Cellular automata have been applied to simulations in many fields such as astrophysics, social phenomena, fire spread, and evacuation. Using cellular automata, this study develops a model for consequence analysis of the dispersion of hazardous chemicals, which is required for risk assessments of and emergency responses for frequent chemical accidents. Unlike in cases of detailed plant safety design, real-time accident responses require fast and iterative calculations to reduce the uncertainty of the distribution of damage within the affected area. EPA ALOHA and KORA of National Institute of Chemical Safety have been popular choices for these analyses. However, this study proposes an initiative to supplement the model and code continuously and is different in its development of free software, specialized for small and medium enterprises. Compared to the full-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which requires large amounts of computation time, the relative accuracy loss is compromised, and the convenience of the general user is improved. Using Python open-source libraries as well as meteorological information linkage, it is made possible to expand and update the functions continuously. Users can easily obtain the results by simply inputting the layout of the plant and the materials used. Accuracy is verified against full-scale CFD simulations, and it will be distributed as open source software, supporting GPU-accelerated computing for fast computation.

This study sets out to investigate the installation of royal kilns and its impact on local kilns, taking note of celadon vase with inlaid cloud pattern in Joseon Dynasty. For that purpose, it determined the kilns and period to produce celadon vases with inlaid cloud pattern, and compared them with the pattern, design, and deformity of the celadon vases produced in the royal kilns in the 15th centuries. The celadon vase with inlaid cloud pattern was superior in quality than the porcelain for tribute ware manufactured together in Jeolla Province before the installation of royal kilns. And then a majority of sagijangs at local kiln had difficult time securing enough supply of manpower and resources, and discontinued manufacturing the celadon vase with inlaid cloud pattern. En revanche, celadon vases with inlaid cloud pattern produced from specially fixed royal kilns reflected the local sagijang's skill. Local kilns were strongly influenced by the installation of royal kilns. Those could not freely use high-quality white clay, limited to the market. Besides, most of the skillful sagijangs were assigned to royal kilns. Celadon vases with inlaid cloud pattern can be used as evidence to show that the manufacturing technique was transferred from local kilns to the royal kilns as well as to show that their production in royal kilns soon became stabilized.

Objectives: The effects of particulate matter and ozone on health are being reported in a number of studies. These effects are likely to be stronger on the elderly population, but studies in this regard are scarce. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of particulate matter ${\leq}2.5{\mu}m$ and ozone on the acute health status of the elderly population. Methods: In order to analyze the health status of the elderly population, the NHIS-Senior Cohort data was used. In this study of people 60 years or older in Seoul, the number of outpatient visits and ER visits between 2002 and 2013 were calculated. Each disorder and the lag effect were analyzed separately. Particulate matter and ozone were analyzed using both the single exposure model and the adjusted multi-exposure model. Results: In the single exposure analysis with PM2.5 as the exposure variable, with each increase of $10{\mu}g/m^3$, the number of outpatient visits increased by 1.0081 times, vascular disease 1.0065 times, chronic pulmonary disease 1.0086 times, and diabetes 1.0055 times. In the multi-exposure model adjusting for ozone, the number of outpatient visits increased by 1.0066 times. There was a one-day lag effect and 1.0066 times increase between PM2.5 and ER visits in the multi-exposure model and 1.0057 times when adjusted for ozone (p value <0.10). There was a one-day lag effect in all multi-exposure models with ozone as the main variable, and when the particulate matter was adjusted, there was a one-day delay and 1.0143 times increase in ER visits. Conclusions: In our study, an increase in the number of outpatient and ER visits in the elderly population in accordance with the increase in PM2.5 and ozone was found. The association found in our study could also produce a socioeconomic burden. Future studies need to be performed in regards to younger populations and other air pollutants.

Since the early 2010s, the social importance of research and practical projects targeting deep geological disposal of high-level nuclear waste, underground CO₂ storage and characterization of deep subsurface by borehole investigation has been increasing. In this regard, there is also a significant increase in the need for in situ test technology to obtain quantitative and reliable information on the hydraulic characteristics of deep rock mass. Through years of research and development, we have independently set up Deep borehole Hydraulic Test System (DHTS) based on the key apparatuses designed and made with our own technology. Using this system, high precision constant pressure injection tests were successfully completed at the two 1 km boreholes located in Mesozoic granite and sedimentary rock regions, Gyeongju. During the field tests, it was possible to measure very low flow rate below 0.01 l/min with micro flow rate injection/control module. In this paper, the major characteristics of DHTS are introduced and also some results obtained from the high precision field tests under the deep and low permeable rock mass environment are briefly discussed.

Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the nutritional status, nutritional support, and nutritional indicators of critically ill patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO) in intensive care units (ICU). Methods: This descriptive study obtained data from the medical records of 37 patients who were treated using ECMO at a university hospital in Korea. The patients were admitted to the Korea University Anam Hospital ICU with acute or serious damage to vital organs from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016. Results: Although 32 patients (86.5%) were at a high risk of malnutrition, 26 patients (70.3%) were considered normal in terms of nutritional status by the nutritionist at the beginning of their ICU stay. However, after two weeks, nine patients had passed away and only one patient maintained normal status. Parenteral nutrition was started first but took 4.25 ± 6.95 days till initiation. Only eight patients (21.6%) were able to meet their requirement for both calories and protein. The group provided with adequate calorie and protein showed significantly longer use of the ECMO and respirator and longer ICU and total hospital stay than their counterparts. Normal levels of serum albumin and protein of the group at low-risk for malnutrition on the day of initiation of ECMO, which were significantly higher than the high-risk group, declined by the last day of ECMO leading to a lack of significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: Considering that the nutritional indicators of patients deteriorated as the days on ECMO increased, more aggressive nutritional management to ensure adequate nutritional support should be emphasized from the beginning and throughout the ICU stay.

