한국의 목재 인공 건조법을 개발하기 위하여 필자의 전직 대학인 전북대학교 전 김두헌 총장님, 동농대전 백남혁학장 및 동농대교수 제위의 각별한 협조를 얻어 1956년 고액을 지불하고 미국 More Dry Kiln Co.에서 최신의 목재 인공 건조 장치를 도입하여 전북 농대 임학과에 설치하게된 것이다. 그러나 이 건조 시설을 활용하는데는 많은 지장이 있었으므로 1959년 전기 More Dry Kiln의 온, 습도 조절장치만을 이용한 소형 Dry kiln을 제작하여 본 시험을 실시한 것이다. 공시수종은 소나무, 낙엽송, 은행나무, 전나무, 밤나무 및 감나무등이며, 공시목의 크기는 것이 60cm, 넓이 10cm 및 두께 15-35mm이다. 실험한 건조 조건은 건조 온도를 일정히 ($170^{\circ}F$)하고, 관계습도를 각종으로 변화할때 얻어지는 건조 속도를 측정하는 동시에 각 건조조건에 의하여 유발되는 건조결함을 조사하여 공시목의 초기 함수율과 건조 최경함수율 특히 shell의 함수율과의 비가 이들의 결함 형성 특히 표면경화(casehardening) 형성에 미치는 영향을 구명하였으며 또한 casehardening 계산식을 유도하였다. 1. 목재내부에 형성된 응력 즉 prong이 개주할 때의 응력은 prong이 서로 접합할 때의 응력을 100으로 하는 백분율에 의하여 다음식으로 표시할 수 있다. 단, 응력 측정에 사용한 prong은 그림 1과 같이 작성하여야 한다. $CH=\frac{(A-B') (4W+A) (4W-A)}{2A[(2W+(A-B')][2W-(A-B')]}{\times}100%$ 상식은 다음과 같은 간이식을 사용할 수 있다. $CH=\frac{A-B'}{A}{\times}200%$ 2. 일정 한 건조 조건하에 건조하여 항중에 달하고, 또한 normal casehardening을 형성하는 경우에 는, 그 sample board의 shell 의 함수율은 특히 얇은 sample board에 있어서 US Dep. Agr., Forest Products Laboratory에서 발표한 EMC 보다 낮다. 3. 본 실험에서 측정한 1시간당 목재 건조 표면적 $1cm^2$ 당 증발하는 증발량 즉 건조속도를 비교 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 순위로 되었으며, 비교 검토한 5수 종중 최대치를 유하는 은행나무 MC 20% 에 있어서 최저치를 표시한 밤나무의 3.8배가 된다. (표 1 참조) (1) 은행나무 (2) 감나무 (3) 소나무 (4) 낙엽송 (5) 밤나무 특히 함수율 26% 이하에 있어서 각 함수율에 대한 증발속도치는 다음과 같은 일차식으로 표시 할 수 있으며, 그 회귀계수 유의성 검정에 있어서의 T치는 다음과 같이 각각 고율의 유의성을 표시하였다. (표2 참조) 상기중 Y는 증발속도($g/cm^2hr$.), X는 함수율을 각각표시한다. 이들 회귀직선을 도시하면 그림 2와 같다. 4. 초기함수율과 건조 최종기에 있어서의 목재의 표층 함수율 즉 shell의 함수율과의 비(SR)가 casehar dening 형성에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같다. 어떤 SR 값에 관하여 그 SR 값 이하를 유하는 총개제수(N) 중 CH 제4급이 출현하는 수(D)의 확율 즉 N에 대한 D의 출현확율 P%는 표 3과 같다. (D의 출현확율 P%를 위험확율이라고 가칭한다.) 표 4에 있어서 종란의 1,2,3의 숫자는 각각 다음과 같은 사항을 표시한다. (1) CH 값 제 4급이 출현하지 아니 하는 안전한 최소 SF 값 (2) 위험을 30%를 허용하는 경우에 있어서의 SF 값의 한계 (3) CH 값 제 4급 이하가 발생하지 아니하는 위험율 100%의 값의 범위 상기한 실측 결과에 의하여 밤나무, 낙엽송등은 내부응력 형성이 용이한데 비하여 감나무, 소나무등은 내부응력 형성이 용이하지 아니하여, 특히 전나무, 은행나무등은 타수종과 동일한 건조조건에 있어서 reverse casehardening을 초래함에 비추워 타수종에 비하여 현저히 내부응력 특히 normal casehardening이 잘 형성되지 아니한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 5. casehardening을 제외한 각종의 drying defects는 long time loading에 있어서 그 내부응력이 ultimate stress를 초과할 때 나타나는 것인데 건조조건 온도 $170^{\circ}F$에 대하여 습도를 낮게하여도 그렇게 심하지 아니하나, 온도 $200^{\circ}CF$의 저습에 있어서 end coating을 하지 아니하는 경우에는 용이하게 발생한다. 특히 밤나무는 실험한 타수종에 비하여 casehardening 및 활열성 defects가 강한 것을 지적할 수 있다.

