The Odaesan earthquake $(M_L=4.8)$ occurred near Mt. Odae, Jinbu-Myon, Pyongchang-Gun, Kangwon Province on January 20, 2007. It has a shallow focal depth about 10 km. Its felt area covers most of the southern peninsula except some southern and western inland area. The maximum MM intensity was VI in the areas including Jinbu, Doam, Kangreung, Jumunjin, and Pyongchang. In these areas, there was a very strong shaking that caused several cracks on the walls of buildings and houses, slates falling off the roof, tiles being off the wall, things falling off the desk, and rock falling from the mountains. In order to get fault plane solutions, grid searches were performed by fitting distributions of P-wave first-motion polarities and SH/P amplitude ratios for each event. The results showed that the main shock represented right-lateral strike-slip sense and two aftershocks, reverse sense. It seems that the seismogenic fault may be the NNE-SSW trending Weoljeongsa fault near the epicenter based on the distribution of epicenters (foreshock, main shock, and aftershocks), damage area, and fault plane solution. The distribution of the epicenters indicates that the length of the subsurface rupture is estimated to be about 2 km.

Trampling stress in turfgrass fields caused by traffics often occurs in zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) fields including golf course. In order to know the influences of trampling stress on the growth and development of turfgrass, leaf and root growth, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll content and 2-DE protein analysis were conducted in the turfgrass plants subjected to various levels of trampling stress from 0 to $9,420J\;day^{-1}$ day. Shoot growth was more highly inhibited by trampling stress than root growth. Although root growth was affected by trampling with weak intensity, the highest root length was observed in the turfgrass treated with weak trampling ($1,570J\;day^{-1}$). Chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv $Fm^{-1}$) was drastically lowered by trampling stress with moderate intensity. Leaf number showed similar tendency with leaf greenness. The number was decreased as the trampling intensity was increased. Shoot dry weight was decreased showing a similar tendency with the result of shoot length. The specific protein expressions under weak trampling were related to the functions of stress amelioration. Heat shock 70 kDa protein 10 and oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 1 were the proteins increased positively under trampling stress.

The proportion of agricultural products handled through the Agricultural Products Processing Center (APC) is also steadily increasing every year, and in the case of Seongju Korean melon, a total of 10 APCs of Nonghyup and farming association corporations are in operation, and the distribution ratio is about 60% based on total production. In this study, Seongju Korean melon was selected as a target to analyze the environment load during carrying (production farm ~ APC) in the production area and the transport environment load during distribution of domestic fruits, and to analyze the environmental load for handling at APC. The vertical average vibration intensity (overall G_rms of 1~250 Hz) of truck transport measured at three transport routes from Seongju Korean melon producer ~ APC, Seongju ~ Seoul and Seongju ~ Jeju was about three times larger than that in the lateral direction and 4.5 times larger than that in the longitudinal direction, respectively. The frequency of occurrence of high-amplitude events (G) in the vertical direction compared to the measuring time was deeply related to pavement conditions in the order of unpaved farm-roads, concretepaved farm-roads, and asphalt-paved main-roads, but overall G_rms for the entire frequency band is believed to have a greater impact on vehicle traveling speed than road conditions. On the other hand, the difference in the size and direction of the vibration intensity measured by the forklift truck's main-body and the attachment (fork carrier) during handling at Seongju Korean melon APC was clear, and the vibration intensity of the forklift truck's main-body was largely affected by the stiffness of the fork and the mast according to the handling weight. Based on the field-data of the transport environment during domestic distribution measured through this study, it is believed that it is possible to develop a lab-based simulation protocol for appropriate packaging design.

