  • Objective Determine differences between faculty, residents, and nurses regarding night shift preparation, performance, recovery, and perception of emotional and physical health effects. Methods Survey study performed at an urban university medical center emergency department with an accredited residency program in emergency medicine. Results Forty-seven faculty, 37 residents, and 90 nurses completed the survey. There was no difference in use of physical sleep aids between groups, except nurses utilized blackout curtains more (69%) than residents (60%) and faculty (45%). Bedroom temperature preference was similar. The routine use of pharmacologic sleep aids differed: nurses and residents (both 38%) compared to faculty (13%). Residents routinely used melatonin more (79%) than did faculty (33%) and nurses (38%). Faculty preferred not to eat (45%), whereas residents (24%) preferred a full meal. The majority (>72%) in all groups drank coffee before their night shift and reported feeling tired despite their routine, with 4:00 a.m. as median nadir. Faculty reported a higher rate (41%) of falling asleep while driving compared to residents (14%) and nurses (32%), but the accident rate (3% to 6%) did not differ significantly. All had similar opinions regarding night shift-associated health effects. However, faculty reported lower level of satisfaction working night shifts, whereas nurses agreed less than the other groups regarding increased risk of drug and alcohol dependence. Conclusion Faculty, residents, and nurses shared many characteristics. Faculty tended to not use pharmacologic sleep aids, not eat before their shift, fall asleep at a higher rate while driving home, and enjoy night shift work less.

  • At orthodontic treatment, we have made every effort to get rigid anchorage which is not stirred when teeth move. As a result, the miniscrew that is rigid anchorage was invented recently, and now it is used widely. Concerning the advantage of miniscrew, it is reduced dependence of extraoral anchorage and it shortens treatment time for rapid tooth movement. In contrast, the defect of miniscrew is falling off it resulted from increasing of the mobility. So the purpose of this research is to be of help to prognose clinical use of miniscrew, which is inserted for intraoral anchorage, by investigating and comparing the failure rate of miniscrew for loading time. This study researches the failure rate of miniscrew for teeth movement at the orthodontic treatment. The failure rate of miniscrew in mid course, after inserting 147 miniscrews in 51 patients, is 13%(20/147). It showed no statistically significant differences as compared man with woman, maxilla with mandible, double-head with uni-head miniscrew, and drilling and non-drilling before inserting the miniscrew. In comparison below twenties with over twenties and the times that we give load to miniscrew, it produced that the failure rate of miniscrew is 9.7% higher in the case of below the twenties than over the twenties. Also, the failure rate of loading immediately is 10.8% higher than loading after 7 days. According to using driver for the insertion of miniscrew, the failure rate of miniscrew is higher in the case of using machined driver than in the case of using hand driver when the level of significance is 95%. According to the research, we can suppose that the failure rate has no concern with using miniscrew on man or woman, maxilla or mandible, the shape of head, and drilling or non-drilling before insertion of miniscrew. Therefore, we can choose eclectic miniscrew as demands. In addition, we must notify the patient, below twenties, to be possibility of high failure rate. And It is strongly recommended to give load after $1{\sim}2$ weeks for healing of the insertion area.

  • This research aim is to investigate the rate and pattern of re-using the four-digit personal identification numbers(PINs). 1313 types of PINs were observed by 224 students who took this author's classes from last 2006 to 2011 at A-university. Some students used PINs as few as 3-4 and as many as 12-13. The average is 5.86 per person. The rates of re-using PINs were calculated by each student. 87%(195/224) of students reused PINs and 64% of them reused with just only one type of PINs, 20% reused with 2 types, and about 3% reused with 3-4 types. With respect to PINs, 884 out of the total 1313 PINs were reused, that is around 64.3%. In a broad sense, a pair of slight modification of PINs were also observed, that is, new PINs were partly matched in position or size of numbers of previous PINs. And if the reuse rate falling under the slight modification of PINs, 10.4% is added, about 75% of the PINs were reused in a broad sense. The re-using rate of male students is higher than the one of female students. This paper's results may provide to make plan for hacks of passwords.

