Objectives:This study was to compare verbal memory ability among patients with schizophrenia, bipolar manic patients and unipolar depressive patients, and to understand their charicteristics of memory process. Methods:All subjects were hospitalized patients and had been interviewed by using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV(SCID). Schizophrenic patients(N=40), bipolar manic patients(N=17), and unipolar depressive patients(N=20) were assessed with K-AVLT for verbal memory and with K-WAIS for verbal IQ. Three groups were compared regarding total immediate recall, delayed recall, delayed recognition, learning curve, memory retention, and retrieval efficiency under controlled verbal IQ. Multiple regression analysis was performed to find which clinical factors have an influence on verbal memory ability. Results:In MANCOVA, differences of verbal memory test scores among the groups were statistically significant(F=1.800, p<.05). In post hoc analysis, Patients with schizophrenia and bipolar mania showed poorer performance in immediate recall, delayed recall, delayed recognition, retrieval efficiency than unipolar depres- sive patients. And schizophrenics performed poorly in delayed recall, delayed recognition, retrieval efficiency than nonpsychotic affective disorder group, but no difference in total immediate recall, delayed recall, delayed recognition, retrieval efficiency between the schizophrenic group and the psychotic affective group. Conclusions:These results partially confirm previous reports of verbal memory ability among major psychiatric disorders. Our results showed that psychotic symptoms were related with verbal memory, and longer duration of illness was related with poorer performance in schizophrenia and unipolar depression.

Grains display characteristics of both elastic bodies and viscous fluids when they are subjected to mechanical treatments in harvesting, handling, and processing. This viscoelastic behavior of grains when mechanically stressed must be fully understood to establish maximum machine efficiency and have a minimum degree of grain damage and the highest quality of the final product. The studies were conducted to examine the effect of the moisture content, the loading rate and the initial deformation on the stress relaxation behavior of whole kernel of rough rice, and develop the rheological model to represent its stress relaxation behavior. The following results were obtained from the study. 1. Moisture content had the greatest influence on the initial portion of the relaxation curve. With elapsing time the lower moisture content resulted in the lower residual stress for the Japonica-type rough rice and vice versa for the Indica-type rough rice. But within the ranges of moisture content tested, the degree of stress relaxation per unit strain on the Indica-type rough rice was a little higher than those on the Japonica-type rough rice. 2. The slower loading rate resulted in less initial stress. The decreasing trend of residual stress for all the samples tested with increasing loading rate was shown. 3. The higher initial deformation for all the samples resulted in less initial stress. The increasing of amount of stress relaxation per unit strain with increase of initial stress indicated that viscoelastic properties of rough rice depended not only upon duration of load applied but also initial stress applied. This means that rough rice is nonlinear viscoelastic material. 4. The compression stress relaxation properties of rough rice kernel can be described by a generalized Maxwell model representing by the Maxwell elements.

