디지털 자료에의 장기적인 접근을 보장하기 위해서는 체계적인 디지털 보존이 이루어져야 하며, 디지털 보존에 대한 지속적인 예산 지원에는 비용요소에 대한 구체적인 파악이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 기존 관련연구를 토대로 디지털 보존의 필수 비용요소들을 추출하였으며, 이를 보존과의 관련성 정도에 따라 직접보존비용과 간접보존비용으로 범주화하였다. 디지털화 사업이 대규모로 진행되고 있는 국내 도서관을 사례분석 대상으로 선정하여 디지털 보존현황을 분석하고 보존비용을 추정하였다. 사례분석 결과, 기본적인 디지털 보존은 이루어지고 있으나 디지털 자료에의 장기적인 접근을 보장하기 위한 보다 포괄적이고 체계적인 보존기능이 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 현재 사례분석 대상 도서관에서 수행되고 있는 디지털 보존을 토대로 분석했을 때, 도서관 A와 B에서는 각각 원문DB 구축비용의 $11.8\%$와 $8.6\%$에 달하는 디지털 보존비용이 매년 투입되어야 하는 것으로 추정되었다. 그러나 본 연구의 결과는 매우 보수적인 추정치라고 할 수 있다. 이는 대상 도서관의 경우 디지털 서고의 구축과 메타데이터 생성 등의 보존기능이 수행되지 않고 있어 이에 소요되는 비용이 추정에서 배제되었기 때문이다. 본 연구는 디지털 보존이 디지털 자료의 생산 단계부터 접근까지의 모든 활동에 직${\cdot}$간접으로 관련되어 있는 종합적인 활동이며, 디지털화 사업을 착수하는 단계에서부터 반드시 고려되어야 하는 사업임을 입증해 주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 블랙-숄츠 옵션가격결정이론을 토대로 개발된 KMV 모형을 활용하여 건설업체 예상부도확률(Expected Default Frequency; EDF)을 측정하여 건설업체 경영상태 변동 특성을 건설업체 규모별로 비교분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 시공능력평가순위 50위권 내에서 국내에 상장된 건설업체 중 28개 업체를 선정하여 상위 14개 업체, 하위 14개 업체로 구분하여 분석에 활용하였다. KMV 모형을 통해 예상부도확률을 측정하기 위해서는 자산가치와 자산가치변동성, 채무불이행점(Default Point)을 먼저 산출하고 이를 기초로 부도거리(Distance to Default)를 측정하여 최종적으로 예상부도확률을 측정하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 예상부도확률을 2001년 1분기부터 2010년 4분기까지 분기별로 측정하였다. 분석결과 선험적으로 인지하고 있듯이, 대규모 회사가 중소규모 회사보다 재무적으로 건전함을 확인할 수 있었다. 중소규모 회사의 경우 경영상태 변화 추이가 경기변동과는 매우 둔감하게 나타났다. 즉 상대적으로 규모가 작은 회사는 열악한 재무환경이 지속적으로 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 대규모 회사의 경우 전반적으로 중소규모 회사보다 재무적으로 안정적이었지만 경기에 매우 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 급격한 경기변동이 발생했을 때 중소규모 회사보다 체감적으로 재무상황이 급격히 나빠지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

More than 20 years after the first report of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in Korea, the disease is still having major impact on domestic pig health and relevant industries. Although ELISA tests are commonly used by veterinarians to guide herd management, data on diagnostic performance of the test in field settings are very limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate two commercially available PRRSV ELISA (IDEXX PRRS X3 ELISA and Bionote PRRSV ELISA 4.0) to detect antibodies against PRRSV on serum samples. To this end, a total of 1,108 sera were recruited from 35 swine farms located in Gyeonggi province and tested at the Gyeonggi Province Veterinary Service Center. All tests were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions, by laboratory technicians who routinely perform PRRS testing on blood samples. Samples were collected from two sources of swine populations with different PRRS prevalence; 60 samples (5.4%) were originated from breeding farms and the remaining 1,048 samples (94.6%) were from farrow-to-finish farms. We applied Bayesian latent class model (LCM) for two-tests in the two-population when the accuracy of the gold standard is not available. The model estimated that Bionote ELISA was a bit more specific but slightly less sensitive. The estimated sensitivity and specificity of the IDEXX ELISA were 99.8% (95% CI 98.1-100%) and 86.4% (95% CI 81.4-96.5%), respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for Bionote kit were 98.7% (95% CI 92.8-100%), 89.8% (95% CI 86.2-93.1%), 93.8% (95% CI 91.5-96.0%), and 97.8% (95% CI 87.1-100%), respectively. Based on the Bayesian 95% credible intervals, the sensitivity and specificity of the two ELISAs were not significantly different each other when assuming that two kits were imperfect, indicating that two kits performed equally well in terms of sensitivity and specificity in our filed setting.

