토양수분은 지면환경에서 일어나는 수문 순환을 이해하기 위한 중요한 기상인자일 뿐만 아니라 가뭄, 홍수, 산불 등과 같은 자연재해와 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 그러나 위성기반 토양수분 자료는 공간해상도가 매우 떨어져서 국지규모 분석에 직접적 으로 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서는 마이크로파 위성센서로부터 산출된 토양수분 자료가 가지는 공간해상도의 제약을 완화하기 위하여, 다양한 지면 변수와 공간통계법을 활용한 다운스케일링 기법을 도입하였다. 가장 정교한 다운스케일링 기법으로 평가되는 회귀크리깅을 이 연구를 통하여 토양수분 자료에 처음으로 적용하였다. 우리나라의 2013년과 2014년의 4월부터 10월까지 의 일자별 AMSR2(Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2) 공간해상도 10km와 25km의 토양수분 자료를 각각 2km와 4km로 다운스케일링한 결과, 고해상도로 다운스케일링된 자료와 저해상도 원자료와의 일관성이 우수하게 유지되어, 다운스케일링 전후의 공간패턴과 자료특성이 잘 보존되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 제시한 다운스케일링 기법은 토양수분뿐만 아니라 여러 기상요소에 적용될 수 있으며, 위성영상이나 모형자료의 공간해상도 한계를 극복하기 위한 방편이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

배경/목적: 바터팽대부에서 발생하는 선암종은 드문 질환으로 항암화학요법에 대한 연구가 부족하다. 본 연구에서 진 행성 바터팽대부 선암종 환자에서 XELOX 병합요법의 효능 및 안전성을 분석하고자 한다. 방법: 2006년 10월부터 2014년 1월까지 국립암센터에서 XELOX 병합요법으로 치료한 바터팽대부 선암종 환자 28명 을 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 모든 환자는 진단 당시 전이성 또는 재발한 바터팽대부 선암종 환자이었다. XELOX 병합요법은 외래에서 3주마다 다음과 같은 프로토콜에 따라 투여되었다. 치료 시작 1-14일에 하루 2회 카페시타빈 750 mg/m2를 경구 투여하고, 1일에 옥살리플라틴 130 mg/m2을 정맥 주사하였다. 결과: 24.6개월(범위 4.8-78개월)의 중앙 추적관찰 기간에서 중앙 무진행 생존 기간은 4.8개월(범위 0.7-18.0개월)이었고, 중앙 생존 기간은 11.9개월(범위 2.0–26.1개월)이었다. 1명의 환자(4%)가 완전 관해를 얻었고, 5명의 환자(18%)는 부분 관 해를 보였다. 무진행 생존 기간와 전체 생존 기간에서 항암화 학요법 반응 여부에 따른 차이는 없었다. 환자에서 가장 흔한 3등급의 이상 반응은 메스꺼움과 구토였다(10.7%). 치료와 관 련된 사망은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: XELOX 요법은 전이 혹은 재발 바터팽대부 선암종에서 비교적 낮은 독성의 발현과 중등도 효과를 보이는 치료법이다.

The Auxiliary Building Controlled Area Emergency Exhaust Air Cleaning Units (ACU) should be taken into account in the accident analysis that the entire gaseous radioactive material is exhausted to the environment through the auxiliary building without any filtration until the pressure reaches a negative pressure, approximately -0.25 inch, water gauge, when the ACU operation is credited in the analysis. Thus, this paper performed thermal-hydraulic analysis using GOTHIC program and showed the exhaust flow from each room in the auxiliary building controlled area to maintain room pressure not greater than (-) 0.25 inch water gauge.

