  • 질량보존의 법칙과 Darcy의 법칙으로 표현되는 Richards 방정식은 비포화대의 토양수분흐름을 모의하는데 널리 사용되어 왔다. Richards 방정식은 압력수두의 항으로 표현되는 방정식, 토양수분의 항으로 표현되는 방정식, 그리고 이 둘을 혼합한 형태의 방정식 등, 세가지 형태로 표현할 수 있다. 고차의 비선형 항들을 포함하는 이 편미분방정식들을 수치해석방법으로 풀 때, 질량 비보존을 수반하는 오류의 결과가 초래될 수 있다. 세가지 방정식들 중 혼합형 Richards 방정식이, 다른 추가적인 계산없이 질량을 온전히 보존하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 동질성 토양에서의 1차원적 연직방향 비포화수 흐름모의를 위해, Richards 방정식의 질량보존적 수치해석법을 완전음해 유한차분법으로 개발하고, 이를 통해 민감도 분석을 실시하여 토양특성인자들과 토양종류에 따른 침투율의 변화를 살펴보는 데 있다.

  • 폴리스티렌과 싸이클로헥산 용액으로부터 제조된 멤브레인의 미세구조 형성에 미치는 coarsening의 효과를 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 고분자 용액의 열 분석은 DSC를 이용하여 행하여졌으며 demixing peak의 개시 온도로부터 binodal 곡선이 결정되었다. 열적으로 유도된 상 분리(TIPS) 공정과 freeze drying 기법을 이용하여 제조된 고분자 막의 미세 구조는 coarsening 시간과 quench 경로에 의해 큰 영향을 받음이 확인되었다. Spinodal decomposition이 상 분리 기구인 경우에는 멤브레인의 미세구조가 서로 잘 연결되고 거의 일정한 cell 크기를 갖게 되며, 용매를 제거하기 이전에 상 분리 시간을 증가시킴으로써 멤브레인의 pore 크기를 증가시킬 수 있음이 판명되었다. 또한 멤브레인의 cell 또는 pore 크기 증가는 coarsening time과 quench depth에 크게 의존함이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 특히 고분자 용액의 농도가 이로부터 제조되는 고분자 막의 구조에 미치는 역할을 규명하였다.

  • Purpose: This study examined the effects of spirituality promoting intervention for the stomach and colon cancer patients. Method: A quasi- experimental design was used. Data collection was carried out from April 2004 to June, 2004 at a cancer center in Korea. The intervention included pray, meditation, group education and discussion for coping with cancer. The experimental group were received a 1-hour intervention per week for 6 weeks, while the control group received usual care. Data collection was done at pre and post intervention. The degree of spirituality was measured by the Korean version of WHOQOL-SRPB pilot test(WHO Quality of Life-Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs pilot test) Module, and social support was measured using scores on a PRQ 85(Personal Resources Questionnaire). Fighting spirit was measured by the scores of MAC(Mental Adjustment to Cancer) scale. Results: The experimental group showed significant increase in the scores of social support and fighting spirit compared to those in the control group after the intervention. There were no significant changes in terms of the spirituality score compared to the baseline score in the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion: This intervention appeared to be effective in increasing social support and fighting spirit, which considered to be very helpful in cancer adjustment.

  • Monitoring surface cracks is important to ensure the health of concrete structures. However, traditional visual inspection to monitor the concrete cracks has disadvantages such as subjective inspection nature, associated time and cost, and possible danger to inspectors. To alter the visual inspection, a complete procedure for automated crack assessment based on adaptive digital image processing has been proposed in this study. Crack objects are extracted from the images using the subtraction with median filter and the local binarization using the Niblack's method. To adaptively. determine the optimal window sizes for the median filter and the Niblack's method without distortion of crack object an optimal filter size index (OFSI) is proposed. From the extracted crack objects using the optimal size of window, the crack objects are decomposed to the crack skeletons and edges, and the crack width is calculated using 4-connected normal line according to the orientation of the local skeleton line. For an image, a crack width nephogram is obtained to have an intuitive view of the crack distribution. The proposed procedure is verified from a test on a concrete reaction wall with various types of cracks. From the crack images with different crack widths and patterns, the widths of cracks in the order of submillimeters are calculated with high accuracy.

  • To investigate AGN outflows as a tracer of AGN feedback on the host galaxies, we perform integral-field spectroscopy of 20 type 2 AGNs at z<0.1 using the Magellan/IMACS and the VLT/VIMOS. The observed objects are luminous AGNs with the [O III] luminosity >$10^{41.5}erg/s$, and exhibit strong outflow signatures in the [O III] kinematics. We obtain the maps of the narrow and broad components of [O III] and $H{\alpha}$ lines by decomposing the emission-line profile. The broad components in both [O III] and $H{\alpha}$ represent the non-gravitational kinematics, (i.e., gas outflows), while the narrow components represent the gravitational kinematics (i.e., rotational disks), especially in $H{\alpha}$. By using the spatially integrated spectra within the flux-weighted size of the narrow-line region, we estimate the outflow energetics. The ionized gas mass is $(1.0-38.5){\times}10^5M_{\odot}$, and the mean mass outflow rate is $4.6{\pm}4.3M_{\odot}/yr$, which is a factor of ~260 higher than the mean mass accretion rate $0.02{\pm}0.01M_{\odot}/yr$. The mean energy injection rate is $0.8{\pm}0.6%$ of the AGN bolometric luminosity Lbol, while the mean momentum flux is $(5.4{\pm}3.6){\times}L_{bol}/c$, except for two most kinematically energetic AGNs. The estimated energetics are consistent with the expectations for energy-conserving outflows from AGNs, yet we do not find any supporting evidence of instantaneous star-formation quenching due to the outflows.

