  • In a summer study during May to July, involving 12 young Murrah buffalo bulls at forty months of average age, the effects of multiple shower vs single shower body cooling and vitamin A, D and E supplementation on the sexual behaviour, semen quality and freezability were investigated. The animals were divided into two groups (6 animals in each group) and housed in a half-walled shed with proper spacing, the feeding management being identical. The bulls in the control group were given a single shower at 1000 h, whereas the experimental bulls were given four showers at 10,12,14 and 16 h. In addition, the experimental bulls were given vitamin A, D and E injections at fifteen day intervals. The sexual behaviour of bulls was observed in terms of reaction time, sexual aggressiveness and ejaculatory thrust. Semen quality of all the bulls was assessed in terms of volume, mass activity, live-dead sperm and sperm concentration, sperm motility and morphology, and acrosomal abnormality. The sexual behaviour did not vary significantly between the groups, whereas semen quality differed significantly for volume, per cent live sperms, total sperms per ejaculate and total live sperm per ejaculate between groups. It can be concluded that sexual behaviour was not influenced by the thermal comfort treatment coupled with periodic vitamin A, D and E injections. But the treatments improved most of the seminal traits in the experimental group of bulls. However, benefit of treatment was not reflected in the freezability traits of the semen.

  • Fructose-l, 6-diphosphate as an additive to cold crystalloid cardioplegia [St. Thomas sol.] was studied prospectively in 60 patients undergoing open heart surgery from January 1, 1991, to June 30, 1991. Thirty patients received cardioplegia with FDP[group I ] and 30 patients received cardioplegia without FDP [group II ]. There were no differences between two groups pre-operatively with regard to age, heart disease, cross-clamp time, cardiac enzymes, or hemodynamic measurements [p>0.05]. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established using ascending aorta and vena cava cannulation employing moderate systemic hypothermia [30oC nasopharyngeal temperature] and hemodilution All patients received cardioplegia through the aortic root at aortic root pressure of 80mm Hg. The composition of the cardioplegic solution and its delivery were identical in both groups except for the addition of FDP[1.5 mg/mL] in group I. The cardioplegic infusate consisted of St. Thomas Hospital solution. The initial dose was infused through the aortic root. Topical myocardial cooling with saline slush was employed in all patients. Recorded operative data were cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times, amount of cardioplegic infusate. Blood samples for assessment of lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], creatine kinase [CK] and transaminases [GOT, GPT] were obtained before and at 1,2,3,7th postoperative period. Better myocardial protection effect was noted in group I than group II with respect to the % change of cardiac enzymes, although the differences were not significant. We conclude that FDP is a safe additive to crystalloid cardioplegia and may be beneficial in open heart surgery patients.

  • The present case study has a object to investigate the changes in locomotion patterns of infant with athetoid cerebral palsy would be occured by the program when it is applied with upper extremity weight bearing. The subject has been limited to one infant over one year of age, selected from the patients in the physical therapy clinic, Rehabilitation Center, Taegu University. Subject is normal in the visual and auditory sense, but he is unable to walk on his own Subject weighted 2.9kg at birth and underwent severe postnatal kernicterus, always on the baby-walker at homo. He disliked supine position characteristic in moving in athetoid type before he was under the program. The program was applied 7 months. Each session of the program is composed of 7 stages : (1) prebriefing between the therapist and the parents (2) pretherapy amusement time of the infant (3) warming-up (4) upper extremity weight bearing (5) cooling-down (6) post-therapy amusement time (7) postbriefing. The locomotion of the subject is proved to be influenced by the program. He showed a leftward circular movement as a result of the exercise, reducing the involuntary movement of his head when he was positioned for crawling. Later he proceeded to develop into creeping, crawling, kneeling and finally cruising. In conclusion, it appeared evident that the locomotive abilities of the subject is improved by the program explored in this study. The higher locomotive patterns could be achieved such as crawling, sitting, kneeling and cruising wich enable the upper extremities weight bearing.

  • Although stellar flares have a long history of observations, there are few concrete understanding about underlying physical processes and meaningful correlations with other stellar properties. Most of previous observations dealt with only a small number of sample stars, and therefore not sufficient to support generalized statistical studies. Based on one-month long MMT time-series observations of the open cluster M37, we monitored light variations of nearly 2,500 M-dwarf stars and successfully identified 606 flare events from 422 stars. This is a rare attempt to estimate true flare rates and properties among many stars of the same age and mass group. For each flare, we considered both observational and physical parameters including flare shape, duration before and after the peak, baseline magnitude before and after the peak, peak magnitudes, total energy and peak energy, etc. We find significant correlations between some of key parameters over a wide range of energy ($Er=10^{32}{\sim}10^{36}ergs$). For instance, regardless of stellar luminosities, the energy power spectrum of flares can be approximated by a power law (${\beta}=0.83-0.97$). This suggests that flares follow similar physical mechanisms for atmospheric heating and cooling among these low-mass stars. From this MMT data set, we derived an average flaring rate of $0.019 hr^{-1}$ among flare stars and $0.003 hr^{-1}$ for all M-dwarf candidates. We will report the details of our analysis and discuss physical implications.

