  • 최근 자기공명신호를 형성시키지 않는 보상물질을 이용하여 신호강도를 높이려는 연구가 활발히 진행되면서 검사부위에 보상물질을 직접 부착함에 따른 환자감염의 우려가 나타나고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 발상의 전환으로 보상물질을 코일에 간접 부착함으로써 기존의 직접 부착방식을 대체할 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 보상물질인 실리콘을 원통형 bar의 형태로 제작하여 8채널 head 코일의 element에 부착한 후, 실리콘 부착 전 후 water phantom의 신호강도를 측정하였다. 영상획득은 3.0T 초전도 자기공명영상장치와 8채널 head 코일을 이용하여 T1, T2강조영상을 획득하였으며, 획득한 영상은 영상측정프로그램을 이용하여 신호강도를 측정한 후, 대응표본T검정을 이용하여 유의한 차이가 있는지 판단하였다. 부착 전 후 신호강도는 T1 강조영상은 3.39%, T2 강조영상은 2.62% 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론적으로 간접 부착방식은 증가율이 낮아 모든 환자를 대상으로 대체하기에는 한계가 있을 수 있지만, filling factor의 증가로 인한 신호강도의 의미있는 상승이 있으므로 당뇨병 등 감염성 질한 우려 환자에 적용 시 유용하리라 판단된다.

  • 사건 현장에 남겨진 혈흔을 찾는 것은 사건을 재구성하거나 해결하기 위해서 매우 중요하다. 사건현장에서 사용할 수 있는 수많은 시약들이 개발되었지만, 루미놀이 가장 대표적인 시약이라고 할 수 있다. 최근에는 블루스타라는 시약이 주로 사용되고 있지만, 가격이 비싸고 시약을 제조한 후 보관이 불가능하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 블루스타 수준의 발광강도를 유지하면서 제조 후 장시간 보관할 수 있는 새로운 루미놀 시약을 개발하고자 했다. 루미놀은 알칼리 수용액에서 잘 녹기 때문에, 시약을 제조할 때 수산화나트륨의 사용은 과산화수소의 분해를 촉진시킬 수 있다. 루미놀 시약을 제조할 때 과산화수소 안정화제로 황산마그네슘, 규산나트륨, 삼인산칼륨을 농도별로 첨가한 후, 혈흔과 반응할 때 시약의 발광강도 및 보관기간에 미치는 영향을 확인했다. 과산화수소 안정화제 첨가는 발광강도에 별다른 영향을 주지 않았고, 보관 중 루미놀 시약의 pH를 일정하게 유지시켜 줌으로서 시약의 보관기간을 크게 늘려줬다. 과산화수소 안정화제로 황산마그네슘이 가장 적절하였다. 과산화수소 대신 과붕산나트륨을 산화제로 사용했을 경우, 희석 혈흔에 대한 민감도와 발광강도에 큰 변화는 없었지만 제조 후 보관기간이 단축되었다. 그렇지만, 혈흔과 반응한 후 혼합액의 pH 상승 폭이 과산화수소로 제조한 시약보다 줄어들었다.

