Landslide researches are divided to a method of interrelationship for various factors, method of predicting landslide possibility, and method of estimating landslide risk which are occurring landslides in the natural slope. Most of landslides occurred in natural slope are caused by a heavy rainfall in summer season. Weathered soil layer located in upper side of rock mass was occurred. As well as, they are announced to have an influence to geometry, geology, soil characteristics, and precipitation in the natural slope. In order to investigate and interpret the variety of landslides from field investigation to risk analysis, landslide analysis process due to geotechnical and geological opinions are systematically demanded. In this research, the study area is located in Macheon area, Gyeongsangnam-do and performed the landslide investigation. From the results of landslide investigation and analysis, optimized standard model based on natural landslide is proposed to high technical method of landslide investigation and interpretation.

A method based on the TMS derivatives and acidic hydrolysis was developed for the simultaneous determination of free and conjugated steroidal hormones in surface water. A silylation of five natural and two synthetic steroidal hormones was achieved with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide/$NH_4I$ (1000:3) under catalysis of dithioerythritol for 60 min at $80^{\circ}C$. TMS derivatives of the steroid hormones containing multifunctional groups offer a single derivative product under this condition. The accuracy of the analytes was in the range of 87 to 110% at a concentration of 20 and 50 ng/L with relative standard deviations of less than 10%. The method detection limit was in the range of 0.01 to 0.02 ng/L for surface water. Natural steroidal hormones were detected in a concentration range of 0 to 1.03 ng/L in free form and 0 to 14.6 ng/L in conjugated form, respectively. We found that most of the natural hormonal steroids exist in conjugate forms (43 to 100%) in river water.

It is well known that implants showing no clinical mobility are successfully osseointegrated and have good prognosis. When implants are under load, their mobility begins to increase. It is of necessity to substantiate whether excessive load is on or premature occlusal force is acting prior to desirable osseointegration. Using Periotest unit, we could measure the pattern of mobility change. Consequently, osseointegrated treatment has come to success by intercepting progressive mobility and doing perceptive treatment according to the result of Periotest Value(PTV). In this study, we took records of intangible mobility of 70 osseointegrated implants. And we also measured the mobility of periodontally sound natural teeth as a standard from 30 dental personnel. Conclusions were summarized as followings ; 1. Lower lateral incisor has the highest PTV, whereas lower canine, upper canine, lower premolars and lower 1st molar have the lowest PTV in natural dentition. 2. There are little significant statistical difference of PTV between men and women in both(natural and implant) dentition. 3. In general, lower natural teeth show lower PTV than upper counterpart. 4. Mandibular implants have lower PTV than those of maxillary implants. 5. All of the successfully osseointegrated implants have lower PTV than those of periodontally healthy teeth.

In contracts for sales of natural gas between sellers and buyers, it is not suncient to only measure a volumetric quantity of gas in flowing conditions in metering station. Therefore the measured volumetric quantity must be converted to that of reference conditions. The density of the natural gas required in such a calculation can be measured directly or estimated from the equation of sate or any other experimental methods. The specific gravity meter is the apparatus used to measure the density of fluids under the reference conditions and it can be widely used in industrial areas, especially in massive flow rate natural gas industry. This study has been carried out in an attempt to improve measurement accuracy of natural gas flow rate calculation, providing the adequate installation and proper operation conditions of specific gravity meter. The test results are 1) the density measurement errors in case of using methane and standard gas as calibration gases are smaller than using methane and nitrogen gas, 2) the periodical calibration to maintain accurate density measurements is essential, and 3) the specific gravity meter is sensitive to changes of environmental conditions, especially environmental temperature surrounding the specific gravity meter.

