The purpose of this study is to identify psychological anxiety factors related to firefighters' field activities and suggest improvement measures. To investigate the actual status of psychological anxiety factors, a survey was conducted on approximately 3,500 current firefighters, and the responses of 505 people who participated in the survey were analyzed. As a research method, frequency analysis and cross-analysis were conducted according to the general characteristics of the participants to determine the actual level of psychological anxiety in each work field and the results were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was statistically confirmed that firefighters feel a lot of psychological burden due to legal and institutional inadequacies during dispatch, return, or field activities, and frequent friction with civil servants is also a major cause of psychological anxiety. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it is proposed to establish a permanent legal support team in each city and province, designate and operate a hospital dedicated to psychological treatment, and establish a special provision for traffic accidents during the return of fire trucks so that firefighters can concentrate on their duties without psychological anxiety. do.

Deep geologic repositories (DGR) are designed to store spent nuclear fuel and to isolate it from the biosphere for an extended period of time as long as millions of years. The long-term performance of the DGR replies on the performance of the natural geologic barriers after the end of the lifetime for the engineered barrier systems. Typically, multiple analytical and numerical models are used to analyze and ensure the safety of the repositories along both engineered and natural barrier systems. Despite the immense advancement in computing power and modeling techniques over the last few decades, a series of models and their linkage often require many simplifying assumptions in this safety assessment. The degree of the reliability and confidence of the safety analysis is thus highly dependent on the validity of those tools used. Considering the significance of the DGR performance and public attention, the highest level of quality control is necessary for the models employed in the assessment. The performance of the ultimate long-term geologic barrier is determined by the expected travel time of the radioactive species of interest, the level of their dilution or radioactivity at compliance areas, and the uncertainty associated with them. As the species of interest can be carried away from the repository location by groundwater flow, the travel time is determined by groundwater velocity along the flow path from source to biosphere while the dilution is a function of the decay and production rates as well as the diffusion and dispersion. Due to the time scale and the complexity of the physicochemical processes and geologic media involved, the models used for safety evaluation will need to become more and more comprehensive, robust, and efficient which is difficult to achieve in principle. They will also need to be transparent and flexible to satisfy the regulatory quality control requirements. This study thus attempts to develop an accessible, transparent, and extensible integrated hydrologic models (IHM) which can be widely accepted by the regulators as well as scientific community and thus suitable for current and future safety assessment of the DGR systems. The IHM can be considered as a tool and a framework at the same time when it is designed to easily accommodate additional processes and requirements for the future as it is necessary. The IHM is capable of handling the atmospheric, land surface, and subsurface processes for simultaneously analyzing the regional groundwater driving force and deep subsurface flow, and repository scale safety features, providing an ultimate basis for seamless safety assessment in the DGR program. The applicability of the IHM to the DGR safety assessment is demonstrated using simple illustrative examples.

Bovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) are DNA oncogenic viruses that belong to the Papillomavirus genus. The purposes of the present study were to histopathologically diagnose skin warts on Korean native cattle from Jeju Island and to detect the presence of BPVs from tissue samples of the skin warts, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. The sites of 10 skin wart involvement were the head (40%: 10% were in both the head and neck), shoulder (30%), neck (20%), and tail (20%), including the perineum. All skin warts were confirmed as fibropapillomas, as characterized by the abundant proliferating fibrous tissue in the dermis and increased epithelial covering of variable thickness. According to the PCR analysis, five out of 10 (50%) cattle were positive for BPV-1, and six (60%) cattle were positive for BPV-2. Two cattle were positive for both BPV-1 and BPV-2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of BPV-1 and BPV-2 infections of skin warts from Korean native cattle in Korea.

The biodiesel production characteristics in a pulsed-corona plasma reactor has been investigated through parametric tests. Transesterification of rapeseed oil together with camelina oil was done with the change of such variables as voltage of power, molar ratio, KOH catalyst and temperature. The energetic electrons emitted from pulsed-corona plasma has contributed to the enhancement of yield on rapeseed oil in short time (15 min). The higher yield on camelina oil was observed in 5 min. The optimal parameters were shown as the voltage of 23 kV, the molar ratio of 5/1, the content of KOH catalyst of 0.6 wt% and the temperature of 28℃ under the rotating rate of spark gap of 900 rpm.

The consolidation results of fine tungsten powders, W-Cu composite and W/Cu FGM by using a novel method combining resistance sintering with ultra high pressure have been reviewed. The densification effects of the consolidation parameters, including pressure, input power and sintering time, have been investigated. The sintering mechanism of this method was quite different from other sintering methods. Particle rearrangement, sliding, distortion and crushing due to the ultra high pressure are the dominant mehanisms at the initial stage, then the dominant sintering mechanisms are transient arc-fused processes controlled by the input power.

