This Study was conducted to predict temperature profile of Jangjorim (boiled beef in soy sauce) food during retorting using the commercial NISA (Numerical Integrated Elements for System Analysis) program. NISA program is a good tool to simulate the temperature profile of a specific material based upon the finite element method. The cold point of Jangjorim food located not at the geometrical center but at 26.9 mm backward in y plane because specific heat of soy sauce was 20% higher than that of boiled beef. The effects of heat transfer coefficients on heat transfer during retorting process of Jangjorim were analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). Independent variables were thermal conductivity of soy sauce, thermal conductivity of boiled beef, and convection heat transfer coefficient and dependent variables were temperature error and lethality error. Thermal conductivity of soy sauce was the most significant contributor among those (P<0.01).

The population over 65 years old is 12.7% of total population in 2014 and Korea is going to be an aged society in the near future. The transportation vulnerable including the aged should be guaranteed in walking mobility under safe and comfortable environment for their socio-economic activities. For the era of fusion and convergence this paper investigated the characteristics of walking accidents related to the aged pedestrians and analyzed the aged-oriented walking factors with a reaction time and a walking speed at crosswalks in Yeosu. In the results, the crashes for the aged occur at 9.9% of total crashes and the fatalities of the aged are 40.3% of total fatalities in 2014. The 47.4% of the aged fatalities is also attributed to vehicle-to-pedestrian accidents. The 49.3% of all pedestrian fatalities occurs at the aged pedestrians with a very high proportion. The reaction time and walking speed for the aged were determined as the values located at the lower 15%-tile of the elderly physical ability. It is shown that the reaction time is 4.56 seconds and the walking speed is 0.76 m/s in the case of Yeosu. From two factors' standpoint, the walking environment at crosswalks in Yeosu is inappropriate for the aged.

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of soil solarization at the Nonsan Strawberry Experiment Station, Korea in 2006 and 2008. In in vitro tests, exposure times to achieve an $LD_{100}$ of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae were 6.6 days and 5.1 days at $45^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. A 100% lethal temperature was $46.7{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ for the same fungus. For field trials, solarization was conducted during the summer season using polyethylene mulch in a plastic house. The organic matter+calcium cyanamide+solarization treatment increased pH, organic matter, and calcium content compared to those before treatment in soil analysis, but no effect had an urea+solarization treatment. The temperatures at 10 cm depth were different in each treatment and the highest temperature was recorded from July 30 to August 10. The average temperature in organic matter+calcium cyanamide+solarization treatment at 10 cm depth was $3{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ higher than that in all the other treatments. All solarization treatments reduced the soil population of F. oxysporum f. sp. fragariae at 100% in 2008 relative to the non-treated control. All solarization treatments reduced Fusarium wilt incidence to 0% in 2006 and 2008. The effect of organic matter+calcium cyanamide+solarization against F. oxysporum f. sp. fragariae indicates that there may be future alternatives to traditional solarization for disease control as well as reducing the time needed.

Electromagnetic wave may induce effect and damage on the bio-body, either by electric fields of magnetic fields. We measure electrophysiological changs in rabbit's brain exposed to 2.45GHz micro wave(power density 40mW/cm$^2$) which distance 30cm from the source. In order to process the bio-electrical signal (EEG), used pre-amplifier module with self-made and Digtal analyzer computer system. Spectal analysis of the EEG showed variable power in the frequency range(1～30Hz) through each exposure time(10min, 20min, 30min) before and after. In effectively measured by the bio-electrical signal processing and can found threshold of minmal permissible exposure and lethal exposure.

Providing visual field for a driver is one of the most important things for safe driving. Therefore, it will be a first step fur the safe driving that the driver recognizes front and back outside scenes within short time in the car. Specially, it is essential to take the visual field in frequently foggy area where the traffic accident can cause highest rank in the number of deaths. In this paper, our technique can provide the visual field by displaying the location of neighboring vehicles on the monitoring system, embedded board navigator in the car, using the location information of the vehicles from GPS(Global Positioning System) in real time. It is expected that this system can contribute to help safe driving and to lower collision accidents by guiding to cope with unexpected circumstances.

Road conditions and weather conditions are very important factors in the case of traffic accident fatalities in fog and ice sections that occur on roads in winter. In this paper, a simulation was performed to estimate the traffic accident risk rate assuming traffic accident prediction data. In addition, in this paper, in order to reduce traffic accidents and prevent traffic accidents, factor analysis and traffic accident fatality rates were predicted using the WEKA data mining technique and TENSOR FLOW open source data on traffic accident fatalities provided by the Korea Transportation Corporation.

Objective: The purposes of the present study were to investigate the effect of ${\gamma}$-radiation on the expression of inhibin-${\alpha}$ proteins and genes for inhibin ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}A$, and ${\beta}B$ in the ovary. Methods: Immature mice were whole-body ${\gamma}$-irradiated with 25% of a lethal dose. At time 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after the irradiation, the ovaries were collected and used for immunohistochemistry for inhibin-${\alpha}$, and RT_PCR for inhibin-${\alpha}$, ${\beta}A$, and ${\beta}B$. Results: The expression of the immunoreactive inhibins-${\alpha}$ was maintained at 12 hours post-irradiation and reduced thereafter. The expression of inhibin-${\alpha}$ mRNA was significantly increased with the time after the irradiation. However there were no significant changes in the expression of ${\beta}A$ and ${\beta}B$ mRNAs. Conclusion: It might be thought that inhibin acts as one of the regulatory factors in the ${\gamma}$-radiation-induced follicular atresia in mice

Quantitative structure-toxicity relationships (QSTRs) between various physicochemical parameters of substituents in new herbicidal N-phenyl-3,4-dimethylphthalimide derivatives and their discriminate score (DS) for chronic and acute toxicities against mouse and rat evaluated using TOPKAT calculation were discussed quantitatively. From the basis on the findings, it was shown that carcinogenicities of female was higher than that of male and mouse had higher tendency than rat. The STR analyses results of Hansch-Fujita type equations suggested that mouse (female & male) and rat male except rat female are dependent on LUMO energy commonly in carcinogenicity. The selective carcinogenicity factor of two species between male mouse and female mouse is dependent on optimal value (ca. $(L)_{opt.}=5.0{\AA}$) for length of $R_2$-substituent mainly. According to Free-Wilson approach, in the case of rat male, alkyl and aryl substituents were superior and in the other case, contribution of fluoro group substituents were superior to chronic toxicity.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been identified as a peptide growth factor specific for vascular endothelial cells. In this study, we examined the effect of VEGF on radiation induced apoptosis and receptor/second messenger signal transduction pathway for VEGF effect in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). VEGF was found to protect HUVECs against the lethal effects of ionizing radiation by inhibiting the apoptosis induced in these cells by radiation exposure. VEGF (1-30 ng/ml) dose dependently inhibited apoptosis by irradiation. Pre-treatment with Flt-1 and Flk-l/KDR receptor blocked the VEGF-in duced antiapoptotic effect. Phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3-kinase) specific inhibitor, Wortman in and LY294002, blocked the VEGF-induced antiapoptotic effect. These data suggest that VEGF may play an important role in survival of HUVECs due to the prevention of apoptotic cell death caused by some stresses such as ionizing radiation.
