PURPOSES: The purpose of this article is to investigate the predicted life of jointed concrete pavement (JCP) with two variables effecting on axle load spectra (ALS). The first variable is different data acquisition methods whether using high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM) or not and the other one is spectra distribution due to overweight enforcement on main-lane of expressway using HS-WIM. METHODS : Three sets of ALS had been collected i) ALS provided by Korea Pavement Research Program (KPRP), which had been obtained without using HS-WIM ii) ALS collected by HS-WIM before the enforcement at Kimcheon and Seonsan site iii) ALS collected after the enforcement at the same sites. And all ALS had been classified into twelve vehicle classes and four axle types to compare each other. Among the vehicle classes, class 6, 7, 10 and 12 were selected as the major target for comparing each ALS because these were considered as the primary trucks with a high rate of overweight loading. In order to analyze the performance of JCP based on pavement life, fatigue crack and International Roughness Index (IRI) were predicted using road pavement design program developed by KPRP and each ALS with same annual average daily traffic (AADT) was applied to design slab thickness. RESULTS: Comparison ALS of KPRP with those of HS-WIM shows that the ALS of KPRP has a low percentage of heavy spectra such as 6~9 tonnes for single axle, 18~21 tonnes for tandem axle and 27~30 tonnes for tridem axle than other two ALS of HS-WIM in most vehicle classes and axle types. It means that ALS of KPRP was underestimated. And after the enforcement, percentage of heavy spectra close to 10 tonnes per an axle are lowered than before the enforcement by the effect of overweight enforcement because the spectra are related to overweight regulation. Prediction results of pavement life for each ALS present that the ALS of HS-WIM collected before the enforcement makes the pavement life short more than others. On the other hand, the ALS of KPRP causes the longest life under same thickness of slab. Thus, it is possible that actual performance life of JCP under the traffic like ALS of HS-WIM could be short than predicted life if the pavement was designed based on ALS provided by KPRP. CONCLUSIONS : It is necessary to choose more reliable and practical ALS when designing JCP because ALS can be fairly affected by acquisition methods. In addition, it is important to extend performance life of the pavement in service by controlling traffic load such as overweight enforcement.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to evaluate the long-term performance of bonded concrete overlay in Korean Highway, and factors influencing the performances. METHODS: The evaluation for long-term performance of bonded concrete overlay is investigated based on the following study : i) The pavement distress of number of bonded concrete overlay sections in Korean highway are collected through field measurement, and PCI for each section is calculated. ii) Performance of LTPP data of bonded concrete overlay sections in U.S.A is analysed. And it is compared with bonded concrete overlay of Korean highway. iii) An analysis of the factors influencing to long-term performance of bonded concrete overlay is investigated. RESULTS: Performance analysis was confirmed that the overlay thickness was affecting significantly on the Bonded Concrete Overlay life. The comparison of LTPP data(U.S.A) and field measurement data(Korean) was showed. CONCLUSIONS : It was showed that the performance of Korean bonded concrete overlay is relatively lower than that of the bonded concrete overlay in U.S.A. The cause of lower performance can be explained by the lack of overlay thickness.

Three activated carbons (ACs) were prepared using NaOH (N) as an activating agent. Hy-drofluoricacid pre-leached rice husk was used as a precursor. After leaching, the precursor was washed with distilled water, dried, crushed, and then sieved; a size fraction of 0.3-0.5 mm was selected for carbonization in the absence of air at 600°C. The carbonization prod-uct (LC) was mixed with NaOH at ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 (wt of LC: wt of NaOH) and the produced ACs after activation at 800°C were designated NLC21, NLC31, and NLC41, respectively. Surface and textural properties were determined using nitrogen adsorption at -196°C, scanning electron microscopy images, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectra . These ACs were used as adsorbents for lead(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of the textural properties and the chemistry of the carbon surfaces were investigated and the impact of the operation conditions on the capacity for lead(II) sorption was also considered. Modificationof NLC41 with H2O2 and HNO3 gave two other adsorbents, HNLC41 and NNLC41 respectively. These two new samples exhibited the highest removal capacities for lead(II), i.e.117.5 and 128.2 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data fittedthe Langmuir isotherm and the kinetic adsorption followed pseudo-second order kinet-ics. The thermodynamic parameters have been determined and they indicated a spontaneous endothermic process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction and to provide the details and reference data. Five hollow reinforced concrete bridge columns were tested under a constant axial load and a cyclically reversed horizontal load. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced by using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. The adopted numerical method gives a realistic prediction of seismic performance throughout the loading cycles for several the investigated test specimens. This study documents the testing of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction and presents conclusions based on the experimental and analytical findings.

