  • The author investigated the timing of land and wrist ossification events taking place in the hamate and pisiform by means of roentgenographic examination and its relation to the peak growth velocities in body height. Materials obtained included 493 sheets of X-ray films taken from 257 boys ana 236 girls aged between 7 and 17 years lived in Seoul area. The results indicate that; 1) The average ages at occurrence of initial ossification of the hook of the hamate were 12 years 3 months in boys and 10 years 1 month in girls. 2) The average ages at which advanced ossification of the hook of the hamate occurred were 13 years 7 months in boys and 11 years 11 months in girls. 3) Initial ossification of the pisiform appeared at 13 years 0 month in boys and 10 years 2 months in girls. 4) All three ossification events in hand and wrist, and peak growth velocity in body height occurred earlier in girls than in boys. 5) Initial ossification in the hook of the hamate and pisiform preceded or coincided with peak growth in body height in most boys and girls, on the other hand, advanced ossification in the hook of the hamate occurred around peak growth in body height but in girls did it after peak growth in body height. 6) It would appear that initial ossification in the hook of the hamate or in the pisiform, both for boys and girls, provides a better indication of approaching peak adolescent growth in body height. 7) Advanced ossification in the hook of the tamale would indicate that the period of cercumpuberal peak growth had teen entered or finished.

  • Ecological restoration is considered a good means to prevent biodiversity loss in terms of the ecosystem's health and sustainability. However, there are difficulties in putting it into practice as there is no comprehensive and objective standard for the selection of plant species, such as environmental, ecological factors, and restoration goal setting. Therefore, this study developed an evaluation index necessary for selecting plant species for restoration using the Delphi method that synthesizes the opinions of the expert group. A survey with 38 questionnaires was conducted twice for experts in ecological restoration, etc., and the importance and priority of evaluation indicators were analyzed by dividing the restoration targets into inland and island regions. The result of the importance analysis showed that "native plants" had the highest average of 4.9 among the evaluation indices in both inland and island regions, followed by "seed security", "propagation", and "root growth rate". In the inland region, the index priority was analyzed in the order of "native plants", "appearance frequency", "root growth rate", "distribution range", and "seed security" in the island region, it was analyzed in the order of "native plants", "root growth rate", "appearance frequency", "distribution range", and "tolerance", showing slight differences between the two indicators. As a result of the importance and priority indicator analysis, we set the mean importance and priority of 4.1 and 2.9, respectively, in the inland region and 4.2 and 2.9, respectively, in the island region. As for the criteria of selecting plant species for ecological restoration, the "native plants" had the highest importance and priority. "Seed securing", 'viability", "topography", "proliferation", "tolerance", "soil conditions", "growth characteristics", "early succession", "distribution range", "appearance frequency", and "germination rate" were classified into subgroups of low importance and priority. The lowest indicators were "final stage of succession", "transition period", 'transition stage", "root", "reproduction", "soil", "appearance", "technology", "landscape", "climate", and "germination rate". We expected that the findings through objective verification in this study would be used as evaluation indicators for selecting native plant species for ecological restoration.

  • Modern men are much more interested in their appearance than ever before, as well as showing an increased need for uniqueness in order to construct their own sphere and pursue differentiation from others. Besides, changes in life style and the aesthetic sense are causing men to pursue various kinds of clothing benefits so that they want a suit with characteristics beyond the stereotyped design and style. They have started to be actively engaged in clothing purchases, forming a driving force for the growth of the male suit market. Hence, this study has significance in that it offers data conducive to consumers' custom suit purchase by reviewing data on the present condition of the custom suit market and bespoke suits. In addition, it aims to give a summary on the theoretical bases of preceding studies, including the need for uniqueness, pursuit of clothing benefit and concern for the appearance of male consumers, as well as examining the factors that influence on their bespoke suit purchase intentions. Accordingly, this work intends to construct a basic environment for consumers to approach the custom suit market easily and pave the way for male suit markets through offering marketing data and information that is helpful for custom suit-related markets.

  • Pathogen infection in plants induces complex responses ranging from gene expression to metabolic processes in infected plants. In spite of many studies on biotic stress-related changes in host plants, little is known about the metabolic and phenotypic responses of the host plants to Pseudomonas cichorii infection based on image-based analysis. To investigate alterations in tomato plants according to disease severity, we inoculated plants with different cell densities of P. cichorii using dipping and syringe infiltration methods. High-dose inocula (${\geq}10^6cfu/ml$) induced evident necrotic lesions within one day that corresponded to bacterial growth in the infected tissues. Among the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters analyzed, changes in quantum yield of PSII (${\Phi}PSII$) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) preceded the appearance of visible symptoms, but maximum quantum efficiency of PSII ($F_v/F_m$) was altered well after symptom development. Visible/near infrared and chlorophyll fluorescence hyperspectral images detected changes before symptom appearance at low-density inoculation. The results of this study indicate that the P. cichorii infection severity can be detected by chlorophyll fluorescence assay and hyperspectral images prior to the onset of visible symptoms, indicating the feasibility of early detection of diseases. However, to detect disease development by hyperspectral imaging, more detailed protocols and analyses are necessary. Taken together, change in chlorophyll fluorescence is a good parameter for early detection of P. cichorii infection in tomato plants. In addition, image-based visualization of infection severity before visual damage appearance will contribute to effective management of plant diseases.

