Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of a community based group exercise intervention on motor functional capacity. To evaluate the immediate(post-treatment) effects after 6-weeks exercise program on the group exercise intervention(PNF and Circuit exercise). Methods : Subjects-Included persons with stroke who were living in the community. Thirty-seven subjects were randomly assigned to the PNF, Circuit exercise and control group participated in a repeated measures design that evaluated the subjects with pre-treatment, post-treatment(6 weeks). Functional ability outcome measures assessed the motor assessment scale(MAS) and EMG. Both treatment groups participated in exercise cJass three times a week for 6 weeks. Group programs focused on balance, functional motor capacity and walking ability. The PNF program was modified PNF pattem and techniques with emphasis on functional tasks when possible, as well as stretching of the more affected limb particularly in the more affected shoulder. The Circuit program with subjects completing practice at a selies of work station as well as participating in walking races and relay with other members of the group. Results : Compared with the control group, the treatment group had larger improvements in the motor function ability after 6 weeks treatment and Post-treatment test scores were more significant than the pre-treatment score. 1. Motor function were assessed by using MAS, sit to stand, walking and upper function were assessed pre-treatment versus post-treatment measures revealed a statically significant(p<.05). There were significant differences between the groups. Compared with the control group, the treatment group had larger improvements. 2. In the treatment groups, demonstrated difference in the electromyographic activation of biceps, triceps, quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles on the paretic side in the response to the reaching arm movement and stepping motion in stance. The difference in muscle activation improvement were not statically significant. Conclusion : The results of this study showed that the PNF and Circuit group exercise intervention can improve motor functional ability. This study suggests that the PNF and Circuit exercise programs is appropriate for community-based group exercise principles. It leads to gain and maintain potential function for disabled persons after stroke in the community.

This study investigates the impacts of land cover change due to urbanization on the Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) and the Heat Index (HI) over the Seoul metropolitan area using the Unified Model (UM) with the Met Office Reading Urban Surface Exchange Scheme (MORUSES) during the heat wave from 16, July to 5, August 2018. Two simulations are performed with the late 1980s land-use (EXP1980) and the late 2000s land-use (EXP2000). EXP2000 is verified using Automatic Weather Station (AWS) data from 85 points in the study area, and observation sites are classified into two categories according to the urban fraction change over 20 years; Category A is 0.2 or less increase, and Category B is 0.2 or more increase. The 1.5-m temperature and relative humidity in Category B increase by up to 1.1℃ and decreased by 7% at 1900 LST and 2000 LST, respectively. This means that the effect of the urban fraction changes is higher at night. UHII increases by up to 0.3℃ in Category A and 1.3℃ in Category B at 1900 LST. Analysis of the surface energy balance shows that the heat store for a short time during the daytime and release at nighttime with upward sensible heat flux. As a result of the HI, there is no significant difference between the two experiments during the daytime, but it increases 1.6℃ in category B during the nighttime (2200 LST). The results indicate that the urbanization increase both UHII, and HI, but the times of maximum difference between EXP1980 and EXP2000 are different.

본 논문은 복수의 안테나를 보유한 기지국이 잡음제한 된(noise-limited) 셀룰러 환경에서 복수의 단일 안테나 사용자와 동시에 통신 하는 시스템을 고려한다. 각 사용자는 제한된 피드백을 통해 송신부에 자신의 채널 상태 정보를 공유하고 송신부는 공유된 채널 정보를 바탕으로 다중사용자 기반의 공간다중화를 진행한다. 채널 정보가 제한되어있기 때문에 시스템의 하향링크 데이터 율은 채널 정보의 피드백 양에 비례한다. 하지만 피드백 양이 증가하면 피드백에 사용되는 상향링크의 자원소모가 동시에 증가하기 때문에, 실제의 통신시스템은 하향링크 통신량과 상향링크 제어정보량 사이의 균형을 적절히 고려할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 측면을 고려하여 정의된 순(net) 주파수 효율을 사용하며 이를 최대화 하는 최적의 피드백 양을 분석한다. 특히, 단말의 수신 파워가 수신 노이즈에 비해 낮을 때의 시스템의 최적 피드백 양을 주로 연구한다.

