Objective : Impaired response inhibition has been suggested to play an important role in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the response inhibition in patients with OCD, by using the Go/NoGo paradigm, and to better understand its associations with clinical symptoms. Methods : The participants included 63 OCD patients and 80 healthy volunteers matched in age and sex. response inhibition was evaluated using computerized Go/NoGo task, in which their commission error rates, omission error rates, and mean response times were measured. The severity of clinical symptoms in the OCD patients was assessed using Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale. Result : OCD patients showed significantly impaired inhibition and higher omission errors rates despite their slower response time, compared to normal controls. Clinical symptoms were not correlated with commission errors and omission errors. Conclusion : The present results indicate that impairment in response inhibition may play a critical role in the pathophysiology of OCD as a trait. These findings suggest that deficit of response inhibition may contribute to developing and maintaining clinical symptoms such as compelling need to repeat certain actions in patients with OCD.

In this study, to investigate the effects of omitting low-amplitude cycles from a flight-simulation loading, crack growth tests are conducted on 2124-T851 aluminum alloy specimens. Three test spectra are generated by omitting small load ranges as counted by the rain-flow count method. The crack growth test results are compared with the data obtained from the flight-simulation loading. The experimental results show that omission of the load ranges below 5% of the maximum load does not significantly affect crack growth behavior, because these are below the initial stress intensity factor range. However, in the case of omitting the load ranges below 15% of the maximum load, crack growth rates decrease, and therefore crack growth curve deviates from the crack growth data under the flight-simulation loading. To optimize the load range that can be omitted, crack growth curves are simulated by the stochastic crack growth model. The prediction shows that the omission level can be extended to 8% of the maximum load and test time can be reduced by 59%.

This study was designed to investigate the changes of phonological processes in normal Korean children aged from 2- to 6-years. Forty eight children who lived in Seoul or Kyung-Ki do were tested with a picture articulation test and their articulation errors including omissions, additions and substitutions were coded into phonological processes. Those phonological processes were discussed in several ways: syllable structure, place, manner, assimilation, tenseness, and aspiration of sounds. Data were analyzed by two ways: (1) number of subjects who showed each process and (2) percentage of occurrence of each process. Analyses in omission-addition processes demonstrated that postvocalic omission occurred most frequently, followed by velar-, alveolar-, and glottal omission. Analyses in substitution processes showed that fronting (palatal and velar), backing (alveolar), and alveolization occurred most frequently in terms of the place of sounds. In terms of assimilation, alveolar-, stopping, and aspiration assimilation occurred frequently. Analyses by the tenseness and aspiration showed similar occurrences among the 4 processes, with slightly higher occurrences in tensing and aspiration than lanxing and deaspiration. All of the processes decreased by age. The numbers of the processes showed by more than half of the children or exceeded 10％ of occurrence were 20 in 2-years of age, 10 in 3-years of age, 1 in 4-years of age, and none in ages of 5 and 6.

Motion Graphics are a great effective vehicle for precise communication between customers in various media and formats. The important thing in the expression of Motion Graphics is to deliver messages clearly. Some current Motion Graphics which are focused on only attracting attention or sensational expressions more than narrative are evaluated lower. This study aims to utilize easy and positive Motion Graphics to deliver messages by applying their utility to production of Motion Graphics, omitting time spent on delivering effective messages and analyzing their suggestive expression methods because of the nature of producing Motion Graphics. This thesis is to study several theoretical backgrounds of omission and implicated expressions mentioned in the similar studies from the view of Motion Graphics, and to search applied examples and functional things using the expression methods in some film title sequence. Excellent Motion Graphics use planned omission and implicated methods rather than to use entire narratives or complicated descriptions. Especially, a film title sequence should focus on symbolic visual expressions. They are necessary to attract the audience's interest. To overcome the limitation of time and space deliver a huge amount of information quickly and powerfully, Motion Graphics should properly use omission of image and time and suggestive expressions through symbols and metaphors. Then they will have a role to level up their current values and discussions.

The most salient and discussed features of speech production in agrammatic aphasia are the omission and substitution of grammatical morphemes. Cross-linguistic studies have shown that the pattern of omission/substitution is not random but occurs in a systematic and highly constrained way. Although these descriptions are important, they do not explain why all grammatical morphemes are not equally impaired. Friedmann and Grodzinsky (1997) proposed the Tree-Pruning Hypothesis (TPH) to account for these patterns of sparing and loss. The TPH claims that in an agrammatic representation, an impaired functional node is underspecified, thus allowing inappropriate affixation to occur. Additionally, whenever a node is impaired, all nodes above it will also be impaired. Using four types of narratives collected from two Korean agrammatic patients, We test the claim that the impairment in agrammatism is based on such hierarchical representation. It was found that these patients consistently produced appropriate grammatical morphemes that are higher in a syntactic tree than the impaired morphemes. The finding that an intact node exists higher than an impaired node refutes the TPH.

Air quality modeling about coastal urban region such as Pusan shoud be consider shipping source emmited from ships anchoraging and running. It has been proved at our previous studies that the ratios of air pollutants emission amount in coastal area to inland are 12.2% for NO$_2$ and 11.7% for $SO_2$ and the air qualify of coastal urban area consierably counts on ships. Also the dispersion pattern of the all pollutants followed local circulation system in this region. Therefore this study has been developed air quality model which can describe the formation, transport, transformation and deposition processes of air pollutants considering shipping source. Currently, restriction for emission amount of ships does not exist, so our study will be useful to set the omission standard and for devising air quality policy in coastal urban region.

The contribution of degraded human performance (e.g., human errors) is significant for the safety of diverse social-technical systems. Therefore, it is crucial to understand when and why the performance of human operators could be degraded. In this study, the occurrence probability of human errors was empirically estimated based on the complexity of proceduralized tasks. To this end, Logistic regression analysis was conducted to correlate TACOM (Task Complexity) scores with human errors collected from the full-scope training simulator of nuclear power plants equipped with analog devices (analog environment). As a result, it was observed that the occurrence probability of both errors of commission and errors of omission can be soundly estimated by TACOM scores. Since the effect of diverse performance influencing factors on the occurrence probabilities of human errors could be soundly distinguished by TACOM scores, it is also expected that TACOM scores can be used as a tool to explain when and why the performance of human operators starts to be degraded.
