이 연구의 목적은 2008년 5월 29일 우리나라에 영향을 미치는 황사를 예측하기 위해 WRF-Chem 모델 내 에어로졸 스킴과 광물성 먼지 옵션에 따른 미세먼지 농도 변화와 그에 따른 기상장의 민감도를 분석하는 것이다. 미세먼지의 인위적 배출량에 대해서는 0.5˚±0.5˚ RETRO 전구 배출량을, 광해리의 경우 Fast-J 광해리 스킴을, 그리고 황사 발생량을 추정하기 위해 RADM2 화학메커니즘 및 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 시나리오, MOSAIC 8 섹션 에어로졸 시나리오, 그리고 GOCART 먼지 침식 시나리오를 각각 적용하였다. 그 결과 RADM2 화학메커니즘 및 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 시나리오가 다른 시나리오들보다 우리나라 황사 먼지 농도와 배경 PM 농도를 더 높게 모사하였다. 그리고 이 시나리오와 서울의 각 대기질 측정망의 평균 PM10 농도와의 비교 결과, 상관계수는 0.67, 평균제곱근오차는 44μgm-3으로 나타났다. 또한 WRF-Chem 모델에서 상기 3가지 시나리오와 이들 시나리오가 없는 순수 기상에서의 온도, 풍속, 경계층 높이, 장파복사의 기상 민감도를 분석한 결과, 1,800-3,000 m 경계층 높이와 2-16ms-1 풍속 U 성분의 공간적 분포가 황사 먼지 발생의 공간적 분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 그리고 GOCART 먼지 침식 시나리오와 RADM2 화학메커니즘 및 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 시나리오는 황사 먼지 또는 에어로졸과 기상이 온라인으로 상호작용함으로써 지구장파복사가 더 낮게 모사되었다.

Salmonellosis is one of the life-threating diseases of goat in Bangladesh. Therefore, the present study was designed to study the prevalence of Salmonellosis, and isolation and characterizations of the Salmonella spp. from apparently healthy and diarrheic goat. A total of 47 faces samples were collected from selected place and cultured onto different prescribed medium to isolate it. In this study, 12.76% (6/47) samples were found to be positive for Salmonella spp. During culture on SS agar medium, all of the Salmonella isolates produced round, smooth, opaque, translucent and black color colonies on SS agar media. All of the isolated Salmonella spp. fermented dextrose, maltose and mannitol with production of acid and gas but did not ferment sucrose and lactose. However, these isolates had showed Indole and Voges-Proskauer test negative, Methyl-Red test positive. All of these isolates were subjected to rapid plate agglutination test with polyvalent “O” (Poly ‘O’) and polyvalent “H” (poly ‘H’) antisera where positive agglutination were observed. They were highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin, spiramycin and gentamycin; moderately sensitive to oxytetracyline, streptomycin and amoxicillin; less sensitive to sulphamethoxazole and resistant to penicillin-G. Based on the present findings, it may be concluded that the investigated Salmonella spp. from goats might be S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, S. brandenburg, S. salford, S. newbrunswick, S. newport or S. dublin. Further study will be needed, therefore it requires further characterization using other serological and molecular techniques.

한반도 동남 지역에서 고농도 오존이 발생한 사례에 대해 NOx에 대한 오존의 수반민감도를 살펴보았다. 사례일에 지배적이었던 국지 순환과 고농도 오존을 모의하기 위해 WRF-CMAQ 모델을 사용하였다. 수반민감도 분석을 위해 CMAQ의 수반 모델을 적용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 고농도 오존에 주변지역이 미친 영향을 살펴본 수용지 중심의 민감도 분석이다. 또한, 행정 구역별 기여도를 정량적으로 산정하였는데, 대구를 수용지로 하는 민감도 분석 결과 영향지역은 대구에 인접하여 포항으로 이어지는 영역과 남동쪽으로 떨어진 넓은 지역으로 나타났다. 첫 번째 영역은 고농도 사례일 당일에 배출된 NOx의 민감도가 주로 나타났고 두 번째 영역은 전 날 배출에 의한 영향이었다. 반면, 부산을 수용지로 한 경우 사례일 당일 주간의 해풍의 영향으로 같은 날의 NOx 배출 효과 보다는 전 날 배출되었던 농도에 대한 민감도가 더 중요하였다. 민감도 영향지역에 대한 단면도 분석 결과 지표부근의 NOx 수송과 함께 상층에서 이류되는 영향도 중요하였다.

