낙동강 하구의 지형변화를 포함한 제 해양환경은 낙동강 하굿둑이 건설된 1987년 7월 이후로 분기된다. 즉, 낙동강 하굿둑이 건설되기 전에는 낙동강의 작은 하상구배로 담수와 해수가 혼합되는 구역이 현재의 하굿둑 보다 상류에 위치하였으나 하굿둑 건설 이후에는 하굿둑 수문 조작에 따라 방류되는 유출수에 의해 유동 양상이 변화되기에, 낙동강 하굿둑의 방류량을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다 하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하굿둑 제원, 방류패턴, 하굿둑 주변 강수량, 하굿둑 방류량을 분석하였다. 또한, 낙동강 하굿둑 방류량에 의한 유사량 분석을 수행하여, 낙동강 하류역의 지형변동의 기초자료를 제공하였다. 연구결과, 낙동강 하굿둑 방류량은 최근 13년 동안의 연평균방류량은 $19,274.56{\times}106m^3$이고 일평균 방류량은 $52.81{\times}106m^3$이고 초당평균 방류량은 $611.19m^3$으로 산정되었다. 낙동강 하굿둑 건설 이후 퇴사량과 준설량을 근거하여 계산된 연간 평균 총유사량은 $3,184,405m^3/yr$이고, 낙동강 하굿둑의 경우 연평균 부유사량이 $3,153,995m^3/yr$, 소류사량이 $30,410m^3/yr$이며 소유사량이 부유사량의 약 1.0%로 나타났다.

With the government's support using new and renewable energy, photovoltaic equipment has been rapidly supplied. However, compared to supply rate, maintenance has not supported enough and relevant research has not much conducted. Even though large power plant facilities have been maintained well, small equipment for detached houses has been rarely maintained. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze maintenance effectiveness of photovoltaic equipment for detached houses. It was analyzed that photovoltaic equipments were merely maintained. What is the most important in maintenance effectiveness is increase of power generation. It was estimated that if photovoltaic equipment for detached houses is maintained well, power generation increases by 6.5% at least. That produces the same effect as the additional supply of photovoltaic equipment to 9,700 households. As a result, it is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the government's budget investment through well maintenance of photovoltaic equipments.

This study was intended to investigate dietary behavior, health related behavior and the effects of nutrient intake of female college students. Dietary behavior, health related behavior and the perception of the body conditions were surveyed with anonymous questionnaires, and 24hrs recall method for nutrient intake was obtained from 161 female college students in Chungbuk area. The mean height and weight of the subjects were $161.4{\pm}5.0$cm and $53.8{\pm}7.4 $kg, respectively. The dietary behavior of female college students was generally inadequate. More specifically, irregularity of meals, indifference of dietary balance, and skipping breakfast, showing $4.77{\pm}2.20$for dietary behavior score, $11.76{\pm}3.89$ for DVS and $3.58{\pm}0.82$ for DDS, respectively. It was found that almost 63% of subjects did not anything for health care and the frequency of exercise of subjects was low. The perception of body conditions of the subjects seemed to be generally positive. However, satisfaction levels on body shape was very negative showing that only 12.4% of subjects answered as 'very satisfied' and 'satisfied'. When nutrient intake of the female college students was compared with Dietary Reference Intake for Korean, folate(45%), potassium(55%), vitamin C(59%), Ca(72%), fiber(72%), Fe(79%) and energy(80%) were found to be insufficient. But protein(138%), P(122%) and Na(179%) were found to be oversupplied. The nutrient intake of fiber, plant Ca, vitamin A, ${\beta}$-carotene, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folate and vitamin E were significantly higher, and those of Fe, Zn and protein were a little high in the high score group of dietary behavior. Also Food group intake, DDS and DVS were higher in the high score group of dietary behavior.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop new meal planning tools for a nutritionally balanced diet. Methods: Based on the food exchange list for diabetes, we adjusted the food group classification system to reflect the suggested nutritional factors for chronic disease prevention and health promotion. We developed a nutritionally balanced dietary profile for adults and compared it with the dietary reference intakes for Koreans (KDRIs) and the food pattern recommended by the Korean Diabetes Association. Results: The newly developed menu planning tools are the LOHAS food exchange table and the LOHAS food pattern. Our recommended daily 1,800 kcal dietary composition for adults is as follows: The carbohydrate food group consists of 4 'whole grains', 3 'refined grains', 2 'sugars', 9 'vegetables', 3 'starchy vegetables', 2 'fruits' and 1 'high sugar fruits'. The protein food group includes 3 'plant protein foods', 3 'animal protein foods (low-fat)', and 1 'animal protein foods (high-fat)'. The fat food group consists of 2 'oils and nuts' and 1 'solid fats'. The total number of calories is estimated at 1,840 kcal and the energy ratio is 62% carbohydrate, 18% protein, 20% fat, 6.8% saturated fat and 13.2% sugars. Using the LOHAS food exchange table, it is possible to estimate values of saturated fat, unsaturated fat, dietary fiber, and sugars besides carbohydrate, protein and fat. It is also possible to compose a dietary design considering carbohydrate, sugars, saturated fat and dietary fiber. The LOHAS food pattern provides benefits for the management of both institutional food services and individual meals, as it can help reduce the levels of saturated fat and sugar intake and help develop healthy meals rich in unsaturated fats and dietary fiber. Conclusions: The LOHAS food exchange table and LOHAS food pattern are expected to be practical tools for designing and evaluating nutritionally balanced diets.

