Although monitoring of radon has been extensively implemented throughout South Korea, the risk assessment has been mainly limited to indoor environments such as schools, workplaces, and multi-use facilities, and evaluations have normally been performed separately. In this study, the differences in radon exposure according to two groups (< 1 and 1-6 years old) were evaluated considering various indoor and outdoor environments, timeactivity patterns, variations in radon concentrations, and dwelling type (single detached and apartment house) using Monte-Carlo simulation. The distribution and representative values of radon concentration by micro-environments were confirmed through the Anders-Darling test, and a uniform distribution was applied in case of uncertainty. The effective dose ranged from 1.81 ± 1.19 to 2.81 ± 3.02mSv/y. Comparing the levels recommended by EPA, WHO, and ICRP with the value of the 95th percentile of this study, it was found that the results for those dwelling in detached houses exceeded recommended levels. Infants that spend a lot of time in homes with relatively high levels of concentration of radon are assessed to be somewhat more vulnerable to radon exposure.

본 논문에서는 무한영역을 유한의 요소영역으로 표현하는데 있어서 가장 폭넓게 사용되는 점성감쇠기를 이용한 흡수경계의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 2차원 평면조화파동방정식을 이용하여 응력파의 경계면으로의 입사각에 따른 흡수경계조건을 최적화 하였으며, Miller 등이 제안한 반무한 탄성체에서의 주기하중에 의한 전파식을 최적화된 점성감쇠기를 이용한 흡수경계 조건식에 삽입한 후 방정식의 해를 직접 비교함으로서 해석적인 검증을 수행하였다. 또한 수치적 검증을 위해 유한요소법을 사용하여 Miller 등의 파진행 문제를 구현하였으며, 이때 흡수경계를 구현하기 위해 점성감쇠기를 부착시킨 수치모형에서의 변위와 파의 도달시간을 고려하여 반사파의 영향을 제거시킨 수치모형에서의 변위를 비교함으로써 흡수율을 산정하였다. 흡수율은 수치모형의 경계와 내부점에 대해 각각 산정되었으며 이를 통해 수치적 검증을 수행하였다.

무한영역에서 진행하는 탄성파를 유한영역에서 수치적으로 해석하기 위해 많은 흡수경계조건들이 제안되어져 왔다. Paraxial 경계조건은 흡수경계조건의 하나로서 스칼라 및 탄성파 방정식의 paraxial 근사화를 통해 얻어지며, 그 성능이 우수하고 수치해석시 계산적 부담을 주지 않는다. 그러나 경계조건이 복잡한 편미분 방정식으로 표현되어 있어 유한요소해석으로의 적용이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 penalty function method를 이용하여 전체 에너지 범함수와 paraxial 경계조건을 함께 변분정식화 함으로써 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석에 가장 적용이 용이하며, 많이 사용되어지는 Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer의 흡수경계조건과 성능을 비교함으로써 연구결과의 타당성을 입증하였다.

Due to its low density, good mechanical properties and chemical inertness, glassy carbon(GC) has been studied for appications in several fields. A raw thermosetting resin of furanic resin was polymerized with a curing agent of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The maximum yield of GC was obtained at the curing agent content of 1.0 wt% in furanic resin. In order to make thick GC, the affect of graphite filler addition to the furanic resin was investigated. The density and electrical resitivity of GC after graphitization were 1.45 g/cm3 and 47 ×10-4 Ω · cm respectively and the amorphous structure of GC was confirmed by XRD profiles with very broad peaks comparable to those of graphite at 206˚ and 45˚.

