The purpose of this study was to analyse the properties of leisure activity and the life satisfaction in the case of Korea Science Academy(KSA) students and Min Jok Leadership Academy(MLA) students. The participants consisted of KSA students(male:122, female:44) and MLA students(male:71, female:113) with voluntary consent. We had achieved the following results. 1) For leisure activity, KSA and MLA's male students showed the highest ratio for participation in the sports, KSA's female students in the taste-culture activity and MLA's female students in the sight-seeing. 2) The response showed that stress treatment was the principal reason of leisure activity's need. 3) Over 50% of the male students were satisfied with the present leisure activity but 12% of the KSA male students and 14% of the MLA female 14% answered to the "unsatisfactory" or "very unsatisfactory". 4) Mental stress treatment showed the highest ratio in the response to the question asking the principal straight motive of leisure activity. 5) 75$\sim$80% students considered the leisure activity as an important means to maintain health and physical fitness. 6) Though most students participated in the activities with friends, 30% of the students answered that they participate by themselves. 7) It was shown that 51% and 40% of KSA male and female students, 40% of MLA male students and 48% of MLA female students participated in leisure Activity planlessly. 8) The average leisure time of the most students was less than 2 hours a day and Male students were observed to have more leisure time than female, and KSA students to have more time than MLA students. 9) In weekdays, KSA's male students enjoyed mostly the sport for leisure activity, but taste-culture activity showed the highest ratio in the case of MLA students and KSA female students. 10) In the case of male students, 38% of KSA and 54% students of MLA did not play computer game at all, and 70% of the female students in total did not play computer game. Also, the proper control-method was in need because the result showed that KSA's male students spent more time in playing computer game than MLA's male students did. 61% of KSA female students and 53% of MLA female students answered that they did not play compute game at all during weekends. Whereas It showed that 26% of KSA male students played computer game over 3 hours during weekends. 11) The biggest reason for being unable to participate in the leisure activity was the insufficiency of time due to homework or studying for quiz. The laziness also showed high percentage of 19$\sim$25% varying between the groups. 12) The life satisfaction of KSA male students was visibly higher(p<.05) than that of MLA male students but the significantly difference wasn't shown in the case of female students.

As the security of personal information is becoming more important in mobile phones, we are starting to apply iris recognition technology to these devices. In conventional iris recognition, magnified iris images are required. For that, it has been necessary to use large magnified zoom & focus lens camera to capture images, but due to the requirement about low size and cost of mobile phones, the zoom & focus lens are difficult to be used. However, with rapid developments and multimedia convergence trends in mobile phones, more and more companies have built mega-pixel cameras into their mobile phones. These devices make it possible to capture a magnified iris image without zoom & focus lens. Although facial images are captured far away from the user using a mega-pixel camera, the captured iris region possesses sufficient pixel information for iris recognition. However, in this case, the eye region should be detected for accurate iris recognition in facial images. So, we propose a new fast iris detection method, which is appropriate for mobile phones based on corneal specular reflection. To detect specular reflection robustly, we propose the theoretical background of estimating the size and brightness of specular reflection based on eye, camera and illuminator models. In addition, we use the successive On/Off scheme of the illuminator to detect the optical/motion blurring and sunlight effect on input image. Experimental results show that total processing time(detecting iris region) is on average 65ms on a Samsung SCH-S2300 (with 150MHz ARM 9 CPU) mobile phone. The rate of correct iris detection is 99% (about indoor images) and 98.5% (about outdoor images).

