등대는 일반적으로 해양에 돌출한 섬, 곶 등 육지와 해상이 만나는 곳 끝단에 설치되지만, 묵호·주문진등대의 경우 내륙 안쪽에 위치하여 주변 주거지역 건축으로 인해 항로표지 기능 효율 저하로 인한 항로표지 기능검토 민원커리 사례가 발생하여 이에 따른 민원처리 방안 및 해결방안 제안한다.

선박의 길잡이 역할을 하고 있는 항로표지는 해상에서 서식하고 있는 갈매기, 가마우지 등 조류의 좋은 쉼터가 되고 있다. 해상의 조류는 이러한 쉼터에서 먹잇감을 찾거나 배설을 하는 습성이 있으며, 이는 항로표지 기능을 저해하는 문제점을 낳고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 우리나라뿐만 아니라 세계 각국에서는 수년간 조류퇴치 방법에 대한 연구 및 실험을 통하여 다양한 방법을 도입 시도하고 있으나, 문제점을 해소하는 데에 실패하거나, 기대했던 바에는 크게 미치지 못하고 있다. 여기에서는 그간 도입된 방법을 재시도 하거나, 새로운 방법을 고안하고 현장실험을 시행하여 조류퇴치 효과 여부에 대하여 알아보았다.

등부표는 태양광발전을 이용한 독립형 전력계통시스템으로 일사량과 표면온도에 의한 태양광 발전효율 저하에 따른 등명기 소등 또는 광력 미약으로 항로표지에 대한 신뢰성 확보에 대한 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 일부 항로표지용 고효율 충방전조절기 제품이 개발되고 있으나 "항로표지 장비 용품 표준화 규정"의 항로표지용 충방전조절기 표준규격(제3조3호)이 제정고시 되어 충방전조절기의 기능 및 성능개선을 추진할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 개정된 충방전조절기의 표준규격의 성능을 만족하고 상용화가 가능한 구조기술을 개발하였다.

본 연구에서는 연령증가에 따라 운전에 필요한 신체적, 인지적 능력의 변화가 어떻게 나타나는지 설문을 통해 분석하고, 이것이 교통안전 시설물(신호기, 노면표시, 도로표지판)의 필요성 및 적정성을 평가하는 것과 어떤 관계가 있는 지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 20세 이상 운전면허 소지자를 대상으로 5개 권역, 500명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이를 분석하였다. 운전능력에 대한 자기평가 점수는 종합적 능력, 개별능력(시력, 청력, 색채식별 등) 모두 연령이 증가함에 따라 점수가 낮아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 시력은 연령증가에 따른 감소폭이 크고, 절대적인 평균점수가 다른 항목에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 시력의 경우 타 신체적, 인지적 능력에 비해 운전 중 기능의 저하에 따른 체감도가 크기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 설문결과에 따른 분류분석을 통해서는 신체적, 인지적 기능의 저하가 시작되는 연령이 기존의 고령운전자로 판단하는 65세 보다 낮은 48세로 분석되었다. 이것은 연령증가에 따른 기능 저하로 인한 영향을 받는 운전자가 그렇지 않은 운전자보다 더 많다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 시설물에 대한 필요성 인식에 대한 평가 역시 운전능력에서 차이를 나타내는 연령대에서 인식의 차이가 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

According to the development of Intelligent Transportation System technology, VMS(Variable Message Signs) are operating on highway. But, VMS display information which don't reflect traffic condition and driver's human factor. So driver can't read VMS message during limited time, it makes to reduce VMS's reliability. This paper presents a model for VMS message reading time and distance considering traffic condition and human factor. We built driving simulator by Winroad package which is able to copy real driving condition. Subjects were comprised of 20 people who reflect domestic driver's condition such as sex. We did regression analysis with experiment results and draw the model. The model could be possible to develop message- set considering traffic condition and human factor.

