When an electronic control system has been used for long time, the electronic control system becomes obsolete and no longer In production. In this case, the existing control system should replace by new system due to shortage of spare modules. However, if the proper number of spare modules are stocked, it may be possible and more economical than to replace by new system to extend the usage period of the existing control system. In this case, it is an important problem to determine the proper number of spare modules. In this paper, a method to determine the proper number of spare modules is presented with an application example.

Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is defined as middle ear effusion without acute signs of infection. OME usually resolves spontaneously; however, persistent OME may require the insertion of a ventilation tube. This study investigated risk factors for persistent OME in children who undergo ventilation tube insertion. Methods: Children who were admitted to undergo ventilation tube insertion at Jeju National University Hospital between August 2015 and July 2016 were enrolled as the case group. Healthy children without persistent OME from August 2016 to July 2017 were enrolled as the control group. Baseline characteristics and predisposing factor data were collected using an interview questionnaire. Middle ear fluids were collected from the case group. Results: A total of 31 patients underwent ventilation tube insertion. The mean age of the case group was 4.53 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 21:10. Twenty-nine (93.5%) children attended a daycare center, and 21 (67.7%) had experience with bottle feeding. Fifteen (48.4%) children in the case group and 3 (9.7%) in the control group first attended a daycare center at <1 year of age (odds ratio=9.96; 95% confidence interval=2.44-39.70; p=0.001). No bacteria were found in middle ear fluid collected from the 31 operated children. Nasopharyngeal bacterial colonization was found in 13 (41.9%) and 17 (54.8%) children in the case and control groups, respectively. Conclusion: Earlier attendance at a daycare center was the only predisposing factor for ventilation tube insertion in our study. The aseptic nature of middle ear fluids found in children with OME highlights the efficacy of antimicrobial use.

As stomach cancer is very prevalent in Koreans, various factors, especially dietary factors, related to stomach cancer incidence were examined in a case-control study. The study population consisted of 105 individual s diagnosed for stomach cancer in two general hospitals and 124 control subjects, matched for age and sex, in Seoul. Data for general characteristics, family history, smoking and alcohol consumption, personality , dietary habits and food preference were obtained by self-administered questionnaire and personal interview. Heredity was found to be one of the most important factors causing stomach cancer. In addition, genetic inheritance tended to differ between the sexes. The male patients showed significantly higher incidence of their father's relatives than mother's relatives but the female patients showed higher incidence of their mother's relatives that father's relatives. Smoking was significantly related to stomach cancer. It was also found that the cases drank alcohol more frequently and in much greater quantity than the controls. Personality was related to the incidence of stomach cancer. The cases tended to be more sensitive , impatient, and anxious to do things quickly. With regards to dietary habits, the male cases had meals significantly more irregularly than the male controls. The relative risk of preferencefor salty food and ramen showed to be significantly very high. The male cases consumed carbonated beverages and instant foods, low intake of green yellow vegetables, smoking of cigarettes and drinking of alcohol may contribute to the risk of stomach cancer.

The measurement of information security levels is a very important but difficult task. So far, various measurement methods have studied the development of new indices. Note, however, that researches have focused on the problem of attaining a certain level but largely neglecting research focused on the issue of how different types of possible flaws in security controls affect each other and which flaws are more critical because of these effects. Furthermore, applying the same weight across the board to these flaws has made it difficult to identify the relative importance. In this paper, the interrelationships among security flaws that occurred in the security controls of K-ISMS were analyzed, and the relative impact of each security control was measured. Additionally, a case-control study was applied using empirical data to eliminate subjective bias as a shortcoming of expert surveys and comparative studies. The security controls were divided into 2 groups depending on whether or not a security flaw occurs. The experimental results show the impact relationship and the severity among security flaws. We expect these results to be applied as good reference indices when making decisions on the removal of security flaws in an enterprise.

