The methylation score, expressed as a percentage of the methylation status data derived from the iterative sequencing process, has a value between 0 and 1. It is contrary to the assumption of normal distribution that simply applying the t-test to examine the difference in population-specific methylation scores in these data. In addition, since the result may vary depending on the number of repetitions of sequencing in the process of methylation score generation, a method that can analyze such errors is also necessary. In this paper, we introduce the symbolic data analysis and the interval K-S test method which convert observation data into interval data including uncertainty rather than one numerical data. In addition, it is possible to analyze the characteristics of methylation score by using Beta distribution without using normal distribution in the process of converting into interval data. For the data analysis, the nature of the proposed method was examined using sequencing data of actual patients and normal persons. While the t-test is only possible for the location test, it is found that the interval type K-S statistic can be used to test not only the location parameter but also the heterogeneity of the distribution function.

This study aims to analyze the types and roles of visualization materials presented in the third- and fourth-grade national and authorized science textbooks based on the 2015 revised curriculum. Using the type and role framework, 17 chapters were analyzed. The analysis revealed, first, that the national and authorized textbooks had different total amounts of visualization data and total amounts of simple illustrations. However, no difference in the amounts of simple illustrations and infographics used in the units was evident. The units that used the most infographics were Life, Earth and Universe, in that order, in both the national and the authorized textbooks. Second, simple illustrations were observed to have role differences according to the type of visualization data, but infographics had no such differences. Specifically, the motivational role in a simple illustration increased in all the authorized textbooks. Third, looking at the frequencies of the infographic subtypes, the Process, Structure, Comparative Analysis, and Timeline types accounted for 86% of the total, but the proportions of those subtypes varied in the national and authorized textbooks. Based on the results of this study, I suggest that to achieve differentiation in the types or roles of visualization materials, changes in the types, processes, and skills of inquiry must first occur, as must changes in the structure of chapters or lessons. Continuous research and discussion on the standards and methods for authorized textbooks are also needed.

This survey was to realize the foreign cocoon quality and to provide data for suitable reeling conditions. Cocoons were inported from Taiwan (7 packs) and Hongkong (12 packs) in 1983. The practical inspection and classiffication of above cocoon was performed at Provincial Institute of cocoon testing and tested data were collected to evaluate the cocoon quality. The results were as follows. 1. It showed higher variation of the average raw silk yield percentage and cocoon assorting rate than domestic cocoon. 2. In view of the low quality products, cocoon price was expensive and most of packs were evaluated as inferior grade. 3. It was supposed that importing the superior quality cocoon from foreign country may be contributed to manufacturing of silk commodity of higher grade.

The study investigates one of the long-standing, but still controversial issues in modern finance from the international and domestic perspectives. That is, financial components and differences on corporate profitability are identified and compared under the primary hypotheses. Empirical research settings include the sample data as KOSPI-listed chaebol firms, time reference covering the post-era of the global financial turmoil and two differently defined profitability indices measured by the market- and the book-value bases. A majority of total 7 explanatory variables except firm size and leverage ratio reveal their statistically significant power to explain profitability indices for the chaebol firms in the first hypothesis. The results are generally compatible with those obtained from their counterparts of non-chaebol firms. In the second hypothesis applying multinomial logistic model, the chaebol firms are classified into three groups according to the level of profitability. It is then confirmed that variables to represent the market-valued debt ratio, business risk and growth potential are financially discriminating factors among the three groups. The study may provide a new vision to identify financial factors of corporate profitability for Korean chaebol firms after the global financial crisis, which can enhance the benefits of interested parties at the government or corporate level in a virtuous cycle.

Inhibitory substance in the water extracts from lilac(Syringa vulgaris) leaves was determined in terms of the allelopathic chemicals. The water extracts from S. vulgaris leaves inhibited the germination and root growth of Digitaria sanguinalis and L. sativa, indicating that a biological substances are presented in the lilac leaves. The phenolic acids were separated and tentatively identified from S. vulgaris leaves by gas chromatography and there were composed of higher contents of p-coumaric acid, salicylic acid, pyrogallol, and catechol. Polyphenolic compounds such as rutin (5.3%), scopoletin (3.3%), kaempferol (2.9%), and other polyphenolic compotmds were detected from lilac leaves. The mixtures of $10^{-6}M$ of pyrogallol with all the concentrations of catechol had high inhibition of the shoot growth on D. sanguinalis and E. crus-galli regardless of the catechol concentrations.

In this study, the existence of possible deterministic longterm trend of precipitation amount, monthly maximum precipitation, rain day, the number of rain day greater than 20mm, 30mm, and 80mm was analyzed using the Mann-Kendall rank test and the data from 62 stations between 1905 and 2004 in South Korea. Results indicate that the annual and monthly rainfall amount increases and the number of rain days which have more than 80mm rainfall a day, increases. However the number of rain days decreases. Also, monthly trend analysis of precipitation amount and monthly maximum precipitation increases in Jan., May, Jun., Jul., Aug., and Sep. and they decrease in Mar., Apr., Oct., Nov., and Dec. Monthly trend of the number of rain day greater than 20mm, 30mm, and 80mm increases in Jun., Jul., Aug., and Sep. However results of Mann-Kedall test demonstrated that the ratio of stations, which have meaningful longterm trend in the significance level of 90% and 95%, is very low. It means that the random variability of the analyzed precipitation related data is much greater than their linear increment.

