본 연구에서는 가솔린 풀화재 시 호흡량과 호흡주기 변화에 따라서 인체에 흡입되는 연소가스 농도에 관한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해서 ISO 9705 룸코너 시험기의 1/4 크기인 구획공간을 제작하였으며, 호흡유량 (2, 6, 10) LPM 에 대해서 연소가스를 지속적으로 흡입하는 경우(Infinity)와 호흡주기가 2 s와 5 s인 각각의 경우 일산화탄소와 산소 농도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 구획 공간에서 가솔린 풀화재의 이론 발열량이 5.34 kW인 연소조건에서 산소와 이산화탄소의 경우 모두 호흡주기에 비해서 호흡량이 증가함에 따른 농도 편차가 더욱 높은 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 호흡 주기가 증가함에 따라서 산소 농도의 경우 최소값의 변화가 평균값에 비해서 더욱 크게 나타난 반면 일산화탄소 농도의 경우 평균값의 변화가 최대값에 비해서 더욱 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 화재 시 피난자의 호흡 특성에 따라서 실제 흡입되는 유해가스의 농도를 고려하여야 보다 정확한 피난 특성을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This paper was studied $CO_2$ respiration rate with physicochemical properties of soils at wetland, paddy field and forest in Nongju-ri, Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon city, Jeollanam-do. Soil temperature and $CO_2$ respiration rate were measured at the field, and soil pH, moisture and soil organic carbon were analyzed in laboratory. Field monitoring was conducted at 6 points (W3, W7, W13, W17, W23, W27) for wetland, 3 points (P1, P2, P3) for paddy field and 3 points (F1, F2, F3) for forest in 10 January 2009. $CO_2$ concentrations in chamber were measured 352~382 ppm for wetland, 364~382 ppm for paddy field and 379~390 ppm for forest, and the average values were 370 ppm, 370 ppm and 385 ppm, respectively. $CO_2$ respiration rates of soils were measured $-73{\sim}44\;mg/m^2/hr$ for wetland, $-74{\sim}24\;mg/m^2/hr$ for paddy field and $-55{\sim}106\;mg/m^2/hr$ for forest, and the average values were $-8\;mg/m^2/hr$, $-25\;mg/m^2/hr$ and $38\;mg/m^2/hr$. $CO_2$ was uptake from air to soil in wetland and paddy field, but it was emission from soil to air in forest. $CO_2$ respiration rate function in uptake condition increased exponential and linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. But, it in emission condition decreased linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. $CO_2$ respiration rate function in wetland decreased linear as soil moisture, but its in paddy and forest increased linear as soil moisture. $CO_2$ respiration rate function in all sites increased linear as soil pH, and increasing rate at forest was highest.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the speech characteristics and speech therapy of Parkinson disease (PD). This study selected 28 papers published in Korea from 1998 to 2018 after searching the terms 'Parkinson voice' and 'Parkinson speech therapy.' Literature review had been conducted in the two aspects of speech characteristics and speech therapy. The speech characteristics were divided into respiration, phonation, articulation, prosody, vowel production, and voice questionnaire. Speech therapy was divided into Lee Sliverman voice treatment (LSVT) and other voice therapy. PD patients did not differ in respiration function compared to normal elderly people, but their speech and articulation function were poorer. There was also a difference in the speech rate, frequency of pause, and accuracy of vowel production compared with normal elderly people. PD had a lower VHI score and their voice related quality of life was a little poorer. The LSVT was typically used in speech therapy for PD. The methods of speech therapy for PD have been shown to improve respiration and phonation. It is necessary to establish voice norms in PD patients and develop effective speech therapy in the following study.

As the sequencing batch reactor process is a time-oriented system, it has advantages of the flexibility in operation for the biological nutrient removal. Because the sequencing batch reactor is operated in a batch system, respiration rate is more sensitive and obvious than in a continuous system. The variation of respiration rate in the process well represented the characteristics of biological reactions, especially nitrification. The respiration rate dropped rapidly and greatly with the completion of nitrification, and the maximum respiration rate of nitrification showed the activity of nitrifiers. This study suggested a strategy to control the aeration of the sequencing batch reactor based on respirometry. Aeration time of the optimal aerobic period required for nitrification was daily adjusted according to the dynamics of respiration rate. The aeration time was mainly correlated with influent nitrogen loadings. The anoxic period was extended through aeration control facilitating a longer endogenous denitrification reaction time. By respirometric aeration control in the sequencing batch reactor, energy saving and process performance improvement could be achieved.

