  • The phenethyl ester of caffeic acid (CAPE), an active component of honeybee propolis extract, is shown to inhibit cancer growth previously. However, studies on human ovarian cancer are largely obscure. This study evaluated the effects of CAPE as a potential anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic agent in the human ovarian cancer line, OVCAR-3. CAPE treated OVCAR-3 cells showed inhibition of cell viability and proliferation in a dose-dependent manner by WST-1 assay, LDH assay and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay. Furthermore, CAPE-mediated OVCAR-3 cell growth inhibition was associated with apoptotic changes as evident by cell cycle arrest and accumulation of cells in the apoptotic phase and DNA fragmentation. Taken together, CAPE inhibits cell proliferation via DNA synthesis reduction and induces apoptotic cell death via DNA damage, thus elucidating a novel, plausible mechanism of CAPE anti-tumorigenic property in OVCAR-3 cells.

  • Most incidents and accidents involved human during operating NPPs have a tendency to be structured by complicated and various organizational, individual, and environmental factors. The salient feature of the human error in NPP was extremely low frequency, extremely high complicated and extremely serious damage of human life and property. Our research team defined as 'rare human errors'. To prevent the rare human errors, the most researchers and analysts insist invariably that the root causes be made clear. The making them clear, however, is difficult because their root causes are very various and uncertain. However, These tools have limits that they do not adapt all operating situations and circumstances such as design base events. The purpose of this study is to improve the rare human error hazards consider the situational contex. Through this challenging try based on evidences to the human errors could be useful to prevent rare and critical events can occur in the future.

  • The purpose of this article was to contribute to the knowledge of physiological and pathological changes of aging skeletal muscles, and of therapic method. By aging there were changes of distribution of muscle fibers, the loss of muscle mass, the loss of the number of muscle fibers, the loss of glycolysis capacity, the decrease of the oxidative enzymes and muscle vascularization in the skeletal muscles. And as a pathological change, the exhaustive maximal exercise increased oxidative stress that led to oxidative damage which were shown to be implicated in promoting aging. The property of intensity and duration exercise is important not only in keeping human health and physical fitness from oxidative stress, but also for the maintenance of well-being and quality of life.

  • In this study, the plan to construct a disaster information categorization system that can be objectively and efficiently performed was suggested in order to perform disaster management task systematically. Recently, the damage of natural disasters is gradually growing larger and faster, increasing the economic loss. Especially, as for the domestic storm damage, the damage from strong wind was found to be greater than the damage from torrential rain. Also, strong wind was found to be inflicting a great damage on human life, property and agricultural crops, so the necessity to study damage restoration from strong wind is increasing. Nevertheless, the damage items categorized in the domestic disaster year book are often comprehensive or unclear in criteria, and thus fail to reflect items or matters due to actual disaster damage. It is difficult to aggregate damage accurately such that it does not correspond to the national compensation scope or the damage amount is calculated according to subjective judgment of the investigator in charge. As such, if the disaster information management is inadequate by not applying accurate categorization criteria from damage amount calculation, there can be an issue with fairness when paying the damage support aid. Therefore, this study suggested a categorization plan for objective and efficient execution of disaster information management task in order to resolve such issues. It is expected that quick and efficient execution would be possible in disaster information management and task procedure domestically by constructing systematic categorization system related to disaster information.

  • As urbanization accelerates and facilities that use energy increase, human life and property damage due to fire is increasing. Therefore, a fire monitoring system capable of quickly detecting a fire is required to reduce economic loss and human damage caused by a fire. In this study, we aim to develop an improved artificial intelligence model that can increase the accuracy of low fire alarms by mixing DeepSORT, which has strengths in object tracking, with the YOLOv5s model. In order to develop a fire detection model that is faster and more accurate than the existing artificial intelligence model, DeepSORT, a technology that complements and extends SORT as one of the most widely used frameworks for object tracking and YOLOv5s model, was selected and a mixed model was used and compared with the YOLOv5s model. As the final research result of this paper, the accuracy of YOLOv5s model was 96.3% and the number of frames per second was 30, and the YOLOv5s_DeepSORT mixed model was 0.9% higher in accuracy than YOLOv5s with an accuracy of 97.2% and number of frames per second: 30.

  • The fire in Ulsan in 2020 was a 33-story residential and commercial complex with about 90 injuries and more than 10 billion won in property damage, and considering the recent increase in high-rise residential and commercial complexes, the risk of similar fires is high. As can be seen through the residential and commercial complex fire case in Ulsan, life-based fire safety standards need to be established to minimize casualties. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to draw improvements for the development of human safety standards for high-rise residential facilities in the future through comparison with the Korean Building Act, Firefighting-rellated Acts and the U.S. NFPA 101.

  • In this study for the development of area due to the increasing of industry, population and spreading of urbanization is rapidly increasing but about seventy percent of our nation's areas consists of the mountainous districts. In such case, when those areas have the heavy rains break, they are washed away by a fast-flowing stream of a valley and overflowed. Thus it could result on human life and property damage and also the widespread of flood damage in the downstream area. To decrease those damage, the construction of flood control reservoir is necessary. This research was aim to construct the flood runoff models of a mountainous small district and to determine the probability rainfall by analyzing precipitation. The study also examined the effects of location and size of flood control reservoir on flood reduction. The result showed that the construction of detention basin was an effective way to ensure the safety of flood control and multiple detention basin had superior result for reducing amount of runoff in the down stream area than the single detention basin.

  • The necessary consequence by the rapid economic growth in large-scale urban excavation is increasing. If the site is the congested in downtown, the scale of excavation will get the large-scale and the extreme depth. We have achieved a high level technology internationally by the design and construction of underground excavation since 1980's. But the accidents during excavation are frequently occurring. So, this demage instigates the human life loss as well as economical loss. The recent accident is come about the damage for public facilities such as the railroad, subway and etc. in addition to the loss of life and property. For these reasons, the recent accident is being caused the damage of copious social overhead capital. The reasons of collapse during excavation can be classified roughly into the administrative part(sanction, permission), the investigation and design, the construction and management and etc. In this study the close check for the cases of the recent collapse is performed and the improvement course for the prevention of collapse is found.
