  • Nutrient intake data collected by both dietary methods of the 24 hour recall method and the food frequency method from 538 middle school students were analysed to investigate any measurement errors occuring while using these methods. Measurement errors were observed both in terms of differences of average intake and consistancy from the two sources of data used. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used to test the differences between the two average intakes and Speraman's rank order correlation coefficient was used to test consistancy. As a result, average intake value estimated from the food frequency method tended to be higher than that from the 24 hour recall method. The degree of overestimation varies from one nutrient to another. For instance, carotene showed not only the most significant differences in average intake but also showed the most incoisistancies between the two sets of data. This may imply the validity of nutrient intake as derived from different dietary survey methods varied from one nutrient to another, therefore the selection of dietary survey methods has to be made more cautiously in the case of certainnutrients.

  • The Purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and the validation of four scales of Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Classification (QSCC), newly constructed through statistical item analysis and to examine their diagnostic discrimination power. QSCC was administered to 105 inpatient at Kyung-Hee Oriental Medicine Hospital and local oriental clinics and 136 undergraduated students. 2 weeks later, QSCC was readministered to 220 same subjects. Data were collected during about 2 months from february to Apr. 20, 1992. For the purposes of this study, the collected data were analyzed by internal consistancy, test-retest reliability, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and discrimination analysis of spss pc+ v3.0 program. The results were as follows: 1. The reliability of four scales of QSCC was relatively favorable. The internal consistancy and test-retest reliability of Tae-Yaung-In(太陽人) scale were respectively Cronbach's ${\alpha}=0.9$ and r=0.89. Those of So-Yaung-In(少陽人) scale were respectively ${\alpha}=0.81$ and r=0.93. Those of Tae-Em-In(太陰人) scale were respectively ${\alpha}=0.72$ and r=0.74. Those of So-Em-In(少陰人) scale were respectively ${\alpha}=0.81$ and r=0.93. 2. The diagnostic discrimination abilities(Hit-ratio=56%)of QSCC were found to have more about 20% improvement than propotional chance criteria(37%). Especially, Hit-ratios for So-Yaung-In(63%) and Tae-Em-In(60%) were more high than that for So-Em-In(48%) 3. For male subjects, the construct validity of QSCC was founded to be relatively favorable. But that of QSCC for females was poor.

  • To study stability of distilled herbal medicine, we chose changes in UV spectrum, pH, conductivity, and HPLC chromatogram. Aconiti Lateralis preparata Radix and Scutellariae Radix were selected and studied. There ws no consistancy in UV spectrums of preparatons and in duration. The changes in pH and conductivity were not correlated to those in UV spectrums. HPLC chromatograms were also compared each other depending on the preparations. One interesting peak of distilled Aconiti solution was appeared at 40 min retention time which was not identified yet. Ingeneral, UV spectrum, pH, conductivity measurements are pretty poor tool to study stability of herbal medicine although HPLC analysis should be studied further.

  • The purpose of the study was to determine the convergent validity, discriminant validity and internal consistancy reliability of the social support and family support measuring tool. Two procedures were used : 1) Campbell and Fiske's multitrait-multimethod approach and item total correlation with Chronbach's $\alpha$. The result suggest that SNM, NSSQ, SNM/family, NSSQ/famliy is a valid and a reliable instrument for measuring social support. But PRQ part2 is low in convergent validity. The results further suggest that we have to more attention to a valid and reliable likert type scale for social support.

  • This paper studies the handling of significant digits and rounding off methods in domestic industries. ANOVA tables made by six well-known big companies are selected and analyzed. There exist various mistakes in handling of significant digits and rounding off methods such as: * too many significant digits in the Sum of Squares values in comparison to the original data * too many significant digits in the variance ratio in comparison to the F table values. * no consistancy in the number of significant digits * no consideration for the number of significant digits in computations * ignoring the KS A 0021 in rounding off methods etc. Such mistakes are caused from the characteristics of the personal computers rather than the misunderstandings about the significant digits conception. A subroutine is developed for PC in BASIC language to help the handling of significant digits and rounding off.

  • Weld bead shape is an important measure for evaluation of weld quality. Many welding parameters have influence on the weld bead shape. The quantitative relationship between welding parameters and bead shape, however, is not determined yet because of their high complexity and many unknown factors. Fuzzy expert system is an advanced expert system which uses fuzzy rules and approximate reasoning. It is a vert useful tool for welding technology because is can process rationally the uncertain and inexact information such as the welding information. In this paper, the empirical and the qualitative relationship between welding parameters and bead shape are analyzed and represented by fuzzy rules. They are converted to the quantitative relationship by use of approximate reasoning of fuzzy expert system. Weld bead shape is estimated from the welding parameters using fuzzy expert system. The result of comparison between measured values of weld bead by welding experiments and the estimates values by fuzzy expert system shows a good consistancy.

  • In order to explane the stereotactic procedure, the three steps of the procedure (target localization, dose planning, and radiation treatment) must be examined separately. The ultimate accuracy of the full procedure is dependent on each of these steps and on the consistancy of the approach The concern in this article was about dose planning, which is a important factor to the success of radiation treatment. The major factor in dose planning is a dosimetry system to evaluate the dose delivered to the target and normal tissues in the patient, while it generates an optimal dose distribution that will satisfy a set of clinical criteria for the patient. A three-dimensional treatment planning program is a prerequisite for treatment plan optimization. It must cover 3-D methods for representing the patient, the dose distributions, and beam settings. The major problems and possible modelings about 3-D factors and optimization technique were discussed to simplify and solve the problems associatied with 3-D optimization, with relative ease and efficiency. These modification can simplify the optimization problem while saving time, and can be used to develop reference dose planning system to prepare standard guideline for the selection of optimum beam parameters, such as the target position, collimator size, arc spacing, the variation in arc length and weight. The method yields good results which can then be simulated and tailored to the individual case. The procedure needed for dose planning in stereotactic radiosurgery is shown in figure 1.

  • The aims of this study are to classify the life styles of urban housewives, to see their relationship between life style and demorgaphic variables, and also to see the relationship between life style and dietary patterns. This study has been performed by a questionsire about life style, demographic variables and dietary pattern. The selected samples were 475 housewives. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, cluster analysis, Duncan test, X-test and F-test. Life style is classified into 4 types: temporary enjoying type, passive irrational type, realistic conservative type, actual progressive type. The housewives who are in temporary enjoying type usually do randomly and don't think seriously something. And they have tendency to enjoy themselves. Therefore they don't have any plan for dietary behavior. The passive irrational type's housewives have no consistancy in their life and they do everything temporarily. The housewives who are in this type have relatively low incom, low level of education and they are high in age. The people who are in realistic conservative type act reasonably and elastically everything. They use convenient food very much, because they are willing to save time to make them. The housewives who are included in actual progressive type are well organized and planned in dietary behavior than others, when they dine out, they eat with family together in general, they usually use only a kind of western sauces and convenient food. They are relatively young, highly educated, and they are high income group. In conclusion realistic conservative type and actual progressive type are both relatively desirable type in dietary behavior, but in temporary enjoying type and passive irrational type, there, have to do some guide and education about managing family resources and dietary behavior.
