  • This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the salinity on growth, inorganic ion content, and photosynthetic rate ($\textrm{P}^{N}$) in Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) with complex fertilizer (CF) and NaCl concentrations. The salinity was applied to plant using NaCl and CF, and controlled an EC as 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 dS $\textrm{m}^{-1}$. The salinity treated three times at 35, 42 and 49 d after transplanting. The leaf area in different electrical conductivity (EC) decreased only the higher NaCl 1.0 dS $\textrm{m}^{-1}$. The root growth increased with CF and especially, it was two times higher at 3.0 dS $\textrm{m}^{-1}$ than that of control. But the root growth sharply decreased with NaCl compared to CF. The light saturation point of Korean ginseng was around 100 $\mu\textrm{mol}\;\textrm{m}^{-2}\textrm{s}^{-1}$ photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and $\textrm{P}^{N}$ increased as CF increased but decreased with NaCl especially at the late growth stage. The $\textrm{Na}^{+}$ content in Korean ginseng increased sharply with NaCl.

  • This paper propose a new power conditioner topology with intelligent power management controller that integrates multiple renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and fuel cell energy with battery backup to make best use of their operating characteristics and obtain better reliability than that could be obtained by single renewable energy based power supply. The proposed embedded controller is programmed for maintaining a constant voltage at PCC, maximum power point tracking for solar PV panel and WTG and power flow control by regulating the reference currents of the controller on instantaneous basis based on the power delivered by the sources and load demand. Instantaneous variation in reference currents of the controller enhances the controller response as it accommodates the effect of continuously varying solar insolation and wind speed in the power management. The power conditioner uses a battery bank with embedded controller based online SOC estimation and battery charging system to suitably sink or source the input power based on the load demand. The simulation results of the proposed power management system for a standalone solar/WTG/fuel cell fed hybrid power supply with real time solar radiation and wind velocity data collected from solar centre, KEC for a sporadically varying load demand is presented in this paper and the results are encouraging in reliability and stability perspective.

  • OLED has many advantages of low voltage operation, self radiation, light weight, thin thickness, wide view angle and fast response time to overcome existing liquid crystal display (LCD)'s weakness. Therefore, It draws attention as promising display and has already developed for manufactured goods. Also, OLED is regarded as a only substitute of flexible display with a thin display. However, Indium tin oxide(ITO) thin film for electrode of OLED shows a low electrical properties and is impossible to deposit at high thermal condition because electrical characteristics of ITO is getting worse. One of the ways to realize an improved flexible OLED is to use high internal efficiency electrodes, which have higher work function than those single layer of ITO films of the same thickness. The high internal efficiency electrodes film is developed with structure of nickel oxide for bottom Emission Type of OLED.

  • OLED has many advantages of low voltage operation, self radiation, light weight, thin thickness, wide view angle and fast response time to overcome existing liquid crystal display (LCD)'s weakness. Therefore, It draws attention as promising display and has already developed for manufactured goods. Also, OLED is regarded as a only substitute of flexible display with a thin display. A considerable portion of the light originating film emissive centers buried in a solid film never escapes due to internal reflection at the air-film interface and is scattered as edge emission or dissipated within the solid film This is one of the major reasons why the luminous power efficiency of OLED remains low, in spite of research progress in OLED. Although several ways of overcoming this difficulty have been reported, no comprehensive method has been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose that use of anti-reflective coating layers.

  • The data integration with modeled predictions (DIMP) model is a promising inverse radiation transport method for solving the special nuclear material (SNM) holdup problem. Unlike previous methods, DIMP is a completely passive nondestructive assay technique that requires no initial assumptions regarding the source distribution or active measurement time. DIMP predicts the most probable source location and distribution through Bayesian inference and quasi-Newtonian optimization of predicted detector responses (using the adjoint transport solution) with measured responses. DIMP performs well with forward hemispherical collimation and unshielded measurements, but several considerations are required when using narrow-view collimated detectors. DIMP converged well to the correct source distribution as the number of synthetic responses increased. DIMP also performed well for the first experimental validation exercise after applying a collimation factor, and sufficiently reducing the source search volume's extent to prevent the optimizer from getting stuck in local minima. DIMP's simple point detector response function (DRF) is being improved to address coplanar false positive/negative responses, and an angular DRF is being considered for integration with the next version of DIMP to account for highly collimated responses. Overall, DIMP shows promise for solving the SNM holdup inverse problem, especially once an improved optimization algorithm is implemented.

