Exposure to cadmium (Cd) has harmful effects on the liver and kidney. Resveratrol (RES) is an herbal substance that functions as a protective mediator. This study aimed to investigate the effects of RES on the histology of liver and kidney in Cd-exposed mice. Male mice were divided into 4 groups daily receiving normal saline (1 mL normal saline/d), Cd (1 mg/kg/d), RES (20 mg/kg/d), and Cd plus RES, respectively. After 4 weeks, the liver and kidney components were evaluated using stereological methods. The total volume and number of hepatocytes, and volume of fibrous tissue were respectively increased by 34%, 58%, and a 3-fold in the Cd-exposed mice in comparison to the control animals (P<0.03). On the other hand, the volume of the main vasculature (sinusoids and central veins) was decreased by 36% in the Cd group compared to the control mice (P<0.03). Considering the kidney, the results showed a 3-fold increase in the total glomeruli volume and a 7-fold increase in fibrous tissue in the Cd-treated group compared to the control mice (P<0.03). After Cd treatment, a 32% reduction was observed in the volume and length of the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. RES-treatment alone did not induce any structural changes. In comparison to the Cd group, an increase in the normal components of the liver and kidney and a decrease in the formation of the fibrous and degenerated tissues were observed in the Cd+RES-treated mice (P<0.03).

대규모의 토목공사에서 토공량의 확인은 공사비 산정의 적정성 여부와 직결되는 매우 중요한 검토항목 중 하나이다. 이러한 토공량을 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 정밀한 측량이 요구되고 있으나, 대규모 토공공사가 수행되는 시공현장에서는 토털스테이션과 같은 광학식 장비를 사용하여 토공량 확인측량을 실시하므로 관측시간이 과다하게 소요되고 이로 인하여 작업일수가 부족해져 정밀한 측량을 수행하지 못하는 사례가 빈번히 발생하게 되는 것이 현실이다. 이러한 사안은 후일 토공사 시공시 토사 반출입량의 정산문제로 발주자와 시공자간의 분쟁을 야기하는 등 현장에서 많은 문제점을 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 토털스테이션 등의 기존의 측량방법에 의해 토공량 확인측량을 실시하는 것과는 달리 VRS-RTK 측량기법에 의한 새로운 기법을 채택하여 신속하고 정확한 측량이 가능하도록 하는 기법을 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 VRS-RTK 시스템은 소수의 인원으로 원지반의 3차원 좌표를 높은 밀도로 신속하게 관측하는 것이 가능하며, 이 기법은 제한된 시간 내에 정확한 토공량을 산출할 수 있는 가장 경제적인 측량기법 중 하나라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of the study was to find grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) volume reduction in the brain reward system among patients with alcohol dependency. This study investigated regional GM and WM in chronic alcoholic patients, focusing primarily on the reward system, including principal components of the mesocorticolimbic reward circuit as well as cortical areas with modulating and oversight functions. Sixteen abstinent long-term chronic alcoholic men and demographically matched 16 healthy control men participated in the study. Morphometric analysis was performed on magnetic resonance brain scans using voxel-based morphometry (VBM)-diffeomorphic Anatomical Registration through Exponentiated Liealgebra (DARTEL). We derived GM and WM volumes from total brain and cortical and subcortical reward-related structures. Morphometric analyses that revealed the total volume of GM and WM was reduced and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was increased in the alcohol group compared to control group. The pronounced volume reduction in the reward system was observed in the GM and WM of the nucleus accumbens (NAc), GM of the amygdala, GM and WM of the hippocampus, WM of the thalamus, GM and WM of the insula, GM of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), GM of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), GM of the cingulate cortex (CC), GM and WM of the parahippocampal gyrus in the alcohol group. We identified volume reductions in WM as well as GM of reward system in the patients with alcohol dependency. These structural deficits in the reward system elucidate underlying impairment in the emotional and cognitive processing in alcoholism.

원예용 배지의 물리화학적 특성을 파악하기 위해 전세계적으로 다양한 분석 방법이 사용되고 있다. 유럽은 배지 분석방법의 표준화 연구를 지속적으로 수행해왔다. 유럽표준화 위원회에서는 유럽표준방법으로 CEN methods를 최종안까지 제출하였으며 사실상 유럽표준 배지분석방법의 제정을 확립하는 단계에 있다. 물리적 특성 중 건물함량과 수분함량은 건조 후 분석하였고, 실험 가밀도는 일정한 부피에 채워진 시료의 무게로 측정하였다. 가밀도, 진밀도, 공극률, 액상, 기상, 부피 감소율은 double ring과 sand suction table이라는 장치를 사용하여 배지를 포화, 배수시킨 후 건조시켜 분석하였다. 화학적 특성 중 pH와 EC는 부피 기준 1:5로 침출하여 분석하였다. 유기물과 회분함량은 건조와 연소 과정을 통해 분석하였다. CEN methods는 유럽표준방법으로 확립을 앞두고 있으나 더 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

밀폐된 구획실 화재에서 화원의 면적 및 위치, 화재성장률, 구획 체적의 변화가 열발생률을 포함한 주요 화재특성에 미치는 영향이 검토되었다. 이를 위해 닫힌 개구부가 적용된 ISO 9705 화재실을 대상으로 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 활용한 화재시뮬레이션이 수행되었다. 주요 결론으로서, 화원의 면적 및 위치의 변화는 최대 열발생률, 총 열량, 상층부의 최대 온도 및 화학종 농도를 포함한 구획 내의 열적 특성과 화학적 특성에 큰 영향을 주지 않음을 확인하였다. 그러나 화재성장률과 구획 체적의 증가는 최대 열발생률 및 총 열량의 증가를 가져오며, 한계산소농도의 감소 및 최대 CO 농도의 증가를 발생시킨다. 마지막으로 화재성장률과 구획 체적의 함수로 표현된 최대 열발생률의 상관식을 도출하여, 밀폐된 구획실 화재에 대한 화재성장곡선의 적용을 위한 방법론이 제안되었다.

