The evolutionary tracks of a protostar of one solar mass under quasi-hydrostatic equilibrium are computed with mass-accretion time scales of 10^3,10^4,10^5 and 10^6 years, and their resulting behaviors in the H-R diagram are discussed. It is found that there exists a critical time scale of mass accretion, which reverses the course of their evolutionary tracks. A value of the critical time scale appears to lie between 10^3 and 10^4 years. The physical cause for the presence of the critical time scale is discussed. Finally, it is proposed that star formation requires at least several 10^3 years before any star is born out of dark dense interstellar clouds.

We have collected times of minimum light available in the literature for WZ Andromedae and analyzed the nature of the period variations. The O-C diagram of WZ And clearly shows that two abrupt changes near JD 2418000 and JD 2435000 are deduced by dp/p= + 4.24 |timesa 10 − 6 and dp/p= − 2.46 × 10 − 6 , respectively. For these period changes, we have introduced the equations which represent mass exchange in the close binery systems given by Biermann and Hall (1973), and the computation yieleled a mass flow of 7.42 × 10 − 5 M . from the hotter component to the cooler one. Due to the amount of mass flow, the period decrease may also be calculated. The theoritical new period after JD 2435000 became 0.69565858 days, which is in good agreement with the value 0.69566034 days found in the O-C diagram. In this computation, the mass ratio of WZ And suggested that the hotter star is the filling its Rochclooe, and thus WZ And is in Paczynski's stage II.

Densities of the three constituent spheroids of the same eccentricity as our earlier model of the Galaxy are assumed to be given by an analytical form of ρ i (r)= k i e − m i r u i , where k i , m i , and α i are obtained by comparing with the results of the previous model. Using three values of ρ i (r) the galactic rotation curve, mass of each spheroid and the whole Galaxy are calculated, and the three dimensional density distribution in the Galaxy is also obtained. The calculated rotation curve of the model Galaxy is in good agreement with the observed curve, and the shape of the cross section of the model Galaxy given by the computed density is very similar to the inferred shape of the spiral galaxies.

An improved version of the galatic mass distribution has been derived by increasing the number of shells in each spheroid of our earlier model. It is found that the increase of the number of the shell improves the model considerably, thus making it agree far better with observations.

A simple model of the galactic mass distribution consisting of one sphere and two spheroids with different eccentricities is considered. The resulting model is found to be consistent with the recent observations of the galactic rotation as well as suggested shape of the Galaxy.

A numerical simulation was conducted on perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the Gwangyang Bay using a multi-box model to estimate the transport of organic chemicals in the coastal environment. The results of the sensitivity analysis on dissolved PFOS and PFOS in Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) indicate that they were most significantly influenced by the adsorption rate, desorption rate, and sinking velocity coefficients. PFOS in phytoplankton was found to be sensitive to bio-concentration and the excretion rate. The results of the mass balance indicate that the standing stocks of PFOS in water, POC, and phytoplankton are 345.55 g, 63.76 g, and 0.11 g, respectively, in the inner part and 149.90 g, 27.51 g, and 0.05 g, respectively, in the outer part. Considering flux in the inner part, adsorption to POC had the highest value among transition paths. The next highest were desorption, outflow to the outer part, and inflow to the inner part. Outflow into the open sea was found to have the highest value for the outer part.

This study investigated the nitrate formation process, and mass closure of Particulate Matter (PM) were calculated over the urbanized area of Jeju Island. The data for eight water-soluble inorganic ions and nineteen elements in PM2.5 and PM10 were used. The results show that the nitrate concentration increased as excess ammonium increased in ammonium-rich samples. Furthermore, nitrate formation was not as important in ammonium-poor samples as it was in previous studies. According to the sum of the measured species, approximately 45~53% of gravimetric mass of PM remained unidentified. To calculate the mass closure for both PM2.5 and PM10, PM chemical components were categorized into secondary inorganic aerosol, crustal matter, sea salt, trace matter and unidentified matter. The results by the mass reconstruction of PM components show that the portion of unidentified matter was decreased from 52.7% to 44.0% in PM2.5 and from 45.1% to 29.1% in PM10, despite the exclusion of organic matter and elemental carbon.

