  • This study was carried out to establish of environment-friendly control system and to survey the occurrence status of Ricania shanthungensis in Jeonnam province from 2016 to 2017. R. shanthungensis occurred at 1,344 ha in 61 towns of 15 cities in Gwangju and Jeonnam province. At four sites in the stationary area, the densities of eggmass and pupae were lower in 2017 than in 2016, the hatching rate decreased, and the first hatching time, emergence of adults, and the start of spawning tended to be slower. Telenomus sp., an egg parasitoid of R. shanthungensis, was found in most areas. Sunchon had the highest rate of 46.1%, followed by Muan 40.6, Goksung 29.2, Gurye 25.8, and Gwangju 17, respectively. The optimum spraying time for the control of R. shanthungensis was early March. The spraying material and the dilution multiples are 10 times of the machine oil at environmental friendly cultivation and 500 times of the chlorpriphosphate wp. at normal cultivation. When sprayed these materials, 95% of egg prohibited to hatch. There was more than 80% of the insecticidal effects on the organic materials of the machine oil emulsion, the Sophora root extrect + microbial extract agent, and the castor emulsion. For adults, Sophora root extrect + microbial extract, neem extract, and machine oil were better. Four kinds of chemical pesticides such as dinotefuran wp were effective for nymph and adult control. We have developed an adult catching device using the most preferred daylight color and behavioral habits of R. shanthungensis. The capture device consisted of two daylight compact lamps (30W and 20W), a yellow plate, and a catcher using water, and caught about 700 individuals a day. Based on the above results, we have established a system for controlling and life cycle of R. shanthungensis in Jeonnam province.

  • In this study we examined several subjective symptoms in an exposed group and an unexposed group to perchloroethylene. The exposed group consists to 30 workers employed in 23 dry-cleaning establishments located in Chung Cheung Do, whereas the unexposed group consists of 42 officers employed in a certain university. This study was conducted from October, 1993 to March, 1994. Also we investigated personal exposure levels and area concentration of PCE, and performed hematological and biochemical examination in blood and urine samples from the exposed group. The results are : 1. The exposed group highly complains several subjective symptoms, particularly in neuropsychiatry, eye, respiratory system and digestive system, compared with the unexposed group. But complaint rates in the exposed group are not related with PCE exposure levels. 2. PCE exposure levels for all dry-cleaning establishment varied widely, from 0.18 to 37.58ppm. The mean exposure level for centers of chain was 16.85ppm, and for local laundries was 8.83ppm, while for self-service establishment it was 3.07ppm. Eighty three percent of the workers were exposed less than the half-level(25.0ppm) of the Korea 50.0ppm standard for eight-hour PCE exposure. Seventeen percent of them exceeded the half-level of the Korea TLV. 3. Statistical correlation exists between the work load(number of operation cycles of equipment and the mass of processed textiles) and the personal exposure levels to be observed. 4. In hematological examination the values of WBC, RBC, Hgb, Hct, MCV, MCH, MCHC and PLT in the exposed group were within normal ranges. In biochemical examination(GOT, GPT, ALP, U-A and LDH) most of the items were within normal ranges. From this surveys conducted on 23 dry-cleaning establishments, the complaint rates of the exposed group to PCE in several subjective symptoms were higher than those of the unexposed group, and PCE exposure levels in all dry-cleaning establishment were below the Koera standard 50.0ppm. In hematological and biochemical examination the significant abnormalities by occupational exposure to PCE were not observed. However, the workers employed in dry-cleaning establishments are always faced with risk, becauses they are also exposed to several organic solvents used to remove stains. Therefore, various measures to improve occupational environment in dry-cleaning establishment should be considered.

