To meet stringent LEV and ULEV emission standards, a considerable amount of development work was necessary to ensure suitable efficiency and durability of catalyst systems. The main challenge is to cut off the engine cold-start emissions. It is known that up to 80% of the total hydrocarbons(THC) are exhausted within the first five minutes in case of US FTP 75 cycle. Close-Coupled Catalyst(CCC) provides fast light-off temperature by utilizing the energy in the exhaust gas. However, if some malfunction occurred at engine operation and the catalyst temperature exceeds 1050$\^{C}$, the catalytic converter is deactivated and shows the poor conversion efficiency. This paper presents effEcts of engine operating conditions on catalytic converter temperature in a SI engine, which are the indications of catalytic deactivation. Exhaust gas temperature and catalyst temperature were measured as a function of air/fuel ratio, ignition timing and misfire rates. Additionally, light-off time was measured to investigate the effect of operating conditions. It was found that ignition retard and misfire can result in the deactivation of the catalytic converter, which eventually leads the drastic thermal aging of the converter. Significant reduction in light-off time can be achieved with proper control of ignition retard and misfire, which can reduce cold-start HC emissions as well.

This article is focused how the maritime strategy between continental powered country(the Soviet, the China) and maritime powered country(the U.S.) interact with attack and defense theory. We will know, what is the maritime strategy that the U.S. of military superiority has pursued with the point of view of attack, on the other hand, relatively what is the maritime strategy that the Soviet-Sino of military inferiority has pursued with the point of view of defense. In cold war, the Soviet has counteracted to 'blue belt defense' in active defense as to the U.S. 'sea strike' and in post cold war, the China counteract to 'A2/AD' as to the U.S. 'Air-Sea Battle'. The difference between the Soviet-Sino maritime strategy is that the China has emerged the second an economic power and their leadership has a strong's will to strengthen their navy's power. although the U.S. declare the pivot to Asia, the influence on Asia of the U.S. tend to decrease because of sequest. therefore, the China will seek to the more active defense beyond the first island chain. Meanwhile, the U.S. has reinforced of 'hub and spoke strategy' to solidify the U.S. formal allies to band together regional powers and to overcome the A2/AD challenge, the U.S. has been developed that the Air-Sea Battle concept meshes with Washington's 'rebalancing' policy toward the Asia-Pacific as its vital missions to safeguard core island or semi-island allies-namely, Korea and Japan-and crucial sea lanes of communication in the region are conducted mostly from or over the sea.

연구 배경 : 기관지 천식에서 찬 공기와 연관된 기침 및 호흡기계 증상유발은 흔히 관찰된다. 임상에서 천식이 의심되는 환자를 대상으로 다단계 등탄산 찬공기 과호흡법(isocapnic hyperventilation of cold air, 이하 IHCA)의 민감도, 특이도 및 정확도를 구하고 진단적 유용성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1999년 7월부터 2000년 12월까지 전향적으로 인하대학교 의과대학 부속병원에 내원한 임상적으로 천식을 의심하는 환자에서 폐기능검사, 기관지유발검사와 IHCA를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 기관지 천식환자는 50예, 증상 대조군이 79예이었고 양 군간 남녀 비, 나이, 흡연의 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 검사 전 $FEV_1$과 FVC에서 정상 범주였으나 천식군이 증상 대조군보다 통계적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). IHCA에 대한 $FEV_1$ 감소는 천식 환자군($-10.0{\pm}6.8%$)에서 증상 대조군($-2.3{\pm}2.5%$)보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01). IHCA의 $FEV_1$ 감소반응과 연관된 인자들은 $FEV_1$/FVC(r=0.36, p<0.05), $FEF_{25-75%}$/FVC (r=0.33, p<0.05), $FEF_{25-75%}$ (r=0.32, p<0.05), 검사 전 $FEV_1$ 정상 예측치의 백분율(r=0.28, p<0.05)이었다. IHCA후 감소한 $FEV_1$ 백분율 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%로 계산한 민감도는 각각 80%, 76%, 69%, 52%, 43%이었고, 특이도는 각각 92%, 96%, 96%, 96%, 99%이었으며, 정확도는 각각 87%, 88%, 85%, 78%, 71%이었다. 결 론 : 다단계 등탄산 찬공기 과호흡법은 천식환지에서 민감도는 낮으나 높은 특이도를 갖으므로 선별검사보다는 특이검사로 이용하여야 하고, 검사 방법에 대한 기준과 그 방법에 따른 결정치에 대해 연구가 있어야 할 것이다.
