Data from Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled(4th year, 187 workers) was used for analyzing the difference between hearing aid users and nonusers for their job satisfaction and daily life satisfaction. The analyses result shows that there are no significant differences in both job satisfaction and daily life satisfaction between hearing aid users and nonusers. However, job satisfaction of hearing aid users has a positive role in daily life satisfaction. Although hearing aids to the hearing impaired played very important role, it was thought to be resulted that some influence factors such as the increase of using IT devices and the expansion of communication support services weren't applied because of the nature of the panel data. These limitations of the study and implications are presented at the conclusion.

Polyolefins are important commodity polymers with the largest volume of business owing to their outstanding combination of cost performance and excellent physical properties. However, the lack of functional groups often has limited their end uses, such as compatibilizer, modifier and adhesive, where the interaction with other materials is especially important. The incorporation of functional groups as polymer segments to afford block or graft polyolefin copolymers has been extensively investigated in the context of the functional polyolefin hybrids. Living polymerization processes have been considered to be an efficient method to prepare the polyolefin hybrids with precisely controlled architecture and compositions. Among the living polymerization techniques, controlled/"living" radical polymerization (CRP) methods are very effective not only because of the controllability of polymerization but also because of the versatility of monomers and polymerization conditions. In this review paper, progresses on the preparations of polyolefin graft or block copolymers through CRP techniques are summarized. The commodity polymers such as polyisobutylene, polyethylene and polypropylene are combined with polar segments such as polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polystyrene to yield functionalized polyolefins.

Motion estimation occupies the largest computation in the video compression. Multiple processing elements are often exploited in parallel to meet processing speed. More processing elements increase processing speed, but they also increase hardware area. therefore, it is important to optimize the number of processing element. HEVC (high efficiency video coding) usually exploits multi-stage motion estimation algorithms for low computation and high performance. Since the number and position of search points are different in each stage, the utilization of the processing elements is not always 100% and the utilization is quite different with the number of processing elements. In this paper, the optimizing method is proposed on the number of processing elements. It finds out the optimal number of the processing elements for the given multi-stage motion estimation algorithm by calculating utilization and execution cycle of the processing elements.

The pseudophase separation model is used to describe the effects of pH and n-propanol on the mixed micellar formation of protonated and unprotonated dimethyldodecylamine oxides. Dimethyl-dodecylamine oxide surfactant molecules may exist in aqueous solution in either nonionic (unprotonated) or cationic (protonated) form, and they can be modeled thermodynamically as a binary mixture of cationic and nonionic surfactants. The composition of the binary mixture is varied by adjusting the solution pH. And activities, micellar compositions, and monomeric compositions of two surfactant species can be calculated directly from the experimental titration data by applying pseudophase separation model to the micellar system of DDAO in water/n-propanol. The critical micellar concentrations and the p$K_a$ values of the binary mixture systems are dependent on the micellar composition of the protonated cationic surfactant (X); especially they show the minimum phenomena when they are plotted against the micellar composition of the protonated cationic surfactant (X). The critical micellar concentration of the binary mixed DDAO system is generally decreased when n-propanol is added to the binary mixture system, and the degree of decrease is dependent on the concentration of n-propanol.

Rheological and electrical properties of polystyrene (PS)/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites via coagulated precipitation were investigated. Chemical modification and surfactant wrapping of CNT to improve the dispersion of CNTs may reduce the intrinsic properties of pristine CNT. To avoid this problem, PS and CNTs were dissolved and dispersed in dimethylformamide and then PS/CNT nanocomposites were prepared by the coagulated precipitation of CNT-dispersed PS solution in water. The coagulated precipitation method was highly effective enhancing the electrical conductivity of nanocomposites. Furthermore, the effect of adding poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) crosslinked particles to PS matrix on the rheological and electrical properties was investigated. With the addition of the crosslinked particles, the electrical percolation threshold of CNT reduced to 0.25 wt% and electrical conductivity increased further. It is speculated that CNTs in the volume occupied by crosslinked particles helped electrical pathway formation.

Soybean, hydrogenated soybean and corn oils, which were exposed to fluorescent light for different periods of time, were evaluated for sensory qualities by subjective sensory evaluation and instrumental gas chromatographic analysis. Sensory evaluation was conducted in 8 laboratories using a 10-point hedonic scale with a total of 95 panel members. The correlation coefficients between sensory scores and predicted sensory scores by gas chromatographic analysis for the 8 laboratories varied from 0.10 to 0.99. However, most laboratories had better than 0.90, which was considered excellent. The correlation coefficients between sensory scores of the 95 panel members and predicted sensory scores using the amount of 2. 4-decadienal isomers in oil determined by a gas chromatographic method for soybean, hydrogenated soybean, and corn oils, were r=0.96, r=0.97, and r=0.97, respectively. The correlation study suggests that it is possible to obtain realistic results of oil flavor qualities from the instrumental evaluation by combining improved gas chromatographic analysis, sensory evaluation, and statistical analysis for practical purposes.

It Is a unique dietary culture in Korea in that starch is isolated and utilized from steeped potato. In this experiment the potato was steeped in water at $30^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and the properties of starch were examined. The pH in steep water decreased, while sugar cotent (total and reducing) increased. The lager granules were diminished during steeping. Holes on the starch granules were observed from the second days of steeping The density, amylose content, phosphorus and lipid content were decreased. Relative crystallinity of starch reached the highest value at 4th day of steeping and decreased thereafter. The changes in enthalpy of gelatinization were similar. Starch was resistant to acid or enzymatic hydrolysis and showed lower values for swelling power and amylograph viscosities.
