This paper introduces a biocompatible packaging system for implantable medical device having a hermetic sealing, such that a perfect physical and chemical isolation between electronic medical system and human body (including tissue, body fluids, etc.) is obtained. The hermetic packaging includes an electronic MEMS pressure sensor, power charging system, and bluetooth communication system to wirelessly measure variation of capacitance. The packaging was acquired by Quartz direct bonding and $CO_2$ laser welding, with a size of width $ 6cm{\times}length\;10cm{\times}lheight\;3cm$. Hermetic sealing of the packaged system was tested by changing the pressure in a hermetic chamber using a precision pressure controller, from atmospheric to 900 mmHg. We found that the packaged system retained the same count or capacitance values with sensor 1 - 25,500, sensor 2 - 26,000, and sensor 3 - 20,800, at atmospheric as well as 900 mmHg pressure for 5 hours. This result shows that the packaging method has perfect hermetic sealing in any environment of the human body pressure.

Chemicals, such as ammunition, are disposable items that cannot be reused because of their operational characteristics. The reliability of the test process and test results are important factors in evaluating the performance of guns and ammunition. The pressure after firing is a crucial value in an acceptance test of guns and ammunition performance; hence, accurate measurements are required. The pressure in the artillery is measured using the copper crusher gauge. The compression amount of copper is converted into a pressure by either a length-pressure conversion table or conversion formula. Therefore, the exact measurement of the squeeze of the copper crusher is related directly to the correct estimate of the pressure. Currently, the pressure is measured manually by the operator, which always includes some human error. In this study, the cause of the measurement error was analyzed, and the automatic measuring system for copper crusher deformation was developed to minimize the error elements. A copper crusher could be measured using the probe sensor and CCD camera, and the Jig for stable positioning was also designed. A designated SW was also developed for the system operating and measurement-analysis. This measuring system through this study may be used for an ammunition stockpile reliability test and gun/ammunition acceptance test.

The purpose of this study was to measure distribution of clothing pressure on breast in brassiere according to body shape and motion, and the position of hook-and-eye on brassiere, and to get basic data for comfortable brassiere design. Clothing pressure was measured from 8 female subjects under wearing trials in climatic chamber. When brassiere was tied together with inner or outer hook-and-eye, clothing pressure under the condition were 10.2 and 9.6 gf/cm², respectively. With the degree between main body and arms increased from 0° to 45° and 90°to the front, clothing pressure decreased from 10.2 to 9.6 gf/cm², and then increased to 10.4 gf/cm² When the decree was increased from 45° to 70° to the flank, the pressure increased from 9.3 to 10.6 gf/cm². Fat body shape recorded 10.8 gf/cm², and lean body shape recorded 9.5 gf/cm² of clothing pressure by wearing brassiere. Clothing pressures of brassiere were 7.8g gf/cm² in front, 9.5 gf/cm² in side, 12.8 gf/cm² in the back side. Therefore, clothing pressure of brassiere was influenced to the greater extent by body shape and measuring points on human body than by the position of hook-and-eye and body motion.

This research is about effects of obesity adults participating in 12weeks of boxing diets program on weight loss, blood pressure and blood sugar improvements. The exercise program was conducted three times a week with a maximum heart rate of 50 to 65 percent for first to forth weeks and 65 to 85 percent for fifth to twelfth. The study included 59 obese people in their 20s and 50s, with a BMI of 25kg/m2 or higher, blood pressure of 140/90mmHg, and high blood pressure and diabetes patients of 125 mg/dl per fasting blood sugar. The following results were obtained by observing the results before and after the boxing exercise program. High blood pressure, diabetes, high blood pressure + diabetes after 12 weeks showed significant weight, BMI and body fat reduction, as well as significant decrease in blood pressure and fasting blood sugar. Consequently, through this study, obese adults can lower their weight, blood pressure, and blasting fasting blood sugar through a 12-week high-strength boxing exercise program and it is believed to help improve and prevent obesity, cardiovascular disease and metabolic diseases.

