This study aims to find out negative factors against public safety in urban parks. Longitudinal data between 1994 and 2008 were analyzed to suggest management implication for high quality security and safety in urban park. Results are summarized as follows. Firstly, investigation of visitor to the park at night reveals that visitors who were elderly, walking out, and family group increased, and that most visitors took a stroll for one hour around 8:00pm. Olympic park (e.g. leisure facility 66.7%), Hyo-won park (e.g. vacant lot 23.8%), Jang-an park (e.g. near hedge 30.1%), and Mae-tan park (e.g. leisure facility 20.8%) were revealed as latent places of serious criminals. Secondly, both in 1994 and in 2008, principal factors of public safety were summarized as fear for violence(X1) and fear for closed space(X3). These factors took 3.22 followed by 3.07 respectively in the overall mean of public safety of parks. Thirdly, overall mean of public safety takes 2.22 in 1994 and 2.96 in 2008, which shows uncertainty of effective management of facilities with a viewpoint of visitors. All parks shows negative trend in public safety, in short.

In our study we performed a sentiments analysis from the images. For this purpose, we used 153 images that contain: people, animals, buildings, landscapes, cakes and objects that we divided into two categories: images that suggesting a positive or a negative emotion. In order to classify the images using the two categories, we created two models. The SAI-G model was created with Google's AutoML Vision service. The SAI-C model was created on the Clarifai platform. The data were labeled in a preprocessing stage, and for the SAI-C model we created the concepts POSITIVE (POZITIV) AND NEGATIVE (NEGATIV). In order to evaluate the performances of the two models, we used a series of evaluation metrics such as: Precision, Recall, ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve, Precision-Recall curve, Confusion Matrix, Accuracy Score and Average precision. Precision and Recall for the SAI-G model is 0.875, at a confidence threshold of 0.5, while for the SAI-C model we obtained much lower scores, respectively Precision = 0.727 and Recall = 0.571 for the same confidence threshold. The results indicate a lower classification performance of the SAI-C model compared to the SAI-G model. The exception is the value of Precision for the POSITIVE concept, which is 1,000.

Purpose - This paper analyzes the economic and non-economic factors that contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing CO₂ emissions, based on G20 panel data. Design/methodology - We conduct a comparative analysis of advanced and developing economies during 1995-2016. To examine the impact, an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) model was employed, incorporating additional explanatory variables such as internet use, renewable energy, and services trade. Findings - The empirical findings show the existence of an inverted U-shaped EKC phenomenon between GDP per capita and CO₂ emissions in G20 economies, with the turning point at a per capita GDP level of US$ 38,340. Moreover, an inverted U-shape relation exists between internet use and CO₂ emissions, with the turning point at a 44% internet use rate. The comparative analysis show that the inverted U-shape curve only exits in advanced economies, with turning points of US$ 42,356 per capita GDP and 27% internet use rate, respectively. Renewable energy and services trade have a greater negative impact on CO₂ emissions in advanced economies than in developing economies. Originality/value - Renewable energy and services trade have a greater negative impact on CO₂ emissions in advanced economies than in developing economies. Overall, the results suggest the role of internet use, renewable energy and services trade in sustainable development in G20 countries.

본 연구는 굴 가수분해물이 아세트아미노펜에 의한 간독성의 무독화 효과를 HepG-2 세포를 사용하여 조사하였다. 굴 가수분해물은 굴 단백질의 가교연결을 위해 TGase로 전처리하거나(TGPN) 혹은 하지 않고(PN), 1% Protamex와 1% Neutrase 단백질 분해효소로 2단 가수분해하였다. 두 종류의 굴 가수분해물은 아세트아미노펜으로 간 손상을 유도한 세포에 각각 처리하여 세포 생존율을 측정하였으며, 세포 배양 시 배양액으로 유출된 GOT와 GPT 활성을 측정하였다. TGPN 가수분해물의 경우 아세트아미노펜만을 처리한 negative 대조군($60.7{\pm}3.2%$)에 비하여 $100{\mu}g/mL$와 $200{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 각각 $136.2{\pm}1.4%$와 $179.6{\pm}3.8%$의 높은 세포 생존율을 보였다. PN 가수분해물은 $100{\mu}g/mL$와 $200{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 각각 $107.9{\pm}8.8%$와 $130.6{\pm}7.6%$의 세포 생존율을 보였다. GOT 활성은 negative 대조군의 경우에 $38.3{\pm}0.2$ Karmen/mL이었으며, TGPN($200{\mu}g/mL$)과 PN($200{\mu}g/mL$)에서는 $19.9{\pm}0.5$와 $22.0{\pm}2.4$ Karmen/mL로 농도에 따라 유의적인 활성 감소를 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 GPT 활성도 GOT와 같은 경향의 활성을 나타내었다. 이 같은 결과에 미루어 굴 유래 가수분해물의 간 보호 건강 기능 식품 혹은 약물 개발의 가능성을 확인하였으며 앞으로 가수분해 펩티드 중의 유효성분에 대한 구조동정과 작용 기전에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Mixed micelle formation behavior of cationic surfactant-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous as well as in urea medium from 303.15 K to 323.15 K at 5 K interval was carried out by conductometric method. The differences between the experimental values of critical micelle concentrations (cmc) and ideal critical micelle concentrations ($cmc^{id}$) illustrate the interaction between the amphiphiles studied. The values of micellar mole fraction ($X_1^{Rub}$ (Rubingh), $X_1^M$ (Motomura), $X_1^{Rod}$ (Rodenas) and $X_1^{id}$(ideal) of surfactant CTAB determined by different proposed models and outcome indicate high involvement of CTAB in SDS-CTAB mixed micellization, which enhance by means of the augment of mole fraction of CTAB. The negative value of interaction parameter (${\beta}$) showed an attractive interaction involving CTAB and SDS. Activity coefficients were less than unity in all case, which also reveals the presence of interaction between CTAB & SDS. The negative ${\Delta}G^0_m$ values imply the spontaneous mixed micellization phenomenon. The attained values of ${\Delta}H^0_m$ were positive at inferior temperature, while negative at superior temperature. The negative ${\Delta}H^0_m$ values in urea ($NH_2CONH_2$) medium illustrate exothermic micellization process. The magnitudes of ${\Delta}S^0_m$ were positive in almost all cases. The excess free energy of mixed micelle formation (${\Delta}G_{ex}$) was found to be negative, which indicates the stability of mixed micelle as compared to the individual's components micelles.

