Two types of ridge regression estimators were compared with the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator in order to select the "best" estimator when multicollinearitc existed. The ridge estimators were Mallows's (1973) $C_P$-like statistic, and Allen's (1974) PRESS-like statistic. The evaluation was conducted based on the predictive ability of a yield model developed by Matney et al. (1988). A total of 522 plots from the data of the Southwide Loblolly Pine Seed Source study was used in this study. All of ridge estimators were better in predictive ability than the OLS estimator. The ridge estimator obtained by using Mallows's statistic performed the best. Thus, ridge estimators can be recommended as an alternative estimator when multicollinearity exists among independent variables.

1 . Experimental study Preventive effect of Korea Red Ginseng (KPG) on hypertensive retinal arteriolosis in rabbits was studied. The results as follows: Blood pressure: Hypertensive group (B) was obviously raised up in comparing with that in normal group(A) and in hypertension + KRG group(C). Ocular fundus:Changes in B group including the retinal arteriospasm, crossing arterioveous, exudation and edema. But C group showed lightly. Light microscope: HE stained vascular damage in retina including thickness hyalimisation, execdates and edema Electron microscope: The endothelial cells were arranged irregularly, different shape and showed cytoplasm loose and vacuole. Immunohistochemistry: Ginseng can regulating endothelin-1, angiotension-ll, endothelium grow factor expre,j,iion and secreation in retinal blood clrultion. 2. ClinicAl Study 66 of hypertensive patients (42 men, 23 women,48-68 years old)and 20 normal person (7 men, 13 women,47-68 years old) were administrated(p.0.) by HRG (3g per day for 6 weeks). The results showed that marked effective rate and total effective rate were 53cyo and 60.6alo respectively and no severe side effects were found. The above results suggest that Ginseng have a difinite hypotensive effect and a role of preventing hyperfine sloe arteriosclerosis.

A 30 nm $In_{0.7}GaAs$ High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) with triple-gate has been successfully fabricated using the $SiO_2/SiN_x$ sidewall process and BCB planarization. The sidewall gate process was used to obtain finer lines, and the width of the initial line could be lessened to half by this process. To fill the Schottky metal effectively to a narrow gate line after applying the developed sidewall process, the sputtered tungsten (W) metal was utilized instead of conventional e-beam evaporated metal. To reduce the parasitic capacitance through dielectric layers and the gate metal resistance ($R_g$), the etchedback BCB with a low dielectric constant was used as the supporting layer of a wide gate head, which also offered extremely low Rg of 1.7 Ohm for a total gate width ($W_g$) of 2x100m. The fabricated 30nm $In_{0.7}GaAs$ HEMTs showed $V_{th}$of -0.4V, $G_{m,max}$ of 1.7S/mm, and $f_T$ of 421GHz. These results indicate that InGaAs nano-HEMT with excellent device performance could be successfully fabricated through a reproducible and damage-free sidewall process without the aid of state-of-the-art lithography equipment. We also believe that the developed process will be directly applicable to the fabrication of deep sub-50nm InGaAs HEMTs if the initial line length can be reduced to below 50nm order.

The kinetic and chemical mechanisms of AChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of short-chain thiocholine esters are relatively well documented. Up to propanoylthiocholine (PrTCh) the chemical mechanism is general acid-base catalysis by the active site catalytic triad. The chemical mechanism for the enzyme-catalyzed butyrylthiocholine(BuTCh) hydrolysis shifts to a parallel mechanism in which general base catalysis by E199 of direct water attack to the carbonyl carbon of the substrate. [Selwood, T., et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 10477- 10482] The long chain thiocholine esters such as hexanoylthiocholine (HexTCh), heptanoylthiocholine (HepTCh), and octanoylthiocholine (OcTCh) are hydrolyzed by electric eel acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The kinetic parameters are determined to show that these compounds have a lower Michaelis constant than BuTCh and the pH-rate profile showed that the mechanism is similar to that of BuTCh hydrolysis. The solvent isotope effect and proton inventory of AChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of HexTCh showed that one proton transfer is involved in the transition state of the acylation stage. The relationship between the dipole moment and the Michaelis constant of the long chain thiocholine esters showed that the dipole moment is the most important factor for the binding of a substrate to the enzyme active site.

