We derive the outage probabilities for the Erlang capacity and link margin based on handoffs in the reverse link of a CDMA system of 14.4 kbps/1.9 GHz band, calculate them with the same parameters, and then with the maximum realizable Erlang capacity analyze newly the cell coverage in different areas by the COST-231 model If it decreases from 5 % to 2 % in case of $E_b/N_0$=5 dB under a soft handoff, the result shows a very reliable link with additional increment of 0.88 dB in the margin and a high quality of service within the coverage decrease of 0.12 km, 0.25 km, and 1 km in a city, suburban, and open areas respectively on the decrease of 2 Erlang in the capacity. When the $E_b/N_0$ decreases from 7 dB to 5 dB within the outage probability of 5 %, it shows the increase of 9 Erlang and of 0.2 km in a city on the same margin of 2.8 dB. Then, comparing it with a single cell, it shows the decrease of more than 10 Erlang in the capacity, but the enlargement of 0.17 km, 0.3 km, and 1 km in them on the margin decrease of 1.31 dB, also, with a hard handoff, the soft handoff gain of the increase of 10 Erlang and of 0.22 km, 0.5 km, and 2 km on the decrease of 2.16 dB.

66 samples of underground waters at the town Onyang were collected and analyzed from August 19 to November 5, 1969. Fluorine more than 1.0 mg/l is contained in the under ground waters in the region 0.9 km away from the Onyang hot springs, fluorine more than 0.3 mg/l in the waters in the region 1.2 km away from the hot springs, and 0.04-0.29 mg/l fluorine in the waters in the region from 1.2 km to 3.9 km away from the hot springs. It is advisable that the residents in their teeth growing ages must not drink the underground waters in the region 1.2 km away from the hot springs because the waters cause dental trouble (mottled teeth) and they may drink the waters in the region from 1.2 km to 3.9 km away from the hot springs for the fluoridation of their teeth. It is reasonable to suppose that the high fluorine contents of the underground waters are caused mainly by the contamination of the hot spring waters in which fluorine and calcium in rock are dissolved, in the region 1.2 km away from the hot springs, and that the waters in the region from 1.2 km to 3.9 km away from the hot springs contain much fluorine produced by the decomposition of organic substances.

A new method to decompose the footprints of marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL) on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery into characteristic spatial scales is proposed. Using two-dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) we obtain three Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), which mainly present longitudinal rolls, three-dimensional cells and atmospheric gravity waves (AGW). The rolls and cells have spatial scales between 3.0 km and 3.8 km and between 5.3 km and 7.1 km, respectively. Based on previous observations and mixed-layer similarity theory, we estimated MABL's depths that vary from 0.95 km to 1.2 km over the rolls and from 3.0 km to 3.8 km over the cells. The AGW has maximum spectrum at 14.3 km wavelength. The method developed in this work can be used to decompose other satellite imageries into individual features through characteristic spatial scales.

Two hundred and sixty-eight bacterial strains were isolated from pine mushroom (Tricholoma matsutake) basal soil. In the course of screening for antifungal activity against seven plant pathogenic fungi (Alternaria panax, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum gloeosprioides, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytopthora capsici, Pythium ultimum, Rizoctonia solani) of isolates, strain KM1-15 showed strong antibiotic activity against Alternaria panax and Colletotrichum gloeosprioides. In determining its relationship on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence, KM1-15 strain was most closely related to Bacillus $koguryoae^T$ (AY904033) (99.62%). When assayed with the API 50CHE Kit, unlike Bacillus koguryoae, it is positive for utilization of L-arabinose, cellobiose, inulin, and D-turanose. Results of cellular fatty acid analysis showed that major cellular fatty acids were 15:0 anteiso (35.78%) and 17:0 anteiso (17.97%). In particular, hydroxyl fatty acids such as 13:0 iso 3-OH, 14:0 iso 3-OH, 15:0 iso 3-OH, and 17:0 iso 3-OH were only restricted to strain KM1-15. DNA G+C content was 43.7 mol% and quinone system was MK-7 (100%) in strain KM1-15.

