  • 본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 해수면 상승이 우리나라 동해안 및 남해안 일대에 미치는 경제적 영향과 이를 방어하기 위한 최적 해안 방어비율을 광역시 도별로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 FUND(The Climate Framework for Uncertainty, Negotiation and Distribution) 모형에 우리나라에 적합한 지표들을 적용하여 분석하였다. 해당 광역시 도의 면적 대비 예상 범람 지역 비율을 분석한 결과를 보면 광역시 도별로 지리적 차이가 있어 부산광역시는 시나리오에 따라 3.19% 내외로 상대적으로 높은 범람 비율로 추정되었으나 강원도는 0.1% 내외로 낮게 추정되었다. 경제적 피해비용도 광역시 도별로 차이가 있어 경제활동이 상대적으로 활발한 부산광역시, 울산광역시 및 경상남도에서의 경제적 피해비용은 매우 높게 나타났다. 그러나 최적 해안 방어비율 추정 결과를 보면 해안선의 길이가 짧고 경제적 피해비용이 큰 부산광역시와 울산 광역시는 각각 98% 내외, 92% 내외로 높게 추정되었고 경제적 피해 규모는 상대적으로 크나 해안 방어비용 또한 높게 추정된 경상남도에서는 최적해안 방어비율이 78%~79%로 추정되었다. 이에 반하여 강원도의 경우에는 경제적 피해 규모가 작아 최적 해안 방어비율이 시나리오별로 43% 내외로 추정되었다.

  • Currently, many punitive damages (or statutory damages) and class action laws are discussed in relation to the consumer damage relief system. It is in the background of the argument that the introduction of such a victim relief system will solve many small and large consumer damages. There are many cases in which the punitive damages compensation or the class action system are introduced in relation to the food safety damage naturally. Although the introduction of such a system can clearly help the consumer to relieve large-scale damage, it can not solve all the problems at once because the company can reject the system despite the introduction of such a system. In particular, class action lawsuits should have the same type of damage, but most of the damage caused by food safety is accompanied by physical harm, resulting in various complications such as the physical characteristics of the victim, the health environment. The class action system may not provide a solution in that the content and type of the damage may be different. In this regard, this study aims to investigate the introduction of the food safety damage relief system through the introduction of an administrative dispute settlement system by an administrative agency that occupies an absolute position in the existing consumer protection from this point of view. In reality, the Food and Drug Administration, which is the largest among government agencies related to food, operates a passive attitude consumer protection system such as function like guidance, supervision and surveillance. And it is necessary to make a complementary proposal. In the current law, there is only a small part of the consumer protection work that is positively legal, and even after the damage is scientifically identified, it is not possible to present the solution to the damage suffered by the consumer through legislation. This is a fact that has been raised. In this paper, we propose a reasonable and rapid disaster relief procedure through a separate mechanism within the administrative agency, which is the administration agency, that the dispute settlement procedure due to food safety damage is insufficient by solving the case through the court through counseling, dispute adjustment and civil proceedings. In order to solve the problem of food insecurity and the food industry, various ways of rational solution of the problem were considered. The possibility of (1) Establishment of a food safety dispute resolution committee; (2) Establishment of a food safety disaster relief committee; and (3) Establishment of a food safety disaster relief committee was discussed. In addition, a plan for the creation of a food damage compensation fund was also proposed.

  • As utilization of radiation in medicine, industry and biochemical research increases, the protection against radiation damage has become an important issue. Natural products such as herbal medicines are beginning to receive attention as modifiers on the radiation response. In the present study, the protective effect of a herb, Menthae Herba, against radiation-induced DNA damage was evaluated using alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE; comet assay) in the mouse peripheral blood Iymphocytes and the micronucleus formation test in the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The tail moment, which was a marker of DNA damage in the SCGE, and the frequency of micronuclei was decreased in groups treated with Mentae Herba extract before exposure to 200 cGy of gamma-ray. We also confirmed its activities to scavenge DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. These experiments demonstrated that Menthae Herba was effective at reducing the radiation-induced damage of DNA and scavenging free radicals. It is plausible that scavenging of free radicals by Menthae Herba may have played an important role in providing the protection against the radiation-induced damage to the DNA. These results indicated that Menthae Herba might be a useful radioprotector and that radical scavenging appears to be one of the mechanisms of radiation protection.

  • This paper presents a vibration displacement measurement and damage identification method for a space truss structure from its vibration videos. Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) algorithm is combined with adaptive threshold strategy to detect the feature points of high quality within the Region of Interest (ROI), around each node of the truss structure. Then these points are tracked by Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm along the video frame sequences to obtain the vibration displacement time histories. For some cases with the image plane not parallel to the truss structural plane, the scale factors cannot be applied directly. Therefore, these videos are processed with homography transformation. After scale factor adaptation, tracking results are expressed in physical units and compared with ground truth data. The main operational frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes are identified by using Subspace Stochastic Identification (SSI) from the obtained vibration displacement responses and compared with ground truth data. Structural damages are quantified by elemental stiffness reductions. A Bayesian inference-based objective function is constructed based on natural frequencies to identify the damage by model updating. The Success-History based Adaptive Differential Evolution with Linear Population Size Reduction (L-SHADE) is applied to minimise the objective function by tuning the damage parameter of each element. The locations and severities of damage in each case are then identified. The accuracy and effectiveness are verified by comparison of the identified results with the ground truth data.

