This is a literature review study on personality traits' role in language learning. Personality traits play an important role in language learning. In order to review research outcomes in recent studies, articles related to language learning and personality traits were collected through research databases such as ProQuest, Google Scholar, and EBSCO. Based on the analysis of collected literature, this study revealed that extraversion and openness to experience are the personality traits leading to the successful language learning. More specifically, extraversion was related to speaking skills while openness to experience was related to listening. It is also important to note which learning strategies are more likely to be utilized in second language learning and personality traits that are more likely to use them. These findings focus on writing skills, listening skills, and speaking skills. Further studies in the field are suggested.

The sensor nodes in underwater IoT networks have practical limitations in power supply. Thus, the reduction of power consumption is one of the most important issues in underwater environments. In this regard, AMC(Adaptive Modulation and Coding) techniques are used by using the relation between SNR and BER. However, according to our hands-on experience, we observed that the relation between SNR and BER is not that tight in underwater environments. Therefore, we propose a deep learning based MLP classification model to reflect multiple underwater channel parameters at the same time. It correctly predicts BER with a high accuracy of 85.2%. The proposed model can choose the best parameters to have the highest throughput. Simulation results show that the throughput can be enhanced by 4.4 times higher than the conventionally measured results.

A thin and porous non-flammable wiper was prepared by phosphorus acid solution treatment and subsequent oven annealing. The H₃PO₃ treatment improved flame retardancy of wiper paper to nonflammable level. Thermogravimetric analyses showed that residues increased to 50% at 700℃, which means this treatment helps dehydration of the cellulose chain and promotes the formation of char-like structures during the burning. FT-IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that some of the added H₃PO₃ could react with the functional groups of the cellulose chain. The reacted H₃PO₃ components promote dehydration of the cellulose components and the formation of a char-like structure and improve the flame retardancy of the wiper paper.

This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of Korean diet in the view of food and food group intakes. The study subjects consisted of preschool children(PC), elementary school children(EC), high school students(HS), college students(CS), and adults over 30 years old living Seoul and the surrounding areas. The subjects over 30 years old were classified to 30-49 years, 50-69 years, and over 70 years. A dietary survey was conducted using 24-hour recall method and data were collected from 2392 subjects. Rice was a major contributor to many nutrients intake because of the amount of consumption. Vegetable oil made great contribution to fat intakes and eggs, squid, and anchovy supplied much cholesterol compared to other foods in all the age groups. Milk was major contributor of fat and cholesterol as well as calcium in younger age group, and seasoning gave much contribution to iron intakes. Mean dietary variety score(DVS) was 32 for EC group and 17 for subjects over 70 years, and tended to decrease along the increasing age. EC group consumed most variable number of foods of all groups but they consumed many junk foods, therefore the MAR value was low despite their high DVS value. Mean dietary diversity score(DDS) of each age group from PC group to subjects over 70 years was 4.34, 4.28, 3.79, 3.89, 3.76, 3.56, and 3.25, respectively. Food group, which was consumed below the minimum amount, was mainly fruits in all the age groups, and many subjects in HS group and over 30 years consumed dairy products below the minimum amount. From these results, age specific nutritional problems were found. PC group and subjects over 50 years seemed to need more diverse food intake than now, EC group did nutrient dense food, and HS group and subjects over 30 years did dairy products. Also, subjects took various nutrients from rice and seasoning contributed to some nutrients intakes. (Korean J Nutrition 34(5) : 568∼579, 2001)

Trifoliate orange components consist of several kinds, such as monoterpenes, limonoids, flavonoids, and coumarins. Coumarin derivatives were shown to possess valuable pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory and dietary effect. Among them, 7-geranyloxycoumarin 6 is a promising chemopreventive agent againist skin, tongue, oesophaqus and colon carcinogenesis in rodents. Seven new coumarin derivatives structurally related to 7-geranyloxycoumarin were synthesised in good yields by $Cs_2CO_3$/acetonitrile condition. We investigated the effect of anti-inflammatory activity on interleukin-6 for synthesised geranyloxycoumarin derivatives. 6-Geranyoxycoumarin 9 (68.9% / $1{\mu}M$ ; 72.6% / $10{\mu}M$) of the anti-inflammatory activity is far higher than 7-Geranyloxycoumarin 5 (40.1% / $1{\mu}M$ ; 61.1% / $10{\mu}M$) and their other derivatives.

