고성능섬유복합시멘트 복합체 및 FRP 외피보강 실험체의 방폭성능을 평가하기 위해 1900×1900× 105mm 크기의 이방향 슬래브를 대상으로 옥외 폭발실험을 수행하였다. 설계압축강도, 섬유혼입률, 섬 유종류를 변수로 고려하여 이방향 슬래브 실험체를 제작하였다. 폭발의 종류는 폭압측정과, 구조부재 의 구조적 방폭성능의 평가를 위해 원거리 폭발(Far Field Blast)로 선정되었다. 이에 TNT 장약량 100kg, 이격거리 5m의 폭발 실험 조건이 고려되었다. 또한 구조부재의 방폭성능 평가를 위해 가속도 계, 스트레인게이지, 동적변위계, 압력계가 실험체에 부착되었으며 초고속카메라를 활용해 폭발로 인한 실험체의 거동을 촬영하였다. 실험의 결과로 보통콘크리트 변수의 경우 가해진 폭압에 의해 실험체 중 앙부의 천공과 같은 극심한 손상이 발생하였다. 강섬유 보강 HPFRCC 실험체의 경우 실험체 하단부 의 국부적인 손상이 발생하였다. 강섬유의 가교효과로 인해 배면 박리는 발생하지 않았으며 약 80mm 의 영구 변형이 발생하였다. 또한 폭발하중으로 인해 높은 가속도가 측정되었으며 이러한 측정결과는 해당 실험체가 재료파괴로 인한 에너지 소산이 아닌 폭발하중에 직접적으로 저항한 것으로 판단된다. 유기섬유(Aramid) 보강 HPFRCC의 경우 폭발하중으로 인해 심각한 파괴양상이 나타났다. 이러한 파 괴양상은 취성적 특성을 가진 유기섬유가 폭발하중에 의해 파괴되어 충분한 인성을 나타내지 못한 것 으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 FRP 외피 보강 HPFRCC의 실험 결과로 중간 정도의 파괴가 발생하였으 나 배면 박리는 나타나지 않았다. 폭발 하중으로 인한 영구변형은 약 40mm 발생하였다. 강섬유 보강 HPFRCC의 결과와 달리 더 낮은 수준의 가속도가 측정되어 FRP 외피 보강 HPFRCC 실험체는 폭발 에너지를 소산시킨 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로 인명피해와 직접적인 연관이 있는 배면 박리의 발생 유무와 에너지 소산 및 저항, 잔류처짐의 측면에서 HPFRCC가 우수한 방폭 성능을 나타냈음을 실험 적으로 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 유도가열기법을 활용한 콘크리트 촉진 발열양생 기술의 효율성을 평가하기 위하여 철근 배근 및 전도체 변수에 따른 유도가열에 의한 콘크리트 온도향상 성능 및 압축강도를 평가하였 다. 먼저 철근 자체의 유도가열 성능을 평가한 결과, 주철근 및 나선철근 모두 유도가열 직후 10분 이 내에 목표온도인 70℃에 도달하여 충분한 가열성능을 나타내었다. 주요변수로 나선철근의 유무, 나선 철근의 간격, 피복두께, 거푸집 종류, 시험체 크기의 변수를 고려하여 15시간의 유도가열 발열양생 후 압축강도 평가를 실시하였다. 평가 결과, 철근을 포함한 경우 유도가열 발열양생 효율이 약 20~85% 만큼 증가하였다. 또한 총 6종(강섬유, 비정질강섬유, 전기로슬래그, 탄소섬유, 탄소나노튜브, 흑연나노 섬유)의 전도성 재료를 선정하여 재료 자체의 유도가열을 통해 발열성능을 평가하였다. 평가결과 강섬 유, 비정질강섬유, 전기로슬래그는 1~7분 사이에 가열 목표온도인 70℃에 근접하게 도달하여 유도가 열에 의한 콘크리트 발열성능을 향상 시킬 수 있는 혼입재료로 최종 선정하였다. 이상의 3가지 전도체 를 혼입하여 콘크리트를 타설한 뒤 15시간 유도가열 후의 압축강도를 평가한 결과, 강섬유 1%를 혼 입한 경우 발열양생을 실시하지 않은 상온양생에 비하여 강도가 186% 증가하였고, 잔골재의 50%를 전기로 슬래그로 치환한 경우 발열양생을 실시하지 않은 상온양생에 비하여 강도가 187% 상승하였다.