  • 원자력발전소 화재방호의 목표는 화재 시 원자로의 안전정지 상태를 유지하여 환경으로의 방사성물질 누출을 최소화하며, 종사자 인명안전 및 재산을 보호하는데 있다. 소방시설은 발생된 화재를 조기 감지 및 진압하여 화재로 인한 피해를 완화시킬 수 있는 심층방어개념에 입각한 중요한 방어수단의 하나이다. 그러나 소방방재청에서 제시하고 있는 소방시설 설치기준이 원자력발전소에 특화되어 있지 않아 인허가 시 별도의 심의 절차가 요구되고 있다. 또한, 성능위주설계와 같은 규정은 작업자의 인구밀도가 비교적 낮은 원자력발전소에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 이 논문에서는 원전 화재방호와 관련된 법령의 상세 검토를 통하여 도출된 근본적인 문제점과 KEPIC FPN의 국내 원전 적용성에 대한 평가를 통하여 소방시설에 대한 기술기준에 대한 개선방향을 제시하였다.

  • In this study, we investigate whether arsenite-induced DNA damage leads to p53-dependent premature senescence using human glioblastoma cells with p53-wild type (U87MG-neo) and p53 deficient (U87MG-E6). A dose dependent relationship between arsenite and reduced cell growth is demonstrated, as well as induced ${\gamma}H2AX$ foci formation in both U87MG-neo and U87MG-E6 cells at low concentrations of arsenite. Senescence was induced by arsenite with senescence-associated ${\beta}$-galactosidase staining. Dimethyl- and trimethyl-lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3DMK9 and H3TMK9) foci formation was accompanied by p21 accumulation only in U87MG-neo but not in U87MG-E6 cells. This suggests that arsenite induces premature senescence as a result of DNA damage with heterochromatin forming through a p53/p21 dependent pathway. p21 and p53 siRNA consistently decreased H3TMK9 foci formation in U87M G-neo but not in U87MG-E6 cells after arsenite treatment. Taken together, arsenite reduces cell growth independently of p53 and induces premature senescence via p53/p21-dependent pathway following DNA damage.

  • 연료전지는 저탄소 발전원으로 주유소 내 연료전지를 설치 시 분산에너지와 전기차 충전인프라를 확충할 수 있다. 주유소 내 연료전지 설치 시 안전성 확보를 위하여 국‧내외 주유소 및 연료전지의 사고데이터를 기반으로 사고시나리오를 도출하고 사고피해예측을 위한 정량적 위험성평가를 실시하였다. 최악의 사고시나리오가 아닌 현실적으로 발생 가능한 화재 및 폭발사고의 피해범위를 산출하고, 피해영향을 분석한 결과 주유기로부터 9.0 m, 주유 중 차량으로부터 15.5 m, 통기관으로부터 4.1 m, 연료전지의 정압기 등 가스조정장치로부터 1.1 m 이상 이격 시 사고로 인한 심각한 피해 위험을 낮출 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 주유소 내 연료전지 배치 및 사고피해를 경감할 수 있는 안전대책 수립에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 boron 화합물인 BSH(Boron Sulfhydryl Hydride)의 농도와 중성자 및 감마선 방사선 조사선량에 따른 plasmid DNA의 손상 정도를 관찰하였다. Plasmid는 pBR 322(2870 bp)와 ${\Phi}X174$ RF DNA(5386 bp)를 사용하였고 조사 후 DNA의 손상 정도는 agarose gel 전기영동 상에서 관찰하였다. 중성자 조사에서는 plasmid DNA의 손상 정도는 BSH의 농도 및 조사 선량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 감마선 조사에서는 조사하지 않은 대조군과 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Plasmid DNA의 손상 양상은 BSH 존재시 중성자 및 감마선 조사에서 다소 다름을 알 수 있었다.

  • We have employed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique to examine the combined effects of low-energy electron (LEE) irradiation and $Fe^{3+}$ ion on DNA damage. pBR322 plasmid DNA extracted from E. coli ER2420 was used for preparing DNA-$Fe^{3+}$ sample. The C1s XPS spectra were scanned for LEE-irradiated and LEE-unirradiated samples and then curve-fitted. For the samples with LEE irradiation only or with Fe ion only, no significant changes from pure DNA samples were observed - a single effect of either $Fe^{3+}$ ion or LEE irradiation did not cause a significant damage. However, when these two components were combined, the DNA damage was increased quite significantly, compared to the sum of DNA damages caused by $Fe^{3+}$ ion and by LEE irradiation independently. This observation is consistent with our previous results [Radiat. Res. 177, 775 (2012)] which was done using gel-electrophoresis technique. Partial interpretation of the observed spectrum peaks was also attempted.