Charcoal $tube/CS_2$ method are more popularly used than any other in the measurement of the working environment for the exposure evaluation of organic solvent, but it is some weak points that the lower accuracy can be obtained on the polar materials and within the range of the low concentration. Thus solvent desorption method has been developed to make accuracy higher and to overcome some weak points. However, because of high price of adsorption tube for thermal desorption and the short of study on its application to the working environment, it is not popularly used in the domestic industrial hygiene fields. This dissertation aims to develop thermal desorption and adsorption tubes for measuring organic solvents in the working environment, by comparing and analyzing breakthrough condition and adsorption capacity with ACF. Specific surface area of ACF used in this study is wider than the one of AC and micropore of ACF related with adsorption has been developed, and adsorption velocity and adsorption amount are very excellent by linking a pore of surface and an inside well into micropore. 1. Result of analysis on physical characteristics of adsorbent, the specific surface area of ACF was 1.3 times higher than that of AC. Distribution ratio of micropore related to adsorption was 94% on ACF and AC. Result of SEM, micropore of the AC is opened to the surface. In contrast, ACF shows that extremely fast adsorption speed. Because of micropore are exposed on the surface and penetrate through each other. 2. Breakthrough characteristics of adsorbents was not different from slop of breakthrough curve. The effluent concentration reaches 10% of initial concentration($C_{out}/C_{in}=0.1$, break point) of ACF was 30~316min longer than that of AC. Therefore, the adsorption capacities of ACF was 1.1~4.6 times higher than that of AC. ACF can be used as a proper adsorbent for measurement of organic solvent.

Some of men have been suffered from the insufficient secretion of testosterone causing by physical factors, social and psychological factors. Testosterone is an essential steroid hormone controlling male reproductive function. Alternative medicines in plants, fungi, and insects have been studied to enhance sexuality. $Cordyceps$ species including $Cordyceps$ $sinensis$ (CS) and $C.$ $militaris$(CM) has been used as for the enhancement of sexual functionfor hundreds of years in Far East Asian. In the present study, we determined the effect of fruiting bodies of $C.$ $militaris$ which cultured on bee drone medium (CMD) and brown rice medium (CMB) on testosterone concentration in Sprague-Dawley rats. Eighteen rats per group were housed to regular diet or diet supplemented with CMB and CDD, respectively for 4 weeks. Serum was collected from 6 rats per group. Results showed that changes of the body weight, food and water intake of the rats were not observed in this study. However, both CMB and CDD increased the serum testosterone concentration in rats. Furthermore, CMD significantly stimulated testosterone production (p <0.05) compared to the control. Hence, it suggests that $C.$ $militaris$ fruiting bodymight be developed as a complementary medicine to improve sexual hormones.

This study was performed to investigate the physiological responses of Oplopanax elatus by water condition. Drought stress was induced by withholding water for 26 days. The results show that $P_{N\;max}$, SPAD, gs, E and Ci were significantly decreased with decreasing of soil moisture contents. However, AQY and WUE were decreased slightly only at 26 day. This implies that photosynthetic rate is reduced due to an inability to regulate water and $CO_2$ exchange through the stomatal. According to JIP analysis, ${\Phi}_{PO}$, ${\Psi}_O$, ${\Phi}_{EO}$ and $PI_{ABS}$ were dramatically decreased at 21 day and 26 day, which reflects the relative reduction state of the photosystem II. On the other hand, the relative activities per reaction center such as ABS/RC, TRo/RC were significantly increased at 26 day. Particularly, Dio/RC and DIo/CS increased substantially under drought stress, indicating that excessive energy was consumed by heat dissipation. These results of chlorophyll a fluorescence show that the sensitivity changes photosystem II activity. Thus, according to the results, O. elatus was exhibited a strong reduction of photosynthetic activity to approximately 10% soil moisture contents, and JIP parameters could be useful indicator to monitor the physiological states of O. elatus under drought stress.
