  • 전 세계적인 기후변화로 인한 기상이변 현상으로 국지성 호우가 빈번하게 발생하는 시점에 강우로 인한 토양유실 문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 또한 급격한 도시, 산업화의 진행으로 인해 강우로 인해 유실되는 토양의 양이 증가하여 생태계에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 국내에서는 토양유실문데를 해결하기 위해 많은 연구를 진행하고 있다. 토양유실문제를 해결하기 위해서는 토양유실현상의 원인을 파악하기 위한 모니터링 연구를 수행하여 현상을 분석하는 것이 가장 정확한 방법이지만 수반되는 인적, 경제적 한계가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 많은 연구자들은 토양유실량 산정 및 유사거동특성을 계산하는 모형을 활용한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 토양유실량을 산정하는 모형 중 전 세계적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 범용토양유실량산정공식(Universal Soil Loss Equation, USLE)은 5개의 인자를 사용하여 연평균 토양유실량을 산정한다. 국내의 경우 환경부에서 제정한 '표토의 침식 현황 조사에 관한 고시'에 표토침식현황을 조사하는 방법으로 USLE 공식을 사용한다. USLE 모형을 구성하는 인자 중 C facotr는 작물의 생육과정에 따른 변화를 고려하지 않고 작물에 대한 획일적인 값을 제시하고 있어 밭에서 발생되는 정확한 토양유실현황을 예측하는데 한계가 있다, 따라서 본 연구에서는 식생피복변화에 따른 C factor산정방안을 제시하기 위해 비점오염원관리지역으로 지정된 자운지구 내 고랭지밭을 대상으로 실측을 통한 C factor를 제안하였다. 식생피복변화에 따른 C factor를 제안하기 위해 우선적으로 제작되어야 하는 NDVI map을 제작하기 위해 본 연구에서는 무인항공기인 ebee와 Multi-spectral 센서를 사용하여 실측을 진행하여 NDVI map을 제작하였으며, C factor를 제안하기 위해 Jamil A.A.Anache et al의 연구결과에 명시된 C factor 산정식을 적용하여 식생피복 변화에 따른 C factor를 산정하였다. 산정결과, 획일적인 값을 제시하는 기존 C factor와 다르게 식생피복에 따라 변화하는 C factor가 산정되었다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 무인항공기를 사용한 C factor 산정방안을 통해 정확한 토양유실량을 산정하는데 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the C-factor and shrinkage strain values of composite resin and examine the strain values in different incremental filling techniques. Experiment consisted two aims. First, we compared with strain value in two different C-factors(3.7 and 1.0). Second, we examined the strain values in three different filling techniques. The results of the present study can be summarized as follows : 1. High C-factor groups showed higher contraction stress values than low C-factor groups at 900 sec after polymerization. 2. Hybrid resin showed higher contraction stress values than flowable resin in high C-factor cavities. But contraction stress was not revealed significant difference between hybrid resin and flowable resin in low C-factor cavities (P>0.05). 3. Bulk felling with hybrid resin(Group 1) showed high contraction stress and lining with flowable resin followed hybrid resin (Group 5) showed lower contraction stress. 4. Contraction stress were increased during 900 sec after polymerization in high C-factor groups but decreased gradually after 900 sec. 5. Low C-factor groups showed tight marginal seal between resin and cavity wall but high C-factor groups showed gaps formed between resin and cavity wall in part. On the basis above results, layering techniques in high C-factor cavity showed advantages in reducing contraction stress and gap formation between cavity wall and resin restoration.

  • Current seismic design provisions allow structures to deform into inelastic range during design level earthquakes since the chance to meet such event is quite rare. For this purpose, design base shear is defined in current seismic design provisions as the value of elastic seismic shear force divided by strength reduction factor, R (${\geq}1$). Strength reduction factor generally consists of four different factors, which can account for ductility capacity, overstrength, damping, and redundancy inherent in structures respectively. In this study, R factor is assumed to account for only the ductility rather than overstrength, damping, and redundancy. The R factor considering ductility is called "ductility factor" ($R_{\mu}$). This study proposes ductility factor with correction factor, C, which can account for dynamic P-${\Delta}$ effect. Correction factor, C is established as the functional form since it requires computational efforts and time for calculating this factor. From the statistical study using the results of nonlinear dynamic analysis for 40 earthquake ground motions (EQGM) it is shown that the dependence of C factor on structural period is weak, whereas C factor is strongly dependant on the change of ductility ratio and stability coefficient. To propose the functional form of C factor statistical study is carried out using 79,920 nonlinear dynamic analysis results for different combination of parameters and 40 EQGM.

  • In this study, the experiment conditions for the variation of heat release rate in compartment space were constructed to analyze the effects of fire spread and the operation time of sprinkler in accordance with the heat loss of the sprinkler's heat element. The compartment composed of fire board (width = 0.3 m, height = 0.5 m, length = 3.0 m), are manufactured to measure the temperature distributions in the inner space, the mass loss rate and heat release rate during the experiment of N-heptane pool fire test. Also, the operation time of sprinkler is analyzed with the installation of sprinkler and C-factor using Fire Dynamics Simulator Ver.6 under the experiment conditions. The results show that the operation time of sprinkler, which has RTI $100(m{\cdot}s)^{0.5}$ operating temperature $70^{\circ}C$, is 30 s~60 s for C-factor = 0 and 1, 62 s~92 s for C-factor = 3, and 120 s over for C-factor = 5, respectively.