Zr-Si의 2원계 합금에서 Si함량 변화가 Zr의 부식특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 Si 함량을 0.01-0.1wt.%로 조절하여 Zr-Si 2원계 합금을 제조하고 360˚C, 2660psi 물 분위기의 autoclave에서 100일동안 부식 실험을 수행하였다. 0.01wt.%, 0.05wt.%의 Si 첨가에서는 검은색의 균일한 산화막이 생성되었고, 부식속도의 천이는 발생하지 않았다. 그러나 0.01wt.%에서는 흰색의 산화막이 생성되었고, 70일에서 부식속도 천이가 발생하였다. Sigkafid이 0.01에서 0.01wt.%로 증가할수록 무게증가량은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Si 첨가량 변화에 따라 산화막구조의 변화는 나타나지 않았지만, 산화막의 전기적 성질에 많은 영향을 주었다. Si 첨가량 변화에 따라 산화막구조의 변화는 나타나지 않았지만, 산화막의 전기적 성질에 많은 영향을 주었다. Zr-Si 2원계 합금에서 Si은 tetragonal 구조의 Zr3Si로 석출되었으며, Si 함량이 증가할수록 석출물의 크기와 부피분율이 증가하였고, 석출물의 크기와 부피분율 증가에 따라 석출물의 short-circuit 효과 때문에 무게증가량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

These studies were conducted to investigate the effect of repreated superovulation on embryo production, the effect of the frozen-thawed embryos transferred on the developmental stage and grade, and donor-recipient synchrony on pregnancy rate in Korean native cattle. The results obtained in these studies were as follows: 1. Repeated superovulations in Korean Native Catile were not affected on the number of corpus luteum (CL), embryos recovered and embryos cleaved (range: 4.8 4.21 to 9.5 6.50, 1.8 2.53 to 8.2 8.04 and 1.6 2.32 to 4.0 4.59, respectively). 2. Blastocyst embryos (38.5%) showed higher pregnancy rate than morula (31.6%). 3. The pregnancyrates of cattle transferred with good and fair embryos were 33.3% and 40.4%, respectively. 4. The pregnancy rate when the donors exhibited estrus 12 hours earlier than the recipients (62.5%) was higher than when the donors and recipients exhibited estrus at the same time (33.3%) or when the donors exhibited estrus 12 hours later than the recipients (20.0%).

These studies were carried out to investigate the induction of superovulation, the synchroniration and the effect of the number of embryos transferred, the developmentai stage of embryos and the donor-recipient synchrony on pregnancy rate in cattle. The results obtained in these studies were as follows: 1. The number of oorpus leuteum(CL) and the embryos reoovered were higher in FSH treated animals than in PMSG treated (9.4 vs 8.1 and 6.1 vs 4.5) and showed the same trend in recovery rate (64.9% vs 55.6%). 2. Two shots of cioprostenol at 11 days showed significantly high no. of animals in estrus in order of crossbred, Holstein and Korean native cattle. No significant differencies were noted in the seoond shots groups. And the interval to estrus and response were shorter and better in second shot group than that in first shot group. 3. The pregnancy rate when additional one embryo was transferred after Al at estrus (52.8%) was higher than the group transferred one (32.8%) or two (36.9%) embryos. 4. The pregnancy rate of embryo in morula stage was better than that in blasto cyst stage (39.3% vs 32.5%). 5. The pregnancy rate in the recipients exhibited estrus later than the donor (66.7%) was the higher than those exhibited estrus (40.3%) or exhibited estrus before the donor (37.5%).

This study aims to measure the emotional effects of pet plants, which have become popular in recent years. A questionnaire regarding perceptions of these indoor plants was administered to 78 university students. Thirty of these students took care of two species of pet plants for 90 days, and the emotional effects of this exercise were determined based on the type of words used in their daily records. The questionnaire results showed that the general recognition of emotional effects was low, though awareness of the term "pet plants" was high. However, after gardening for 90 days, participants began to consider their pet plants friends or family members, noting feelings of affection and sympathy in their daily writeups. These participants also experienced positive changes in their emotional well-being, including feelings of joy, hope, relaxation, confidence, and accomplishment. This study argues that pet plants can have positive effects on emotional stability and suggests that their adoption would be beneficial to humanity at large.

With rapid growth of the one-person households, this study focused on the psychological effects of pet plant gardening, one of the new trend of gardening among them. To clarify the psychological influences of pet plant gardening, 30 university students conducted gardening of pet plants in 90 days and the psychological effects was measured by the standardization personality inventory test before and after gardening. As results, pet plant gardening showed the effects of decreasing depression feeling of all participants, and the effects was significant in female than male. Pet plants gardening led to change females' personality more actively and more leadingly. Therefore, this data verified the positive effects in psychologically and induced personality showed pet plants gardening induced the positive effects the aspects of psychology and personality.
