Let (M, p) denote a noncompact manifold M together with arbitrary basepoint p. In [7], Kondo-Tanaka show that (M, p) can be compared with a rotationally symmetric plane M_m in such a way that if M_m satisfies certain conditions, then M is proved to be topologically finite. We substitute Kondo-Tanaka's condition of finite total curvature of M_m with a weaker condition and show that the same conclusion can be drawn. We also use our results to show that when M_m satisfies certain conditions, then M is homeomorphic to ℝⁿ.

In this study, we implemented the measurement of pH, $pO_2$, $pCO_2$ of the arterial blood on a portable blood gas analysis system. This system is consist of two parts of hardware and software. The hardware part is divided into a fluidic mechanism and an electronic circuit unit. The system program is composed of operating, washing, correcting, and measuring routines. Both of 1-point and 2-point calibration schemes were used to enhance the accuracy of the measurement. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed system, we measured and performed statistical analysis on the characteristics of the sensing electrode response. As a result, coefficient variation was within 1.12, and maximum error was within 1.298%. We confirmed development possibility of portable blood gas analyzer.

The red pigment extracted from Serratia marcescens 2354 (ATCC 25419) was prodigiosin (PG), which was dissolved in methanol and measured for ultraviolet and visible light absorption spectra. It was the typical absorption spectrum of PG in an acid solution with ${\lambda}_{max}=537nm$. When the concentration of PG was increased from $1.0{\times}10-5M$ to $9.0{\times}10-5M$ in the methanol solution, the absorption intensity at 537 nm was increased, the absorption intensity at 467 nm was decreased, and the isosbestic point at 500 nm was observed. This phenomenon can be regarded as a result of reversible acid-base equilibrium reaction considering 537 nm and 467 nm of PG absorption band in acid and base solution respectively and isosbestic point of 500 nm. On the other hand, when the concentration of PG was reduced from $6.0{\times}10-4$ to $1.0{\times}10-4M$ in acetic acid buffer solution at pH 4.75, a new absorption band with ${\lambda}$ max at 500 nm appeared. This absorption band appears only in the aqueous solution of pH 4.75 and does not appear in the pure methanol solution of the same pH. This is due to the conversion of the PG molecule from the ${\alpha}$-isomer to the ${\beta}$-isomer by $H_2O$. In other words, it was confirmed that the color change of the PG can be caused by the concentration of the solution and the characteristics of the solvent.

In the P2P distributed system, such peers don't always keep on-line status. P2P systems are different from the ordinary systems that such peers are organically operated as the elements of system. In this case, users using P2P system are able to loss the reliability. At this point, many P2P studies are tried to resolve these problems. In this paper, we suggest a P2P search algorithm for multidirectional processing about the resources to be downloading. In existing studies, the loading rate is very high to select new resources supported peer, so we suggest new solution in this study.

Xanthine oxidase from bovine thyroid glands was found to contain FAD, molybdenum and iron in a ratio 1:0. 36:1. 6. The molecular weight of the thyroid enzyme was similar to that of the milk enzyme when estimated by gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 7.8. The pH of the isoelectric point was determined to be 6.2 by electrofocusing. Sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis experiment indicated that the enzyme was dissociated into subunits and that the molecular weight for the smallest subunit was 65,000 daltons. Absorption spectra were dissimilar between milk and thyroid xanthine oxidase.

This study was performed to investigate the stream water quality characteristics in Hengjeong Bridge Basin of Dongjin River during twelve months from October, 2010 to September, 2011. Also, pollutant loads were calculated on the basis of the water quality and runoff results. The results showed that ranges of water temperature, pH and EC were $6.2{\sim}23.90^{\circ}C$, 6.32~7.78, $84.4{\sim}126.5{\mu}S/cm$ respectively. The Concentration of DO, BOD, COD, SS, Tot-N and Tot-P were observed as 6.80~9.20 mg/L, 0.40~1.60 mg/L, 1.96~4.41 mg/L, 59.60~142.20 mg/L, 1.28~3.52 mg/L, 0.001~0.07 mg/L respectively. Tot-N showed correlativity with BOD, and Tot-P showed correlativity with SS. The runoff pollutant loading of Tot-N and Tot-P were 117.94 kg/ha and 2.06 kg/ha respectively, in Hengjeong bridge of Dongjin river watershed. In the case of the correlativity between runoff pollutant loads and concentrations, Tot-N and Tot-P show low significant relationships.

Purpose: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is an effective method for controlling post surgical pain. However, it is associated with adverse drug reactions such as nausea and vomiting. In this, study we tested the effects of Nei-Guan (P6) acupressure on PCEA-associated nausea, vomiting, and pain in geriatric patients after total knee replacement arthroplasty (TKRA). Methods: Ninety-nine patients who had TKRA for the first time were randomly assigned to either, experiment group (n=50) or control groups (n=49). All patients received PCEA immediately after surgery, but acupressure on Nei-Guan (P6) point was applied to experiment group only. Ten minutes of finger acupressure on Nei-Guan (P6) acupressure point was applied twice with 15 minute-interval in the experiment group. The incidence of nausea, vomiting, and retching as well as pain intensity were assessed at 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Nausea, and vomiting were assessed by Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching (INVR) questionnaire. Pain intensity was measured with frequency of analgesics. Results: Vomiting both was significantly different between two groups at 12 hours (t=-2.18, p=0.03) and 24 hours (t=-2.64, p=0.01) after surgery. Total scores of nausea, vomiting and retching in experimental group was significantly lower than control group 24hours after surgery (t=-2.18, p=0.03). However, pain was not different between two groups. Conclusion: Nei-Guan (P6) acupressure may be considered as an effective nursing intervention to decrease PCEA-associated nausea and vomiting in older patients after TKRA.

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in human body, so many people suffer from the shoulder pain. In order to improve medical care about shoulder muscle disease, Myofascial Pain Syndrome(M.P.S) is compared with the oriental medical theory. The findings of this study are as follows; 1. Myofascial Pain Syndrome(M.P.S) is the sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms caused by myofascial trigger points. For the objectivity of the oriental medical theory, practical application is necessary. 2. The meridian and meridian-muscle of the shoulder is su-sam-yang(手三陽), su-sam-um(手三陰). Meridian-muscle theory is similar to anatomical muscle and myofascia. 3. There is similarity in the trigger point and Ashi(阿是)-point, taut band and palpable tender-point(硬結), referred pain and Hangki(行氣). In this study, myofacial pain syndrome is similar to the oriental medical theory. If myofacial pain syndrome is applicated in treatment, the cure of shoulder pain and objectivity of the oriental medical theory is improved.
