This study aims to identity the age group where driving performance significantly decreases based on the data collected from the Korea Transportation Safety Authority's driver aptitude tests in 2006. The test includes following six driving simulator-based tests: estimation of moving objects' speed, estimation of stopping distance, three tests for drivers' multi-task ability, and kinetic depth perception. These six test results were utilized for the identification of the age threshold applying the CART technique, suggesting driving ability significantly be decreased over 50s. This finding was confirmed by two analyses using the accident history data containing the information of accident and non-accident drivers and the degree of accident severity. The results of this study imply that accident prevention efforts should be enhanced over a wider range of age group than the current practice where the age of 65 is generally applied for the threshold dividing senior and non-senior driver groups.

Body weights of 862 Angora goats between birth and 36 months of age, recorded on a semiyearly basis from 1988 to 2000, were used to estimate genetic, permanent environmental and phenotypic covariance functions. These functions were estimated by fitting a random regression model with 6th order polynomial for direct additive genetic and animal permanent environmental effects and 4th and 5th order polynomial for maternal genetic and permanent environmental effects, respectively. A phenotypic covariance function was estimated by modelling overall animal and maternal effects. The results showed that the most variable coefficient was the intercept for both direct and maternal additive genetic effects. The direct additive genetic (co)variances increased with age and reached a maximum at about 30 months, whereas the maternal additive genetic (co)variances increased rapidly from birth and reached a maximum at weaning, and then decreased with age. Animal permanent environmental (co)variances increased with age from birth to 30 months with lower rate before 12 months and higher rate between 12 and 30 months. Maternal permanent environmental (co)variances changed little before 6 months but then increased slowly and reached a maximum at about 30 months. These results suggested that the contribution of maternal additive genetic and permanent environmental effects to growth variation differed from those of direct additive genetic and animal permanent environmental effects not only in expression time, but also in action magnitude. The phenotypic (co)variance estimates increased with age from birth to 36 months of age.

SELENE, a Japanese lunar mission, has been launched this year. There are large volumes of images that were already archived and will be archived by missions such as SELENE. Automatic image analysis systems, which extract useful information from large amounts of data, are now required. The authors propose Lunar Surface GIS, which archives lunar surface information collected by lunar orbiting spacecraft and conducts geological analysis automatically. This system includes automatic crater detection, automatic age determination, and lava thickness estimation methods. In this paper, methods for automatically determining the age and estimating the lava thickness of lunar mare are described. The lunar surface age was determined by analyzing data of detected crater size and number using a crater chronology method. Lava thickness was estimated by the extent of the overlying material around the crater as well as the composition of underlying terrain units. In this result, the age map at Mare Crisium suggests the mare had been formed 3.0-3.7 b.y. ago. The lava thickness result suggests the thickest part of the mare is distributed around the center of the mare. The Lunar Surface GIS can produce a geological map, age map, and mare lava thickness map, for example.

연령추정은 법의 치의학적 개인식별에서 가장 기본이 되고 중요한 분야로, 지금까지 수많은 선학들이 신체의 여러 부위를 이용하여 연령을 추정하는 방법에 대해 연구해 왔다. 치아를 이용한 연령추정은 신체의 다른 부위와 비교하여 가장 유의한 방법으로 이중 Gustafson과 Johanson은 사후 치아를 이용하여 연령을 추정하였는데 그 정확성과 체계성을 인정받아 국외는 물론 국내에서도 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이들 두 가지 방법에 대한 정확성의 검증은 외국에서는 많은 연구가 있었지만 아직 국내에서는 그에 대한 연구가 희소한 형편이다. 이에 본 연구는 치주질환에 이환되었거나 교정 치료를 위해 발거된 59개의 전치부, 소구치부, 구치부 치아를 이용하여 1) Gustafson 방법과 Johanson 고유 방법대로 우리나라 사람의 치아에 적용하였을 때 각 방법에 따른 추정연령과 실제 연령과의 차이를 비교하고, 2) 실제연령과 Gustafson 방법 및 Johanson 방법에 의한 추정연령 간 차이를 연령대별, 성별, 악궁별, 그리고 치아부위별로 상관관계를 분석하기 위하여 시행하였다. 치아를 레진 포매하여 절편으로 만들어 Gustafson 방법과 Johanson 방법을 이용하여 각각 치아를 감정하고 연령을 추정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Johanson 고유 방법에 의한 추정연령은 실제연령과 유의한 차이를 보였으나, Gustafson 방법과 Johanson 응용 방법은 실제연령과 유의한 상관관계를 보였고 이중 Johonson 응용 방법이 더 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 2. 실제연령과 Gustafson 방법, Johanson 고유 방법, Johanson 응용 방법에 의한 추정연령은 성별 및 치아 부위에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 실제연령과 Gustafson 방법, Johanson 고유 방법, Johanson 응용 방법에 의한 추정연령은 연령대별로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 향후 Gustafson 방법과 Johanson 고유 방법이 국내에서 이용될 수 있으나 보다 정확한 검증을 위하여 보다 많은 치아를 이용한 연구와 Johanson 연령추정 방법에서 기존 Johanson이 제시한 방정식을 그대로 적용하기보다는 폭넓은 연구에 따른 새로운 방정식 적용이 필요하다고 사료된다.

