It was shown by L. Polterovich ([3]) that if L is a totally real submanifold of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ and L is parallelizable then L is normal. So we try to find an answer to the question of whether there is a compatible almost complex structure J on the symplectic vector bundle $TM$\mid$_{L}$ such that $TL{\cap}JTL=0$ assuming L is normal and parallelizable. Although we could not reach an answer, we observed that the claim holds at the vector space level. And related to the question, we showed that for a symplectic vector bundle $(M,\omega)$ of rank 2n and $E=E_1{\bigoplus}E_2$, where $E=E_1,E_2$are Lagrangian subbundles of E, there is an almost complex structure J on E compatible with ${\omega}$ and $JE_1=E_2$. And finally we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a given embedding into a symplectic manifold to be normal.

In order to investigate the histological and immunohistochemical changes of thyroid glands, and serum osteocalcini estradiol, pmgesterone, follicular-stimulating hormone (FSH), and calcium levels in the osteoporotic rats induced by ovariectomy, normal(sham-operated group) and experimental groups(ovariectomized group) were divided. The experimental groups were subdivide6 to 5, 10, 15, and 20 weeks after ovariectomized groups. The histological structure of the thyroid gland were observed in normal structure throughout all experimental periods but the calcitonin-immunoreartive cells in the experimental groups were significantly decreased compared with normal groups and degranulations of calcitonin-immunoreactive cells were observed. Theses numbers were decreased with time after ovariectomy. However, the serum osteocalcin and FSH levels of experimental groups were significantly increased compared with normal groups and these levels were increased along with time after ovariectomy, but serum estradiol, progestemn and calcium levels of experimental group were significantly decreased compared with normal groups and these levels were decreased with time after ovariectomy.

The normal shell and the regenerated oyster shell, Crassostrea gigas, are separated according to the characteristics of inner shell morphology. To study characteristics of chitin obtained from the regenerated shell, chitin prepared by acid and alkali process is analyzed by FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectrometer) and XRD (X-ray Diffractometer). The content of insoluble protein in the normal shell was more than doubled as compared with that in the regenerated shell. A comparison of secondary structure of the normal shell and the regenerated shell revealed that the content of random of the regenerated shell was above 47%, indicating an amount in the structural unordered state. Through amino acid composition analysis and secondary protein structure of soluble protein isolated from the normal shell and the regenerated shell, it was found that there are differences in biomineralization strategy of the regenerated shell as compared to the normal shell. The relatively low hardness of the regenerated shell is caused by the change of amino acid composition and ordered secondary protein structure as compared to hardness of the normal shell.

This study divided a group of healthy adults aged 20 or older who had a health examination at J General Hospital in Gyeonggi Province into three groups according to the degrees of metabolic syndrome risk factors. They include the normal group (n=58), the pre-metabolic syndrome group (n=112) and the metabolic syndrome group (n=32). They were compared in exercise capacity and cardiac structure and function and impacts of exercise capacity on the cardiac diastolic function. All the groups took echocardiography to have their cardiac structures and functions examined and an exercise stress test to have their exercise capacity measured. The research findings were as follows: There were differences in exercise capacity, cardiac structure, and diastolic heart function among three groups. Between exercise capacity and diastolic heart function was found to be related. It turned out exercise capacity affected the cardiac diastolic functions. In conclusion, there were significant differences in exercise capacity between the normal group and the metabolic syndrome group and in the cardiac structure and function among the normal, metabolic syndrome, and pre-metabolic syndrome group. In addition, METs (metabolic equivalents) and heart rate recovery of exercise capacity turned out to affect cardiac diastolic functions.

Let M be a semi-invariant submanifold of codimension 3 with almost contact metric structure (𝜙, 𝜉, 𝜂, g) in a complex space form M_n+1(c), c ≠ 0. We denote by A and R_𝜉 the shape operator in the direction of distinguished normal vector field and the structure Jacobi operator with respect to the structure vector 𝜉, respectively. Suppose that the third fundamental form t satisfies dt(X, Y) = 2𝜃g(𝜙X, Y) for a scalar 𝜃(< 2c) and any vector fields X and Y on M. In this paper, we prove that if it satisfies R_𝜉A = AR_𝜉 and at the same time ∇_𝜉R_𝜉 = 0 on M, then M is a Hopf hypersurface of type (A) provided that the scalar curvature s of M holds s - 2(n - 1)c ≤ 0.

A mixture fraction formulation is used to numerically simulate the structure of diluted axisymmetric methane-air nonpremixed counterflow flames. The effects of global strain rate and gravity wert! investigated and results were compared. Fuel of a mixture of 20% methane and 80% nitrogen by volume and oxidizer of pure air at low and moderate global strain rates $a_g= 20, 40, 80 s^{-1}$ in normal and zero gravity were computed. It is shown that the numerical method is capable of predicting the structure of counterflow flames in normal and microgravity environments at low and moderate global strain rates.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of syntactic complexity (sentence length and sentence structure) on sentence repetition performance and intelligibility between specific language impairment (SLI) and normal children. Thirteen SLI children and twenty-six normal children, matched by 3 years of language, participated in this study. The sentence repetition performance of the subjects were analyzed based on the sentence length (3-word simple sentences and 5-word simple sentences) and sentence structure (5-word simple sentences, 5-word conjoined complex sentences, and 5-word embedded complex sentences). The results of this study indicated the sentence structure influenced sentence repetition performance and intelligibility of SLI children only. The implication of these findings were discussed.

Maize is divided into two types based on the starch composition of the endosperm in the seed, normal maize(or non-waxy maize) and waxy maize. In this study, genetic diversity and population structure were investigated among 80 waxy maize and normal inbred lines(40 waxy maize inbred lines and 40 normal maize inbred lines) using 50 SSR markers. A total of 242 alleles were identified at all the loci with an average of 4.84 and a range between 2 and 9 alleles per locus. The gene diversity values varied from 0.420 to 0.854 with an average of 0.654. The PIC values varied from 0.332 to 0.838 with an average of 0.602. To evaluate the population structure, STRUCTURE 2.2 program was employed to confirm genetic structure. The 80 waxy and normal maize inbred lines were separated with based on the membership probability threshold 0.8, and divided into groups I, II and admixed group. The 13 waxy maize inbred lines were assigned to group I. The 45 maize inbred lines including 7 waxy maize inbred lines and 38 normal maize inbred lines were assigned to group II. The 22 maize inbred lines with 20 waxy maize inbred lines and 2 normal maize inbred lines were contained in the admixed group. The cluster tree generated using the described SSR markers recognized three major groups at 31.7% genetic similarity. Group I included 40 waxy maize inbred lines and 11 normal maize inbred lines, and Group II included 27 normal maize inbred lines. Group III consist of only 2 normal maize inbred lines. The present study has demonstrated the utility of SSR analysis for the study of genetic diversity and the population structure among waxy and normal maize inbred lines. The information obtained from the present studies would be very useful for designing efficient maize breeding programs in Maize Experiment Station, Kangwon Agricultural Research and Extension Services.
