We use a Markov chain model to analyze the Korean Baseball League. We derive the distributions of the number of runs scored and the number of batters that complete their turn at bat in a baseball game using the time inhomogeneous Markov chain. The model is tested with real data produced from the 2011 Korean Baseball League.

The Pythagorean formula for baseball postulated by James (1982) indicates the winning percentage as a function of runs scored and runs allowed. However sometimes, the Pythagorean formula gives a less accurate estimate of winning percentage. We use the records of team vs team historic win loss records of Korean professional baseball clubs season from 2005 and 2014. Using assumption that the difference between winning percentage and pythagorean expectation are affected by unusual distribution of runs scored and allowed, we suppose that difference depends on mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of runs scored per game and runs allowed per game, respectively. In conclusion, the discrepancy is mainly related to the coefficient of variation and standard deviation for run allowed per game regardless of run scored per game.

G-SEED(Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design) is the certification system to evaluate environmental friendliness of buildings for the purpose of reducing environmental burden generated from the entire process of buildings, which is classified into 4 grades according to the evaluated score. Green building certification rule regulate to get over green 2nd grade for the public office buildings of $3000m^2$ or more. However, detailed measures on the applied level of each issue to obtain targeted certification grade have not been prepared yet. For each issue, the score distribution and the ratio of score in proportion to credit were analyzed by certification grade for office buildings which get the G-SEED certification. And applied level of issues were presented for each certification grade.

본 연구는 MEQ(Morning-Evening Questionnire)와 수면습관 설문지를 이용하여 일본 시모노세끼 시내의 20개 사업장 1143명(남 682명, 여 461명), 한국은 마산,창원 인근의 62개 사업장 1148명(남 1038명, 여 110명)의 작업자를 대상으로 일본어판 한국판 아침-저녁형 및 생활습관 조사를 실시했다. 그러나 한국 작업자 집단의 남녀간 자료수의 차이가 너무 커 본 연구에서는 여성의 자료는 제외하고 한국과 일본의 남성에 대해서만 분석했다. 한.일 근무자 모두 ME 득점은 연령이 높아짐에 따라 이침형 쪽으로 이동되어 분포했고, 양국의 평균 ME 득점은 한국의 경우가 일본보다 어느 연령층이나 유의하게 낮았다. 연령을 5개그룹(24세 이하, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55세 이상)으로 크로조타입을 3개 집단(아침형, 중간형 저녁형)으로 분류한 뒤 수면습관을 검토한 결과 한국과 일본의 작업자 집단 모두 연령이 높아질수록 기상 및 취침시각이 빠르고 각 연령층에서도 아참형이 저녁형보다 빠른 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고 일본의 경우 평일의 수면시간은 연령에 따라 길어지고, 각 연령층에서도 아침형보다 저녁형이 짧지만 한국은 그런 경향 을 보이지 않았다. 또한 일본의 작업자가 한국의 작업자보다 취침시간은 빠르고, 기상시간은 늦은 경향을 보이고 있었다. 이러한 현상은 문화나 생활습관의 차이 때문으로 보인다. 이러한 결과에서 연령이 높아 짐에 따라 아침형 쪽으로 변화하며 생체리듬의 위상이 전진한다는 것을 추측할 수 있다.

In baseball game, the hitting ability of batter is frequently assessed by a batting average, a run batted in, a home run, a run scored, an on-base percentage, etc. Recently, more comprehensive indicators such as OPS, ISO, SECA, TA, RC and XR are often used. But, these measures generally shows large deviations since they are calculated from the data for a certain period of time, and they are not an estimate of a population parameter, either. In this paper, we will presume the pure hitting ability of the korea professional baseball players as a parameter which is depend upon at bat. We will estimate the parameter by using the Bayesian method.

When viewing that since the 1990s local governments have tried to build golf courses as a plan to revitalize the attraction of home and abroad tourists and to increase their tax incomes and that big companies are interested in leisure business including golf courses as a future promising business in the 21st century, golf courses seem to continuously increase in the future. On the contrary, noticing that golf courses are not only the main culprit behind the damage of natural environment and environmental pollution but also a target of real estate speculation and that golf makes a sense of incongruity between the classes of a society as a luxury sports, environment activists and local residents raise criticism to golf. Golf in our country shows a special sports phenomenon of which the pros and cons appear continuously. So, it is judged that policy for golf development direction should be set up based on verified scientific data. Thus, the research aims at deriving the location types of golf courses by looking at laws from the period of formation of the initial domestic golf courses to the recent period, grasping their distribution status according to time series and regions, conducting a questionnaire survey regarding location factors for golfers and the workers of golf courses, and dividing golf courses into several types. It is expected that the research will be a fundamental material when a golf course is built later on, contributing to the research of golf courses.

