The major purpose of this study is to construct a retrospective exposure assessment for benzene through a review of literature on Korea. Airborne benzene measurements reported in 34 articles were reviewed. A total of 15,729 individual measurements were compiled. Weighted arithmetic means [AM(w)] and their variance calculated across studies were summarized according to 5-year period intervals (prior to the 1970s through the 2010s) and industry type. Industries were classified according to Korea Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC) using information provided in the literature. We estimated quantitative retrospective exposure to benzene for each cell in the matrix through a combination of time and KSIC. Analysis of the AM(w) indicated reductions in exposure levels over time, regardless of industry, with mean levels prior to the 1980-1984 period of 50.4 ppm (n = 2,289), which dropped to 2.8 ppm (n = 305) in the 1990-1994 period, and to 0.1 ppm (n = 294) in the 1995-1999 period. There has been no improvement since the 2000s, when the AM(w) of 4.3 ppm (n = 6,211) for the 2005-2009 period and 4.5 ppm (n = 3,358) for the 2010-2013 period were estimated. A comparison by industry found no consistent patterns in the measurement results. Our estimated benzene measurements can be used to determine not only the possibility of retrospective exposure to benzene, but also to estimate the level of quantitative or semiquantitative retrospective exposure to benzene.

True metabolizable energy(TME) is believed a better indicator for animal performance than apparent metabolizable energy (AME) for excluding the endogenous energy losses from excreta, However few researches have been conducted to compare superiority of any energy systems through practical animal feeding tests. Present study was to compare the energy systems in young chicks in terms of predictability of energy intake for the birds performances including body energy retention and of methodological accuracy by evaluating reproducibility and additi-vity of energy values of feed ingredients and compound diets. Five ingredients such as yellow corn wheat soybean meal fish meal and wheat bran were measured for their various biological energy values. in the first feeding trial chicks were restric-ted-fed the basal diet at 80, 60 and 40% on weight basis of the amount of feed ingested by chicks fed ad libitum the same diet. chicks in the second trial were also restricted-fed diets at levels of 80, 70, 60 and 50% on energy basis of the amount consumed by the basak duet group fed ad libitum The diets in the latter trial were however composed of differeent formulations from the basal diet. One-week-old Single Comb White Leghorn male chicks were individually alloted in a cage on 10 cages/treatment basis and fed the diets for 14 days. Individual carcass energy was measured after the feeding trials. Coefficients of variation of energy measurements were lesser for nitrogen-corrected AME and TME(AMEn & TMEn respectively) than AME and TME values suggesting taht reprodu-cibility of energy determinations by former systems could be better than the latters. The coeffi-cients for AME and TME were almkost of the same values. Additivity obtained by the rations between the calculated values and catual measurements appeared quite satisfactory for all the energy systems. Those of AME and TME however were relatively better than the other systems. Regression coefficient ${r}^2$ between energy intake by various systems and chick performances appeared higher for TME, AMEn and TMEn than AME implying that the former systems could provide better predictability for body weight gain and energy retention than the AME. The ${r}^2$ values for TME and AMEn particularly for body weight gain were on the average 0.967 and 0.960 respectively. In conclusion TME or AMEn can be recommended as choice for dietary energy system in terms of performance predictability of the birds and of procedural convenience for the measurements.

