Pasting properties of 35 traditional (Japonica) and 23 high-yielding (J/Indica) rice varieties having various hydration rates at $23^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Amylograms showed that high-yielding rice varieties had higher values for peak (P), hot-paste (H) and cold-paste (C) viscosities than those for traditional rice varieties. P had a highly negative correlation with H/P, C/P and C/H. P of traditional rice varieties was positively and negatively correlated with protein amylose contents, respectively. However, H and C showed no correlation with protein or amylose content. No correlation was observed between amylograph indices and hydration rate of rice grain.

Pine (Pinus densiflora) forests of 58 sites on the ridge of the Baekdudaegan, South Korea were classified by applying the phytosociological method and TWINSPAN. The floristic composition and life-form characteristics of the vegetation types analyzed and documented. The vegetation types were classified into five groups including four groups of Carex humilis var nana type and one group of Abies koreana-Sasa borealis type. Compositae was the most diverse family (26 species), Liliaceae (21 species), Rosaceae (18 species) and Betulaceae (11 species) whereas 27 families were represented by only one species. Taxonomically, Compositae was the most diverse (17 genera), Liliaceae and Rosaceae(12 genera) whereas 41 families were represented by only one genus. The Fagaceae was the most important family in total coverage (19.0) and followed Pinaceae (16.7) and Ericaceae (15.1). Five families such as Compositae, Liliaceae, Rosaceae, Betulaceae, and Umbelliferae contributed little to total coverage, although represented by numerous species. In the correlation between species richness and life forms, the species richness was highly correlated with growth and disseminule forms. In general, the correlation coefficients between life forms represented lower values than those between species richness and life-forms.

The present study analyzes the main factor having an effect on the convergence dental hygienist's self-esteem through the survey to them. A self-leadership and professional self-conception show meaningful result with higher score in the group with higher self-respect than that of lower one(p<.001). Also the higher hygienist's self-esteem, the higher clinic practice ability(p<.01). There is negative correlation with self-esteem in emotional labor(p<.01) and exhaustion(p<.01). However, the positive correlations are presented in self-leadership(p<.01), professional self-conception(p<.01) and clinic practice ability(p<.01) with self-respect. The factors influenced on self-esteem are clinic practice ability(p<.05) and exhaustion(p<.01). In results, the organized convergence program and education considering self-esteem in the hospital should be accomplished systemically to enhance the clinic practice ability of each hygienist.

This study examined the correlation between college students' unemployment stress and affecting factors including physical symptoms, mental health, and self-esteem. In the results, students appeared to have more stress when they were female, in higher grades, in low satisfaction in their school life, in the lack of leisure time, in inadequate preparation for employment, and when they had none of those who could share their feeling on unemployment than students in the opposite situations. Students' physical and mental health had a positive relation with unemployment stress, and self esteem had a negative relation with unemployment stress. After multivariate analysis, the factors affecting unemployment stress were senior grade and depression. On the other hand, the factors predicting low umemployment stress were male sex, high level of self esteem, and satisfaction in preparation for employment. Therefore, the counselling program for employment preparation should include intervention strategies for enhancing self-esteem besides providing with information of employment.

The relationship between morphological characteristics and sensibility of hands for beautiful hands were investigated for college woman in early twenties. Hand Emotional Quotient (HEQ) which is classified as 10 grades was newly suggested as one of the sensibility evaluation methods for the beautiful hands and was applied to assess the qualitative and quantitative relationships between morphological characteristics and HEQ. The factors influenced on the HEQ were in order as width-length ratio of hands, finger length-hand length and finger width-hand length ratios. Otherwise the influences of hand length-nail length and finger length-nail length ratios on HEQ were insignificant. The longer length of hand, finger, and nail and the narrower width of hand and finger, the higher HEQ hands get. In conclusion, it is found that all morphologic characteristics of hands influenced on the sensitivity synthetically. The data constructed on the hand's sensibility is very useful for various beauty products and service areas related to hands.

This research was conducted to find out the relation between sensory processing ability and Interpersonal Problem of university students. The subjects were 177 university students whose curricula were similar. The researchers made the subjects fill out the Adolescent/Adult sensory profile and Korean inventory of interpersonal problem(KIIP). The analysis of the relevancy between the Adolescent/Adult profile and the Interpersonal problem showed that 'Low Registration' is related to all aspects of KIIP. 'Sensation Seeking' showed relation with Domineering/Controlling(r=0.150, p<0.05), self sacrificing(r=0.175, p<0.05), Intrusive (r=0.218, p<0.01), Interpersonal sensitivity(r=0.196, p<0.01), and Need for social approval(r=0.149, p<0.05). 'Sensation Sensitivity' showed relation with all aspects of KIIP. 'Sensation avoiding' showed relatively high relation with Domineering/ Controlling(r=0.403, p<0.01), Vindictive(r=0.420, p<0.01), Interpersonal ambivalence (r=0.452, p<0.01), and aggression(r=0.417, p<0.01). Through this research, it turned out that 'Sensory Processing ability' and the Interpersonal Problem are generally related, especially 'Low Registration' and 'Sensation Sensitivity' are highly related to the Interpersonal Problem.

A number of estimation of distribution algorithms have been proposed that do not use explicitly crossover and mutation of traditional genetic algorithms, but estimate the distribution of population for more efficient search. But because it is not easy to discover higher-order correlations of variables, lower-order correlations are estimated most cases under various constraints. In this paper, we propose a new estimation of distribution algorithm that represents higher-order correlations of the data and finds global optimum more efficiently. The proposed algorithm represents the higher-order correlations among variables by building random hypergraph model composed of hyperedges consisting of variables which are expected to be correlated, and generates the next population by Bayesian sampling algorithm Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can find global optimum and outperforms the simple genetic algorithm and BOA(Bayesian Optimization Algorithm) on decomposable functions with deceptive building blocks.

The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine whether there are significant relations among rankings of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation. For this purpose, the study uses the KWAH-4 method developed by the Web Accessibility Laboratory in Korea, website evaluation method developed by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), and the cross-efficiency model for 13 Asian container seaports including Korean, Chinese, and Japanese main ports in 3 years (2009, 2010, and 2013) using data for two cases: three inputs (depth, total area, and number of crane) and one output (TEU) in the first case and three inputs and two outputs (TEU and BDC overall score) in the second case. The main empirical results are as follows. First, the ranking orders of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation overall scores are not significantly correlated with each other. Second, if the BDC overall score is included in the output element, the correlation results are improved. However, the correlation coefficient is still low. The container port policy planners should introduce and consider the web accessibility and website evaluation scores when evaluating an efficiency-increasing plan for Korea's main container ports.

This study was carried out to evaluate the correlation between shear force determined by tenderness analyzer and grade decision factors consisting of yield grade (carcass weight, ribeye area, backfat thickness) and quality grade (meat color, fat color, marbling, maturity, texture) in a total of 200 Hanwoo cows. Results showed that there was a negative correlation between shear force and yield grade (r=-0.186, p<0.01), i.e., when the grade of carcass yield increased (A score), the shear force value decreased. Shear force scores showed a significant correlation with marbling scores (r=-0.19, p<0.01), but no correlation with scores of meat color, fat color and texture. The maturity of Hanwoo cows is known to be one of the major factors for evaluating the grade, and the maturity showed no significant correlation with shear force value (r=-0.05, p>0.05). It is possible to get useful information for evaluating the grade of Hanwoo cows if further studies addressing the correlation of water holding capacity, juiciness, taste and overall acceptability with maturity are carried out.
