This study presents a descriptive statistical analysis on grade characteristics and employment rates of three ocean-related departments at a university. The ocean-related departments belong to the same college along with the other six departments. To obtain the correlation between the grade characteristics and employment rates, we carried out the followings. Firstly, four-year employment rates and six-semester GPAs (grade point averages) were obtained from the nine departments. Secondly, the box-and-whisker plots were constructed for each data set to capture the grade characteristics (mean, the first quartile, median, third quartile, whisker+, and Q3 box). Finally, the grade characteristics and employment rates were correlated. It is shown from the correlation analysis that the employment rate has a positive linear relation with the mean or third quartile, while the rate has a negative linear relation with the whisker+ or Q3 box, for the ocean-related departments possibly because these departments have higher regular employment rates than those of the other six departments.

For introducing the groundwater quality assessment using background concentration of groundwater, several methods had been studied to estimate the background concentration of groundwater and to suggest the background concentration of study area. Some methods such as Box whisker plot, Percentile and Cumulative probability distribution had been adopted to estimate background concentration, and it was evaluated that the Cumulative probability distribution method presents more reasonable background concentration because it can consider the data distribution. So we estimated the background concentration of study area using cumulative probability distribution method. We suggested the background concentration for each hydrogeology respectively in case hydrogeological water quality similarity is very low.

This study is derived relationships of the resistance coefficients of Darcy-Weisbach and Manning for flow resistance and the dimensionless velocity using many field measurements for 1,875 rivers consist of sand 179, gravel 992, cobble 651 and boulder 53 channels in natural rivers, respectively. The relationships of power law forms are developed as a function of flow discharge, friction slope, and relative submergence by the regression and the semi-empirical method. The measurements distribution of Manning resistance coefficients by the Box-Whisker Plots show the values which ranges from 0.004~0.151 for sand, 0.008~0.250 for gravel, 0.015~0.327 for cobble, 0.023~0.444 for boulder in natural rivers, respectively. Relationships of these semi-empirical and resistance coefficients will be useful to give information in hydraulic engineering.

How to teach calculus is an important issue since Calculus is the first mathematics in college curriculum which highly influences other subjects including Physics, Engineering Mathematics like differential equations, and other engineering major subjects. This study suggests that a class model of Engineering Mathematics include Calculus review test so that students can study for themselves Calculus 'outside Calculus class'. First of all, a systematic process of administrating a review test is presented. Secondly, scores of the Calculus review test is statistically analyzed to confirm that ability in Calculus is highly correlated to their achievements in Engineering mathematics. Through a survey, it is confirmed that students in Engineering Mathematics study Calculus for themselves as they think Calculus review test is helpful.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the energy consumption of Elementary, Middle and High Schools in Daejeon Metropolitan City. The main results are as follow: 1) Annual energy consumption per class was 12,825 (kWh/class) at elementary schools, 15,780 (kWh/class) at middle schools, and 29,447 (kWh/class) at high schools, 2) Generally the smaller the size of the school, the higher the energy consumption per class. However according to the HVAC system there was no consistent pattern of energy consumption per class. 3) According to Box and Whisker's Chart, distribution of energy consumption of elementary and middle schools' had small range. However, the range of high schools increased. 4) Energy consumption in winter season was larger than that of summer season in schools.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hydrochemical characteristics of emergency-use groundwater in the Daejeon area, and to elucidate the contamination source of $NO_3-N$ and the origin of sulfate in the groundwater. The groundwater shows weak acidic pH, the electrical conductivity ranging from 142 to $903{\;}\mu\textrm{S}/cm$, and the hydrochemical types of $Ca-HCo_3$ and $Ca-Cl(SO_4,{\;}NO_3)$. The Box-Whisker analysis and the Krigging analysis of chemical data of groundwater were made to demonstrate the concentration distribution of hydrochemical composition, and to compare the trend of hydrochemical data. The groundwater in the area of Dong-gu, Jung-gu and Daeduk-gu, where are old town, shows higher electrical conductivity, nitrate content, sulfate and $EpCO_2$ levels than groundwater in new town area of Seo-gu and Yusung-gu. ${\delta}^{15}N$ of groundwater in the area of Seo-gu and Yusung-gu ranges from +7.4 to $+9.6{\textperthousand}$, indicating that major contamination source of $NO_3-N$ is the leakage from municipal sewage pipe lines. ${\delta}^{15}N$ of groundwater in the old town area of Tong-gu, Jung-gu and Daeduk-gu shows the range between +10.2 and $+23.5{\textperthousand}$, meaning that major contamination source is leakage of septic tank. ${\delta}^{34}S$ of groundwater shows the range of $+3~13.4{\;}{\textperthousand}$. Sulfur isotope indicates the possibility of a sulfate reduction and the input of anthrophogenic source.

