When an accident occurs at nuclear power plant and radionuclide material is released to the area around the plant, public evacuation is considered as a measure to protect the safety of the residents nearby. This study draws factors required to estimate evacuation time and make estimation of the time to evacuate all residents from the EPZ of Wolsong site in consideration of traffic condition in the neighborhood and on the basis of field data around the site for each factor. The traffic capacity and the traffic volume by season were investigated for the traffic analysis and simulation within EPZ of Wolsong site. As a result, the background traffic volume by season were established. To estimate TGT(Trip Generation Time), the questionnaire surveys were carried out for resident and transient. The TSIS code was applied to traffic analysis in the events of daytime/night and normal/adverse weather under normal day/summer peak traffic condition. The results showed that the evacuation time required for total vehicles to move out from EPZ took generally from 118 to 150 minutes. The evacuation time took longer maximum 17 minutes at night than daytime during summer peak traffic.

참삿갓사초는 전국에 분포하는 여러해살이풀로 사료용, 사방용 소재로 사용되며 조경용, 관상용 지피식물로 사용되기도 한다. 참삿갓사초의 대량증식을 위해 가장 효과적인 파종 시기를 추정하기 위해 생장상을 이용해 인공적인 온도조건을 주고 참삿갓사초 종자의 발아율을 조사하였다. 실험을 위해 온도를 항온조건(30, 25, 20, 15, $5^{\circ}C$)과 변온조건(15/30, 20/10, $25/15^{\circ}C$) 총 8가지 조건으로 설정하여 발아율을 매일 측정하였다. 광조건은 명/암을 매일 12시간씩 반복하였다. 항온조건에서 발아율은 $20^{\circ}C$가 $17{\pm}7%$로 가장 우수하였고, $25^{\circ}C$ ($12{\pm}2.8%$), $30^{\circ}C$ ($3{\pm}1.9%$) 순으로 나타났으며, $15^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$에서는 발아하지 않았다. 그러나 $20^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$조건에서 통계적인 유의차는 발생되지 않았다. 한편, 변온조건에서의 발아율은 $15/30^{\circ}C$가 $91{\pm}3.8%$로 가장 우수하였고, $25/15^{\circ}C$ ($89{\pm}4.1%$), $20/10^{\circ}C$ ($69{\pm}3.4%$) 순으로 나타났다. 그러나 $15/30^{\circ}C$와 $25/15^{\circ}C$조건에서 통계적인 유의차는 발생되지 않았다. 따라서 참삿갓사초의 종자발아를 위해서는 변온이 필요하며, $25^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도가 필요하다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 가장 효과적인 파종 시기를 추정할 때, 낮-밤 $10^{\circ}C$ 이상의 기온차가 있는 초여름~늦여름 사이가 가장 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

For sustainable lunar exploration, the most required resources should be procured on site because it takes tremendous cost to transfer the resources from the Earth to the Moon. The technologies required for use of lunar resources refers to In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). As the ISRU technology cannot be verified in the Earth, a lunar surface environment simulator is necessary to be prepared in advance. The Moon has no atmosphere, and the average temperature of the lunar surface reaches to $107^{\circ}C$ during the daytime and $-153^{\circ}C$ at night. The lunar surface is also covered with very fine soils with sharp particles that are electrostatically charged by solar radiation and solar wind. In this research, generation of vacuum environment with lunar soil mass in a chamber and simulation of electrostatically charged soils are taken into consideration. It was successful to make a vacuum environment of a chamber including lunar soils without soil disturbance by controlling evacuation rate of a vacuum chamber. And an experiment procedure for simulating the charged lunar soil was suggested by theoretical consideration in charging phenomena on lunar dust.

Although healing is now developing an interest in extending tourism, there have been few studies in this area. Especially late-night tour is closely related to healing experience, but there are little researches that help us understand healing in late-night tour. This study was conducted to examine the relationships among late-night scapes(light aesthetics, sharing mood, culture uniqueness), healing experience(stress reduce and psychological happiness), attitude toward late-night tour. We collected data involving various late-night tourist, and used 198 respondents to analyze these data using LISREL structural modeling. Light aesthetics and sharing mood had positive effects on stress remove, but Culture uniqueness didn't have a signigicant effect on stress remove, unlikely the prediction. And all late-night shape had positive effects on psychological happiness. Also we tested the effects of the healing experience(stress remove and psychological happiness) on attitude. In the final section, we discussed several limitations of our study and suggested directions for future research. We concluded with a discussion of managerial implications, including the potential to advance understanding late-night tourist and implying an enhanced ability to satisfy target consumers of late-night tour.