Yang, Myung-hee & Kim, Bo-hyeon. 2017. “A Study on Korean Language Anxiety in the Classrooms of Advanced-level Korean Language Learners for Academic purposes: With Chinese Students in Graduate School in Korea”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 25(1). 119~141. The aim of this study is to examine the level of and the factors for Korean language anxiety in the classrooms of advanced-level Korean language learners for academic purposes. To this end, 60 Chinese students attending graduate school participated in the survey with the questionnaires: i.e., PRCA and FLCAS. The results suggest as follows. First, the Korean language anxiety level in the classrooms of the Chinese students is likely to be high. Also, it is not because of the participants’ traits, but because of the classroom environment. Second, there are 5 factors for Korean language anxiety in the classrooms; communication anxiety with native speakers, communication anxiety, fears of negative evaluation and failing in class, Korean proficiency anxiety, and negative attitudes toward class. Especially, the forth factor suggests that Korean learners needs an educational intervention of Korean, even after they enter undergraduate or graduate institutions. Third, there is a negative correlation between Korean language anxiety in the classroom and a residence period in Korea. That is, it is necessary to give them as many opportunities as possible for being exposed to Korean by a Korean educational intervention.

Many maritime accidents have been caused by human-error including such things as inadequate watch keeping and/or mistakes in ship handling. Also, new navigational equipment has been developed using Information Technology (IT) technology to provide various kinds of information for safe navigation. Despite these efforts, the reduction of maritime accidents has not occurred to the degree expected because, navigational equipment provides too much information, and this information is not well organized, such that users feel it to be complicated rather than helpful. In this point of view, the method of representation of navigational information is more important than the quantity of that information and research is required on the representation of information to make that information more easily understood and to allow decisions to be made correctly and promptly. In this paper, we adopt Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for the representation of information. AR is a 3D computer graphics technology that blends virtual reality and the real world. Recently, this technology has been widely applied in our daily lives because it can provide information more effectively to users. Therefore, we propose a new concept, a navigational system based on AR technology; we review experimental results from a ship-handling simulator and from an open sea test to verify the efficiency of the proposed system.

담체가 투여된 침지형 막결합 연속회분식 반응기(SMSBR)를 사용한 하수의 고도처리에서 담체가 여과성능과 제 거효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 담체는 반응기 부피 기준으로 10% 투여하였고, 담체와 분말활성탄을 첨가하지 않은 반 응기, 분말활성탄(10 g/L)만을 첨가한 반응기 및 담체와 분말활성탄을 모두 첨가한 반응기를 대조군으로 하였다. COD, T-N 및 T-P에 대한 제거효율은 담체 및 분말활성탄 첨가 유무에 따라 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 담체를 첨가하지 않은 경우 막간 차압(TMP)은 급격히 증가하였으나, 담체를 첨가한 경우에 막간차압은 매우 서서히 증가하였다. 담체를 투여한 SMSBR를 사 용하여 하수를 고도처리 할 때, 91일 이상의 운전기간 동안 막 세정 없이 운전이 가능하였다. 담체만을 투여한 경우, 운전 80 일 경과 이후의 COD, T-N 및 T-P 평균 제거율은 각각 95.0, 69.3% 및 51.4%이었다.

This study mainly evaluate the aseismic performance of the existing intake tower structure, which is one of the national important infra structures, on the basis of the refined finite element (FE) analysis results. The realistic evaluation for structural damage was conducted by using the nonlinear material model that takes tension and compression strength of deteriorate concrete into consideration during FE modeling. In addition, not only tension crack but also compression crushing was analyzed by utilizing field contour functions provided in the program during nonlinear dynamic analyses when peak ground acceleration (PGA) occurred. After observing FE analysis results, it can be shown that the damage of the intake tower is the most likely to occur at the water level and the base support.

