Purpose: This study was aimed to determine the optimum low-density lipoprotein : high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL : HDL-C) ratio for predicting coronary heart disease(CHD) in Korean people. Methods: It was analyzed this data of 5,431 adults who had undergone health examinations in a hospital in Gyeonggi-do between January 2006 and December 2007. The covariation of the coronary risk factors such as age, HbA1C, systolic blood pressure(SBP), and waist-to-stature ratio(WSR) were analyzed by using logistic regression analysis. Results: The LDL : HDL-C ratio in the male and female groups was mostly distributed between 1.5 and 4.0. The LDL : HDL-C ratio was the most significant cholesterol-related parameter influencing CHD (male: B = .306, p = .054, female : B = .940, p = .010), followed by LDL-C and total cholesterol. It was observed a sharp increase in the odds ratios for LDL : HDL-C ratios of 2.25 - 2.50(male) and 2.00 - 2.25(female). A significant difference was observed in both male(2.25 : $x^2$ = 2.494, p = .072) and female(2.00 : $x^2$ = 413.742, p = .000) groups. Conclusion: The risk level of CHD was set to 2.25 for males and 2.00 for females. Therefore, the optimum LDL : HDL-C ratio for Koreans should be far lower than that for the people in western countries.

For the effective use of soymilk residue (SR), by-product of soymilk production, barley Doenjang was manufactured. As the results, the contents of reducing sugar increase3 for 50 days in all samples and decreased thereafter. The contents of amino nitrogen increased prominently for 50 days, but increasing ratio was slightly slowdowned thereafter. The higher mixing ratio of SR, the less were the contents of reducing sugar and amino nitrogen. The contents of total acid also increased prominently for 30 days, but were slowdowned thereafter and the differences among all treatments were negligible. As the mixing ratio of SR was increased, the lightness and the yellowness increased and the redness decreased in 80days aged samples. In sensory evaluation of 90 days aged samples, the control was the best in soy sprout Doenjang soup. As the mixing ratio of SR increased, the taste was dropped slightly but no significant differences were obtained among sample A(barley koji 100, soybean 75, SR 25), B(barleykoji 100, soybean 50, SR 50) and C(barley koji 100, soybean 25, SR 75). In the original taste of Doenjang, the control was the best and as the mixing ratio of SR was increased, the point was dropped but these were no significant differences among control, A and B, and among A, B and C, and among B, C and D(barley koji 100, soybean 0, SR 100).

Wheat Doenjang was manufactured by mixing various ratio of the soymilk residue with wheat Koji. As the result, the content of reducing sugar was increased till 50 days and decreased thereafter during aging of the mash. As the combination ratio of soymilk residue was increased, the content of reducing sugar was decreased and amino nitrogen content was increased prominently till 50 days in all testing samples but thereafter the increasing ratio was slowdowned. At the beginning of the aging the content of the amino nitrogen was higher in the testing sample which had higher combination ratio of soymilk residue but at the end of the aging the result was reversed. The content of the total acids was increased prominently till 40 days but thereafter the increasing ratio was slowdowned, and in each testing samples the difference in total acid content was extremely slight. In the color of each testing samples aged 80 days as the combination ratio of soymilk residue was increased, the lightness was increased, and the redness was decreased but the yellowness was increased. From the result of sensory evaluation test of wheat Doenjang aged 90 days, soy sprout Doenjang soup showed the best taste in control and as the combination ratio of soymilk residue was increased, the taste was dropped slightly but no significant differences was obtained among the testing sample A,B and C but between control and testing sample D there was significant difference. In the original taste of Doenjang, the control was the best and as the combination ratio of soymilk residue increased, the point was dropped but there were no significant differences between control and testing sample A and testing sample B and C.

Feasibility which is complimented before Social Overhead Capital Project and National Policy Project is analyzed by economic and political benefits. The projects will be performed if the benefits are bigger than the project cost. In this study, feasibility was examined at various viewpoints on sewer rehabilitation projects implemented with private capitals. To achieve the feasibility analysis, the B/C (Benefit/Cost Ratio), IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and the returns ratio of the Build Transfer Lease project implemented in 2007 at W city were estimated. At the same time, the correlation with B/C and benefit sensitivity of concessionary rate fluctuation were analyzed to evaluate the efficiency and feasibility of the seven sewer rehabilitation projects promoted by a local autonomous entity.

