Evaluation of the performance of aging structures is essential in the oil and gas industry, where the inaccurate prediction of structural performance can have significantly hazardous consequences. The effects of structure failure due to the significant reduction in wall thickness, which determines the burst strength, make it very complicated for pipeline operators to maintain pipeline serviceability. In other words, the serviceability of gas pipelines and elbows needs to be predicted and assessed to ensure that the burst or collapse strength capacities of the structures remain less than the maximum allowable operation pressure. In this study, several positions of the corrosion in a subsea elbow made of API X42 steel were evaluated using both design formulas and numerical analysis. The most hazardous corrosion position of the aging elbow was then determined to assess its serviceability. The results of this study are applicable to the operational and elbow serviceability needs of subsea pipelines and can help predict more accurate replacement or repair times.

As concrete ages, the surrounding environment is expected to have growing influences on the concrete. As all the impacts of the environment cannot be considered in the strength-estimating model of a nondestructive concrete test, the increase in concrete age leads to growing uncertainty in the strength-estimating model. Therefore, the variation of the model error increases. It is necessary to include those impacts in the probability model of concrete strength attained from the nondestructive tests so as to build a more accurate reliability model for structural performance evaluation. This paper reviews and categorizes the existing strength-estimating statistical models of nondestructive concrete test, and suggests a new form of the strength-estimating statistical models to properly reflect the model uncertainty due to aging of the concrete. This new form of the statistical models will lay foundation for more accurate structural performance evaluation.

The number of elderly citizens has risen in Korea and resulted in an aging society. Correspondingly, the social interest in the aging population has escalated immensely; however, research or product development on the quality of life for seniors has shortcomings. Healthcare smart clothing is required to help the elderly with changes and weaknesses that follow aging; however, there is unfortunately insufficient amounts available. This study explores the feasibilities of smart clothing for seniors based on a universal design. Based on previous research, we analyzed the universal design theory, body shape characteristics and design requirements for seniors, and heart rate measurement method. The design is different according to body shape and body shape is different between sex, age, and body race; therefore, subjects were limited to 70-74 year old Korean males in this study. This study proposes a guideline for heart rate sensing clothing that satisfies the 'universal design' aspects as well as the functionality of heart sensing, senior's physical characteristics and needs. It has broadened the range of smart clothing, which was once limited to the younger generation and provided a foundation for the development of specialized smart clothing for seniors.

This study is aimed to analyze temperature history at each section of mat foundation concrete applying double bubble sheets. The results of the study are as follows. Firstly, the results of measuring the temperature history indicate that the lowest external temperature has been recorded at -5.6℃ for the three-day measurement period. For the central section, the result indicates that the lower, center and upper part have all secured the concrete curing temperature of 18℃ or higher. This results are believed to have resulted from excellent heat insulation performance of double bubble sheets. For the edge section between the edge form and the concrete interface, the temperature has been measured, on average, approximately 12℃ lower than the central section. However, all measured sections have indicated the temperature of 5℃ or higher. Meanwhile, an analysis has been conducted through the estimation equation of compressive strength of maturity during the curing period in order to examine the possibility of early frost damage and the aspect of securing strength. It has been confirmed that the compressive strength is higher than 50°D·D, namely, 5MPa, on the 3rd day of the aging process, which allows early frost damage to be avoided.

This study was conducted to determine the potent physiological activity of traditional wild tea ("Don tea"; coin-shaped tea) as affected by different harvesting times, aging periods and extracting temperatures, No difference in anti-oxidative activities in the harvesting time and extracting temperature of tea leaves was observed. However, short aging periods of Don tea showed high ABTS {2-2-azonobis (3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulphonic acid)} activity, ranging from 71.52 to 79.96%. DPPH (${\alpha},\;{\alpha}-diphenyl-{\beta}-picryl-hydrazyl$) radical scavenging activity of Don tea was 71.10 to 91.40%. Especially, longer aging period and an extracting temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity. With longer aging periods and an extraction at $90^{\circ}C$, nitrite radical scavenging activity of Don tea ranged from 74.04 to 94.92%. On the other hand, angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity of Don tea was 59.77-81.97%. It showed higher activity when harvested in June and August, aged for longer periods, and extracted at $100^{\circ}C$. These results suggested Korean traditional Don tea exhibited the highest physiological activity when aged over 8 months.

워너 증후군은 상염색체 열성 유전을 하는 희귀한 성인 조로 질환이다. 이 질환은 조기 노화를 보일 뿐만 아니라, 악성 종양의 발생 빈도도 증가하게 되는데, 골연부 조직의 종양이 많이 발생하게 된다. 그러나 악성 종양의 발생 원인은 단순한 조기 노화 현상으로만 보기보다는 하나의 종양 증후군으로 보는 경향이 있으며, 그 이유는 워너 증후군 환자에서 발생하는 종양의 위치, 병리적 소견, 나이 등에서 정상인과는 많은 차이를 보였기 때문이다. 최근의 분자 유전학적 연구들에 의해서 워너 증후군은 DNA의 복제, 복구, 재생에 관여하는 Werner helicase의 유전자 변이와 관련이 있음이 밝혀졌다. 워너 증후군의 유전자 이상은 이러한 DNA 복구과정에 문제를 일으키고, 유전자의 불안정성을 증가시켜 종양의 발생 가능성을 높이게 된다. 육종의 발생과 워너 증후군의 연관성에 관한 향후의 연구들은 정상적인 노화의 과정과 육종의 발생 기전에 관한 많은 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The advent of an aging society has raised the necessity for housing development to meet the growing demands of baby boomers expected to act as the main consumers in the future housing market. This study aims to identify the characteristics of apartment houses favored by baby boomers in their post-retirement plans. Based on a literature review and survey, the study is targeted at a certain baby boom generation residing in mid- sized and large-sized apartments with a floor space of more than 30 pyeong in Gangnam, Seoul. The study reveals that baby boomers favor an active post-retirement life where they can enjoy proper leisure without considerable change in daily routines, and for that reason they choose an apartment house well equipped with neighboring, convenient facilities for their post-retirement. Their housing size shows a downward tendency in response to changes in economic conditions and number of family members living together. Health-related factors such as a comfortable natural environment and greenery also play a key role in their residence selection. Their regional preference is divided into the downtown and suburbs, and thus it will be necessary to satisfy the needs of these two consumer groups in the future housing market. This study lays the foundation for offering basic materials for the development and marketing of apartment houses.
