An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplementation of insoluble dietary fiber (Vitacel®) on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in weanling pigs. A total of 96 pigs that averaged 6.49$\pm$0.52kg BW and 23$\pm$2.1d age were allocated in a randomized block design with two pigs per pen and 12 pens per treatment. Pigs and feeders were weighed 10-days interval for the 40-d trials to determine ADG, ADFI and feed:gain ratio(F:G). Pigs were fed one of four diets:1) Control diet (C) 2) C+0.3% insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) 3) C+0.6% IDF and 4) c+0.9% IDF. For the determination of fecal nutrients digestibility, pigs were fed diets(diet 2) with 1% Celite-545(Fluka) as a marker and feces were collected on $9^{th}$ day and $18^{th}$ day after feeding diet 2. During the whole experimental period, pigs fed diet with 0.3% IDF have significantly higher ADG than other dietary treatment groups(P<0.05). ADG of pigs fed diet with 0.6% IDF was higher than that of pigs fed control diet(P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in ADG between control group and 0.9% IDF group(P>0.05). ADFI of pigs fed diet with 0.3% IDF was significantly higher than any other dietary treatment groups(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ADFI among control group, 0.6% and 0.9% IDF supplementation groups (P>0.05). Digestibilities of organic matter, crude protein, crude fiber and energy were significantly higher in 0.3% IDF supplementation group than any other dietary groups. However, there was no difference in over all nutrient digestibilities between 0.6% and 0.9% IDF group. Feeding diets more than 0.6% IDF did not affect the rest of the nutrients digestibilities except for ADF digestibility compared to control diet. Dietary supplementation level of IDF showed a significant quadratic effect on performance improvement of piglets. This response of growth performance to IDF supplementation is, as expected, in agreement with that of nutrient digestibility. Our results showed that IDF supplementation to diet for weaned piglets might be beneficial in terms of growth and nutrient digestibility. However, there should be more study on the relationship between level of IDF supplementation and piglet response as well as the exact mode of action of IDF in weaned piglets.

Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curve that is essential to calculate rainfall quantiles for designing hydraulic structures in Korea is generally formulated by regression analysis. In this study, IDF curve derived by the cumulative distribution function ("IDF by CDF") of the proper probability distribution function (PDF) of each site is suggested, and the corresponding parameters of IDF curve are computed using genetic algorithm (GA). For this purpose, IDF by CDF and the conventional IDF derived by regression analysis ("IDF by REG") were computed for 22 Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) rainfall recording sites. Comparisons of RMSE (root mean squared error) and RRMSE (Relative RMSE) of rainfall intensities computed from IDF by CDF and IDF by REG show that IDF by CDF is more accurate than IDF by REG. In order to accommodate the effect of the recent intensive rainfall of Korea, the rainfall intensities computed by the two IDF curves are compared with that by at-site frequency analysis using the rainfall data recorded by 2006, and the result from IDF by CDF show the better performance than that from IDF by REG. As a result, it can be said that the suggested IDF by CDF curve would be the more efficient IDF curve than that computed by regression analysis and could be applied for Korean rainfall data.

Six-year-old ginseng roots were divided into rhizome, main root (epidermis, cortex and xylem) and lateral root (big tail root, mid tail root and fine tail root) and the concentration levels of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) in each part of the ginseng were investigated. The amount ratios of SDF to IDF (SDF/IDF) in various parts of the ginseng root were also compared. The concentration levels of SDF and IDF in the ginseng root were 6.56% and 15.41 %, respectively, where the level of SDF in main root was a little higher than that of lateral root. However the amount of IDF in main root was lower than that of lateral root. The SDF/IDF was highest in main root, 0.513, which was higher than that of lateral root or rhizome. The SDF/IDF was 0.704 in xylem, 0.478 in cortex, and 0.099 in epidermis of the main root and the SDF/IDF was 0.576 in big tail root, 0.463 in mid tail root, and 0.255 in fine tail root of the lateral root. It has been reported that SDF might have preventive effects on diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, colon and rectum cancers, while IDF might have preventive effects on constipation. Therefore, main root of six-year- old ginseng root is thought to have a little different physiological activity from lateral or fine tail roots.

IDF(intensity-duration-frequency) 곡선은 재현기간을 고려하여 수공구조물 설계에 필요한 설계강우량을 산정하는데 사용되고 있다. 국내의 경우 IDF 곡선은 지점빈도해석으로부터 지속기간별로 산정되고 있으며 지속기간별 분포형 선택과 같은 많은 가정으로 인해 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 극한 강우량의 스케일 특성을 통해 서로 다른 기간에 걸쳐 통계적으로 접근하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지속기간 24시간의 강우자료로부터 연최대강우량을 추출하여 스케일 특성을 통해 지속기간 24시간 이하 또는 이상의 스케일링(scaling) IDF 곡선을 유도하였다. 본 연구를 위해 k-means 방법으로부터 지역을 구분하여 지역빈도해석을 실시하였고, 기상청 산하의 강우 지점을 미계측 지점으로 가정한 후 하향스케일링(down-scaling)과 상향스케일링(up-scaling)을 적용한 후 지속기간 24시간 이외의 확률강우량을 추정하였으며, 빈도해석 결과와의 비교를 통해 스케일링 IDF 곡선의 적용성을 판단하였다.

