The purpose of this study was to develop a simple, valid, and reliable instrument for measuring forward flexion of trunk-hip joint. The subject included 44 females for sports major of volunteers at D. Women's University. In establishing the validity, objectivity the reliability of the new flexibility test(NF-test) for trunk-hip joint, Takei- flexometer(modified Leighton flexometer) was administered as the reference instrument, and test-retest method was utilized with the best scores. Intraclass correlation coefficient was obtained to use two way-mixed effect model and this value was average measure. The Pearson product correlation coefficient of L in this study were; the new flexibility test and Takei-flexometer as the reference tool correlated r = .962 in the first test, r = .960 in the second test. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the new flexibility test between in the initial test and in the retest were R = .994 for L, R =.993 for Y, and the intraclass correlation coefficient of the new flexibility test between L and Y were R =.985 in the initial test, and R =.986 in the retest. Based on the above findings, the following conclusions are presented. It was found the new flexibility test (NF test) was a valid, reliable, objective tool for measuring forward flexion of trunk-hip joint, and possible to be recommended as he test for measuring trunk-hip flexibility in the field.

In the proto design stage of a new car, the performances of an occupant protection system can be evaluated by CAE even though the real test should be carried out. The number of the real test is reduced by the exact predictions followed by the appropriate design recommendation. However, the existing researches using CAE in predicting the performances do not consider the uncertainties of parameters. That often leads to inconsistency between test and CAE. In this research, the robust design of a protection system such as airbag and load limiter is suggested considering the frontal crash. The parameter design scheme of the Taguchi method is introduced to obtain the robust design of arbitrary airbag and load limiter. It is performed based on the frontal crash test condition of US-NCAP with an arbitrary passenger car. The variances of the performances such as HIC, chest acceleration and probability of combined injury are calculated by the outer array and the Taylor series expansion. Through the analysis of the Taguchi method, the robust optimum is determined.

The conformance testing of communication protocol is the process to evaluate whether the protocol implemented is identified with standard specification. By evaluating how generated test cases detect many faults, it can be used with standard estimating efficiency of conformance testing. The method that evaluates the capability of fault coverage for test cases, has been researched by mathematical analysis and simulation. In this paper, we pointed out the problem of existing method and proposed new evaluation model of fault covergage for test case which generated by foult model. Also, we analyzed the results comparing to the existing evaluation method and proved its validity.

Data quality and climate forecasting performance deteriorates because of long climate data contaminated by non-climatic factors such as the station relocation or new instrument replacement. For a trusted climate forecast, it is necessary to implement data quality control and test inhomogeneous data. Before the inhomogeneity test, a reference series was created by $d$ index to measure the temperature series relationship between the candidate and surrounding stations. In this study, a inhomogeneity test to each season and climatological station was performed on the daily mean temperatures, daily minimum temperatures and daily maximum temperatures. After comparing two inhomogeneity tests, the traditional and the adjusted SNHT method, we found the adjusted SNHT method was slightly superior to the traditional one.

TMN(Telecommunication Management Network) provides underlying structure to transfer, store and processing management information which are necessary for Telecommunication network and service management. The application of TMN is widely applicable to Analogue telecommunication network Public and private network switching system, Transmission system, Telecommunication related software and logical telecommunication network resource management and others. This paper consider TMN as one System Under Test(SW), and propose a new TMN test architecture, besides existing simulation based test method, which is able to test, on the basis of standardized testing procedure and testing method, directly with test system. There are several fields in protocol testing and one of them is protocol conformance testing which is defined in ISO/IEC 9646 series and it has twin document as ITU X.290 series. To apply this standardized procedure on TMN testing it is prerequisite to devise a new TMN testing architecture and set up testing procedures according to the new architecture.

The purpose of this study was to develop the jacket pattern drafting method for Korean middle-aged women. The study was composed as follows : 1. Body measurement and statistical analysis : Two hundreds and forty four middle-aged women between the ages of forty five and fifty nine were measured on 52 items. 2. Development of new jacket pattern drafting method : Measurement items necessary to draft new jacket pattern were back waist length, bust girth, waist girth, hip girth, back interscye breadth, front interscye breadth, neck base girth, nipple length, nipple to nipple breadth, 1/2 posterior shoulder length and sleeve length. Basic jackets constructed from the experimental patterns were examined through the fitting test. 3. Evaluation of the new pattern drafting method : The sensory evaluations for appearance and comfort were applied to evaluate the new jacket pattern by comparing it with one of the conventional jacket patterns (Lee Hyung-Suk's). According to the result of sensory evaluation, the new jacket pattern was more positive.

The healthy worker effect is an important issue in occupational epidemiology. We proposed a new statistical method to test the relationship between exposure and time to death in the presence of the healthy worker effect. In this study, we considered the healthy worker hire effect to operate as a confounder and the healthy worker survival effect to operate as a confounder and an intermediate variable. The basic idea of the proposed method reflects the length bias-sampling caused by changing one's employment status. Simulation studies were also carried out to compare the proposed method with the Cox proportional hazards models. According to our simulation studies, both the proposed test and the test based on the Cox model having the change of the employment status as a time-dependent covariate seem to be satisfactory at an upper 5% significance level. The Cox models, however, are inadequate with the change, if any, of the employment status as time-independent covariate. The proposed test is superior in power to the test based on the Cox model including the time-dependent employment status.

As the result of enhancement of CAD, Design Automation and manufacturing technology, it's on the increasing complexity, integration ratio, data signals, and pin count to IC chips. This brings about difficulties of testing, and incresing test time. Now One of the most cost-consuming procedure as integration ratio increases is the testing step. In this paper, we propose a new method, “Efficient TP(test point) assignment algorithm” using “input grouping”, This is helpful method to reducing test length without losing fault coverage. Experimental results show that proposed method reduces test length remarkably and doesn't miss fault coverage, with low hardware overhead Increasing.

A new classes of life distribution, namely harmonic used better than aged in expectation in upper tail (HUBAEUT) is introduced. Testing exponentiality against this class is investigated using kernel method. The limiting null and nonnull distribution of the test statistics is normal and the null variance is calculated exactly. Selected critical values are tabulated for sample sizes of 5(1)40. Power of the test are estimated by simulation. the efficacies of the test statistics used for testing against HUBAEUT are calculated for som common alternatives and are compared to some other procedures. It is shown that proposed test is simple, has high relative efficiency and power for some commonly used alternatives. The set of real data are used as an examples to elucidate the use of the proposed test statistics for practical reliability.
