In this study, a numerical investigation is conducted for the shock deceleration prediction of a conical impactor in gas-gun tests. With the development of weapon systems, gas-gun tests are required to validate the survivability and structural reliability of devices under test (DUT) in high-G shock environments, such as those over ten thousand Gs or more. As shock endurance is highly influenced by various bird parameters, such as mass, velocity, and pressure, it is important to determine the appropriate test conditions to generate a high-G shock environment. However, experimental repetitive studies are inefficient to validate test conditions in terms of economic aspects. Therefore, a numerical technique is required to replace experimental gas-gun tests. Here, a numerical investigation is conducted with ANSYS AUTODYN using explicit code. Through this investigation, the dynamic behavior of DUT is presented. In addition, the results of numerical studies are verified through a comparison with the experimental results of a gas-gun test.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to create soil contamination maps using QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) and suggest selection methods for soil pollution sources for preferential investigation in a soil contamination survey. Method: Data from soil contamination surveys over five years in Gyeonggi-do Province, South Korea (2013-2017) were used for making soil contamination maps and analyzing the density of survey points. By analyzing points exceeding the concern level of soil contamination, soil pollutant sources for priority management were identified and selection methods for preferred survey points were suggested through a study of the model area. Results: A soil contamination survey was conducted at 1,478 points over five years, with the largest number of surveys conducted in industrial complex and factory areas. Soil contamination maps for copper, zinc, nickel, lead, arsenic, fluoride, and total petroleum hydrocarbons were made, and most of the survey points were found to be below concern level 1 for soil contamination. The density of the survey points is similar to that of densely populated areas and factory areas. The analysis results of points exceeding the criteria showed that soil pollutant sources for priority management were areas where ore and scrap metals were used and stored, traffic-related facilities areas, industrial complex and factory areas, and areas associated with waste and recycling. According to the study of the model area, the preferred survey points were traffic-related facilities with 15 years or more since their construction and factories with a score of 10 or more for soil contamination risk. Conclusion: Soil contamination surveys should use GIS for even regional distribution of survey points and for the effective selection of preferred survey points. This study may be used as guidelines to select points for a soil contamination survey.

The pulse gun device is designed to identify the transverse pressure wave propagation/damping mechanism into the combustion flow field and in the combustion chamber according to the arrangement of multiple injectors. The manufactured pulse gun was tested to verify operability at the target combustion pressure and control of the pressure wave intensity. Gas nitrogen was used to pressurize the high-pressure tube and an OHP film of $100{\mu}m$ thickness was used for the diaphragm. To check the speed and intensity of the pressure waves, the dynamic and static pressure were measured using the pressure transducer. The performance test confirmed that the manufactured pulse gun can generate pressure waves with transverse characteristics that can be controled for strength depending on the supply pressure.

The objective of this study was to identify mutations in the quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA, gyrB, parC and parE genes, and the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes: qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, aac(6')-lb-cr and qepA in 40 nalidixic acid- resistant ($NA^R$) Salmonella isolates isolated from poultry slaughterhouse. The MIC of NA and ciprofloxacin for 40 $NA^R$ Salmonella isolates was $128{\sim}512{\mu}g/mL$ and < $0.125{\sim}0.25{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The Salmonella isolates were resistant to NA (100%), gentamicin (5.0%) and ampicillin (2.5%). All $NA^R$ Salmonella isolates represented point mutation in codons Aspartic acid(Asp)-87 (90%) and Serine(Ser)-83 (10%) of QRDR of gyrA gene: $Asp87{\rightarrow}glycine$, $Ser83{\rightarrow}tyrosine$. No mutations were observed in QRDR of the gyrB, parC and parE gene. Moreover PMQR genes was not found in any of the tested isolates. Our findings showed that DNA gyrase is the primary target of quinolone resistance and a single mutation in codon Asp87 and Ser83 of the gyrA gene can confer resistance to NA and reduced susceptibility ciprofloxacin in Salmonella isolates.

Objectives: Users of parks or children's play facilities have pointed to pets' bowel movements as the most serious problem when using them. In prior studies, a very low detection rate of parasites (eggs) in sand flooring materials has been found. Even though feces have been identified, no parasites (eggs) have been detected. Method: A standard solution of nitrate nitrogen was used to verify the reliability of a new nitrogen analysis method. The linearity, precision, and accuracy of the nitrate nitrogen analysis method were verified. Using this method, the pollution distribution of the sand flooring material and the degree of pollution at each point were investigated. Results: As a result of the verification of the nitrogen analysis method, the linearity was found to be good at r2=0.999 when distilled water is mixed in a standard substance solution. The standard substance additive solution r2=0.968 was found to be good. Precision represented 0.01 to 0.06% RSD for peak height. The recovery rate was 92.4 to 104.0 percent, indicating high accuracy. According to the same method of analysis, the flooring material sand at a general amusement facility with the largest number of concealed spaces was nitrate nitrogen 6.1 times higher than at the entrance of the playground. Also, in a comparison between clean sand and sandy flooring, the average nitrogen concentration of the sand flooring material was 24.4-167 times higher than pure sand. Conclusions: As such, no parasites (eggs) were detected at all points under investigation, but the sand flooring was exposed to animal fecal contamination. Therefore, the management of nitrogenous components should allow accurate identification of animal fecal contamination so that the timing of sand replacement can be managed hygienically and safely.

