This study aimed to identify changes in upper body measurements and body shape types among women over a 10-year period based on data from the 6th and 8th Size Korea Anthropometric Surveys. The study used regression analysis to explore the relationship between various dimensions, enabling the prediction of different upper body dimensions based on height and waist circumference. The sample consisted of 1,179 women in their 20s who participated in the 6th (2010) and 8th (2020) Size Korea Anthropometric Surveys, with 33 items analyzed. Initially, most items, except those related to height, exhibited larger values in the 8th Survey than in the 6th, suggesting a general increase in the upper body dimensions of females in their 20s over the 10-year period. Subsequent factor analysis revealed three factors crucial for determining the upper body shape of women in this age group. The body shapes were then categorized into four distinct clusters. Regression analysis indicated that both waist circumference and height significantly influence most of the measured items, with waist circumference having a more substantial impact in most models. Through this research, we aim to provide foundational data that reflects the evolving upper body shapes of women in their 20s to enhance clothing production and improve the sizing system.
Since the implementation of the Odor Prevention Act in 2005, the number of odor complaints has continuously increased due to the increased interest in the living environment. The current odor control means is a concentrationbased method for the source of odor. That is why there is a difference between the odor sensitivity and the result of the odor measurement in the odor damage area. The government is considering the introduction of the grid method, which is the odor management method of Germany, as the method of odor investigation in the odor damage area in the second comprehensive Odor Prevention Policy (2019-2028). The grid method is receptor-based odor measurement method that investigators use to judge odors in the field, task that expensive and requires substantial manpower and time. To study an odor measurement method that is suitable for domestic conditions, this study compared the correlation between results based on the odor frequency concept grid method around the livestock facilities and the result of ammonia concentration measured by passive air sampler. The correlation coefficient (R) that is between the frequency of odor per spot for the entire odor and the ammonia concentration that was measured by passive air sampler was 0.65 which is relatively good. Among the entire odor detected by the grid method, the correlation coefficient (R) between the odor frequency selected only for livestock odor and the ammonia concentration was significantly increased to 0.80. In addition, the correlation between odor exposure (ECPexist) and the ammonia concentration for the overall odor was 0.81 (linear) and 0.86 (index). If only the livestock odors were selected, the correlation between odor exposure and the ammonia concentration was very high at 0.96 (linear) and 0.95 (index).
HPGe 감마선 검출기를 이용하여 226Ra의 방사능을 직접 측정방법의 경우, 226Ra의 186.21 keV 감마선이 235U에서 방출되는 185.7 keV 감마선에 의한 간섭을 받기 때문에 피크면적의 계산에서 반드시 보정이 필요하다. 비록 분해능이 아주 우수한 HPGe 검출기를 사용한다 하더라도 그리고 분광시스템의 채널수를 최대로 늘린다고 할지라도 약 0.5 keV 차이의 두 감마선 피크를 분리해 내기란 현실적으로 어려운 일이다. 본 연구에서는 감마분광분석을 이용한 226Ra의 직접 측정방법에 대한 적용 성을 평가하기 위하여, 여러 가지 간섭피크 보정들을 이용한 직접 측정방법을 조사하였다. 이를 원료물질 및 공정부산물 시 료들에 적용함으로써 직접 측정방법들에서 그 측정 불확도, 직선성 및 적용범위 등을 평가하였다. 최종적으로 방사평형 관 계를 이용하여 226Ra의 방사능을 측정하는 간접 측정방법으로부터 얻은 214Pb 및 214Bi의 결과를 직접 측정방법의 결과와 비 교함으로써 최적의 측정방법을 유도하였다.
The purpose of this study is to estimate farmers’ willingness to accept (WTA) of direct payment for increasing public benefit using the contingent valuation method. The double-bounded dichotomous choice and the open-ended question were used to measure WTAs for basic form and optional form, respectively. The results show that WTA for basic form was inversely proportional to the acreage. WTAs were KRW 1,694,001 with 2 ha or less, KRW 1,617,789 with over 2 ha~6 ha, and KRW 1,562,977 with over 6 ha. The results also indicate that WTAs for optional form are similar to payments of agricultural environmental conservation program except physical (chemical) control of pests and weed. The results of this study can provide useful information for the establishment of direct payment for increasing public benefit.
In this study, to verify the validity of the dynamic responses of cables with the image processing technique, the lift-off test and vibration method (Vision-based System) were used to measure the cable tensions, and the results were compared and analyzed.
This study was performed to evaluate the cable tension of cable-stayed bridge by using vibration method and Lift-Off Test. As a result, cable tension by the vibration method and Lift-Off Test is most similar.
