Telephone directories ille still being used as the sampling frame in almost all fixed-line telephone surveys in Korea, causing potentially serious coverage error. RDD (random digit dialing) sampling is an obvious alternative to solve the problem. The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) proposal of RDD methodology suitable to the telephone system of Korea and 2) the identification of socio-demographic and socio-psychological differences between listed-number and unlisted-number respondents. Major findings of RDD telephone survey conducted experimental]y are as follows. 1) Population coverage by telephone directories is 60% or less. 2) Unlisted-number households have statistically larger income compared to listed-number households. 3) Unlisted-number households have smaller family size compared to listed-number households. 4) Unlisted-number respondents are more sensitive about confidentiality, leaks, 5) Unlisted-number respondents are more liberal compared to unlisted-number respondents. These facts suggest that directory-based telephone surveys tend to be biased in socio-economic aspects.

Dried cabbage, spinach, carrot, mugwort and yam were irradiated at 1, 5 and 10 kGy using a $^{60}Co$ irradiator at room temperature. Effects of irradiation dose and storage time on irradiated dried vegetables were investigated through electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Strong positive correlation coefficients ($R^{2}=0.9698-0.9915$) were obtained between irradiation dose and corresponding ESR signal intensity. ESR signal of mugwort was most stable at 9 weeks storage, followed by carrot, yam, and spinach, whereas that ESR signal of cabbage was not distinguishable.

This study conducted a 3-stage survey and simulation experiment to identify the impact of vehicle platoons on car-following behavior of manually-driven vehicles. Vehicle maneuvering data obtained from driving simulations was statistically analyzed based on three measures including average speed, acceleration noise, and offset to represent the deviation of lateral movements. Results indicate that MV drivers tended to have psychological burden while driving in automated vehicle platooning environments, which resulted in different vehicle maneuvers. It is expected that the outcome of this study would be useful fundamentals in developing various traffic operations strategies for managing mixed traffic stream consisting of MVs and autonomous vehicles.

To perform efficient and safe haulage operations in mines, the condition of unsurfaced roads where dump trucks are moving should be regularly investigated, and systematic maintenance should be carried out according to the results. In this study, we developed a smartphone application that can be used to periodically investigate the unsurfaced road conditions in mines. Using the developed application, necessary data can be easily collected on site to evaluate the condition of unsurfaced roads according to the Unsurfaced Road Condition Index (URCI) evaluation system presented by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The smartphone application was tested at several sections of unsurfaced road in the Ilkwang mine, Busan, Korea. The results showed that the field investigation about 7 factors considered in the URCI evaluation system can be conducted through the user interface screen, and the URCI value can be calculated in the field to evaluate the condition of unsurfaced road. The smartphone application developed in this study can be useful for surveying and evaluating the unsurfaced road conditions at the mine site.

구조물 지진해석을 위한 구조물 -지반 상호작용 해석에서도 비선형 지반 특성을 고려한 비선형해석이 요구되고 있어 구조물 비선형 지진 해석을 위해 기초 지반에 대한 수평방향 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 기초지반은 UBC 분류에서 규정한 보통지반인 Sn 지반과 연약지반인 SE 지반을 고려하였고, 지반의 비선형 특성은 Ramberg-Osgood 모델을 이용하였다. 비선형 지반이 기초지반 수평 및 회전 동적 강성 및 감쇠비에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 얕은 기초와 묻힌기초에 대해 기초 크기, 지반깊이 및 말뚝유무에 따른 동적 강성 및 감쇠비 변화를 조사하였는데, 지반의 비선형 특성이 기초지반의 선형 수평 및 회전 강성과 감쇠비를 크게 감소 또는 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 기초크기, 지반깊이 및 말뚝유무의 영향도 큰 것으로 나타나 구조물 지진해석시 기초크기, 지반깊이 및 말뚝유무와 함께 지반의 비선형성도 고려하는 것이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was to elucidate the effect of low dose gamma (${\gamma}$)-ray irradiation on the germination, seedling growth and antioxidant activity in sunflower seeds. The seed germination was stimulated in the range of 2.7${\sim}$8.0% by low dose ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation compared with that of the control; however, the germination of seeds stored for 4 months after irradiated was decreased at all low dose ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation groups. Especially, the germination rate of 32 Gy-irradiated seed group was much lower than that of the other groups and 8 Gy was the optimal radiation dose for germination at room temperature. Though there was variation with storage time and temperature, seedling growth stored at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 4 months after irradiated was promoted at the 1 Gy ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation group compared to seed stored at 25$^{\circ}C$. For the antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated seeds extract, 4 Gy and 32 Gy groups were significantly increased by 68.83% and 95.44%, respectively, compared to control at the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g$/ml.

