The quadriceps angle (Q angle) has been used to reflect the quadriceps muscle's force on the patella in the frontal plane. Previous investigations of the Q angle and it's relationship to knee disorders have yield equivocal results. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to the Q angle and it's relation to other variables such as leg length, body weight, CTA (calcaneus to tibia angle), TOA (toe out angle), and pelvic width in normal subjects. The participants were 60 students (30 men and 30 women) who had no orthopedic and neurological impairments, aged from 20 to 29 years of age, with an average age of 22.1 years. Prior to participation, each subject was informed of the procedures of the experiment from a researcher and assistant researchers. The equipment used in this study were modified standard goniometer, ruler, marking pen, and Martin apparatus for pelvic width. In order to determine the statistical significance of the experiment, regression analysis, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation were used at the 0.05 level. The results were as follows: 1) It was found that the Q angle of women is greater than that of men's from both knees. 2) There was no significant difference between right and left quadriceps angle. 3) The Q angle decreased as the body weight (leg length) shifted from low to high. 4) It seems that factors related to the Q angle were body weight, CTA, and pelvic width, but there was no significant difference at the 0.05 level.

우리나라의 주요 우점종인 상수리나무, 굴참나무, 신갈나무의 생태적 특성을 밝히기 위하여 식물생장에서 가장 중요하다고 판단되는 광, 토양수분, 영양소를 이들 3종의 참나무 유식물에 각각 실내에서 처리하여 그 생육반응을 관찰하고, 분석하고자 시도하였다. 상수리나무와 굴참나무는 광이 높을수록 잘 자라는 경향이 있었고, 신갈나무만이 뚜렷한 경향이 없었다. 신갈나무는 낮은 광도에서도 생육이 크게 감소하지 않았다 굴참나무와 신갈나무는 수분구배에 따라 생육의 차이가 없었고, 상수리나무만이 약간 높은 구배에서 잘 자랐을 뿐이었다. 상수리나무, 굴참나무와 신갈나무 모두는 영양소가 적을 때 잘 자랐고, 높을수록 못 자랐다. 영양소 구배에 따른 감소정도는 굴참나무, 신갈나무, 상수리나무 순으로 낮았다. 이상으로 볼 때, 신갈나무는 피음조건에, 상수리나무는 토양이 다습한 조건에 그리고 굴 참나무는 유기물이 적은 조건에서 각각 적응한 종이라고 판단된다.

In this paper, we establish some new oscillation criteria for a second-order delay dynamic equation $$u^{{\Delta}{\Delta}}(t)+p(t)u(\tau(t))=0$$ on a time scale $\mathbb{T}$. The results can be applied on differential equations when $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$, delay difference equations when $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{N}$ and for delay $q$-difference equations when $\mathbb{T}=q^{\mathbb{N}}$ for q > 1.

