The cross flow turbine attracts more and more attention for its relatively wide operating range and simple structure. In this study, a novel type of micro cross flow turbine is developed for application to a step in an irrigational channel. The head of the turbine is only H=4.3m and the turbine inlet channel is open ducted type, which has barely been studied. The efficiency of the turbine with inlet open duct channel is relatively low. Therefore, a guide nozzle on the turbine inlet is attached to improve the performance of the turbine. The guide nozzle shapes are investigated to find the best shape for the turbine. The guide nozzle plays an important role on directing flow at the runner entry, and it also decreases the negative torque loss by reducing the pressure difference in Region 1. There is 12.5% of efficiency improvement by attaching a well shaped guide nozzle on the turbine inlet.

The Buildings and facilities of municipal Councils of fundamental autonomous organization in various regions were made on the basis of its experiences in 1950s but lacked constructional sophistication and failed to comprehend their functions, resulting in several repairs and renovations after the dedications of the buildings. They also undermined the efficiencies of the worn and was a big drain on the budget of municipal councils. Furthermore, especially after the integration of rural and urban areas. Municipal councils in urban areas couldn't accommodate the increased staffs. Thereby, They used the established councils in the cities and countries and repaired and renovated other buildings of which were permitted as offices, decreasing the eligibility of the buildings for municipal councils. The poor constructional working conditions triggered new constructions of the buildings reserved only for municipal councils. The study finds out find out about the work of municipal councils and analyzes how the municipal council buildings are used as substitutional spaces, directing which way they should go in mapping out spaces. Resultantly, It becomes basic materials in constructing municipal buildings.

Depth understanding is important for stereoscopic and various methods including space design and cognitive science should be taken account in contents production. Among them, human scientific engineering such as human factor needs to be touched. More specifically, when the stereoscopic designer determines a binocular disparity, the viewpoint of the camera has to be matched with that of the audience. In this process, the structural problem by the distortion due to the dichoptic error is happened, Therefore, 3D sweetening process based on geometric re-analysis and human scientific engineering to minimize the visual fatigue is significant. This paper analyzes the inconsistency problems of the viewpoint in stereoscopic images, and we produce the stereoscopic image contents based on human factors.

In general, sign is the way of communication directing human beings with their daily activities particularly in urban circumstances. And sign planning is designing and installing signboards systematically in urban environment. Generally, the range of application in space sign is pretty wide, and it may safely be say that the attractiveness of the city image is considerably decided upon the sign system. The subject of this study investigates the meaning and the role of sign system applying on human environment, and disirable design direction cope with the constant change of city space. The present study doesn't specifically deals with the basic function of signboards only, but with the problems and solution corresponding with sign system as structual element in city environment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify effective nurse interaction patterns with patients in the emergency department. Methods: For this study, video technology was used to record complete conversations between the nurse and patient. The participants were 28 nurses and 63 patients in the emergency department at one university hospital located in Seoul. The data were collected from November, 2002 to April, 2003. The video recordings were observed for 4 hr for each case and coded using an adapted version of Roter's Interaction Analysis System (RIAS). The data were analyzed using cluster analysis to identify the patterns of nurse-patient interaction. Results: Cluster analysis revealed 4 distinct nurse interaction patterns; 1) "closed" characterized by orientation and negative talk, 2) "positive" characterized by positive affective talk, 3) "informative and directing" characterized by task-focused behavior including data gathering, and giving information about medical condition and treatment, 4) "facilitative" characterized by balance of psychosocial and biomedical topics. Patient satisfaction was highest in the facilitative interaction pattern. Conclusion: The patient centered interaction pattern, balancing information exchange and psychosocial exchange are the most effective interactions in the emergency department, suggesting that effective interaction skill is a core clinical nursing intervention in acute care.

Li, Zr doped mesoporous silica was synthesized in one pot and investigated for low temperature $CO_2$ adsorption. Herein CTAB and TEOS are used as structural directing agent and silica source respectively. The characteristics of the material was obtained from FT IR, XRD, SEM, TG and BET results. ICP AES results revealed the presence of lithium and zirconium. The material possesses high surface area ($962.22m^2g^{-1}$) with mono dispersed particles of about 2 nm. The maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity is 5 wt % (50 mg/g) of $CO_2$/g of sorbent at $25^{\circ}C$, which is regenerable at $200^{\circ}C$. This regeneration temperature of the adsorbent is lower than the reported lithium zirconium silicate powder. Until now, there is no report for the synthesis of Li, Zr doped mesoporous silica. The performance studies illustrate that Li, Zr doped mesoporous silica is tunable, regenerable, recyclable and selective sorbent and hence found to be a promising candidate for $CO_2$ adsorption.

The influence of polluted water discharged from the Saemankeum Lake is predicted by using two-dimensional finite element model. The simulation results show that influence of the Polluted water to the northern part of the Kckunsan Islands is small during flood time. The reason is because lock gates are located in the south of the Kokunsan Islands so that tidal current directing north is blocked by these Islands. However, during the ebb time, the influence of the polluted water is extended to the whole southern part of the Kokunsan Islands. When the amount of ten percent of the total volume of polluted water is discharged from the Saemankeum Lake, equi-concentration contour line of one tenth of initial discharge concentration includes the inner area surrounded by Sinsi Island, Munyeo Island, Bian Island, and Daehang-Li. In general, peak concentration near the lock gates is found out to be higher during the spring tide than the neap tide.

For the clearer visualization of the lung apices in the routine chest P-A view, we have analysed the films at the different positions and different directions of the central X-ray beams. The brief results are as the follows. 1. Best visualization of the lung apices are made with the following position of the patient and central ray. Central ray is directed to the median sagittal plane at the level of the 5th thoracic vertebra with the palms of the hands placing at the greater trochanteric area of the both femurs. 2. The position of the sterno-clavicular joint shows no alteration between the radiographs with the central beam to the film center and to the 5th thoracic vertebra, and position of the hands at the greater trochanters or iliac crests. 3. No relationship exists between the center of the film and the position of the hand. The central beam is projected more inferiorly when the beam is centered to the film center than to the 5th thoracic vertebra. 4. The scapulae are rotated sufficiently anteriorly and more inferiorly, with placing the palms at the greater trochanters, directing central ray to the 5th thoracic vertebra, and with close contact the lung apices to the cassette.

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have been developed to intentionally repress a specific gene expression by directing RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), mimicking the endogenous gene silencer, microRNAs (miRNAs). Although siRNA is designed to be perfectly complementary to an intended target mRNA, it also suppresses hundreds of off-targets by the way that miRNAs recognize targets. Until now, there is no efficient way to avoid such off-target repression, although the mode of miRNA-like interaction has been proposed. Rationally based on the model called "transitional nucleation" which pre-requires base-pairs from position 2 to the pivot (position 6) with targets, we developed a simple chemical modification which completely eliminates miRNA-like off-target repression (0%), achieved by substituting a nucleotide in pivot with abasic spacers (dSpacer or C3 spacer), which potentially destabilize the transitional nucleation. Furthermore, by alleviating steric hindrance in the complex with Argonaute (Ago), abasic pivot substitution also preserves near-perfect on-target activity (∼80-100%). Abasic pivot substitution offers a general means of harnessing target specificity of siRNAs to experimental and clinical applications where misleading and deleterious phenotypes from off-target repression must be considered.