The objective of this study was to investigate the current status of calcium fortification in processed foods for obtaining basic data on nutrition fortification policy and nutrition labeling, Surveyed samples were the products fortified wish calcium among processed products sold in department store and large mart in Seoul from Aug. 1998 to Aug. 1999. But supplementary health food or special nutritious food and weaning food and infant formula were excluded from them. We examined the kinds and numbers of added nutrients except calcium and the amounts of calcium per 100 g product and nutrient labeling of calcium-fortified foods. Surveyed products were 81 foods and they were grouped in grain products, milk and milk products, processed meat and fishes, ramyuns, retort pouch foods, fruit juice and drinks. and others. Calcium fortification was found in wide food groups, especially in snack foods and carbonated beverages. In relation to surveyed products, most of them were fortified with only calcium. The number of added nutrients in the product were relatively various in comparison with each food groups. In addition to calcium, the most frequently added nutrient was DHA, and were followed vitamin, mineral, oligosacchride, fiber, etc. This result showed that the kind(s) and the number(s) of nutrient added to product did not consider nutrition balance of calcium-fortified foods. Units of calcium content were decided by companies, therefore consumers confused labelled content with mouth dose of calcium and the comparison of the amounts added calcium among products was difficult. The amounts of calcium in products were from 16.4 to 1226 mg Per 100 and from 2.5 to 27.6% RDA (recommended daily allowance) per serving size. The amounts of calcium in many products were less than 10% RDA per serving size, whole appraisal about fortified content was needed. And for nutrient labeling on calcium, they used various term whether it is approved by law or not.

This study was conducted to assess effect of thiacloprid fogging on non-target insect communities in Korean white pine forests. In addition, we assessed effect of thiacloprid fogging on mortality of Monochamus saltuarius as a vector of pine wood nematodes, and Apis mellifera as a non-target species. We compared abundance, species richness, and compostion of insects, and mortality of two insects among four treatment groups (control and thiacloprid-fogged groups with 3 different doses) located in the Kangwon National University Forest. For sampling of insects, 6 pitfall and 2 multi-funnel traps and 3 waterproof cloth sheets were placed in each study plot. In addition, M. saltuarius and A. mellifera were put into each meshed cage which installed at 7 m and 15 m heights in center of each study plot. Thiacloprid was fogged only once (middle May) in each plot using a fogging machine. Overall, thiacloprid fogging was appeared to be low toxicity to the abundance, species richness, and compostion of insects and mortality of A. mellifera, while it seems effectively impact on the mortality of M. saltuarius. However, thiacloprid fogging seems more influenced by microclimates in forests because the mortality of M. saltuarius in mesh cages was different according to heights and spatial locations. To control the population density and dispersal of M. saltuarius using by fogging techniques, therefore, it may be necessary to minimize the uncertainty about the effectiveness of thiacloprid fogging by improving the fogging techniques.

The world is preparing another unseen war, that is, the cultural war of digital economy which will dominate the new millenium. As the “contents”, which are composed of various ingredients of media, gain vitality, the developed nations are in preparation of the war with the “cultural industry” weapons. The digital economic experts say that the left out nations will become economic colony in the new millenium age. The most important characteristics of cultural industry is the unity of creativity and culture which is all the more improved on the basis of the culture created upon knowledge. This leads to competition between nations or regions, and to survive one has to develop the industrial structure through cognition of its own cultural value. Furthermore, it is not a short-term development and investment of cultural products but a study on the method to graft the cultural value to the industry itself. The multi-media period does not accept an independent medium, and the contents products are becoming the leading industry since il is proved that they last semi-permanently in the digital world. The victory lies in the quality and quantity of the contents as the high ability and variety of the technology of media advance in accordance to the market principles. Since the culture, science and economy are becoming one complex structure, all nations of the world are trying the evolve a unique design of their on culture on the basis of the global universality. In consequence, we should excavate a uniqueness from our cultural heritage and develop into a korean design which will be recognized in the world market. The value of our cultural property should not only be used as academic and research purposes but should be re-evaluated with modem view, recognized as the core element that decides the quality of life and developed into exclusive designs. The korean designs represent the mould concept of our people which evolves from the mould or shape alphabet of Korea To meet the requirements of the changing world and in preparation of the cultural competitive age, it is never too early to make a data on the korean designs through their analysis and evaluation.