The determinant factors of an organism's size during animal development have been explored from various angles but remain partially understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, many genes affecting cuticle structure, cell growth, and proliferation have been identified to regulate the worm's overall morphology, including body size. While various mutations in those genes directly result in changes in the morphological phenotypes, there is still a need for established, clear, and distinct standards to determine the apparent abnormality in a worm's size and shape. In this study, we measured the body length, body width, terminal bulb length, and head size of mutant worms with reported Dumpy (Dpy), Small (Sma) or Long (Lon) phenotypes by plotting and comparing their respective ratios of various parameters. These results show that the Sma phenotypes are proportionally smaller overall with mild stoutness, and Dpy phenotypes are significantly stouter and have disproportionally small head size. This study provides a standard platform for determining morphological phenotypes designating and annotating mutants that exhibit body shape variations, defining the morphological phenotype of previously unexamined mutants.

Modulus of elasticity, modulus of rigidity, damping ratio, and natural frequency of three varieties of boxthorn(Lycium chinense Mill) (Cheongyang #2, Cheongyang gugija, and Cheongyang native) branches were analyzed. Modulus of elasticity and modulus of rigidity of the boxthorn branch was determined using standard formula after simple beam bending and torsion test, respectively, using an universal testing machine. Damping ratio and natural frequency of branches were determined using a system consisted of an accelerometer, a PC equipped with A/D converter, and a software for data analysis. Relationship between the elastic modulus and branch diameter in overall varieties and branch types showed a good correlation (r$\cong$-0.81). There was, however, no correlation between torsional rigidity and branch diameter. The internal damping results were highly variable and the overall range of the damping ratio of the boxthorn branch was 0.014 -0.087, which indicated that the branch was a lightly damped structure. The natural frequency of the boxthorn branch was in the range of 89-363 rad/s for the overall varieties and branch types. A good correlation (r$\cong$0.82) existed between the natural frequency and branch diameter in overall varieties and branch type.

The study was carried out to examine the anti-obesity effects of 40% ethanol extract from green tea seed (GS) and quantitative determination of caffeine as its major compound. The specificity was satisfied with retention time and UV spectrum by analysis of caffeine using HPLC and comparison with standard compound. It showed a high linearity in the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation (R²) of 0.9974. The amount of caffeine in GS was about 4.649 mg/g (0.465%) in the three times analysis, and relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 0.452% by the validated method. The anti-obesity effects of GS were evaluated by using Oil Red O staining in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and body weight, visceral fat and lipid profiles in high fat diet (HFD)-induced C57BL/6 obese mice. Our results indicated that treatment with GS dose-dependently decreased lipid accumulation contents (p<0.001). Moreover, after oral administration for 30 days feeding with HFD-induced obses mice, GS (100 and 300 mg/kg/day) produced a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol (TC), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and visceral fat. Thus, the result of this study indicate that the GS may be a useful resource for the management of obesity.

We removed the bluish of the natural ruby successfully by vacuum annealing, and measured the color evolution with annealing time and temperature. We varied the anneal temperature and time $800\~1500^{\circ}C$ and $3\~26$ hrs, respectively. The color evolution of rubies with annealing condition was recorded by a digital camera and a color coordination visible spectrometer. We determined the optimum bluish eliminating annealing condition was $1500^{\circ}C-3hr$, which conserving the natural inclusions. We suggest the bluish shrink with diffusion coefficient of $D=(5\times10^{-3}){\exp}(-200.000/RT)[cm^2/s]$. We propose the color of ruby may be determined as the identical red color if the color difference between two samples are less than 1.0, and the color difference nay be an auxiliary standard to evaluate the color of rubies.

The restorative treatment using titanium implants has become a standard procedures in everyday clinical practice. However, there are several concerns about the use of titanium as a materials. Above all, the grayish metal color provokes esthetic problems when the soft tissue around the implants is not optimal. Recently, zirconia has been emerging as an alternative to titanium due to its white color and superior physicochemical properties. In this paper, the current findings about zirconia implants was reviewed based on the results from animal and clinical experiments. In addition, the immediate implantation protocols using the natural tooth form zirconia implants was introduced as a novel procedures and future perspectives were discussed.
