On the crisis of international economy, the government is making an effort to seek economic growing motivation with the method of overcoming economic crisis and 'low carbon green growth'. Furthermore, to promote maritime vessel traffic service related inefficient energy wastage was revealed and eco-friendly alternative energy was accepted because of high price of oil in the beginning of 2008. In this situation, I'm going to discuss the possibility of eco-friendly energy system in maritime vessel traffic service with the way of cutting the budget and expansion of solar power generation system which was promoted to meet governmental 'energy saving plan for high price of oil'.

Background : Epidural anesthesia is now accepted as a popular technique for pain relief and anesthesia. However, accidental dural puncture may occur during placement of the epidural needle. This study was undertaken to evaluate difference of the epidural depth between parturients and non-parturients. Method : Eighty non-parturients receiving epidural anesthesia were assigned to group I, and eighty parturients whose body weight had not yet increased over 15 kg from pregnancy were assigned to group II. With patients in lateral decubitus position, 18 guage Tuohy needle was punctured by approaching at $L_{3-4}$ interspace. Epidural space was identified using loss-of-resistance to air technique. Result : Epidural depth was 4.18 cm and 4.25 cm in group I and group II respectively. There was no significant statistical difference in body mass index(BMI) and ponderal index(PI) (p<0.05), nor in epidural depth between the two groups. Conclusion : Epidural needle need not be placed deeper in parturients than in nonparturients.

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.

With development of digital technology and build-up of global network in the 21st century, Korea has recklessly accepted Western information and culture in recent years, thus causing damages to out identity. In the situation, restoration and development of traditions in a modern way will contribute to the creation of contemporary interiors. This study has analyzed and assessed the process through which traditional decorative elements have applied to contemporary interior decorations over the past ten years with a view to identify the trend of expressing traditional elements in comtemporary interiors. Designs that have applied traditional elements in a transfigure expression method amounted to 77 pieces, accounting for $43\%$ of the total investigated 178 designs, which was followed by 48 designs ($27\%$) of metaphor expression method and 39 designs ($22\%$) of symbol expression method, which express the tradition as interpreted by the designer. Designs that have adopted direct expression method amounted to no more than 14 pieces, accounting only for $8\%$ of the total designs. This result suggests that transformative, metaphoric and symbolic expressions that simplify or transform the original forms we more frequently used In the applications of traditional elements to modern interiors rather than directive expression that reproduces the original form as it was.

The UBV observations of Epsilon Aurigae from April 1982 to May 1985 had been made at Yonsei University Observatory. The light curves drawn from the observational data are combined with other light curves which are well fitted. In these light curves, secondary light variations, flare activity, mid-eclipse light brightening, and others are checked precisely. Contact times and time of mid-eclipse are determined and compared with the values which were presented on the other papers. Compared with previous eclipses, it is noted that the duration of totality is gradually contracted and the duration of total eclipse is gradually enlarged. Though these phenomena are applied to the disk model which has been more accepted than any other models, those are not explained explicitly. So, a new model, comet model, is suggested and is found to make a neat description to the phenomena revealed on the light curves.

Art psychotherapy is widely accepted as an effective tool for diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorders. Important factors for art psychotherapy diagnosis, based on the projection theory that the world of the inner mind appears in drawings, include main color and imbalance of a drawing. This paper develops a system for a machine to determine the main color and the imbalance of a drawing by color recognition and edge detection. Our proposed color recognition procedure adopts NBS(National Bureau of Standards) distance between colors in HVC(Hue, Value, Chroma) color space which is most similar to the human eye's color perception. Our edge detection procedure applies blurring, clustering and transformation to a standard color in a series. Our system considers the numbers of pixels and clusters for each color as a criterion for main color and the frequency of edge coordinates for each region for imbalance. The proposed machine procedure, verified through case studies, can help overcome the subjectivity, ambiguity and uncertainty in human decision involved in art psychotherapy.

Air transportation industry was established on a basis of liability limitation from the outset. Many treaties, however, had to be drafted since 1960' s to meet the need of the Unites States, who argued full compensation without limitation like other torts cases, but most of them were in vain. The Japanese Initiative in 1992, though being aimed to lower a level of compensation in air crash cases to that of other transportation accidents, showed a way to the U.S. how to solve the issue. Instead of obtaining an multilateral agreement through ICAO, the U.S. persuaded IATA to organize intercarrier consensus for voluntary waive the limitation. IATA succeeded in adopting Intercarrier Liability Agreement in 1995, in which carriers agreed not to use Warsaw limitation and accepted strict liability up to 100,000SDRs. Through a series of negotiation to implement the Intercarrier agreement, US DOT tried to insert a domicile standard provision to the agreement which enable US victims to be compensated according to the law of the U.S. regardless of the situation. IATA opposed the intent aggressively. The U.S. set back to the starting point remaining issues for further discussion. The liability limitation under the Warsaw system is being collapsed. It is the result of a simple logic; liability limitation cannot be maintained without appropriate compensation.

Silicate-carbon stars are characterized by oxygen-rich (O-rich) dust features despite their carbon-rich (C-rich) photospheres. While the origin of silicate-carbon stars has been a mystery ever since their discovery, the most widely accepted hypothesis is that the silicate-carbon stars have a low-luminosity companion and the O-rich material is stored in a circumbinary disk or a circumstellar disk even after the primary star becomes a carbon star. In order to study the properties of circumstellar dust envelopes of silicate-carbon stars, we perform radiative transfer model calculations using RADMC-3D with an axi-symmetric dust density distribution (a disk) as well as a spherically symmetric dust distribution. For various dust envelope models with different shapes and chemistry, we calculate the model spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and compare the model results with the observed SEDs of selected 5 silicate-carbon stars. The Circumstellar disk models are fairly well fitted with the observational data of 5 silicate-carbon stars. We find some evidences that the circumbinary disk model could be a better explanation for the origin of silicate carbon stars than the simple detached silicate dust shell model of the transition phase of the stellar chemistry.

It is well known fact that all rocks exhibit brittle properties and time depends strain properties (creep). An understanding of the time dependent deformation behaviour of rocks is believed to be essential in the field of civil and tunnelling. The rock and concrete creep in various forms of loading conditions and physical environment are reviewed. A comparison of creep behaviour between rocks and concrete is provided, in order to bring two existing relatively independent methods of predicting creep strain closer together. It was felt that the physical process in the creep of rocks would be similar to the process in creep of concrete. Since experiments and observations have shown that non-elastic (creep) mechanical behaviour of all crystalline solids (i.e., concrete, rocks, ceramics and refractories) and single materials have a common base. Also a comparison of the results for the accepted methods of estimating creep in rocks and concrete under - multiaxial loading was attempted to extend the knowledge of deformational characteristics of these two materials.

Continuous epidural blockade is a widely accepted, useful technique for providing anesthesia and analgesia. But there have been several anecdotal reports of complications such as: abnormal position, knotting, shearing of the catheter, etc. We experienced a case of shearing of the end of an epidural catheter which was difficult to remove from epidural space of a 39-year-old patient. Ultrasonogram proved to be very effective to confirm the presence and position of the retained catheter. We surgically removed the retained catheter as it could potentially lead to infection of the epidural space. We advocate the ultrasonogram as an effective procedure to confirm and locate retained epidural catheter.
