As with the disappearance of a living room window due to the trend in apartment housing construction that prefers a larger, expanded living room, the sound insulation performance of the balcony window is becoming an important factor to determine the level of indoor noise at an apartment unit. Considering that the indoor noise inside an apartment unit is mandated by law at or below 45dB(A), the balcony window is increasingly assuming an even more important role. Sound insulation performance of the window was measured by examining differences in data involving varying angles of incidence of the sound source as obtained from the same balcony window. Also, acoustic intensity measuring was performed at and around the window to determine its sound insulation quality. Results of measuring on the sound source's angles of incidence indicated that the performance showed some differences in lower frequency ranges, though with no significance. Intensity measuring results showed that the sound insulation performance was reduced near the connection part of the window and the window frame.

본 연구는 세무행정의 핵심적인 역할을 수행하고 있는 세무조사자들이 세무조사의 업무수행과정에서 의사결정시에 회계정보와 비회계정보를 어느 정도 활용하는지를 분석하고, 조사자들의 직무수행에 관련한 직무요인이 과세재량권의 활용에 영향을 미치는지를 검증한 연구이다. 검증결과, 회계정보는 재무제표 중 손익계산서를 가장 많이 활용하는 것으로 나타났으며, 조사를 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 준비조사단계에서 검토하는 자료 중에서는 재무제표 및 부속명세서를 가장 중요하게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 비회계정보는 질서문란행위를 가장 우선적으로 고려하는 것으로 나타났다. 과세재량권에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과는, 법적. 제도적인 직무수행에 대한 전문가의식과 직무환경요인이 재량권의 활용에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 직무수행 시 전문가의식이 높을수록, 직무환경에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 과세재량권의 활용에 역(-)의 방향으로 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

T cell exhaustion develops under conditions of antigen-persistence caused by infection with various chronic pathogens, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and myco-bacterium tuberculosis (TB), or by the development of cancer. T cell exhaustion is characterized by stepwise and progressive loss of T cell function, which is probably the main reason for the failed immunological control of chronic pathogens and cancers. Recent observations have detailed some of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the severity of T cell exhaustion. Duration and magnitude of antigenic activation of T cells might be associated with up-regulation of inhibitory receptors, which is a major intrinsic factor of T cell exhaustion. Extrinsic factors might include the production of suppressive cytokines, T cell priming by either non-professional antigenpresenting cells (APCs) or tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs), and alteration of regulatory T (Treg) cells. Further investigation of the cellular and molecular processes behind the development of T cell exhaustion can reveal therapeutic targets and strategies for the treatment of chronic infections and cancers. Here, we report the properties and the mechanisms of T cell exhaustion in a chronic environment.

This study focuses on the health risk assessment of airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a petrochemical complex, with several emphases on a risk assessment method. The first emphasis is on the importance of hazard identification to determine the likely carcinogenic potential of a VOC. Without considering this type of information, a direct comparison of the carcinogenic risks of two pollutants is meaningless. Therefore, wer suggest that this type of information be prepared and be listed with the estimate of cancer risk in parallel. The second emphasis is on the selection of a better dose-response model to estimate unit risk or cancer potency factor of a carcinogenic VOC. Finally, probilistic risk assessment method is discussed and recommended to use within a comparison of conventional point-estimate method. A health risk assessment has also been carried out. For non-carcinogenic risk, even the highest hazard index for carbon tetrachloride is estimated to be less than 1 with the other VOCs less than 0.03. However, the lifetime cancer risk from the inhalation of airborne VOCs is estimated to be about $2.6 \times 10^{-4}$ which is higher than the risk standard of $10^{-6}$ or even $10^{-5}$. Therefore, the investigation into domestic petrochemical complexes should be strengthened to obtain more fine long-term airborne VOC data.

The purpose of this study was university student's preference for own house in future according to gender. This was the investigation of which 512 university students in Jeollabukdo province. In this statistical analysis, SPSS 11.5 program was utilized to calculate percentage, mean and standard deviation. Also, these materials were verified by factor analysis, t-test and $x^2$-test. The results of this study were as follows: The university students' future housing environment preferences has been appeared to be higher in the environmental equipment and the natural scenery. In the case of the gender variables was appeared to be higher for female than male students. The future housing area most of the university students wanted the medium city or over, $25{\sim}33\;p'y{\breve{o}}ng$ apartment, 3 bed rooms, 2 bathroom. In case most students have a yard in their future house, they'd like to grow lawn and trees. Also, they wanted to live in a short distance with their future parents-in-law. Therefore, It was desirable that make a plan based on the results of this study future-residing for the new generation.

With the basic research logic stating that the systematic improvement of rural housing plot's boundary barriers should call for the integrated consideration of their on-and-around installing settings, this study tries to analyse characteristics of installing environment of boundary barriers for improvement works of them. Through literature review and then screening process, 3 influencing and appraisal factors were determined: main house-boundary barrier shortest distance as on-site factor, building coverage as inside one, and attached road width as outside one. 21 study villages were subgrouped into structurally improved(9) and not(12). Site investigation and analysis results showed that the relationship between factors has varied very much, i.e. in some cases it is positive or complementary, but in other cases, negative or crossed. Therefore this study would propose that differentiated and flexible strategies with integrated consideration of on-and-around site installing settings be applied in their improvement projects rather than village-wide unified or straight forwarded ones.

The hydrofluoric acid (HF) leakage accident occurred on September 2012 in Gumi, Korea affected the surrounding soils and plants. In this study, we investigated fluoride migration in Gumi area through geochemical properties of soil-liquid phase (pore water F and water-soluble F). The concentrations of porewater F and water-soluble F were obtained from N.D (Not detected) to 9.79 mg/L and from 0.001 to 21.4 mg/L, respectively. F in pore water seemed to be affected by artificial and natural origin, and PHREEQC results implied that fluorite is F control factor. F concentrations of soil and soil-liquid phase did not exceed concern level of regulatory criteria and showed similar trends compared by previous studies. Therefore, F contents remained in the soil and soil-liquid phase were considered to be not affected by HF leakage accident.
