In this study, we measure damage depth and calculate effective impact speed in case of rear-end collision using real car insurance data. We study the relationship between demage depth and effective impact speed, and present statistical model for these two variables. In our real data study, 3-degree polynomial equation model is better fit to effective impact speed and demage depth than the simple linear model that are estimated in previous other studies. Damage depth is a major factor to see the extent of impact in a car collision, and by using this equation, it is possible to evaluate the severity of driver's injury.

In a case of an automobile collision, vehicle damage and injury of the driver and the passenger occur. The scale of the collision which is effected by the extent of vehicle damage and the injury of the passenger, depends on the delta-V. Based on the photograph interpretation o the actual case of accidents in the Seoul and the Incheon area, this study measured the depth of crush and calculated the delta-V. Through verifying the correlation of the depth of crush and the change of velocity, relative equation was evaluated and compared with the prior study results to prove that they are almost identical. Thus, the depth of crush can be used as an index of the degree of impact, which can be utilized as the change of velocity to evaluate the level of injury done to the passengers. However, the period of hospitalization and diagnostics claimed by the injured proves to have no correlation with the delta-V and the extent of vehicle damage, this is due to the non-objective way of diagnosis and the anamnesis of the injured. This study established the absolute limit harmlessness and the choosing limit harmlessness, allowing the appraisal for Yes or No of the injury or the harmlessness based on the prior studies. Moreover, utilizing the relative equation formed between the depth of crush and the delta-V, each case of collision was compared and evaluated in comparison to the limit harmlessness to prove that the 90.4% of the so-called 'claiming-to-be-injured' were exaggerating or fabricating.

To evaluate the structural integrity of the NPP containment building more rigorously, the effective prestress, which is one of the most affecting elements, needs to be estimated exactly. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to determine the effective prestress force in prestressed concrete beams. It is possible to improve the effective prestress measuring method by test beam, which is being applied for the investigation of the nuclear power plant in operation. If experimentally evaluated Lift-Off method in this study can be coupled with test beam test currently being used in in-service nuclear power plant, it is possible to measure prestress loss of the tendon and the level of the effective prestress load.

후미추돌사고가 발생하면 사고의 규모인 차량손상정도와 승차자 상해는 속도변화에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구는 서울, 인천 지역에서 발생한 실제 사고사례자료로부터 사진판독에 의해 손상깊이를 측정하고 사고개황 및 속도에 관한 진술 자료로부터 속도변화를 산출하였으며, 진단기간, 입원일 등 상해발생관련 자료를 수집하였다. 손상깊이와 승차자의 상해.무상해의 유무 및 증상기간의 예측평가를 위한 손상깊이와 입원치료기간에 대한 관계영역도표를 구하여 실증적인 자료와 비교하였다. 또한, 수집한 실제 사고자료의 진단기간 및 입원일 등 상해정도는 통계분석결과 객관적 충격정도인 피추돌차의 손상깊이 및 속도변화와 전혀 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 선행연구와 본 연구의 통계분석결과를 종합하여 설정한 상해역치에 미달하는 대인사고 사례가 약 78.1%로 거짓 또는 과장된 상해주장이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 향후 상해주장에 대한 인정은 사고 규모에 대한 객관적 정보의 제공 및 본 연구에서 제시한 상해역치 수준의 적용은 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

