Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine the relations among anxiety, knowledge, health locus of control and preventive behavior, and to find factors related with preventive behavior. Methods: The subjects were 269 elderly people of over 65 living in C City. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS. Results: Health promoting behavior was significantly different according to chronic disease, contact with H1N1 patient and perceived health status. The variables that affected the level of preventive behavior were anxiety, knowledge, internal locus of control, external locus of control, chance locus of control and perceived health status. Conclusion: According to this study, promoting preventive behavior for H1N1 on the elderly builds up anxiety, knowledge, and health locus of control.

Two different binocular cues are known for detecting motion in depth. One is disparity change in time and the other is inter-ocular velocity difference. Shioiri, Saisho and Yaguchi (1999) demon-strated that motion in depth can be seen based solely on inter-ocular velocity differences as well as on the disparity change in time. They used conditions in which either cue was minimized and measured performance based on motion in depth, finding better performance than chance level when either velocity cue or the disparity cue was almost isolated. However, there may have been influences from the cue minimized in each condition, since it was practically impossible to isolate perfectly either cue. I re-analyzed their data to examine whether the performance in the condition with disparity change and that in the condition with inter-ocular velocity difference were correlated. The result showed the correlation is very low and therefore, we can conclude that the visual system has two different mechanisms for motion in depth.

Surgery remains the standard treatment for resectable thoracic esophageal cancer but that is justified only when acceptably low morbidity and mortality rates can be achieved even for advanced disease. The appropriate extent of resection to achieve the best outcome is the most controversial aspect of treating esopahgeal cancer and the optimal excent of lymphadenectomy also remains controversial. Until data from prospective randomized trials showing a clear benefit using a particular approach are available, surgeons should perform their better judgement in individualizing and selecting the most appropriate surgical approach to provide the best chance of cure or lasting palliation for this disease that challanges both patient and surgeon. Further studies are necessary to examine the utility and efficacy of each approach in treating thoracic esophageal cancer either alone or in combination with other modalities.

In a beacon-enabled Zigbee network, the slotted CSMA/CA mechanism based on the super frame structure fairly provides communication chance for each node and makes a reasonable usage of the available energy. In the case of wireless nano sensors that are implanted into the target human body area for detecting disease symptoms or virus, such a nano-network requires a similar type of channel sharing and transmission of short length event-driven data. In this paper, for nano-network's in-body applications, we aim to design conceptually a new super frame derived from the existing beacon-enabled Zigbee MAC protocol. And we analyze the efficiency of the proposed super frame in the aspect of practical deployment.

The heterogeneous emergency communication radios is used at disaster management agencies of Korea to response activity in the event of disaster. The compensation method by communication connection time difference is necessary to seamless voice communication because radios have different communication method and delay. In this paper, we suggested solution for voice transmission chance and data loss problem.

Purpose: Lead has been widely used in radiation shielding for its low price and high workability. Recently in several europe countries, use of lead was banned for environmental issues. Also lead can cause health problems like alergies. Alternative materials for lead are highly required. The purpose of this study was to propose lead free radiation shielding material. Methods: Research of radiation shielding in Korea is not easy for certain limits such as radiation materials, experimental facilities and places. The collected data through the research were simulated using MCNPX. The simulation tools used for this study were utilized Monte Carlo method. Results: we suggest new design of lead free radiation shielding material using MCNPX code comparing shielding performance of new composite materials to lead. Conclusion: This newly introduced nano-scale composite of metal and polymer makes new chance for highly lightened radiation protective garments with endurable shielding performance.

We present 12CO ($J=1{\rightarrow}0$) observations of a set of local galaxies (0.04 < z < 0.08) with a large cool gas reservoir, dubbed "HI Monsters". The data were obtained using the Redshift Search Receiver (RSR) on the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (FCRAO) 14 m telescope. The sample consists of 20 galaxies with $M_{HI}$ > $3{\times}10^{10}M_{\odot}$ identified by the ALFALFA survey and 8 additional objects with comparable HI mass from a separate LSB galaxy study ($M_{HI}$ > $1.5{\times}10^{10}M_{\odot}$). Our sample selection is purely based on the amount of neutral hydrogen in galaxies, thereby providing a chance to study how atomic and molecular gas relate to each other in these extremely HI-rich systems. We have detected CO in 15 out of 20 ALFALFA selected HI Monsters and 4 out of 8 LSB HI Monsters. We present the global molecular gas properties of the sample and discuss how their molecular gas properties correlate with their star formation activities.

Currently users are tend to use multimedia data types in their applications. Main features of multimedia data types are large amount of data compared to conventional data types. In this reason, it's hard to load data into main memory and to search. That is the cause of occur disk input and output frequently, and decrease the system performance. In this paper, we describe to have fast and efficient access to multimedia data using index technique. Index method presented by paper consists of two parts : one is index file part for keywords and the other is posting file part for the list of file names. Of course, we use keyword. But user is not charge of memory for the keywords. Users just use natural language to insert, delete and search data what he or she wants. Internally, System makes keywords from natural language to get access to multimedia data. It provides convenience to users. Using this study to develop one's application for multimedia, one may have a chance for advanced performance of a system and getting a result speedily.

Multiplex have many screen in one place and provide customer Multiple Entertainment Option. Today multiplex cinema is a new culture place for the public to approach most easily in Korea. It also gave a chance to recognize how important a popular culture place is. but it has a problem that this space wasn't designed for customer and don't have even a rest area for them as they focused only on economic growth. therefore, in this study, it point's the utilization of Service Areas problems and provide basic data of interior design for customer.

Purpose: This study was to identify the influencing factors of the compliance level to a therapeutic regimen after a bone mineral densitometry test. Method: The sample for the study was 95 people who took the bone mineral densitometry test from March, 2002 to July, 2002. Data was collected by mail using aself reporting questionnaire on the selected variables such as the compliance level, self efficacy, health locus of control, susceptibility, severity, usefulness, barrier, and self esteem. Results: The average compliance level was 63.93. Through multiple regression, three independent variables including chance health locus of control on personality, the result of bone mineral density and self-efficacy were entered in the model as the significant determinants of the compliance level after a bone mineral densitometry test. The coefficients of determination of each variable were 10.9%, 8.3% and 8.1% respectively. Conclusion: The identification of the determinants of the compliance level to the therapeutic regimen after bone mineral densitometry is expected to contribute to the development of an intervention program to improve the compliance level to the therapeutic regimen in osteoporosis patients.
