  • This study was performed to investigate main psychological phenomena and healing process through qualitative analysis on the 115 handwriting healing experience in the forest. Main psychological phenomena experienced in the forest were important in order happiness, comfort, and understanding. The process of healing in the forest was first characterized by emotional changes, and was led to cognitive changes and behavioral changes. Healing stage of the forest has followed with six steps of stimulus, accommodating, purification, insight, filling, and change. This process was associated with nature sympathetic, rapport with oneself, and with the world. Previous studies, which were focused on the measurement of transient state after the comparative study between control and experimental groups, could not verify the continuity and process of psychological healing. this study suggests a new approach to understand the subjective psychological phenomena and healing processes in the forest, and will be a basis for developing and performing of forest healing program.

  • The energy makes the basic element which improves the quality of life with motive power of industry and life. However, using the fossil fuel resources was restricted through it's abuse and exhaustion, and that cause a global warming resultingly. According to the reason, the world increased the interest that are stability and use of new and renewable energy which is clean energy with environment. Therefore, the property data of new and renewable is needed for developing and supplying the energy. In other words, the data of new and renewable energy becomes the standards for supply and evaluation of new and renewable energy with development of industry and technology. Also, the necessity came to the fore as the reference and standards of new and renewable energy data. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate and collect the solar radiation data as the new and renewable data and process the collected data through the standards for valuation. We evaluate uncertainty with standards which are NREL, WMO, and GUM. Whereby the data becomes reference standards data and gains the credibility. For the reliability data, we correct the measuring instrument with correction period. Using the DQMS and SERI QC, we efficiently manage and evaluate the solar radiation data. As a result, we evaluate uncertainty as 1,120 case about 16 area. we achieve credibility of data from evaluated solar radiation data and provide an accurate information to user. The annual average of horizontal radiation presents between 1,484 and 4,577, then the uncertainty evaluates from 163 to 453. The error of uncertainty presents smaller than the measurement values. So, we judge a credibility of data by expression of reliability quantitatively. In additional, the reference standards data which is possible to approach anywhere will be used for the supporting related industry and policy making.

  • Gate-controlled spin-orbit interaction parameter is a key factor for developing spin-Field Effect Transistor (Spin-FET) in a quantum well structure because the strength of the spin-orbit interaction parameter decides the spin precession angle [1]. Many researches show the control of spin-orbit interaction parameter in n-type quantum channels, however, for the complementary logic device p-type quantum channel should be also necessary. We have calculated the spin-orbit interaction parameter and the effective mass using the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation measurement in a GaSb two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) structure as shown in Fig 1. The inset illustrates the device geometry. The spin-orbit interaction parameter of $1.71{\times}10^{11}$ eVm and effective mass of 0.98 $m^0$ are obtained at T=1.8 K, respectively. Fig. 2 shows the gate dependence of the spin-orbit interaction parameter and the hole concentration at 1.8 K, which indicates the spin-orbit interaction parameter increases with the carrier concentration in p-type channel. On the order hand, opposite gate dependence was found in n-type channel [1,2]. Therefore, the combined device of p- and n-type channel spin transistor would be a good candidate for the complimentary logic device.

  • In globalization and information-oriented society, the domestic construction companies are competing with others in domestic and overseas market. To survive in the age of limitless competition, companies have to manage their performance systematically. However, domestic small and medium-sized companies which are holding a large majority don't have their own Performance Management System(PMS) yet. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing PMS and to extract key drivers for developing PMS. Through case studies of KPI(UK), NBS(Chile), CII BM&M(USA) and SISIND-NET Project(Brazil), the key drivers are derived. Having these key drivers, this study suggested the conceptual model of PMS using benchmarking for small and medium-sized construction companies.

  • Objectives: Considering high prevalence of myopia in Asian countries, social cost paid for myopia may gradually increase in Korea. However, studies for developing myopia treatment are deficient. The study was to evaluate whether the periocular acupressure with a medical massager is effective for suppressing myopia progression. Methods: This study was an investigator-sponsored, prospective, open-labeled, and superiority pre and post single-armed study. 14 myopia children aged 7-12 years wore a medical massager for 15 minutes to stimulate periocular acupoints. For 24 weeks, the participants used the device twice a day. Based on prior studies, the refraction change of naturally proceeded myopia was set as -0.38 D. The axial length change of naturally proceeded myopia was set as 0.228 mm. To assess the safety, we performed vital sign check, physical examination, visual acuity test, slit lamp examination, IOP measurement, and fundus examination. Results: The refraction and axial length of the participants increased. For 24 weeks, the change in refraction was -0.38 D at the right eye and -0.40 D at the left. The change in axial length was 0.21 mm at the right and 0.22 mm at the left. In the safety assessment, any adverse event did not occur. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the control group and the intervention group. The effect of growth may have more contributed to our result than that of acupressure. Based on our result, a full-scale study will not be conducted.

  • Quality Assurance (QA) is essential to provide effective hyperthermia, but in the case of a problem with a hyperthermia cancer therapy system in Korea, the manufacturers or venders are repairing and maintaining the system. In Korea, if an error occurs in the hyperthermia system, the manufacturer and sales agent are repairing and maintaining it. There is no QA protocol suitable for the domestic situation. This study is based on the QA guidelines recommended by institutions such as European Society for Hyperthermia Oncology (ESHO), Hellenic Society of Oncologic Hyperthermia (HSOH), and the results of questionnaires to hospitals that have hyperthermia cancer therapy systems in Korea. By developing an optimized QA protocol, we aim to reduce the errors and inaccuracies that can occur in during hyperthermia such as measurement of temperature, instrumentation, and heat transfer. In addition, we will visit a hospital with a hyperthermia cancer therapy system in Korea to perform a QA based on this study, and study to specify tolerances and accurate QA set-up parameters using the measured QA results.

  • As massive integration technology of transistors has been developing, multi-core circuit is fabricated on a silicon chip and a clock frequency is getting faster to meet the system requirement. But increasing the clock frequency can induce some problems to violate the operation of system such as clock synchronization, so it is very import to avoid metastability events to design digital chips. In this paper, metastability windows are measured by bisection method in H-spice depending on temperature, supply voltage, and the size of transmission gate with D-FF designed with 180nm CMOS process. The simulation results show that the metastability window(: MW) is slightly increasing to temperature and supply voltage, but is quadratic to the area of a transmission gate, and the best area ration of P and Ntransitor in transmission gate is P/N=4/2 to get the least MW.

  • This study aims to compare the model power in developing corporate credit rating models and to suggest a good way to build models based on the characteristic of data. Among many measurement methods, AR is used to measure the model power under various conditions. SAS/MACRO is in use for similar repetitions to reduce time to build models under several combination of conditions. A corporate credit rating model is composed of two sub-models; a credit scoring model and a default prediction model. We verify that the latter performs better than the former under various conditions. From the result of size comparisons, models of large size corporate are more powerful and more meaningful in financial viewpoint than those of small size corporate. As a corporate size gets smaller, the gap between sub-models becomes huge and the effect of outliers becomes serious.
