한의학에서 혀는 인체 내 생리, 병리적 변화를 반영하여 진단에 있어 중요한 지표자료로 사용하고 있다. 하지만 설진은 진단환경에 의한 영향을 많이 받게 되어 객관적이고 정량화된 결과를 얻기 힘들며, 그로 인해 한의사의 진단에 대한 신뢰성도 낮아 널리 활용되지 못하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 제한된 측정환경을 제공하는 디지털 설진 시스템을 통해 한의사로부터 황태라 진단받은 48명과 백태라 진단받은 14명의 설 영상을 획득하고, 설태의 컬러벡터값을 구하여 백태와 황태를 구분하는데 유의한 변수를 도출하였으며, 이를 이용하여 한의사의 설태 진단과 일치율이 높은 판별함수를 도출하였다. 이와같은 연구방법은 백태, 황태 뿐 아니라 회태나 흑태 또는 후태나 박태를 구분하는 데에도 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것이며 앞으로 한의사의 설진과정을 객관화, 과학화하는 과정에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Tritium. a radioisotope of hydrogen, is a constituent of water molecules and, therefore. is a ideal water tracer in hydrology. The tritium level of the precipitation in Korea has been monitored at the Pohang station from 1961 to 1976 by IAEA and has been analyzed from 1987 to present by KAERI. The tritium contents of the precipitation were recorded up to about 1,940 TU owing to world-wide nuclear testing in 1963. The contents have decreased and in present are about 10 TU. of which values are similar to those in pre-thermonuclear period. These data can be usefully applied to hydrological studies such as interpretation of relationship between groundwater and surface water and dating of groundwater.

하천의 조도계수는 하천의 수리특성을 나타내는 대표적인 지표로써 수리모형의 모의를 수행하는데 중요한 매개변수 중 하나이다. 하지만 현재 수리모형의 조도계수는 하천정비기본계획시에 수립된 하나의 조도계수를 사용하여 모의를 수행하고 있어 유량 또는 수위에 따라 동일한 조도계수를 적용하게 되면 수위를 과대 또는 과소 모의 할 수 있는 문제가 있다. 따라서 다양한 유량 조건에 따른 모의결과의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서는 유량 규모에 따른 조도계수를 산정하여 검토할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 삼례교를 대상으로 하였으며, 실측된 유량자료를 활용하여 유량 또는 수위에 따른 조도계수를 산정하였고 HEC-RAS 모의 결과와 비교하였다. 분석결과, 삼례교 지점의 경우 일반적으로 수위가 증가할 수록 조도계수가 감소하다가 일정한 경향을 보이는 것과 상이하게 수위가 증가할수록 조도계수가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 하천 내에 관목이 형성되어있어 조도계수가 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 추후, 다양한 지점을 대상으로 분석을 통해 환경부 등 하천 관련 사업과 하천기본계획 수립 시 조도계수 표준화를 통한 합리적 설계에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Vinyl chloride (VC) is a known human carcinogen, and it is released to multi-environmental media via several exposure routes. VC was potentially evaluated as a water quality pollutant based on human health risk assessment in Korean water environments. In this study, we investigated physicochemical and toxicological properties of VC, human health and ecological risk assessment, and the regulation of VC as a water quality pollutant in developed countries. Currently there are no standard or guideline values of VC in Korean legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem, except that it is designated as a specific toxic substance and a water quality pollutant. Human health risk assessment of VC was previously performed based on the limited water quality monitoring data. The monitoring level of VC in Korean water system is more higher than other countries'. VC was assessed as potential hazardous chemical based on the US EPA's cancer risk assessment. There were a few ecotoxicity data of VC available using very limited kinds of aquatic organisms, and the toxicity results obtained seem to be overestimated without considering the losses of VC in open exposure system. Therefore it is needed to monitor the VC in various areas and to carry out the ecotoxicity research using multi-level organisms. We expect that these results can be useful information for implementing VC as a water quality pollutant in legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem in near future.

As the structural damage caused by earthquakes has been gradually increasing, estimating the seismic fragility of structures has become essential for earthquake preparation. Seismic fragility curves are widely used as a probabilistic indicator of structural safety against earthquakes, and many researchers have made efforts to develop them in a more accurate and effective manner. However, most of the previous research studies used simplified 2D analytical models when deriving fragility curves, mainly to reduce the numerical simulation time; however, in many cases 2D models are inadequate to accurately evaluate the seismic behavior of a structure and its seismic vulnerability. Thus, this study provides a way to derive more accurate, but still effective, seismic fragility curves by using 3D analytical models. In this method, the reliability analysis software, FERUM, is integrated with the structural analysis software, ZEUS-NL, enabling the automatic exchange of data between these two software packages, and the first order reliability method (FORM), which is not a sampling-based method, is utilized to calculate the structural failure probabilities. These tools make it possible to conduct structural reliability analyses effectively even with 3D models. By using the proposed method, this study conducted a seismic vulnerability assessment of RC frame structures with their 3D analytical models.