작물 모델의 개발과 검증에 사용되는 생체중 자료는 파괴적 샘플링을 통해 얻어져 왔다. 파괴적 샘플링이 가지는 단점을 보완하기 위해 저가형 3D 센서인 Kinect 센서와 무료 공개 소프트웨어들을 사용하여 생체중을 추정하는 기법을 개발하였다. 특히, 많은 작물모델들이 개발되어 있지 않은 배추를 대상으로 입체이미지를 생성하여, 그로부터 얻어진 부피와 생체중 추정치의 신뢰도를 분석하고자 하였다. 크기가 다른 배추 결구 부위를 스캔하기 위해 Kinect 센서와, Microsoft가 무상으로 제공하는 Software Development Kit 내 Kinect Fusion Explorer 프로그램을 사용하였다. 개별 배추의 입체이미지를 생성하기 위해 3D 그래픽 편집 소프트웨어인 Meshlab을 활용하여 배경과 불필요한 물체를 수동으로 제거하였다. 또한, 불완전한 입체모델로부터 생체중 추정을 위해 3D 프린터 소프트웨어인 Makerbot Desktop 을 사용하여 배추를 생성하기 위해 필요한 플라스틱 필라멘트 소모량을 추정하였다. 입체모델 편집 프로그램인 Blender를 사용하여 부피를 추정하였을 때, 실제 부피에 비해 17.6%에서 2160.6% 범위의 상당한 오차가 있었다. 반면, 필라멘트 소요량은 실제 배추 생체중 변이의 98.7%를 설명할 수 있었다. 또한, 이들의 상관관계는 5% 수준에서 유의하였다. 이러한 결과들은 직접적인 부피 계산 절차를 제외하더라도 간편하게 생체중을 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다. Kinect 센서를 사용하여 배추의 생체중 추정이 가능하다는 것이 확인 되었으나, 기존의 고가형 3D 센서에 비해 낮은 해상도와 주간에 활용이 어려운 점이 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 배추 생육 모델의 시계열적 검증 자료를 Kinect 센서를 이용하여 간편하고 신속하게 획득할 수 있어 모델의 불확도를 감소하는 데에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 후속 연구에서 보다 저렴한 가격대의 3D 센서들을 대상으로 야외 및 주간조건애서 작물의 생체중 측정 가능성에 대해 검토하고 작물 모형 개발 및 개선을 위한 기술개발이 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Intraoral scanners, desktop scanners, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) are being used in a complementary way for diagnosis and treatment planning. Limited patient-based results are available about dimensional reproducibility among different three-dimensional imaging systems. This study aimed to evaluate dimensional reproducibility among patient-derived digital models created from an intraoral scanner, desktop scanner, and two CBCT systems. Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine arches from sixteen patients who were candidates for implant treatments were enrolled. Different types of CBCT systems (KCT and VCT) were used before and after the surgery. Polyvinylsiloxane impressions were taken on the enrolled arches after the healing period. Gypsum casts were fabricated and scanned with an intraoral scanner (CIOS) and desktop scanner (MDS). Four test groups of digital models, each from CIOS, MDS, KCT, and VCT, respectively, were compared to the reference gypsum cast group. For comparison of linear measurements, intercanine and intermolar widths and left and right canine to molar lengths were measured on individual gypsum cast and digital models. All measurements were triplicated, and the averages were used for statistics. Bland-Altman plots were drawn to assess the degree of agreement between each test group with the reference gypsum cast group. A linear mixed model was used to analyze the fixed effect of the test groups compared to the reference group (α=0.05). Result: The Bland-Altman plots showed that the bias of each test group was -0.07 mm for CIOS, -0.07 mm for MDS, -0.21 mm for VCT, and -0.25 mm for KCT. The linear mixed model did not show significant differences between the test and reference groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The linear distances measured on the digital models created from CIOS, MDS, and two CBCT systems showed slightly larger than the references but clinically acceptable reproducibility for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Whereas NIR spectroscopy has been applied in agriculture for more than 20 years, few studies refer to those plant substances occurring only in smaller amounts. Nevertheless there is a growing interest today to support efficiently activities in the production of high-quality medicinal and spice plants by this fast and non-invasive method. Therefore, it was the aim of this study to develop new NIR methods for the reliable prediction of secondary metabolites found as valuable substances in various plant species. First, sophisticated NIR methods were established to perform fast quality analyses of intact fennel, caraway and dill fruits deriving from single-plants [1]. Later on, a characterization of several leaf drugs and the corresponding fresh material has been successfully performed. In this context robust calibrations have been developed for dried peppermint, rosemary and sage leaves for the determination of their individual essential oil content and composition [2]. A specially adopted NIR method has been developed also for the analysis of carnosic acid in the leaves of numerous rosemary and sage gene bank accessions. Carnosic acid is an antioxidative substance for which several health promoting properties including cancer preservation are assumed. Also some other calibrations have been developed for non-volatile substances such as aspalathin (in unfermented rooibos leaves), catechins (in green tea) and echinacoside (in different Echinacea species) [3]. Some NIR analyses have also been successfully performed on fresh material, too. In spite of the fact that these measurements showed less accuracy in comparison to dried samples, the calibration equations are precise enough to register the individual plant ontogenesis and genetic background. Based on the information received, the farmers and breeders are able to determine the right harvest time (when the valuable components have reached their optimum profile) and to select high-quality genotypes during breeding experiments, respectively. First promising attempts have also been made to introduce mobile diode array spectrometers to collect the spectral data directly on the field or in the individual natural habitats. Since the development of reliable NIRS methods in this special field of application is very time-consuming and needs continuous maintenance of the calibration equations over a longer period, it is convenient to supply the corresponding calibration data to interested user via NIRS network. The present status of all activities, preformed in this context during the last three years, will be presented in detail.

