Parthenocissus tricuspidata is an epiphyte that lacks a main axial stem, but develops adhesive disks along the stem for climbing support. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were utilized to examine the brick wall surface and the adhesive disks of P. tricuspidata that attached to the surface successfully. The study was mainly focused the outermost layers of both structures before and after adhesion to find out whether there has been some structural and/or physical interactions between the two. The adhesive disks adhered firmly to the brick wall by secreting adhesive materials that help them for a tight attachment to the surface. The rough wall surface appeared facilitating better attachment of the adhesive disks by infiltrating the materials into those spaces leading to some degree of interactions at the interface. EDS analysis on the outermost layers of the adhesive disks that were separated from the substrates was also consistent with the SEM data on the interaction between the adhesive disks and the substrate surface. EDS analysis of the brick wall surface and the adhesive disks demonstrated similar elements of O, Si, Fe, Al, K, Mg, and Na in their components.

Current study was conducted to investigate the influence of parity and region variation in ultrasound live carcass traits of Hanwoo cows. A total of 1,386 heads of Hanwoo cows, spreading over six regions in Gangwon province of South Korea, were measured for longissimus muscle area, back fat thickness, marbling score and rump fat thickness by using real-time ultrasound method. The results revealed that, positive correlations were found in all ultrasound live carcass traits. All live carcass traits were increased in accordance with parity until the sixth, and then decreased thereafter. Statistical significant differences (p<0.01) were found among regions in ultrasound live carcass traits, e.g. Hanwoo cows showed highest longissimus muscle area and marbling score in Hwacheon, while the lowest back fat thickness and rump fat thickness were observed in Yanggu. Greater longissimus muscle area and marbling scores were found in Hanwoo cows which were born during autumn, 2000. Moreover, individuals born during autumn, 2005 and 2006 showed a thicker back fat and rump fat thickness. Back fat thickness had the highest positive correlation with rump fat thickness, while rib eye area and rump fat thickness had the lowest correlation.

This study was performed to determine the musculoskeletal symptoms and its association with sociodemographic and health related characteristics, job-related characteristics and occupational stress among manufacturing workers. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 856 male workers in randomly selected 62 work places with 50 or less employees in manufacturing industries during the period from October 1st, 2011 to November 30th, 2011. Complaint rates of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms was 82%. In logistic regression analysis, significant factors related with musculoskeletal symptoms were marital status, BMI, subjective health status, alcohol drinking, job position, job tenure, experience of sick absence and visiting out-patient department. In conclusion, the study results suggested that the complain rates of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms of workers in work places of manufacturing industries with 50 or less employees were higher than workers in a large enterprise or the small and medium enterprises and it was related with sociodemographic and health related characteristics, job-related characteristics and occupational stress.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how hotel employees' musculoskeletal pain, which is likely caused by their poor working environment, affects their intent on changing jobs. The participants of this study were 200 hotel employees who were experiencing musculoskeletal pain. They were asked four questions through face-to-face interviews and questionnaires. They were asked four questions through face-to-face interviews and questionnaires. These four questions were about musculoskeletal pain, the employees' working environment, their turnover intention, and their general personalities. This study finds that the musculoskeletal pain is related to the employee's turnover intention. Based on its findings, this study claims that an adequate working environment and various preventative programs are necessary to decrease the number of employees resigning and to prevent musculoskeletal pain.

The objective of this study offer the equation of the development length for GFRP reinforcement. Pullout test carried out to propose the development length for GFRP reinforcement. Test variables included embedment length (L=15, 30 and 45d$_b$ ), pure cover thickness(C=0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0d$_b$ ), diameter of reforcement(D10, D13 and D16), and three types, (domestic : K2KR, K3KR, foreign : AsUS) of GFRP reinforcement. The method of test were introduced pure pullout and tests lasted until the GFRP reinforcements were reached final failure. Based on the results through the pullout test, the bond characteristics and average bond stress for GFRP reinforcement were investigated. The equation of development length was proposed based on the regression analysis selected specimens having splitting failure. The equation gained from this study compared with the design equation provided by ACI committee 440.1R-06. The results through this study are capable of the flexural member design with GFRP reinforcement having lab spliced.

The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term effects of combined postural correction exercises (CPCE) on muscle stiffness and muscle activity in children with cerebral spastic diplegia(CSD). The subjects were 3 children (2 male and 1 female) with CSD from 4 to 7 years old. The measurement sites were upper trapezius muscle(UT), rectus abdominis muscle(RA), and gluteus maximus muscle(Gmax), muscle stiffness and muscle activity were measured using Myoton and surface EMG, and the symmetry of both sides was also examined. As a result, children with severe compensatory action showed decreased muscle stiffness and muscle activity in UT and RA and increase in Gmax after CPCE intervention. Especially, the left and right symmetry of the muscles was decreased. In this study, despite some limitations, CPCE have shown a positive effect in posture correction of children with CSD.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing rebar with non-corrosive property is suggested as an alternative replacement to steel reinforcing rebar due to its enhanced durability and non-corrosive characteristics. Currently, a limited number of glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar (GFRP) are sold commercially due to their high cost, relatively low performances, and brittle failure characteristics. Therefore, the performance enhancements and cost reduction of GFRP rebar are needed to increase its applications in construction fields. The intent of this study is to develop high performance GFRP rebar by improving its tensile and shear properties. Also, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, factors such as material composition and manufacturing process were evaluated to improve manufacturing efficiency. Finally a GFRP rebar with enhanced material properties and less expensive than the GFRP rebar currently sold in the market was manufactured and evaluated for its application possibility in construction fields.

The purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting the wage of home care workers in Incheon. For this study, 306 home care workers in Incheon were analyzed. Personal factors, work environmental factors, and regional factors were entered in the analytic model. Results showed that education level, license, employment status, work hours, and service types were associated with the wage of home care workers. Also, factors related to the supply and demand of long-term care (i.e., the number of long-term care facilities per 100 care workers, the number of long-term care facilities per 100 benefit recipients, the number of care workers per benefit recipients) were positively associated with the wage. Policy implications are discussed.
