The study analyzes divorce rates in Korea and makes suggestions for the future research of divorce rates. Based on the data from Korea Statistical Information System (KOSIS) of the National Statistics Organization, trends for divorce rates change and the relations between divorce rates and macro environmental factors are analyzed. Macro environmental factors include socioeconomic factors such as, Korean War, Vietnam War, oil shock, IMP economic crisis and gross national income (GNI), whereas demographical factors include population structure, rates of female labor participation, and geographical location. The principle characteristics of divorce rates are as follows: 1) the Crude divorce rates (CDR) and the number of divorced had been increased from 1970 to 2004, then the trend changed to a decrease; 2) the slope of the change were the highest during 1998 to 2004 after the IMP economic crisis. The relations between socioeconomic factors are as follows: 1) during the war there was a small increase of CDR for a short period of time; 2) the economic crisis of the nation tend to increase the CDR, while the IMP economic crisis had a strong impact on an increase of CDR because of the interaction effect among the population structure, women's sex role changes as well as the level of standard of living. The increase in CDR from 1990 to 2000 can be explained partly by the population of baby Boomers passing through their marriage and divorce process. The number of population residing in the rural area and the middle class households, and the mobility of population also had an impact on the divorce rates changes. The recommendations for the future research were as follows: 1) the need to develop new divorce statistics that are based on a marriage cohort or a birth cohort because family behavior is a mixture of personal, social and political responses, and because CDR is not an accurate measure of divorce rate since it was influenced by population structure; 2) the need to include micro personal factors as well as macro social factors in a model to find an interaction effect between those variables.

In order to discover lifespan-extending compounds made from natural resources, activity-guided fractionation of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae) ethanol extract was performed using the Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) model system. The compound 6-gingerol was isolated from the most active ethyl acetate soluble fraction, and showed potent longevity-promoting activity. It also elevated the survival rate of worms against stressful environment including thermal, osmotic, and oxidative conditions. Additionally, 6-gingerol elevated the antioxidant enzyme activities of C. elegans, and showed a dose-depend reduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in worms. Further studies demonstrated that the increased stress tolerance of 6-gingerol-mediated worms could result from the promotion of stress resistance proteins such as heat shock protein (HSP-16.2) and superoxide dismutase (SOD-3). The lipofuscin levels in 6-gingerol treated intestinal worms were decreased in comparison to the control group. No significant 6-gingerol-related changes, including growth, food intake, reproduction, and movement were noted. These results suggest that 6-gingerol exerted longevity-promoting activities independently of these factors and could extend the human lifespan.

천이류는 하나의 계산 영역내에서 사류와 상류가 동시에 발생하는 흐름을 의미하는 용어이다. 천이류 해석 모형 개발에서 중요한 사항은 상류와 사류 영역에서 발생하는 신호의 전파특성을 정확하게 반영할 수 있어야 한다는 것과 보존성을 유지해야 한다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 하천 천이류 해석을 위해 적용된 적이 없는 음해적 ENO 기법을 이용하여 새로운 모형을 개발하였다. 음해적 ENO 기법은 전 구간에 걸쳐 수치진동없이 고정확도가 유지될 수 있는 장점을 지닌 수치기법인 ENO 기법과 수치적으로 무조건적 안정성이 보장되는 장점을 지닌 음해법을 결합한 기법이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 모형을 가상적인 댐붕괴파의 해석에 적용한 결과 매우 강한 천이류가 발생하는 경우에도 안정적으로 정확한 해를 구할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, small hydropower attracts attention because of its clean, renewable and abundant energy resources to develop. Therefore, a cross-flow hydraulic turbine is proposed for small hydropower development in this study. The turbine‘s simple structure and high possibility of applying to the sites of relatively low effective head and large flow rate can be advantages for the introduction of the small hydropower development. The purpose of this study is not only to investigate the effects of air layer in the turbine chamber on the performance and internal flow of the cross-flow turbine, but also to suggest a newly developed air supply method. CFD analysis for the performance and internal flow of the turbine is conducted by an unsteady state calculation using a two-phase flow model in order to embody the air layer effect on the turbine performance effectively. The result shows that air layer effect on the performance of the turbine is considerable. The air layer located in the turbine runner passage plays the role of preventing a shock loss in the runner axis and suppressing a recirculation flow in the runner. The location of air suction hole on the chamber wall is very important factor for the performance improvement. Moreover, the ratio between air from suction pipe and water from turbine inlet is also significant factor of the turbine performance.

