It was set up MCS and MS of ship's distance measuring system in land and ship respectively and ship's track including dropped and hove up anchor was tracked by mean of measurement for ship's position, relative bearing and distance from MCS to MS. Results analyzed for possibility of real time anchoring watch and effectiveness of measuring position are as follow; (1) The elapsed time from dropped anchor to hove up anchor is 4 minutes and the elapsed time to start recording ship's track after set up anchoring state is 10 minutes approximately. (2) Shape of hull's swing during anchoring is mostly 8 figue-like or rarely peanut-like shape. (3) Mean anchoring position during whole measuring time was shifted 49m north and 89m eastly. (4) Ship's track were moved counter-clockwise for $8.1^\circ$ range from relative bearing $186.1^\circ$ to $194.2^\circ$ ellipse-like tracks with the major axis 63m and the minor axis 53m. (5) High frequency of ship's position distribution was shown at relative bearing $187^\circ$ and distance 558m while low frequency was shown at relative bearing $194^\circ$ and distance 556m. (6) The designed ship's distance measuring system by PRTK-GPS was fit very well for anchoring watch as secured necessary area demanded for dragging anchor as well as anchoring by means of real time measurement both in distance and bearing.

Ship detection from satellite remote sensing is a crucial application for global monitoring for the purpose of protecting the marine environment and ensuring marine security. It permits to monitor sea traffic including fisheries, and to associate ships with oil discharge. An automatic ship detection approach for RADARSAT Fine Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image is described and assessed using in situ ship validation information collected during field experiments conducted on August 6, 2004. Ship detection algorithms developed here consist of five stages: calibration, land masking, prescreening, point positioning, and discrimination. The fine image was acquired of Ulsan Port, located in southeast Korea, and during the acquisition, wind speeds between 0 m/s and 0.4 m/s were reported. The detection approach is applied to anchoring ships in the anchorage area of the port and its results are compared with validation data based on Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) radar. Our analysis for anchoring ships, above 68 m in length (LOA), indicates a 100% ship detection rate for the RADARSAT single beam mode. It is shown that the ship detection performance of SAR for smaller ships like barge could be higher than the land-based radar. The proposed method is also applied to estimate the ship's dimensions of length and breadth from SAR radar cross section(RCS), but those values were comparatively higher than the actual sizes because of layover and shadow effects of SAR.

The antioxidant activity, nitrite scavenging effect, and angiotensine I-converting enzyme inhibiting activity of solvent extracts of soybean isoflavone were investigated. Also anticarcinogenic activities of them were examined by MTT assay using human cancer cell line. Isoflavone aglycones showed relatively high antioxidant activity in order of glycitein, genistein, and daidzein. Methanol extract of soybean actively scavenged free radicals and was shown excellent nitrite scavenging effect. Glycitein and methanol extract of soybean inhibited the growth of human cancer cell such as stomach carcinoma (SNU-1) and colon carcinoma (SNU-C4) effectively. Genistein, daidzein and methanol extracts of soybean inhibited the growth of cancer cell such as stomach carcinoma (SNU-1), but had weak activities to colon carcinoma (SNU-C4). To applicate the soybean isoflavone as an enhancer for food quality and processibility, the stabilities on heat and pH of isolated isoflavone, isoflavone in soybean flour and isoflavone concentrate of soybean were investigated. Stability of isoflavone concentrate of soybean was decreased in pH extreme (below 3, above 8) during sterilization, but isoflavone in soybean flour showed higher stability in all pH range. All kinds of isoflavone tested in this study were very stable during the heat treatment.

In the high convective gas flow condition, irregular shaped water waves from which droplet entrainment occurs are generated under horizontally stratified two-phase flow condition. KAERI proposed a new mechanistic droplet entrainment model based on the momentum balance equation consisting of the shear stress, surface tension, and gravity forces. However, this model requires correlation or experimental data of several physical parameters related to the wave characteristics. In the present study, we tried to measure the physical parameters such as wave slope, wave hypotenuse length, wave velocity, wave frequency, and wavelength experimentally. For this, an experiment was conducted in the horizontal rectangular channel of which width, height, and length are, respectively, 40 mm, 50 mm, and 4.2 m. In the present test, the working fluids are chosen as air and water. The PIV technique was applied not only to obtain images for phase interface waves but also to measure the velocity field of the water flow. Additionally, we developed the parallel wire conductance probe for the confirmation of wave height from PIV image. Finally, we measured the physical parameters to be used in the validation of new droplet entrainment model.

Recently, the size of container ships has been progressively increasing, and much attention is required for safe navigation in shallow areas such as coastal waters and ports due to increases in draft. It is necessary to understand the characteristics of ship motion not only in still waters but also with waves. Especially in shallow regions, squat due to the vertical movement of the ship can be an important evaluation factor for the safe navigation, and wave drift force acting in the horizontal direction can have a great influence on the maneuverability of a ship. In this study, a numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics has been performed for the wave exciting force acting in the vertical direction and the wave drift force acting in the horizontal direction for a very large container vessel sailing in shallow zone. As a result, it was found that total resistance in still waters greatly increased in shallow water. Wave drift force was shown to decrease given longer wavelengths regardless of water depth. It was observed that the wave exciting force in shallow water was considerably larger than at other water depths. As wave height against the central part of the ship lowered, the aft side rose.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the unique contrasting landscape characteristics of imperial tombs of Qing dynasty by examining the characteristics of facility layout in which location, Feng shui, and siblings are harmonized with the 12 Qing Dynasty Hwanggyeongchim. Through literature surveys, field observation and interviews, videos and drawing comparison, and inductive contrast analysis, the contrasting landscape characteristics of imperial tombs in the Qing Dynasty were analyzed by classifying them into natural environment, location, Feng shui, and formal esthetics. As a result, the characteristics of the location type and the layout plan of the Qing dynasty imperial tombs were derived from the analysis of Feng shui shape, axis extension distance along the midaxial line, the width of the ridge, the formality of the facility layout according to the difference between the height of the starting point and the end point, the leftward direction of the tomb, and the space ratio of the 'entry space' - 'ritual space' - 'burial mound space', etc. In addition, it was possible to derive the facility arrangement characteristics of tombstones through the analysis of the types and the arrangement order of tombs facilities, as well as the distribution, quantity and types of stone figures, while also revealing some contrasting characteristics different from those of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, it was confirmed that the spatial division effect through the water system and the view effect of the view from the midaxial line and the vista are the representative view effect found in the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs along with the density contrast.