This study explores ways to enhance pre-service English teachers’ curriculum development competency through collaboration with in-service teachers. To this end, a course was designed to incorporate three key competencies of curriculum development (curriculum literacy, curriculum development competency, and curriculum evaluation competency) while adopting task-based language teaching and collaboration with inservice teachers as teaching methods. The designed course was implemented in a university for validation and revision. Ten pre-service English teachers participated in the course, where they developed English curricula in response to requests from three in-service middle school English teachers. A questionnaire survey conducted at the end of the semester with both pre-service and in-service teachers revealed that the proposed course model adequately worked to improve the three key competencies of English curriculum development among pre-service teachers. Further, collaboration with inservice teachers was found to enhance pre-service teachers’ responsibility and active engagement in curriculum development, while also providing practical assistance and creative teaching ideas to in-service teachers.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to identify factors affecting the duration of traffic incidents in tunnel sections, as accidents in tunnels tend to cause more congestion than those on main roads. Survival analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze the determinants of incident clearance times. METHODS : Tunnel traffic accidents were categorized into tunnel access sections versus inner tunnel sections according to the point of occurrence. The factors affecting duration were compared between main road and tunnel locations. The Cox model was applied to quantify the effects of various factors on incident duration time by location. RESULTS : Key factors influencing mainline incident duration included collision type, driver behavior and gender, number of vehicles involved, number of accidents, and post-collision vehicle status. In tunnels, the primary factors identified were collision type, driver behavior, single vs multi-vehicle involvement, and vehicles stopping in the tunnel after collisions. Incidents lasted longest when vehicles stopped at tunnel entrances and exits. In addition, we hypothesize that incident duration in tunnels is longer than in main roads due to the reduced space for vehicle handling. CONCLUSIONS : These results can inform the development of future incident management strategies and congestion mitigation for tunnels and underpasses. The Cox model provided new insights into the determinants of incident duration times in constrained tunnel environments compared to open main roads.

본 연구에서는 단기간의 UV-A 조사가 시금치(Spinacia oleracea L.)의 생장과 생리활성물질에 미치는 영향을 평가 하였다. 시금치 묘는 200μmol·m-2·s-1 PPFD, white LED, 광 주기 12시간, 온도 20°C, 상대습도 70%, 이산화탄소 농도 500μmol·mol-1의 수직농장 모듈에서 재배되었다. 파종 후 5 주된 묘는 7일 동안 20W·m-2와 40W·m-2의 두 가지 에너지 수 준에서 연속적으로 UV-A(피크파장: 385nm) 조사한 후 생육 특성, 광합성 파라미터, 이미지 형광, 총 페놀 함량, 항산화도, 그리고 총 플라보노이드 함량을 분석하였다. 결과적으로, UV-A20W 처리는 시금치의 생체중과 건물중을 증가시켰다. 하지만, UV-A 처리구와 대조구 사이의 광합성 파라미터에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 광계Ⅱ의 최대양자수율 (Fv/Fm)은 모든 UV-A 처리에서 7일동안 지속적으로 감소했 다. 또한, UV-A20W 처리에서 식물체당 총 페놀 함량과 항산화 도는 처리 7일째 증대되었으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 처리 5일째부터 유의적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 UV-A LED 보광이 수직농장과 같은 폐쇄형 식물 생산 시스템에서 재배되는 시금치의 생장과 품질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사 한다.