Integrated watershed sewage works program(IWSWP) is defined as implementing, by one of local governments or central government, sewage facilities planning, installation and management for a certain watershed in which criteria of water quality is established and two or more local governments are involved. It is shown that IWSWP is more efficient for the improvement of water quality of water body than conventional local sewage works program(CLSWP) and besides, economical benefits can be achieved by integration of facilities and M&O. In this research, case study for 8 watershed area were investigated to evaluate the difference of effect between IWSWP and CLSWP. The research shows that IWSWP has the money saving result of approximately 12 % by cost reduction for sewage works investment. B/C analysis result shows that B/C ratio of IWSWP was 1.749 and it is higher than B/C ratio of 1.439 for CLSWP. At the same time, the B/C sensitivity analysis is carried out for the rate of discount and the recreational use benefit.

An error probability analysis is performed far a hybrid DS/SFH spread-spectrum system using minimum shift keying(MSK) modulation. The channel is assumed to be a Rayleigh fading channel with partial-band noise interference. Expressions are derived for the bit error rate(BER) in the context of Rician and Rayleigh fading channels, as a function of the average signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) $E_b/N_0$, the average signal-to- interference ratio(SJR) $E_b/N_J$, and channel parameters. As a result, in the fading channel with large Rician factor, K, which denotes the ratio of power of the direct and the diffused components, the partial-band interference is the worst case. On the other hand, in Rayleigh fading channel(K=0), the full-band interference($\rho$=1) brings the system to the worst case. Performance comparisons among various channels show that the factor K has much large effect on overall performance. For example, in conditions of $\rho$=0.1 and BER=$10^-2$, the system in Rician channel with K=10 requires more 1.9 dB SNR than that in AWGN channel, whereas it is less 5 dB SNR than that in the Rayleigh channel with K=0.

Glycolides were polymerized by PPG or Pluronic(PN) to give A-B-A block copolyesters consisting of polyglycolide(A) and polypropylene glycol(B) or polyglycolide(A) and PN (B). Lactones were easily copolymerized with polyethers by ester interchange reaction even in the absence of catalyst. It is because PPG and PN are telechelic polyethers having hydroxy groups on their both ends. When the feed ratio of PPG(M$_{n}$=4,000) and PN(M$_{n}$=11,500) were over 5 and 10 wt% .elative to glycolide, respectively, the polymerization of glycolide took place from the terminus hydroxy groups of PPG or PN to produce the desired A-B-A block copolymers in high yields. The molecular weights of the copolymers, which estimated from the monomer conversions and the feed ratios of PPG and PN, could be controlled by changing the kind of terminus hydroxy of polyether and the feed molar ratio of PPG and PN. PN.

In a preceding study(1), the using method of garnet powder has been studies through the various investigation of basic material properties on garnet powder, industrial by-products generated in Yungju, Kyungpook. In this study, the various properties of concrete mixed with garnet powder are examined as following condition : Unit weight of water (170kg/㎥), water-binder ratio W/B (53, 55 and 58%), sand-aggregate ratio (S/A) (43, 45 and 48%), substitutional ratio of garnet powder of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%. Slump increased a little as the substitutional ratio of garnet increased. Air content decreased a little at the substitutional ratio of 10%. or more. Though there is a little difference in compressive strength according to the W/B and the substitutional ratio, compressive strength of concrete using garnet exceeded that of plain concrete a little in the range of the substitutional ration of 5 to 15%. Also, There is a similar tendency in the tensile and flexural strength. Therefore, the use of garnet powder with industrial by-products is expected to improve the workability and the strength of concrete.

The VB5.2 interface of B-lSDN, that is located between an access network and a service node, allows dynamic allocation and release of ATM resources. In this paper, we propose the B-ANCC protocol of the VB5.2 interface to minimize the overall connection setup delay by introducing the access network. The B-ANCC protocol enhances the B-BCC protocol and adopts a parallel interworking function with signaling protocols in the service node. To confirm the correctness of the proposed B-ANCC protocol, we validate it using the automated validation tool, SPIN. We analyze and simulate the sequential interworking model based on the B-BCC protocol and the parallel interworking model based on the B-ANCC protocol, in terms of a connection setup delay and a completion ratio. It is shown that our proposed parallel interworking model with B-ANCC reduces a setup delay and improves a completion ratio compared to the sequential interworking model with B-BCC.

The goal of this paper is optimal switching angle of switched reluctance motor drive system fur maximum energy ratio. A new magnetizing method with a low-frequency increasing the energy conversion ratio that is related to the efficiency of motor is proposed. As the results, it improved the efficiency about 2[%]. And a torque ripple is also sufficiently reduced compared with that of the conventional approach. In order tn start softly regardless of large ripple torque, the profile of phase current is predicted by the ANFIS, and current control mode was adapted when it is operated under the starting speed. Variable implementations en the fields will guarantee the more practical drive system.