This study conducted to investigate incidence rate and association of serum lipid profiles with incidence of ischemic heart disease. Study subjects consisted of 417,642 adults aged 30 years and over, who underwent physical examination and responded to questionnaire from health examination center of 19 university general hospitals. Hazard ratio of risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD) were calculated by Cox's proportional hazard regression model adjusted for ages, BMI and lifestyle (drinking, smoking and exercising). For TC/HDL ratio, hazard ratio of IHD in male increased from 1.21 times to 1.84 times increase with TC/HDL ratio, and that in female also increased from 1.26 times to 1.86 times. For TG/HDL ratio, hazard ratio of IHD in male increased from 1.17 times to 1.49 times increase with TG/HDL ratio, and that in female also increased from 1.42 times to 1.97 times. For LDL/HDL ratio, hazard ratio of IHD in male increased from 1.26 times to 1.82 times increase with LDL/HDL ratio, and that in female also increased from 1.26 times to 1.68 times. In conclusion serum lipid indexes are the significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The higher the concentration of TC, LDL and TG is, the lower the concentration of HDL is, hazard ratio for IHD increased. Ratio of TC/HDL, TG/HDL and LDL/HDL were also verified to be significant risk factors for IHD.

In order to estimate the anisotropy of the medium, we deployed a series of 120-sources in a borehole, and simultaneously recorded 3-component seismic data at 5 locations on the surface. We have tried to estimate the directional velocities by comparing the first arrivals at different receivers. For that purpose, the receiver statics must be corrected prior to pick the first arrivals. However, in an IVSP with a limited number of receiver points, it may not possible to estimate a reliable receiver statics, therefore, instead of using individual first arrival times, we tried to estimate the move-out velocity at each records. From this analysis, we have found that there exists a measurable amount of difference in directional velocities, and confirmed that the velocity anisotropy agrees with the results of the previous studies conducted in this area.

This study was conducted to make on-site survey on the output pattern and utilization situation of 19 by-products selected, to evaluate their nutritional characteristics, to find out a reliable index with which digestion of by-products can be predicted on the basis of chemical compositions analyzed and to diagnose the risk of using book values in the absence of the actual values analyzed for diet formulation. Production and utilization situations of by-products were quite various. Nutritionally, fruit processing by-products such as apple pomace (AP), pear pomace (PP), grape pomace (GP), and persimmon peel (PSP), and bakery by-products (BB) were classified as energy feeds. Soybean curd meal (SCM), animal by- products such as blood (BD), feather meal (FM) and poultry by-products (PB), and activated milk processing sludge (AMS) were classified as protein feeds. Soy hulls (SH), spent mushroom compost (SMC), barley malt hulls (BMH), waste paper (WP) and broiler litter (BL) were classified as roughage. Rumen contents (RC) and restaurant food waste (FW) were nutritionally analogous to complete diets for cattle and swine, respectively. Compared to soybean meal (SBM), BD and FM contained high (P<0.05) levels of amino acids and barley malt sprouts (BMS), AMS and FW contained low (P<0.05) levels of amino acids. Enzymatic (pepsin) digestibilities of proteinaceous feeds ranged between 99 and 66%. In vitro DM digestibility was high (P<0.05) in the order of FW, BB, AP, SH, PP, PSP, BMH, BMS, SCM, GP, RC, PB, BL, WP, SMC, AMS, FM and BD. In vitro DM digestibility had the highest correlation (r=0.68) with nonfibrous carbohydrate among chemical components. Differences between analyzed values of chemical components and book values were considerable. Caution is required in using book values when large amount of by-products are used in diets.

Journals are the main indicator to evaluate the level of the studies of a country. The main purpose of this study is to suggest the improvements of the current journal evaluation system to enhance the level of journal quality. To accomplish the above purpose, the 631 researchers are surveyed by internet for their recognition. The major findings are as follows. Firstly, the current registration process need to be maintained, however, need to reinforce the conditions to level up the journal level and to extend the term for keeping the rate. Secondly, the professionalism and credibility of the appraisers need to be reinforced to increase the equity and rationality of the current evaluation system. Thirdly, the evaluation process for the newly entering journal need to be more strict than the current system. Fourthly, the Korean citation index or Kor-Factor need to be applied to evaluate the domestic journals. Lastly, the restriction policy is need to constrain the number of journals.