In order to aid the derivation of the IDF relationship for a station with insufficient duration-rainfall data, an approach to derive a simple and practical IDF formula is presented. The IDF formula is described simply by the term of the two parameters and a design frequency. The model parameters were estimated from a statistical technique based on the normal distribution of transformed rainfall intensities. In order to give the transformed data, both the Kruskal-Wallis statistic and the Manly transformation of duration-rainfall data were adopted. With the methods, the proposed IDF formula becomes a simpler model that compares well with conventional form. In addition, it allows avoiding an exceptional condition of the higher rainfall intensity for longer duration. The performance of the proposed formula was evaluated by using the limited rainfall data for short duration from two gauge stations. The result showed that the IDF formula developed in this work was an effective tool, providing a reliable relationship between the intensity and duration even though insufficient data are only available.

In May 2021, a major conflict broke out between Israel and Palestine. Fourteen days after the conflict began, a ceasefire between the two sides was signed with the victory of Defense Forces (IDF). One of the reasons why IDF was able to lead the dispute to victory with the minimum damage in the shortest period of time is that the female workforce in IDF turned on. also, there are currently 33% of the female workforce in IDF, and various tasks are carried out in the field by convergence with male workforce. So, in this study, the examples experienced by IDF will provide clues to overcoming the future challenge of Korea's lack of military service resources.

수공구조물을 설계하고 수자원 관리 정책을 수립하기 위해 일반적으로 IDF (Intensity-Duration-Frequency) 곡선을 활용한다. 통상 IDF 곡선은 연최대치계열을 통계적으로 분석하여 재현빈도 마다의 적절한 강우강도를 추정하여 결정한다. 신뢰할 수 있는 결과를 산출하기 위해 최소 30년 이상의 정상 강우자료의 통계분석이 권장되나, 긴 재현기간의 최대강우강도는 본질적으로 확률분포 함수로부터 추정한 값이라는 한계가 있다. 한편, 우리나라에서 종관기상관측을 통해 고해상도의 지상관측 강수자료가 장기간 누적되어 관측자료로부터 직접 최대강우강도-지속시간 사이의 관계식을 도출할 수 있게 되었다. 따라서, 실무에서 널리 사용되고 있는 '홍수량 산정 표준 지침'의 확률강우 분석 결과를 오랫동안 관측된 강우자료에서 찾은 최대강우강도와의 비교가 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 50년 이상 강우가 관측된 24개의 지점에 대해 최대강우강도-지속기간 관계식을 분석하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 통계적으로 추정한 IDF 곡선이 실제 관측자료에서 나타난 최대강우강도를 얼마나 정확하게 추정하는지 검증해 보았다.

Recently, the interest in predicting hot topics has grown significantly as it has become more important to find and analyze meaningful information from a large amount of data flowing in social networking services. Existing hot topic detection schemes do not consider a temporal property, so they are not suitable to predict hot topics that are rapidly issued in a changing society. This paper proposes a hot topic prediction scheme that uses a modified TF-IDF in social networking environments. The modified TF-IDF extracts a candidate set of keywords that are momentarily issued. The proposed scheme then calculates the hot topic prediction scores by assigning weights considering user influence and professionality to extract the candidate keywords. The superiority of the proposed scheme is shown by comparing it to an existing detection scheme. In addition, to show whether or not it predicts hot topics correctly, we evaluate its quality with Korean news articles from Naver.

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers. Hypoxia contributes to the aggressiveness of melanoma by promoting cancer growth and metastasis. Upregulation of cyclin D1 can promote uncontrolled cell proliferation in melanoma, whereas stimulation of cytotoxic T cell activity can inhibit it. Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in melanoma metastasis. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a main transcriptional mediator that regulates many genes related to hypoxia. CoCl₂ is one of the most commonly used hypoxia-mimetic chemicals in cell culture. In this study, inhibitory effects of IDF-11774, an inhibitor of HIF-1α, on melanoma growth and metastasis were examined using cultured B16F10 mouse melanoma cells and nude mice transplanted with B16F10 melanoma cells in the presence or absence of CoCl₂-induced hypoxia. IDF-11774 reduced HIF-1α upregulation and cell survival, but increased cytotoxicity of cultured melanoma cells under CoCl₂-induced hypoxia. IDF-11774 also reduced tumor size and local invasion of B16F10 melanoma in nude mice along with HIF-1α downregulation. Expression levels of cyclin D1 in melanoma were increased by CoCl₂ but decreased by IDF-11774. Apoptosis of melanoma cells and infiltration of cytotoxic T cells were increased in melanoma after treatment with IDF-11774. EMT was stimulated by CoCl₂, but restored by IDF11774. Overall, IDF-11774 inhibited the growth and metastasis of B16F10 melanoma via HIF-1α downregulation. The growth of B16F10 melanoma was inhibited by cyclin D1 downregulation and cytotoxic T cell stimulation. Metastasis of B16F10 melanoma was inhibited by EMT suppression.
