4대강사업으로 인해 생태계가 파괴되는 하천의 문제점이 발생하였다. 그로 인해 어류의 서식환경이 변화하였다. 하지만, 어류 각각의 서식처 선호도가 변화한 것은 아니기에, 변화된 환경에서 어류의 서식처에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 어류들이 선호하는 환경 조건을 판단하는데 많이 사용되고 있는 지수는 서식처 적합도 지수(Habitat Suitability Index, HSI)이다. 서식처 적합도 지수는 유속 및 수심과 같은 수리적 서식처 특성과 대상 종의 선호도를 나타내는 지수이다. 가로축은 수심 및 유속 변수, 세로축은 적합도를 의미하며, 1의 값에 해당하는 수심 및 유속이 대상 어종이 가장 선호하는 수심 및 유속 값을 나타낸다. 국내에서는 실제로 서식처 적합도 지수를 활용해 수리 인자와 서식처의 관계에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었다. 서식처 적합도 지수는 현재 수리 인자만을 고려해 서식처 적합도를 판단하고 있는데, 정밀한 분석을 위해서는 수리 인자뿐만 아니라 수질 인자를 포함해 분석해야 한다. 실제로 수리 인자와 수질 인자를 함께 고려해 어류의 서식처를 분석한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 수질적인 부분의 지수를 직접 개발하는 것이 아닌, 하천의 수질의 등급을 나타낸 Water Quality Index (NSFWQI)을 이용해 수질부분의 서식처 분석을 실시한다. NSFWQI는비교적 계산이 간단하여 수질 변화를 쉽게 파악할 수 있는 특징을 가진 지수이다. 수리자료는ADCP로 얻은 자료를 통해 기존 문헌과 대상 지역에서의 이미 존재한 서식처 적합도 지수를 이용하고, 수질 자료는 YSI로 얻은 자료를 통해 대상 지역의 NSFWQI 지수를 계산하였다. 서식처 적합도 지수와 NSFWQI 두 가지 지수를 공간분포로 나타내어 Arcgis의 적지분석 기능을 이용해 어류의 최적의 서식처 지역을 제시 하는데에 목적이 있다. 평가 대상 어종은 정수성 어종인 끄리(Opsariichthys uncirostris)와 유수성 어종인 피라미 (Zacco platypus)를 선정하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of regular taekwondo training on neurotrophic factors and cognitive function in obese middle-aged women. Thirty-three middle-aged women with obesity were selected for this study and randomly assigned into a control group(CG, n=18) and an taekwondo group(TG, n=15). The TG performed taekwondo training 5 times weekly for 16 weeks, while the CG did not exercise training. Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) levels were analyzed and Stroop Color and Word tests were performed before and after the intervention. The serum BDNF and IGF-1 levels were significantly increased in the TG after the intervention(p<.05). On the other hand, no statistically significant differences were found in the serum VEGF levels, or in the Stroop Color and Word Test scores(p>.05). These results suggest that regular taekwondo training may be affects levels of peripheral neurotrophic factors but not cognitive function in obese middle-aged women.

This study was to investigate the effects of restoring cognition function and neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus according to memory and learning training in rats affected by brain injury. Brain injury was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats(36 rats) through middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAo). And then experiment groups were randomly divided into three groups; Group I: Brain injury induction(n=12), Group II: the application for treadmill training after brain injury induction(n=12), Group III: the application for memory and learning training after brain injury induction(n=12). Morris water maze acquisition test and retention test were performed to test cognitive function. And the histological examination was also observed through the immunohistochemistric response of BDNF(brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the hippocampus. For Morris water maze acquisition test, there were significant interactions among the groups with the time(p<.001). The time to find the circular platform in Group III was more shortened than in Group I, II on the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th day. For Morris water maze retention test, there were significant differences among the groups(p<.001). The time to dwell on quadrant circular platform in Group III on the 13th day was the longest compared with other groups. And as the result of observing the immunohistochemistric response of BDNF in the hippocampus CA1, the response of immunoreactive positive in Group III on the 7th day increased more than that of Group I, II. These results suggested that the memory and learning training in rats with brain injury has a more significant impact on restoring cognitive function via the changes of neurotropic factor expression and synaptic neuroplasticity.

