Stommel(1948)은 서안경계류의 원인이 베타효과($\beta$-effect)라 일컫는 코리올리 파라미터(f)의 위도 변화 때문인 것을 밝혔다. 서안경계류는 고등학교나 대학 교양에서 중요하게 다뤄지고 있다. 학생들은 보통 이론 수업만으로 서안경계류의 발생 과정, 이에 관련된 코리올리 힘, 베타효과 등을 이해해야 한다. 때문에 서안경계류와 관련된 실험이 있다면 이를 이해하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 연구에서 검토한 6종의 고등학교 지구과학 2 교과서는 서안경계류를 본문과 더불어 삽화로 설명하고 있다. 그러나 이 중 3종의 교과서 삽화에서는 서안경계류의 발생 원인을 코리올리 힘만으로 지적하고 있다. 따라서 일부 학생은 서안경계류의 원인을 코리올리 힘으로 오해 할 수 있다. 위와 같은 이유로 우리는 서안경계류가 코리올리 힘의 작용과 베타효과에 의해 나타나는 것을 쉽게 확인 할 수 있는 실험 장치와 다양한 실험 방법을 개발하였다. 개발한 실험 장치는 직육면체의 수조와 회전 속도를 조절할 수 있는 테이블로 구성된다. (Fig. 1) 이와 같은 회전수조는 대기와 해양의 움직임을 실험실에서 모사하기 위해 자주 사용되었다(Beardsely 1969, 소선섭 등 1995; 1997). 우리의 수조는 경사진 바닥과 평평한 바닥으로 두종류를 제작하였다. 바닥이 경사진 수조는 베타효과를 구현하기 위한 것이다. 반시계 방향으로 회전하는 테이블은 중위도 어떤 위도에 접하는 가상의 평면이 지구 자전에 의해 회전하는 것을 나타낸다. 그리고 수조 상부에는 회전원판을 물에 접하여 시계방향으로 회전시킨다. 회전원판은 북반구 중위도 해양에 작용하는 바람 응력을 나타낸다. 우리는 테이블의 회전유무와 바닥의 경사유무에 따라 4개 실험을 수행하였다(Table. 1). 각 실험에서 물을 채운 수조를 원판에 올려놓고, 회전원판을 작동시킨 후 20분 동안 그대로 두어 수조안의 미세규모의 운동을 최소화 시킨 후 잉크를 떨어뜨리고 관찰하였다. 그 결과 실험 SB_f1은 베타효과와 코리올리 힘이 존재하여 서쪽 경계에서 좁고 빠른 흐름을 만들고 수조의 중간 부근에서 경계를 벗어나 동쪽으로 향하고 있다. 이 모습은 실제 해양의 서안경계류의 분리 현상과 비슷하다. FB_f1은 코리올리 힘만 존재하여 서쪽 경계에서 좁고 빠른 순환과 경계를 벗어나 동쪽으로 분리되는 흐름이 나타나지 않으며 전반적으로 크게 회전하는 모습을 보인다. SB_f0은 바람의 응력만 존재하는 경우로 잉크가 확산하는 모습을 보이며 나선팔의 모양으로 회전하면서 넓게 퍼져나간다. FB_f0의 모양도 이와 비슷하게 나타난다. 실험 SB_f1과 FB_f1을 비교하여 서안경계류는 코리올리 힘의 위도변화 효과인 베타효과가 있을 때 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있다(Fig. 2). 이 결과는 "단순히 코리올리 효과에 의해 서안경계류가 발생한다"는 생각을 바꾸게 할 것이다. 덧붙여 서안경계류 분리와 수조 바닥의 경사의 관계를 살펴보기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 경사가 더 급하면 ($\alpha=20^{\circ}$) 서쪽 경계를 벗어나는 지점이 좀 더 북쪽에 나타났다. 현재 서안경계류는 개발한 실험 장치와 방법을 학교 현장에 적용하여 그 교육적 활용 가치를 평가하는 연구를 진행하고 있다.

A new remote access system for a 1.3 MV high voltage electron microscope has been developed. Almost all essential functions for HVEM operation, huck as stage control, specimen tilting, TV camera selection and image recording, are successfully embedded into this prototype of the remote system. Particularly, this system permits perfect and precise operation of the goniometer and also controls the high resolution digital camera via simple Web browsers. Transmission of control signals and communication with the microscope is accomplished via the global ring network for advanced applications development (GLORIAD). This fact makes it possible to realize virtual laboratory to carry out practical national and international HVEM collaboration by using the present system

