Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of palliative gastrojejunostomy for treating patients with unresectable stage IV gastric cancer, and as compared with laparotomy for treating patients with incurable gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 167 patients who could not undergo resection without obstruction at Korea University Hospital from 1984 to 2007. They were classified into two groups, one that underwent palliative gastrojejnostomy (the bypass group, n=62) and one that underwent explo-laparotomy (the O&C group, n=105), and the clinical data and operative outcomes were compared according to the groups. Results: For the clinical characteristics, there were no differences of age, gender and liver metastasis between the bypass group and the explo-laparotomy group, but there was a significant different for the presence of peritoneal metastasis (P=0.001). There was no difference between two groups for the postoperative mortality and morbidity. For the postoperative outcomes, the duration of the hospital stay (29.25 vs 16.67) and the frequency of re-admission were not different, but the median overall survival (4.3 months vs. 3.4 months, respectively) was significantly different. By multivariate analysis, the presence of peritoneal metastasis was identified as the independent prognostic factor for incurable gastric cancer. Conclusion: A prophylactic bypass procedure is not effective for improving the quality of life and prolonging the life expectancy of unresectable stage IV gastric cancer patients without obstruction.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of Land Surface Model (LSM) and global spatial and weather data. After selecting the appropriate LSM, we evaluated the calculation ability of the model for dam basins. Based on the global meteorological and topography data, the accuracy of runoff results were analysed to assess the uncertainty of global data. Period analysis was performed to suggest the global data utilization. The model results by using local data are within the acceptable range reflecting the local complex meteorological and topographical characteristics. Although the accuracy of the simulated results from global data is not good by the uncertainty of meteorological data, it indicated that the accuracy can be improved with increasing duration of runoff analysis over 10 days.

To develop onion processing, this study investigated the change in physicochemical properties of onion Jangaji with processing age in relation to the composition of the maturation solution (the solution). The Brix of onion Jangaji and the solution was high with addition of a high soy sauce ratio. During processing the salinity of onion Jangaji and the solution increased, and the pH decreased. The "L", "a", "b" color values of onion Jangaji and the solution changed slightly, and the total acidityrose slowly. The hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness of onion Jangaji varied. In the sensory evaluation, the 100% sauce maturation solution received the highest acceptability ratings for color, flavor and taste.

금강유역에 대한 기후변화 영향을 기후모형 및 수자원영향평가모형을 통하여 정량적으로 분석하기 위하여 한반도 최적 GCM모형으로 기상청에서 제공하는 ECHO-G GCM모형과 역학적 다운스케일링 기법을 이용한 공간해상도 27km의 지역규모의 MM5 RCM모형을 이용하였다. A1B시나리오 기반으로 고해상도 기후변화 시나리오를 작성하여 분석기간을 2015년대(2001-2030), 2045년대(2031-2060), 2075년대(2061-2090)로 구분하여 미래 연평균강수량, 기온 등을 전망하였고, 과거 30년 자료의 100년빈도 강수량과 미래의 100년 빈도강수량의 변동성을 평가하였다. 기본적으로 GCM 및 RCM은 시공간적 스케일의 상이성으로 인해 수자원 영향 평가를 위한 자료로서 직접적인 이용은 현실적으로 곤란하다는 점에서 본 연구에서는 RCM 격자자료를 유역단위에서 강우관측소 지점 단위로 공간적 Downscaling을 실시하였으며 RCM 월자료에 대해서 일단위 자료로 시간적 Downscaling을 수행하여 기후모델로부터 발생하는 시공간적 스케일의 문제점을 극복하였다. 또한 유역단위의 상세수문시나리오를 생산하기 위해서 다지점 비정상성 Downscaling 기법을 활용하여 기존 일강수량 모의기법에서 간과 되었던 비정상성을 고려하여 미래 기후변화에 따른 강수사상의 변동성을 다양한 방법으로 검토하였다. 2001년~2006년 기간동안 SWAT모형을 이용하여 용담댐유역 용담댐 지점의 유입량과 SWAT의 최종방류부의 유량분석값을 비교한 결과 모의치와 실측치가 90.1% 일치하는 것으로 나타났고, 천천수위관측소 지점의 유량을 모형결과와 비교분석 한 결과에서도 91.3% 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 대청댐 지점의 유입량과 SWAT의 최종방류부의 유량분석값을 비교한 결과 모의치와 실측치가 84.4% 일치하는 것으로 나타나 금강유역내 용담댐 및 대청댐을 대상으로 유출분석 검토 결과 적용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 기후변화 분석기간은 2011년부터 2090년까지 80년을 대상기간 으로 선정하였으며, 분석결과 2011~2020년 사이 유출량이 18%증가하는 것으로 전망되었다.