본 연구는 금강의 백제보에서 2012년 10월 중∙하순 발생된 어류폐사 전∙후의 어종 분포 및 길드분석을 통 한 어류 군집특성 비교 및 생태건강도 평가모델(IBI)을 이용하여 생태건강도 특성을 평가하였다. 백제보 상∙하류 구간에서 채집된 어류는 총 32종이었으며, 이들 중 한국고유종은 10종으로 35%를 차지하였다. 외래종은 3종 이었고, 폐사 후(Af) 0.4%까지 감소하였다. 우점종은 폐사 전(Bf) 끄리(13%), 폐사 후(Af-I, Af-II, Af-III) 몰개(17%)로 나타났다. 폐사 후(Af-I) 생체량은 폐사 전(Bf)과 비교해 1/10 수준으로 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 대형종인 붕어의 생체량은 어류폐사 이후 98%가 감소하였고 이후 시간이 경과하면서 폐사 전 수준으로 회복하였다. 중형종인 끄리는 지속적으로 감소하였고, 소형종인 밀어는 꾸준히 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 군집분석 결과에 따르면, 종 풍부도 지수, 종 균등도 지수, 종 다양도 지수는 폐사전(Bf)에 가장 높게 나타났고, 이후 감소하였다. 어류의 내성도 길드분석에 따르면, 내성종(TS)은 67%로 가장 높은 출현빈도를 나타냈고, 반면 민감종(SS)은 2%로 나타나 가장 낮은 출현빈도를 보여, 생태계가 악화 된 것을 나타냈다. 백제보에서 생태건강도 평가에 따르면, IBI 모델 값은 17.5로 보통상태로 진단되었다. 종합적으로, 어류폐사는 어류 종 성분, 어류군집 구조 및 트로픽 길드/ 내성도 길드 지표 특성에 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났으며, 점차 회복하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 백제보에서의 대규모 어류폐사를 예방하기 위해서는 지속적인 생태모니터링이 중요하다고 사료된다.

목적: 안축장에 따라 5가지 공식에 대한 예상굴절력과 수술 후 발생하는 실제굴절력 오차를 비교하여 굴절 오차의 경향 및 공식의 정확성을 확인하고자 하였다. 방법: 수술 전 접촉식 초음파 방식을 이용하여 안축장을 측정하였고, 안축장이 25 mm 이상인 환자 64명(91안)(Ⅰ군)과 안축장이 22 mm~25 mm인 환자 75명(112안)(Ⅱ군)으로 분류하였다. Ⅰ군의 경우 SRK/T 공식, Ⅱ군의 경우 SRK Ⅱ 공식으로 얻어진 인공수정체 도수를 이용하여 동일술자에 의해 백내장수술이 시행되었다. 수술 후 2개월째 SRK Ⅱ, Holladay 1, Binkhorst, Hoffer Q, SRK/T 5가지 공식으로 계산한 예상굴절력과 수술 후 실제굴절력의 오차를 이용하여 5가지 공식의 정확성을 분석하였다. 결과: 백내장수술을 받은 139명(203안) 대상자의 평균연령은 66.74±9.40세이었다. 실제오차와 절대오차는 전반적으로 SRK/T 공식의 정확성이 가장 높았고, SRK Ⅱ와 Binkhorst 공식의 정확성이 낮았다. Ⅰ군은 Ⅱ군에 비해 실제오차 및 절대오차가 크게 나타났다(p＜0.05). 실제오차와 안축장의 상관관계는 모든 공식에서 음의 상관성으로 원시화되는 경향을 보였다(r=-0.335, r=-0.495, r=-0.583, r=-0.498, r=-0.169). 결론: 안축장이 긴 경우 수술 후 원시화를 방지하기 위해서 수술 후 굴절력이 근시가 되도록 인공수정체 도수를 결정하는 것이 안전하고, SRK/T 공식을 고려하여 인공수정체 도수를 결정하는 것이 정확하며, SRK Ⅱ 공식을 고려할 경우 발생할 수 있는 굴절 오차를 참고하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

