Bacterial biomass and its activity were measured in two kinds of granular activated carbon (GAC), the experimental and existing biofiltration system in a drinking water plant. The bacterial biomass was around 210 to 250 nmol P/g WW with phospholipid concentration at acclimation of ozonation treatment. The phospholipid biomass shows more or less a declining gradient along filter depth and no clear seasonality in its values. On the other hand, the microbial activity of [$^3H$]-thymidine and [$^{14}C$]-acetate incorporation within cells increased significantly along the filter depth, showing the difference of three fold between the upper and bottom layer. These factors support the different microbial composition or metabolic activity along the depth of GAC column. Turnover rates, the rate of bacterial biomass and production of biofilm, ranged from 0.26 /hr to 0.37 /hr, indicating a highly rapid recovery itself at amature state. In the non-ozonation treatment, the bacterial biomass was lower than in the ozonation and biological activity also declined towards the filter depth. The biomass levels during cessation of ozonation in the existing GAC filters were 68% of the actively ozonated state.

본 논문에서는 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 획득된 영상들 간의 상대적인 열화(Blur)를 이용하여 물체의 3차원 형상 및 거리 정보를 얻을 수 있는 Depth From Defocus(DFD) 방법을 제안한다. 기존 논문의 주파수 영역에서 디포커스(Defocus) 연산자를 구하는 역필터링(Inverse filtering) 방법은 정확도가 떨어지고, 윈도우 효과(Windowing effects) 및 영상의 경계 효과(Border effect)와 같은 단점이 있었다. 또한 일반적인 영상은 비정체성 (Nonstationary)이기 때문에, 임의의 텍스처에 대한 가우시안(Gaussian) 및 라플라시안(Laplacian) 연산자 등의 필터를 이용하는 디포커스 방법의 추정값은 결과가 좋지 않다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 지역적 분석과 함께 다양한 크기의 윈도우를 제공하는 웨이블릿 변환을 이용한 DFD 방법을 제안한다. 복잡한 텍스처 특성을 갖는 영상의 깊이 추정을 위해서는 웨이블릿 분석을 사용하는 것이 효과적이다. Parseval의 정리에 의해 영상 간의 웨이블릿 에너지의 비율이 열화 계수(Blur parameter) 및 거리와 관련 있음을 증명하였다. 제안된 DFD 알고리즘의 성능을 계산하기 위해 실험은 종합적이며 실제적인 영상을 이용하여 행하였다. 본 논문의 DFD 방식은 기존의 DFD 방법보다 RMS 에러 측면에서 정확한 결과를 보였다.

Saccharina sculpera is highly valued for human consumption and value-added products. However, natural resources of this kelp have decreased sharply and it is in danger of extinction. Resources recovery through cultivation is being trialed to enable the sustainable use of this species. In this study, the temperature range for survival and optimal growth of juvenile S. sculpera was identified and applied to field cultivation. This study investigated the survival and growth of juvenile S. sculpera under six temperatures (i.e., 5, 10, 15, 16, 18, and 20℃) and two light intensities (i.e., 20 and 40 µmol photons m^-2 s^-1) in an indoor culture experiment. In these experiments, the blade length decreased at 16℃ under the both light intensities. The thalli died at 20℃ and 20 µmol photons m^-2 s^-1, and at 18-20℃ and 40 µmol photons m^-2 s^-1. During the field cultivation, early growth of S. sculpera was highest at the 5 m depth and growth decreased as the water depth increased. When the initial rearing depth was maintained without adjustment throughout the cultivation period (from December to October), all the cultivated S. sculpera plants died during August and September. However, S. sculpera plants lowered from 5 to 15 m and grew to 90.8 ± 13.1 cm in July. The seawater temperature at 15 m depth was similar to the upper level of thermal tolerance demonstrated by juvenile S. sculpera in the indoor culture experiments (16℃ or lower). The plants were subsequently lowered to 25 m depth in August, which eventually led to their maturation in October. The present study confirmed that improved growth rates and a delay in biomass loss can be achieved by adjusting the depth at which the seaweeds are grown during the cultivation period. These results will contribute to the establishment of sustainable cultivation systems for S. sculpera.

본 연구는 여성마약중독자의 단약 후 유지·재발 및 회복과정에 영향을 주는 요인들을 구체적으로 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 마약에 중독된 이후 재발을 반복하다가 회복중인 여성 10명을 연구참여자로 선정하였고 심층면담을 실시하였다. 원자료는 Giorgi의 기술적 현상학적 방법에 근거하여 분석을 진행했다. 분석결과, 대부분 여성참여자들은 성장과정에서 주변으로부터 차별과 냉대를 겪었다. 어려운 현실로부터 탈피하기 위해 또는 호기심 때문에 마약에 빠져들었다. 마약 살 돈을 벌기 위해 유흥업소를 전전하였고 판매상으로 전락하기도 했다. 이들은 오랜기간 동안 마약의 늪에 갇혀 있었다. 이들이 선택한 마약은 극한 성적쾌락을 주었고 마약에 길들여진 몸으로 인해 쉽게 회복이 어려웠다. 재발이 반복되면서 몸과 마음은 더 피폐해졌다. 생애과정에서 경험한 다양한 트라우마는 마약중독을 더 악화시키는 요인이 되기도 했다. 하지만 종교적 회심 또는 실존적 각성, 사회적 지지는 회복과정에서 중요한 자원이 되었다. 연구결과에 근거하여 삶의 재구성에 기여할 수 있는 영성과 실존 프로그램과 트라우마 치료접근 등을 제언하고자 한다.

