Although extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ entry through the voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ channels plays an important role in the spontaneous phasic contractions of the pregnant rat myometrium, the role of the T-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels has yet to be fully identified. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the T-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel in the spontaneous phasic contractions of the rat myometrium. Spontaneous phasic contractions and $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ were measured simultaneously in the longitudinal strips of female Sprague-Dawley rats late in their pregnancy (on day 18 ${\sim}$ 20 of gestation: term=22 days). The expression of T-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel mRNAs or protein levels was measured. Cumulative addition of low concentrations (< 1 ${\mu}M$) of nifedipine, a L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker, produced a decrease in the amplitude of the spontaneous $Ca^{2+}$ transients and contractions with no significant change in frequency. The mRNAs and proteins encoding two subunits (${\alpha}$ 1G, ${\alpha}$ 1H) of the T-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels were expressed in longitudinal muscle layer of rat myometrium. Cumulative addition of mibefradil, NNC 55-0396 or nickel induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the amplitude and frequency of the spontaneous $Ca^{2+}$ transients and contractions. Mibefradil, NNC 55-0396 or nickel also attenuated the slope of rising phase of spontaneous $Ca^{2+}$ transients consistent with the reduction of the frequency. It is concluded that T-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels are expressed in the pregnant rat myometrium and may play a key role for the regulation of the frequency of spontaneous phasic contractions.

A long-term water quality study has been initiated by the Korean Ministry of Environment(MOE) - The G-7 Project--in cooperation with two national research institutes, an University research tn and a consulting firm. This study includes the development of computer software for total water quality management system, so called ISWQM (Integrated System of Water Quality Management). ISWQM includes four major components: a GIS database; two artificial intelligence (AI) based expert systems to estimate pollutant loadings and to provide cost-effective wastewater treatment system for small and medium size urban areas; and computer programs to integrate the database and expert systems. ISWQM is to provide user-friendly Decision Support System (DSS) for water quality planners. A GIS was used to create spatial database which stores all the necessary data to n DSS. GIS was also used to integrate the four components of ISWQM from data creation to decision making through Graphic User Interface (GUI). The results from the first phase of this study showed that GIS would provide an effective tool to build DSS using expert system.

The initial step in the construction process, estimating appropriate construction time and expense is the most important factor that would influence the result of the construction. In order to enhance productivity and efficiency, there is a need to analyze and manage rationally. The purpose of this project is to make a simulation model for all subway tunnel construction based on the NATM method, also give an support equipment that would make available to plan and analyze the construction. The development of simulation model is based on a real case construction analysis process and also on the reference data. It reflects restrictive elements, make it possible to modify the conditions, and not only adapt to our project's construction but other projects as well. The model developed by this project will be able to reasonably predict the construction completion time and support the process of decision making during the planning. Therefore we can expect the productivity and efficiency of the whole construction projects.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Gyeonggi provincial governments in smart city policy. In order to satisfy the purpose of the study, we closely identified how may local governments(si. gun) have been taking participated in smart city project of the central government, and its characteristics. Then we know the detailed strategies that Gyeonggi provincial governments should do. Gyeonggi-do provincial governments enacted smart city-related ordinances in 2020 and participated in the Smart City Local Council. In the future, Gyeonggi privincial government will propose amendments to the law, review participation in the central government smart city policy project, the "integrated platform construction project of the metropolitan government model", and propel Gyeonggi-do's own smart city policy based on the blind spots of the policy.

In this study, the village development promotion system was reorganized for Gimhae-si, and improvement plans and post-operation management plans were prepared through expert surveys. Through the Village Development Project, the landscape and environment of the village were improved, and the village and residents were positively changed. The Village Development Project laid the foundation for regional revitalization, giving the next generation hope for the sustainable development of the village. While maintaining the framework of the existing Rural Development Projects guidelines through case analysis of other regions, we operate educational programs for each stage by reflecting regional characteristics, and utilize and communicate with intermediate support organizations, systematically operate, and actively intervene by Eup·Myeon administration. In addition, as a follow-up management program, various follow-up management programs were being operated, such as support for capacity building such as consulting, as well as facility maintenance and support for village managers. As a result of the expert survey to review the adequacy of the improvement plan, the improvement plan derived from the overall average of 4.28 points and the standard deviation of 0 to 0.94 points for the process is judged to be appropriate. In particular, the item of 'self-reliance stage follow-up management' was very important as all experts responded with 5 points. By establishing the village development performance goals, we tried to check whether the qualitative/quantitative goals were achieved by year, and to secure quantified status data in response to changes such as resetting performance goals or adding new performance indicators. In this study, in order to improve the capacity to achieve regional development in response to the rural agreement, we prepared our own sustainable village development promotion system, governance establishment, and follow-up management plan. In addition, it is expected to be used as a reference material for the selection of new districts and the follow-up management of completed districts by establishing the village development goals.

In this study, carbon storage in the aboveground biomass, litter layer, and soil layer was calculated for abandoned mining restoration areas to determine the level of carbon storage after the restoration project through comparison with the ecological reference. Five survey sites were selected for each abandoned mining restoration area in Boryeong-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and the ecological reference that can be a goal and model for the restoration project. The carbon storage in the restoration area was 0~21.3Mg C ha^-1, the deciduous layer 3.3~6.0Mg C ha^-1, and the soil layer(0-30cm) 8.3~35.1Mg C ha^-1, showing a significant difference in carbon storage by target site. The total carbon storage was between 6.1 and 35.3% of the ecological reference, with restoration area ranging from 14.0 to 62.4 Mg C ha^-1. The total carbon storage in the restoration area and the ecological reference differed the most in the aboveground biomass and was less than 12%. Based on these results, forest restoration area need to improve the carbon storage of forests through continuous management and monitoring so trees can grow and restore productivity in the early stages of the restoration project. The results of this study can be used as primary data for preparing future forest restoration indicators by identifying the storage of abandoned mining restoration areas.

In this paper, we introduce a 1.3-㎛ 25-GHz waveguide-integrated vertical PIN type Ge-on-Si photodetector fabricated using a multi-project wafers service based on fringing field analysis in the depletion region. In general, 1.3-㎛ photodetectors fabricated using a commercial foundry service can achieve limited bandwidths because a significant amount of photo-generated carriers are located within a few microns from the input along the device length, and they are influenced by the fringing field, leading to a longer transit time. To estimate the response time, we calculate the fringing field in that region and the transit time using the drift velocity caused by the field. Finally, we compare the estimated value with the measured one. The photodetector fabricated has a bandwidth of 20.75 GHz at -1 V with an estimation error of <3 GHz and dark current and responsivity of 110 nA and 0.704 A/W, respectively.

There are positive evaluation as well as negative evaluation for Rural Industrial Park Project which was implemented since 1984 to boom up the regional economy in Korea. By conducting a survey for Rural Industrial Park enterprises located in Miryang-si, this study intends to examine the management condition of enterprises in Rural Industrial Parks and so derive the policy suggestion. According to the secondary data and the survey results, Rural Industrial Parks play an important role in the regional economy. The result of the survey shows that the enterprises are dissatisfied with excessively high distributing costs and they want improvement of roads and transportation condition. They recruit their employees mainly through advertisement and loan money from banks. One of serious problems is giving up the business due to shortage of fund or failing to find the markets. To prevent quitting business, a preliminary analysis of the feasibility of running business should be conducted. Technology and management guidance and marketing support are necessary not only for new enterprises, but for existing enterprises. Alternatives for connecting local resources and Rural Industrial Park and forming a network between local universities, institutes, and firms should be considered.
