24-hour recall is the dietary assessment method most frequently used to evaluate dietary intake; however, accuracy is an issue when using this method, especially in large-scale studies. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of dietary intake estimation using one serving size. Estimates of energy and nutrients taken in over a 24-hr period based on actual intake amount (24HRAI) and based on estimates of one serving size (24HRSS) were compared. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and a cross-classification method. In male subjects, intake levels of energy, fat, vitamin C, vitamin B1, Zn, and total food measured using 24HRAI were significantly higher than those measured using 24HRSS. In female subjects, intake of carbohydrates, fiber, fat, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B complexes, various minerals, and total food measured using 24HRAI were significantly lower than those measured using 24HRSS. Energy-adjusted Pearson’s correlation coefficients revealed that intake of all nutrients showed a significant positive relationship between the two measurement methods in both males and females. Cross-classification analysis revealed that 50.5~67.6% of women and 40.3~71% of men were classified in the same quartile of intake of each nutrient when comparing data from 24HRAI and 24HRSS. We conclude that using one serving size in 24-hr recall analysis was valid and therefore may be used in studies to assess food consumption in the general adult population. Also, this method can be used to classify energy and nutrient intake into quartile, which is useful in examining the association between diet and chronic diseases.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to develop a new highway capacity estimation method and provide comparative results among traditional capacity estimation methods and the recommended values in the latest version of KHCM. METHODS : The limitations of the existing methods, such as inconsistency and underestimation of the capacity value, are summarized through an extensive literature review. To overcome these limitations, a new method is introduced by adopting a definition of capacity and traffic flow characteristics at or near breakdown points. This method can produce the capacity value by searching a point corresponding to the maximum traffic flow through analysis of gradient changes (point of inflection) of the traffic flow and speed distribution. Comparative results of capacity values from each method are also presented to validate the new method by using data collected from detectors on freeways. RESULTS: From the analysis results, it is shown that a consistent capacity value can be estimated by applying the new method. In addition, the resulting capacity values are 3%-4% higher than those recommended in KHCM. CONCLUSIONS : The capacity values listed in the current KHCM tend to produce underestimated results. The new method presented in this paper may be included in the future edition of KHCM.

The torque shear high strength bolt is clamped normally at the break of pin-tail specified. However, the clamping forces on slip critical connections do not often meet the required tension, as it considerably fluctuates due to torque coefficient dependent on lubricant affected temperature. In this study, the clamping tests of torque shear bolts were conducted independently at indoor conditions and at construction site conditions. During last six years, temperature of candidated site conditions was recorded from -11℃ to 34℃. The indoor temperature condition was ranged from -1 0℃ to 50℃ at each 10℃ interval. As for site conditions, the clamping force was reached in the range from 159 to 210 kN and the torque value was from 405 to 556 Nㆍm. The range of torque coefficient at indoor conditions was analyzed from 0.126 to 0.158 while tensions were indicated from 179 to 192 kN. The torque coefficient at site conditions was ranged from 0.118 to 0.152. Based on this test, the variable trends of torque coefficient, tension subjected temperature can be taken by statistic regressive analysis. The variable of torque coefficient under the indoor conditions is 0.13%/℃ while it reaches 2.73%/℃ at actual site conditions. When the indoor trends and site conditions is combined, the modified variable of torque coefficient can be expected as 0.2% /℃. and the modified variable of tension can be determined as 0.18%/℃.

One of the most usual indicators to measure the performance of any inventory policy is the mean physical stock. In general, when estimating the mean physical stock in periodic review inventory systems, approximate approaches are often utilized by practitioners and researchers. The mean physical stock is generally calculated by a simple approximation. Still these simple methods are frequently used to analyze various single stockpoint and multi-echelon inventory systems. However, such a simple approximation can be very inaccurate. This is particularly true for low service levels. Even though exact methods to calculate the mean physical stock have been derived, they are available for specific cases only and computationally not very efficient, and therefore less useful in practice. In literature, approximate approaches, such as the simple, the linear, and Simpson approximations, were derived for the periodic review inventory systems that allow backorders. This paper modifies the approximate approaches for the lost sales case and evaluates the modified approximate approaches. Through computational experiments, average (and maximum) percentage deviations of mean physical stock between the exact method and the modified approximations are compared in the periodic review inventory system with lost sales. The same comparison between the modified and the original approximations are also conducted, in order to examine the performance of modified approximations. The results show that all modified approximations perform well for high service levels, but also that the performance may deteriorate fast with decreasing service level. The modified Simpson approximation is clearly better. In addition, the comparison between the modified and the original approximations in the periodic review inventory system with lost sales shows that the modified approximation outperforms the original approximation.