오염된 식품으로부터 바이러스를 효과적으로 검출하기 위해서는 식품에 부착된 바이러스를 효과적으로 elute시키는 것이 결정적으로 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 채소류에 공통적으로 적용할 수 있는 elution용액을 찾기 위해 폴리오 바이러스를 인위적으로 오염시킨 1가지 엽채류 (깻잎) 와 3가지 근채류 (당근, 양파, 무) 로부터 바이러스 회수율을 조사한 후, 최적의 바이러스 회수조건을 찾기 위해 기보고된 상추와 양배추의 회수율을 함께 분석하였다. 바이러스의 회수율은 식품의 matrix와 사용된 elution용액의 종류에 따라 차이가 컸으나 0.25M threonine / 0.3M NaCl (pH 9.5) 또는 0.25M glycine / 0.14M NaCl (pH 9.5)을 사용하였을 때 6가지 채소 중 5가지로부터 폴리오바이러스를 효과적으로 elute 할 수 있었다. 0.25M threonine / 0.3M NaCl (pH 9.5)를 노로바이러스 검출에 적용해 본 결과 근채류인 당근보다 엽채류인 깻잎으로부터 노로바이러스 GII를 더 잘 검출할 수 있었다. 이 같은 공통 elution용액을 사용할 경우 다양한 종류의 채소류에 오염된 노로바이러스를 포함한 소화기바이러스의 검출을 용이하게 해 줄 것이다.

We present near-infrared light curves of HBC 722 after its the September 2010 outburst. We have been monitoring its near-infrared light curves since November 2010 with Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute Infrared Camera System (KASINICS). HBC 722 exhibits large changes in optical and near-infrared brightness since its outburst. The J, H, and Ks light curves over about 2.5 years show that in all observed bands HBC 722 progressively became fainter until around April 2011, down to J ~10.7, H ~9.9, Ks ~9.3, but it is getting brighter again. Large scatter in the obtained light curve prevents us from finding whether there is any short timescale variation as reported in other optical observations. The near-infrared color of HBC 722 is becoming bluer since its outburst. The pre-outburst Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of HBC 722 is consistent with that of a slightly reddened Class II YSO with the exception of the extraordinary IR-excess in the far-infrared region.

We present a Microsoft Kinect-based hand recognition algorithm for an interactive image clipping system, which is widely used for environments such as public facilities and security environments where personal capturing devices including mobile phones are not allowed. User-friendly interface and accurate image capturing function are required for an image clipping system. We build the system by combining Microsoft Kinect, HD webcam and projector. The Kinect and webcam are used to capture the motions of users' hand and project is to display the user-selected area from the capturing material. Hand recognition is composed of three steps: (i) the region occupied by users' hand is extracted from an image, (ii) the fingertips of the extracted hand region are analyzed using k-curvature algorithm, and (iii) the height of the fingertip is estimated using the depth image from Kinect. The height of the fingertip informs whether users' finger touched the surface of the target. The region captured by the fingertip is clipped from the image and stored as the target image. The excellence of our hand recognition algorithm is proved through a user test.

Park Hyu-yong. 2013. Critical analysis of contrasting identities and styles of anti- and pro-multicultural discourses in Korea. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 21(3). In a multicultural society, social discourses composed of diverse voices, identities, and subjectivities collide and naturally create tensions. Adopting Rogers' (2004) methodological approach to critical discourse analysis and Castells' (2004) categorization of identity - legitimizing, project, and resistanceas a conceptual framework, this paper analyzes the discourses between antiand pro-multiculturalist sides in Korea. This paper surveys and analyzes the discourses hosted in cyber space, such as internet agora, portal site cafes, and personal blogs, which are the outlets of common people's voices and identities regarding multiculturalism. The concrete research questions of this paper are as follows: i) how are anti- and pro-multiculturalist voices and rationales categorized?; ii) what are the types of identities in anti- and pro-multiculturalist discourses, and how do they conflict; and iii) what styles do anti- and pro-multiculturalists bear in their own discourses? This paper argues that multicultural discourses in Korea are conjugated by diverse conflicting voices of people with different standpoints and beliefs on a multicultural society. This paper also stresses that the government or academia should monitor the voices, rationales, and attitudes of both sides to establish clear directions for future multicultural policies and legislation.