We have screened the cytoprotective effect on $\gamma$-ray radiation induced oxidative stress from eighteen Korean plant extracts. Querus salicina, Clerodendron trichotomum, Lamium amplexicaule, Lozoste lancifolia and Malus baccata were found to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). As a result, extracts of these plants reduced cell death of Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79-4) cells induced by $H_2O_2$ treatment. In addition, these extracts protected cell death of V79-4 cells damaged by $\gamma$-ray radiation. In addition, these extracts scavenged ROS generated by radiation. Taken together, the results suggest that Quercus salicina, Clerodendron trichotomum, Lamium amplexicaule, Lozoste lancifolia and Malus baccata protect V79-4 cells against oxidative damage by radiation through scavenging ROS.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the piping failure frequency for the main feedwater system in domestic nuclear power plants(NPPs) for the application to an in-service inspection(ISI), leak before break(LBB) concept, aging management program(AMP), and probabilistic safety analysis(PSA). First, a database was developed for piping failure events in domestic NPPs, and 23 domestic piping failure events were collected. Among the 23 events, 12 locations of wall thinning due to flow accelerated corrosion(FAC) were identified in the main feedwater system in 4 domestic WH 3-loop NPPs. Two types of the piping failure frequency such as the damage frequency and rupture frequency were considered in this study. The damage frequency was calculated from both the plant population data and damage(s) including crack, wall thinning, leak, and/or rupture, while the rupture frequency was estimated by using both the well-known Jeffreys method and a new method considering the degradation due to FAC. The results showed that the damage frequencies based on the number of the base metal piping susceptible to FAC ranged from $1.26{\times}10^{-3}/cr.yr\;to\;3.91{\times}10^{-3}/cr.yr$ for the main feedwater system of domestic WH 3-loop NPPs. The rupture frequencies obtained from the Jeffreys method for the main feedwater system were $1.01{\times}10^{-2}/cr.yr\;and\;4.54{\times}10^{-3}/cr.yr$ for the domestic WH 3-loop NPPs and all the other domestic PWR NPPs respectively, while those from the new method considering the degradation were higher than those from the Jeffreys method by about an order of one.

