In the study on the waveform analysis of radial artery pulse diagnosis, we need to establish fundaments of contemporary pulse diagnosis research. As we will to do experimental research on the difference of pulse waveform on the radial artery with applied variations of pressure(5 stage-pressure) and measuring position(CHON, KWAN, CHEOG). First of all, in this research, we did the experiment of the study on the waveform analysis of radial artery(left KWAN) pulse dignosis by using 3 dimension pulse meter and analyzer (3D MAC). As a result. we extracted the seven measurement fluents : energy(E), size of cycle(h1), size of reflection cycle(h2), time of reflection cycle(t2), time of contraction (t4), width of cycle(w), area of waveform(A) by the statistically reasonable differences. We expect that the seven measurement fluents contribute to divide the situation through the results of waveform analysis of radial artery.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the effects of an exercise correction program for scoliosis on the physical and psychological functions of middle-school students with scoliosis. Method: The design of this study was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The students who participated in the study were 45 middle school students with scoliosis. Twenty-four students were assigned to the experimental group and 21 to the control group. The treatment given to the experimental group was a scoliosis correction exercise program. The scoliosis correction exercise program was given 3 times a week for a period of 12 weeks. Result: For Cobb's angle, a significant decrease was observed in the experimental group. For flexibility, the sit-and-reach test showed a significant increase in the experimental group. For depression, self-esteem and body satisfaction, the difference between the two groups was not significant. Conclusion: Based on the above results, the effects of a spine correction exercise program produced a decrease in Cobb's angle and an increase in the sit-and-reach test for flexibility. This program is not expensive and is convenient, and thus has been identified as a good nursing intervention for correcting scoliosis.

지난 40년간 한국에서는 농업생산 특히 쌀 생산의 가속화를 위한 노력으로서 관계사업에 큰 비중을 두어 왔다. 따라서 관계건설과 농지개량에대한 투자는 괄목할 만큼 신장되어 1960년 대 이래 총투자액은 미화 61억달러에 달하고 있다. 그 결과 관계에 대한 잠자력과 관계면적은 크게 확장되어 지난 40여년간 순관계면적은 1945년의 188.200ha로부터 1988년의 195.750ha로 증가 되었으며 이 숫자는 한구구 총 수면적의 73%에 이르는 면적이다. 한국에는 농업수자원의 개발과 관리를 계획, 실시하는 임무가 부여된 국가기관이 있다. 그러나 이에 관련되는 국가수준의 기관이 하나이상이므로 관련되는 기관간의 통합이 문제로 제기되고 있다. 이러한 문제는 얼마간 인식디되고 있지만 아직도 심각하게 남아 있다. 농지개량조합 농촌근대화촉진법에 의하여 조직되고 운영되고 있다. 각 조합에서는 관계관리에 대한 정책, 관계수 분배계획 수자원관리 등을 담당하는 농민관계단체인 흥농계가 조직되고 있다. 농가수준에서의 관계개발 및 관리에 관련되는 문제점 및 주요쟁점은 다음과 같음을 확인할 수 있었다. 1. 관계조직 및 물 사용의 저효율 2. 몽리 구역내의 부과 합리화 및 징수방법 3. 수제의 부과 합리화 및 징수방법 4. 현재의 낡은 관계조직 5. 관계시설을 효율적으로 운영, 유지관리 하기위한 훈련된 인력 6. 관련 기관간의 통합 한국의 현 경제성장 단계에 비추어 볼 때 물의 수요와 수자원의 고갈이 증대되고 있으며 새로운 수자원 개발은 점점 어려워지고 또 고가이다. 따라서 더 이상의 발전을 위해서는 토지와 수자원의 효율적이고 경제적인 이용은 물론 현재 관계조직의 개선과 집중적인 관리가 강조 되어야할 것으로 생각된다.