The purpose of this study was to verify the change in temperature·humidity·perspiration of fire suit when applying phased intensive exercises to fire fighter wearing fire suit. For this study, three male fire fighters took basic physical test and performed 10 minute phased intensive exercises -exercise intensity I (30%VO2max), exercise intensity II (45%VO2max), exercise intensity III (60%VO2max) based on maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max)- wearing fire suit (helmet, boots, air respirator) in treadmill and took a rest. The result of study shows that the temperature in the suit elevated during stabilization period after each exercise intensity, humidity elevated as exercise intensity increased, perspiration elevated as exercise intensity increased.

This is the second paper on a systematic search for variable stars in Cyg OB3 region. In this paper we present the observational properties of 46 variable stars found in the region. Among them, 27 are eclipsing binaries and others are semi-long periodic or slow irregular variables. Only 5 are known variables and the rest are newly discovered ones. We have obtained the period and amplitude of 20 eclipsing binaries using the phase fitting method, and present the light curves of 46 variable stars.

본 연구에서는 일본식으로 제조된 상업용 간장과 우리나 라 전통방식으로 제조된 재래식 간장으로부터 다당을 분리 하여 RAW 264.7 대식세포주를 이용한 면역 증진활성을 비교 하였다. 간장 유래 다당, CSP-0 및 KTSP-0는 RAW 264.7 세 포주에 대해 모든 농도에서 세포 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 또 한 재래식 간장 유래 다당인 KTSP-0는 상업용 간장 유래 다 당 CSP-0보다 대식세포에 의한 NO 및 ROS의 생산을 농도의 존적으로 증가시켰으며, KTSP-0를 1,000 ㎍/㎖ 처리하였을 시 가장 높은 생산능을 나타내었다. 간장 유래 다당의 RAW 264.7 세포로부터 면역반응에 중요한 cytokine인 IL-6와 TNF-α의 cytokine mRNA의 발현량과 해당 단백질의 생산을 각각 real-time PCR과 ELISA로 확인한 결과, CSP-0는 IL-6와 TNF- α mRNA의 발현 및 생산에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 않았지 만, KTSP-0는 농도의존적으로 IL-6와 TNF-α mRNA 발현 및 생산을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였으며, 1,000 ㎍/㎖ 처리 시 최대 활성을 보였다. 한편, 대식세포의 탐식작용에서 중요한 역할을 하는 Fc 수용체의 발현 증가를 RT-PCR로 확인한 결 과, CSP-0는 FcR I, II의 발현에 모두 영향을 미치지 않았지만, KTSP-0는 FcR I의 발현을 선택적으로 증가시킴이 확인되어 항원에 결합한 IgG와 강하게 결합하여 탐식작용을 촉진시킬 것으로 예상되었다. 본 연구를 통해 상업용 간장에서 분리한 다당, CSP-0보다 우리나라 전통 재래식 간장에서 분리한 다 당, KTSP-0가 대식세포를 활성화하여 높은 면역 증진 효과를 나타내는 것으로 결론 지을 수 있었다.