  • To our knowledge, the imaging features of costochondral grafts (CCGs) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) have not been documented in the literature. We present the case of a CCG in the facial soft tissue to the anterior mandible, with changes mimicking a cartilaginous neoplasm. This is the first report to describe the CBCT imaging features of a long-standing graft in the anterior mandible. Implants or grafts may be incidental findings on radiographic images made for unrelated purposes. Although most are well-defined and radiographically homogeneous, being of relatively inert non-biological material, immune reactions to some grafts may stimulate alterations in the appearance of surrounding tissues. Biological implants may undergo growth and differentiation, causing their appearance to mimic neoplastic lesions. We present the case of a cosmetic autogenous CCG that posed a diagnostic challenge both radiographically and histopathologically.

  • Microbiological and sensory evaluations of chicken wings treated with acetic acid and trisodium phosphate(TSP) during retail(1${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$) and refrigerated storage(4$^{\circ}C$). Chicken wings(average weight of 15${\pm}$2g per leg) were treated with 0.5∼2% aerobic plate counts(APC) on the surface of chicken wings for storage of 16 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. During storage of 12 days at retail store(1${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$), the treating chicken wings with 7.5∼10% TSP solutions for 10 min showed significantly inhibitory effect in preventing the growth of aerobic microbes. For odor and appearance scores, chicken wings treated with 0.5∼2% acetic solutions resembled untreated wings for storage of 16 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. However, both odor and appearance scores of chicken wings treated with 2.5∼10% TSP solutions were similar to those of untreated wings for storage of 4 days, and a higher in the storage of beyond 8 to 12 days at retail store.

  • In the history of fashion, the category of knitted items was traditionally associated with ordinary clothing products like undergarments and socks. However, in a mere century Chanel has changed that idea by bringing into fashion consciousness items such as sports sweaters, jerseys, and suits, and so it has been necessary to upgrade this notion. As the needs of the times and new inventions have an inseparable relationship, knit fashion was also born with a close relationship with the zeitgeist of the time - the feminine movement, the rise of sports fashion and the world war - adapting itself up to the present time through continuous changes. Most brands are elevating knit from a mere decoration into a collection piece in a large number of collections every year. The number of brands that cannot exist without knit is increasing, such as Sonia Rykiel, Missoni, and so on. This essay is written with the purpose to study the birth, growth and future potential of knit items. The first stage concentrates on the age of knit's appearance (1910s-1930s). Contingent upon the collection of further data, this essay will be continued through the second stage (the 1960s - 1970s) and the third stage (after the 1980s).

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and sensory quality changes from packing methods(PE; $85{\mu}m$ thick, vacuum; PE+LLDP+nylon; $50{\mu}m$ thick), and storage temperatures($3^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$) and length of storage(1, 2, 4, 6 day) on the different types of processed potatoes(washed, peeled, or cut). Microbiological quality decreased gradually and significantly throughout the storage period in all cases. The processed potatoes stored at $3^{\circ}C$ with vacuum packing after immersion in chlorine water showed the lowest microbiological growth and had higher scores for the sensory quality factors(appearance, flavor and texture). The processed potatoes stored at $10^{\circ}C$ were rated wily better appearance, but they showed unacceptable microbiological quality at up to 4 days of storage. Overall, a temperature of $3^{\circ}C$ is recommended to maintain acceptable of microbiological and sensory quality in processed potatoes used in foodservice operations.

  • Purpose: Nevus sebaceous is a distinctive growth commonly found on the scalp, forehead and retroauricular region. Nevus sebaceous has age-related changes in morphologic and histologic appearance. Secondary neoplasm including basal cell carcinoma is found in 20% of the nevus sebaceous which were not treated properly. So, we report a case of basal cell carcinoma that is arising in nevus sebaceous but has no malignant appearance. Methods: A 38 year-old female patient wanted to excise the lesion on scalp. It looked like typical nevus sebaceous because we didn't find any malignant appearances. We excised the lesion including minimal normal tissue. Results: After the excision of the lesion, pathologist reported the nevus sebaceous with multifocal basal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Many patients want to excise the nevus sebaceous that stands out to other people. But they don't know the potency of malignant changes. So, plastic surgeons have to notify the potency and make plan for proper treatment.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out optimum conditions for zinc crystalline glaze under variables of firing: maximum firing temperature, crystal growth temperature, temperature increasing speed, annealing speed, holding time at maximum temperature and holding time at crystal growth temperature. Ferro Frit3110, ZnO and Quartz were used as starting materials and tested by three component system. The best result of test was selected and extended to its vicinity as five glaze formulas. And then the specimens were experimented by variable firing conditions and analyzed by crystal appearance observation, XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. In result, main crystal was willemite in the zinc glazes. Some gahnite was detected in specimens which were fired at $1230^{\circ}C$, $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1270^{\circ}C$, however gahnite was not identified at $1300^{\circ}C$. Optimum zinc crystalline glaze was gained by following firing condition: temperature increasing speed $5^{\circ}C$/min, holding 1 h at $1270^{\circ}C$, annealing speed $3^{\circ}C$/min till $1170^{\circ}C$, holding 2 h at $1170^{\circ}C$ then naturally annealed.
