The purpose of this study is to evaluate the distribution and change of curvature of the anterior corneal surface with age in emmetropia. 504 subjects who have emmetroia with good naked vision of at least 0.6-1.0 (spherical equivalent: +0.75D- -0.75D) participated in this study. The 504 subjects into 8 groups with 10 year interval from 3-year to 83-year, and their corneal curvatures were analyzed using manual keratometry. The results are as follows. In individual analysis: First, regression analysis of corneal curvature radius with age has given an equation: Y = -0.003x + 7.796 (r = -0.26). The average corneal curvature radii was measured to be $7.68{\pm}0.25mm$ at 38.3-year and range was 6.98-8.54 mm. Second, frequency of corneal curvature radius were obtained in 36% between 7.61 and 7.80 mm, 78% between 7.41 and 8.00 mm, 96% between 7.21 and 8.20 mm, 100% between 6.98 and 8.54 mm. Third, as for the comparison of corneal curvature radius with respect to sex, The mean value of male (n = 304, mean: 37.6-year $7.72{\pm}0.24mm$, Range: 7.09-8.54 mm) is larger than that of female (n = 200, mean: 39.3-year $7.62{\pm}0.24mm$, Range: 6.98-8.42 mm) by 0.1mm (p<0.01). In groups analysis: First, regression analysis of corneal curvature radius with age has given an equation: $Y=-0.0066x^2+0.0227x+7.7282$ (r = -0.90). Second, vertical and horizontal curvature radius decreased with age (p < 0.01). Especially the decrease of horizontal curvature radius were more pronounced than the decrease of vertical (horizontal:10-70 age group: 0.38 mm decrease, vertical:10-70 age group: 0.20 mm decrease). Third, difference between steep and flat meridian (astigmatism) progressively decreased with age. (low age group:0.18 mm difference, high age group: 0.08 mm difference). Fourth, the corneal curvature radius of male was larger than female's in total groups(p < 0.01). Consequently, the change of corneal curvature radius with age progressively decreased in all conditions (mean, vertical, horizontal, male, and female) and this change was more outstanding in horizontal rather than in vertical.

TCP packets occupy over 90% of current Internet traffic thus understanding of TCP throughput is crucial to understand Internet. Under the TCP congestion regime, heterogeneous flows, i.e., flows with different round-trip times (RTTs), that share the same bottleneck link will not attain equal portions of the available bandwidth. In fact, according to the TCP friendly formula, the throughput ratio of two flows is inversely proportional to the ratio of their RTTs. It has also been shown that TCP's unfairness to flows with longer RTTs is accentuated under loss synchronization. In this paper, we show that, injecting bursty background traffic may actually lead to new type of synchronization and result in unfairness to foreground TCP flows with longer RTTs. We propose three different metrics to characterize traffic burstiness and show that these metrics are reliable predictors of TCP unfairness.

Purpose: This study was investigated to find out a useful instrument instead of direct ophthalmoscope for ocular photostress recovery time (PSRT) test. Methods: The PSRT test was performed using direct ophthalmoscope, trans illuminator, pen light, and camera flash for 48 subjects (average age 22.88 years, 96 eyes) who were corrected to 0.8~1.2 of visual acuity. Results: Each mean of PSRT measured by direct ophthalmoscope, trans illuminator, pen light, and camera flash was $27.90{\pm}18.40$ sec, $23.73{\pm}12.99$ sec, $21.31{\pm}15.57$ sec, and $18.98{\pm}11.64$ sec, respectively. The difference of PSRT between the eyes corrected more than 1.0 and the other eyes corrected under 1.0 of visual acuity was not found significantly. And there was no difference between dominant eyes and nondominant eyes of PSRT. Conclusions: Though the nearest instrument to direct ophthalmoscope was trans illuminator, pen light and camera flash could be the useful instruments for PSRT test.

