Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 19.0, according to complex sampling design. Results : As a result of multi-variate analysis on factors of dental caries, in Model I without correction, the gender, age, educational level, appearance of lifelong smoking, daily toothbrushing frequency, appearance of using dental floss, and subjective oral health status were recognized as important factors. In Model II with correction of gender and age, the educational level, daily toothbrushing frequency, and subjective oral health status were recognized as statistically significant factors. In Model III with correction of all factors, the gender, age, educational level, appearance of using dental floss, and subjective oral health status were functioning as statistically significant factors. As a result of statistically analyzing relationship between the exposure to lead and cadmium and the dental caries targeting adults, it was analyzed that there is no significant correlation. However, in case of lead, the tendency of being grown the cross ratio of dental caries could be examined in model I, which didn't correct disturbance factor, model II, which corrected gender and age, and model III, which corrected all variables of disturbance factor. Conclusions : The exposure to lead and cadmium was indicated to have no relationship with adults' dental caries. However, a continuous research of relationship was considered to be necessary by using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is surveyed in the future.

This study focused on the evaluation of the quality and sensory characteristics of salad dressing prepared from soy powder (Gochujang), in order to increase the level of usability for the Gochujang which is the representative seasoning and spice of Korea. The moisture content and pH of the salad dressing increased in proportion to the increasing amount of soy powder (Gochujang) (p<0.001). Regarding the sugar and salt contents, 20% of the soy powder (Gochujang) shows $26.17^{\circ}Brix$, While the largest value for salt content was 4.8%, with a significant difference existing among varivous samples (p<0.001) As the added amount of soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the sugar content of the salad dressing increased with a statistically significant change (p<0.001). Regarding chromaticity, when soy powder (Gochujang) was added the levels of lightness and yellowness showed a decreasing tendency, and the level of redness showed an increasing tendency, with a significant difference existing among various samples(p<0.001). The results of a sensory showed that, as the amount of added soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the color intensity, Gochujang flavor, and hot taste increased (p<0.001). The results of a sensory showed that, as the amount of added soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the Salad dressing of the glossy, sour flavor, sour taste, and oily level decreased tendency (p<0.001). The results of an acceptance test showed that a 15% content of the soy powder (Gochujang)showed the greatest acceptance values in categories such as appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. Therefore, when making a salad dressing with Gochujang, it is appropriate to add a 15% content of Gochujang to improve the quality and sensory characteristics of the salad dressing.

A concept of 'digital' is changing a living pattern of moderners, with having influence on the whole life of modern society. The purpose of this study is arrange the frame of conformity to the 'fashion as culture' by considering the social and cultural phenomena being shown in relation to digital, which is a concept being watched most for the 21st century and by trying to analyze a tendency of digital culture being shown in the modernly fashion design based on this. The digital culture, which is a concept of generalizing the phenomena of interactional changes in the sub-structure being derived by digital technology, is being shown as a tendency of fusionization and globalization, and due to this, the culture of digital nomads is being formed. On the other hand, a tendency of amenity caused by the reaction against the coldly digital technology, is forming one axis of digital culture. As the culture, which experiences the process of a change by digital technology, is reflected even on the fashion, the fusion of technology and the human body, brought about the appearance and the development of the artificial body, by allowing the wearable computer to be introduced to fashion and by being connected directly to the body. This means the expansion of range for fashion. The destruction of a border between space and space, is making an opportunity of forming another ego inside the cyber space, with bringing about the mixed loading between the cyber space and the real space. As the border between the cyber space and the real space is being collapsed, the space of newly self-realization is being created. The collapse of gender is being shown as the pursuit of gender, which is a nomadic concept of not giving priority to anywhere of male gender and female gender. The tendency of sensitive design introduced the sports look as the largely fashion trend. Fascinated with Zen thoughts is leading to a response to the swiftly and coldly social conditions caused by machine. The digital culture by digital technology and the fashion tendency being shown by its influence, meet the needs of self-realization and self-expansion for a human being, and satisfy the needs for the expression of self-identity for a human being, and enable the search for introspection about inner existence inside the self.

Previous research have demonstrated that the external factors (ex., money, appearance) are more influential in Easterners' self-views and conditions for happiness than those of Westerners'. Based on these results, the current study examined whether 1) children and adolescents acquired these tendency as they grew up and 2) this tendency had relevance with social comparison. Total 954 students (260 elementary, 216 middle school, 260 high school and 218 college students) participated in the study. The results showed that elementary and middle school students regarded the internal factors (ex., thinking, feeling) as more important. But high school students considered the external factors as more important, and there was no difference in college students. Also, the results revealed that elementary and middle school students regarded the harmony of family and peace of mind as more important conditions for happiness. These results contrasted with preference for better educational backgrounds, better occupation, and money in high school and college students. In addition, age and social comparison tendency had positive relation with external self-concepts and negative relation with self-esteem. Especially, high school students showed strongest external self-concepts and social comparison tendency among four age groups. They also showed strongest preference for external conditions for happiness, but their self-esteem was the lowest. This might reflect fierce competition for college education in Korea, and the results of the current study have demonstrated that adolescents developed a tendency to prefer external factors to internal factors as they grew up in a competitive environment.

The effect of pasting agent on the defibrillation of Tencel fabric was investigated. It was evaluated by the weigth loss of fabric when the fabric was treated with cellulase containing various kinds of pasting agents. The surface appearance of Tencel fabric was checked by SEM. Under the treatment condition without pasting agent, the weight loss of fabric was high at pH 5.0 and $60^\circ{C}$. This means that the cellulase activity was high at this condition. By increasing the concentration of carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC), the weight loss of fabric was decreased monotonously. This tendency was not appeared in other pasting agents. CMC is synthesized by the reaction of chloroacetic acid and cellulose. The glucose units may be remained after the reaction. So, it was considered that the degradation of glucose unit in Tencel was decreased, because cellulase had to attack both Tencel and CMC.

This study was carried out to know bending process property of bentwood by treatment methods such as microwave and ammonia solution treatment. Bentwood processing was operated on bending-jig form with 60mm and 100mm radius of curvature (ROC). The species was used to Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora). No significant difference was shown in bentwood processing method on ROC. In treatment method, ammonia solution treatment for bentwood was better in dimensional stability and working ability than that of microwave treatment. However, bentwood stress was reduced with ammonia solution treatment. Color of bentwood surface appearance has a dark tendency in ammonia solution treatment. But it seems to beautiful effect of apparent annual ring is rising esthetically by ammonia solution treatment. To utilize wood as a exterior material for living amenity, it has to be closely examined from various angles including surface property, degree of swelling and shrinkage, drying state, retaining strength, durability, safety, and insect damage.