Cold and Heat pattern identification(CHPI) in traditional East Asian medicine(TEAM) is one of the major indicator to distinguish characteristics of disease and to determine treatment method. Basic parameters to determine CHPI include the pulse rate, respiration rate, and pulse power. Studies to associate physiological responses of human body by cold stress(CS) with CHPI in TEAM were rarely done so far. This study aims to explore the effects of cold stress on pulse signal via a feasibility study for three subjects and investigate some indices which can reflect autonomic nerve reaction(ANR). We measured radial pulse signals and respiration signal of the investigated subjects before the CS, during the CS which continues for 5 minutes, and immediately after the CS, respectively. Finally, we analyzed the pulse rate (P), respiration rate (R), pulse power, pulse depth, and pulse rate per respiration (P/R ratio). As a result, the P/R ratio showed a consistently decreasing tendency through the CS stimulation process, while other parameters behaved more complex and in subject-specific ways. It implies that, among candidate parameters, the P/R ratio is a simple but the most probable parameter that can be used as the ANR indicator. This result is also consistent with the theory in TEAM scripts, in which the P/R ratio is predicted to be a direct indicator for the CHPI. This pilot study shows that P/R ratio can be more appropriately associated with the ANR than heart rate or respiration rate alone. Extensive studies will be necessary to verify or confirm the P/R ratio as an appropriate and well defined parameter for ANR.

Background: Large-scale land-use change is being caused by various socioeconomic problems. Land-use change is necessarily accompanied by changes in the regional carbon balance in terrestrial ecosystems and affects climate change. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the correlation between environmental factors altered by land-use change and the carbon balance. To address this issue, we studied the characteristics of soil carbon flux and soil moisture content related to rainfall events in mountain pastures converted from deciduous forest in Korea. Results: The average soil moisture contents (SMC) during the study period were 23.1% in the soil respiration (SR) plot and 25.2% in the heterotrophic respiration (HR) plot. The average SMC was increased to 2.1 and 1.1% in the SR and HR plots after rainfall events, respectively. In addition, saturated water content was 29.36% in this grassland. The soil water content was saturated under the consistent rainfall of more than $5mm\;h^{-1}$ rather than short-term heavy rainfall event. The average SR was increased to 28.4% after a rainfall event, but the average HR was decreased to 70. 1%. The correlation between soil carbon flux rates and rainfall was lower than other environmental factors. The correlation between SMC and soil carbon flux rates was low. However, HR exhibited a tendency to be decreased when SMC was 24.5%. In addition, the correlation between soil temperature and respiration rate was significant. Conclusions: In a mountain pasture ecosystem, rainfall induced the important change of soil moisture content related to respiration in soil. SR and HR were very sensitive to change of SMC in soil surface layer about 0-10-cm depth. SR was increased by elevation of SMC due to a rainfall event, and the result was assumed from maintaining moderate soil moisture content for respiration in microorganism and plant root. However, HR was decreased in long-time saturated condition of soil moisture content. Root has obviously contributed to high respiration in heavy rainfall, but it was affected to quick depression in respiration under low rainfall. The difference of SMC due to rainfall event was causative of a highly fluctuated soil respiration rate in the same soil temperature condition. Therefore, rainfall factor or SMC are to be considered in predicting the soil carbon flux of grassland ecosystems for future climate change.

In this study, we have fabricated an infrared optical fiber based sensor which can monitor the respiration of a patient. The design of a chalcogenide optical fiber based sensor is suitable for insertion into a high electro-magnetic field environment because the sensor consists of low cost and compact mid-infrared components such as an infrared light source, a chalcogenide optical fiber and a thermopile sensor. A fiber-optic respiration sensor is capable of detecting carbon dioxide ($CO_{2}$) in exhalation of a patient using the infrared absorption characteristics of carbon gases. The modulated infrared radiation due to the presence of carbon dioxide is guided to the thermopile sensor via a chalcogenide receiving fiber. It is expected that a mid-infrared fiber-optic respiration sensor which can be developed based on the results of this study would be highly suitable for respiration measurements of a patient during the procedure of an MRI.

'남고' 품종의 국내산 청매실을 $30\;{\mu}m$ 두께의 LDPE 필름 봉투에 넣고 탄산가스 흡착제로서 $Ca(OH)_2$, 에틸렌 흡착제로서 $KMnO_4$와 이들의 혼합 가스흡착제를 첨가하여 밀봉한 후 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 일반성분 및 호흡특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 저장중 적정 산도와 가용성 고형분은 감소하고 pH는 증가하여 숙성중 변화와 반대되는 경향을 보였으며, 청매실의 황화와 과육 연화에 의한 품질저하는 에틸렌 흡착제를 사용함으로써 현저히 억제되어 상온에서도 10일간 선도유지 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 에틸렌 흡착제를 첨가한 경우는 상온저장 10일 후에도 생리장해가 거의 발생되지 않았으며 호흡률의 변화도 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 청매실을 상온 유동할 때 적정 투과성의 플라스틱 필름에 밀봉포장하고 일정량의 에틸렌 흡착제를 사용함으로써 포장내부의 기체조성을 $CO_2$ 농도 7-8%, $O_2$ 농도 2-3%로 유지할 경우 안정적인 호흡패턴으로 생리적 장해를 억제하여 청매실의 신선도를 유지하는데 뚜렷한 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Photosynthetic characteristics of soybean leaves infected with Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea were investigated for 8 days. The difference in photosynthesis rate between healthy and diseased soybean leaves decreased for 2 to 4 days after inoculation and then increased. In respiration rate, healthy and diseased leaves showed the same tendency as photosynthetic rate. The stomatal resistance increased following Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea infection. The total chlorophyll content of the infected leaf was less than that of the uninfected. Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea infection induced the malformation of stacked grana in chloroplast. Dry matter production declined after infection.
