The present study examined changes in surface shape and pore size observed in carbon black particles isothermally oxidized in an air atmosphere according to their burn-off ratio. Carbon black materials were fed into a horizontal tubular furnace in an air atmosphere when the inside temperature reached 600 °C. Subsequently, while changing the isothermal oxidation time, carbon black samples with different burn-off ratios were obtained, i.e., 10.5, 20.0, 30.4, 41.0, 49.9, 59.8, 71.1, and 81.0%. The scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that the observed carbon black particles were in the form of aggregated primary particles, and that there was no change in the particle size of these primary particles as the burn-off process proceeded. The latter observation supported the observation that pores were formed in the carbon black samples during the burn-off process. Notably, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis exhibited hysteresis curves, indicating that the corresponding adsorption isotherms were of IV-type. It was also found that the area of the hysteresis curves increased as the burn-off process proceeded. The specific surface area of the raw carbon black sample was 58.00 m2/g, while that of the 81.0% sample was about 4.1 times the figure at 240.27 m2/g. The total pore volume VT was 0.17 cm3/g for the raw sample, and it was much higher for the 81.0% sample at 0.58 cm3/g. The transmission electron microscope analysis showed that the raw carbon black particles had a spherical shape with a smooth surface, but inner pores were not observed. In the 49.9% sample, pores with a size of about 5 nm were observed inside carbon black particles. Notably, the size of the pores observed in the 81.0% sample was about 20 nm and the large pores were created by the collapsing and merging of the smaller pores by oxidation.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 각기 다른 조명에서 조절반응과 동공의 크기 측정을 동적으로 하고 그에 따른 조절과 동공의 동적 변화가 시기능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 연구대상은 안과적 수술 경력이 없는 17명(23.06±0.51세)을 대상으로 하였고 기본검사를 통해 나안시력이 0.8 이상인 인원을 대상자로 선정하였다. 3개의 조명 조건(명소시, 박명시, 암소시)에서 개방형 자동굴절검 사기(WAM-5500)를 통해 5 Hz로 조절 및 동공크기를 동적으로 측정하였으며 조절자극은 40 cm, 40~30 cm, 30 cm, 30∼20 cm, 20 cm에서 5초간 주었다. 더불어 원거리 시력 및 대비감도를 측정하였다. 결과 : 명소시 상태에서 조절반응량이 가장 높았으며 암소시 상태에서 조절반응량이 가장 낮게 나타났다(p ＜0.050). 동공의 크기 변화는 명소시 상태에서 동공의 크기가 가장 작게 측정되었고, 암소시 상태에서 동공 크기가 가장 크게 측정되었다(p＜0.050). 시력과 대비감도에서도 명소시 상태에서 모두 가장 높은 수치를 나타냈으며, 암소시 상태에서 시력과 대비감도 모두 가장 낮게 측정되었다(p＜0.050). 결론 : 본 연구의 결과로 다른 조명 조건하에서 조절자극이 변화될 때 조절반응량과 동공크기가 연속적으로 변화됨을 알 수 있었다. 낮은 조도에서 조절반응량은 조절자극보다 낮게 나타났고 시력 및 대비감도 모두 저하되었다. 이것은 정적인 상태에서도 조절의 지속적인 변화를 나타낸다. 그러므로 조절 또는 시기능 검사 시 동적 측정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper examined factors affecting Korean EFL learners’ word association types in their L2 mental lexicon. Specifically, vocabulary size of the learners was examined to see if it had any significant relationship with word association types. To this end, experiment procedures that included vocabulary size test and the lexical decision task as well as the word association task were conducted on 40 Korean EFL learners. Reaction time and accuracy of responding to word associations in the lexical decision task were measured. Subsequently, a correlation analysis was conducted with their vocabulary size. Additionally, learners’ word association types were analyzed based on the results of word association task. The results showed that Korean EFL learners’ vocabulary size had significant correlations with their accuracy in identifying syntagmatic and paradigmatic associations, but not in the phonological association. However, their accuracy was not correlated with reaction times. The results indicate that L2 learners’ mental lexicon is partially dependent on their vocabulary size of the target language, and it is variable depending on word association types.

