To maintain traffic safety during the target lifetime of bridges, it is essential to secure an appropriate maintenance budget and allocate that budget appropriately. This paper proposes a reasonable budget allocation system that considers various impact factors to improve the conventional budget allocation method simply considering the bridge scale. The maintenance action rate model and the unit cost model based on the prior maintenance history were developed to allocate appropriately the bridge maintenance budget for the total bridges of the management organization with the target management level. A method to determine the optimal budget allocation ratio for each management subject was proposed and case analysis was conducted using the proposed model. Proper budget allocation was made considering the bridge types, current safety level, and service life as well as the bridge size as an impact factor of the budget allocation of the bridge. The developed method can prevent budget waste and provide a rational basis for budget allocation by implementing the rational budget distribution.

BACKGROUND: Recently, as the consumption of fresh jujube is increased, fertilizer in jujube cultivation is excessively used to supply nutrient for large fruit produce. This study was conducted to obtain the useful data related to optimum nutrient management technique for fresh jujube cultivation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nutrient contents of the jujube orchard soils were investigated at 30 different jujube orchards in Boeun, Chungbuk. Soil samples were collected from the different orchards in June, both 2012 and 2013. Soil chemical properties such as pH, organic matter, available phosphate, and exchangeable potassium, calcium, and magnesium were analyzed. Soil available phosphates in optimum level for jujube cultivation were 7% and 13% of total samples in the 2011 and 2012 respectively, and 73% and 57% were higher than optimum level. In Exchangeable K, 37%, 30% were optimum level, 63%, 67% were higher in the year 2011 and 2012 respectively. CONCLUSION: These results showed that nutrient contents of soils were accumulated in jujube orchard of Boeun area. Especially, available phosphate and exchangeable potassium were greatly higher than their optimum level for jujube cultivation respectively.

국내계통의 적정설비예비율은 현재까지 정부에서 제시하고 있는 일정 LOLP(Loss of Load Probability)기준 0.5(일/년)을 역으로 환산하여 결정되어진다. 그런데 현재의 LOLP의 산출은 시간별 부하변동특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 장기전원계획시 사용하고 있는 최적전산모형(WASP)의 이러한 단점을 최대한 극복할 수 있도록 분기를 조절하고 기존의 방법과는 다른 O&M cost 분류를 적용하석 각각의 결과에 따른 분석과 이러한 특성을 반영했을 경우 년도 별로 환산된 일정 신뢰도 기준하의 필요 설비예비율의 사례를 분석하였다.

계통 미연계 도서지역에 경제적으로 분산전원을 구축하기 위해서는 총 발전량 대비 적정 신재생에너지 발전 비율을 산정해야한다. 도서지역은 소규모 전력계통으로 이루어져 있어, 신재생에너지 출력의 간헐성은 계통에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문에 ESS(신재생에너지 설비용량 ${\times}$ 4h)를 설치하도록 의무화 하고 있다. ESS의 높은 설치단가는 경제성을 하락시키는 요인으로 작용하기 때문에, 적정용량의 신재생에너지 설비를 구축하는 것이 ESS로 인한 경제성 하락을 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 도서지역의 총 발전량의 30% 이상을 신재생발전으로 공급한다는 조건에서, 경제성을 고려한 신재생에너지 발전 방안을 제시한다.

Soil chemical properties of agricultural soils in Korea were investigated at four-years interval in order of paddy, plastic film house, upland, and orchard soils since 1999. Paddy soil samples were taken from the surface 15 cm at 4,047, 2,010, 2,110 and 2,110 sites in all provinces of South Korea in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2010, respectively. Soil chemical properties in Korea except Jeju province were measured. Soil pH and exchangeable calcium and available silicate contents increased with increasing the application rate of silicate fertilizer and with decreasing its application interval. Soil organic matter content also increased from $22.0g\;kg^{-1}$ in 1999 to $26.0g\;kg^{-1}$ in 2011. Average concentration of available phosphate in 2011 was higher than the upper limit of its optimal range for rice cultivation. However, exchangeable magnesium and available silicate contents were below the lower limit of their optimal ranges, which were 80% and 92% of them, respectively.

