Magnetic anomalies in the Dokdo and it's surroundings were investigated with respect to structure and origin of the Dokdo and surrounding seamounts. After normal and diurnal correction of measured magnetic data, crossover correction was applied to reduce errors between sets of magnetic anomalies. The errors from crossover operation result in decrease of about 51%, from 62.2 nT to 30.1 nT in standard deviation. Reduction-to-the-pole, second vertical derivative and analytic signal processing were applied to explore magnetic anomaly signatures in detail. Magnetic anomalies are most complicated in the 1st-Dok seamount, show SWW-NEE linear pattern in the 2nd-Dok seamount and lower to the 3rd-Dok seamount. Different magnetic anomaly patterns in three seamounts imply that three volcanic seamounts were formed at different times and are composed of rocks that were produced in different conditions. It seems that the 3rd-Dok seamount was first to form and followed by the 1st-Dok seamount. The complicated magnetic and second vertical derivative anomaly patterns in the 1st-Dok seamount may be due to subsidiary cones around crater or the presence of intruded magma bodies below sea surface and the Dokdo is probably a marginal subsidiary part of crater.

최근에 직접 액체 연료전지 중에서 직접 개미산 연료전지(Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cells, DFAFC)가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 불소계막을 대신할 저가의 탄화수소막이 DFAFC막으로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone ketone, sPEEK)막과 Poly(arylene ether sulfone)(PAES)막을 사용해 Nafion 막과 그 특성을 DFAFC 조건에서 비교하였다. 탄화수소계막의 개미산 투과 전류밀도가 $240{\sim}250mA/cm^2$로 불소계인 Nafion 211 막의 $600mA/cm^2$보다 낮았다. sPEEK MEA(Membrane and Electrode Assembly)와 Nafion 211 MEA의 막 저항이 서로 비슷해 I-V 성능도 거의 같았다. 개미산 투과도가 낮은 sPEEK MEA가 Nafion 211 MEA보다 안정함을 보였다.

최근까지 대부분의 PEMFC MEA(Membrnae and Electrode Assembly) 열화 연구는 전극과 전해질 막 각각 분리되어 연구되었다. 그런데 실제 PEMFC 운전조건에서는 전극과 전해질 막은 동시에 열화된다. 동시열화과정에서 전극열화와 전해질 막 열화는 상호 작용한다. 전해질 막의 열화정도를 측정하는데 수소투과도가 많이 사용되고 있다. 그런데 동시 열화가 발생했을 때 선형 쓸음 전기량 측정법(Linear Sweep Voltammetry, LSV)에 의해 수소투과도를 측정하면 전극열화가 수소투과전류를 감소시키는데, LSV 방법이 전극 촉매의 활성 면적에 의존하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 전극과 막 동시 열화과정에서 기체 크로마토그래프에 의한 PEMFC 전해질막의 수소투과도를 측정하였다. 기체 크로마토그래프 측정 방법은 전극 상태와 무관하기 때문에 전극과 막 동시 열화 과정에서 수소투과도가 전극 열화 영향을 받지 않음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 서열순서화문제를 위한 새로운 혼합형 유전알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 유전알고리즘에서는 보로노이양자 화교차를 교차연산자로 사용하고 경로보전 3-최적화를 지역탐색 휴리스틱으로 사용한다. 보로노이양자화교차는 주어진 문제 인스턴스의 상위 정보를 이용하는 교차연산자이다. 이것은 원래 순회판매원문제를 위해서 제안된 교차연산자이기 때문에 서열순서화문제에 적용하기 위해서는 상당한 변형을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 서열순서화문제에 맞도록 보로노이양자화교차를 적절히 변형하고, 변형된 보로노이양자화교차에서 필요로 하는 가능해생성알고리즘, 선행관계사이클분해알고리즘, 유전자거리지정방법 등을 개발하였다. TSPLIB와 ZIB-MP-Testdata로부터 얻어진 서열순서화문제 인스턴스들에 대한 실험결과, 제안된 유전알고리즘이 비교된 다른 유전알고리즘들에 비해서 더 안정적이고 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

크라이오 펌프는 크기에 비해 상대적으로 높은 배기속도를 나타내어 경제적이지만 흡착 패널의 온도에 민감하게 반응하는 배기성능 측면에서 볼 때 대유량 및 펄스 기체 부하에 대한 성능 유지 및 회복능력은 의문의 여지가 있다. 크라이오 펌프의 기체부하에 대한 공식적인 성능지표로는 최대배기량(max. throughput)과 교차(crossover)값이 있고 공식적인 것은 아니지만 펌프 회사에서 제공하는 사양에는 대부분 아르곤 회복시간(Ar recovery time)이라는 지표가 들어 있으며 사양서에 제시하지는 않지만 걸프(gulp) 시험도 통상 시행한다. 이들은 겉보기에 서로 다르지만 한편으로는 서로 중복되거나 연관성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 실용적인 면에서 절차들을 비교, 검토 및 개선하고 때에 따라서는 적절히 결합할 수 있는 방안에 대해 모색하려고 한다.

