In this paper, we propose the Optimal Polynomial Neural Networks(PNN) for nonlinear process. The PNN is based on Group Method of Data Handling(GMDH) method and its structure is similar to feedforward Neural Networks. But the structure of PNN is not fixed like in conventional Neural Networks and can be generated. The each node of PNN structure uses several types of high-order polynomial such as linear, quadratic and modified quadratic, and is connected as various kinds of multi-variable inputs. The conventional PNN depends on experience of a designer that select No. of input variable, input variable and polynomial type. Therefore it is very difficult a organizing of optimized network. The proposed algorithm identified and selected No. of input variable, input variable and polynomial type by using Genetic Algorithms(GAs). In the sequel the proposed model shows not only superior results to the existing models, but also pliability in organizing of optimal network. Medical Imaging System(MIS) data is simulated in order to confirm the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed approach in this paper.

We consider a retrial queue with two classes of customers where arrivals of class 1(resp. class 2) customers are MMPP and Poisson process, respectively. In the case taht arriving customers are blocked due to the channel being busy, the class 1 customers are queued in priority group and are served as soon as the channel is free, whereas the class 2 customers enter the retrial group in order to try service again after a random amount of time. We consider the following retrial rate control policy, which reduces their retrial rate as more customers join the retrial group; their retrial times are inversely proportional to the number of customers in the retrial group. We find the joint generating function of the numbers of custormers in the two groups by the supplementary variable method.

The purpose of this study was to identify the ecological variables related with children's emotional intelligence, examine their recognition of all the variables affecting their emotional intelligence and classify the variables into the categories of children (gender, grade, self-efficacy), home environment (employed mother or unemployed mother, communication between parents and child, type of family composition, number of siblings), and peer group environment (peer group). The study subjects were 680 elementary school students. Data were analyzed via t-test, F-test, correlation, and multiple regression. The results of this study were as follows. First, emotional intelligence showed significant difference and relationship among the children variables, home environment variables, and peer group environment variable. (Ed- also note the absence of 'fourth' above) Second, emotional intelligence in children was relatively reviewed by the above three variables and the most affecting variable was self-efficacy in children.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate individual difference of chewing speed and chews per bolus duing the rumination using twenty three heads of grazing cattle and thirty six heads of barn feeding cattle. Rumination behaviour was measured and recorded by the masster EMC telemeter and visual observation. The chewing speed (chews/lOOsec) was significantly different individually (C.V. 13.0-14.5 %) among the variable aged group (1-60 months), but that of same aged group showed lower difference (C.V. 4.5 %). The chews per bolus showed even larger individually difference than the chewing speed, so the variable aged group (1-60 months) resulted the 15.5-16.2 %of C.V.and the same aged group showed the 9.5 % of C.V. Under 12 month aged cattle showed more rapid chewing speed than older aged cattle. The chewing speed changed with the growth of cattle, but the chews per bolus did not show any relationship with age, so it is regarded as the individually characteristic pattern.

This paper proposes an algorithm to reduce the bitrate for transmission of MCP(motion compensated prediction) error signals. Many digital image coders have recently employed hybrid coding schemes which perform motion compensation, DCT transform, quantization, and variable length coding. The variable length coding compresses the quantized DCT coefficient data by removing their statistical redundancy. But some DCT blocks have the interblock statistical redundancy as well as the intrablock one. To utilize both of them, the DCT blocks are classified into the interleaving group and the non-interleaving group. And then each DCT blocks in the interleaving group are is encoded independently, and the DCT blocks in the interleaving group are encoded after interleaving the DCT coefficients. Through the simulations, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method in which each DCT block is encoded independently.

