This study was performed to estimate serum 2S-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) level in wintertime and to evaluate the relationship between serum 25-OHD level and associated factors in 50 premenopausal working women aged 30-49 y in Busan. The serum 25-OHD level was measured by radioimmunoassay. Data for physiological characteristics, lifestyle factors, physical activity and nutrient intake was assessed by questionnaire including information about outdoor activity time, daily activity diary and 24hr recall method. The mean vitamin D intake was $4.24{\mu}g$, which corresponded to 84.9% of the Korean RDA. The mean level of serum 25-OHD was 25.7 ng/mL. Vitamin D deficiency (25-OHD < 7nmol/L) and toxicity $(25-OHD{\geq}75\;nmol/L)$ were not found in the subjects. However, the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (25-OHD < 15 nmol/L) and hypovitaminosis D (25-OHD < 30 nmol/L) were 12% and 60% respectively. The serum 25-OHD level showed positive significant correlations with the duration of outdoor activity per weekdays (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that hypovitaminosis D was common in the subjects in wintertime. So nutritional education for increasing outdoor activities is needed for premenopausal working women to increase vitamin D status in wintertime.

Magnetic multi-granule nanoclusters (MGNCs) were investigated as an inexpensive means to effectively remove arsenic from aqueous environment, particularly groundwater sources consumed by humans. Various size MGNCs were examined to determine both their capacity and efficiency for arsenic adsorption for different initial arsenic concentrations. The MGNCs showed highly efficient arsenic adsorption characteristics, thereby meeting the allowable safety limit of $10{\mu}g/L$ (ppb), prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and confirming that 0.4 g and 0.6 g of MGNCs were sufficient to remove 0.5 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L of arsenate ($AsO_4{^{3-}}$) from water, respectively. Adsorption isotherm models for the MGNCs were used to estimate the adsorption parameters. They showed similar parameters for both the Langmuir and Sips models, confirming that the adsorption process in this work was active at a region of low arsenic concentration. The actual efficiency of arsenate removal was then tested against 1 L of artificial arsenic-contaminated groundwater with an arsenic concentration of 0.6 mg/L in the presence of competing ions. In this case, only 1.0 g of 100 nm MGNCs was sufficient to reduce the arsenic concentrations to below the WHO permissible safety limit for drinking water, without adjusting the pH or temperature, which is highly advantageous for practical field applications.

This study was performed to estimate the gas-particle partitioning of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in atmosphere, the samples were collected by PUF high volume air sampler for two years from June, 2000 to June, 2002. The gas phase fraction of ${\alpha/\gamma}-HCH$, heptachlor epoxide, ${\alpha/\gamma}-chlordane$ and trans-nonachlor was over 90%. But the gas phase fraction of ${\beta}-HCH$, p,p'-DDE, endosulfan sulfate, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT was range of 20% through 80%, which means the gas phase fraction of OCPs components described above is sensitive to temperature. The correlation between the gas phase fraction and molecular weight of each OCPs component was not found in this research. The slope of regression line between gas-particle partitioning coefficient(${\log}K_p$) and subcooled liquid vapor(${\log}{P^o}_L$), gal-particle partitioning coefficient(${\log}K_p$) and octanol-air partitioning coefficient(${\log}K_{oa}$) which show -0.54 and 0.43 was not steep. So the equilibrium state between gas and particle was not reached and in this state the particulate fraction was low.

본 연구는 젖소 35,645두의 검정기록, 총 294,834를 이용하여 1회 착유량과 아세톤 및 ${\beta}$-히드록시부틸산 (BHBA) 함량의 (공)유전력을 추정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 아세톤과 BHBA의 평균 함량은 원유 1리터당 각각 $135.54{\pm}96.29{\mu}mol$과 $61.08{\pm}66.76{\mu}mol$였으며, 상위군과 하위군간 아세톤과 BHBA 함량의 차이는 각각 $6.12{\mu}mol/L$과 $4.35{\mu}mol/L$로서 모두 유의적인 차이(p<0.01)를 나타내었다. 1회 착유량의 유전력은 0.18~0.21, 아세톤 함량은 0.11~0.13과 BHBA 함량은 0.01~0.02의 범위에서 추정되었다. 아세톤과 BHBA의 표현형상관과 유전상관은 각각 0.44와 0.48로 추정되었으며, BHBA 함량이 $500{\mu}mol/L$ 이상부터는 아세톤과의 상관관계가 현저히 낮아지는 현상을 나타내었다. 하위군에서 1회 착유량에 대한 아세톤과 $Log_e$아세톤의 공유전력은 각각 0.02와 0.16으로 추정된 반면, BHBA와 $Log_eBHBA$의 공유전력은 각각 0.26과 0.32로 아세톤의 추정치보다 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 전체자료로 추정된 결과와도 일치하였다. 따라서 아세톤 함량보다는 1회 착유량과 공유전력이 높은 BHBA 함량이 1회 착유량에 대한 선발을 통하여 간접선발 반응을 유도하는데 더 효과적이며, 지시형질로서 바람직하였다.

