The genetic variabilities of second chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster concealed in Busan natural and experimental populations have been analyzed by the Cy//Pm method. The experimental population was composed of D. melanogaster which had the lethal-free second chromosome, collected Sasang natural population in 1982. The frequencies of deleterious genes were estimated to be 14.3∼25.4% in Busan natural population and 26.5∼27.2% in experimental population. The allelism rates in lethal genes isolated from the natural and experimental populations were calculated to be about 0.76% and 9.76∼14.17%, respectively. The value of elimination by the frequencies of deleterious genes and allelism rate was 0.0106and the effective population size estimated to be about 430 flies at the 6570 days population.

Chronic diseases is being increased attention to threatening the elements healthy life of elderly population in modem society. Especially, Chronic diseases caused by diabetes and hypertension is destroyed kidney. In this case, subjective symptom is not little. So if health is worsened, hemodialysis, artificial organs, transplant an organ etc. should be treated as a dangerous diseases. Therefor, a patients receiving hemodialysis of diabetes and hypertension studied on the effects to regularity of amplitude and rate vibration of vocal cords in hemodialysis in this paper. To do this, a diabetic and hypertensive patients don't have a problem with pronunciation selected as of the subjects and their voices collected before and after hemodialysis. We studied on the effects of voice analysis to apply regularity of amplitude and rate vibration of vocal cords. In conclusion, we extracted a result that voice after than before hemodialysis is relatively low in voice measures values a regularity of amplitude and rate vibration of vocal cords.

The laboratory scale experiment was performed to evaluate the sealing capacity of the capping rock such as tuff and mudstone, measuring the intial supercritical $CO_2$ ($scCO_2$) injection pressure and the $scCO_2$-water-rock reaction for 90 days. The drilling cores sampled from 800 m in depth around the Janggi basin, Korea were used for the experiment. The mineralogical changes of mudstone and tuff were measured to evaluate the geochemical stability during the $scCO_2$-water-rock reaction at $CO_2$ storage condition (100 bar and $50^{\circ}C$). The rock core was fixed in the high pressurized stainless steel cell and was saturated with distilled water at 100 bar of pore water pressure. The effluent of the cell was connected to the large tank filled with 3 L of water and 2 L of $scCO_2$ at 100 bar, simulating the subsurface injection condition. The $scCO_2$ injection pressure, which was higher than 100 bar, was controlled at the influent port of the cell until the $scCO_2$ begin to penetrate into the rock and the initial injection pressure (> 100 bar) of $scCO_2$ into the rock was measured for each rock. The mineralogical compositions of mudstones after 90 days reaction were similar to those before the reaction, suggesting that the mudstone in the Janggi basin has remained relatively stable for the $scCO_2$ involved geochemical reaction. The initial $scCO_2$ injection pressure (${\Delta}P$) of a tuff in the Janggi basin was 15 bar and the continuous $scCO_2$ injection into the tuff core occurred at higher than 20 bar of injection pressure. For the mudstone in the Janggi basin, the initial $scCO_2$ injection pressure was higher than 150 bar (10 times higher than that of the tuff). From the results, the mudstone in Janggi basin was more suitable than the tuff to shield the $scCO_2$ leakage from the reservoir rock at subsurface.

The safety of the disposal repository for high level radioactive waste should be guaranteed for a quite long period so that the precise evaluations are required. The site characteristics of the discontinuities are essential part of the safe repository design including engineered barrier and natural barrier systems. The discontinuities act like weak planes and at the same time, they act as flow paths so that their features should be investigated thoroughly. RQD (Rock Quality Designation) is one of the most widely applied characterizing methods due to its simplicity, however, modified designations have been proposed because RQD has some drawbacks, such as its directivity and dependence on the threshold length. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of the modified designations by applying them to the rock mass around KURT and to produce fundamental database that will be utilized in future studies.

Understanding the need for temperature regulation, behavior, and ecology of hibernating bats provides the possibility of conservation and management for target species. Our objective in this study was to improve understanding of the population trend and ecological requirement in Myotis formosus population in South Korea. From 2007 to 2016, total of 58 hibernacula for Myotis formosus were found across the country. Of the 58 hibernating sites of Myotis formosus, 86% (n=49) were abandoned mines and 14% (n=8) were natural caves. During the survey period, 28 (5%) bats of total 570 bats were observed in natural caves (n=8) and 542 (95%) bats were observed in abandoned mines (n=49). The internal environments of hibernacula of M. formosus were highly stable despite dramatic variation in the external environment. Specifically, we examined the population trend of the endangered bat Myotis formosus in South Korea by long-term monitoring for hibernation sites. The population trend of endangered species M. formosus showed a marked stable in hibernating population. Our results indicate that a tightly collected long-term data set may help to establish the initial approximation of population trends and manage to threats for the endangered bat species.

