Background: The International Commission on Radiological Protection is preparing to provide reference dose coefficients for environmental radioiodine intake based on newly developed age-specific biokinetic models. However, the biokinetics of iodine has been reported to be strongly dependent on the dietary intake of stable iodine; for example, the thyroidal uptake of iodine may be substantially lower in iodine-rich regions than in iodine-deficient regions. Therefore, this study attempted to establish a system of age-specific thyroid dose estimation for South Koreans, whose daily iodine intakes are significantly higher than that of the world population. Materials and Methods: Korean age-specific biokinetic parameters and thyroid masses were derived based on the previously developed Korean adult model and the Korean anatomical reference data for adults, respectively. This study complied with the principles used in the development of age-specific biokinetic models for world population and used the ratios of baseline values for each age group relative to the value for adults to derive age-specific values. Results and Discussion: Biokinetic model predictions based on the Korean age-specific parameters showed significant differences in iodine behaviors in the body compared to those predicted using the model for the world population. In particular, the Korean age-specific thyroid dose coefficients for ¹²⁹I and ¹³¹I were considerably lower than those calculated for the world population (25%-76% of the values for the world population). Conclusion: These differences stress the need for Korean-specific internal dose assessments for infants and children, which can be achieved by using the data calculated in this study.

Among 24 isolates of fluorescent Pseudomonads, 5 isolates named as LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4 and LPT5 were screened in vitro for their nematicidal activity against cyst forming nematode, Heterodera cajani causing patchiness, poor and stunting growth besides discoloration in Sesamum indicum. Second stage juveniles of H. cajani hatched from egg masses were collected from roots of host plant and subjected to fresh and heat-treated culture filtrate of isolates for 24 h. Mortality of H. cajani was recorded on the basis of parameters used for test organism bioassay. Among these isolates, Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPT5 caused maximum mortality towards second stage juvenile of H. cajani in vitro. Five isolates were used as seed coating for the management of cyst forming nematode H. cajani on sesame in green house condition. The strains LPT5 was better than the other strains in reducing the population of H. cajani both in vitro and in vivo. The reduction in cyst and juveniles population was found to be 49 and 60%, respectively when seeds were coated with strain LPT5. Among other strains, LPT4 was also found to inhibit the cyst and juveniles population 12 and 36% respectively. Increases in early vegetative plant growth parameters recorded in both in vitro and in vivo further revealed the significance of indigenous bacteria in comparison to introduced strain.

Reproductive biology and population dynamics of Latreutes planirostris were investigated on the south western waters of Korea from June 2001 to May 2002. This paper describes sex ratio, population growth, and reproductive aspects of Latreutes planirostris. Brood size was an isometric function of female carapace length. Based on dry weight, reproduction effort (mass of eggs/mass of female) averaged 0.23. Ovarian examination showed that there was significantly higher gonadosomatic index from May to September, with a peak in June. Statistical analysis revealed that the ovarian dry weight of females with eyed eggs was significantly higher than that of those with non-eyed eggs. This suggests that females were potentially consecutive breeders. Sex ratio showed that female is more numerous than male. Growth parameters mortality and recruitment were estimated by monthly length-frequency data. Growth parameters were estimated, using the seasonalized von Bertalanffy growth function model $(L\infty\;=\;12.70\;mm\;CL,\;K\;=\;0.87yr^{-1},\;C\;=\;0.96,\;WP\;=\;0.59)$. The recruitment pattern was twice a year.

가축 육종 체계 또는 선발방법의 상호 비교를 할 수 있도록 다형질 컴퓨터 모의실험을 위한 확률모형을 개발하고, 기존 연구결과로부터 얻어진 평균과 상가적 유전효과 및 잔여오차의 분산 및 공분산 값을 실험 모수로 사용하여 모의실험 축군을 생성하였고, 선발방법은 임의교배, 표현형가, 참육종가 및 추정육종가에 의한 선발 중에서 선택할 수 있도록 하였다. 개체의 육종가는 MTDFREML package를 사용하여 추정하였다. 모의실험 프로그램의 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 크기가 다른 세 축군을 20년간 임의교배하여 모의실험한 결과, 평균값과 분산 및 공분산 값은 모의실험 모수로 주어진 값과 비슷하였고, 축군의 크기가 클수록 모의실험 모수로 주어진 값에 더욱 근접하였으며 표준오차가 작아졌다. 임의교배를 계속함에 따른 근교계수와 축군 평균 및 분산의 변화를 확인하기 위하여 종모우 1두, 종빈우 10두를 유지하는 소축군 10개를 500년간 모의실험 한 결과, 근교계수의 변화는 이론적 추정함수와 비슷하였으며, 평균값은 작은 축군에서 세대에 따라 임의부동현상을 보였지만 근교계수가 증가하여 1에 가까워지면 일정한 값으로 수렴하였다. 축군내 분산은 근교계수의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 이상의 결과를 보면, 모의실험 모형에 의해 생성된 축군의 자료는 모의실험 모수와 같은 통계적 특성을 유지하는 것으로 사료된다.

We investigate both of central and dispersion tendencies of the observed test statistics in control charts in order to judge whether a production process is abnormal or not. In order to do it, first, we study about detection of changes of the population mean as a central tendency The $\bar{x}$ and x control charts are used for detecting the change of the population mean $\mu$. We shows the probability detecting the change of population mean using the $\bar{x}$ and x control charts. Secondly, we study about detection of changes of the population standard deviation as a dispersion tendency in the s control chart. In our studies, for the given several parameters the detection probabilities of changes of central and dispersion tendencies are calculated, the necessary sample size values n are suggested for detecting the changes, and their informations are given as various tables.

We estimated the influence of environmental factors on zooplankton communities at 25 reservoirs during winter (December 2010 to January 2011). Among zooplankton groups, Cyclops vicinus is more dominant during winter, and this is positively related to withered vegetation area and dissolved oxygen level. Therefore, the presence of withered vegetation might be considered as an important factor to determine C. vicinus distribution during winter. We considered that withered vegetation might be utilized as a habitat for C. vicinus, as well as provide an attachment substrate for periphytic algae. Abundance of periphytic algae can lead to high concentration of dissolved oxygen. Although copepods prefer high water temperatures for increasing their population growth, if Cyclops can overcome low temperature stress that leads to disruption of population, their population growth initiation in the next growing season (i.e. next spring) is possibly propelled by the winter population.

The ostracode foraminifera microbiogenic sediments of the Nagdon Estuary, which is a deltaic, have been analysed. Twenty four species representing seventeen genera of ostracodes and some species representing twenty three genera of foraminifera are identified and counted. From these data their geographical distribution patterns aree obtained and biotopes are determined in relation to the sediment distribution and hydrological parameters. There are several tendencies in the distribution of ostracodes and foraminifera. Both ostracode and foraminiferall population increased seaward. The ratio of foraminiferal population to the sum of the ostracode and the foraminiferal population, as well as the ratio of calcareous foraminifera to the sum of calcareous and agglutinated foraminiferal population, also increased seaward. The biotopes can be divided into two. Biotope I is the innershore environment and Biotope II offshore environment.

A $2{\times}2$ crossover design including carryover effect is considered for assessment of population bioequivalence of two drug formulations in a Bayesian framework. In classical analysis, it is complex to deal with the carryover effect since the estimate of the drug effect is biased in the presence of a carryover effect. The proposed method in this article uses uninformative priors and vague proper priors for objectiveness of priors and the posterior probability distribution of the parameters of interest is derived with given priors. The posterior probabilities of the hypotheses for assessing population bioequivalence are evaluated based on a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation method. An example with real data set is given for illustration.
