  • 300 MHz proton NMR spectra of human blood plasma were analyzed by deconvolution of spectrum, and we compared its results with Fossel's test in normal (15 cases), liver cancer (14 cases) , and other cancer (14 cases) groups. This analysis had enabled us to obtain dynamic characteristics of each individual lipoprotein. As a result of deconvolution method, the VLDL and chylomicron intensity level were found to be elevated in the patients with liver cancer. Moment ratio values of $CH_2$ resonance in the raw spectrum were found to be higher than the normal group for patients with, malignant tumors other than liver cancer. These differences between the three groups could not be found in the conventional Fossel's test. We could simulate plasma spectra by addition of spectra of individual lipoproteins through deconvolution method. Further clinical trials in larger populations and additional biochemical method may shed new light on many of clinical and biochemical interests for knowing characteristics about lipoprotein not separated from blood and the background of Fossel test.

  • The mean values of total protein, albumin, globulins and A/G ratio of synovial fluid from the normal tibiotarsal joints of 55 healthy Korean native cattle were investigated. The results obtained were summarized as followings. 1. The mean values of synovial total protein for the entire group were $0.98{\pm}0.05g/dl$, with a range of 0.43 to 1.83g/dl for individual samples, and $1.00{\pm}0.07g/dl$ in slaughtering cattle and $0.92{\pm}0.06g/dl$ in living group, respectively. Compared with serum, synovial fluid contained far less total protein(p<0.01). 2. The mean values for the group were; albumin, $0.42{\pm}0.02g/dl$, globulins, $0.56{\pm}0.04g/dl$, and A/G ratio, $0.99{\pm}0.10$, with a range of 0.17-0.82g/dl, 0.03-1.32g/dl, and 0.15-3.15 for individual sample, respectively. 3. No statistical significant differences in the mean values of total protein, albumin, globulins, and A/G ratio have been observed between the synovial fluids of slaughtering and living animals. 4. Significant correlations existed between the globulin levels of synovial fluid and serum(r=0.3939), but the other values were not established.

  • The main purpose of this study is to find out what teaching method is more effective than others through experiments for college students. Therefore, this study aims to review various effective methods of vocabulary teaching. According to the results of the experiments, the methods of teaching vocabulary through the process of word formation and meaningful words led to the high scores at the posttest regardless of the scores gained by the individual subjects at the pretest. However, the method of teaching vocabulary through context showed that the improved scores at the posttest generally reflected the individual differences of the scores at the pretest. That is, in the latter, it is recognizable that the subjects who achieved the high scores at the pretest did very well at the posttest as well. In conclusion, judging from the mean rate of improvement, the method of teaching vocabulary through word formation seems to be more effective than that of teaching vocabulary through meaningful words and context.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore and empirically analyze the factors affecting the financial performance of Korean small- and medium-sized manufacturing companies, which are relatively insufficiently researched, in terms of human resource management (HRM). In particular, this study intends to examine the human resource management activities focusing on the individual influences of workers' attitudes on systems and policies as well as jobs and organizations. This study reviews previous research and discussions on the human resource management system, as well as the organization and job-related attitudes and financial performance of workers, for the formulation of two hypotheses. Among the HCCP data, the hypothesis was verified through reliability and correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis for small- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises. The results show, firstly, that human resource systems and systems have the same effect, but there were differences in the degree of impact. Secondly, job satisfaction has a statistically significant influence on financial performance. Lastly, all worker/employee attitude determinants are statistically significant for both job satisfaction and organizational commitment. HRM, previously relatively overlooked, provided theoretical and practical implications by demonstrating the direct impact on financial performance and the impact of individual human resource management systems and policies.

  • 야구에서 승률 추정은 매우 중요한 문제이며 현재 이 분야에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 쌍별 승률추정은 팀대 팀의 경기결과를 이용하여 전체 승률을 추정하는 방법으로써 각 팀들의 추정된 승률의 합이 상수가 된다는 타당성을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 한국프로야구에서 피타고라스 승률과 선형 승률에 쌍별 추정을 적용하고 효율성을 RMSE와 MAD를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 사용된 데이터는 2013년부터 2016년 사이의 모든 한국프로야구 팀대 팀 기록이며, 그 결과 쌍별 피타고라스 추정이 기존의 방법들보다 RMSE와 MAD 측면에서 바람직하다고 간주되었다. 또한 쌍별 피타고라스 추정에 사용되는 바람직한 지수 값의 결정에 대하여 설명하였으며 추정에 사용된 지수 값의 변화에 따른 RMSE와 MAD의 차이는 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

