Multivariate statistical procedures were used to analyse data on the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of four varienties of rice straw after treatment with 4% NaOH solution, 4% urea solution or distilled water (control) for 48 hours. For each treatment, stepwise discriminant analysis identified the variables which maximized differences between varieties and the eigenvectors from principal component analysis quantified the contribution of these criterion variables to varietal differences. The overall response of varieties to chemical treatment was demonstrated qualitatively, by cluster analysis, and quantitatively, from the magnitude of the principal component scores. The analysis revealed that the urea and control treatments elicited the same response whereas NaOH had the greatest effect on the poorest straw variety. Similar analyses conducted on the botanical fractions of the varieties showed that the relative response of the inflorescence, stem, leaf blade and leaf sheath fractions was not altered by chemical treatment.

The purpose of this study was to develop poetrytherapy program and to test it's effect on emotional intelligence of middle school students. Sixty-six(male 33, female 33) middle school students participated in this study. Thirty-three students were assigned to experimental group and control group respectively. The program which is composed of 14 sessions was applied to experimental group for 16 weeks. Subjects completed Emotional Intelligence Test. Collected data were analyzed using t-test and ANCOVA. The results of statistical analyses showed that there were statistically significant differences in emotional intelligence test scores between experimental group and control group. Based upon these results, it is concluded that poetrytherapy program was effective in improving emotional intelligence of middle school students.

This study investigates long and short run responses of variables to exogenous shocks by imposing prior restrictions on a contemporaneous structural shock coefficient matrix of the model to identify shocks by endogenous variables in the vector autoregression. The relative importance of each structural shock in variation of each variable is calculated through the identification of proper restrictions (not based on any specific theory but on researcher judgment corresponding to actual situations) and an estimation of the structural vector autoregression. The results of the analyses are found to maintain consistency.

Determination of the pH value and analyses of the available phosphorus of some soils under the forest and grassland Kwang-nung have been examined to study the relationship between the soil pH and available phophorus. The results might be summarized as follows: 1) The available phosphorus decrease steadily as the pH goes up to 5.2. However, at the pH 5.2∼6.3, it shows an increase and decreases again as the rise above pH 6.3. 2) There is a significant difference in the amounts of the soil phosphate among the areas sampled. 3) The statistical analysis of the data obtained shows that soil phosphate is limiting factor governing the distribution of natural vegetal pattern.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ponding depth treatment on water balance in paddy fields. The ponding depth treatments were very shallow, shallow and deep. Daily values of rainfall amount, ponding depth, irrigation water, drainage water, evapotranspiration, and infiltration were measured in the field. The medium ponded plots saved irrigation water about 16% to 53.4% without any statistical difference in rice growth and yields. Hence, the medium ponded depth treatment is better than the traditional deep ponded depth to save water in the transplanted rice culture.

This study examined the effects of the Empowering Parents Training(EPT) program with emphasis on mother's parental satisfaction and communication skills and children's self-esteem and social competence. Subjects were 73 mothers and their 4th to 6th grade children in elementary schools in Seoul and Kyonggi-do. Thirty-seven mother-child dyads were assigned to the education group and 36 dyads were assigned to the comparison group. Mothers in the education group received EPT in 7 sessions. Statistical methods adopted for data analyses were ANCOVA and Scheffe test. EPT had a positive effect on enhancing mothers' parental satisfaction and communication skills. EPT had some positive influence on children's self-esteem and social competence. The executive model of EPT used in this study was considered effective by the parents and lecturers.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of melon jam with RSM. The melon jam was prepared with 50~65% sugar, 0.5~2.0% pectin, and 0.1~0.5% citric acid. Sugar and pectin caused the increase in sweetness, Hunter's colorimetric characteristics (a, b), and firmness. Citric acid caused decrease in pH, sweetness, firmness. Sensory evaluation results showed that preferences for the melon jam increased as sugar, pectin, and citric acid approached their optimum values and then decreased as they exceeded optimum levels. Consequently, the proposed optimum levels in the ingredient formulation for manufacture of the standard melon jam were 59.0% sugar, 1.4% pectin, and 14.9% citric acid, as based on both numerical and graphic statistical analyses. Ultimately, this study was expected to contribute to the commercialization of melon jams of high quality.

The reduction phenomena of the compressive strength of concrete with respect to the size of specimens have been extensively investigated. However, adequate analysis technique have not been developed until now. Existing researches have shown that the larger member size, the smaller the strength. This indicated the necessity of nonlinear fracture mechanics theory in order to analyze the fracture behaviors of concrete. The are some models that predict the size effect of compressive strength of cylindrical specimens. Theses equations, however, are developed not considering the difference of fracturing mechanism which depends on both geometry of specimen and the strength level of concrete. In this paper, a model to predict compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens with respect to diameters, h/d ratios, and the strength level of concrete, is suggested. For this purpose, theoretical and statistical analyses are conducted. Experimental constants used in the model of new size effect are formulated in terms of strength levels of concrete based on existing experimental data.

This paper introduces the experimental results of sloshing model tests carried out at Seoul National University. Two 1/50-scale tanks, i.e., 2D and 3D models with the same shape, were manufactured for the comparative study. Particular interest was taken in the differences in impact pressures between the 2D and 3D models. Regular motion tests were conducted for different filling depths. For each filling depth, 500 cycles of regular excitation were imposed at each frequency. To observe the characteristics and severity of sloshing from the acquired pressure data, statistical analyses were performed, not only for the peak pressure, but also for the area-concept indices, which represented the amount of impulse.

This paper address the issues of satisfaction factors to measure the service quality in computer communication service users. In order to develope a satisfaction factors' model, we study appropriate quality factors of the service through the focus group interviews with service users, and surveys the quality levels that users have felt in services. It also analyzes the relationship between the user's quality level and the quality factors by the statistical analyses. Based on the optimal regression model, we suggest an appropriate satisfaction model in PC communication service areas. That model shows that most users are interested in the fare for use. Use-fare factor is the most powerful one to the satisfaction model. Second one is usefulness, next is correctness. But connect-status factor is the only negative one. Most users think that its factor is in the way of fluent communication. So to keep the competitiveness in the PC communication service, the sixth negative factor should be modified as soon as possible.
