Developing countries are in competition to attract ODA and FDI in an effort to overcome poverty and development. This study tries to identify factors influencing the distribution of ODA and FDI resources and analyzes if ODA and FDI are in complementary relationship. We use a panel data for 53 African countries during early and middle of 2000 period. Factors affecting the ODA distribution include per capita GDP, physical infrastructure, good institutions of receiving countries. FDI was found to be positively affected by market size, trade openness, human capital accumulation, business-friendly regulatory environment. The impact of ODA is believed to be more effective and sustainable if it has a complementary relationship with FDI. Our result, however, did not confirmed the complementarity relation between the two.

Team collaboration is becoming commonplace and it is spotlighted in agile software development projects as well. More efficient teamwork in terms of effective team operation and project performance is very important. Heuristic software development staffing method has been used, but algorithm approach is needed to compensate for it. In this paper, we propose a mathematical approaches for staffing developers in teamwork-based software development projects. This consist of six process, and activities in each processor is defined as a mathematical function placement, and functional deployment matrix is used. A case study is presented in order to prove the usefulness of this approach. This paper is a significant research because a mathematical approach of work assignment is developed for human resources by quantitative logic and it deviate from intuitive or heuristic methods used previously.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the skin irritation of bee venom (melittin) in human. Skin irritation test was performed at 0.05% bee venom by 48 h single patch test in 30 healthy volunteers with no skin disease and skin sensitization test was performed by local lymph node assay in animal. In single patch test, 28 human subjects showed no reaction and 2 subjects showed 1+ or 3+ grade skin reaction. In a skin sensitization test of bee venom conducted using mice. no erythema was observed on the dorsal side of mice up to 8 days after application of bee venom on the skin. The results of the average stimulation index by ATP values showed that there was no irritation to the mice skin at 0.005% and 0.01% of bee venom. Therefore, bee venom is not likely to induce a significant skin irritation under 0.05% concentration.

Silk is praised "Queen of Fiber", which wrote a glorious page in the history of human adornment culture. Thanks to the development of science and technology, silk production has been increased dramatically during last half century. Nowadays, as "Healthy Fiber" silk lets all the globe to be forming the "Silk Boom" Like in other scientific fields, a great deal of progress has been made in sericultural science and technology, which also accelerated the development of multipurpose utilization of sercultural recourses. The main tendency of the sericulture development is raising the quality of cocoon, and at the same time, increasing the output per unit mulberry area and labor production efficiency. The chief measure of raising the cocoon quality is breeding and selecting the new mulberry and silkworm varieties, preventing and curing the diseases and pests and improving the environment of mounting, and the symble for increasing the labor productivity is carrying out the technological system of saving labor and operation ease, and enlarging the production scale. As a natural protein fiber, silk will be still a favorite with human in the next century, because its structure and properties can not be replaced by other any fiber. The 21st century is the biological time, and measures of developing sericulture will use the achievement on the field of molecular biology and biotechnology to carry out the molecular breeding, development regulating, silkworm rearing industrializing, exploiting the new silk and its new usage, utilizing the sericultural resources, and producing the special protein from silkworm as a host of expressing exogenous genes so that make the sericulture to contribute more what it can do for the human being.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of nutrition education program and pamphlet for the lower grades elementary students focused on individual daily needed food exchange units using Food Exchange System. Program consisted of four lessons (40 min/lesson), "5 major nutrients & function", "6 food group and sources", "daily needed food exchange units for normal body weight", and "smart snack choice and exercise". Pamphlet as activity book was developed for the program. The subjects were 3rd grade elementary students (educated group, 31 vs. non-educated group, 31). Educated group were lessoned as group and/or individual. We examined the differences in nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes, dietary intakes and satisfaction of the program and pamphlet. In educated group, there were positive improvements on nutrition knowledge score "function and foods of 5 nutrients" and on dietary attitudes "type of breakfast and snacks". In the evaluation of dietary intakes according to KDRI, there were positive improvements on intakes level of riboflavin, vit. C, folate, Ca, P, Fe and Zn in educated group. In satisfaction with the program and pamphlet, contents, font size, visual, figure, difficulty and program curriculum were over 2.90/3.0. It showed that the developed nutrition education program and pamphlet focused on individual daily needed food exchange units using Food Exchange System improved nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes and nutrients intake level in the lower grades elementary students.

The fragrance has a great influence on consumers' cognition, emotional response, attitude, memory, and behavior since the human sense of fragrance is physically and neurologically closer to the hippocampus of the brain. The fragrance materials are exposed to humans ranging from skin interaction to inhalation. We have lots of stories and literature on the usage of fragrance in everyday life in Korea from the Dangun myth to present K-beauty cosmetics. In Korean history, such archives as Dong-Eui-Bo-Gam and Gyu-Gak-Chong-Seo at Joseon Dynasty clearly recorded the application of many weeds for the manufacture of various fragrance products. In recent times, fragrances in weeds have been being applied to touch the consumer's feelings. The present mini-review is an attempt to introduce and discuss fragrant weeds in the archives and in science journals, effects of fragrant weeds on the human electroencephalographic activity, and effects of fragrance on the behavior of consumers. This review could be useful for the development of natural cosmetic and perfumery products from fragrant weeds.

This study introduced a chick embryos’ infection model to elucidate the pathogenesis mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes serious diseases in human after ingestion of P. aeruginosa-contaminated animal originated foods. The embryonic chick model is able to give a rapid and relatively inexpensive method to assess bacterial pathogenicity compared to embryos of other vertebrates. Embryos were infected with P. aeruginosa and elastase-deficient P. aeruginosa. After infection with P. aeruginosa cells, total bacterial cell numbers and gelatinase activities in the embryos were compared. Thereafter, precartilage condensation and chondrogenesis were assessed by peanut agglutinin (PNA) binding on day 3 and by Alcian blue staining for sulfated proteoglycans on day 5, respectively. P. aeruginosa significantly increased in embryos, resulting in abnormal limb development, whereas P. aeruginosa defective in elastase activity partly impaired proliferation. In addition, P. aeruginosa-infected chick embryos significantly stimulated the production of matrix metalloproteinases. Several analyses showed that elevated proteases suppressed the proliferation and survival of chondrogenic cells. The results show that this infection model was a useful assay to determine the virulence mechanism of P. aeruginosa in human after intake of microbiologically contaminated foods.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate kiwifruit as a tenderizer by its effects in improving the quality of various beef parts. Basic data are provided for development of standard recipes for convenient cooking in foodservice. The optimum temperature of the crude proteolytic enzymes in the kiwifruit was determined to be $65^{\circ}C$. The substrate specificity of the enzymes was higher in beef than in pork, chicken, or duck. The enzymes had their greatest effects on chuck and rib parts, and had lower effects on loin, breast, and round parts, in that order. As the amount of kiwifruit extract increased, the moisture content of the cooked beef also increased. The addition of 10% kiwifruit improved the sensory quality of the cooked beef. In particular, the texture scores of cooked beef samples treated with 10% and 15% kiwifruit extract were significantly higher than the other samples (p<0.001), and juiciness and overall acceptability scores were also highest. In summary, 10% kiwifruit extract is deemed an appropriate addition to improve.