본 연구에서는 CCD 카메라가 장착된 Skyviewer로부터 촬영된 하늘 영상 자료를 이용하여 전운량을 산출하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 전운량 산출은 RGB 영상 내의 차폐 영역을 제거하고 GBR 빈도분포에 따른 영상을 분류하며, RBR 경계값을 결정하여 구름 화소를 분류한다. 분류된 구름 화소에서 태양광 영역을 제거한 후 유효성 검사를 통해 전운량을 산출하게 된다. 전운량 산출 알고리즘의 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 관측소와 가장 가까운 강원지방기상청의 목측 전운량 자료와 편이(Bias), 평균제곱근오차(RMSE), 상관계수를 분석하였다. 선정된 사례는 계절별 일 사례로 8시부터 17시까지의 정시 자료를 사용하였다. 분석 결과 Skyviewer로부터 산출된 전운량의 편이는 평균적으로 −0.8할의 차이를 보였으며, 평균제곱근오차는 1.6할로 전운량의 차이가 2할 내에서 나타나고 있었다. 또한, 두 관측소는 떨어진 거리의 차이가 있음(약 4 km)에도 불구하고 상관계수가 모든 사례에서 평균 0.91 이상으로 매우 높았다.

본 연구에서는 기존에 수행된 식품 중금속 모니터링 데이터를 이용하여 위해평가 및 모니터링을 수행할 때 요구되는 표본 수를 추정하고자 하였다. 중금속 3종 (카드뮴, 납 및 수은)과 17개의 식품을 대상으로 2,400개의 모니터링 데이터를 선정하여 연구에 활용하였다. 기존의 연구에서 수행된 모니터링 데이터의 표준편차와 오차범위 및 신뢰구간 값(95, 99% CI)을 활용하여 표본 수 추정공식에 따라 계산하였다. 표본 수 추정 공식에 따라 표본 크기를 추정한 결과, 95% 신뢰구간에서 카드뮴의 경우 계산된 표본의 크기는 최소 8개에서 최대 90개, 납의 경우 최소 7개에서 최대 1,062개, 수은의 경우 최소 11개에서 최대 238개로 각각 추정되었다. 식품 중 중금속 데이터의 표준편차와 오차범위가 표본 수를 추정하는데 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 모니터링 데이터의 특성을 반영하여 표본 크기를 추정하고자 하였으며, 이는 향후 위해평가 및 모니터링 수행 계획을 수립하기 위한 표본 수를 결정하는 기초연구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

구조물의 풍하중을 산정할 때의 설계풍속은 10분 평균풍속 또는 가스트풍속(3초평균풍속)을 적용한다. 건축물의 경우 10분 평균풍속 사용하고 있으나, 외장재 등과 같이 고진동수를 가지는 구조물의 경우에는 가스트풍속을 사용한다. 가스트풍속은 기상대 주변의 영향을 크게 받기 때문에, 일반적으로 10분 평균풍속에 돌풍율을 곱하여 산정하는 것이 편리하다. 본 연구는 최근 우리나라의 기상변화와 경제 발전에 따른 기상대 주변의 지표면상태의 변화를 반영하여 지표면조도에 알맞은 돌풍률을 평가한 것이다. 해석자료는 최근 40년간(1973년~2012년)의 전국 68개 기상관측소의 기상자료와 선행연구에서 제시한 지표면조도구분을 활용하였다. 돌풍률을 추 정할 때 평균풍속의 월최대값 범위는 16m/s~36m/s로 하였고, 16m/s 이하와 36m/s 이상에서는 돌풍률을 일정하게 하였다. 연구결과 지표면조도구분 B지역과 C지역의 돌풍률은 거의 유사하게 나타났고, 지표면조도구분 D지역은 다른 지역의 돌풍률과 차이를 보였다. 따라서 지표면조도구분 B, C지역의 돌풍률은 통합하여 평가하였고, 지표면조도구분 D지역만 따로 분류하여 돌풍률을 평가하여 제시하였다.

