Duck eggs from Indigenous (desi), Khaki Campbell and Crossbred (Indian Runner $\times$ Khaki Campbell, $F_1$) were incubated to investigate fertility, hatchability and other related traits. The fertility was highest in crossbred followed by Khaki Campbell and Indigenous ducks respectively. The embryonic mortality was highest in Khaki Campbell followed by Indigenous and crossbred respectively. The embryonic mortality was higher in eggs of 7 days pre-incubation holding period and lower in eggs of 3 days pre-incubation holding period. A significant positive correlation was found between temperature and embryonic mortality as well as relative humidity and embryonic mortality. The hatchability on fertile eggs was highest in crossbred ducks and almost similar in both Khaki Campbell and Indigenous ducks. The hatchability was higher in eggs stored for 3 days in comparison with that of 7 days pre-incubation holding period. A negative correlation was found between temperature and hatchability as well as humidity and hatchability. The normal ducklings hatched out from the eggs of Khaki Campbell ducks was highest followed by Indigenous and crossbred respectively. There was a negative correlation between temperature and normal ducklings hatched as well as relative humidity and normal ducklings hatched. The preincubation holding temperature and relative humidity had positive correlation with dead-in-shell.

In order to investigate the relationship between plasma renin activity and metabolism of Ca and Na in blood pressure, the habitual dietary intakes of Na and Ca urinary excretion of Ca, Na and K, and plasma level of renin activity, aldosterone, and indices of Ca metabolism were measured in 27 untreated hypertensive women and 30 age-matched normal women on a free diet. Hypertensive subjects were classified into high renin hypertensive (HH), medium renin hypertensive(HM) and low renin showed no significant difference among normotensive, LH, MH and HM groups. It appeared that 25-(OH) Vit D3 level of HH group was significantly higher than LH group(p<0.05). There was significant difference in habitual intake of Ca between normotensive and LH groups. However, habitual intake of Na showed no significant difference among normotensive, LH, MH and HH group. Positive correlation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure with PTH(r=0.324, r=0.375) and urinary Ca(r=0.496, r=0.278) and a negative correlation of systolic blood pressure with habitual Ca intake(r=-0.371) existed(p<0.05). A relative magnitude of factors affecting hypertension was analyzed by multiple regression analysis. Overall results about relative influence of independent variables to dependent variable (systolic blood pressure) indicated that urinary Ca was the higher correlation in all subjects(p<0.0001), followed by age and aldosterone. PTH showed a significant correlation for relative influence on diastolic blood pressure in all subjects. The above results indicated that renin-aldosterone system and Ca regulating hormone had a mutual relationship in hypertension.

Using 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), we quantitatively evaluated correlation representing linear relationship between the metabolite peak area ratios associated with poor shimming conditions. The inadequate shimming due to linear shim offsets directly affected overall MR spectral quality as well as peak area for each metabolite. Three major peaks such as N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr,) choline (Cho) were used as a reference for data analysis. Despite considerable variations of metabolite peak area, a significant correlation between the metabolite peak area ratios relative to Cr was established while the correlation between the peak area ratios relative to Cho and NAA was not. The present study suggested that metabolite peak area ratios based on the metabolite of Cr could be an acceptable quantification method even under the poor shimming in clinical MRS examination.

Background: The evaluation of individual renal function is important to diagnosis and follow-up of various diseases. Ureteral catheterization of each kidney has been widely used for this purpose, but this method had some technical difficulty, frequent complications and much restriction in reapplication. Therefore we tried to applicate radiopharmaceuticals for the evaluation of individual renal function. Methods: We measured 2 hour, 4 hour and 24 hour relative renal uptake of $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ and relative glomerular filteration rate of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ with 59 patients with various renal diseases to determine their usefulness for assessment of individual renal function and to compare correlations between every renal uptake of $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ and relative glomerular filteration rate. Results: The correlations between 2 hour-, 4 hour- and 24 hour- relative renal uptake of $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ and relative glomerular filteration rate of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ were R=0.9190 (p < 0.001), R: 0.9229 (p<0.001) and R=0.9917 (p<0.001). In acute obstructive uropathy, the correlations at 2 hour and 4 houre were poor as R=0.1812 (p<0.05) and R=0.4923 (p < 0.05), but the correlation at 24 hour was good as R=0.9942 (p<0.001). Conclusions: We concluded that relative renal uptake at 2 hour and 4 hour had good correlation with relative DTPA uptake ratio in the cases without chronic renal failure and obstructive uropathy. Delayed image with 24 hour relative renal uptake $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ had the best correlation with relative glomerular filteration rate of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ and that might be useful in evaluation of chronic renal disease in which showed increased beckground activity or acute obstructive uropathy.