Coastal lagoon has experienced a natural geomorphic development process which has been aggraded after the climax of transgression in Holocene. This study estimates superiority on landscape conservation of lagoons and degree of landscape changes during the 20th century as conservation ratios of area and shore length, and analyzes the causes of the changes and classifies the lagoons based on the data by case study of the major 7 coastal lagoons(Hwajinpo, Songjiho, Gwangpoho, Yeongrangho, Maeho, Hyangho, and Gyeongpoho) in the middle East Coast of the Korean Peninsular. Based on the conservation ratios of area and shore length, the areal change is in order of Songjiho($0.56km^2$, 92%), Hwajinpo($2.06km^2$, 90%), Yeongrangho($0.96km^2$, 86%), Hyangho($0.32km^2$, 76%), Gyeongpoho($0.90km^2$, 52%), Maeho($0.14km^2$, 50%), and Gwangpoho($0.07km^2$, 32%), and the shore length change is in order of Hwajinpo(11.90km, 100%), Hyangho(3.34km, 90%), Yeongnangho(7.21km, 89%), Gyeongpoho(7.11km, 79%), Songjiho(5.56km, 79%), Gwangpoho(1.16km, 62%), and Maeho(2.16km, 58%). Therefore, the characteristics of landscape changes of the lagoons in the study area can be represented in order of Hwajinpo(Al), Hyangho(A2), Yeongrangho(A3), Songjiho(A4), Gyeongpoho(B4), Gwangpoho(B5), Maeho(B6). Serious process for land use and industrial development has changed landscape around lagoons decreasing the area of coastal plains dramatically up to this century. Because small lagoons such as Maeho and Gwangpoho have experienced severe transformation and destruction, and Gyeongpoho was transformed into artificial lake for urbanization and tourism, they show dramatic landscape change.

The path loss data was re-calculated according to the distance between the base station and a mobile station in the mobile telecommunications network. In this paper, the averaged path loss data was plotted with the conventional path loss models(free space, plane earth, Hata model ${\ldots}$). The standard deviations for the 2 Km, 1 Km, 0.5 Km-interval averaged path loss were 2.29 dB, 3.39 dB, 4.75 dB, respectively. Additionally, the derivative values for the 2 Km, 1 Km, 0.5 Km-interval averaged path loss were evaluated to find the positions with more than 1 times or 2times of the standard deviation. The situations with the sharply fluctuated path loss were calculated to 5 positions in the 2 Km interval, to 7 positions in the 1 Km interval, to 19 positions in the 0.5 Km interval, respectively. And, the exact distances between the base station and a mobile station were found with the sharply fluctuated path loss.

Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to analyze research trends about mental health of nurses working in Korean medicine (KM) hospitals in Republic of Korea. Methods: Searches were conducted using four electronic databases including Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, Korean Studies Information Service System, Research Information Sharing Service, Korea Citation Index to collect relevant studies. The search date was March 4, 2021. All studies published up to the search date were considered. Observational studies reporting mental health outcomes of nurses working at KM Hospital were included. Results: A total of 11 cross-sectional observation studies were included. Four of them compared mental health of nurses working on KM and Western medicine (WM). Commonly reported outcomes related to mental health were job satisfaction, role conflict, and work stress. As a result of meta-analysis based on a 5-point Likert scale, the following factors were related to mental health of KM nurses: job satisfaction (2.844±0.067 points), role conflict (3.678±0.058 points), work stress (3.142±0.021 points), turnover intention (3.483±0.028 points), and burnout (3.180±0.033). Compared to WM nurses, KM nurses had significantly less work stress (p=0.000), role conflict (p=0.039), and job satisfaction (p=0.000). Conclusions: Mental health problems of nurses are known to be very common. Although improving them is an important social task, studies on mental health of KM nurses remain insufficient. Based on findings of this study, more cooperation between nurses and KM doctors should be made to improve the mental health of KM nurses, especially their job satisfaction in the future. The Korean Society of Oriental Neuropsychiatry needs to pay more attention to this topic.
