Medicinal plant Rehmanniae Radix has long been used as traditional herbal medicine in Korea. In this study, we investigated quantitative changes of marker substance 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) in Rehmanniae Radix Preparata fermented with Ganoderma lucidum, Paecilomyces japonica, honey, and Nuruk, using HPLC according to the Korean Pharmacopoeia. As a result, 5-HMF was decreased in SDT and SYT, and increased in SST and SNT, comparing with control group. Quantitative increasing of 5-HMF is not exactly in direct proportion with fermentation, and it is need further studies to elucidate mechanism of quantitative changes by converted and newly produced substances with fermentation.

Isolation and quantitative determination of costunolide from Saussurea lappa Clarke (Compositae) has been conducted by using HPLC method. Costunolide in an acetone extract from the crude drug was separated on a RP-18 column using a $MeOH-H_20$ mixture (65:35) as an eluent and the average content is about $1.32{\sim1.42%.$ The content of costunolide in dried extract was decreased by about 24% in seven days. However it showed a slight decrease in solution. It is highly recommended that quantitative determination of costunolide from Saussureae Radix should be conducted as early as possible after solvent extraction.

A method for isolation and quantitative determination of patchouli alcohol from Pogostemonis Herba (Pogostemon cablin) has been developed. Isolation of patchouli alcohol was achieved by column chromatography employing the normal-phase gradient separation system n-hexane-ether on silica gel column. The GC method for quantitative determination of patchouli alcohol provided a method for standardization of the raw drug. It suggested that the average content of patchouli alcohol in Pogostemonis Herba is about 0.26%.

As many companies have adopted and used ERP systems, concerns about ERP performance also have increased. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between qualitative variables and quantitative variables measuring ERP performances. Qualitative research, widely used in MIS research, typically examines perceived usefulness of ERP, such as information quality, system quality, system satisfaction. Quantitative research, often done in accounting research, usually examines ERP performance based on financial statements. An empirical study led to the following conclusions: 1) There were significant correlations among the qualitative variables measuring perceived usefulness of ERP; 2) Significant correlations were also observed among the quantitative variables based on financial statements; 3) However, no significant correlations was found between the qualitative variables and quantitative variables measuring ERP performance.

National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) provides underpinning to boost international and domestic competitiveness in basic science and engineering (S&E) research. In 2012, NRF came up with the idea about implementing koreanized grant funding system and a NRF grant funding mechanism on basic research was applied to General Researcher program. The main components of the mechanism are 1) no final evaluation, instead intensive evaluation for next proposal submission, 2) no paper account report, instead reporting it online, 3) no lengthy final report, instead unloading a brief overview of research achievements. For successful establishment of the NRF grant funding mechanism, the quality and quantity-based quantitative guidelines of research achievement for various research areas are essential. In this study, we suggest 3 quantitative indexes and these quantitative guidelines provides a supplementary tool for researcher's capability review. These guidelines will be also useful to elevate the reliability and objectivity of peer review.

The methods of applied genetic toxicology are changing from qualitative hazard identification to quantitative risk assessment. Recently, quantitative analysis with point of departure (PoD) metrics and benchmark dose (BMD) modeling have been applied to in vitro genotoxicity data. Two software packages are commonly used for BMD analysis. In previous studies, we performed quantitative dose-response analysis by using the PROAST software to quantitatively evaluate the mutagenicity of four piperidine nitroxides with various substituent groups on the 4-position of the piperidine ring and six cigarette whole smoke solutions (WSSs) prepared by bubbling machine-generated whole smoke. In the present study, we reanalyzed the obtained genotoxicity data by using the EPA's BMD software (BMDS) to evaluate the inter-platform quantitative agreement of the estimates of genotoxic potency. We calculated the BMDs for 10%, 50%, and 100% (i.e., a two-fold increase), and 200% increases over the concurrent vehicle controls to achieve better discrimination of the dose-responses, along with their BMDLs (the lower 95% confidence interval of the BMD) and BMDUs (the upper 95% confidence interval of the BMD). The BMD values and rankings estimated in this study by using the EPA's BMDS were reasonably similar to those calculated in our previous studies by using PROAST. These results indicated that both software packages were suitable for dose-response analysis using the mouse lymphoma assay and that the BMD modeling results from these software packages produced comparable rank orders of the mutagenic potency.

In this paper, a problem of Thai sign language recognition using a neural network is considered. The paper addresses the problem in classifying certain signs conveying quantitative meaning, e.g., large or small. By treating those signs corresponding to different quantities as derived from different classes, the recognition error rate of the standard multi-layer Perceptron increases if the precision in recognizing different quantities is increased. This is due the fact that, to increase the quantitative recognition precision of those signs, the number of (increasingly similar) classes must also be increased. This leads to an increase in false classification. The problem is due to misinterpreting the amount of quantity the quantitative signs convey. In this paper, instead of treating those signs conveying quantitative attribute of the same quantity type (such as 'size' or 'amount') as derived from different classes, here they are considered instances of the same class. Those signs of the same quantity type are then further divided into different subclasses according to the level of quantity each sign is associated with. By using this two-level classification, false classification among main gesture classes is made independent to the level of precision needed in recognizing different quantitative levels. Moreover, precision of quantitative level classification can be made higher during the recognition phase, as compared to that used in the training phase. A standard multi-layer Perceptron with a back propagation learning algorithm was adapted in the study to implement this two-level classification of quantitative gesture signs. Experimental results obtained using an electronic glove measurement of hand postures are included.
