This study was based on social comparison theory, and the covariance structure model was designed, connecting sociocultural attitude, multifaceted body image, and clothing behaviour under sociocultural influence. The practical purpose of this study is to identify the effect of sociocultural attitude toward physical appearance on the affective aspect of body images, the cognitive/behavioral aspect of body images and clothing benefits sought, and to examine the age difference in the female adolescents. The results of this were as follows: 1) Sociocultural attitude toward physical appearance had a negative effect directly on the affective aspect of body images, and showed the highest value in the group of high school girls 2) Sociocultural attitude toward physical appearance had a positive influence directly on the cognitive/behavioral aspect of body images, and high school girls'model showed the highest values significantly as well 3) High school girls'model showed the highest value significantly in the effect of the affective aspect of body images on the cognitive/behavioral aspect of body images. However, college group's model didn's show significant value 4) Middle school girls'model showed higher value positively than the other groups in the effect of the cognitive/behavioral aspect of body images on clothing benefits sought, and the high school girls' model showed higher value negatively in the effect of the affective aspect of body images on clothing benefits sought.

This study compared and analyzed the interaction visual effect of skirt silhouettes and skirt length by body mass index. This study provides basic data for women in their 20s and 30s to choose suitable skirts for their image. Twelve skirts were made, consisting of two categories of body mass index, three types of skirt silhouette and two levels of skirt length. Men and women in their 20s and 30s evaluated the visual effects of the experimental skirts using a questionnaire. The interaction effect of the visual effect following the skirt's length and silhouette by body mass index were analyzed by three-way ANOVA. Overall, a shorter the body and lower body length resulted in better vertical effects in normal weight. In terms of horizontal effects, such as lower body thickness and full-body shape, the 40 cm skirt, 50 cm tight, and A-line skirt were generally shown as better images. Skirt length helped supplement body type rather than silhouette in the overweight section. When the length was 40 cm, three skirts showed a more positive image. This study provide results for women in their 20s and 30s to choose skirts that are suitable for their image.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the differences in appearance interest (clothing interest and body adornment) and self-confidence according to demographic variables such as age, education, and allowance, to examine the causal relationships of clothing interest and body adornment on self-confidence of elderly women. Subjects for this study were samples of 215 elderly women (ages 60 to 70) in Seoul, Korea. The instrument was a questionnaire and the survey was done in face-to-face method. 1. There was a significant difference in body adornment according to age. After age was controlled, there were significant differences in appearance interest and self-confidence according to education. There were significant differences in appearance interest and self- confidence according to allowance. 2. Education and allowance had a direct effect on clothing interest. Allowance, age, and education had a direct effect on body adornment. Education had a direct effect on allowance. 3. Clothing interest and allowance had a direct effect, and education had an indirect effect on self-confidence. Body adornment and allowance had a direct effect on self-confidence, education and age had an indirect effect on self-confidence. The present findings provide that appearance interest such as, clothing interest and body adornment had a significant effect on self-confidence of elderly women. It appeared that the connection between body adornment and allowance was stronger than the connection between clothing interest and allowance. The causal relationship of clothing interest on self- confidence was stronger than the causal relationship of body adornment on self-confidence. The clothing interest was a variable that most affected on self-confidence of elderly women.

A novel body-tied silicon-on-insulator(SOI) n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with grounded body electrode named GBSOI nMOSFET has been developed by wafer bonding and etch-back technology. It has no floating body effect such as kink phenomena on the drain current curves, single-transistor latch and drain current overshoot inherent in a normal SOI device with floating body. We have characterized the interface trap density, kink phenomena on the drain current ($I_{DS}-V_{DS}$) curves, substrate resistance effect on the $I_{DS}-V_{DS}$ curves, subthreshold current characteristics and single transistor latch of these transistors. We have confirmed that the GBSOI structure is suitable for high-speed and low-voltage VLSI circuits.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of body type(thin, standard, fat), necktie width(narrow, medium, wide), gender(man, woman) on image formation. Sets of stimulus and response scales(7 point semantic) were used as experimental materials. The stimuli were 9 color pictures manipulated with the combination of necktie-width and body type using computer simulation. The subjects were 116 male undergraduates and 99 female undergraduates living in Gyeongsangnam-do. Image factor of the stimulus was composed of 4 different components, young-activity, attractiveness-gracefulness, stability, and boldness. In the young-activity, attractiveness-gracefulness and stability, body type and necktie-width showed independent effect. In the boldness, body type showed independent effect. Significant interaction effects of body type and necktie-width on young-activity, attractiveness-gracefulness and stability were found. For young-activity image, necktie of narrow width were effective. For attractiveness-gracefulness image, body type of standard were effective. For stability image, body type of standard and body type of thin on necktie of narrow and medium width were effective. The male fashion image can be perceived differently according to combination of the clues used in body type and necktie-width. Therefore, when the male fashion to create images that will have to consider the body type and necktie width.

The effect based upon changes of body weight and effect of X-ray irradiation on tryptophan pyrrolase (TPO) activity in liver homogenate of albino rats was studied. 1. The average TPO activity of control group of 33 rats weighing $95{\sim}172g$\;was\;2.372{\pm}0.165{\mu}$ moles kynurenine/g protein/hr. 2. Correlation between body weight of 33 rats and its TPO activity was not showed practically(r=0.011). 3. TPO activity of whole-body X-ray irradiated rats (700r) was increased about double at 3hours and increased for a period of 4 days after irradiation, but after 6 days it was decreased gradually. This result is that whole-body X-ray irradiation showed dual effect on TPO activity in rat liver.