재래유자, 개량종 I(유자+탱자), 개량종 II(유자+유자) 세가 지 유자의 종류별, 부위별 이화학적인 특성과 유기산, 지방산 및 향기성분을 분석하였고, 총 페놀 화합물을 분석하는 실험 을 수행하였다. 중량은 재래종이, 껍질(혹은 껍질+씨)의 비율 은 개량종이 높았다. 단백질은 재래종보다 개량종Ⅰ의 껍질 에서 다소 높게 나타났고, 회분도 개량종의 껍질에서 다소 높 았다. Vit. C는 과즙의 경우 재래종에서 29.6 ㎎%로 껍질에서 는 개량종 I이 57.7 ㎎%로 다소 높았다. 유리당은 과당이 주 였는데, 개량종 I에서 가장 높은 함량을, 유기산은 구연산이 대부분을 차지하였는데, 개량종 II에서 가장 유기산 함량이 높았다. 유자의 지방산 조성은 리놀레인산이 가장 많았고, 과 피와 과즙에서 품종별 특징을 보이고 있었다. 향기성분은 dl-Limonene이 향기성분의 64~70%를 차지하는 물질로, gammaterpinene과 함께 개량종 II에서 유의하게 높았다. 유자에 함 유된 총 페놀 함량은 품종별로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았 으나, 과즙에 비해 과피에 2.5배 정도 많은 양이 들어 있었다.

한반도 서남부 하천을 대상으로 2013년 5월(몬순의 영향이 없었던 시기)에 환경요인 및 부착돌말 군집을 각각 조사하였다. 조사는 상류에 1개 이상의 댐이나 인공 보가 형성된 조절하천(19개 지점)과 설치되어 있지 않은 비조절하천(19개 지점)으로 나누어 수질 및 부착돌 말 군집조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과, 부착돌말 출현특 성에 따라 한반도 서남부 하천은 비조절하천(G1), 혼합 형하천(G2), 조절하천(G3) 등 3개 유형으로 구분되었다. G1은 수질이 양호하고 다양한 부착돌말류가 출현한 반면, G3은 비록 수질은 불량하였으나 부착돌말 현존량 이 크게 증가하거나 감소하지 않았다. 또한 G2의 경우 조절하천에 비해 수질은 양호하였지만 부착돌말의 종수는 가장 낮게 나타났다. 본 조사에서 출현한 부착돌말 우 점종은 생태범위가 비교적 넓은 담수와 기수 보편종들로 서 G1에서 Nitzschia palea (17%), Navicula seminuloides (11%), G2에서 Nitzschia inconspicua (19%), Navicula perminuta (9%), G3에서 Nitzschia inconspicua (15%), Nitzschia palea (14%)으로 수질환경에 큰 영향을 보이지 않았으나 종수의 감소를 가져왔다. 그러나 G2와 G3 과 같은 조절하천에서 비록 부착돌말 현존량은 높지 않았으나 부영양 상태(높은 영양염 및 엽록소량 등)를 나타내 하구역의 정확한 수환경 상태파악을 위하여 국내 연안에서 종종 조류발생을 일으킬 수 있는 부유성 돌말 류에 대한 조사도 반드시 병행되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

In order to investigate the effects of antioxidants on the culture of mouse preantral follicles in vitro, we examined the effects of taurine, glutathione and catalase on their growth and maturation. Addition of taurine was not effective on the survival of preantral follicles. However, metaphase II rates of oocytes within preantral follicles were signifi-cantly higher in 1 mM treated group than in control and 10 mM treated group (p<0.05). Glutathione did not improved the rates of survival and metaphase II oocytes. However, metaphase II rates of oocytes progressively decreased with increasing glutathione concentration. Catalase also showed that the rates of survival and metaphase II oocytes pro-gressively decreased with increasing concentration. Especially, all of preantral follicles cultured in medium containing 100 IU/ml catalase were degenerated. These results suggest that low concentraion of taurine, as an antioxidant, have positive effect on the culture of mouse preantral follicles in vitro.

Bacterial soft rot is one of the major disease of Zantedeschia species (Calla lily) caused by Erwinia carotovora. The objectives of this study were i) to screen the most efficient method to determine resistance level against E. carotovora and ii) to evaluate the genetic variability in Zantedeschia genotypes by inoculation of Ecc NHRI-3 and PD 1784 isolates. Four screening tests i.e. leaf disk, petiole, tuber and tuber slice tests were used to determine the resistance level in calla lily. Eleven genotypes from section Zantedeschia were used for variation studies against E. carotovora by using the leaf disk test. It was observed that all genotypes showed variation in resistance level and could be categorized in 3 groups on the basis of their resistance level. Four of the genotypes were resistant against this pathogen whereas, 6 genotypes were moderately resistant and only one genotype was found susceptible. Within section Aestivae, ‘Galaxy’, ‘Florex Gold’, ‘Treasure’ and ‘Mango’ were found very susceptible cultivars, whereas ‘Coral Sunset’, ‘Hazel Marie’ and ‘Neroli’ were less susceptible genotypes. Most of the cultivars from section Aestivae were susceptible to bacterial soft rot and the cultivar ‘Florex Gold’ was identified as susceptible control. It is suggested to perform pre-screening through leaf disk method which proved to a non-destructive test. The pre-screening evaluation can discriminate susceptible cultivar and resistant cultivar. Tuber slice test is more useful in screening subsequent genotypes at a later growth stage in any breeding program.