The effect of gamma irradiation on volatile components of Korean dried ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) was studied and compared with non-irradiated sample. Volatile compounds from non- and irradiated samples were extracted using simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) apparatus and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC/MS). A total of 83 and 71 compounds were identified and quantified from non-and irradiated dried ginger at dose of 10 kGy. Identified components were hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones and miscellaneous compounds. The terpenoid compounds in volatile flavor compounds identified from non and irradiatied dried ginger were $98.27\%\;and\;98.12\%$, respectively. $\alpha$ -zingiberene,$\beta$-sesquiphelland reno, geranial, (Z,E) $\alpha$ -farnesene, $\beta$ -phellandene were detected as major volatile compounds of two experimental sample. The amount of volatile components in the samples was changed by irradiation but the profile of volatiles in non- and irradiated dried ginger were the same.

Hydrocarbons in soybeans were analyzed to determine whether the hydrocarbons can be applied for detecting post-irradiation of soybeans. Yellow and green soybeans were irradiated at 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 kGy. Fats were extracted with hexane and then hydrocarbons were separated from the fat through Florisil column. The hydrocarbons were analyzed with GC. Hydrocarbons 17:2, 16:3, 17:1, and 16:2 were detected in the samples irradiated at 0.5 kGy or higher, but not in the unirradiated ones. The detection levels of hydrocarbons increased with the dose of the irradiation. When unirradiated or irradiated soybeans were roasted or boiled, these hydrocarbons were detected in the samples irradiated at 1 kGy or higher, but not in the unirradiated ones. A blind test confirmed that the hydrocarbon determining method could detect the soybeans irradiated at 1 kGy.

This research was conducted to investigate changes in quality characteristics of gamma-irradiated chickens during storage at different temperature and periods. In heme pigment(myoglobin) content, metmyoglobin content of chicken stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ was not affected by gamma irradiation but slightly increased with the increase in storage period. All samples stored at -20$^{\circ}C$ were no different in heme pigment content between nonirradiated and irradiated samples and slightly decreased as the freezing storage period increased. The SDS electrophoresis patterns were not significantly different between nonirradiated and irradiated samples. All samples stored in at 5$^{\circ}C$ showed a prominent breakdown of molecular weights ranging from 97,000 to 116,000 Daltons after 8 weeks' storage. TBA values increased according to the increment of irradiation dose level and storage period at both temperatures, 5$^{\circ}C$and -20$^{\circ}C$. However, The acid value decreased with increasing irradiation dose level. In the VBN value, nonirradiated chickens were four times higher than that of 7 kGy-irradiated one.

구강안면동통환자의 발통점에 대한 보존적 치료방법중 저출력레이저의 효과를 평가하기 위해 교근, 측두근과 승모근에 발통점을 가진 치과대학생 69명을 무작위로 분류하여 37명에게는 GaAlAs 반도체 레이저를 조사하였고 나머지 32명은 레이저를 실제로 조사하지 않고 대조군으로 삼았다. 50mW, 820nm의 GaAlAs 반도체 레이저를 이용하여, 4주 동안 첫 주는 2회, 이후 3주 동안 1회씩 총 5회 조사하였고 전자통각계를 이용하여 압력통각역치를 측정한 후 이를 대조군과 비교한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 남녀 및 조사군과 비조사군의 치료 전 압력통각역치는 차이가 없었다. 2. 조사군의 각 근육에서 측정한 압력통각역치는 레이저 치료 2주 후부터 유의하게 높아졌으나 비조사군에서는 차이가 없었다, 3. 비조사군의 치료 전, 후 압력통각역치에는 성 차가 없었다. 반면 종사군의 압력통각역치는 치료 전에는 성 차가 없었으나 치료 후에는 남성이 여성보다 유의하게 높았다.