Olfactory sensitivity exhibits daily fluctuations. Several studies have suggested that the olfactory system in insects is modulated by both biogenic amines and neuropeptides. However, molecular and neural mechanisms underlying olfactory modulation in the periphery remain unclear since neuronal circuits regulating olfactory sensitivity have not been identified. Here, we investigated the structure and function of these signaling pathways in the peripheral olfactory system of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, utilizing in situ hybridization, qRT-PCR, and electrophysiological approaches. We showed that tachykinin was co-localized with the octopamine receptor in antennal neurons located near the antennal nerves. In addition, the tachykinin receptor was found to be expressed in most of the olfactory receptor neurons in antennae. Functionally, the effects direct injection of tachykinin peptides, dsRNAs of tachykinin, tachykinin receptors, and octopamine receptors provided further support for the view that both octopamine and tachykinin modulate olfactory sensitivity. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that octopamine and tachykinin in antennal neurons are olfactory regulators in the periphery. We propose here the hypothesis that octopamine released from neurons in the brain regulates the release of tachykinin from the octopamine receptor neurons in antennae, which in turn modulates the olfactory sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons, which house tachykinin receptors.

The effect of electron beam irradiation on development and reproduction of imidacloprid-resistant (R strain) and -susceptible (S strain) Aphis gossypii were compared. Nymphs and adults of R and S strain were irradiated at target doses of 50, 100, 150, and 200 Gy. When nymphs were irradiated, emergence was not affected at all target dose, but number of F1 nymph was perfectly inhibited at 150 Gy in both strains. When irradiated to the adults, longevity slightly decrease at 150 Gy and above. Fecundity was strongly decreased at 100 Gy, but was not completely inhibited even at 200 Gy. Emergence of F1 nymph was decreased at 100 Gy and completely inhibited at 200 Gy. However, there were no significant differences on development and reproduction of R and S strain. We also conducted the comet assay immediately after irradiation and over the following 10 day period. Severe DNA fragmentation in A. gossypii cells was observed just after irradiation and the damage was repaired during the post-irradiation period in a time-dependent manner. These results suggest that electron beam irradiation induced abnormal development, reproduction, and DNA damage in A. gossypii, but there were no significant differences between R and S strain.

본 논문에서는 아이소-지오메트릭 기법을 기반으로 민들린 후판에 대한 형상 설계민감도 해석법을 제시하였다. 아이소-지오메트릭 기법은 정확한 기하학적 형상의 표현, 요소 사이의 높은 연속성 등 바람직한 강점들을 가지고 있으며 궁극적으로는 해석해로의 빠른 수렴성과 정확한 설계민감도를 제공한다. 선형 형상함수를 사용하는 유한요소법과는 달리 아이소-지오메트릭 기법에서는 높은 차수의 NURBS 기저함수를 활용하여 CAD 형상의 법선벡터와 곡률을 정확하게 고려한다. 전단 잠김(Shear locking) 현상을 극복하기 위해서 선택적 감소적분(Selective reduced integration) 기법을 사용하였다. 이 간단한 방법은 복잡한 정식화 과정 없이 정확한 아이소-지오메트릭 형상 설계민감도 해석을 수행한다. 굽힘 문제에 대한 수치예제를 통하여 제안된 아이소-지오메트릭 해석과 유한요소 해석을 비교하였으며, 유한차분 설계민감도와 비교하여 아이소-지오메트릭 형상 설계민감도는 매우 정확함을 확인하였다.

