The Daehwangjam has excellent marketability and quality. However, precise silkworm breeding data on the recent high-temperature environment is not enough collected, and it is necessary to check whether stable Daewhangjam silkworm egg production was possible in poor environments. In this study, the timing of metamorphosis of the Daewhangjam parents Jam323 and Jam324 silkworms, in an optimal condition and a general condition similar to breeding grounds, was investigated to confirm that appropriate mating was achieved. Surprisingly, a number of female moths were discarded due to the metamorphosis of Jam324 female moths much earlier than Jam323 male moths in either an optimal or a general condition. To improve this, during the Jam324 female pupation period, the mild low-temperature of 15℃ was treated for the pupation period to delay the metamorphosis into female moths. Depending on the treatment period, the metamorphosis of the female pupa was delayed by more than 4 days, allowing normal mating with the Jam323 male moth. The eye pigments in a pupa also slowly accumulated in these treatments. In order to discover the side effects of low-temperature treatments, the voltinism of the Daewhangjam eggs was investigated, but most of them remained univoltine. Taken together, the low-temperature treatment during the female pupation period made it possible to use Jam324 female moths that were should be discarded, which means that stable and efficient management of Daewhangjam egg production is possible.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological condition that is recognized as one of the primary causes of memory loss. AD currently has no cure. Therefore, the need to develop an efficient model with high precision for timely detection of the disease is very essential. When AD is detected early, treatment would be most likely successful. The most often utilized indicators for AD identification are the Mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and the clinical dementia. However, the use of these indicators as ground truth marking could be imprecise for AD detection. Researchers have proposed several computer-aided frameworks and lately, the supervised model is mostly used. In this study, we propose a novel 3D Convolutional Neural Network Multilayer Perceptron (3D CNN-MLP) based model for AD classification. The model uses Attention Mechanism to automatically extract relevant features from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) to generate probability maps which serves as input for the MLP classifier. Three MRI scan categories were considered, thus AD dementia patients, Mild Cognitive Impairment patients (MCI), and Normal Control (NC) or healthy patients. The performance of the model is assessed by comparing basic CNN, VGG16, DenseNet models, and other state of the art works. The models were adjusted to fit the 3D images before the comparison was done. Our model exhibited excellent classification performance, with an accuracy of 91.27% for AD and NC, 80.85% for MCI and NC, and 87.34% for AD and MCI.

Silver diamine fluoride, which can arrest dental caries, is alkaline and may cause mild soft tissue irritation. Water-based silver fluoride has a neutral pH, which is closer to the physiological range, and is biocompatible for use in the oral environment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of water-based silver fluoride on remineralizing early enamel lesions by comparing it with other fluoride agents through microhardness and quantitative light-induced fluorescence measurements. An in vitro study with intact bovine incisors was performed. Artificial enamel lesions were induced and subjected to microhardness and quantitative light-induced fluorescence testing. Specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups for treatment. The specimens in group I were treated with water-based silver fluoride and potassium iodide, group II with silver diamine fluoride and potassium iodide, group III with sodium fluoride varnish, and group IV with distilled water. After 8 days of pH cycling, the specimens were subjected to microhardness and quantitative light-induced fluorescence testing. Water-based silver fluoride and silver diamine fluoride showed the greatest increases in microhardness and quantitative light-induced fluorescence, with no significant differences between the two. Sodium fluoride varnish also exhibited a significant increase in microhardness and quantitative light-induced fluorescence, but the differences were smaller than those for water-based silver fluoride and silver diamine fluoride. Water-based silver fluoride is considered useful in a clinical setting for remineralizing enamel lesions, with the advantages of no risk of tissue burn and improved taste and smell.