Chain-based protocol방법 중의 하나인 PEGASIS는 모든 노드들의 공평한 에너지 소모를 유도 할 수 있지만 BS(Base station)로부터 멀리 떨어진 노드들 중에서 HEAD가 선택될 경우에는 데이터 전송 시에 심각한 에너지 소모와 불필요한 노드들 간의 데이터 이동이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 PEGASIS의 greedy알고리즘을 응용하고, BS를 기준으로 주변 node들과의 거리를 비교하여 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있는 프로토콜인 DERP(Distance-based Energy efficient routing protocol)을 제안한다. DERP의 기법은 예비헤드(P-HD)노드를 선택하여 보다 효율적인 클러스터 구조를 생성할 수 있는 방법이다. 아울러 더 큰 센서 필드에서의 확장을 위해서 PEGASIS와 제안방법에서 기본이 되는 single-hop 기반의 통신을 HEAD와 BS와의 거리에 따른 relay노드를 선택함으로서 multi-hop 기반의 통신으로 변환하여 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있는 방법을 추가하였다. DERP의 시뮬레이션 결과 값으로 에너지 효율은 기존의 PEGASIS방법에 비해 최고 80%정도까지의 에너지 효율이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 데이터 전송 지연 역시 감소하는 것으로 확인 되었다.

지구온난화에 의해 지구의 평균 기온은 1880년 이후로 약 $0.85^{\circ}C$ 상승하였다. 이는 수문현상에 영향을 미치며 이로 인해 전 세계는 홍수 및 가뭄과 같은 자연재해에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 미래의 안정적인 물 공급을 위한 수자원 계획 수립을 위해 특히 물 부족 측면에서 기후의 불확실성을 고려한 물 수요의 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 한국의 안성천 유역을 대상으로 기후변화를 고려하여 미래 물수지 및 물 부족량을 평가하였다. RCP 8.5 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 미래 강수량을 모의하였고, 준분포 강우-유출 모형인 SLURP 모형을 통해 유출량을 추정하였다. K-WEAP 모형을 통해 안성천 유역 소유역의 물수지 분석을 위한 시나리오 및 네트워크를 구축하였다. 또한 1965-2011년간 과거 자료로부터 계산된 용수이용량(생활, 공업, 농업용수)을 활용한 선형예측함수식을 통해 장래 물 수요 추정량을 산정하였다. 물 수지 분석 결과, 인구 증가, 급격한 도시화 및 지구온난화에 의한 기후변화로 인해 생활 및 공업용수 이용량은 증가하고, 반면 농업용수 이용량은 점차적으로 감소할 것으로 확인되었다. 전체적으로 안성천유역에서 미래 물 부족 문제가 심각해질 것으로 나타났다. 이에 유역 내 물 부족 문제를 해결하기 위한 사례연구로서 광역상수도 확충 및 제한급수의 두 가지 대안을 제시하였다.

목초하고 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방목개시시 초장(주구 3처리 ; 15, 30, 45cm)과 여름철 혼파된 화본 과목초에 경합력이 낮은 화이트클로바 품종(세구 4처리; Regal, Tahora, Brown, STVR)을 선발하기 위해 제주농업시험장의 사료작물시험포장에서 1994년 9월부터 1996년 10월까지 2년간 시험이 수행되었다. 혼파목초의 건물수량은 전체적으로 평균 예취시 초장 30cm 이상에서 유의적 증수를 보였으나(P<0.05) 2년차에는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 2년째 수확시에만 목초의 건물수량이 Brown 품종구에서 타 품종 보다 통계적으로 고도의 유의적 증가를 보였다.(P<0.01). 2년차에 예취시 초장에 따른 식생구성율에 분명한 차이를 발견치 못하였다. 다만 white clover 품종 처리별로 비교할 때 white clover의 비율은 Regal와 Tahora구에서 보다 Brown과 SRVR 처리구에서 낮아지는 경향이었다. 2년차 마지막 예취시에 잡초비율도 주구나 세구간 효과를 발견치 못하였다. 목초의 ADF와 NDF 함량은 예취 초장 15cm에서 가장 낮았고 인 함량은 15cm에서 가장 높았으며 모두 통계적으로 유의차가 인정되었다(P<0.05). 혼파목초의 K 함량은 30cm 초장에서 가장 낮았으며 (P<0.05) 질소 함량은 예취시 초장과 품종간에 상호작용이 있었으며 통계적으로 고도의 유의차가 있었다(P<0.01). White clover의 품종이 목초의 일반성분 함량에 영향을 주지 못하였다. 결론적으로 방목형일 때 15cm 초장에서 화이트 클로바 SRVR을 이용하는 것이 사료가치도 유지하며 두과와 화본과목초 균형을 유지하는 데 적합하다고 사료된다.

