Consuming regular meals has been studied in relation to better health, while higher regularity of eating-out has been linked to obesity. This study examined whether acculturation was associated with regularity of meals, eating-out, and overweight in Korean Americans. Pre-tested questionnaires were mailed to a U.S. national sample with Korean American surnames, and 55% of the deliverable sample responded, producing 356 usable questionnaires. Acculturation was measured using a two-culture matrix model and Gordon's theoretical work, and showed there were three distinct groups (acculturated, bicultural, and traditional). Only 36% reported that they regularly ate three meals a day. Breakfast was the least frequent meal of the day with 43% reporting eating breakfast everyday. More than half (58%) reported that they usually eat out or get take-out food at least once a week. After controlling for age, sex, income, education, and working status, higher acculturation was related to greater regularity of eating-out, but not meal regularity. A total of 28% of men and 6% of women were overweight (BMI>25), and there were significant and positive relationships between body weight status and acculturation in men but not women. However, no significant relationships between frequency of meals and eating-out and overweight status were present. This study did not find significant relationships of meal regularity and eating-out with body weight, however, given the positive relationship between acculturation and eating-out among the subjects and the well-established relationship between eating-out and obesity, nutrition education about skipping meals and eating-for Korean Americans may be useful to prevent such relationships from developing.

단순한 외부 측정만으로써 수동 및 능동 회로망에서의 한개의 결함요소(Faulty Element)를 결정하기위해서 벡터를 이용한 한 방법을 연구했다. 큰 회로망은 몇개의 작은 회로망이 연결되었다고 생각할 수 있다. 여러 주파수에서의 전달 함수의 크기와 회로요소의 변화와의 사이에서 일어나는 관계를 이용함으로써 Fault Simulation Curve를 그릴 수 있다. 이곡선으로부터 결함식별영역(Fault Identification Region)을 정의한다. 정의된 결함식별영역에 따라 결함시별 매트릭스(Fault Irlentification Matrix)가 형성된다. 어떤 회로로부터 측정된 치를 성분으로하는 벡터를 결함식별 매트릭스에 곱해줌으로써 다른 한개의 벡터를 유도하는데 이유도된 벡터의 성분이 회로의 결함요소를 식별해주는 것이다. 결함식별방법을 위한 한 시험절차가 계시되고 실험에 의하여 입증되었다.

In order to elucidate the mechanisms affecting plant distributions in the reclaimed dredging area in the Gwangyang steelworks, in the Gwangyang Bay, Korea, we examined soil characteristics and plant distributions in four study sites and a control site in the study area. Desalination occurring along a gradient with increasing elevation, resulting in decrease of soil pH, EC, P, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, and salt and an increase in soil T-N, silt, clay contents. From site 1 (the lowest-elevation site) to site 5 (the highest-elevation site), halophytes decreased in abundance and nonhalophytes increased. The dominant species in each site were: Phragmites communis, Limonium tetragonum, and 12 additional species at site 1, Carex pumila, Suaeda japonica, and 15 additional species at site 2, Spergularia marina, Scirpus planiculmis, and 22 additional species at site 3, Miscantus sinensis, Lespedeza bicolor, and 26 additional species at site 4 and Pinus thunberii, Rhododendron mucronulatum, and 39 additional species at site 5, which resembled a naturally-occurring P. thinbergii community. Cluster analysis of the vegetation data matrix grouped the 35 plots into 5 major groups, and cluster analysis using the soil environment data matrix revealed 4 major groups. CCA of the floristic and environmental data matrix showed a positive relationship of SAR, EC, Na, Cl, and Ca, which are related to salt, in the $1^{st}$ axis and $2^{nd}$ axis, but negative relationships for altitude, organic contents, silt, and clay contents. Notably, plant species in the reclaimed dredging area that were separated along the $1^{st}$ axis showed strong relationships with factors that related to salt. Long-term exposure to natural rainfall in the reclaimed dredging area changed the soil characteristics, such as salinity. This change in soil characteristics might alter the SAR, which affects plant survival strategies in a given habitat. These results strongly indicated that factors related to salt and elevation play important roles in determining the overall plant distribution in the reclaimed dredging area.

