LES(Large eddy simulation) of breakup and atomization of a liquid jet into cross turbulent flow was performed. Two phase flow between a gas phase and a liquid phase was modeled by a mixed numerical scheme of both Eulerian and Lagrangian methods for gas and liquid phases respectively. The first and second breakup of liquid column was observed. The penetration depth in cross flow was comparable with experimental data for several variant of a liquid-gas momentum flux ratio by varying liquid injection velocities. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

Following results were obtained for the mechanical degradation of polystyrene (for polystyrene itself and when blended with rubber) by roll mastication. 1) The rate of mechanical degradation for polystyrene itself can be represented by the second-order rate equation proposed by Goto. $-\frac{dP_t}{dt} = k_s(P_t-P_{\infty})^2$ Where Pt is the degree of polymerization of the degraded polymer at t minutes and $P{\infty}$ is the final degree of polymerization. 2) The mechanical degradation of polystyrene component in the polystyrene-rubber (SBR, BR) blend system occurred similarly as that of polystyrene itself. 3) Under the experimental conditions the mechanical degradation rate of the polystyrene component of the polystyrene-rubber, (SBR, BR) blend system followed approximately the same second-order equation as that for polystyrene itself.

More detailed calculations of extension to general anisotropic transport equation with fission are studied. These calculations involve that the operator can be splitted into scattering and fission operators when we prove the completeness of general anisotropy. Applying these operators to the equation makes it easy to extract the slowing-down transient of zero-measure, and completely solves the transport equation. In addition, the number of the eigenvalues of the second anisotropy is classified with Cs unknown, B$_1$and B$_2$known constants.

Background : No association between schizophrenia and dopamine D4 receptor polymorphisms have been reported. Despite these results, it is premature to exclude the association. It has been suggested that the susceptibility to develop schizophrenia could result from variation at a number loci which may interact or coact with each other. Therefore, we investigated a possible association of combinations of exon III 48bp polymorphism[D4E3] and exon I 12bp polymorphism of the DRD4 gene [D4E1] with schizophrenia. Methods : 207 unrelated Korean schizophrenic patients and 191 healthy controls were recruited. DRD4 genotype was established using the polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis consisted of ${\chi}^2$ tests for Hardy-Weinberg proportions and genotypic and allelic frequencies in the patients and control groups. Results : There were no statistically significant differences in the each polymorphisms between schizophrenics and controls. And all genotype frequencies were within Hardy-Weinberg expectations. When the combinations of the polymorphism in schizophrenia and controls were compared, however, there were significant differences at $A1A2^*2/4$ in the distributions of the combinations of D4E1 and D4E3(p<0.01). Conclusions : These findings suggest that the certain combination of D4E1 and D4E3($A1A2^*2/4$) has the protective role to a susceptibility for schizophrenia.

Objective:There is increasing evidence that free radical-mediated CNS neuronal dysfunction is involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This study was performed to examine the relationship between antioxidant defense system and schizophrenia by analyzing polymorphism of catalase gene, an antioxidant enzyme. Method:Genotype and allele frequencies in the promoter region in the catalase gene using restriction fragment length polymorphism were studied, comparing 155 Korean controls with 167 Korean schizophrenics. Results:No difference was found between the schizophrenics and the controls in genotype and allele frequencies of HinfI polymorphism in the catalase gene. Significant difference was found between the female schizophrenics and the female controls in the genotype distribution(${\chi}^2$=11.096, df=2, p=0.004). Conclusions:The results do not support an association between polymorphism of catalase gene and schizophrenia. However, this study suggests that HinfI polymorphism in the catalase gene could be associated with female schizophrenics.

Objectives : This study was aimed to investigate stress and coping strategy in the families of schizophrenic patient, and changes of knowledge, stress and coping strategy after brief program of family education compared with control group Methods : The education group consisted of twenty four people who were families with schizophrenic patients and attended the brief program of family education. The control group consisted of twenty two people with schizophrenic inpatients. Self-report questionnaires such as Family Coping Questionnaire(FCQ), Patient Rejection Scale(PRS), Worry Questionnaire, Knowledge Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) were administered to the education group and the control group, twice at the pre-test and post-test. Results : 1) In the education group, scores of worry questionnaire, BDI and STAI-S at the post-test were significantly lower than those at the pre-test. Social interests score of FCQ and knowledge questionnaire score at the post-test were significantly higher than those at the pre-test. In FCQ factors, social interests associated with avoidance strategy score at the post-test was significantly higher than that at the pre-test. However, in the control group, there was no significant difference in all questionnaires. 2) In the education group, significant positive correlation existed between calculated differences of worry questionnaire and STAI-S, and between worry questionnaire and STAI-T, whereas significant negative correlation existed between positive communication of FCQ and PRS, and between knowledge questionnaire and STAI-S. In the control group, significant negative correlation existed between information of FCQ and PRS, and between positive communication of FCQ and PRS. 3) In the education group, significant positive correlation existed between calculated differences of worry questionnaire and age of patient, whereas significant negative correlation existed between knowledge questionnaire and duration of illness. However, in the control group, there was no significant correlation. Conclusion : The brief program of family education was effective in increasing knowledge about schizophrenia, decreasing worry and anxiety about the patients in families with schizophrenic patient. In the education group as knowledge about schizophrenia increased, anxiety about schizophrenic patient decreased, but there was no significant correlation in the control group. As relative's rejection feeling about schizophrenic patient decreased, positive communication strategy increased in both groups. However, the control group was more affected by rejection feeling than the education group.