I. Introduction Since the 1970's drug abuse among young people has increasingly become a social problem in Korea. In the 1980's, drug abuse, especially glue sniffing, has become the cause of many unfortunated incidents resulting in harm to others as well as the abusers themselves. Taking into consideration of the seriousness of this problem, the Republic of Korea National Red Cross initiated a nation-wide research programme, to understand the present situation and to raise the level of public awareness. The goal of this research was to begin a nation - wide campaign against drug abuse. The research team was composed of the Advisary Committee members and the staff of the Youth Department of the Republic of Korea National Red Cross. The data were collected in February 1988 with the collaboration of the staff and volunteers in the local Chapters. The respondents were allocated nation-wide by the quota sampling method. The questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in three groups :2, 700 to junior and senior high school students, 605 to working youths, and 916 to delinquent youths. A total of 4, 221 questionnaires were collected. II. Characteristics of the Respondents The respondents in each group were selected evenly from rural and urban areas. The general characteristics of the respondents can be described as follow: in case of students, the proportions between male and female respondents, and between senior high school and junior high school students were almost evenly distributed. In case of working youths, the proportion of females (80.5%) was higher than those of the students and the delinquents groups. Delinquent youths were defined as those currently being under custody of the centers for juvenile delinquents. Of this number, 38.8% and 68.2% were junior and senior high school drop-outs respectively. The majority of them (92.6%) were male. As for the family background of the respondents, the proportion of those residing in poverty - stricken areas, and the proportion of those from broken families were higher in case of working youths and delinquent youths than those in case of students. III. Present Patterns of Drug Abuse The following summarizes the presents of drug abuse, as tabulated from the results of the survey. 1. Smoking The percentage of youths who smoke was 36% in the student group, 32% m the working youths group, and 94.4% in the delinquent youths group. 2. Alcohol 50.3% of students, 71.6% of working youths, and 93.3% of delinquent youths has experienced drinking alcohol beverages. 3. Tonic: non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages popular in Korea and Japan The percentage of those who have used tonic at least once was over 90% in all of the three groups. 4. Sedative About 70% of each group has used sedative with the proportion of working youths use higher than those in other groups. 5. Stimulants Those who have used stimulants comprised around 15% in each group. 6. Tranquilizers Somewhat less than 5% of students and working youths, and 28% of delinquent youths, have used tranquilizers. 7. Hypnotics The users of hypnotics amounted to 0.4% of students, 2.6% of working youths and 7.1% of delinquent youths. 8. Marihuana Those who have used marihuana indicated 0.7% of students, 0.8% of working youths, and 13% of delinquent youths. 9. Glue-sniffing The percentage of glue-sniffing was 3.7%, 5% in the students group and in the youths group respectively, but the proportion was unusually high, at 40.7% in the delinquent youths group. From the results of the survey the present situation of drug abuse in Korea can be summarized as follows: 1. A high percentage of Korean youths have experienced smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages. 2. Tonics (non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages), antipyretic analgesics and stimulants quite regularly used. 3. Tranquilizers, hypnotics, marihuana and glue-sniffing are more widely used among delinquent youths than the other youths. From this fact, there exists a correlation between drug abuse and juvenile delinquency. IV. Time-series Analysis of the First Experience of Drug Abuse and Deviant Behaviour The respoundents were asked when they were first exposed to drugs and when they