During the sea trial test for the aerovane in AOE-II, a malfunction occurred in the wind detector movement around 40 to 90° on the starboard side and around 270 to 320° on the port side. The purpose of this study was to analyze and improve the cause of the above phenomenon. The wind detector was covered with a mast structure and was not affected directly by the blowing wind, and a vortex air current was formed behind the mast structure, causing the motion malfunction. The above problem was solved by moving and installing the wind detector on the newly installed mast yard. After conducting vibration analysis and reviewing the effects of vibration, the wind detector was installed in the new mast yard and verified by a sea trial test. Since the improvement plan was slightly effective, the position of the wind detector moved away from the mast on the new mast yard and was re-verified through a sea trial test. The movement malfunction of the wind detector did not occur, confirming that it is an appropriate improvement plan.

This study investigated the influence of starch extraction (ST-EX) solutions on the extraction yield and characteristics of Chinese yam (CY) starches from domestic Dioscorea batatas. Ascorbic acid (VitC), $Na_2S_2O_3$, $NaHCO_3$, and $Na_2CO_3$ were used as ST-EX solutions (0.4%, w/v). The extracted CY starches were examined for ST-EX yield, chemical composition, size distribution, X-ray diffraction, solubility, swelling power, gelatinization, and pasting viscosity. The highest ST-EX yield was obtained from $NaHCO_3$, followed by VitC. Lower protein content, relative crystallinity, and gelatinization enthalpy were found in CY starches from alkaline ST-EX solutions ($NaHCO_3$ and $Na_2CO_3$). Size distribution and gelatinization temperature did not generally differ for CY starches from the different ST-EX solutions. Pasting viscosities increased in the order from $Na_2CO_3$ > $Na_2S_2O_3$ > $NaHCO_3$ > VitC ST-EX solutions. Thus, VitC may be most appropriate to extract CY starch from Dioscorea rhizomes, considering its ST-EX yield, total starch content, and variation in pasting viscosity.

We investigated the inhibitory effects of solvent extracts from dried yam on $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress and growth of cancer cell lines (HT1080 human fibrosarcoma and HT-29 human colon cancer cells). Yam (Dioscoreacea) has been recognized as a healthy food due to its various biological activities, such as anti-obesity, anti-constipation, anti-proliferation, and anti-mutagenic activities, as well as its ability to decrease blood glucose and cholesterol levels. In order to determine the protective effect on $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress, DCFH-DA (dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate) assay was conducted. Acetone with methylene chloride (A+M) extract of dried yam appeared to reduce the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) with dose responses. Among the fractions, 85% aq. methanol fraction showed the highest protective effect on production of lipid peroxides. Inhibitory effects of A+M and methanol (MeOH) extracts on the growth of HT1080 and HT-29 cancer cells increased in a dose dependent manner. The treatments of n-hexane, 85% aq. methanol and n-butanol fractions (${\geqq}0.5$ mg/ml concentrations) significantly inhibited the growth of both cancer cells (p<0.05). From these results, 85% aq. methanol fraction showed inhibitory effects on cellular oxidation and growth of human cancer cells, suggesting that this fraction may contain active compounds of dried yam.

Wolf teeth have been reported with incidence rate of 13% to 31.9% in horses of both sexes. However, there is no report about the incidence of wolf teeth in pony breeds. In order to determine the incidence of wolf teeth in Jeju Ponies and Jeju Pony crossbreds, oral examination and palpation of the interdental space of ponies at the Jeju Race Park were performed from 2006 to 2010. Results of this study showed that a total of 90 (3.4%) of the 2,675 examined Jeju Ponies and Jeju Pony crossbreds had wolf teeth. Among 30 Jeju Ponies that had wolf teeth, 22 were male (73.3%) and 8 were female (26.7%). Among 60 Jeju Pony crossbreds that had wolf teeth, 25 were male (41.7%) and 35 were female (58.3%). In Jeju Ponies, wolf teeth were most common in 3-years-old, followed by ${\geq}4$-years-old, then 2-years-old. For Jeju Pony crossbreds, wolf teeth were most common in 3-years-old, followed by 2-yearsold, then ${\geq}4$-years-old. In conclusion, the incidence of wolf teeth in Jeju Ponies and Jeju Pony crossbreds was considerably lower than what has been reported for horses in other countries.