An application of the instrumented indentation technique has been expanded from the measurements of hardness and elastic modulus to the analysis of residual stress. A slope of the indentation loading curve increases (or decreases) according to compressive (or tensile) residual stress. A theoretical equation has been established for quantifying residual stress from the slope change. However, a precise observation of the remnant indents is indispensible because the theoretical approach needs actual contact information. In addition, the conventional hardness test is still used for predicting the residual stress distribution of welded joints. Thus, we observed the three-dimensional morphologies of the remnant indents formed on artificial stress states and analyzed stress effects on morphological recovery of the indents. First, a depth recovery ratio, which has been regarded as a sensitive stress indicator, did not show a clear dependency with the residual stress. Thus an analysis on volumetric recovery was tried in this study and yielded a inverse proportional behavior with the residual stress. In addition, an elastic to plastic volume recovery ratio showed more significant correlation with the residual stress.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of recovery from disease in the patients doing a kind of Buddhist meditation, and to develop a grounded theory about meditation. Method: Data was collected by an in-depth interview using tape-recordings from sixteen participants doing meditation. The data was analyzed using the grounded theory method proposed by Strauss and Corbin(1998). Result: The core category was discovering the true self. The participants began to do meditation because of their disease. They experienced obstacles due to incomplete religious acceptance. However, their faith grew gradually based on religious experiences that were indescribable. Finally, they entirely trusted the inner healer, which is emphasized in meditation. The strategies that they used were self reflection and seeking help for accepting deep meditation. They were stabilized in physical, psychological and social daily living. The processes of discovering the true self were identified as entering religious discipline, embodying religious discipline, self-accomplishing religious faith, and recovering mind-body health. Conclusion: This study provided the understanding of mind-body integration. Empirical research may be needed to prove scientifically the effects of meditation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the recovering process of men who had abused alcohol and has lived in a therapeutic community. Methods: Individual in-depth interviews were used to collect data from 10 of these men who has lived in the therapeutic community for more than one year. Qualitative data from field notes and transcribed notes were analyzed using the grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss and Corbin. Results: The core category about the recovering process of the men who had abused alcohol and are now in the therapeutic community was identified as "reconstructing a broken life". The recovering process of these men in the therapeutic community consisted of four phases; 'self-awareness stage', 'unfreezing stage', 'readjustment stage', and 'challenging stage'. Conclusion: In this study "reconstructing a broken life", as the core category vividly showed joys and sorrows of men who had abused alcohol and has lived in the recovering process of managing the yoke of life-long disease. In this process of recovery from alcoholic dependence the men gradually adjusted themselves to their given condition. Also they gained coping strategies to care for, and protect themselves. Therefore health care providers can establish supportive programs in the clinical field to empower these men by reflecting their proactive coping strategies.

An experimental evaluation of crack propagation and post-cracking behavior in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams, using full-field displacements obtained from the digital image correlation technique is presented. Surface displacements and strains during the fracture test of notched SFRC beams with volume fractions ($V_f$) of steel fibers equal to 0.5 and 0.75% are analyzed. An analysis procedure for determining the crack opening width over the depth of the beam during crack propagation in the flexure test is presented. The crack opening width is established as a function of the crack tip opening displacement and the residual flexural strength of SFRC beams. The softening in the post-peak load response is associated with the rapid surface crack propagation for small increases in crack tip opening displacement. The load recovery in the flexural response of SFRC is associated with a hinge-type behavior in the beam. For the stress gradient produced by flexure, the hinge is established before load recovery is initiated. The resistance provided by the fibers to the opening of the hinge produces the load recovery in the flexural response.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to define and clarify the concept of 'rehabilitation' of stroke patients in the elderly. Method: For analyzing the concept of rehabilitation, this study used the hybrid model, which involves an in depth interview six stroke patients. Result: The concept of rehabilitation of patients with a stroke condition can be categorized with two dimensions; overcoming, new recovery aspects. Besides, three attributes and twelve indicators were analyzed. The concept of rehabilitation of patients with a stroke condition can be expressed as one of the following processes; It can be said that it is a process of accepting and overcoming one's physical limitations in order to overcome, and to grow resilience by making a leap from crisis to recovery with inner enforcement in dimension of new recovery. Conclusion: The rehabilitation is important for stroke conditioned patients in order to control their disease in the long term. The attributes and indicators drawn by this study could be used for tool development and useful resources of rehabilitation competence for stroke conditioned patients.

Purpose: Social support is essential for postpartum well-being, but little is known about the postpnatal social support preferred by primiparous women. This study aimed to comprehensively understand and describe the meaning of postnatal social support experience in primiparous women. Methods: The participants were seven primiparous women who were within 1 year after childbirth, recruited through purposive and snowball sampling from an online parenting community. The data were collected through in-depth interviews from November 14 to 28, 2022. Participants were interviewed face-to-face or via phone or online platform, according to their choice. Colaizzi's phenomenological qualitative research method was applied to analyze the meaning of the participants' experience. Results: Five theme clusters and fourteen themes were identified from the data. The five theme clusters are as follows: (1) Shortcomings of the childbirth and postpartum care system I learned through my experience; (2) Government policies focusing on childbirth and child-rearing rather than postpartum recovery; (3) Driving force of postpartum recovery: Shared childbirth process; (4) Childcare on my own; and (5) Conflicted between being a stay-at-home mom and a working mom under inadequate maternity protection policies. Conclusion: Despite postpartum support from the government that was perceived as inadequate, first-time mothers regained confidence and motivation for parenting with the help of family, peers, and social networks. First-time mothers need support from professionals and reliable online communities for postpartum recovery and parenting.
