Objective : This study attempted to evaluate the ultrasonographic diagnosis of sinusitis compared to X-ray diagnosis and further to help the diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis through oriental medicine. Methods : Both A-mode ultrasonography and X-ray were taken of 30 symptom-positive patients and 10 symptom-negative controls. Nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, postnasal drip, headache (facial pain), hyposmia (anosmia), throat discomfort and chronic cough were included in the symptoms of sinusitis. Both ultrasonographic and X-ray findings were divided into four groups (clear, mucosal thickening, air-fluid level and cystic shape) according to severity. Results : 1. The symptoms of patients (n=30) were as follows: nasal obstruction (83.3%), rhinorrhea (70.0%), postnasal drip (60.0%), chronic cough (53.3%), headache (40.0%), throat discomfort (40.0%), hyposmia (26.7%). 2. There was a significant correlation between symptoms and ultrasonographic findings (n=40, ${\gamma}=0.550$, P=0.001). 3. There was a significant correlation between symptoms and X-ray findings (n=40, ${\gamma}=0.555$, P=0.001). 4. There was a significant whole coincidence between ultrasonographic and X-ray findings (n=60, ${\gamma}=0.335, P=0.00l). Moreover, there was a significant coincidental trend between the two findings as they became severe (n=60, ${\gamma}=6.284$, P=0.012). 5. The distance of the ultrasonographic echoes was as follows: clear echo (n=9, from transducer pulse to air mucosa echo) $0.90{\pm}0.19cm$, mucosal thickening echo (n=23, from transducer pulse to air mucosa echo) 1.85{\pm}0.14cm, air-fluid level echo (n=26, from transducer pulse to back wall echo) $3.70{\pm}0.16cm$. 6. The highest diagnostic reliability of the ultrasonographic findings compared to X-ray findings was as follows: over-diagnosis in clear finding 77.3%, matched diagnosis in mucosal thickening finding 62.0%, matched diagnosis in air-fluid level finding 86.7%, matched diagnosis and under-diagnosis in cystic shape finding 50.0%. 7. In mucosal thickening, air-fluid level and cystic shape finding, there was a significant individual coincidence between the ultrasonographic and X-ray findings. In clear finding, there was no significant individual coincidence between the two findings. Conclusion : The ultrasonographic diagnosis significantly reflects the symptoms of sinusitis like X-ray diagnosis and is a valuable tool to screen prognostic factors such as mucosal thickening, air-fluid level and cyst. Therefore the ultrasonography will be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis in oriental medicine.

Biological control of thrips with a predatory bug species, Orius sauteri Poppius, was evaluated in an eggplant greenhouse, To study the biological control strategy of thrips. three Plots were established: Orius sauteri released plot without pesticide treatment (NRT), pesticide treated plot (PAT), and natural enemy removed plot (RNT) The nymphs of O. sauteri were found on the upper side of leaves in NRT at 21 days after the first release of O. sauteri. The density of thrips were dropped and maintained at lower level in NRT than in RNT. Average damage index of NRT, PAT and RNT was 1.35, 1.21 and 2.90 and the percentage of damaged fruit ratio of those was 70.3, 68.6 and 99.0%, respectively. The damage index and percentage of damaged fruit in NRT were slightly higher than those of PAT, but much lower than in RNT. Taylor's band Iwao's $\beta$ were greater than 1 for both populations. indicating aggregated distribution. Spatial coincidence index of O. sauteri was high most of the time even at low densities of both populations. The refuge index for thrips decreased as O. sauteri density increased. Results of this study suggest that O. sauteri is a promising natural enemy for thrips control on eggplant.

Landuse changes and cadastral information error categories in the four major river areas were analyzed for the use of policy data as cadastral re-arrangement of national and public lands would be required, using high-resolution air-photographs and cadastral maps before and after the river development. The study sites were the river areas of 40km around four dams of the Nakdong river where their landuses were changed most. As the results, national and public lands reached 79.9% of land parcels and 93.3% of land areas of the study sites similar with those of the four river areas, 84.3% of land parcels and 85.5% of land areas. The landuse classification of the study sites before the four river development was consisted most of 'river'(71.6%) and 'rice field'(12.3%), but after the development the 'river' was reduced to 42.7% and 'park area'(19.6%) including sport fields and 'mixed lots'(20.8%) were increased. Also, 86.7% of land parcels before the development could be reduced after the development if administrative districts and land ownerships were not considered. Cadastral information error categories can be found as cadastral polygon missing, polygon overlap, location and boundary non-coincidence, small polygon generation, and non-coincidence between cadastral boundary and river boundary. Landuse change monitoring method using air-photographs will be useful to analyze landuse state through fast information aquisition and to manage properties of national and public lands such as river areas.

Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the relationship of leg length analysis and X-ray finding according to positions and valuation bases on diagnosis of pelvic malpositions. Methods: Twenty-two people who get $33.09{\pm}10.73$ as average were evaluated by leg length analysis and X-ray findings. After measuring innominate measurement(IM), femur head line. distance between S2 and posterior superior iliac spine(PSIS). ilium shadow measurement(ISM), major axis of obturator foramen(MaF), minor axis of obturator foramen(MiF) and distance between off centering measurement and symphysis pubis, those were analyzed. Results: 1. In assessment of posterior rotation malposition ilium(PI), it was showed the best coincidence between leg length analysis and X-ray analyzed by 1M in supine position(11 cases, 50.5%). 2. In assessment of inflare, coincidence index between leg length analysis and X-ray were not good($4.00{\pm}3.03$ cases, $18.15{\pm}13.82%$). And leg length analysis were not sensitive. 3. On the whole, coincidence index between leg length analysis and X-ray were not good(best: 1 case, 45.5%; worst: 11 cases, 50.0%). Conclusions: Results form this investigation showed the relationship of leg length analysis and X-ray according 10 positions and valuation bases on diagnosis of pelvic malpositions. This results are expected to contribute to establish method of assessment in diagnosis of pelvic malpositions.

The Occurrence of cadastral land having difference between registered lists and realities result in not only enormous trobles on land administration of the nation but also violation of individual property rights. Government has inclined many efforts to solve this problems, it is actuality that results are not reaching in expectation. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to prevent problems beforehand and manage lands efficiently by analyzing typical realities and extracting the area of cadastral having difference between registered lists and realities.

Direct Integration method(D.I) and Mode Superposition method(M.S) are used widely in dynamic analysis method for structure with isolation devices. D.I is used firstly because it is consider to nonlinearity of isolation device. M.S is applied in elastic region, but it is difficult to apply M.S because coincidence with othogonality condition in the case of adding the damping of isolation device. In this study, the method for calculation of damping ratio of isolated structure is proposed, and proposed method is verified with analysis for example structure.

This paper proposes a minimum power factor control for maximum efficiency operation of an induction motor, under low load condition. Minimum input or maximum efficiency operation is achived by properly adjusting the amplitude of the stator voltage, with the three phase AC voltage controller. Through the simulation, the relationships between the delay angle and input power under various load conditions are examined. Experimental results are also given, which show good coincidence with the simulation results.

The purpose of this paper is to establish some coupled coincidence point theorems for a pair of mappings having a strict mixed g-monotone property satisfying a contractive condition of rational type in the framework of partially ordered metric spaces. Also, we present a result on the existence and uniqueness of coupled common fixed points. The results presented in the paper generalize and extend several well-known results in the literature.
