Of many volatile organic detergents for metals, benzine(CAS No. 8030-30-6), of which the toxicity has not yet been proven, has been used as an alternative of the halide compounds in the consideration of toxic effects, global warming and the destruction of ozone layer. In order to evaluate the effects of the benzine on human body by investigating the subchronic inhalation toxicity, to obtain the basic data for establishing the criteria of exposure in working environments and to classify the hazardousness in compliance with the Industrial Safety and Health Act by evaluating the hazardousness, repeated inhalation exposure test was carried with SD rats. The rats were grouped by 10 females and males each. The repetitive inhalation exposures were carried out at 4 levels of concentration of 0 ppm, 60 ppm, 300 ppm, and 1,500 ppm, for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 13 weeks. The results are described hereunder. 1. No death of the animals of the exposed and controlled groups in the test period. Not any specific clinical symptoms, change in feed intake quantity, abnormality in eye test, or change in activity were observed. 2. In the 300 ppm and 1,500 ppm groups, weight reduction in the female groups and weight increase of liver and kidney in the male groups compared with control group were observed with statistical significance(p<0.05). 3. In the blood test, the HCT increased in the male 300 ppm group and the number of hematocyte increased, MCV and MCH decreased in the male 1,500 ppm group. In the female 1,500 ppm group, the HB decreased and the distribution width of the hematocyte particle size increased. In the blood biochemistry test, the TP in the male 1,500 ppm group and the LDH in the female 1,500 ppm group were increased with statistical significance(p<0.05). 4. Under the test conditions of the present study with SD rats, the NOEL was evaluated to be from 60 ppm to 300 ppm for both male and female groups. By extrapolation, the NOEL for human who work 8 hours a day was evaluated to be from 128 ppm to 640 ppm 5. Since the NOEL evaluated in this study do not exceed 60ppm(0.184 mg/L) the test material does not belong to the classification of the hazardous substance "NOEL${\leq}$0.5mg/L/6hr/90day(rat), for continuous inhalation of 6hours a day for 90 days" nor to the basic hazardous chemical substance class 1(0.2 mg/L/6hr/90day(rat) defined by the GHS which is a criteria of classification and identification of chemical compounds. However, considering the boiling point($30-204^{\circ}C$), flashing point($-40^{\circ}C$), vapor pressure(40 mmHg), and the inflammable range(1.0 - 6.0 %), sufficient care should be taken for handling in the safety aspects including fire or explosion.

In spite of abundant clinical resources of stroke patients, the objective and logical data analyses or diagnostic systems were not established in oriental medicine. As a part of researches for standardization and objectification of differentiation of syndromes for stroke, in this present study, we tried to develop the statistical diagnostic tool discriminating the 4 subtypes of syndrome differentiation using the essential indices considering the sex. Discriminant analysis was carried out using clinical data collected from 1,448 stroke patients who was identically diagnosed for the syndrome differentiation subtypes diagnosed by two clinical experts with more than 3 year experiences. Empirical discriminant model(V) for different sex was constructed using 61 significant symptoms and sign indices selected by stepwise selection. We comparison. We make comparison a between discriminant model(V) and discriminant model(IV) using 33 significant symptoms and sign indices selected by stepwise selection. Development of statistical diagnostic tool discriminating 4 subtypes by sex : The discriminant model with the 24 significant indices in women and the 19 significant indices in men was developed for discriminating the 4 subtypes of syndrome differentiation including phlegm-dampness, qi-deficiency, yin-deficiency and fire-heat. Diagnostic accuracy and prediction rate of syndrome differentiation by sex : The overall diagnostic accuracy and prediction rate of 4 syndrome differentiation subtypes using 24 symptom and sign indices was 74.63%(403/540) and 68.46%(89/130) in women, 19 symptom and sign indices was 72.05%(446/619) and 70.44%(112/159) in men. These results are almost same as those of that the overall diagnostic accuracy(73.68%) and prediction rate(70.59%) are analyzed by the discriminant model(IV) using 33 symptom and sign indices selected by stepwise selection. Considering sex, the statistical discriminant model(V) with significant 24 symptom and sign indices in women and 19 symptom and sign indices in men, instead of 33 indices would be used in the field of oriental medicine contributing to the objectification of syndrome differentiation with parsimony rule.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences between child-care facilities and kindergartens towards the need for foodservice support by Center for Child-Care Foodservice Management (CCFSM). For this study, questionnaires were sent out from August of 2008 to April of 2009 to directors of 1,478 child care facilities and 299 kindergartens in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do via postal service. A total of 267 questionnaires were usable with 203 (13.7%) of child-care facilities and 64 (21.4%) of kindergartens. Statistical data were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 for descriptive analysis and t-test. For political and administrative support, government funding for foodservice was the highest need and hiring nutritionists was significantly different by type of facility (p < 0.01). Both child-care facilities (4.29) and kindergartens (4.41) demanded the balanced menu from CCFSM. There were significant differences of "information about food material sanitation management" (p < 0.05), "hygiene safety management method according to working process" (p < 0.05), "hygiene safety management method of foodservice facilities and equipment" (p < 0.05). In education and training contents from center, "types and methods to manage foodservice facilities and equipment" for directors, "dietary education by age" for teachers, and "the rules of personal sanitation and working process" and "gas, electricity and fire prevention" for culinary workers had the highest mean score of requirements.

