This study evaluated the long-term performance of RSR (Reinforced Subgrade for Railways) technology which increases the railway line capacity without the need for additional land. Its characteristics include the use of a short reinforcement with rigid wall, which make it possible to apply it in confined spaces. The 7m high and 40m long testbed employed to evaluate the long-term performance was designed and constructed near Jupo station on the Chang-hang line. This line, located close to a local bus route, had collapsed at the subgrade following heavy rainfall. The performance of the new type of subgrade was verified with long term measurements over a 2 year period including the surface and ground settlement, horizontal displacement of the wall, tensile strain of the reinforcement, and settlement of the rail top on the side track. Based on the results of the measurements made until now, we concluded that it had sufficient safety and serviceability for use as a railway subgrade. It is expected that RSR technology could be frequently used at sites which lack the necessary construction materials for an embankment and are located close to functional railway lines and boundaries, in order to settle civil complaints.

This study analyzed the collapse course of a mud stone cut slope during the construction of a express and suggested a countermeasure. Experiments were carried out on bedrock mudstone to investigate the engineering characteristics and the slope stability analysis at the time the design was reviewed. In addition, stability analysis, considering the strength softening characteristics of the slope due to the Swelling-Slaking phenomenon, was also performed. As a result of the Swelling-Slaking test, the slake durability was Low-Medium, and the swell potential was Very Low. A review of the stability analysis performed at the time of the design showed different results from the actual results because LEM analysis had been performed without considering the engineering characteristics of mudstone. As a result of additional stability analysis considering the strength softening characteristics, the slope collapse point and the maximum shear strain point of the stability analysis were the same and the standard safety factor was not satisfied. As a countermeasure, a slope mitigation method was found to be most appropriate. The mitigation slope was calculated by Finite element Analysis. A comparison with BIPS to determine the applicability of a mitigation slope revealed most of the unconsolidated mudstone.

The new strains of Mycogone perniciosa which could attack cream colored mushroom were collected and tested to find out their characteristics in comparison with the original strains. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $25^{\circ}C$, showing no difference between strains, but optimum pH was 6.0 for the original strains and pH 7.0 for the new ones. New strains did not survive at $50^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes while original ones 40 minutes. Delan and Hamai were effective for controlling new strains and the mushroom strains which have scales showed resistance to the new strains of Mt. perniciosa regardless of the mushroom colors.

This study aimed to determine dose-response (DR) curve of avian influenza (AI) virus to predict the probability of illness or adverse health effects that may result from exposure to a pathogenic microorganism in a quantitative microbial risk assessment. To determine the parametric DR relationship of several strains of AI virus, 7 feeding trial data sets challenging humans (5 sets) and chickens (2 sets) for strains of H3N2 (4 sets), H5N1 (2 sets) and H1N1 (1 set) from the published literatures. Except for one data set (study with intra-tracheal inoculation for data set no. 6), all were obtained from the studies with intranasal inoculation. The data were analyzed using three types of DR model as the basis of heterogeneity in infectivity of AI strains in humans and chickens: exponential, beta-binomial and beta-Poisson. We fitted to the data using maximum likelihood estimation to get the parameter estimates of each model. The alpha and beta values of the beta-Poisson DR model ranged 0.06-0.19 and 1.7-48.8, respectively for H3N2 strain. Corresponding values for H5N1 ranged 0.464-0.563 and 97.3-99.4, respectively. For H1N1 the parameter values were 0.103 and 12.7, respectively. Using the exponential model, r (infectivity parameter) ranged from $1.6{\times}10^{-8}$ to $1.2{\times}10^{-5}$ for H3N2 and from $7.5{\times}10^{-3}$ to $4.0{\times}10^{-2}$ for H5N1, while the value was $1.6{\times}10^{-8}$ for H1N1. The beta-Poisson DR model provided the best fit to five of 7 data sets tested, and the estimated parameter values in betabinomial model were very close to those of beta-Poisson. Our study indicated that beta-binomial or beta-Poisson model could be the choice for DR modeling of AI, even though DR relationship varied depending on the virus strains studied, as indicated in prior studies. Further DR modeling should be conducted to quantify the differences among AI virus strains.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens의 연구는 유전공학 시대를 맞이하여 많은 연구자들의 커다란 주목을 끌고있다. 식물세포내에 외부 유전자를 도입시키는, 확실히 믿을 수 있는 vector로 등장된 때문이다. 원래 이세균은 식물 줄기나 뿌리에 암종을 유발시키므로서 암발성 원인 구명 연구로 흥미를 끌게 되었다. 연구결과는 암발생 예방및 치료에 목적을 둠은 덩연할 것이다. 많은 약제가 시험되었으나 별로 진전을 보지 못하던중 비 원인성인 Agrobacterium radiobacter, strain 84에 의한 생물학적 방제의 성공으로 유일한 방제법을 갖게되었다. 뒤이어 암종발생 기작도 밝혀졌다.