배경/목적: ROS는 악성종양의 성장 및 공격과 관련이 있다. UDCA는 담도암 세포에서 진행과 전이에 밀접한 EGFR-MAPK 신 호 경 로 와 EMT를 억 제 한 다 . 이 연 구 는 UDCA가 담도암세포에서 ROS 생성 및 그에 관련된 바이오마커에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 방 법 : 인간 간외 담관암 세포주인 SNU-245세포를 배양하였다. 세포생존율은 MTT assays로, ROS는 세포 ROS assays kit로 측정하였다. Western blotting으로 다양한 표적 단백질의 발현 수준을 측정하였다. 특정 유전자의 억제를 위해 siRNA를 사용하였고, 특정 유전자의 과발현을 위해 shRNA를 사용하였다. 결과: UDCA는 담도암 세포에서 DCA에 의한 peroxide와 ROS가 생성되는 것을 억제하였으며, DCA로 발현이 증강된 STAT3, PRX2 및 SOD2를 억제하였고, IGF-1에 의해 발현이 증강된 NOX2 및 NOX4를 억제하였다. 또한, 담도암 세포에서 SiRNA를 이용한 STAT3 및 PRX2의 억제는 UDCA 처치와 상관없이 EGF에 의해 약화된 E-cadherin 발현을 복원하고 EGF에 의해 증가된 N-cadherin 발현을 억제하였는데, 이는 UDCA의 EMT 억제에 PRX2/STAT3가 상당한 역할을 하는 것을 의미한다. 덧붙여, UDCA는 담도암 세포에서 DCA에 의해 억제된 catalase의 발현을 복원하였다. 한편, ShRNA를 사용한 NOX4의 과발현의 유도는 UDCA의 항종양 효과를 상쇄하였다. 결론: UDCA는 담도암 세포에서 ROS 생성을 억제하고, ROS 제거를 향상시킴으로써, 결국 EMT와 관련된 STAT3 및 PRX2를 억제한다, 따라서, UDCA는 ROS 활성도 및 EMT의 억제를 통하여 담도암 세포의 성장 및 침습을 억제하는 데 기여한다.

본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 성격 5요인과 그릿이 학업소진에 미치는 영향요인을 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 S시 소재 E대학 간호학과에 재학 중인 간호대학생 285명으로 2023년 4월 11일부터 2023년 6월 13일까지 자가보고형 설문지를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 29.0 프로그램을 이용하여 descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, multiple regression 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 학업소진은 그릿(r=-.425, p<.001), 친화성 성격 (r=-.330, p<.001)과 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 반면, 신경증 성격과는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=.384, p<.001). 간호대학생의 학업소진에 두 가지 성격 요인(신경증, 친화성), 전공만족도, 그릿이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 간호대학생의 성격 5 요인을 활용하여 학업소진을 예방할 수 있는 상담법 개발과 전공만족도와 그릿을 높이고 학업소진을 감소시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.

매미나방(Lymantria dispar)은 나비목(Lepidoptera) 독나방과(Lymantriidae)에 속하는 해충으로 매미나방은 한국, 일본, 시베리아, 유 럽, 북아메리카 등에 분포하며, 주로 배나무, 사과나무, 블루베리 등의 식물을 가해하는 광식성 해충이다. 매미나방은 수목해충으로 관리되어 왔 으나 최근 산림 발생지 인접 농경지로 유입 빈도가 높아지면서 방제 대책이 수립되지 않은 농작물에 피해가 심하다. 본 연구는 매미나방(L. dispar)의 방제기술의 일환으로 매미나방 발육에 미치는 온도의 영향을 알아보기 위해 2021년 전라남도 장흥군 황금측백나무에서 채집한 알집을 이용해 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33°C (14L:10D, 상대습도 60±5%) 항온조건에서 온도별, 발육단계별 발육기간을 조사하였다. 매미나방 유충의 발 육속도는 온도가 높을수록 빨라졌으나, 매미나방 유충의 생존율이 33°C에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 발육적온은 30°C였으며, 30°C에서 총 발육기간은 암컷 43.8일, 수컷 42.5일 소요되었다. 암컷과 수컷 발육영점온도는 각각 13.1°C, 12.5°C, 유효적산온도는 각각 641.1 DD, 657.8 DD였다.

