This study aims to find out the correlation between the number of snack intake frequency by the young Korean and the experience of dental caries by nationwide level, using data of Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2007. participants whose age among 12 to 18 years-old were analyzed for this study. Of 373 total participants in this analysis, 200 were male and 173 were female. The Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis was used to estimate the association between food intake between meals and experience of dental caries. Data were weight-adjusted. The results were evidently found that those who eat between meals more frequently are likely to be linked more closely to the dental caries, in terms of the correlation between property of demography and the experience of disease (OR:2.1, CI:1.1-4.0). Thus, It is to raise the awareness of effect on dental health, regarding a kind of food consumed, an appropriate nutritional education or dietary consultation is required regularly at school.

This study aims to find the best model to fit the number of insurance solicitor's turnovers of life insurance companies using count data regression models such as poisson regression, negative binomial regression, zero-inflated poisson regression, or zero-inflated negative binomial regression. Out of the four models, zero-inflated negative binomial model has been selected based on AIC and SBC criteria, which is due to over-dispersion and high proportion of zero-counts. The significant factors to affect insurance solicitor's turnover found to be a work period in current company, a total work period as financial planner, an affiliated corporation, and channel management satisfaction. We also have found that as the job satisfaction or the channel management satisfaction gets lower as channel management satisfaction, the number of insurance solicitor's turnovers increases. In addition, the total work period as financial planner has positive relationship with the number of insurance solicitor's turnovers, but the work period in current company has negative relationship with it.

A 6-week feeding trial was conducted to determine optimum feeding frequency for growth of juvenile flounder Paralichthys. olivaceus during the summer season. Triplicate groups of fish (initial mean weight 3.7 g) were fed a extruded pellet with 5 feeding frequencies (one meal every 2 days, one meal a day, two meals a day, three meals a day and four meals a day) at $24.0\pm0.50^{\circ}C$ (mean$\pm$SD). Survival of fish fed one meal every 2 days was significantly (P<0.05) lower than that of the other groups. Weight gain, specific growth rate and daily feed intake increased with increasing feeding frequency (P<0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in weight gain, specific growth rate and daily feed intake of fish fed among two, three and four meals a day. feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were not affected by feeding frequency. Whole body contents of moisture, crude protein, crude lipid and ash were not significantly affected by feeding frequency. These results indicate that optimum feeding frequency is two meals a day for the optimum growth of juvenile flounder grown from 3.7 to 19.0 g under the experimental conditions.

Because the physical properties can be decreased when a Nylon 66/glass fiber composite is injected into a mold over $300^{\circ}C$, a systematic study of the thermal history in the case of re-use is needed. Nylon 66/glass fiber extrudates as a function of the extrusion number were prepared using a twin screw extruder at 305/290/273/268/265/$260^{\circ}C$. The chemical structure, thermal properties, melt index, crystal structure, Izod impact strength, and rheological properties were measured by Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR), melt indexer, DSC, TGA, XRD, Izod impact tester, and dynamic rheometer. The FT-IR spectra indicated that the number of extrusions did not affect the chemical structure. The decrease in molecular weight with increasing extrusion number was confirmed by the melt index and the complex viscosity of extrudates. Based on the DSC and TGA results, the thermal history had no effect on the melting temperature, regardless of the number of extrusions, but the degradation temperature decreased up to $20^{\circ}C$ with increasing extrusion number. The Izod impact strengths of the extrudates were found to decrease with increasing extrusion number. No structural change after extrusion was also confirmed because there was no change in the slope and shape of the G'-G" plot.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of washing times on quality characteristics of chicken breast surimi. The surimi was prepare after 2 (C), 4 (T1) and 6 (T2) times washed with a ratio 6 : 1 distilled water-chicken breast meat. The moisture and crude protein content of T1 and T2 were higher than that of C. The myofibrillay protein and yield of C was higher (p<0.05) than those of T1 and T2. The pH of C was higher (p<0.05) compare to other treatments. The WHC was no significant differences between the all treatments. The shear force of all treatments were tended to higher as washing times increased. The breaking force and deformation value of T2 were lower than other treatments. The $L^{*}$ values in C and $b^{\ast}$ values in T1 were significantly (p<0.05) lower among the treatments group. The hardness and gumminess of T1 was higher (p<0.05) compared to T2. The springiness of treatments increased as washing times increased. The sensory score of surimi made from chicken breast meat was not affected by the washing times.

