In order to assess the on-site applicability of 3D absolute displacement monitoring of tunnel using digital photogrammetry, the displacement of the optical target placed at the measurement section was investigated, as planned in the OO tunnel construction site. The targets on 3 measurement lines only were considered for each point of measurement for the reconstruction of 3D cubic model for the digital vision monitoring. For each 3D model, 3 or more images have to be obtained at each point. On the last 2 measurement lines, 6 targets (crown, left and right walls) were continuously overlapped to construct 3D models so that 6 or more apices can be shared by 2 3D models. In order to compare the measurement methods of 3D absolute displacements in tunnel excavation, i. e, total station and digital image measurement, both the digital image measurement and optical measurement were conducted for 10 times in the same work section. The time and measurement results of both methods were compared.

numerical model is developed to estimate gas flow in the landfill site. Darcy's law, the mass conservation law, and the ideal gas state equation are combined to compose the governing equation for the steady-state and transient-state gas flows. The finite element method (FEM) is used as the numerical solution scheme. Two-dimensional radial symmetric triangular ring element is used to discretize the simulation domain. The steady state model developed in this study is compared with AIRFLOW that is a commercial model developed by Hydrologic Inc. Mass balance test is performed on the transient gas flow simulation. The developed model is applied to analyze the gas extraction experiment performed by Daewoo Institute of Construction Technology at the Nanjido landfill in 1993. The developed model was registered at Korea Computer Program Protection Foundation.

This study evaluated the injection rate and the injection efficiency of the artificial recharge in the upper drought-prone watershed region, where the remaining water was used for injection, by using a numerical model to secure water during a drought. As a result of a numerical model under the condition of diverse injection rates per a well and hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer, the optimal injection rate per a well was estimated as 50.0 ㎥/day, and the injection efficiency was simulated as 33.2% to 81.2% of the total injection volume. As the injection time was shorter, the injection efficiency tented to increase non-linearly. As the injection rate increased, the residual storage in aquifer increased and available groundwater amount also increased, which could be advantageous for drought relief. For a more accurate assessment of injection efficiency, the model will be validated using the field injection data and optimum scenarios will enable the efficient operation of the artificial recharge system in the study area.

In this study, a model was developed for the estimating the locational thickness information of the upper clay layer to be used for the consolidation vulnerability evaluation in the Nakdong river estuary. To estimate ground layer thickness information, we developed four spatial estimation models using machine learning algorithms, which are RF (Random Forest), SVR (Support Vector Regression) and GPR (Gaussian Process Regression), and geostatistical technique such as Ordinary Kriging. Among the 4,712 borehole data in the study area collected for model development, 2,948 borehole data with an upper clay layer were used, and Pearson correlation coefficient and mean squared error were used to quantitatively evaluate the performance of the developed models. In addition, for qualitative evaluation, each model was used throughout the study area to estimate the information of the upper clay layer, and the thickness distribution characteristics of it were compared with each other.

In women, obesity rises with menopause. By comparing the dose-dopendent effects of genistein on regulation of body weight and lipid levels with swimming exercise in female ovariectomized (OVX) mice, an animal model of postmenopausal women, the effective dose of genistein on obesity control was investigated. Ovariectomized female mice were divided into control group, swimming exercise group and genistein concentration (0.005%, 0.05%, 0.1% wt/wt) treatment group and all mice fed high-fat diet for 8 weeks. The three different genistein doses as well as swimming decreased body weight, white adipose tissue mass, plasma lipid levels and lipid accumulation in liver, compared with control OVX mice. These decrease effectiveness of genistein showed dose-dependent manner, and is most effective at 0.1% genistein concentration, and paralleled effects of swimming on body weight, white adipose tissue, plasma lipid levels and lipid accumulation in liver. This present findings indicate that optimal dose of genistein in feamle OVX mice have a similar effect to swimming exercise on improvement of obesity. Intake of dietary genistein supplements will help obesity prevention in postmenopausal women.

The effects of Bulnesia sarmienti water extract on lipid metabolism were investigated in type-1 diabetes rats. The rats were fed a basal diet and B. sarmienti water extract for 8 weeks. The rats were randomly assigned to each treatment group: normal, control, three kinds of treatment group (BWO: 0.45 mg/ml, BW1: 0.9 mg/ml, BW2: 1.8 mg/ml). After 8 weeks of experimental diets consumption, the body weights and food efficiency ratio of B. sarmienti water extract fed groups were not change with those in the control group. The concentration in plasma total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride were significantly decrease in the B. sarmienti water extract groups compared with those in the control group. Although it was not possible to observe blood glucose control effects of eight weeks of B. sarmienti water extract feeds in type-1 diabetes model, it was discovered that the feeds are highly effective in lowering the levels of blood lipid substances triglycerides, total-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol.

