LI2형 결정구조를 갖는 Ni-20at.%AI-10at%Fe 금속간화합물에 boron, zirconium 과 hafnium을 최고 0.5at.% 까지 첨가하여 항복강도, 연성, 파괴 등 기계적 성질의 변화를 인장시험과 X선분석 및 XPS분석 등을 통하여 관찰하였다. Ni-20at.% AI-10at.% Fe금속간화합물에 boron을 첨가하였을 때는 연신율의 현저한 증가가 나타났으나 zirconium이나 hafnium첨가의 경우에는 별다른 효과가 나타나지 않았다. Ni-20at.%AI-10at%Fe 금속간화합물의 경우, boron의 양이 증가할수록 인장연신율이 증가하였으며 0.1at.%의 boron을 첨가한 경우 최고 48.5%의 상온인장연신율을 나타내었다. 첨가물을 넣지 않은 경우와 zirconium과 hafnium을 첨가한 경우, 파괴모드는 입계파괴의 형태를 나타내었으나 boron을 첨가한 경우에는 파괴모드가 입계파괴에서 입내파괴로 변화되었다. XPS분석을 통하여 boron이 입계에 편석된 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 이는 이미 제시된 여러가지 해석들과 일치하는 결과이다. 이로부터 boron의 첨가에 따른 인장연신율의 증가는 boron의 입계편석거동과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있다.

이번 연구는 영덕단층 일원을 대상으로 실시된 상세 지표지질조사에서 수집된 다양한 구조요소들의 기 하와 운동학적 자료 그리고 단층암의 대자율이방성 분석 자료를 바탕으로 영덕단층의 내부구조 그리고 기하와 운동학적 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 영덕단층은 영덕군 강구면 오포리에서 울진군 매화면 길곡리와 기성면 방 율리까지 연장되며, 4.6-5.0 km (평균 4.77 km)의 우수향 수평변위로 고원생대부터 중생대에 이르는 다양한 암 종을 절단하거나 암상경계를 이룬다. 영덕단층은 4개의 기하학적 분절로 구분되며, 대부분 노두에서 남-북 내 지 북북서 주향에 54° 이상 고각으로 동쪽으로 경사지고 있으나 북쪽으로 갈수록 서쪽으로 54°-82° 경사지는 노두가 증가한다. 영덕단층은 모암의 암종에 따라 0.3-15 m 범위의 다양한 폭을 가진 단층핵과 단층대 내부구 조의 차이를 보이는데, 이는 모암의 연성도, 구성광물, 입자크기, 이방성과 같은 물성 차이에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. 이번 연구에서 새롭게 도출한 고응력장 및 대자율이방성 분석 결과와 기존 연구 결과를 종합하면, 영 덕단층은 (1) 백악기말~신생대초에 북서-남동 최대수평응력(σHmax)과 북동-남서 최소수평응력(σHmin) 하에서 좌 수향 주향이동운동을 겪은 이후, (2) 신생대 고진기에 북동-남서 최대수평응력과 북서-남동 최소수평응력 하에 서 우수향 주향이동운동을 겪었음을 지시한다. 이중 고진기에 발생한 우수향 주향이동운동에 의한 변형이 가장 우세하였으며 이후 지각변형은 미미하였던 것으로 해석된다.