The analysis of reaction kinetics provided that the reaction order was the 1st of triglyceride and the rate constant was 0.067 min-1. The transesterification of camelina oil using 0.6 wt% mixed catalyst which consists of 40 v/v% of potassium hydroxide (1 wt%) and 60 v/v% of tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide (0.8 wt%), was carried out at 65℃ on the tubular reactor packed with static mixer. The conversion was shown to be 95.5% at the 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to oil, flow rate of feed of 3.0 mL/min and 24 of element of static mixer. The volume of washing water emitted by 0.6 wt% mixed catalyst was the half of the volume emitted by 1 wt% potassium hydroxide.

This study was conducted to compare volumes estimated from two taper functions and observed volumes of Chamaecyparis obtusa trees to evaluate accuracy and precision of centroid method. Centroid volume estimates were also compared with volume estimates from existing Forest Resources Evaluation and Prediction Program. The results of this study showed that Gregoire’s simple taper function produced unbiased volume estimates while the others were biased. Volume estimates from the Forest Resources Evaluation and Prediction Program were also biased when applied in the Jangseong National Forest regions. These results suggested that the centroid method could produce reliable stem volumes of trees when no other reliable stem volume equations exist.

This study was performed to find out the optimal larval stage among trochophore, D-shaped and umbo stage larvae and the desirable protective additive such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and trehalose with cryoprotectant for cryopreservation of surf clam, Spisula sachalinensis larvae. Dimethyl sulfoxide and ethylene glycol were used as cryoprotectant and each cryoprotectant was made to 2.0 M with previous protective additives. The larvae were immersed in the preparations waited for 15 minutes to reach equilibration, and then frozen in a program freezer (-35) and liquid nitrogen (-196). The freezing rate of 1.0 /min. was used for cryopreservation of trochophores before seeding temperature (-12). The survival rate of frozen-thawed larvae increased as larval developing and that of umbo stage larvae was the highest as 96.1 1.0%. The presence of lower concentration of disaccharides as sucrose or trehalose significantly enhanced survival rate when mixed with cryoprotectants (P<0.05). The results of our study indicate that desirable developmental stages of larvae and protective additive for cryopreservation are the umbo stage larvae and 0.2 M sucrose, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate cryopreservation of pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii larvae. Four cooling rates (-0.25, -0.5, -0.75 and -1.0/min.) were used to examine a proper cooling rate during cryopreservation of trochophores before seeding temperature (-12). Seven developmental stages (early and late trochophores, early and late D-shaped larvae and early, middle and late umbo stage larvae) and different sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose) were used to investigate optimal larval stage and effective sugar in cryopreservation of larvae. The survival rates of frozen-thawed trochophores increased at cooling rate of -1.0/min. As larval developing, survival rate of frozen-thawed larvae increased, except umbo stage larvae, and especially late D-shaped larvae highly survived as 91%. Addition of sugar revealed positive effect on cryopreservation in this experiment and 0.2 M glucose and sucrose mixed with 2.0 M dimethyl sulfoxide significantly enhanced survival rate of larvae (P<0.05). The results of our study indicate that desirable cooling rate, developmental stages of larvae and effective sugar far cryopreservation of pearl oyster, P. fucata martensii larvae are -1/min, late D-shaped larvae and 0.2 M glucose and sucrose, respectively.

Doubled haploid system is a very effective tool which has been widely applied in wheat breeding programmes. Wide-hybridization, wheat X maize cross, is used for the production of wheat doubled haploids (DH). The introduction of doubled haploid (DH) approach into breeding programs has reduced the times and population sizes required for the production of pure lines. We carried out the experiment for development on effective method of producing haploid in wheat. Emasculated spikelets of wheat were pollinated with maize pollen and cultured in the solution containing 40 g/ℓ sucrose and 2,4-D, ABA and GA3 24 h after pollination, and then incubated until embryo rescue. twelve to fourteen days after pollination, the embryos are excised and cultured in half-strength MS basal medium supplemented with 20 g/ℓ sucrose and 1 ㎎/ℓ NAA. The type of plant growth regulators was found to be most significant in production of haploid plants. The application of synthetic auxins to pollinated florets, stimulates haploid embryo development to a stage where the embryos can be rescued onto nutrient media. The percentage of embryos formed was significantly affected by 100 ㎎/ℓ 2,4-D plus 50 ㎎/ℓ BAP and 100 ㎎/ℓ 2,4-D plus 50 ㎎/ℓ GA3. There was varied efficiency in embryo formation from 5.7 to 53%.