This study aims at the augmentation of reliability of the long-term rainfall runoff model. To do so agricultural water uses are evaluated by analyzing the effects of small scale irrigational hydraulic structures on long term runoff processes and thereby rainfall-runoff model is modified considering them. As a result the simulation results of the sub-basins having more agricultural reservoirs than the others are disagreed with the observations. The 2nd quarter simulation results show similar trend to it. Especially the farming seasonal results of the drought year as the year of 2008 have many negative discharge values due to the lack of agricultural water uses. This result come from the water uses input data corresponding to not real water uses but water demands. In this study the formulas are derived to estimate the discharges and return ratios and the long term rainfall-runoff model is reformulated based on these. It is confirmed that the errors of the simulation results could be reduced by considering the effects of small scale irrigational hydraulic structures and the reliability of the simulation results improved greatly.

This research, with the participants of the female elderly using a home-visit bath among long-term care services, made an in-depth analysis of what they experience while getting a home-visit bath. We conducted in-depth interviews with 8 elderly people. According to the result, the female elderly experienced the absence of a caregiver, difficulty in carrying out daily life due to physical diseases, getting what they need by themselves, getting comfortable in body and mind, accepting their given situation though feeling shame at getting a bath, and expressing their desires. In addition, they had a close relationship with a care helper. On the basis of the results, a systematic training system which could intensify the professionalism of care helpers was suggested. For the enhancement of the elderly's emotional stability in a long-term care, an integrated case management system was also suggested, which supports the family by organizing an integrated network by region between a long-term care service, home-visit care service, welfare center, and the National Health Insurance Corporation.

태양광은 세계적으로 유망한 에너지 중의 하나이며, 태양광 모듈은 실제 옥외 조건에 따라 다르지만 장기 신뢰성과 수명을 보장하기 위해 최소 20년 이상을 안정적으로 작동될 필요성이 있다. 하지만 실제 태양전지는 옥외에 장기 노출됨에 따라 성능이 저하되며, 그 원인으로는 셀 균열, 부식, 접착 강도 손실 및 박리, 그리고 변색 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 부식으로 인한 성능 저하를 완화하기 위해 희생금속을 이용하여 태양전지 모듈의 성능 향상에 대해 연구하였다. 태양전지는 4 cell 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 미니 모듈을 이용하였고, 희생금속의 영향을 확인하기 위해 두 종류의 시료를 준비하였다. 한 시료에는 Al 희생금속을 태양전지 리본 위에 부착하였으며, 나머지 한 시료는 비교 시료로 Al 희생금속을 부착하지 않았다. 시료는 $85^{\circ}C$ 85%의 상대습도인 고온고습 조건에서 2500시간을 진행하였다. 그리고 2500시간의 고온고습 시험이 진행된 시료의 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 시험 결과, 희생금속이 없을 경우 28.8%의 출력 저하가 있었으며, 희생금속이 있을 경우 19.3%의 출력 저하가 확인되었다. 또한, 희생금속이 없을 경우, 충실도는 21.5% 감소하였으며, 단락전류 역시 약 6% 정도 감소하였다. 반면, 희생금속이 있을 경우, 충실도는 16.1%로 감소하였고, 단락전류는 거의 변화가 없었다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of various filter conditions on unconfined aquifer (alluvial aquifer). We made model test device which has filter layer, pumping well and observation well which consist of sand layer and gravel layer to test. Step drawdown test and long term pumping tests were carried out using the device. The permeability characteristics of each test group were confirmed and the optimal yield was calculated. As a result of comparing the optimal yield of double filter and single filter in sand, dual-filter SD-300 was valued at 216.8 % higher final optimal yield than single-filter SS-300. Comparing the dual filter SD-300 and the single filter SS-100 with a thin filter layer, dual-filter SD-300 was valued at 709.2% higher final optimal yield than single-filter SS-300. As a result of analysis of optimal yield change over time, It was confirmed that the ratio of optimal yield of single filter and dual filter increase over time. In order to evaluate the long-term change in water intake efficiency, we considered the point at which the initial optimal yield was reduced by 50%. The dual filter SD-300 is about 351.1% higher than SS-300, which is the same thickness filter, and about 579.0% higher than SS-100. From these results, Assuming that the point at which the initial quantity of water intake is reduced to 50% is the well life, double filters are expected to increase their lifespan by about 3.5 times over single filters of the same thickness and by about 5.8 times over typical single filter. These results can be used to design wells to river bank filtration or filtered seawater. In addition, it is possible to clarify the effect of the double filter through the comparison with the future field test results.

옥외 절연물은 환경에 의한 오염과 수분에 의한 젖음 현상이 항상 발생하므로 폴리머 애자의 하우징 재료의 전기방전에 대한 열화내성과 우수한 발수성의 장기간 유지특성은 제품의 장기성능에 있어서 매우 중요한 물성이다. 실리콘 고무는 내열성, 내후성, 산화안정성, 발수성 및 내오염성 동 절연소재로서 우수한 특성을 가지고 있지만 하우징 표변에서의 방전이 발생될 때 옥외절연물에서의 성능은 실리콘 고무의 배합처방에 따라서 많은 차이가 나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 내트래킹 agent인 ATH의 첨가량의 변화에 따른 재료의 특성을 조사하고, 그 특성이 실리콘 고무 폴리머 애자의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. ATH의 첨가량에 따라서 내아크성, 내트래킹성 및 표면 발수성을 조사하였고, 폴리머 애자를 내트래킹 휠 시험 및 선행오손 후 섬락전압을 측정하였다.