The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters of litter size and birth weight traits in three Korean black goat lines (Dangjin, Jangsoo and Tongyung) raised at the Animal Genetic Resources Station (AGRS) of the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS). A total of 1,861 records collected from 2001 to 2013 were used for analyses with single trait animal models. The average litter size of Dangjin line was the largest (1.72 kids) and the average birth weight of Jangsoo line was the heaviest (1.88 kg) among the three lines. Heritability estimates of litter size and birth weight were 0.07 and 0.26, respectively. The average breeding value of litter size and that of birth weight of Jangsoo line were the greatest of all three lines, 0.15 heads and 1.88 kg, respectively. The correlation coefficients between phenotypic values and breeding values of litter size in the lines of Dangjin, Jangsoo and Tongyung were 0.054, -0.031 and 0.131, respectively. The correlation coefficients between phenotypic values and breeding values of birth weight in the lines of Dangjin, Jangsoo and Tongyung were 0.570, 0.454 and 0.521, respectively. The phenotypic correlation and breeding value correlation between litter size and birth weight were 0.031 and 0.003 in Dangjin line, -0.038 and 0.094 in Jangsoo line, and 0.109 and 0.121 in Tongyung line, respectively. These data suggest that the genetic parameters estimated for litter size and birth weight in this study could be used to improve genetic potentials of Korean black goats in industrial level

UHPC(Ultra High Performance Concrete) is used widely with its remarkable performance, such as strength, ductility and durability. Since the fibers in the UHPC can control the tensile crack, the punching shear capacity of UHPC is higher than that of the conventional concrete. In this paper, seven slabs with different thickness and fiber volume ratio were tested. The ultimate punching shear strength was increased with the fiber volume ratio up to 1%. The shear capacity of specimens with the fiber content 1% and 1.5% do not have big differences. The thicker slab has higher punching shear strength and lower deformation capacity. The critical sections of punching shear failure were similar regardless of the fiber volume ratio, but it were larger in thicker slab.

PURPOSES : The Toll Collection System (TCS) operated by the Korea Expressway Corporation provides accurate traffic counts between tollgates within the expressway network under the closed-type toll collection system. However, although origin-destination (OD) matrices for a travel demand model can be constructed using these traffic counts, these matrices cannot be directly applied because it is technically difficult to determine appropriate passenger car equivalent (PCE) values for the vehicle types used in TCS. Therefore, this study was initiated to systematically determine the appropriate PCE values of TCS vehicle types for the travel demand model. METHODS: To search for the appropriate PCE values of TCS vehicle types, a traffic demand model based on TCS-based OD matrices and the expressway network was developed. Using the traffic demand model and a genetic algorithm, the appropriate PCE values were optimized through an approach that minimizes errors between actual link counts and estimated link volumes. RESULTS : As a result of the optimization, the optimal PCE values of TCS vehicle types 1 and 5 were determined to be 1 and 3.7, respectively. Those of TCS vehicle types 2 through 4 are found in the manual for the preliminary feasibility study. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the given vehicle delay functions and network properties (i.e., speeds and capacities), the travel demand model with the optimized PCE values produced a MAPE value of 37.7%, RMSE value of 17124.14, and correlation coefficient of 0.9506. Conclusively, the optimized PCE values were revealed to produce estimates of expressway link volumes sufficiently close to actual link counts.

According as radiation therapy technique develops, standardization of radiation therapy has been complicated by the plan QA(Quality Assurance). However, plan QA tools are two type, OADT (opposite accumulation dose tool) and 3DADT (3 dimensional accumulation dose tool). OADT is not applied to evaluation of beam path. Therefore tolerance error of beam path will establish measurement value at OADT. Plan is six beam path, five irradiation field at each beam path. And beam path error is 0 degree, 0.2 degree, 0.4 degree, 0.6 degree, 0.6 degree, 0.8 degree. Plan QA accomplishes at OADT, 3DADT. The more path error increases, the more plan QA error increases. Tolerance error of OADT path is 0.357 using tolerance error of conventional plan QA. Henceforth plan QA using OADT will include beam path error. In addition, It will increase reliability through precise and various plan technique.

Since the commercial operation of Kori Unit #1 nuclear power plant(NPP) started in 1978, 23 units at present are operating in Korea. Radioactive wastes will be steadily generated from these units and accumulated. In addition, the life-extension of NPPs, construction of new NPPs and decontamination and decommissioning research facilities will cause radioactive wastes to increase. Recently, Korea has revised the new classification criteria as was proposed by IAEA. According to the revised classification criteria, low-level, very-low-level and exempt waste are estimated to about 98% of total disposal amount. In this paper, current status of overseas cases and disposal method with new classification criteria are analyzed to propose the most reasonable method for estimating the amount of decommissioning waste when applying the new criteria.

Control charts are generally used for process control, but the role of traditional control charts have been limited in case of a non-contaminated process. Traditional x-s control chart has not been activated well for such a problem because of trying to control processes as center line and control limits changed by the contaminated value. This paper suggests modified x-s control chart based on robust estimation. In this paper, we consider the trimmed mean of the sample means and the trimmed mean of the sample standard deviations. By comparing with ARL value, the responding results are decided. The comparison resultant results of traditional control chart and modified control chart are contrasted.
