국내에서는 '물손실(누수)을 얼마나 잘 관리하고 있는지' 평가하는 물손실관리 수행능 지표를 '유수율(누수율)' 로 판단하고 있다. 하지만, 유수율은 실제 관리자의 의지와 무관한 인자에 영향을 받을 수 있으며, 지역의 여건상 유수율이 높게 나올 수밖에 없는 지역이 있는가 하면 반대로 지역의 여건 상 유수율이 낮게 나올 수밖에 없는 지역이 있다. 따라서 유수율만을 이용하여 물손실관리 수행능력을 평가하는 지표로는 미흡함이 있는 것으로 판단될 뿐만 아니라 IWA에서는 전통적인 백분율을 이용한 지표(손실율, 유수율, 무수율 등)의 문제를 언급하면서 수자원의 효율적인 사용 혹은 상수도사업의 경제성을 나타내는 목적 외에는 사용하지 말아야 한다고 권고하였다. 현재까지의 연구를 보면, 국내 실정에 맞는 다양한 물손실관리 수행능 지표들이 언급되면서 이에 대한 적합성 및 적용성에 대한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 연구들은 지자체 단위로 물손실관리 수행능 지표에 대한 연구를 진행하였다면, 본 연구에서는 소블럭 단위로 수도통계자료를 분석하여 물손실관리를 위한 어떠한 지표를 이용하는 것이 타당한 방법인지 제시하고자 하였다. 비교분석을 하기 위한 지표인 소블럭별 유수율, 실손실율(누수율), 1인당 실손실량, 급수전당 실손실량, 누수평가지표(ILI)를 산정하고, 그 결과에 따라 소블럭별 순위를 결정하였다. 유수율과 급수인구를 고려한 1인당 실손실량과의 비교분석에서 높은 R² (결정계수)값과 소블럭별 순위변동 폭이 적은 것으로 나타났으나, 유수율과 급수전수를 고려한 급수전당 실손실량 및 배수관의 연장과 급수전수, 평균압력을 고려한 누수평가지표와의 비교분석에서는 낮은 R²값과 소블럭별 순위 변동폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 앞서 언급한 것처럼, 유수율만을 이용하여 물손실관리 수행능을 설명하기에는 부족할 것으로 판단되며, 유수율 외에도 다양한 지표들을 종합적으로 고려했을 때 가장 바람직한 물손실관리 수행능 평가가 될 것으로 사료된다.

Recently International Water Association(IWA) has proposed new performance indicators for water supply services and their successful applications are being reported continually. According to the various reports, the percentage indicators were suggested not to be used for performance comparison, especially where the targeted areas have great difference in consumption per service connection. But unfortunately in Korea the revenue water ratio, one of the percentage indicators is still being used to set up the goal of water-related administration and to compare the performances between systems. Therefore this study aimed to prove the inapplicability of the percentage indicators with nation-wide data and to suggest better performance indicators for more efficient water loss management. According to the result of the comparison of various performance indicators with conventional one, it is roved that percentage indicators ca not evaluate the performance efficiently where the local situations are significantly different. It is suggested that the better performance indicators such as real losses per service connection or ILI should be used to benchmark the performances of water suppliers on water loss management so thai the problems of water losses could be identified easily and recovered effectively.