최근 관광, 레저 수요의 증대로 해안 시설물(방파제)에서 낚시를 통해 여가를 즐기는 낚시객의 증대와 아울러 매년 해안 시설물인 소파블록(Tetrapod, TTP)에서의 낙상사고가 사회적 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙상사고가 주로 발생하는 소파블록을 안전망으로 덮어 낚시객의 낙상을 저감하는 안전사고 방지 시설물 개발의 기초 연구로서 적절한 그물코 크기를 제시하고자 한다. 이는 안전망 시설물의 규모 및 경제성을 고려할 때 반드시 선행되어야 할 부분이다. 본 연구에서 적용한 안전망의 그물코 크기 결정 방법은 낚시객들의 성별, 연령별 현황과 한국인의 인체치수조사 결과를 바탕으로 최적의 그물코 크기를 산정하고자 하였다. 그 최종 결과로서 안전망의 그물 코 크기는 최소 낚시객의 넙다리 둘레에서부터 최대 가슴둘레까지를 고려하여 18.6~27.0 cm의 범위로 산정되었다.

Outdoor air pollution with particulate matter has become more severe in Korea. Ambient particle concentration affects the indoor environment through various routes through building envelopes. In this study, we investigated particle exposure in residential buildings. Indoor and outdoor particle sources determined the indoor concentrations and particle exposure. This paper measured indoor particles and CO2 concentrations in two different apartment buildings and conducted the survey for 24 hours. The I/O ratio of the occupant awake period was higher than the asleep period. The I/O ratio in the awake period is 0.93-3.65, while the I/O ratio in the asleep period is 0.31- 0.76.Indoor peak events such as cooking or cleaning temporarily increase the I/O ratio and emit the indoor particle sources. Decay rate constant is 0.49-6.84 (1/h) in the indoor peak events during the operation of the exhaust hood and natural ventilation. The size range of 0.3-0.5 μm size is over half for the proportions of emitted particles (55.6%). Daily exposure is divided into indoor sources (45.2%) and outdoor sources (54.8%). We found the differences for the proportion of particle exposure. The ratio of daily exposure in particles for 0.3-0.5 μm size is 43.1 (indoor)/ 56.9 (outdoor) %. However, indoor sources are higher than outdoor sources for the ratio of daily exposure in particles for the 0.5-10.0 μm size.

It is known that the number of astronomers of a country registered to the International As- tronomical Union (IAU) is correlated with that country’s gross domestic product (GDP). However, the robustness of this relationship could be doubted, as the fraction of astronomers joining the IAU differs from country to country. Here we revisit this correlation by using more recent data, updated as of 2017. We find a similar correlation by using the total number of astronomers and astrophysicists with PhD degrees that are working in each country, instead of adopting the number of IAU members. We confirm the existence of the correlation. We also confirm the existence of two subgroups within this correlation. One group consists of advanced European countries having a long history of modern astronomy, while the other group consists of countries having experienced recent rapid economic development. In order to determine the cause for the correlation, we obtained the long-term variations of the number of as- tronomers, population, and the GDP for a number of countries. We find that the number of astronomers per capita for recently developing countries has increased more rapidly as GDP per capita increased, than that for fully developed countries. We collected demographic data of the Korean astronomical community and find that it has experienced recent rapid growth. From these findings we estimate the proper size of the Korean astronomical community by considering Korea economic power and population. The current number of PhD astronomers working in Korea is approximately 310, but it should be 550 in order for it to be comparable and competitive to the sizes of the Spanish, Canadian, and Japanese astronomical communities. If current trends continue, this number will be reached by 2030. In order to be comparable to the German, French, and Italian communities, there should be 800 PhD astronomers in Korea. We discuss ways to overcome the vulnerability of the Korean astronomical community, based on the statistics of national R&D expenditure structure in comparison with that of other major advanced countries.

