Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the composition of artificial cariogenic biofilms using a Streptococcus mutans biofilm model over a period of time. Methods: We analyzed the dry weight, colony forming unit (CFU) number, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) biovolume, and acid production rate of S. mutans biofilms formed on saliva-coated hydroxyapatite discs after 26 h, 50 h, 74 h, 98 h, 171 h, and 195 h. In addition, we performed a laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy to determine the bacterial volume, EPS biovolume, and biofilm thickness. We calculated the biofilm density using dry weight and EPS biovolume. Results: Over a period of time, there was no change in the CFU number and acid production rate of S. mutans biofilms, but there was an increase in the dry weight and EPS biovolume of S. mutans biofilms. The bacterial volume, EPS biovolume, and biofilm thickness only increased in the 50-h-old biofilm; however, no change was observed in 50-195-h-old biofilms. In addition, an increase in the biofilm density was observed over time. Conclusions: These results suggest that the acid production ability of cariogenic biofilms does not change, but the biofilm density increases over time. However, due to scientific information, further research needs to be conducted in the field of dentistry to get further insights on the progression of cariogenic biofilms over time.

The purpose of this study was to examine the change of couple relationship factors predicting marital satisfaction and divorce intention over time tv comparing the couples' first year with their present year of marriage. The couple relationship factors consisted of affection, ambivalence, affectional expression, the expression of negativity. The study subjects 355 married women having preschool children aged 7 years old and elementary school students in the 6th grade. Data were analyzed by SPSSWIN with the method of MANOVA. The results of this study showed that couples in happy groups without divorce intention became less affectionate and demonstrated less affectional expression, and more ambivalence and expression of negativity over time. However, the amount of change was not as large as that of the unhappy groups. The findings of this research indicated that the decline of affection and affectional expression and the increase of ambivalence and expression of negativity were probably, as normative, a natural consequence of the transition from the first year of marriage to a more mature relationship. Therefore, the change over time was not important. However, the amount and aspects of change were the main points which researchers and practitioners should pal attention to in the future.

The change in chemical compositions of leachate and medium density fiberboard (MDF) from a laboratory-scale simulated landfill which constructed in a plastic container containing alternating layers of soil and MDF was investigated to evaluate decomposing of MDF in soil. Four treatments were conducted: 1) MDF in soil, 2) MDF only, 3) cured UF resin in soil, and 4) soil only. Molecular weight (MW) distribution of compounds in leachate from soil only treatment did not change over time. In UF resin in soil treatment, the MW distribution shifted to a lower MW distribution over time, while the peak shifted to the left indicated changing to higher MW distribution in leachate from treatment 1 and 2 contained MDF. Higher percent nitrogen in leachate was observed in MDF containing treatments due to the UF resin in the MDF. The percent carbon slightly increased in MDF only while that greatly decreased in MDF in soil treatment maybe due to bacterial activity. The percent of extractable materials from the MDF decreased greatly on day 35 compare to day 0, and subsequently did not change much on day 77. In contrast, percent holocellulose and lignin did not change much over time. No structural change of the wood fiber in MDF occurs during the study. Water-soluble materials from MDF in soil contributed the change in chemical composition of leachate.

Cedric price is an architect and educator who have had an influence on architectural thinking through teaching and projects, rather than completed buildings. The purpose of this study was to analyze the architecture of Cedric Price in terms of time. Time was an important factor to understand his architecture along with his interest in technology, so most of his architectural thinking and methodology - anti-architecture, programmatic indeterminacy, a philosophy of enabling and so on, could be explained under the consideration of time. Depending on how he considered and used the concept of time, his projects could be categorized into two groups; The first group was related to the change over time, and this group again divided into three sub categories; change of user's preference, change of external environment, and change over building lifetime. The second group was related to planning of time, which could be divided again into two categories; programmatic planning and the usage planning during the period. This categorization could provide a frame to look into his architecture, through which his projects showed the limitation in modern architecture and the possibility for contemporary architecture.

This study employs a structural time series method in order to model and estimate stochastic trend of surface temperatures of the globe, Northern Hemisphere, and Northeast Asia ($20^{\circ}N{\sim}60^{\circ}N$, $100^{\circ}E{\sim}150^{\circ}E$). For this study the reanalysis data CRUTEM3 (CRU/Hadley Centre gridded land-surface air temperature Version 3) is used. The results show that in these three regions range from $0.268^{\circ}C$ to $0.336^{\circ}C$ in 1997, whereas these vary from $0.423^{\circ}C$ to $0.583^{\circ}C$ in 2007. The annual mean temperature over Northeast Asia has increased by $0.031^{\circ}C$ in 2007 compared to 1997. The climate change in surface temperatures over Northeast Asia is slightly higher than that over the Northern Hemisphere.