The effect of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang (BZYQT) on the changes of ultraviolet (UV) light B radiation-induced apoptotic sunburn cell (SBC) and epidermal ATPase-positive dendritic cell (DC) in SKH1- hr or ICR mouse were investigated. The mice were treated with UVB (200 mJ/$cm^2$) and were sacrificed 24 h later. BZYQT (50 mg/kg of body weight) or vehicle (saline) was given i.p. at 36 and 12 h before irradiation, and 30 min after irradiation or BZYQT cream (0.2%) or cream base (vehicle) was topically treated at 24 h and 15 min before irradiation, and immediately after irradiation. The skin of SKH1-hr mouse prepared from the back of untreated mice exhibited about 0.3 SBC/cm length of epidermis, and 24 h after UV irradiation, the applied areas show an increased number of SBCs. But the frequency of UVB-induced SBC formation was reduced by intraperitoneal injection of BZYQT extract (p < 0.01). The numbers of DC in normal ICR mouse were 628.00 ${\pm}$ 51.56 or 663.20 ${\pm}$ 62.58 per $mm^2$ of ear epidermis. By 1 day after UVB treatment, the number of ATPase-positive cells/$mm^2$ were decreased by 39.0% or 27.1% in i.p. or topical application group with vehicle. Treatment of BZYQT was associated with increase of 33.9% in i.p. group (p < 0.05) or 2.7% in topical application group in the number of ATPase positive cells compared with the irradiation control group. The results presented herein that BZYQT administration could reduce the extent of skin damages produced by UVB.

The effects of red ginseng (RG) on the changes of ultraviolet (UV) light B radiation-induced apoptotic sun-burn cell (SBC) and epidermal ATPase-positive dendritic cell (DC) in SKH 1-hr or ICR mouse were investigated. The mice were treated with UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$) and were sacrificed 24 hours later. RG (50 mg/kg of body weight) or vehicle (saline) was given i.p. at 36 and 12 hours before irradiation, and 30 minutes after irradiation. RG cream (0.2%) or cream base (vehicle) was also topically treated at 24 hours and 15 minutes before irradiation, and immediately after irradiation. The skin of SKH 1-hr mouse prepared from the back of untreated mice exhibited about 0.3 SBC/cm length of epidermis, and 24 hours after UV irradiation, the applied areas show an increased number of SBCs. But the frequency of UVB-induced SBC formation was significantly reduced by intraperitoneal injection of RG extract. The numbers of DC in normal ICR mouse were $628.00{\pm}51.56\;or\;663.20{\pm}62.58\;per\;mm^2$ of ear epidermis. By 1 day after UVB treatment, the number of ATPase-positive $cells/mm^2$ were decreased by 39.0% or 27.1% in i.p. or topical application group with vehicle. The frequency of UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$)-induced DC decrease was reduced by treatment of RG as 31.3% in i.p. group and 22.4% in topical application group compared with the irradiation control group. The results presented herein that RG administration could reduce the extent of skill damages produced by UVB.

SKH1-hr 및 ICR 마우스에서 자외선 B(UVB) 조사에 의한 피부 일광화상세포(SBC) 및 ATPase 양성 표피 가지세포(DC)의 변화에 대한 대나무(분죽, Phyllostachys nigra var. henenis Strapf) 잎 추출물 (BLE)의 효과를 관찰하였다. 실험동물은 UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$) 조사 후 24시간에 희생시켰으며, BLE는 체중 kg당 50 mg의 용량으로 자외선 조사전 36시간, 12시간 및 조사 후 30분에 3회 복강내 주사하였다. 피부도포군은 0.2%의 용량으로 BLE 크림을 제조하고 자외선 조사전 24시간, 15분 및 조사후 즉시, 총 3회 도포하였다. 정상대조군 등쪽 피부에서는 길이 cm당 0.3개의 SBC가 관찰되었고, 자외선 조사에 따라 급격히 증가하였다. BLE 복강내 주사군(59.0%) 및 피부도포군(31.8%)에서 UVB에 의한 SBC의 발생은 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 정상대조군에서 귀등쪽 피부의 DC수는 $mm^2$당 $628.00{\pm}51.56$ 또는 $663.20{\pm}62.58$개 였으며, UVB 조사후 1일에 복강내 부영제 투여군에서는 39.0%, 부영제 피부 도포군에서는 27.1%감소하였다. 자외선 B조사에 의한 DC의 감소는 부영제를 처리한 UVB 조사군에 비하여, BLE 복강내 투여군에서는 25.7%, 피부도포군에서는 3.2%의 감소억제 효과를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에서 BLE 투여가 UVB에의한 피부손상을 경감시킴을 알 수 있었다.
