가뭄은 산불을 일으킬 수 있는 요소 중 하나로, 산불의 빈도 및 피해 면적과 연관성이 있다. 특히, 우리나라는 가뭄이 주로 발생하는 건조한 봄과 가을에 산불이 많이 발생하고, 그 중 일부는 강풍을 동반하여 대형산불로 번지는 경향을 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라를 대상으로 산불발생 및 면적과 가뭄 변수의 관련성을 파악하고, 우리나라에 적합한 가뭄 변수를 이용하여 산불발생위험 추정을 위한 위성기반의 가뭄지수를 개발하였다. 사용한 가뭄 변수는 다운스케일링(downscaling)한 고해상도의 토양수분, Normalized Different Water Index(NDWI), Normalized Multi-band Drought Index(NMDI), Normalized Different Drought Index(NDDI), Temperature Condition Index(TCI), Precipitation Condition Index(PCI), Vegetation Condition Index(VCI)이며, 경험적 가중 선형조합(Weighted Linear Combination) 및 One-class SVM을 통해 지수 개발을 하였다. 2013년부터 2017년 기간 동안의 변수를 이용하여 상관성 분석을 통해 대부분의 가뭄 변수가 산불 발생에 유의미한 결과를 보임을 확인했으며, 특히 토양수분과 NDWI, PCI가 우리나라 산불과 상관성을 보였다(88 % 이상 일치함). 개발된 지수를 2018년 산불 발생 건에 대해 적용한 결과, 다섯 가지의 선형조합 중에서 토양수분과 NDWI의 조합이 시 공간적으로 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, One-class SVM은 대형산불에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

This research This research aims at developing systemic evaluation model in terms of biotope preservation through reports, literatures, and expert survey analysis by implementing biotope structure analysis in area level with selecting Hyunpoong and Yuga-myeon, Dalseong county, Daegu metropolitan city as a site. First of all, as a result of biotope type classification of research site, biotope type groups are classified into total 13, and its biotope types are divided into total 61. Also, as a result of literature analysis, total 18 items are drawn such as diversity of biotope typical species as a index item to assess the preservation value of biotope, and the first evaluation index are divided into 10 and the second ones are divided into 8 according to characteristic of index items. As a result of expert survey analysis, All 10 index items, first evaluation index, show high importance average (above 4.7). As a result of implementation of main cause for categorizing evaluation index by characteristic, there are 3 factors such as 'obstructive factor.' Based on above survey analysis result, as a result of estimating the weight of each item, 'restoration factor' showed the highest, 3.4541, but 'factor of habitat stability' showed 3.1468, which is the lowest The systemic value evaluation was set by comprehensively analyzing these results. As a result of biotope preservation value evaluation through applying research site, total 19 types which are abundant in vegetation are classified into I class, 12 types in II class, 5 types in III class, 10 types in IV class, and 15 types in V class respectively. Lastly, as a result of second evaluation, it is analyzed that there are 17 special meaningful space to preserve species and biotope(1a, 1b) and 61 meaningful space to preserve species (2a, 2b, 2c).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of guided tissue regeneration(GTR) technique using chitosan nanofiber membrane and to compare it to the clinical efficacy following GTR using PLA/PLGA(copolymer of polvlactic acid and polylacticglycolic acid) membrane in mandibular class II furcation defects in human. The chitosan nanofiber membranes were applied to the mandibular class II furcation defects of 13 patients(test group) and PLA/PLGA membranes were applied to those of 11 patients(control group). Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, gingival recession, plaque index and gingival index were measured at baseline and 3 months postoperatively. Vertical and horizontal furcation defect depth were measured at surgery. Both groups were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon signed Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney Test using SPSS program. The results were as follows: 1. Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss and gingival index were significantly reduced at 3 months postoperatively compared to values of baseline in both groups(p<0.05). 2. Gingival recession and plaque index were not significantly decreased at 3 months postoperatively compared to values of baseline in both groups. 3. No significant difference between two groups could be detected with regard to changes of probing pocket depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, plaque index and gingival index at 3 months postoperatively. In conclusion, chitosan nanofiber membrane is effective in the treatment of human mandibular class II furcation defects and a longer period study is needed to fully evaluate the outcomes.