본 연구는 C-arm의 각도 변화에 따라 술자의 피폭선량의 변화를 알아보고자 시행 하였다. 실험방법은 101kvp, 4.9mA로 고정하고 조사시간을 3초와 5초로 나누어 시행 하였으며 C-arm Tube를 under와 over로 위치시켜 각각 -30도에서 0, 30, 60, 90도로 변화를 주어 5회 측정하여 평균값을 구하였다. 검출기는 C-arm을 조작하는 방사선사의 위치에서 지면으로부터 160cm의 높이에서 측정하였다. 결과는 -30도에서 측정치가 가장 높았고 0, 30, 60, 90도 순으로 낮았으며 under보다 over tube 방식에서 높았다. 그러므로 방사선사의 피폭선량 저감을 위해서는 over tube 방식보다는 under tube 방식을 사용하고 각도에 변화를 줄 때에는 tube가 술자로부터 멀어지는 각도를 사용하고 가능하다면 조사시간을 단축하는 것이 같은 영상을 만들 수 있으면서도 피폭을 줄일 수 있는 방안이다.

본 논문에서는 부분 윤곽선 추출기법을 이용하여 다중 시차 영상을 위한 자동 변화 추적 시스템의 속도를 증가시키고자 한다. 기존의 변화 추적 시스템에서는 전체 영상에서 윤곽선을 추출하여 사용하였으나, 본 연구에서는 윤곽선 추출이 필요한 부분을 미리 선택하여 이 부분에서만 윤곽선을 추출하게 함으로써 처리 속도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 본 시스템은 특히 위성 영상 자료나 물리 탐사 자료 등의 방대한 영상 자료에서의 변화 탐지와 추적, 정량적인 분석 등을 위해 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Quality changes of sausages in refrierated storage for 60 days were investigated. Nine types of sausages produced in Korea were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$(3~5$^{\circ}C$), and then chemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics were evaluated on every 10 days. The proximate analysis showed considerable variation in fat (23.97%, 17.10~30.20%) with less variation in moisture (51.96%, 48.10~56.30%) and protein (12.96%, 11.40~13.95%), pH value decreased over time averaging from 6.31 to 6.22 with no significant difference. Water activity was consistent over refrigerated storage averaging 0.95. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values were still within 20 mg% though VBN for all types significantly increased over time (p<0.05). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values were well below 1.0 though TBA showed significant differences among storage periods (p<0.05). Standard plate counts (SPCs) significantly increased during storage (p<0.05) while coliform group was not counted in all cases. SPCs reached 104 CFU/g in two types after 50 days' storage and were below 105 CFU/g in all types after 60 days' storage. Instrumental texture analysis showed that springiness, adhesiveness, and hardness signficantly decreased over time (p<0.05) while no change was observed in external color. significantly decreased over time the 60-day storage period (p<0.05) while cohesiveness, chewiness and gumminess did not change. Lightness, redness and yellowness of the internal Hunter color significantly decreased over time (p<0.05) while no change was observed in external color. Sensory profile showed that flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptable after 60 days' storage at 4$^{\circ}C$. However, the shelf-life of the samples should be decided in the consideration of the growth rate other spoilage flora coupled with the bacterial growth after 50 days' storage.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with adolescent obesity, as well as any new factors that correlated with a change in the rate of obesity over time. Methods: The study used 5-yearly data collected by the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey starting from the year 2006 up until 2021 (data from 2nd, 7th, 11th, and 17th surveys were analyzed). Factors such as demographics, dietary factors, health behavioral factors, and mental health factors were studied. All data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 27.0, employing chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: This study included data from a total of 255,200 participants. Factors contributing to obesity varied with time. Over the survey duration of 15 years, low academic achievement, parents with low levels of education, low frequency of fruit consumption, low frequency of fast food intake, long periods of being seated, and high levels of stress were significantly associated with a high rate of obesity. Factors that showed a new correlation with an increase in obesity rates included living with single parents, low frequency of muscle strengthening exercises, and experiencing intense sadness and despair in the past year. Factors that were correlated with a change in obesity rates over time included household economic status, frequency of carbonated beverage consumption, frequency of intense physical activity, and frequency of alcohol consumption. Breakfast intake and smoking were not significantly associated with obesity rates in the 15-year period. Conclusions: While several factors associated with obesity remained consistent over time, several new factors have emerged in response to social, economic, and environmental changes contributed to a change in obesity rate over time. Therefore, to prevent and manage adolescent obesity, continuous research into the new emergent factors contributing to obesity is needed.

Objectives: The major objective of this study was to analyze stress response after a change to consecutive day shifts from day and night shifts in a motor assembly factory. Methods: Using a survey conducted by a labor union, we collected data on stress response index(SRI), lifestyle factors, work-family conflict and job stress before and after a shift system change. We analyzed the transition on the SRI among 222 workers. The cut-off point for the SRI was a T-score over 60. Results: The high risk stress response group was 20.3% of the population before the shift system change. After the shift system change it decreased to 11.3%. After the shift system change, social support improved, leisure time became more sufficient, work-family conflict declined, and sleep quality in the night shift week improved. In multivariable linear regression, among workers under 40 years old sleep quality on night shift, leisure time sufficiency, social support and work-family conflict contributed to the improvement of stress response. Among workers over 40, work-family conflict contributed to the improvement of stress response. Conclusions: The change to consecutive day shifts improved stress response and mediated with improved nighttime sleep, decreased work-family conflict, increased leisure time and improved work-family conflict.