This study was conducted to evaluate the techniques or analyzing tobacco smoke by statistical treatment method for the analytical data through Asia Collaborative Study V. In addition to five smoke components analysis, consisting of TPM, water, nicotine, NFDPM, and puff count of four cigarettes samples, statistical parameters such as mean, standard deviation, box-and-whisker plots, h plots, k plots, regression coefficients, reproducibility (R), and repeatability (r) were also calculated. Analysis of water content of cigarette smoke was the most difficult task, whereas puff count analysis was the easiest as well recognized by all laboratories. Analysis of nicotine and puff count accounted for both the lowest and the highest variation among four parameters. The water coefficients indicated more randomness or variation in the slops. The NFDPM data exhibited both types of deviations from linearity. Water content of sample D indicated the highest difference between two single results and between two interlaboratory test results. As a whole, KGTRI ranked higher in the analytical techniques for statistical evaluation of results when compared with the practices of 28 other laboratories.

The aim of this study was to analyze the reliability of an ultrasonic device(SDM) measuring soft tissue thickness in relation to tooth position, and to find factors which can influence the reliability. The results showed that 1. measurement error was the largest in the maxillary second molar position and the smallest in the mandibular central incisor position. 2. in a box whisker plot, the difference between two measurements was most widely distributed in molar positions. 3. in Pearson correlation analysis, the relationship between two measurements was the highest in the maxillary lateral incisor position and, the lowest in the maxillary second molar, mandibular first and second premolar position. 4. a stepwise multiple regression analysis could explain the difference of two measurements with various independent variables in 29.7% (P<0.0001). Gingival thickness was the only variable influencing the measurement difference in a statistically significant level(P<0.0001). It can be concluded that its high reliability, ease to use and patient comfort justified the application of the SDM in measurement of soft tissue thickness.

강우 시 우수관로 내부의 수리 거동(유속, 수위)에 영향을 미치는 대표적인 매개변수는 관로의 조도계수와 손실계수 등이 있다. 이 중 조도계수는 관로 내부의 퇴적 및 협잡물로 인한 조도높이 변화에 따른 관로 내의 수리학적 거동을 평가할 수 있는 매개변수이며 손실계수는 관로의 확대, 축소, 만곡 등에 의한 에너지 감쇄 효과에 따른 관로 내 수리학적 변화를 평가할 수 있는 매개변수이다. 본 연구에서는 서울시 주요 배수구역에 대해 관로 조도계수 및 손실계수 변화에 따른 수위, 유속 변동성을 SWMM으로 분석하였다. 연구에 적용한 대상 배수구역은 반포 02 (방배1), 안양천 13 (봉천1), 성내 05 (길동), 안양천 11(신림4), 반포 03 (방배2), 안양천 01 (오류1), 성내 03 (천호)로 총 7개 배수구역이다. 모형수행을 위한 조건으로 조도계수는 0.015 ~ 0.120 구간에 대해 0.003 단위로 증가시키며 총 12개 CASE를 적용하였으며 손실계수는 0.0 ~ 0.5 구간에 대해 0.1 단위로 총 6개 CASE를 적용하였다. 관로 수리특성에 따른 수심, 유속의 변화량 분석 결과는 관로 및 유역의 크기별로 변화의 폭이 매우 크므로 상자-수염그림(Box-whisker plot) 이용하여 중간값의 변화 정도를 검토하였다. 조도계수 증가에 따른 수심증가, 유속 감소치의 중간값을 분석한 결과 조도계수가 0.013에서 0.034로 증가 시 수심은 40.6% 증가하고 유속은 47.4% 감소하는 것으로 검토되었다(그림 1, 2). 한편, 손실계수 증가에 따른 수심증가, 유속 감소치의 중간값을 분석한 결과 조도계수가 0.0에서 1.6으로 증가시 수심은 15.7% 증가하고 유속은 15.0% 감소하는 것으로 검토되었다. 이상과 같은 연구의 성과는 우수관로 내부의 다양한 여건 변화가 강우 시 관로 내 수리특성에 미치는 영향을 판단하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있으며 향후, 우수관로 모니터링 결과와 연계하여 유지관리 방안 수립에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