층실사초는 경북 북부를 포함한 강원도 지역의 습기있는 음지에서 자생한다. 여러해살이풀로서 주료 사료용으로 사용되며 지피식물 등 정원소재로도 사용된다. 본 연구는 층실사초의 대량증식을 위해 가장 효과적인 파종 시기를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 종자의 최적 발아조건을 찾기 위해 배양상 온도조건을 항온조건(30, 25, 20, 15, $5^{\circ}C$)과 변온조건(15/30, 20/10, $25/15^{\circ}C$) 총 8가지 조건으로 설정하여 발아율을 매일 측정하였다. 광조건은 형광등을 이용한 명조건과 암조건을 매일 12시간씩 반복하였다. 실험결과, 항온조건에서 발아율은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $36{\pm}6.3%$로 가장 높게 나타났고, $20^{\circ}C$ ($27{\pm}4.4%$), $30^{\circ}C$ ($24{\pm}1.6%$) 순으로 나타났으며, $15^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$에서는 발아하지 않았다. 한편, 변온조건에서의 발아율은 $25/15^{\circ}C$에서 $22{\pm}7.3%$, $15/30^{\circ}C$에서 $10{\pm}2.5%$ 발아하였고, $20/10^{\circ}C$에서는 발아하지 않았다. 따라서 층실사초 종자의 발아최적온도는 $25^{\circ}C$이고 변온보다 항온이 유리했으며, 이 이상의 온도에서는 오히려 발아율이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 가장 효과적인 파종 시기를 추정할 때, 낮 기온 $25^{\circ}C$의 초여름에 실시하되, 밤 기온이 너무 내려가지 않도록 조절해준다면 보다 높은 발아율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 그러나 본 연구결과, 최고 발아율이 $36{\pm}6.3%$로 비교적 낮기 때문에 발아율 향상을 위한 추가적인 실험이 필요할 것이다.

The automobile-centered lifestyle has provided many advantages to urban residents, but it is also causing various problems. Among them, illegal parking is one of the representative urban problems that negatively affect them. The purpose of this study is to derive the urban environmental factors affecting illegal parking and provide policy implications by using data related to illegal parking among civil complaints about smart inconvenience reports in Seoul in 2019. It was judged that the influencing factors would differ depending on the time of the complaint, and the analysis was conducted by dividing the time of the complaint into a whole day, daytime, and nighttime. As a result of the analysis of this study, it was found that land-use variables and the number of POI facilities were closely related to illegal parking complaints. Also, the subway station area and road width were found to be closely related to illegal parking complaints. On the other hand, parking facilities did not show significant results with illegal parking complaints. This study showed that the use of civic complaint data could be used as important data to identify urban problems that city residents actually experience and to come up with policy implications.

The environmental stress that plants are most susceptible to is water stress. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone synthesized by plants to counteract environmental stress. The role of stomata in plants is to allow the synthesis of sucrose by absorbing CO₂, which greatly affects photosynthetic activity. In addition, stomata are pathways for transpiration, which releases H₂O and help establish a water potential gradient that allows plant roots to continuously absorb water and inorganic substances from the soil. Plants have a mechanism to minimize water loss by closing their stomata when exposed to water-stressed environments. The most well-studied hypothesis concerning the mechanism of stomatal closure is the response to water stress. When a plant receives sufficient water, its stomata open during the day and close at night due to its circadian rhythm. In addition, stomatal closure occurs when the concentration of CO₂ in the intercellular space increases. However, the mechanism of stomatal closure due to circadian rhythm and increased CO₂ concentration in the intercellular space is not well understood. When plants undergo water stress, the increased concentration of ABA in the guard cell cytoplasm induces an increase in Ca²⁺ concentration, resulting in cytoplasmic depolarization. As a result, the outward K⁺-channel of the tonoplast and the slow-type anion channels SLAC1 and SLAH3 are activated, releasing K⁺, Cl^-, and malate^2-, causing the stomata to close. Therefore, in this paper, the mechanism of stomatal closure caused by water stress was investigated.