  • This study was attempted to individualize upper and lower incisor position appropriate to individual characteristic dento-facial pattern. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 75 Korean adults with normal occlusion and good facial profile whose ages were over 17 years were traced, digitized, and statistically analysed. The results of this study were as follows; 1. All cephalometric measurements of incise. position and dento-facial pattern for normal occlusion showed wide range of variation. 2. There were no significant differences of incisor position between males and females. 3. Lower incisor position was highly correlated with ANB, N-A-Pog and SN/Mand. pl. angle and upper incisor position, with ANB, N-A-Pog and SN/Occ. pl. angle. 4. Multiple regression equations were established to individualize incisor position appropriate to individual characteristic dento-facial pattern. ANB and N-A-Pog angle were selected as the significant guiding variables affecting upper and lower incisor position. 5. Lower incisor position such as $\bar{1}$ to SN, $\bar{1}$ to occlusal plane and $\bar{1}$ to NPog(mm) and upper incisor position such as $\underline{1}$ to SN, $\underline{1}$ to palatal plane, $\underline{1}$ to NA, $\underline{1}$ to NA (mm) and $\underline{1}$ to NPog(mm) could highly predicted from the variables of dento-facial pattern.

  • This study was designed to examine the phoneme recognition errors of hearing-impaired (HI) listeners on a consonant-by-consonant basis, to show (1) how each HI ear perceives individual consonants differently and (2) how standard clinical measurements (i.e., using a tone and word) fail to predict these differences. Sixteen English consonant-vowel (CV) syllables of six signal-to-noise ratios in speech-weighted noise were presented at the most comfortable level for ears with mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss. The findings were as follows: (1) individual HI listeners with a symmetrical pure-tone threshold showed different consonant-loss profiles (CLPs) (i.e., over a set of the 16 English consonants, the likelihood of misperceiving each consonant) in right and left ears. (2) A similar result was found across subjects. Paired ears of different HI individuals with identical pure-tone threshold presented different CLPs in one ear to the other. (3) Paired HI ears having the same averaged consonant score demonstrated completely different CLPs. We conclude that the standard clinical measurements are limited in their ability to predict the extent to which speech perception is degraded in HI ears, and thus they are a necessary, but not a sufficient measurement for HI speech perception. This suggests that the CV measurement would be a useful clinical tool.

  • This study reveals some recent attempt in modeling empirically obtained B&K HATS (Head and Torso Simulator) HRTFs (Head Related Transfer Functions) to Isolate parameters that stimulate lateral and elevation perception. Localization using non-individual HRTFs often yields poor performance in synthesizing virtual sound sources when applied to a group of individuals due to differences in size and shape of head, pinnae, and torso. For realization of both effective and efficient virtual audio it is necessary to develop a method to tailor a given set of non-individual HRTFs to fit each listener without measuring his/her HRTF set. Pole-zero modeling is applied to fit HRIRs (Head Related Impulse Responses) and modeling criterions for determining suitable number of parameters are suggested for efficient modeling. Horizontal HRTFs are modeled as minimum-phase transfer functions with appropriate ITDs (Interaural Time Delay) obtained from RTF (Ray Tracing Formula) to better fit the size of listener's head for usage in simple virtualizer algorithms without complex regularization processes. Result of modeling HRTFs in the median plane is shown and parameters responsible for elevation perception are isolated which can be referred to in the future study of developing customizable HRTFs.

  • Genomic DNA was isolated from the Gracilaria vermiculophylla (GRV) and G. chorda (GRC) from Jangheung located in the southern sea of the Korean Peninsula, respectively and we performed clustering analyses, DNA polymorphisms and the genetic differences. The seven selected primers OPC-01, OPA-04, OPA-05, OPD-07, OPD-08, OPB-10, and OPD-16 generated average bandsharing (BS) value, the genetic distance and dendrogram. The size of DNA bands varies from 90 bp to 2,400 bp. The average BS value was $0.859{\pm}0.004$ within GRV and $0.916{\pm}0.006$ within GRC. The average BS value between two Gracilaria species was $0.340{\pm}0.003$, ranged from 0.250 to 0.415. The dendrogram obtained by the seven primers, indicates two genetic clusters. The genetic distance between two Gracilaria species ranged from 0.059 to 0.513. The individual VERMICULOPHYLLA no. 07 of GRV was genetically closely related to VERMICULOPHYLLA no. 06 of GRV (genetic distance=0.059). Especially, two entities between the individual VERMICULOPHYLLA no. 10 of GRV and CHORDA no. 22 of GRC showed the longest genetic distance (0.513) in comparison with other individuals used. Accordingly, as mentioned above, PCR analysis showed that the GRV was a little more genetically diverse than the GRC species. We convinced that this DNA analysis revealed a significant genetic distance between two Gracilaria species pairs (p<0.01).
