The implicit, finite element analysis program for analyzing the springback in the warm forming process of aluminum alloy sheets was developed. For the description of planar anisotropy in warm forming temperatures, Barlat's yield function is employed, and the power law type constitutive equation is used in terms of working temperatures fur the depiction of work hardening in high temperatures. Also, Jetture's 4-node shell elements are introduced for reflecting the mechanical behavior of aluminum alloy sheet and the non-steady heat balance equations are solved for considering heat gain and loss during the forming process. For the springback evaluation, Newton-Raphson iteration method is introduced for overcoming the geometric nonlinearlity problem. In order to verify the validity of the FEM program developed, the stretching bending and springback processes are simulated. Though springback analysis results are slightly bigger than experimental ones, they have the same trend of the decreasing springback as the forming temperature increases.

This study was conducted to propose the plan of creating a brooklet reflecting an water-friendly space as well as its function as the habitats of wildbird in Cheongdam Neighborhood Park in Seoul. Major fields of this study include a survey of the staus, a basic plan, a master plan, a execution; a survey of this site was focused on topography, water system, trail, existing vegetation, wildbird; a detailed plan was focused on flow plan, planting plan, facility plan. Existing vegetation was classified into 5 types; Quercus mongolica-Q. acutissima forest, Robinia pseudoacacia forest, Populus${\times}$albaglandulosa forest, artificial green space, urban area. 11 species and 49 individuals of wildbirds appeared in 2004(3~4month). The plan of creating a brooklet were divided passive-zone, eco-zone, and dynamic-zone. Environment elements of each space including a mountain stream, ecological pond, marshland, ecological landscape forest, wildbird observation trail, waterway etc. The brooklet of Cheongdam Neighborhood Park is rated high as an important space for wildbird biodiversity. Accordingly, continuous monitoring of this biotope as a urban habitat is required as the environment changes.

This Research have suggested the new estimation method using parameter estimation algorithm to substitute established velocity and friction factor calculation equation. Established calculation equation has some difficulties for estimation and reflecting exactly flow specification cause parameter uncertainty and material uncertainty governed real phenomenon, so this research has used system modeling method for flow specification estimation and suggested estimation method.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic factors on quality of satisfaction towards denture treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred subjects (filling inclusion criteria) who were wearing a denture for at least two months were enrolled and divided into five groups on the basis of sociodemographic variables (age, gender, literacy level, socio-economic and marital status). Questionnaires consisting of 38 questions (positive and negative attitude towards denture satisfaction) related to patients' perception of clinical outcome in different domains such as mastication, appearance, speech, comfort, health, denture care and social status were scored by the subjects. Questions reflecting positive attitude were scored as 2, 1, or 0 (yes, uncertain and no, respectively) and reversely for the negative questions. Statistical analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (${\alpha}$= .05). RESULTS. Level of denture satisfaction was higher in age subgroup belonging to 45 - 65 years of age in relation to comfort, health and denture care. Female and male showed significant priority for denture treatment because of esthetic and function respectively. Level of satisfaction was statistically significant with literacy level. Upper high income group showed significantly higher level of satisfaction only in case of social status. Married group showed significantly higher satisfaction level only with comfort. CONCLUSION. Patients' sociodemographic variables were influential factors on denture satisfaction.

This paper is concerned with the design of optimal surface heating patterns that result in focusing acoustic energy inside a subsurface target volume at a specified target time. The surface of the solid is heated by an incident laser beam which gives rise to shear and compressional waves propagating into the solid. The optimal heating design process aims to achieve the desired energy focusing at the target with minimal laser power densities and minimal system disturbance away from the target. The optimality conditions are secured via the conjugated gradient method and by the finite element method along with using the half-space Green's function matrix. Good quality energy focusing is achived with the optimal designs reflecting the high directivity of the photothermally generated shear wave patterns.

Over the past few years, many studies have been conducted on the flow, sediment movement, pollution transportation and scour etc. However, very few attempts have been made at the hydraulic studies reflecting upon the ecological function. The objective of this study is to examine the structures of the flow and turbulence in an open circular channel and their relationship to distribution of the organisms and chironomids. Under different flow conditions, the organic matter and some chironomids were injected into the channel. Using the obtained velocity data, the flow mechanisms and the turbulent shear stresses were analyzed. Organic matters and chironomids were distributed on the region that the velocity was slower and the turbulent shear stresses were smaller. Some habitat moved even though chironomids were inhabited. This phenomenon has relationship with the flow mechanism. Some chironomids have distributed around the habitat structure of a hemisphere. The secondary flow has affected the deposition of the organic matters and the distribution of chironomids.

e-business curriculum needs to be developed reflecting requirements of the stakeholder which involve a close relation with a industrial and educational job performed in the field. In this paper, we present a new methodology for developing a market-oriented and stakeholder-led e-business curriculum using quality function deployment(QFD) and conjoint analysis. For this purpose, we analyze the data resulting from the surveyed opinions of respondents working for e-business companies, the interviewed results with professors and students and evaluate the importance of each course being involved in the curriculum with respect to the job classification (e.g.. Web planner. Web master. Web programmer. Web marketer. Web designer), and then. complete a curriculm flow diagram(CFD) considering precedence and relative difficulty among the selected courses. The e-business curriculum developed by the proposed method is useful to provide guidelines for determining courses required toward a desired job and for making a partial amendment of the curriculum.

Silymarin showed P-glycoprptein(P-gp) inhibitory activity as much as verapamil, a well-known P-gp inhibitor, by decreasing $IC_{50}$ value of daunomycin(DNM)($16.0{\pm}0.7{\mu}M$), increasing the DNM accumulation($224.9{\pm}3.2%$), and decreasing DNM efflux($58.5{\pm}6.7%$), concurrently. In this study, we clarified the mechanism of action of silymarin for P-gp inhibitory function. First, silymarin may bind to the ATP-binding site and thus, prevent ATP hydrolysis. Second, the P-gp inhibitory activity of silymarin is not related to changing the cellular P-gp level. Third, the cytotoxicity of silymarin was increased in the presence of verapamil, reflecting that silymarin is a competent P-gp substrate against verapamil in the P-gp-overexpressed adriamycin-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer(MCF-7/ADR) cells. Conclusively, silymarin had the P-gp inhibitory activity through the action of competent binding to the P-gp substrate-binding site. Therefore, silymarin can be a good candidate for safe and effective MDR reversing agent in clinical chemotherapy by administering concomitantly with anticancer drugs.

The recent worldwide trend in construction industry tends to put emphasis on the performance based design which focuses on the suggestion of the performance of final products rather than method and procedures. A proper model should be employed when predicting the concrete strength, which reflects the material age, in order to verify the function of concrete structures and their materials. Accordingly, this paper proposes the concrete strength development constant (${\alpha}_{sc}$) reflecting the characteristics of domestic materials and then evaluates its suitability.
