The present study was conducted to analyze the causes of stress on the part of Korean radiological technologists depending on their working environments. For this purpose, 890 questionnaires were distributed to and collected from radiological technologists who were working at 44 general hospitals in 16 cities and provinces of Korea during the period from the mid July to the end of August 2003. The collected data were compared between regions, divided into the capital, metropolitan, medium and small cities, whose results are as follows: 1. As factors affecting working conditions, drinking was found to exert more influence on radiological technologists in small- and medium-sized cities, while loyalty to immediate seniors and organizations was the one producing greater influence on them in metropolitan cities than other cities. Overall, position, job satisfaction and physical condition seemed to have a great effect on them (p<0.001).2. In terms of factors related to their roles, job satisfaction and physical condition played in general a greater role for radiological technologists (p<0.001). Immediate seniors and behavioral conducts were also found to have a lot influence on them (p<0.01).3. As for job conflicts, the kind of medical institutions seemed to exercise a great deal of impact on radiological technologists (p<0.05), while colleagues, immediate seniors, job satisfaction and physical conditions also produced a lot of influence on them as a whole (p<0.001).4. Regarding job autonomy, radiological technologists were found to have been less influenced by position in metropolitan cities and by immediate seniors in the capital city (p<0.01). As a whole, however, age and job satisfaction acted as decisive factors of influence on them (p<0.001). 5. Among factors related to job burden, gender played a bigger role for radiological technologists in metropolitan cities as the kind of medical institutions did in small- and medium-sized cities. Centrally, job satisfaction and behavioral conducts exercised a great impact on them (p<0.001).6. Job stability seemed to be more immensely linked to gender and physical conditions in metropolitan cities whereas position did more in the capital city. In general, how ever, job satisfaction produced a far-reaching (p<0.001).

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels and types of nitrogen fertilizer on seedlings and soil chemical properties in a semi-arid area, Mongolia. 2-year-old Populus sibirica and 4-year-old Ulmus pumila seedlings were planted in May 2014. Six treatments with three levels of nitrogen (low-level: urea $5g\;tree^{-1}$; medium-level: urea $15g\;tree^{-1}$, ammonium sulfate $33g\;tree^{-1}$, urea $15g\;tree^{-1}$ with potassium phosphate $10g\;tree^{-1}$; high-level: urea $30g\;tree^{-1}$) were applied and for the medium-level of nitrogen, different types of fertilizer were treated. Survival rate, root collar diameter (RCD) growth rate, leaf nitrogen concentration of seedlings, and soil chemical properties were determined in August 2014. The seedling survival rate of both species decreased as the level of nitrogen increased. This result can be explained by water stress caused by nitrogen fertilization in arid regions. The RCD growth rate of P. sibirica was significantly decreased by the treatment of high-level of nitrogen due to excessive nitrogen fertilization, and was increased by the treatment of ammonium sulfate due to sulfur which might promote nitrogen uptake. The leaf nitrogen concentration of P. sibirica did not change by the treatment of low-level of nitrogen, and was increased by the treatment of medium-level of nitrogen. There were no significant differences in the RCD growth rate and the leaf nitrogen concentration of U. pumila among the six treatments. None of soil chemical properties was affected by nitrogen fertilization. Overall, the low-level of nitrogen showed no effect on seedlings and soil chemical properties, except on survival rate of U. pumila and the high-level of nitrogen was considered excessive fertilization. Continuous monitoring of medium-level nitrogen fertilization including the ammonium sulfate, which increased early growth of seedlings, would be needed to elucidate the effect of fertilization on seedling growth and soil properties in a semi-arid region.

Piecewise Integrated Composite (PIC) 보는 하중 유형에 따라 구간을 나누어, 각 구간마다 하중 유형에 강한 복합재료의 적층 순서를 배열한 보이다. 본 연구에서는 보의 거동을 고려하여 PIC 보의 구간을 머신 러닝을 통해 나누어 기존에 제시되었던 PIC 보에 비해 우수한 굽힘 특성을 갖게 하는 것이 목적이다. FE 모델의 240개 요소가 참조점으로 선택되었다. 선행 유한요소해석은 머신 러닝의 학습데이터 생성을 위하여 규칙적으로 분포된 참조점에서 3축 특성 값(Triaxiality)으로 나타냈다. 3축 특성 값은 인장, 압축 그리고 전단의 하중유형을 나타낸다. 머신 러닝 모델은 하이퍼파라미터(Hyperparameter)와 학습데이터로 구성되었으며, 하이퍼파라미터 튜닝을 통해 적절한 하중 충실도를 도출하였지만, 거동이 큰 보의 옆면에서는 적절하지 않은 하중 충실도가 도출되었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 고르게 배치한 참조점을 보의 거동에 따라 배치하여 학습 데이터를 얻었고, 머신 러닝 모델이 생성되었다. 앞서 생성된 머신 러닝 모델을 통하여 보가 매핑 되었고, PIC 보에 대하여 유한요소 해석을 진행한 결과, 기존에 제시되었던 PIC 보에 비해 최대하중과 흡수 에너지가 커지는 특성이 나타났다.

