My research interest focuses on modeling and analysis of multi-disciplinary complex physical systems where strongly coupled interaction plays an important role. For my undergraduate research on the aerodynamics of a high-altitude kite, I studied the interaction between the aerodynamics, structural dynamics, and control of the kite and the cable configuration in a team of eight students. My mast...

Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) was identified as a strong modulator of serum lipids. Moreover, an APOA5 gene -1131T>C polymorphism has been associated with serum lipids, but the results are inconsistent according to ethnic and racial groups. We have genotyped and analyzed 1,619 outpatients of Korean oriental medicine hospitals who were classified into three Sasang constitution groups (SCGs), So-Yang...

The Sasang constitutional medicine has long been applied to diagnose and treat patients with various diseases. Studies have been conducted for establishment of scientific evidence supporting Sasang Constitutional (SC) diagnosis. Recent human microbiome studies have demonstrated individual variations of gut microbiota which can be dependent on lifestyle and health conditions. We hypothesized tha...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the difference of physical fitness and body composition among Sasang types with BMI as covariate, which is reported to have influence on physical fitness and body composition. METHODS We measured the physical fitness and body composition of 930 korean female college students, and compared the differences among Sasang type groups with or with...

This paper empirically decomposes the costs associated with participation in welfare by developing a structural model of labor supply and multiple program participation to better understand the barriers of participation in social insurance programs. The well-documented fact that many individuals who are eligible for welfare choose not to participate implies that there is a sizable cost associat...

Hill and Barton (2005) showed that fighters in tae kwon do, boxing, and wrestling who wore red jerseys during the 2004 Olympic Games won more often than those wearing blue jerseys. Regarding these results, this study investigated the effects of jersey color during a combat situation on fighters' physical parameters of strength and heart rate. An artificial, experimental combat situation was cre...
