostatically bound to MWNTs. UV/vis and PL spectra were analyzed to investigate the optical absorbance and emission of the composite films. In addition, their structural, electrochemical, and electrical properties were studied by transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and I-V measurement.

We investigate the flame behavior and spatial distribution of OH, PAHs and soot in a confined buoyant diffusion flame with decrease of the coflowing air flow rate. Direct photographs and Schlieren images represent that flame is Ally occupied by blue flame and becomes unstable, which is partially detached to the fuel nozzle tip in a near extinction flame under extremely reduced oxidizer condition. Laser induced fluorescence profiles clearly shows that OH is still generated in near-extinction flame, although intensity becomes weak with decreasing air flow rate. But soot scattering image cannot be seen any more in an oxidizer deficient ambience and simultaneously the PAHs are widely distributed downstream. These results are due to that a decrease of oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber leads to a temperature drop of flame, as a consequence, to a delay in soot growth and to a expanding of the PAHs, as soot precursors.

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare, slow-growing benign neoplasm, originating from submesothelial Hbroblasts. Approximately 80% of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura originate in . the visceral pleura and 20% in the parietal pleura. Many of these tumors are pedunculated, attached to the visceral pleura via a well-vasculariEed stalk, and in size from 1 to 36cm with a mean of 6cm. This case report is of a 48 year old woman who presented with dyspnea and right flank pain. Preoperative chest x-ray showed increased hazy density at right lower lung field, and CT scan showed huge heterogeneous mass which was located in right mid and lower thorax. She underwent surgical resec- tion and a lOX15X loom(2200gm weigh) sized large mass was excised. Final histologic diagnosis was solitary fibrous tumor of the plara. The patient was discharged without any complications postoperately.

This research analyzes trends of fashion show window displays, regarding it as a new form of installation art that has the characteristics of contemporary art. Fashion show window displays are more than a physical space for displaying and have emerged as a new space in which creative expressions of arts take place. This research presents the characteristics of contemporary fashion show window displays by analyzing the characteristics of contemporary art. First, recent show window displays have shown "decentralization": various themes, forms, and mediums that are accepted without discrimination. Recent show window displays deviate from conventional methods, constantly pursuing experimental and progressive ideas and also include categories of current art, body art, and live art. Second, show window display has "interactiveness" that enables two-way communication between audiences and art, rather than fixing audiences as receptive viewers. Third, "textuality" can be found in show window displays. Recent show windows are use "objects" to show products as well as to express the meaning and symbols of products. A new directionality and effective strategies are shown to be imperative for the future development of fashion show window displays.

Soot generation by combustion process has been investigated with objective of understanding of chemical reaction responsible for its formation in a coaxial laminar propane jet diffusion flame. For the direct photos, as the coflowing air flow rate is reduced, the area of soot luminous zone increases at first, then becomes smaller and smaller, and even disappears. The aspects of soot deposition can be acquired by using nine $15{\mu}m$ thin SiC fibers are positioned horizontally across the flame. Deposited soots on SiC fibers show the soot inception point and growth and soot oxidation zone in a typical propane diffusion. Soot is not generated anymore in a oxidizer deficient conditions of near-extinction and flame is fully occupied by transparent blue flame. It suggests that nonsooting pyroligneous blue reaction is being dominant in a oxidizer deficient ambience. In comparison with luminosities of SiC fibers and flame itself, indirect evidence is found that the process of soot nucleation and growth is endothermic reaction. It is remarkable that there exists two adjacent regions to have antithesis characteristics; one is exothermic reaction of blue flame and another endothermic reaction zone of soot formation.