This study intends to verify the poverty characteristics of the rural elderly households so as to provide more specific data for the intervention of social welfare in the improvement of quality of life of the rural elderly. According to my study of the absolute poverty ratio, the poverty gap, the relative poverty ratio, the subjective poverty ratio, the subjective economic level and the life satisfaction level of the rural elderly households in comparison with those of the other groups, the conclusion is as follows: First, the total living cost of the rural elderly households is rather low with the food cost taking about 30% of the total living cost. Second, in terms of the poverty ratio based on socio-demographic characteristics, higher poverty ratio show among women, older people and households of fewer members. Third, 82.2% of the rural elderly households living with an income below the minimum living cost is found around the poverty line. Fourth, the rural elderly households show a comparatively higher poverty ratio than the other groups in the absolute and relative poverty, but lower economic strain than other groups in the subjective poverty ratio and life satisfaction level. In short, the rural elderly households' poverty level is generally high and therefore need ways of active economic supports, while a political approach to the subjective needs of the regional and intergenerational groups is also required.

Monascus strains were isolated from Ang-Khak for the screening of antimicrobial activity. Two Monascus isolates, No.116 and No.481, were selected because they showed strong antimicrobial activity. Effect of various nutrients and incubation conditions on antimicrobial activity were different between two isolates. Strong antimicrobial activity of isolate No.116 was observed in the medium with 8% sucrose and $0.8%(NH_4)_2SO_4,$ 0.5% $KH_2PO_4and$ 0.5% $MgSO_4,$ while isolate No.481 required 8% sucrose, 1.6~2% $(NH_4)_2SO_4,$ 0.5% $MgSO_4and$ 0.5% $FeSO_4for$ the highest activity. The strong antimicroial activity was observed when both isolates were incubated on rice extract broth with initial pH of 5.3. The optiimum incubation temperature for the highest antimicrobial activity was $32.5^{\circ}C.$ With optimal conditions for the highest antimicrobial activity, isolate No.116 and No. 481 were both active for 51 hours or longer against test organisms Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Enterococcus faecium.

We have investigated the effect of hydrogen plasma on the formation of InAs QDs (quantum dots) structure by using a CBE (chemical beam epitaxy)system equipped with ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) plasma source. It is confirmed that the formation of self-organized InAs-QDs on GaAs is started after the growth of InAs layer up to 2.6 ML (monolayer) with the irradiation of hydrogen plasma while it is started after 1.9 ML without hydrogen gas and hydrogen plasma through the observation of RHEED patterns. Density and size of the QDs formed at $T_{sub}=370^{\circ}C$ are $1.9{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}$ and 17.7 nm without hydrogen plasma, and $1.3{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}$ and 19.4 nm with hydrogen plasma, respectively. It is also observed from the PL(photoluminescence) measurement on InAs-QDs that red shift in PL peak energy and broadening in FWHM (full width at half maximum)of PL peak caused by the effects of hydrogen plasma on the increment of size and its distribution. These effects of hydrogen plasma are considered as a act of atomic hydrogen which enhances the layer-growth of InAs on GaAs resulted from the relief of misfit strain between GaAs substrate and InAs.

The aim of this study was to test the susceptibility of mice to Trypanosoma evansi treated with human plasma containing different concentrations of apolipoprotein L-1 (APOL1). For this experiment, a strain of T. evansi and human plasma (plasmas 1, 2, and 3) from 3 adult males clinically healthy were used. In vivo test used 50 mice divided in 5 groups (A to E) with 10 animals in each group. Animals of groups B to E were infected, and then treated with 0.2 ml of human plasma in the following outline: negative control (A), positive control (B), treatment with plasma 1 (C), treatment with plasma 2(D), and treatment with plasma 3 (E). Mice treated with human plasma showed an increase in longevity of $40.9{\pm}0.3$ (C), $20{\pm}9.0$ (D) and $35.6{\pm}9.3$ (E) days compared to the control group (B) which was $4.3{\pm}0.5$ days. The number of surviving mice and free of the parasite (blood smear and PCR negative) at the end of the experiment was 90%, 0%, and 60% for groups C, D, and E, respectively. The quantification of APOL1 was performed due to the large difference in the treatments that differed in the source plasma. In plasmas 1, 2, and 3 was detected the concentration of 194, 99, and 115 mg/dl of APOL1, respectively. However, we believe that this difference in the treatment efficiency is related to the level of APOL1 in plasmas.

Small-scale models have been frequently used for experimental evaluation of seismic performance because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry is not well consistent in the inelastic seismic behavior. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material. added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to size of aggregate. Therefore, it is desirable that different material is used for small-scale models. Thus, a modified similitude law could be derived depending on geometric scale factor and equivalent modulus ratio. In this study, compressive strength tests are conducted to analyze equivalent modulus ratio of micro-concrete to normal-concrete. Equivalent modulus ratios are divided into multi phases, which are based on ultimate strain level. Therefore, an algorithm adaptable to the pseudodynamic test. considering equivalent multi-phase similitude law based on seismic damage levels, is developed. In addition, prior to the experiment. it is verified numerically if the algorithm is applicable to the pseudodynamic test.
