Purpose: This study was done to identify the relationship between physical exercise and quality of life in middle-aged adults. Method: The subjects of this study consisted of 251 mid-aged adults who lived in D city and N city. The instrument for this study was exercise performance scale by Kim and QOL scale by Ro. Data were collected form February 20 to March 20. 2003. Result: 1. Among participants. 'good' exercise performance consisted $39.2\%$ and exercise involvement was $41\%$. 2. The quality of life showed positive significant correlation with the exercise performance(r=.21. p=.00). 3. Exercise performance was a predictor of quality of life and $8.3\%$ of the variance explained with exercise performance. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that further development and applying of exercise performance programs are recommended for quality of life of mid-aged adults. In addition. further research needs to be done to identify relationship with these factors for various age group.

This paper deals with the CMOS PLA Generator using CHISEL language. The program which plots a CMOS PLA alphanumeric layout automatically according to desired input functions and output functions has been developed. The program consists of procedures. These procedure are drawing a stick diagram with input data, converting any design rule, plotting a physical layout at IBM PC-AT with CIF input data. Physical layout information of dynamic CMOS PLA is stored CIF form. The CMOS PLA Generator is written in CHISEL which is layout language VLSI design tools and run on a VAX11/750 running UNIX.

Lactic acid production parameter optimization using Lactobacillus amylovorus NRRL B-4542 was performed using the design of experiments (DOE) available in the form of an orthogonal array and a software for automatic design and analysis of the experiments, both based on Taguchi protocol. Optimal levels of physical parameters and key media components namely temperature, pH, inoculum size, moisture, yeast extract, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, Tween 80, and corn steep liquor (CSL) were determined. Among the physical parameters, temperature contributed higher influence, and among media components, yeast extract, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, and Tween 80 played important roles in the conversion of starch to lactic acid. The expected yield of lactic acid under these optimal conditions was 95.80% and the actual yield at optimum conditions was 93.50%.

A study of the recovery of tin and nickel from steel ball scraps for barrel plating was carried out through a physical treatment, a leaching treatment, hydrogen reduction and an electrolysis experiment. The recovery of the iron component was over 95% by the physical treatment. We obtained tin oxide in the form of metastannic acid ($SnO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$) with impurities of less than 5% from the leaching treatment. We also recovered the high-purity metallurgical tin at a rate that exceeded 99.9% by the electrolysis of crude tin obtained from the hydrogen reduction of metastannic acid.

The problem of scalar wave scattering by a sphere on or near a planar substrate is analytically solved. The solution is a set of wave functions coming in the form of infinite series of spherical and plane waves. In air, the incident plane wave is either scattered by the sphere or reflected from the substrate. A part of these scattered or reflected waves propagate to the other object where it is reflected and scattered again. Such processes of scattering and reflection repeat in turn indefinitely to generate multiply scattered waves, which are represented in the corresponding terms in the infinite series. The term in the series can be arranged in a recognizable manner to explicitly reveal the involved process and the multiplicity of scattering.

Since immemorial time Panax ginseng has been known as therapeutic, tonic, prophylactic and restorative agent in ancient Korea, China and Tibet and at present time is also used as a food supplement by Western societies (6). Various ginseng preparations in a form of powders, teas, tinctures or extracts, very often mixed with other substances are recommended for attenuation of degenerative processes caused by aging or fatigue, as well as for treatment of various disorders and diseases in several organs (e.g. circulatory and nervous system, liver, kidney). One of the most commonly known properties of ginseng is its possibly positive influence on physical and mental performance and general well being. Because of these adaptogenic properties promoting vitality and resistance to stress ginseng is considered as an ergogenic aid. During almost 40 years in many laboratories attempts have been made to find out whether ginseng can be 'a remedy for today's problems'. The present work is focused on the results obtained in human studies and concerning an influence of ginseng root extracts on exercise and mental performance.

In the present investigation, we have studied the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat transfer of peristaltic flow in a tube. The analysis is made without imposing any assumption to obtain the streamline and isothermal line directly. Galerkin's finite element method has been used on the governing Navier-Stoke's equation in the form of ${\psi}-{\omega}$. The graphs of the computed longitudinal velocity, temperature and pressure are plotted against different value of the emerging parameter by using the stream function and vorticity. The results are valid beyond the long wavelength and the low Reynolds number limits. We conclude that higher values of the parameters are not independent of the time mean flow rate.

This paper studies the effect of the relaxation time on a two-dimensional thermoelastic medium which has a doubly porous structure in the presence of diffusion and gravity. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the analytic expressions of the physical quantities, which we take the solution form in the exponential image. We have discussed a homogeneous thermoelastic half-space with double porosity with the effect of diffusion and gravity. The equations of generalized thermoelastic material with double porosity structure with one relaxation time have been developed. Moreover, the expressions of many physical quantities are explained. The general solutions, under specific boundary conditions of the problem, were found in some detail. In addition, numerical results are computed.

Physical and chemical factors can cause traditional timber constructions to lose structural integrity. Knowing the dynamic properties of the building components is vital to avoid damage to the buildings from dynamic effects, a subset of physical effects. In this work, spruce and scotch pine wooden beams that had been strengthened in three distinct ways with carbon fiber strengthened polymer (CFRP) were investigated for changes in their dynamic properties. For this, CFRP was used to strengthening unstrengthened wooden beams in the form of bottom confinement, U-shaped confinement, and full confinement after the dynamic parameters of the beams were determined. By using experimental modal analysis with both free-free and fixed-fixed boundary conditions, the beams'initial natural frequencies were identified.

Nanotechnology, the science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale, offers remarkable opportunities for innovation across various fields. Nanomaterials, which form the cornerstone of advanced materials, drive forward new ideas and groundbreaking applications. In the textile industry, traditional antibacterial and antifungal garments are typically treated with chemical compounds to inhibit bacterial growth. However, these treatments often lack durability, losing effectiveness after multiple washes. To address this limitation, the application of green nanotechnology in developing high-performance textiles emerges as a promising solution. This study explores the integration of nanocomposites into the polymer layers of footballs to enhance their stability and performance. By embedding nanoparticles within the polymer matrix, the durability and resilience of the footballs are significantly improved, leading to better control and performance on the field. This innovative approach not only extends the lifespan of the footballs but also provides economic advantages by reducing the frequency of replacements. Additionally, the enhanced stability contributes to a more consistent and reliable playing experience, promoting improved safety and performance for athletes.