태양열 발전 플랜트에 사용되는 중고온 범위의 축열조에 고체-액체간 상변화를 수행하는 용융염을 축열물질로 사용하면 액체상 또는 고체상만으로 된 열저장 매체에 비해 축열조의 규모를 축소함과 동시에 축열온도의 균일성 향상에 기여할 수 있다. 중온인 $250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 이용 가능한 용융염으로는 질산칼륨($KNO_3$), 질산리튬($LiNO_3$)등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 용융염의 가장 큰 단점은 열전도율이 매우 낮다는 것이며, 이로 인해 요구되는 열전달률을 성취하기 위해서는 많은 열접촉면적이 필요하다는 것이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하는 방법을 도입하지 않고서는 축열시스템의 소규화를 성취하는데 큰 효과를 가져올 수 없다. 한편 열수송 성능이 탁월한 히트파이프를 사용하면 열원 및 열침과 축열물질 사이의 열전달 효율을 증가시켜 시스템의 성능 향상과 동시에 소규모화에 기여할 수 있다. 중온 범위 히트파이프의 작동유체로서 다우섬-A(Dowtherm-A)는 $150^{\circ}C$이상 $400^{\circ}C$까지의 범위에서 소수에 불과한 선택적 대안 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용융염을 사용하는 중온 태양열축열조에 적용 가능한 다우섬-A 히트파이프의 성능을 파악하여 기술적 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 열원으로는 고온 고압의 과열증기, 그리고 열침으로는 중온의 포화증기를 고려하였다. 용융염 축열조를 수직으로 관통하는 히트파이프는 하단부에서 열원 증기와 열교환 가능하며, 중앙부에서 축열물질과 열교환하고, 상단부에서는 중온 증기와 접촉할 수 있도록 배치하였다. 축열모드에서는 히트파이프의 하단부가 증발부로 작동하고, 중앙부가 응축부로 작동하여 용융염으로 열을 방출하면 용융염의 온도가 상승하고 용융점에 도달하면 액상으로의 상변화가 진행되면서 축열이 활성화된다. 축열모드에서 히트파이프의 상단부는 단열부로 작동한다. 방열과정에서는 히트파이프의 하단부가 단열된 상태이고, 중앙부는 용융염으로부터 열을 받아 증발부로 작동하며, 상단부는 중온 증기로 열을 방출하므로 응축부로 작동한다. 즉, 축열시스템의 작동모드에 따라 하나의 히트파이프에서 증발부, 응축부, 단열부의 위치가 변하게 된다. 특히, 히트파이프의 중앙 부분이 응축부에서 증발부로 전환될 때에도 작동이 보장되려면 내부 작동유체의 연속적인 재순환이 가능해야 하므로, 일반 히트파이프에서와는 달리 초기 작동액체의 충전량을 증발부 전체의 체적보다 더 많이 과충전해야 한다. 이러한 히트파이프의 성능 파악을 위한 실험에서 고려한 변수들은 열부하, 작동액체의 충전률, 작동온도 등이며, 열수송 성능의 지표로서는 유효열전도율과 열저항을 이용하였다. 중온범위에서 적정한 작동온도를 성취하기 위해 실험에서는 전압 조절기로 열부하를 조절하는 동시에 항온조로 응축부의 냉각수 입구 온도를 제어하였다. 하나의 히트파이프에 대해서 최대 1 kW까지의 열부하에서 냉각수 입구 온도를 $40^{\circ}C$에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 범위로 변화시키면 히트파이프 작동온도를 약 $250^{\circ}C$ 내외로 조절 가능하였다. 히트파이프 작동액체 충전률은 윅구조물의 공극 체적을 기준으로 372%에서 420%까지 변화 시켰다. 실험 결과를 토대로 열저항과 유효 열전도율을 각각 입력 열유속, 작동온도, 작동액체 충전률 등의 함수로 제시했다. 동일한 냉각수 온도에서는 충전률이 높을수록 히트파이프의 작동온도가 감소하였다. 열저항 값의 범위는 최소 $0.12^{\circ}C/W$에서 최대 $0.15^{\circ}C/W$까지로 나타났으며 유효 열전도율의 값은 최소 $7,703W/m{\cdot}K$에서 최대 $8,890W/m{\cdot}K$까지 변화했다. 최소 열저항은 충전률 420%인 경우에 나타났는데 이때의 작동온도는 약 $262^{\circ}C$이었다. 히트파이프의 작동한계로서 드라이아웃(dry-out)은 충전률 372%의 경우에 열부하 950 W에서 발생하였으나, 그 이상의 충전률에서는 열부하 1060 W까지 작동한계 발생이 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 결과 본 연구에서의 히트파이프는 중온 태양열 축열조에 적용되어 개당 약 1 kW의 열부하를 이송하면서 축열물질 및 축방열 대상 유동매체와 열교환을 하는데 사용하는데 충분할 것이라 판단된다.