This study was carried out to investigate the properties of Kimchi made with potato as compared to Kimchi made with radish. The pH, acidity, hardness, and number of lactic acid bacteria were examined as properties of the Kimchi to determine the suitability of adding the potato and with focus on the possible duration of storage. First in the case of pH, the storage duration at pH $4.2{\sim}4.3$, which is the state for optimal tasting Kimchi, was approximately 10days in the control group, while that of the experimental group was 10 to 16 days, and thus, longer than the control. Second in the case of acidity, representing the maturity of Kimchi, we examined the time it took to reach 0.6% acidity, in which the experimental group took more longer time than the control. Although the experimental group was slower to mature than the control, the period for keeping at the proper pH was longer than that of the control group. Thirdly, in the case of hardness, which relates to softening, the experimental group had remarkably high values. This suggests that the Kimchi in the experimental group had a more rigid texture and more difficultly softening than the control group. Lastly in the case of the number of lactic acid bacteria, which closely relates to the process of fermentation, there were no significant differences. In conclusion, these results indicate that adding potato to Kimchi can extend its storage period.

This Experiment was conducted to investigate the hemostatic effects of Guipitang and Guipitangjiaweifang. For this purpose, the effects of the crude extracts on the platelet count. prothrombin time, fibrinogen level and partial prothromboplastin time were estimated. The rats were divided into normal group, control group and experimental group. Control group was administrated normal saline and experimental group was divided into Sample 1 (Guipitang) and Sample 2 (Guipitangjiaweifang). The results obtained were as follows : 1. The platelet count was significantly increased in both of two samples as compared with the control group. 2. The prothrombin time was significantly shortened in case of Sample 2. however there were no significant changes in case of Sample 1 as compared with the control group. 3. The fibrinogen level was significantly increased in case of Sample 1. however there were no meaningful changes in case of Sample 2 as compared with the control group. 4. The partial prothromboplastin time was significantly shortened in both of two samples as compared with the control group. According to above results. it is supposed that Guipitang and Guipitangjiaweifang have the hemostatic effects in experimental animals.

The objectives of this study were to understand the characteristics of residents in industrial areas and factors affecting exposure to the Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs : Benzene, Toluene, Xylene) as well as to assess exposure levels according to house-type, and whether residents were indoors or outdoors. This research was designed to assess the differences in exposure levels to indoor, outdoor and personal VOCs in a case group and a control group across all areas, as well as in each different area, from May to October 2007, in. 110 residents of the G, Y and H industrial areas of the Jun-nam province. The geometric mea-levels of airborne benzene for the case group 1.31part per billion(ppb) indoor, 1.29 ppb outdoor, and 1.32 ppb for personal exposure were significantly higher than for the control group 0.99, 0.87 and 0.57 ppb, respectively. The geometric mean level for toluene personal exposure across the G, Y and H areas was 5.70 ppb for the case group and 6.31 ppb for the control group. While the outdoor level was 4.27 ppb for the case group and 5.06 ppb for the control group, The indoor level for the case group was 4.78 ppb, similar to that of the control group 4.69 ppb. The geometric mean levels for airborne xylene across the G, Y and H areas were 0.16 ppb(outdoor), 0.12 ppb(personal exposure) and 0.10 ppb(indoor) for the case group, and for the control group were 0.17(personal exposure) and 0.09 ppb(indoor and outdoor). The indoor/outdoor(I/O) ratio for case group is 1.19, while that of the control group is 1.15, indicating that the indoor level was higher than the outdoor level. The interrelationship differences among the three different types of levels in the air in the G, Y and H areas are statistically significant, except for the difference between the indoor and outdoor figures for xylene. In terms of the different types of houses and energy type uesd, the geometric mean level for airborne benzene, toluene and xylene for houses were 1.61, 5.39 and 0.12 ppb, respectively. while the figures for flats were 0.67, 3.32 and 0.05 ppb, respectively. Outdoors, the levels of benzene and toluene in flats were 0.71 and 2.62 ppb, respectively. and 1.58 and 5.35 ppb in houses. For personal exposure, the house levels of benzene, toluene and xylene were all higher than for flats. Houses using oil for heating have significantly higher levels than flats, which use gas for heating.
