Using the hematofluiorometer normal values of the erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin(ZPP) and ZPP/Heme ratio were measured in 312 males and 163 females aged from 6 month to 73 years old and compared with those of anemic persons. The mean$\pm$SD values of ZPP of normal Koreans were 28.5$\pm$6.4($\mu\textrm{g}$/dl) in males and 3.18$\pm$7.7 in females. the mean$\pm$SD of ZPP/Heme ratio were 49.5$\pm$12.3($\mu$mol/mol heme) in males and 62.0$\pm$15.8 in females. The difference in the mean ZPP and ZPP/Heme ratio values between male and female subjects were statistically signficant(p<0.0001) In male subjects the mean ZPP and ZPP/Heme ratio of the age groups less than 15 years old were higher than adult groups and the difference between age groups was significant(p<0.005 and p<0.0001 respecti-vely) The normal upper limit of the mean$\pm$2SD in normal male and female subjects were 41.3 and 47.2 for ZPP and 74.1 and 93.6 for ZPP/Heme ratio respectively. The mean values of ZPP and ZPP/Heme ratio measured in the anemic persons were higher than those of normal subjects and did not show any significant difference by the sex and age groups except in 6-14 years male groups. The test specificity(positivity) analyzed in the anemic persons by the cut-off values calculated from the normal data were 50.6% for ZPP and 73.0% for ZPP/Heme ratio. The correlation analysis between blood hemoglobin and erythrocyte ZPP or ZPP/Heme ratio in the total 801 normal and anemic subjects showed that there are very high logarithmic correlation between the hemoglobin levels and ZPP/Heme ratio (r=-0.8339) and high correla-tion between the hemoglobin levels and ZPP concentrations(r=-0.6372) These results suggested that the measurement of the erythrocyte ZPP and ZPP/Heme ratio with the hematofluorometer can be a usuful screening method for iron deficiency anermin because they provide a reliable immediate results with a small amount of sample and are relatively simple and inexpensive.

양식산 넙치의 인위적인 선별에 따른 암수 성비를 자연산 넙치의 성비와 비교하기 위하여 양식산과 자연산 각각 3개 지역에서 시료를 채집하여 총 841마리를 분석 하였다. 조사된 자연산 넙치의 성비는 암컷과 수컷의 비율이 각각 1.10~1.93, 0.52~0.91으로 암컷의 비율이 높게 나타났다. 양식산 넙치에서는 암컷의 비율이 0.20~2.15였으며, 수컷의 비율은 0.46~4.88이었다. 양식산 넙치의 경우 울진과 완도집단의 암컷 비율이 각각 2.03, 2.15로 높게 나타났으며, 진도집단은 반대로 수컷의 비율이 4.88로 아주 높게 나타났다. 이렇게 암수의 성비가 높게 나타난 것은 선별에 의한 결과라고 추정된다. 또한 각 집단별 체장조성에 따른 암컷의 비율은 체장이 클수록 암컷의 비율이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 넙치양식에서 성장이 빠른 암컷을 사육하는 것이 경제적이지만 인위적인 종묘생산에서 크기 선별로 작은 개체들이 자연생태계에 방류된다면 자연집단의 성비 불균형에 영향이 있으므로 자원조성을 위한 종묘방류는 균형 있는 성비도 고려하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Tooth is the most important element in esthetic consideration on facial area. Tooth alignment which is in harmony with gingiva, lips, and face is also key element. The purpose of this study was to give a clinical discipline for restoration of gingival contour, which contains a ratio of maxillary 6 anterior teeth, research for gingival contour etc., in case of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior teeth. 300 Dankook university dental school students ,who is their twenties and free from periodontitis, participate in this study. The result was from each 70 males and females who had normal occlusion and tooth alignment. Length, width and length/width ratio of maxillary 6 anterior teeth were 0.74-0.81 in male, 0.81-0.84 in female. There was significant difference between male and female. The most deepest position of gingiva in maxillary central incisor and canine was located in distal part of teeth and maxillary lateral incisor was middle portion. In maxillary central incisors, gingival line of the most deepest point appeared significant difference between male and female (p<0.01) whereas there was no difference in lateral incisors and canines. Distance between interdental papilla apex and the most deepest portion appeared significant difference between male and female. Distance of the deepest position of gingiva is statistically significant except maxillary central incisors and lateral incisors. Standard deviation and mean of the width of labio-lingual were measured in cervical area and there was a significant difference both male and female.(p<0.01) From this result, we could get the mean of maxillary anterior gingival line and these results have great value in clinical guidance in studying maxillary anterior teeth.

This work was conducted to evaluate the hatching and growing performance of Korean Native Ducks (KND) Pure Breeding Line (PL). A total of 400 male and female pullets were produced from PL to keep in National Institute of Animal Science, Korea. Pullets were divided into 4 treatments, 5 repetitions per treatment, and 20 heads per repetition. Four treatments were compared in a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement with 2 groups (White strains, WW; Jade Green strains, CC) for their parents and 2 groups (male and female). Livability was not significantly different at 20 weeks among male and female of 2 strains. There was no significant difference on body weight and feed intake between WW and CC strains (P>0.05), but there was significantly different on body weight and feed intake between male and female (P<0.05). The feed conversion ratio of female was higher compared to male (P<0.05), but there was no significantly different between CC and WW strains. These results provide the basic data to develope the new strains of Korean Native Ducks.