This study examined the effects of reading global literature in literature-based instruction on overall L2 literacy ability and intercultural sensitivity development. One hundred twenty-two 5th and 6th grade elementary students and one hundred forty 7th and 8th graders in middle school in Korea participated in this study. Among the 262 participants, 131 students from each grade were assigned to the treatment groups,and remaining 131 participants were in the control groups. The treatment group received 39 sessions of reading global literature in thirteen weeks; the control group did not receive any treatment in this study. The latent mean analysis with the measurement model between literacy ability and intercultural sensitivity across control and treatment groups shows positive effects of reading global literature on L2 learners’ development of literacy ability and intercultural sensitivity. The study results provided support for reading global literature as an effective and powerful instructional method to improve L2 learners’ literacy ability and intercultural sensitivity. The students in the treatment group were more interculturally sensitive and outperformed the control group in L2 literacy achievement. The findings of this study have educational implications for teaching L2 with global literature to enhance L2 learners’ intercultural sensitivity and literacy ability in their L2 learning.

In recent years, research has been tried in various ways to incorporate sensitivity (emotion, feeling) in music content service. At home and abroad in a number of commercial music services, concept of user sensitivity has been incorporated in order to make their users feel more friendly and comfortable. However, the number of emotion words applied to those services was too small to express the varied and complex emotions user wants. In addition, the number of emotional contents was not sufficient. In this paper, we proposed the music sensitivity model and evaluation method, as a key component of customized service which provides personalized content search and social recommendation features. The proposed model provides a number of emotional words, built based on a musical vocabulary freely expressed on the Web, and intuitive classification of emotional words including mood (human feeling), emotion (content feeling), situation, and property categories. The proposed evaluation method provides an intuitive user interface for users to easily express their sensitivity, what they feels after listening music contents. The experiment was performed on 20 subjects, tested for lexical classification and sensitivity evaluation tasks, and the results showed the proposed method are meaningfully close to user intuition.

목적: 일반인과 각막굴절교정수술자에서 잔여굴절이사의 교정과 황색필터를 착용했을 때 대비감도를 측정하여 야간시력의 개선효과를 모색하고자 하였다. 방법: 20~39새로 안질환과 색각 아상이 없으며 단안 및 양안시력이 0.8(20/25) 이상인 자를 선정하였다. 각말굴절교정술을 받은 수술군 20명(남: 7명, 여: 13명)과 안과적 수술 경험이 없는 비수술군 14명(남:11명, 여: 3명)을 대상으로 하였다. Mesoptometer(Mesotest® II b, Oculus, Germany)를 이용하여 중등도 조명시각에서 나안상태, 4가지 필터를 착용했을 때, 잔여굴절이상교정시 및 잔여굴절이상교정후 4가지 필터를 착용했을 때 각각 대비감도를 측정하였다. 결 과: 수술군에서 대비감도는 나안상태와 비교하여 4가지 필터를 착용했을 때 모두 유의하게 저하되었으며(p＜0.01), 굴절이상을 교정했을 때에는 향상되었으나 유의성은 없었다(p=0.057)를 제외한 나머지필터에서 모두 유의하였다(p＜0.05). 비수술군에서 대비감도는 나안상태와 비교하여 4가지 필터를 착용했을때 모두 저화되었고, 540nm cut-off 18%와 540nm cut-off 35% 필터에서만 유의한 차이를 보였다(p＜0.05). 굴절이상을 교정했을 때에는 유의하게 향상되었다(p=0.007). 굴절이상교정 후 필터를 착용했을때 대비감도가 모두 저하되었으나. 540nm cut-off 35% 필터에서만 유의성을 보였다(p=0.021). 수술군과비수술군에서 잔여굴절이상을 교정했을 때와 교정상태에서 필터를 착용했을 때 비수술군에서 대비감도가 더 높았고 유의한 차이를 보였다(p＜0.05). 그러나 나안상태에서 필터를 착용하였을 때 대비감도의 저하는유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 굴절교정수술을 받은 사람들의 눈부심을 감소 시켜서 야간시력을 개선하기 위해서는 잔여굴절이상이 교정되어야 하고, 부가적으로 적절한 황색필터를 사용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