The skin condition varies by the parts of the face. This study intended to visualize the facial skin based on the characteristics including moisture, sebum, dryness, amount of dead skin cells, and roughness by sectionalizing the facial skin into 9 areas. A total of 98 female in their 20~35s were selected, and the characteristics of skin by area were selected and listed in the order, and the area they felt each characteristic most strongly was analyzed with a weight and the result was visualized. The result showed that the area where they felt dryness the most was around the lips and eyes, and the area where the largest amount of dead skin cells and rough skin existed was the chin. There was a significant increase in moisture content (p <.05), and 90.5% of satisfaction with dryness was satisfied. The result of this study will be used as a basic data for the development of a cosmetic mask pack or a functional cosmetic product for each part.

Susceptibility of Blattella germanica male adults to 61 commercial insecticides was evaluated by diet dipping method. Among them three insecticides of dichlorvos, fenitrothion, and fipronil showed over $90\%$ mortality. The insect was more susceptible to dichlorvos and fenitrothion in filter paper contact method than in diet dipping one, but fipronil was vice versa. Toxicities of the three chemicals were evaluated by application parts of the such as head, thorax, abdomen, and legs. Dichlorvos and fenitrothion were more toxic when applied to head, and flpronil was thorax. $LT_{50}$ values by diet dipping method showed that fenitrothion and fipronil acted more rapidly than boric acid and hydramethylnon. The values of the former two were 1.05 and 0.98 days, and those of the latter two were 3.92 and 2.26 days, respectively.

It is an important work to determine the mesh size of gill net for efficient catch. For investigating the suitable mesh size, the gill net for anchovy, Engraulis japonica was made and operated in the bay of Ulsan in July. 1983. The gill net for anchovy was composed of six different mesh size, 23.1mm (H=0.65), 21.6mm (H=0.65), 20.0mm (H=0.65), 23.1mm (H=0.55), 21.6mm (H=0.55) and 20.0mm(H=0.55). The parts of body caught by the gill net was examined, and the selectivity curves (for reference Ishida's method) with respect to the each mesh size were estimated using the data obtained through the operation of research gill net. The main results of this study are as follows: 1. The number of anchovy whose neck was in net was 148, more than $90\%$ of all, 161 2. The coefficient of relationship between the circumference of neck and the fork length were 0.70. 3. Fork length that the relative fishing efficiency of 23.1 mm mesh size (H=0.55) was maximum value was about 11.1 centimeter.

Serum free medium was developed to cultivate Human Embryonic Kidney cells with Cytodex III microcarriers. The cells normally attached and spreaded on the microcarriers in serum free medium, and grew well by bead to bead processes. 85% of attachment yield was obtained on Cytodex III in this medium, compared to about 93% in 1% serum containing medium. About 90% of the attached HEK cells spreaded after 6 hours of post-attachment periods on the surface of microcarrier. Maximum cell density and scu-PA concentration in a serum free medium were $9.1{\times}10^5$ cells/ml and 1790 IU/ml, respectively, with fed-batch cultivation. Maximum cell density and scu-PA concentration in this medium with perfusion cultivation were $2.5{\times}10^6$ cells/ml and 1820 IU/ml, respectively. The conversion of single chain urokinase type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) into two chain type plasminogen activator (tc-PA) was less than 5% in a serum free medium compared to about 10% in 0.5% serum containing medium.

When a mobile station(MS) performs a handover, in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN, MS's channel scanning for discovering new available APs is the dominating factor in handover latency, accounting 90% of overall latency. In order to reduce such a scanning latency, we focus on the method for reducing the number of channels for the MS in handover process to scan. With the help of IEEE 802.21 information server(IS), a proper order of groups of channels to be scanned is offered by the current AP depending on the information of neighbor APs in terms of the distance from serving AP, traffic load and network topology. By using this scanning order, the passive scanning of a MS in normal operation enables the MS to filter out the unavailable channels, and thus to classify the candidate channels of neighbor APs into three groups. Then, a handover-imminent MS can perform the active scanning from the most reliable group of channels. Simulation results show that the proposed scanning scheme reduce the scanning latency in comparison with the conventional scheme.