코드분할 다중통신(Code Division Multiple Access Communication)은 Spread Spectrum 통신의 발전된 형태로서 군사목적상 이동 무선통신(Combat Multiple Communication)을 위해서 최근들어 급속도로 중요시 되고있다. 잘 알려진 바와 같이 두 가지 가장 일반적인 다중통신 방식은 주파수 분할 다중통신방식과 시분할 다중 통신 방식이다. 주파수 분할 다중통신 방식에서는 모든 사용자가 각각 다른 주파수를 사용하여 동시에 신호를 보내고 시분할 다중통신에서는 같은 주파수를 사용하되 시간대를 달리하고 있다. 이 두가지 방식을 결합하여 모든 사용자가 같은 시각과 같은 주파수를 공유하여 통신을 가능케 할 수 있는 방식이 코드분할 다중통신이다. 여기에서 사용자는 각각 고유한 코드를 부여받는다. 이때 각 코드간에는 낮은 상관계수(Cross-correlation )를 가져야 하며, 이러한 성질을 만족하는 코드 집합을 구하기 위한 노력이 경주되었으며 현재까지 2진법 코드 집합으로서 Gold, Kasami, No 코드가 알려져 있으며, 복잡성(Complexity)을 증가시키기 위한 노력으로서 (군사목적에 중요) 다진법 코드에 대한 연구가 활발해지고 있으나 공개된 것은 없었다. 최근에 (1990), 다진법 코드로서 Kumar 코드가 발표되었다. 그러나 이러한 코드들은 복잡성(Complexity or Linear Span)을 증가시키지는 못하였다. 본 논문은 복잡성(Complexity)이 증가한 새로운 다진법 코드의 집합을 제안하였다. 각 집합은 $P^{n}$ 개의 코드로 구성되며, 최대 상관계수 값은 $f^{m}$ (p-1)-1 이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of arm flexion patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on muscle activation in the contralateral lower extremity. Open kinematic chain and closed kinematic chain positions were used. Methods: This study used an electromyogram (MP150, Biopac Systems, USA) to measure muscle activation in 20 healthy male students. Comparative analysis was completed on muscle activation of the vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius of the contralateral lower extremity. Open kinematic chain and closed kinematic chain positions were used with a unilateral arm flexion-abduction-external rotation pattern. Paired t-tests using the SPSS 12.0 for Windows analyzed the data produced by the electromyogram. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in muscle activation in the biceps femoris, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior when the open kinematic chain and closed kinematic chain positions were compared (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The biceps femoris, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles showed greater muscle activation in the closed kinematic chain position when compared to the open kinematic chain position.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on episodes of foot drop and the ability to cross obstacles in stoke patients. Methods: The patient was a 57-year-old man with left hemiplegia. This patient displayed episodes of foot drop while walking and issues with crossing obstacles. The patient underwent therapeutic exercises and occupational therapy twice daily at a hospital five times a week. The patient was treated with PNF outside of these therapeutic sessions. Each session, which was 60 minutes in length, was conducted 3 times a week over 8 weeks. Over the course of treatment, a pre-test and post-test were completed. The patient walked for a test time of 6M. During the testing process, the patient crossed obstacles. In addition, the number of foot drop episodes was recorded. Each test was measured three times to determine the mean value. Results: After the PNF treatments, the number of foot drop episodes decreased from five to one. The 6M walking test time during which the patient crossed obstacles also decreased from 18 seconds to 10 seconds. Conclusion: The use of PNF treatments is beneficial to reduce the number of foot drop episodes while walking and to improve the ability to cross obstacles in stroke patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to review articles related to PNF and easily provide information to readers who have difficulty reading papers or using PNF in clinics without a background in statistical knowledge. Methods: We used PubMed to collect papers on international studies and we conducted a search on April 28, 2014. Keywords used for the PubMed search were "PNF" and "Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation". The search results identified 765 papers that had been published since 1954. To target the papers for review, we selected 66 papers, excluding papers that were not published in online journals and papers that were written in a second language. Results: The reviewed papers consisted of studies that addressed basic principles and procedures, combined with other interventions, including PNF stretching concepts, and other diseases with PNF concepts. The articles related to basic procedures and principles reported on optimal contraction intensity, patterns, and irradiation. The articles related to stretching and strengthening reported on stretching the hamstring muscles in healthy subjects, in combination with other interventions such as neuromobilization, clinical massage, kinesio taping, and water immersion. The articles related to specific diseases reported on stroke, low back pain, athletic injury, total knee replacement, etc. Conclusion: In the 66 articles reviewed for this study, there was little evidence that PNF has therapeutic value. However, in future research on the application of PNF, investigators could conduct a more in-depth analysis of this topic and present more objective and useful information on the therapeutic benefits of PNF.

Purpose: The study aimed to examine the influence of PNF direct and indirect breathing treatments for patients with cervical spinal cord injuries who had breathing problems. Methods: For each cervical spinal cord patient, force vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow, maximum phonation time (MPT), rib cage width, and VAS were measured pre-intervention and four weeks after post-intervention. The indirect method and the direct method were used for interventions. We treated patients with the indirect method using scapular anterior depression pattern, bilateral extensor pattern with rhythmic initiation, and a combination of isotonic. We treated patients with the direct method, applying pressure on the sternum and using rhythmic initiation (hold relax and stretch reflex) for the rib cage. Training occurred for 50 minutes a day and three days per week for four weeks. Results: FVC, MPT, peak expiratory flow, and rib cage width were increased and decreased at the VAS point for rolling after treatment. Conclusion: Patients with cervical spinal cord injuries who had breathing problems felt uncomfortable when they had conversations on a couch. We found that PNF direct and indirect treatments improved rib cage width and breathing functions of patients with cervical spinal cord injuries.

Purpose : This study aimed to compare the effect of two modes (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combination patterns and ball exercise) of low back stability for chronic low back patients. Methods : The subjects were recruited fourty patients who had low back pain. All subjects were randomly assigned to PNF combination patterns group, ball exercise group. Measurements were performed fourtimes: pre test, 2weeks, 4weeks, and 6weeks. Main outcome measures comprised the visual analogue scale(VAS), balance performance monitor(BPM). Results : The results were as follows. In the comparison of VAS score, sway area, sway path, and sway velocity according treatment period, score was significantly reduced in both PNF combination pattern group and ball exercise group. In the comparison of the both VAS and sway area between groups, there were significant. PNF combination pattern group significantly more decrease than ball exercise group at 6 weeks. However, both sway path and sway max velocity between group, there were not significantly. Conclusion : These results of this study indicated that PNF combination pattern which performed for six weeks had a significant influence than ball exercise group on low back pain.