대기 모델링 연구에서 시간 간격을 적절하게 결정하는 것은 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 대기 모형에서 수치 해의 시간 간격에 대한 민감도를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 간단한 무차원화된 역학 모형을 사용하여 시간 간격과 비선형성 인자를 바꾸어가며 수치 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 비선형성 인자가 영향을 줄 만큼 크지 않고 절단 오차를 무시할 수 있는 경우에는 수치 해가 시간 간격에 민감하지 않았다. 그러나 비선형성 인자가 큰 경우에는 수치 해가 시간 간격에 민감한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 경우, 시간 간격이 감소할수록 공간 필터의 강도가 증가하여 작은 규모의 현상이 약하게 모의되었다. 이는 일반적으로 시간 간격이 감소하면 절단 오차가 감소하여 더 정확한 수치 해가 도출된다는 사실과 상충한다. 이러한 충돌은 비선형 모형의 수치 해를 안정하게 하기 위해 공간 필터가 반드시 필요하기 때문에 피할 수 없다.

Finite element analysis is to approximate a geometry model developed in computer-aided design(CAD) to a finite element model, thus the conventional shape design sensitivity analysis and optimization using the finite element method have some difficulties in the parameterization of geometry. However, isogeometric analysis is to build a geometry model and directly use the functions describing the geometry in analysis. Therefore, the geometric properties can be embedded in the NURBS basis functions and control points so that it has potential capability to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. In this study, the isogeometric structural analysis and shape design sensitivity analysis in the generalized curvilinear coordinate(GCC) systems are discussed for the curved geometry. Representing the higher order geometric information, such as normal, tangent and curvature, yields the isogeometric approach to be the best way for generating exact GCC systems from a given CAD geometry. The developed GCC isogeometric structural analysis and shape design sensitivity analysis are verified to show better accuracy and faster convergency by comparing with the results obtained from the conventional isogeometric method.

The aims of the present study were to estimate the possibility for toxicity test and compare acute toxicity of potassium dichromate in the larva stage of Neocaridina denticulata, Daphnia magna and the juvenile stage of Oryzias latipes. N. denticulate, a freshwater shrimp lives in Korea, is an indigenous species and considered to be useful for toxicity test. D. magna and O. latipes were recommended as a test species for the OECD test guideline. The 96 h-LC50 potassium dichromate value was 0.62 mg L-1 for the larva stage of N. denticulata and 168.44 mg L-1 for the juvenile stage of O. latipes. The 48 h-EC50 value was 1.27 mg L-1 for the D. magna. The study was confirmed higher sensitivity of the larva stage of N. denticulata to potassium dichromate compared to the D. magna and the juvenile stage of O. latipes.

This paper analyses the sensory responses of Chinese female consumers towards different designs of perfume bottles with particular attention to the existence of logos on them. We used total 40 samples of the perfume bottles, 20 with logos on them and 20 without, and the results show that young Chinese female consumers prefer simple designs over complex designs that contain different types of free curves with vivid colors. In addition, the existence of logos on bottles was found not to change the responses significantly, meaning that the logos on bottles do not affect sensibility of Chinese female towards perfume bottles. A logo's impacts on the bottle depended in part on the bottle's color and shape. Overall, a perfume bottle with simple shapes and light colors became regarded as more resplendent when the logo was added, but a bottle with more complex shapes and vivid colors tended to become regarded as plainer after adding the logo. This shows that a logo serves as a conciliatory element in the impression of the whole bottle in the 'resplendent-plain' category.