The precipitation behavior in Mg-6 wt%Zn-1 wt%Y alloy annealed at different temperatures of $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ has been characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscope. When the alloy is annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr, the plate- and the rod-shaped ${\beta}_2'$ phases are precipitated in the matrix. The orientation relationship of plate-shaped precipitates with the matrix exhibits a [$11{\bar{2}}0]{\beta}_2$ || [$10{\bar{1}}0$]Mg, $(0001){\beta}_2'$ || (0001)Mg. While the rod-shaped precipitates have two kinds of the orientation relationships with the matrix, i.e. $[11{\bar{2}}0]{\beta}_2'$||[0001] Mg, $(0001){\beta}_2'||(11{\bar{2}}0)$ Mg and $[11{\bar{2}}0]{\beta}_2'$||[0001] Mg, $({\bar{1}}106){\beta}_2'||(10{\bar{1}}0)$ Mg. With increasing annealing time at $200^{\circ}C$ the ${\beta}_1'$ phases are also precipitated in the matrix and the orientation relationship exhibits a $[010]{\beta}_1'$ || [0001]Mg, $(603){\beta}_1'$ || ($01{\bar{1}}0$)Mg between the ${\beta}_1'$ precipitate and the matrix. The icosahedral phases are precipitated in the alloy annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ and exhibit a $[I2]_I$ || [0001]Mg relationship with the matrix.

In this paper, a mechanical probe for CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) with a three-axis force-sensing unit is proposed, which is capable of measuring an actual contact position without the lobbing effect and the pre-travel error. The force-sensing unit detects the external force, which is act on the stylus of CMM during the measuring process. Thus, the contact point of the stylus of CMM can be estimated ken the direction of measured force components. Based on the structural analysis of the proposed CMM probe, the transformation matrix is derived and calibrated so that it shows linear relationships between the estimated force components from the output voltages and the real input forces. And, the relationships are verified through the computer simulation. The results show that the proposed mechanical probe is very useful fur detecting the contacting force components on measuring process of CMM.

The spatially coupled buckling, in-plane, and lateral bucking analyses of thin-walled Timoshenko curved beam with non-symmetric, double-, and mono-symmetric cross-sections resting on elastic foundation are performed based on series solutions. The stiffness matrices are derived rigorously using the homogeneous form of the simultaneous ordinary differential equations. The present beam formulation includes the mechanical characteristics such as the non-symmetric cross-section, the thickness-curvature effect, the shear effects due to bending and restrained warping, the second-order terms of semitangential rotation, the Wagner effect, and the foundation effects. The equilibrium equations and force-deformation relationships are derived from the energy principle and expressions for displacement parameters are derived based on power series expansions of displacement components. Finally the element stiffness matrix is determined using force-deformation relationships. In order to verify the accuracy and validity of this study, the numerical solutions by the proposed method are presented and compared with the finite element solutions using the classical isoparametric curved beam elements and other researchers' analytical solutions.

Random amplified polymorphic DAN markers were characterized for three taxonomically problematic Penicillium species : P. aurantiogriseum var. Aurantiogriseum, P. verrucosum and P. puberulum, as well as for 25 species of mono, bi-, and terverticillate Penicillia. The relationships among mono, bi-, and terverticillate Penicillium species were determined from these RAPD markers. Eight species from mono-, eight from bi-, and nine from terverticilate Penicillia were examined. With 14 randomly chosen 10-mer primes, a 310 character by 25 species matrix was generated. Phenetic analysis separated the 25 species into three genetically distinct groups that correspond to the different arrangements of penicilli (mono-, bi-, and terverticillate). The results of this study suggest that P. aurantiogriseum var. aurantiogriseum, P. VERRUCOSUM, AND P. puberulum represent genetically distinct species, and that P. vulpinum should be included in terverticilate Penicillia. Phenogram branching patterns indicated that biverticillate species are genetically more similar to monoverticilate species than they are to terverticillate species.

Let G be a Lie group, let L(G) be its Lie algebra, and let exp : $L(G){\rightarrow}G$ denote the exponential mapping. For $S{\subseteq}G$, we define the tangent set of S by $L(S)\;=\;\{X\;{\in}\;L(G)\;:\;exp(tX)\;\in\;S\;for\;all\;t\;{\geq}\;0\}$. We say that a semigroup S is strictly infinitesimally generated if S is the same as the semigroup generated by exp(L(S)). We find a tangent set of the semigroup of all non-singular totally positive matrices and show that the semigroup is strictly infinitesimally generated by the tangent set of the semigroup. This generalizes the familiar relationships between connected Lie subgroups of G and their Lie algebras

Stern bearing is a key component of marine propulsion plant. Its environment is diverse, working condition changeable, and condition severe, so that stern bearing load is of strong time variability, which directly affects the safety and reliability of the system and the normal navigation of ships. In this paper, three affecting factors of the stern bearing load such as hull deformation, propeller hydrodynamic vertical force and bearing wear are calculated and characterized by random theory. The uncertainty mathematical model of stern bearing load is established to research the relationships between factors and uncertainty load of stern bearing. The validity of calculation mathematical model and results is verified by examples and experiment yet. Therefore, the research on the uncertainty load of stern bearing has important theoretical significance and engineering practical value.