The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between tooth wear and age by quantitatively measuring maxillary first molar wear in children. A total of 150 maxillary dental models were analyzed in 30 subjects (male, 11; female, 19) with an age range of 6-14 years. Maxillary first molar wear were assessed based on area, volume and the shortest distance from the buccal occlusal plane to the central pit point (BCPH). The area and volume of the tooth cusps were measured at four different offset-plane heights (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm). Relationship between age and the amount of wear or BCPH were statistically analyzed. Correlation and regression analyses were also performed, and age estimation was obtained with linear regression analysis. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences between age and the amount of wear based on area, volume, and offset-plane height. Except age of 8 and 10, 12 and 14's 0.2-mm offset-plane-measured volume, all area and volume measurement of all ages and offset-plane height showed a significant amount of increase. Wear speeds were calculated using the BCPH. Among age and measurement variables, the correlation coefficient was strongest when the volume was measured from the 0.4-mm offset-plane. As age increases, the amount of wear, as quantified by area and volume measurements, also increases. According to this study, a regression equation that can be used for age estimation is follows: Age $(y)=0.16{\times}0.4V+0.85$ ($R^2=0.490$) using volume.

The paper considers nonparametric empirical Bayes estimation of residual survival function at age t using a Dirichlet process prior V(a). Empirical Bayes estimators are proposed for the case where both the function ${\alpha}$(0, $\chi$] and the size a(R$\^$+/) are unknown. It is shown that the proposed empirical Bayes estimators are asymptotically optimal at a rate n$\^$-1/, where n is the number of past data available for the present estimation problem. Therefore, the result of Lahiri and Park (1988) in which a(R$\^$+/) is assumed to be known and a rate n$\^$-1/ is achieved, is extended to a(R$\^$+/) unknown case.

The breeding data relating to Hariana herd spread over 18 years (1979-96) were analysed to estimate genetic, phenotypic and environmental changes in characters of economic importance which might have taken place during the several years of selective breeding practiced in the herd. The average genetic changes in a given character were estimated by four methods. The phenotypic trends observed for different economic traits were not significant. On changing the method of estimation, magnitude and direction of genetic trends changed. Comparison of estimates of genetic trends by different methods showed that adjustments for biases due to non-random allotment of dams with respect to their age and merit suggested by Powell and Freeman (1974) were useful for increasing the precision of the estimates. Hence, this method was found to be the best method for estimation of genetic trends. The estimate of genetic trends by this method were 4.03${\pm}$6.21 days, 3.24${\pm}$5.33 kg, 0.15${\pm}$0.43 days, 0.09${\pm}$0.59 days, 0.01${\pm}$0.02 kg and 0.01${\pm}$0.01 kg for age at first calving, first lactation milk yield, first lactation length, first calving interval, first lactation milk yield per day lactation length and first lactation milk yield per day of calving interval, respectively.

Serial ultrasonographic examination was daily performed on 12 pregnant Shih-tzu bitches from day 15 until parturition to determine the size of gestational structures. Gestational age was timed from the day of ovulation (day 0), which was estimated to occur when plasma progesterone concentration was first increased above 4.0 ng/ml. Extra-fetal structures were measurable from days 17 to 46. Outer uterine diameter increased from $9.9{\pm}0.4$ mm (Mean${\pm}$SD) at day 20 to $44.3{\pm}0.8$ mm at day 46 and inner chorionic cavity diameter increased from $7.2{\pm}0.2$ mm at day 17 to $36.9{\pm}1.5$mm at day 41. Length of chorionic cavity or zonary placenta increased from $6.6{\pm}0.4$ mm at day 21 to $46.4{\pm}0.9$ mm at day 44. Of the extra-fetal structures, inner chorionic cavity diameter was the most accurate for estimation of gestational age until day 38. Fetal structures were measurable from days 23 to 60. Crown-rump length increased from $3.9{\pm}0.3$ mm at day 23 to $55.2{\pm}3.3$ mm at day 41, fetal body diameter increased from $7.9{\pm}0.6$ mm at day 32 to $47.8{\pm}2$ mm at day 60, and fetal head diameter increased from $6.3{\pm}1.1$ mm at day 29 to $25.6{\pm}0.2$ mm at day 60. Of the fetal structures, fetal head diameter was the most accurate for estimation of gestational age from day 38 until day 60.
