Exposure to the natural environment can cause damage to domestic wooden cultural assets, such as temples. Deterioration is accelerated by biological damage and various environmental factors. In this study, meteorological factors were monitored by equipment installed at Beopjusa temple of Boeun province and Seonamsa temple of Suncheon province. A statistical model was applied to these data to predict the meteorological factors and to compare the predictive performance of each meteorological factor. The resulting correlation coefficient between air and dew point temperatures was highest, at 0.95, while the correlation coefficient for relative humidity had a moderate value(0.65) at both the Beopjusa and Seonamsa temples. Thus, a general linear model was found to be suitable for predicting air and dew point temperatures. An analysis of correlation between meteorological factors showed that there was strong positive correlation between air temperature and dew point temperature, and between solar radiation and evaporation at both sites. There was a weak positive correlation between air temperature and evaporation at Beopjusa temple. Wind speed was negatively correlated with both air temperature and relative humidity at Seonamsa temple. The wind speed at this location is higher than average in winter and lower than average in summer, and it was hypothesized that the low wind speed plays a role in reducing water evaporation in summer, when both air temperature and relative humidity are high. As a result, damage to the wooden buildings of Seonamsa temple is accelerated.

In this study, we analyzed physical properties of granites and their correlation with rock mass classification methods. The granite samples were obtained from field survey, in-situ borehole tests and laboratory tests for a design phase of various roads, railways and other civil engineering works in Korea. Among the measured physical properties, the results of unit weight, compressive strength, tensile strength, seismic velocity, cohesion, friction angle, elastic modulus and deformation modulus were introduced. We also correlated these properties with the compressive strength. The results of different rock classification method of RQD, RMR, and Q-system against the granites in Korea were compared with each other, and the correlation equations were proposed in a more simplified form. We also derived RMR values using the compressive strength as well as the RQD values of in-situ drilled cores, and estimated the deformation modulus of in-situ rock mass in terms of the RMR values.

The current standard for testing tetrodotoxin (TTX) in foodstuffs is the mouse bioassay (MBA) in Korea as in many other countries. However, this test suffers from potential ethical concerns over the use of live animals. In addition, the mouse bioassay does not test for a specific toxin thus a sample resulting in mouse incapacitation would need further confirmatory testing to determine the exact source toxin (e.g., TTX, STX, brevotoxin, etc.). Furthermore, though the time of death is proportional to toxicity in this assay, the dynamic range for this proportional relationship is small thus many samples must be diluted and new mice be injected to yield a result that falls within the quantitative dynamic range. Therefore, in recent years, there have been many efforts in this field to develop alternative assays. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) has been emerged as one of the most promising options. A LC-MS-MS method involves solid-phase extraction (SPE) and followed by analysis using an electrospray in the positive ionization mode and multiple reactions monitoring (MRM). To adopt LC-MS-MS method as alternative standard for testing TTX, we performed a validation study for the quantification of TTX in puffer fish. This LC-MS-MS method showed good sensitivity as limits of detection (LOD) of $0.03{\sim}0.08{\mu}g/g$ and limits of quantification (LOQ) of $0.10{\sim}0.25{\mu}g/g$. The linearity ($r^2$) of tetrodotoxin were 0.9986~0.9997, the recovery were 80.9~103.0% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 4.3~13.0%. The correlation coefficient between the mouse bioassay and LC/MS/MS method was higher than 0.95.

In general, the response spectrum analysis(RSA) method is wifely used for seismic analysis of building structures, and the time history analysis(THA) is applied for computation of structural vibration caused by equipments, machines and moving loads, etc. However, compared with the RSA method, the THA method is very complex, difficult and time consuming. In this study, the maximum responses for the vertical vibration are calculated conveniently by the RSA method. At first, the process for the RSA in excitation is proposed, and the maximum modal responses are combined by CQC and SRSS methods. Also, the responses obtained by the two modal combination methods are compared to the responses by the THA. And the correlation coefficients for human activities is proposed, and the RSA responses obtained by used to the correlation coefficients are calculated. Finally, results of the proposed method are compared with those of the time history analysis and correlation coefficients should be considered for the RSA of floor structure subjected to group dynamic loads.

Gene expression profile is numerical data of gene expression level from organism measured on the microarray. Generally, each specific tissue indicates different expression levels in related genes, so that we can classify cancer with gene expression profile. Because not all the genes are related to classification, it is needed to select related genes that is called feature selection. This paper proposes a new gene selection method using forward selection method in regression analysis. This method reduces redundant information in the selected genes to have more efficient classification. We used k-nearest neighbor as a classifier and tested with colon cancer dataset. The results are compared with Pearson's coefficient and Spearman's coefficient methods and the proposed method showed better performance. It showed 90.3% accuracy in classification. The method also successfully applied to lymphoma cancer dataset.

