The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-esteem and the body cathexis on consumers' attitude in acceptance of fashion trends. The subjects were 460 women from in their 20's to 60's living in Daegu area. The scale for self-esteem and the body cathexis were used and self-report questionnaires were applied to measure the acceptance of fashion trends. The data were analysed by frequency, mean, factor analysis, ANOVA and Duncan-test using SPSS-package. The results were as follows. First, the results of analysing the factor of the response of acceptance of fashion trends identified three attitudes; 'active to fashion trends', 'passive to fashion trends' and 'unconcern to fashion trends'. Secondly, there were significant differences in the acceptance of fashion trends in accordance with an age. Thirdly, there were significant differences in the acceptance of fashion trends and clothing shopping orientation according to one's self-esteem and the body cathexis. It appeared that higher the level of self-esteem and the body cathexis predicts an 'active to fashion trend' attitude in acceptance of fashion trends.

Because of the design and construction requirements, the nuclear structures need to maintain the structural integrity under both design state and extreme earthquake shaking. The base-isolation technology can significantly reduce the damages of structures under extreme earthquake events, and effectively protect the safeties of structures and internal equipment. This study proposes a base-isolation design for the AP1000 nuclear shield building on considering the performance requirements of the seismic isolation systems and devices of shield building. The seismic responses of isolated and nonisolated shield buildings subjected to design basis earthquake (DBE) shaking and beyond-design basis earthquake (BDBE) shaking are analyzed, and three different strategies for controlling the displacements subjected to BDBE shaking are performed. By comparing with nonisolated shield buildings, the floor acceleration spectra of isolated shield buildings, relative displacement, and base shear force are significantly reduced in high-frequency region. The results demonstrate that the base-isolation technology is an effective approach to maintain the structural integrity which subjected to both DBE and BDBE shaking. A displacement control design for isolation layers subjected to BDBE shaking, which adopts fluid dampers for controlling the horizontal displacement of isolation layer is developed. The effectiveness of this simple method is verified through numerical analysis.

Pipe system widely used in a ship is usually attached to the hull of a ship, and its vibration lead to structure-borne noise. Rubber mount is usually used as a vibration isolator of a pipe in a ship. In this paper, the effects of several factors, besides the stiffness and damping of the rubber mount, on vibration-isolating performance are taken into consideration. The parameters considered in this paper are hardness of the rubber material, painting on the rubber and deformation from clamping. Through the results of parametric study, the effective specifications of rubber mount are suggested to improve vibration-isolating performance. The performance under fluid flowing condition is calculated numerically and verified experimentally.

In this work, to obtain the detailed information about lightning electromagnetic field waveforms, the LabVIEW based-measurement system of time-changing magnetic fields was designed and constructed. The frequency bandwidth of the magnetic field measuring system ranges from 300 [Hz] to 1 [MHz], and the response sensitivity is 2.78 [mV/nT]. Data acquisition system with the resolution of 12 bits and memory capacity of 32 [Mbyte] was triggered by the magnetic field to be measured. The properties and parameters of the magnetic fields produced by cloud discharges were statistically investigated. The magnetic field waveforms radiated from cloud lighting discharges tend to be bipolar, with two or more narrow and several pulses superimposed on the initial front part. The recording length of the magnetic field measurement system is about 10 [ms]. The mean duration of cloud discharges is 1.3 [ms], and the number of outburst pulses for the period is 8 in average. The front times of the magnetic fields are 6.15 [$\mu$s] in average. The the zero-to-zero crossing times that is the initial half-cycle duration is widely dispersed and the mean value is 9.61 [$\mu$s], and the mean value of percentage depth of dip to opposite polarity is 41.1 [$\%$].

The clarification of insulation capability of GIS(Gas Insulated Substation) under very fast transient overvoltages such as disconnector/circuit-breaker induced surge is very important for establishing not only a rational insulation testing method, but also insulation design intending to make GIS more reliable and more minimized. One of the absolute prerequisits for this is that more accurate measurement of VFTO. This describes capacitive voltage measuring methods for high voltage steep-footed oscillating waves using capacitive coupling principle and their systems including source and load impedances. Time domain response of unit step and its frequency characteristics are also investigated.

Major atmospheric stability classification methods were evaluated with meteorological data obtained by scoustic sounding profiler (SODAR/RASS) in Seoul. The Psequill classificatio method, the method most widely used because of its good agreement in respect of synoptic scope under the steady state, fails to describe the time lag, the response time on stability by heating or cooling caused by daily insolation or noctrunal surface radiation. Horizontal and vertical standard deviation of wind fluctuation $(\sigma_A and \sigma_E)$ method tend to classify night-time stable condition (E, F class) into unstable condition (A, B class). The classification matrix tables for Vogt's vertical temperature difference and wind speed using method ($\Delta$T $\cdot$ U) and bulk Richardson number (Rb) were amended for practical use over Seoul. The modified tables for $\Delta$T $\cdot$ U and Rb method were made by using comprehensive frequency distribution from Pasquill's method and other existing results, and the correlation coefficient(r) was equal to 0.829. It was confirmed that atmospheric stability could be changed with monitoring site characteristics, height and vertical difference between sensors of monitoring station, and classification method itself.

In this paper, we present a time domain combined field integral equation formulation (TD-CFIE) to analyze the transient electromagnetic response from dielectric objects. The solution method is based on the method of moments which involves separate spatial and temporal testing procedures. A set of the RWG functions is used for spatial expansion of the equivalent electric and magnetic current densities, and a combination of RWG and its orthogonal component is used for spatial testing. The time domain unknowns are approximated by a set of orthonormal basis functions derived from the Laguerre polynomials. These basis functions are also used for temporal testing. Use of this temporal expansion function characterizing the time variable makes it possible to handle the time derivative terms in the integral equation and decouples the space-time continuum in an analytic fashion. Numerical results computed by the proposed formulation are compared with the solutions of the frequency domain combined field integral equation.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of muscle contraction torque and muscle fatigue by low-frequency PC. In this article, We would like to experiment on electrical stimulation, determine optimal forms of stimulation setting. We used normal fourteen subjects(seven women, seven men) without neuromuscular disease and all subjects participated in the 3 session. Torque was measured using a computerized Kin-Com dynamometer for MVIC, MIC, Fatigue tests. The following results were obtained; 1. Torque of man were significantly higher than women in the MIC test(p<.05). 2. Torque of women, man were significantly decreased in the Fatigue test(p<.001). Between woman and man groups were significant difference(p<.05). These results lead us to the conclusion that muscle fatigue was influenced by PC, fatigue of women was higher than man. Therefore, A further studies concerning the electrical stimulation should consider differences between sexes in response to treatment and could enhance the development of the most effective treatment regimens.