  • Color is one of the most important quality factors of red ginseng (Hong-sam) which is processed from fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer). Therefore, a study of characteristics of browning mixtures of aqueous fresh ginseng extracts, factors which accelerate the browning of the aqueous extracts, and the antioxidant activity of the browning mixtures may contribute to the improvement of the color and other quality of red ginseng and other ginseng products such as ginseng extracts. In the present study, factors which affect the Maillard-type browning reaction of aqueous extracts of fresh ginseng roots were investigated firstly by adding various concentrations (0.001-0.5M) of arginine or glucose solutions, by varying the browning reaction temperatures and durations. Secondly, some characteristics such as brown color intensity, amounts of water-soluble and ether-soluble extracts, amounts of non-dialyzable materials, pH, viscosity, and reactivity with 2,2'- diphenyl -1 - picrylhydrazyl and antioxidant activity of the browning mixtures of the aqueous fresh ginseng extracts with small amounts of 0.1 M arginine, 0.1 M glucose, and distilled water at various browning temperatures and reaction time were studied. The results of the present study are as follows. 1. Color intensity (absorbance at 470 nm) of the browning mixtures was increased by adding various concentrations of arginine solution to the fresh ginseng extract, but the addition of the same amount of glucose solution did not increase the color intensity. 2 The amounts of water- or ether-soluble extracts, amounts of non-dialyzable materials were slightly greater in case of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with 0.1M arginine solution than in case of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with the same amount of 0.1 M glucose solution. In the process of the browning reaction, the pH of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with 0.1 M arginine solution decreased slightly, while that of the browning mixtures with 0. 1 M glucose solution was almost constant. 3. The color intensity (absorbance at 470 nm) of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with 0.1 M arginine or 0.1 M glucose solutions did not correlate well with the reducing power or the antioxidant power of the browning mixtures. The antioxidant activity of 90% ethanol extracts from the earlier stages of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with the arginine solution was almost comparable to that of the 90% ethanol extracts from the later stages of the corresponding browning mixtures. The browning mixtures of only the fresh ginseng extract or of the fresh ginseng extract with the glucose solution showed considerable antioxidant activity, although both showed less brown color intensity than the fresh ginseng extract with he arginine solution.

  • 본 연구는 생활권 도시림의 방문이 시민들의 주관적 웰빙의 향상에 기여하는지를 검토하였다. 도시림 방문은 강한 경험이 아니기 때문에 강도 대신 빈도에 해당하는 방문회수와 체류시간을 독립변수로 사용하였으며, 종속변수는 긍정적 감정, 부정적 감정 및 삶의 만족도이었다. 서울시민을 대상으로 여론조사기관이 온라인 설문으로 수집한 600매의 자료를 분산분석한 결과, (a) 도시림의 방문회수와 체류시간 간에는 상호작용 효과가 없었으며, (b) 방문회수와 상관없이 최근 2주간 도시림을 방문한 사람들은 방문하지 않는 사람들보다 긍정적 감정이 높았으며 부정적 감정은 낮았고, 평소에 한 달에 1번 이상 도시림을 방문한 사람들은 미방문자들보다 삶의 만족도가 높았지만, (C) 방문자들의 체류시간은 긍정적 감정, 부정적 감정 및 삶의 만족도 모두에 영향을 주지 못하였다. 결과적으로, 도시림 방문이란 의도적 활동이 유전적으로 결정된 주관적 웰빙 수준을 변화시킨다는 기존 이론을 확인함으로써, 도시림의 확대와 유지관리는 시민들의 복지향상을 위한 정부의 의미 있는 투자라는 것이 밝혀졌다. 보다 신뢰성 높은 추후연구를 위해 응답자 집단의 선정과 영향변수들의 중요성을 고찰하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to identity the relationship among emotional expression, emotional support, and psychosocial well-being, to analyze the factor affect the psychosocial well-being and to provide the data-based for effective development of emotional education program. The subjects for this study were 553 undergraduate college nursing students. The period of data collection was from 16 to 30, June, 2001. The instruments used for this study were emotional expressiveness scale (EES), ambivalence over emotional expressiveness questionnaire (AEQ), affect intensity measure (AIM), social support scale (SSS), and psychosocial well-being index (PWI). Data were analyzed by use of Descriptive Statistics, ANOVA, t-test, Stepwise multiple regression, Pearson's correlation coefficient with SPSS WIN program. The Major results were as follows: 1. The average score of items for the AIM, EES, AEQ were moderate at 3.8, 3.7 and 3.4. The level of SSS was high at 7.2 and PWI was low at 52.1. 2. Significant correlation were found between the AIM, EES, and AEQ. The EES was positively correlated with the SSS and negatively correlated with the PWI. On the other hand, the AEQ was positively associated with the PWI and negatively associated with the SSS. There was significantly negative correlation between the SSS and PWI. 3. In demographic characteristics, significant difference was shown only in the EES. The EES was significantly different according to grade. The difference in the SSS and PWI between 3groups were significant at the EES and AEQ. 4. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that the EES, AEQ, and AIM had influence on the SSS. And perceived the AEQ and SSS together explained 18.7% of variance in the PWI. The results of study provide evidence about the roles of emotion in psychosocial well-being. As a result, this study suggests that later study would be required to identify factors affect the psychosocial well-being and to develop the emotional education program to enhance emotional expression.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the ability of facial affect perception is associated with schizotypal personality traits in healthy normal controls. Methods : 241 normal subjects were recruited in this study. The age range of all subjects was from 19 to 63 years. The schizotypal personality questionnaire(SPQ) and facial affect identification test(FAIT), which were developed and standardized in Korea, were applied. Subjects from high 1 standard deviation(H group, N=40) and low 1 standard deviation(L group, N=26) on SPQ score were compared. Results : We found that the H group showed significantly reduced ability on the correctness of sadness and neutral compared with the L group. But, no significant association between SPQ and intensity or reaction point was observed in all subjects. Conclusion : This study suggests the individuals with high schizotypal personality trait have impairments on the facial affect identification. Also, these findings may provide the reasonable explanation of social cognition deficit of schizotypal personality disorder.