Objectives : The purposes of this study were to estimate the prevalence rate of eating disorders in Korean males and to clarify their characteristics in sociodemograhic data, the eating traits, and general psychopathology through the comparison with those of female high scored group on the Korean version of Eating Attitudes Test-26(KEAT-26). Methods : Using a multi-stage questionnaire sampling method including area sampling, proportionated stratified sampling, and quota sampling, we surveyed a total of 4,400 Korean adults over 18 in a nationwide area(9 kus, 10 middle or small cities, and 17 kuns), obtaining usable responses on 3,896. Of the 3,062 subjects(1249 males and 1813 females) who were available for analysis, we ascertained 52 males and 208 females who had high score($\geq$ cutoff point 21) on the KEAT-26. Results : 1) The proportion of this high score group was 1.7% in male and 6.8% in female with a sex ratio(male versus female) of 1 : 4. 2) The mean age was higher in the male group than in the female group, although it was not statistically significant(p=0.0514). Mean Body Mass Index(BMI) of the male group was significantly higher than that of female group, and the number of male subjects with below 20 of BMI was also significantly lower than in the female group. 3) There were no significant difference in past history of physical illness between two groups. However, frequency of smoking and alcohol use, and mean amount of alcohol consumption per month were significantly higher in the male group than in the female group. There were no significant differences between the two groups on various socio-demographic correlates such as economic status, total duration of education, number of family, marital status, religious status, and area of residence, but the exception of being occupational status. 4) The 'Eating Habits Scale' score and score of 'preference for vegetables and fish, and dislike for sweet-tasting food' of the male group were significantly lower than those of the female group. Although there was no significant difference between the two groups in total scores of the KEAT-26, the mean score on 'pursuit of thinness' subscale was higher in the female group than in the male group, while scores of 'food preoccupation' and 'self-control' subscales were higher in the male group than in the female group. 5) Scores on 'psychoticism' was significantly higher in the male group than in the female group, although there were no significant differences between the two groups on 'locus of control for weight', 'depression' and 'hypochondriasis'. Conclusion : These results support a possibility of a high prevalence of eating disorders in Korean males. These results suggest that eating related characteristics of high scorer on the EAT are different by sex in spite of the same high score on the EAT, and also suggest that male patients with eating disorders have more serious personality pathology than female patients with eating disorders.

The authors studied paranoid ideation and obsession, using Derogatis s' SCL-90, in the subjects of 2,564 male and 1,252 female college freshmen of Yeungnam University. The authors collected the reports of Self-Rating Paranoid ideation and Obsession Scale during the periods from January to February, 1987, and applied ANOVA and t-test on paranoid ideation and obsession scores in order to compare them between various psychosocial factors, and sexes. The results are as follows: 1. There was not significant difference in the mean averages of total paranoid ideation scores between male and female students : male students scored $4.16{\pm}3.09$, female students scored $4.16{\pm}2.91$. 2. High scored items were delusion and suspiciousness. 3. Fifty-nine male students (2.3%) showed high paranoid ideation scores of 12 or higher, while twenty-six female students(2.1%) showed the same scores. 4. There was strong tendency toward higher paranoid ideation scores in the students who were dissatisfied with their home atmosphere, college, department and familiarity of parents and those who had pessimistic view of self in the past, present or future in both group(respectively P<0.001). The male students who believed protestantism showed higher level of paranoid ideation scores (P<0.01). The male students who attened the department of fine art showed higher level of paranoid ideation scores (P<0.05). 5. There was significant difference in the mean averages of total obsession scores between male and female students (P<0.05) : male students scored $10.40{\pm}5.43$, female students scored $10.75{\pm}5.02$. 6. High scored Items were perfectionism, indecisiveness, inattention & obsessive thoughts. 7. Thirty-eight male students(1.6%) showed high obsession scores of 25 or higher, while fifteen female students(1.2%) showed the same scores. 8. There was strong tendency toward higher obsession scores in the students who were dissatisfied with their home atmosphere, college, department and familiarity of parents and those who had pessimistic view of self in the past, present, or future in both group(respectively P<0.001). The female students who attended the department of home economics & whose educational fees were paid by her brothers & sister, showed higher level of obsession scores(respectively P<0.01).

Field survey on the marine environmental characteristics by the distribution of dinoflagellate cysts and organic matter carried out bimonthly at 14 stations in the central parts of South Sea, Korea from April 2002 to January 2003. The range of environmental factors on surface sediments such as water content, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (CODs), particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen (PON) and phaeopigment were $38.7\~68.9\%,\;3.9\~12.5\%,\;9.60\~44.05mgO_2\;gdry^{-1},\;3.12\~13.14mgC\; gdry^{-1},\;0.49\~2.01mgN\;gdry^{-1}\;and\;1.61\~29.51{\mu}g\;gdry^{-1}\;gdry-1$, respectively. A total dinoflagellate cysts identified were 33 species, which belonged to 18 genera,31 species, and 2 unidentified species. A cysts density were $42\~2,880\; cysts\;gdry^{-1}$. The dominant species of dinoflagellate cysts were Spinrferites bulloideus and Scrippsiella trochoidea all the year and autotrophic species was more abundant than heterotrophic species. The organic matter and dinoflgellate cysts were more abundant nearshore than offshore, and the origin of organic matter was autochthonous rather than from terrestrial. The two factors derived from the loading factor of PCA. Factor 1 was 'accumulation of oragnic matter in the offshore', factor 2 was 'cysts abundance', and the central parts of Korean South Sea was separated with 3 regions by score distribution of PCA.

This paper described the spatio-temporal distributions in the phytoplankton community, such as species composition, standing crops, and dominant species, from July 2012 to April 2013 in the Coastal Waters of Central South Sea (CWoCSS) of Korea. A total of 87 species of phytoplankton belonging to 52 genera were identified. In particular, diatoms and phytoflagellates comprised more than 62.1% and 37.9% of the total species, respectively. The phytoplankton cell density fluctuated with an annual mean of $7.9{\times}10^4cells{\cdot}L^{-1}$ between the lowest value of $1.0{\times}10^3cells{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in spring and the highest value of $4.5{\times}10^5cells{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in winter. The seasonal succession of the dominant species were Chaetoceros curvisetus, Ch. debilis in summer, Eucampia zodiacus in autumn, E. zodiacus, Thalassiosira curviseriata in winter and Skeletonema costatum -ls (like species), Leptocylindrus danicus in spring. According to principal component analysis, the phytoplankton community of the CWoCSS was characterized by the mixing rate between the freshwater inflow from Somjin River and the seawater of the South Sea, Korea.
