In the Part I, the three dimensional model testing with NNW deep water wave direction gave the results such that the occurrence of breaking waves over the peak of Ear-Do caused very small wave height at the structure position. But the measured wave forces were rather greater than the calculated forces based on deep water wave height. Furthermore, It was also perceived that the time series of the forces looked like corresponding to the case that waves were superimposed by an unidirectional current. In the present Part II, the current is presumed to be a flow secondly induced by breaking waves, and an extensive study to clarify the current in a quantitative sense is performed through numerical analysis and hydraulic experiment. The results showed that a strong circulation can surely occur in the vicinity of the structure due to radiation stress differentials given by the breaking waves. It was also recognized that the velocity of the induced current varied with the magnitude of energy dissipation rate introduced in the numerical analysis. The numerical analysis was tuned adjusting the dissipation rate so that the calculated wave field could closely match with the experimental results of Part I. The fluid force (in prototype) for the optimal match showed approximately 2.2% increased over the calculated value based on the deep water wave height (24.6m) whereas the force corresponding to the average of the experimental values showed the increase of about 13.0%.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between socio-economic factors and self-rated health among older people living in the community. In addition, the study tries to determine whether risk differentials by these socio-economic factors can be explained by other demographic factors, chronic diseases, and functional status. We surveyed to investigate the self-rated health of 397 study samples which had been selected by stratified randomized sampling, $2.7\%$ by each Dong (district) of S-city in Gyeonggi-do. Our study found that the socioeconomic factors such as income, occupation, and insurance were significantly associated with self-rated health. The level of social economic status was positively associated with the level of self-rated health. Two-staged multivariate analysis demonstrated that this relationship was still significant even after adjustment for demographic factors, chronic diseases, and functional status. In conclusion, there are wide socio-economic disparities in self-rated health of older people in this community. It is important that government should know not only health status but also the health-associated factors in order to prepare for the aged society and improve the health status of the elderly. Further researches should uncover causality and mechanism by which SES affects changes in functional health among the elderly.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a pleomorphic disease entity characterized by local or disseminated atypical Langerhans cells (LCs) found most commonly in bone, lungs, mucocutaneous structures and endocrine organs. Among different sites, unifocal disease confined to a lymph node (LN) is rare. We report a case of LCH confined to a LN in a 38-year-old male who presented with a 2 cm-sized cervical mass. The fine needle aspiration (FNA) smears of cervical LN showed high cellularity having isolated LCs with contorted nuclei and nuclear grooves mixed in multinucleated giant cells, small lymphocytes and eosinophils. Charcot-Leyden crystals were also seen, as were a few dendritic-like cells and intranuclear inclusions. Confirmation of LCH was made by histopathologic studies, positive reactions for S-100 protein and CD1a immunohistochemical staining and by the demonstration of Birbeck granules on electron microscopy. The differentials to be considered include dermatopathic lymphadenitis, sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, Hodgkin's lymphoma and malignant histiocytosis. The characteristic cytomorphologic pattern of LCH in a LN FNA smear plays an important role in suggesting the diagnosis of LCH.

