BACKGROUND: Perchlorate(${ClO_4}^-$) is an anion that is extremely water-soluble and environmentally stable. It mostly exists in the form of sodium perchlorate, ammonium perchlorate and potassium perchlorate which are used in rocket fuels, propellants, ignitable sources, air bag inflation systems and explosives. Perchlorate can be taken into the thyroid glands and interfere with iodide uptake. The determination of perchlorate in agricultural products is important due to its potential health impact on humans. The objective of this study was to determine the perchlorate concentrations in the samples of various agricultural products and soils. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, samples of cereal(Rice, Barley, Corn, Bean), vegetable(Spinach, Lettuce, Sesame, Chives, Chili, Pumpkin, Tomato), fruit(Apple, Pear, Tangerine, Grape) were analyzed for perchlorate contents. Perchlorate concentrations were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that agricultural products respectively contained perchlorate concentrations in the range of : cereals N.D.~$7.46{\mu}g/kg$, vegetables $0.52{\sim}23.06{\mu}g/kg$, fruits $0.19{\sim}2.66{\mu}g/kg$. Bioconcentration factor was in the order of : vegetables > cereals > fruits. Bioconcentration factor was highest follwed by Sesame 37.88, Corn 21.51, Spinach 10.57, Tangerine 4.39, Chives 2.89 and Lettuce 1.90. The recoveries of perchlorate from spiked agricultural products and soils ranged from 87.72~111.26% and 102.09~111.23%. CONCLUSION(S): The health risk assessment results obtained in this study are lower than the RfD(Reference Dose, 0.0007 mg/kg/body weight/day) value as suggested by the Integrated Risk Information System(US IRIS). Our results indicate that, people currently exposed to perchlorate from agricultural products consumption are considered as safe.

The representative design elements of the road geometric structure are longitudinal slope, horizontal curve radius, super elevation, and transition curve. According to the function of a road, the design standards of these elements is applied by diverse combinations of them. This study divided expressway into homogeneous segments based on longitudinal slope and horizontal curve radius. And then, data required for analysis were matched to each segment, and the safety performance function was built by using the established data. crash modification factors which can explain traffic accident exposure rate were calculated. When the threshold value of horizontal curve radius R=1,000 m was set to 1.0, the crash modification factors at R=300 m was calculated as 1.33, which means that the accident exposure rate is increased by 33%. When the threshold value of the longitudinal slope 0% was set to 1.0, the crash modification factors demonstrated that the accident exposure rate decreases on the upward slope and the accident exposure rate increases on the downward slope. The results of this study can be used as basic information in the design of expressway geometries during the improvement or the construction of expressways.

해저관로가 노출되어 있을 경우 파도와 조류 등에 의한 외적 하중으로부터 안정적이어야 한다. 트랜치 구간 내의 해저관로에 작용하는 유체 입자의 속도와 가속도는 해저면과 비교하여 볼 때 현저히 감소하므로 감쇄 계수를 사용하여 트랜치 구간 내에 설치되는 해저관로의 안정성을 해석한다. 그러나, 다양한 트랜치 구간의 깊이와 기울기에 대한 감쇄 계수에 대해 많은 자료가 부족하여 실제 설계에는 한정된 계수들이 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 깊이와 기울기를 가진 트랜치 구간의 실험 모형을 제작하여 회류 수조에서 P.I.V(입자 영상 속도계) 기법을 이용하여 여러 속도에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 다양한 트랜치 구간 내의 실린더 주변의 유동 특성과 유체 입자의 수평 속도를 측정하여 항력 감쇄 계수를 산출해 냈으며 실제 해양 공사에서 적용 가능한 안정성 해석 기준을 제시하였다.

In this study, the damages of high strength concrete exposed to high temperature have been evaluated by the impact echo method. Elastic wave velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity were measured by the impact echo method, and the compressive strength and the static modulus of elasticity were measured by the compression testing method after exposure to high temperature. The results showed that elastic wave velocity has a linear correlation with the compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity has a linear correlation with static modulus of elasticity. Based on results, it is concluded that the impact echo method can be effectively applied to evaluate the mechanical properties of fire damaged high strength concrete.