This article explores some of the ethical issues associated with the fourth industrial revolution and suggests new directions for bioethics education in Korean universities. Some countries have recently developed guidelines and regulations based on the legal and ethical considerations of the benefits and social risks of new technologies associated with the fourth industrial revolution. Foreign universities have also created courses (both classroom and online) that deal with these issues and help to ensure that these new technologies are developed in an ethically appropriate fashion. In South Korea too there have been attempts to enhance bioethics education to meet the changing demands of society. However, bioethics education in Korea remains focused on traditional bioethical topics and largely neglects the ethical issues related to emerging technologies. Furthermore, Korean universities offer no online courses in bioethics and the classroom courses that do exist are generally treated as electives. In order to improve bioethics education in Korean universities, we suggest that (a) new course should be developed for interprofessional education; (b) courses in bioethics should be treated as required subjects gradually; (c) online courses should be prepared, and (d) universities should continually revise course contents in response to the development of new technologies.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high temperature on the viability of probiotic organisms (Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mixed with animal feed under controlled conditions by simulating a farm feed bin in the summer. Following inoculation of probiotics into the feed, the pH and probiotic viability were monitored during an 8-day incubation at room temperature. Sterile and non-sterile feeds displayed different patterns of pH changes, with increased pH in non-sterile feed at 2 days, but a pattern of decreasing pH at 4 days. The viabilities of S. cerevisiae and B. subtilis after mono/co-inoculation were maintained without substantial changes during the incubation, whereas L. plantarum viability tended to decline. In both non-sterile and sterile feeds, the probiotics were maintained or grew without any antagonistic effects. Probiotic viability was also tested upon a shift to high temperature ($60^{\circ}C$). There was no distinct change in pH between sterile and non-sterile feeds after the temperature shift. L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae could not survive at the high temperature, whereas B. subtilis displayed normal growth, and it inhibited the growth of contaminant microbes. Fungal growth was not observed in non-sterile feed 2 days after supplementation with B. subtilis. Therefore, heat resistant B. subtilis could be safely used in feed bins to inhibit microbial contamination, even at high temperatures. The prevention of elevated temperature in feed bins is necessary for the utilization of L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae during the summer season.

Fostering trusting belief in financial transactions is a challenging task in Internet banking services. Authenticated Certificate had been regarded as an effective method to guarantee the trusting belief for online transactions. However, previous research claimed that this method has some loopholes for such abusers as hackers, who intend to attack the financial accounts of innocent transactors in Internet. Two types of methods have been suggested as alternatives for securing user identification and activity in online financial services. Control transparency uses information over the transaction process to verify and to control the transactions. Outcome feedback, which refers to the specific information about exchange outcomes, provides information over final transaction results. By using these two methods, financial service providers can send signals to involved parties about the robustness of their security mechanisms. These two methods-control transparency and outcome feedback-have been widely used in the IS field to enhance the quality of IS services. In this research, we intend to verify that these two methods can also be used to reduce risks and to increase the security protections in online banking services. The purpose of this paper is to empirically test the effects of the control transparency and the outcome feedback on the risk perceptions in Internet banking services. Our assumption is that these two methods-control transparency and outcome feedback-can reduce perceived risks involved with online financial transactions, while increasing perceived trust over financial service providers. These changes in user attitudes can increase the level of user satisfactions, which may lead to the increased user loyalty as well as users' willingness to pay for the financial transactions. Previous research in IS suggested that the increased level of transparency on the process and the result of transactions can enhance the information quality and decision quality of IS users. Transparency helps IS users to acquire the information needed to control the transaction counterpart and thus to complete transaction successfully. It is also argued that transparency can reduce the perceived transaction risks in IS usage. Many IS researchers also argued that the trust can be generated by the institutional mechanisms. Trusting belief refers to the truster's belief for the trustee to have attributes for being beneficial to the truster. Institution-based trust plays an important role to enhance the probability of achieving a successful outcome. When a transactor regards the conditions crucial for the transaction success, he or she considers the condition providers as trustful, and thus eventually trust the others involved with such condition providers. In this process, transparency helps the transactor complete the transaction successfully. Through the investigation of these studies, we expect that the control transparency and outcome feedback can reduce the risk perception on transaction and enhance the trust with the service provider. Based on a theoretical framework of transparency and institution-based trust, we propose and test a research model by evaluating research hypotheses. We have conducted a laboratory experiment in order to validate our research model. Since the transparency artifact(control transparency and outcome feedback) is not yet adopted in online banking services, the general survey method could not be employed to verify our research model. We collected data from 138 experiment subjects who had experiences with online banking services. PLS is used to analyze the experiment data. The measurement model confirms that our data set has appropriate convergent and discriminant validity. The results of testing the structural model indicate that control transparency significantly enhances the trust and significantly reduces the risk perception of online banking users. The result also suggested that the outcome feedback significantly enhances the trust of users. We have found that the reduced risk and the increased trust level significantly improve the level of service satisfaction. The increased satisfaction finally leads to the increased loyalty and willingness to pay for the financial services.