지금까지 이수유량의 산정은 공급의 안정성을 보장하고자 보수적인 관리체계를 유지해왔다. 시공간적 하천유량의 변동에도 최대 용수수요를 만족할 수 있게끔 기준갈수량을 기준으로 이수유량을 산정하였다. 이는 공급의 안정성은 보장되나 연중 동일 기준을 적용하여 홍수기와 같이 물량이 많은 경우에 있어서 추가적인 유량사용이 불가능하였다. 이에 따라 기존 방법의 단점을 보완하고 시 공간적인 하천유량의 변화를 고려하여 가용수량을 확보하며 물사용 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있는 방안 모색이 필요하다. 이에 선행 연구인 시 공간적 유량변화를 반영한 탄력적인 하천수 사용허가 기준유량 설정방법에서는 홍수기/이수기, 관개기/비관개기를 고려하여 4개의 기간 구분하였다. 본 연구에서는 이수기/홍수기 구분을 제외하고 시기별 변화가 큰 농업용수 사용 시기를 기준으로 관개기/비관개기만을 고려하여 이수 유량의 산정방안을 검토하였으며, 이를 통해 각 기간별로 안정적인 공급이 가능한 기준유량 산정방법을 제시하여 기존의 방법을 개선하고자 한다. 위방법론을 적용한 결과, 기간별 탄력적인 기준유량의 산정으로 수량확보시설을 설치하지 않고 관리기준을 변경하는 것만으로 금호강 유역에서는 약 56.6백만$m^3$/년, 내성천 유역에서는 약 43.4백만$m^3$/년의 유량을 확보 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 추가적인 인프라를 구축하지 않고 관리기준을 변경하는 것만으로 가용유량의 추가 확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 탄력적 이수유량 산정 방법을 통해 확보된 수량은 신규 수원 확보 사업의 추진 및 이를 위한 예산 확보 등의 정책적인 어려움을 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 될 수 있으며, 또한 용수공급 안정도를 유지하면서 하천수의 효율적인 활용에도 기여할 수 있다.

일반적으로 수문빈도해석은 치수계획 수립에 이용되는 설계강수량, 계획홍수량 등을 산정하기 위해 연최대치계열 또는 연초과치계열 자료를 이용한 극치빈도해석을 수행하고, 확률분포의 우측꼬리(right tail) 부분을 이용하여 확장된 재현기간에 해당하는 확률수문량을 추정한다. 하지만 가뭄 관련 분석에서는 확률분포의 좌측꼬리(left tail) 부분은 이용해 확장된 재현기간별 확률수문량을 추정해야할 경우가 발생한다. 또한 물관리 실무에서 장 단기 운영계획 수립을 위해 이용하는 갈수빈도 유입량 산정 등에서도 평년보다 작은 수문량에 대한 빈도해석이 필요한 경우가 있다. 국가 가뭄정보분석센터에서는 기존에 K-water연구원에서 개발한 빈도해석 프로그램인 K-FAT의 분석모듈을 이용해 극소치계열 또는 갈수빈도 유입량 분석에 특화된 가뭄빈도해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 프로그램은 GEV, Gumbel, Weibull 등 14개의 확률분포형을 포함하며, 모멘트법, 최우도법 및 L-모멘트법을 사용하여 매개변수를 추정한다. 적합도 검정의 경우 χ², K-S, CVM, PPCC 및 수정 Anderson-Darling test를 이용하여 다각적인 검정을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 분석을 위한 입력 자료의 경우 사용자가 전처리를 통해 준비한 연최소치계열 등 연도별 시계열자료를 이용할 수 있으며, 일단위 및 월단위의 강수량 또는 댐 유입량 자료를 이용해 사용자가 원하는 기간의 누적강수량, 평균 유입량으로 변환할 수 있는 자료변환 기능을 추가하여 실무 활용성을 높였다. 또한 최적 확률분포 선정을 위해 참고할 수 있도록 AIC(Akaike information criteria)와 BIC(Bayesian information criteria) 분석이 포함되어 있으며, Bootstrap 기법 등을 이용한 불확실성 산정을 통해 추정 값의 신뢰구간을 표시하도록 하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 베타버전 시험배포를 거쳐 가뭄정보포털을 통해 배포할 예정이다.