Background: As trade increases, the influx of various alien species and their spread to new regions are prevalent and no longer a special problem. Anthropogenic activities and climate changes have made the distribution of alien species out of their native range common. As a result, alien species can be easily found anywhere, and they have nothing but only a few differences in intensity. The prevalent distribution of alien species adversely affects the ecosystem, and a strategic management plan must be established to control them effectively. To this end, hot spots and cold spots were analyzed according to the degree of distribution of invasive alien plants, and major environmental factors related to hot spots were found. We analyzed the 10,287 distribution points of 126 species of alien plants collected through the national survey of alien species by the hierarchical model of species communities (HMSC) framework. Results: The explanatory and fourfold cross-validation predictive power of the model were 0.91 and 0.75 as AUC values, respectively. The hot spots of invasive plants were found in the Seoul metropolitan area, Daegu metropolitan city, Chungcheongbuk-do Province, southwest shore, and Jeju island. Generally, the hot spots were found where the higher maximum temperature of summer, precipitation of winter, and road density are observed, but temperature seasonality, annual temperature range, precipitation of the summer, and distance to river and sea were negatively related to the hot spots. According to the model, the functional traits accounted for 55% of the variance explained by the environmental factors. The species with higher specific leaf areas were more found where temperature seasonality was low. Taller species preferred the bigger annual temperature range. The heavier seed mass was only preferred when the max temperature of summer exceeded 29 ℃. Conclusions: In this study, hot spots were places where 2.1 times more alien plants were distributed on average than non-hot spots (33.5 vs 15.7 species). The hot spots of invasive plants were expected to appear in less stressful climate conditions, such as low fluctuation of temperature and precipitation. Also, the disturbance by anthropogenic factors or water flow had positive influences on the hot spots. These results were consistent with the previous reports about the ruderal or competitive strategies of invasive plants instead of the stress-tolerant strategy. The functional traits are closely related to the ecological strategies of plants by shaping the response of species to various environmental filters, and our result confirmed this. Therefore, in order to effectively control alien plants, it is judged that the occurrence of disturbed sites in which alien plants can grow in large quantities is minimized, and the river management of waterfronts is required.

This research work presents an experimental study's outcomes to reveal the impact of an O-ring on the flow control over a sphere placed in a turbulent boundary layer. The investigation is performed quantitatively and qualitatively using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and dye visualization. The sphere model having a diamater of 42.5 mm is located in a turbulent boundary layer flow over a smooth plate for gap ratios of 0≤G/D≤1.5 at Reynolds number of 5 × 10³. Flow characteristics, including patterns of instantaneous vorticity, streaklines, time-averaged streamlines, velocity vectors, velocity fluctuations, Reynolds stress correlations, and turbulence kinetic energy (), are compared and discussed for a naked sphere and spheres having O-rings. The boundary layer velocity gradient and proximity of the sphere to the flat plate profoundly influence the flow dynamics. At proximity ratios of G/D=0.1 and 0.25, a wall jet is formed between lower side of the sphere and flat plate, and velocity fluctuations increase in regions close to the wall. At G/D=0.25, the jet flow also induces local flow separations on the flat plate. At higher proximity ratios, the velocity gradient of the boundary layer causes asymmetries in the mean flow characteristics and turbulence values in the wake region. It is observed that the O-ring with various placement angles (𝜃) on the sphere has a considerable alteration in the flow structure and turbulence statistics on the wake. At lower placement angles, where the O-ring is closer to the forward stagnation point of the sphere, the flow control performance of the O-ring is limited; however, its impact on the flow separation becomes pronounced as it is moved away from the forward stagnation point. At G/D=1.50 for O-ring diameters of 4.7 (2 mm) and 7 (3 mm) percent of the sphere diameter, the -ring exhibits remarkable flow control at 𝜃=50° and 𝜃=55° before laminar flow separation occurrence on the sphere surface, respectively. This conclusion is yielded from narrowed wakes and reductions in turbulence statistics compared to the naked sphere model. The O-ring with a diameter of 3 mm and placement angle of 50° exhibits the most effective flow control. It decreases, in sequence, streamwise velocity fluctuations and length of wake recovery region by 45% and 40%, respectively, which can be evaluated as source of decrement in drag force.