The shield building of AP1000 was designed to protect the steel containment vessel of the nuclear reactor. Therefore, the safety and integrity must be ensured during the plant life in any conditions such as an earthquake. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of water in the water tank on the response of the AP1000 shield building when subjected to three-dimensional seismic ground acceleration. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) and finite element method (FEM) coupling method is used to numerically simulate the fluid and structure interaction (FSI) between water in the water tank and the AP1000 shield building. Then the grid convergence of FEM and SPH for the AP1000 shield building is analyzed. Next the modal analysis of the AP1000 shield building with various water levels (WLs) in the water tank is taken. Meanwhile, the pressure due to sloshing and oscillation of the water in the gravity drain water tank is studied. The influences of the height of water in the water tank on the time history of acceleration of the AP1000 shield building are discussed, as well as the distributions of amplification, acceleration, displacement, and stresses of the AP1000 shield building. Research on the relationship between the WLs in the water tank and the response spectrums of the structure are also taken. The results show that the high WL in the water tank can limit the vibration of the AP1000 shield building and can more efficiently dissipate the kinetic energy of the AP1000 shield building by fluid-structure interaction.

In this study, a penalty cost appropriation methodology for CGAM performance acceptance test was suggested. As the result of CGAM performance test, there were 0.31% decreases in electricity output, 0.39% decreases in heat rate on electricity output, 0.31% increases in heat output, and 0.23% increases in heat rate on heat output. As the result of penalty cost appropriation for above performance, the penalty cost was calculated as -$20,837 in electricity output, -$25,930 in heat rate on electricity output, +$10,340 in heat output, and +$7,715 in heat rate on heat output. Each penalty is appropriated as above fore kinds, however the total penalty should be determined as how to combine above fore kinds of penalty. In our calculation, the minimum total penalty was -$18,215 and the maximum total penalty was -$46,767. The methodology of total penalty appropriation should be determined in the contract between ordering organization and construction firm, and we can understand that it is very important.

Landscape changes for 20 years between 1981 and 2001 in the Wangsuk stream basin located on the central Korea were investigated on the basis of physiognomic vegetation map made from the aerial photograph interpretation and field check. Changes of landscape structure were noticeable in agricultural field and forest landscape elements. Changes in the agricultural fields due to transformation of agricultural pattern into the institutional agriculture dominated landscape change, although urbanization also contributed to such change. The former change due to change of food production structure originated from socio-economic development during this period and the latter to the overpopulation of Seoul. As energy sources for heating and cooking, fertilizer, and fodder for livestock transform from plant materials to fossil fuel, manufactured one, and grain, succession of forest escaped from direct human disturbance dominated change of landscape structure in forested land. Differently from the positive landscape change in the upper area, change in the lower area deteriorated landscape quality by increasing artificial land. It was estimated that such landscape deterioration in the Wangsuk stream basin would influence water quality of the stream. In order to realize sustainable land-use against such environmental degradation, systematic environmental management based on landscape ecological perspective such as "an eco-plan for creating riparian vegetation belt," which is under preparation by Ministry of Environment, was recommended.

Human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (hCTLA4Ig), an immunosuppressive agent, was expressed in transgenic rice cells using RAmy3D promoter and RAmy1A signal peptide for the inducible production and secretion into culture media by sugar depletion. In this study, sodium butyrate was used as a small molecular enhancer (SME) to enhance the production of hCTLA4Ig in transgenic rice cell suspension cultures. When 1 mM sodium butyrate was added in sugar-free media, relative viability was not reduced, while the productivity was improved 1.3-fold. In addition, by supplementing 87 mM sodium pyruvate as an alternative energy source during the production phase, death rate of the cells was decreased. When sodium pyruvate was not added, most cells became dead at day 6. However, by adding sodium pyruvate, 18% of viability can be maintained until day 10 and the production of hCTLA4Ig was enhanced 1.4-fold. When the combination of sodium pyruvate and sodium butyrate at optimum concentrations was added, the highest viability and hCTLA4Ig production could be obtained. The highest level of hCTLA4Ig reached up to 35 mg/L at day 10.