한반도 동남부에서 가장 규모가 큰 마이오세 포항분지의 남서부를 대상으로 상세한 지질도 작성과 지질구조를 분석하여 분지 발달사를 해석하였다. 포항분지 남서부는 북북동 방향의 분지 내 지구내지루에 의해 기하와 변형사가 서로 다른 서쪽의 보문구역과 동쪽의 오천구역으로 나누어진다. 보문구역은 포항분지 초기 확장 이후 거의 변형되지 않은 반면, 오천구역은 충전물의 퇴적 이후에도 후기 변형이 지속·중첩된 지역이다. 따 라서 보문구역은 포항분지 최초 확장 형식에 대한 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 보문구역은 북북동 방향의 정단 층들과 북북서(북서) 방향의 우수향 주향이동단층 분절들이 지그재그로 이어진 서편 경계단층에 의해 침강이 주도되었으며, 이 경계단층은 남쪽으로 한반도 동남부 마이오세 지각변형의 서쪽 한계선이며 우수향 주향이 동성 주변위대로 알려진 연일구조선과 연결된다. 따라서 포항분지는 17-16.5Ma 경 활동을 시작한 연일구조 선 북쪽 말단에 우향스텝 형태로 생성된 북북동 방향의 정단층 또는 사교이동단층에 의해 서북서-동남동 방 향으로 확장된 횡인장단층말단분지로 최초 침강된 것으로 해석된다. 이로 인해 보문구역에는 서쪽으로 갈수록 분 지의 깊이가 더 깊어지는 북북동 방향의 비대칭 지구 또는 반지구가 생성되었다. 이후 포항분지의 확장과 변 형은 오천구역을 포함하는 보다 동편 지역으로 이동하였다.

We used numerical models to reliably analyze the groundwater flow and hydraulic conductivity on Jeju Island. To increase reliability, improvements were made to model application factors such as hydraulic watershed classification, groundwater recharge calculation by precipitation, hydraulic conduction calculation using the pilot point method, and expansion of the observed groundwater level. Analysis of groundwater flow showed that the model-calculated water level was similar to the observed value. However, the Seogwi and West Jeju watersheds showed large differences in groundwater level. These areas need to be analyzed by segmenting the distribution of the hydraulic conductivity. Analyzing the groundwater flow in a sub watershed showed that groundwater flow was similar to values from equipotential lines; therefore, the reliability of the analysis results could be improved. Estimation of hydraulic conductivity distribution according to the results of the groundwater flow simulation for all areas of Jeju Island showed hydraulic conductivity > 100 m/d in the coastal area and 1 45 m/d in the upstream area. Notably, hydraulic conductivity was 500 m/d or above in the lowlands of the eastern area, and it was relatively high in some northern and southern areas. Such characteristics were found to be related to distribution of the equipotential lines and type of groundwater occurrence.

This study was carried out to identify the problems of the underground watersheds on Jeju Island, and to establish the hydraulic groundwater basin to be used as basis for the analysis of the groundwater model. In order to evaluate the adequacy of the groundwater basin on Jeju Island, a correlation analysis between elevation and groundwater level was conducted using data from 125 observation wells. The analysis, conducted with an elevation step of 100 m, exhibited values of R2 in the range 0.1653-0.8011. No clear correlation was observed between elevation and groundwater level. In particular, the eastern and western areas showed an inverse proportionality between elevation and groundwater level. The Kriging technique was used to analyze the underground water level data and to define the equipotential lines for all areas of Jeju Island. Eight groundwater watersheds were delineated by considering the direction of groundwater flow, the positions of the observation wells, and the long and short axes of the watersheds.

This study reviewed the applicability of the existing flood discharge calculation method on Jeju Island Han Stream and compared this method with observation results by improving the mediating variables for the Han Stream. The results were as follows. First, when the rain-discharge status of the Han Stream was analyzed using the flood discharge calculation method of the existing design (2012), the result was smaller than the observed flood discharge and the flood hydrograph differed. The result of the flood discharge calculation corrected for the curve number based on the terrain gradient showed an improvement of 1.47 - 6.47% from the existing flood discharge, and flood discharge was improved by 4.39 - 16.67% after applying the new reached time. In addition, the sub-basin was set separately to calculate the flood discharge, which yielded an improvement of 9.92 - 32.96% from the existing method. In particular, the steepness and rainfall-discharge characteristics of Han Stream were considered in the reaching time, and the sub-basin was separated to calculate the flood discharge, which resulted in an error rate of –8.77 to 8.71%, showing a large improvement of 7.31 - 28.79% from the existing method. The flood hydrograph also showed a similar tendency.

