Wind measurements were made on the Canton Tower at a height of 461 m above ground during the Typhoon Vincente, the wind-induced accelerations and displacements of the tower were recorded as well. Comparisons of measured wind parameters at upper level of atmospheric boundary layer with those adopted in wind tunnel testing were presented. The measured turbulence intensity can be smaller than the design value, indicating that the wind tunnel testing may underestimate the crosswind structural responses for certain lock-in velocity range of vortex shedding. Analyses of peak factors and power spectral density for acceleration response shows that the crosswind responses are a combination of gust-induced buffeting and vortex-induced vibrations in the certain range of wind directions. The identified modal frequencies and mode shapes from acceleration data are found to be in good agreement with existing experimental results and the prediction from the finite element model. The damping ratios increase with amplitude of vibration or equivalently wind velocity which may be attributed to aerodynamic damping. In addition, the natural frequencies determined from the measured displacement are very close to those determined from the acceleration data for the first two modes. Finally, the relation between displacement responses and wind speed/direction was investigated.

출산기술연구소 대관령지소에서 출생한 한우 암소로부터 시간적인 간격을 두고 조사된 체중측정 기록에 대해 비선형의 성장곡선 모형을 적용하여 한우 암소의 개체별 성장곡선 모수를 추정하고 개체별로 추정된 모수를 이용하여 한우 암소의 정확한 성장형태를 추정하기 위해 실시하였다. Gompertz 모형으로 추정한 개체별 성장 곡선 모수 A, b 및 k의 평균치는 각각 383.42${\pm}$97.29kg, 2.374${\pm}$0.340 및 0.0037${\pm}$0.0012였으며, 개체별 변곡점의 평균은 255.63${\pm}$109.09일, 변곡점에서 체중의 평균은 141.05${\pm}$35.79kg, 변곡점에서의 일당증체량의 평균은 0.500${\pm}$0.123 kg이었고, 성장곡선 모수 A, b 및 k의 변이계수는 각각 25.3, 14.3 및 32.4%이었다. von Bertalanffy 모형으로 추정한 개체별 성장곡선 모수 A, b 및 k의 평균치는 각각 410.47${\pm}$117.98kg, 0.575${\pm}$0.057 및 0.003${\pm}$0.001이었고, 개체별 변곡점의 평균은 211.02${\pm}$105.53일, 변곡점에서 체중의 평균은 121.62${\pm}$34.94kg, 최대 증체율의 평균은 0.504${\pm}$0.124kg이었으며, 성장곡선 모수 A, b 및 k의 변이계수는 각각 28.7, 9.9 및 33.3%로 추정되었다. Logistic 모형으로 추정한 개체별 성장곡선 모수 A, b 및 k의 평균치는 각각 347.64${\pm}$97.29kg, 6.73${\pm}$0.34 및 0.006${\pm}$0.0018이었고, 개체별 변곡점의 평균은 324.47${\pm}$3.87일, 변곡점에서 체중의 평균은 173.82${\pm}$1.13kg, 최대 증체율의 평균은 0.508${\pm}$0.003kg이었으며, 성장곡선 모수 A, b 및 k의 변이계수는 각각 27.9, 5.0 및 30.0%이었다. Gompertz 모형, von Bertalanffy 모형 및 Logistic 모형에 의해 추정된 생시체중의 평균치들은 각각 36.40${\pm}$0.33, 31.59${\pm}$0.34 및 49.09${\pm}$0.88kg으로 추정되어 실제체중 23.73${\pm}$0.10kg 보다 컸으며 36개월 체중의 경우 세 모형이 각각 349.73${\pm}$2.01, 356.41${\pm}$2.07 및 336.18${\pm}$1.91kg으로 실제체중 363.67${\pm}$2.08kg보다 작았다. 그러나 세 모형으로 추정된 변곡점이 한우 암소의 실질적인 변곡점인지에 대해서는 좀더 검토가 필요한 부분인데, 최(2001)는 한우 암소의 경우 3개월령에서 4개월령 사이의 일당증체량이 0.590으로서 이 시기에 최대의 성장이 이루어지며 3개월령 체중과 4개월령 체중은 각각 79.31 및 98.91kg이라고 보고하고 있으며, 본 연구에서 Table 4에 제시된 결과를 봐도 3개월령과 6개월령 사이 90일 동안에 50.89kg의 증체가 이루어져 일당증체량으로 환산하면 약 0.56kg이 되어 다른 어느 시기보다도 가장 증체속도가 빠른 시기인 것으로 나타났다. 변곡점이 일당증체량이 최대인 시점으로 해석한다면 각 모형에서 고정되어 있는 변곡점의 위치들인 성숙체중의 38.6%(Gompertz 모형), 29.6% (von Bertalanffy 모형) 및 50%(Logistic 모형)는 한우 암소의 실질적인 변곡점보다 늦는 것으로 판단할 수 있는데, 실제로 세 모형 중 변곡점의 위치가 제일 빠른 von Bertalanffy 모형의 적합도가 제일 좋은 것도 이러한 이유 때문일 수 있다. 