In this paper, we consider a boundary value problem for a sixth order difference equation. We prove the monotone behavior of the eigenvalue of the problem as the coefficients in the difference equation change values and the existence of a positive solution for a class of problems.

This study was conducted ton investigate the mineral contents of commercial baby foods. Samples were classified into 4 groups; powdered formula, baby juice product (domestic), juice and paste products (imported) and soymilk-based formula. We analyzed Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Cu, Zn contents by atomic absorption spectrophotometer after dry-ashing. The difference of analyzed value versus labeled value and Ca/P ratio of analyzed value were calculated. The difference (%) of analyzed value on the labeled value was Ca: 98.6, P: 121.8, Mg: 146.1, Na: 87.4, K: 104.3, Fe: 104.8, Cu: 120.2, Zn: 109.8 in powdered formula, Mg showed the highest difference among the elements. The Ca/P ratio of powdered formula was 1.41 (1.70-1.99). Baby juice products (domestic) were fortified Ca, Fe and the difference (%) of analyzed value on labeled value of Ca and Fe contents was 131.8, 110.2, respectively. The Ca/P ratio of these was 2.36 (1.64-3.71). Differently the domestic products, imported juice and paste products were not fortified Ca, Fe and its Ca/P ratio was 0.38(0.14-0.59). The difference (%) of analyzed value on the labeled value was Ca: 110.2, Mg: 179.5, Na: 83.7, K: 87.8, Cu: 107.8, Fe: 219.8, Zn: 100.5, P: 126.6 in soymilk-based formula, Fe showed the highest difference among the elements. The Ca/P ratio of soymilk-based formula was 1.17 (1.04-0.39).

Existence results for multiple positive solutions of two classes of boundary value problems for bilateral difference systems are established by using a fixed point theorem under convenient assumptions. It is the purpose of this paper to show that the approach to get positive solutions of boundary value problems of finite difference equations by using multi-fixed-point theorems can be extended to treat the bilateral difference systems with one-dimensional Laplacians. As an application, the sufficient conditions are established for finding multiple positive homoclinic solutions of a bilateral difference system. The methods used in this paper may be useful for numerical simulation. An example is presented to illustrate the main theorems. Further studies are proposed at the end of the paper.

We consider two finite difference approxiamations to a singular boundary value problem arising in the study of a nonlinear circular membrane under normal pressure. It is shown that the rates of convergence are O(h) and O($h^2$), respectively. An iterative scheme is introduced which converges to the solution of the finite difference equations. Finally the numerical experiments are given

For a transcendental entire function f(z) with zero order, the purpose of this article is to study the value distributions of q-difference polynomial $f(qz)-a(f(z))^n$ and $f(q_1z)f(q_2z){\cdots}f(q_mz)-a(f(z))^n$. The property of entire solution of a certain q-difference equation is also considered.

The purposes of this study were to reveal the relation of consumer value variables and to identify the difference of clothing information exploration behaviors on consumer value variables. The data were collected from 267 college women residing in Gwangju using a Questionnaire to general value, clothing value, consumption value and clothing information exploration behaviors. It were analyzed with factor analysis, cluster analysis, T-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis using statistical program SPSS 10.0. The results of this research were as follows: 1. Only one factor of general value had a significant influence on 'practical' of clothing value. All of general value and clothing value had a significant influence on the whole consumption value. 2. Clothing information search behaviors was divided into three factors: 'variety pursuit' 'active information collection' and 'uniqueness pursuit'. General value group had a significant difference in 'variety pursuit' and 'active information collection' behavior. Clothing value and consumption value group had a significant difference in all factors of clothing information search behaviors. By implication, this study could be explain each contributions of consumer values and suggest useful variable of consumer values in future clothing behaviors research.

This study was undertaken in an attempt to; 1) measure value orientation of nursing activities, 2) identify the relationship between nurse's role perception and patient's expectation, and 3) evaluate the pattern of nursing education and nursing service administration. 203 hospitalized adults and 203 professional nurses from 11 general hospitals in Seoul during the period of July to December 1973 were tested according to questionnaire based on 4 categories of clinical nursing activities, 1) physical care, 2) observation and control, 3) psycho-social care and 4) therapeutic measures. Results of the study are as follows: 1. Nurses were more concerned than patients in the physical care category. Significant difference was revealed by p<.01 level (t=2.800). Mean value score of nurses was average (2.84), and mean value score of patients was relative' y low (2.49). None of the physical care category questionnaire items were over 3.5. 2. Respondents from hospitals of total care system revealed significant difference in the physical care category by P〈.025 level. (t=2.242). Mean value score of both group were average level (nurse 2.90, patient 2.53), nurses showed higher concern. 3. Difference between nurse's role perception and patient's expectation in observation and control category was revealed non- significance by p〉0.05. level (t=1.238). Mean value score of both group revealed relatively high (nurse=3.44, patient 3.19). 4. Difference between nurse's role perception and patient〉expectation in psycho-social cart category revealed non- significance by p〉.05 level (t=0.758), Mean value score of both group revealed average level (nurse =2.71, patient =2.53), 5. Non- significant difference was noted between B. S. N. and diploma nurse's role perception in the psycho- social care category by p> 0.1 level (t=0.316). 4. Difference between nurse's role perception and patient's expectation in the rapeutic me assures category revealed non- significance by p〉0.05 level) t=0.503). Horses showed high concern by mean value score 3.56 level and patients relatively high by 3.41. All items of this category revealed very high or relatively high value score.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of threshold value of computed tomography on the accuracy of rapid prototyping (RP) medical model Material and Methods : CT datas of a human dry skull were transferred from CT scanner via compact disk to a personal computer (PC). 3-dimensional image reconstruction on PC by V-works/sup TM/ 3.0 (CyberMed. Inc.) software and RP models fabrication were followed. 2-RP models were produced by threshold value of 500 and 800 selected in surface rendering process. Linear measurements between arbitrary 12 anatomical landmarks on dry skull, 3-D image model, and 2-RP models were done and compared. Thus, the accuracy of 500 RP and 800RP models was respectively evaluated. Results: There was mean difference (% difference) in absolute value of 2.27 mm (2.73%) between linear measurements of dry skull and 500 RP model. There was mean difference (% difference) in absolute value of 1.94 mm (2.52%) between linear measurements of dry skull and 800 RP model. Conclusion: Slight difference of threshold value in rendering process of 3-D modelling made a influence on the accuracy of RP medical model.