  • Members used for the Korean traditional joints have been processed by handicraft, especially with domestic red pine species. Dovetail joint is most commonly used in woodworking joinery and traditional horizontal and vertical connections. It is able to be processed much easier to cut by handicraft and machines. However, although it is processed straight forwards, it requires a high degree of accuracy to ensure a snug fit. Also, tenons and mortises must fit together with no gap between them so that the joint interlocks tightly. A few scientific studies on the dovetail joints have been conducted so far. For the effective applications of traditional joints and domestic plantation wood species, dovetail joints were assembled by larch glulam members processed by machine pre-cut. To identify the tensile properties of through dovetail joints, larch glulam with 150 150mm in cross section were prepared. Furthermore, various geometric parameters of dovetai joints such as width, length, and tenon angle, were surveyed. The ends in the mortise was cracked mainly at a low strength level in the control specimens without reinforcements. The maximum tensile strengths of reinforced specimens considering real connections such as capital joint and headpiece on a column, increasedby handicraft, especially with domestic red pine species.

  • This paper describes how to disambiguate the aspectual meaning of Japanese expression "-te iru" in Japanese-Korean machine translation Due to grammatical similarities of both languages, almost all Japanese- Korean MT systems have been developed under the direct MT strategy, in which the lexical disambiguation is essential to high-quality translation. Japanese has a progressive aspectual marker “-te iru" which is difficult to translate into Korean equivalents because in Korean there are two different progressive aspectual markers: "-ko issta" for "action progressive" and "-e issta" for "state progressive". Moreover, the aspectual system of both languages does not quite coincide with each other, so the Korean progressive aspect could not be determined by Japanese meaning of " te iru" alone. The progressive aspectural meaning may be parially determined by the meaning of predicates and also the semantic meaning of predicates may be partially reshicted by adverbials, so all Japanese predicates are classified into five classes : the 1nd verb is used only for "action progrssive",2nd verb generally for "action progressive" but occasionally for "state progressive", the 3rd verb only for "state progressive", the 4th verb generally for "state progressive", but occasIonally for "action progressive", and the 5th verb for the others. Some heuristic rules are defined for disambiguation of the 2nd and 4th verbs on the basis of adverbs and abverbial phrases. In an experimental evaluation using more than 15,000 sentances from "Asahi newspapers", the proposed method improved the translation quality by about 5%, which proves that it is effective in disambiguating "-te iru" for Japanese-Korean machine translation.translation quality by about 5%, which proves that it is effective in disambiguating "-te iru" for Japanese-Korean machine translation.anslation.