Streptococcus mutans is the major causative factor in dental caries and has been known to induce dental caries by the process of initial attachment proliferation and acid production. The pH of Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans) media and glucosyltransferase(GTase) activity were determined to evaluate the anticariogenic activity of Dioscorea batatas and Prunella vulgaris hexane fraction. In the experiment of hexane fraction of Dioscorea batatas, the relative growth ratio(RGR) against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was determined as 93% in concentration of 0.125 mg/ml, 100% in 0.25 mg/ml. The hexane fraction of Prunella vulgaris revealed relative growth ratio(RGR) against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) as 86% in concentration of 0.25 mg/ml, 100% in 0.5 mg/ml. The relative growth ratio(RGR) against of hexane fraction were determined as 92% in concentration of 0.25 mg/ml, 100% in 0.5 mg/ml. The acidities were pH 7.2 on Dioscorea batatas and 7.0 on Prunella vulgaris in 2.0 mg/ml in contrast to pH 5.6 on Dioscorea batatas and 5.2 on Prunella vulgaris in control. The inhibitory effect to activity revealed 35% on Dioscorea batatas and 25% on Prunella vulgaris in 2.0 mg/ml. The inhibitory effect of Dioscorea batatas was more potent than Prunella vulgaris.

The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between stigma and quality of life (QOL) in lung cancer patients. Participants were 119 lung cancer patients who visited the outpatient department of a hospital. The subjects completed a questionnaire of stigma, resilience and QOL. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation, three-step regressions to test mediating effect and Sobel test. Stigma was negatively correlated with resilience and QOL. Resilience was positively correlated with QOL. Stigma explained 15.0% of the variance of resilience. Stigma and resilience explained 41.0% of the variance of QOL. Resilience had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between stigma and QOL. The results suggest that a nursing intervention to decrease stigma and enhance resilience is recommended to improve QOL in lung cancer patients.

Root-knot nematode damage was found on yam, Dioscorea bulbifera in Andong Korea. From the root-knots, female nematodes were isolated and subjected to DNA sequence analysis. Sequence of cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) was analyzed from the genomic DNA of the isolate. COII locus size and sequence of the nematode isolate were similar to those of Meloidogyne javanica or M. incognita. However, an analysis of HinfI restriction site, a species-specific character between these two species, showed that the isolate did not match to either M. javanica or M. incognita.

우주발사체 발사를 위해서는 발사대시스템 개발이 필수적이다. 발사대시스템은 기계설비와 추진제공급설비, 관제설비로 구성되며, 그 중 기계설비는 발사지지대(Launch Pad), 이렉터(Erector), 트랜스포터이렉터(Transport-Erector), 케이블마스트(Cable-mast), 자동체결장치(Auto-coupling Device) 총 다섯 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 발사지지대는 발사 전까지 발사체를 지지하는 구조물로 발사체의 안전을 보장하고 공급배관 및 통신라인의 경로를 제공한다. 이렉터는 발사준비과정에서 수평으로 이송된 발사체를 2개의 대형 유압실린더를 사용하여 기립시키는 장비로 발사 취소 시 발사체를 수평으로 전환한다. 트랜스포터이렉터는 조립공간에서 조립을 마치고 최종점검이 완료된 발사체를 전용차량을 이용하여 발사대로 이동하고 발사체를 안전하게 잡아준다. 자동체결장치는 지상으로부터 발사체로 연결되는 추진제, 압축가스 등의 연결배관을 자동으로 연결/분리하는 장치이다. 케이블마스트는 우주발사체 상단부의 UCU-E(Umbilical Connectors Unit-Electrical)를 통해서 전기, 고압가스, 고온공기 등을 공급하기 위한 통로로 발사 전까지 발사체시스템과 지상장비와의 통신수단이다. 또한 발사체로 연결되는 라인들을 발사 시에 나오는 후류에 의한 충격으로부터 보호하고, UCU-E가 기계적으로 분리되도록 구성되어 있다. 본 논문은 기존에 적용된 케이블마스트에 대한 구성, 기능 및 운용절차에 관한 것으로, 현재 진행 중인 한국형발사체 개발을 위한 기초 자료조사로 활용하고자 한다.