도로 및 철도 등의 투자평가에 있어 도로부문에서 발생하는 통행시간 절감편익의 추정이 가장 중요한 부문을 차지한다. 우리나라에서 현재 적용되고 있는 대부분의 교통시설 투자평가지침은 BPR 함수의 시간-교통량 관계를 이용하고 있으며, 연평균일일교통량(AADT)에 첨두시간 교통량의 비율(설계시간 계수)을 곱한 교통량을 기준으로 산출되고 있다. 그러나 AADT 에 설계시간계수를 적용하는 문제와 우리나라의 많은 도로구간이 거의 용량상태에 다다르고 있는 상황 등으로 인하여 총통 행시간이 과다추정되는 것에 대한 문제제기가 있어왔다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방식을 대신하여, 일년간 시간대별 교통량 분포를 이용하여 총통행시간을 산출함으로써 이러한 문제를 극복하여 보다 현실성 있는 통행시간을 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제 시하였다. 일반국도를 대상으로 이 방법론의 적용효과를 분석하였으며, 이 방법론은 도로의 위계 및 유형별로 AADT를 제공하게 되면 다른 유형의 도로에 대하여서도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

This thesis is the final report which has long been studied by the author to obtain the design basis for various hydrological constructions with the specific system suitable to the natural environmental conditions in Korea. This report is divided into two parts: one is to estimate runoff volume from watersheds and the other to estimate the peak discharge for a single storm. According to the result of observed runoff record from watersheds, it is known that Kajiyama formula is useful instrument in estimating runoff volume from watersheds in this country. But it has been found that this formula shows us 20-30% less than the actual flow. Therefore, when wihed to bring a better result, the watershed characteristics coefficient in this formula, that is, f-value, should be corrected to 0.5-0.8. As for the method to estimate peak discharge from drainage basin, the author proposes to classify it in two ways; one is small size watershed and the other large size watershed. The maximum -flood discharge rate $Q_p$ and time to peak Pt obtained from the observed record on the small size watershed are compared by various methods and formulas which are based upon the modern hydrological knowledge. But it was fou.d that it. was not a satisfied result. Therefore, the author proposes. tocomputate $Q_p$, to present 4.0-5.0% for the total runoff volume ${\Sigma}Q$.${\Sigma}Q$ is computed under the assumption of 30mm 103s in watershed per day and to change the theoritical total flow volume to one hour dura tion total flow rate when design daily storm is given. Time to peak Pt is derived from three parameters which are u,w,k. These are computed by relationship between total runoff volume (ha-m unit)and $Q_p$. (C.M.S. unit). Finally, the author checked out these results obtained from 51 hydrographs and got a satisfied result. Therefore the author suggested the model of design dimensionless unit-hydrograph. And the author believes that this model will be much available at none runoff record river site. In the large size watersheds in Korea when the maximum discharge occurs, the effective rainfall is two consequtive stormy days. So the loss in watershed was assutned as 6Omm/2days,and the author proposed 3-hour-daration hydrograph flow distribution percentage. This distribution percentage will be sure to form the hydrograph coordinate.

To adequately analyze flows in pipe or duct network system, traditional node-based junction coupling methods require the junction loss which is specified by empirical or analytic correlations. In this paper, a new finite volume junction coupling method using a ghost junction cell is developed by considering the interchange of linear momentum as well as the important wall-effect at junction without requiring any correlation on the junction loss. Also, boundary treatment is modified to preserve the stagnation enthalpy across boundaries, such as pipe-end and the interface between junction and branch. Also, the computational accuracy and efficiency of the Godunov-type finite volume schemes are investigated by tracing the total mechanical energy of rapid transients due to sudden closure of valve at downstream end.

This paper shows the entire future market volume of the HTS power industry, one of main smart grid equipment, in the case of the final market penetration ratio reaching 100% in the domestic market (South Korea). In this paper, the market penetration ratio is determined using the judgment method, with the market penetration S-curve induced using the Delphi method and the Product Life Cycle from 2011 (supposed launching year, not realistic physical year), to 2050 (expected final target year). This paper analyzes the HTS market penetration ratio of each stage, apparent innovation, early adapters, and the early/late majority and laggard stage, using the S-curve, thus calculating the total future market volume of HTS equipment in the positive sense. Finally, this paper estimates the quantitative analysis results for the HTS4-items (cable, FCL, transformer, rotation machine) of each year within the domestic market.

This paper deals with the cost reduction design of a single-phase line-start permanent magnet(LSPM) motor. Due to high cost of the permanent magnet(PM), cost reduction can be effectively achieved by reducing PM volume. Therefore, motor characteristics according to the PM volume are calculated by using d-q axis equivalent circuit analysis, and the characteristic map is made. In the characteristic map, maximum torque and efficiency are shown according to motor parameters such as back electromotive force(back emf) and inductances; back emf represents the PM volume. Minimum back emf and inductances satisfying output performance are determined in the characteristic map. Then, motor geometry based on the prototype motor is optimized to get the determined parameters using response surface methodology(RSM) and finite element method(FEM). Through the presented cost reduction design, total PM volume is reduced to 32% of prototype model.
