The effects of three different irrigating water qualities(clean water, life sewage and animal sewage) on the pattern of arthropod communities in the rice fields were investigated at Banwol, Kyonggi-do, mid-western part of Korea from 1994 to 1996. The total density of arthropod was highest in the rice field which was irrigated with clean water(clean water field), and the arthropod community was mainly composed of aphids and collembolans. Each functional group was found in the order of 'pests>non-pests>natural enemies' in its density. The dominant taxa in the pest group were aphids, planthoppers(Delphacidae), leafhoppers(Cicadelidae) and rice water weevil(L. oryzophilus). In the non-pest group collembolans, non-biting midges and dipterans were main arthropods, and in the natural enemy group Araneae was the dominant taxon. In the early growth stage of rice plant the dominant functional group was pests, and in the mid growth stage both the pest and the natural enemy group became dominant. But in the late growth stage none of the functional group was dominant over the other functional groups. The densities of spiders were much more higher in the clean water field than in the other fields. And through all the growth stages of rice plants the density of spiders in clean water field kept increase in contrast to the others. The species composition of spiders in the life sewage field was similar to that in the animal sewage field, but in the clean water field it was different from the other two fields.

Actinomycetes occur in a wide range of environments and many more actinomycetes remain to be detected in the natural environment. In isolation stages, selection of the environment as a source of useful isolates is important. Two hundred and eighteen strains were isolated on Bennet's agar and 346 strains were on humic acid-vitamin agar from five each paddy field, field, forest, grass land, riverside soil samples. These isolates were identified to the genus level based on morphological and physiological characteristics. Among them, 386 strains were Streptomyces, 49 strain were Nocardia, 35 strains were Microbispora and Micromonospora each, 15 strains were Nocardiopsis, 13 strains were Actinomadura, 10 strains were Streptosporangium, and the others were isolated rarely. According to soil type, Nocardia, Micromonospora, Microbispora and Streptosporangium were dominant in paddy field, Microbispora Nocardia, Nocardioides and Micromonospora were dominant in field, Nocardia, Micromonospora, Microbispora and Actinomadura were dominant in grass land, Nocardia, Micromonospora and Microbispora were dominant in forest, Nocardia, Microbispora and Micromonospora were dominant in riverside. Generally, Nocardia, Micromonospora, Microbispora and Actinomadura were isolated in all kinds of soils, Streptosporangium were paddy field, Dactylosporangium were forest, Nocardiopsis were field, forest and riverside.

This paper considers internal pressure fluctuations for a range of building volumes and dominant wall opening areas. The study recognizes that the air flow in and out of the dominant opening in the envelope generates Helmholtz resonance, which can amplify the internal pressure fluctuations compared to the external pressure, at the opening. Numerical methods were used to estimate fluctuating standard deviation and peak (i.e. design) internal pressures from full-scale measured external pressures. The ratios of standard deviation and peak internal pressures to the external pressures at a dominant windward wall opening of area, AW are presented in terms of the non-dimensional opening size to volume parameter, $S^*=(a_s/\bar{U}_h)^2(A_W^{3/2}/V_{Ie})$ where $a_s$ is the speed of sound, $\bar{U}_h$ is the mean wind speed at the top of the building and $V_{Ie}$ is the effective internal volume. The standard deviation of internal pressure exceeds the external pressures at the opening, for $S^*$ greater than about 0.75, showing increasing amplification with increasing $S^*$. The peak internal pressure can be expected to exceed the peak external pressure at the opening by 10% to 50%, for $S^*$ greater than about 5. A dominant leeward wall opening also produces similar fluctuating internal pressure characteristics.

Forest timber production potential of any site is oftentimes measured quantitatively by site index, which is defined as dominant height of a particular stand at a specified age. A site index was developed for estimating site quality of monoculture Pinus caribaea plantations in southwestern Nigeria using a base age of 25 years. Dominant height data were collected from 60 Temporary Sample Plots (TSPs) of $20{\times}20m$ in plantations of 15 to 37 years. Linear and non-linear models as been widely applied in quantitative forest measurements were fitted to dominant height-age data and the best site index equation is : $SI=Exp^{(InHd-23.495(A^{-2}-0.04)}$. The site index curves constructed for the three sites (Omo Forest Reserve - OFR (J4), Oluwa Forest Reserve - OLFR and Shasha Forest Reserve - SFR) across the southwestern Nigeria using the chosen equation revealed that a 15 year old Pinus caribaea in the study area attained average dominant heights of 25, 22 and 21 m in OFR (J4), OLFR and SFR respectively. The site index equation and curves proffer veritable insight into better silvicultural options and management practices for the future plantations suitable sites.