Experiments were performed for investigate the immune activities on human B and T cell growth and secretion of their cytokines. Also, antibodies in serum were investigated in female ICR mouse by feeding the extracts of Acer mono at dose of 30 and 100 mg/mL of one day orally for 15 days. The cytotoxicity of the samples on normal human cell (HEL299) was below 24.15% in adding the all extracts. Both human immune B and T cells were increased up to about 40% by the high pressure extraction process. The secretion of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$) on human B and T cells were increased up to 20-50% by adding the high pressure extraction process compare to the hot water extraction process. Also, total serum IgG levels increased by feeding Acer mono extacts. It can be conclude that optimum condition for efficient extraction of Acer mono as functional materials is solvent extraction process using water with high pressure at below $100^{\circ}CA$ than typical process.

In this study, volatile compounds in liquor distilled from mash produced using koji or nuruk under reduced or atmospheric pressure were analyzed and eventually, the proper starter material and distillation method was selected. Acetaldehyde was detected two or three times more in the liquor distilled under the atmospheric pressure than under the reduced pressure. Furfural was only detected in the liquor distilled under the atmospheric pressure. Esters were detected more in the liquor distilled under the atmospheric pressure than the reduced pressure. Ethyl pelargonate and 2-phenyl ethanol were particularly detected two times more in the liquor distilled under the atmospheric pressure than the reduced pressure. Methanol was detected two times more in the liquor made with nuruk than that with koji. These results suggest that the liquor distilled from the mash produced using koji under the reduced pressure may have the better quality.

This study examined the parenting beliefs and the achievement pressure of Korean mothers with five to seven year old children. The maternal parenting beliefs criterion (Ahn, 2001) and achievement pressure criterion (Hong, 2001) have been applied to 212 mothers living in Seoul or Kyonggi-Do area and analyzed. The results showed that the maternal parenting beliefs were influenced by the child's gender, while the maternal achievement pressure was not. And significant difference was seen only in between the educational background and the maternal parenting beliefs, and the employment status and interaction effects were not shown.

The conventional studies of the aging effect on cardio-vascular system are mostly obtained from human experiences and can only provide local information. In this study, the effect of fatigue fracture of arterial wall on the blood pressure was investigated by hemodynamic analysis. The aging process was simulated with three stages. The pulse wave velocity increased with age. The systolic blood pressure increases consistently but diastolic blood pressure decreases with age. The simulated results show in good accordance with the clinical ones.

If gas hydrate dissociates due to natural and/or human activities, it generates large amount of gas and water. Upon gas hydrate dissociation, a generated pore water pressure between soil particles increases and results in the loss of an effective stress and degradation of soil stiffness and strength. In order to predict the generated excess pore water pressure due to gas hydrate dissociation, two methods based on small hydrate concept (SHC) and large hydrate concept (LHC) are proposed. An excess pore water pressure generated by the gas hydrate dissociation in the Storegga Slide was calculated using two proposed methods.

The system for measuring the electrodermal activity (EDA) signal occurring at the sweet glands in the human body was implemented in this study. The EDA measurement system (EDAMS) consisted of an algometer and the bio-potential measurement system (BPMS). Three experiments were performed using EDAMS. First, the linearity of the output voltage corresponding to the pressure being applied to an algometer was evaluated. The linearity of output voltage according to the pressure was 0.956. Second, the amplitude and the latency of the EDA signal at the left palm was obtained while applying the pressure stimuli to the left and right scapula. The latency of EDA signal was shorter whereas the amplitude of EDA signal was higher when the pressure applied was applied to the left scapula. Third, the amplitude and latency of the EDA was measured at left and right palm while increasing the pressure stimuli to the left scapula. The latency of EDA signal at left and right palm was decreased according to the intensity of pressure stimulus applied to the left scapula. However, the latency of the EDA signals did not show the linearity with respect to the pressure stimuli.
