Early age at menarche, which is indicator of early biological maturity, has been shown to be associated with increased adult body mass index. Early menarche has also been associated with many cardiovascular disease risk factors and metabolic syndrome. To evaluate the impact of menarche to cardiovascular risk factor, we assessed by age at menarche, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), which represents arterial stiffness, in women with or without metabolic syndrome. The subjects recruited for this study were three hundred one women. Relatively early menarche and relatively late menarche were classified according to less than $50^{th}$ percentile for relatively early menarche, and great than the $50^{th}$ percentile for relatively late menarche. Subject were divided four group, 1) women who had not adulthood metabolic syndrome and relatively early menarche, 2) women who had not adulthood metabolic syndrome and relatively late menarche, 3) women who had adulthood metabolic syndrome and relatively early menarche, 4) women who had adulthood metabolic syndrome and relatively late menarche. Women who had a relatively early menarche with adulthood metabolic syndrome had significantly high levels of blood pressure, triglyceride, fasting insulin and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels than women with late menarche with adulthood metabolic syndrome, and had significantly lower HDL-cholesterol levels. And also, women who underwent a relatively early menarche with metabolic syndrome had highest level of baPWV in adult. In this study we found effect of age at menarche on adulthood metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g., baPWV, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia) in Korean women.

제한수신 시스템은 케이블 및 고정형 위성 방송 시스템에서 서비스 유료화를 위해 개발되었고 기술 및 시장 성숙도가 높다. 그러나 이러한 평가는 고정형 방송 시스템에서의 제한수신 기술로 한정된다. 지상파 DMB와 같은 디지털 이동 방송의 경우는 사용 형태 및 기술 특성으로 인해 기존 고정형 방송 시스템의 제한수신 기술을 그대로 적용하기 어렵다. 특히 제한된 리소스를 사용하는 T-DMB의 경우 각 서비스 채널마다 전송해야하는 제한수신 메시지는 방송 서비스에 문제를 발생시킨다. 각 서비스채널로 전송되는 제한수신 메시지를 논리적인 제한수신용 채널을 통해 전송하는 것이 바람직한데 이럴 경우 각 서비스 채널에서 사용되는 제한수신 메시지를 하나의 전용채널로 다중화 할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 전용채널 구성시 필요한 제한수신 메시지 다중화 기법을 설계하겠다.

The quality of tomatoes drastically changes according to storage conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and air composition. High storage temperatures result in the degradation of the firmness and color of tomatoes and in decay by bacteria, whereas chilling injury and softening can be caused by storage at low temperatures. The gas composition in the storage and packaging are other parameters that influence the quality and shelf life of tomatoes by preventing excessive transpiration and respiration. In addition, tomato quality is dependent on the degree of maturity and harvest season. Because there are many quality parameters, it is necessary to systemically establish an optimal standard, and this approach requires collecting and reviewing various data on storage conditions. The aim of this review was to provide basic information by comparing and analyzing studies on the changes in tomato quality (firmness, color, lycopene content, and acidity of tomatoes) during storage and to describe a few models that can assess the quality parameters. Many studies have provided results from experiments on the effects of postharvest control (e.g., storage temperature, packaging film, and gas treatment, as reviewed above) on tomato quality including firmness, soluble solids content, and lycopene content. However, it is still necessary to conduct an overall analysis of the published conditions and to determine the best method for preserving the quality of tomatoes as well as other fruits.

PURPOSE: Computerization using ICF as a protocol can enhance the assessment, communication, and decision-making of various disciplines and cultures, individual functions, disabilities and health to promote communication and understanding among various professionals, organizations, and countries. The empirical foundation for these propositions was provided by delineating of six distinct computerization components. METHODS: This study analyzed 14 papers that combined the medical field and information technology to activate the ICF through computerization. From each of these papers, distinctive advantages were extracted to propose six computerization elements. The validity of these computerization elements was examined. These papers encompass various computerization elements, among which core elements were identified. In particular, six common core elements were extracted from these papers and assumed to be strategic computerization components for ICF activation. A heuristic methodology was employed to validate these components, representing IT technology maturity using four determining indices, which were then presented graphically for validation attempts. RESULTS: Four quantified indices were defined: reliability, cost-effectiveness, support and updates, and collaboration. Using these indices, this study identified elements that leverage existing IT technologies and require new development. The possibility of increasing utility was identified by applying computerization to ICF. CONCLUSION: This study examined the strategic elements of utilizing ICF by computerizing it using a protocol concept and discussed its potential for utilization. The potential to enhance the value of information in social, physical, and cultural contexts was presented by integrating various domains and data within the ICF framework.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate genetic correlations between the behavioural profile and performance in laying hens as an indirect answer to the question whether the observed behavioural responses are associated with increased levels of stress in these birds. Methods: The assessment of birds' temperament was carried out using the novel objects test. The behavioural test was conducted in two successive generations comprising 9,483 Rhode Island White (RIW) birds (approx. 4,700 individuals per generation) and 4,326 Rhode Island Red (RIR) birds (approx. 2,100 individuals per generation). Based on the recorded responses, the birds were divided into two groups: a fearful profile (1,418 RIW hens and 580 RIR hens) and a brave/curious profile (8,065 RIW hens and 3,746 RIR hens). The birds were subjected to standard assessment of their performance traits, including SM, age at sexual maturity; ST, shell thickness; SG, egg specific gravity; EW, mean egg weight; IP, initial egg production; and HC, number of hatched chicks. The pedigree was three generations deep (including two behaviourrecorded generations). Estimation of the (co)variance components was performed with the Gibbs sampling method, which accounts for the discrete character of the behavioural profile denotation. Results: The analyses revealed negative correlations between the performance traits of the laying hens and the behavioural profile defined as fearful. In the group of fearful RIW birds, delayed sexual maturation (0.22) as well as a decrease in the initial egg production (-0.30), egg weight (-0.54), egg specific gravity (-0.331), shell thickness (-0.11), and the number of hatched chicks (-0.24) could be expected. These correlations were less pronounced in the RIR breed, in which the fearful birds exhibited a decline in hatchability (-0.37), egg specific gravity (-0.11), and the number of hatched chicks (-0.18). There were no correlations in the case of the other traits or they were positive but exhibited a substantial standard error, as for the egg weight. Conclusion: To sum up the results obtained, it can be noted that behavioural responses indicating fearfulness, i.e. escape, avoidance, and approach-avoidance may reflect negative emotions experienced by birds. The negative correlations with performance in the group of fearful hens may indirectly indicate a high level of stress in these birds, especially in the white-feathered birds, where stronger performance-fearfulness correlations were found. Fearful birds should be eliminated from breeding by inclusion of the behavioural profile in the selection criterion in the case of laying hens.

