Recently, Due to Climate change, extreme rainfall occurs frequently. In many preceding studies, Because of extreme hydrological events changes, it is expected that peak flood Magnitude and frequency of drainage infrastructures changes. However, at present, probability rainfall in the drainage facilities design is assumed to Stationary which are not effected from climate change and long-term fluctuation. In the future, flood control safety standard should be reconsidered about the valid viewpoint. In this paper, in order to assess impact of climate change on drainage system, Future climate change information has been extracted from RCP 8.5 Climate Change Scenario for IPCC AR5, then estimated the design rainfall for various durations at return periods. Finally, the design flood estimated through the HEC-HMS Model which is being widely used in the practices, estimated the effect of climate change on the Design Flood of Mihochen basin. The results suggested that the Design Flood increase by climate change. Due to this, the Flood risk of Mihochen basin can be identified to increase comparing the present status.

Antibody changes in experimental anisakiasis were observed in 10 rabbits which were infected each with 10 Anisakis simplex larvae. The sera were collected before and on the 6th to the 95th day after the infection. Using crude saline extract of Anisakis larvae as antigen, specific IgM and IgG antibody levels were observed by ELISA and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresislimmunoblot. Levels of specific-IgM antibody were elevated from the 6th day, reached their peaks on the lIth day after the infection, and dropped thereafter. Serum levels of IgG antibody increased from the 6th day and reached their peak on the 26th day after the infection, and decreased gradually thereafter. When SDS-PAGE of the crude extract was done, at least forty-one SDS-polypeptide bands were recognized. Of them, IgM antibody reacted mainly to the bands of 168, 95, 74, 64, 51, 47 and 34 kDa while IgG antibody reacted strongly to 168, 92, 85, 64, 58, 52, 42 and 40 kDa bands. The crude extract showed negligible cross reactions with sera of other parasitic diseases and normal control. Key words: Anisakis simplex larvae, experimental anisakiasis, rabbit, antibody, ELISA, SDS- PAGE/immunoblot.

Pine nut oil (PNO) is well known to impart beneficial effects in overweight individuals, but the mechanisms underlying PNO-mediated weight loss remain unclear. To investigate how PNO promotes weight loss, its composition was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In addition, the effects of PNO on cytotoxicity, lipid accumulation, expression of lipid metabolism-related biomarkers, and leptin secretion were assessed in 3T3-L1 cells. GC-MS analyses revealed that PNO contains several components, including linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. Moreover, PNO did not have a cytotoxic effect on 3T3-L1 cells. However, it inhibited the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and adipocyte protein 2 (aP2). Finally, PNO significantly increased leptin secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these results support the notion that PNO is useful for weight management in overweight individuals.

The effects of resistant starches on the quality characteristics of cookies were investigated by the physicochemical, instrumental and sensory properties of RS-added flours and cookies. Retrograded RS3 by autoclaving-cooling cycle and cross-linked RS4 after annealing treatment were used. The protein content of RS-added flour decreased, but the ash content of RS4-added flour increased slightly with increasing RS content. The RS levels of wheat flour, RS3- and RS4-added flours were 7.0%, 9.6-13.4% and 11.5-17.9%, respectively. The swelling powers of RS-added flours at 80$^{\circ}C$ decreased, but the solubility of RS3-added flour increased by 2-3 fold compared to that of control flour. Initial pasting temperature increased, but peak, holding, and final viscosities decreased with increasing RS content. The retrogradation degree of RS-added flours was lowered, because of the decreased consistency and breakdown viscosity. The yellowness of RS3-added flour increased with increasing RS3 content which induced browning reaction during baking. On the sensory test, RS-added cookies were significantly different in shape, color and overall quality (p<0.05), and their texture also affected. Overall quality was higher in peanut cookies than in AACC standard cookies and RS addition (up to 30%, w/w), regardless of the RS type, improved the cookie quality.

It has been recognized that the damage control must become a more explicit design consideration. In an effort to develop design methods based on performance it is clear that the evaluation of the nonlinear response is required. The methods available to the design engineer today are nonlinear time history analyses, monotonic static nonlinear analyses, or equivalent static analyses with simulated nonlinear influences. Some building codes propose the capacity spectrum method based on the nonlinear static analysis(pushover analysis) to determine the earthquake-induced demand given by the structure pushover curve. These procedures are conceptually simple but iterative and time consuming with some errors. This paper presents a nonlinear direct spectrum method(NDSM) to evaluate seismic performance of structures, without iterative computations, given by the structural initial elastic period and yield strength from the pushover analysis, especially for MDF(multi degree of freedom) systems. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the accuracy and confidence of this method from a point of view of various earthquakes and unloading stiffness degradation parameters. The conclusions of this study are as follows; 1) NDSM is considered as practical method because the peak deformations of nonlinear system of MDF by NDSM are almost equal to the results of nonlinear time history analysis(NTHA) for various ground motions. 2) When the results of NDSM are compared with those of NTHA. mean of errors is the smallest in case of post-yielding stiffness factor 0.1, static force by MAD(modal adaptive distribution) and unloading stiffness degradation factor 0.2~0.3.