따라서 한우 암소의 정확한 성장특성을 파악하기 위해서는 변곡점의 위치가 고정되어 있지 않은 기존의 모형들을 이용하는 방안과 아울러 본 연구에 이용된 모형들을 변형시켜 활용하는 방안에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gamma irradiation (${\gamma}$-irradiation) at doses of 15, 30 and 45 kGy on chemical composition, anti-nutritional factors, ruminal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradibility, in vitro CP digestibility and to monitor the fate of true proteins of full-fat soybean (SB) in the rumen. Nylon bags of untreated or ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB were suspended in the rumens of three ruminally-fistulated bulls for up to 48 h and resulting data were fitted to a nonlinear degradation model to calculate degradation parameters of DM and CP. Proteins of untreated and treated SB bag residues were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Digestibility of rumen undegraded CP was estimated using the three-step in vitro procedure. The chemical composition of raw and irradiated soybeans was similar. Results showed that phytic acid in ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB at dose of 30 kGy was eliminated completely. The trypsin inhibitor activity of 15, 30 and 45 kGy ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB was decreased (p<0.01) by 18.4, 55.5 and 63.5%, respectively. From in sacco results, ${\gamma}$-irradiation decreased (p<0.05) the washout fractions of DM and CP at doses of 30 and 45 kGy, but increased (p<0.05) the potentially degradable fractions. Gamma irradiation at doses of 15, 30 and 45 kGy decreased (p<0.05) effective degradability of CP at a rumen outflow rate of 0.05 $h^{-1}$ by 4.4, 14.4 and 26.5%, respectively. On the contrary, digestibility of ruminally undegraded CP of irradiated SB at doses of 30 and 45 kGy was improved (p<0.05) by 12 and 28%, respectively. Electrophoretic analysis of untreated soybean proteins incubated in the rumen revealed that ${\beta}$-conglycinin subunits had disappeared at 2 h of incubation time, whereas the subunits of glycinin were more resistant to degradation until 16 h of incubation. From the SDS-PAGE patterns, acidic subunits of 15, 30 and 45 kGy ${\gamma}$-irradiated SB disappeared after 8, 8 and 16 h of incubation, respectively, while the basic subunits of glycinin were not degraded completely until 24, 48 and 48 h of incubation, respectively. It was concluded that ${\gamma}$-irradiated soybean proteins at doses higher than 15 kGy could be effectively protected from ruminal degradation.

Background Burn infliction techniques are poorly described in rat models. An accurate study can only be achieved with wounds that are uniform in size and depth. We describe a simple reproducible method for creating consistent burn wounds in rats. Methods Ten male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and dorsum shaved. A 100 g cylindrical stainless-steel rod (1 cm diameter) was heated to $100^{\circ}C$ in boiling water. Temperature was monitored using a thermocouple. We performed two consecutive toe-pinch tests on different limbs to assess the depth of sedation. Burn infliction was limited to the loin. The skin was pulled upwards, away from the underlying viscera, creating a flat surface. The rod rested on its own weight for 5, 10, and 20 seconds at three different sites on each rat. Wounds were evaluated for size, morphology and depth. Results Average wound size was $0.9957cm^2$ (standard deviation [SD] 0.1845) (n=30). Wounds created with duration of 5 seconds were pale, with an indistinct margin of erythema. Wounds of 10 and 20 seconds were well-defined, uniformly brown with a rim of erythema. Average depths of tissue damage were 1.30 mm (SD 0.424), 2.35 mm (SD 0.071), and 2.60 mm (SD 0.283) for duration of 5, 10, 20 seconds respectively. Burn duration of 5 seconds resulted in full-thickness damage. Burn duration of 10 seconds and 20 seconds resulted in full-thickness damage, involving subjacent skeletal muscle. Conclusions This is a simple reproducible method for creating burn wounds consistent in size and depth in a rat burn model.

