Electromyographic studies of the cricopharyngeus muscle using hooked wire electrodes were performed in thyroidectomized patients. The shape of the cricoid cartilage and soft tissue thickness in the postcricoid area were evaluated during pitch elevation and pitch lowering using conventional neck lateral films. The cricopharyngeus muscle simultaneously activated in the initial task of speech and continuously activated. Its activity lessened in the interrogative stress contrast of sentence terminals and increased in the pitch lowered contrast of sentence terminal. On the radiologic findings the cricoid cartilage was tilted backward during high pitched phonation and tilted forward during low pitched phonation. The soft tissue thickness of postcricoid area was thicker at the low pitch than at high pitch. At low pitch the cricoid cartilage paralleled along the vertebral column. This result suggests that the bulging of cricopharyngeus muscle in contraction induce a thickened the postcricoid area thickened, and exert pressure anteriorly exerted on the cricoid cartilage. This contraction of the cricopharyngeus muscle may result in shortening the vocal fold and lowering pitch.

본 논문에서는, LDPC 코드의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서, LDPC 코드의 에러 플로어(error floors)를 낮추어서 복호를 수행하는 효율 좋은 알고리듬을 제안한다. 이 방법은, 바람직하지 않은 구조 때문인데, Tanner 그래프의 트래핑 세트를 줄여서 복호를 하는 방법이다. 이 알고리듬은 트래핑 세트를 줄이는 방법으로 복호의 효율성을 얻는다. 모의시험을 통해서 이 알고리듬의 개선된 성능을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Stigmastanol, a functional agent of cholesterol-lowering in humans, was synthesized from stigmasterol. To investigate the usability as a raw material, the contents of sterol in vegetable oils and extract of soybean chaff were analyzed. The total sterol contents showed high values of 213.7 and 209.8 mg/100g in corn and soybean oils respectively. The extract of soybean chaff has played a good role as a raw material with high sterol contents. The kinetics of hydrogenation of stigmasterol was studied using a 5% Pd/AC catalyst in the temperature range of 30~$60^{\circ}$C. Increasing temperature showed a prominent decrease in conversion. The optimum temperature was $40^{\circ}$C for high yield of stigmastanol. The effects of $H_2$ pressure, agitation speed, catalyst loading, and stigmasterol concentration on reaction rate profile were also examined. From the power law model analysis using the initial rates of reaction, the reaction order was calculated as 0.705 for stigmasterol concentration and 0.147 for hydrogen pressure.

The purpose of this paper is to study the fuel economy improvement experimentally when the viscosity of engine oil is lowered. The emissions are measured for CVS-75 mode with SAE viscosity grades. The test results indicate that a close correlation has been found between the engine oil viscosity and the fuel economy. The lowering of engine oil viscosity causes the reduction of friction loss which has a very close relation with the fuel economy. These results as the lowering of engine oil viscosity will be a important factor for improvement of the fuel economy and reduction of the $CO_2$ emission.

This paper attempts to analyze the characteristics of Korean vowel production by 12 Korean native speakers and 36 adult learners. The analyses have been performed with investigations of F1and F2 values. Results showed that there's no significant difference between /ㅔ/ and /H/ and between /ㅗ/ and /ㅜ/ in Korean native speakers' pronunciations. The distinguishing tendencies found in the analyses of foreign learners' pronunciations are fronting and lowering of /ㅗ/ by English speakers, backing and heightening of /ㅓ/ by Japanese speakers and backing and lowering of /ㅏ/ by Chinese speakers. For the limitations of this paper, it has a meaning of a preliminary study and could be developed into further research to show the order of acquisition and L1 transference.

Physiological toxic and mutagenic effects of gramoxone in Drosophila melanogaster were invetigated. Gramoxone was highly toxic on the development, resulting in of lowering the viability and in prolongation of the developmental times. Adults treated with gramoxone during the developmental stages caused a lowering of the productivity and a little chinge in protein quantity. But the effect on the sex-linked lethal mutagenesis was found to be negative. The order of mortality causing ado리t stoa형e feeding to gramoxone in the D. melanogaster complex was like this ; D. mauritiana, D. sechellia, D. simulans and D. melanogasteu Two species of the D. yakuba complex were alike. Those results were more or less correlation with speciation of the D. melanogaster subgroup.

Let ${K^{(\vec{p};N)}_{\vec{n}}(x)}$ be a multiple Kravchuk polynomial with respect to r discrete Kravchuk weights. We first find a lowering operator for multiple Kravchuk polynomials ${K^{(\vec{p};N)}_{\vec{n}}(x)}$ in which the orthogonalizing weights are not involved. Combining the lowering operator and the raising operator by Rodrigues# formula, we find a (r+1)-th order difference equation which has the multiple Kravchuk polynomials ${K^{(\vec{p};N)}_{\vec{n}}(x)}$ as solutions. Lastly we give an explicit difference equation for ${K^{(\vec{p};N)}_{\vec{n}}(x)}$ for the case of r=2.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate lipid-lowering and antioxidant effects of Artemisia capillaris(A. capillaris) using a model of hyperlipidemic rats induced by poloxamer-407. Methods: Rats were previously treated by A. capillaris water extract, and intraperitoneally injected by poloxamer-407 to induce hyperlipidemia. Parameters of serum lipid and oxidative stress biomarkers were determined. Results: 1. A. capillaris ameliorated the elevation of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and MDA level. 2. A. capillaris ameliorated the reduction of serum TAC and SOD activities. 3. A. capillaris ameliorated the reduction of serum GSH and GSH-reductase level. Conclusions: According to these results, A. capillaris can be used to treat hyperlipidemia or as basis for making new drugs for treating hyperlipidemia in the future.
