This study was conducted to investigate the effect of elevated carbon dioxide on the growth and physiological responses of peach 'Mihong' (Prunus persica). We simulated three different carbon dioxide conditions based on climate change scenarios RCP 8.5 in the sunlight phytotron rooms from April 22 to July 6, 2020; 400 µmol·mol^-1(present condition), 700 µmol·mol^-1 treatment(expecting carbon dioxide concentrations in mid-21st century), 940 µmol·mol^-1 treatment (expecting carbon dioxide concentrations in late 21st century). The average of maximum photosynthesis rate at 700 µmol·mol^-1(16.06 µmol·CO₂·m^-2·s^-1) was higher than those at 400 µmol·mol^-1(14.45 µmol·CO₂·m^-2·s^-1) and 940 µmol·mol^-1(15.96 µmol·CO₂·m^-2·s^-1) from May 22 to July 2. However, stomatal conductances at 700 µmol·mol^-1 and 940 µmol·mol^-1 were lower than those at the control. Also, the carbon dioxide saturation point in all treatments was reduced from 1,200 µmol·mol^-1 in the early stage of growth to 600-800 µmol·mol^-1 in the late stage of growth. The stomatal densities were decreased as carbon dioxide increased. The shoot lengths were decreased while the carbon dioxide was increased, but the increase of trunk diameter and leaf areas, shoot numbers were not statistically different. The fruit weight at 700 µmol·mol^-1(152.5 g) was higher than those at the control(141.8 g) and 940 µmol·mol^-1(147.4 g). The soluble solids were higher at 700 µmol·mol^-1, 940 µmol·mol^-1 compared to the control. These results suggest that a carbon dioxide elevated to 700 µmol·mol^-1 in the future may give a positive effect on the yield and fruit quality of peach 'Mihong' while a carbon dioxide elevated above 940 µmol·mol^-1 may affect negatively such as early senescence and loss of fruit set.

Purpose: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of sucrose containing 2 different levels of xylooligosaccharide on the glycemic index (GI) and blood glucose response in healthy adults. Methods: Healthy adults (4 male participants and 6 female participants, n = 10) were randomized to receive glucose, sucrose, sucrose containing 7% xylooligosaccharide active elements (Xylo 7), or sucrose containing 10% xylooligosaccharide active elements (Xylo 10). Each participant was administrated one of these materials once a week for 8 weeks and an oral glucose tolerance test was performed. Results: We found a reduction in the glycemic response to sucrose that included xylooligosaccharide active elements (Xylo 7 and Xylo 10). The glycemic indices of sucrose, Xylo 7 and Xylo 10 were 68.9, 54.7, and 52.5, respectively. The GI values of Xylo 7 and Xylo 10 were similar to that of foods with low GI. The percentage reduction of GI value caused by sucrose containing xylooligosaccharide active elements was significantly different and dose-dependent as compared to that caused by sucrose alone (p < 0.05). The reduction in the glycemic response to Xylo 7 and Xylo 10 was 21% and 24%, respectively, as compared to the glycemic response to sucrose. The attenuation of the glycemic response to Xylo 10 tended to be higher than that for Xylo 7 when the percentage of body fat was increased. Conclusion: These results demonstrated that xylooligosaccharide active elements may be effective in protecting humans against overconsumption of sucrose.

Background: Preoperative elevated serum creatinine values are associated with increased risk for both morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). We investigated the postoperative changes of renal function and proper management in the patients. Material and Method: Among 74 consecutive patients who underwent isolated on-pump CABG, 17 patients with increased serum creatinine level $(creatinine\;\geqq\;1.5\;mg/dL)$ within preoperative one week wereincluded in the study. Seven patients showed pre­operative serum creatinine level of 2.0 mg/dL or higher, and 3 of them had been undergoing hemodialysis. Preoperative hemodialysis was performed in the 3 patients due to end-stage renal failure (ESRD) the day before the operation. We started peritoneal dialysis immediately after the cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with ESRD or postoperative acute renal failure if it was necessary to remove intravascular volume and lower serum creatinine level. Result In most of the patients with CABG, postoperative serum creatinine level increased and recovered to the preoperative level at the discharge. In 2 of the 4 patients with serum creatinine level of 2.0 mg/dL or higher and 3 patients with ESRD, intravascular volume, serum creatinine level and serum electrolyte were controlled with peritoneal dialysis. Conclusion: Postoperative serum creatinine level increased transiently in most of CABG patients, and intravascular volume and serum creatinine level were controlled by peritoneal dialysis only in the patients with acute renal failure postoperatively and those depending on hemodialysis.