  • Human blood clotting (coagulation) factor 9 cDNA which codes for 461 amino acid has been cloned by screening human fetal liver cDNA library using PCR. This 1.4 kb cDNA spanning from the ATG initiation codon to the TAA termination codon was cloned into bacterial .expression vector pGEX-2T, generating pGEX-F9 plasmid. The plasmid pGEX-F9 expresses about 73 kDa GST (Glutathione S-transferase)-Factor 9 fusion protein when introduced into E. coli. Western blot analysis using polyclonal antibody raised against human factor 9 confirmed this fusion protein contains factor 9 protein. The level of GST-factor 9 expression was about 20% of total protein and the purification of fusion protein was efficiently achieved by using GST agarose bead based on one step purification protocol.

  • Nuclear factor I-C (NFI-C) plays a pivotal role in various cellular processes such as odontoblast and osteoblast differentiation. Nfic-deficient mice showed abnormal tooth and bone formation. The transplantation of Nfic-expressing mouse bone marrow stromal cells rescued the impaired bone formation in $Nfic^{-/-}$ mice. Studies suggest that NFI-C regulate osteogenesis and dentinogenesis in concert with several factors including transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$, $Kr{\ddot{u}}ppel$-like factor 4, and ${\beta}$-catenin. This review will focus on the function of NFI-C during tooth and bone formation and on the relevant pathways that involve NFI-C.

  • It is known that mast cells (MCs) are increased in H. pylori-infected gastritis and its increase is mediated by stem cell factor (c-kit ligand). To determine the mechanism of mast cell recruitment and activation by stem cell factor, weinvestigated the expression of stem cell factor receptor (c-kit) in H. pylori-positive and -negative gastric mucosa. Biopsy specimens from 16 H. pylori-negative and 20 positive subjects were examined. H. pylori infection in gastric mucosa was examined by the Warthin-Starry method. MC and c-kit were identified by immunohistochemisty, using a monoclonal antihuman MC tryptase antibody and a polyclonal anti-human c-kit antibody. Densities of MC and c-kit positive cell were measured by a computerized image analysis system. MCs were detected in the lamina propria of both H. pylori-positive and -negative gastric mucosa. Densities of MC and c-kit positive cell were significantly greater in H. pylori-positive than -negative subjects. c-kit was located on the surface of MCs. These results indicate that stem cell factors may be one of the factors involved in mast cell increase and that they activate mast cells by binding with c-kit.

  • The purpose of this study is to reveal and confirm the factor structure inherent in the Korean inventory of peer relationships(KIPR; Sang-Hwang Hong, et al., 2009) in order to strengthen the interpretive usefulness of the test. For this purpose, the inventory was administered to the total of 616 children in the fourth through sixth grades in three elementary schools located in Gyungnam area, and the data from 578 of them were analyzed. The results of the study can be summarized as follows. First, as a result of the exploratory factor analysis of 3-factor and 4-factor models, the 3-factor model was found to be more appropriate. In the 3-factor model, the factor 1 is named "Lack of Self-Confidence and Social Withdrawal" as it consists of such circumplex scale items as Non-Assertiveness (C5), Social Avoidance (C4), the Cold (C3), and Too Submissive (C6). The factor 2 is named "Too Aggressive and Controlling" and consists of items Too Controlling (C1) and Hard to be Supportive (C2). The factor 3 is named "Too Caring" and consists of items Too Responsible (C7), Over Involvement (C8), and Too Submissive (C6). Second, as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, the 3-factor model, in comparison to the 4-factor model, was found to better reflect the collected data(RMSEA=.054), its goodness of fit was not satisfactory but within the acceptable range(CFI=.786), and its power of simplicity and clarity was also adequate(PCFI=.733). In the current study, through the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of scores from the Korean inventory of peer relationships circumplex scales, scales within the peer relationship circumplex model that are near each other and are highly correlated were confirmed to be grouped together as same factors. I believe the main merit of the study lies in the above result having provided the necessary foundation for forming the superordinate and representative scale that encompasses the eight circumplex scales, which enhances the test's interpretive usefulness.

  • In order to calculate the actual erosion according to the universal soil loss equation (USLE) and to estimate the impact of land use on soil erosion in Saemangeum, it is important to know the C-factor. Based on the USLE crop-growth stages, the cover-management C-factors were calculated for the main crop and crop rotation systems by National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology. Combining this result with statistical data about crop cultivation area and crop rotation systems, C-factors of each administrative district in Saemangeum watershed were calculated. The range of C-factors were between 0.28 and 0.35. High C-factor value was obtained with Gimje (C = 0.35) and small C-factor values were found in Wanju (C = 0.28) and Jeongeup (C = 0.29). With this result, calculated annual soil loss was 2,804,483 ton per year. Because of the lack of sufficient statistical data about crop rotation systems, further studies are required on collecting field survey data.