Increased oxidative stress by abnormal mitochondrial function can damage cell signal transduction and gene expression, and induce insulin resistance or diabetes. Autophagy, however, improve insulin resistance by clearance of malfunctioning mitochondria. Exercise also recovers the muscle dysfunction and degeneration by activating mitochondrial biogenesis. As it seems that exercise and autophagy might act as an orchestrated network to induce mitochondrial biogenesis, we investigated whether autophagy is involved in AMPK signal pathway stimulated by exercise or AICAR to increase mitochondrial biogenesis. And it showed that PGC-1 and mtTFA, but not autophagy marker LC3 mRNA expression were significantly increased by 6 hr of acute exercise. On the other hand, PGC-1 and mtTFA mRNA expression were upregulated by AICAR treatment to C2C12 myotube. However these genes were not inhibited by LC3 siRNA transfection. These results provide the evidence that autopahgy affects on mitochondrial biogenesis through different signal pathway from AMPK signal transduction.

Serum amylase is a representative enzyme secreted by the salivary gland and pancreas. This study investigates the clinical significance of serum amylase levels in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Totally, 70 female subjects were enrolled, who were diagnosed as SS and had no accompanying afflictions that affected the serum amylase levels. Unstimulated salivary flow rate (U-SFR) and stimulated SFR (S-SFR), salivary gland scan, and disease activity markers (ESSDAI and ESSPRI), as well as blood tests including ESR, CRP, and amylase, were evaluated. Serum amylase showed significant positive correlation with the U-SFR and S-SFR, and was increased with higher ejection fraction (EF) of the parotid gland. However, there was no significant correlation with disease activity and inflammatory markers. Based on their average amylase levels, subjects were divided into two groups. The group with higher serum amylase levels showed a statistically significant increase in the S-SFR and EF of the parotid gland. Considering the results of the salivary gland scan, we conclude that serum amylase is significantly correlated with SFR and the EF of the parotid gland, thereby indicating that the salivary gland function remains intact in SS.

As the number of exchange in various fields between countries increases, the number of international conference increases. Many students study simultaneous interpretation due to the increased demand of simultaneous interpretation. Since simultaneous interpretation requires a lot of learning time, students majoring in translation perform the self learning. The paper based sight translation training system is a representative self learning method, but backtracking decreases the efficiency of self learning and it requires the help of the partner. To improve the learning efficiency, computer based sight translation training system has been proposed. However, since students uses the computer based sight translation training system only in a fixed area due to low mobility of computer, the utilization of the system decreases. In this paper, smart device based sight translation training system has been proposed to increase the utilization of the proposed system. Since smart device has lower computing capabilities than the computer, we have proposed algorithms to deal with the low performance. We implement and evaluate the functionalities of the proposed training system.

Students studying interpretation perform additional study and training in addition to regular class. In simultaneous interpreting and consecutive interpreting, interpreter should memorize speaker's announcement because of different language structure. To improve short-term memory, students perform memory training that requires a pair of students. Therefore, they can not perform self-learning, and therefore, efficiency of studying decreases. To resolve this problem, computer based short-term memory training system has been proposed. Student can perform self-learning by changing words in text to special character in the training system. However, efficiency of studying decreases because computer has low portability. Since the number of words is larger than the number of words to be switched into special character, learning difficulty decreases. To resolve this problem, smart device based short-term memory training system has been proposed. Student can perform smart device based training system without space constraints. Since the proposed training system increases the number of words to be changed into special character, learning difficulty increases. We implemented and evaluated the functionalities of the proposed training system.

We investigated the effects of testosterone on the improvement of white adipose tissue explant and its molecular mechanism in adipose tissue of high fat diet-fed male castrated (CAST) mice. The CAST mice treated with testosterone had lower adipose tissue weights, the average size of adipocytes and mRNA levels of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ as well as adipocyte marker genes than the vehicle-treated CAST mice. These results suggest that testosterone prevent the expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$-mediated adipocyte marker genes, resulting in decreased adipose tissue mass and adipocyte metabolism in male CAST mice. Moreover, this study give a valuable molecular and biological knowledge on testosterone therapy in obese hypogonadal men.
