목적: 조영증강 MRI에서의 간혈관종의 조영증강속도와 겉보기확산계수 및 복셀내비결집운동 MR영상에서의 여러가지 지표인, 진성 확산계수 (D), 관류계수 (f), 가성 확산계수 ($D^*$), 겉보기확산계수 ($ADC_{fit}$)와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 후향적인 연구로 IRB 승인을 받았다. 39명 환자에서 47개의 간혈관종을 연구대상으로 하였다. 이 중 남자가 20명 여자가 19명이었다. 간혈관종은 조영증강후 시행한 T1 강조영상에서의 조영증강 속도에 따라서 3가지 형으로 분류하였고, 빠른 조영증강을 보이는 간혈관종은 A형, 중간정도는 B형, 느린 조영증강을 보이는 경우는 C형으로 하였다. D, f, $D^*$ and $ADC_{fit}$ 값을 구하여 3가지형의 간혈관종 간에 차이를 비교하였다. 결과: $ADC_{fit}$와 D 값은 C형의 간혈관종이 A형의 간혈관종보다 유의하게 낮았다 (P = 0.0022, P = 0.0085). 하지만 f 와 $D^*$ 값은 세 군간에 차이가 없었다. 모든 b값에서의 (50, 200, 500 and $800sec/mm^2$) 겉보기확산계수값은 C형이 A형에 비해 유의하게 낮았다 (P < 0.012). 그리고 b값이 $800sec/mm^2$에서 C형의 겉보기확산계수 값이 B형보다 유의하게 낮았다 (P = 0.0021). 하지만 다른 b 값에서는 A형과 B형, B형과 C형 간의 차이는 없었다(P > 0.016). 간혈관종의 조영증강 속도와 각 b 값에서의 겉보기확산계수 값 $ADC_{50}$ (${\rho}=-0.357$, P = 0.014), $ADC_{200}$ (${\rho}=-0.537$, P = 0.0001), $ADC_{500}$ (${\rho}=-0.614$, P = 0.0001), $ADC_{800}$ (${\rho}=-0.607$, P = 0.0001)과는 부적 상관관계 (negative correlation)를 보였다. 따라서 $ADC_{50}$, $ADC_{200}$, $ADC_{500}$, and $ADC_{800}$에서의 겉보기확산계수 값은 조영증강속도가 느릴수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결론: 간혈관종은 조영증강 속도에 따라 다양한 겉보기확산계수 값을 보이고, 느린 조영증강을 보이는 간혈관종이 감소된 겉보기확산계수 값을 보이는 것은 진성 분자확산과 관계가 있다.

This study was performed to develop a simulation model of circulating concurrent-flow rice dryer. The simulation model consists of drying model, tempering model and crack prediction model. The drying and tempering models were developed based on mathematical analysis, and the crack prediction model was developed by thin layer drying tests. Rice drying tests were done with three replications by use of a pilot scale dryer of holding capacity of 700 kg. Experimental values for moisture content, rice temperature, rice crack, and drying energy were compared with predicted values by simulation model. The RMSEs of predicted moisture contents were ranged from 0.5807% (d.b.) to 1.1951% (d.b.). and the coefficients of determination were 0.9688 to 0.9812. The RMSEs of predicted rice temperatures at the exit of the drying chamber were 1.83 to $3.81^{\circ}C$ and the coefficients of determination were 0.8834 to 0.9482. The results for moisture contents and rice temperatures showed very good relationships between predicted values and experimental values. The RMSEs of predicted value of crack ratio were 0.4082 to 0.7967% and the coefficients of determination were 0.8742 to 0.9547.

In this study, ground vibrations and aero space noises that is produced by the PRD(percussion rotary drill) were analyzed by work processes. Ground vibration equations were suggested by $2.798(SD)^{-0.793}$, $3.485(SD)^{-0.793}$, $3.705(SD)^{-0.793}$, according to experiment result, and these equations have reliability of 50%, 90%, 95%, respectively. Ground vibration values by the PRD method correspond to level of $5{\sim}34%$ of values that are assumed by the Attewell & Farmer's equation, and these result compares in reliability 50%. Also, those values were analyzed that correspond to level of $12{\sim}26%$ of ground vibration values by the Prof. Park etc.'s equations. But, the aero space noise was evaluated that is assumed by 88.9 dB(A) at separated distance 50m and is not satisfied even 85dB(A) that is the most negative noise value that present in domestic noise standard. The PRD method was analyzed that noise decrease effect exists hardly comparing with general pile driving method of construction. When is based in these results, the PRD method is judged that it is desirable that classify by the Low-vibration method more than the Non-violation noise method.