  • 로티퍼는 해산어와 담수어뿐만 아니라 식용어와 관상어에 이르기까지 모든 어류의 인공 종묘 생산 과정에서 초기 먹이생물로 이용되고 있는 중요한 동물 플랑크톤이다. 그리고 로티퍼를 초기 자어의 첫 먹이로 사용하는 것을 시작으로 알테미아, 코페포다 또는 초미립자 사료 등을 사용하는 어류 인공종묘 생산 과정에서의 먹이계열이 확립되어 있다. 그러나, 사육하고자 하는 어종에 따라 초기 자어기에서 로티퍼를 섭이하는 시기와 사육 일령별 자어의 로티퍼 포식수를 알 수 있는 정확한 방법이 없다는 이유로 지금까지는 자어의 로티퍼 최초 포식 일령 및 로티퍼 포식수를 개개의 연구자들 나름대로의 방법으로 관찰하여 왔다. 일반적으로 자어가 로티퍼를 포식하였는지의 여부 및 포식수는 자어 소화기내에 존재하는 소화가 진행되기 전의 로티퍼 몸체의 수를 계수하는 방법으로 이루어졌다. 로티퍼의 체내에는 섬모환으로 모은 수중의 먹이 현탁액을 소화기계로 이동시키기 전에 먹이를 잘게 다지고 부수는 기능을 하는 저작기 (trophi)가 존재한다. 그리고 이 저작기는 로티퍼의 종에 따라서 다른 형태를 하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 자어가 섭이한 로티퍼는 어류의 소화기내에서 소화가 진행되는 과정에서 로티퍼의 체 구조 중 저작기가 쉽게 소화되기 어렵고 소화기관의 연동 운동에 의해서도 쉽게 그 모양이 손상되지 않는다는 것을 발견하고 이 저작기의 수를 계수하므로서 로티퍼의 최초 섭이 일령 및 일령별 로티퍼 포식수를 계수할 수 있는 방법을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 소화기내의 잔존 로티퍼 몸체만으로 계수 관찰하던 기존 방법에 비교하여 로티퍼의 저작기를 계수하는 방법을 이용할 경우 보다 신뢰도가 높은 결과를 도출할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 경제적 가치의 우수성 때문만은 아니다. 미국은 자국의 대두 생산자들이 생산해 낸 대두를 판매하면서 조성한 자조금을 모아 대두의 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 연구 개발과 국내외 시장을 확대하기 위한 마케팅 활동에 쓰고 있다. 이런 자조 노력은 비단 미국의 대두 농민들에게만 국한된 것이 아니다. 가깝게는 일본의 수산업과 해산어 양식산업의 발전은 중앙 및 지방 정부, 수협과 같은 어민 조합 및 연근해 수산업 종사자들이 출연한 기금을 통해 이루어지고 있음을 지난 8월 북해도의 양식산업을 시찰했을 때 확인할 수 있었던 사실이다. 이제 우리나라도 국민소득 1만불 시대를 넘어 2만불 시대를 열기 위한 청사진을 그릴 만큼 모든 경제의 규모가 확대되었을 뿐 아니라 질적으로 고도화되었다. 우리에게 필요한 것은 성숙된 산업사회에 걸맞는 각 산업 주체들의 의식이다. 한국의 양식산업도 자조 정신을 갖추어 생산성 향상에 초점을 맞춘 양식기술의 개발, 환경 보전을 고려한 양식장 관리 및 소비를 확대하기 위한 유통시스템의 선진화에 스스로 투자를 해야 할 시기에 와 있다.치가 완전히 익은 15일 후에는 무첨가 김치, 0.1%, 0.2% 및 0.3% 고분자 키토산 김치의 젖산균 수는 5.4X107 cfu/g, 3.3X107 cfu/g, 8.6X106 cfu/g 및 2.6X106 cfu/g로 나타났다. 5. 발효가 진행 중에 대장균 군 수가 시간과 더불어 대장균군 수가 모든 구에 있어서 6일까지는 서서히 증가하다가 그 후부터는 대장균 군 수가 감소하였다. 즉, 발효초기에는 모든 구가 2.0X104∼4.0X105 cfu/g이었고, 6일 경에는 8.9X104∼4.5X105 cfu/g로 약간 증가하였으며 15일후에는 키토산 무첨가 김치가 2.0X

  • The internal structure of a river embankment must be delineated as part of investigations to evaluate its safety. Geophysical methods can be most effective means for that purpose, if they are used together with geotechnical methods such as the cone penetration test (CPT) and drilling. Since the dyke body and subsoil in general consist of material with a wide range of grain size, the properties and stratification of the soil must be accurately estimated to predict the mechanical stability and water infiltration in the river embankment. The strength and water content of the levee soil are also parameters required for such prediction. These parameters are usually estimated from CPT data, drilled core samples and laboratory tests. In this study we attempt to utilise geophysical data to estimate these parameters more effectively for very long river embankments. S-wave velocity and resistivity of the levee soils obtained with geophysical surveys are used to classify the soils. The classification is based on a physical soil model, called the unconsolidated sand model. Using this model, a soil profile along the river embankment is constructed from S-wave velocity and resistivity profiles. The soil profile thus obtained has been verified by geotechnical logs, which proves its usefulness for investigation of a river embankment.

