Multiscattering occurs when a laser transmits into dense atmosphere targets (e.g. fogs, smoke or clouds), which can cause depolarization effects even though the scattering particles are spherical. In addition, multiscattering effects have additional information about microphysical properties of scatterers. Thus, multiscattering can be utilized to study the microphysical properties of the liquid water cloud. In this paper, a Monte Carlo method was used to simulate multi-scattering transmission properties of Lidar signals in the cloud. The results showed the slope of the degree of linear polarization (SLDLP) can be used to invert the extinction coefficient, and then the cloud effective size (CES) and the liquid water content (LWC) may be easily obtained by using the extinction coefficient and saturation of the degree of linear polarization (SADLP). Based on calculation results, a microphysical properties inversion method for a liquid cloud was presented. An innovative multiscattering polarization Lidar (MSPL) system was constructed to measure the LWC and CES of the liquid cloud, and a new method based on the polarization splitting ratio of the Polarization Beam Splitter (PBS) was developed to calibrate the polarization channels of MSPL. By analyzing the typical observation data of MSPL observation in the northern suburbs of Nanjing, China, the LWC and CES of the liquid water cloud were obtained. Comparisons between the results from the MSPL, MODIS and the Microwave radar data showed that, the microphysical properties of liquid cloud could be retrieved by combining our MSPL and the inversion method.

가압경수로형 원자로의 정상 비정상 운전시의 열수력학적 거동을 예측하기 위해서는 원자로내기포계수의 분포를 정확히 계산하는 것이 필수적이다. 이러한 기포계수의 정확한 예측을 위하여 많은 모델들이 제시되었다. 이중 drift-flux모델은 그 계산의 정확성과 간결성에 의하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 drift-flux 모델을 사용하여 보다 더 정확한 기포계수를 예측하기 위해서는 각 상간의 슬립률과 flow regime 에 따른 기포의 운동의 변화가 정확히 고려되어야 한다. Drift-flux 모델에서는 이러한 두 가지 요소가 drift-flux parameter인 $C_{o}$ 와 (equation omitted), 에서 고려된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 $C_{o}$ 의 실험적 결정을 위하여 원자로 노심을 모사한 4개의 전열봉이 있는 비등이 발생하는 수직사각 유로를 구성하였으며, 완성된 유로내에서 기포계수의 분포 및 기포속도의 분포를 측정하였다. 국부적 기포계수 및 기포속도 분포의 측정에 사용된 방법은 이중탐침법이며 측정이 이루어진 유로내의 유동 상태는 유속이 비교적 느린 low flow rate condition이며 유로내 압력은 3기압 이하이다. 본 실험에서는 액상의 속도는 측정되지 않았으며, 따라서 $C_{o}$ 의 계산을 위하여 (equation omitted)의 실험 상관관계식을 사용하여 유로내 평균 기포계수의 함수로 나타내었다.

최근, NCW에 적합한 C4I 체계의 전투력 상승효과 평가의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 기존의연구는 체계 자체에 중점을 두었으며, 인적 요소를 중요한 요소로 고려하지 않았다. 따라서, C4I 체계의 전투력 상승효과 평가 시 기술 및 인적 요소를 고려하여 평가하는 것이 필요한 시점이라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 E-TechMan(A Combat Effectiveness Evaluation Algorithm Considering Technical and Human Factors in C4I System)이라 불리는 전투력 상승효과 평가 알고리즘을 제안한다. E-TechMan 알고리즘은 합동화력체계(Joint Fire Operating System-Korea)에 적용되어 전투력 상승효과를 평가해보았다. 또한, 기존의 연구방법인 C2 이론 및 고전 역학에 의한 결과와 비교를 하였다. 본 연구는 인적요소에 의한 영향을 반영함으로써 기존의 연구보다 현실적인 전투력 상승효과 결과를 제시했다는데 가치가 있다.

