This paper specifically discusses the risk assessment on the pesticide residues in vegetables collected from traditional markets, big marts and departments in the southern part of Seoul. Vegetable samples were 6,583 cases from January to December in 2009. Monte-Carlo simulation was used to calculate the uncertainty for the risk index using pesticide residues, average dietary intake for vegetables and acceptable daily intake. Deterministic risk indexes were 7.33% of diethofencarb, 5.13% of indoxacarb, 3.96% of EPN, 3.92% of diniconazole and 3.09% of chlorothalonil, respectively. And other pesticides were below 3%. Distributions of risk indexes obtained by the Monte-Carlo simulations were similar to the deterministic values, even though the confidence intervals for 95% were very wide. We confirmed that health risks caused by eating vegetables exceeded maximum residue limits of pesticide are very low and the population is generally safe, judging from the risk indexes located between 0.07 to 9.49%.

Various studies have been conducted using microtraffic simulation (VISSIM) to analyze the safety of traffic flow when introducing autonomous vehicles. However, no studies have analyzed traffic safety in mixed traffic while considering the driving behavior of general vehicles as a parameter in VISSIM. Therefore, the aim of this study was to optimize the input variables of VISSIM for non-autonomous vehicles through genetic algorithms to obtain realistic behavior. A traffic safety analysis was then performed according to the penetration rate of autonomous vehicles. In a 640 meter section of US highway I-101, the number of conflicts was analyzed when the trailing vehicle was a non-autonomous vehicle. The total number of conflicts increased until the proportion of autonomous vehicles exceeded 20%, and the number of conflicts decreased continuously after exceeding 20%. The number of conflicts between non-autonomous vehicles and autonomous vehicles increased with proportions of autonomous vehicles of up to 60%. However, there was a limitation in that the driving behavior of autonomous vehicles was based on the results of the literature and did not represent actual driving behavior. Therefore, for a more accurate analysis, future studies should reflect the actual driving behavior of autonomous vehicles.

EPLA 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘은 IEEE 802.22 WRAN 시스템의 실시간 트래픽 전송 지원을 위한 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘으로 참고문헌[4]으로 제안되었다. 패킷 기반 무선 전송 시스템에서 실시간 트래픽의 경우 짧은 데이터 유효 시간을 가지며, 만약 데이터 유효 시간이 초과할 경우 실시간 트래픽 데이터로써의 가치를 상실하기 때문에 시스템에서는 해당패킷을 전송하지 않고 제거해 버린다. 그러므로 실시간 트래픽의 중요한 서비스 품질(QoS) 인자인 요구된 패킷 손실율을 보장하기 위해서는 실시간 트래픽의 데이터 유효 시간을 고려하여 자원을 할당하여야 한다. 기존의 패킷 스케쥴링 알고리즘들은 많은 경우 큐의 맨 앞에 위치한 패킷의 지연 시간을 고려하지만 EPLA는 패킷이 저장되는 큐 내의 다음 프레임에서 제거 될 것으로 예상되는패킷의 손실양을 고려하여 자인을 할당함으로 기존의 실시간 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘에 비해 훨씬 좋은 성능을 보인다. 하지만 EPLA는 예상되는 패킷 손실양을 계간하기 위해서 모든 사용자의 큐에 저장된 패킷들을 확인해야하므로 높은 복잡도를 가지는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 사용자로부터 피드백 받은 부채널의 상태 정보를 기반으로 사용자 큐를 확인하여 횟수를 제한함으로써 패킷 손실을 성능의 손실 없이 복잡도를 줄이는 간단한 방법을 제안하고, 실시간 트래픽인 음성 트래픽과 비디오 트래픽에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 이를 확인한다.

댐의 중요 구성요소 중 하나인 여수로 구조물은 관행적으로 단위길이당 100m³/s 정도의 유량이 흐를 수 있도록 설계를 하고, 이를 초과할 때는 여수로 구조물에 피해가 가지 않도록 공기혼입 장치를 설치하거나 콘크리트의 설계강도를 증가시키는 대책을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다(댐설계 기준·해설, 2011) 그러나 건설된 지 오래된 댐의 경우 여수로 콘크리트 구조물의 설계강도가 낮고(최저 16.7MPa) 수문방류 횟수가 많아 최근에 건설된 댐 여수로 보다 상대적으로 많은 손상이 발생되어 있어 잦은 보수보강이 요구되고, 점차 유지관리 비용이 증대되고 있어 노후된 여수로 구조물일수록 기능을 유지하면서도 유지관리 비용을 절감할 수 있는 방안의 수립이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 𐩒𐩒𐩒댐 여수로를 대상으로 2020년 홍수기 전·후의 여수로 바닥슬래브의 손상상태를 3D드론 매핑, 육안조사 및 내구성 조사결과 등을 이용한 정밀분석을 통해 수문방류시 여수로 바닥슬래브에 가장 큰 손상을 일으키는 손상메커니즘으로 유수에 의한 부상(uplift)에 의한 파손 메커니즘(Flow-driven uplift failure mechanism)을 제시하였으며, 여수로 바닥슬래브의 가장 일반적 손상원인으로 간주되고 있는 공동현상(cavitation)이 공동지수(cavitation index)가 0.3이상인 경우에도 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 관찰 및 분석결과는 보다 많은 사례를 통하여 보완될 경우 향후 여수로 구조물의 설계 뿐만 아니라 보수보강 방법이나 유지관리, 더나아가서는 종합적 댐시설물 자산관리 계획을 수립하는데 매우 유용한 자산이 될 수 있다.

