The purpose of this study was to evaluate speech production ability of congenitally deaf children with cochlear implant. Forty children were participated in the study. The results are following: (1) mean of speech intelligibility score was 3.05 in 5 point scale, (2) mean of percent of correct vowels was 86.19%, and mean of percent of correct consonants was 74.89%, and (3) voice profiles showed their voice were high pitched, hypernasal, and breathy. But 12.5% of the children were evaluated as having normal voice quality. Overall speech production abilities of children with cochlear implant were superior than the deaf children's result reported in literatures. Meanwhile their abilities were not same as children with normal hearing.

Avian and mammalian skeletal muscles exhibit a remarkable ability to adjust to physiological stressors induced by growth, exercise, injury and disease. The process of muscle recovery following injury and myonuclear accretion during growth is attributed to a small population of satellite cells located beneath the basal lamina of the myofiber. Several metabolic factors contribute to the activation of satellite cells in response to stress mediated by illness, injury or aging. This review will describe the regenerative properties of satellite cells, the processes of satellite cell activation and highlight the potential role of satellite cells in skeletal muscle growth, tissue engineering and meat production.

Production management confronted the environment of infinite competition should be prepared to abrupt variations of management environment and have the ability to be changed in short term. It has to be studied, the control method of products that correspond to multi-functionalization and reduced product life which is caused by high-quality and varied customers demands. As a process control method, we most be able not only to control varies characteristic in a control at once but also to detected special values quickly for high-quality. In this paper a control method referred above is presented.

For an industry, production capacity is defined as the maximum level of output that plants can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, taking account of normal downtime, and assuming sufficient availability of inputs to operate machinery and equipment in place. Such capacity is one of the important and basic due to measure, manage and evaluate the production performance and ability of any industrial bodies. However, the estimating methods now in use in Korea are seemed far from the definition above. And there are not any standard estimating method suggested even in the same sort of manufacturing and also no applicable theory for objective and exact measurement. Thus, in this paper, a new measuring model is suggested as standard and supporting theories are developed for general measurement purpose to any manufacturing industries.

In the automated manufacturing systems, the problem regarding how to make production activities flexible is even more important and critical than that regarding how to product large quantities, and the more flexible, if possible, the manufacturing system is, the more competitiveness and profitable factors it gets. This research, therefore, concentrated on establishing the flexibility and evaluating performance on the manufacturing system, operational flexibility is considered because of enabling the manufacturing system to get both the improvement of production rate and the adaptive ability of environment changes. For it, we used the analytical tool, GSPNs, which is a kind of timed Petri-Nets. GSPNs is competent enough to consider practical situations just like operation priorities, machine failure, randomness, concurrency and so on. Through the GSPNs analysis, it is confirmed that in the manufacturing system with operational flexibility is compatible with the traditional performances such as production rate or mean waiting time.

This study addresses the problem of flexible technology acquisition in multi-product market when demands are uncertain. We confine the concept of flexibility to the ability of manufacturing system to produce a number of different types of products, called product-mix flexibility type. And an analytical model in which economies of scope is incorporated explicitly as a feature of flexible technology is presented to find the optimal investment decision to acquire flexible technology and optimal production planning. The characteristics of optimal investment strategy related to capacity and production planning are discussed.

The growth of Lactobacillus casei in milk was enhanced by adding yams. Addition of 1% yam(raw or dry) promoted the cell growth and acid production in fermented milk. The milk containing 1% yams formed the complete curd by lactic acid fermentation at 37oC for 19hr while the milk without yams showed the incomplete curd formation. The crude mucilage extracted from a raw yam also enhanced the cell growth as well as the acid production. Addition of mucilage(0.08%) showed the similar effects with adding heat treated yam(1%). The milk fermented by adding various yams showed the high scores for sensory evaluation comparing with the milk fermented without yams. The fermenting ability of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus kefir and Leuconostoc mesenteroides was evaluated by adding 1% of a dry yam in milk. A dry yam also enhanced the cell growth of L. acidophilus resulting in the high acid production. The viable cell counts of L. casei, L. acidophilus and Leuc. mesenteroides except L. kefir were increased by adding 1% of a dry yam.

Microbial of enzymatical methods are suitable for production of rare monosaccharides. Using oxidation and reduction ability of Microorganisms, various rare ketoses and polyols can be produced, for example D-tagatose from galagtitol by Enterobacter agglomerans strain 221e. L-tagatose from galactitol by Klebsiella pheumonias strain 40b, L-psicose from allitol by Gluconobacter frateurii IFO 3254, D-talitol from d-tagatose by Aureobasidium pullulans strain 113B, allitol from D-psicose by Enterobacter agglomerans strain 221e and so on. We can produce various rare aldoses and ketoses using aldose isomerases, for example L-galactose from L-tagatose by D-arabnose isomerase, and L-ribose from L-ribulose by L-isomerase, and so on. D-Tagatose 3-epimerase of Pseudomonas sp. ST-24 is very useful for preparationof various rare ketoses, for example D-psicose from D-fructose, D-sorbose from D-tagatose, L-fructose, from L-psicose and so on. Using polyol dehydrogenases, aldose isomerases and D-tagatose 3-epimerase, we can design the suitable for production of a certain rare monosaccharide from a suitable substrate.

Facility layout for enterprise's competitive power strengthening and construction of offensive manufacture line and direction presentation for design of production management system that is new by operation improvement according to S company. In enterprise in JIT(Just in Time) system of leading persons affecting in productions among a lot of habitat factor analyze. It is that through equipment Layout among those factors enterprise my problem improve and serves enterprise's absolute ability cultivation. Even if it is JIT production main point that affect to apply the modular production to productive system among at equipment Layout, lot size, bottleneck session etc. worker's multi-function anger, change of demand factor and productive capacity add. 'S' Through enterprise's example, I wish to establish Korean medium and small enterprises' manufacturing industry style equipment Layout model by taken place effect interpretation.