During the breeding season, both adults and immature Eurasian Oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus osculans) were observed to feed on prey, such as gastropods (Umbonium thomasi) and bivalves, at the tide water line around Yubu island in Korea. To determine differences in the foraging efficiency between the adult and immature birds, we recorded the feeding behavior using digiscoping with a telescope and a smartphone. We compared the pace, the prey search rate, the proportion of prey search techniques, the feeding success rate, the handling time, and the heads-up rate between the adult and immature birds. There were significant differences in the proportion of prey search techniques when gastropods were consumed and in the prey search rate and heads-up rate when bivalves were consumed but there were no significant differences in feeding success rates. Therefore, although the immature birds on Yubu Island were inferior to adults during the breeding season and they lacked the proficiency to locate prey, their overall foraging efficiency was similar to adults. This was considered to be due to the continuous eating of bivalves during the wintering season, which requires a high level of foraging efficiency.

This study was conducted to test actual oxygen consumption rates of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at a commercial scale high density culture tank in the recirculating culture system, with a special emphasis on the oxygen consumption rate of this species with different daily feeding frequencies. Nile tilapia, an average of 400 g and a total wright of 390 kg, were stocked in a circular concrete tank of 2.9 m in diameter and 0.8 m in depth, in a recirculating culture system. The fish were fed commercial diet 1, 2, 5, and 9 times per day between 09:00 h and 19:00 h. feed was evenly supplied where the fish were fed more than once a day. Dissolved oxygen of influent and effluent water was monitored every 50 seconds by a computer with electrodes for 24 hours. The standard metabolic rate of tilapia was $39.31{\pm}4.4mg\;O_2/kg$ fish/hr in the present study. The maximum oxygen consumption was reached between 30 to 50 minutes after feeding. The maximum oxygen consumption levels of 1, 2, 5, and 9 feeding times per day were 161.2, 123.4, 111.1 and 111.1 mg $O_2/kg$ fish/hr, respectively. While the mean oxygen consumption levels of 1, 2, 5, and 9 feeding times per day were $79.9{\pm}21.5,\;81.3{\pm}14.8,\;84.2{\pm}9,9$ and $98,9{\pm}11.0mg\;O_2/kg$ fish/hr, respectively. These results show that oxygen consumption rates are not much different between the feeding frequencies. These results could be used to design to provide desirable oxygen supply system in the recirculating high-density tilapia culture system.

Recently, the active interaction control (AIC) system was proposed as a semi-active control system. The AIC system consists of a primary structure and an auxiliary structure. The objective of the AIC system is to control the response of the primary structure through engagement and disengagement between the primary and auxiliary structures. Previous switching control algorithms have been shown to be effective in reducing the response of the primary structure. However, they have the main drawback of requiring an excessive engagement-disengagement frequency and high interaction force. In this paper, the regions in which the switching is activated and the regions in which the switching is deactivated are described separately, to effectively determine the engagement or the disengagement. The general relationship between the switching regions and the deactivated switching regions selected according to the engagement-disengagement conditions is described within the newly-developed comprehensive switching framework. The proposed engagement-disengagement conditions are designed within a comprehensive switching framework, to reduce engagement-disengagement frequency and interaction force. Furthermore, the effect of a control sampling period on the AIC system is explained in terms of the engagement-disengagement frequency. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms and the effect of the control sampling period are considered for a single degree of freedom model under free vibration. It is observed that increasing the duration of stay by using a large control sampling period prevents the AIC system from activating the possible chance of switching. The proposed algorithms are shown to be effective, both in restricting ineffective switching and in reducing interaction force.

The major purposes of the research are to see the underlying disciplines of technology innovation management which contribute to Korean research. To do that, we employed author cocitation analysis which has been proved to be robust. We compiled all the citations of two major Korean journals between 1993 and 2006. We also included up to 3rd author, which makes a cocitation analysis more comprehensive, compared with the previous analysis for the first author only. We identified 239 authors who have more than 10 citations. From the cocitation combinations based on the 239 authors, we selected and analyzed 100 most cocited authors. Out of 100 authors a group of 23 authors who command both higher citations and cocitations were chosen for detailed analysis. The results show that the average number of publications is 22.2, the average number of citations to them is 58.5, and the average number of citations to a publication is 2.6. Also, the average number of cocitations is around 10 times that of citations. The results indicate that there are six major disciplines: Technology/Innovation, Management of Technology, Economics of Technology, Development, Valuation of Technology, and Growth. Noteworthy points are the following. 1) Most of the members of the technology management group are management scholars, and the groups of economics of technology and growth are economists, while the groups of technology innovation and development group are not represented by specific disciplines. 2) Considering the groups overall from the traditional academic disciplines, the main branches are management and economics. 3) The valuation of technology group consists mostly of Korean researchers.