Agricultural environmental policies to reduce negative externalities and expand positive externalities became common around the world. However, literature regarding the efficient and effective implementation of agricultural environmental policies, such as optional direct payment, is limited. This study, thus, analyzes the relative importance for target selecting-criteria in order to enhance the cost-effectiveness of the Agricultural Environment Conservation Program in Korea. In this context, we conducted survey to 15 experts who are related in agricultural environment policies and analyzed survey results based on ANP method which can consider correlation between selecting criteria. The results show that, in the case field, "soil", "water", and "ecology" field have relative high importance than the other fields. Also, the relative importance for 'improving rural landscape', 'giving nutrient input moderately', and 'conserving agricultural heritage' activities is higher than the other activities. Furthermore, the relative importance among fields and activities of ANP is different from those of AHP. This result implies that it is necessary to consider the correlation between selecting criteria in order to design effectively. Finally, we suggest that in order to enhance the effectiveness of the program, it would be appropriate to assign differential points according to the importance of each activity when identifying appropriate farms.

In this paper, scale efficiencies and relative efficiencies of R&D projects in Industrial Technology Program, sponsored by Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea, are calculated and compared. For the process, various DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) models are adopted as major techniques. For DEA, two stage input oriented models are utilized for calculating the efficiencies. Next, the calculated efficiencies are grouped according to their subprograms (Industrial Material, IT Fusion, Nano Fusion, Energy Resources, and Resources Technology) and recipient types (Public Enterprise, Large Enterprise, Medium Enterprise, Small Enterprise, Lab., Univ., and etc.) respectively. Then various subprograms and recipient types are compared in terms of scale efficiencies (CCR models) and relative efficiencies (BCC models). In addition, the correlation between the 1st stage relative efficiencies and the 2nd stage relative efficiencies is calculated, from which the causal relationship between them can be inferred. Statistical analysis shows that the amount of input, in general, should increase in order to be scale efficient (CCR models) regardless of the subprograms and recipient types, that the 1st and 2nd stage relative efficiencies are different in terms of the programs and recipient types (BCC models), and that there is no significant correlation between the 1st stage relative efficiencies and the 2nd stage relative efficiencies. However, the results should be used only as reference because the goal each and every subprogram has is different and the situation each and every recipient type faces is different. In addition, the causal link between the 1st stage relative efficiencies and the 2nd relative efficiencies is not considered, which, in turn, is the limitation of this paper.

실내공간에서 인간의 쾌적감 및 불쾌적감 등의 감성을 측정하기 위하여 뇌파(EEG)측정을 많이 사용하고 있으나, 뇌파(EEG)측정은 접촉식으로써 실험에 제한적이다. 그러나 진동이미지기술은 웹캠 카메라를 이용하여 인간의 감성을 측정할 수 있는 비접촉식 방법으로써 실내공간에 적용하기에 적합하다고 판단된다. 따라서 인간의 감성을 측정할 수 있는 접촉식인 뇌파(EEG)와 비접촉식인 진동이미지기술의 상관변수를 도출하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 소리크기 60[dB] 및 90[dB]과 로즈마리 및 쟈스민 향기에 대한 피험자의 뇌파(EEG)와 진동이미지기술의 상관분석을 하였다. 피험자는 건강상태를 점검하여 대학생 남자 3명으로 선별하여 10회 반복 실험하였고, 실험기간은 약 한 달간 진행되었으며, 측정실의 조건은 온도 25[$^{\circ}C$], 상대습도 50[%], 조도 1.000[lux] 및 기류속도 0.02[m/sec]로 하였다. 뇌파(EEG) 23가지 지표(절대${\theta}$, 상대${\theta}$, 절대$S{\alpha}$, 상대$S{\alpha}$, 절대${\alpha}$, 상대${\alpha}$, 절대${\beta}$, 상대${\beta}$, 절대$\gamma$, 상대$\gamma$, 절대$F{\alpha}$, 상대$F{\alpha}$, 절대SMR, 상대SMR, $SMR/{\theta}$, $SMR+M{\beta}/{\theta}$, 절대$H{\beta}$, 상대$H{\beta}$, $H{\beta}/{\alpha}$, 절대$M{\beta}$, 상대$M{\beta}$, SEF50, ASEF50)와 진동이미지기술 10가지 지표(긴장/불안, 억제, 신경과민증, 밸런스, 매력, 자신감, 의심, 스트레스, 공격성, 에너지)를 상관 분석한 결과 뇌파(EEG)의 상대${\gamma}$파와 진동이미지기술의 신경과민증 지표가 (${\pm}$).414와 (${\pm}$).424로 높은 정적상관관계로 분석되었다.