자동변속기유는 자동차의 자동변속기의 성능을 유지시키기 위해 사용되는 유체이다. 최근 자동차 제조사에서는 일반적으로 자동변속기유를 80000~100000 km 주행후 교환 또는 무교환을 보증하고 있지만 국내에서는 많은 운전자들이 50000 km 이하에서도 자동변속기유를 교환하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 빈번한 자동변속기유의 교환은 환경오염과 차량유지비용을 상승시키는 원인으로 작용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사용하지 않은 신유와 50000 km와 100000 km를 각각 주행한 뒤 회수된 자동변속기유를 대상으로 인화점, 연소점, 유동점, 동점도, 저온겉보기점도, 전산가, 금속분과 같은 물리적 특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 신유에 비해 사용유는 전산가, 유동점, 금속분이 증가되는 것을 확인하였지만, 두 종류의 사용유(50000 km, 100000 km)의 물리적 특성과 금속분 함량의 차이는 크지 않음을 알수 있었다.

Objective : This study investigated brain functional connectivity in male firefighters who showed subclinical post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Methods : We compared the data of 17 firefighters who were not diagnosed with PTSD and 18 healthy controls who had no trauma exposure. The following instruments were applied to assess psychiatric symptoms: Korean version of the Post-traumatic stress disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5-K), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). For all subjects, functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed, and functional connectivity was compared between the two groups (family-wise error-corrected p<0.05). Additionally, correlations between psychiatric symptoms and functional connectivity were explored. Results : The following connectivity was higher than that of healthy controls: 1) the central opercular cortex-superior temporal gyrus, 2) planum polare-parahippocampal gyrus, 3) angular gyrus-amygdala, and 4) temporal fusiform cortex-parahippocampal gyrus. The functional connectivity of 1) the lateral occipital cortex-inferior temporal gyrus, 2) superior parietal lobule-caudate, and 3) middle temporal gyrus-thalamus were lower in firefighters. In firefighters, the connectivity of the planum polare-parahippocampal gyrus showed a negative correlation with the severity of arousal symptoms (rho=-0.586, p=0.013). The connectivity of the middle temporal gyrus-thalamus showed a positive correlation with the severity of intrusion (rho=0.552, p=0.022) and arousal symptoms (rho=0.619, p=0.008). The connectivity of the temporal fusiform cortex-parahippocampal gyrus was negatively correlated with intrusion (rho=-0.491, p=0.045) and arousal (rho=-0.579, p=0.015). Conclusion : Our results indicate that the brain functional connectivity is associated with occupational trauma exposure in firefighters without PTSD. Therefore, this study provides evidence that close monitoring and early intervention are important for firefighters with traumatic experience even at a subthreshold level.

The purpose of this study is to compare soil $CO_2$ efflux between burned and unburned sites dominated by Pinus densiflora forest in the Samcheok area where a big forest fire broke out along the east coast in 2000 and to measure soil $CO_2$ efflux and environmental factors between March 2011 and February 2012. Soil $CO_2$ efflux was measured with LI-6400 once a month; the soil temperature at 10 cm depth, air temperature, and soil moisture contents were measured in continuum. Soil $CO_2$ efflux showed the maximum value in August 2011 as 417.8 mg $CO_2m^{-2}h^{-1}$ (at burned site) and 1175.1 mg $CO_2m^{-2}h^{-1}$ (at unburned site), while it showed the minimum value as 41.4 mg $CO_2m^{-2}h^{-1}$ (at burned site) in December 2011 and 42.7 mg $CO_2m^{-2}h^{-1}$ (at unburned site) in February 2012. The result showed the high correlation between soil $CO_2$ efflux and the seasonal changes in temperature. More specifically, soil temperature showed higher correlation with soil $CO_2$ efflux in the burned site ($R^2$ = 0.932, P < 0.001) and the unburned site ($R^2$ = 0.942, P < 0.001) than the air temperature in the burned site ($R^2$ = 0.668, P < 0.01) and the unburned site ($R^2$ = 0.729, P < 0.001). $Q_{10}$ values showed higher sensitivity in the unburned site (4.572) than in the burned site (2.408). The total soil $CO_2$ efflux was obtained with the exponential function between soil $CO_2$ efflux and soil temperature during the research period, and it showed 2.5 times higher in the unburned site (35.59 t $CO_2ha^{-2}yr^{-1}$, 1 t = $10^3$ kg) than in the burned site (14.69 t $CO_2ha^{-2}yr^{-1}$).