경기도 태화산 서울대학술림에 위치한 대기관측타워에서 BVOCs 중 이소프렌, 모노테르펜을 2013년 5월, 6월, 8월에 PTR-MS를 이용하여 측정하고 이들의 분포 특성을 분석하였다. $O_3$과 온도, 습도 그리고 광합성유효복사와 잎면적지수를 측정하였다. 측정기간 동안 BVOCs 농도는 온도가 가장 높은 8월보다는 6월에 더 높았다. 태화산에서 측정된 침엽수와 활엽수의 광합성량(NPP, net primary production) 모두 6월에 가장 높았다. 이는 식생의 활동이 6월에 더 활발함을 의미하는데 이는 동북아시아 몬순의 영향으로 생각된다. 이소프렌은 늦은 오후에 최고 농도를, 모노테르펜은 저녁부터 농도가 높아져 밤 늦게 최고 농도를 보였다. 이들 모두 높이에 따라 평균 농도에 차이가 있었는데, 이소프렌과 모노테르펜 모두 캐노피 아래에서 높은 농도를 보였다. 반면, 온도는 캐노피 아래가 위보다 낮았고 $O_3$ 또한 캐노피 위에서 높아 산림 내와 산림 밖의 대기 간에 차이가 있었다. 특히, 이소프렌은 오후시간에 $O_3$과 같은 시간에 최고농도 보여 $O_3$ 생성에, 반대로 $O_3$은 농도가 급격히 감소하는 저녁시간에 캐노피 아래에서 농도가 크게 증가하는 모노테르펜은 $O_3$의 소멸에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. MEGAN을 이용하여 태화산에서 산정된 이소프렌과 모노테르펜의 배출계수는 각각 $641.9g\;km^{-2}h^{-1}$, $116.8g\;km^{-2}h^{-1}$로 CAPSS에서 산정된 잣나무 배출계수와 비교하면 이소프렌은 높고 반대로 모노테르펜은 낮았다. 이를 바탕으로 연간 배출량은 이소프렌은 1.1(톤/년), 모노테르펜은 0.9(톤/년)으로 산정되었다.

We report the discovery of a bright mid-infrared (MIR) source with prominent crystalline silicate emission using the space telescope AKARI and Spitzer. This source, IRAS 15099-5856, has a spectacular morphology with a bright central compact source (CCS) surrounded by knots, spurs, and several extended (~4') arc-like filaments. The source is seen only in infrared at ${\geq}10{\mu}m$. The Spitzer MIR spectrum of the CCS shows prominent emission features from Mg-rich crystalline silicates and strong [Ne II] 12.88 ${\mu}m$ and several other faint ionic lines. We model the MIR spectrum as thermal emission from several independent dust components and compare their properties to those of the Herbig Be star HD 100546 which shows very similar MIR spectrum. Our molecular line observations reveal two molecular clouds around the source, but no associated dense molecular cores. We discuss two possible origins for IRAS 15099-5856; a deeply embedded massive young stellar object on the other side of the Galaxy and a disrupted, protoplanetary disk being photoevaporated by the UV radiation from the nearby O star Muzzio 10.

