Purpose: This study was to examine the effects of Dan Jeon Breathing on physical endurance, cognitive function, and depression in middle-aged women. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. Participants were 59 middle-aged women and randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. Dan Jeon Breathing was carried out for 40 minutes per day, 3 times per week for 12 weeks between March 1 and July 31, 2010. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed ranked test for paired data. Results: After Dan Jeon Breathing intervention, the scores of physical endurance and depression of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. However, the scores of cognitive function between two groups were not significantly different. Conclusion: The Dan Jeon Breathing can be utilized as a nursing intervention for physical endurance and depression in middle-aged women. Also, a revised model of Dan Jeon Breathing is needed to be examined for cognitive function.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the foundation and subsequent reconstruction years of Unsoo-sa Daeoong-jeon in Busan, especially based on the five records of this building. Moreover, this paper aims to analyze the possibility of the architectural type changes by comparison with nearby Buddhist buildings. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, Unsoo-sa Daeoong-jeon was built in 1655. Afterward, it had been repaired through five times, but most members of it's wood-framework were found to had been prepared and constructed in 1655. Second, such as the gongpo type, roof type, module system, intercolumnar distance and proportion of intercolumnar distance and column-height, the architectural type of this building is similar to nearby Sinhung-sa Daekwang-jeon. This was because the identical monk-craftsmen carried out the many constructions of nearby temples with their architectural skills at the same period. Third, in particular, the style and created-time of the front gongpos are different from those of the rear gongpos. That is why the front gongpos were replaced when Unsoo-sa Daeoong-jeon was reconstructed in 1771.

Comparing with the conventional transformer without the air gap, a contact-less transformer with the large air-gap (4.8cm) between the long primary winding and the secondary winding has the increased leakage inductance and the reduced magnetizing inductance. By the increased leakage inductance and the reduced magnetizing inductance on the primary of the contact-less transformer, a good deal of the primary current circulates through magnetizing inductance, which results in a massive loss in contact-less power supply (CPS). In this paper, the efficiency characteristics of the contact-less power supply using a series resonant converter is analyzed and simulated. The results are verified on the simulation based on the theoretical analysis and the 1.8kW experimental prototype.

Seonjeong-jeon, the semi-great hall in Changdeok Palace, was constructed in a highly formal and conservative style and accommodated official ceremonies. However, the contemporary modification of the building has distorted or eliminated features including the two side doors on the front, the floor coverings, and the throne base (Jwa-tap) that consisted the most significant part of the throne. Seonjeong-jeon originally had three doors that stood between each pair of columns on the front side, respectively. The courtiers accessed the building through the side doors, while the central door was exclusively designated for the king. However, the renovation in 1999 ignored the political context of the architectural form of the building and changed the side doors into windows, damaging the traditional structure inherited from the early Joseon Dynasty. Although the building currently has traditional wooden floor structure (Woomul-maru), it was originally covered with square brick tiles (Bang-jeon) before the Japanese occupation, following the customs of early Joseon Dynasty. The throne was placed to the north of the central door and consisted of the throne base and a decorative roof (Dang-ga). A canvas (Jang-ja), which featured the royal symbolic painting of Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks, was also installed between the two columns that connected the base and the roof. Nevertheless, only the columns and the blank canvas remain nowadays after the removal of the base.