PURPOSES : This study is to analyze the reduction effect on road pavement damage from the installation of weigh-in-motion systems used for overloaded vehicle enforcement, from the perspective of traffic assignment. METHODS : Fixed-demand multi-class traffic assignment was conducted by VISUM, a macroscopic traffic simulation software. We considered three vehicle classes and calculated the traffic load for each road link using the ESAL(Equivalent Single Wheel Load) factor, as proposed by ASHTTO(American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials). We set up scenarios with weigh-in-motion installations in certain sections and observed how the traffic load changed before and after the installation of weigh-in-motion for each scenario. RESULTS : Three main trends were observed. Firstly, at points where weigh-in-motion systems were installed, traffic load significantly decreased even with the influx of cars and trucks following the restriction of overloaded trucks, highlighting the significant influence of overweight vehicles on the traffic load. Secondly, even when overweight vehicles detoured, there was no significant change in the overall network's traffic load. Lastly, the detour of overweight vehicles led to an increase in the total driving distance and time for all vehicles. CONCLUSIONS : Installing weigh-in-motion systems in sections with a lower structure number, which indicates thinner road pavement, can prevent damage in those specific areas without affecting the entire road network.

In this study, we examined the effects of gamma irradiation dosage on the mycelial growth of Auricularia auriculajudae and performed analyses of fruiting body yield, growth characteristics, taste, fragrance, and mineral composition. Assessments of mycelial growth in response to gamma irradiation at different intensities revealed an enhancement in the growth of fungi exposed to irradiation at 200 Gy. Fruiting body yield was also highest at 200 Gy, followed by 800 Gy and the control group. On the basis of these observations, we subsequently applied gamma ray doses of 200 and 800 Gy to examine the effects of irradiation on fungal quality characteristics. In terms of the taste of fruiting bodies, we detected no significant differences among the control, 200 Gy, and 800 Gy groups. Contrastingly, with respect to fragrance, we found that fungi treated with 200 Gy were characterized by a pattern that differed from those of the control and other treatment groups. Furthermore, whereas we detected no significant difference among treatments with respect total dietary fiber content, calcium content was found to be higher in the treatment groups compared with the control group, with the highest content being measured in fungi exposed to 800 Gy irradiation. Copper content was confirmed to be higher in the control group, whereas there were no significant differences between the fungi irradiated with 200 and 800 Gy. Contrastingly, the highest levels of zinc were detected in response to 200 Gy irradiation, followed by 800 Gy. Collectively, our findings thus indicate that gamma irradiation can contribute to promoting increases in the fruiting body yield and mineral contents of mushrooms.

As technologies have been more quickly developed in this 4th Industry Revolution era, their application to defense industry has been also growing. With these much advanced technologies, we attempt to use Manned-Unmanned Teaming systems in various military operations. In this study, we consider the Location-Routing Problem for reconnaissance surveillance missions of the maritime manned-unmanned surface vehicles. As a solution technique, the two-phase method is presented. In the first location phase, the p-median problem is solved to determine which nodes are used as the seeds for the manned vehicles using Lagrangian relaxation with the subgradient method. In the second routing phase, using the results obtained from the location phase, the Vehicle Routing Problems are solved to determine the search routes of the unmanned vehicles by applying the Location Based Heuristic. For three network data sets, computational experiments are conducted to show the performance of the proposed two-phase method.

Effects-Based Operations (EBO) refers to a process for achieving strategic goals by focusing on effects rather than attrition-based destruction. For a successful implementation of EBO, identifying key nodes in an adversary network is crucial in the process of EBO. In this study, we suggest a network-based approach that combines network centrality and optimization to select the most influential nodes. First, we analyze the adversary’s network structure to identify the node influence using degree and betweenness centrality. Degree centrality refers to the extent of direct links of a node to other nodes, and betweenness centrality refers to the extent to which a node lies between the paths connecting other nodes of a network together. Based on the centrality results, we then suggest an optimization model in which we minimize the sum of the main effects of the adversary by identifying the most influential nodes under the dynamic nature of the adversary network structure. Our results show that key node identification based on our optimization model outperforms simple centrality-based node identification in terms of decreasing the entire network value. We expect that these results can provide insight not only to military field for selecting key targets, but also to other multidisciplinary areas in identifying key nodes when they are interacting to each other in a network.