SWG(Smart Water Grid)는 한정적인 수자원을 효율적으로 이용하고 사용자 입맛에 맞춰 물을 안정적으로 공급하고자 하는 양방향 개념으로 수자원 분야에서 각광받는 실정이다. SWG의 성능을 평가하는 연구사례는 많지 않으며 현재 국내의 경우 실증단지를 구축하고 있는 단계이다. 그러므로 성능평가를 수행하기 위한 실측자료가 부재하므로 성능평가 지표선정에 활용 할 수 있는 자료가 제한적이다. 따라서 미국의 Leed, 영국의 BREEAM, 일본의 CASBEE, 호주의 Green Star의 인증 기준에서 수자원에 대한 항목과 기존의 IWA, World Bank, AWWA, JWWA, OFWAT 같은 해외 상수도 수행능 지표와 상수도 및 정수장 기술진단에서 제시하는 기준을 바탕으로 성능평가지표를 선정 보완하여 Water Facility Index, Smart Index, Optimum System Index로 분류하여 각 세부의 성능평가지표를 선정하였다. 선정된 지표는 AHP기법를 활용하여 1-4단계에 걸쳐 계층화를 실시하고 Bottom-up방식으로 4단계에서부터 1단계로 평가를 진행하도록 구성했다. 4단계에서는 계층 별 쌍대비교 결과를 바탕으로 중요도에 따른 가중치를 부여하고 차등 점수를 적용하며, 이는 3단계에서 필수적으로 만족해야하는 지표들을 설정하고 평가하기 위해 사용된다. 3단계에서는 지표평가 후 "보통" 이상의 점수를 획득해야 2단계로 진행할 수 있고, 2단계에서는 3가지 큰 지표를 설정 후 총점 기준 60%이상의 최소득점 기준을 만족해야 1단계로 진행할 수 있도록 구성했다. 이러한 절차를 바탕으로 마지막 1단계에서는 100점을 만점으로 하는 6단계의 최종성능을 평가하는 결과를 제시할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국외 성능평가 사례 중 SWG와 관련된 지표를 구성하여 성능평가를 수행할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 향후 지속적인 연구 진행 결과와 실측자료를 수집하여 수정 및 보완이 수행될 예정이다.

This study was conducted to reveal the effects of pork consumption on the renal and hematochemical indices of workers occupationally exposed to an unclean environment for 6 weeks. Forty-five free-living volunteers were recruited from the workers employed in a car-engine part factory and a leather dyeing company in the Gyeonggi area. Volunteers were to submit a subject consent form prior to the study. They were asked to complete a questionnaire on dietary habits, and blood and urine samples were collected before and after the pork consumption trial. Pork dishes were fed twice weekly (150g per meal) as part of lunch or dinner at the work place. Urine N-Acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosamidase (NAG) levels were reduced after the trial, but total-cholesterol, HDL-and LDL-cholesterol levels did not change. However, triglyceride levels did increase significantly (p<0.005). The Zn, Pb, and Cd concentrations in serum tended to decrease, though without statistical significance. In conclusion, the regular consumption of pork may be beneficial for renal functions, however further research in this area is needed.

This study was conducted to compare and analyze change of content of polyphenol and p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA), which is an index-component, and antioxidant activity between fermented Gastrodia elata Blume and non-fermented G. elata Blume. The polyphenol contents before and after the fermentation were 108.65 and 389.99 mg/mL respectively, and the content of index-component HBA increased from 2.46 mg/g before fermentation to 7.94 mg/g after fermentation. In comparison between the non-fermented G. elata Blume extract (NFGE) and fermented G. elata Blume extract (FGE) in DPPH, ABTS, and superoxide radical scavenging assay, we found that FGE showed more activity than NFGE as the extract was more concentrated. Especially, the superoxide radical scavenging activity was increased more than twenty times in FGE. In conclusion, we confirmed increase in the electron donating ability and radical scavenging when the dried G. elata Blume is fermented, and its further feasibility as an antioxidant.

The aim of this study is to distinguish children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from the norm group by identifying their Intelligence with Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (K-WISC-IV) profile analysis. The article were administered to 90 children with high-functioning ASD (6-16) years and has surveyed the average of the Full scale IQ, index scores, and subtest scores of K-WISC-IV. Also, this study has conducted a single-subject T-test in order to verify whether Full scale IQ, index scores, subtest scores are different from those of the norm group. The results show that children with high-functioning ASD achieved significantly lower scores on Processing Speed Index, compared to the norm group. Furthermore, their scores in Comprehension, Picture Concept, Picture completion, Coding, and Symbol Search were significantly lower than those of the norm group. It is likely that what have turned out to be the cognitive weaknesses of high-functioning ASD children by K-WISC-IV analysis, including slow process speed, low social judgement, and difficulty in visual stimuli in everyday life are interrelated to their unique characters.