committed deviant acts. By calculating the average age of each experience, the following pattern was found (See Figure 1). Youths are first exposed to drugs by abuse of tonic(non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages). At the age of 13, they amoke cigarettes, the use of antipyretic analgesics begins at 14 year old, while at the age of 15, they use tranquilizers, and at 16 hynotics. The period of drug abuse which starts from drinking caffeinated beverages and smoking cigarettes and ends in the use of hypnotics takes about three years. During this period, other delinquent behaviours begin to surface, that is, at the age of 13 when smoking cigarettes begins, the delinquent behaviour pattern starts with truancy. Next, they start taking money from others by using physical force. Prior to the age of 15, they are suspended from school, become hostile to adults, begin running away from home, and start using stimulants and alcohol. Soon they become involved even in glue-sniffing and in the use of marihuana. At the age of 15, they begin to see adult videos and carry weapons. Sexual promiscuity and usage of tranquilizers follows the viewing of adult videos. Consequently, by the time they reach the age of 16, they visit drinking establishments, and are picked up by police for committing delinquent acts. And finally, they come to use hypnotic - type drugs. From the above descriptions, drug abuse can be assumed to have a close correlation with delinquent behaviour. V. Social Factors Related to Drug Abuse As for the Korean youths, glue-sniffing is found to he related to aggressive delinquency, in such cases as run - aways, being picked up by the police, and taking money by force. Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is found to be related to seeing adult videos and visiting drinking establishments. Hypnotics and marihuana were found to be representive of drugs which are related to degenerational delinquency, irrespective of social delinquency. The social factors connected with these drug abuse are as follows: 1. Individual factors Male students were more heavily involved in the usage of drug than females. Youths who do not attend church were more likely to be involved in drugs than those who attend. 2. Family factors The youths who were displeased with their mothers smoking and those who thought their parents did not love each other, or those whose parents had used drugs without prescription, were more likely to he drug users. 3. School factors Those youths who found school life boring, were unsuccessful in their studies, spend most of their time with friends, feel their teachers smoke too much, those who had a positive perception of their teachers smoking were likely to he drug users. To sum up, drug abusers depend on the influence of their parents, teachers and peers. IV. Reasons for Drug Abuse Korean students have mainly used drugs to release stress (42.8%), to stay awake (19.7%), and because of the easy accessibility of drugs( 16.6%). Other reasons are due to their ignorance of the side effects of the drugs (3.6%), natural curiosity (4.2%), and to increase strength(3.O%). From the above facts, the major reasons for drug abuse among Korean youths are to release stress and to stay awake in order to prepare exams. Furthermore, since drugs are readily available, we can conclude that drug abuse is caused by the school system(such as entrance exams) in Korea. VII. Conclusion Drug usage among Korean youths are relatively less common than those of western youths. In some cases, such as, glue-sniffing and use of stimulants, the pattern of drug abuse is found. Moreover, early drug abuse is evident, and it has a close connection with deviant behaviour, resulting in juvenile delinquency. Drug abuse cannot be attributed to any one social factor. Specifically, drug abuse depends on parents, peers, teachers and other members of the community, and also is influenced by social institutions such as the entrance exam system. Every person and organization concerned with youth must participate collectively in restraining drug abuse. Finally, it is suggested that social agencial working for youth welfare should make every effort to tackle this serious problem confronted by the Korean youths today.