The extreme 2017 spring drought affected a large portion of South Korea in the Southern Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongnam-do districts. This drought event was one of the climatologically driest spring seasons over the 1961-2016 period of record. It was characterized by exceptionally low reservoir water levels, with the average water level being 36% lower over most of western South Korea. In this study, we consider drought response methods to alleviate the shortage of agricultural water in times of drought. It could be to store water from a stream into a reservoir. There is a cyclical method for reusing water supplied from a reservoir into streams through drainage. We intended to present a decision-making plan for water supply based on the calculation of the quantity of water supply and leakage. We compared the rainfall-runoff equation with the TANK model, which is a long-term run-off model. Estimations of reservoir inflow during non-irrigation seasons applied to the Madun, Daesa, and Pungjeon reservoirs. We applied the run-off flow to the last 30 years of rainfall data to estimate reservoir storage. We calculated the available water in the river during the non-irrigation season. The daily average inflow from 2003 to 2018 was calculated from October to April. Simulation results show that an average of 67,000 tons of water is obtained during the non-irrigation season. The report shows that about 53,000 tons of water are available except during the winter season from December to February. The Madun Reservoir began in early October with a 10 percent storage rate. In the starting ratio, a simulated rate of 4 K, 6 K, and 8 K tons is predicted to be 44%, 50%, and 60%. We can estimate the amount of water needed and the timing of water pump operations during the non-irrigation season that focuses on fresh water reservoirs and improve decision making for efficient water supplies.

An experiment with twenty crossbred goat kids (male) of 2-3 months old, weighing about 12 kg was conducted to study the effect of feeding formaldehyde treated rape seed oil cake based diet supplemented with molasses on growth rate and histopathological changes of different organs. Goats were randomly divided into four groups of 5 animals each and were individually fed for a period of 120 days. The animals in group I (URC) and II (URCM) were fed concentrate mixture (CM-I) containing untreated rape seed oil cake (30%) while, the animals in group III (TRC) and IV (TRCM) were offered concentrate mixture (CM-II) containing formaldehyde treated rape seed oil cake. Further, molasses as energy source was additionally supplemented with the concentrate mixture at the rate of 8% of concentrate mixture on dry matter basis to animals in group II and IV. All the animals were maintained on roughage (Berseem hay:wheat straw = 2:1) and concentrate in 50:50 ratio. Average daily gain (g/d) of animals in group IV was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that in group I., but at par with group II and III. Feed conversion efficiency was also significantly (p<0.05) higher in group IV (10.14) than group I and II but at par with group III. The growth rate however increased by 50.2% in group IV showing more consistency in maintaining highest growth rate due to better balance of nutrients. At the end of four months of feeding trial, two animals from each group were sacrificed for histopathological study of different organs. Significant histopathological changes in liver, heart, lungs tissue of animals fed untreated rape seed oil cake diet were recorded which were totally absent in the organ of animals fed formaldehyde treated cake. The liver tissue of goats receiving control diet (containing untreated rape seed oil cake) were found to be associated with engorged central vein and blood vessels. Hepatocytes were swollen, pale and degenerated with cellular infiltration and fibrosis of portal areas. The muscles of heart were found to have intermyofibral edema. Emphysema accompanied by dilated and ruptured alveoli was also recorded in lung tissue. However, histopathological examination of various tissues of goats fed formaldehyde treated cake diet did not exhibit any degenerative changes. Additional supplementation of molasses with or without treated cake diet, apparently did not have any significant effect on ameliorating the above degenerative changes.