  • Pelvic floor muscles positively affect not only urinary incontinence but also lumbar stabilization by generating intra-abdominal pressure through interaction with muscles around the trunk. Especially, contracting pelvic floor muscles consistently and gently at low intensity is one of the most effective methods to separate and contract transverse abdominis which plays an important role in lumbar stabilization. The purpose of this study was to reexamine the importance of pelvic floor muscles which had not been used much in the treatment of lumbago and to introduce pelvic floor muscle exercises that can be utilized in the treatment of lumbago by examining literature on the relationship between pelvic floor muscles and lumbar stabilization. It is expected that this study will help apply lumbar stabilization exercise to patients with lumbago more variously and effectively.

  • Flame surface area is a critical parameter determining turbulent flame speed. Three-dimensionaldirect numerical simulations (DNS) were conducted to figure out the evolution process of flame surface area. Fully compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved to reproduce premixed flame embedded in isotropic decaying turbulent flow. The tangential straining and curvature of propagating surface affect development of flame area. In this study, four different turbulent intensity flows and three different Le number flames are investigated to force changes in straining and curvature effects. Consistent results are obtained for the probability density functions (PDF) of strain and curvature with previous researches. It is revealed that displacement speed, which is a speed of flame surface relative to unburnt flow, controls the balance between sink and source of flame surface area.

  • A linear reservoir rainfall-runoff system was developed as a rainfall-runoff event simulation model. It was achieved from large modification of runoff function method. There are six parameters in the model. Hydrologic losses consist of some quantity of initial loss and some ratio of rainfall intensity followed by initial loss. The model has analytical routing equations. Hooke and Jaeves algorithm was used for model calibration. Parameters were estimated for flood events from '84 to '89 at Seomyeon and Munmak stream gauges, and the trends of major parameters were analyzed. Using the trends, verifications were performed for the flood event in September 1990. Because antecedent rainfalls affect initial loss, future researches are required on such effects. The estimation method of major parameters should also be studied for real-time forecasting.

  • Complex terrain like hill, mountain, and escarpment etc. makes complex air flow. This topographic condition will affect not only speed but also turbulence of wind over the complex terrain. In this paper, turbulence intensities are considered to investigate characteristics of wind over cone-type hills. There are five simple hill models with different slope 0.1${\sim}$0.5(tan${\theta}$) for wind tunnel test. It was observed through wind tunnel tests that turbulence intensities of down-slope wind at the end of the 3-Dimensional hills remarkably increased but ones of windward slope wind at the front side of the hills slightly increased. Also, turbulence intensities proportionally increased with slope of the cone-type hills.