Background: A critical features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is cognitive dysfunction, which partly arises from decreased in acetylcholine levels. AD afftected brains are characterized by extensive oxidative stress, which is thought to be primarily induced by the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide. In a previous study, Cinnamomum loureiroi tincture inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity. That study identified AChE inhibitor in the C. loureiroi extract. Furthermore, the C. loureiroi extract enhanced memory in a trimethyltin (TMT)-induced model of cognitive dysfunction, as assessed via two behavioral tests. Rosa laevigata extract protected against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity. Administrating R. laevigata extracts to mice significantly reversed Aβ-induced learning and memory impairment, as shown in behavioral tests. Methods and Results: We conducted behavioral to examine the synergistic effects of C. loureiroi and R. laevigata extracts in inhibiting AChE and counteracting TMT-induced learning and memory losses. We also performed biochemical assays. The biochemical results showed a relationship between increased oxidative stress and cholinergic neurons damage in TMT-treated mice. Conclusions: A diet containing C. loureiroi and R. laevigata extracts ameliorated learning and memory impairments in the Y-maze and passive avoidance tests, and exerted synergistic inhibitory effect against AChE and lipid peroxidation.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed is an important dietary source of protein, oil, carbohydrates, isoflavones, and other nutrients for humans and animals. Raffinose and stachyose are the main antinutritional factors in soybean seed. They are carbohydrates belonging to the raffinose family of oligosaccharides, which are not readily digested in humans and cause flatulence or diarrhea. The genetic reduction of the raffinose and stachyose contents in mature soybean seeds will improve the nutritional value of soybean. The objective of this research was to evaluate agronomic traits with 10 F6 strains selected from breeding populations derived from a cross among seven parents. The contents of raffinose and stachyose in mature seeds were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. Agronomic traits such as flower color, flowering date, harvesting date, lodging, plant height, seed coat color, hilum color, 100 seed weight, and yield were evaluated. Ten intermediate parents showed low raffinose and stachyose contents. The intermediate parent 883-1 had a small seed size, six intermediate parents (15A1, 15D1, RS-5, RS-33, RS-64, and RS-70) had a medium seed size, and two intermediate parents (14G20 and RS-21) had a large seed size. The intermediate parent RS-21 had a black seed coat and a green cotyledon. Four intermediate parents (883-1, 14G20, RS-5, and RS-21) had elite agronomic traits. The new intermediate parents developed through this study will be used to develop improved soybean cultivars with low contents of raffinose and stachyose.

In this study, groundwater flow was analyzed targeting Dae-jeong watershed, which exhibited the largest variations of groundwater levels at the identical elevation points among the 16 watersheds of Jeju Island. The issues of the methods applied in practice were identified and improvement plans were suggested. This groundwater-flow estimates derived by applying hydraulic conductivity values onto zones of equal topographic ground level were found to be quite different from actual measured groundwater flow. Conversely, groundwater-flow estimates that utilized hydraulic conductivity values applied onto groundwater-level equipotential lines indicated relatively lesser divergences from actual measured groundwater flow. The reliabilities of the two approaches were assessed for 60 randomly selected points on DEM (digital elevation model) maps, The method using hydraulic conductivity values applied onto groundwater-level contours turned out to be the more reliable approach for the Dae-jeong watershed in Jeju Island.

Jeju Island relies on subterranean water for over 98% of its water resources, and it is therefore necessary to continue to perform studies on drought due to climate changes. In this study, the representative standardized precipitation index (SPI) is classified by various criteria, and the spatial characteristics and applicability of drought in Jeju Island are evaluated from the results. As the result of calculating SPI of 4 weather stations (SPI 3, 6, 9, 12), SPI 12 was found to be relatively simple compared to SPI 6. Also, it was verified that the fluctuation of SPI was greater fot short-term data, and that long-term data was relatively more useful for judging extreme drought. Cluster analysis was performed using the K-means technique, with two variables extracted as the result of factor analysis, and the clustering was terminated with seven-time repeated calculations, and eventually two clusters were formed.

It is important that structure's exact damage analysis and decision-making for recovery when natural disasters cause damage on SOC structure. There are many related studies using geo-spatial data like satellite and aerial images. Recently the interest has increasing about utilizing UAV(Unmanned aerial vehicle). But there are little studies related it. Therefore, we present the extraction method of the shape changes of structure damage using UAV images.