Synthesis of sub-micron 2SnO·(H2O) powders by chemical reduction process was performed at room temperature as function of viscosity of methanol solution and molecular weight of PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone). Tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate and sodium borohydride were used as the tin precursor and the reducing agent, respectively. Simultaneous calcination and sintering processes were additionally performed by heating the 2SnO·(H2O) powders. In the synthesis of the 2SnO·(H2O) powders, it was possible to control the powder size using different combinations of the methanol solution viscosity and the PVP molecular weight. The molecular weight of PVP particularly influenced the size of the synthesized 2SnO·(H2O) powders. A holding time of 1 hr in air at 500˚C sufficiently transformed the 2SnO·(H2O) into SnO2 phase; however, most of the PVP (molecular weight: 1,300,000) surface-capped powders decomposed and was removed after heating for 1 h at 700˚C. Hence, heating for 1 h at 500˚C made a porous SnO2 film containing residual PVP, whereas dense SnO2 films with no significant amount of PVP formed after heating for 1 h at 700˚C.

Official Announcements of China and the Philippines have clarified their claims over the Huangyan Island, which has compartmentalized its history into three periods. Period I: Before 1946. China had acquired its title by discovery of terra nullius, and consolidated into a full title with the historical consolidation process. The Philippines made no claims in this period; instead its laws confirmed the Island lies out of its territory. Period II: 1946–1997. The Philippine evidences are private in nature, or contradictory to its laws and governmental position, thus making its claims vulnerable. China had exercised an open and peaceful effective occupation over the Island with superior evidences. Period III: After 1997. According to the ICJ judgment, April 30, 1997 was tentatively determined the critical date. Since China acquired its territorial sovereignty over the Island before the critical date, the Philippines’ acts cannot alter China’s ownership of the Island.

This paper explores central Asia's contextualization mission strategy focused on national approach to culture of homogeneity and heterogeneity. This article attempts Central Asian society's common character and differences from the historic origin and each people's cultural diversity in Central Asia. Central Asia and the entire region contextualization of this article suggesting strategies to derive basically the most basic issues of the specification that can be raised. This article explores examining particularly Central Asia’s historical-cultural common homogeneity and individuality. Chapter II examines Central Asia's history-culture and mission : mission strategy of common homogeneity. Chapter III reviews Central Asia’s mission strategy after independence : factor elements of commonality and individuality. Chapter IV analyzes Contextualization mission strategy focused on national origin and mutual confrontation. As Uzbekistan and Tajikistan develop a stronger sense of their own independence, each country is establishing a new concept of view in explaining their national origin of its own history, which is then inserted into the state ideology. Moreover, because the historical paths of the two states overlap, they interpret the same historical events, from a nationalist perspective, in diametrically opposite ways. Contemporary Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are the territories with the strongest historical links in Central Asia. Since the acquisition of independence they have been marked by similar features of state and nation building.The aim of this article is to present a general overview of the contextualization mission strategy in Central Asia in examining common character and heterogeneous features of the Central people's surroundings after independence and the different aspects of a nation's most basic historical, traditional, understanding including national origin and political system. In exploring Central Asia's mission strategy. it need to be conducted study not only common aspects and heterogeneous nature in Central Asia to identify the distinctive aspects of the Central Asia mission strategy. This article's specification of mission strategy lies in the individual culture and ethnic-based access to a variety of strategies to be drawn to emphasize that what was done. Central Asia is a mission target area.