Lab-scale experiments have been carried out to investigate ammonia stripping with a modified spray tower for removing ammonia nitrogen from swine wastewater. The operating conditions such as initial pH, temperature, air flow, hole size of distributor determining the diameter of water drops, and influent solids concentration were closely examined focusing on removal efficiency of ammonia. As a result of the experiment, in order to achieve high rate of ammonia removal by the air stripping system, the air flow rate must be supplied at high rate with sufficiently high initial pH, temperature. The optimum operating condition to meet the residual ammonia concentration of 300 mg/L was the initial pH of 11.0 at $35^{\circ}C$ with the air flow rate of 20 L/min. It also showed that the smaller hole size is, the higher removal rate of ammonia is expected. However, when used a small sized distributor (2 mm), the flooding problem at the upper column occurred due to clogging of the hole. With regard to the influent solids concentration, it was showed that the lower concentration of solids, the higher removal rate of ammonia. The removal of particulate materials in influent led to improve the removal efficiency of ammonia, rather than to control the operating condition including initial pH, temperature, and air flow. The empirical correlation between KLa and operating parameters would be driven as, $K_{La}=(0.0003T-0.0047){\cdot}G^{0.3926}{\cdot}L^{-0.5169}{\cdot}C^{-0. 1849}$. The calculated $K_{La}$ from proposed formula can be used effectively to estimate the optimum reaction time and to calculate the volume of modified spray tower system.

The presence of cracks in mechanical components is a very important problem that, if it is not detected on time, can lead to high economic costs and serious personal injuries. This work presents a methodology focused on identifying cracks in unbalanced rotors, which are some of the most frequent mechanical elements in industry. The proposed method is based on Artificial Neural Networks that give a solution to the presented inverse problem. They allow to estimate unknown crack parameters, specifically, the crack depth and the eccentricity angle, depending on the dynamic behavior of the rotor. The necessary data to train the developed Artificial Neural Network have been obtained from the frequency spectrum of the displacements of the well- known cracked Jeffcott rotor model, which takes into account the crack breathing mechanism during a shaft rotation. The proposed method is applicable to any rotating machine and it could contribute to establish adequate maintenance plans.

The characteristics of pollutant loads from the various sources and seawater quality in Kwangyang Bay were evaluated. Total flow rate was estimated to be $10,868,066.8 m^3/day$ with a flow rate of R2l (the Seomjin River) as the highest one. Total COD, TN and TP loads of the input rivers and the ditches were about 27,591.8, 25,029.6 and 586.4 kg/day, respectively. Wastewater discharging loads was the greatest contributors to pollutant loads in the inner part of Kwangyang Bay. COD values in the inner part of the bay was over 3.0 mg/L, which exceeded the seawater quality criteria III of Korea. The average values of DIN and DIP were 8.62 ${\mu}gN/L\;and\;1.26\;{\mu}gP/L$, respectively. The limiting factor for algal growth was DIN. In he total discharging loads of the watershed from unit loading estimations, BOD, TN and TP were 9,132.3, 2,727.2 and 304.2 kg/day, respectively. In addition, municipal sewage by the population as pollution sources and the city of Kwangyang as administrative district had the highest loads. For a appropriate water quality recovery of Kwangyang Bay, it is suggested that it is essential to estimate reduction rate of total pollutant loads by water quality modeling.

본 연구는 2004년~2008년에 미국에서 도입한 버크셔종의 육질 형질에 대한 유전적 특성을 파악하고, 향후 선발에 이용한 유전적 그룹(genetic group)을 분리하여 선발 및 교배계획을 체계적으로 세워 효과를 극대화시키는 전략을 세우고자 수행하였다. 그 결과 사후 대사율의 척도인 근육의 사후 45분 pH, 24시간 pH에 대한 유전력은 각각 0.60과 0.61로 높게 조사되었다. 육색의 척도인 명도, 적색도 및 황색도의 유전력은 0.56, 0.58 및 0.62로 조사되었다. 근내지방도, 유리육즙량과 가열감량에 대한 유전력은 각각 0.57, 0.51 및 0.66으로 조사되었다. 본 연구 결과로 미루어 볼 때 육질형질의 개량에 있어 육종가를 기초로 하여 선발에 활용할 경우 유전적 개량량은 크게 나타날 것으로 사료된다. 또한 사후 대사율의 척도인 pH와 육질형질과의 상관도는 높은 연관성이 존재하므로, 종돈장에서 육질형질을 개량하고자 한다면 육종가를 기반으로 한 선발지수(selection index)를 활용하면 매우 효과적일 것으로 필자는 사료된다. 그러나 본 연구에 활용된 자료는 유전모수를 추정하는데 다소 부족한 것은 사실이지만 국내 최초로 돼지의 육질형질에 대한 유전모수를 추정하는데 있어 매우 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.