This study was especially conducted to find out the characteristics of the lightweight air-mixed soil (slurry density 10 kN/$m^3$) containing silt related to water. Compression strength, permeability, and capillary height of the lightweight air-mixed soil were studied, and also to support these studies, the structure of that soil was analyzed in detail. Air bubbles of various sizes are inside the lightweight air-mixed soil, and its distribution in a location is almost constant. A numerous tiny pores are inside the air bubbles so that the lightweight air-mixed soil can be saturated with water. Porosity is also estimated through the image analysis. Peak strength of the lightweight air-mixed soil is not dependent on water, but behavior of stress-strain is affected by the water. Permeability is about $4.857{\times}10^{-6}cm/sec$, which is a little bit higher than the clay's permeability. Capillary rise occurs rapidly at the beginning of the test until the lapse of 100 minutes and then its increase rate becomes slow. The capillary rise causes the increase of the density of the lightweight air-mixed soil, and thus it is required to pay attention to this phenomenon during structure design and maintenance of the lightweight air-mixed soil.

The Chonsei component holds the highest level of weight (5.4%) in the composition of the Korean consumer price index (CPI). The variations in Chonsei prices are directly reflected in the CPI as a representation of cost swings. The Chonsei refers to a deposit that accumulates the costs related to housing services and is mostly affected by variations in rental rates. Nevertheless, it is important to note that Chonsei prices are also susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates, regardless of the rent prices. Therefore, if Chonsei were directly and one-to-one indexed to the CPI, they could include changes other than residential service prices. After analyzing the time series data of the Chonsei index and rent index inside the CPI, it becomes apparent that the Chonsei index displays an average annual growth rate of 2.3%, whilst the rent index reveals a growth rate of 0.9%. The observed disparity in growth rates indicates a divergence in trends between the two indices. It is posited that the Chonsei index, when capitalized, has had a more rapid increase compared to the rental index, owing to the gradual drop in interest rates. To effectively reflect fluctuations in the housing service costs, proxies for the Chonsei index were utilized in the construction of a consumer price index. The findings of our study suggest that, overall, the newly developed CPI demonstrates a comparatively lower rate of inflation when compared to the official CPI. Furthermore, the inclusion of imputed rents for owner-occupied housing in CPI amplifies this effect.

울릉분지 남서부 해역에서 채취한 두 개의 피스톤 코어 (piston core) 시료를 이용하여 퇴적학 및 지화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 코어는 제4기말의 이질 퇴적물로 대부분 구성되어 있고, 테프라 (tephra layer)와 사질 퇴적물이 일부 협재되어 나타난다. 기존 확인된 울릉분지의 테프라를 이용하여 층서 대비를 한 결과, 두 코어는 대양보다는 높은 퇴적률 (10-12cm/kyr)을 갖는다. 이는 코어가 약 4만 4천년 전의 기록부터 시작하고 있음을 의미한다. 동위원소 층서 2 (마지막 빙기) 중에 형성된 구간에서는 저탁류의 영향을 많이 받은 여러 종류의 퇴적상들이 교호하여 나타난다. 코어의 하부 구간에서는 가스의 방출에 의하여 형성된 것으로 사료되는 수평균열이 다수 관찰된다. 두 코어에서 측정된 유기탄소 (organic carbon) 함량은 평균 $1.8\% $(0.1-4.5\%)$으로 열린 바다 (open sea) 퇴적물의 유기탄소 함량보다 높다. 이는 Termination I 시기 때 해수면 상승으로 인해 산소가 다소 결핍된 환경으로 전이되면서 유기탄소의 양이 증가하였음을 보여주는 것으로 해석된다.

