Purpose: The daily changes of accommodation at period 1 (08:00~10:00), period 2 (13:00~15:00) and period 3 (18:00~20:00) were surveyed with fifty two incipient presbyopia of from 38 to 49 years old. Methods: 52 incipient presbyopia subjects (30 men, 22 women) were classified into 4 groups (groupI: ${\geq}$ 7 hrs~group IV: < 3 hrs) according to near working amount. Their amplitude of accommodation, accommodative facility and relative amplitude of accommodation were inspected, respectively. Results: The amplitude of accommodation was measured to be the lowest for the groupI that near working time was the most during daily work, and the amplitude of accommodation of oculus dexter, oculus sinister and oculus uterque were the highest at period 2 in case of all the group I~IV. In the accommodative facility, it appeared that the oculus dexter, oculus sinister and oculus uterque of group I, oculus dexter and oculus sinister of group II, and oculus dexter, oculus sinister and oculus uterque of group III were the highest at period 2. The oculus uterque of group II and oculus dexter, oculus sinister and oculus uterque of group IV were the highest accommodative facility at period 3. It appeared that the negative relative accommodation was the highest at period 1 in case of all the group I~IV, and the positive relative accommodation was the highest at period 2 in case of the group I~III and was the highest at period 3 in case of the group IV. Conclusions: Because the difference of near working time affects the accommodation, it would become a help in solving the asthenopia symptom of the incipient presbyopia that opticians consider their near working time during daily work and take a checkup on their accommodation.

Using six preservice teachers as subjects, this was purpose to research about concepts in understanding carbon cycle, which of concepts were related to the conception of the system, and finally whether or not the systems thinking was sufficiently around carbon cycle. To achieve this study purpose , an instrument related to carbon cycle was developed and administered to the six teachers. The study found that a total of 42 conceptions within the system were concepts related to carbon cycle. The consisted of 15 conceptions in atmosphere, 11 in atmosphere 9 in hydrosphere, and 7 in lithosphere. In aspect of applying the system thinking, 4 subjects who couldn't compose the feedback loop in their causal map failed to apply this type of thinking. The other two who applied systems thinking had 2 and 1 feedback loop each, in their causal maps. But, one of the feedback loop from the subject who made two was based on unscientific reasoning. As a result, the subjects had lower understanding of concepts related to carbon cycle in lithosphere than in atmosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Futhermore, the subjects' application of the earth systems thinking on carbon was at a low standard.

The effects of fruit bagging time, bag kinds, and plant oil treatment on fruit cracking, pathogenic decay, and quality in grapevines were studied. The occurrence of cracking fruit was not affect by bag kinds in 'Campbell Early'. But, bitter rot occurrence in 'Campbell Early' and occurrence of cracking fruit and bitter rot in 'Wase Campbell Early' decreased effectively compared the ones of conventional bag, window bag, calcium coated bag to non-bagging. The cracking fruit occurrence of and 'Kyoho' decreased significantly by bagging to each before July 5 of 'Campbell Early' and before June 29 and July 5 of 'Kyoho' grapevines. The cracking fruit and bitter rot occurrence by plant oil treatment decreased significantly in 'Wase Campbell Early', and increased calcium of fruit skin in 'Campbell Early'. The soluble solids in fruits were much reduced by window bag and the Hunter b value in fruit skin was reduced by calcium coated bag. Accordingly, treatment of Ca-coated bag and plant oil was become judgment to reduction effect of cracking fruit.

The blue-color emitting phosphor powder, $CaMgSi_{2}O_6:Eu^{2+}(CMS:Eu^{2+})$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The synthesized powder was annealed from room temperature to $1,100^{\circ}C$ in air. Its PL property and valence state of Eu atoms was measured by the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers, respectively. The PL intensity was stable to $700^{\circ}C$, but drastically decreased to $1,100^{\circ}C$. The behavior of EPR intensity was very similar to the PL intensity. The EPR measurement showed that decreased intensity of the PL was caused to the oxidation from the ion $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The EPR spectrometer was powerful as a tool that could distinguish between the valence states of Eu atom as a dopant in various phosphors.

In 2026, in ten years from now, Korea is expected to enter into a super aged society. By facing this social phenomenon, analyzing the elderlies and preparing measures are needed among society. In the transportation field, the traffic accidents which are related to the elderly pedestrians have drastically increased so that R&D projects and policy supplementations are introduced. However very few base studies on which focused on the behavior, capability, impact factors analysis of for elderly pedestrians are conducted. To determine the walking capability, this study divided the walking capability into 3 three categories - general, health and exercise. It carries out the comprehensive survey targeting 52 elderlies with the average age of 72.6 years and this survey is made up of total 12 factors in the 3 three categories. This survey also is conducted with various measuring devices and methods such as interview, National Fitness Award, SPBB, Cybex and the like for. From the 12 detailed factors, the general factors such as age, physical shape and so forth have little impact on the walking speed. However the factors that have the greatest impact on the walking speed are extensor muscle on lower limbs in the health factors and balance, coordination, and SPPB in the exercise factors. With these results, this study develops the independent walking model which can measure the walking capability of the elderly people. The developed model is expected to be utilized as the base study for elderly's walking patterns in the transportation field by examining the walking capability of the older people.

In the case of the UHP (Ultra high performance) tire that the demand has increased rapidly, compared with the commonly used tire, severe deformation has been observed because of the low aspect ratio. When repeated deformations are applied to the sidewall rubber, accumulated fatigue damage may cause fatigue failure. Thus, the evaluation of the durability of the tire sidewall rubber has become a very important issue to prevent accidents that occur while the vehicle is running. However, the research and design criteria for the durability performance of the tire sidewall rubber hardly exist. In this study, we suggest a lifetime prediction formula using strain energy density obtained by performing tensile tests and fatigue tests on two different kinds of the tire sidewall compounds. Additionally, the applicability of our findings for low fuel consumption tires was reviewed by converting the fatigue life of the sidewall rubber into the expected mileage of the tire.
