Purposes: The purpose of this study was to identify recent trends of experimental research by analyzing doctoral dissertations in all colleges of nursing in Korea. Methods: The areas of research, the content, methodological and intervention characteristics used in this study were explored in experimental research on doctoral dissertations (n=132) published from 2006 to 2010. Results: In the issues of research, practice/clinical issues were most frequently used. As to outcome measurement, physiological variables increased more than psychological/emotional variables. Most theory applied in the research was taken from other disciplines, and nursing theory was only Roy's adaptation theory. A large majority of the research was quasi-experimental designs and the number of true-experimental designs was very low. In more than half of the dissertations, internal validity was not described, and the described external validity rate was very low. There were more single intervention programs than bundle ones and education/exercise programs were most frequently used as the source of intervention. Conclusion: Doctoral dissertations need to increase and encourage more high quality experimental research to expand nursing knowledge and to develop evidence based nursing practice.

Purpose: This study was done to understand elderly women within a community who have used lots of drugs. Method: Data was collected through in-depth interviews with four elderly women from April 2001 to February 2002. Data was analyzed by Giorgi's phenomenological method(2000). Results: The components in common with drug usage of elderly women were as follows: 'Awareness of the limitation of physical strength and uncertainty of life', 'Dread of a crisis situation occurring', 'Attachment and dependency on drugs', 'Expectation of a comfortable life and death', 'Prevention of family burden', and 'Pursuit of psychological comfort'. The general structure of experiences was as follows: causal factors were 'Awareness of uncertainty and limitation', 'dread of a crisis situation occurring' the results factor was 'Attachment and dependency on drugs' and the facilitating factors were 'Expectation of a comfortable life and death', 'Prevention of family burden', and 'Pursuit of psychological comfort'. The causal relation was cyclic. This structure showed a realistic adaptation pattern. Conclusion: This study contributed to provide fundamental data for nursing interventions for health promotion and promoting quality of life in elderly women by increasing understanding of the experiences of drugs use.

In this paper, stability and transparency analysis for client/server haptic-based networked virtual environment (NVE) is introduced. From this analysis the appropriate communication structure for the more stable and transparent haptic interactions can be derived. Also, it is possible to expect and compensate the quality deterioration of haptic interactions according to certain network conditions In order to verify the usefulness of the analysis, simple haptic-based NVE application is implemented. For the stability verification, the vibration or strange movement of haptic interface and virtual object are measured under various network states. In addition, the usefulness of the proposed transparency analysis and network delay compensation scheme is verified by comparing distorted and compensated force feedbacks with real force feedback.

퍼지 논리를 기반으로 한 적응형 스트리밍 기법인 FDASH 적응 알고리즘은 빠르게 변하는 네트워크 상황에서 우수한 콘텐츠의 화질을 보장하면서 끊김 없는 서비스를 제공하는 특성을 보이지만 비디오의 화질이 자주 변하기 때문에 최고의 사용자 체감 품질 (QoE: Quality of Experience)을 제공하지 못 할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 버퍼 크기를 가지고 동일한 콘텐츠의 화질을 보장하면서도 비디오 화질의 변화 횟수를 줄여서 최적의 QoE를 제공할 수 있도록 하는 변환된 퍼지 논리 기반의 DASH 적응 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방식은 우선 퍼지 논리 제어부(FLC : Fuzzy Logic Controller)의 수정을 통하여 다음 세그먼트의 비트율에 대해 최적의 판단을 하도록 하였고, 세그먼트 비트율 필터링 모듈 (SBFM: Segment Bitrate Filtering Module)을 추가하여 비디오 화질의 변화 횟수가 최소화 될 수 있도록 하였으며, 스트리밍 서비스 시작 시 SBFM에 의해 일정시간 저화질의 비디오를 시청해야 하는 상황을 막기 위한 Start Mechanism을 추가하였고, 마지막으로 버퍼의 오버플로우를 방지하기 위해 Sleeping Mechanism을 추가하였다. NS-3를 이용한 네트워크 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안된 방식이 FDASH 방식에 비하여 제한된 버퍼크기 상황 하에서도 오버플로우가 발생하지 않으며 점대점(Point to Point) 상황에서는 거의 동일 화질 성능을 보이면서도 비디오 화질 변화 횟수를 50% 이상 줄일 수 있음과 일반 Wifi환경에서는 오히려 17.8%정도 더 뛰어난 비디오 화질 성능을 보이면서 비디오 화질변화 횟수 측면에서는 53.1%정도 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다.

