Previous studies on high impedance faults assumed that the erratic behavior of fault current would be random. In this paper, we prove that the nature of the high impedance faults is indeed a deterministic chaos, not a random motion. Algorithms for estimating Lyapunov spectrum and the largest Lyapunov exponent are applied to various fault currents in order to evaluate the orbital instability peculiar to deterministic chaos dynamically, and fractal dimensions of fault currents, which represent geometrical self-similarity are calculated. In addition, qualitative analysis such as phase planes, Poincare maps Obtained from fault currents indicate that the irregular behavior is described by strange attractor.

To attempt new understanding of the traditional sports played from ancester, present study was focused on the entity of TAGU sticksports played by korean king's palace in the medieval times. Sticksports called Kyukgu, Tagu or Bonghee in the korean king's palace, as it's characteristic and traits, were very similar with present golf sports. And these sticksportdgolfsportts) were very prevalanced in the Korean Royal family from the beginning of the medieval times in this investigation results. Sticksports like Polo, these sports are seem to be introduced into the Korean Royal family from China in 12-13 century. As a results of investigation on the origin of golfsports controversy, the origin place of golfsports is not England or European country, but Asian country. The reasons are as follows ; 1) The origin times of golfsports was known generally from the beginning of the 13 century, but golfsports called Chui-Wan or Tagu(Bonghee) were played already in 11 century in East Asian countries. 2) In contrast of golfsports characteristics to "Soule a la Crosse" of Europe with "Chui-Wan" or "Tagu(Bonghee)" of East Asia, Chui-Wan or Tagu is advanced in 'Spielgedanke' and sports style of present golf than those of Soule a la Crosse of Europe. 3) Crosse, Golf, kolf, Golfen and kolben mean only stick, but Chui-Wan, Tagu(Bonghee) mean not only stick but also striking the ball by stick.

This study was conducted to examine aspects of skin care of male students at colleges and universities of male students at colleges and universities and its related factors in order to provide informations on skin care for men. The subjects of this study was 600 men who were students at colleges and universities in Daegu City and Kyungbuk Province. Data were collected from May 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. According to the respondents' socio-demographic characteristics, 55.9% of them was 20 to 24 years old and 29.6% was more than 25 years old. 84.9% of them was university students, while 15.1% was college students. 25.3% belonged to the lower class, while 22.4% belonged to the upper class. 52.7% did not have a girl friend, while 47.3% has a girl friend. 41.8% lived in big cities and 48.1% lived in small and medium cities. 2. 63.0% of the respondents replied that they were in good health, while 8.8% of them were in bad health. 41.9% of them was concerned about face and body skin care, while 14.1% was not concerned about it. Among most serious skin problems, the proportion of acne was highest (44.5%). 3. Among the persons who advised the respondents when they selected cosmetics, the proportion of selecting cosmetics as their own will was highest (44.7%). 25.3% of them selected it by recommendation of female family members and 18.3% selected it by recommendation of the girl friend. In the case of selecting it as their own will, the older they were, the higher the proportion was. In the case of having the girl friend, the proportion of selecting cosmetics by recommendation of the girl friend was higher than that of selecting it by recommendation of female family members. 4. 90.4% of the respondents replied that they never visited skin care rooms, while only 9.6% of them replied that they ever visited them. In the case of visiting skin care rooms, the proportion of the upper class was higher than that of the lower class. 5. According to the frequency of visiting skin care rooms, the proportion of once a week was highest (51.0%). 29.4% of them visited them once per 6 months and 19.6% visited them once a month. 6. In the case of the reasons they did not visit the skin care rooms, the proportion of 'no interest' was highest (36.6%). 23.2% did not visit them because they thought the fee for skin care was expensive and 19.5% did not visit them because they thought the skin care room were only for women. 7. In the variables of giving advice concerning skin care, the proportion of 'their own' was highest (29.8%). The proportion of female family members was 28.2% and the proportion of the girl friend was 27.7%. In the case of the age related to having the girl friend's advice, the proportion of 'over 25 years old' was 31.9% and the proportion of '20 years old to 24 years old' was 26.4%. The proportion of 'less than 19 years old' was 23.5%. The older they were, the more they had the girl friend's advice. 8. According to the sources of getting information on skin care, the proportion of mass media (TV, Radio etc.) was highest (36.7%). 26.0% of them obtained them through the girl friend and 13.9% obtained them through female family members. Only 8.4% got them through magazines. 9. The factors influencing the experience of visiting skin care rooms were experience of side effect of foundation cosmetics, concern about skin care, expiration date of cosmetics or checking of directions of using cosmetics, donsideration of skin character when using soap, and regular exercise for health. From above results, it can be concluded that skin care and beauty specialists working in beauty academies or the department of cosmotology at colleges or universities must make efforts to change the negative recognition of male skin care through deep and comprehensive research. It is also necessary to develop systematic education course and institutionalize the qualification management system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers in rat squamosomandibular joint with postnatal development. Squamosomandibular joint with adjacent tissue of 8 groups of rats(1,5,10,15,20,25,35-postnatal day and adult groups) were removed en bloc and processed for immunohistochemistry and were subjected to light microscopic examination. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The anterior portion of the articular disk was most densely innervated, followed by the posterior, lateral, and medial portions in each group. 2. Increase of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers was evident in 10,15,20 postnatal day groups. 3. Almost no CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers were observed in articular surface of disk proper, mandibular fossa and condyle head of each group. These result suggest that CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers increased in synovial membrane and peripheral portion of articular disk during 10-20 postnatal day may play a important role in squamosomandibular joint function after weaning period.