There is an urgent need to improve the tool predicting success or failure of academic achievement of nursing in Korea so as to identify as early as possible those students who should receive special instruction and to improve screening procedures for admission of nursing. The main purpose of this study is to identify the correlation between the grade point averages of courses learned and their psychological test characteristics in a baccalaureate nursing program. All 240 students, except freshmen, enrolled in Nursing Department of Seoul National University in the spring semester, 1972, participated in this study. All of the subjects completed the psychometric tests such as interest test, personality test and test of self-concept. Total grade point averages, grade point averages of general education subjects, of supporting science courses and of professional education subjects were used as performance criteria of the students. Through the calculation of product-moment correlation coefficients between the test scores and four grade point averages of each class and of total subjects, the following findings and recommendations were obtained. 1. There was so much variation in characteristics of interest test correlated with academic achievement of nursing students in each class. 2. Since the school objectives, curriculum and teaching strategies may affect predictive efficiency of characteristics of students'interest test, interest test must-be utilized in a homogeneous group in order to predict school achievement. 3. Characteristics of interest test positively correlated at significant level with total grade point averages of all subjects were scientific interest-biological, scientific interest-physical, and humanitarian interest. Scientific interest-physics: was the only characteristic positively correlated at significant level with total grade point averages and grade point averages of professional courses. 4. There were various patterns in characteristics of personality test correlated with school achievement of nursing students by class pattern and personality maturation as they progress toward higher classes. 5. A characteristic of personality test, responsibility, is in high positive correlation with academic achievement in the upper division of classes. 6. Responsibility was the sole personality factor positively correlated at significant level with total grade point averages and grade point averages of nursing courses in the total number of students. 7. There were very different correlation coefficients between characteristics of self-concept test and academic achievement according to the type of each class and type of courses they learned. 8. Characteristics of self-concept test positively correlated at significant level with total grade point averages and grade point averages of nursing courses of all students were physical self and row variability. Those who have positive concept on their own physical status and who are deficient in self-concept were higher in total grade point averages and grade point averages of professional courses than other students. 9. Scores of professional courses offered in freshmen and sophomore classes were in positive correlation with limited number of characteristics of psychological tests. In pursuit of a tool predicting successful academic achievement of nursing students, their G.P.A. during the junior and senior year of nursing will serve as the more reasonable criteria. 10. Junior students of this school were in higher positive correlation with many psychological factors than other classes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the validity of the application of the Denver II developmental screening test to Korean children. This screening test. which was developed and standardized in United States. was designed to screen for developmental delay in Korea. and to compare the levels of development of Korean children with the development of children from the U.S. Method: Quota sampling. NP To facilitate field sampling. the age range used from 0 to 6 years old. was split into 10 different age groups. Sample size was estimated according to residence. 1.054 children were recruited from Seoul's metropolitan. urban and rural areas. NP To fill the quota established. the Recruitment and testing of children was done at public health centers, pediatric outpatient clinics of general hospitals and a child care center. The 25, 50, 75 and 90 percentiles were identified by using logistic regression analysis and were calculated as norms. The items in which the ages of both 50 and 90 percent passing differed more than 20 percent by the calculation was identified for comparison. NP Result: There were significant differences found in 45 items between Korean children and the children from the City of Denver as it relates to age differences. 90% of the sample passed items among 125 items from 4 sectors, e.g., personal- social. fine motor adaptive, language, and gross motor sectors. Korean children were found to be advanced in 9 items, whereas there were significant differences found in 38 items in our comparison of the two countries for age differences when 50% of sample pass items. Korean children were found to be advanced in 16 items. NP Conclusion: The result showed that there was a discrepancy in the developmental norms. It could be explained by the differences in the developmental environment. including child rearing patterns and ethnicity. Therefore, a restandardization of the Denver Screening Test is necessary as it relates to its application on Korean children. This restandardization is necessary in order to avoid both under and over-referrals of children with developmental abnormality. The modification of items in the language sector is especially suggested.

Public concerns about hazardous health effect from the exposure to organic by-products of the chlorination have been increased. There are numerous studies reporting that chlorination of drinking water produces numerous chlorinated organic by-products including THMs, HAAs, HANs. Some of these products are known to be animal carcinogens. The purpose of this study was to estimate health risk of DBPs by chlorinated drinking water ingestion in Seoul based on methodologies that have been developed for conducting risk assessment of complex-chemical-mixture. The drinking water sample was collected seperately at six water treatment plant in Seoul at March, April, 1996. In tap water of households in Seoul, DBPs were measured wilfh the mean value of 36.6 $\mu$g/L. Risk assessment processes,. which include processes for the estimation of human cancer potency using animal bioassay data and calculation of human exposure, entail uncertainties. In the exposure assessment process, exposure scenarios with various assumptions could affect the exposure amount and excess cancer risk. The reference dose of haloacetonitriles was estimated to be 0.0023 mg/kg/day by applying dibromoacetonitrile NOAEL and uncertainty factor to the mean concentration. In the first case, human excess cancer risk was estimated by the US EPA method used to set the MCL (maximum contaminant level). In the second and third case, the risk was estimated for multi-route exposure with and without adopting Monte-Carlo simulation, respectively. In the second case, exposure input parameters and cancer potencies used probability distributions, and in the third case, those values used point estimates (mean, and maximum or 95% upper-bound value). As a result, while the excess cancer risk estimated by US EPA method considering only direct ingestion tended to be underestimated, the risk which was estimated by considering multi-route exposure without Monte-Carlo simulation and then using the maximum or 95% upper-bound value as input parameters tended to be overestimated. In risk assessment for Trihalomethanes, considering multi-route exposure with adopting Monte-Carlo analysis seems to provide the most reasonable estimations.

