The mass mortalities have been occurring of Korean scallop Patinopecten yessoensis from 1997's to now in Korea east sea. Cages behavior and interference effect (common name; curtain effect) between scallop cages were investigated in culture grounds on the eastern coastal waters of Korea for understand to mechanism of rising about mass mortalities of Korean scallop quickly. The first experiment was carried out in circulating water channel to assess inclination angel from relationship between velocity and cages interval, velocity with culture cages position. An angle of inclination of scallop culture cages were 94.6 to 92.3 degree under a several velocity which were from 0.1 m/s and 131.9 to 118.1 degree under 0.5 m/s with cages interval were 1 m, 94.3 to 91.0 degree under velocity is 0.1 m/s and 133.2 to 122.4 degree under 0.5 m/s with cages interval were 1.5 m and 94.6 to 96.4 degree under velocity is 0.1 m/s and 131.7 to 131.8 under 0.5 m/s with cages interval were 2 m. The second experiment was designed to prove the tank test. Velocities were measured inside and outside of the scallop culture ground at eastern sea of Korea. The velocity of inside of the culture was the slowest as 0.1m/s. In this result, interference between former cage and after cage was occurred.

This research has proposed a quantitative environmental assessment method of road routes based on the various policies and literature, and applied such proposal to the planned road routes to evaluate the environment-friendly road routes. Accordingly, the case sections per each region of Joong-bu, Gang-won, and Nam-bu were selected to execute the proposed environmental assessment method. Consequently, it has been confirmed that the distribution of environmental score of the subject region of each case section varied. In particular, for the Gang-won region, the high scores took up the most. Also, to indicate the degree of environment per each section, a route which minimizes the environmental effects per subject region was created to analyze the environmental degree per each section. As a result, the section in the region with the highest environmental sensitivity, in other words the Gang-won region with many high scores, had the lowest environmental degree.

Dwelling time is one of the factors that influence in rail. Current research in dwelling time has been focusing on railways, the state of the research in high-speed rail's dwelling time is not complete. Dwelling time is consisted of time to open door, time to get into and out of vehicle and time of the departure it takes after the passenger's door was closed, it was affected by various factors such as congestion's degree in vehicle, the number of persons that get into and out of vehicle, congestion's degree in station. In order to analyze theses, we need data analysis such as the number of persons that get into and out of vehicle, congestion's degree in station, congestion's degree in vehicle, but the congestion's degree and passenger's distribution chart in vehicle is excluded in this research due to difficulty of gathering data, and thus we will develop forecasting models through high-speed rail's demand most affected by the dwelling time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary behavior and nutritional knowledge related to sodium intake in high school students. A questionnaire survey was conducted in 400 high school students (200 boys) in Incheon, Korea. Survey data were analyzed according to gender and degree of obesity. The distribution of the degree of obesity was the highest in 231 normal weight individuals (57.8%), followed by 89 underweight (22.3%), 41 overweight (10.3%), and 39 obese (9.8%). The sodium-related undesirable dietary behavior score was 2.9 points out of 5 points. The detailed dietary behavior scores of 'I eat kimchi when I eat instant noodles or noodles' and 'I like dried fish with salt' were significantly higher in boys than in girls (p<0.05). It was found that boys consumed more frequently high sodium foods, such as pizza, hamburger, and hotdog than girls. According to the degree of obesity, the underweight group consumed more kimchi fried rice and potato chips frequently than the other groups (p<0.05). Preference for salty taste was not significantly different among the groups by gender and degree of obesity. Sodium-related nutritional knowledge score was 5.3 points out of 10 and which was significantly higher in girls or normal weight group than in boys or obesity group. These results suggest that nutritional education on sodium intake is needed because the nutritional knowledge of adolescents is relatively low. Moreover, intensive nutritional guidance is required, especially in boys or adolescents with undesirable degree of obesity.

The aim of this study was to validate the suitability of an digital image analysis (DIA) method to measure the degree of saturation in the unsaturated conditions. This study was carried out on the Joo-Mun-Jin standard sand. A one-dimensional sand column test was used in the constant water level condition to get the correlation equation between the color number ($C_n$) and the measured degree of saturation (5). In addition, the hanging wale. column technique to determine the soil-water charactenstic curve (SWCC) was performed in a Buchner funnel. The average degree of saturation ($S_{ave}$) in the SWCC could be obtained by substituting average color number at each suction head value with the $C_n\;-\;S$ correlation equation. Comparisons were made between the measured results by the hanging water column test and those obtained from DIA method. Results showed that the DIA method tested here provided fairly good saturation distribution values in the drying and wetting processes.