이 논문은 중궁의 가족적 특성과 츨상력의 관계를 보다 면밀하게 알아보기 위해 사회 문화적 특성을 근간으로 하는 가구유형을 분류, 이들간의 출산수준을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 1990년에 실시된 제 4 차 중국인구센서스 자료 중에서 조선족이 밀집하여 거주하고 있는 길림성내 연변 조선족자치주의 50% 표본자료를 활용하였다. 가구유형별 출산수준을 분석하기 위해 자료를 가구구성특성에 따라 네가지 유형으로 재구성하였다. 가족경제의 생산단위와 세대구성을 기준으로 고립형, 병렬형, 직계형, 전통형의 네가지 가구유형을 분류하여 각각의 유형별 특성에 따른 차별출산력을 한족과 조선족의 네가지 가구유형을 분류하여 각각의 유형별 특성에 따른 차별출산력을 한족과 조선족을 중심으로 비교해 보았다. 이를 통해 농가와 비농가의 가구형태 또는 세대구성의 성격아 출산수준과 갖는 상관관계와 이에 영향을 미치는 주요 결정요인들을 파악하는데 중점을 두었다. 또한 중국의 사회 경제적요인과 결부하여 전통적으로 유지되던 가족관이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지를 민족별 출산수준을 통해 비교해 보았다. 연구결과 가부장적 가족주의를 해체하고 집단적 공동생산 체제를 대체시키려는 중국의 사회주의 정책이 현실적으로는 가족중심의 생산체제와 전통적 가족주의를 변화시키지 못한 것으로 보인다. 특히 가구유형에 따른 출산수준의 편차는 두 민족간에 차이를 보여 주었다. 한족이 여성의 직업이나 교육수준에 따라 가구유형별 출산수준의 편차가 크게 변화되는 것과는 달리 조선족은 비교적 전통적인 세대관 이 강조되는 다가구 유형에서 높은 출산수준을 나타내는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이는 중국의 인구정책과 경제개방 시행과정에서 약소민족인 조선족의 저출산력과 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 이에 따라 가구 유형별 출산수준에 대한 영향력이 한족에 비해 적었던 것으로 지적할수 있다.

This paper examines the performance of the coherent Lee-Carter method for the mortality forecasting for the Republic of Korea combined with Japan and the Taiwan Province of China as a group by comparing it with the separately applied Lee-Carter method. It narrowed the gap of life expectancies between three countries from 6.8 years to 3.0 years in 2050, with higher life expectancy forecasts for the Taiwan Province of China and lower ones for Japan than with the separate forecast. This method did not affect the sex-combined life expectancy forecast for the Republic of Korea, but it accelerated the mortality decline for ages 65 and over and decelerated it for the younger age groups, diminishing sex differentials of life expectancy at a slower speed. It suggests that the integration of regional mortality information into mortality forecasting of one country gives several advantages in terms of short run fit within each country as well as long run convergence between countries, a modification of the age pattern of mortality decline, and a consistent application of the forecasting of subgroups within a country.

This study examines whether educational differentials in health are greater in more recent cohorts in Korea. This study utilizes latent growth-curve modeling to examine intercohort trends in health for three educational subgroups, using panel data (2003-2007) based on a national probability sample of 9,639 adults. Among young and middle adults with less than a high school diploma, the 4-year newer cohort demonstrated better health at the same age, implying a favorable trend. Middle and older adults with college level and a high school diploma also enjoyed favorable trends in health. This study suggests the possibility that the education-based overall disparity in health is increasing, but there are variations in the trend depending on age group. The increasing disparity mainly occurred among older adults.

본 연구는 한국 기혼여성의 차별출산력 분석으로 인구학적 특성으로 연령, 초혼연령, 혼인상태 및 가족유형(가구구성)을 포함하구 사회경제적 특성으로 거주지역, 교육정도, 경제활동상태, 직업 및 주택 점유형태를 포함하였다. 통계청의 인구주택총조사를 원자료로 하여 인구 및 사회경제적 변인들이 출산력에 미친 영향을 파악하기 위하여 다변량 분석기법을 이용하였다. 초혼연령이 높아지면서 출산수준은 현저히 낮아졌으며, 배우자와 동거하는 기혼부인의 출생아수가 가장 많았으며, 이혼한 경우 가장 적었다. 자녀양육을 위한 부모의 도움을 받을 수 있는 3세대 이상 가족이 동거하는 가구의 경우 출산수준이 상대적으로 높았다. 그러나 최근 이혼이 급증하면서 유배우 상태가 빠르게 감소하구 1세대나 독신가구의 증가와 3세대 이상 가구의 감소는 앞으로의 출산수준을 더욱 빠르게 할 것이다. 사회경제적 특성별 차이에서도 유사한 현상을 발견할 수 있었다. 도시규모가 클수록, 학력수준이 높을수록, 전문사무직종에 근무할 경우, 그리고 전월세로 거주할 경우에 출산수준이 낮았다. 사회경제적 특성별 출생아수의 차이는 1980년에 가장 컸으며, 그 후 지속적으로 감소하고 있다. 더욱이 출산수준이 높은 농촌인구의 급감, 교육수준의 향상으로 교육간 차이의 감소 농어업직에 종사하는 기혼여성의 감소 등은 전체적인 출산수준을 빠르게 감소시키는 요인으로 작용하였다. 기혼부인의 특성별 출생아수의 차이는 여전히 뚜렷하였으나 그 차이는 점차 감소하고 있다. 또한, 출생아수가 많은 집단의 구성비가 빠르게 줄어드는 것을 감안하면 전체적인 출산수준의 감소는 더욱 빨라질 수 있다. 앞으로 2005년 인구주택총조사의 결과가 발표될 때 그 간의 특성별 출생아수의 차이와 인구구성비의 변화를 분석하면 대체출산수준에 근접한 1980년 이후 빠른 출산력의 감소원인을 이해하고 출산력의 장래 변화를 효과적으로 예측하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

