In order to provide the basic data on an education program for successful breast-feeding, the nutrition knowledge of and attitudes toward breast-feeding and the factors associated with infant feeding decision among male and female college students were investigated. The majority of students had correct knowledge of the maternal-infant bonding through breast-feeding and knew more about baby-centered benefits than about mother-centered benefits of breast-feeding. Students' attitudes toward breast-feeding were not so positive as expected, and male students had more positive attitudes toward breast-feeding than female students had. 54.8% of students answered to practice breast-feeding longer than 3 months. Nutrition knowledge scores and attitude scores were significantly higher in the breast-feeding decision group than in the formula-feeding decision group. The students residing in a rural community decided breast-feeding significantly more than the students residing in an urban community. It was concluded that nutrition knowledge about the breast-feeding played a significant role in deciding infant feeding method. In order to increase breast-feeding decision rates among college students, the education program may need to focus on understanding of correct nutrition knowledge about the benefits of breast-feeding. Also it would be important to have male students participated in education program.

This study has been made to investigate into the relation between fatigue crack behavior and ferrite grain size. As experimental observation of the low-carbon steel specimen with the drilled micro-hole under rotating bending stress was made to accomplish this investigation. Obtained results are as follows; (1) The fatigue limit of micro-hole depends upon the magnitude of ferrite grain size, as indicated by the Hall-Petch formula. (2) The fatigue crack occurring around the micro-hole is of shear type, and the frequency of fatigue crack initiation depends upon the ferrite grain size. (3) The magnitude of ferrite grain size affects the behavior of fatigue crack propagation up to the crack size of 0.3mm. The effect, however, is negligible for the crack size larger than 0.3mm.

This study was conducted to investigate the weight of crown part effect on growth and bolting response of Ostericum koreanum Kitagawa. Bolting rate with crown part weight was represented 0%, 0%, 4.1%, 12.9%, 25.1%, 34.9% corresponding to each crown part weight 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 30 g, 40 g, 50 g. The heavier the crown part weight was the higher the direction rate rose and the flowering time came earlier. The dried root amount was the highest at 30 g and crown part number, the length of root, and crown diameter showed all the highest figures at 30 g. The relation between amount per 10 g and outcrop weight increased on secondary regression formula as weight increased and reached its peak at 29.7 g and then decreased over 29.7 g.

This study was carried out to develop the control system with PLC and its operating software and to investigate its control ability of greenhouse environments. Two experimental greenhouses were controlled by PLC and ON/OFF controller, respectively. In greenhouse controlled by PLC, target values of air temperature, relative humidity and $CO_2$ concentration were automatically changed. In warm-water heating, the variation of air temperature was reduced to $\pm$ $0.6^{\circ}C$ by the method of proportional-integration(PI) control with an inverter. In ventilation, the variation of air temperature was reduced, since windows open and close with multistage by mutual relation formula among the target, indoor, and outdoor temperature. Relative humidity at daytime was maintained with range of 35% to 55% by PLC controlled fogger. $CO_2$ concentration was automatically controlled from 300 to 800 $\mu$molㆍ$mol^{-1}$ according to amount of solar radiation. The suppling amount and frequency of nutrient solution were controlled by total integrated solar radiation. Difference in the yield of cucumber in the greenhouse controlled by PLC and by ON/OFF controller was not significant at the 5% level.

The natural frequencies and mode shapes of a system composed of subsystems on a supporting structure have been derived approximately. The system is modeled as a discrete system, and it is assumed that the masses of subsystems are much smaller than the mass of a supporting structure. It has been found that the fundamental frequency corresponds to the supporting structure, and each higher frequency corresponds to each subsystem. A relation between the vibration amplitudes of the supporting structure and subsystems is also derived for the case when the supporting structure is excited by a harmonic force.

Detailed field and strain dependence of the critical current and the n-value for an internal-tin processed $Nb_3Sn$ strand have been measured. Both the compressive and tensile strain is applied reversibly using Walter spiral probe made of BeCu up to 0.73 %. There is a correlation between the critical current and the n-value for the $Nb_3Sn$ strand studied in this work and the field dependence of the n-value is in agreement with a recent empirical formula. It was further shown that the critical current can be reasonably well fitted by the scaling law based on strong-coupling theory of superconductivity using the relation between the critical current and the n-value.

After algebraic expressions for the roots of 3rd and 4th degree polynomial equations were given in the mid 16th century, seeking such a formula for the 5th and greater degree equations had been one main problem for algebraists for almost 200 years. Lagrange made careful and thorough investigation of various solving methods for equations with the purpose of finding a principle which could be applicable to general equations. In the process of doing this, he found a relation between the roots of the original equation and its auxiliary equation using permutations of the roots. Lagrange's ingenious idea of using permutations of roots of the original equation is regarded as the key factor of the Abel's proof of unsolvability by radicals of general 5th degree equations and of Galois' theory as well. This paper intends to examine Lagrange's contribution in the theory of polynomial equations, providing a detailed analysis of various solving methods of Lagrange and others before him.

In this paper we investigate how Newton discovered the generalized binomial theorem. Newton's binomial theorem, or binomial series can be found in Calculus text books as a special case of Taylor series. It can also be understood as a formal power series which was first conceived by Euler if convergence does not matter much. Discovered before Taylor or Euler, Newton's binomial theorem must have a good explanation of its birth and validity. Newton learned the interpolation method from Wallis' famous book ${\ll}$Arithmetica Infinitorum${\gg}$ and employed it to get the theorem. The interpolation method, which Wallis devised to find the areas under a family of curves, was by nature arithmetrical but not geometrical. Newton himself used the method as a way of finding areas under curves. He noticed certain patterns hidden in the integer binomial sequence appeared in relation with curves and then applied them to rationals, finally obtained the generalized binomial sequence and the generalized binomial theorem.

In the fire protection system or fire fighting water supply system, the jockey pump is generally installed for the prevention of the pressure decrease of pipes, the frequent driving of the fire pump and protection the pipes from the water hammer. In this paper, the pressure-rise in fire fighting water distribution pipes in condition of pipe pressurization by the surge tank at the start-up and the sudden-stop of the fire pump without additional installation of jockey pump is considered by using simple formula calculations and the evaluation of water hammer occurrence in condition of pipe pressurization by the surge tank is included. As a result, the pressure-rise of pipes is less than the pipe design pressure at the condition of pump's start-up and sudden stop, and the possibility of water hammer occurrence is remarkably low due to pressurization of the pipes by the surge tank.

A numerical model for the transformation of irregular waves in a coastal area is developed, which takes account of shoaling, refraction, diffraction, bottom friction and wave breaking. The governing equations are the usual energy conservation equation and kinematic conservation equations, but to consider the diffraction effects additional terms are included in the usual kinematic conservation or wave number equations. A linear superposition technique is used to represent the spectral formation. and an explicit formula is developed for the estimation of friction factor of irregular waves. A breaking criterion of component waves, which is the modified form of the Kitaigorodskii saturation relation, is employed to restrict the growth of shoaling waves in very shallow waters. The model was applied to a laboratory test and satisfactory agreement was obtained between the computation and measurement.