Purpose: This study was to identify factors that influence the organizational commitment and job satisfaction of nurses. Method: The data were collected from 1st, August until 7th, August, 2005. The subjects were 238 nurses from a general hospital in Busan. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS program. Result: The organizational commitment and job satisfaction was significant positive correlations with flexibility, satisfaction, competence factors and significant negative correlations with empathy factors and centralization factor. The most powerful predictors of Nurses's organizational commitment and job satisfaction was managerial strategy of organizational characteristics. And, satisfaction factors of professional self-concept, affiliative-dominant culture and conservative- dominant culture and innovative-dominant culture were powerful predictor factors. The Other powerful predictors of nurses's job satisfaction were satisfaction factors of professional Self-concept, communication and centralization factor of organizational characteristics, affiliative-dominant culture and conservative-dominant culture, professional image factor of nurse image. Conclusion: This study revealed that important factors for nurses's organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Consequently, the manager should be make effective managerial strategy and encourage that nurse have more satisfy to professional self-concept. And the manager make constant efforts to create an affiliative culture in hospital.

This paper proposes a dominant source-based tree (DSBT) that constructs a localized multicast routing tree for dynamic multicasting without rerouting. To constrain end-to-end delays a multicast tree needs to be reconstructed when a new node joins the group due to additive tree constraint. In DSBT, a multicast group G is expressed by a (DS, NCM) pair, where DS is a dominant source address and NCM is a normalized cost margin. A node wishing to participate in a group selects a path that complies with NCM toward DS such that the end-to-end cost is constrained without any rerouting. Simulation results show that the proposed method performed better in terms of the overall tree cost compared with the Nave algorithm and in terms of the end-to-end delays between any two members compared with the Greedy algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of dominant brand, the quality variation among brands in the extension product category and the self-construals on consumer's attitude about extension products. The experimental design consist of three-way complex factors and 226 subjects participated for the study. The results showed that when there was fashion brand extension, whether or not there was an existing dominant brand in the extension product category, the quality variation among brands in the extension product category and the types of self-construals had a significant interaction effect on their favorableness and intention to purchase the extension products. Regardless of an existing dominant brand however, the group who had an interdependent self-construal showed higher favorableness and intention to purchase the extension products when the quality variation among brands in the extension product category was lower than when it was high, whereas the group who had an independent self-construal showed no significant difference of the favorableness and intention to purchase the extension products.

The combined wastewater of municipal landfill leachate and municipal sewage was treated using several sets of bench-scale aerated circulating system including porous media. Investigated items in this experiment were the dominant protozoa and metazoa in this system, the variation of microfauna relationship between operating condition and dominant genera. Also considered the factors determining dominant genera and their role. The outcome of this research is as follows; 1. Aspidisca, Vorticella, Truhellophyllum, Lecane, Philodina, Cyclops were mainly appeared prior to combinding leachate, while Trachelocerca, Bodo, Glaucoma were the dominant genera after combinding leachate. 2. As to metazoa, Nematode and Philodina were not influenced by 5oA leachate mixing ratio, meanwhile Crustacea has high sensitivity for increased leachate mixing ratio and it was not appeared in 5% leachate mixing ratio. 3. The appropriate treatability could'nt be expected at the above 10% leachate mixing ratio. Especially, in the condition of 20% leachate mixing ratio, all of the microfauna were affected damage seriously on their existence. Meanwhile hydraulic retention time, substrate loading rate and slut자e production rate didn't give notable influence on increasing the number of microfauna. 4. As to protozoa, saprozoic and holozoic species were appeared commonly and polysaprobic species were dominent. 5. Filamentous organsms were nearly not affected by leachate mixing. It seems that they could live without any trouble at the 10% leachate mixing ratio, if the substrate is sufficient. 6. Diversity of microfauna had a reducing trernd as the sewage was mixed with leachate.

This study investigated the dominant frequency of the elastic waves from the tensile test. The specimen was rolled with five different rolling degrees (10, 22, 33, 42 and 50%), which was treated subzero. The specimen was rolled at room temperature, which was transformed from austenite to martensite (only α'-martensite). The dominant frequency increased with an increase in the rolling degree regardless of the subzero temperature, and decreased after 33% of the rolling degree. On the other hand, higher frequency band was obtained at lower temperature and long time. The dominant frequency increased when the amount of α'-martensite increased and decreased with the α'-martensite amount between 50-65%. The lower subzero treatment temperature increased the amount of α'-martensite, which resulted in the higher dominant frequency. The longer treatment time at the same subzero temperature led to an increase in the amount of α'-martensite, leading to high dominant frequency.

Purpose : The purpose of this study of normal elderly and stroke patients by comparing the dominant side and recessive side was to evaluate the differents between each Methods : Thirty-two elderly participated in this study. They were classified two groups: stroke patients group and the normal elderly group. Outcome measures were: general characteristics and BMD. General characteristics included age, height, weight and body mass index. BMD was represented in the osteoporosis index, T-score and Z-score. The measurements of bone mineral density were evaluated on the calcaneus region of the dominant and recessive side, using OsteoPro. The data analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software and the Paired-sample T-test and the Independent-sample T-test Results : OI, T-score, Z-score showed no significant differences between dominant side and recessive side in normal elderly group. But stroke patients group showed OI, T-score, Z-score significant differences between paretic side and nonparetic side. Change score subtracted recessive side from dominant side was significant differences between stroke patients group and normal elderly group. Conclusion : There is positive relationship between physical activity and BMD in stroke patients. Therefore, improved physical activity can have a beneficial effect by reducing osteoporosis in stroke patients, considering a positive relationship between physical activity and BMD.
