Wide ranges of fission-track (FT) ages were obtained from the Jurassic granite batholith in Jeonju-Gimje-Jeongeup area, southwestern Okcheon Belt: sphene=158~70 Ma; zircon=127~71 Ma; apatite=72~46 Ma. Thermochronological analyses based on undisturbed primary cooling and reset or partially-reduced FT ages, and some track-length data reveal complicated thermal histories of the granite. The overall cooling of the batholith is characterized by a relatively rapid earlier-cooling (${\sim}20^{\circ}/Ma$) to $300^{\circ}C$ isotherm since its crystallization and a very slow later-cooling ($2.0{\sim}1.5^{\circ}/Ma$) through the $300^{\circ}C-200^{\circ}C-100^{\circ}C$ isotherms to the present surface temperature. It is indicated that the large part of Jurassic granitic body experienced different level of elevated temperatures at least above $170^{\circ}C$ (maximum>$330^{\circ}C$) by a series of igneous activities in late Cretaceous. Consistent FT zircon ages from duplicate measurements for two sites of later igneous bodies define their formation ages: e.g., quartz porphyry=$73{\pm}3Ma$; diorite=$73{\pm}2Ma$; rhyolite=$72{\pm}3Ma$; feldspar porphyry=$78{\pm}4Ma$ (total weighted average=$73{\pm}3Ma$). Intrusions of these later igneous bodies and pegmatitic dyke swarms might play important roles in later thermal rise over the study area including hot-spring districts (e.g., Hwasim, Jukrim, Mogyokri, Hoebong etc.). On the basis of an assumption that the latercooling of granite batholith was essentially controlled by the denudation of overlying crust, the uplift since early Cretaceous was very slow with a mean rate of ~0.05 mm/year (i.e., ~50 m/Ma). Estimates of total uplifts since 100 Ma, 70 Ma and 40 Ma to present-day are ~5 km, ~3.5 km and ~2 km, respectively. The consistent values of total uplifts from different locations may suggest a regional plateau uplift with a uniform rate over the whole granitic body.

The second scientific antarctic station of South Korea is under construction at Terra Nova Bay located in eastern Antarctica. Ground condition in the Antarctica is frozen in general, but there are seasonal frozen grounds with active layers sporadically. When the active layer is frozen, frost heaving occurs that might cause the differential movement of frozen ground and the failure of structures. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the frost heaving susceptibility of soils at Terra Nova Bay before starting antarctic station construction. This study presents experimental investigation of the frost heaving susceptibility of soil samples with variation of particle sizes and unfrozen water contents. The soil samples were taken from five different locations at Terra Nova Bay and physical properties, unfrozen water content, and frost heaving tests were performed. For the frost heaving tests, soil specimens were frozen with constant freezing temperatures at the top and with drainage at the bottom in order to stimulate the frost heaving. The frost heaving tests provide volume expansion, volumetric strain, and heaving rate which can be used to analyze the relationship between the frost heaving vs. particle size and the frost heaving vs. unfrozen water content. Experimental results show that the more the fine contents exist in soils, the more frost heaving occurs. In addition, the frost heaving depends on unfrozen water content. Experimental data can be used to evaluate the frost heaving susceptibility of soils at the future construction site in the Antarctica.

As the global large-scale infrastructure construction market expands, the construction of civil engineering structures in extreme environments such as cold or hot regions is being planned or constructed. Accordingly, the construction of the pile foundation is essential to secure the bearing capacity of the upper structure, but there is a concern about loss of stability and function of the pile foundation due to the possibility of ground deformation in extreme cold and hot regions. Therefore, in this study, a new type of pile foundation is developed to respond with the deformation of the ground, and the ground deformation that can occur in extreme cold and hot region is largely divided into heaving and settlement. The new type of pile foundation is a form in which a cylinder capable of shrinkage and expansion is inserted inside the steel pipe pile, and the effect of the cylinder during the heaving and settlement process was analyzed numerically. As a result of the numerical analysis, the ground heaving caused excessive tensile stress of the pile, and the expansion condition of the cylinder shared the tensile stress acting on the pile and reduced the axial stress acting on the pile. Ground settlement increased the compressive stress of the pile due to the occurrence of negative skin friction. The cylinder must be positioned below the neutral point and behave in shrinkage for optimum efficiency. However, the amount and location of shrinkage and expansion of cylinder must comply with the allowable displacement range of the upper structure. It is judged that the design needs to be considered.