In this paper, we developed and then analyzed the specifications of the frequency synthesizer which was applied to long range MFR (Multi-function Radar). These specifications were able to guarantee the functions and performance of MFR. MFR was the radar system that used phase array for electronically scanning. This frequency synthesizer made various frequency signals including to STALO (Stable Local Oscillator) for MFR. By analyzing the MFR requirements, we choose the optimal frequency synthesis method and then we got the best performance and functionality including to physical size for this system. We designed and fabricated DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer)-driven Offset-PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer to meet the requirements which were low phase noise, fast switching time and low spurious. This synthesizer had less than -131dBc/Hz@100kHz phase noise and less than $4.1{\mu}s$ switching time, respectively.

In this study, Gami-Sumiwon (GS; Cynanchi wilfordii R., Angelica gigantis R., Lycium chinense M., Betula platyphylla S., Cryptotympana atrata F. and Carthamus tinctorius L.) and/or Sinomenium acutum R. (SC) was extracted with 70% ethanol or water. And We investigated the antioxidant activity effect of GS±SC. The following experimental techniques were used to evaluate the antioxidant efficacy of GS±SC. HPLC chromatogram, heavy metal content, ABTS/DPPH radical scavenging analysis, SOD-like activity assay, FACS, and NO assay. As a result of the experiment, the sinomenine content was found to be higher in DW extracts, and decursin was found to be higher in 80% ethanol extracts. And, the amount of heavy metals in all extracts was below the standard value. ABTS, and DPPH radical scavenging activity was identified that GS±SC(EtOH) was found to have a higher scavenging activity than GS±SC(DW). But, SOD showed the opposite result. No cytotoxicity of GS was observed on Raw 264.7 cells at concentration of 1~100 ㎍/㎖. The ROS production was significantly decreased that GS±SC(DW) was found to have a higher scavenging activity than GS±SC(EtOH). However, NO production showed the opposite result. Looking at the results of SOD and ROS analysis, SC does not seem to have a function of prevention. SC is thought to have an effect on the removal of free radicals generated after oxidative stress. This result objectively confirmed the antioxidant effect of GS±SCs. We will continue to conduct in-depth research. Therefore, it is believed that the possibility of using GS±SCs as a functional material can be established. The more diverse the objectives, the higher the value of GS utilization is thought to be.

Background: There are reports that food deprivation causes emphysematous changes in the lungs of rats and humans. However, the meaning of this phenomenon in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine the correlations between the caloric intake and parameters of the lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who had visited the respiratory clinic from March, 2006 for one year were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent pulmonary function tests, and a dietitian evaluated their nutritional intake using a food record method. Results: There was no correlation between the total caloric intake and forced vital capacity (FVC, %predicted) or forced expiratory volume in one second ($FEV_1$, %predicted). The total caloric intake showed a positive correlation with the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO %predicted, DLCO/VA %predicted), and a negative correlation with the total lung capacity (TLC, %predicted). Of the calories taken, only calories from protein intake correlated with the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO %predicted, DLCO/VA %predicted). Conclusion: The total caloric intake of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease showed a positive correlation with the diffusing capacity of the lung, and a negative correlation with the total lung capacity. Further study on the linkage between the caloric intake and severity of emphysema is needed.

Purpose: This study was carried out to evaluate the liquefaction potential of the land reclamation area in Incheon by using the ProShake program for long frequency Hachinohe seismic wave and short frequency Ofunato seismic waves to interpret ground response. Method: The interpretation results and the Modified Seed and Idriss method were used to evaluate the liquefaction potential. The liquefaction potential index which proposed by Iwasaki was calculated to be used as a guide line to represent the liquefaction evaluation results at the given location. The equivalent liquefaction factor of safety presented by Kang(1999) was used as a quantitative index to draw up the mapping of liquefaction potential. Results: This paper presents the mapping of liquefaction potential for the Incheon seaside reclamation area using both the liquefaction potential index and the equivalent liquefaction factor of safety. Conclution: As a result, the mapping of liquefaction based on the liquefaction potential index and equivalent liquefaction factor of safety shows similar distribution pattern.
