The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between the learning styles and science process skills of students of the gifted class in elementary school. Subjects were forty-eight students of the gifted class who are in the fifth grade studying at the gifted class of S elementary school in Bucheon, M and Y elementary school in Incheon on learning styles and science process skills of students. Learning Style Profile (LSP) was used as instrument to survey learning style of students of the gifted class which was developed by NASSP, and consists of four categories (cognitive skills, perceptual response, orientation and teaming preferences) and twenty-four subscales. The results of this study were as follows: 1. In the learning styles test, students of the gifted class have higher scores of spatial skill, sequential processing skill, persistence orientation, manipulative preference, temperature preference and afternoon preference than general class students, but they have lower scores of discrimination skill and lighting preference, and there were statistically significant difference. 2. In science process skills test, there were statistically significant difference between students of the gifted class and general students. 3. In the correlation between the learning styles and science process skills, there was positive correlation of observing skill with spatial skill and manipulate skill of cognitive skill domain. For classifying skill, there was positive correlation with visual perceptual response, but was negative correlations with auditory and emotive perceptual response of perceptual response domain and with evening preference and verbal risk orientation of study preference domain. For measuring skill, there was positive correlation with sequential processing skill of cognitive skill domain. For formulating hypotheses, there was controlling variables, there was positive correlation with sequential processing skill and simultaneous processing skill of cognitive skill domain, and with verbal-spatial preference and early morning study preference of study preference domain. When planning and managing the gifted class, it will be beneficial and effective to consider the meaningful relations between the elements of loaming style and science process skills in order to improve science process skills.

The aim of this study was to measure the dentinal tubular fluid flow (DFF) during and after amalgam and composite restorations. A newly designed fluid flow measurement instrument was made. A third molar cut at 3 mm apical from the CEJ was connected to the flow measuring device under a hydrostatic pressure of 15 $cmH_2O$. Class I cavity was prepared and restored with either amalgam (Copalite varnish and Bestaloy) or composite (Z-250 with ScotchBond MultiPurpose: MP, Single Bond 2: SB, Clearfil SE Bond: CE and Easy Bond: EB as bonding systems). The DFF was measured from the intact tooth state through restoration procedures to 30 minutes after restoration, and re-measured at 3 and 7days after restoration. Inward fluid flow (IF) during cavity preparation was followed by outward flow (OF) after preparation, In amalgam restoration, the OF changed to IF during amalgam filling and slight OF followed after finishing. In composite restoration, application CE and EB showed a continuous OF and air-dry increased rapidly the OF until light-curing, whereas in MP and SB, rinse and dry caused IF and OF, respectively. Application of hydrophobic bonding resin in MP and CE caused a decrease in flow rate or even slight IF. Light-curing of adhesive and composite showed an abrupt IF. There was no statistically significant difference in the reduction of DFF among the materials at 30 min. 3 and 7 days after restoration (p > 0.05).

The traction system has been mainly used for rehabilitation and correction of patients with spine or gait diseases in orthopedics or at home. Some problems could occur in human body when patients forced their training using the traction system. So it needs to measure a traction force and control the training time. However, most of products on market have no sensor measuring traction force. Thus we designed and made a sensor detecting traction force using strain gauge, amplifier for transition to output signal and experiment devices for performance test. We carried out experiment of a sensor detecting a traction force and measured electric responses of it with respect to traction loads. Maximum error was within about 1% for experiments in static condition and the average error was about 0.7% for experiments in dynamic condition. We concluded that it is possible to use the developed sensor for measurement of traction force since the maximum output variation of a sensor detecting a traction force was about 0.3% in $0^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$ temperature condition.

UV-visible absorption measurement techniques using several horizone viewing directions in addition to the traditional zenith-sky pointing have been recently developed in ground-based remote sensing of atmospheric constituents. The spatial distribution of various trace gases close to the instrument can be derived by combing several viewing directions. Multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) technique, one of the remote sensing techniques for air quality measurements, uses the scattered sunlight as a light source and measures it at various elevation angles (corresponding to the viewing directions) by sequential scanning with a stepper motor. A MAX-DOAS system developed by GIST/ADEMRC has been applied to measuring trace gases in urban air and plumes of the volcano and fossil fuel power plant in January, May, and October 2004, respectively. MAX-DOAS spectra were analyzed to identify and quantify $SO_2,\;NO_2,\;BrO,\;and\;O_4$ (based on Slant Column Densities, SCD) in the urban air, volcanic plume, and fossil fuel power plant utilizing theirs specific structured absorption features in the UV-visible region. Vertical scan through the multiple elevation angles was performed at different directions perpendicular to the plume dispersion to retrieve cross-sectional distribution of $SO_2\;or\;NO_2$ in the plumes of the volcano and fossil fuel power plant. Based on the estimated cross sections of the plumes the mixing ratios were estimated to 580 $SO_2$ ppbv in the volcanic Plume, and 337 $NO_2\;and\;227\;SO_2$ ppbv in the plume of the fossil fuel power plant, respectively.