The maritime safety act defines a large vessel as a vessel of at least 200m in length overall. Since this standard was introduced in 1986, it has not been revised even though the marine traf ic environment has changed significantly. The length overall of 200m is equivalent to the handymax class for a dry bulker; therefore, classifying this as a modern large vessel size is difficult. Meanwhile, according to the maritime safety act, the specific sea area for traffic safety is established where large vessels frequently pass. Accordingly, by reviewing maritime-related laws, this study confirmed that standards for vessels larger than 200m in length overall were already introduced. Furthermore, by examining the statistics of vessels entering Korean ports, the existence of sea areas with a lot of traffic by large vessels, except the current 5 specific areas, was confirmed. Therefore, the following were suggested: the deletion of the term large vessel, a raise in the standard for length of a vessel related to a specific sea area in the maritime safety act.

Among the healthcare-related judgments handed down in 2002, there was a significant ruling on the timing of the duty of explanation, stating that, in order to ensure the exercise of the patient's right to self-determination, the patient must be given time to consider and decide on the risks and side effects of a medical procedure in specific circumstances. In addition, in a case where an insurance company claimed unjust enrichment against a medical institution on behalf of its insureds, the court provided a clear standard by distinguishing between active and passive requirements regarding the need to preserve the right of subrogation of creditors. In the area of medical administration, there was a ruling that clarified that a medical institution's business suspension under the National Health Insurance Act is directed against the medical institution, a ruling that broadly recognized causation in a case of compensation for side effects of corona vaccination, and a ruling on the scope of a medical practitioner's license, such as the use of ultrasound devices by an oriental medicine practitioner. In a case involving a patient's claim for eviction from a medical institution, the court reviewed a ruling on just cause for termination of a hospitalization contract in relation to Article 15(1) of the Medical law.

Lactic acid fermentation of peach juice was carried out by using Lactobacillus plantarum KLAB21, a strain with a high level of antimutagenic activity, When the fermentation was carried out at 25, 30, 37 and $40^{\circ}C$, the highest level in the viable counts and acid production was obtained at $37^{\circ}C$. The sterilized peach juice showed a higher level of viable counts and acid production than the non-sterilized juice. And more viable counts and acid production were observed in the juice fermented by L. plantarum KLAB21 only than that obtained by a mixed culture of L. plantarum KLAB21 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides cells. When the lactic acid fermentation was performed for 5 days, the first 3 days of fermentation resulted in an increase of the viable counts from 8.2 to of 9.2 of log cfu/mL which is the highest level, as well as a decrease of the residual reducing sugar content from 5.6 to 0.1 % Decrease in the viable counts and m significant changes in the residual reducing sugar content were observed for further fermentation up to 5 days. However, the titratable acid content increased and the pH value decreased during the fermentation for 5 days to reach the highest titratable acid content (1,98%) and the lowest pH value (3.14) after 5 days of fermentation. HPLC analysis of the organic acids showed 1,236 mg% of lactic acid and 841 mg% of galacturonic acid contents in the fermented juice which were not detected in the fresh juice before fermentation. Antimutagenic effects of $100\;{\mu}L$ of the fermented peach juice supernatant were shown to be 97.7% against MNNG(N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine), and 58.3% against NPD(4-nitro-O-phenylenediamine) in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium TA100.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment on the healthcare-related finances of patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: Changes in health care financing due to newly introduced benefit standards were predicted over the coming 5-year period (2018-2022). We also analyzed the financial impact of scenarios in which agents similar to anti-VEGF, such as the over-licensed drug bevacizumab, were introduced. For this purpose, the future number of patients receiving anti-VEGF treatments was estimated for various scenarios based on National Health Insurance Corporation claims data followed by an estimate of the financial burden. Results: In the case of age-related macular degeneration, the current standard of care (14 times in a lifetime) was maintained in scenario 1. In 2018, the insurance budget for the coming 5-year period was estimated at approximately 440.3 billion won. The insurance cost for that period was estimated at approximately 560.1 billion won under the revised standard of December 2017 (scenario 2). For scenarios wherein, after 2020, similar treatments (scenario 3) and bevacizumab (scenario 4) were introduced, the estimated health insurance costs were 521 billion won and 419.7 billion won, respectively. Conclusions: Health insurance costs are projected to increase substantially due to the elimination of the 14 time pay standard; however, the actual budget will only moderately increase, due to new limitations of visual acuity ${\leq}0.1$ or in case of scarring/atrophic lesions. Clinically similar agents and bevacizumab could be considered as alternatives to anti-VEGF treatment for age-related macular degeneration.