Aphid is a typical vector that transfers various kinds of viruses to potatoes. Therefore, it is very important to control aphids moving into potato fields. We investigated the seasonal movement pattern of aphids and its virus transmission rates mainly in the three seed potato production regions at highland in Gangwon-do, Korea. In addition, we identified the aphid species with over-wintering eggs collected from barks or twigs of total 57 tree species around potato fields in winter season. The peak time of summer and winter migration of aphid was at the mid-June and the early October, respectively. A 2.8% of total aphid trapped in yellow water-pan trap was turned out PLRV-borne, and the virus transmission rate was 15.4% by Myzus persicae and 9.1% by Macrosiphum euphorbiae. PLRV-borne aphids started to flow in from the late May, and virus transmission rate of aphid trapped in mid-June was the highest with 10.4%. Totally 14 species of aphid eggs wintered in the 17 species of trees including Acer pictum subsp. mono and Acer pseudosieboldianum at the 11 sites. In particular, because it is not certain that Betula platyphylla var. japonica and Yamatocallis hirayamae do transmit potato virus, but they over-wintered in host plants distributed over a wide area, further research on transmission ability is necessary.

In this paper, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) power amplifier(PA) integrated circuit operating in the 900 MHz band for long-term evolution(LTE) communication systems is presented. The output matching network based on a transformer was implemented on a printed circuit board for low loss. Simultaneously, to achieve high efficiency of the PA, the second harmonic impedances are controlled. The CMOS PA was fabricated using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and measured using an LTE uplink signal with a bandwidth of 10 MHz and peak to average power ratio of 7.2 dB for verification. The implemented CMOS PA module exhibits a power gain of 24.4 dB, power-added efficiency of 34.2%, and an adjacent channel leakage ratio of -30.1 dBc at an average output power level of 24.3 dBm.

In this study, illite was size-reduced using a wet-ball-milling treatment to improve its dispersion. Changes in illite particle size, size distribution, and dispersion characteristics after varying the treatment period were investigated. And the dispersion and dispersion stability of illite solution after 2 h wet ball milling treatment with different pH conditions were also evaluated. The illite particle size significantly decreased as the treatment time increased and the size reduction effect of wet ball milling deteriorated above 2 h treatment time. In addition, illite particle size was more evenly distributed as the treatment time increased. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that no crystal structural changes of illite were induced, but the characteristic peak of illite the weaker due to the size reduction and exfoliation, as the treatment time increased. Zeta potential analysis showed that the illite dispersion improved, as the treatment time increased. The illite wet-ball-mill treated at pH 2 had the lowest dispersion stability. Illite dispersion and dispersion stability increased as pH increased, due to the increase in surface ionization. Hence, the results showed that as the treatment time increased, the illite particle size decreased, and dispersion and dispersion stability improved due to the increase in surface energy and repulsion force between particles.

High amylose corn starch and dextrin (acid-treated at 30, 40 and 50℃ denominated as Dextrin30, Dextrin40 and Dextrin50) were added to non-fried instant noodles. X-ray diffraction pattern, water absorption, cooking loss, microstructure, and textural properties of non-fried instant noodles were investigated. The addition of high amylose corn starch/dextrin induced a slight peak intensity at 20o in the X-ray pattern indicating the insignificant formation of amylose-lipid complex. Non-fried instant noodles including high amylose corn starch/dextrin showed lower water absorption than the control. Dense microstructure in transverse section of noodles was observed in non-fried instant noodles including high amylose corn starch/dextrin except Dextrin50. Also, the addition of high amylose corn starch/dextrin induced low tensile strength, high firmness, and high stickiness. However, non-fried instant noodles containing Dextrin50 showed a loose microstructure and high cooking loss (3.98%), which might be associated with the textural properties such as the lowest tensile strength (0.17 N), lowest increase in firmness (46.77 N) and highest stickiness (18.43 N).

We have studied a tiled-aperture coherent-beam-combining system based on constructive interference, as a way to overcome the power limitation of a single laser. A 1-watt-level, 3-channel coherent fiber laser and a 3-channel fiber array of triangular tiling with tip-tilt function were developed. A monitoring system, phase controller, and 3-channel phase modulator formed a closed-loop control system, and the SPGD algorithm was applied. Eventually, phase-locking with a rate of 5-67 kHz and peak-intensity efficiency comparable to the ideal case of 53.3% was successfully realized. We were able to develop the essential elements for a tiled-aperture coherent-beam-combining system that had the potential for highest output power without any beam-combining components, and a multichannel coherent-beam-combining system with higher output power and high speed is anticipated in the future.
