This study investigated speech rate and intonation slope (least square method; F0, quarter-tone) in normal and CI children's utterances. Each group consisted of 12 people and were divided into groups of children with CI operation (before 3;00), children with CI operation (after 3;00), and normal children. Materials are composed of four kinds of grammatical dialogue sentences which are lacking in respect. Given three groups as independent variables and both speech rate and intonation slope as dependent variables, a one-way ANOVA showed that normal children had faster speech rates and steeper intonation slopes than those of the CI group. More specifically, there was a statistically significant speech rate difference between normal and CI children in all of the sentential patterns but imperative form (p<.01). Additionally, F0 and qtone slope observed in sentential final word showed a significant statistical difference between normal and CI children in imperative form (f0: p<.01; q-tone: p<.05).

We consider the problem of oscillation and nonoscillation solutions for unstable type second-order neutral difference equation : $\Delta^2(x(n))-p(n)x(n-\tau))=q(n)x(g(n))$. (1) In this paper, we obtain some conditions for the bounded solutions of Eq(1) to be oscillatory and for the existence of the nonoscillatory solutions.

In this paper, we will establish some new oscillation criteria for the second-order half-linear delay difference equation $${\Delta}(Pn ({\Delta}Xn)^{\gamma})+q_nx_\array{{\gamma}\\n-{\sigma}}=0,\;n{\geq}n_0$$, where ${\gamma}>0$ is a quotient of odd positive integers. Our results in this paper are sharp and improve some of the well known oscillation results in the literature. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.

The baseline selection is the first and important step to analyze magnetocardiography (MCG) parameters. There are no difficulties to select the baseline between P- and Q-wave peak (P-Q interval) of MCG wave recorded from healthy subjects because the P-Q intervals of the healthy subjects do not much vary. However, patients with ischemic heart disease often show an unstable P-Q interval which does not seem to be appropriate for the baseline. In this case, T-P interval is alternatively recommended for the baseline. However, there has been no study on the difference made by the baseline selection. In this study, we studied the effect of the different baseline selection. MCG data were analyzed from twenty healthy subjects and twenty one patients whose baselines were alternatively selected in the T-P interval for their inappropriate P-Q interval. Paired T-test was used to compare two set of data. Fifteen parameters derived from the R-wave peak, the T-wave peak, and the period, $T_{max/3}{\sim}T_{max}$ were compared for the different baseline selection. As a result, most parameters did not show significant differences (p>0.05) except few parameters. Therefore, there will be no significant differences if anyone of two intervals were selected for the MCG baseline. However, for the consistent analysis, P-Q interval is strongly recommended for the baseline correction.

Closed kinematic chain exercises such as squatting have been widely indicated for knee rehabilitation in patients with patellofemoral disorders such as osteoarthritis and patellofemoral pain. Patellofemoral disorders are thought to be associated with abnormal patellar kinematics. In addition, the Q-angle may be undervalued in patients with patellofemoral pain and a laterally displaced patella. The purpose of this study was to assess patellar kinematics and the Q-angle during double-leg semi-squat and wall-slide semi-squat exercises. In this study, 28 asymptomatic subjects(16 male, 12 female) were assessed. Patellar tilt, patellar spin, and Q-angle were recorded using a motion analysis system during double-leg semi-squat and wall-slide semi-squat exercises. The Q-angle and patellar tilt were significantly increased, whereas patellar spin was significantly decreased, at $45^{\circ}$ of knee flexion compared with $0^{\circ}$. No differences were observed for the Q-angle, patellar tilt, and patellar spin during double-leg semi-squat and wall-slide semi-squat exercises. However, a significant interaction was observed between squat type and knee angle for patellar spin. We found that the patella is laterally tilted during semi-squat exercises and that there was no difference in patellar tracking between knee flexion during double-leg semi-squat and wall-slide semi-squat exercises.

본 논문에서는 ROM의 크기를 줄여 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있는 DDFS를 제안하였다. 새롭게 제안된 ROM 압축방식은 두 개의 ROM을 사용하여 원하는 주파수를 합성함으로써 전체적인 ROM들의 크기를 줄여준다. 표본화된 사인파의 양자화 값은 양자화 ROM(Quantized ROM : Q-ROM)과 차동 ROM(Differential ROM : D-ROM)에 저장된다. ROM 크기를 줄이기 위해 사인파를 양자화 할 때 일련의 차동 양자화 기술을 응용, 변형하여 두 개의 ROM을 사용한 QD-ROM 압축방식을 제안한다. 1/4주기의 사인파를 $2^L$개의 블록으로 나누어 양자화하고 이를 Q-ROM에 저장한다. D-ROM에는 Q-ROM의 표본화 간격을 $2^M$으로 나누어 표본화하고 양자화된 값은 그 블록의 표본화된 Q-ROM과의 차이만을 양자화하여 저장한다. 이렇게 함으로써 D-ROM에 저장되는 양자화 값의 최대 크기는 Q-ROM에 저장되는 양자화 값보다 작은 양이기 때문에 적은 데이터 길이로도 저장이 가능하다. 이를 사용함으로써 최대 67.5%의 ROM 크기를 감소시켜 전력소모를 줄일 수 있다.