Glucose, fructose and sucrose being the main sugars that can be found in natural fruit juice. Many instrumental methods, such as GC, LC, electrochemical or spectrometric methods provide information about both the total content of sugars and the specific concentration of each carbohydrate[1]. The simplicity of sample handling and measurement in the near IR(NIR) wavelength region, which allows the use of long pathlength, optical glass cells and optical fibers, makes NIR a good alternative for sugar determination [2]. In the present study, six varieties of persian grapes were harvested at intervals through august to october and analysed for sugars by NIR. The results were processed by principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) analysis. Sample juice was prepared by squeezing through gauze from crashed grape. This solution was treated by zinc ferrocyanide prior to analysis in order to eliminate colored compounds and all optically active nonsugar substances. For glucose and fructose the most characteristic wavelengths were 1456nm corresponding to the first harmonic O-H stretching and the second at 2062nm corresponding to O-H stretching and deformation; secondary characteristic combination bands were also seen at 2265 nm (O-H and C-C stretching) and at 2240 nm (C-H and C-C stretching). However these spectra were taken over a wavelength range from 1100-2500nm at room temperature of 25-$30^{\circ}C$. To test the accuracy of the described procedure, samples of six varieties of grape were analysed by the proposed NIR and a standard method[2]. Good agreement were found between these two sets of the results. To perform the recovery studies , samples of grape juices previously analysed by the proposed method, were spiked with known amounts of each individual sugars and then analysed again. Relative standard deviations varied from 1.4 to 1.8% for six independent measurements of individual and total sugar concentration. In the analysis of real and synthetic samples, precise and accurate results were obtained , providing accuracy errors lower than 1.9% in all cases. Average recoveries of ${97}{\pm}{4%}$ for total sugar and between ${95}{\pm}{5%}$ and ${99}{\pm}{2%}$ for sing1e sugars demonstrate the applicability of the methodology developed to the direct analysis of grape Juice.

The purpose of this study is to survey and analyze domestic fashion education institution's program on apparel prototype and thereupon, address the problems and find their solutions, and thereby, provide for some basic data useful to improve the basic patterns of apparel and ultimately, help reinforce the professional and practical apparel design education. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; 1. 85.1% of the subjects finished graduate or higher courses. Almost all of the college and junior college teachers finished graduate or higher courses, while only 31.6% of those teaching at technical institutes finished graduate or higher courses. Such a finding suggests that colleges tend to employ their faculty members based on their academic background but that technical institutes value the practical ability of their faculty more. 2. As a result of surveying the types of basic patterns used by teachers, it was found that 72.3% of them were using two or more patterns. The basic pattern preferred most by our teachers was Japanese culture institute's type (71.3%), followed by the US FIT type (24.5%), Lim Won-Ja's type (22.3%), French ESMOD type (17.0%). 96.3% of our apparel design students were making their basic patterns as instructed by their teachers. 3. 67.0% of our students were using their conceived sizes for production of their basic patterns, 14.9% were referring to the ready-made sizes, 8.5% were relying on their teachers' individual experiences, and 9.6% were using their own cord sizes. In order to survey the difference between teachers' sizes (ready-made sizes or individual experienced ones) and business sizes used, the basic body measurements used for ready-made apparels were surveyed to be compared with the national standard body sizes set in 1997 for women aged between 18 and 24. As a result, it was found that the ready-made sizes used for apparel production prototypes than teachers' ones were nearer the national standard sizes. Such a finding suggests that it may well be necessary for teachers to be more connected with the apparel businesses and thereby, teach their students in a more realistic way with correct information. 4. 83.0% of the subject teachers were tacking their basic patterns to be well fitting, and 76.9% of these teachers were tacking the patterns in reference with students' individual body sizes. In all, 97.4% of the subject teachers were guiding the tacking process, which suggests that the flat patternmaking is taught primarily for customized apparels. As a result of comparing the fitness of basic patterns with those of each body part, it was found that teachers were most dissatisfied with the fitness of shoulders and arm hole depth. Therefore, it will be necessary to reclassify the body types or find other drawing techniques to improve the fitness of such body parts. Nevertheless, teachers were willing much (4.18) to develop their own educational basic patterns for themselves. Lastly, it is hoped that this study will be followed up by future studies on educational prototypes covering diverse body shapes and those on practical implementations of those prototypes for students.