An estimation of seismic risk parameters by seismic zones of the Korea Peninsula in order to calculate the seismic hazard values using these was erformed. Seven seismic source zones were selected in consideration of seismicity and geology of Korean Peninsula. The seismicity parameters that should be estimated are maximum intensity, activity rate and b value in the Gutenberg - Richter relation. For computation of these parameters, least square method or maximum likelihood method is applied to the earthquake data in two ways; the one for the data without maximum intensity and the other with maximum intensity. Earthquake data since Choseon Dynasty is regarded as complete and estimation of parameters was made for these data using above two ways. And recently, a new method is published that estimate the seismicity parameters using mixed data containing large historical events and recent complete observations. Therefore, this method is applied to the whole earthquake data of the Korean Peninsula. It turns out that the b value computed considering maximum intensity is slightly lower than that computed considering without maximum intensity, and it becomes still lower when the incomplete data prior to Choseon Dynasty is used. In the case of the activity rates, the values obtained without maximum intensity and that with maximum intensity are similar, though they are lower when the incomplete data is used. The values of maximum intensities are usually lower when considering incomplete data. In the seismic source zone including the Yangsan Fault zone, however, the values are higher when considering the incomplete data.

In this paper, we discuss the errors in selectivity estimation using the multilevel grid file (MLGF). We first demonstrate that the estimatio errors stem from the uniformity assumption that records are uniformly distributed in their belonging region represented by an entry in a level of an MLGF directory. Bsed on this demonstration, we then investigate five factors affecting the accuracy of estimation: (1) the data distribution in a region (2) the number of records stored in an MLFG (3) the page size, (4) the query region size, and (5) the level of an MLFG directory. Next we present the tendancy of estimation errors according to the change of values for each factor through experiments. The results show that the errors decrease when (1) the distribution of records in a region becomes closer to the uniform one, (2) the number of records in an MLFG increases, (3) the page size decreases, (4) the query region size increases, and (5) the level of an MLFG directory employed as data distribution information becomes lower. After the definition of the granule ratio, the core formula representing the basic relationship between the estimation errors and the above five factors, we finally examine the change of estimation errors according to the change of the values for the granule ratio through experiments. The results indicate that errors tend to be similar depending on the values for the granule ratio regardless of the various changes of the values for the five factors. factors affecting the accuracy of estimation:

Experimental investigations on gamma - rays attenuation parameters and dielectric spectroscopic properties were done on a polymeric mixture with chemical composition (100-x) polyethylene + x basalt, where x = 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, and 20 wt%. Using the melting blending technique,six nanocomposite polymeric samples were prepared. The linear attenuation coefficient µ of each prepared set of samples was measured using a gamma-ray spectrometer including High Purity Germanium detector (HPGe) at energies 662.5, 1173.24, and 1332.51 keV. Based on the measured values of (µ) and sample density, the other effective shielding parameters were calculated. The values of µ showed an increase with increasing the dopant ratios from 0.0 up to 20.0 wt%. In addition, the µ values decreased with the photon's energy. The µ values were found 0.0847 up to 0.1175 cm^-1, 0.0571 up to 0.0855 cm^-1, and 0.0543 up to 0.075 cm^-1 at 662.5, 1173.24, and 1332.51 keV. for B0 up to B20, respectively. The ATR spectroscopy was done on the prepared samples, and a good evidence of adding the filler to the pure polyethylene (HDPE) was obtained. Besides, an enhancement in dielectric constant by insertion of basalt NPs also recorded and can be attributed to the large dielectric constant of basalt compared to pure HDPE.