LID(Low Impact Development) facility classified as a social infrastructure can maintain landscape sustainability and functional sustainability through continuous maintenance and management. Since LID is a natural-based solution, the sustainability can be secured through the management of weeds, wastes and vegetation. The LID facility is distributed in the city and is an infrastructure that can be managed through citizen participation because of simple maintenance. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the maintenance factors affecting the sustainability of the LID facilities and to suggest measures for maintenance by investigating the participation of the peoples. The factors for landscape sustainability were derived to waste and weed management. Also the factors for functional sustainability were assessed to identification and management of dead bodies and selection of applicable soil and plant species. The citizens showed high agreement of more than 80% in the questionnaires on expanding and managing LID facilities, enacting LID ordinances, and participating in the national movement. The intention to participate in LID management linked to jobs was about 64%, indicating that LID could become a job for the vulnerable. Maintenance of the LID can easily be carried out by non-specialists, which can lead to citizen participation with low cost for each facility. The maintenance cost for citizen participation can be allocated from the social infrastructure management cost reduced by LID application of the local government and the social welfare budget of the central government.

The purpose of this study was to analysis the correlation between kidneys function indicators and these size in ultrasonography. A total of 170 (male:86, female:84) patients of sex and age groups were examined by abdominal ultrasonography. The patients classified as those in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and over 50's. We measured the length, width, and cross-sectional height of the kidneys twice. At this time, the length of these were measured from the maximum upper to the maximum lower pole and the widest width in the same ultrasonography was measured to obtain the cross-sectional area. Other relevant indicators included body surface area, serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), MDRD (Modification of diet in renal disease) and C-G (Cockcroft-Gault). Significant comparisons of differences between relevant factors by age groups and sex were conducted with a one-way distribution analysis. Correlation analysis was also performed between relevant factors by using Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient. It was defined as meaningful when the p-value was less than 0.05. As a result, the length, the width, and the cross-sectional area of kidneys were correlated with GFR, C-G, MDRD. Therefore, it is expected that the accuracy of diagnosis of kidneys disease will be increased if the relevant indicators are evaluated together rather than measuring only length of these in ultrasonography.

지표에서의 토양수분은 작은 구성비를 가짐에도 불구하고 여러 수문 현상을 연계하는 매우 중요한 인자로써 최근 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 토양수분은 침투나 침루를 통하여 강우와 지하수를 연결하는 기능을 함과 동시에 강우사상에 따른 유출특성에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 증발산을 통하여 에너지 순환을 연결하는 기능을 하는 인자로 기후변화와 인간의 활동에 의해 영향을 받는다. 지난 수십 년간 산림개간과 도시화는 토지이용의 변화를 초래하여 토지피복의 변화를 초래하였다. 도시화는 불투수층을 증가시켰고, 산림개간으로 산림이 농장으로 변하여 침투율을 감소시켜 유출률의 증가를 초래하였다. 이처럼 토지피복의 변화는 토양수분의 변화에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 토지피복 분류를 위해 구름의 영향이 적은 Landsat TM 영상을 사용하여 청미천 유역의 토지피복을 분류하여 토지피복도를 작성하였다. 청미천 유역은 현재 국제수문관측사업(IHP)의 일환으로 체계적인 수문관측이 진행되고 있는 지점으로, 추후 인공위성 영상을 통해 산정한 토양수분 자료를 비교할 수 있는 유역이다. Landsat TM 영상은 2009년 5월 23일에 관측된 115-34(path row) 영상으로 구름이 거의 없는 날의 자료를 사용하였다. 다중 스펙트럴 위성영상인 Landsat TM 영상은 30m 공간해상도로써 토지피복분류와 식생 등의 정보를 추출하는데 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 청미천 유역의 위성영상에 대하여 영상의 전처리 과정을 거쳐 무감독분류와 감독분류기법을 적용하여 토지피복을 분류하였다. 분류한 토지피복도는 국토해양부에서 국가수자원관리 종합정보시스템(WAMIS) 을 통하여 제공되는 토지피복도와 비교하였다.

This paper presents a hardware implementation of the STS diversity system, utilizing FPGAs and introduces the function and the design method of each of the modules of the system. In order to improve the performance of the implemented STS system which is an open loop transmit diversity system under fading environment, the exact estimation of the communication channel is essential. Therefore, we propose the optimal forgetting factor to estimate pilot channel in this paper, It is shown in this paper that the pilot channel is estimated using the forgetting factor of 0.7 without increasing the integration range of the pilot channel even when the power of pilot channel is not sufficiently large in CDMA 2000 1x signal environment.

Cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease are serious social problems associated with the rising elderly population in Korea. 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-β-ᴅ-glucopyranose (PGG) is a gallotannin isolated from medicinal plants such as Rhus chinensis. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of PGG on biomarkers related to cognitive function in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity is considered to be one of the main therapeutic strategies. PGG inhibited AChE activity in the test tube as well as in SK-N-SH cells. In addition, PGG induced protein and mRNA expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is a mammalian neurotrophin that plays major roles in the development, maintenance, repair, and survival of neuronal populations. As one of the underlying molecular mechanisms that induce BDNF expression, PGG induced the activation of Ca²⁺/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)-cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) pathway. In conclusion, PGG may be an useful material for improving cognitive function.