Several theories emphasize that aging is closely related to oxidative stress and disease. The formation of excess ROS can lead to DNA damage and the acceleration of aging. Vigna angularis is one of the important medicinal plants in Korea. We isolated vitexin from V. angularis and elucidated the lifespan-extending effect of vitexin using the Caenorhabditis elegans model system. Vitexin showed potent lifespan extensive activity and it elevated the survival rates of nematodes against the stressful environments including heat and oxidative conditions. In addition, our results showed that vitexin was able to elevate antioxidant enzyme activities of worms and reduce intracellular ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. These studies demonstrated that the increased stress tolerance of vitexin-mediated nematode could be attributed to increased expressions of stress resistance proteins such as superoxide dismutase (SOD-3) and heat shock protein (HSP-16.2). In this work, we also studied whether vitexin-mediated longevity activity was associated with aging-related factors such as progeny, food intake, growth and movement. The data revealed that these factors were not affected by vitexin treatment except movement. Vitexin treatment improved the body movement of aged nematode, suggesting vitexin affects healthspan as well as lifespan of nematode. These results suggest that vitexin might be a probable candidate which could extend the human lifespan.

천음속 미교란 모델과 1단계 1차 Arrhenius 화학반응식을 이용하여 반응유체의 압축성 유동에 대하여 연구하였다. 유체 유동은 적은 열방출을 수반하는 희박 예혼합 반응에 국한시켰다. 천음속 연소에 끼치는 채널형상과 채널입구 마하수의 영향 등을 수치해석을 이용하여 조사하였다. 수치결과에서 채널확대는 주어진 채널길이 내에서 화학반응을 증가시키고 있음에 반하여 채널수축은 출구 근처에서 화학반응을 억제시키고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 확대형 채널 내에서 입구유동 마하수 증가는 고정된 반응속도에서 유동을 가속시켰으며 불활성 유체 경우에는 나타나지 않는 약한 충격파가 나타났다. 또한 확대형 채널 출구 근처의 압력과 온도를 증가시키고 주어진 채널길이 내에서 반응체의 소비를 도와준다.

A forward-facing aerospike attached to a payload fairing of a satellite launch vehicle significantly alters its flowfield and decreases the aerodynamic drag in transonic and low supersonic speeds. The present payload fairing is an axisymmetric configuration and consists of a blunt-nosed body along with a conical section, payload shroud, boat tail and followed by a booster. The main purpose of the present numerical simulations is to evaluate flowfield and assess the performance of aerodynamic drag coefficient with and without aerospike attached to a payload fairing of a typical satellite launch vehicle in freestream Mach number range 0.8 ≤ M_∞ ≤ 3.0 and freestream Reynolds number range 33.35 × 10⁶/m ≤ Re_∞ ≤ 46.75 × 10⁶/m whichincludes the maximum aerodynamic drag and maximum dynamic conditions during ascent flight trajectory of the satellite launch vehicle. A numerical simulation has been carried out to solve time-dependent compressible turbulent axisymmetric Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The closure of the system of equations is achieved using the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model. The aerodynamic drag reduction mechanism is analysed employing numerical results such as velocity vector plots, density and Mach contours in conjunction with the experimental flow visualization pictures. The variations of wall pressure coefficient over the payload fairing with and without aerospike are exhibiting different kind of flowfield characteristics in the transonic and low supersonic speeds. The numerically computed results are compared with schlieren pictures, oil flow patterns and measured wall pressure distributions and exhibit good agreement between them.