Objective: Dietary phytase increases bioavailability of phytate-bound phosphorus (P) in pig nutrition affecting dietary calcium (Ca) to P ratio, intestinal uptake, and systemic utilization of both minerals, which may contribute to improper bone mineralization. We used phytase to assess long-term effects of two dietary available P (aP) levels using a one-phase feeding system on gene expression related to Ca and P homeostasis along the intestinal tract and in the kidney, short-chain fatty acids in stomach, cecum, and colon, serum, and bone parameters in growing gilts and barrows. Methods: Growing pigs (37.9±6.2 kg) had either free access to a diet without (Con; 75 gilts and 69 barrows) or with phytase (650 phytase units; n = 72/diet) for 56 days. Samples of blood, duodenal, jejunal, ileal, cecal, and colonic mucosa and digesta, kidney, and metacarpal bones were collected from 24 pigs (6 gilts and 6 barrows per diet). Results: Phytase decreased daily feed intake and average daily gain, whereas aP intake increased with phytase versus Con diet (p<0.05). Gilts had higher colonic expression of TRPV5, CDH1, CLDN4, ZO1, and OCLN and renal expression of TRPV5 and SLC34A3 compared to barrows (p<0.05). Phytase increased duodenal expression of TRPV5, TRPV6, CALB1, PMCA1b, CDH1, CLDN4, ZO1, and OCLN compared to Con diet (p<0.05). Furthermore, phytase increased expression of SCL34A2 in cecum and of FGF23 and CLDN4 in colon compared to Con diet (p<0.05). Alongside, phytase decreased gastric propionate, cecal valerate, and colonic caproate versus Con diet (p<0.05). Phytase reduced cortical wall thickness and index of metacarpal bones (p<0.05). Conclusion: Gene expression results suggested an intestinal adaptation to increased dietary aP amount by increasing duodenal trans- and paracellular Ca absorption to balance the systemically available Ca and P levels, whereas no adaption of relevant gene expression in kidney occurred. Greater average daily gain in barrows related to higher feed intake.

Twenty male buffalo calves of 6-9 months of age (average body weight, 97 kg) were randomly allocated into two main groups of four (control) and sixteen (supplemented) calves. The supplemented group was further divided in to four equal sub-groups, with the two groups supplemented with a liquid preparation of urea-molasses, UML1, containing fish meal and UML2, containing formaldehyde treated deoiled mustard cake (FDMC) and the other two, with a semi-solid preparation, UMC1 with FDMC and deoiled rice bran (DORB) contributing similar level of CP as in UML2 and UMC2 with double the level of FDMC to that in UMC1. The control group was fed with DORB along with ad libitum wheat straw at 40:60 ratios. The rest of the groups were fed on the above diet supplemented with 500 g (as fed basis) of urea-molasses preparations. The experimental feeding was carried out for 24 weeks including a metabolism trial towards the end of experimental feeding. Daily feed intake and fortnightly change in live weight were also recorded during the study. Catalytic supplementation of 500 g urea-molasses induced 8-25% higher voluntary feed intake of wheat straw, resulting in 15-25% higher DM and OM intake. The digestibility of DM, OM, total carbohydrate, NDF, ADF, hemicellulose and cellulose in all the dietary groups were comparable. The CP digestibility of calves in supplemented groups were higher (p<0.05) than the control group. The balance of nutrients, viz. N, Ca and P, was also higher in the supplemented groups. Significantly higher intake of digestible CP coupled with other digestible nutrients attributed to higher TDN (1.67-1.78 vs. 1.37 kg) and ME (5.94-6.31 vs. 4.87 Mcal) intake in urea-molasses supplemented groups which resulted in higher live weight gain compared to that in control group (p<0.01). Between the supplements, UML2 and UMC2 faired non-significantly, indicating formalin treated mustard cake as a suitable replacement to fishmeal in the supplement. The overall ranking based on intake and digestibility of nutrients, live weight gain, economic evaluation and input-output relationship revealed that the rations with UML2 and UMC1 to be of greater value compared to other types. From the study it can be concluded that young ruminants can be reared successfully on a basal diet of deoiled rice bran and wheat straw supplemented with cheaper urea-molasses-mineral mix.