The purposes of this study are to verify the sales promotion effect of bargain sale of department store, and to investigate the relationship between the effect of bargain sale and the consumer attitude toward economics. For those purposes, secondary data was collected. The data was composed of monthly sales data of women's casual wear, men's suit, inner wear, infant's wear, and golf wear in a department store from 1996 to 2003. The data on consumer attitude toward economics was collected from 'Consumer Attitude Index' issued by SERI. The results are as follows. First, there were differences in the sales promotion effects of bargain sale by merchandise class and by year. Men's suit was the class that the effect was highest, and inner wear was the class the effect was lowest. In addition, the effects were simultaneously lowered by year. Second, sales promotion effect of bargain sale had relationship with consumer attitude index. The yearly transitions of the two data were almost similar. This means that as the consumer attitude becomes pessimistic, the motivation to consume also becomes lower, so that sales promotion effect of bargain sale also decreases. In addition, women's wear and men's suit showed the most similar transition patterns with the consumer attitude index.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish reliability and validity and to identify the conversion index. Method: The WMSCN for ICU was revised from Workload Management System for Nurses(WMSN) of Walter Reed Army Hospital. Reliability of the WMSCN was evaluated interrater reliability between head nurses and staff nurses at 124 patients in April 2008. Validity through the correlation between direct nursing care hours and WMSCN score was conducted at 20 ICUs of 10 hospitals. Finally the conversion index was identified by total nursing hours and it divided by WMSCN score. Results: The scores by nurses were highly correlated with head nurses’(p=.967), and also scores of the WMSCN were highly correlated with the direct nursing care hours(p<.001). The distribution of patient classification ranks into class V(61.3%), class IV(24.2%) and class VI(11.3%). The scores of the WMSCN were no differences between MICU and SICU. Finally, the conversion index was 8.2 minutes. Conclusion: WMSCN is available to classify the nursing workload for critical care patients. The repeated evaluation of validity and reliability are requisite to use WMSCN effectively. And the conversion index should be adjusted to estimate the appropriate staffing in Korea.

In this paper, we address a layout design problem for determining an optimal 4-class-based dedicated linear storage layout in a class of unit load storage systems. Assuming that space requirement for a class is the sum of the maximum inventory levels of products assigned to the class, and that one-way travel time is a linear function of storage index, we formulate a 4-class-based dedicated linear storage problem PTL[4] and provide an exact splitting algorithm with $O(n{\lceil}logn{\rceil})$. Our algorithms could be applied to more than a 4-class-based dedicated storage layout problem with slight modification in order to reduce computational execution time.

Sella는 오랜 동안 교정학에 있어 필수적인 landmark로서 중요한 위치를 차지해 왔다. 그러나 sella turcica는 그 안에 성장호르몬을 비롯한 많은 중요 호르몬을 분비하는 뇌하수체를 함유하고 있는 구조물로서 sella turcica의 크기는 뇌하수체의 크기를 비교적 정확히 반영한다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 만일 뇌하수체의 크기와 그 기능이 서로 비례한다면 두부방사선 사진에서 관찰되는 sella turcica의 크기와 성장호르몬을 비롯한 여러 뇌하수체 호르몬 분비 기전간에 밀접한 관련이 있을 것으로 추측되며 만일 그렇다면 악안면 성장에 중요한 역할을 하는 호르몬 분비 차이에 의한 악골부조화와 이로 인한 III급 부정교합과의 상관관계도 의심해 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 50명의 정상교합자 남녀와 50 명의 III급 부정교합자 남녀를 대상으로 하여 측모 두부방사선사진과 전후방 두부방사선 사진에서 관찰되는 sella turcica의 부피를 구하고 두부방사선 분석을 통해 IIII 부정교합간의 상관 관계를 구하였다. 연구 결과 정상교합군보다 III급 부정교합군에서 sella turcica의 부피가 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났으며 (p<0.001), III급 부정교합군에서 여성이 남성 보다 더 큰 sella turcica부피를 갖는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한 III급 부정교합을 반영하는 APDI, ANB, effective mandibular length등의 항목에서 sella turcica부피와 높은 상관관계를 나타냈고 전두개저 길이에 대한 sella turcica 부피의 비를 표시하는 Sella Index 는 sella turcica 부피 자체보다 III급 부정교합을 더 정확히 반영하였다. 따라서 악안면 발육에 대한 성장호르몬의 효과나 sella turcica부피와 뇌하수체 호르몬 분비량과의 관계에 대한 지속적인 연구, sella turcica부피에 따른 악안면 성장에 대한 장기적인 연구를 바탕으로 Sella Index를 III급 부정교합을 예측하는 지표로서 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