  • 경사진 밀폐 공간에서 마주 보는 두 벽면의 온도 차로 인하여 발생되는 자연 대류 현상은 여러 공학 분야에서 볼 수 있는 중요한 열전달 현상으로서, 최근 들어 평판형 태양열 집열기를 설계하려는 사람들에게 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 평판형 태양열 집열기의 경우 덮개판으로 부터의 대류 열손실을 감소시킴으로서 집열 효율을 높일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 사용목적에 따라 소형 집열기를 제작할 수 있어 경제적으로 유리하게 될 것이다. 밀폐된 공간에서 최초에 정지 상태에 있는 얇은 유체층을 하부에서 가열시켜 주면 열팽창 현상이 일어나고, 이것에 의한 부력이 점도나 열전도도 등의 안정화 요인을 극복할 수 있을 정도로 커지면 System이 불안정하게 되어 자연 대류 현상이 수반되며 이 때문에 열전달율이 급격히 증가하게 된다. 이러한 현상의 지배 방정식은 연립 비선형 편미분 방정식으로 특수한 경계 조건외에는 일반적으로 해석적 해를 구하기가 어렵기 때문에 실험적 연구가 많이 실시되어 왔고 이들 결과의 대부분은 전반적인 열전달 특성치만을 구하는데 집중되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 수치 해석법의 하나인 유한 차분법을 도입하여 이차원으로 가정한 경사진 평판형 밀폐 공간에서의 자연 대류 현상의 지배 방정식을 유한 차분화시켜, $$2.74{\times}10^3\leq_-Gr\leq_-2.0{\times}10^6$$, Pr=0.73, $$15^{\circ}\leq_-a\leq_-150^{\circ}$$, 종횡비는 1, 2, 3, 5, 9에 대하여 정상 상태에서의 해를 구하면서 수치적으로 실험하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결론을 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 해석적으로 구하기 어려운 경사진 밀폐 공간에서 자연대류현상의 지배 방정식을 유한 차분법으로 해결할 수 있으며, 대류항과 확산항을 따로 고려한 유한차분법이 효과적임을 확인하였다. (2) 저온과 고온 벽면에서의 온도를 각각 균일하게 놓고 단변으로 이루어진 벽면은 완전히 절연되어 있는 경우에 대하여 수치해를 구한결과, 이전의 해석적 및 실험적 결과와 일치하였으며, 시간의 경과에 따른 온도 및 유선의 변화를 현상학적으로 관찰할 수 있었다. (3) 평균 열전달 계수에 미치는 경사각의 효과를 살펴본 결과 종횡비가 1 인 경우 경사각이 $45^{\circ}$에서, 종횡비가 2, 3, 5, 9인 경우 경사각이 $60^{\circ}$에서 각각 평균 열전달 계수 최대치가 나타났다. (4) Ra수(Rayleigh number) 가 증가될수록, 경사각에 상관없이 평균 열전달 계수도 증가되었다. 한편 Ra수 및 경사각의 변화에 따라 종횡비가 증가될수록 평균 열전달 계수는 경사각이 $90^{\circ}$인 경우를 제외하고는 감소됨을 볼 수 있었다. 경사각이 $90^{\circ}$인 경우, 평균 열전달 계수는 종횡비가 2 인 곳에서 최대치를 얻을 수 있었으며, 종횡비가 계속 증가될수록 평균 열전달 계수는 점차 감소되어짐을 볼 수 있었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine and compare prostate size using ultrasound and computed tomography (CT). The prostate gland was evaluated in eight normal Beagle dogs. Length, depth, and width of the prostate gland were measured by ultrasound and volume of the prostate was obtained from the two ellipsoid formula (US1, US2). Height, length, width, area, and volume of the prostate gland were measured by CT. Ratios of prostatic height, length, and width to the sixth lumbar vertebral body length were calculated. There was no significant difference between the US1 and US2 method, and between US2 and CT method, respectively. The prostatic volume calculated by US1 method was significantly lower than those with CT (p=0.029). The Upper limits of ratios of prostate length, height, and width to the length of the sixth lumbar vertebra were 1.3, 1.1, and 1.7, respectively. Among these prostate dimensions, prostate length and height could be a useful index in estimating prostate size regardless of body weight.
