안정적인 취수원의 역할을 할 수 있는 중·대규모의 하천이 없는 연안 및 산간지역의 경우 생활용수 등 각종 용수의 확보를 위하여 지하수자원을 활발히 이용하고 있다. 수문순환의 측면에서 대수층 내 지하수자원은 다양한 경로로 함양되는데, 주변에 물 교환이 활발히 발생하지 않는 연안 및 산간지역의 경우 지하수자원의 주된 함양원은 강수 형태로 내린 물이라고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 최근 전세계적으로 기후변화로 인한 강수패턴의 변화가 발생하고 있고, 특히 국내의 경우 연 총 강수량이 증가하나 무강우일수 및 무강우지속일수의 증가, 강우강도의 증가(기상청, 2018)와 토지이용특성 및 지표면 특성이 변화하면서 지표면 유출량이 증가함에 따라 수문순환의 불균형이 발생하고 있다. 이는 주된 취수원으로 지하수자원에 의존할 수 밖에 없는 연안 및 산간지역의 수자원 확보에 큰 위협이 될 수 있고, 미래 안정적인 수자원 확보가 어려운 상황에 직면할 수 있는 상태이다. 따라서 기존의 하천 위주의 유역 관리계획 수립에서 나아가 가뭄 발생 시 물 부족에 시달리고 있는 연안 및 산간지역의 수자원 관리 및 확보 계획 수립에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안정적인 수자원 확보와 이를 위한 관리 계획의 사각지역에 놓여있는 국내 연안 및 산간지역의 수자원 관리 방안 수립을 위한 초석을 다지기 위하여, 연안 및 산간지역을 대상으로 지하수위 관리 취약성 평가 연구를 수행하였다. 연안 및 산간지역의 주된 취수원인 지하수자원의 주요 평가 인자로 지하수위를 선정하였고, 이에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수문순환 요소와 인구, 토지이용 특성 등의 평가 인자를 선정하였다. 지표수-지하수 연계와 지역특성을 고려한 수자원 변동 특성을 분석하기 위하여 수문순환 요소간 상관관계를 기반으로 상호 영향성을 규명하였다. 또한 연구 지역의 시간적, 공간적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 공간특성 평가인자와 시간특성 평가 인자를 함께 고려하여 국내 연안 및 산간지역의 지하수위 관리 취약성 평가 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 지하수자원에 의존할 수 밖에 없는 국내 연안 및 산간지역의 효율적인 수자원 관리 계획을 수립함에 있어 정량적 근거가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

효울적인 수자원 관리를 위해 홍수, 가뭄예측을 비롯한 수문분석이 필수적이나 입력자료 구축시스템의 한계로 인해 다양한 수문 데이터를 활용한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 입력자료의 안정적인 구축뿐 아니라 입력자료의 다양화 및 최적화를 통해서 수문분석의 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있으며 이를 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지표면과 지표아래의 토양 수분 상태를 개념화한 분포형 수문 모델을 이용하여 대표적인 기상-수문 인자인 강우, 토양수분 및 증발산 데이터를 적용함으로써 입력자료를 최적화하기 위한 방법을 연구하였다. 연구결과 강우-유출모형의 회귀분석에서 결정계수 값이 0.8 이상으로 신뢰할 만한 수준을 보였으며, 연구지역의 유출특성이에 입력자료의 최적화 정도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 강우-유출모형 입력자료의 다각화 및 최적화 연구를 통해 수문 자료 활용 가능성을 확대하고, 모형의 정확도 개선을 기대할 수 있으며, 분석 결과로부터 개념적 강우-유출 모형의 안정성을 검증할 계획이다.

This study aims to develop the Flood Vulnerability Index (FVI) and apply it to the Bukhan River Basin. A1B and A2 scenarios of CGCM3 of IPCC were adopted and SDSM (Statistical Downscaling Model) was used to downscale the original data to the daily data. Driver-Presure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model was introduced to select all appropriate indicators for FVI and the daily rainfall-runoff model was simulated using HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran). Since FIV proposed in this study has a capability to quantify the potential flood vulnerability considering both present and future climate conditions, it is expected to be used for the comprehensive water resources and environmental planning.

This study examined the association of gait variability and physical fitness with frailty status in older women. In a cross-sectional design, 168 elderly women, aged 65 years and older (75.07±5.40 years), measured body composition, gait parameters gait variability, physical fitness variables, MMSE-DS and CES-D. Subjects were classified as robust, pre-frail, and frailty based on the Fried et al.(2001) criteria for frailty weight loss, exhaustion, low hand-grip strength, low gait speed, and physical inactivity. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine the odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of frailty status for having gait variability and physical fitness levels. Compared to the robust group (OR=1), the frailty group had significantly higher ORs of having terminal double limb stance (OR=1.48, 95% CI=0.10-2.21, p=.049), step cadence (OR=2.06, 95%CI=1.20-3.43, p=.009) variability, and significantly lower ORs of having upper-strength (OR=0.49, 95%CI=0.31-0.77, p=.002) even after adjusting for age, education, comorbidity, K-IADL, MMSE-KC and CES-D score. The finding of this study suggested that terminal double limb stance, step cadence and upper body muscular strength were independent predictors of frailty.