PIC 설계 방법은 선행 유한요소해석을 통해 하중 유형을 나누어, 각 구간마다 하중 유형에 강한 복합재료의 적층 각도 순서를 배치하는 방법이다. 기존 연구에서는 효율적으로 구간을 나누기 위하여 PIC 설계 방법에 머신 러닝이 적용되었으며, 학습 데이터는 선행 유한요소해석 결과 값을 통해 전체 요소의 일부인 참조 요소에서의 인장, 압축 그리고 전단과 같은 하중 유형으로 나누어 라벨링 되었다. 하지만 좌굴에 대해 고려되지 않아서 좌굴 발생 시, 적절한 하중 유형으로 나눌 수 없기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위한 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 좌굴이 고려되기 위한 새로운 하중 유형 분석 방법을 기존의 PIC 설계에 적용하는 기법(PIC-NTL)이 제안되었다. 좌굴의 하중 분석은 각 플라이(Ply)별 응력 3축 특성을 통해 진행되었으며, 요소의 두께 방향으로 동일한 크기의 두 영역으로 나누어진 판단 영역 내에서 결정된 하중 유형을 통해 대표 하중 유형이 지정되었다. 학습 데이터의 특성 값은 참조 요소의 좌표, 라벨(Label)은 각 판단 영역의 대표 하중 유형으로 구성되었으며, 이 데이터를 통해 머신 러닝 모델이 학습되었다. 머신 러닝 모델의 성능에 영향을 미치는 하이퍼파라미터는 베이지안 알고리즘을 통하여 최적 값으로 튜닝되었다. 튜닝 된 머신 러닝 모델의 중 SVM 모델이 가장 높은 예측률과 ROC-AUC로 나타났으며, 해당 모델을 통해 예측된 데이터가 유한요소 모델에 매핑되었다. 기존에 제안된 PIC 설계 방법과 비교하기 위하여 사각관 형태의 모델을 압축시키는 유한요소해석이 진행되었으며, 본 연구에서 제안된 설계 방법이 강도와 에너지 흡수율에서 더 우수함이 검증되었다.

Background: Due to the interrupted blood supply in cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS), ischemic and hypoxia results in neuronal depolarization, insufficient NAD+, excessive levels of ROS, mitochondrial damages, and energy metabolism disorders, which triggers the ischemic cascades. Currently, improvement of mitochondrial functions and energy metabolism is as a vital therapeutic target and clinical strategy. Hence, it is greatly crucial to look for neuroprotective natural agents with mitochondria protection actions and explore the mediated targets for treating CIS. In the previous study, notoginseng leaf triterpenes (PNGL) from Panax notoginseng stems and leaves was demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the potential mechanisms have been not completely elaborate. Methods: The model of middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) was adopted to verify the neuroprotective effects and potential pharmacology mechanisms of PNGL in vivo. Antioxidant markers were evaluated by kit detection. Mitochondrial function was evaluated by ATP content measurement, ATPase, NAD and NADH kits. And the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and pathological staining (H&E and Nissl) were used to detect cerebral morphological changes and mitochondrial structural damages. Western blotting, ELISA and immunofluorescence assay were utilized to explore the mitochondrial protection effects and its related mechanisms in vivo. Results: In vivo, treatment with PNGL markedly reduced excessive oxidative stress, inhibited mitochondrial injury, alleviated energy metabolism dysfunction, decreased neuronal loss and apoptosis, and thus notedly raised neuronal survival under ischemia and hypoxia. Meanwhile, PNGL significantly increased the expression of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) in the ischemic regions, and regulated its related downstream SIRT1/2/3-MnSOD/PGC-1α pathways. Conclusion: The study finds that the mitochondrial protective effects of PNGL are associated with the NAMPT-SIRT1/2/3-MnSOD/PGC-1α signal pathways. PNGL, as a novel candidate drug, has great application prospects for preventing and treating ischemic stroke.

PSC 박스거더 교량의 격벽(diaphragm)은 프리스트레스에 의해 큰 집중하중이 가해지기 때문에 응력의 분포가 매우 교란되며 격벽에 발생하는 과도한 균열은 격벽의 거동을 매우 복잡하게 만든다. AASHTO 설계기준에 따르면 집중 긴장하중에 의한 3차원 효과는 3차원 모델을 이용하거나, 둘 혹은 그 이상의 평면으로 분리된 하위모델(submodel)을 사용하여 근사적으로 계산하는 방법을 허용하고 있다. 이때 하위모델은 각 방향에 대하여 독립적으로 결정할 수 있으나 모델 간의 상호작용이 고려되어야 하며 일관성이 있어야 한다. 그러나 외부 긴장재의 정착을 위한 격벽은 2차원 문제로 간주하기 어려운 3차원 응력교란영역(disturbed region) 구조물이며, 2차원 모델을 이용하여 격벽에 작용하는 힘의 흐름을 표현하는 것은 만족한 결과를 주지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 응력교란영역 구조부재의 해석/설계를 위해 제안된 컴퓨터에 기반한 3차원 격자 스트럿-타이 모델 방법을 이용하여 Texas대학교에서 실험, 파괴된 PSC 박스거더 격벽의 1/2 축소 모형을 해석하였다. 그리고 그 결과를 기존의 연구결과 및 실험결과와 비교하여 제안된 방법의 타당성과 정확성을 평가함으로서, 포스트텐션 정착부 및 격벽부 설계를 위한 합리적인 컴퓨터 기반의 설계방법을 제시하였다.