This is one of the basic research for inspecting the possibility of the development of logical thinking capability to make possible formal thinking. The 5th grade students (n=306) in the elementary school were participated in this study. Performing the 6 variable-controlling activities in the 'Thinking Science' program for one semester, the SRT II test and the Variable-Controlling test were operated to examine the effects on the development of the variable-controlling ability by treatments, gender, and cognitive levels. Performing of the variable-controlling activities was highly successive on the development of students' variable-controlling ability. Although learning effect on the ability of identifying causal variable was moderate, the abilities of controlling experimental condition, measurement of variable, and identifying result variable were significantly developed. There was statistically significant difference by gender. Girls showed better performance all the time in both groups. Boys in the experimental group were getting better gradually, so the difference by gender was somewhat decreased. Examining the variable-controlling ability by cognitive levels, students in the experimental group show significant increase in all levels, especially the students in early, mid, and mature concrete level show substantial learning effects. The results of this study implied that the variable-controlling activities in the 'Thinking Science' could be effective for learning of variable-controlling and eventually for the development of logical thinking capability to make possible formal thinking.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementing level of housewife's manage-ment behavior related to reducing environmental pollution and the effects of three variable-groups on management behavior related to reducing environmental pollution. The research data were collected by structured questionnare and 544 cases were finnally selected. The data analysis was conducted by the method of frequency mean Pearson's correla-tion multiple regression. The major findings were as follows: 1) The implementing level of housewife's overall management behavior slightly high. 2) Wife's value(ecologicalism materialism expediency social-enviromental resources(degree of masscom contact degree of meeting with neighbors. refuse box) were significant predictors of the level of overall management behavior And Background variables(wife's aged and educa-tion level & job household income occupation of husband) had not significant effect on the level of overall management behavior. The most influential variable-group on the level of overall management behavior and buying cleaning & dishwashing cooking laundry activities was Wife's value. But the most influential variable-group on the implementing level of disposing trash was social-environmental resources.

The purpose of this study was to understand the Korean teenagers\` clothing behavior through pointing out the factors that clothing behavior of teenagers that was initiated from the important reference group, TV stars. The subject of this study were 570 purposively selected students at female middle and high school students in Seoul. The results were as follows : 1. The clothing conformity to TV stars relating to demographic variables was influenced significantly by location and personal expense variable in the high school group. 2. The exhibition showed a more important role to the clothing conformity in middle school group than in high school group. 3. The clothing conformity to TV stars relating to the clothing related variables was significantly affected by self-confidence to clothing than clothing normative recognition, clothing risk recognition and degree of clothing importance regardless of groups. 4. The clothing conformity to TV stars relating to TV media variables was affected by TV media star identification variable in both groups. And in case of middle school group, interests in TV stars also had influence on the clothing conformity to TV stars. And in case of high school group, interests in TV had effect on the imitation to TV stars\` clothing. As middle school students tend to have self-identification about a particular person, TV media stars become the reference group for the adolescence to follow their clothing.

Purpose: To explore the usefulness of previous fall history as a triage variable for inpatients. Methods: Medical records of 21,382 patients, admitted to medical units of one tertiary hospital, were analyzed retrospectively. Inpatient falls were identified from the hospital's self-report system. Non-falls in 1,125 patients were selected by a stratified matching sampling with 125 patients with falls (0.59%). A comparative and predictive accuracy analysis was conducted to describe differences between the two groups with and without a history of falls. Logistic regression was used to measure the effect size of the fall history. Results: The fall history group showed higher prevalence by 9 fold than the non-fall history group. The relationships between falls and relevant variables which were significant in the non-fall history group, were not significant for the fall history group. Falls in the fall history group were 25 times more likely than in the non-fall group. Predictive accuracy of the risk assessment tool showed almost zero specificity in the fall history group. Conclusion: The presence of fall history, the fall prevalence, variables relevant to falls, and the accuracy of the risk tool were different, which support the usefulness of the fall history as a triage variable.

Objective: This study aimed to predict balance and gait abilities with the Trunk Impairment scales (TIS) in persons with stroke. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Sixty-eight participants with stoke were assessed with the TIS, Berg Balance scale (BBS), and Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) by a therapist. To describe of general characteristics, we used descriptive and frequency analyses, and the TIS was used as a predictive variable to determine the BBS. In the simple regression analysis, the TIS was used as a predictive variable for the BBS and FGA, and the TIS and BBS were used as predictive variables to determine the FGA in multiple regression analysis. Results: In the group with a BBS score of >45 for regression equation for predicting BBS score using TIS score, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) was 0.234, and the $R^2$ was 0.500 in the group with a BBS score of ${\leq}45$. In the group with an FGA score >15 for regression equation for predicting FGA score using TIS score, the $R^2$ was 0.193, and regression equation for predicting FGA score using TIS score, the $R^2$ was 0.181 in the group of FGA score ${\leq}15$. In the group of FGA score >15 for regression equation for predicting FGA score using TIS and BBS score, the $R^2$ was 0.327. In the group of FGA score ${\leq}15$ for regression equation for predicting FGA score using TIS and BBS score, the $R^2$ was 0.316. Conclusions: The TIS scores are insufficient in predicting the FGA and BBS scores in those with higher balance ability, and the BBS and TIS could be used for predicting variables for FGA. However, TIS is a strong predictive variable for persons with stroke who have poor balance ability.