The great economic losses caused by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infection of peppers has led to the development of genetically modified (GM) CMV-resistant peppers. We developed virus-resistant pepper plants using Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated transformation. The expressed recombinant protein was purified using nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid resin and immunoaffinity chromatography, and purity was assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Immunoblot analysis revealed the purified CMV coat protein (CMV-CP) had a molecular mass of 25 kDa. After in-gel digestion and desalting, the internal peptide fragments of CMV-CP were sequenced by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight. Most GM pepper and Escherichia coli BL21 internal peptides had identical peptide sequences and contained 137 of 183 whole peptides in CMV-CP. A quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect CMV-resistant GM peppers. We also provide basic information about the expressed protein in GM peppers for further safety assessment. The contents of soluble protein and CMV-CP were measured in GM and control peppers cultivated in three different areas of Korea. Statistical significance in terms of cultivation areas, harvest times, generations, and plant tissue origin were determined based on a P value of 0.05. The highest amount of CMV-CP was detected at the seedling stage from plant grown in each region. T3 and T5 showed significantly different levels of CMV-CP from T4 in leaves in the whorl stage. No statistical differences were observed among GM peppers at different stages of maturity in any cultivation area. The results from this study contribute to the safety evaluation of newly designed CMV-resistant GM peppers and provide a standard against which to compare other virus-resistant GM peppers.

1996년 작물시험장 전작포장에서 수확시기를 달리한 헤어리베치 잔사를 무경운과 경운조건에 mesh bag을 이용하여 설치하고 시기별로 수거하여 잔사의 질소잔존율과 추정된 질소방출량을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 헤어리베치는 수확기가 늦어질수록 녹비로 환원 가능한 건물중과 질소량 그리고 식물체의 화학성분 중 C/N율 및 cellulose, hemicellulose함량이 증가하였는데 건물중과 질소량은 특히 5월 28일 수확한 것이 각각 6,377, $243kg\;ha^{-1}$로 4월 23일과 5월 9일 수확한 것에 비해 월등히 많았으며 C/N율 및 cellulose함량은 5월 9일과 5월 28일 수확한 것이 4월 23일의 것에 비해 많이 증가하였다. 헤어리베치 잔사를 경운조건(지하 15cm)에 설치한 것이 무경운조건(지표)에 설치한 것보다 분해가 빨라 초기의 질소잔존율이 낮았는데 경운 조건시 설치후 1 2, 3주후에 각각 40, 23, 15%의 질소가 잔존하였던 것에 비해 무경운 조건에 설치한 것은 각각 71, 31, 21%의 질소가 잔존하였다. 헤어리베치의 무경운 및 경운 모두 수확을 늦게 한 헤어리베치일수록 잔사의 분해가 늦고 질소잔존율이 높았는데, 특히 5월 28일 수확한 잔사가 4월 23일과 5월 9일 수확한 잔사에 비해 무경운 조건에서는 설치후 8주까지, 경운조건에서는 설치 후 5주 까지 질소의 잔존율이 높았다. 헤어리베치의 추정질소방출량은 헤어리베치의 경운방법과 수확시기별 식물체 화학성분의 상이에 의한 차이보다 수확 시기별 생산된 혜어리베치 질소량의 차이에 의해 크게 좌우되어 질소생산량이 가장 많은 5월 28일 수확한 헤어리베치가 추정 질소방출량이 가장 많았으며, 경운방법에 따라서는 경운한 것이 무경운 한 것 보다 초기의 질소방출량이 많았는데 경운시는 3주 후에, 무경운시는 5주 후에 잔사질소의 대부분이 토양으로 방출되었다.