Background : The length of postoperative drug therapy remains controversial in pulmonary tuberculosis. We analyzed our experiences to determine the postoperative duration of chemotherapy after resection. Method : A retrospective review was performed in 66 of 95 patients that underwent pulmonary resection for pulmonary tuberculosis between January 1993 and December 1998. We compared the relapse rates according to the length of postoperative chemotherapy in each group, classified by the results of sputum AFB culture before the surgery, the number of resistant drugs, the number of prior treatment and the division of anti-TB drugs used postoperatively. Results : Fifty three of 66(80.3%) were men and 13(19.7%) were women with a median age of 33.5 years(range, 16 to 63). The mean lengths of the pre- and post-operative chemotherapies were 4.9 months, and 12.9 months respectively. Five of 66 patients (7.6%) relapsed during the mean period of follow up (39.7 months). In the group less than three times of the prior treatment, there were two relapses (20%) in Ed-the highlight above-rephrase 10 patients that were medicated for 6 months or less, and one relapse in 43 patients (2.3%) that took medicine for more than 6 months (p=0.03). In the group using second-line drugs postoperatively, there was one relapse (25%) in four patients that were medicated for 12 months or less. No patient in a total of 17 that received medicine for more than 12 months relapsed (p=0.03). Conclusion : We recommend that patients with the prior treatment less than three times should be treated for more than 6 months after resection and patients using the second-line drugs postoperatively should be medicated for more than 12 months.

Objective: To understand the experience of medical accidents and disputes according to clinical career of dental hygienists. Methods: A self-administrated questionnaire survey was conducted from May 2012 to June 2012 targeting 313 dental hygienists in Gyeongsangnam-do, Republic of Korea. Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, χ2-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0. Results: 1) The group who had more than 6 years of clinical experience experienced complaints from patients (70.3%) and dental hygienists duty (30.7%); 2) Complaints were related to diagnosis, dental treatment instruments and materials, scaling, impression preparation, and prosthodontics. Pediatric patients had significantly more complaints compared to other patients. Overall, there were more frequent cases in the group with over 6 years of clinical career; 3) For the psychological state after experiencing patients' complaints, 'the process is difficult, but I forget after thinking it could be happen' had 160 respondents. Among them, 38.1% had clinical experience of more than 6 years, 37.5% had less than 3 years, and 24.4% had clinical career of 3~6 years; 4) About 73.6% of those had 3~6 years of clinical career answered that 'sometimes it is doubtful' on the issue of medical accidents and conflicts on prevention education of dental hygienists that 'there is a doubt about the issue of medical treatment or the occurrence of disputes'. About 60.0% of those who had less than 3 years of clinical experience answered that it was highly 'necessary but not urgent' on the necessity of preventive education, while 87.1% of those who had more than 6 years of clinical career answered that it was highly 'necessary but not urgent' on the necessity of preventive education. The difference between the two was not statistically significant. Conclusions: It is necessary and urgent to provide education related to prevention and countermeasures against malpractice disputes for dental hygienists.

New Opening of Suseo-Pyeongteak High Speed Railway (HSR) will be a new leap in the Korean railway history. However if this section of HSR line around Seoul Metropolitan Area opens, the confluence of new HSR and existing HSR line in Pyeongteak-Osong section will cause a bottle neck problem. In other words, the opening of Suseo-Pyeongteak HSR line will make the capacity of track reach the limit and the section of railroad between Pyeongteak and Osong will be saturated. This will also make such troubles as restricting the number of train which stops at Cheonan-Asan station. In this study, based on the train assignment theory of TVM430 signal system, the methods of calculating headway and number of train are reviewed and the plan for application of optimal operation pattern during peak hour between Pyeongteak-Osong section is also suggested. To remove the bottle neck problem in this HSR section, 3 alternatives are suggested and the expected effects and problems of each alternative are also analyzed. The results show that the troubles caused by excess of track capacity can be removed without any additional cost if the minimum headway in operating system for HSR is adopted in this section. In the future, if these alternatives are considered to the long-term plan for operating train and signal systems, this will improve the efficiency of train operation, which can remove the bottle neck in the HSR line.

The railway service in the Seoul metropolitan area is facing variety of l changes such as extension of service coverage, new construction, and introduction of express service which in turn causes changes on demands. The demand affects train operation characteristics (frequency of service, train formation) as well as on the congestion rate which is one of the major evaluation index in metropolitan area user service. For the efficient operation of the train, the relationship among the minimization of fleet number, operating cost, and service level has been analyzed. Using the Powersim, which is a system dynamics (System Dynamics) simulation program for realizing optimized simulation for train-formation, this paper identified that some stations of Gyeong-bu line exceeded limit congestion rate(150%) of a fleet already that means it is best to maintain current condition of the line; however, the Gyeong-in line and the Gwa-chon line showed no excess of the limit congestion rate so that it is possible to reduce 2-4 fleets of train for efficient operation. In addition, in case of Jang-hang line between Cheon-an and Sin-chang, a train consisting of 10 fleets provides services which is same formation of train for Gyeong-bu line. This study proved that the congestion rate will not rise greatly with only 4 fleets of a train for the service in Jang-hang line, and it is considered that a study for shuttle service between Cheon-an and Sin-chang is necessary.

This study was carried out to investigate the current status of pesticide residues in 3,988 agricultural products in the northern area of Seoul from January to December in 2009. 3,988 samples comprising 109 types of agricultural products were assessed via a multiresidue method to detect 272 pesticides. Pesticide residues were detected in 25.6% (1,021 of 3,988 samples), and the rate at which the detected residues violated the maximum residue levels (MRLs) of the Korean Food Code was 2.2% (89 of 3,988 samples). The agricultural products which exceeded their maximum residue limits were leek, ginseng, welsh onion, crown daisy and lettuce (leaf). Additionally, the most frequently detected pesticide that exceeded the regulation maximum was endosulfan, procymidone, tolclofos-methyl, iprodione and flutolanil.