치아 재식 후 시간경과에 따른 치수조직의 재혈관화와 신경재지배의 변화를 관찰하기위해 생후 35일된 흰쥐(Sprague dawley) 56마리를 대상으로 상악우측 제1대구치를 발치 즉시 재식한 후 1일, 2일, 3일, 1주, 2주, 4주, 6주 간격으로 희생시켜 먹물을 이용한 혈관조영술과 CGRP를 이용한 면역조직화학적방법으로 각기 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 재혈관화와 CGRP 면역반응신경섬유의 재지배는 재식후 1일에서 근심측 치수조직에서는 이미 이루어졌으나 원심측은 미약했다. 재식후 2일에 전치수조직에서 재혈관화와 신경재지배가 이루어졌으며 이후 6주까지 시간경과에 따라 분포밀도가 증가하였으나 대조군에 비해서는 약하게 나타났다. 2. 재식후 1주에서부터 술후 상아질이 형성되기 시작하였으며 재식후 6주에서는 대조군에 비해 상대적으로 치수강이 좁아진 양상을 보였다. 3. 재혈관화와 신경재지배는 거의 같은 시기에 이루어지는 것으로 나타났으며 밀접한 관련성이 있는 것으로 보인다. The purpose of this study was to investigate the revascularization and reinnervation of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive nerves in immediately replanted rat molars. First maxillary right molars in 56 rats(35days old) were extracted and immediately replanted. The rats were killed 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 42 days after replantation and revascularization of pulpal blood vessels were examined microangiogram with korean traditional ink and reinnervation of pulpal nerve were examined immunohistochemical method using calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) antiserum. The results were as follows; 1. Revascularization and reinnervation of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers were observed mesial side whole pulp tissue of replanted teeth. Revascularization and reinnervation of CGRP immunoreactive fiber were made at 2days after replantation in entire pulp of replanted teeth and the distribution density of blood vessels were gradually increased according time elapsed, but did not achieve the density of control. 2. Postoperative dentin formation in replanted teeth revealed at 1 week after replantaton and gradually increased according to time elapsed. 3. Revascularization and Reinnervation of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers were established at the same time and it seems to be closed relatationship between revascularization and reinnervation.