We have recently developed a novel in vitro SPF evaluation method with a high correlation coefficient (r=0.93) to in vivo SPF values(test sunscreen formulas : cress m, foundation). In this method, the in vitro SPF value was determined by the ratio of the time taken to achieve the minimal erythema dose with and without the sunscreens applied. We also reviewed the dilution and thin-layer methods for in vitro SPF evaluation, and investigated the relationship between irradiance(3$\times$10-3 2.5x 10-5W/cm2) and the degree of erythema. The degree of erythema was similar if t he radiation exposure(40mJ/cm2) was kept constant. It was obtained more than 0.90 correlation coefficient when it was compared the results by our new method with those from SPF-290 analyzer (Optometries, U.S.A.).

하천 및 하천시설물 관리 등을 위해서는 유역에서 하천으로 유출되는 유사량 파악이 필요하다. 현재 유사량측정은 하천에서 여러 개(3~7개)의 측선에서 부유사채취기를 이용하여 측정하여 농도를 분석하여 유사량을 산정하게 된다. 본 연구는 유량측정 기법 중 최근 자동유량측정기술에 활용하는 지표유속법(index velocity method)을 부유사량 측정에 적용하고 검토하였다. 지표법(index method) 적용 방법은 여러 개의 측선에서 측정된 부유사농도와 평균농도와의 관계를 분석하고, 평균농도와 가장 상관성이 높은 측선의 부유사농도를 지표 부유사농도로 설정하여 지표부유사 농도와 평균부유사농도와의 관계식을 개발하여 부유사량 산정에 활용하였다. 대상하천은 주천강에 위치한 영월군(주천교) 지점을 선정하였으며, 2020년 주요 홍수사상에서 27개의 부유사 측정성과를 확보하였다. 부유사 측정을 위하여 5개의 측선에서 부유사를 측정하였고, 부유사농도 규모는 2.20~373.20mg/ℓ이다. 평균부유사농도와 가장 상관성(상관계수 0.9988)이 높은 4번 측선의 부유사농도를 지표부유사농도로 설정하고 평균부유사농도와 지표부유사농도의 관계식을 개발하였다. 그 결과 지표관계식의 결정계수(R²)는 0.9977로 매우 높게 산정되었으며, 실측 평균부유사농도와 계산 평균부유사농도의 편차율은 평균 26.71%(0.60~103.26%)로 분석되었다. 편차율은 상대적으로 부유사농도가 낮은 성과에서 높았으며, 부유사농도가 10mg/ℓ 이상에서는 편차율이 14.81%로 1/2 가까이 줄어들었다. 즉 유량이 적은 경우 흐름 및 부유사가 하천의 일부구간으로 불규칙하게 편중되거나 흐름 전체적으로 확산되지 않아 편차율이 높게 산정되는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 홍수시 부유사농도의 지표법을 이용한 부유사량 산정이 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate two sample digestion procedures and instrumental determination parameters for analysis of lead in bone. Amputated human legs were treated by acid digestion or microwave dissolution prior to spectrometric analysis. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) were used for determining bone lead levels. Recovery efficiencies using standard reference material from acid digestion measured by ICP-MS were in good agreement with those of the certified value, but in cases of acid digestion by GF-AAS and microwave digestion by both two methods, recovery underestimated and overestimated, respectively. For the bone samples, the lead concentrations obtained by ICP-MS after acid digestionwere in good agreement with those by GF-AAS (correlation coefficient = 0.983), but GF-AAS gave systematically higher values than ICP-MS. While a good agreement between two analytical methods after microwave digestion was also obtained (correlation coefficient = 0.950), bone lead concentrations from microwave were relatively higher than those from acid digestion. In conclusion, the use of the simple nitric acid digestion procedure at an ambient temperature coupled to ICP-MS seems to be efficient for the determination of lead in bone in consideration for both the convenience and validity.

Mutual information is useful for analyzing nonlinear dependence in time series in much the same way as correlation is used to characterize linear dependence. We use multivariate kernel density estimators for the estimation of mutual information at different time lags for single and multiple time series. This approach is tested on a variety of hydrologic data sets, and suggested an appropriate delay time $ au$ at which the mutual information is almost zerothen multi-dimensional phase portraits could be constructed from measurements of a single scalar time series.
