This exploratory study investigated the software programs utilized by clinical dietitians and their perceptions on the use of information technology. The study focused on the use of specialized software for dietetics, general software for any office use and the Internet. A self-administered survey was used to collect data from clinical dietitians identified in the Kentucky Dietetic Association Directory 2003-2004. The survey was conducted in March through April, 2004. A total of 22 responses were collected, which yielded a response rate of $68\%$. Findings suggest that computer use has become a routine for optimal clinical practice ; major specialized software programs are used for nutrition assessment, nutrition analysis and menu development. Use of specialized software appears to be unassociated with dietitians' age and years of experience ; however, the associations are indicated between use of specialized software and education level as well as their specialty ; word processing and spreadsheet are the major general software used. Internet is used mainly for information search and communication. Respondents perceived that overall work efficiency and productivity significantly increased with computer use. The complexity of software is the major barrier encountered so training is the most needed support by the department. Strategic promotion on the use of specialized software should be targeted to the management team of the hospitals/facilities.

The purpose of the study was to investigate relationships among food safety training, knowledge, and practices of school food service employees. A questionnaire that identified employees' food safety training experience, knowledge, and practices was developed based on a review of literature. A total of 341 Korean school food service employees participated in the survey; the final usable responses were 293 (a response rate: 86%). Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS for Windows (version 10). Most of the respondents (> 86%) took training sessions on 'proper hand washing' and 'proper food storage temperatures', whereas less than 60% had training on 'monitoring procedures and corrective actions at critical control points'. The mean score of their food safety knowledge was 8.02 out of 11. The majority of the employees knew correctly 'potentially hazardous foods (93.2%)' and 'diseases and symptoms with which they are excluded from working (87.0%)'; less than 50% chose a correct answer for 'sanitizing food contact surfaces.' A chi-square analysis revealed that the employees' actual knowledge did not differ significantly by whether they had food safety training (at the level of a =0.01), except one topic 'diseases and symptoms with which they are excluded from working.' Their self-reported practice scores were rated as 2.98 - 3.39 based on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1-not at all, 5-always). Employees' food safety training should be conducted continuously and repetitively to improve the effectiveness of the training.

We investigate several eruptive hot plasma observations by Hinode/XRT. Their corresponding EUV and/or white light CME features are visible in some events. Using those observations, we determine the mass constraints of eruptive plasma by assuming simplified geometrical structures of the plasma. In some events, their associated prominence eruptions and eruptive plasma were observed in EUV observations as absorption or emission features. The absorption feature provides the lower limit to the cold mass while the emission feature provides the upper limit to the mass of observed eruptive plasma in X-ray and EUV passbands. We compare the mass constraints for each temperature responses and find that the mass in EUV and XRT are smaller in their upper or lower limit than total mass in coronagraph. About half eruptive events in XRT have no corresponding CME, which may be due to failed eruptions or low plasma density. In addition, some events were observed by a few passbands in X-ray, which allows the determination of the eruptive plasma temperature using a filter ratio method. We present the isothermal plasma temperatures by the filter ratio method. These are possibly an average temperature for higher temperature plasma because the XRT is more sensitive in higher temperature.

This research aims to examine the impact of store personality and service quality on the customers' intention of revisiting the department store and their intention of recommendation to others. The participants were women in their 20s to 50s with experiences of purchasing apparel from major department stores. A total of 324 survey responses were used for the final analysis. The data were analyzed using factors analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple regression analysis with PASW 18.0. The results were as follows. First, the department store personality was composed of 3 factors; prestige, passion, sincerity. Service quality factors were defined as tangibility, responsiveness, and empathy. Second, the three dimensions of brand personality-prestige, passion and sincerity turned out to be influential factors affecting the customers' revisiting intention and recommendation intention. Also, tangibility and responsiveness of service quality factors had a significant influence on their revisiting intention, whereas tangibility, responsiveness and empathy factors had a significant influence on their recommendation intention. Third, the sub-dimensions of store personality and service quality had a different influence on the customers' revisiting intention and recommendation intention according to the department store brand.

The purpose of this study was to investigate Chinese women’s clothing purchase behavior and satisfaction for clothing made in Korea. Data was collected from Chinese women who had made purchases of Koreanmanufactured clothing using the Chinese online shopping mall named ‘TaoBao’. In total, the responses of 439 questionnaires were tabulated and analyzed using the SPSS program 12.0. Results were as follows: 1) Shopping motivation was classified based on two factors: transformation motivation and information motivation. Most Chinese women who purchased clothing made in Korea did so because of information motivation. Results showed that the place of manufacturing origin(i..e Korea) did not negatively impact Korean clothing products at this online shopping mall. 2) Purchase satisfaction was influenced by three factors: quality satisfaction, wearing/management satisfaction, and design satisfaction. Most Chinese women were satisfied with clothing made in Korea in terms of the design factor. 3) There were correlations among Chinese women’s shopping motivation and purchase satisfaction for clothing made in Korea.

