In the case of the Pohang earthquake, which had a magnitude of 5.4 in 2017, geotechnical damages such as liquefaction and ground settlement occurred. The need for countermeasures has emerged, and experimental research in the Pohang area has continued. This study collected undisturbed samples from damaged fine-grained soil areas where ground settlement occurred in Pohang. Cyclic tri-axial tests for identifying the dynamic characteristics of soils were performed on the undisturbed samples, and the results were analyzed to determine the cause of ground settlement. As a result of the study, it was determined that in the case of fine-grained soils, ground settlement occurred because the seismic load as an external force was relatively more significant than the shear resistance of the very soft fine-grained soils, rather than due to an increase in excess pore water pressure.

This paper, based on vocabulary statistics from sample test paper, analyzed Business Chinese Test(BCT) content validity through comparing to Business often-used vocabulary in BCT syllabus. Vocabulary from the BCT sample test takes 16.1% of total 2455 from Business often-used vocabulary, which makes BCT sample test is a representative one. On the other hand Business vocabulary from Business often-used vocabulary covered 89.6％ of the sample test’s Business words. View of two aspects above, we draw the conclusion that Business Chinese Test has a comparatively high content validity.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an important public health problem. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary for successful patient outcomes. However, diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is difficult in cases with an unusual presentation and often requires a lung biopsy. The tuberculosis polymerase chain reaction results in tissue sample have potential for early diagnosis and treatment initiation for pulmonary tuberculosis. The relatively low sensitivity limit the use of this test in the detection of the pulmonary tuberculosis.

수공구조물의 설계 시 적절한 확률수문량을 추정하는 것은 매우 중요하며, 이러한 확률수문량을 추정하기 위해서는 표본으로서의 수문자료를 잘 표현할 수 있는 확률분포형을 찾아야 한다. 이와 같이 수문자료에 통계적 특성을 잘 표현할 수 있는 확률분포형을 찾기 위해서 적합도 검정을 실시하며, 적합도 검정 중 하나인 확률도시 상관계수 검정은 비교적 최근에 개발되어 그 사용법이 간단하며 높은 기각능력을 갖는다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 왜곡도 계수의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 도시위치공식을 이용하여 확률도시 상관계수 검정통계량을 유도하고 그 기각능력을 검토하였으며, 그 결과를 기존에 왜곡도 계수를 고려하지 않은 확률도시 상관계수 검정 방법과 비교해보았다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 유도된 확률도시 상관계수 검정에 의한 기각능력이 기존의 검정 방법들 보다 뛰어났으며, 특히 표본 크기가 작을수록, 발생 분포형이 형상 매개변수를 가질 경우 기각능력이 높게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다.