In this study, a simple probabilistic approach using equivalent coefficient of consolidation ($c_e$) was proposed to consider the spatial variability of coefficient of vertical consolidation ($c_v$), and the effect of the probability distribution of coefficient of consolidation on degree of consolidation in heterogeneous soil was investigated. The statistical characteristics of consolidation coefficient were estimated from 1,226 field data, and four probability distributions (Normal, Log-normal, Gamma, and Weibull) were applied to consider the effect of probability distribution. The random fields of coefficient of consolidation were generated based on Karhunen-Loeve expansion. Then, the equivalent coefficient of consolidation was calculated from the random field and used as the input value of consolidation analysis. As a result, the probabilistic analysis can be performed effectively by separating random field and numerical analysis, and probabilistic analysis was performed using a Latin hypercube Monte Carlo simulation. The results showed that the statistical properties of $c_e$ were changed by the probability distribution and spatial variability of $c_v$, and the probability distribution of $c_v$ has considerable effects on the probabilistic results. There was a large difference of failure probability depend on the probability distribution when the autocorrelation distance was small (i.e., highly heterogeneous soil). Therefore, the selection of a suitable probability distribution of $c_v$ is very important for reliable probabilistic analysis of consolidation.

This study was conducted in an effort to provide important clues pertaining to the conservation and restoration of Aporia crataegi by identifying the spatial distribution characteristics of the current habitats, prospective habitats, and future habitats of A. crataegi in accordance with climate changes. To determine the distribution of A. crataegi, data from a total of 36 collecting points throughout South Korea, North Korea, China, Japan, Mongolia, and Russia are used. The spatial distributions of the data were examined through MaxEnt modeling. The distribution probability rates exceeded 75% at 18 locations among the 36 species occurrence locations, with Gangwon province showing the highest distribution probability in South Korea. The precision of the MaxEnt model was remarkably high, with an AUC value of 0.982. The variables that affect the potential distribution of A. crataegi by more than 10% are the degree of temperature seasonality, the amount of precipitation in the warmest quarter, the annual mean temperature, and the amount of precipitation in the driest month, in that order of importance. It was found that the future potential distribution area of A. crataegi continuously moves northward over time up to 2070s. In addition, the area of the potential distribution showing a habitable probability rate that exceeds 75% in northeast Asia was $28,492km^2$, where the area of potential distribution in the north part of Korean peninsula was $20.404km^2$ in size. Thus, it is anticipated that the most important future habitats of A. crataegi in the northeast Asia will be North and South Hamgyeong provinces and Ryanggang province near Mt. Baekdoosan in the northern area of the Korean peninsula.

Ascertainment of accurate pharmacokinetic parameters for aminoglycoside dosing remains critical, as the serum drug concentration relates directly to both the therapeutic response and toxic effect. In the initial dosing of aminoglycosides, the volume of distribution is especially important because the dosage is calculated by multiplying the volume of distribution by the desired serum concentration. Aminoglycosides distribute into mainly the extracellular fluid and it has been reported that the volume of distribution is 0.25 L/kg. Penetration of polar aminoglycosides into adipose tissue occurs to some extent, but varies according to the degree of obesity. Therefore, dosages may be overestimated or underestimated according to the type of the dosing weight in overweight or underweight patients. Prior investigations have suggested various dosing weights which are multiplied by the popular volume of distribution to calculate the total volume of distribution. Based on other investigations, we calculated a new dosing weight which was applicable to all patients regardless of obesity in order to use the popular volume of distribution. We estimated IBW+$0.414^{\ast}$(TBW-IBW) as a new dosing weight with the SAS program. A new dosing weight is similar to those of other studies which examined in morbidly obese patients. Consequently we suggests that the dosing weight reported in morbidly obese patients can be extended to a broader patients population. But we found that the volume of distribution per kilogram from our patients was significantly larger than that for foreign patients(0.343L/kg vs 0.25 L/kg)(Kor. J. Clin. Pharm. 1999; 9(1): 15-18)

After the 1990's, a computer-aided partial discharge(PD) measurement system was referred in part of aging diagnosis using digital signal processing as the new technology has been studied. The PD patterns and relevant information for pattern recognition are discussed in PD research area, because discharge quantity(q), the number of discharge pulse(n) and the applied boltage phase($\varphi$) was combined with the system information of the aging state. This paper investigates the discharge phase and quantity, as well as the number of discharge(n) with regard to discharge signals generated in power cable. therefore, according to characteristic analysis on the distribution of $\varphi$, q and n, it is able to apply in the aging analysis of power cable which visual observation is impossible and distribution change of discharge signals offers much information for risk degree on aging progress of insulation materials.