  • Radiography should be used judiciously and should not delay patients resuscitation. In the patient with emergency multiple trauma, three radiography should be obtained-cervical spine, anteroposterior(AP) chest, and AP pelvis. These examinations can be done in the resuscitation area, usually with a portable X-ray unit, but should not interrupt the resuscitation process. A retrospective study was carried on 157 emergency multiple trauma patients who were admitted to Yong Dong Severance Hospital from January, to December in 1995. I analyzed the types of X-ray examinations in emergency multiple trauma patients, and classified the patients by disoriented group of mentality. The results were as follows: 1. The subjects were 7.1%(157patients) of 2,208 trauma patients(7.3%) in total 30,085 emergency patients. 2. Male to female ratio was 2.57 : 1. The age distribution was highest from 31 years to 40 years(28.0% ). 3. The peak time of patient's entrance in emergency center was between 8 : 00 pm and 2 : 00 am(36.9%), and second peak time was between 2 : 00 pm and 8 : 00 pm (29.3%). 4. According to the injury type, traffic accident, motorcycle accident and falling down were 71.3%, 8.3% and 20.4% respectively. 5. According to the exposure rate of Computed Tomography, chest CT, cervical CT pelvis CT and brain CT were 39.5%, 24.2%, 69.4% and 51.6% respectively.

  • A novel intravenous (IV) infusion monitoring sensor is presented to measure the drop rate in the drip chamber of an IV infusion set. It is based on a capacitive proximity sensor and detects the variation of the longitudinal electric field induced by the drop falling into the drip chamber. Unlike the conventional capacitor sensor with two semi-cylindrical conductor plates, the proximity sensor for IV monitoring is composed of a pair of conductor rings which are mounted on the outer surface of the drip chamber with a specific gap between them. The characteristics of the proximity sensor for IV monitoring were investigated through three dimensional electrostatic simulations. It showed quite superior performances in comparison with the conventional capacitor sensor. Especially, the proposed proximity sensor exhibits consistent sensitivity regardless of its mounting position on the drip chamber, operates normally though the drip chamber is tilted and shows robustness to the changes of the drop size and the drip factor of the IV infusion set. Thus, the proximity sensor for IV monitoring is more suitable for use in actual environment of IV therapy compared with the conventional capacitor sensor.

  • The present study was analytically and experimentally carried out to predict the absorption characteristics on combined heat and mass transfer process in a vertical falling film of variable absorbers. Heat and mass transfer enhancements were analytically investigated. Effects of geometric parameters by insert device (spring) and corrugate, flow pattern on absorption performances has been also investigated. Especially, the optimal values of absorber geometry (ID=22.8mm, L=1150m) and kinetic variables (solution flow rate, flow pattern) for maximum absorption performance has been predicted by the numerical analysis. The maximum absorption performance in a numerical analysis and experiment was shown at the wavy-flow by insert device (spring).

  • Sliced and whole root of rehmannia were dehydrated in a laboratory dryer at 40, 60, 80, and $100^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the kinetic parameters for dehydration of rehmannia. The drying curves of both samples were characterized by a falling-rate drying period only. Sliced rehmannia dried 1.1 to 3.1 times faster than whole root of rehmannia depending on drying temperature. Equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of rehmannia samples at the drying temperature tested were 0.069-0.078 g water/g dry solid, which was coincided with the monolayer moisture content (0.06 and 0.07 g water/g dry solid) evaluated from desorption isotherms using GAB (Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer) model. A logarithmic model for thin layer drying was applied to evaluate the drying time to reach EMC ($t_{EMC}$) and drying constant (k). The effect of temperature on $1/t_{EMC}$ and k was described by the Arrhenius model with activation energy values of 32.56 and 47.14 kJ/mol determined using the former parameter, and 34.27 and 38.26 kJ/mol determined using the latter parameter for sliced and whole root of rehmannia, respectively.
