  • The transparisation technology for milk and milk products could be applied widely and very importantly to various determination because transparisation can economize the cost and increase with precision in the milk payment system. Component of butanone or Triton in transparisation solvent would inhibit the growth of bacteria and method. Enzymatic determination of leucocytes were proposed to evaluate milk quality as mastitis in the milk payment system, this can be easily applied to simplify automation of the determation with the lowest investment cost in milk pay system. The significance of this technique, it can be used in the quality control of raw milk and milk products, milk payment system, and programming of national dairy project. Transparisation technology is used in somatic cell counting by enzymic methods. The range of deviation for this method is 16% in 74 samples. But the deviation is increased to 20% when the Infoss method is used. It is affected by the percentage of epithelial cells and white blood cells in somatic cells from different animals and the stages of aging. NAgase activity has an obvious correlation with white-blood cells in milk. In the case of mastitis the white-blood cells is 90-95% in somatic cells in milk, it is showing greater precision in measuring the state of mastitis. In conclusion the enzymic method of somatic cell counting is a relatively simple and easy method of measurement and can be easily practiced. And the importance of this method is also worth utilizing for indirect counting of Somatic cells by use of synthetic substrates to NAgase. In the future, with the further development of the research in this field, it will b possible to automatize the measurement.

  • For quality control of components in Korean red ginseng powder and extract, a new method for simultaneous quantification of 12 ginsenosides ($Rg_1$, Re, Rf, $Rh_1$, $Rg_2$[S], $Rg_2$[R], $Rb_1$, Rc, $Rb_2$, Rd, $Rg_3$[S], and $Rg_3$[R]) was studied. Compared to the official method for quantification of marker substances (ginsenosides $Rg_1$ and $Rb_1$), the proposed methods were guaranteed by in-house method validation. Several criteria such as linearity, specificity, precision and accuracy were evaluated. For red ginseng powder, recovery (averaging 95% to 105%) was calculated, and analysis of variance was carried out to estimate the relative standard deviation (0.20% to 2.12%). For red ginseng extract, the average recovery rate was 90% to 99% and the relative standard deviation was 0.39% to 2.40%. These results indicate that the proposed method could be used in the laboratory for determination of 12 ginsenosides in red ginseng powder and extract. In addition, this method was found to be suitable for quality control of ginseng products and potentially offer time and cost benefits.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the nursing behavior and delegation status of nursing hospital nurses and to provide basic data for improving the quality of medical services. The subjects of this study were data collected from July 26 to December 23, 2013, for 140 nurses with more than 3 years of experience in nursing hospitals. Collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test and One way ANOVA of SPSS 20.0 statistical program. Collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test and one way ANOVA of SPSS 20.0 statistical program.. As a result of this study, the case of delegation of nursing behavior was higher in case of no protocol of nursing delegation procedure than in case of having protocol. This study suggests that nursing practice of nursing hospital nurses can be a major factor in declining the quality of medical services in the absence of specified standards or procedures for delegation. Procedures, methods and guidelines are required.

  • Six Sigma is a philosophy and systematic methodology for quality improvement. It encourages continuous quality improvement efforts to achieve the ideal goal of 6σ. Sigma(σ) is a statistic representing the standard deviation of the normal distribution, and 6σ level means a level where the tolerance of the specification is six times the standard deviation of the process distribution. In terms of the defective rate, the 6σ level achieves the 0.002 defectives per one million units. However, in the field, the 6σ level is used in the sense of achieving 3.4 defects per one million opportunities, which shows a large gap from the 6σ level in the statistical viewpoint. This is because field practitioners accept a 1.5σ shift of the mean of process when calculating the defective rate under sigma level. It said that the acceptance of 1.5σ shift of the mean is from experience, but there is no research or theoretical explanation to support it logically. Although it is a non-scientific explanation based on experience, considering that there has been no objection to the 1.5σ shift for a long time and it is rather accepted, it is judged that there is a reasonable basis for the 1.5σ shift. Therefore, this study tries to find a reasonable explanation through detective power of control chart via the run-rules to the 1.5σ shift empirically recognized by practitioners.

  • Taguchi parameter design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic value in products and processes. Taguchi has used SN (Signal to Noise) ratio to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. This paper describes the prediction technique of vehicle performance using parameter analysis to reduce man hour and test development period as well as to achieve stable NVH performance. Design engineer could efficiently decide the design variable using parameter analysis database in early design stage. These improvements can reduce the time needed to develop better vehicles.

  • Because Self-Adhesive Waterproofing sheet has good constructability, it has been widely used. Also Self-Adhesive Waterproofing sheet is researched based on variety of materials and various of forms. However, producers have recognized about only pass KS quality standard. So, Self-Adhesive waterproofing sheet has been limited about improvement of performance. Therefore, in this research, proposed guideline of Self-Adhesive Waterproofing sheet for disinterested performance grade using probability theory and quality management theory.

  • A selected subject and a standardized scoring system were newly enforced at college entrance examination from 1999. A selected subject system means each student can select one subject in addition to common subject in the field of mathematical research II and a standardized scoring system means we standardize the score of each field as mean 50 and standard deviation 10 in order to adjust the degree of difficulty between fields. In the field of mathematical research II, there may exist not only difference of the degree of difficulty but also that of general studying ability between groups of selected subjects. So when we standardize score, we have to consider them. So far a linear equating which is a parametric method and an equi-percentile equating which is a nonparametric method have been published, but both of them supposed that the general studying ability between groups was equal. So in this paper an adjusted linear and percentile equating method which seems to be adequate to our entrance examination is suggested and is investigated by computer simulation.

  • This study compares the performance of neural networks and ordinary least squares regression with quality-control processes. We examine the applicability of neural networks because they do not require any assumptions regarding either the functional from of the underlying process or the distribution of errors. The coefficient of determination($R^2$), mean absolute deviation(MAD), and the mean squared error(MSE) metrics indicate that neural networks are a viable and can be a superior technique. We also demonstrate that an assessment of the magnitude of the neural notwork input layer cumulative weights can be used to determine the relative importance of predictor variables.