  • 핀테크의 등장으로 인하여 많은 금융 서비스가 모바일 인터넷 환경에서 이용할 수 있게 되었고, 최근에는 온라인으로 모든 은행 서비스를 제공하는 인터넷 은행도 생겼다. 이처럼 인터넷을 통한 금융 서비스의 비중이 늘어남에 따라 사용자들에게 편의를 제공하지만 그와 동시에 금융 전산망에 대한 위협도 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라, 금융 기관들은 침해사고에 대비하여 보안시스템에 많은 투자를 하고 있지만 날이 갈수록 해커에 의한 공격은 정교해지고 있어서 대응하기 어려운 경우도 많다. 본 논문에서는 공격자의 실제 위치를 파악할 수 있는 IP 역추적 기술을 살펴보고 금융 전산망 분석을 통해 IP 역추적 기술을 적용하기 위한 다양한 방안을 제시한다. 그리고 Infra-Structure 구축을 통한 새로운 IP 역추적 방법을 금융 전산망에 적용하는 방법을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 활용한 실험을 통해 효율성을 증명하고자한다.

  • High production of milk and its components are necessary to allow maximal growth of developing piglets. In this study, transgenic pigs were produced containing the $\alpha$ -lactalbumin gene, whose product is a potential limiting component in the production of milk. Two lines of transgenic pigs were produced to analyze the effects that overproduction of the milk protein $\alpha$ -lactalbumin may have on milk production and piglet growth. Transgenic pigs were produced through microinjection of the bovine $\alpha$ -lactalbumin gene. The gene construct contained 2.0 kb of 5'flanking region, the 2.0 kb coding region and 329 bp of 3'flanking region. Sows hemizygous for the trans gene produced as much as 0.9 g of bovine $\alpha$-lactalbumin per liter of pig milk. The production of the bovine protein caused approximately a 50% increase in the total $\alpha$ -lactalbumin concentration in pig milk throughout lactation. The concentration of bovine $\alpha$ -lactalbumin was highest on day 0 and 5 of lactation and decreased as lactation progressed. The ratio of bovine to porcine $\alpha$ -lactalbumin changed during the sow's lactation. This ratio was 4.3 to 1 on day 0 of lactation, but by day 20 of lactation the ratio was 0.43 to 1. This suggested that the bovine transgene and the endogenous porcine gene were under slightly different control mechanisms. The higher level of total $\alpha$-lactalbumin present on day 0 of lactation was correlated with higher lactose percentage on day 0 in transgenic sows (3.8%) as compared to controls (2.6%) (P<0.01). Although there was also a trend for higher lactose percentage in transgenic sows on day 5 and 10 of lactation, no significant differences were observed. These data suggest that $\alpha$ -lactalbumin is limiting early in lactation of swine. Furthermore, higher concentrations of $\alpha$ -lactalbumin early in lactation may boost milk output.

  • Purpose: Particle separation in solution is one of important process in a unit operation as well as in an extract preparation for biosensors. Contrary to centrifuge-type of mesh-type filter, using an ultrasonic standing wave make the filtering process continuous and free from maintenance. It is needed to investigate the characteristics of particle movement in the ultrasonic standing wave field. Methods: Through the computer simulation the effects of major design and driving parameters on the alignment characteristics of particles were investigated, and a cylindrical chamber with up-stream flow type was devised using two circular-shape PZTs on both sides of the chamber, one for transmitting ultrasonic wave and the other for just reflecting it. Then, the system performance was experimentally investigated as well. Results: The speed of a particle to reach pressure-node plane increased as the acoustic pressure and size of particle increased. The maximum allowable up-stream flow rate could be calculated as well. As expected, exact numbers of pressure-node planes were well formed at specific locations according to the wavelength of ultrasonic wave. As the driving frequency of PZT got close to its resonance frequency, the bands of particles were observed clearer, which meant the particles were trapped into narrower space. Higher excitation voltages to the PZT produced a greater acoustic force with which to trap particles in the pressure-node planes, so that the particles gathered could move upwards without disturbing their alignments even at a higher inlet flow rate. Conclusions: This research showed the feasibility of particle separation in solution in the continuous way by an ultrasonic standing wave. Further study is needed to develop a device to collect or harvest those separated particles.