일반적으로 잡음 측정결과는 회로망분석기의 측정결과에 비해 상당히 큰 불규칙 리플을 보인다. 이에 대한 주 원인은 회로망분석기는 측정 시에 상대적인 전력의 비를 이용하고, 잡음 측정은 절대적인 잡음전력 측정에 의존하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 잡음측정의 불규칙 리플을 최소화하기 위해서 상대적인 잡음비를 이용한 새로운 잡음상관행렬 측정방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 5개의 입력에 대해 측정된 잡음전력들 중 하나를 기준으로 4개의 상대적인 잡음비를 통해 불규칙 리플을 최소화하고, 이를 이용하여 잡음상관행렬 및 잡음 파라미터를 측정하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법을 이용한 잡음파라미터 측정결과, 수동 DUT인 0.5 dB 감쇠기의 경우, S-파라미터를 이용하여 계산되어진 잡음 파라미터의 이론값과 거의 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 그리고 1 dB 이하의 잡음지수를 갖는 능동 DUT에 대해서도 신뢰할 수 있는 잡음파라미터 측정이 가능함을 보였다.

Purpose: This study examined whether there are seasonal variations in the number of plantar fasciitis cases from the database of the Korean Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service and an internet search of the volume data related to plantar fasciitis and whether there are correlations between variations. Materials and Methods: The number of plantar fasciitis cases per month was acquired from the Korean Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service from January 2016 to December 2019. The monthly internet relative search volumes for the keywords "plantar fasciitis" and "heel pain" were collected during the same period from DataLab, an internet search query trend service provided by the Korean portal website, Naver. Cosinor analysis was performed to confirm the seasonality of the monthly number of cases and relative search volumes, and Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to assess the correlation between them. Results: The number of cases with plantar fasciitis and the relative search volume for the keywords "plantar fasciitis" and "heel pain" all showed significant seasonality (p<0.001), with the highest in the summer and the lowest in the winter. The number of cases with plantar fasciitis was correlated significantly with the relative search volumes of the keywords "plantar fasciitis" (r=0.632; p<0.001) and "heel pain" (r=0.791; p<0.001), respectively. Conclusion: Both the number of cases with plantar fasciitis and the internet search data for related keywords showed seasonality, which was the highest in summer. The number of cases showed a significant correlation with the internet search data for the seasonality of plantar fasciitis. Internet big data could be a complementary resource for researching and monitoring plantar fasciitis.

673 third-year students of boy's and girl's high schools in Taegu city and Kuni-gun and Youngyang-gun and Euisung-gun in Kyongbuk province were selected and investigated as the subject, of this study on the correlation between Lee Jae Ma's Four Types of Essential Physical Constitution and Physical Form index. The result of the study was found as follows. First, as for Height, the findings were not identical with the expression that "person of shaoyin(minor Yin) Type are short and small -- while person of Taiyin (major Yin) Type are tall and big," cited in classification of four different constitutions in a document named "Dong-Eu-Su-Se-Bo-Won". Comparison of persons of Shaoyang (minor Yang) - Type proved infitness due to the lack of data on Height in documents concerning Lee Jae Ma's four types of essential physical constitution. Second, as for Sitting Height, the correlation was prored between the findings of this study and the expression in the above document describing external physical characteristics of shaoyin-Type persons that "The upper part and' the lower part of the body are well balanced", but in point of Relative Sitting Height, none between the two. Third, as for Chest-Girth and Relative Chest-Girth plus Weight and Relative Weight, the expression that "Persons of Taiyin(major Yin) Type have the largest physique of the lour types of persons in the characteristics of external physical features, and that they also tend to have continental(widechest or large-scaled) character and strong nerve, that they are stoutly-built and fal." proved to have the correlation with the findings of this study. Fourth, in point of Chest-Girth and Relative Chest-Girth, this study found that its findings have the correlation with the phrase that "Chests are well developed upwar -- and sturdy and solid." in describing the characteristics of Shaoyang (minor Yang)-Type person' external physical features, and that with the phrase that "Chests are narrow" in the case of Shaoyin(minor Yin)-Type persons. Fifth, as for Weight and Relative Weight, the correlation was found between the findings and the expression that "shaoyin-Type persons have comparatively less flesh" as a sign of external physical characteristics of Shaoyin-Type persons. The above-cited findings proved that there exist some correlations between external physique of the Lee Jae Ma's four types of essential constitution and physical Form Indexes. Actually, however, in clinical classification, it is desirable that this approach should be consulted only after carefull consideration based on Lee Jae Ma's theory, and it seems imperative to continue the study of objectivization of Lee's theory.