This study analyzed fluctuations of ground water level of ground water wells developed in Seongsan watershed of Jeju Island until 2013 using MODFLOW, a numerical analysis model. Ground water level shows greater fluctuations from increase of pump capacity compared to the number of ground water wells. The development of ground water at the top of watershed was found to have direct influence on ground water level. Ground water wells developed until 2013 were used to continue pumping for 50 days, and ground water level of coastal region was reduced below 50% compared to the standard water level. In addition, the range of fluctuation of water level was large in the east coast region, which represents the direction of flow of ground water.

Jeju Island is the highest rain-prone area in Korea that possesses affluent water resources, but future climate changes are predicted to further increase vulnerabilities as resultant of increasing of extreme events and creating spatial-temporal imbalance in water resources. Therefore, this study aimed to provide basic information to establish a proper water resources management plan by evaluating the effects of climate change on water resources using climate change scenario. Direct runoff ratio for 15 years (2000~2014) was analyzed to be 11∼32% (average of 23%), and average direct runoff ratio for the next 86 years (2015∼2100) was found as 28%, showing an increase of about 22% compared to the present average direct runoff ratio (23%). To assess the effects of climate change on long-term runoff, monthly runoff variation of future Gangjeong watershed was analyzed by dividing three time periods as follows: Present (2000∼2030), Future 1 (2031∼2070) and Future 2 (2071∼ 2100). The estimated results showed that average monthly runoff increases in the future and the highest runoff is shown by Future 2. Extreme values has been expected to occur more frequently in the future as compared to the present.

The depth of low permeable layer in Jeju Island was analyzed using the geologic columnar section data. The highest low permeable layer was found in center of Mt. Halla and the deepest area was in eastern part of Jeju Island. The study area, Seongsan watershed, is located in the eastern part of Jeju where the low permeable layer showing deep in a northward direction. Based on this analysis, the MODFLOW modeling was performed for groundwater flow of Seongsan watershed. The boundary of Seongsan watershed was set up as a no-flow and the modeling result showed the difference -0.26~0.62 m compared to the observed groundwater level. Meanwhile, MODFLOW model results considering low permeable layer showed -0.26~0.36 m differences compared to groundwater level and indicated more accurate than no-flow method result. Therefore, to interpret the groundwater flow over Seongsan watershed, comprehensive consideration including the low permeable layer distribution below the basalt layer is needed.

An adaptive robot hand (AR-Hand) has a stable grasp of different objects in unstructured environments. In this study, we propose an AR-Hand based on a tendon-driven mechanism which consists of 4 fingers and 12 DOFs. It weighs 0.5 kg and can grasp an object up to 1 kg. This hand based on the adaptive grasp mechanism is able to provide a stable grasp without a complex control algorithm or sensor system. The fingers are driven by simple tendon structures with each finger capable of adaptively grasping the objects. This paper presents a method to decide the joint stiffness. The adaptive grasping is verified by various grasping experiments involving objects with different shapes and sizes.

Global increase in the demand for the new Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) results in the rapid increase of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (or electronic waste). Significant efforts on developing diverse WEEE recycling policy and programs such as extended producer responsibility (EPR), WEEE directive, and the restriction of the use of hazardous substances (RoHS) directive are being made by many developed nations. This study focuses on determining priority among proposed WEEE recycling policy research projects by a number of experts from academia, institutions and recycling industry using quality function deployment (QFD) method to better manage and recycle WEEE in Korea. In order to develop effective WEEE recycling policy, a total of 12 different WEEE recycling policy research projects were proposed by a total of 11 experts related WEEE recycling. Reliability and validity evaluation of the proposed projects were conducted, along with SPSS statistical software. By using the QFD method, a survey regarding potential problems, suggestions, and difficulties at several WEEE recycling facilities were conducted and evaluated. Evaluation of the proposed projects was made by house of quality (HOQ). In this study, proposed research projects with higher importance index include WEEE collection system, development of WEEE recycling guideline, and establishment of WEEE generation/collection/recycling national database. The QFD method employed in this study can be effectively used as a decision-making process tool in WEEE recycling policy and road map.