This study defined engineering mechanism and compensation method to establish reference pressure of smoke control zone with atmospheric pressure that is compensated for temperature. The reliable pressure differential sensor was developed by establishing the specifications, algorithms and constructing engineering data. The development of pressure differential sensor can cut down number of processes, manufacturing and installation cost by removing pressure measurement pipe established separately for non smoke control zone, and improve the accuracy of pressure differential by embedding pressure measurement ports for non smoke control zone. More correct and reliable pressure differentials can be obtained by the central control rather than the existent individual control. This will provide the basics and the flexibility to the integral smoke control system and accordingly improve the performance of disaster prevention.

Sweet syndrome is characterized by acute onset of fever. neutrophilic leukocytosis, painful erythematous plaque on the face and extremities, infiltration of mature neutrophils in the dermis. Cutaneous lesion and clinical symptoms rapidly improve after treatment with systemic corticosteroids. The cause of sweet syndrome is unknown but the associations with hypersensitivity to bacteria, virus, or tumor antigen have been reported. Sweet syndrome itself can be a premonitory manifestation of malignancy, so diagnostic work up for other internal malignancy is recommended. Because of fever and leukocytosis, cutaneous infections are important differentials. Sweet syndrome can be divided into 4 categories according to associated disease and symptom. (Idiopathic Sweet syndrome, Parainflammatory Sweet syndrome, Paraneoplastic Sweet syndrome, Pregnacy associated Sweet syndrome.) Sweet syndrome is relatively rare disease and the association with myelodisplastic syndrome has been reported. We report a case of Sweet syndrome associated with myelodisplastic syndrome which has initial manifestation of odontogenic buccal cellulites.

Isolates of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) strains classified based on virulence in silt resistant soybean cultivars caused the same reactions in soybean cultivars used as differentials as those obtained by sap inoculations to the same cultivars. Five species of aphids (Myzus persicae SULZ., Aphis craccivora KOCH, Aphis citricola VAN., Rhopalosiphum maidis FIT., End R. padi L.) were able to transmit each of SMV strains. However, R. maidis and R. padi were inefficient vectors for transmission of SMV strain G3. Spread if four SMV strains (G2, G3, G6, and G7) was monitored in the field from sapinoculated plants in a one meter row of Williams soybeans (source plants) to plants in an adjacent row of Williams 80cm away (test plants). Test plants wert downwind from the source plants. A complete block design was used. Spread of strain G6 was significantly greater than that of other three strains. Two hundred six aphids were collected from June 27, 1979 to August 2, 1979 in the same field. A. citricola was the mist prevalent, comprising $68\%$ of the total aphids. Yields of Williams inoculated with each strain were also compared. Yields were the least from plants inoculated with strain G2 following G6, G3, and G7 in that order.