Radiation therapy for lung cancer is an effective treatment during monotherapy or combination therapy. Studies have reported that the optimum utilization rate of radiation therapy is estimated at 61% to 74%. Radiation therapy in Korea has been investigated to be low; further studies are needed. This study was intended to assess the appropriateness of the use of radiation and to reveal the use of radiation therapy-related factors by examining radiation therapy in lung cancer patients of Busan and South Gyeongnam Province. This study was aimed at the population diagnosed with lung cancer in Busan and South Gyeongnam Province. To conduct the study, 1036 patients enrolled in two hospitals were collected and 897 appropriate as subjects were selected. We compared the optimum utilization rate and actual rate of radiation therapy, and revealed the adequacy and related factors for use of radiotherapy. Of 897 patients, 503 (56%) were treated with medical therapy and 394 (44%) were given radiotherapy. The radiotherapy utilization rate of all lung cancer patients was 42%. The proportion of non-small cell lung cancer by histologic type was 33% and that of small cell lung cancer was 90%. Factors related to radiation therapy used in cancer were age, histological type, clinical stage, doctor refereed to, and clinical examination. Compared to radiation utilization by region (site), curative chest therapy was 42%; palliative treatment was 26%. In the comparison of histologic types, utilization of small-cell lung cancer is lower; the lowest especially in the stage III. Utilization of radiation therapy in Busan and South Gyeongnam Province was lower than the reasonable one. Utilization difference could be explained by patient factors, tumor factors, and health service factors. To improve utilization,development ofoutreach service programs and activation of the multidisciplinary team are required.

Since the percentage of vehicles equipped with Hi-pass, an electronic toll collecting device, has increased rapidly, it is very crucial to determine the optimal location of Hi-pass lanes at a toll plaza in terms of traffic control and operation. In this study, the appropriateness of existing Hi-pass lanes of a toll plaza is evaluated considering its physical geometry and traffic characteristics. A new evaluating criterion called "traffic dispersion rate" is developed in order to measure the level of traffic spreading across the toll booth lanes at a toll plaza. Logistic regression models are constructed to estimate the relationship between the traffic dispersion rate and its affecting variables. The model estimation results show that several variables including Hi-pass lane traffic volume, length of toll plaza, entering/exiting taper lengths, and locations of Hi-pass lanes. The results also suggest that traffic dispersion rate can be increased by adjusting the location of Hi-pass lanes. The study enables us to quantify traffic dispersion rate which can be used to optimize the location and operation of Hi-pass lanes at toll plazas.

This study was conducted to investigate the anti-oxidative abilities of certain products in Ulleungdo, such as sweet pumpkin (Danhobak), goat's beard (Samnamul), and Aster glegni (Bugigangyi), quality characteristics of sweet pumpkin taffy containing these products. Total polyphenolic contents of the Samnamul water and ethanol extracts were 2.95 mg% and 3.57 mg%, respectively, whereas those of the Bugigangyi water and ethanol extracts were 2.77 mg% and 2.75 mg, respectively. However, the total polyphenolic contents of the pumpkin water and ethanol extracts were 0.32 mg%. Reducing power ($OD_{700}$) of the Samnamul and Bugigangyi water and ethanol extracts (0.01%, w/v) was in the range of 1.62~1.91, which was higher compared to those of sweet pumpkin (0.02~0.03). Electron donating abilities (EDA) of the 0.01% Samnamul and Bugigangyi water and ethanol extracts were in the range of 74.91~79.21%, whereas those of the sweet pumpkin water and ethanol extracts were 3.79~14.99%. Optimum mixing ratio of steamed sweet pumpkin and water taffy for the preparation of taffy was 25:75 (w/w), as evaluated by sensory evaluation. Optimum adding ratio of Samanmul and Bugigangyi ethanol extracts to pumpkin taffy were 0.4% and 3%, respectively. However, the adding ratios of Samanmul and Bugigangyi powder to pumpkin taffy were 0.5~1.0% (w/w) and 1% (w/w), respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the proper nitrogen fertilizer level at reclaimed saline land in the southwestern area of Korea from 2002 to 2004. The rice cultivars tested were Samcheonbyeo(Early maturing one), Nampyeongbyeo (Medium maturing one) and Hwaseongbyeo(Mid-late maturing one). The results aye summarized as follows: The more the nitrogen level, the more number of panicle and spikelet per unit area was. But, ripened grain rate and 1000-grain weight were decreased at higher nitrogen level. As higher nitrogen level, head rice rate was decreased and protein content was increased. But, amylose content wasn't differ among the nitrogen fertilizer application levels. As increase nitrogen level in head rice yield increased up to 12 kg/10a, 11 kg/10a, in Samcheonbyeo, Hwaseongbyeo and Nampyeongbyeo, respectively. But there wasn't different more than it. Consequently, considering the yield of head rice, ripened grain rate and rice quality. The proper nitrogen fertilizer application level was 11-12 kg/10a at reclaimed saline land in the southwestern area of Korea.
