The women's apparel sizing system, currently used in the Korean industry, does not reflect measurement differences associated with varying body types and age. Forty five body meaqsurements were taken on 560 subjects, whoes eages ranged from 18-24. STatistical analysis of the data was coducted by using frequences, crosstables, correlation, oneway ANOVA, Regressio analysis. The results of this study were as follow. 1. Average height of women in their early 20's is 160cm, average bust girth 82cm, average hip girth 90cm and average drop 809. The correlation between height and grth items were low and the correlation of length items in the superior and inferior body were shown to bo high respectively. 2. The average Rhrer index is 1.28 and they ussually seem to be in the thin and standard body group. 3. body types were divided by differences between hip and bust sizes. N type(medium hip), A type (large hip), H type(small hip). A classification by body type showed that N type made up 58% while a type made up 24%. 4. The garment sizes for women in their early 20's were developed. 5. The new basic blocks and garment sizes for women in their early 20's were developed as follows : Bust girth (1/2) = 76N, 76A, 79A type($\frac{1}{2}$B+ 4cm) 79N type($\frac{1}{2}$B+ 3.5cm) 82N, 85N type ($\frac{1}{2}$B +3cm) Hip girth($\frac{1}{2}$) =N type($\frac{1}{2}$H + 2~2.5cm) Atype($\frac{1}{2}$H +1.5~2cm) Waist girth($\frac{1}{2}$)=$\frac{1}{2}$W + 2-3cm Back length =extimated measure -0.5cm Front length=76A, N (Back length + 2.2cm) 79A, N(back length +2.7cm) 82N(Back length +3.2cm) 85N(Back length + 3.7cm) Sleeve length=Sleeve length +3cm.

The subjects selected for this study were women a Rohrer index of 1.6 or higher, a waist circumference 78.5cm to 83.5cm, and a lower drop of at least 18cm. The aim is to propose a prototype of bi-stretch pants meeting demands for both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The results showed that the best pants patterns were ease 1cm to the total hip circumference. The front hip circumference was H/4-0.5cm, and the back hip circumference was H/4+1cm. The front crotch width was H/20+1cm, the back crotch width was H/10+3cm. No additional ease was given to the total waistline. The front waist circumference was W/4+0.5cm. The back waist circumference was W/4-0.5cm. The knee circumference was set at 44cm, the pant hem width was set at 36cm, and the pant length was set at 100cm-5cm.

This is a follow-up study to "An Analysis of the Fitting of Plus-sized Women's Formal Jackets in On-line Shopping Malls", in which we compiled basic sizes of formal jackets sold in online retailers for plus-sized women and compared specific measurements of the jackets from each retailer. Emphasizing a comparison of age groups 20-39 and 40-59, fit evaluations and analyses were conducted in order to provide data to help manufacturers develop formal jacket patterns that reflect physical characteristics of plus-sized consumers and offer better physical fit. The surveys and evaluations were conducted between October 2007 and May 2008. and the compiled data were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 statistics program. The results were summarized as follows. The two age groups gave different evaluations of the fit problems in the women's formal jackets sold in online retailers. Whereas the age group 20-39 felt that the main problems were in the shoulder, armscye, upper arm, waist, abdomen and hip areas, the age group 40-59 said that they found more problems in the armscye, upper arms, sleeve length and jacket length. Modifying the shoulder area, armscye depth and jacket length severely compromises the jacket's balance, and attention to these areas must be given during pattern design.

ICAP법을 이용하였을 때 뇌내 약물량은 SS20-0098은 PBN보다 4.5배 큰 값을 나타내었고 정맥투여 후 2시간에서의 뇌내 약물량은 SS20-0098과 PBN이 거의 유사한 값을 나타내었다. PBN과 SS20-0098은 octanol partition 계수(log P)가 각각 1.23, 2.26로 지용성인 큰 SS20-0098이 혈액 내에서 대사를 저지시키는 방법으로 투여되었을 때는 비교적 더 많은 양이 뇌로 이행되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

As interest in skin care increases, this study aims to contribute to the development of the beauty self-care market by providing basic data through the measurement of the oil and moisture skin condition of women in their 20s and 30s. The study was conducted from November 27, 2020 to January 31, 2021, with 20 women in their 20s and 30s divided into 4 groups, A~D, by age, 5 per group. Skin measurements were taken four times at 4 hour intervals at 0H, 4H, 8H, and 12H based on the first measurement that was taken within 30 minutes after waking up, and the oil and moisture indices were observed over time. As a result, both T and U zones showed significant differences in moisture levels over time, with no difference between groups for both T and U zones. Moisture decreased the most between 0H to 4H, and moisture changed the least between 4H to 8H. Changes in moisture increased the similar at 0H and 12H. The oil condition changed more irregularly compared to moisture over time, but all groups showed lower oil content in the U-zone compared to the T-zone. Overall, the facial oil and moisture conditions of women in their 20s and 30s changed over time, indicating that the skin changes in real time. The fact that the skin data, which was measured in the primary activity living environment, can be used as basic research data in the beauty self-care market is meaningful.