수질오염총량관리제도(TMDL)는 유역의 수질 회복 및 관리를 위해 우리나라를 비롯해 미국의 여러 주에서 수립되어 적용되고 있다. 현재 미국에서는 유역 관리를 위한 TMDL의 기준설정에 있어 오염부하지속곡선(LDC)의 활용이 급격히 증가되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 LDC 방법은 사용자로 하여금 충분한 교육이 필요하고 LDC 생성을 위한 데이터 구축이 수동적으로 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 Web GIS 기반의 LDC 시스템이 개발되어 활용되고 있다. 웹기반의 LDC 시스템은 미국 지질 조사국(USGS)이나 한국 환경부(MOE) 서버 등을 통해 구축된 자료를 이용하여 오염부하지속곡선을 생성하기까지의 모든 과정이 자동으로 처리되어 기존 수작업에 의한 방법의 단점을 보완하고 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 우리나라 수질오염 총량 관리제도 단위유역인 낙본A와 금본C, 그리고 미국 인디애나 주의 Yellow River와 펜실베이니아 주의 Borkenstraw Creek 유역을 대상으로 웹기반 LDC 시스템을 이용하여 유역의 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 유량 및 수질 자료는 본 시스템에서 연계된 환경부 서버와 USGS 서버를 통해 구축하였다. 분석 결과 낙본 A 단위유역의 BOD 오염부하량과 농도가 대체적으로 목표수질 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났으나 전반적으로 유량이 적을 때 다소 목표수질을 초과하고 있는 나타나, 적합한 수질관리 대책이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 금본 C 단위유역의 경우 대부분 BOD 배출부하량이 할당 부하량보다 낮게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있고, 목표수질 농도에 비해 배출되는 BOD 농도 또한 대체적으로 낮은 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 Yellow River 유역의 경우는 유량이 많을 때 배출되는 수질농도가 목표수질을 초과하는 것으로 보아 강우시 배출되는 오염물에 대한 대책이 요구되고, Borkenstraw Creek 유역의 경우 유량이 적을 때를 제외하고 대부분 구간에서 배출부하량이 할당부하량을 초과하여 이에 대한 적합한 수질관리가 필요할 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과에서 나타난 바와 같이 웹기반 LDC 시스템을 통해 수질오염총량관리제도 단위유역에 대한 수질 평가 및 특성 분석이 용이하며 수질 회복을 위한 근본적인 해결방법을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential life-saving modality for severely injured patients. However, the long-term use of MV is a major risk factor for late mortality. The surgical correction of long bone fractures plays a critical role not only in improving functional outcomes, but also in reducing physiological derangements, including MV duration. This study investigated the factors affecting prolonged MV (PMV) in severely injured patients with femur fractures. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all severely injured patients (injury severity score >15) with femur fractures who were taken to the emergency department within 12 hours of the causative accidents between January 2016 and December 2018. PMV was defined as MV lasting for ≥7 days. We analyzed the factors affecting PMV. Results: In total, 35 patients were enrolled and 21 (33.3%) were included in the PMV group. The PMV group required more red blood cell (RBC) transfusions within 7 days RBC (7dRBC) (12.8 vs. 6.8 units; p=0.03) and the time to femur fracture fixation (TFFF) was longer (7.9 vs. 2.7 days; p=0.018). The area under the curve (AUC) for TFFF was 0.740 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.572-0.908; p=0.018) and the AUC for 7dRBC was 0.718 (95% CI: 0.546-0.889; p=0.031). Conclusions: This study indicates that TFFF is an independent risk factor for PMV. Early fixation of femur fractures might prevent PMV and its associated complications.

Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) are typically used to provide over current protection for electrical safety caused by short circuit faults and overloads in indoor low voltage power systems. The MCCB automatically connects and disconnects loads from the electrical source when the current reaches a value and duration that will cause an excessive. However, the MCCB sometimes is not interrupted due to a malfunction, nuisance tripping, or in a fire. Ensuring electrical safety is very important in a indoor low voltage power system. This paper presents the operating characteristics of MCCBs according to a temperature rise from room temperature to 160 degrees Celsius delivered by a radiant panel heater. The ABS 54c(rated current: 30A) of the hydraulic magnetic trip type was used in the experiments. The signals of temperature, voltage, and current were measured using the high accuracy Signal Conditioning Extensions for Instrumentation (SCXI) measurement system with the LabVIEW program manufactured by National Instruments. The operating characteristics were measured as functions of current amplitude and ramp-up rate. The MCCB tripping time decreased as a result of increasing current amplitude and ramp-up rate under a temperature rise condition, because the temperature and level of the current are directly proportional to the tripping time. Additionally, an instantaneous operation was observed after 8 times of the rated current, and the MCCB began to melt a surface temperature of around 300 degrees Celsius of. The experimental results coincided well with the operating curve.

Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used in estimation of flow and water quality at various watersheds worldwide, and it has an auto-calibration tool that could calibrate the flow and water quality data automatically from thousands of simulations. However, only continuous measured day flow/water quality data could be used in the current SWAT auto-calibration tool. Therefore, 8-day interval flow and water quality data measured nationwide by Korean Ministry of Environment (MOE) could not be used in SWAT auto-calibration even though long-term flow and water quality data in the Korean Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) watersheds available. In this study, current SWAT auto-calibration was modified to calibrate flow and water quality using 8-day interval flow and water quality data. As a result of this study, the Nash and Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) values for flow estimation using auto-calibration are 0.77 (calibration period) and 0.68 (validation period), and NSE value for water quality (T-P load) estimation (using the 8-day interval water quality data) is 0.80. The enhanced SWAT auto-calibration could be used in the estimation of continuous flow and water quality data at the outlet of TMDL watersheds and ungaged point of watersheds. In the next study, the enhanced SWAT auto-calibration will be integrated with Web based Load Duration Curve (LDC) system, and it could be suggested as methods of appraisal of TMDL in South Korea.