Background: Palatal injections are often painful. We aimed to compare topical ice and 20% benzocaine gel for pre-injection anesthesia before greater palatine nerve block (GPNB) injections. Methods: A randomized split-mouth clinical trial was conducted among patients aged 15-60-years needing bilateral GPNB injections. A total of 120 palatal sites from 60 patients were randomly allocated to Group A (topical ice) or Group B (20% benzocaine gel). Pain was evaluated using sound, eye, motor (SEM), and the visual analog scale (VAS) in both groups. Inferential analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20.5 ± 3.9 years. The median VAS score for group A was 11 (Q1 - Q3: 5.25 - 21.75), which was slightly higher than the 10 (Q1 - Q3: 4.0 - 26.75) reported in group B. However, the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.955). The median SEM score for group A and group B was 3.5 (Q1 - Q3: 3.0 - 4.0) and 4.0 (Q1 - Q3: 3.0 - 4.0), respectively, which was statistically insignificant (P = 0.869). Conclusion: Using ice as a form of topical anesthetic for achieving pre-injection anesthesia before GPNB was as effective as 20% benzocaine gel.

식물의 초기 생활사가 종자크기에 따라 어떤 영향을 받는지를 알아보기 위하여 우리나라 산림군락에서 상수리나무, 굴참나무, 갈참나무, 졸참나무 참나무 4종의 열매를 3등급의 크기(대, 중, 소)로 구분하고, 그에 따른 4종의 발아율, 겨울철 생존율과 초기 생장율을 측정하였다. 평균 발아율은 종자가 큰 상수리나무와 굴참나무에서 높았고, 상대적으로 크기가 작은 갈참나무와 졸참나무에서 낮았다. 그러나 종 내 종자크기에 따른 발아율은 굴참나무에서만 종자가 작을수록 높았고, 나머지 3종은 종자크기에 따른 경향성이 없었다. 평균 초기 생장율은 종자크기에 비례하여 상수리나무, 굴참나무>갈참나무>졸참나무 순으로 낮았다. 초기 생장율은 상수리나무와 굴참나무에서 종자가 크거나 중간인 것이 작은 것보다 높았으나, 종자가 작은 갈참나무와 졸참나무 내에서는 종자크기에 따른 차이는 없었다. 겨울 동안의 생존율은 4종 모두 중간 크기의 종자에서 가장 높았으나, 졸참나무나 굴참나무는 작거나 큰 종자에서는 전혀 생존하지 않았다. 결론적으로 발아와 초기 생장에는 큰 종자가, 생존에는 중간크기 종자가 각각 유리하였다. 이것은 종자의 크기가 식물의 생활사에 미치는 영향은 생장단계에 따라 서로 다름을 의미한다.

To inspect the changing of the forest soil and plants community structrure by air plooutand & acid rain during from September to November in 1990, the smapling sites were selected in the Piwon, Namsan and Kwangnung forest. In sites, plots were set up in Q. aliena forest at Piwon, Quercus mongolica and Pinus densiflora forest at Namsan and Q. mongolica and Pinus densiflora forest at Kwangnung. To obtain the individual number of trees, number of species, importance values and species diversity, using the Curtis & McIntosh methods. The results are following that; 1) In Pinus densiflora community, it was almost dominated by Q. spp. in the canopy layer and P. densiflora and Carpinus laxiflora through the subtree to shrub layer at Kwangnung. It wassaid that C. laxiflora is the climax species in moddle temperature zone. On the contrary, in Namsan forest, there is no appearance thesamplings of P. densiflora & C. laxiflora, but Styrax japonica and Stephanandra incisa that are acid-tolerance species are dominant ones. On the other hand, in Q. spp. community, Q. spp. and C. laxiflora are dominant ones. On the other hand, in Q. spp. community, Q. spp. and C. laxiflora are dominant species through all layer, and in addition C. cordata somewhat appear at Kwangnung. But at Namsan and Piwon forest, Q. mongolica & Q. aliena that were dominant species in canopy layer disappeared in the subtreeand shrub layer, and C. laxiflora and Corunus cordata absolutely disappeared. It were similarly dominated by Robinia pseudo-acacia, Styrax japonica, Sorbus alnifolia, Acer pseudo-sieboldianum, Rhododendrn mucronulatum and so on at Namsn and Piwon forest. In the light of these facts, it found out that disclimax was similar between Namsan and Piwon forest. 2) Species diversity and maximum species diversity were decreased in Kwangnumg, Namsan, Piwon in order. It was xpected that vegetational community was affected by environmental pollutant. 3) As the vegetational community structure analyses, using DCA technique among the ordination, ecological successional series are stopped to Q. spp. from P. densiflora at Namsan and Piwon, but that of Kwangnung is on the way that P. densiflora, Q. alena, C. laxiflora. It was obvi ously different from Namsan and Piwon. 4) In Q. spp. & P. densiflora community, the number of woody plants inNamsan & Piwon is much less than that of Kwangnung through all Layer. Especially, Piwon shown very severe difference. Through all community, the number of individuals of Piwon and Namsan are less than that of Kwangnung. Specially, that of the shrub layer is obvious. 5) In the growth rate of trees, it found out that all sites showed the growth decline phenomena. Especially, since in 1975, there have been the micro disclimax phenomena in Q. community of Kwangnung. 6) In the Q. community, soil acidity of Namsan & Piwon measured 4.57, 4.40 respectively. It was very strong acidity and far lower than that of Kwangnung. Also the content amount of Mg++ in Namsan & Piwon forest were still lower than Kwangnung.