ADCP는 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 하천을 횡단하면서 단시간에 유속과 유량을 측정할 수 있는 장비이다. 본 연구는 현장 하천에서 ADCP를 이동식으로 운용하여 측정한 유속, 유량 자료를 동일한 지점에서 측정한 유속-면적법과 비교하여 ADCP를 이용한 유속, 유량 자료의 특성을 살펴볼 목적으로 수행되었다. ADCP에 의해 측정된 수심 분포는 직접 측심에 의해 측정한 수심 분포와 거의 일치하였다. ADCP로 측정한 유속은 순간적이므로 개별 연직유속분포는 시간평균한 유속-면적법 자료와 차이가 있었으나 유속 측선의 좌우에 근접한 자료를 공간적으로 평균할 경우 그 차이는 감소하고 유사한 유속 패턴을 나타내었으며, 왕복하여 반복한 측정 자료를 평균할 경우에도 시간평균한 자료와 비슷한 연직유속분포를 나타내었다. 수평유속분포의 경우 ADCP의 개별 자료 및 이를 중간단면적법에 해당하는 구간 하폭만큼 평균한 자료 역시 유속-면적법 자료와 잘 일치하는 양상을 나타내었다. 유량의 경우 한 지점에서 수 회 이상 평균한 값은 유속-면적법과 비교하여 $0.1\%{\~}9.3\%$의 차이가 나는 것으로 조사되었으며, 반복 측정 횟수를 늘릴 경우 유속-면적법 대비 오차가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 동적콘관입시험(dynamic cone penetrometer test, DCPT)과 소형충격재하시험(light weight deflectometer test, LWDT)을 다짐품질 관리에 적용하기 위해서, 서로 다른 성토재료를 사용하는 국내의 두 토공사 현장을 대상으로 DCPT, LWDT, 평판재하시험(plate load test, PLT)을 수행했다. 동일한 조건에서 수행되었음에도 DCPT와 LWDT 결과는 위치에 따라 변동성이 매우 컸다. 이는 위치에 따라 변동성이 큰 초기 타격 시의 측정값이 시험 결과에 큰 영향을 주었기 때문으로, 두 번째 타격까지를 예비타격으로 간주하고 이후 측정값을 바탕으로 도출된 결과를 다짐품질 지표로 활용하는 것이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 시험 조건에서 수행된 DCPT, LWDT, PLT 결과는 서로 높은 상관성을 보였다. 특히, 일점 분석(individual point analysis)보다, 평균값 분석(average point analysis) 시 상관성이 향상되는 것으로 나타나, 인접한 여러 위치에서 수행된 DCPT 및 LWDT 결과의 평균값을 다짐품질 지표로 활용하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

An injection experiment was carried ut to investigate the pressure domain within which hydromechanical coupling influences considerably the hydrologic behavior of a granite rock mass. The resulting database is used for testing a numerical model dedicated to the analysis of such hydromechanical interactions. These measurements were performed in an open hole section, isolated from shallower zones by a packer set at a depth of 275 m and extending down to 840 m. They consisted in a series of flow meter injection tests, at increasing injection rates. Field results showed that conductive fractures from a dynamic and interdependent network, that individual fracture zones could not be adequately modeled as independent systems, that new fluid intakes zones appeared when pore pressure exceeded the minimum principal stress magnitude in that well, and that pore pressures much larger than this minimum stress could be further supported by the circulated fractures. These characteristics give rise to the question of the influence of the morphology of the natural fracture network in a rock mass under anisotropic stress conditions on the effects of hydromechanical couplings.
