Isolated fourth ventricle[IFV] is a rare entity producing symptoms of a progressive posterior fossa mass lesion. It is mainly reported in a patient who undergo shunt placement as its late complication. However, its surgical management has been difficult and its optional treatment remains controversial. We had an occasion to admit 19-year-old female to our hospital due to hydrocephalus : she had a history of meningitis when she was 2 years old. Ten years later she was diagnosed as hydrocephalus and managed by lateral ventriculo-peritoneal shunting procedure. Seven years after the procedure, the patient presented with headache, nausea, truncal ataxia and nystagmus. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance image scan demonstrated markedly enlarged fourth ventricle : and thus, neuroendoscopic aqueductoplasty and aqueductal stent insertion was performed. The authors present a case of an IFV after lateral ventriculo-peritoneal shunting for hydrocephalus, which was treated successfully with a neuroendoscopic surgery. The technique of this procedure is described below.

The objective of this paper is to present a method for designing robust positioning control systems of a flexible arm using $H_2/H_{\infty}$ and $\mu$ theory. We begin with a description of the flexible arm based on the model identification method and discuss the derivation of the model uncertainty. The validity of the obtained model is confirmed experimentally Next, a robust controller is designed based on the $H_2/H_{\infty}$ and $\mu$ theory by which we can improve robustness of the entire system. On this occasion, we also propose a general plant formation suitable to $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed design method is verified through experimentation.

Congratulations to the Korean Society of Breeding Science on the occasion of the $40^{th}$ anniversary. Such scientific societies serve an important role in disseminating scientific information, encouraging world class research, and integrating related disciplines. Plant breeding is a solution-driven science to meet ever-increasing needs with the ultimate application in mind throughout the process. Plant breeding will continue to involve both the lab and field even as more molecular technologies are applied to the improvement of plants and animals. Today and into the future, genetics and genomics will play major roles. This keynote talk first presents plant breeding in the context of the need to meet future food supplies, then reviews some of the emerging and important technologies, documents some of the traits improved through the new technologies, and finally adds some philosophical points with special emphasis on the younger scientist.

Purpose: The prevalence of binge drinking has increased among Korean adolescents in recent years. The purpose of this study was to determine the influencing factors of adolescent binge drinking. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data from the 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey. For the present analysis, 5,203 binge drinkers (girls who drank 3 or more glasses of soju and boys who drank 5 or more in average on one occasion in the last 30 days) and 4,464 non-binge drinkers were selected. Results: Compared with the adolescents who had no experience buying alcoholic beverages, the adolescents who responded that it was easy or uneasy to buy alcoholic drinks were more likely to be a binge drinker. Also, compared with never smokers, ex-smokers and current smokers were more likely to be a binge drinker. Binge drinking was positively associated with skipping breakfast, subjective health, and feelings of sadness or hopeless. Conclusion: The findings of this study may be useful in developing binge drinking prevention programs for adolescents.

Mancozeb is a protective fungicide on plants and a polymeric complex of ethylene bisdithiocarbamate manganese with zinc salt. It is reported to induce teratogenic and carcinogenic effect in laboratory animals. But the immunomodulating effects of Mancozeb exposure have not been systemically evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Mancozeb on cell-mediated immunity in mice. For ex vivo assessment, mice were orally exposed to Mancozeb dissolved in distilled water as concentrations of 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 mg/kg for single occasion (acute exposure) or 250, 1,000, 1,500 mg/kg/day 5 days a week for 30days(subacute).

During the laser welding, weldments are suddenly heated and cooled by laser beam of high density energy. This phenomenon gives an occasion to complex welding residual stresses, which have a great influence on structural instability, in laser welds. However, relevant researches on this field are not sufficient until now and residual stress measurements have experimental and practical limitations. From these reasons, a numerical simulation may be attractive in order to solve the residual stress problem. For clarifying the distribution of heat and welding residual stresses in laser welds with the nail-head shape, authors conduct the finite element analysis (two-dimensional unstationary heat conduction & thermal elastic and plastic analysis). From the results, we can confirm the stress concentration occurs at the place of melting line shape changed in laser welds with the nail-head shape.