국내의 건축물에 관한 통계정보는 국토해양부에 의해서 공표된 통계연보로서 2002년부터 매년마다 제공되고 있다.(국토해양통계누리, https : //stat.mltm.go.kr/potal/stat/yearReport.do) 건축물의 통계연보는 과거부터 2002년까지 매 3년마다 공표된 것으로 알려지고 있다. 이 통계연보에는 건축물 현황과 건축허가착공 통계가 수록되어 있다. 건축물 현황에는 2009년 말을 기준으로 기존 건축물이 전체 6,618,131동으로서 용도별, 층수와 연면적별 그리고 소유구분별 등의 구분에 따라 건축물의 동수에 관한 통계자료가 포함돼 있다. 건축허가 및 착공통계에는 용도별과 구조재료별의 분류에 따라 건축물의 동수에 관한 자료가 신축, 증축 개축 이전 대수선, 용도변경 등으로 분류되어 수록돼 있다. 한편 국내에서 건축물에 대한 내진설계기준이 1988년에 제정됨에 따라 법제화되었다. 이때 내진설계의 의무 대상건축물은 6층 이상 또는 연면적 1만$m^2$이상인 건축물로 규정되었다. 그 이후 내진설계 대상 건축물이 1996년부터 아파트는 5층 이상으로, 판매시설은 연면적 5천$m^2$이상으로 확대되었고, 2000년부터 숙박시설 오피스텔 및 기숙사는 5층 이상으로 확대되었으며, 2005년부터 내진설계 의무화 대상이 3층 이상 또는 1천$m^2$이상으로 확대되었고, 2009년부터 3층 이상 건축물의 구조안전의 확인을 위한 세부절차를 규정하여 내진설계의 실효성을 확보하고 있다. 이와 같이 내진설계의 대상 건축물이 내진설계기준을 제정한 이후 현재까지 시대의 흐름에 따라 6층 이상에서 5층 이상으로 다시 3층 이상으로 계속 확대되어왔다. 이런 환경에서 현재 시점에서 사용 중인 기존 건축물 중에 내진설계가 적용되지 아니한 건축물은 1988년 3월 1일 이전에 건축허가 된 건축물과 그 이후에 건축허가 된 3층 내지 5층 이하인 저층 건축물의 두 가지로 구분할 수 있다. 이들의 내진설계가 미적용 된 건축물에 대해서는 원칙적으로 내진보강 대책 수립 및 추진이 필요한 실정이다. 국내에서는 현재 지진재해대책법에 따라 지진재해로부터 국민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위하여 기존 시설물에 대한 내진대책을 추진하는 정책이 시행되고 있다. 앞으로는 이 정책의 일환으로 기존 건축물의 내진성능 확보를 위한 내진보강 대책이 구체적으로 추진될 전망이다. 이와 같이 기존 건축물에 대한 내진보강 대책을 수립하는 데는 무엇보다 그 대상 건축물의 수와 구조형식에 관한 정보가 필요하다. 이는 내진보강의 방법과 소요비용이 건축물의 층수 및 구조형식별 동수에 따라 크게 달라지기 때문이다. 이런 관점에서 살펴볼 때 내진대책의 수립에 필수인 기존 저층 건축물의 층수 및 구조형식별 동수에 관한 통계자료를 현재 건축물의 현황통계에서 손쉽게 찾아 볼 수 있으면 좋겠는데 현실은 그렇지 못한 실정이다. 현재 건축물의 현황통계에는 저층 건축물에 해당하는 층수에 관한 구분이 연대에 따라 다르고 구체적인 층수를 구분하기 어렵게 불분명한 항목으로 구성된 것과 구조형식별 분류항목이 없는 형편이다. 반면에 건축허가 및 착공통계자료에는 구조재료별 건축물 동수와 연면적에 관한 자료가 수록되어있고, 건축물 층수에 따라 분류된 통계자료는 없다. 이 연구에서는, 기존 건축물에 대한 내진보강 대책을 수립하는데 필요한 저층 건축물의 층수 및 구조재료별 동수 등에 관한 구체적인 정보를 파악하기 위하여, 건축물 통계연보에 수록된 건축물 현황통계자료에서 불명확하거나 결여된 정보를 건축허가 및 착공 통계자료로부터 얻은 정보로 보완과 보충하여 제시하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 기존 건축물의 내진보강 대책 수립에 필요한 5층 이하의 저층 건축물에 관한 층수별 및 구조형식별 동수에 관한 연도별 통계자료를 추정하여 제안하는데 그 목적이 있다.

