A study on chromosome of leucocytes in blood cultures derived from 6 normal Korean was performed . Exact chromosome counts were carried out on 205 cells in male, 211 in female , of which 86.05% revealed a chormosome mordal number of 46. On the basis of relative chromosome lengths and position of centromeres, the Karyotype that the human chromosomes were classified into 7 groups with 22 airs of autosome and one pair of sex chromosome was determined accoridng to the method of denver report. The chromosome number on metaphase was observed in short term cultures of leucocytes from the peripheral blood of 2 patients with chronic granulocytic leukemia and 1 patient with acute granulocitic leukemia . and the chromosome morpholoogy was also investigated in one acute leukemic patient. In all leukemic cases the leucocytes showed the constant value of 46 in the stem -line of chormosome number. But the frequency of cells with 46 chromosomes appeared in the 3 cases was 67.30% in average with a slightly higher range in hypo-andhyper-diploid chromosome numbers than in normal human, The idiogram analysis did not show any abnormality of chromosome in acute leukemic cells.

This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of ametropias such as myopia and hyperopia from the community based population study. Another purpose of this study was to determine the association between ametropia and nutrient intake. The study subjects was 492 residents over 20 years of age residing in Kuri City. Ametropia was tested based on re(rector error using auto referactor. Nutrient intake was estimated from the dietary survey using 24 hour recall method. As a result of data analysis, the prevalence of myopia was 57% and that of hyperopia was 11%. Such a high rate of ametropia prevalence may suggest the increasing risk of eye health in a Korean society. Nutrient intake of myopia group was 5∼15% higher than that of normal group in most of the nutrients. Whereas intake of most nutrient except calcium, retinal, fiber for the hyperopia group was lower than that of normal group. The result may suggest that inbalance of nutrient intake has been related with ametropia.

Long QT Syndrome (LQT) is a congenital disease due to the failure of electrical system of the heart. We have analyzed KCNE1 gene which is known to be the cause of Type V LQT in Korean genome. Although SNPs of KCNE1 have been reported for Chinese and Malaysians no data are available for Korean people yet. PCR primers were prepared to investigate the sequences for normal and SNP at G30A, G112A, C162T. They were different only by 3' ends. Genomic DNAs were extracted from the people who were known to be normal clinically (35) or patients (20) with metabolic disease. As results, we were able to recognize several SNPs in these Korean samples. Some people were homozygous or heterozygous depending upon the type of SNP. This study should facilitate the research on the cause of Type VLQTs and to develop the further therapy at genetic level.

It is well known that the mathematical models provide very important information for the research of human immunodeciency virus type. However, the infection rate of almost all mathematical models is linear. The linearity shows the simple interaction between the T-cells and the viral particles. In this paper, a differential equation model of HIV infection of $CD4^+$ T-cells with Crowley-Martin function response is studied. We prove that if the basic reproduction number $R_0$ < 1, the HIV infection is cleared from the T-cell population and the disease dies out; if $R_0$ > 1, the HIV infection persists in the host. We find that the chronic disease steady state is globally asymptotically stable if $R_0$ > 1. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.

A laboratory study was performed to evaluate the effects of an aid(i.e. stick) on joint loadings. Six healthy young participants were recruited from Virginia Tech student population. Each participant has performed three normal walking and three stick walking trials. Normalized and integrated, ground reaction forces(GRFs) and joint moments were measured at ankle, knee, and hip joints from kinematic and kinetic data. The result suggests that stick walking significantly reduces vertical ground reaction force and joint moments at ankle and knee compared to normal walking.

The statistics chapter in High School Mathematics I as implemented in The 7th Curriculum is reviewed critically. In views from mathematical integrity or logic, the current contents are not satisfactory in several key issues. Specific instances are the law of large numbers, normal distribution and confidence intervals for population mean. We suggest alternative teaching points to handle such difficulties and propose re-structuring the course syllabus with reduced items.

The problem considered in this paper can be defiened as follows. Consider observations $x_1, x_2, \cdot, x_n$ which are assumed to come from a mixed population of the density function, $$f(x) = \sum^m_{k=1} pkf_k(x)$$ where m is the number of subpoulations and $p_k$ is the proportion of subpopulation k such that $\sum^m_{k=1} pk=1, 0

In the treatment of the sequential beta-protection procedure, we define the reasonable stopping time and investigate that for the stopping time Wijsman's requirements, coverage probability and beta-protection conditions, are satisfied in the estimation for the mean vector ${\mu}$ by the sample from the multivariate normal distributed population with unknown mean vector ${\mu}$ and a positive definite variance-covariance matrix ${\Sigma}$.

Daily exposure to constrained body postures and deviations from neutral postures over a long period may result in discomfort as well as pains and aches in the muscles, joints, tendons, and other soft tissues. Furthermore, it was known that poor body postures are a major cause of musculoskeletal disorders in industry. Therefore, in this study, comfort ranges of joint motions were obtained as a criterion for evaluating body postures and designing workplaces ergonomically, which were bases on subjects' perceived discomfort level estimated by magnitude estimation. Nineteen healthy male subjects participated in the laboratory study. They results showed that comfort ranges of joint motions occurred in the wrist, elbow, neck, and ankle were little less than their normal range of joint motions, but those in the back(L5/S1) and hip joint were much less than their normal ones. This fact implies that the back and jip movements are more stressful than the other joints movements. It is expected that comfort ranges of joint motions can be used as a valuable guideline when designing and evaluating workplaces.

There are many statistical methods of testing the equality of two population variances. Among them, the well-known F test is very sensitive to the normality assumption. Several other tests that do not assume normality have been proposed, but these tests usually need tables of critical values or software for hypotheses testing. McGrath and Yeh (2005) suggested a quick and compact Count Five test requiring only the calculation of the number of extreme points. Since the Count Five test uses only extreme values, this discards some information from the samples, often resulting in a degradation in power. In this paper, an alternative Count Five test using the trimmed mean is proposed and its properties are discussed for some distributions and normal mixtures.