This experiment was conducted to detect the presence of allelopathic substances in the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. Water extracts from G. biloba leaves which collected at different season markedly inhibited the germination and growth of O. sativa, E. crus-galli, D. sanguinalis, and L. sativa, indicating the presence of biological substances. Linolenic and palmitic acid were the major fatty acids of G. biloba leaves. The biochemical substances such as salicylic arid, p-coumaric acid, catechol, hydroquinone, orchinol, ferulic acid, phloroglucinol, and umbelliferone etc., belonging to the phenolic, compounds were, detected in a large amount, which may be responsible for exhibition inhibitory effects. The common phenolic compounds were detected in the early-harvested and late-harvested G. biloba leaves were salicylic and p-coumaric acid. All these compounds were related to the allelopathic activities in G. biloba leaves.

섬진강은 한국 주요 5대강 중 하나로 유량 변동계수가 가장 크다. 이로 인해, 극심한 가뭄이나 홍수의 발생 확률이 높을 뿐만 아니라, 가뭄에서 홍수 또는 홍수에서 가뭄으로 갑작스러운 극한 수문 기상 변화가 일어날 수 있다. 수자원의 안정적인 확보와 수재해로 인한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 수자원 관리와 장기적 수문분석이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 섬진강 유역의 수문 관측소(56개)에서 10년 이상 장기 관측된 일유량 자료(1997년~2020년)를 이용하여 비모수 검정 방법을 통한 추세 분석과 변동점을 탐색하였다. 우선, 일유량 관측 자료를 이용하여 누락된 일유량 관측값으로 생겨날 수 있는 불확실성을 배제하기 위해 관측 기간 중 누락된 일유량 관측값들의 월별 비율을 조사하였다. 그리고 월별 일유량 관측값 누락이 없는 관측소들의 월평균 하천 유량 값으로 연평균 하천 유량 값을 계산하였다. 관측 기간 동안 결측된 값이 없는 28개의 관측소를 대상으로 비모수 검정 방법을 통한 연별 추세 분석(Mann-Kendall Test)과 변동점 탐색(Pettitt Test)을 하였다. 연별 추세 분석 경우 28개의 관측소 중 8개의 관측소에서 통계적으로 의미 있는 추세(신뢰도> 99%)가 탐지되었다. 이들 중 3개의 관측소에서는 증가하는 추세를 보였고 5개의 관측소에서 감소하는 추세가 보였다. 7개의 관측소에서는 통계적으로 의미가 있는 변동점도 탐색되었고 그 변동점이 탐색된 연도는 2011년(4개), 2012년(3개)로 나타났다. 계절적 추세 분석에서는 28개의 관측소 중 각각 봄(MAM) 11개, 여름(JJA) 11개, 가을(SON) 9개, 겨울(DJF) 11개 관측소에서 통계적 추세(신뢰도> 99%)가 탐지되었다. 또한 봄 17개, 여름 7개, 가을 18개, 겨울 18개 관측소에서 변동점이 탐색되었고, 그 연도는 관측소마다 달랐다. 이러한 유량의 추세와 변동점의 원인(기후적/인위적 요소)을 더욱 잘 이해하기 위해, 계절별 유량과 강수량의 상관관계 분석이 연구될 필요가 있다. 이러한 장기 수문기후학적 추세와 변동성에 대한 이해는 농업이 중요한 섬진강 유역의 수자원 관리와 기후변화에 선제대응 할 수 있는 기초를 마련할 것이다.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome disrupts normal sleep. However, there were few studies to evaluate the asymmetric distribution, the one of the important factors of normal sleep in OSA subjects. We hypothesized that asymmetry would be broken in OSA patients. 49 male subjects with the complaint of heavy snoring were studied with polysomnography. We divided them into two groups based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) fifteen: 13 simple snoring group (SSN, average AHI $5.9{\pm}4.4$) and 32 OSA group (average AHI $47.3{\pm}23.9$). We compared split sleep variables between the first half and the second half of sleep within each group with paired t-test for the evaluation of asymmetry. Changes of sleep architecture of OSA were higher stage 1 sleep% (S1), total arousal index (TAI), AHI, and mean heart rate (HR) and lower stage 2 sleep% (S2), REM sleep%, and mean arterial O2 saturation (SaO2) than SSN subjects. SWS and wake time after sleep onset (WASO) were not different between two groups. In split-night analysis, OSA subjects showed higher S2, slow wave sleep% (SWS), spontaneous arousal index (SAI), and mean HR in the first half, and higher REM sleep% and mean SaO2 in the second half. Those were same pattern as in SSN subjects. Mean apnea duration and longest apnea duration were higher in the second half only in the OSA. No differences of AHI, ODI, WASO, and S1 were found between the first and the second half of sleep in both groups. TAI was higher in the first half only in the SSN. SWS and WASO seemed to be influenced sensitively by simple snoring as well as OSA. Unlike our hypothesis, asymmetric distributions of major sleep architecture variables were preserved in OSA group. Losing asymmetry of TAI might be related to pathophysiology of OSA. We need more studies that include large number of subjects in the future.
