Wash primer was applied to cargo tank of Membrane-LNG Carrier (M-LNGC) for corrosion resistance and high bond-strength with the mastic. However, a lack of bond-strength verification at high thickness wash primer coating resulted in strict coating thickness control. Therefore wash primer was controlled below DFT(Dry Film Thickness) $30{\mu}m$. In order to develop the wash primer satisfying GTT (GAZ TRANSPORTAION TECHNIGAZ) standard even at high thickness, we evaluated coating properties such as wash primer/mastic bond-strength, corrosion resistance, as well as workability for the newly formulated wash primer materials. The newly formulated wash primer had high bonding-strength to mastic even at high thickness and had proper corrosion resistance and workability suitable to yard condition.

A naturalized species, Silene antirrhina L is newly reported in Korea. S. antirrhina L. was found along the Geumho riverside in Daegu. S. antirrhina L. is similar to S. koreana Kom. and S. armeria L. in that it has dark glutinous areas. S. antirrhina L. can be distinguished from congeneric species by the stamens and styles of its sepal and seed surface which are finely papillate. The Korean name of S. antirrhina L. "Ganeun-Kkunkkunijangguchea" was newly formulated based on the overall characteristics of this thin and small plant and on the Korean name of S. koreana Kom. photos of the habitat and a description and key of characteristics are provided.

Objective: Poor head and neck support during sleep can exacerbate the neck pain. Based on the ideal sleep posture and pillow suggested by Cyriax, we designed a new cervical pillow and compared the degree of pain reduction, quality of sleep and pillow satisfaction with a low hospital pillow and a high pillow. Method: The newly designed pillow has a built-in pressure-adjustable air bag in the cervical area and provides normal cervical lordotic curve in supine position and maintains cervical and thoracic vertebrae to form a horizontal line in side-lying position. Thiry-four patients with cervical pain used low hospital pillows for the first week of 3-week randomized crossover design study. They were subsequently randomly assigned to use each of the other two pillows for 1-week period. Outcomes were measured using Visual analog scale, Sleep questionaire, a pillow satisfaction scale. Result: Compared with other 2 types of pillow, Subjects using the newly desinged pillow showed much reduced pain intensity, increased duration of sleep and better satisfaction. Conclustion: We desinged a cervical pillow with built-in pressure adjustable air bag and it can significantly reduce pain intensity and improve quality of sleep in patients with cervical pain.

Species, doses and routes extrapolation can be sucessfully carried out by using a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach. And PBPK approach to assess risk of hazardous chemicals is reasonable whatever the exposure scenarios are happened. Both partitioning coefficients of chemical between tissue and blood and enzymatic metabolic rate constants are key parameters to build up the PBPK model. In this study, we tried to estimate in vitro metabolic rate constants using a special apparatus instead to measure the in vivo constants which are used to PBPK simulation since the in vitro tests are less expensive and more convenient than in vivo tests. For the purpose, we designed and tested the new system to measure continuously the headspace concentration of VOC. The newly designed system is composed with a diffusion chamber which generates gaseous substrate, a reaction vessel with a recirculating pump to establish a closed system, an autbmatic sampler from a gas phase, a gas chromatography to analyze the headspace. In addition, a cold water condenser is attached between the reaction vessel and pump to reduce the content of gaseous moisture which interferes with chemical analysis. To validate the newly developed methodology, in vitro metabolic rate constants of trichloroethylene (TCE) as a prototype VOC were estimated by simulating observed results with an ACSL program. The simulated results are consistent to those estimated by the other research groups. This finding suggests that our newly designed closed system may be a useful apparatus to estimate in vitro metabolic rate constants for VOC.

To compare the effectiveness of the hemisling, bobath sling, extension-type sling, and the newly designed Modified Triangular Bobath Sling with Distal Support on a hemiplegic shoulder subluxation. Fourteen hemiplegic patients with shoulder subluxation were evaluated by a simple X-ray with and without the slings and the vertical and horizontal distances on the plain AP views were measurement. The newly designed arm sling was compared in terms of the effects of correction with distal support attached with shoulder saddle sling. The arm sling designed for this study was developed for the purpose of maintaining patients hands in a functional position and performing ROM exercise of the shoulder easily, and prevention or correction to shoulder subluxation. The mean values of the vertical and horizontal distance were compared to determine if there was significant difference of function between the new sling and the conventional slings. The new sling provided the patients with good vertical correction of the subluxation(p<0.05) but did not increase the horizontal distance significantly. These results support the effectiveness of a new sling to decrease subluxation in hemiplegia. Further study on the long term effects or complication of the new sling is recommended.

This article presents the results of a survey of 209 Chinese male consumers. In this study, consumer evaluations and attitude towards products made in industrialized and newly industrialized countries were obtained along with measures of consumer shopping behavior. The results indicate that industrialized countries were perceived as manufacturing products that are more reliable, technologically advanced, stylistic, and costly than newly industrialized countries. A duster analysis using moderating variables related to shopping for refrigerators, cameras, and t shirts revealed that the Chinese respondents could be grouped into four segments identified as Durables Enthusiasts, Duraoles Uninvolved, Inexperienced Shoppers, and Apparels Involved. Country attitudes and evaluations were fairly consistent across the newly industrialized countries but varied for industrialized countries across the four segments. Similar results also emerged from a correlation analysis of made in attitude scales (based on moderating shopping variables) with country evaluations. It was found that Chinese consumers' involvement with durable products was positively related to the evaluation of industrialized countries. Consumers belonging to the Durable Enthusiasts and Apparels Involved segments evaluated industrialized countries more favorably and believed to a greater extent that products made in these countries are reliable, technologically advanced, and stylistic than consumers belonging to the Durables Uninvolved and Inexperienced Shopper segments. Managerial and research implications are derived from these results.

The purposes of this study were to determine the actual state of the indoor air quality by measuring TVOC Concentration and surveying residents' responses in a newly built university dormitory and to analyze the influencing factors of IAQ. Field measurements on the concentrations of TVOC and HCHO were carried out three times at 4 week intervals in 3 rooms of a dormitory. A questionnaire survey was conducted on residents which inquired into the resident's lifestyle, their consciousness of IAQ, and the responses to SHS. According to the results, TVOC concentrations were 0.14~18.5 ppm and HCHO concentrations were 0.23~6.89 ppm during the 3 months following the completion of construction, showing a serious state in which standard levels are exceeded, though these levels seemed to decrease over time. The factors influencing the differences in the levels of TVOC and HCHO were the ventilation volume including infiltration, the heating temperature, relative humidity, or the use of living matter that include chemical ingredients. However, the residents rarely felt the symptoms of SHS and were not conscious of the importance of ventilation.
