  • Lipid and protein contents in whole soybean seeds have negative correlation (r=-0.693**), however, these components in seed coat showed positive correlation (r=0.746**). Fatty acids in whole soybean seeds were higher in the order of $C_{18:2}>C_{18:1}>C_{16:0}>C_{18:3}>C_{18:0}$, while those of seed coat were higher in the order of $C_{18:3}>C_{18:2}>C_{18:0}>C_{16:0}>C_{18:1}$. The average content of total amino acid in twenty Korean soybean varieties was 38,938.7 mg/100 g, while that of seed coat was 4,418.4 mg/100g. Glutamic acid showed the highest composition rate $(16.4\%)$ in whole soybean seeds, while glycine was the highest in seed coat and their composition rate was $23.8\%$. The surface of shiny-lustre seed coats was smooth and their pore size was observed smaller than dull-lustre ones. Significant quadratic regression was observed among seed coat lightness, seed coat thickness, protein, lipid, unsaturated fatty acid and crude fiber. Fucose, rhamnose, glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose and xylose were detected as a neutral mono-saccharides in the seed coats. The arabinose and xylose showed significant correlation with seed coat lightness. The unsaturated fatty acid was significantly correlated with seed coat lightness (r=0.726**). Water absorption rate was low in the thick seed coat varieties, but the rate was high in the shiny seed coat varieties. From the obtained results, it was considered that the thinner and brighter seed coat varieties were much favorable to increase the water absorption rate than thicker and darker seed coat ones.

  • This case study is to embody the birth of a beautiful goddess out of seashells in a contemporary fashion design collection, on the basis of the mythology of The Birth of Venus. The main theme attempts to reinterpret the image of the goddess of love and beauty and express the organic vitality of seashells and oceanic feelings by swirls in motion. To accomplish this, three dimensional silhouette of layered forms of voluminous outer and fitted inner is applied to design ideas with spiral curves. The opposite texture of something sculptural and transparent versus smooth and shiny is used to express the layered structure of seashells with the delicacy of goddess. Neutral colours and different tones of pink appeal to oceanic feelings and feminine emotion in a modern way. Various techniques by the geometric simplicity of flat patterns and pleating with boning are also performed to express the vital movement of organism. Throughout the whole process of this case study, the conceptual idea of Swirls in Motion - a goddess and seashells is reinterpreted to a contemporary fashion by personal and creative design development process. In particular, it is evaluated by the process of primary researches, various design developments and experimentations to the main theme.

  • Rattan furniture is strips of cane around the frame that consists of wisteria, bamboo and wood. The materials are originally from Southeast Asia, and the material of domestic Rattan goods is Korean wisteria. Rattan, which is strong and elastic, is often used for craft materials, and it also retains the original feel of the material with great touch. It is beautiful and suitable for expressing curves. It is shiny, light in weight, easy for cleaning and ventilation. Rattan furniture is unique product made by human hands and nature and is an environment friendly well-being furniture. The use examples of these domestic rattan furnitures is condensed as below. First, the materials of rattan product is wisteria, rice straw, bush clover wood, reed and bamboo. Second, the use of rattan product which is made of domestic wisteria is limited to farming equipments and living wares. Third, the materials of rattan furniture differs in domestic made and foreign made product. As is the characteristics of timbers growing in warmer climates of Korea, it has many twist and strong and it is not straight in length so it is hard to manufacture into and use as furniture also it is hard to acquire right size for the material.

  • It has been known that ethyl acetate fraction and petroleum ether fraction prepared from ginseng are inhibitory to the L5178Y and sarcoma 180 cell at the concentrations o! 0.Imgfml or 0.2mg/ml. The shiny was carried out to examine effects of the two fractions on the activities of RNA polymerase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) present in normal rabbit liver. The ethyl acetate fraction did not show any inhibitory effect on the RNA polymerase and SDH activity at the concentrations of 0.Imgfml and 0.2mglml, but inhibited malate dehydrogenase activity by 12.3% and 15.5%, at the same concentrations, respectively. The fraction also inhibited all the three enzymes at higher concentrations tested, but stimulated the succinate dehydrogenase activity at 0.024mg/ml to increase the enzyme activity by 14.6%. The petroleum ether fraction activated the SDH activity by 12.9% and 20.8%, at the concentration of 0.1mg/ml and 0.2mg/ml respectively. But the fraction did not affect the MDH activity at the same concentration. The fraction, however, inhibited the MDH activity and activated the SDH activity by 13.5% and 18.2%, at the concentration of 0.8mg/ml respectively.