Background; To explore the efficacy of aspartate as NAD regenerating agent for ethanol and acetaldehyde oxidation, we performed crossover challenge in two groups of volunteers by coadministration of various doses of aspartate, asparagine and ethanol. Methods; 18 healthy male volunteers were randomly divided into two groups. 6 volunteers of the first group were administered 5 gm monosodium aspartate(MSA), 5 gm asparagine or placebo with 100 ml of $40^{\circ}$ whiskey by the 3 way-crossover design, while 12 volunteers of the other group were administered placebo, 1, 2 or 5 bottles of $Aspar^(circledR)$ containing 1 gm of MSA per bottle with 100 ml of $40^{\circ}$ whiskey by the 4 way-crossover design. Ethanol(and acetaldehyde) concentrations in venous blood drawn at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8th hour after ethanol ingestion were analysed by gas chromatogaphy. Subjective symptoms, liver function tests and psychomotor function tests were also performed during the study periods. Result; Plasma concentration and AUC of acetaldehyde in asparagine and MSA trials on ethanol ingestion were significantly lower than those of placebo trial in the 1st group. Plasma ethanol concentration of 5 bottle $Aspar^(circledR)$ trial was significantly lower than that of placebo trial in the 2nd group. Improvement of subjective symptoms or psychomotor performance by the treatment was not statistically significant. Conclusion; Aspartate and asparagine may be prospective candidates for acceleration of ethanol metabolism and prevention of ethanol toxicity.

Background: We aimed to investigate the characteristics of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in adolescents and to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of PSP and air pollutants. Methods: Data pertaining to age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, initial pneumothorax volume, presence of bullae, treatment methods, and city of residence were retrospectively obtained from January 2010 to December 2014. We investigated the association between short-term exposure to air pollutants (SO2, NO2, O3, CO, and PM10) and the occurrence of PSP using a case-crossover design with conditional logistic regression. Results: We collected information from 598 patients who were admitted for PSP, with a mean follow-up duration of 62.9 months. The majority (91.1%) of the patients were male. In the case-crossover design, conditional logistic regression showed that no air pollutant was associated with the occurrence of pneumothorax. The results were consistent across all city subgroups (Anyang, Gunpo, Uiwang, and Gwacheon). Conclusion: In our study, the incidence rate of pneumothorax was 153.8 per 100,000 person-years in male adolescents and 16.7 per 100,000 person-years in female adolescents. The case-crossover design showed that PSP in adolescents is unlikely to be related to air pollution.

The consumption of fruits and vegetables that have high polyphenol content has been previously associated with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the effects of onion peel extract on plasma total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxidation, and leukocyte DNA damage. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Healthy female subjects received either onion peel extract or placebo (dextrin) for two weeks, underwent a 1-week washout period, and then received the other treatment for an additional two weeks. After two weeks of onion peel extract supplementation, the total cholesterol level, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and atherogenic index significantly decreased (P < 0.05). No changes were observed in activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes or levels of lipid peroxidation markers following onion peel extract supplementation. Additionally, no significant difference was found in plasma antioxidant vitamin (retinol, tocopherols, carotenoids, and coenzyme Q10) levels or ex vivo $H_2O_2$-provoked oxidative DNA damage after onion peel extract supplementation. The present interventional study provides evidence of the health benefits of onion peel extract and demonstrates its effects in modulating lipid profiles in healthy young Korean women.

This paper presents unprecedented damped oscillation behaviours of a precast steel-concrete composite slab panel for track support. The steel-concrete composite slab track is an innovative slab track, a form of ballastless track which is becoming increasingly attractive to asset owners as they seek to reduce lifecycle costs and deal with increasing rail traffic speeds. The slender nature of the slab panel due to its reduced depth of construction makes it susceptible to vibration problems. The aim of the study is driven by the need to address the limited research available to date on the dynamic behaviour of steel-concrete composite slab panels for track support. Free vibration analysis of the track slab has been carried out using ABAQUS. Both undamped and damped eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes have been extracted using the Lancsoz method. The fundamental natural frequencies of the slab panel have been identified together with corresponding mode shapes. To investigate the sensitivity of the natural frequencies and mode shapes, parametric studies have been established, considering concrete strength and mass and steel's modulus of elasticity. This study is the world first to observe crossover phenomena that result in the inversion of the natural orders without interaction. It also reveals that replacement of the steel with aluminium or carbon fibre sheeting can only marginally reduce the natural frequencies of the slab panel.