Jatropha curcas is an oil bearing species with multiple uses and considerable economic potential as a biofuel plant. Plant flowering and breeding characteristics are important for us to understand the reproduction of plant populations. The present study describes the floral biology and flowering phenology of J. curcas which is a prerequisite for hybridization program for genetic improvement through conventional breeding. The plant produces flowers in dichasial inflorescences. Normally, the flowers are unisexual, and male and female flowers are produced in the same inflorescence. Only a few male flowers are produced in an inflorescence, and fruits are produced only through pollination between different flowers from the same or different plants. This study includes a description of the inflorescence, flower anatomy of both male and female flowers, female : male ratio, pollen : ovule ratio, flowering phenology, pollen viability, stigma receptivity, comparison of selfing methods and a comparison of geitonogamy and xenogamy. This information may be useful in J. curcas breeding programmes.

In this study, we investigated the growth rate on the basis of the sex and the year among the subjects of the licensed dental technicians from the year 1970 to 2003 in Korea. In line with this investigation, this study aims to provide a basic material with regard to the state of dental technician workforce by sex and to suggest a need to reassignment of workforce by sex in accordance with the specific job description. The results of the study are as follows; First, among the licensed dental technicians from 1970 to 2003, males came to 11,589 and females, 5,976, which shows the number of males are 1.9 times higher than that of females. To put the mean sexual composite from 1970 to 2003, male was 82.9% and female 17.1%, indicating the number of males are 4.8 higher than that of females. Second, Of the mean increasing rate until the year 2003 in contrast to 1970, male was about 351 and female was about 181, which shows the number of males increased 1.94 times higher than the females. Comparing to the mean increasing rate of the last year, female came to 25.56% and male 10.73%, which reveals that the females were about 2.4 times higher than the males. In the case of the growth rate, females increased by 1,196,20 times and the males, 26,41. As a result the growth of females are about 45.3 times higher than the males. Third, in the case of the growth rate from 1980 to 2003, females came to 47.85 times and males 9.16, which shows the growth rate of the females was about 5.2 times higher than the males. In contrast to the year 1987, the growth rate until 2003 shows that the females came to 5,13 times and the males 2.70, which indicates the growth rate of females was about 1.9 times higher than males. Fourth, Compared to the year 1990, the growth rate until 2003 shows that females came to 3.40 times and males 2.03 indicating the growth rate of the females was about 1.7 times higher than males. In contrast to the year 2000, the growth rate till 2003 shows that females was 1,34 times and males 1.15 times increased. Fifth, the ratio of sex by the year among the licensed dental technicians is as follows; ratio of male to female in 1970 was 91.2 to 1. In 2003 the ratio came to 2.0 to 1. The number of growth by sex in 1970 came to 24.0 males to 1 female. But the figure was equalled in 2003.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gender differences on gait pattern and the kinetics on lower extremities according to the different gait speed. Ten collegiate male students (age : $23.80{\pm}2.94$ yrs, height : $179.40{\pm}5.04$ cm, weight : $66.57{\pm}5.64$ kg) and ten female students (age : $23.40{\pm}2.91$ yrs, height : $166.06{\pm}5.61$ cm, weight : $53.76{\pm}2.75$ kg) participated in this study. To investigate the role, the ratio of the use, and the effectiveness of each joint during gait, we examined the joint work and the contribution to total work. The results of this study were as follows: First, gait pattern was not differ between male and female, hip joint ROM increased with the increase of gait speed both male and female. Second, the eccentric work of the ankle joint decreased with the increase of the gait speed both male and female, on the other hand increased on the knee joint. Third, in the result of the contribution to total eccentric work, male in both the two gait speed was the biggest on the hips joint. However, female in normal gait speed was the greatest on the ankle joint, was the most on the knee joint in the fast gait speed. Forth, the concentric work on the ankle and hip joint increased with the increase of gait speed both male and female. Fifth, in the result of the contribution to total concentric work, there is no difference in the male both the two gait speed, however decreased in the female on the knee joint with the increase of the gait speed, on the other hand increased on the ankle joint.

This study investigates the use of different speech act of apology strategies between male and female EFL college students by comparing the components of intensity, stylistic competence, and semantic formulas. The data was collected from 37 participants who were studying freshmen English reading course at the Department of English Education of C University in Seoul. Most students were English majors taking pre-teacher course of teaching English for secondary school students. The participants were divided into two gender groups of male and female. The discourse completion test (DCT) which was revised from the speech act of apology by Olshtain and Cohen (1990) was provided with the participants after the researcher explained the speech act of apology in ten situations. The speech act of apology depends on situation variables: social solidarity, severity of offense, and social status. The results show that in the preference of intensity, male and female have almost the similar ratio in high (female: 24.7%, male 24%) and low intensity (female: 75.3%, male: 76%). In the use of stylistic competence, male group (21%) expresses more diversely formal features than female group (12%), while female (87%) use more informal features than male (66%). Most of participants show a limitation in the use of speaking four types of semantic formulas: expression of apology (APOL), acknowledgment of responsibility (RESP), offer of repair (REPR), and promise of forbearance (FORB). As nonnative speakers, the participants cannot conduct the semantic formula in some situations regardless of the tasks provided. The results suggest that English teachers should recognize pragmatic variations in which students feel difficulty in appropriate speaking strategies on apology. This study also contributes to teaching learners the strategies and speaking patterns in the course of various apology situations.
