In the previous paper the knitted structures on various parts of stocking and the physical properties of stocking fabric were investigated and the body leg measurements were carried out in order to find out the enlarged strain of stocking by wearing.
In the present paper the deformation and strain distribution produced on various parts of nylon stocking by wearing were measured in order to find out some influences on the run propagation.
The main results obtained were as follows :
1) The strain in wale direction at underleg was larger than that of thigh and was largest around the ankle. The strain in course direction was rather complex than that of wale direction.
2) The strain in wale direction at foot was largest at outside, medium at inside and smallest at instep. The strain in course direction at the instep was in order of stretchseamless>nonrun>nonstretch-seamless.
3) The strain distribution in stocking was uniform at various parts of stocking by tight wearing, but unequally distributed strain produced by loose wearing.

Tokyo Women's Medical University Library holds books which serve as good guides to problem-based learners. During self-study, students often use only OPAC to search for reference books and often fail to accomplish efficient literature search. The problem may be due to the difference between “uncontrolled vocabulary” students use for searching books and “control led vocabulary” librarians use for indexing books. With the current index system, a student cannot usually locate the reference books using subject headings and key words learnt from their teachers. The classification number is usually more useful than the subject headings when searching for books. To solve this problem, several analyses were performed and a literature search system was created. The additional search system is more user-friendly and helps students to locate reference books faster. Also, the new system leads students directly to book stacks where related books on the matched topic are placed.

小学校における外国語教育の教科化と低学年化の動きに伴い，英語教材としての絵本や物語文（ストーリー）に対する関心度が近年高まっている。ストーリーを教材として用いる意義の1 つには，まとまった英語を提示でき，意味のある文脈とともにインプットを与えられることがある（アレン玉井， 2010）。これまでの研究はストーリー教材を用いた指導の方法やその成果，教材選定のポイント等を報 告したものが多く，ストーリー教材の特徴を客観的に分析・評価した研究はほとんど行われていない。 そこで本研究では，コーパスと統計分析によって算出される文間の意味的な関連度に基づき，小学生向けストーリー教材における文脈の特徴を分析することを試みた。日本人の小学生向けに作成された 10 のストーリー教材のテキストを対象として，各教材における隣接する文間の意味的な関連度を算出 し，その平均やばらつき，具体的な文脈の記述内容を検討した。その結果，本研究で対象とした教材における文間の意味的な関連度は，先行研究で報告されている大人の学習者を主な対象とした教材の値よりも全体的に高く，文間の意味的な関連度は教材が対象とする学習者の発達段階を反映する可能性が示唆された。また，文脈の記述内容の検討から，文間の意味的な関連度に基づけば，「類似した意味を持つ文脈で出現しやすい単語が文間で含まれているか」という観点からストーリーの文脈を評価できることが確証された。これらの結果に基づき，文間の意味的な関連度に基づいて小学生向けのストーリー教材を評価する意義と，教材開発・改善への利用可能性について述べた。

The causes of misfits of nylon hosiery while being worn, especially sagging and twisting, were discussed experimentally. Our attention was paid to the four conditions of how hosiery was worn. They are as follows : the length of the clasps of the girdle, the positions of the clasps which hold hosiery around the circumference, the positions of the clasps in the welt and the amount of lengthwise stretch of hosiery.
The amount of sagging was measured by the slid-down length of a circular line on the hosiery around the knee. The amount of twisting was measured by the length of twisted portion of the hosiery times the width slid from a vertical base line along the leg. The experimental results obtained by the method of four dimensional analysis of variances are as follows :
(1) The shorter the length of clasps is, the less the misfits are made.
(2) The amount of the misfits is relatively small when hosiery is worn without strain.
(3) The amount of the misfits depends on the positions of clasps around the circumference of hosiery and in the welt.

Worn-out slips collected from homes were examined, and a method has been proposed for predicting the actual wearing process without performing wearing tests.
Thickness, air permeability change in color and strength were measured at each of 18 portions of worn-out slips. The same tests were administered to eight new slips after 68-day wearing under controlled conditions (including 20 launderings).
Significant correlation was found between two groups of the data obtained at each corresponding portion. General findings concerning the part and the, sort of damage are as follows : (1) thickness increases at front of the thigh and decreases at the seat, (2) air permeability increases at the seat, (3) change in color is comparatively small at the back and appreciable at the lower part of the seat, (4) pills are formed in the areas of belt and fastener of skirt, (5) strength decreases at the lower part of the seat and (6) the upper part of the seat stretches.