목적: 본 연구는RGP 렌즈의 형상에 따라 착용 전 후 대비감도를 분석하고 안광학계에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 부산, 경남 소재 대학생 가운데 시력에 영향을 줄 만한 전신질환이나, 안질환등의 병력이 없고, 시력 교정 수술을 하지 않은 38명(남자 21명, 여자 17명)을 대상으로 VCTS 6500(원거리)을 이용하여 명소시(125cd/m2 )와 암소시(3cd/m2 )의 조도에서 나안시력 상태의RGP 렌즈 착용 전과 A, B, C, D 렌즈를 착용한 상태에서 각각의 대비감도를 측정하였다. 결과: 명소시에서 대비감도는 공간주파수1.5cpd에서 RGP 렌즈 착용 전과 비교하여 D 렌즈에서만 유의한 차이가 있었다(p=0.016). 3cpd(F=1.062, p=0.377), 6cpd (F=0.277, p=0.893). 12cpd(F=0.941, p=0.441). 18cpd(F=0.512, p=0.727)는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 암소시에서 대비감도는 1.5cpd(F=1.109, p=0.354)는 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 3cpd(F=1.745, p=0.142), 6cpd(F=2.666, p=0.034), 12cpd(F=5.085, p=0.001)에서는 4가지 렌즈를 착용했을 때 유의한 차이가 있었다.

This paper uses the sensibility engineering method to find the model of automobile most appealing to buyers in the 4th and 5th tier cities of China. Samples of class A & A0 cars were shown to 96 subjects in those cities to investigate their responses in relation to the concepts 'modern' and 'smart'. The result shows that even though men tend to be more sensitive to automobile models in general than women are, both genders showed similar responses to specific models when they were asked to identify a model 'magnificent', 'modern', 'lively', 'smart' or 'cute'. This implies that despite the gender differences in terms of aesthetic sensitivity, both men and women share similar taste in relation to the appearance of cars. Apart from aesthetics, however, men tend to pay a greater attention to the details of design and material used for the cars, while women tend to pay attention to higher priced and better looking cars.

The validity of the results from observational methods such as RULA, REBA, OWAS has been one of major concerns due to their subjective characteristics in determining the posture of interests. There have been many studies regarding validity of the results from each checklist. However, most studies provided only fragmentary rather than comprehensive results in nature. This study specifically tried to analyze consistency of novice user based on intra-observer consistency and sensitivity of industrial types during MSDs(Musculoskekltal Disorders) evaluation with major checklists. In this study, twenty two novice subjects were participated to conduct MSDs evaluation for the forty five jobs from three types of industries(automobile, electronics, hospital). The main results for this study were summarized as follows; 1) The action level based on RULA was always higher than that from REBA and OWAS for all three types of industries., 2) The order of consistency from novice users was OWAS(72.7%(kappa=0.57)) RULA(54.3%(kappa=0.41)), REBA(41.0%(kappa=0.34))., 3) The percentage of agreement between 2nd and 3rd trials was higher than those between 1st and 2nd trials and between 1st and 3rd trials irrespective of industrial types during using RULA and REBA., 4) The average score of automobile industry was higher than those of hospital and electronics industries., 5) The types of jobs associated with five body parts(A1(Front), A2(Interior), A3(Rear), A4(Lower), A5(Door)) in automobile industry showed statistically significant differences in terms of MSDs scores for the body parts considered in each checklists.

역학적-경험적 포장설계 프로그램 중에서, 미국 AASHTO 설계법을 기초로 개발된 MEPDG는 교통량, 기상, 재료물성, 포장구조 등을 입력변수로 하여 기술자가 최적의 대안을 찾도록 한다. 하지만 MEPDG에서 기술적 문제가 발견되고 있기 때문에 이를 해결하여 프로그램을 개선하기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 한편, 국내에서도 KPRP 연구과제에서 역학적-경험적 포장설계 프로그램이 개발되어 왔다. 이 한국형 포장설계 프로그램을 더욱 합리적으로 개발하고 개선하기 위해서는 이미 사용되고 있는 MEPDG를 분석하여 서로 비교할 필요가 있다. 콘크리트 포장설계의 경우, 피로균열은 다른 공용성 인자와는 달리 매우 복잡한 로직을 통해 예측된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MEPDG 버전 0.5, 버전 1.0, 그리고 버전 1.1의 피로균열 전이함수를 분석하였다. 그리고 버전별 MEPDG와 KPRP 입력변수들의 누적피로손상에 대한 민감도를 서로 비교하였다.
