In this study, the hydraulic gradient was calculated using the groundwater level and rainfall observed in the Hyogyo-ri area for a year, and the change in the hydraulic gradient according to the rainfall was analyzed. It was found that the groundwater level increased as the rainfall increased in all groundwater wells in the research site, and the groundwater level rise decreased as the altitude of the groundwater well increased. The hydraulic gradient in the research site ranged from 0.016 to 0.048, decreasing during rainfall and increasing after the end of the rainfall. As the rainfall increased, the groundwater level rise in the low-altitude area was more than the high-altitude area, and the hydraulic gradient decreased due to the difference in groundwater level rise according to the altitude. Through this study, it was found that the influence of rainfall is dominant for the fluctuation of the hydraulic gradient in the unconfined aquifer.

The semiconductor industry, which relies on global supply chains, has recently been facing longer lead time for material procurement due to supply chain uncertainties. Moreover, since increasing customer satisfaction and reducing inventory costs are in a trade-off relationship, it is challenging to determine the appropriate safety stock level under demand and lead time uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a framework for determining safety stock levels by utilizing the optimization method to determine the optimal safety stock level. Additionally, we employ a linear regression method to analyze customer satisfaction scores and inventory costs based on variations in lead time and demand. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we compared safety stock levels obtained by the regression equations with those of the conventional method. The numerical experiments demonstrated that the proposed method successfully reduces inventory costs while maintaining the same level of customer satisfaction when lead time increases.

Thousands of pelagic and demersal fishes inhabit the waters around Korea and many of them are overexploited. One of the reasons is technological development, which increases the efficiency of the vessels continuously. The analysis was conducted to identify the change of fishing power index to develop the vessel and gear technology that may have improved the fishing efficiency of the otter trawl fishery from 1960s to 2010s. Gross tonnage was decreased stably, but horse power was increased annually. The perimeter of net mouth was somewhat longer, but little changed. Color fish finder was utilized from the mid-1960s. Hydraulic net drum were introduced in the early 1990s, and supply rate was gradually increased. Surveys on the supply and upgrading of fishing equipment utilized visiting research. Therefore, the relative fishing power index in the trawl fishery increased about two to three times in the 2010s compared to the 1980s. The results are expected to contribute to reasonable fisheries stock management.

We have built a near-infrared imaging camera with a PtSi array detector manufactured by the Mitsubishi Company. The PtSi detector is sensitive in the wavelength range 1 to $5{\mu}m$. Quantum efficiency of PtSi is much lower than that of InSb and HgCdTe types. However, the PtSi array has advantages over the latter ones: (i)The read-out noise is very low; (ii)the characteristics of the array elements arc uniform and stable; (iii)it is not difficult to make a large PtSi array; and (iv) consequently the price is affordably low. The array used consists of $512{\times}512$ pixels and its size is $10.2\;mm{\times}13.3\;mm$. The filter wheel of the camera is equipped with J, H, K filters, and an aluminum plate for measuring the dark noise. The dewar is cooled with liquid nitrogen. We have adopted a method of installing the clock pattern and the observing softwares in the RAM, which Gill he easily used for other systems. We have developed a software with a pull-down menu for operating the camera and data acquisition. The camera has been tested by observing $\delta$ Orionis.

Background: The mushroom Phellinus linteus (PL) has been shown to have the anti-tumor and immunostimulatory effects. We hypothesized that the hot water extract of PL (WEPL) exerts its significant immunostimulatory effect by inducing production of the Th1-derived cytokine interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$) by T lymphocytes. Methods: T lymphocytes were isolated from the mice fed with 200 mg/kg of WEPL once a day for 4 weeks, and then stimulated with the mitogen concanavaline A (Con A). IFN-${\gamma}$ gene and intracellular protein expressions were analyzed by RT-PCR and flow cytometry, respectively. The production of IFN-${\gamma}$ was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: WEPL significantly enhanced the transcription of IFN-${\gamma}$ mRNA. The effect of WEPL on IFN-${\gamma}$ expression was further supported by a concomitant increase in the number of cells with intracellular IFN-${\gamma}$ protein as well as the secretion of IFN-${\gamma}$. However, WEPL did not modulate either gene expression or protein secretion of interleukin-4, a Th2-associated cytokine, by Con A-stimulated T lymphocytes. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that one of the potentially beneficial anti-tumor and immunostimulatory effects of WEPL may be mediated through the enhancement of IFN-${\gamma}$ secretion by T lymphocytes.