Background: This study analyzed the drought responses of five forest tree species grown in Korean peninsula, Korean fir Abies koreana (Ak), eastern white pine Pinus strobus (Ps), keyaki Zelkova serrata (Zs), tulip tree Liriodendron tulipifera (Lt), and Japanese elm Ulmus japonica (Uj). Physiological (chlorophyll, root collar diameter [RCD]) and biochemical responses (non-structural carbohydrates, proline, lipid peroxidase and abscisic acid [ABA]) of the plants grown under mild (MD) and severe drought (SD) were compared. Results: In this study, three soil moisture regimes: control (100% precipitation), MD (60% reduction in precipitation) and SD (20% reduction in precipitation) were applied. Soil moisture content showed high water content in control site compared to MD and SD. A decline in RCD was found for Korean fir, keyaki, and tulip plants, with eastern white pine and Japanese elm showing no significant decline to the prolonged drought exposure (both MD and SD). Total chlorophyll showed a significant decline in Korean fir and tulip, with the sugar levels indicating a significant increase in Korean fir and keyaki species under SD compared to control plants. Non-significant decline in sugar level was noted for eastern white pine and Japanese elm. High accumulation of ABA, malondealdehyde and proline was noted in Korean fir, tulip, and keyaki under SD compared to control. Signs of tree mortality was only observed in Korean fir under MD (38%) and SD (43%). Conclusions: The observed findings indicate the drought responses of five tree species. The majority of the morpho-physiological (especially mortality) and biochemical variables assessed in our study indicate superior long-term drought resistance of Ps and Uj compared to the highly sensitive Ak, and moderately sensitive Lt and Zs. The results provided will help species selection for afforestation programs and establishment of sustainable forests, especially of drought-tolerant species, under increased frequency and intensity of spring and summer droughts.

The purpose of this study was to develop a parenting intervention program and determine the efficacy of the program with low-birth weight infants and their mothers. Nine dyads for the experimental group and twelve dyads for the control group discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in Seoul were recruited for the study. For the intervention group, programmed education and support which focused on the maternal sensitivity of the infant's behavior. rearing environment. motherinfant interaction and infant care were given to each subject. Individual counseling and home visits were provided at discharge, one week after discharge. and one and three months of corrected age in every infant. Structured questionaires were administered and feeding interactions were videotaped and coded by a blinded certified observer. A Quasi-experimental design was conducted for this study. Postpartum depression, maternal self esteem. infant care burden, HOME. mother-infant interaction, and infant development were measured. Results were in favor of the intervention versus the control group. On the Beck depression inventory, intervention mothers showed decreasing trends in depressive symptom vs control mothers although, there were statistically no significant differences between the two groups at each time. The mean score of experimental group was 11.55(mild depression state) at discharge and became 8,6(normal state) at 1 month of corrected age. On the other hand, the mean score of the control group was 13.92(mild depression state) at discharge and became 14.0. Maternal self esteem in both groups improved over time. Infant care burden in both groups was also shown to increase over time. There was a significant difference between the two groups in HOME(p=.0340) at 3 months of corrected age. HOME scores of the experimental group and the control's were 31.10 and 25.58, respectively. Mothers' emotional and language responses were significantly high in the intervention group compared with the control group(p=.0155). Intervention group (53.33) showed a significantly high quality of motherinfant interaction compared with the in control group (42.80)(p =.0340). Intervention group mothers appeared have a better quality of mother-infant interaction behaviors. On the other hand, there was no statistical difference in the infant part between groups. Intervention group infants had higher trends in a general developmental quotient: although, there was no statistical difference between groups. The general developmental quotient of intervention infants was 102.56 and control's was 91.28. However, the developmental quotient of the domain of 'individuality-sociality' was higher in the intervention group infants compared with the control's(p=.0155). The concerns identified by parents revealed two domains of an infants' health management -knowledge and skills in caregiving of lowbirthweight-infants, characteristics of lowbirthweight infants, identifying a developmental milestone, coping with emergency situations and relaxation strategies of mothers from the infant care burden. Interview data with the mothers of low-birth weight infants can be used to develop intervention program contents. Limited intervention time and frequency due to time and cost limitations of this study should be modified. The intervention should be continuously implemented when low-birth weight infants become three years old. An NNNS demonstration appeared to be a very effective intervention for the mothers to improve the quality of mother-infant interactions. Therefore intervening in the mothers of low-birth weight infants as early after delivery as possible is desirable. This study has shown that home visit interventions are worthwhile for mothers only beyond the approach as an essential factor in ability of facilitating a growth fostering environment. In conclusion. the intervention program of this study was very effective in enhancing the parenting for the mothers of low-birth weight infants, resulting in health promotion of low-birth weight infants. The home-visit outreach intervention program of this study will contribute to the health delivery system in this country where there is a lack of continuous follow-up programs for low-birth weight infants after discharge from NICU, if it is activated as part of the home visit programs in community health systems.