Background: The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) scale were used to assess balance function in patients with balance problem. These multidimensional clinical balance scales provide information about potential risk factors for falls. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the predictive properties of the PBS and FAB scales relative to fall risk in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using a receiver operating characteristic analysis. Methods: In total, 49 children with CP (boy=21, girl=28) who were diagnosed with level 1 or 2 according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System participated in this study. The PBS and FAB were performed, and verified cut-off score, sensitivity, specificity, and the area of under the curve (AUC). Results: In this study, the PBS scale was as a predictive measure of fall risk, but the FAB was not significant in children with CP. A cut-off score of 45.5 points provided optimal sensitivity of .90 and specificity of .69 on the PBS, and a cut-off score of 21.5 points provided optimal sensitivity of .90 and specificity of .62 on the FAB. Both scales showed moderately accurate of AUC with .79 and .76, respectively. Conclusion: The PBS is a useful screening tool for predicting fall risk in children with cerebral palsy, and those who score 45.5 or lower indicate a high risk for falls and are in need of balance intervention.

This paper is about improvements to prevent the crack on welding parts of bleed air duct and vent tube in Advanced Trainer ECS owing to vibration. The configurations and the path of vent tube should be changed to prevent the crack. To assure the result of improvements, measured the status of each pressure condition attaching pressure censers on duct and vent tube. The result of life analysis shows that a crack does not happen on improved configuration while a crack initiates after 19th flight and thru cracking could happen after the 30th flight on previous configuration.

Uganda is a country blessed with the biggest number of mountain Gorillas in the whole world. These animals contribute at least 12% in revenue generation to the Tourism sector through tracking by both local and foreign tourists who pay for the tracking permits. However, Gorilla tracking is also a big challenge even in the presence of highly skilled and well-trained game rangers. Development and implementation of a secure Computer and Mobile based Gorilla Tracking (GT) system that uses GIS and GPS technologies would be the most ideal technology to use. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the critical factors that would affect the Behavioral Intention of the would-be users to successfully decide to use such GIS/GPS-GT system. We used the existing UTAUT model to integrate six factors such as Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Employee Peer Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Behavioral Intention and System Use. However, Infrastructure Availability and Non-Technical Facilitating Conditions were added to reflect Ugandan ICT context. This amended UTAUT model was used to carry out the survey. The questionnaire was emailed to 220 government employees in the fields of ICT, Tour and Travel, Environmental Groups officials and Farmers who garden near the game reserves. A total of 133 were obtained fully completed, whereas 127 were deemed usable thus yielding a response rate of 58%. The analysis results show that except for non-technical facilitating conditions, effort expectancy, peer influence, performance expectancy and infrastructure availability positively affects behavioral Intention to use GIS/GPS-GT. This indicates that people in Uganda don’t bother about regulations and rules in regard to using information system. As long as the system does what they want it to, anything else does not matter. As an employee in an organization is told to use a system by their supervisor, they have no objection to otherwise they risk losing their job. This implies that, supervisors have a great responsibility in the process of developing, implementing and using the system in Uganda.

췌장 신경내분비종양은 다양한 임상 양상과 예후를 보이는 암종으로 기본적으로 근치적 절제술이 우선시되나, 진행성 또는 전이성 종양의 경우 내과적 약물 치료, 색전술, 국소소작 치료, 동위원소 방사선표적치료 등의 다양한 추가 치료가 필 요하다. WHO 2010 grade 1/2의 췌장 신경내분비종양은 5FU, streptozocin, doxorubicin, etoposide, dacarbazine (DTIC), temozolomide 등의 다양한 항암제치료를 사용할 수 있지만, 항암화학요법은 반응 기간이 짧고 다양한 부작용이 발생하는 문제점이 있기 때문에, 최근 everolimus와 sunitinib 등의 분자 표적치료제가 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 또한 과거에는 호르 몬 과분비 증상 조절을 위해 사용되었던 소마토스타틴 유도 체가 항종양 효과를 보이는 것으로 증명되어, 추후 신경내분 비종양의 일차 치료제로 효과가 기대되고 있다. Grade 3의 췌장 신경내분비암종의 경우는 etoposide/cisplatin 항암화학요법이 주로 사용되고, 그 외 oxalipatin/capecitabine, temozolo-mide 등의 다양한 약물 치료가 시도되고 있다.
