Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation coefficients between anthropometric parameters of the foot and kinetic variables during running. Method: This study was conducted on 21 healthy young adults (age: $24.8{\pm}2.1yes$, height: $177.2{\pm}5.8cm$, body mass: $73.3{\pm}7.3kg$, foot length: $256.5{\pm}12.3mm$) with normal foot type and heel strike running. To measure the anthropometric parameters, radiographs were taken on the frontal and sagittal planes, and determined the length and width of each segment and the navicular height. Barefoot running was performed at a preferred velocity ($3.0{\pm}0.2m/s$) and a fixed velocity (4.0 m/s) on treadmill (Bertec, USA) in order to measure the kinetic variables. The vertical impact peak force, the vertical active peak force, the braking peak force, the propulsion peak force, the vertical force at mid-stance (vertical ground reaction when the foot is fully landed in mid-stance or at the point where the weight was uniformly distributed on the foot) and the impact loading rate were calculated. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between anthropometric variables and kinetical variables. The significance level was set to ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: At the preferred velocity running, the runner with longer forefoot had lower active force (r=-.448, p=.041) than the runner with short forefoot. At the fixed velocity, as the navicular height increases, the vertical force at full landing moment increases (r= .671, p= .001) and as the rearfoot length increases, the impact loading rate decreases (r=- .469, p= .032). Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference in the length of fore-foot and rearfoot, and navicular height. Therefore it was conclude that anthropometric properties need to be considered in the foot study. It was expected that the relationship between anthropometric parameters and kinetical variables of foot during running can be used as scientific criteria and data in various fields including performance, injury and equipment development.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinetical variables of the lower extremity joints when performing uchimata(inner thigh reaping throw) by uke(receiver)'s two posture(shizenhon tai), jigohon tai), by voluntary resistance level(VRL) in judo. The subjects, who were for 3 male Korean national representative judokas(elite group : EG) and 3 male representative judokas of Korean University(non-elite group: NEG), and were filmed 4 DV video cameras(60fields/sec.), that posture of uke were shizenhon-tai (straight natural posture), jigohon-tai(straight defensive posture), VRL of uke was 0%. The selected trials were subject to 3-dimensional film motion analysis and ground reaction force(MRF) analysis. The kinetical variable of this study were temporal, postures( ankle and knee angle of attacking leg), that were computed through video film analysis, MRF at events were obtained from the ground-reaction force analysis by AMTI force plate system. When performing uchi-mata according to each posture and by VRL, from the data analysis and discussion, the conclusions were as follows : 1) Temporal variables : total time-required(TR) when performing uchi-mata was shown EG 0.13sec the shorter than NEG(o.77sec.) in shizenhon-tai. and EG 0.17sec the shorter than NEG(o.76sec.) in jigonhon-tai. Also, all of two groups' jigohon-tai(0.68sec.) were faster than shizenhon-tai(0.71 sec.). 2) The posture variables : The angle of ankle in attacking when performing were plantar flexion in EG, and dorsi flexion in NEG by shizenhon-tai and jigohon-tai posture. The angle of knee in attacking when performing were extension in EG and NEG, but range of extension in EG were larger than in NEG. 3) MRF : Vertical MRF when performing uchi-mata was shown the strongest in the 2nd stage of kake phase(2.23BW) by EG in both posture, and it was same value by NEG(2.23BW), but shizenhon-tai (2.28BW), jigohon-tai(1.64BW), respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of the kinematical and the kinetical factors that calculated from preflight to preflight of salto forward straight 3/2 turn motion between skillers and less-skillers. four S-VHS video cameras operating at 60Hz were used to record the performances. Five elite male gymnasts were participated in this study as subjects. Three-dimensional coordinates of 21 body landmarks during each trial were collected using a Direct Linear Transformation method. The raw 3-D coordinates of the 21 body landmarks were smoothed using a second order lowpass, recursive Butterworth digital filter and a cutoff frequency of 10Hz. Load cells attached on the beneath of a board were used to attain the kinetic variables. It was found that the more angular momentum in the longitudinal axis, the less vertical velocity and these angular momentum effected the height of peak in the preflight. Also, it was revealed that the larger angular momentum in the medio-lateral axis was rather than it in the longitudinal axis to increase vertical height and rotation force of the body. For the reaction force of springboard, the vertical and the horizontal reaction force were 16.52BW and 3.45BW, respectively. It was found that the higher value of the vertical reaction force induced the faster vertical velocity and the higher an ar momentum. of the whole body center of gravity.

Polyanion-polycation complexes had been known for a long time on an empirical basis fromthe mutual precipitation of proteins, before Kossel at the end of the previous century recognized the electrostatic nature of the interaction between oppositely charged polyions. The formation of polyelectmlyte complexes is essentially a result of the electrostatic nature of the interaction between oppositely charged polyions. This interaction in the macroscopic homogeneous system the phase transition by polysalt precipitation as well as the chemical and physical structure of polyelectrolyte complex membranes have been intensively investigated from the themodynamical and kinetical point of view.