본 연구는 연구지역의 수리상수를 추정하여 오염된 지하수의 정화공법 설계에 효과적으로 사용하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 수행된 수리시험은 순간수위변화시험, 단공양수시험 및 단계양수시험이다. 순간수위변화시험은 대표적인 Bouwer and Rice 직선법과 C-B-P 특성곡선법(type curve)으로 해석하였다. Bouwer and Rice법으로 해석한 평균 수리전도도 값은 $4.48{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$ 이며 중앙값은 $1.16{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$이다. C-B-P법으로 구한 평균 수리전도도 값은 $2.37{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$이며 중앙값은 $7.09{\times}10^{-4}cm/sec$이다. 두 해석 결과 연구지역의 하부가 화강암으로 이루어져 있어 대체로 투수성이 낮아 Bouwer and Rice법으로 해석한 수리전도도가 높게 나타난다. 단공양수시험은 GW7, GW12 및 MW9 관정에서 수행하였으며 여러 종류의 특성곡선법을 적용하여 해석하였다. GW7 관정은 GW12 및 MW9 관정보다 수리전도도 및 투수량 계수가 낮으며 이는 기반암의 파쇄대 및 절리의 여부와 관련된 것으로 판단된다. 단계양수시험은 KDPW1 및 KDPW2 관정에서 수행하였으며 해석방법에 따라 수리상수 값의 차이가 나타나지만 매우 미미하며 본 연구에서 해석한 수리상수 값은 오염지하수 정화설계에 있어 적절히 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the mechanical properties on drapability in the peach skin-like finished fabrics. For this study, the samples used were 50 kinds of peach skin-like finished fabrics. The mechanical properties such as tensile, shearing, bending, compressional, surface characteristic values, thickness and weight were measured with a KES-F system and drupe coefficient by drape tester. The relationship between the characteristic values and drape coefficicients of the peach skin-like finished fabrics results were obtained. 1. Peach skin-like finished fabric had $\pm$2o range of shearing, bending, compression, surface. properties, thickness and weight as compared with Japanese women's thin fabrics. The characteristic mixing values were better with the values of WC/T, W/T, etc. as compared with that of japanese women's thin fabrics. Accordingly, the peach skin-like finished fabrics had a little volume, excellent hanging and drapability as compared with japanese women's thin fabrics. 2. The drape coefficient of peach skin-like finished fabric had a high level of correlation between 2HB, G, WC, MIU, WT, MMD, 2HG, RT, W, B etc. of the mechanical properties. The blocked properties that contributed to the drape coefficient of peach skin-like finished fabrics were in the order of the bending> tensile> thickness> weight properties.

Two alternative pathways for methionine biosynthesis are known in Corynebacterium glutamicum: one involving transsulfuration (mediated by metB and metC) and the other involving direct sulfhydrylation (mediated by metY). In this study, MetB (cystathionine ${\gamma}-synthase$) and MetY (O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase) from C. glutamicum were purified to homogeneity and the biochemical parameters were compared to assess the functional and evolutionary importance of each pathway. The molecular masses of the native MetB and MetY proteins were measured to be approximately 170 and 280 kDa, respectively, showing that MetB was a homotetramer of 40-kDa subunits and MetY was a homohexamer of 45-kDa subunits. The $K_m$ values for the O-acetylhomoserine catalysis effected by MetB and MetY were 3.9 and 6.4 mM, and the maximum catalysis rates were $7.4\;(k_{cat}=21\;S^{-1})\;and\;6.0\;(k_{cat}=28\;S^{-1})\;{\mu}mol\;mg^{-1}\;min^{-1}$, respectively. This suggests that both MetB and MetY can be comparably active in vivo. Nevertheless, the $K_m$ value for sulfide ions by MetY was 8.6mM, which was too high, considering the physiological condition. Moreover, MetB was active at a broad range of temperatures $(30\;and\;65^{\circ}C)$ and pH (6.5 and 10.0), as compared with MetY, which was active in a range from 30 to $45^{\circ}C$ and at pH values from 7.0 to 8.5. In addition, MetY was inhibited by methionine, but MetB was not. These biochemical data may provide insight on the role of the parallel pathways of methionine biosynthesis in C. glutamicum with regard to cell physiology and evolution.