This paper presents optimized artificial neural networks (ANNs) claims prediction and decision awareness framework that guides owner organizations in their pre-bid construction project decisions to minimize claims. The framework is composed of two genetic optimization ANNs models: a Claims Impact Prediction Model (CIPM), and a Decision Awareness Model (DAM). The CIPM is composed of three separate ANNs that predict the cost and time impacts of the possible claims that may arise in a project. The models also predict the expected types of relationship between the owner and the contractor based on their behavioral and technical decisions during the bidding phase of the project. The framework is implemented using actual data from international projects in the Middle East and Egypt (projects owned by either public or private local organizations who hired international prime contractors to deliver the projects). Literature review, interviews with pertinent experts in the Middle East, and lessons learned from several international construction projects in Egypt determined the input decision variables of the CIPM. The ANNs training, which has been implemented in a spreadsheet environment, was optimized using genetic algorithm (GA). Different weights were assigned as variables to the different layers of each ANN and the total square error was used as the objective function to be minimized. Data was collected from thirty-two international construction projects in order to train and test the ANNs of the CIPM, which predicted cost overruns, schedule delays, and relationships between contracting parties. A genetic optimization backward analysis technique was then applied to develop the Decision Awareness Model (DAM). The DAM combined the three artificial neural networks of the CIPM to assist project owners in setting optimum values for their behavioral and technical decision variables. It implements an intelligent user-friendly input interface which helps project owners in visualizing the impact of their decisions on the project's total cost, original duration, and expected owner-contractor relationship. The framework presents a unique and transparent hybrid genetic algorithm-ANNs training and testing method. It has been implemented in a spreadsheet environment using MS Excel$^{(R)}$ and EVOLVERTM V.5.5. It provides projects' owners of a decision-support tool that raises their awareness regarding their pre-bid decisions for a construction project.

일리노이 옥수수 포장에서 질소비료의 적정 시용량 결정에는 작물 수량의 극대화와 더불어 질소 손실의 최소화가 고려 되어야 하는데 이를 위하여 질소 전문가체계(NES)가 개발되었다. NES는 전문가의 지식과 사고의 결정과정을 컴퓨터체계로 전환하는 Smart Element program에 의해 만들어졌다. NES는 현재 일리노이 옥수수포장에서 사용중인 생산성지수 (PI)와 토양중 유기물함량 (SOM) 및 시비전 질산태질소 함량 (PSNT)의 요인을 고려하여 시비수준을 결정하였는데 각각의 수준에 따라 49개의 rule 등을 사용하였다. NES는 시스템상에서 성공적으로 작동되었으며 3개의 토양특성 (PI, SOM, PSNT)를 입력하여 적정 시비량을 결정하였다. NES는 다른 시비량 결정 방법에 비해 환경에 대해 질소의 유입을 현저히 줄일 수 있었으며 모델에 대한 검증이 계속될 것이다. 그러나 이에 따른 수량의 감소를 보여, 질소 비료의 적정 시비량은 수량과 더불어 질소유실에 따른 환경 영향평가와 기타 다른 경제적 또는 토양의 물리화학적 요인이 고려되어야 하며 이 요인을 추가한 NES의 검증 및 개선방향이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: To provide the information of efficacy for herbal formulas of high frequency, it was evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect. In many studies, plantderived anti-inflammatory efficacies have been investigated for their potential inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. This study was performed to examine the anti-inflammatory effects of herbal formulas of high frequency on LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Methods: Anti-inflammatory activity was investigated in 25 herbal formula extracts in vitro and in vivo. To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect in vitro model, using LPS-stimulated macrophages, RAW 264.7 cell line. The productions of nitric oxide(NO), prostaglandin(PG)$E_2$, interleukin(IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-$\alpha$ were examined in RAW 264.7 cells, in the presence of the herbal formulas. RAW 264.7 cells were incubated with LPS $1\;{\mu}g/mL$ and herbal formulas for 18 hours. As an in vivo, using a rat model of carrageenin-induced paw edema. The paw volume was measured at 2 and 4 hours following carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats. Results: 8 kinds of herbal formula inhibited NO production by LPS-stimulated in some concentration, but the effect of NO inhibition is weak. 12 kinds of herbal formula inhibited $PGE_2$ production by LPS-stimulated over the 30%. Among them Gumiganghwal-tang, Sagunja-tang, Samchulkunbi-tang, Insampaedok-san and Hwangryunhaedok-tang inhibited IL-6 production by LPS-stimulated but TNF-$\alpha$ was not inhibited. 12 kinds of herbal formula reduced the carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats. Particularly, 3 kinds of herbal formula(Gumiganghwal-tang, Ssanghwa-tang and Soshiho-tang) were better than indomethacin. Conclusion: These results suggest that Gumiganghwal-tang, Sangunja-tang, Samchulkunbi-tang, Insampaedok-san and Hwangryunhaedok-tang have antiinflammatory activity.