In this paper, an electromagnetic force driving actuator (EMFA) and three-link mechanism are proposed as a driving mechanism and connection device for low voltage air circuit breaker (ACB). As the result of dynamic characteristic analysis, the actuator and link mechanism are designed from the simulation and manufactured. The magneitc field of the EMFA is analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). The dynamic characteristic analysis with calculation of the circuit equation and kinetical equation is performed by the time difference method (TDM). Also, the result of the analysis is verified through the experiment of the fabrication model. In this paper, the EMFA size is smaller than the actuator for high voltage circuit breaker. Thus, the dynamic characteristic is analyzed with end-winding inductance that is calculated by the same method which is applied on the circle type end-winding of motors. The designed model for 1600 ampere-frame ACB and the three-link mechanism for connecting contact part with actuating part are manufactured. It is confirmed that the three-link mechanism is possible for improving the circuit breaker efficiency and reducing the size of the EMFA. It is proved that the improved 2-D analysis is more accurate than established method.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of the kinematical and the kinetical factors that calculated from preflight to postflight of salto forward straight 3/2 turn motion between skitters and less-skitters. four S-VHS video cameras operating at 60Hz were used to record the performances. five elite male gymnasts were participated in this study as subjects. three-dimensional coordinates of 20 body landmarks during each trial were collected using a Direct Linear Transformation method. The digitized body landmarks were smoothed using a Butterworth second order with low pass digital filter and a cutoff frequency of 10Hz. 1. A skitter, got a high score for performance, showed shorter time and faster horizontal velocity than a less-skitter at the board contact. also, a skitter extended quickly his knee and hip joint after contacting board for preflight phase. 2. A skitter revealed faster time and horizontal velocity the vault from taking off board than a less-skiller. A skitter took a long time and high distance to get the vertical peak compared with a less-skiller. 3. For the second phase, a skitter, who executes the most optimal motions among the subjects, displayed a long flight time, a high height, and a far flight distance as well as maintaining consistent horizontal speed even at the peak of post flight. On the other side, a less-scorer displayed a slow vertical velocity, distance and a short time at the point of take-off from vault as well as low height at the peak of post flight.

In this work, lipid oxidation and the kinetics of the oxidation reaction in fried file-fish meat were investigated when sun-dried file-fish was stored under the conditions of various water activities and temperature, 35, 45, 55 and $35/55^{\circ}C$. The storage stability and the development of browning by oxidative rancidity were also discussed. Monolayer coverage value of water content in dried file-fish was $8.03\%$ at $0.21\;a_w$Lipid oxidation at $35^{\circ}C$ was developed with increasing water activity but at $45^{\circ}C$and $55^{\circ}C$ it was rapidly progressed without clear differences between water activities except $0.44\;a_w$. The rate of reaction was more sensitive to storage temperature than to water activity. Browning in methanol-chloroform fraction was developed linearly by the progress of lipid oxidation which suggested that lipid oxidation was greatly influential to the development of browning in dried fish meat. In kinetical analysis the oxidation followed a zero order reaction mechanism as a function of carbonyl value. The activation energies obtained from the Arrhenius plot ranged 9.0 to 10.8 Kcal/mol and $Q_10$ values, 1.6-1.7. Shelf-lives at the storage of 35,45 and $55^{\circ}C$ ranged 58 days to 8 days. And in the fluctuating temperature storage at $35/55^{\circ}C$, shelf-lives were 17, 16, 15 and 13 days at 0.44, 0.52, 0.65 and $0.75\;a_w$, respectively. The shelf-lives for assessed from the accelerated shelf-life test were 125, 123, 120 and 106 days at 0.44, 0.52, 0.65 and $0.75\;a_w$, respectively, in the case of storage at $25^{\circ}C$.

A kinetical approach for the non-enzymatic browning reaction of the dried file-fish was studied. The reaction rates revealed a tend to increase with increasing water activity and showed the maximum at $0.75\;a_w$ The activation energies obtained from the Arrhenius plot ranged 12.5 to 16.5 Kcal/mole. From these energies of activation, the $Q_{10}$ values at $45^{\circ}C$ showed 1.9 to 2.3 and both activation energy and $Q_{10}$ values were reduced with increase in $a_w$ Shelf-lives, the time to reach an 0.15 O.D./g solid at which severe brown color change could be de ectable, decreased rapidly as the temperature and water activity increase. A storage study under a square-wave fluctuating temperature condition (at 35 and $55^{\circ}C$ periodically with 7 days interval), the rate constants at all water activities used in the experiments were higher than those at $45^{\circ}C$, the mean temperature of the cycle which affects other kinetic parameters including activation energies, $Q_{10}$ values and finally the shelf-lives. The data obtained from the fluctuating temperaure storage study will be used in prediction of shelf-life. The shelf lives assessed at $25^{\circ}C$ from the accelerated shelf-life tests ranged from 179 daysat $0.75\;a_w$ to 302 days at $0.44\;a_w$.