  • Accurate prediction of the radiated noise is important to reduce the noise of the washing machine. It is also necessary to predict the excitation force accurately because excitation force can induce noise. In order to predict the excitation force acting on the washing machine, this paper conducts source identification method by use of phase reference spectrum. In this method, the transfer function between the cabinet and the motor through FEM and the measured response from the surface of the cabinet is used. The analysis of the radiation noise from the identified exciting force has been investigated. The comparison between the predicted SPL and the measured SPL at 1m apart from the front side of the washing machine showed good tendency.

  • Coronary artery disease is a loading cause of morbidity and mortality across the world. Percutaneous coronary intervention has become the major technique of revascularization. However, restenosis remains a major limitation of this procedure. Recently the need for repeat intervention due to restenosis, the most vexing long-term failure of percutaneous coronary intervention, has been significantly reduced owing to the introduction of two major advances, intracoronary brachytherapy and the drug-eluting stents. Intracoronary brachytherapy has been employed in recent years to prevent restenosis lesions with effective results, principally in in-stent restenosis. Restenosis is generally considered as au excessive form of normal wound healing divided up in precesses: elastic recoil, neointimal hyperplasia, and negative vascular remodeling. Restenosis has previously been regarded as a proliferative process in which neointimal thickening, mediated by a cascade of inflammatory mediators and other factors, is the key factor. Ionizing radiation has been shown to decrease the proliferative response to injury in animal models of restenosis. Subsequently, several randomized, double blind trials have demonstrated that intracoronary brachytherapy can reduce the rates of both angiographic restenosis and clinical event rates in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for in stent restenosis. Some problems, such as late thrombosis and edge restenosis, have been identified as limiting factors of this technique. Brachytherapy is a promising method of preventing and treating coronary artery restenosis.

  • Exposing plant organs to high doses of ionizing irradiation, penetrating into the plant tis-sues and cells, along the track structure of particles, lesions, and sublesions are formed on the molecules and organelles. As a result, disorders in the growth and development as well as chlorophyll-deficiency symptoms occur. The time scale of their reparation, recovery and over compensation during ontogenesis, constitutes a question of high theoretical and practical importanced, with special regard to nuclear fallout. With an aim to model the “ut supra”stated phenomena, the seeds of bean, Echo elit licensed variety, were irradiated by 300 Gy dose of X-ray-irradiation (120 kV:4.5 mA). According to the data obtained, the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments, will have been completed by the beginning of flowering. In consequence of the overcompensation of the repairing processes, the organs of plants developed from irradiated seeds, showed a partly differing correlative growth, compared to those of control plants. In order to characterize the vivo response of radiation-injured plants, a new method and approach were used. The changes of the electric capacitance of the plants during their ontogenesis, were continously monitored and recorede via a computer-aided and controlled measurement. In view of the data collected in such a way, the repairing plants may respond more quickly and intensively to the changes of environmental factors.

  • Generally, noise in a reciprocating compressor is attributed to the driving force of a pump. However, close examination shows that the noise heard by customers finally results from radiation of a shell in a compressor, the noise caused by both transmission through a shell and resonance with the natural frequency of a shell. Therefore, the peak frequencies contributing to the overall level of a compressor' noise are closely concerned with vibration of a shell. That's why radiated noise by vibration can be reduced by changing the mode of a shell and by shifting the peak frequencies to other ranges, which are not globally related with the overall noise level. In this paper, the main peak frequencies are analyzed to reduce the radiated noise of a shell, and the vibration characteristics of a shell are examined through Frequency Response Function and Finite Element Analysis. Moreover, the Operational Deflection Shape for a shell is measured with consideration of real driving force of a pump. Finally, the optimum position on a shell, closely related to the main peak frequencies, is found, and the overall noise level caused by radiated noise of a shell is noticeably reduced by mass or stiffness modification of the position.

  • Purpose: The aim of study was to identify ranges of Korean nurses' competency in disaster nursing. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The review used information from four databases: RISS, ScienceON, EBSCO Discovery Service, and CINAHL. In this review, key words were 'disaster', 'nurs*', 'competenc*', 'ability' and 'preparedness'. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified as strategies to use in this review. The inclusion criteria for this review focused on the following: Korean nurse, articles related to disaster nursing competency, peer-review articles published in the full text in Korean and English. Review articles were excluded. Results: Nineteen studies were eligible for result extraction. A total of 10 categories of disaster nursing competency were identified: Knowledge of disaster nursing, crisis management, disaster preparation, information collection and sharing, nursing record and document management, communication, disaster plan, nursing activities in disaster response, infection management, and chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear, and explosive management. Conclusion: It is necessary to distinguish between Korean nurses' common disaster nursing competency, professional disaster nursing competency, and disaster nursing competency required in nursing practice. Therefore, future research will be needed to explore and describe disaster nursing competency.