Heat shock protein (HSP) expression is unregulated in tumor cells and, HSP expression is likely marker of the malignant potential of oral epithelial lesion. Furthermore, the 70kDa HSP is implicated in the degree of tumor differentiation, the rate of tumor proliferation and the magnitude of the anti-tumor Immune response. Accordingly, the distribution and intensity of HSP70 and HSP47 expression was assessed in the DMBA induced oral carcinogenesis in hamster. Golden Syrian hamsters which were 3 months-age and $90{\sim}120g$ were collected. 9,10-dimethyl -1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA) in a 0.5% solution in mineral oil was painted on the buccal pouch mucosa 3 times per week in the study group. In each control and experimental groups of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 weeks, specimen were sectioned for immunohistochemical study with anti-HSP47 and anti-HSP70 antibody. The following results were obtained. 1. HSP47 positive cells were race or negative of normal oral mucosa, increased mildly in basal and suprabasal basal layer, and spinous cell layer after experimental 6 weeks (dysplastic or CIS stage). In CIS stage, HSP47 expression is prominent in dysplastic free or normal adjacent epithelium. 2. HSP47 positive cells in connective tissue were mainly inflammatory cells, which is gradually increased from control to precancerous and cancer stage. But HSP47 positive cells after 14 weeks were decreased, especially normal and cancer adjacent epithelium. 3. The positive staining cells of HSP70 in control, dysplastic, and CIS stage were not seen. But they were mild findings in basal layer and moderate findings in spinous layer after experimental 14 weeks (cancer stage). 4. HSP70 positive cells were increased in precancerous and cancer stage than control group in connective tissue. After experimental 16 weeks, we could not find the HSP expression in cancer cells according to cancer differentiation or cancer stage. It is concluded that HSP70 or HSP47 expression is not a definitive marker of oral malignancy or malignant potential. However, with further development, HSP immunoreactivity may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for assessing the malignant potential of oral mucosal lesions.

To maintain the stability during the operation of railway vehicle, the perfect installation of rail, namely the orbit as well as the performance of the railway vehicle itself is required. The orbit of railway needs the intensity and elasticity that stands the shock and vibration due to the weight of the railway vehicle enough, Also, the driving safety during the operation of vehicle should be guaranteed, comfortable feeling of the passenger should be maintained, and the influence of the noise and vibration to the environs should be minimized. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a program that calculates the change of construction cost according to the selection of railway orbit. This study introduces the orbit design automation program according to the selection of railway orbit, and discuss the principle and the way to use of the program.

We performed the theoretical calculation of CN Violet radiation using the code SPRADIAN07 to predict the Lee et al.'s experimental measurements and to reinvestigate $C_2$ dissociation rate. CN Violet radiations are calculated under the Boltzmann and non-Boltzmann distribution using two chemical reaction sets: Park-Losev-G\"{o}kcen-Tsang and Park-Losev-G\"{o}kcen-Tsang-Lee models. Our SPRADIAN07 calculations show improvement in prediction of absolute radiation intensity of CN Violet and its decay rate by Park-Losev-G\"{o}kcen-Tsang reaction set with $C_2$ dissociation rate coefficient of $k_f$ = 1.5${\times}$10$^{16}$ exp(-71,600/$T_x$) cm$^3$ mole$^{-1}$ s$^{-1}$.

The purpose of the study was for investigating the effect of therapeutic ultrasound irradiation on HSP70 expression in knee of degraded rat articular cartilage. Knee of ten Sprague-Dawley male rats were immobilized for 4 weeks and divided at random into the control and continuous ultrasound applicated group. The continuous ultrasound applicated group was irradiated with frequency 1MHz, intensity $1W/cm^2$ for 5 minutes. The control group was sham sonication. The immunoreactivity of HSP70 was increased in degraded articular cartilage after untrasound irradiation. These results suggest that therapeutic ultrasound can enhance HSP70 expression in degraded articular cartilage.

We examine how certain occupational physical requirements affect labor transitions of disabled workers by exploiting a unique feature of South Korean Disability Insurance (DI), where award rules are based solely on an applicant's medical condition, independent of his previous occupations. We estimate the labor market response to a health shock by constructing a physical intensity measure from O^⁎NET and applying it to longitudinal South Korean household panel data. Our results suggest that health shocks initially lead to a 14 to 20 percent drop in employment and that this effect is greater for workers who previously held physically demanding occupations. Those who remain part of the labor market exhibit higher occupational mobility toward less physically demanding jobs. These findings imply that the magnitudes of income risks associated with health shocks vary depending on occupational and skill characteristics.