지속시간과 생기빈도에 따른 홍수량 산정은 여러 수문분야 적용에 있어 매우 유용하며 홍수관련 설계인자를 첨두홍수량 중심에서 지속시간에 대응하는 홍수량으로 확장할 필요가 있다고 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 한강유역 관측 홍수량의 홍수량-지속기간-빈도 분석을 위하여 샘플지역인 한강대교와 여주 지점의 수위자료와 수위-유량 관계식을 사용한 유출량 자료를 활용하여 경험적 QdF곡선과 이론적 QdF모형을 제시하였다. 지속시간에 따른 분석을 위하여 이동평균자료를 사용하여 획득된 지속기간별 연 최대홍수량 자료를 추출하였다. 한강대교 QdF 곡선의 변동특성은 지속기간과 재현기간이 증가함에 따른 최대홍수량 변화폭이 크게 증가하지 않음을 나타내고 이는 한강대교 지점의 유량이 대표하는 유역이 매우 크며 상류의 댐에 의한 홍수통제 등 인위적 영향에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 유역 환경변화로 인한 자료 특성변화에 대한 영향 분석을 위하여 댐건설 전후를 분리한 자료를 이용한 QdF 곡선을 작성, 분석하였다. 댐 건설 전후 강수 자료 자체의 특성 변화와 댐 건설 후 자료기간의 한계를 가짐에도 불구하고 분석결과 댐건설 전후 자료에 대한 QdF 곡선은 댐건설로 인한 유출량 영향 파악을 가능케 하였다. 여주 지점의 QdF 곡선은 지속기간과 빈도변화에 따른 변화양상이 대상 지역 계획홍수량을 넘어서는 자료가 많음을 보였다. 이는 유출량 산정을 위해서 제시된 수위-유량 관계식의 적용범위를 넘어서는 값의 발생으로 인한 인위적인 조정에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 지점별로 분석자료의 타당성 및 정상성을 점검하고 자료에 타당한 개선된 QC과정이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 충주댐 건설전후의 여주 지점 QdF 분석 결과는 특히 댐 건설 후 QdF 곡선의 변화 양상은 댐 건설 후 자료에 대한 새로운 형태의 이론적 QdF모형 제시가 필요함을 보여주었다.

Objectives: This study was undertaken to investigate the source of infection and mode of transmission of shigellosis, which occurred sporadically among residents and students in a subcounty of Cheongwon county, Chungbuk province, Korea, from June 4 to July 3 2003. Methods: 692 subjects completed a questionnaire and provided a swab for microbiological examinations,and 7 environmental specimens were examined for bacterial organisms. PFGE (pulsed-field gel electrophoresis) and fingerprinting were performed to find the genetic relationship among the temporally associated sporadic isolates. Results: A total of 29 patients had symptoms consistent with the case definition, with 13 confirmed and 16 suspected cases. The frequency of diarrhea was 6 times or more a day (80.8%), with a duration of 1 to 4 days (88.5%) in most cases. The most common symptoms accompanying the diarrhea were fever (80.9%) followed by abdominal pain (76.9%), headache (65.4%), chill (61.5%), vomiting (46.2%) and tenesmus (15.4%). The epidemic curve was characteristic of a person-to-person transmission. The PFGE and fingerprinting demonstrated identical or similar DNA patterns among the 3 Shigella sonnei isolates (A51, A53 and A61 types) found in this outbreak. Conclusion: A genetically identical strain of S. sonnei was estimated to be the cause of this outbreak, and the mode of transmission was most likely person-to-person.

In korea, TMDL is being implemented to manage nonpoint pollution sources as well as point pollution sources. LDC is being used for the planning of TMDL. In order to analyze the water quality using LDC, it is necessary to prepare FDC using the daily flow data. However, only the daily flow data is measured at the WAMIS branch, and 8days flow data and water quality data are measured at the monitoring Networks. So, in many researches, the water quality is being grasped by deriving the LDC using the 8days flow or the daily flow obtained by various methods. These fluctuations may lead to differences in determining whether the target load is achieved. In this study, each LDC was prepared using the 8day flow and the related daily flow. Then, the effect using different flow data on the achievement of target load was compared according to flow conditions. As a result, the difference ratio in the number of overloads under flow condition was showed 19% in high flows, 42% in moist conditions, 49% in mid-range flows, 41% in dry conditions, and 104% in low flows. In the top ten watershed with the highest difference ratio, the flow became lower the difference ration increases. These differences can cause uncertainty in assessing the achievement of target load using LDC. Therefore, in order to evaluate the water quality accurately and reliably using LDC, accurate daily flow data and water quality data should be secured through the installation of national nonpoint measurement network.