The aim of this study was to enhance the safety and care of mental health for seafarer working in passenger ship workspaces. Brightness, color values, and color distribution were investigated with issues and improvement ways identified through seafarers' interviews. Firstly, previous studies, references, current policy, regulations, and accident case studies were reviewed. Color compositions of wheelhouse and engine room of M Ship were then surveyed in the field. Color values of each space were analyzed using a colorimeter. Colormeter analysis of brightness and color measurements in the wheelhouse and engine areas indicated that ceilings, walls, and floors were generally dark, with the engine area being very dark. Regarding color, green and blue were distributed in the ceiling of the wheelhouse and engine area, while red and blue were in the walls and floors of the wheelhouse and engine area. According to interviews with seafarers currently working at engine rooms, they responded about their experience of near miss incidents due to a decrepit indoor environment, a dark working environment, slippery and bright flooring, and stairs that were not suitable for domestic users. Thus, when installing lighting in the future, the brightness of the space should be improved by distinguishing between night and day. A lighting plan considering the location of lighting, level of shadow formation and contrast, reflectance of the facility, glare, color of light, floor color plan, and material selection is needed. A facility design suitable for domestic users is also needed.

Providing high-quality meteorological observation data at sites that represent actual farming environments is essential for useful agrometeorological services. The Automated Agricultural Observing System (AAOS) of the Korean Meteorological Administration, however, has been deployed on lawns rather than actual farm land. In this study, we show the inaccuracies that arise in AAOS data by analyzing temporal and vertical variation and by comparing them with data recorded by the National Center for AgroMeteorology (NCAM) tower that is located at an actual farming site near the AAOS tower. The analyzed data were gathered in August and October (before and after harvest time, respectively). Observed air temperature and water vapor pressure were lower at AAOS than at NCAM tower before and after harvest time. Observed reflected shortwave radiation tended to be higher at AAOS than at NCAM tower. Soil variables showed bigger differences than meteorological observation variables. In August, observed soil temperature was lower at NCAM tower than at AAOS with smaller diurnal changes due to irrigation. The soil moisture observed at NCAM tower continuously maintained its saturation state, while the one at AAOS showed a decreasing trend, following an increase after rainfall. The trend changed in October. Observed soil temperature at NCAM showed similar daily means with higher diurnal changes than at AAOS. The soil moisture observed at NCAM was continuously higher, but both AAOS and NCAM showed similar trends. The above results indicate that the data gathered at the AAOS are inaccurate, and that ground surface cover and farming activities evoke considerable differences within the respective meteorological and soil environments. We propose to shift the equipment from lawn areas to actual farming sites such as rice paddies, farms and orchards, so that the gathered data are representative of the actual agrometeorological observations.

Purpose: To report two cases of bone tumors other than osteoid osteoma in the proximal femur and treated with percutaneous high frequency radioablation method. Cases: We reviewed two cases with intracortical chondroma and enchondroma in the femoral head retrospectively. The patient with intracortical chondroma was a thirty one year old woman and had suffered right hip pain of 1 year duration. The lesion was located in the head of right femur and treated with CT guided percutaneous high frequency radioablation after needle biopsy under general anesthesia. The symptom was gone immediately after the procedure and was discharged postop. 1 day. 15 months has passed without symptom recurrence. Second case having enchondroma, was 56 year old woman complaining of gluteal area pain for 3 months. Radiologic evaluation showed osteolytic lesion with sclerotic rim on the inferior portion of the left femoral head. She received a same therapy with CT guided radiofrequency ablation following needle biopsy. She reported dramatic pain relief after the procedure and was discharged postop. 1 day. No symptom has occurred for 3 months until now. Conclusion: We present 2 cases of bone tumor occurred in the hip joint area other than osteoid osteoma which were treated with CT guided radiofrequency ablation.