수문조사기기의 검정은 수문조사에 활용할 기기를 일관되고 표준화된 기준으로 검사하여 수문조사에 적합한 기기인지 확인하는 것이다. 이러한 검정은 국가수문자료의 신뢰도를 높이고 유지하는 기본적이고 중요한 업무이다. 검정대상기기는 강수량측정기기, 유속측정기기, 수위측정기기, 부유사측정기기, 토양수분측정기기, 증발산량측정기기로 총 6가지이며, 2009년부터 국토교통부 위탁사업으로 한국건설기술연구원(유량조사사업단)에서 수행하고 있다. 특히 유량조사사업단에서는 유속측정기기를 제외한 나머지 5개 수문조사기기에 대해 검정을 수행하고 있다. 연도별로 2009년부터 2015년까지 98대, 334대, 572대, 539대, 359대, 682대, 690대로 총 3,274대를 검정하였고, 관측기종별로 강수량 1,579대, 수위 1,589대 부유사 23대, 토양수분 33대, 증발산량 50대이다. 신청기관별로는 국토교통부(홍수통제소) 1,847대, 환경부(국립환경과학원) 4대, 한국건설기술연구원(유량조사사업단 포함) 81대, K-water 338대, 한국수력원자력(주) 91대, 일반업체 913대에 대한 검정을 실시하였다. 검정을 실시한 강수량측정기기 1,579대 중 보정없이 합격된 기기는 1,495대, 허용오차기준에 미달되어 보정 실시 후 합격한 기기는 76대이며, 불합격 처리된 기기는 8대이다. 수위측정기기는 합격이 1,586대, 기준에 미달되어 불합격된 기기가 2대로 나타났다. 강수량측정기기의 각 연도대비 통계분석 결과 보정률은 2009년 97대 중 8대(8.2%), 2010년 194대 중 3대(1.5%), 2011년 180대 중 24대(13.3%), 2012년 175대 중 17대(9.7%), 2013년 165대 중 15대(9.1%), 2014년 547대 중 8대(1.5%), 2015년 221대 중 9대(4.1%)로 다소 낮은 수치로 나타났다. 이처럼 보정률이 낮게 나타난 이유는 관할기관의 검정을 위한 유지관리 및 사업자의 사전검사 등을 통해 감소한 것으로 판단되며, 이와 같은 결과는 수문자료의 품질 및 신뢰도 향상으로 이어졌다. 그러나 여전히 선진국에 비해 수문조사기기 검정의 중요성에 대한 인프라 구축이 미흡한 실정이다. 수문조사기기 검정의 선진국이라 할 수 있는 미국의 경우 USGS에서 HIF(Hydrogical Istrumentation Facility)라는 별도 조직을 운영하여 관측기기의 렌탈, 수리, 교정 및 검정, 개발, 교육 등 이러한 작업을 일괄 수행하고 있고 조직 내 자체 시설로 수중펌프 시험소, 자연과 유사한 환경에서 테스트 하는 장소, 대형온도챔버 등을 갖추고 있으며, 이러한 시설을 이용하여 기기의 교정 및 검정, 연구 등을 현장과 비슷한 환경에서 다양한 실험을 통해 검정방법을 비교, 분석하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 현재 우리나라의 수문조사기기는 다양한 방법으로 현장에 설치되어 검정방법의 다양성이 요구된다. 향후 우리나라도 HIF와 같이 다양하고 선진화된 시설과 기술을 개선하고 다각적인 시험 과정을 통해 수준 높은 검정방법체계를 갖추려는 노력이 필요하다.

This experimental study aims to investigate the use of a wet electrostatic precipitator as a post-treatment device to satisfy the strict emission regulations for sulfur oxides and particulate matter (PM). The inlet/outlet of a wet electrostatic precipitator was installed in a funnel using a marine four-stroke diesel engine (STX-MAN B&W) consuming marine heavy fuel oil (HFO) with a sulfur content of about 2.1%. Measurements were then obtained at the outlet of the wet electrostatic precipitator; an optical measuring instrument (OPA-102), and the weight concentration measurement method (Method 5 Isokinetic Train) were used for the PM measurements and the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR; DX-4000) approach was used for the sulfur oxide measurements. The experimenst were conducted by varying the engine load from 50%, to 75% and 100%; it was noted that the PM reduction efficiency was a high at about 94 to 98% under all load conditions. Additionally, during the process of lowering the exhaust gas temperature in the quenching zone of the wet electrostatic precipitator, the sulfur dioxide (SO₂) values reduced because of the cleaning water, and the reduction rate was confirmed to be 55% to 81% depending on the engine load.

This research aims to adapt and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (K-IEPS). The original IEPS was translated into Korean according to the World Health Organization's guidelines. A total of 302 questionnaires were collected from healthcare professional students at 4 universities in South Korea. The validity and reliability of the scale were measured using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Cronbach's alpha, and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). As a result of the factor analysis, a ten-item scale with two factors (Competency & Autonomy and Perception of Actual Cooperation) was achieved. Additionally, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be .87, and test-retest reliability was .83. Our study results show that the Korean version of the IEPS is a valid and reliable instrument. Therefore, the K-IEPS can be used in measuring interdisciplinary perceptions of healthcare professional students between different occupational groups.