The gene encoding the HN protein from the CBP-1 strain, a heat stable Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from diseased pheasants in Korea, was characterized by reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and the nucleotide and amino acid sequences were analyzed following cloning of the HN gene. In all of the NDV strains studied, a 1.75 kb size cDNA fragment for the HN gene was generated by RT-PCR and smaller specific band sizes harboring the internal portions of the HN gene were also detected by using four pairs of primers. The RT-PCR was sensitive enough to detect viral transcripts when the virus titer was above 25 hemagglutination units. The amplified 1.75 kb cDNA was cloned into a BamHI site of the pVL1393 Baculo transfer vector. The nucleotide sequences of the 1,758 bp HN gene from the CBP-1 strain were determined by the dye terminator cyclic sequencing method. The gene sequences were compared among the strains of CBP-1, Texas GB, Beaudette C, LaSota, B1 and Ulster. The homology of the CBP-1 HN gene to other HN variants was 97.8% to Texas GB, 98.4% to Beaudette C, 95.4% to LaSota, 95.6% to B1 and 90.2% to Ulster. As the deduced 577 amino acid sequences were compared among the strains, the homology for CBP-1 HN appeared to be 96.7% to Texas GB, 97.9% to Beaudette C, 95.5% to LaSota, 95.5% to B1 and 92.7% to Ulster. It was evident that the amino acid sequences included 5 sites for N-asparagine linked glycosylation and 12 cysteine residues. The three conserved leucine residues within the predicted transmembrane domain of the HN protein are amino acid 30, 37 and 44. The three antigenic sites on the HN protein of NDV are amino acids 347(Glu), 481(Asn) and 495(Glu). These data indicate that the genotype of the CBP-1 strain is more closely associated with the strains of Texas GB and Beaudette C than it is for the LaSota, B1 and Ulster strains.

Recent technical developments have transformed how neuroscientists can probe brain function. What was once thought to be difficult and perhaps impossible, stimulating a single set of long range inputs among many, is now relatively straight-forward using optogenetic approaches. This has provided an avalanche of data demonstrating causal roles for circuits in a variety of behaviors. However, despite the critical role that neuropeptide signaling plays in the regulation of behavior and physiology of the brain, there have been remarkably few studies demonstrating how peptide release is causally linked to behaviors. This is likely due to both the different time scale by which peptides act on and the modulatory nature of their actions. For example, while glutamate release can effectively transmit information between synapses in milliseconds, peptide release is potentially slower [See the excellent review by Van Den Pol on the time scales and mechanisms of release (van den Pol, 2012)] and it can only tune the existing signals via modulation. And while there have been some studies exploring mechanisms of release, it is still not as clearly known what is required for efficient peptide release. Furthermore, this analysis could be complicated by the fact that there are multiple peptides released, some of which may act in contrast. Despite these limitations, there are a number of groups making progress in this area. The goal of this review is to explore the role of peptide signaling in one specific structure, the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, that has proven to be a fertile ground for peptide action.

Purpose: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indicator of arterial stiffness, and is considered a marker of vascular damage. However, a genome-wide association study analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) has not been conducted in healthy populations. We performed this study to identify SNPs associated with baPWV in healthy populations in Korea. Materials and Methods: Genomic SNPs data for 2,407 individuals from three sites were analyzed as part of the Korean Genomic Epidemiologic Study. Without replication samples, we performed multivariable analysis as a post hoc analysis to verify the findings in site adjusted analysis. Healthy subjects aged between 40 and 70 years without self-reported history or diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and cancer were included. We excluded subjects with a creatinine level >1.4 mg/dL (men) and 1.2 mg/dL (women). Results: In the site-adjusted association analysis, significant associations (P<$5{\times}10^{-8}$) with baPWV were detected for only 5 SNPs with low minor allele frequency. In multivariable analysis adjusted by age, sex, height, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, site, smoking, alcohol, and exercise, 11 SNPs were found to be associated (P<$5{\times}10^{-8}$) with baPWV. The 5 SNPs (P<$5{\times}10^{-8}$) linked to three genes (OPCML, PRR35 and RAB40C) were common between site-adjusted analysis and multivariable analysis. However, meta-analysis of the result from three sites for the 11 SNPs showed no significant associations. Conclusion: Using the recent standard for genome-wide association study, we did not find any evidence of significant association signals with baPWV.