In clinical practice, creatinine clearance(Ccr) remains the most commonly used laboratory assessment of glomerular function despite methodological and technical problems of urine collection. Schwartz et al. in 1976, reported that an accurate estimate of glomerular filtration rate(GFR) could be obtained from the simple determinations of plasma creatinine(Pcr) and body length(L) : GFR($m{\ell}/min/1.73m^2$=k L(cm)/Pcr(mg/$100m{\ell}$), (k=constant). The subject of this study were ill children admitted to our pediatric department from July, 1985 to June, 1987 and they were divided into three groups; group I, from 1 to 5 years old, group II, from 6 to 10 years old, group III. from 11 to 15 years old. The results were as following ; 1) Measured creatinine clearance($Ccr_M$, $m{\ell}/min/1.73m^2$) were $109.73{\pm}9.97$ in group I, $108.26{\pm}9.02$ in group II, $96.20{\pm}4.72$ in group III and $105.48{\pm}5.23$ in all age group. 2) Measured k($k_M$) obtained from $Ccr_M=k$ Ht/Pcr were $0.49{\pm}0.03$ in group I, $0.48{\pm}0.02$ in group II, $0.43{\pm}0.02$ in group III, and $0.47{\pm}0.02$ in all age group.(Ht ; height) 3) Linear equations and correlation coefficients between Ht/Pcr(x) and Ccr(y) were y=0.822x-65.63(r=0.99) in group I, y=0.61x-23.46(r=0.72) in group II, y=0.18x+54.44(r=0.54) in group III and y=0.58x-22.13(r=0.81) in all age group. 4) $Ccr_E$ was again estiamted from linear equations between Ht/Pcr and $Ccr_M$ and $k_E$ was calculated with Ht/Pcr and $Ccr_E$ were $0.48{\pm}0.01$ in group I, $0.49{\pm}0.01$in group II, $0.43{\pm}0.01$ in group III and $0.47{\pm}0.00$ in all age group. 5) Consistant values of $k_E$ and $k_M$ were highly significant as 95~97.5% in group I and II, 90~95% in group III and 97.5~99% in all age group. In summary, we could estimate GFR with height, plasma creatinine and measured k($k_M$) according to the age in easy and rapid way.

A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between the risk of cancer and selenium concentration in blood and toenails. Seventy three patients and two hundreds eighty three controls were, selected at the Yeungnam University Hospital between May and September in 1991. The selected cases were patients who had been hospitalized for stomach or colon cancer at the Depertment of General Surgery. The controls were people who visited to check physical examination at the Automated Mediscreening Center. The selenium concentration in whole blood and toenails were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with graphite furnace atomizer. The following information was ascertained for all cancer patients and controls : sex, age, body mass index, blood pressure, total serum cholesterol, and history of smoking and drinking. The mean selenium concentration in blood and toenail for all cancer patients were $143.6{\pm}10.8{\mu}g/l$ and $1.04{\pm}0.62{\mu}g/g$ and for the controls, $167.0{\pm}14.5{\mu}g/l$ and $1.15{\pm}0.55{\mu}g/g$, respectively. The difference in blood and toenail selenium concentrations of the two cancer sites was not statistically significant. Metastasis did not influence the concentration of selenium in blood and toenails. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the blood selenium concentration($_aOR$: 0.888, 95% CI : 0.860-0.918), age, BMI and total serum cholesterol were significant variables for risk of cancer, but the selelenium concentration in toenail was not shown to be a significant variable in this regression analysis. The coefficient for blood selenium concentration adjusted for age, sex, diastolic blood pressure, total serum cholesterol, body mass index and smoking was -0.1184(p<0.01). These findings suggest that low selenium concentration is associated with gastrointestinal cancers. Further epidemiologic studies including important variables such as other antioxidant micronutrients will be necessary.