The amount of the Korean export & import in 1987 reached $88.3 billion which was 1.75% of the total world trade and the proportion of foreign dependence to G.N.P was 74.5%. From these facts, we can infer that the development of national economy is largely dependent upon trade. Therefore the role of transportation, especially Ocean transportation, as a basis of economic development through trade is one of the main factors that can not be passed over. Here, We can define that a port as a subsystem of transportation determines the efficiency of the total transportation system. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to contribute in improvement of the efficiency in port, reinforcement of the international competitiveness for exporting goods by the analysis of the cargo handling charges. In order to do this, this paper deals the case of B.C.T.O.C. Furthermore, this study gives some important informations related to the level of tariffs for establishing an autonomous port administration. The Summary of the conclusions of this paper is as follows ; 1) The object of port administration in Korea has been emphasized on the maximization of efficiency in using the port facilities. Nowadays, however, it should be moved to a direction that port is operated under the compound aims considering the public interests and economy. 2) For a criterian of tariff calculation, A tariff system based on the cost accounting is desirable. In general it is recommended that the cost for construction, management, and operation of port is compensated by the revenue from port operation. Therefore, it is necessary for the administration bodies of each port to establish a tariff system on the basis of the independent profit system. 3) For the investigation of actors of tariff adjustment by the Break-even point analysis, (1) When we conducted the B.E.P analysis using total cost as cost term, we got 3.8% discount in tariff at 12% of target profit rate and 1.5% discount at 15% of rate. when we set the target profit rate as 17% we could have the proper tariff level. (2) When using operating cost as cost term, we got 13.1% discount in tariff at 12% of target profit rate and 10.9% discount at 15% of rate. When setting the target profit rat as 28%, we could have the proper tariff level. 4) Comparing with the tariffs of foreign ports for the basic terminal rate, The tariff level of B.C.T.O.C showed 33% of stevedoring charge and 80% of marshalling charge incurred at Kobe port. The comparison with Singapore port gave 50% of transhipment charge and 17% - 20 % of stevedoring charge. 5) We found that the financial structure of B.C.T.O.C was better than those of other companies and the worth fixed assets ratio was too low. The fact of low worth fixed assets ratio implies that the cargo handling facilities should be increased. Moreover, The return of assets for B.T.T.O.C was good but non-operating expenses were still contained too much in. Therefore, we think that it is necessary for B.C.T.O.C. to rationalize business management. Although the present cargo handing charge for B.C.T.O.C is a proper level in terms of a public corporation, for the final recommendation in connection to the results, It is required to take the rationalization process for business management.

이 연구는 휴광된 문명광산 주변의 토양과 식물의 유기적 관계규명을 위해 토양시료를 왕수, 1 M $MgCl_2$, 0.01 M $CaCl_2$ 및 0.05 M EDTA 등 다양한 추출제로 전처리하여 As 및 중금속을 분석하였다. 화학분해 방법에 따른 함량은 왕수 > 0.01 M $CaCl_2$ > 1 M $MgCl_2$ > 0.05 M EDTA 순으로 나타났으며 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 원소별 생물학적 농축계수(BAC)는 Cd, Cu 및 Zn 함량이 As와 Pb에 비해 상대적으로 높은 결과를 얻었다. 이 연구에서 식물농도에 영향을 주는 물리화학적 특성을 이용하여 단계별 다중선형회귀분석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과는 As 및 중금속의 농도 예측에 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 농가의 1일 평균 쌀소비량인 287 g을 적용하여 세계보건기구의 미량원소 1일 섭취 최대허용량과 비교한 결과 Cd와 As에서 각각 73.7%, 51.8%의 높은 섭취량을 보였다. 그러므로 현재까지 발현되지는 않았지만 광산주변 거주자들이 지역에서 재배된 쌀을 장기간 섭취할 경우 As 및 중금속 농축에 의한 건강의 악영향이 발생될 수 있으므로 적절한 처리가 요구된다.