본 연구의 목적은 BrDSR(Drought Stress Resistance in B. rapa) 유전자의 기능을 명확히 밝히고, 배추에서 건조 스트레스 반응 유전자들을 분석하는데 있다. 내혼계배추('CT001')와 BrDSR 완전장(438bp의 오픈리딩프레임)을 지닌 pSL100 vector를 재료로 아그로박테리아를 이용한 배추 형질전환을 수행하였다. PCR 분석을 통해 4개체의 형질전환체를 확보하였고, 이들의 BrDSR 발현량은 건조 스트레스 조건에서 비형질전환체 대비 약 1.9-3.4배 정도 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 표현형 분석에서도 BrDSR이 과발현된 형질전환체들은 건조 스트레스에 저항성을 보이며 정상적인 생장을 하였다. 기 구축된 건조 스트레스 반응 유전자의 상호발현 네트워크를 기반으로 BrDSR과 밀접한 관련이 있는 유전자들을 분석하기 위해 B. rapa 135K cDNA microarray 데이터를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 환경 스트레스와 관련하여 식물체에서 잎의 노화와 자가소화에 관련된 것으로 보고된 'dark inducible 2(DIN2, AT3G60140)'와 'autophagy 8h(ATG8H, AT3G06420)' 유전자가 확인되었다. 위 결과들을 근거로 BrDSR 유전자는 건조 스트레스에 대한 저항성 향상에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Purpose - Recently, the number of corporations that practice environmental and social responsibility, besides engaging in traditional profit-seeking activities, has been growing steadily, as interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasing. Recent research on CSR practices has identified the relationship between CSR activities and corporate value as one of the main issues in this respect. Considering that donations constitute a large proportion of a company's charitable activities, we considered the extent of donation expenses as a charitable activity in order to mitigate sample selection bias. Specifically, we analyzed the impact of donation expenses on firm value, while investigating if this impact varied in response to the level of corporate governance of firms. Research design, data, and methodology - We used non-financial firms listed on the Korean Stock Exchange, having their fiscal year end in December, and the sample period was 2006-2013. For the dependent variable, Tobin's q was used as the corporate value, and for the independent variable, donations were measured as the donation-expense-to-sales ratio. Corporate governance scores, as rated by the Korea Corporate Governance Service, were used to measure corporate governance levels because they consider the overall aspects of governance, including ownership structure, the board of directors, and the audit mechanism of individual companies. To examine the impact of donations on a company in relation to the level of corporate governance, we estimated regression models using the interaction terms of the governance dummy and donation variables. Then, we further estimated the regression models of two sub-samples that were classified according to the level of corporate governance. Similar to previous studies, the study uses variables that affect firm value, such as R&D expenditure, advertising expenses, EBITDA, debt-to-equity ratio, sales growth, company age, and company size as control variables. Results - The empirical results show that firm value significantly increased in response to an increase in donation expenses. Upon including the interaction terms of governance level dummy variables and donations, the coefficients of the interaction terms show significant positive values, while those of donation variables show significant negative values. In the strong governance sub-sample, the relationship between the donation expenses and corporate value was statistically positive (+) and significant. However, in the weak governance sub-sample, the relationship between the donation expenses and corporate value was statistically insignificant and negative (-). Conclusions - The empirical results suggest that donation expenses are significantly linked to an enhanced corporate value if firms have a good corporate governance structure. However, if the corporate governance structure is weak, the same relationship is not necessarily observed. The results of this study show that if a firm has high corporate governance, CSR practices enhance the company's reputation such that it has a positive (+) relationship with corporate value. If a firm has weak corporate governance, on the other hand, CSR practices are recognized as an agency cost and do not increase corporate value.