This study was carried out to find out the correlation between plant groups and environomental gradient in the native grassfild near Kang Nam Express Terminal from August 26 to september 15, 1977. The correlations among plant species were calculated by using the method of x2 and the various relationships among soil environmental gradients were grouped by means of correlation coefficient. As a result, both the species and the soil environmental factors could be subdivided into four groups, and the four groups of the native grassfield were turned out to be correlated with the four groups of soil environmental factors. The first plant group (Panicum dichotomiflorum, Chenopodium album, Bidens forndosa, Humulus japonicus, Alopeculus amurensis, Potentilla fragarioides, Centipeda minima, Beckmannia erucaeformis) was formed in the releve 1∼10 reagions, organic matter by Turins's method, Total N, Exchange Ca and total of Exchange K, Na, Kg, Ca were abundent. The second plant group (Digitaria sanguinalis, Paltulaca oleracea, Echinochlea macrocrovi, Cyperus amuricus) was formed in the relve 11∼18 reagions, where Exchange Ca and total of Exchange K, Ng, Mg, Ca were little but Exchange A1 and sand were aburdent. In relve 19∼20 reagions, with much of Exchange Ca, total of Exchange K, Na, Mg, Ca, pH and a little Exchange Al, was found the third plant group (Pycreus sanguinoloentus, Cyperus amuricus, Ludwigia prostrata, Echinochloa echinata, Polygonum thunbergii, Salix glandulosa seedling) The fourth plant group (Cassia nomame, Polygnoum perfoliatum, Setaria viridis, Glocien ussuriensis, Lactuca indica, setaria glauca, Artemisia capill aris, Artmisia asiatica, Calamagrostis arundinacea, Kummerowia striata, Denothera odorata, Artemisia japonica, Carey laceolata) was formed in relve 21∼25 reagions, where organic matter by loss on ignition, Exchange Mg and Maximum water holding capacity were abundent but sand was a little. Thus it can be concluded that there is a close relationship between the vegetation group clasified by meaus of x2 and the environtal factors of soil devided by means of correlations coefficient.

The prediction of the actual ultimate capacity of confined concrete columns requires partial confinement utilization under eccentric loading. This is attributed to the reduction in compression zone compared to columns under pure axial compression. Modern codes and standards are introducing the need to perform extreme event analysis under static loads. There has been a number of studies that focused on the analysis and testing of concentric columns. On the other hand, the augmentation of compressive strength due to partial confinement has not been treated before. The higher eccentricity causes smaller confined concrete region in compression yielding smaller increase in strength of concrete. Accordingly, the ultimate eccentric confined strength is gradually reduced from the fully confined value $f_{cc}$ (at zero eccentricity) to the unconfined value $f^{\prime}_c$ (at infinite eccentricity) as a function of the ratio of compression area to total area of each eccentricity. This approach is used to implement an adaptive Mander model for analyzing eccentrically loaded columns. Generalization of the 3D moment of area approach is implemented based on proportional loading, fiber model and the secant stiffness approach, in an incremental-iterative numerical procedure to achieve the equilibrium path of $P-{\varepsilon}$ and $M-{\varphi}$ response up to failure. This numerical analysis is adapted to assess the confining effect in rectangular columns confined with conventional lateral steel. This analysis is validated against experimental data found in the literature showing good correlation to the partial confinement model while rendering the full confinement treatment unsafe.

The hexavalent chromium ions in wastewater are highly toxic chemicals even at low concentrations. It causes serious diseases, such as cancer, skin disease, digestive trouble et. al. In this study, $Cr^{6+}$ ions were removed by using borosilicate glasses. Various glasses system with different compositions were prepared and then reacted in a solution contaning $Cr^{6+}$ ions. After the reaction, the concentration of the $Cr^{6+}$ ions remained in the solution was measured by ICP-OES. The reacted surface of the glasses was also analyzed by using a XRD, SEM, and EDS. When $Na_2O-RO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ (RO=MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO) glasses were reacted with a solution containing $Cr^{6+}$ ions, the optimum removal efficiency of $Cr^{6+}$ ions was observed in the BaO glass. $Ba^{2+}$ ions leached out of these glasses combine with $Cr^{6+}$ ions in a solution to form $BaCrO_4$ crystals on the glass surface. In this manner, the $Cr^{6+}$ ions can be removed from the solution. It is conceivable that $Ba^{2+}$ ions are reacted with $Cr^{6+}$ ions in a solution immedeately after leaching out of the glasses. The pH of the solution for optimum removal of $Cr^{6+}$ ions were 3.0~5.0.

We present a new description of envelope-function equation of the superlattice (SL). The SL wave function and corresponding effective-mass equation are formulated in terms of a linear combination of Bloch states of the constituent material with smaller band gap. In this envelope-function formalism, we review the fundamental concept on the motion of a wave packet in the SL structure subjected to steady and uniform electric fields F. The review confirms that the average of SL crystal momentums K = ($k_x,k_y,q$), where ($K_x,k_y$) are bulk inplane wave vectors and q SL wave vector, included in a wave packet satisfies the equation of motion = $_0+Ft/h$; and that the velocity and acceleration theorems provide the same type of group velocity and definition of the effective mass tensor, respectively, as in the Bulk. Finally, Schlosser and Marcus's method for the band theory of metals has been by Altarelli to include the interface-matching condition in the variational calculation for the SL structure in the multi-band envelope-function approximation. We re-examine this procedure more thoroughly and present variational equations in both general and reduced forms for SLs, which agrees in form with the proposed envelope-function formalism. As an illustration of the application of the present work and also for a brief investigation of effects of band-parameter difference on the subband energy structure, we calculate by the proposed variational method energies of non-strained $GaAs/Al_{0.32}Ga_{0.68}As$ and strained $In_{0.63}Ga_{0.37}As/In_{0.73}Ga_{0.27}As_{0.58}P_{0.42}SLs$ with well/barrier widths of $60{\AA}/500{\AA}$ and 30${\AA}/30{\AA}$, respectively.