The history of nuclear fusion research in Korea is rather short compared to that of advanced countries. However, since the mid-1990s, at which time the construction of KSTAR was about to commence, fusion research in Korea has been actively carried out in a wide range of areas, from basic plasma physics to fusion reactor design. The flourishing of fusion research partly owes to the fact that industrial technologies in Korea including those related to the nuclear field have been fully matured, with their quality being highly ranked in the world. Successive pivotal programs such as KSTAR and ITER have provided diverse opportunities to address new scientific and technological problems in fusion as well as to draw young researchers into related fields. The frame of the Korean nuclear fusion program is now changing from a small laboratory scale to a large national agenda. Coordinated strategies from different views and a holistic approach are necessary in order to achieve optimal efficiency and effectiveness. Upon this background, the present paper reflects upon the road taken to arrive at this point and looks ahead at the coming future in nuclear fusion research activities in Korea.

브라운관 후면유리 연마 후 발생되는 고상의 유리폐기물을 재활용을 위해, A형 제올라이트의 최적합성조건을 규명하고 생성된 제올라이트의 제반 특성을 기존의 상용 제올라이트와 비교하였다. 테프론 반응용기에 고규산질 알카리용액, NaAlO$_2$그리고 브라운관 유리폐기물 등 3가지 출발물질을 혼합하고, 80∼95$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 가열하여 제올라이트 Na-A를 열수조건하에서 결정화시켰다. 고규산질 알카리 용액은 자연산 규석을 35$0^{\circ}C$, 1500 기압하에서, NaAlO$_2$는 NaOH와 Al(OH)$_3$시약을 95$^{\circ}C$에서 2∼3시간 가열하여 $Na_2$O/Al$_2$O$_3$=1.4, $H_2O$/$Na_2$O=8이 되도록 각각 합성하여 출발물질로 사용하였다. 브라운관 유리 폐기물과 고규산질 알카리 용액의 혼합비율 약 1:10∼1:13의 범위에서 Al-공급원으로서 1.5∼2.5N의 NaAlO$_2$를 혼합하였을 때 양호한 A-형 제올라이트 결정이 생성되었다. 합성된 Na-A는 하이드록시소달라이트 등과 같은 불순물이 없는 단일상이었으며, 결정형태는 입방 십이면체 (cubo-dodecahedral)형이었고 결정의 1∼2 $\mu$의 균질한 입도로 분포하였다. Ca+ 양이온교환용량은 215∼220 mequivalent/100 g이었다.

An enrichment semi-nested PCR procedure was developed for detection of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, E, and F. It was applied to sediment samples to examine the prevalence of C. botulinum in the Korean environment. The first pair of primers for the semi-nested PCR was designed using a region shared by the types A, B, E, and F neurotoxin gene sequences, and the second round employed four nested primers complementary to the BoNT/A, /B, /E, and /F encoding genes for simultaneous detection of the four serotypes. Positive results were obtained from the PCR analysis of five of 44 sediments (11%) collected from Yeong-am Lake in Korea; all were identified as deriving from type B neurotoxin (bontb) genes. Two of the C. botulinum type B organisms were isolated, and their bontb genes sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequences of BoNT/B showed 99.5 and 99.8% identity with the amino acid sequence of accession no. AB084152. Our data suggest that semi-nested PCR is a useful tool for detecting C. botulinum in sediments, and renders it practicable to conduct environmental surveys.

이 논문에서는 시점이 고정된 경우 프레임간의 시간 일관성을 이용해서 z-버퍼 알고리즘의 렌더링 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. z-버퍼 알고리즘은 일단의 다각형들을 렌더링하는 동안 각 화소의 깊이 값을 저장해서 나머지 다각형들을 렌더링할 때 이들의 가시성을 판별하는데 사용한다. 만약 일부 다각형들에 해당하는 색상과 깊이 정보를 렌더링을 하지 않고도 얻어 낼 수 있다면, 나머지 다각형들만을 렌더링해서 동일한 화상을 얻을 수 있다. 화면의 갱신주기가 짧은 경우 연속된 두 프레임에서 움직임이 없는 다각형들의 집합은 상당히 큰 일관성을 가진다. 이러한 시간 일관성을 이용하면 연속한 프레임에서 움직임이 없는 다각형들의 색상과 깊이 정보를 새롭게 계산할 필요가 없다. 이를 위해 고정된 다각형들의 색상과 깊이 정보를 따로 저장해두었다가 재사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 복잡한 자료구조를 사용하거나 기존 z-버퍼 알고리즘 자체를 바꾼 것이 아니므로 구현이 쉽고 하드웨어로 구현하기도 용이하다.