In general, the design response spectrum in seismic design codes is based on the mean-plus-one-standard deviation response spectrum to secure high safety. In this study, response spectrum analysis was performed using seismic wave records adopted in domestic horizontal design spectrum development studies, while three response spectra were calculated by combining the mean and standard deviation of the spectra. Seismic wave spectral matching generated seismic wave sets matching each response spectrum. Then, seismic fragility was performed by setting three damage levels using a single-degree-of-freedom system. A correlation analysis was performed using a comparative analysis of the change in the response spectrum and the seismic fragility concerning the three response spectra. Finally, in the case of the response spectrum considering the mean and standard deviation, like the design response spectrum, the earthquake load was relatively high, indicating that conservative design or high safety can be secured.

The effects of exogenous sodium nitroprusside (SNP, nitric oxide donor) on the growth, yield, photosynthetic characteristics, and antioxidant enzyme activity of kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L. subsp. pekinensis (Lour.) Hanelt) was studied under the low temperature conditions. Kimchi cabbages were treated with SNP of three concentrations (7.5, 15, 30 mg·L-1) for three times at four-day intervals and exposed to low temperature (16/7°C) stress for seven days. SNP treatment induced increases of net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), intracellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and transpiration rate (Tr) under the stress condition with the highest level after the third treatment. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and H2O2 were significantly lower in the treatment of SNP compared to the non-treated control. The activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), increased in treated plants by up to 38, 187, 24 and 175%, respectively compared to the non-treated control. SNP-treated and untreated plants had similar growth characteristics. Compared to the control group, SNP-treatment increased fresh weight and leaf area by 5%. Overall, our findings suggest that the application of sodium nitroprusside to the leaves contributes to reducing physiological damage and enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes, thereby improving low temperature stress tolerance in kimchi cabbage.

Ultra-violet (UV) light is one of abiotic stress factors and causes oxidative stress in plants, but a suitable level of UV radiation can be used to enhance the phytochemical content of plants. The accumulation of antioxidant phenolic compounds in UV-exposed plants may vary depending on the conditions of plant (species, cultivar, age, etc.) and UV (wavelength, energy, irradiation period, etc.). To date, however, little research has been conducted on how leaf thickness affects the pattern of phytochemical accumulation. In this study, we conducted an experiment to find out how the antioxidant phenolic content of kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) leaves with different thicknesses react to UV-A light. Kale seedlings were grown in a controlled growth chamber for four weeks under the following conditions: 20°C temperature, 60% relative humidity, 12-hour photoperiod, light source (fluorescent lamp), and photosynthetic photon flux density of 121±10 μmol m-2 s-1. The kale plants were then transferred to two chambers with different CO2 concentrations (382±3.2 and 1,027±11.7 μmol mol-1), and grown for 10 days. After then, each group of kale plants were subjected to UV-A LED (275+285 nm at peak wavelength) light of 25.4 W m-2 for 5 days. As a result, when kale plants with thickened leaves from treatment with high CO2 were exposed to UV-A, they had lower UV sensitivity than thinner leaves. The Fv/Fm (maximum quantum yield on photosystem II) in the leaves of kale exposed to UV-A in a low-concentration CO2 environment decreased abruptly and significantly immediately after UV treatment, but not in kale leaves exposed to UV-A in a high-concentration CO2 environment. The accumulation pattern of total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity and individual phenolic compounds varied according to leaf thickness. In conclusion, this experiment suggests that the UV intensity should vary based on the leaf thickness (age etc.) during UV treatment for phytochemical enhancement.
