  • This article is concerned with the overview of activated carbons as electrode materials in electric double-layer capacitors. Firstly, this article introduced various types of activated carbons with their precursors and manufacturing conditions which can be divided into two main steps of the carbonization and activation processes. Secondly, the present article gave the detailed discussion about the porous structures and examined previous works on the electrochemical behaviors of activated carbons in relation to their porous structures, along with our recent works. Finally, this article characterized the surface oxygen functional groups and presented their influence on the electrochemical properties of activated carbons by reviewing our recent results.

  • The input-output relation for nonlinear systems can be explicitly represented by the Voltera functional series and it is characterized by the Volterra Kernels. A block diagram reduction method is introduced to determine the Volterra Kernels for the nonlinear systems represented by nonlinear differential equations. Degree of nonlinearity is defined and analyzed for the analysis of nonlinear systems.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between PBS scores and GMFCS levels and to examine whether pediatric balance scale (PBS) scores were useful for predicting gross motor functional classification system (GMFCS) levels in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed conducted for to evaluatione of PBS and GMFCS using in 26 children with cerebral palsy (16 males and 10 females with GMFCS level I to III). PBS total and item scores at different levels of GMFCS were measured. Results: The hHigh PBS item average scores obtained from standing and postural change dimensions except sitting dimension were observed at the low levels of GMFCS and these results were statistically significant (p<0.05). The relation between PBS (standing and postural change dimensions) and GMFCS levels were was significantly different, except the relation between PBS sitting dimension and GMFCS levels showing a ceiling effect. Conclusion: GMFCS is designed to for classificationy of gross motor functions emphasizing on walking movement and PBS is was developed to for evaluatione of functional balance. Based on the results of this study showing high relation between GMFCS levels and PBS scores, PBS scores can be used for predicting GMFCS levels.

  • Although the functional ingredient has been evaluated by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) based on scientific evidence, the levels of scientific evidence and consistency of the results might vary according to emerging data. Therefore, periodic re-evaluation may be needed for some functional ingredients. In this study, we re-evaluated scientific evidence for the antioxidant activity of coenzyme Q10 as a functional ingredient in health functional food. Literature searches were conducted using the Medline and Cochrane, KISS, and IBIDS databases for the years 1955-2010 with the search term of coenzyme Q10 in combination with antioxidant. The search was limited to human studies published in Korean, English, and Japanese. Using the KFDA's evidence based evaluation system for scientific evaluation of health claims, 33 human studies were identified and reviewed in order to evaluate the strength of the evidence supporting a relation between coenzyme Q10 and antioxidant activity. Among 33 studies, significant effects for antioxidant activities were reported in 22 studies and their daily intake amount was 60 to 300 mg. Based on this systematic review, we concluded that there was possible evidence to support a relation between coenzyme Q10 intake and antioxidant activities. However, because inconsistent results have recently been reported, future studies should be monitored.

The Bibliographical Study on the Relativity of Lung and Jo (Dryness; 燥) in Oriental Medicine (동의학(東醫學)에서 폐(肺)와 조(燥)의 상관성(相關性)에 대(對)한 문헌적(文獻的) 고찰(考察))

  • Yuk Gi (六氣) in oriental medicine have influence on the body and, the body which adapt itself to the change of Yuk Gi, can maintain the activity of life, so five vital organs of the body have relation to Yuk Gi. The relation between Lung and Jo (燥) is well described from Whang Jae Nai Kyung (黃帝內經), the oldest book in oriental medicine, to the old books of Chung (淸) dynasty and modern documents. By the way, when autumn has come and the environment become dry, clear and mild ability of lung is losed. It's because dryness evil (燥邪) occured the trouble of Lung. The following results were obtained according to these facts which is considreed peviodically and bibliographically. 1. According to flourishing the functional activities of dryness (燥氣), as reducing the functional activities of water (水氣) of upper portion of the body cavity (上焦), Kidny Water (腎水) is not nutrited and Fire-Heat (火熱) is activiting, which is evoking the disease of Lung. 2. In the disease of Lung, there are many diseases because of dryness evil (燥邪), thinking that, which methods of treatment are the principal one of 'Clear up the lung and moisten dryness (淸肺潤煥)'. I found that Lung and Jo (燥) have the relation of intimacy. 3. Creating the vital essence of the kidney (腎水) to the functional activities of the lung (肺氣) is in prosperous condition, the functional activities of fire (火氣) stabilize the function of Lung become normal condition which wear said in the literary.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide methods for assessment of functional balance through study of correlation with the weight bearing ratio, functional balance, and functional gait on patients with stroke. Methods: Thirty-nine patients with stroke participated in this study. The timed up and go test was used to measure balance and the functional ambulation category test to measure functional gait. Weight bearing was measured in the quiet standing posture and weight bearing in the quiet standing posture immediately after performing the standing-task. Results: Both timed up and go test and functional ambulation category test showed significant correlation with balance in the quiet standing posture immediately after performing the standing task. Conclusion: Measurement of balance in the quiet standing posture immediately after performing the standing-task was considered a meaningful scale for measurement of both balance function and gait function of patients with stroke.