The most frequently encountered problems at fixture-implantation sites are lack of adequate bone and proximity to anatomic structures. It is generally accepted that growth factors play an essential role in the healing process and tissue formation, and they have become the focus of grafting materials research. The granules in platelets contain high concentrations of various growth factors. In particular, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate that allows the production of fibrin membranes enriched with platelets and growth factors from an anticoagulant-free blood harvest. This study investigated the in vitro effects of PRF on osteoblasts, in terms of the key cellular functions, and especially the effects on two growth factors, the homodimer of platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (BPDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-${\beta}1$, which are associated with wound healing and regeneration (i.e., proliferation and differentiation). The following parameters were investigated: PDGF-BB and TGF-${\beta}1$ levels in PRF, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, type 1 collagen synthesis, and the expressions of osteoblast differentiation markers (ALP and runt-related transcription factor 2) and bone matrix proteins (type 1 collagen). The release of autologous growth factors from PRF was maintained for a reasonable period of time, and exerted positive effects on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. The use of PRF thus appears to be a promising method for enhancing bone healing and remodeling.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine arterial stiffness levels as measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and to identify the association between arterial stiffness and inflammatory markers, in healthy adults over 50 years old. Methods: The study population consisted of 4617 persons over the age of 50 years who participated in the baseline survey of the Dong-gu Study, which was conducted in 2007 and 2008. Arterial stiffness was measured using baPWV. A multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between conventional cardiovascular risk factors and inflammatory markers, including white blood cell (WBC) counts, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT). Results: After adjustment for conventional cardiovascular risk factors including sex, age, smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, hypertension or diabetic medication, total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, and alanine aminotransferase, baPWV was significantly associated with WBC counts (${\beta}$=0.158, p<0.0001), hs-CRP (${\beta}$=0.244, p=0.026), and GGT (${\beta}$=0.003, p<0.0001). Conclusion: This study shows that arterial stiffness correlates with inflammatory markers. Arterial stiffness may be used as a composite risk factor to identify persons with higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Additionally, arterial stiffness may be a marker for future cardiovascular disease and a target for prevention.

Shelf-stability of powdered model food was determined during storage at various temperatures ($25^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$) and various moisture contents (3.5%, 6.0%, 8.0%). Moisture content, peroxide value, pH, color, microbial counting and sensory evaluation were conducted during storage. Moisture content, peroxide value, pH and color were not significantly changed during storage in all samples indicating that this powdered model food was relatively stable at given conditions. Pathogenic microorganisms, such as Bacillus cereus, Listeria spp., Clostridium perfrigens, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus, were not found during storage suggesting that there was no problem in safety in this case. On the other hand, the number of artificially added Lactic acid bacteria was decreased with increasing both storage temperature and moisture content. Therefore, powdered model food was very shelf-stable and it was impossible to predict the shelf-life using above quality factors.

Precise investigation and interpretation of the ground subsidence risk factors needed to predict and evaluate the settlement problems of the surrounding ground due to the ground excavation. There are various geophysical exploration methods to investigate the ground subsidence risk factors. However, there are factors that influence the characteristics of the underground medium in these geophysical methods, and the actual soil contains complex factors affecting geophysical exploration. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the effects on the geophysical methods based on the understanding of the geotechnical properties of soil. In this study, a test bed was constructed to consider various complicated factors in the complex ground and the ground behavior was analyzed by numerical analysis. In addition, we analyzed the limitations on investigating the ground subsidence risk factors through ground penetration radar (GPR) survey. As a result, ground subsidence of Open-cut Type Excavation is caused by various factors. Especially, in the case of soft ground condition, it was found that it was greatly influenced by the flow change of groundwater level. At the center frequency of GPR of 250 MHz, the attenuation of the electromagnetic wave is severely attenuated in the clay with high electrical conductivity, making it difficult to penetrate deeply into the ground (4 m below the surface). As the electromagnetic waves pass through the groundwater level below the groundwater, the attenuation of the electromagnetic waves becomes severe.

Mean annual soil loss was calculated and critical soil erosion areas were identified for the Congaree River Basin in South Carolina, USA using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model. In the RUSLE model, the mean annual soil loss (A) can be calculated by multiplying rainfall-runoff erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), crop-management (C), and support practice (P) factors. The critical soil erosion areas can be identified as the areas with soil loss amounts (A) greater than the soil loss tolerance (T) factor More than 10% of the total area was identified as a critical soil erosion area. Among seven subwatersheds within the Congaree River Basin, the urban areas of the Congaree Creek and the Gills Creek subwatersheds as well as the agricultural area of the Cedar Creek subwatershed appeared to be exposed to the risk of severe soil loss. As a prototype model for examining future effect of human and/or nature-induced changes on soil erosion, the RUSLE model customized for the area was embedded into ESRI ArcGIS ArcMap 9.0 using Visual Basic for Applications. Using the embedded model, users can modify C, LS, and P-factor values for each subwatershed by changing conditions such as land cover, canopy type, ground cover type, slope, type of agriculture, and agricultural practice types. The result mean annual soil loss and critical soil erosion areas can be compared to the ones with existing conditions and used for further soil loss management for the area.
