Transmission congestion is one of the Key factors to local market power in competitive electricity markets. Withholding is a one of the methods exercise the market power. This paper presents an alternative methodology in market power under transmission congestion and withholding. The proposed methodology was demonstrated with the Optimal Power Flow(OPF). Case study is fulfilled by GAMS simulation.

The Purpose of this study is to analyze the health behavior of high school students and to find factors influencing it. A questionnaire survey was used for collecting data from 201 male students between May 1 and June 30, 1993. The data were analyzed by the multiple regression technique in an SPSS package. The major results are as follows: (1) 84.5% of the students responded to the survey are regularly exercising to promote their health and 44.8% of them are doing something to manage stress. (2) 28.9% of the students are smoking, 43.3% of them are drinking, 5% of them are taking adhesives, 6.5% are taking stimulants, and 4.5% of them are taking analgesics. (3) while self-efficacy of the students and health interests of their parents are positively related to health promoting behaviors, they are negatively related to health risk behaviors.

Whatever a surgeon choose aortic prosthesis in aortic stenosis, it will always provoke some degree of obstruction to flow due to its smaller effective orifice area to tissue annulus. Occasionally, we meet small aortic annulus to his or her body surface area in aortic valve replacement. The small annulus remains a problem in that both tissue and mechanical prosthesis have significant pressure gradients between LV and aorta in resting or exercising states. In these circumstances, diverse surgical procedures, such as tilting disc prosthesis, supraannular position of aortic prosthesis, and enlargement of aortic root [including aortoventriculoplasty, translocation of aortic valve, & double outlet of LV by valved conduit], were applied. We experienced one case of aortic stenosis with small aortic annulus. Systolic pressure gradients between LV & aorta were 90 mmHg. Diameter of annulus was 19 mm. So we performed patch enlargement of aortic root by Manouguian and AVR with St. Jude medical valve 23 mm.

Due to damaged vertebrae nerves, serious disease and aging, patients who have to lie down for long period of time need to exercise to maintain up-right standing position and recover their paralytic leg. This study describes a development of an intellectual tilt table which can provide a patient with rehabilitating condition. This can be possible by measuring and displaying the hee bent angle and pressure for each foot during exercise in real time. It is expected that the patient's exercising effect can increase by monitoring these two values during exercise.

This paper summarized the results of previous and recent studies on cumulative trauma disorders (CTD) and provides a prevention strategy for CTD and showed the results from a quite extensive survey with tables and figures. This is a follow-up study of Kwon (1993) 〔2〕. From the previous studies, Kwon (1993) showed that many people are exposed on CTD, but they did not only know the clear reasons why they got CTD, but also how to prevent or change their workstation〔2〕. Lee (1996) showed the result from both field survey and medical examination. He found that most frequent symptoms are CTS (nerve disorders) and tendon disorders 〔6〕. From these previous results, it is obvious that CTD patients will increase in Korean industries if we did not pay attention to this CTD problem. Therefore a proper education of Ergonomics, CTD prevention for workers and moderate changes in workplace are necessary. From 1998 and 1999 follow-up studies, there are still many people(23％) did not hear about CTD, CTS, or MSD. Only 42％ of respondents is exercising during or after work for short-time. Therefore, there are many rooms for prevention strategy of CTD and education for preventing CTD.

Purpose - By suggesting relational distance between supervisor and subordinate, this study examines the boundary condition of the impact of transformational leadership and organizational commitment in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - We collected survey data from employees in various industries in Korea. A total of 241 employees participated in this study. We conducted the hierarchical linear regression and confirmed moderating effects of relational distances (democratic, structural and affective distance) on the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. Result - The results from 241 Korean employees show that transformational leadership is positively related to organizational commitment. Further, this relationship was moderated by structural distance and affective distance between supervisor and subordinate. Conclusion - This study shed new light on how exercising transformational leadership can help raise employees' organizational commitment. Organizations should be concerned about the various relational distance between supervisor and subordinate.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a technical writing model suitable for engineering students based on the practice of technical writing using the patent application form for engineering students. The Dick & Carey model was used to design the teaching of technical writing using the patent application form. In particular, the instructor communicates with the learner and instructs the learner to produce and express students' own ideas. Instruction design in technical writing progresses consists of four steps, such as creating ideas by brainstorming, comprising contents, exercising writing, and feedback. Feedback occurs between an instructor and a learner and also does among students. As writing is proceeding step by step, instruction design for technical writing should come forth with specific methods to make students practice writing in work. Following these steps will help engineering school students to make up new products after graduating university.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment using Yin-yang Balancing Therapy of TMJ (YBT) on correcting posture. Methods: During the admission period, the patient was treated by Korean medical treatment (YBT, acupuncture, herb medicine, etc) every each day. The standard intraoral balancing appliance was used in patient while sleeping and exercising. Results: After treatment for 35th, the angle changed from 23 degrees to 0 degree. The posture of the neck and shoulder became straight. The distorted facial midline was aligned straight. Conclusions: These results showed that YBT have an effect on correcting posture.

In this paper, we planned to see the positive effects of the immersive virtual environment. In particular, the positive effect of presence on physical performance was explored. A total of 25 participants were recruited for this experiment and his/her physical performance was measured by Electromyography (EMG) while they were exercising (rowing), and presence was measured by a self-reported measure. The participants were randomly assigned to experience either a) Virtual Reality (VR) or b) non-VR (2D screen) condition when they played the exergame. The result showed that 1) there was a positive relationship between representation mode and presence and 2) the higher level of presence reinforced the user's physical performance. The limitation of the study and future study were also discussed.

The vibration analysis of armchair, zigzag and chiral double-walled carbon nanotubes has been developed by inserting the nonlocal theory of elasticity into thin shell theory. First Donnell shell theory is employed while exercising wave propagation approach. Scale effects are realized by using different values of nonlocal parameters under certain boundary conditions. The natural frequencies have been investigated and displayed for various non-local parameters. It is noticed that on increasing nonlocal parameter, the frequency curve tends to decrease. The frequency estimates of clamped-free boundary condition are less than those of clamped-clamped and simply supported computations. The frequency comparisons are presented for armchair, zigzag and chiral nanotubes. The software MATLAB is used to extract the frequencies of double walled carbon nanotubes.
