The single regression method was used to analyze the correlationship between the compression index with mechanical properties for reclaimed marine clays in the Gyeonggi coast of Korea. As results of performing regression analysis for 62 samples about reclaimed marine clays in the Gyeonggi coast of Korea, linear regression lines between compression index and natural water content, void ratio in situ, and liquid limit respectively were obtained. The changed properties of reclaimed soil due to disturbance during dredging and reclaiming could be investigated by comparing with the existing empirical correlation equations for the original ground where dredging was performed.

An important factor of vibration test using MAST(multi axial simulation table) system is the reliance of input excitation source. Generally the generation of input excitation source is obtained by the measured data on special road in proving ground. The measured data on special road have more exciting energy than the data of real fields, therefore the time and expense for test can be reduced. But the magnitude of input excitation source must be defined by comparison with the excited energy on real field. The object of this paper makes the data base of domestic roads for the definition of input excitation source which is obtained by the measured data on special road in proving ground. These real field data on domestic roads are analyzed by the power spectral density and interrelationship index.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the malocclusion and dental caries in adolescents with permanent dentition. The subjects of the study were 385 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and DMFT index were recorded as clinical indicators of malocclusion and dental caries. The mean Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) score of the subjects was 12.42 and the mean DMFT index of the subjects was 2.89. Four students (1.04%) were included in the group of orthodontic treatment mandatory, which signifies the handicapping malocclusion. Moreover, the result of gender-specific analysis of the DAI components observed that the prevalence of midline diastema and mandibular overjet were significantly higher among boys (p < 0.05). In 7 components (missing teeth, incisal segment crowding, maxillary anterior irregularity, mandibular anterior irregularity, mandibular overjet, anterior openbite, antero-posterior molar relationship) among the 10 DAI components, abnormal groups showed significantly higher DMFT index than normal groups (p < 0.05). The subjects in the group of definite to handicapping malocclusion (DAI ${\geq}$ 26) showed significantly higher DMFT index than the subjects in the group of minor or no malocclusion (p < 0.01). In addition, the DAI score had significant positive linear correlation with the DMFT index (r = 0.584, p < 0.01). Consequently, the current findings suggested a positive relationship between the malocclusion and caries prevalence. And several specific types of malocclusion were supposed to be significantly correlated with dental caries.

Predicting ground settlement during the improvement of soft ground and the construction of a structure is an crucial factor. Numerous studies have been conducted, and many prediction equations have been proposed to estimate settlement. Settlement can be calculated using the compression index of clay. In this study, data on water content, void ratio, liquid limit, plastic limit, and compression index from the Busan New Port area were collected to construct a dataset. Correlation analysis was conducted among the collected data. Machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Neural Network, Linear Regression, Ada Boost, and Gradient Boosting, were applied using the Orange mining program to propose compression index prediction models. The models' results were evaluated by comparing RMSE and MAPE values, which indicate error rates, and R² values, which signify the models' significance. As a result, water content showed the highest correlation, while the plastic limit showed a somewhat lower correlation than other characteristics. Among the compared models, the AdaBoost model demonstrated the best performance. As a result of comparing each model, the AdaBoost model had the lowest error rate and a large coefficient of determination.

가뭄은 장시간에 걸친 강수의 부족으로 발생하는 현상으로 2000년 들어 9번(2000, 2001, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)이나 전국적으로 심한 가뭄이 발생하는 상황이며 특히 2014-2015년의 가뭄은 지속기간이 더 길어지면서 그 강도도 더욱 심해질 것으로 전망되고 있다. 가뭄은 복잡한 자연 재해로 시작과 끝이 불명확하고 느리게 발전해 나가며 광역적으로 진행됨에 따라 시 공간적으로 정확한 판단이 어려우며 감지와 감시가 힘듦에 따라 위성영상의 활용성이 높아지고 있는 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 시간적, 공간적인 규모 및 상황을 파악하기 위하여 기상, 위성 식생지수를 활용하여 2014-2015년의 장기 가뭄을 분석하여 위성영상의 활용을 평가하고 가뭄의 진행을 판단하고자 하였다. 가뭄심도를 파악하기 위해서 전국을 대상으로 MODIS DSI(Drought Severity Index)를 이용하여 SPI와의 상관성분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과를 통해 위성영상을 이용한 가뭄분석 연구에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recent studies suggest a possible pathogenic linkage between the osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors, including high sensitivity C-reactive (hs-CRP), hs-CRP and bone metabolism in females. Anthropometric measurements were performed on 300 women, and cardiovascular risk factors, including fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles and hs-CRP. An atherogenic index was calculated using the serum total cholesterol level divided by the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. The lumbar spine bone mineral density was measured using dual X-ray abosorptiometry. By bivariate analysis, the lumbar spine BMD showed negative correlations with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The Age, BMI and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol showed significant correlations with the lumbar spine BMD. From linear regression analyses of all the study subjects, age, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were found to be determinants of the lumbar spine BMD($R^2=0.272$).

Purpose : The prevalence of childhood obesity has doubled over the last 30 years. Obesity-associated sequelae in the vasculature begins in the early stages of life. The purpose of this study was to investigate how pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle brachial index (ABI) change with height, weight and body mass index (BMI) in obese adolescents. Methods : Seventy-nine obese adolescents (group 1: $85th{\leq}BMI<95th$ percentile, n=40; group 2 ($BMI{\geq}95th$ percentile, n=39) were included. The control group(group 3) included 99 healthy adolescents. Brachial- ankle (ba) PWV and ABI were estimated with blood pressure from four extremities. Heart rate (HR), and pre-ejection period/ejection time (PEP/ET) were also estimated. BMI was calculated from individual height and weight. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations between BMI and PWV. Results : Blood pressure and baPWV were significantly higher in group 2, compared to either group 1 or group 3. However, there was no significant difference in ABI, HR and PEP/ET between the groups. PWV showed linear correlation with both BMI and body weight. Conclusion : Obesity was associated with higher arterial stiffness in adolescents, which was demonstrated by an increase in PWV. There was no significant correlation between obesity and ABI.

The pronation foot can increase muscle activity, and may result in muscle fatigue and overuse syndromes. This paper aims to examine the relationships between muscle fatigue indices and pronation angles (PRA) larger than 20° for pronated foot subjects. Twelve subjects in the 15-61 age range were participated, and EMG of their biceps femoris were measured during treadmill walking at 4.5 km/h for 30 seconds. Slopes of the median frequency and the magnitude in the low frequency band were estimated respectively as muscle fatigue indices (MFIs). We hypothesized that the relationships between MFIs and PRA for the subjects in this paper be similar to those for normal ones. The test results demonstrated that we could obtain the significant correlation coefficients between MFIs and PRA (r>0.60; p<0.05).