Objectives : Neurological soft signs have been regarded as endophenotypes associated with the genetic basis of schizophrenia. This study was to investigate the intra-familial correlations of the neurological soft signs according to their genetic loading. Methods : Schizophrenic patients(N=14) were included, who had one parent with a family history of schizophrenia and the other without it. Genetic loading was determined by the patient's family history of schizophrenia using the Family Interview for Genetic Studies(FIGS). These parents were subdivided into two groups. The first group was designated as 'presumed carriers'(N=9) of genetic loading, who had one or more schizophreic firstor second-degree relatives. The second group was designated as 'presumed non-carriers'(N=11) of genetic loading, who had no schizophrenic first- or second-degree relatives. Normal controls(N=12) consisted of people without schizophrenic relatives. NSS were evaluated using the Neurological Evaluation Scale-Korean Version (NES-K), and the intra-familial correlations of NSS were tested using the Intra-Class Coefficients(ICC) method. Results : The scores of Motor Coordination subdimension of NES-K were significantly correlated between the patients and their presumed carriers(ICC=.804, p=.016), but not significantly correlated between the patients and their presumed noncarriers. In other subdimensions of NES-K, no significant correlation were found between the patients and their parents regardless of the genetic loading. But, there were no statistically significant differences in the scores of Motor Coordination subdimension of NES-K between the patients and controls. Conclusion : This study did not prove that the neurological soft signs might be an endophenotype of schizophrenia that cosegregate with the genetic loading. The future study using more subjects than this would be needed.

여포액이 여포안에서는 난자의 성숙을 억제하지만 여포액을 일단 여포 밖으로 내어 배양액을 섞거나 혹은 여포액만으로 난자를 배양할 때 난자는 성숙분열을 일으키는 것을 보아 왔다. 저자들은 소의 여포액 내의 성분중 어떤 것 들이 난자 성숙에 유효한 가를 밝히기 위하여 본 실험을 행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여포액을 투석하여 얻은 dialysable fraction을 이용하여 난자를 배양하였을 때 높은 성숙율을 얻었다. 반대로 non-dialysable fraction를 포함하는 기본배양액 내에서는 난자의 성숙율은 극히 낮았으며 퇴화하는 경향이 있었다. 둘째, paper chromatography 의 방법으로 dialysable fraction이 포함하는 free amino acid를 조사한 결과 8가지의 amino acid가 동정되었다. 이 amino acid를 기본배양액에 섞어 배양액으로 만들어 난자를 배양했을 때 난자성숙율이 90%이상이었고 제 2차 중기까지 도달한 난자는 30시간 이내에 10% 정도였다. 셋째, 상기의 amino acid가 들어있는 배양액에 다시 biotin를 첨가하여 배양하면 48시간내에 제 2차 분열 중기까지 도달하는 난자가 60%에 이르렀다. 위 결과로 보아 여포액은 in vitro인 경우 난자의 성숙을 유발하며 성숙을 유발하는 주요 성분은 여포액내에 포함되어 있는 몇가지 amino acid와 biotin과 같은 vitamine B가 될 것이라는 결론을 얻었다.

A survey was carried out on the cold-induced sterility of paddy rice in 1988 in the alpine area of Kangweon province when cold spell occurred during late July to early August, During this period minimum temperature as low as 8.5$^{\circ}C$ and 5.7$^{\circ}C$ was recorded at Dunnae and Jinbu, respectively. The rice cultivars, which encountered this cold spe]J at meiotic stage of microspore, were damaged by sterility in most alpine areas of higher than 300m in altitude. To secure spilkelet fertility higher than 80% it was estimated that the minimum and average air temperature accumulated during 13 days of meiotic stage should be higher than 2$25^{\circ}C$ and 285$^{\circ}C$, respectively and/or the duration of lower than 17$^{\circ}C$ in minimum temperature should not exceed fivedays during that period.