Negative ion fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra were found to allow the determination of the linkage positions in a series of underivatized linkage-isomeric oligosaccharides. A previous work (Laine et al., 1988) reported that ion patterns of linkage-isomeric trisaccharides could be distinguished by a positive ion. Negative ion FAB collison-activated dissociation (CAD) mass spectrometry (MS) spectra of trisaccharides exhibited better sensitivity than the positive ion mode and provided specific fragmentation patterns according to the linkage positions. Especially, the fragmentations, m/z 205 in F6 and m/z 221 in G6, not occuring in 1-3 or 1-4 linkage. were an indication of 1-6 linkage, by changing collision energies from + 10 eV to +60 eV. The survival ratios of molecular ions in each collision energy set gave support to previous results in which the order of bond stability was 1-6>1-4>1-3 linkage.

Blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared by solution casting method. Calorimetric thermal properties of the blends were investigated. The $T_gs$ of PVA/PEI blends were higher than the $T_gs$ of either of the component polymers at low concentrations of PEI. These abnormal increases of $T_gs$ may be due to the negative entropy of mixing which is associated with strong hydrogen bonding between PVA and PEI. The degree of depression of $T^0_ms$ was not reduced by the negative entropy of mixing, since strong hydrogen bonding also causes an increase in the magnitude of negative ${\chi}$ between PVA and PEI. The $T_g$ of PVA was increased significantly by adding 0.7 wt.% GO into PVA. The magnitude of negative ${\chi}$ was increased by adding GO into the blends of PVA and PEI.

We let (M,g) be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension n $\geq$ 3 with scalar curvatue S, which is close to -1. We show the existence of a conformal metric $\bar{g}$, near to g, whose scalar curvature $\bar{S}$ = -1 by gluing solutions of the corresponding partial differential equation on each bounded subsets $K_i$ with ${\bigcup}K_i$ = M.

We obtain $C^{\infty}$-continuous paths of explicit Riemannian metrics $g_t$, $0{\leq}t$ < ${\varepsilon}$, whose scalar curvatures $s(g_t)$ decrease, where $g_0$ is a flat metric, i.e. a metric with vanishing curvature. Most of them can exist on tori of dimension ${\geq}3$. Some of them yield scalar curvature decrease on a ball in the Euclidean space.

The specific genetic modification in porcine somatic cells by gene targeting has been very difficult because of low efficiency of homologous recombination. To improve gene targeting, we designed three kinds of knock-out vectors with ${\alpha}1,3$-galactosyltransferase gene (${\alpha}1,3$-GT gene), DT-A/pGT5'/neo/pGT3', DT-A/NLS/pGT5'/neo/pGT3' and pGT5'/neo/ pGT3'/NLS. The knock-out vectors consisted of a 4.8-kb fragment as the 5' recombination arm (pGT5') and a 1.9-kb fragment as the 3' recombination arm (pGT3'). We used the neomycin resistance gene (neo) as a positive selectable marker and the diphtheria toxin A (DT-A) gene as a negative selectable marker. These vectors have a neo gene insertion in exon 9 for inactivation of ${\alpha}1,3$-GT locus. DT-A/pGT5'/neo/pGT3' vector contain only positive-negative selection marker with conventional targeting vector. DT-A/NLS/pGT5'/neo/pGT3' vector contain positive-negative selection marker and NLS sequences in upstream of 5' recombination arm which enhances nuclear transport of foreign DNA into bovine somatic cells. pGT5'/neo/pGT3'/NLS vector contain only positive selection marker and NLS sequence in downstream of 3' recombination arm, not contain negative selectable marker. For transfection, linearzed vectors were introduced into porcine ear fibroblasts by electroporation. After 48 hours, the transfected cells were selected with $300{\mu}g/ml$ G418 during 12 day. The G418-resistant colonies were picked, of which 5 colonies were positive for ${\alpha}1,3$-GT gene disruption in 3' PCR and southern blot screening. Three knock-out somatic cells were obtained from DT-A/NLS/ pGT5'/neo/pGT3' knock-out vector. Thus, these data indicate that gene targeting vector using nuclear localization signal and negative selection marker improve targeting efficiency in porcine somatic cells.
