The improvement of process skills has been one of the most important goals in secondary science education. To achieve this goal, it is essential to develop an instrument for evaluating inquiry skills in addition to improving science curricula, inquiry teaching methods, and other educational environment. There are a lot of instruments in testing science process skills in Korea as well as America and Europe. However, it has been difficult to find the instruments that have a characteristic in content and form. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating science process skills using line graph. This study examined the whole body of scientific process and identified 6 component skills. Three or four items for each component process skills were developed and revised by pilot test and field test. The instrument is considered valid and reliable, for the content validity is 78% and the reliability(KR-20) is 0.82. The discrimination index is 0.57 and difficulty index is 0.47, which also suffice the criteria of good test.

This study compared the marginal bone loss around dental implants that were placed in the canine areas of the mandibles and finded the survival rate of the implants, marginal bone loss around implants and prosthetic complications in 20 patients treated with overdentures retained with Locator attachments. Implants placed in this study showed a 95% survival rate and the average marginal bone loss was 1.21 mm($SD{\pm}0.60mm$) in 94.3 weeks of functional loading. Implant-retained overdentures had various prosthetic complications such as male change, metal cap loosening, Locator attachment loosening, denture teeth change, relining and denture fracture. Implant-retained overdentures using two implants and Locator attachments in the edentulous mandibles is considered as a stable way for long terms because of minimal invasive operation, simple prosthetic process and easy repair.

The purpose of the study is to meta-analyze research results on Korean students' logical thinking ability. The results of meta-analysis on the research studies between the year 1980 and the year 2000 show that about 40-50% of Korean middle school students have conservation reasoning, proportional reasoning and combinatorial reasoning abilities, and that about 25-30% of them have control of variables and probability reasoning abilities. In addition, only 8% of the Korean middle-school students have correlational ability. When comparing their logical thinking ability results with those of Japanese and American middle-school students, The ratio (32.6%) of Korean middle-school students who have formal thought ability is a little higher than that of American students (30.6%), but much lower than that of Japanese students (50.1%).

Colorectal carcinoma is one of the four major cancers in Korea, and it shows the tendency of increase every year due to economic development and changes to western styles. Accordingly, various diagnostic methods are needed and so comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was performed. Deletion was detected on 5q (10%), 10q (17%), 17p (40%), 18p (23%), 18q (47%), 22q (23%), and higher deletion loci were 18q (12/30, 47%), 17p (12/30, 40%), and 22q (7/30, 23%). Amplification was shown on chromosomes 6pq (10%), 7p (17%), 7q (33%), 8q (13%), 9pq (10%), 12q (17%), 13q (37%), 20p (23%), and 20q (57%) respectively. The highest amplification was detected on chromosomes 20q (17/30, 57%), 13q (11/30, 37%), and 7q (10/30, 33%). The genetic change pattern with the locus of colorectal carcinoma was shown mean 3.1 (amplification 1.7, deletion 1.4) on the right colorectal carcinoma, while rectal carcinoma appeared high mean 6.3 (amplification 3.7, deletion 2.6) (p<0.001). The genetic change pattern with lymphatic gland metastasis, mean 3.5 (amplification 2.2, deletion 1.3) from "no metastasis" group, while high mean 6.3 (amplification 3.5, deletion 2.8) from metastasis group (p<0.003). The genetic change pattern with disease stages appeared mean 3.5 (amplification 2.1, deletion 1.4) from I-II stages, while high mean 6.0 (amplification 3.4, deletion 2.6) from III-IV stages (p<0.006). No significance was observed in comparing histological classification and serum CEA increased groups.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different arthroplasty designs on knee kinematic and lower limb muscular activation for up-stair and down-stair movement. 3-D video analysis of whole body and joint kinematics and EMG analysis of quadriceps and hamstrings were conducted. One-way ANOVAs were used for statistical analyses (p=0.05). The single-radius group exhibited more arthroplasty limb quadriceps EMG and hamstring coactivation EMG than the multi-radius group. Single-radius demonstrated more abduction angular displacement and reached peak abduction earlier than the multi-radius arthroplasty limb. The single- radius the percent body fat showed similar values in the Elderly, Single and Multi-radius group among the periods, however Control group was Lowered among the periods. Single-radius group limb also increased the quadriceps muscle activation level to produce more knee extension moment to compensate for the short quadriceps moment arm. Resting metabolic rate was significantly increased in control group in the period of LI. Energy expenditure was extremely increased in all groups except control group among the periods. We can say this is the exercise effects.

Rice quality must certainly be considered as one of the primary preference for consumers. On aspect concerns marketing, such attributes as appearance, physicochemical characteristics, and palatability of brand rice are very important. Therefore this study was carried out to observe the quality of commercial brand rice in Gyeongbuk Province, Korea from 2002 to 2004. In seasonal changes of mean air temperature from early July to middle August, it was lower in 2003 by $0.8{\sim}3.3^{\circ}C$ than that in normal year. Among the rice quality characteristics, the cv of percentage of head rice and palatability (Toyo value) were very low but those of chalky rice and protein content were very high during three years, and the same tendency was also observed among the brands. The average percentages of head rice were 92.5% in 2002, 89.9% in 2003 and 93.3% in 2004, respectively. On the contrary, the percentages of chalky rice were higher in 2003 as 4.9% than those in 2002 (3.9%) and in 2004 (2.8%). These results were caused by the abnormal meteorological conditions in 2003. Due to the higher protein content (8.0%) in 2003, the palatability was deteriorated to 71.0. However the protein content in 2004 was reduced to 7.0% and this result improved the palatability to 77.0.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the BMI, dietary behaviors, body satisfaction and factors affecting the weight control interest according to gender of middle school students (195 boys and 251 girls) in Wonju area. The average height and weight of the boys were $164.8{\pm}8.3\;cm$ and $55.5{\pm}12.3\;kg$ respectively. Those of the girls were $158.8{\pm}5.0\;cm$ and $48.7{\pm}7.4\;kg$ respectively. The average body mass index (BMI) of the boys and girls was 20.3 and 19.3 respectively. In both boys and girls, 69.7% of them had regular meals and the main reason for skipping meals was insufficient time to eat due to oversleeping (33.6%). Most of the subjects consumed snacks more than once a day (95.5%). The dietary intake attitude score of the girls ($35.08{\pm}5.91$) was higher than that of the boys ($33.81{\pm}5.45$) (p<0.01). The eating disorders score of the girls ($12.92{\pm}6.22$) was higher than that of the boys ($10.70{\pm}9.82$) (p<0.01). Also, 87.2% of the subjects showed normal behavior and 12.8% of the subjects had eating disorders, but there was no significant difference according to gender. The body satisfaction score of the boys ($30.16{\pm}5.08$) was higher than that of the girls ($28.00{\pm}5.52$) (p<0.001). In general, body satisfaction score correlated positively with dietary intake attitude score, but correlated negatively with eating disorders score (p<0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that body satisfaction score was the most significant variable which affected the weight control interest. Therefore, development of the nutrition education program for adolescents will be effective not only for the improvement of dietary behaviors but also for the positive change in the misleading perception about the ideal body shape.
