This study was performed randomly from all the patients who visited the University Hospital in Gyeonggi-do from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 for the abdominal CT scan. We divided the patients into three groups and evaluated the extent of effective dose and image quality according to the area of the abdominal CT image. As a result, the effective dose was 7.34 mSv in the average area group, 8.39 mSv in the average area and 5.89 mSv in the average area. For the analysis of image quality, ROI was plotted in the same three regions according to the abdominal area. As a result, CT values were significantly different in the abdominal area classified into 3 groups (p <0.05). The results of this study can be used as a basic data for the development of a protocol that can be applied in actual clinical practice. It is thought that it can help to reduce the image quality and the radiation dose.

1992년 6월부터 1993년 9월 동안에 서울에서 이루어진 바랭이와 잔디의 분지형(branching pattern)과 유효엽면적(effective leaf area)에 대한 정량적 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 분지 끝 지점의 2차원적인 위치는 수학적 방식을 이용한 이론적 모델에 의해 분지사이의 각과 분지 길이들이 상대적인 비를 이용하여 계산할 수 있다. 2. 분지각과 분지길이의 상대적인 비는 바랭이나 잔디의 개체와 군락의 전체적인 구조를 효과적으로 분석하는데 있어 매우 적절하게 사용될 수 있다. 3. 시간에 따라 변화되는 분지형을 명확히 분석하기 위해 positive feedback theory를 성장 분석 모델로 적용하였다. 4. 분지의 마디 배열은 봄에서 여름에 이르는 생장 기간동안에 변화됨을 나타내었다. 주지(mother branch)와 복지(daughter branch)사이의 각은 적정치에 수렴하는 양상을 보였으며 그 평균값은 바랭이가 50도, 잔디가 59도임을 알 수 있었다. 5. 야외에서 관찰된 실험적 측정치아 모식적 구성을 통해서 최대 물질 생산과 연관된 햇빛 흡수와 수용의 극대화를 위한 분지형과 최대 유효엽면적의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 6. 따라서 수학적 모식을 이용한 분지형 분석은 실험적 측정치와 잘 일치하며, 이런 수관형의 형성은 유전적 요소와 환경적 요소에 의해 영향을 받을 뿐만 아니라 식물의 적응적 중요성을 지니는 유효잎면적, 관수용 및 광합성과 물질생산의 극대화를 분석하는데도 유효하게 쓰일 수 있다.

The linear compressor has lately attracted considerable attention because of its low power consumption and excellent efficiency. For an efficient design, it is necessary to develop an analytical model of the linear compressor. The effective flow and force areas are important parameters to describe the behavior of the linear compressor, which are used to determine the mass flow rates through the valving systems and the forces on the valves, respectively. It is not easy to estimate these parameters because shapes of the valve systems of the linear compressor are so different from those of tile conventional valve systems. In this paper, we suggest method to measure experimentally the effective discharge flow and force areas of the linear compressor and analyze valve characteristic to apply the experimental results to their theoretical model.

The NRCS-CN method is generally applied for estimating effective rainfalls in practice, in which the basin-averaged CN is normally used. In order to develop a more appropriate method for estimating effective rainfalls in a basin, this study compared estimated effective rainfalls from two distinct methods with the observed direct runoff. The first method is to estimate the basin-representative effective rainfall using the basin-averaged CN (hereafter, effective rainfall I), whereas the second method to estimate the basin-averaged effective rainfall through areal-averaging sub-area effective rainfalls corresponding to the soil type and landuse type (hereafter, effective rainfall II). The overall results indicated that the effective rainfall II was higher than the effective rainfall I and closer to the observed direct runoff. The study also performed error analyses to verify that the effective rainfall II can be applied in practice in a basin as more accurate estimate of basin-representative effective rainfall.

본 연구는 인성지수에 의하여 섬유보강 콘크리트의 인성을 평가하는 기존의 여러 가지 방법을 검토하는, 하중-처짐곡선에서 초기균열시까지의 여러 가지 다른 곱으로 나타내어지는 방법의 불합리성을 지적하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 유효인성이라고 부르는 새로운 방법을 강섬유 보강콘크리트의 인성을 평가하는데 제안하였다. 이는 초기균열을 가진 3점 휨강도 시험에 의한 하중-처짐곡선에서 지간의 1/150까지의 면적을 ligament면적으로 나눈값으로 나타낸다. 이 방법을 사용하여 강섬유 보강 고강도 콘크리트 인성특성을 검토한 결과 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 인성을 평가할 수 있었다.