지구온난화에 의해 전세계적으로 평균해수면이 상승하고 있는데, 이는 지반의 융기 또는 침강 등을 비롯한 여러가지 지역적 차이 때문에 지역적으로 적지 않은 차이를 보이고 있다. 분석결과에 따르면 서남해안은 $1\~3mm/yr$ 정도의 비슷한 값을 보이고 있으며 제주도의 경우 $3\~5mm/yr$로 서남해안 지역에 비하여 약간 큰 값을 보이는 등 전지구적 상승량인 $1\~2mm/yr$ 보다는 다소 크게 나타나고 있다. 이와 함께 방조제와 같은 해안구조물 건설에 의해서도 평균해수면 뿐 아니라 고조위 및 저조위의 변화가 유발된다. 서남해안에서는 군산항과 목포항에서 특히 방조제 건설후에 각각 조위상승과 조석확폭현상이 발생하여 만조위 상승이 유발된 것으로 나타나고 있는데, 여기에 기인하여 목포 인근해역에서는 침식현상이 초래되고 있을 뿐 아니라 연중 해수면 변화가 심해짐에 따라 고극조위가 더욱 커져 저지대 범람이 특히 우려되고 있는 실정이다.

Frost heave occurs when ground temperature decreases under $0^{\circ}C$ and soil volume expands, which causes roadway and buried pipe line failure due to differential heaving. There are several models to predict volumetric strain caused by frost heave, but they requires expertises who have professional background and experience related to numerical analysis. This study presents an evaluation method to predict volumetric strain caused by frost heave with fundamental physical properties of soils. The evaluation method is assessed with experimental results.

Objective : This study evaluated the differences between the upper and lower arm activities of the affected and non-affected sides in stroke patients performing activities of daily living. It was intended to gather basic data for the measurement of daily activities. Methods : The participants in the study consisted of 20 patients, 10 had left hemiplegia and 10 had right hemiplegia. Between September and November 2017, they performed drinking and dressing as unimanual and bimanual tasks. The 3-axes accelerometers were placed 2cm below the lateral epicondyle on the upper arm and 2cm below the radial styloid on the lower arm. The data were collected at intervals of 1/32 Hz and analyzed. Results : In patients with right hemiplegia, the tendon activity was significantly higher in the lower arm when performing a bimanual activity (p<.05), for all the other activities, those of the lower arm were significantly higher than those of the upper arm (p<.01, p<.05). There was no significant difference between the unimanual and bimanual activities of the affected and tendon sides in patients with left hemiplegia (p>.05). In both hands, the activity of the lower arm was significantly higher than that of the activities of the upper and lower arms, except on the affected side (p<.05). In all patients, the activities of the upper and lower arms were significantly higher (p<.05), and the activity of the lower arm was significantly higher than that of the upper (p<.001, p<.05). Conclusion : The activity was higher on the non-affected side than the affected side during the dressing task, and the overall activity was higher in the lower arm than the upper arm.

This research has focused on identifying a significant cause of the pavement cracks and irregularities of roads in Changwon city which have been constructed using steel slag, an auxiliary-based material. It is important to note that the cracks and irregularities yield logistics inconvenience, the risk of traffic accidents, and increased road maintenance costs. X-ray diffraction analysis tests have been conducted in this study on the sample collected by pavement cutting and excavating the three target roads. It is well known that the primary cause of the expansion of steelmaking slag is the hydration reaction between CaO and MaO. While the reaction of CaO is completed within a few months, that of MgO is pretty slow depending on the firing temperature. The test results reveal that the MgO content of the testing samples is approximately 47% of the total average, and that of CaO is around 14% of the total average. Hence, these results make it possible to be understood that the expansion induced by the slow hydration reaction of MgO results in road uplift in the long term, resulting in the cracks and irregularities of roads.

In proteomics research, proteins are digested into peptides by an enzyme and in mass spectrometer, these peptides break into fragment ions to generate tandem mass spectra. The tandem mass spectral data obtained from the mass spectrometer consists of the molecular weights of the precursor ion and fragment ions. The precursor ion mass of tandem mass spectrum is the first value that is fetched to sort the candidate peptides in the database search. We look far the peptide sequences whose molecular weight matches with precursor ion mass of the mass spectrum. Then, we choose one peptide sequence that shows the best match with fragment ions information. The precursor ion mass of the tandem mass spectrum is compared with that of the digested peptides of protein database within the mass tolerance that is assigned by users according to the mass spectrometer accuracy. In this study, we used reversed sequence database method to analyze the molecular weight distribution of precursor ions of the tandem mass spectra obtained by the FT LTQ mass spectrometer for human plasma sample. By reinterpreting the precursor ion mass distribution, we could compute the experimental accuracy and we suggested a method to improve the protein identification performance.