This study analyzed the spectral reflectance characteristics of kaolinite and ASTER(Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflectance Radiometer) image to extract the distribution of kaolin mines in Hadong area, Gyeongsangnam-do. The band ratio model was applied to extract kaolinite using difference of wavelength absorption band distinct feature of minerals from ASTER image which is the major mineral of kaolin mines. According to the spectral reflectance curve of kaolinite, it showed the absorption features around 0.96 and $2.18{\mu}m$ by Al-OH. Also, it affected 1.24 and $1.38{\sim}1.41{\mu}m$ by OH. Applying for new band ratio model from the spectral features of kaolinite to ASTER image, it is possible to make the distribution map of mining traces including present- developing kaolin mines.

Dyslipidemia is a representative chronic disease affecting Koreans that requires continuous management. It is also a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease such as hypertension and diabetes. However, it is difficult to diagnose vascular disease without a medical examination. This study identifies risk factors for the recognition and prevention of dyslipidemia. By integrating them, we construct a statistical instrumental nomogram that can predict the incidence rate while visualizing. Data were from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) for 2013-2016. First, a chi-squared test identified twelve risk factors of dyslipidemia. We used a naïve Bayesian classifier model to construct a nomogram for the dyslipidemia. The constructed nomogram was verified using a receiver operating characteristics curve and calibration plot. Finally, we compared the logistic nomogram previously presented with the Bayesian nomogram proposed in this study.

아시아 몬순기후의 영향에 의해 우리나라는 2020년 7월부터 9월까지 약 90일간의 장마로 인해 크고 작은 수재해가 발생하였다. 특히, 안성, 충주, 음성 그리고 곡성 등에서 인명피해가 발생하였으며, 그 외 13개소에서 많은 재산 피해가 발생하였다. 2020년 산사태/토석류 재해로 인한 전국적인 피해액은 약 3,900억으로 보고되고 있으며, 매년 집중호우에 의해 피해 양상이 변하고, 도시지역에서의 발생이 빈번하게 늘고 있다. 집중호우에 의한 산사태/토석류 전이 피해를 저감시키기 위해서는 발생 물질이 어디까지 이동할 수 있는지에 대한 위험범위확산에 대한 연구가 중요하며, 이런 연구를 기반으로 인명피해를 줄이기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 천수방정식, 유변학특성 식 그리고 연행침식 식을 조합하여 개발된 적응형 격자기반 2차원 토석류 모델을 이용하여 안성, 음성 그리고 단성지역에서 발생했었던 산사태/토석류 전이 피해 양상을 해석하였다. 산사태 발생 후 2~3일 이내에 지표 지질 및 지형 조사를 실시하였으며, UAV 및 항공사진을 이용하여 산사태 및 토석류의 형태를 맵핑하였다. 지질 및 지형조사 시 간이 Vein tester를 이용하여 야외에서 토양 물성관련 자료를 취득하였으며, 토석류의 이동 흔적(나무 등에의 토석류 타격 흔적)을 이용하여 조사지점에서의 최대 토석류 흐름 깊이를 추정하였다. 정확한 토석류의 유속에 대한 자료 부족으로 2011년 우면산에서 발생한 약 26m/s의 속도를 이용하여 토석류의 흐름 특성을 계산하였다. 이와 더불어 연행침식의 계산을 위해 발생지점 부터 토석류가 퇴적된 하류부까지 기반암의 노출 및 퇴적 정보를 통해 최대 침식 깊이를 추정하여 입력자료로 활용하였다. 토석류 맵핑자료와 비교 결과 정확도가 90%이상으로 나타났으며, 토석류 발생 후 안성 200초, 음성 180초 그리고 단성 180초 이내로 토석류가 하류까지 이동할 수 있는 것으로 계산되었다. 본 연구와 같이 산사태/토석류 발생 메커니즘 해석에 대한 지속적인 연구를 통해 산지 재해에 의한 인명 피해를 줄일 수 있는 토석류확산범위 해석에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Due to recent climate change, continuous soil loss is occurring in the mountainous watershed. The development of geographic information systems allows the spatial simulation of soil loss through hydrological models, but more researches applied to the mountain watershed areas in Korea are needed. In this study, prior to simulating the soil loss characteristics of the mountainous watershed, the field monitoring and the SWAT and GeoWEPP models were used to simulate and analyze the rainfall and runoff characteristics in the mountainous watershed area of Jirisan National Park. As a result of monitoring, runoff showed a characteristic of a rapid response as rainfall increased and decreased. In the simulation runoff results of calibrated SWAT models, R², RMSE and NSE was 0.95, 0.03, and 0.95, respectively. The runoff simulation results of the GeoWEPP model were evaluated as 0.89, 0.30, and 0.83 for R², RMSE, and NSE, respectively. These results, therefore, imply that the runoff simulated through SWAT and GeoWEPP models can be used to simulate soil loss. However, the results of the two models differ from the parameters and base flow of actual main channel, and further consideration is required to increase the model's accuracy.