벼는 미립내부의 온도 및 함수율의 차이에 의해 열응력 및 수분차에 의한 응력이 발생하게 되며, 응력이 과대하게 발생되면 낟알이 금이 가는 동할이 발생하게 된다. 동할은 주로 건조과정 또는 건조후에 주로 발생하게 되는데 벼의 품질에 가장 중요한 지표로서 동할이 발생되면 저장성이 저하되며, 도정시 싸라기가 증가하여 도정수율에도 많은 손실을 가져오게 된다. 본 연구는 함수율 20.01, 21.80 및 22.80%(w.b.) 3수준에 대하여 40.4, 50.0 및 60.9$^{\circ}C$ 3수준의 건조온도와 노출시간 5 ~ 120분 동안에 벼의 동할에 미치는 영향을 구명하고, 동할 예측모델을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 초기 함수율이 낮고 건조온도가 높을수록 노출시간이 경과할수록 동할은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 건조온도 40.4$^{\circ}C$에서는 노출 100분전까지는 동할율이 2%이상 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 건조온도 50.$0^{\circ}C$와 60.9$^{\circ}C$에서는 함수율 20.0%(w.b.)의 경우 27분 및 11분 노출했을 때 동할율이 2%이상 발생하였다. 동할 실험치를 실험모델에 적합시켜 다중회귀분석 프로그램을 이용하여 실험상수를 결정하였다. 실험모델의 결정계수는 모든 온도에서 0.9이상으로 높게 나타났으며, RMSE는 40.4$^{\circ}C$에서는 0.2230, 50.$0^{\circ}C$에서는 2.4975로 나타났다. 또한, 60.9$^{\circ}C$에서는 77813로 이는 동할 실험치가 0 ~ 100 사이의 값임을 고려할 때 허용 가능한 수준으로 판단된다.

Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) was investigated in organs (gill, liver, kidney, intestine) of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) exposed to sub-lethal concentration (5, 10, 50, 100 $\mu$g/L) of Cd for 30 days. Cd exposure resulted in an increased Cd accumulation in liver of flounder for exposure periods and Cd concentration, and Cd accumulation increased linearly with the exposure time. At 20 days of Cd exposure. the order of Cd accumulation in organs was Bill>intestine>liver>kidney and after 30 days of exposure, Cd accumulation in organs was intestine>liver>gill>idney. An inverse relationship was observed between the accumulation factor (AS) and the exposure level, but AE shows an increase with exposure time.

이 연구에서는 Radarsat-1 SAR 영상과 조위자료, 증발자료 및 다편광 산란계를 이용한 개펄 건조 실내실험 등을 통하여 해수면 위로 노출된 자연갯벌이 증발과 구조적 변화를 일으킬 때 레이더 후방산란계수의 변화를 분석하였다. 개펄 건조 실내실험 결과, 후방산란계수가 증발시간에 따라 단순한 증가나 감소를 보이지 않았으며 갯벌의 구조와 배수, 증발, 건조 등에 의해 보다 복잡한 M자 형태(증가-감소-증가-감소)의 변화를 나타내었다. 이러한 M형의 변화는 증발시간에 따른 Radarsat-1 SAR 15개 영상의 후방산란계수 변화 양상에서도 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

AC-PDP(Plasma display Panel)는 기체 방전을 이용한 디스플레이로서 기체에 직접 노출되는 MgO 보호막의 이차전자 방출계수(${\gamma}$)는 AC-PDP의 방전특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. MgO 보호막의 이차전자 방출계수는 AC-PDP에 주입하는 기체의 종류, 결정 방향성과 표면오염상태등에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 MgO 보호막을 열처리한 상태와 열처리 하지 않은 상태를 ${\gamma}$-FIB 장치를 이용하여 2차전자방출 계수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 또한 24시간 MgO 보호막을 대기중에 방치하여 두었을 때 MgO 보호막의 표면오염상태에 대한 2차전자방출계수값을 측정하여 MgO 보호막의 표면오염에 대한 방전 전압특성저하가 어느정도인지를 알아보았다. 실험에 사용한 혼합기체는 Ne+Xe, He+Ne+Xe 혼합기체를 사용하였고, MgO 보호막은 21inch 규격의 실제 PDP Panel의 MgO 보호막을 사용하였다.

Fire performance is the important criterion for evaluating of safety of wood structures which exposed to the standard fire condition. Endurance time and time-to-failure are used as the criteria for fire performance in many countries. Reliability analysis about wood floor system which exposed to fire was carried out as preliminary research for reliability-based design on fire. Analyses were conducted by two methods, numerical analysis method and deterministic method.. They didn't show the difference between two methods. The reliability of floor exposed to fire showed strong dependence on the coefficient of variation of member and did not be influenced by the strength or load of member.

A review is presented of experimental studies on the strength performance of concrete exposed at short-term and rapid heating as in a fire and after cooling. Emphasis is placed on concretes with high original compressive strengths, that is, high-strength concrete(HSC). The compressive strength-temperature relationships from the reviewed test programs are distinguished by the test methods used in obtaining the data(unstressed, unstressed residual strength, and stressed tests) and by the aggregate types(normal or lightweight), The compressive strength properties of HSC vary differently with temperature than those of NSC. HSC have higher rates of strength loss than lower strength concrete in the temperature range of between 20$^{\circ}C$ to about 400$^{\circ}C$. These difference become less significant at temperatures above 400$^{\circ}C$ compressive strengths of HSC at 800$^{\circ}C$ decrease to about 30 ％ of the original room temperature strength. A comparison of lest results with current code provisions on the effects of elevated temperatures on concrete compressive strength and elastic modulus shows that the CEN Eurocodes and the CEB provisions are unconservative.
