For improving the quality of survey dat a of sensitive character, we suggest a conditional in direct survey method. In th at method, only the respondents who answer directly to the less sensitive question respond indirectly to the more sensitive one by using the one sample unrelated question randomized response technique with the known $\pi_y$, the true proportion of unrelated group Y. We extend it to two sample method when $\pi_y$ is unknown. We also consider the case that people who possess less sensitive character answer untruthfully. Finally we compare our method with the methods of Greenberg et al. and Carr et al..

We suggest a stratified conditional unrelated question randomized response model to more efficiently estimate a sensitive character A when the population is composed of several strata. In that model, only the respondents who answered "yes" through randomization device which was consisted of a less sensitive character B and a question forcing to answer "yes" respond to our suggested model and we deal with two allocation problems of proportional allocation and optimal one. We expand the suggested model into two sample stratified conditional unrelated question model to cover the case of unknowing unrelated character and deduce minimal variance through optimal sample size of stratum h. Finally, we show that the suggested model is more efficiency than stratified unrelated models and the stratified Carr et al.'s model (1982) under some given conditions, and show numerically that the smaller the values ${\pi}_{h2}$ and ${\pi}_{hy}$, the more efficiency the fit of the model.

The rheological properties of polar solutions are very sensitive to preparative methods as well as measuring conditions. The effects of dissolution temperature on the rheological properties of the solutions of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in dimethyl sulfoxide were investigated over the range of dissolution temperatures $70-130^{\circ}C$. Viscosity was increased as dissolution temperature was increased. PVA solutions prepared at 120 and $130^{\circ}C$ showed Bingham behavior, which became less noticeable with decreasing dissolution temperature. The modified Cole-Cole plot of the solutions gave slope less than 2, suggesting the solutions were a heterogeneous system irrespective of optical transparency. Further, the slope was decreased with increasing dissolution temperature, indicating that the solid character got more prominent as dissolution temperature was increased. However, the relaxation time of the solutions was little dependent on dissolution temperature.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the fashion shop display on the clothing purchase made by the sample of 369 adult women living in Seoul area. In this study, the interest and the effect of the display are investigated through such factors of demographic variables as each individual's age, educational career, vocation, average family income a month, and marriage status. And the relationship is also examined between the person's interest paid on the display and the clothing attitude related variables of fashion follow tendency, individuality, and the way of practical economy. An additional examinations are performed in the first reactive factor to be considered at the time of the clothing purchase, and the interrelation between the discontent after purchase and the effect of display before purchase. The major findings of this research, thus, can be summarized as following: 1. Demographic variables of women reflect differences in their interests toward display and accordingly the variety of the display effect as well. Less interest and effect are caused by the effort of display for the women in their senior age. However, a group of the character women and young college women pay relatively more attention to the display and give more effect to the purchase. The examination shows alsp that the unmarried and better-off and better-educated are more sensitive to the effect of the display. 2. The higher is the individuality and the fashion follow tendency, the stronger revealed the interest in the display, while the economic women have less interest in it. 3. The first factor considered at the time of purchase is not absolutely affected significantly by the degree of the display effect in real purchasing act. 4. The discontent after purchase is not related with how much the degree of display effects in the act of real purchase.

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) is a perennial herb widely distributed in the mountainous area of Paraguay. It belongs to the family Compositae and contains 6 to 12 percent stevioside in the leaves. Stevioside is a glucoside having similar sweetening character to surgar and the degree of sweetness is approximately 300 times of sugar. Since Korea does not produce any sugar crops, and the synthetic sweetenings are potentially hazardous for health, it is rather urgent to develop an economical new sweetener. Consequently, the current experiments are conducted to establish cultural practices of stevia, a new sweetening herbs, introduced into Korea in 1973 and the results are summarized as followings: 1. Days from transplanting of cuttings to the flower bud formation of 6 stevia lines were similar among daylengths of 8, 10 and 12 hours, but it was much greater at daylengths of 14 or 24 hour and varietal differences were noticable. All lines were photosensitive, but a line, 77013, was the most sensitive and 77067 and Suweon 2 were less sensitive to daylength. 2. Critical daylength of all lines seemed to be approximately 12 hours. Growth of plants was severely retarded at daylengths less than 12 hours. 3. Cutting were responded to short daylength before rooting. Number of days from transplanting to flower bud formation of 40-day old cuttings in the nursery bed was 20 days and it was delayed as duration of nursery were shorter. 4. Number of days from emergence to flower bud formation was shortest at short day treatment from 20 days after emergence. It was became longer as initiation of short day treatment was earlier or later than 20 days. 5. Plant height, number of branches, and top dry weight of stevia were reduced as cutting date was delayed from March 20 to May 20. The highest yield of dry leaf was obtained at nursery duration of 40-50 days in march 20 cutting, 30-40 days in April 20 cutting, and 30 days in May 20 cutting. 6. An asymptotic relationship was observed between plant population and leaf dry weight. Yield of dry leaf increased rapidly as plant population increased from 5,000 to 10,000 plants/10a with a reduced increasing rate from 10,000 to 20,000 plants/l0a, and levelled off at the plant population higher than 20,000 plants/l0a. 7. Stevia was adaptable in Suweon, Chengju, Mokpo and Jeju and drought was one of the main factors reducing yield of dry leaf. Yield of dry leaf was reduced significantly (approximately 30%) at June 20 transplanting compared to optimum transplanting. 8. Yield of dry leaf was higher in a vinyl house compared to unprotected control at long daylength or natural daylength except at short day treatment at March 20. Higher temperature ill a vinyl house does not have benefital effects at April 20 transplanting. 9. The highest content of stevioside was noted at the upper leaves of the plant but the lowest was measured at the plant parts of 20cm above ground. Leaf dry weight and stevioside yield was mainly contributed by the plant parts of 60 to 120cm above ground but the varietal differences were also significant. 10. Delayed harvest by the time of flower bud formation increased leaf dry weight remarkably. However, there were insignificant changes of yield as harvests were made at any time after flower bud formation. Content of stevioside was highest at the time of flower bud formation and earlier or later harvest than this time was low in its content. The optimum harvesting time determined by leaf dry weight and stevioside content was the periods from flower bud formation to right before flowering that would be the period from September 10 to September 15 in Suweon area. 11. Stevioside and rebaudioside content in the leaves of Stevia varieties were ranged from 5.4% to 14.3% and 1.5% to 8.3% respectively. However, no definit relationships between stevioside and rebaudioside were observed in these particular experiments.