  • The Weolyu gold-silver deposits at Hwanggan, Chungcheongbukdo, is of a late Cretaceous $(74.24{\pm}1.63Ma)$ epithermal vein-type, and is hosted in the quartz porphyry of late Cretaceous age. Based on mineral paragenetic sequence interpreted from vein structure and mineral assemblages, three stages mineralization were distinguished. A variety of ore minerals occurs including pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena with small amount of electrum, native silver, argentite, pearceite, sb-pearceite, argyrotite. The gangue minerals are quartz, rutile, calcite, apatite, fluorite and rhodochrocite. Wall-rock alteration such as pyritization, chloritization, sericitization, silicification is observed near the quartz veins. Au-Ag minerals were crystallized at middle and late stage of the two mineralization sequences. Results from the analysis of fluid inclusion and thermodynamic calculation indicate that Au-Ag mineral deposits were formed primarily by cooling and dilution of hydrothermal fluids($165{\sim}313^{\circ}C$, 0.4~2.4wt.% equivalent NaCl) with some degree mixing of meteoric water.

  • Activated hwangtoh (ACT) is a natural resource abundant in South Korea, approximately 15.0% of soil. It is an efficient mineral admixture that has activated pozzolanic properties through high-temperature heating and rapid cooling. The purpose of this study is to improve a curb mixture that can reduce NOx outside and investigate durability performance. To this end, mortar curb specimens were manufactured by replacing OPC with ACT. The ACT substitution ratios of 0.0, 10.0, and 25.0% were considered, and mechanical and durability tests on the curb specimens were conducted at 28 and 91 days of age. Steam curing was carried out for three days for the production of curbs, which was very effective to strength development at early ages. The reduction in strength at early ages could be compensated through this process, and no significant performance degradation was evaluated in the tests on chloride attack, carbonation, and freezing and thawing. The mortar curb with an ACT of 10.0~25.0% replacement ratio exhibited clear NOx reduction through photocatalytic (TiO2) treatment. This is due to the increase in physical absorption through surface absorption and the photocatalyst-containing TiO2 coating. In this study, the reasonable range of the ACT replacement ratio for NOx reduction was quantitatively evaluated through a comprehensive analysis of each test.

  • 옥천대 남서부인 전주-김제-정읍일대 쥬라기 화강암질 저반체로부터 구한 FT 연대는 넓은 범위에 걸쳐 나타난다: 스핀=158~70 Ma; 저콘=127~71 Ma; 인회석=72~46 Ma. 교란되지 않은 일차냉각 및 리셋 또는 부분감소된 FT 연대, 그리고 일부 트랙 길이 측정자료에 기반한 열연대학적 해석을 통해 화강암체가 겪은 복잡한 지열사를 규명하였다. 이 화강암체의 전체 냉각사는 정출 후 $300^{\circ}C$ 등온선까지의 비교적 빠른 전기 냉각(${\sim}20^{\circ}C/Ma$)과 $300^{\circ}C-200^{\circ}C-100^{\circ}C$ 등온선을 거쳐 현재 지표온도에 이르기까지의 매우 느린 후기 냉각($2.0{\sim}1.5^{\circ}C/Ma$)으로 특징지어진다. 이 쥬라기 화강암체의 많은 부분은 일련의 후기 백악기 화성활동에 의해 적어도 $170^{\circ}C$ 이상(최고 >$330^{\circ}C$)의 다양한 수준에 달하는 지열상승을 겪은 것으로 확인되었다. 다양한 후기 화성암체들의 두 지점으로부터 중복측정된 FT 저콘 연대의 일치된 결과는 그들의 생성시기를 잘 정의한다: 석영반암=$73{\pm}3Ma$; 섬록암=$73{\pm}2Ma$; 유문암=$72{\pm}3Ma$; 장석반암=$78{\pm}4Ma$ (전체 가중평균=$73{\pm}3Ma$). 이들 후기 화성암체와 페그마타이트 암맥군의 관입은 온천개발지역(화심, 죽림, 목욕리, 회봉 등)을 위시한 연구지역 내에서의 후기 지열상승에 주요 역할을 하였던 것으로 해석된다. 이 화강암 저반체의 후기냉각이 지표면의 침식-삭박에 따른 상대적 융기에 의해 근본적으로 규제되었다고 가정하면, 전기 백악기 이후의 융기는 연간 평균 약 0.05 mm (즉 백만 년에 약 50 m)의 매우 느린 속도로 진행되었다. 100 Ma, 70 Ma, 40 Ma를 기준으로 현재까지의 총융기량은 각각 5 km, 3.5 km, 2 km 정도로 추정된다. 여러 지점의 일정한 융기량은 암체 전체가 광역적으로 고르게 융기하였음을 지시한다.