The purpose of this study is to develop a theoretical model identifying how consumers accept a fashionable technology product. A systematic review of 39 influential TAM studies focusing on theory development in the context of information technology results in three tendencies, which become backbone of the model of fashionable technology acceptance. A subsequent review of the nature of fashion fleshes out the backbone with detailed propositions in the more specific context of fashionable technology. The model of fashionable technology acceptance includes key propositions of Theory of Reasoned Action, in which internal beliefs consist of functional, aesthetic and symbolic values, and other factors, such as technology features (i.e., hardware specification, software specification, brand, and price factors), environmental conditions (i.e., technical infrastructure and user occasion), individual differences (i.e., age, gender, experience, personality, aesthetic sense, fashion innovativeness, and income), and social influence (i.e., subjective norms, social reputation, and cultural difference). Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

This study was carried out to clarify the effect of dietary calcium, casein and suet on intestinal absorption of cadmium in mice. It was performed for 30 days, from April 11, to May 10, 1988. Ninety mice were devided into 4 experimental groups and control group with 6 mice each dietary group, and measured survival ratio, body weight and weight ratio of organ to body. The contents of cadmium in liver, kidney, spleen, muscle and skin with hair, and feces were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer after sacrifice by anesthesia. The ratio of survival after 30 day breeding was $100\%$ in control group, but $66.7\%$ in group IV(basal diet + Cd + Ca) with $100{\mu}g$ one dose and with 50ppm cadmium containing fluid free-intake, and group V (basal diet + Cd + suet) with free-intake of 50ppm containing cadmium fluid. The ratio of body weight gains in cases of single dose $100{\mu}g$ of cadmium was highest as $42.3\%$ in group IV and lowest as $26.0\%$ in group V, in cases of free-intake of 50ppm containing cadmium fluid was highest as $24.0\%$ in group IV and lowest as $11.6\%$ in group II (basal diet + Cd). The body weight, in the case of single dose of $100{\mu}g$ of cadmium showed no increase untill 5th day from acute poisoning. While in case of free-intake of 50ppm containing cadmium, it showed very slight increase through all breeding period. The weight ratio of organ to body were lowest in liver of group II in both occasions. The most of cadmium administered was excreated in feces within 2 days after single dose $100{\mu}g$ cadmium. The contents of cadmium in all tissues were significantly high in each group comparing to control group as liver, kidney, spleen and muscle of group II which showed the highest level in both occasions of $100{\mu}g$ one dose and free-intake of 50ppm containing cadmium fluid, and higher in group II of the occasion with $100{\mu}g$ single dose, and in group V of the occasion of 50ppm containing cadmium fluid free-inatke for skin with hair. And the content of cadmium in tissues is generally higher in the occasion of 50ppm containing cadmium free-intake than $100{\mu}g$ single dose. From the above results I conclude that the addition of casein, calcium and suet in cadmium containing diet is effective to inhibtion of intestinal absorption of cadmium by particularly, calcium.

This study was conducted to examine the antagonism of useful microbes against soybean sprout rotting pathogens and their effect on the growth of soybean sprouts. The antagonism against soybean sprout rotting pathogens and the effect on the growth of soybean sprouts were examined by using P. areofacience 14H-3, P. fluorescens R1-12 and B. cereus Yell, bacteria were shown to inhibit mycellial growth of Rhizotonia solani strongly. The results of this study are summarized as follows. P. areofacience 14H-3 and B. cereus Yell were highly antagonistic against Rizoctonia solani, while they were especially highly antagonistic against bacterial diseases. The effect of inhibiting the proliferation of soybean sprout rotting pathogens was also examined by adding the culture solution for antagonistic bacteria to the PDA. Both P. areofacience 14H-3 and P. fluorescens Rl-12 showed the inhibition rate of 78.8%, while B. cereus Yell did 52.9%. The fresh weight and length of soybean sprouts were measured after raising them with added antagonistic microbes and culture medium. Soybean sprouts treated with B. cereus Yell showed increased higher, compared with those not treated with it. Soybean sprouts were also raised in the culture solution with antagonistic bacteria to examine the growth of soybean sprouts. Soybean sprouts treated with the culture solution of 200 times showed better growth than those not treated with it. Analyze proximate composition in soybean sprout showed that moisture, ash, total sugar did not appear difference, but in case of crude protein B. cereus Yell(8.9%) increased about 2 times than control(3.6%), but occasion of crude fat and crude fiber were P. areofacience 14H-3, P. fluorescens Rl-12 increased about each 2 times than control. In occasion of vitamin, bacterial antagonist(9.4∼10.8mg%) was more higher than control(9.9mg%).