This study, to find whether a sports activity and a speciality aptitude activity in school-childhood can affect in forming E.Q, has been done in Gyoung-Nam area and Busan wide city with asked 222 of men and women being in their school-childhood and a group of 85 people who had not joined in such activity, using a E.Q testing paper provided by Dae-Gyo Education Corp,. and Seoul National University Educational Research Institute. Following is the results after analyzing the compiled datas. 1. The E.Q. level difference between people who joined, and who not joined in a sports action activity was reported existing, the total E.Q average of those who joined was resulted 212.6, a point 29.6 higher than those not joined of 183.0 ( p< .05). As for the E.Q causing points, it resulted that the points of the joined group is generally up than that of the non-joined group, especially this difference was remarkable in terms of feeling recognition or feeling control, a finding that deserves an attention ( p<.05) 2. Joining periods of sports activity did also have relation to develping E.Q. of school-childhood according to this research, the total E.Q points of a group joined in the activity more than 2 years was 215.5 points, which was 17.4 points higher than those not joined of 186.5 points ( p< .05). Backing again to E.Q causing points in this case, it resulted without exeption of all main causes that those who joined in more than 2 years are generally higher than that of those joined less than 2 years, especially the difference was regarded as big in terms of feeling recognition or feeling control, a finding that deserves an attention ( p<.01). 3. The E.Q. differnce between those joined in a specialty aptitude activity and not joined was studied existing, the total E.Q average points of those joined in a specialty aptitude activity was 207.8, a higher figure by 21.3 points than those not joined group of 186.5 ( p< .05). As for the E.Q causing points, it resulted without exeption of all main causes that those who joined are generally higher than that of those not joined, especially for feeling recognition or feeling control, this difference was more clear, a finding that deserves an attention ( p<.01). 4. It also resulted that E.Q growth depends on the periods to have joined in a speciality aptitude activity, for example, the total E.Q points of those joined in the activity more than 2 years was 217.1, a total more higher by 13.5 points than 203.6 of those not joined ( p< .05). For the E.Q. causing points, it, with the exception of empathy was resulted that those who joined in the speciality aptitude activity more than 2 years are generally higher than those joined less than 2 years, especially the difference is remarkable in terms of feeling recognition or feeling control, a finding that is also remarkable ( p<.05). 5. The E.Q difference between the men and women who joined in both activities of sports & speciality aptitude was found existing, the total E.Q. average for women was resulted 214.2 points, which was 9.2 points higher than men of 205.0. As for the E.Q. causing points, which, without exeption of main causes, women's was reported being high than that of men, in special is more remarkable in terms of feeling control, a finding that deserves an attention. ( p<.05).

We investigate the non-existence of finite order transcendental entire solutions of Fermat-type differential-difference equations [f(z)f'(z)]ⁿ + P²(z)f^m(z + 𝜂) = Q(z) and [f(z)f'(z)]ⁿ + P(z)[∆_𝜂f(z)]^m = Q(z), where P(z) and Q(z) are non-zero polynomials, m and n are positive integers, and 𝜂 ∈ ℂ \ {0}. In addition, we discuss transcendental entire solutions of finite order of the following Fermat-type differential-difference equation P²(z) [f^(k)(z)]² + [αf(z + 𝜂) - 𝛽f(z)]² = e^r(z), where $P(z){\not\equiv}0$ is a polynomial, r(z) is a non-constant polynomial, α ≠ 0 and 𝛽 are constants, k is a positive integer, and 𝜂 ∈ ℂ \ {0}. Our results generalize some previous results.

In this paper, we investigate uniqueness problems of certain types of $q$-difference polynomials, which improve some results in [20]. However, our proof is different from that in [20]. Moreover, we obtain a uniqueness result in the case where $q$-differences of two entire functions share values as well. This research also shows that there exist two sets, such that for a zero-order non-constant meromorphic function $f$ and a non-zero complex constant $q$, $E(S_j,f)=E(S_j,{\Delta}_qf)$ for $j=1,2$ imply $f(z)=t{\Delta}_qf$, where $t^n=1$. This gives a partial answer to a question of Gross concerning a zero order meromorphic function $f(z)$ and $t{\Delta}_qf$.

Leaf characteristics of two representative deciduous-tree species in Korean peninsula were compared to assess directional ridge effect on leaf traits of both species. Leaf mass per unit area (LMA) of Rhododendron schilippenbachii in south-facing ridge slope was significantly higher than that in north-facing ridge slope, while Quercus mongolica did not change LMA. Leaf mass of Q. mongolica was increased depending on leaf size irrespective of slope. However, leaf mass of R. schilippenbachii changed differently in responding to expansion of leaf area between both slopes resulting from retardation of leaf expansion in south-facing slope. R. schilippenbachii showed higher leaf nitrogen concentration per unit area (LNCA) in south-facing slope than that in north-facing slope, while Q. mongolica indicated no difference in LNCA between southand north-facing slopes. However, both species revealed no significant difference in leaf nitrogen concentration per unit mass (LNCM) between south- and north-facing slopes. LNCA of Q. mongolica was about two times higher than that of R. schilippenbachii. These results indicate that there is a difference in leaf characteristics including leaf thickness and nitrogen allocation between Q. mongolica and R. schilippenbachii, suggesting the difference of plasticity.
