80년대 골드랫 박사에 의해 이론이 소개된 이후, 북미와 유럽 지역에서 많은 학자와 기업가들에 의해 연구, 현장에 적용되면서 오늘날 경영혁신 기법들을 주도하는 이론으로 자리잡은 제약이론(Theory of Constraints)은 최근에야 비로소 국내에 소개되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 소개된 대부분의 연구가 TOC를 구성하는 여러 엔진 중 DBR에 국한된 것들이며, DBR 스케줄링 역시 아직은 이론적 연구에 그치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 여러 DBR 스케줄링 연구에서 보여진 한계, 즉 제약자원을 선정하는 데 있어, 자원이 가진 부하비율(부하/능력)만을 선정의 기준으로 고려하는 것에서 벗어나 실제 생산현장에 존재할 수 있는 여러 요소를 고려한 스케줄링 방법을 제시하였다. 각 제약자원들의 중요도를 고려하는데 있어서, 객관적 요소와 주관적 요소를 분류한 후 여러 전문가가 각각의 주관적 요소에 부여된 값을 다구찌 기법에서 이용하는 SN비로 계산하고 그 값들을 정규화 하였고, 주관적 요소와 객관적 요소를 위한 가중치 또한 SN비로 계산하고 그 값들을 정규화하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 여러 요소들을 고려한 제약자원의 결정에 있어서 다른 요소들에 대한 다수의 전문가의 의견 통합을 시도하였고, 동시에 제약자원 결정에 있어서 임의의 요소에 전문가들이 부여한 값들의 평균이 크고 그 값들이 차이가 적은 즉, 거의 일치한 평가를 내리는 자원을 제약으로 선정하고 스케줄링하는 방법을 시도하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the status and the life satisfaction of amputees from July 9, 2001 to August 18, 2001. Questionnaire survey was collected from lower extremity amputees using the services of prosthetic and orthotic centers in five Veterans Hospitals (Seoul, Busan, Gwangju, Daeku, and Daejun), Seoul Tehlin prosthetic and orthotic center, Chunan prosthetic and orthotic center, and Junju Lee Ganga rehabilitation institute. Amputees were grouped as trans-tibial amputees, trans-femoral amputees, and bilateral amputees based on amputation level. Demographic and social characteristics, performance of social role, and factors influencing life satisfaction revealed findings as follows: 1) The number of subjects voluntarily participated in the study was 113 (109 men, 4 women), and the mean age of subjects was 53.65 years (age range=22-74 years). 2) The time of amputation was at their second decade mostly (72.6%), and the most common etiology of amputation was trauma (91.2%). 3) The most common type of amputation was trans-tibial amputation (59.3%). Subjects who were employed was 68.1% before amputation and 47.8% after amputation. Subject had income regardless of being employed or unemployed after amputation. 4) No significant difference was found between the scores of social role and the scores of life satisfaction in three groups(p<0.05). 5) The significant factors on life satisfaction was income status and occupational role among variables(p<0.05).

Activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (I-ADL) are tasks of self-care, functional mobility, functional communication, home management, and community living that enable an individual to achieve personal independence. The purpose of this study were to investigate the effect of factors on ADL in stroke patients and to identify the relationship between the function of upper extremities and ability of ADL. Thirty-one stroke patients participated in this study. The results of this study were as follows: 1) There were significant functional gains between admission and discharge on the MFT score, dexterity, and the motor FIM(p<0.01). 2) There were moderate correlation between MFT score of the non-affected side and motor FIM score at discharge(r=0.499, p<0.01) and high negative correlation between dexterity of non-affected hand and motor FIM score at discharge(r=-0.704, p<0.01). 3) There was a significant difference on motor FIM score among academic background groups (p<0.01). 4) There was no significant difference on motor FIM score among caregiver groups (p<0.01). 5) Four factors were found. one factor comprised dexterity of non-affected hand at admission and discharge and duration of treatment. Two factor comprised MFT of non-affected side at admission and discharge and academic background. Three factor comprised MFT of affected side at admission and discharge and caregiver. Four factor comprised sex and affected side.

One hundred twenty five bacterial isolates were obtained from the brown blotch-diseased oyster mushrooms collected from markets. Among them, 45 were determined as pathogenic bacteria and white line foaming organisms(WLFO) were 6 strains and white line reaction organisms (WLRO) were 6 strains. All of the white line forming isolates were identified as Pseudomonas tolaasii which is a known pathogen of brown blotch disease of oyster mushroom by GC-MIS(Gas chromatography-microbial identification system). Six of the white line reacting organisms were identified as P. chlornraphis, P. fluorescens biotype A and type C. The rest of them were P. gingeri, P. agarici, P. fluorescens biotype B, P. chlororaphis, non-pathogenic P. tolaasii, P. putida biotype A and B etc. For spectnun of activity of tolaasin, culture filtrates from pathogenic isolates were examined by browning of mushroom tissue and pitting of mushroom caps. The weak pathogenic bacteria didn't induce browning or pitting of mushroom tissue. On the other hand, strong pathogenic isolates showed browning and pitting reaction on mushroom. An extracellular toxin produced by P. tolaasii, was investigated. The hemolysis activity test of 6 strains identified as P. tolaasii were 0.80.9 at 600 nm and 3 strains of WLRO were 0.9-1.0 and Pseudomonas spp. were 1.0-1.2. Observation of fresh mushroom tissue using confocal laser scanning microscopy was carried out for images of optical sectioning and vertical sectioning. Also images of brown blotch diseased oyster mushroom tissue after contamination P. tolaasii was obtained by CLSM.

The production results of the oriental functional beverage, which is aimed at reducing the alcohol concentration in blood, are as follows. Different kinds of herb medicine ingredients were combined to achieve the balance between Yin and Yang. They were grouped according to their respective characteristics and extracted by heat. Then they were combined and produced following the most effective mixture ratio. The drink produced by this way consisted mainly of water. Sugar, mineral, protein and fiber were partially contained. Among the minerals, the proportion of calcium, potassium, magnesium was high and iron was also contained. This drink turned out to be effective in reducing the alcohol concentration in blood within a very short time when it was taken once after drinking and taken again 30 minutes later, which would double the dosage. This result shows that development of such a functional beverage using the herbal medicine. At the same time it will play an important part in reducing the alcohol concentrate in blood after drinking liquors.

Various sterilization methods were applied to the powder of ginseng for the improving hygienic quality. Ultra-violet (UV) and Infrared ray (IR) treatments could not inhibit highly growth of bacteria in ginseng powder. However, high hydrostatic pressure treatment showed high inhibition rate against bacterial growth in ginseng powder. Changes of viable cell count by the pressure showed positive relationship between growth inhibition rates and the pressures applied. When powder was treated with 2,000 kg/㎠ for 10 min at 25℃, initial viable cell count of the powder, 2.0 × 10⁴ CFU/g, was decreased to 1.0 × 10⁴ CFU/g. When it treated with 3,000, 4,000 and s,000 kg/㎠ of pressures under the same condition, viable cell counts were 8.0 × 10³, 7.0 × 10³ and 1.8 × 10³ CFU/g, respectively. Ginseng saponins of the powders were all detected when analyzed by TLC chromatography after treatment with the pressures. Therefore, it was considered that saponin of ginseng powder was stable under the condition of 5,000 kg/㎠ of pressure, even though the treatment induced coagulation of the powder.
