Human uses sight, tactile sense to evaluate Total Hand Value(FUUAI) of textile fabrics. Tactile sense is important factor which decided the Total Hand Value of a textile fabric. When human feels the FUUAI, physical and physiological phenomena are occurred in finger. We first found out physical variable that is happened in fingertip when human is feeling the FUUAI. Such physical variable means characteristic of action tactual motion of finger such as moving range, tactile time, moved distance, speed of finger and applied force by finger. We study the relationship between action tactual motion and the ability in which the human distinguishes the textile fabric. As a result, we could know the characteristics of the tactual motion of fingertip to get high distinguishable ability. The characteristics were different in men and women respectively. In the case of man, touched time and moving range influenced to distinguish, and moving range, and the moving speed of finger influenced, in woman's case.

This study aims to suggest desirable directions through analyzing English test items of college entrance examinations(CEE) in Korea, China, and Japan. To achieve this, English test items of Scholastic Ability Test(SAT) in Korea were compared with those of CEE in China and Japan, and test items of TOEFL and IELTS. It was found that there were not many items for testing productive skills relatively to the tests of other countries including TOEFL and IELTS. Especially, there were integrated items for writing test in China. In case of speaking test, all the other country adopted direct ways like interview and oral test, not indirect test as in the SAT in Korea. It is suggested that there need to be included test items comprising long passages in order to measure extensive reading ability. It can be suggested that doze test be adopted for testing integrated proficiency of English.

In order to aware the situation and factors of women students' dropout from engineering college, the factor analysis for women students in P university was performed. The results showed responses that social cultural effects is more significant ones than social effect alone, and the effects of negative gender cognition in industrial circle and college to the women employees and coeds are more significant than effects of regional or positional ones. Also showed responses that the physical difference from man students, the ability for handling machine and tools, her parents' moral support, the gender cognitive engineering education and the boosting for job recruiting are more significants effects than the scholastic ability or the ageism. This may lay the foundation to make a curriculum for women included engineering education that emphasize the gender cognitive approach and the circumstances.

In this paper, authors realize water AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) network using low power ZigBee protocol included routing ability for improving wireless communitation error detection and network range. ZigBee wireless standard is an important standard of the field related Ubiquitous industry and recently has application to Home-Network. It's special features are to spend low power and to include routing ability each terminator. Because of these features, authors realize water AMR system on Embedded system using ZigBee protocol for applying to transfer data between a water meter and RF module equipped with a water meter in each house.

We statistically analyzed the relationship between the constitution and the refineness and tactile of skin depending on sex and age, using 1079 clinical data registered to SCIB(Sasang constitution Information Bank), and the following results are obtained: The thickness of skin has big discrimination ability in classification of Taeeumin and Soyangin, especially in women and in ages 21 or more. The stiffness of skin also has big discrimination ability in classification of Taeeumin and Soeumin, especially in Taeumin women and Soeumin man and in ages 21-60. The differences stated above have been proved to be meaningful enough by Chi-square test.

Fashion designs reflect the trend of the times embedded within the cultural structures of eastern and western civilizations as well as the traditional styles. However, the motives in fashion designs fundamentally come from human beings' willingness for creation through deep understand of nature or using symbolism and artificial esthetic appreciation. Mankind has expressed their willingness for creation through speculation not with the attitude of conquering nature but by acknowledging the flow between their lives and nature. The purpose of this paper is to investigate human beings' transcendental and embracing attitude toward the natural environment and the human environment in fashion design. In natural environment factors, sublimity toward nature's marvelous powers and the transcending state of mind within happiness and delight or the extreme fear or unavoidable coerciveness and the consequential daunting feelings and smallness, and sorrow all stimulate the will of mental speculation and cause a transcending sublimity. A sublime state of mind does not exist in a superficial framework of enjoyment. It is rather an act of transcendence and embracement residing in a sublime object and leading man's spirit into a state of philosophical thought. Also, in man-made Environment factors, we found from magnanimity we were ability to see the true nature of an era's culture.

Objective: This study is designed to examine how an application of a kinesio taping to the foot drop of a hemiplegic patient affects the functional recovery of a gait. Method: The patient was a man with left hemiplegia of about 11 months' duration. a single subject design (ABAB design) was used to investigate the timing difference at a stance phase between an unaffected side and an affected side in the gait ability of the hemiplegic patient by using the kinesio taping. The study was divided into four phase: an initial base-line, an experimental, a second base-line, and second experimental phase. Result: The timing difference at a stance phase between an unaffected side and an affected side in the gait was decreased in the case of the affected side by following the result of applying the kinesio taping to a lower extremity. Conclusion: The kinesio taping applied to the foot drop of a hemiplegic patient affects the improvement of the gait ability.

This study has been carried out to investigate the cooling ability improvement of diecasting mold by decompression cooling system. The decompression cooling system was applied to the new/used oil pump cover molds. The temperature of the surface mold applied the decompression cooling system fell to 15 degrees, especially in case of the used mold. The defect ratio of the oil pump cover manufactured by decompression cooling system has decreased from 2.8 percent to 0.2 percent. According to the results of the cooling ability improvement of diecasting mold by decompression cooling system, the decompression degree and supply pressure were set up the control item to apply the decompression cooling system to the diecasting mold in the industry field.

The ability to maintain an upright position during quiet standing is a useful motor skill. The Sensory Organization Test (SOT) is a timed balance test that evaluates somatosensory, visual, and vestibular function for maintenance of upright posture. The Fugl-Meyer Sensorimotor Assessment (FMSA) balance subscale is the functional status assessment that indicates amount of assistance needed during various balance tasks. Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is the functional status assessment tool and FIM can be used clinically as an outcome measure. The purpose of this study was to see if the SOT can be used as a evaluation tool to measure hemiplegic patients' balance ability. Thirty-six patients with hemiplegia participated in this study. SOT scores were significantly correlated with FMSA balance scores and FIM scores(p<0.05). However correlation coefficients were not so high (r=0.60, and r=0.51, respectively). Therefore, further study is needed to verify the SOT's usefulness when physical therapists are evaluating for hemiplegic patients' balance ability.