  • Mastocytosis is a rare disease which occurs in both children and adults, and it can manifest as a solitary or multiple skin lesions. Both can cause cutaneous or systemic symptoms. Because of the heterogeneity of clinical presentation of mastocytosis and its rare prevalence, it can be hard to suspect the mastocytosis at the first time. Most solitary mastocytomas are about 1-5 cm in diameter and have features of brownish-yellow, minimally elevated plaques with a smooth shiny surface. This article presents a case of solitary mastocytoma which occurred in neonate and that we treated through surgical excision. In histopathological examination, it consisted of c-kit-positive mast cells. Although pediatric cutaneous mastocytosis might regress spontaneously, clinicians should keep in mind that it could be associated with systemic mastocytosis which involves hematopoietic system.

  • This study targets adult females and shows the analysis of physical images affecting clothing behavior, satisfaction or dissatisfaction of ready-made clothes, favorite ready-made clothes design, and weight control as well as the result of demographic characteristic influencing clothing behavior. An individual satisfied with their body prefers bright colors and shiny clothes, on the other hand, an individual who is dissatisfied with their body do not like ready-made clothes and favor loose suits. This study shows that individuals not satisfied with their body are afraid of becoming fat and are following a weight control program. The analysis explains that women (who care for their appearance well) pursue aestheticism, superiority, and are more satisfied with ready-made clothes with casual, feminine, and fancy motifs. It also shows that women who have no confidence in their body follow feminine modesty; on the contrary, those who are confident of their body are satisfied with ready-made dresses and prefer a sexy image. As a result, those who do not care about their looks seek feminine modesty, functionality, and easy-management.

  • A causal fungus of turfgrass blight was isolated from the infected leaves of zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) and identified as Nigrospora sphaerica (Sacc.) Mason by using a light misroscope. Its conidia are large (14-20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter), shiny, black, aseptate, and smooth-walled spheres. The fungus caused typical blighting symptoms on the two turfgrass plants of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) and bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.). The fungus was found to produce a phytotoxic subtance to be associated with the pathogenic mechanism. A phytotoxin was isolated from the liquid cultures of N. sphaerica by repeated silica gel column chromatography and its structure was determined to be 5, 6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-propenyl-2H-pyr-2-one (T-3 compound). It was not a host-specific toxin showing phytotoxic effects to various plants inclusing turfgrasses in the leaf-wounding assay, the whole plant test, and the cellular leakage test. The compound caused leaf tip dieback symptoms in turfgrass plants similar to those caused by the pathogen. Thus, T-3 compound is thought to be involved in the development of Nigrospora blight.

  • Caffeine has a long history of human consumption but the consumption of caffeine due to caffeinated energy drinks(CEDs) is rapidly growing. Marketing targets of CED sales are children, adolescents and young adults, possibly caffeine-sensitive groups and its effect for them can be significantly different from healthy adults. Caffeine-related toxicities among these groups are growing in number and a number of countries are recognizing severity of caffeine toxicities. Previous research showed prediction of maximal plasma caffeine concentration profiles after the single CED ingestion and the primary aim of this study is to visually predict plasma caffeine concentration after the single and multiple ingestion of standard servings of CED. Based on the population pharmacokinetic model using Monte Carlo simulation, prediction of caffeine concentration leading to caffeine intoxication in the sensitive groups is quantitatively presented and visualized. This research also broadens the perspective by creating and utilizing diverse open science tools including R package, Edison Science App and Shiny apps.

  • Many studies in crystalline silicon solar cell fabrication have been focused on high efficiency and low cost. In this paper, we carried out the doping procedure by varying the silicon wafer thicknesses and sheet resistance. The silicon wafers with various thicknesses were obtained by shiny etching and texturing. The thicknesses of wafers were 100, 120, 150, and $180{\mu}m$. The emitter layer formed by $POCl_3$ doping process had sheet resistance with 40 and $80{\Omega}/sq$ for selective emitter application. This experiment indicated wafer thickness did not influence sheet resistance but lifetime was strongly effected.