We have developed an algorithm for tracking coronal mass ejection (CME) propagation that allows us to estimate CME speed and its arrival time at Earth. The algorithm may be used either to forecast the CME’s arrival on the day of the forecast or to update the CME tracking information for the next day’s forecast. In our case study, we successfully tracked CME propagation using the algorithm based on g-values of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observation provided by the Institute for Space- Earth Environmental Research (ISEE). We were able to forecast the arrival time (Δt = 0.30 h) and speed (Δv = 20 km/s) of a CME event on October 2, 2000. From the CME-interplanetary CME (ICME) pairs provided by Cane & Richardson (2003), we selected 50 events to evaluate the algorithm’s forecast capability. Average errors for arrival time and speed were 11.14 h and 310 km/s, respectively. Results demonstrated that g-values obtained continuously from any single station observation were able to be used as a proxy for CME speed. Therefore, our algorithm may give stable daily forecasts of CME position and speed during propagation in the region of 0.2–1 AU using the IPS g-values, even if IPS velocity observations are insufficient. We expect that this algorithm may be widely accepted for use in space weather forecasting in the near future.

We present new BVRI light curves of UY UMa with no O’Connell effect and a flat bottom secondary eclipse. Light curve synthesis with the Wilson-Devinney code gives a new solution, which is quite different from the previous study: UY UMa is an A-subtype over-contact binary with a small mass ratio of q = 0.21, a high inclination of 81˚.4, a small temperature difference of ΔT = 18˚, a large fill-out factor of f = 0.61, and a third light of approximately 10% of the total systemic light. The absolute dimensions were newly determined. Seventeen new times of minimum light have been calculated from our observations. The period study indicates that the orbital period has intricately varied in a secular period increase in which two cyclical terms with periods of 12y.0 and 46y.3 are superposed. The secular period increase was interpreted to be due to a conservative mass transfer of 2.68 × 10–8 M⊙/yr from the less massive to the more massive star. The cyclical components are discussed in terms of double-light time contributions from two additional bound stars. The statistical relations of Yang & Qian (2015) among the physical parameters of 45 deep, low mass ratio contact binaries were revisited by using the physical parameters of UY UMa and 25 Kepler contact binaries provided by Şenavci et al. (2016).

Bacillus genus are found abundantly in various sites and their secondary metabolites were used as potential agents in agriculture, notably plant growth promoting and bio-control. The objective of this study was to develop the culture conditions of GH1-13 strain including higher cell growth, stable endospore-forming and enhancement of potential agents which are related with plant growth promoting and phytopathogen suppression. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were determined by glucose and soy bean flour, respectively, then resulted in 7.5×109 cells/mL, 6.8×109 endospore cells/mL and sporulation yield of 90% after 30 h cultivation in 500 L submerged fermenter at 37℃, pH 7.0. Cells and cell-free supernatant of GH1-13 strains showed the potent antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. It was also confirmed that indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production of GH1-13 strain was greatly increased by addition of 0.3% tryptophan.