Sleep is associated with definite changes in respiratory function in normal human beings. During sleep, there is loss of voluntary control of breathing and a decrease in the usual ventilatory response to both low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels. Especially, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a distinct neurophysiological state associated with significant changes in breathing pattern and ventilatory control as compared with both wakefulness and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. REM sleep is characterized by erratic, shallow breathing with irregularities both in amplitude and frequency owing to marked reduction in intercostal and upper airway muscle activity. These blunted ventilatory responses during sleep are clinically important. They permit marked hypoxemia that occurs during REM sleep in patients with lung or chest wall disease. In addition, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is more frequent and longer and hypoventilation is more pronounced during REM sleep. Although apneic episodes are most frequent and severe during REM sleep, most adults spend less than 20 to 25% of total sleep time in REM sleep. It is, therefore, possible for patients to have frequent apneas and hypopneas during REM sleep and still have a normal apnea-hypopnea index if the event-rich REM periods are diluted by event-poor periods of NREM sleep. In this review, we address respiratory physiology according to sleep stage, and the clinical implications of SDB and hypoventilation aggravated during REM sleep.

In this paper, a structural design method of a smart tuned mass damper (TMD) for a retractable-roof spatial structure under earthquake excitation was proposed. For this purpose, a retractable-roof spatial structure was simplified to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) model. Dynamic characteristics of a retractable-roof spatial structure is changed based on opened or closed roof condition. This condition was considered in the numerical simulation. A magnetorheological (MR) damper was used to compose a smart TMD and a displacement based ground-hook control algorithm was used to control the smart TMD. The control effectiveness of a smart TMD under harmonic and earthquake excitation were evaluated in comparison with a conventional passive TMD. The vibration control robustness of a smart TMD and a passive TMD were compared along with the variation of natural period of a simplified structure. Dynamic responses of a smart TMD and passive TMD under resonant harmonic excitation and earthquake load were compared by varying mass ratio of TMD to total mass of the simplified structure. The design procedure proposed in this study is expected to be used for preliminary design of a smart TMD for a retractable-roof spatial structure.

In order to investigate the effects of YOOKMIJIHWANGTANG, GAMIJIHWANGTANG and PALMIJIHWANGTANG on the various immune responses, the chemotactic, adherent, nitric oxide release ability of macrophages were studied in vivo and in vitro. The results obtained were follows : 1. The total number of peritoneal exudate cells from mice injected with three drugs were 2~3 times more than those from the PBS. 2. The administration of three drugs enhanced significantly the Fc receptor mediated activity(phagocytosis, rosette formation activity). 3. The administration of three drugs enhanced significantly the chemotactic activity of peritoneal macrophages. 4. The administration of three drugs enhanced significantly the adherent activity of macrophages and neutrophils. 5. The administration of GAMIJIHWANGTANG and PALMIJIHWANGTANG enhanced significantly the chemotatic activity of macrophages (p<0.01). And also the administration of YOOKMIJIHWANGTANG enhanced significantly the chemotatic activity of macrophages(p<0.05). 6. The administration of GAMIJIHWANGTANG and enhanced significantly the chemotatic activity of neutrophils(p<0.01). And also the administration of YOOKMIJIHWANGTANG and PALMIJIHWANGTANG enhanced significantly the chemotatic activity of neutrophils(p<0.05). From above findings, it is suggested that YOOKMIJDTWANGTANG, GAMIJIHWANGTANG and PALMIJIHWANGTANG seems to produce the increase of immune response such as the Fc receptor activity, chemotactic activity, adherent activity, nitrate release of macrophages. From the above results, the GAMIJIHWANGTANG among three drugs may be the most useful drug having immunostimulating effects.

In Korea, recent trends indicate an increase in the volume of the functional clothing market. This study investigated the evaluative criteria and information sources of functional clothing according to gender and age. A total of 756 responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, MANOVA, and Duncan's test. The main effect of gender on the evaluative criteria and information sources of functional clothing was identified. Compared with male consumers, female consumers gave more importance to price and aesthetic criteria. Female consumers take advice from colleagues and companions, as well as use information obtained from mass media to a greater extent than male consumers. Age was seen to have an effect on evaluative criteria and information sources in purchasing functional clothing. Respondents in their forties and fifties took textile quality and durability more seriously. Information available on the Internet and following the dressing styles of celebrities were preferred by respondents in their twenties.