Using the stratifying clip method, we examine the differences in vertical distribution of leaf area and its relationships with dry matter production were investigated in the primary swards of six varieties. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The varieties could be classified into 4 different types according to their of vertical distribution of leaf area within the canopy. Thus, M had a greater leaf area distribution in the base layers and became smaller towards the upper layers, Leto, First and Bundy had the leaf area distribution which was most abundant in the middle layers and became smaller towards the base and the upper layers, Tammisto had a greater leaf area distribution in the middle layers and intensively distributed to the upper layers, and Trader had the relatively uniform leaf area distribution over all layers. 2. Effective leaf area index(ELAI) correlated with leaf area index(LAI), dry weight of plant(DW), stem weight of plant(SW) and stem area index(SAI). 3. The variety with the heading tiller type had the effective leaf area intensively distributed to the upper layers of canopy, but the vegetative type showed a high ratio of effective leaf area index. 4. Varietal differenced was found between the effective leaf area and specific leaf weight(SLW) in each stratum above the layer indicating the highest leaf area density within the canopy. M and Trader had a highly negative significant correlation, but the other varieties was not significant correlation.

This study was to analyze a total of 18,068 farm reservoirs in Korea with their basic measures, and estimate their average characteristics. These characteristics have also been compared with those of foreign countries. Histograms of seven measures(approval area, beneficial area, watershed area, effective storage, full water area, dam length, and dam height) of reservoirs are made to characterize their distributions and to apply the Pareto analysis with the power law to evaluate their inequalities. The histogram analysis shows that the measures of dam(channel cross-section) characteristics follow the log-normal distributions, on the other hand, those of the basin characteristics the exponential-type distributions. Pareto analysis was done for the five measures of having exponential distribution. The Pareto exponents estimated are 0.38 for the approval area, 0.42 for the beneficial area, -0.19 for the effective storage, 0.30 for the watershed area, and 0.22 for the full water area, so the inequality of the beneficial area is the highest and that of the effective storage is the lowest. Analysis of morphology index versus watershed area shows that most reservoirs are categorized into deep or normal ones. These characteristics are also found to be similar to those of foreign countries.

The impervious cover ratio has been used as an important measure for tracing water environment characteristics in watershed. Impervious cover is divided into total impervious cover and effective impervious cover, and its size varies depending on the land use characteristics of a watershed. Total impervious cover can be easily measured using existing land use maps or land cover map, while it takes a considerable amount of time and labor to measure the effective impervious cover, as water flow should be identified at each site. This study is intended to calculate the total impervious cover and effective cover of a sample site, compare their characteristics, and find a method to apply effective and total impervious cover ratios toward watershed management. The analysis of the sample site showed that the effective impervious cover rate(39.7%) was less than the total impervious cover rate(43%). This suggests that it would be acceptable, in terms of time and cost, if total impervious cover is applied as the representative impervious cover ratio of a watershed considering that it was used as basic data to analyze the effect that impervious cover has on the water environment.

We try to evaluate the stock level of Korean transportation infrastructure comparing Korean SOC stock level with those of OECD countries. In order to do so, we work on indices to show the transportation infrastructure stock levels of various countries. Among several indices, we select the effective road-extension rate per population density and the effective railroad-extension rate per population density corresponding to road and railroad. We compare Korean road and railroad stock levels with those of OECD countries, to make use of the effective road-extension rate per population density and effective railroad-extension rate per population density. We choose the Britain, Greece, Portugal, and Sweden to compare Korea because their sizes of population and territory are similar to those of Korea. Using International comparison, we arrive at the conclusion that Korean road and railroad stock levels are 63.4% and 53.2% of those of four countries respectively. In addition, we estimate the target level of road and railroad stocks and compute the target level of investments in road and railroad based on the result.