In our previous study, the expression of active H-ferritins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found to reduce cell growth and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation upon exposure to oxidative stress; such expression enhanced that of high-affinity iron transport genes (FET3 and FTR1). The results suggested that the recombinant cells expressing H-ferritins induced cytosolic iron depletion. The present study analyzes metabolic changes under these circumstances via proteomic methods. The YGH2 yeast strain expressing A-ferritin, the YGH2-KG (E62K and H65G) mutant strain, and the YGT control strain were used. Comparative proteomic analysis showed that the synthesis of 34 proteins was at least stimulated in YGH2, whereas the other 37 proteins were repressed. Among these, the 31 major protein spots were analyzed via nano-LC/MS/MS. The increased proteins included major heat-shock proteins and proteins related to endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). On the other hand, the proteins involved with folate metabolism, purine and methionine biosynthesis, and translation were reduced. In addition, we analyzed the insoluble protein fractions and identified the fragments of Idh1p and Pgk1p, as well as several ribosomal assembly-related proteins. This suggests that intracellular iron depletion induces imperfect translation of proteins. Although the proteins identified above result from changes in iron metabolism (i.e., iron deficiency), definitive evidence for iron-related proteins remains insufficient. Nevertheless, this study is the first to present a molecular model for iron deficiency, and the results may provide valuable information on the regulatory network of iron metabolism.

본 연구에서는 수치해석 모델을 기반으로 초음속 막냉각 유동에서 분사 노즐 형상이 냉각성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 노즐의 형상 변수로는 막냉각 노즐의 상부벽면 내외부경사각과 노즐 팁 두께가 고려된다. 해석결과를 통해서, 노즐 상부벽면의 내부경사각이 증가할수록 유량은 감소하지만 유량감소율 대비 막냉각효과 감소는 상대적으로 적음을 확인할 수 있다. 그리고 노즐 상부벽면의 외부경사각과 노즐 팁 두께는 대체적으로 크기가 증가할수록 막냉각 성능을 감소시키지만, 충격파와 막냉각 유동의 간섭이 발생하는 국부적인 영역에서는 냉각성능을 향상시킨다. 이와 같은 해석은 상용소프트웨어인 ANSYS Fluent V15.0을 활용하며, CFD 해석모델은 선행연구의 실험결과와 비교를 통하여 검증된다.

초음속 이젝터 유동특성은 압축성, 비정상성, 충격파 둥으로 인하여 충분히 알려져 있지 않다. 종래의 이론적/실험적 연구결과들은 대부분 1차원 가정 하에서 얻어진 것들이며, 현재까지 수치계산법을 이용하여 이젝터 내부 유동장을 해석한 실례가 많지 않다. 뿐만 아니라 기존의 수치계산 결과들은 2차유동의 질량유량이 매우 작거나 없는 단순한 유동장에 대한 것들이었다. 본 연구에서는 초음속 이젝터-펌프 유동장을 수치적으로 해석하기 위하여 축대칭 수치계산 모델을 이용하였다. 수치계산은 축대칭 압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 유한체적법을 적용하였으며, 표준형 $\kappa$ -$\varepsilon$ 난류모델을 이용하였고, 2차유동의 질량유량을 변화시켜 1차유동과 2차유동의 질량비의 변화에 따른 이젝터 내부 유동장의 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 2차목을 가지지 않는 일정 단면적의 혼합부를 가지는 이젝터의 경우, 이젝터 내부의 유동장 특성은 2차유동의 질량유량의 변화와 거의 무관하게 나타났다. 그러나 2차목을 가지는 경우는 2차유동의 질량유량의 증가에 따른 노즐출구 주위에서 배압으로 인하여 이젝터 내부 유동장이 크게 변화하였다.