철강산업에 있어서 공해저감시설의 설치와 증 개축시 발생하는 제반 문제점과 함께 불완전한 시장과 제약된 경영여건하에서 각 기업들은 주어진 요소의 시장가격으로 생산비용 최소화의 실현과 더불어 합리적이며 효율적인 생산활동을 하고 있다고는 할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 한국 철강산업을 대상으로 일반비용 함수 방식에 의한 계수검정을 실시하여 공해저감시설 또는 자본을 포함한 각 생산요소의 상대가격 효율성 달성 여부를 알아본다. 그리고 비효율성으로 인한 생산비용의 상승효과를 측정하고 공해저감자본의 실제 투입량과 적정수준과의 차이를 측정하여 공해저감자본에 대한 적정 투입률을 분석한다. 측정 결과, 상대가격의 비효율성으로 인하여 1982년부터 1994년까지의 기간 동안 철강산업의 생산비용이 연평균 약 13.6% 증가되었으며 공해저감자본은 적정수준에 비해 연평균 48.4% 적게 투입된 것으로 나타났다.

함정의 추진체계로 전기추진체계가 선정될 경우 대용량의 전동기 및 전력변환장치가 설치된다. 전동기를 구동하여 추진력을 얻기 위해서는 발전기에서 공급하는 AC 전력을 AC에서 DC 다시 DC에서 AC로 변환하는 과정을 거치게 된다. 이 과정에서 전력용 반도체의 On/Off 동작에 의해 높은 전압상승률 (dv/dt)이 발생하며 이로 인해 함정의 선체를 통해 흐르는 누설전류가 발생하여 인접 장비에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 전기추진 함정의 전자기 간섭(EMI) 현상 발생 원인에 대해 분석하고 이를 저감시키기 위한 방법으로 Drain wire를 적용하고 그 효과에 대해 분석한다.

주택 혹 산업용, 공공건물용으로 상용화 되어 있는 스트링 어레이 중앙 인버터 방식은 고압의 DC 배선으로 인한 안전문제, 고가의 고압 DC 차단기의 설치 및 과전압보호기 등으로 가격이 상승하게 되고 설치 시에도 패널간 균일 성능을 보장해야하고 스트링 상에 놓여 있는 패널 일부가 불량이거나 그림자가 져서 발전이 미비할 경우 전체 시스템 발전이 정지하거나 발전량이 미비해지는 문제가 생기므로 항상 최적의 상태로 운전할 수 없다. 그래서 이러한 태양광 발전 방식의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 각 모듈마다 마이크로 인버터를 장착하여 각각 패널마다 분산적인 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 를 수행할 수 있고 DC 배선이 없기 때문에 시스템 설치비용을 획기적으로 절감할 수 있으며 안정성 문제도 중앙 인버터 방식보다 획기적으로 향상된다. 패널 또는 인버터 고장 시 전체 시스템의 차단 없이 교체가 가능 하여 시스템의 설비 이용률을 최대로 할 수 있다. 이러한 패널에 쓰이는 마이크로 인버터를 PSIM으로 구현하여 DLL로 통해 디지털 제어로 구현을 하고 시뮬레이션으로 통해 시스템의 효능을 알아보았다.

In the present study, the characteristics of upward bubble flow were experimentally investigated in a liquid bath. The velocity of upward bubble flow was calculated for two different experimental conditions：1) bubble flow without kinetic energy 2) bubble flow with kinetic energy. Bubble flow without kinetic energy starts to undergo the effect of buoyancy l0cm away from the nozzle. Whereas. kinetic energy is dominant before 30 cm away from the nozzle in bubble flow but after this point kinetic energy and inertial force are applied on bubble flow at the same time In addition, as the flow rate increases the maximum velocity point moves to the nozzle. The velocity Profiles near free surface is extremely irregular due to surface flow. Gas volume fraction is high near the nozzle due to gas concentration. but decreases with the increasement of axial position. Gas volume fraction does not vary after the axial position, z=60 in spite of the increasement of flow.