정향풀[Amsonia ellipotica (Thumb.) Roem. & Schult.]은 5월에 백색의 취산꽃차례로 개화하여 관상가치가 높다고 판단되나, 전국에 자생지가 10곳 미만이며 한국적색목록에 위기종(EN)으로 평가되어 체계적인 번식 및 재배법 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구는 유전자원보전 및 신 관상소재로 개발 가능한 정향풀의 효과적인 육묘법을 확립하고자 수행되었다. 실험재료는 유용식물증식센터에서 분양받은 종자를 사용하였으며, 파종용기(72, 105 및 128구 트레이), 파종립수(셀 당 1, 2 및 4립), 토양종류(원예상토 단용 및 중화 피트모스와 펄라이트를 3:1 또는 4:1로 혼용), Hyponex[미분(6.5-6-19)] 추비농도(0, 250, 500 및 $1000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) 및 차광정도(0, 55 및 75%)를 달리하여 2019년 4월 20일부터 8주 동안 육묘하였다. 연구의 공통사항으로 종자를 $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$에24시간 침지한 다음 원예상토를 충진한 105구 트레이에 셀 당 1립씩 파종하였으며, 이후 2, 4주차에 $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Hyponex를 엽면시비하였다. 연구의 결과, 파종용기는 셀 당 용적량이 많을수록 초장, 경직경, 엽수, 지상부 및 지하부 생체중이 증가하는 경향이었다. 파종립수에 따른 생육은 1립 파종 시 가장 우수하였으나, 2립 파종한 묘의 개체 당 생체중이 비교적 양호함에 따라 트레이 상 풍성한 볼륨감을 나타내었다. 추비처리의 농도가 증가할수록 유묘의 생육이 증가하는 경향이었으며, $1000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구에서 초장, 경직경, 엽수 및 생체중이 유의적으로 높았다. 한편 차광처리 시 차광정도에 관계없이 경직경, 엽수, 마디수 및 지상부 생체중이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 따라서 정향풀은 용적량이 큰 72구 트레이에 원예상토를 충진한 다음 셀 당 2립씩 파종하여 차광하지 않은 양지에서 Hyponex $1000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 추비하는 것이 관상목적으로 육묘하기 위한 효과적인 재배법으로 판단된다.

This study analyzes the determinants and patterns of regional migration in Myanmar. Population migration is affected by various factors such as economic and social factors as well as regional characteristics. It is affected by factors such as income, employment and social overhead capital. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the following two research problems. First, I would like to analyze whether the reform and opening of Myanmar is causing the migration of rural to urban population. Myanmar is also trying to verify the pattern of population migration experienced by other developing countries. Second, we analyze the impact of social overhead capital on population migration in Myanmar. We analyze the impact of basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water on population movements. This will give implications for investment policy decision of social overhead capital for balanced regional development. First, the pattern of population migration in Myanmar is shifting from rural to urban areas, as other developing countries have experienced. Myanmar's urban areas of Yangon and Mandalay have been analyzed as having migration. Second, the expansion of social overhead capital was found to have an impact. Social overhead capital such as roads and educational environments were analyzed to have the capacity to inhale the population. Especially, the educational environment of the region has a great effect on population migration. It is analyzed that education reform is an important policy issue for the balanced regional development of Myanmar. Fourth, employment opportunities were analyzed to have the greatest impact on Myanmar population movements. In the early stage of economic development, it is analyzed that the population moves to a region where employment opportunity is high in the situation where foreign capital is coming in. It is analyzed that the direction of inflow of foreign capital and the imbalance of development in the region will be determined in the situation where the economic development is carried out through foreign capital.

This study investigates the influence of hooked-end steel fiber volume fraction and aspect ratio on the mechanical properties, such as compressive and flexural performance, of concrete with specified compressive strength of 30MPa. Three types of hooked-end steel fibers with aspect ratios of 64, 67 and 80 were selected. The flexural tests of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) prismatic specimens were conducted according to EN 14651. The compressive performance of SFRC with different volume fractions (0.25, 0.50 and 0.75%) were evaluated through standard compressive strength test method (KS F 2405). Experimental results indicated that the flexural strength, flexural toughness, fracture energy of concrete were improved as steel fiber volume fraction increases but there is no unique relationship between steel fiber volume fraction and compressive performance. The flexural and compressive properties of concrete incorporating hooked-end steel fiber with aspect ratio of 64 and 80 are a little better than those of SFRC with aspect ratio of 67. For each SFRC mixture used in the study, the residual flexural tensile strength ratio defined in Model Code 2010 was more than the limit value to be able to substitute rebar or welded mesh in structural members with the fiber reinforcement.