이 연구에서는 피로인산/암모늄이온, 메틸렌피페라지노메틸-비스-포스폰산, 메틸렌피페라지노메틸-비스-포스폰산/암모늄이온의 화학 첨가제로 처리된 리기다 소나무의 연소 특성을 고찰하였다. 15 wt%의 화학 첨가제 수용액으로 각각 리기다 소나무에 3회 붓칠하여 실온에서 건조시킨 후, 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하여 연소성을 시험하였다. 그 결과, 화학 첨가제로 처리한 시험편의 최대질량감소율도달시간(PMLR time)은 무처리 시험편에 비교하여 10.5~47.4% 지연되었다. 그리고 최대일산화탄소발생률($CO\;_{peak}$)은 무처리 시험편에 비교하여 32.1~71.4% 증가하였다. 또한 총연기방출률(TSRR)은 화학 첨가제로 처리한 시험편이 무처리한 시험편보다 15.6~43.6% 증가하였다. 특히, 단위면적당 연기방출속도(RSR)에 대하여 $PP/4NH_4{^+}$로 처리한 시험편을 제외하고, 무처리 시험편보다 29.4~41.5% 높게 나타났다. 이와 같이 유기성 화학 첨가제로 처리한 시험편은 연소억제 작용에 의하여 연소시간이 길어짐에 따라 연기방출률이 높았다. 그러나 $PP/4NH_4{^+}$은 무기물 첨가제로서 일부 감연 작용을 하는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 화학 첨가제로 처리한 시험편은 무처리 시험편과 비교하여 연소가스 및 연기발생을 부분적으로 증가시켰다.

최근의 건축 구조물이 고층화, 대형화됨에 따라 초고강도 콘크리트의 적용 및 수요가 증가하고 있는 추세이나, 화재에 대한 취약성을 가지고 있는 초고강도 콘크리트의 열적 특성에 대한 검토는 아직 충분하지 않으며 이에 대한 성능 검토 또한 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 이 논문에서는 초고강도 콘크리트의 고온 재료 모델 개발에 대한 기초적 자료를 제공하기 위하여 상온에서 $800^{\circ}C$까지의 고온 가열을 받은 100 MPa급 초고강도 콘크리트를 대상으로 가열온도의 변화에 따른 잔존압축강도, 탄성계수 및 응력-변형 성상, 반복하중 시의 응력-변형 성상 등 역학적 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 또한, TG/DTA분석과 SEM 촬영으로 콘크리트의 화학 물리적 특성을 확인하고 국내 외의 기존 연구와 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 가열온도 $300^{\circ}C$에서 잔존압축강도 및 탄성계수의 급격한 저하를 확인하였으며, 반복하중 하에서는 가열온도 $400^{\circ}C$부터 소성거동이 발생하는 것과 함께 단일하중과 거의 동일한 경향을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. TG/DTA 분석 및 SEM 촬영을 실시한 결과와 기존 연구를 비교 검토한 결과, 콘크리트 내부 조직의 열화와 수분 증발 및 화학반응 등으로 인하여 잔존압축강도 및 탄성계수의 저하가 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었다.

그 동안 고무산업 현장에서는 유기용제계 고무 접착제를 사용하여 왔으며 이로인해 품질의 불균일성과 화재위험성 및 인체유해성이 상존하여 왔다. 이를 해결하기 위해 비휘발성, 고인화점인 탄화수소계 원료를 사용하여 새로운 용액을 개발하였으며 이 용액은 인체에 대한 유해성이 매우 적으며 증발이 되지 않으므로 화재위험 및 환경적인 문제를 해결할 수 있었다. 새로운 용액은 기존 제품에 사용되어 온 고무계 binder대신 고무면으로 비휘발성 용제가 침투, 팽윤 현상을 일으켜 고무면 끼리 접착을 유도하는 새로운 개념의 제품이며 접착력 유지 시간이 기존 제품에 비해 현저히 개선되었다. 또한 내구력 면에서도 기존품과 비교할 때 유사한 양상을 보이므로 팽윤 현상으로 인한 물성저하가 나타나지 않았으며 각종 첨가제와도 반응성이 없는 안정한 제품이었다. 기존품의 경우 가교 후 절단면에서 가스로 인한 균열이 발생한 반면 새로운 제품의 경우는 이러한 현상이 발생하지 않았다.