Statistics on the occurrence of fires in residential facilities over the past 10 years, show that approximately 40% are fires in apartment buildings. To prevent the spread of fire and support evacuation in apartment housing, the fire resistance performance and performance design of fire doors are becoming more important. This study established a database using 395 quality inspection reports from 2016 to 2020, which passed the fire performance test, and derived the fire door performance-influencing factors through an analysis of the structure (12 elements) of the fire door. As a result, the effect of core material, adhesive, hinge type, blowing agent, etc. was confirmed in 287 pass cases. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the occurrence of flames and crevices in the 108 cases of failure were the major failure factors in the fire door fire resistance test. Fire doors are composed of composite materials to prevent failure of fire resistance performance, and efficient design and quality control are required through standardization of components.

The purpose of this study is to identify the major research trends of COVID-19 in recent times. In addition, we would like to use SCOPUS, an overseas academic database provided by Elsevier, to understand the research trends of COVID-19 in the last three years (2020-2022). As a result of frequency analysis, covid 7,248 cases, pandemic 4,974 cases, study 3,313 cases, research 2,137 cases, crisis 1,777 cases appeared in order of importance. As a result of the trend analysis, we found that studies on covid and pandemic are progressing steadily, but those on study, research, and crisis have decreased somewhat recently. As a result of LDA topic modeling analysis, the important topics were found to be 'covid19, pandemic'. This shows that research on COVID-19 is important not only in everyday life, but also in companies and organizations, and therefore in other academic fields besides medicine. When (the study of)COVID-19 becomes more important than ever, there seems to be an ongoing interest in the impact and ramifications of COVID-19 research.

This study evaluated the completeness of emergency medical service (EMS) activity reports. In all, 67,830 cases of normal transfers were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 22, and statistical significance was set at p <0.5. The 119EMT_2 certificate was omitted in 50,037 (73.8%) cases, followed by time-related items in 1,227 (1.8%) cases. In the primary assessment of vital signs, systolic blood pressure was omitted and erroneous in 1,218 (1.9%) and 1,129 (1.8%) cases, respectively. In the secondary assessment, the completeness of all vital sign items was approximately 70%. As the severity of the patient's condition increased, the errors in the EMS activity report also increased, at a significant level (p=.00). Paramedics must be aware of the importance of completing the activity report.

생활·공업용수 목적의 하천수 사용량은 유량계 등 검증된 방법으로 사용량 계측 및 실적보고를 수행하고 있으나, 농업용수는 검증되지 않은 수문조작 등의 간접방법을 인정하고 있어 사용실적 자료의 신뢰도가 낮은 실정이다. 하천수의 효율적인 물 배분을 위해 농업용수 사용량 자료에 대한 신뢰도 확보 및 자료관리 기반 마련이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 전국 수리권일제조사 자료를 이용하여 농업용수 사용시설에 대한 구분 및 정리를 통해 수집체계 구축 대상을 선정하고, 사용시설의 형태 및 규모에 따라 적정 계측기술 적용 방안 및 연차별 구축 계획을 통해 농업용수 사용량 자료를 관리할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 조사된 전체 하천수 사용시설 중 제원정보 및 허가량이 유효한 14,575건 중 농업용수는 12,745건으로 개소수 대비 88.9%, 허가량 대비 81.3%(생활·농업·공업용수 대상)를 차지하고 있다. 이중 하천수 사용량 보고대상인 8,000 m³/일 이상의 1,696건에 대한 자료의 수집이 수행된다면, 전체 농업용수의 86.0%에 해당하는 사용량 자료를 확보할 수 있다. 수집체계 구축 대상 1,696건의 시설형태별(양수장, 취수보), 규모별(허가량 10만 m³/일 기준) 구분을 통해 취수보와 양수장의 최적 계측방법 선정 및 연차별 구축 계획을 수립하였다. 전국에 산재한 전체 농업용수 사용량 자료의 확보가 현실적으로 어렵기 때문에, 적정 개소수의 수집체계 구축 및 운영으로 전체 농업용수 사용량의 상당부분 자료를 확보할 수 있다면 실시간 하천수 관리 및 효율적인 물 배분을 위한 기반을 마련할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