This study demonstrates the effect of addition of Fe particles of different sizes on the critical properties of the superconductor MgB2. Bulk MgB2 is synthesized by ball milling Mg and B powders with Fe particles at 900oC. When Fe particles with size less than 10 μm are added in MgB2, they easily react with B and form the FeB phase, resulting in a reduction in the amount of the MgB2 phase and deterioration of the crystallinity. Accordingly, both the critical temperature and the critical current density are significantly reduced. On the other hand, when larger Fe particles are added, the Fe2B phase forms instead of FeB due to the lower reactivity of Fe toward B. Accordingly, negligible loss of B occurs, and the critical properties are found to be similar to those of the intact MgB2.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 근시안에서 동공 크기에 따른 굴절이상도의 차이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 백내장을 제외한 안질환 및 안 수술의 과거력이 없고, 근시안이며 최대 교정시력이 1.0 이상인 18~58 세의 성인 75명(75안)을 대상으로 하였다. i.profilerplus(Zeiss, Germany)를 이용하여 반암실 상태(5~50 lx)에서 동공 중심부 5 mm와 3 mm 영역에서 현성굴절검사와 각막 및 안구의 수차 검사를 실시하였다. Paired t-test를 이용하여 동공 크기에 따른 측정값 평균의 차이를 비교하였다. Spearman correlation test를 이용하여 동공 크 기에 따른 평균 구면렌즈 대응치의 차이와 고위수차의 상관성을 알아보았고, Multiple regression analysis를 시 행하여 동공 크기에 따른 평균 구면렌즈 대응치의 차이에 영향을 미치는 인자를 평가하였다. 결과 : 평균 구면렌즈 대응치는 5 mm와 3 mm에서 각각 -4.08±2.90 D와 -3.84±2.95 D로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 동공 크기에 따른 평균 구면렌즈 대응치의 차이(5 mm에서 평균 구면렌즈 대응치 -3 mm에서 평균 구면렌즈 대응치)와 안구의 고위수차는 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-0.676, p<0.001). 연령과 성별을 보정 한 후 동공 크기에 따른 평균 구면렌즈 대응치의 차이(≥0.25 D) 유무에는 구면수차(spherical aberration, Z40)와 수직난시수차(vertical astigmatism, Z4-2)가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 근시안에서는 눈의 고위수차와 저위수차의 상호작용으로 동공 크기에 따른 평균 구면렌즈 대응치의 차이가 생길 수 있으므로, 고위수차 검사 결과 값을 고려한 교정 도수를 통하여 안경 착용 시 만족도를 증가시켜야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Discarding juvenile fishes under girth 16 cm nearly equal to inner perimeter of codend mesh size collected by a cover net method in bottom trawl. The body size of the main five species (mackerel, horse mackerel, sea bream, melon seed and black throat seaperch) was measured for their body length, girth, weight, height and width and analyzed size selectivity. Frequency of penetrating fish as retention in a cover net was less than 40% of total number of juvenile discarding fish. The most of body length or girth of five species were significantly different between in the codend and in the cover net. The 50% selection girth in the cover net ranged 8-11 cm were smaller than those in the codend ranged 9-13 cm by the species respectively. The 50% selection body length was significantly related with the ratio of body height (H) by body width (W) both for in the codend or in the cover net while 50% selection girth was not significantly related with H/W. Furthermore 50% selection fish size by fish species between in the codend and in the cover net was not significantly different both in body length or girth. Therefore, the girth selectivity represented possibly as one unique value regarding fish body shape was considered as more useful method for multi-species catch in trawl.

This research was conducted to figure out the optimal size of the plug cell and seedling raising period in ‘Nongwoo’ and ‘Nonghyeop’ cultivars. In the first experiment on effect of plug cell size on growth of squash, seedlings were transplanted into hydroponic cultivation beds at different growing stages: Those in 32-cell trays with 3-4 true leaves at 25 days after sowing, those in 50-cell trays with 2 true leaves at 15 days after sowing, those in 105-cell trays just before a true leaf development, and those in 162-cell trays with only cotyledons at 8 days after sowing. In the second experiment on effect of seedling raising period on growth of squash, it was conducted to have different sowing dates. But the same transplanting date, based on the results of Experiment 1, and compared the differences in growth and fruit productivity as affected by plug cell size in the same way with experiment 1 including the cultivars and environmental conditions. After setting the transplanting date in advance, the number of days for sowing were calculated back for each treatment. In the first experiment, plant height was the greatest in 105-cell trays followed by 162, 50 and 32-cell trays in both cultivars. The best fruit quality was found in different treatments depending on the cultivars, although it was the lowest in 32-cell trays in both cultivars. The fruit quality was not significantly different among those from cell sizes. Therefore, when raising seedlings in 105-cell trays, the period of raising seedlings can be shortened as compared with the conventional 32-cell trays, and this change could reduce the workforce required for growing and transplanting seedlings. In the second experiment, after transplanting, shoot height and leaf width in the first measurement in both cultivars were greater in the 32-cell treatment. However, the last measurement after four weeks showed no significant difference in plant height, but significantly greatest leaf width in the smallest cell treatment, even as compared with that in 32-cell treatment. In case of ‘Nongwoo’, length and weight of the first harvested fruit showed the highest values in the treatment of 105-cell trays. In case of ‘Nonghyeop’ the 162-cell treatment along with the 105-cell treatment showed greatest length and weight of the first fruits. From these results, zucchini plug seedlings can be raised in plug trays with reduced cell sizes than the conventional 32-cell trays with improved fruit productivity.

In Brazil overwieght people represent 58,2%, in the USA 40% of women’s population. Plus size is a standard of USA fashion industry that applies to woman who wears more than 12, and in Brazil it begins on 44. They are frustrated, because retails provide few options and don’t understand them.