  • Purpose: To determine the effect of the Fall Prevention Program(EPP) on gait, balance and muscle strength in elderly women at a nursing home. Method: The subjects of this consisted of 38 elderly women between the ages of 70 to 89 years living at a nursing home located in Seoul. Each of the experimental group and control group was composed of 19 subjects. The subjects in experimental group have participated in FPP for the 8 weeks which consisted of exercise, education and foot care. They started to exercise for 40 minutes per session, 3 sessions a week during the 1st week at 40% of age adjusted maximum heart rate. From the 2nd week to the 4th week, they increased the duration of exercise to 50 minutes per session and the intensity to 60% of age-adjusted maximum heart rate. They participated in 50 minutes at 60% of age-adjusted maximum heart rate from the 5th week to the 8th week. Each exercise session consisted of 10 minutes of warming-up exercise, 30 minutes of conditioning exercise and 10 minutes of cooling-down exercise. They participated in education for 20 minutes per week from the 1st week to the 4th week. Then they participated in a 30-minute foot care program per week from the 5th week to the 8th week. Gait, balance and muscle strength for each subject were measured before and after FPP. Gait was evaluated by step length, step width, gait speed and walking distance. Balance was measured by the duration of standing on one leg with their eyes closed and open each, and a get-up and go test. Grip strength was measured by hand dynamometer. Hip extensor and flexor strength, knee extensor and flexor strength and ankle plantarflexor and dorsiflexor strength were measured by manual muscle tester. Data was analyzed using SPSS form Windows. t-test and Chi square test were utilized as a homogeneity test. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to test the effect of FPP. Result: 1) Step width significantly decreased, and step length, gait speed and walking distance significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group after FPP(p<0.005). 2) There was no significant change in standing time on one leg with their eyes closed after FPP. The standing time on leg with their eyes open and the time of "get-up and go" significantly decreased in the experimental group compared with the control group after FPP(p<0.005). 3) Muscle strength-grip strength, hip extensor and flexor strength-significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group after FPP(p<0.005). 4) There was no significant difference of frequency of fall between the experimental group and control group during the period of FPP. Conclusion: These results suggest that FPP can increase gait, balance and muscle strength of elderly women at a nursing home.

  • 본 연구는 태백산맥 남부에 위치한 울진 광천, 평해 남대천, 영덕 오십천을 대상으로 하안단구 지형 특성,분포, 형성시기, 하각률을 분석하여, 지반융기와 기반암 특성에 의한 하안단구 형성과정을 추정하였다. 울진 광천 상류부의 구조 및 기후단구 1면은 하상비고 9~12m, 형성 시기는 MIS 2, 하각률은 0.40m/ka로 분석되었으며, 영덕 오십천 상류부의 구조 및 기후단구 1면은 하상비고 7~10m, 형성 시기는 MIS 3, 하각률은 0.10m/ka로 계산되었다. 이러한 결과는 울진 광천 유역이 영덕 오십천 유역에 비해 상대적으로 지반 융기율이 클 가능성을 의미한다. 울진 광천의 하류부는 영덕 오십천과 달리 해면변동단구가 확인되지 않는데, 울진 광천은 큰 융기율과 풍화 침식에 강한 기반암으로 인해 하곡에서 지형의 잔존 가능성이 낮은 것으로 보인다. 한편, 연구 대상 하천의 구조 및 기후단구는 가장 낮은 단의 형성시기가 다르고, 간빙기 내 기온 저하기와 아간빙기에 형성된 단구면도 확인되었다. 따라서 기존 기후단구 모델에 따른 하안단구 편년 방법에 대해 재고할 필요가 있다.

  • 연구 지역내 화성암류로부터 얻은 13개의 저어콘에 대한 휫션트랙 연대가 측정되었다. 본 연구에서 얻은 휫션트랙 저어콘 연대는 Rb-Sr법 또는 K-Ar법에 의한 선행연구의 결과보다 약 2천만년 정도 젊게 나타났다. 이는 아마 측정 대상 광물의 연령보존온도가 각기 다른 때문인 것으로 보인다. 소백산편마암복합체는 자발핵 분열비적의 밀도가 너무 높아서 측정이 불가능했으며, 편마상화강섬록암과 거창화강섬록암은 $161{\pm}11Ma{\sim}150{\pm}10Ma$로 나타났다. 연구 지역내 중성 및 염기성암류는 $148{\pm}13Ma{\sim}144{\pm}8Ma$$126{\pm}9Ma{\sim}104{\pm}7Ma$의 2차례에 걸쳐 형성된 것으로 생각된다. 가조화강암의 연대는 $96.5{\pm}5.7Ma{\sim}95.4{\pm}6.4Ma$로 나타났다. 중생대에 있어서, 이러한 휫션트랙 저어콘 연대의 측정 결과는 단속적인 마그마활동, Cooling 또는 지각의 상승 및 삭박작용 등이 주된 원인으로 작용되었을 것이다. 휫션트랙의 연대가 K-Ar법 보다 젊게 측정되었음을 감안해 보더라도, 본 지역은 쥬라기때 대보 조산운동과 관련하여 가장 격렬한 화성활동을 겪었던 것 같다.
