Basic design concept of the future steel structure requires environmental compatibility and maintenance free capability to minimize economic burdens. Recent trends in alloy design for advanced weathering steel include addition of various alloying elements which can enhance formation of stable and protective rust layer even in polluted urban and/or high $Cl^{-}$ environment. The effects of Ca, Ni, W, and Mo addition on the corrosion property of Ca-modified weathering steel were evaluated through a series of electrochemical tests (pH measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy: EIS) and structural analysis on rust layer formed on the steel surface. Ca-containing inclusions of Ca-Al-Mn-O-S compound are formed if the amount of Ca addition is over 25 ppm. Steels with higher Ca content results in higher pH value for condensed water film formed on the steel surface, however, addition of Ni, W, and Mo does not affect pH value of the thin water film. The steels containing a high amount of Ca, Ni, W and Mo showed a dense and compact rust layer with enhanced amount of ${\alpha}-FeOOH$. Addition of Ni, W and Mo in Ca-modified weathering steel shows anion-selectivity and contributes to lower the permeability of $Cl^{-}$ ions. Effect of each alloying element on the formation of protective rust layer will be discussed in detail with respect to corrosion resistance.

The objective of study is to propose theoretical basis for applying planning elements to Environment-friendly Public Land Development in integrated perspective of 'eco' and 'health'. For this purpose, First, the definition of 'Environment-friendly Public Development' and the interrelation between 'eco' and 'heath' as the component element of it are proposed. Secondly, based on internal and external case studies, eco and health related planning elements are deprived. And to assess the planning elements efficiently, representative planning elements are selected by each content. Thirdly, based on the analysis of specialist question, how the selected planning elements contribute to the improvement of human health and ecosystem is assessed. The result of study could be useful to reflect the regional condition and to predict the effect of the application.

Purpose: Competency is a key foundation of the nursing education curriculum and a baseline element of nursing practice. The purpose of this study was to explore the competencies of community health nurses in a maternal early childhood sustained home-visiting program based on nurses' field experiences. Methods: The participants were 21 nurses who had more than 1 year of experience in this program. Reflective interviews were performed; lasting 1 hour per nurse, on August 18, 2016, and the collected data were analyzed using qualitative directed content analysis. Results: Twenty-four themes were extracted for 9 competencies. The major themes included implementing a long-term relationship-based approach, providing client-led service rather than expert-led service, helping mothers with psychosocial difficulties, and applying skills in a practical manner in the home environment. Conclusion: In order to develop a home-visiting program as part of maternal-early childhood nursing practice, nurses should develop competencies that help them make significant and positive interventions. Results indicate that the curriculum for community health nurses should be changed to improve competencies in building relationships with clients and to focus on the application of skills in specific cases and in clinical practice.

A drug infuser is a well-known device that is widely used in various areas of clinical practice. However, some materials used in the drug infuser have been developed for particular purposes and thus, their design characteristics have to be changed considerably. Especially, the implications of a new filler in the drug infuser have migrated to the areas of body corrections in plastic surgery. In this study, the design process of a drug infuser managing a large content volume has been studied from the perspective of structure safety. A new design of the drug infuser that uses a 10 cc filler with high viscosity is presented. Finite element analysis is used to confirm that the assembled drug infuser is safe enough to hold the required loading of 490 N. Furthermore, the final prototype of the drug infuser was successful in reducing the weight up to 400 g without compromising the safety.

The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chlormethyl styrene - 1,4 - divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1%, 3%, and 5%-crosslinking and macro cyclic ligand of OenNen-$H_4$ by copolymerization method and the adsorption characteristics of uranium(VI), iron(II) and samarium(III) metallic ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, and IR-spectrum. The effects of pH, time, dielectric constant of solvent and crosslink on adsorption of metallic ions were investigated. The uranium ion was showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 3. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in ethanol was in increasing order uranium ${UO_2}^{2+}>Fe^{2+}>Sm^{3+}$ ion. The adsorption was in order of 1%, 3%, and 5% crosslink resin and adsorption of resin decreased in proportion to order of dielectric constant of solvent.

Purpose The development of the Fintech industry can be on the basis of the development in IT technologies such as Big data, IoT, cloud computing, it can be considered that the financial industry is repeating the evolution into Fintech. But the awareness of the consumers is still very low. Therefore the current dissertation, tries to deduce the suggestions for invigoration measures for Fintech by conducting an empirical study on the factors that influence the intention of reuse of Fintech on the consumer's point of view. Design/methodology/approach This study made a design of the research model by integrating the factors deducted from the Expectation Confirmation Theory. This paper empirically analyzes the impact of Continuous Usage Intention for Improvement of Fintech. The 302 survey responses were used to verify research hypotheses through covariate structural equation model. Findings According to the empirical analysis result, this study confirmed that the ultimate purpose of the Fintech service is to eliminate the social cost's waste element occurring from issue of money by not using or reducing the usage of cash. Since many Fintech users have pointed out security as the priority task, a direction for the related institutions has been proposed. Second, the content of the current dissertation will be the opportunity of broadening the perception of the current consumers that perceive Fintech as only a NFC simple payment service.

Numerical and experimental studies were conducted on the temperature distribution of a buried steel pipe and surrounding granite frozen soils in the closed system. The relationship between unfrozen water content and temperatures was analysed by laboratory test. The thermal conductivity measurements were made to compare the results with a formula presented by Lachenbruch. A steel container model that consists of a freezing chamber and a buried circular steel pipe was built for the laboratory temperature measurements. The time temperature records were measured experimentally, and those records were compared with numerical results obtained from FEM analysis in order to verify the feasibility. The latent heat effect on the granite frozen soils in the numerical study was considered.