본 연구는 유방 전단파 탄성 초음파에서 탄성도 점수와 변형비를 이용한 방법이 양성과 악성병변의 감별진단에 유용한지를 평가하였다. 탄성 초음파를 시행한 224명을 대상으로 하였으며, 유방조직검사 결과를 바탕으로 후향적인 분석을 하였다. 유방 종괴의 양성과 악성에 따른 5단계의 탄성도 점수와의 동질성 비교는 Fisher's Exact test, 변형비와의 차이검증은 Mann-Whitney U test를 실시하였다. ROC 곡선분석을 통해 악성병변의 예측을 위한 탄성도 점수와 변형비의 최적 cut off 값을 결정하였다. 양성과 악성 결절 군의 분류에 따른 탄성도 점수의 동질성 비교와 변형비의 차이검증 결과에서 각각 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며(p=.000), ROC 곡선분석에서 양성과 악성 결절의 예측을 위한 탄성도 점수와 변형비의 AUC 0.824, 0.806, cut off 값 3, 4.4로 결정되었다(p=.001). 따라서 탄성도 점수와 변형비는 유방 종괴의 감별진단에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 자동노출제어 (AEC; Automatic Exposure Control)를 이용한 복부 일반 X선 검사에서 체질량지수 (BMI; Body Mass Index)가 입사표면공기커마 (ESAK; Entrance Surface Air Kerma)에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 연구방법은 AEC를 이용하여 복부 일반 X선 검사를 시행 받은 321명을 대상으로 키, 몸무게, BMI와 ESAK의 관계 및 BMI범주 (Underweight, Normal, Overweight, Obese 1, Obese 2)에 따른 평균 ESAK값을 비교하였다. 연구의 결과 몸무게 (R2=0.777, p<.001)와 BMI (R2=0.835, p<.001)는 ESAK와 양의 상관관계가 있었던 반면, 키 (R2=0.075, p<.001)와 BMI는 뚜렷한 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. BMI범주에 대한 평균 ESAK는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 사후분석을 통해 유의수준 0.05에 대해 5개의 부집단이 존재하여 모든 BMI범주 간 ESAK값의 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 인접한 BMI간 ESAK값 증가폭이 Underweight에서 Obese 2로 갈수록 점차 늘어나 BMI가 증가할수록 피폭선량이 급격하게 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 복부 일반 X선 검사에서 AEC를 사용할 경우 BMI가 증가함에 따라 과도한 선량이 조사될 수 있음을 인식하고 검사조건을 고정하여 촬영하는 등의 노력을 통한 선량저감화가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

An advanced lumped-mass stick (LMS) model is developed to improve the dynamic response accuracy of the conventional LMS model. In order to display the performance of the advanced LMS model, a four-story frame structure is prepared and performed a shaking table test using several earthquake ground motions. The frame structure consists of stainless steel and mass plates. The horizontal natural frequencies of first to fourth mode are 1.86Hz to 48.83Hz. In this paper, the seismic responses resulted from the advanced LMS model of the structure are compared with the results of the shaking table test.

In this paper, a tuned mass damper is applied to improve the seismic performance of the lighting tower. The light tower has a high slenderness ratio, low lateral stiffness and top mass is large structure so this has weak for vibration characteristics. The optimized damping coefficient and stiffness were applied to the four lighting tower models analyzed. As a result, the light tower with TMD showed a tendency to reduce the displacement response significantly against the earthquake.

There are several techniques to build the lumped-mass stick model, which are tributary-area based conventional model, frequency adaptive model, and advanced model combining the conventional and frequency adaptive models. The present study is to compare the seismic response accuracy of the models including FE model. The target structure is a nuclear containment structure and 45 earthquake ground motions are considered for the seismic analysis. The results show that the advanced lumped-mass model provides similar and more consistent responses to the FE model, compared to other models.

This study was performed to develop the mass propagation system using tissue culture technique to supply the seeds of Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum L.) which has difficulty in propagation. Immature spathe of Elephant garlic was cultured on Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with two plant growth regulators, naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and kinetin. After 6 weeks of culture, the highest number of shoot (14.9/explant) was obtained when the immature spathe with 10 ㎝ length was cultured right after harvesting. In MS medium supplemented with 2 ㎎/L kinetin and 0.5 ㎎/L NAA, the most vigorous growth characteristics was observed, the shoot number was 14.9/explant, its length was 11.3 ㎝, and its fresh weight was 2.5 g. When the bulblets were cultured in MS medium with 2 ㎎/L kinetin and 0.5 ㎎/L NAA, the addition of 30 ㎎/L adenine improved their proliferation and growth significantly, the highest bulblet formation rate (48%) was obtained. The addition of 7% sucrose also increased the bulblet formation rate at the highest frequency of 98.2%. The shoots were shown be more vigorously proliferated at the secondary subculture stage rather than primary culture stage, their propagation rate was 80% after subculture.