본 연구에서는 쌍동형 카페리에 다수 존재하는 유공판의 좌굴강도 설계 수행 결과 및 개선사항을 논의하고 있다. 카페리와 같이 길이가 50미터 이상이고, 길이/폭의 비가 12보다 큰 중/소형 고속선박은 상대적으로 두께가 얇고 연강을 사용함으로서 좌굴강도가 취약해질 가능성이 농후하다. 특히, 작업자의 접근 및 통로로 활용되는 유공판에서 좌굴강도가 취약해질 가능성이 있다. 안전한 구조설계를 위해서는 유공주위의 면내 하중 재 분포에 의한 좌굴강도 및 최종강도에 대한 명확한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유공판의 좌굴 및 최종강도 특성에 영향을 미치는 매개변수의 영향을 종합적으로 고려하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 활용한 비선형시리즈 해석을 수행하였으며, 주요 변수(종횡비, 유공비, 유공형상)들에 대한 영향을 검토하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 하여, 유공판의 좌굴강도를 결정짓는 가장 큰 인자는 유공비였으며, 종횡비와 유공의 형상은 그 영향이 미비하였다.

제주도는 전통적으로 전년 내내 온화한 해양기후조건을 가지고 있으며 청정한 자연환경과 극적인 해안경관으로 세계적인 휴양지로 유명하다. 그러나 우리나라 곳곳의 해안지역에서처럼 제주도 역시 해안구조물 건설 및 항만 재개발에 자연환경의 변화에 따른 예측하지 못한 해안침식 문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 이들 지역에서는 섬의 남쪽 해안선에서 침식으로 인한 해안선의 급격한 변화를 보이는 것은 물론 해안선 절벽까지도 무너져 내리는 현상까지 나타나고 있다. 이미 선진국에서는 여러 해안공학자 및 연구자들이 해안침식에 대한 연구를 오랫동안 심도 있게 다루어 왔으나 우리나라에서는 아직 이 방면에 연구 활동이 미약하고 기초연구자료도 미흡하여 대책공법의 수립에 어려움이 존재하며, 무분별한 대책공법의 시행으로 인해 청정해안 환경에 복잡하고 치명적인 영향을 초래할 우려가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 외국에서의 여러 사례를 조사하고 해안선 침식방지는 물론 환경친화적이고 친수기능을 겸비한 종합적인 방재 대책공법으로 인공리프, 부유식 방파제 그리고 이중원통 케이슨식 방파제를 찾아내어 제안하고자 하였다. 제안된 방법은 수치모델을 통해 대상해역에 적용하여 그 결과를 비교하여 그 타당성을 평가해 보았다.

무(Raphanus sativus L.) 육종 계통들에 대한 순무모자이크 바이러스(Turnip mosaic virus, TuMV) 저항성을 평가하기 위하여, 20개 무 육종계통들의 잎에 순무모자이크바이러스 BR 병원성을 가지는 국내 분리 계통을 즙액 접종하였다. 순무모자이크바이러스를 접종한 무 개체들은 $22^{\circ}C{\pm}3^{\circ}C$에서 재배하였으며 4주 동안 바이러스 병징 발현을 육안으로 조사하여 저항성을 평가하였다. 순무모자이크바이러스 감염에 의해서 무 육종계통들의 다른 병징 발현에 의해 분석한 결과, 16개 무 계통은 약한 모자이크, 모틀링에서 심한 모자이크 전신 병징을 보였으며 감수성으로 판별되었다. 이러한 결과는 순무모자이크바이러스 외피단백질 유전자에 대한 특이적 역전사중합효소연쇄반응에 의하여 확인되어, 순무모자이크바이러스가 병징을 발현시킨 원인이었다. 이와는 다르게 4개 무 육종계통들에서는 모자이크 등 전신 감염 병징이 발현되지 않았으며, 동일한 무 육종 계통들의 개체들에서 8주 동안 병징이 관찰되지 않았다. 역전사중합효소연쇄반응으로 조사한 결과 4개 무 육종 계통들의 상엽들에서 순무모자이크바이러스가 검출되지 않았다. 이런 결과는 4개 무 육종계통들이 순무모자이크바이러스에 대한 강한 저항성을 가지고 있음을 예시해준다.