When English disyllabic words are borrowed into the Korean language, the loanwords tend to have extra syllables. The purpose of this paper is to find the syllable increase conditions in loanword adaptation and further to provide an algorithm to predict the syllable numbers of English disyllabic loanwords. There are three syllable augmentation conditions. The presence of diphthongs and the existence of consonant clusters guarantee the increase of the syllable numbers in the English loanwords. Further, the quality of the final consonant (and the preceding vowel) sometimes trigger the increase of the syllable numbers. Based on the conditions, an algorithm composed of 4 rules are proposed in order to predict the number of syllables in English disyllabic loanwords.

Domestic ruminant animals are reared in diverse production systems, ranging from extensive systems under semi-arid and tropical conditions with poor feed resources to intensive systems in temperate and cold areas with high quality feed. Nitrogen (N) recycling between the body and gut of ruminants plays a key role in the adaptation to such diverse nutritional conditions. Ammonia and microbial protein produced in the gut and urea synthesized in the liver are major players in N-recycling transactions. In this review, we focus on the physiological factors affecting urea production and recycling. Sheep and buffalo probably have higher abilities to reabsorb urea from the kidney compared with cattle. This affects the degree of urea-N recycling between the body and gut at both low and high N intakes. The synthesis and gut entry of urea also differs between cattle bred for either dairy or beef production. Lactating dairy cows show a higher gut entry of urea compared with growing cattle. The synthesis and recycling of urea dramatically increases after weaning, so that the functional development of the rumen exerts an essential role in N transactions. Furthermore, high ambient temperature increases urea production but reduces urea gut entry. An increase in total urea flux, caused by the return to the ornithine cycle from the gut entry, is considered to serve as a labile N pool in the whole body to permit metabolic plasticity under a variety of physiological, environmental and nutritional conditions.

Preservation methods on the physiological and brewing technical characters in bottom and top brewing yeast strains were investigated. The preserved yeasts were reactivated after 24 months storage and grown up to stationary phase. The samples of filter paper storage indicated a higher cell growth and viability during propagation than those of nitrogen and lyophilization storage independent on propagation temperature. In addition, the filter paper storage demonstrated a faster absorption of free amino nitrogen and a highest level of higher aliphatic alcohols production during propagation than other preservation methods, which can be attributed to intensive cell growth during propagation. Moreover, the filter paper storage showed a faster accumulation for glycogen and trehalose during propagation, whereas, in particular, lyophilization storage noted a longer adaptation time regarding synthesis of glycogen and trehalose with delayed cell growth. In beer analysis, the filter paper storage formed an increased higher aliphatic alcohols than control. In conclusion, the preservation of filter paper affected positively on yeast growth, viability and beer quality independent on propagation temperature. In addition, in this study, it was obtained that the HICF and Helm-test can be involved as rapid methods for determination of flocculation capacity.

In a divorced family, child-centered custody evaluation is essential to ensure the child's best interests and healthy adaptation. A mental health professional's role and involvement are required in gaining an in-depth understanding of various environments and dynamics surrounding the child and family. Domestic violence, including child abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV) or parental alienation syndrome (PAS), is often observed in cases of custody evaluation in high-conflict divorced families, sometimes accompanied by allegations. Such cases warrant an extremely careful approach by the evaluator, who needs to be competent in interpreting the familial dynamics based on a reasonable context understanding. Genuine professionalism is a must for a custody evaluator to best help the child and carry out a high-quality custody evaluation process, and evaluators need to be ready for this task through adequate preparation and empowerment. This article is devoted to examining custody evaluation in divorced families in cases of IPV, child abuse, and PAS.
