This study examined the mediating effects of the adult educator's characteristics on the relationship between the characteristics of the participants attending adult continuing education and the happiness index of lifelong learning, the motivation of participating in learning and the institution characteristics. The research results showed that there is no difference in the happiness index of lifelong learning according to the sex of the adult learners, education level, age, residence, participation experience of lifelong learning, occupation, and type of lifelong programming being participated. The characteristics of adult learners do not have a direct impact on the happiness index of lifelong learning. The characteristics of adult learners affect the characteristics of adult educators, motivation of participating in learning and institution characteristics. Although the characteristics of educators do not affect the happiness index of lifelong learning, the motivation of participating in learning and institution characteristics have a positive impact on the happiness index of lifelong learning. While the characteristics of adult educators do not have a mediating role for the characteristics of adult learners and happiness index of lifelong learning, the motivation of participating in learning and institution characteristics have shown a complete mediation for the characteristics of adult learners and the happiness index of lifelong learning. These findings suggest that the participating motivation of adult learners, adult educator's improved understanding on adult learners and education quality of education institution are very important for increasing the happiness index through a lifelong learning experience.

In this study, the influences of rail surface roughness on dynamic wheel-rail forces currently employed in conventional lines were assessed by performing field measurements according to grinding of rail surface roughness. The influence of the grinding effect was evaluated using a previous empirical prediction model for dynamic wheel-rail forces; model includes first-order derivatives of QI (Quality Index) and vehicle velocity. The theoretical dynamic wheel-rail force determined using the previous prediction equation was analyzed using the QI, which decreased due to rail grinding as determined through field measurements. At a constant track support stiffness, an increase in the QI caused an increase in dynamic wheel-rail forces. Further, it can be inferred that the results of dynamic wheel-rail analysis obtained using the measured data, such as the variation of QI due to rail grinding, can be used to predict the peak dynamic forces. Therefore, it is obvious that the optimum amount of rail grinding can be determined by considering the QI, that was regarding an operation characteristics of the target track (vehicle velocity and wheel load).

This study has conducted case studies in order to suggest alternatives to the historical data-based estimate system. Price fluctuation calculation methods based on historial cost indexes, standard estimate and construction cost indexes were applied to 9 road construction sites in Jeju for an analysis. As a result, in 5 construction sites (about 56% of 9 sites), the index control rate calculated based upon historical data-based estimate system was higher than that calculated based upon standard estimate and construction cost indexes. Thus the establishment of the requirements for the adjustment of contract price due to price fluctuation delays, which leads to a significant difference in price fluctuation amount. And, in an analysis of construction cost indexes, the indexes for road construction were used for calculating index control rate which ranges from 2.0 to 9.4 percent, indicating the time of construction amount and price fluctuation application has a significant influence on index control rate.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the emotional characteristics related to gifted children's happiness, such as happiness index, optimism, psychological wellbeing, and school education happiness. For the study, 201 gifted students who were currently enrolled in gifted education centers, 124 potentially gifted students who were nominated by teachers for their scientific interests and high performances, and 141 general middle school students participated in the study. The results indicated that both the gifted and the potentially gifted students showed significantly higher emotional characteristics related to happiness compared to the general students. There was no significant difference between the gifted and the potentially gifted in the diverse aspects of happiness. Interestingly, significant interaction between gender and giftedness was found. Girls were happier when they were identified as the gifted, compared to the boys. Variables related to the happiness were also investigated, and the results indicated that the peer relationship and the family happiness were the most important variables that explained gifted children's happiness in general.

This paper aims to analyze number of Asian dust days and their controlling factors in Korea. Asian dust days, Arctic oscillation index, Antarctic oscillation index and Eurasian snow cover data were used in this study. The number of Asian dust days was increasing after the middle 1980s. The number of Asian dust days was concentrated in April. The number of Asian dust days was increased second half (5.1 days) than first half (3.2 days) of the study period. The number of Asian dust days had positive relationship with winter Arctic oscillation index and Antarctic oscillation index. When the Arctic oscillation index and Antarctic oscillation index is positive, the Asian dust days will be increased. The number of Asian dust days had negative relationship with the Eurasian snow cover. When the Eurasian snow cover will be decreased, the Asian dust days will be increased.

본 연구에서는 댐 하류하천의 사주와 식생의 면적변화, 변화지수, 변화정도와 경년변화를 분석하였다. 사주면적은 댐 건설후 16.73%가 감소하였으며, 변화지수는 $-0.2599{\sim}-0.9921$이었다. 식생면적은 댐 건설후 12.84%가 증가하였으며, 변화지수는 $0.2699{\sim}12.0736$이었다. 안동, 임하, 합천의 3개 댐의 연 최소 유량과 사주와 식생의 경년 변화를 분석 하였다. 연 최소 유량변화 분석결과, 1일 최소유량은 안동댐이 203%, 임하댐이 167%, 합천댐이 677%가 증가하였으며, 1일 최대유량은 안동댐이 84%, 임하댐이 63%, 합천댐이 81%가 감소하였다. 사주와 식생의 경년변화 분석결과, 사주면적은 연평균 $42,600\;m^2$씩 감소하였으며, 식생면적은 연평균 $51,700\;m^2$ 씩 증가하여 사주면적의 감소 보다 식생면적의 증가가 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 댐이 하류하천의 사주와 식생에 미치는 영향에 가장 중요한 요소는 첨두 홍수량 감소와 저유량 증가 등의 유량변화이다.

Effects of strain hardening exponents on the behavior of fatigue crack propagation are experimentally investigated. The retardation effect of fatigue crack propagation after single overloading is investigated in relation to strain hardening exponent and crack closure. A relationship between crack opening ratio and strain hardening exponents is inspected through an examination of the crack closure behavior. An empirical equation relating retardation effect of fatigue crack propagation after single overloading, percent peak load and strain hardening exponent of materials is proposed.

기후변화는 우리생활에서 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 예측되고 있다. 산불 또한, 발생 빈도와 강도 면에서 상당한 영향을 받을 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화모형(GCM)과 캐나다 산불 기상 지수의 미세연료 수분지수를 활용하여, 우리나라에서 기후변화 후 예측 되는 산불 발생의 가능성과 산불 계절의 변화를 예측하여, 향후 산불 방제 정책의 기본 자료로 삼고자 하였다. 밸런스형 사회가 유지될 경우의 미세 연료 수분 지수의 분석 결과, 산불 계절이 현재 보다 변화하는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 사전 대비가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
