Rates of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ in water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion were measured in a flat-stirred vessel at $25^{\circ}C$. The w/o emulsion was composed of aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) droplets as a dispersed phase and non-Newtonian viscoelastic benzene solutions of polybutene (PB) and polyisobutylene (PIB) as a continuous phase. The liquid-side-mass transfer coefficient ($k_L$) was obtained from the dimensionless empirical equation containing Deborah number expressed as the properties of pseudoplasticity of the non-Newtonian liquid. $k_L$ was used to estimate the enhancement factor due to chemical reaction between $CO_2$ and MEA in the aqueous phase. PIB with elastic property of non-Newtonian liquid made the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ accelerate compared with Newtonian liquid.

A numerical simulation on the heat transfer and flow field was carried out to improve the performance of the shell and tube heat exchanger. The steady incompressible 3-D Navier-Stokes solution is obtained with the actual operational condition and geometry of the heat exchanger. Based on this study, it is noted that the present geometry of the heat exchanger causes poor heat transfer since the air inside shell does not flow through the tube bundle, but around it. The enhancement of the heat transfer can be achieved by the variation of the design factor like the sealing strip located on the top/bottom and middle of the baffle, but it causes the increasement of the pressure drop. In this paper, the effects of the location and size of the sealing strips and flow rate through the heat exchanger on the heat transfer and pressure drop are studied.

Recently, as the wide spread of smart phone, pico projector which is used at the smart phone is appeared as a portable display device. In this paper, among several pico projectors, laser beam scanner module is dealt with in which laser is used as light source, and mems-mirror is used as optical panel. In this device, screen image quality is a special issue, and blur effect is a typical adverse effect to the quality of this device. So the enhancement of this blur effect has an important factor of the quality of the device. The definition of the blur and the main source of the blur are studied and the simulation results and way of improvement are also suggested.

The purpose of this study was to identify self-efficacy and self-concept of professional nursing which might influence clinical practice satisfaction in nursing students. The participants were 278 nursing students in U city. Date were collected from November 29 to December 17, 2010. The collected data was analyzed with the PASW 18.0 statistics program. Self-efficacy had significant positive correlation with self-concept of professional nursing(r=.595, p<.001) and self-concept of professional nursing had significant positive correlation with clinical practice satisfaction(r=.396, p<.001). In multiple regression analysis, self-concept of professional nursing is most influential factor explained 21% of variance of clinical practice satisfaction. The results indicate that to develop a more reasonable and effective curriculum and teaching program for enhancement of students' self-concept of professional nursing.

저전송률 오디오 부호화기의 성능 향상을 위해 가변 LPC 기반으로 스펙트럼을 평탄화 하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 대역별 scale factor를 동일하게 하여 비트 효율을 증가시키고 spectral hole이 발생하는 문제점을 해결할 수 있다. 또한, 가변 LPC 필터를 사용하여 프레임 특성에 따라 스펙트럼 평탄화 강도를 가변적으로 조절하여 성능 향상을 제공한다. 제안한 방법이 일반 LPC 필터 방법보다 저대역의 부호화 성능을 향상시키고 스테레오 왜곡을 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper discussed about creativity and knowledge management variables as for effect factors on the management performance of IT service firms. Specially the mediation effects of knowledge management variables between the creativity and management performance were examined. To prove empirically the related hypothesis, the statistical analysis were based on the response from the 160 Korean IT Service firms. As an analysis results, it was found that the creativity of organizations was not the direct effector on the management performance. But the virtue of knowledge which are accumulated from knowledge management activity and shared in organizations was the direct effector. Also, the knowledge management activity is mediator on the in the relationship between the creativity and management performance. So this paper suggests that knowledge management activity and knowledge's virtue in the related the creativity in organizations are the important mediate factors for enhancement of IT service firm's performance.

We have developed a top-emitting white organic electroluminescent device (TWOLED) incorporating a low-reflectivity molybdenum (Mo) anode and doped transport layers as well as a dual-layer architecture of doped blue and yellow emitters with the same blue host. The EL efficiency and operational lifetime of TWOLED can be enhanced by a factor of 1.2 and 3.4 than that of standard TWOLED, respectively, with a co-doping technology in yellow emitter by doping another blue dopant. The enhancement in device performances can be attributed to improve the energy transfer efficiency from blue host to yellow dopant through a blue dopant as medium in yellow emitter.

Liriope platyphylla (LP) Wang et Tang has been used for tonic, anti-tussive and expectorant in Korea. In the current study, we found that buthanol fraction of Liriope platyphylla-conditioned media of C6 and primary astrocyte induced the neurite outgrowth of PC 12 cells, which effect was reversed by addition of NGF-antibody. We demonstrated that buthanol fraction of Liriope platyphylla increased the expression and secretion of NGF through RT-PCR and ELISA. (omitted)

On the precontracted rabbit cavernosal muscle strips with phenylephrine ($5\ast10^{-6}$M), Increasing concentrations of acetylcholine (10-7, 10-6, 10-5, 10-4M) showed relaxation effect dose-dependently in control group ($10^{-7}$M : 15.32%, $10^{-6}$M : 35.44%, 10-5M : 59.45%, 10-4M : 76.54%). After 3 months administering Korean red ginseng, the relaxation action of acetylcholine was significantly increased ($10^{-7}$M : 34.18%, $10^{-6}$M : 56.35%, $10^{-5}$M : 75.33%, $10^{-4}$M : 89.86%). Relaxation effect of Korean red ginseng was significantly increased after 3 months administering Korean red ginseng. Intracavernous pressure response to electrostimulation wan 107.52 cm$H_2O$ in control group and significantly increased to 138.34 cm $H_2O$ after 3 month administering Korean red ginseng. With these results, we can confirm that long-term administration of Korean red ginseng enhances the erectly capacity and that its action is mediated by endothelium derived relaxing factor and peripheral neurophysiologic enhancement.

Effects of Escherichia coli genomic DNA on the production of phagocyte activating supernatants by the head kidney leucocytes isolated from olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) were investigated. Phagocyte activating activity of the supernatants was estimated by. measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in target head kidney phagocytes. All supernatants from olive flounder head kidney leucocytes-stimulated with E. coli DNA induced significantly (P<0.01) higher ROS production from target pagocytes than the unstimulated control supernatant. Maximum enhancement of chemiluminescent response was observed $5.0-10.0{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of bacterial DNA while the increment ability was decreased significantly (P<0.01) at the concentration of $20.0{\mu}mL^{-1}$. The results demonstrate that olive flounder head-kidney leucocytes stimulated with bacterial DNA release a soluble phagocyte activating cytokines capable of enhancing the respiratory burst activity from target phagocytes.