The generation of construction waste can be divided into a decommissioning phase and a new construction phase, and most of the waste is generated at the decommissioning stage. However, recently, domestic new construction construction has expanded to 150 trillion yards per year, so construction work is increasing rapidly. Especially, as the size of the construction work with much waste of construction waste exceeds 100 trillion, the management of the amount of construction waste in the new construction site is required. Unlike the dismantling work site, the new construction site can separate waste generated by each property, and relatively low foreign matter content is generated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of construction waste generated by new construction sites and to calculate the unit amount of construction waste based on this. In addition, since the existing unit cost is centered on concrete and mixed waste, we set the basic unit by setting synthetic resin, waste wood, and waste board as additional items. The basic unit survey was carried out to investigate the wastes according to the characteristics of each construction period. As a result of the survey, the new construction site showed that most wastes were discharged in the first 30% and after 70% of the process, and the ratio of mixed construction waste was as high as 45%. As a result of this study, it was found that about twice as much waste was produced as compared with the conventional standard product.

This study investigated the influences of reciprocal peer tutoring strategy and field independencedependence in the instruction enhancing student questions by using weekly reports. Seventh graders (N=152) from a middle school were assigned to WR (weekly reports) and WR-RPT (weekly reports-reciprocal peer tutoring) groups. Students were taught about ‘three states of matter', ‘motion of molecules', and ‘change of states and thermal energy for eighteen class hours and wrote weekly reports six times for the period. The students in the WR-RPT group also conducted reciprocal peer tutoring with the questions of weekly reports which they wrote. The results revealed that the scores of the WR-RPT group were significantly higher than those of the WR group in a conception test regardless of students' field independence-dependence. The field dependent students in the WR-RPT group performed better in an achievement test than those in WR group, while there was no significant difference for the field independent stu dents between the two groups. Additionally, field independent students in each group scored significantly higher than field dependent students in the two tests. Many students, especially having more field independence in the WR-RPT group, perceived WR-RPT positively.

The objective of this study was to analyze the flood stage considering the uncertainty caused by the river roughness coefficients and discharge. The methodology of this study involved the GLUE (Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation) to quantify the uncertainty bounds applying three different storm events. The uncertainty range of the roughness was 0.025~0.040. In case of discharge, the uncertainty stemmed from parameters in stage-discharge rating curve, if h represents stage for discharge Q, which can be written as $Q=A(h-B)^C$. Parameters in rating curve (A, B and C) were estimated by non-linear regression model and assumed by t distribution. The range of parameters in rating curve was 5.138~18.442 for A, -0.524~0.104 for B and 2.427~2.924 for C. By sampling 10,000 parameter sets, Monte Carlo simulations were performed. The simulated stage value was represented by 95% confidence interval. In storm event 1~3, the average bound was 0.39 m, 0.83 m and 0.96 m, respectively. The peak bound was 0.52 m, 1.36 m and 1.75 m, respectively. The recurrence year of each storm event applying the frequency analysis was 1-year, 10-year and 25-year, respectively.

Background : Hepatocellular carcinomoma is the 3rd most common malignancy and the 2nd most common cause of death in Korea. The prediction of life-expectancy in terminal cancer patients is a major problem for patients, families, and physicians. We would like to investigate the prognostic factors of hepatocellular carcinoma, and therefore contribute to the prediction of the survival time of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods : A total of 91 patients(male 73, female 18) with hepatocellular carcinoma who were admitted to the hospital between January and lune 1995 were entered into the study, and data were collected prospectively on 28 clinical parameters through medical obligation record. We surveyed an obligation and local district office records, and confirmed the surivival of patients till July, 1996. Using Cox-proportional hazard model, give the significant variables related to survival. These determined prognostic factors. Life regressional analysis was used, there were calculated predicted survival day based on combinations of the significant prognostic factors. Results : 1) Out of 91 patients, 73 were male, and 18 were female. The mean age was $56.7{\pm}10.6$ ears. During the study, except for 16 patients who could not follow up, out of 75 patients, the number of deaths was 57(76%) and the number of survivals was 18(24%). 2) Out of the 28 clinical parameters, the prognostic factors related to reduced survival rate were prothrombin time<40%(relative risk:10.8), weight loss(RR:4.4), past history of hypertension (RR:3.2), ascites(RR:2.8), hypocalcemia(RR:2.5)(P<0.001). 3) Out of five factors, the survival day is 1.7 in all of five, $4.2{\sim}10.0$ in four, $10.4{\sim}41.9$ in three, $29.5{\sim}118.1$ in two, $124.0{\sim}296.6$ in one, 724.0 in none. Conclusion : In hepatocellular carcinoma we found that the prognostic factors related to reduce survival rate were prolonged prothrombin time(<40%), weight loss, past history of hypertension, ascites, and hypocalcemia(<8.7mg/dl). The five prognostic factors enabled the prediction of life-expectancy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and may assist in managing patients with hepatocellular carcinomal.
