  • Recently, the results of vital tissue test showed that nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) as a disinfection by-product (DBP), could be regarded as a carcinogen because a tumor was observed in organs. U.S.EPA indicated 0.7 ng/L as exposure concentration of NDMA based on a risk assessment target with a lifetime cancer risk of $10^{-6}$. Several recent studies have shown that UV oxidation could remove NDMA. However, UV oxidation is uneconomical and can reform NDMA after treating. In addition, the treatment mechanism of adsorption has not been founddue to the uncertainty of NDMA pathway. In addtion, NDMA has a radioisotope $^{14}C$-labeled which can be analyzed at low concentration of NDMA by Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC). This study has investigated NDMA determination using LSC at an extremely low range from 1 to 100 ng/L and NDMA removal by powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption. For $^{14}C$-NDMA by LSC, the highest correlation over 99% between count number and NDMA concentrationwas obtained with possibility of $^{14}C$-NDMA concentration up to 1 ng/L. In the presence of PAC ranging from 50 to 10,000 mg/L, $^{14}C$-NDMA was removed from 18% to 97% for Sigma-Aldrich corporation (S-A co.) and from 9% to 93% by PAC for Daejung corporation (Dj co.). Hence it was found that the removal efficiency by PAC adsorption could vary depending on PAC types from different companies. For PAC adsorption capacity of $^{14}C$-NDMA using the Freundlich isotherm, $K_f$ and 1/n of PAC from S-A co. were $2.67\times10^{-3}$ ng/mg and 1.009, while those of PAC from Dj co. were $1.30\times10^{-3}$ ng/mg and 0.994, respectively. Thus, PAC from S-A co. showed twice higher adsorption capacity than Dj co.

  • Objectives: This study was conducted to identify the rates of perceived stress of elderly people over 65 years old and to confirm the influence of stress on general health and oral health status. Methods: Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey for 2014, 1,472 people over 65 years of age were selected as final subjects. Stress was used as an independent variable and dependent variables were included physical health (perceived health status), mental health (depression), and oral health (perceived oral health status). The following confounding variables were adjusted for the current study: demographic characteristics (gender, age, education level, house income) and health - related characteristics (drinking, smoking, exercise, frequency of tooth brushing, using oral care product, dental exam, comorbidity, restrict activity). Complex sampling analysis was applied and logistic regression was performed to determine the effects of stress on physical health, mental health and oral health status. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% Confidence Interval, 95% CI) were calculated. Results: Logistic regression indicated that stress was significantly associated with low physical health (OR=2.18, 95%CI: 1.49-3.20), low mental health (OR=8.68, 95%CI: 4.98-15.11), low oral health (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.06-2.21) after adjusting for confounding variables. Conclusions: The perceived stress of the elderly was found to be related to the general health and oral health status. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate stress as a predictor of health risk for the health promotion of the elderly on multidisciplinary assessment and continuous evaluation. In addition, health support policies should be provided to achieve good health status for elderly.

  • In recent years, the proportion of arable land in the nation has grown from 36.2 percent in 1990 to 43.7 percent in 2013. The study first performed the vulnerability assessment of agricultural production, transportation, processing facilities, agricultural machinery leasing facilities, and water supply facilities. It was developed for the evaluation of the vulnerability of each gun of garlic and onions based on the distance from the three groups of arable bodies to the facility and the processing capacity of facilities. In view of these regional imbalances, the store, distribution and processing facilities in the main stream were found in Haenam, South Jeolla-do, and the relatively low regions of the gun were located in Goheung-gun and Hampyeong-gun. Among other regions, agricultural machinery rental facilities were high in Changnyeong-gun, Haenam, and two regions, while the water supply facilities were high in the southern area of Haenam and South Jeolla-do. The Gyeongsang-do showed relatively high levels of comparison vulnerability index compared to Jeolla-do regions. In particular, through the management plan to improve the facilities needed to improve agricultural production infrastructure, it is necessary to increase the competitiveness of agricultural productuivity through the planning of the need for additional support through the rural readjustment project.

  • In this study, we compare the mass release rates of radionuclides(1) from waste forms arising from the KIEP-21 pyroprocessing system with (2) those from the directly-disposed pressurized-water reactor spent fuel, to investigate the potential radiological and environmental impacts. In both cases, most actinides and their daughters have been observed to remain in the vicinity of waste packages as precipitates because of their low solubility. The effects of the waste-form alteration rate on the release of radionuclides from the engineered-barrier boundary have been found to be significant, especially for congruently released radionuclides. the total mass release rate of radionuclides from direct disposal concept is similar to those from the pyroprocessing disposal concept. While the mass release rates for most radionuclides would decrease to negligible levels due to radioactive decay while in the engineered barriers and the surrounding host rock in both cases even without assuming any dilution or dispersal mechanisms during their transport, significant mass release rates for three fission-product radionuclides, $^{129}I$, $^{79}Se$, and $^{36}Cl$, are observed at the 1,000-m location in the host rock. For these three radionuclides, we need to account for dilution/dispersal in the geosphere and the biosphere to confirm finally that the repository would achieve sufficient level of radiological safety. This can be done only after we have known where the repository site would by sited. the footprint of repository for the KIEP-21 system is about one tenth of those for the direct disposal.

  • The study was designed to observe the correlation between the eating habits and growth development in 1,574 children (3-6 years old) in Kyunggi-do and Seoul, Korea. The eating habits and nutrient intake were determined by mini dietary assessment and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). 35.6% children had been practicing an unbalanced diets. Children with unbalanced diet consumed less amount of protein source foods (meat, fish, egg, soy products), vegetables and fruits and had irregular meal time, but more of them preferred sweet foods (ice creme, cookies) and carbonated drinks as snack compared with children in balanced diet. 24-35% children consumed energy, iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), Niacin, Zinc (Zn) less than 75% RDA. Energy intake of children with unbalanced diet was not significantly different from those with balanced diet, but they consumed less amount of niacin, Fe, Ca and Zn than those with balanced diet. By using the relative percentage of standard weight-length-index (WLI), 65.7% children was normal weight, 12.9% was underweight, 13.4% was overweight and 7.9% was obese. However, 11.9% of underweight and normal weight children was so called thin obese since their body fat content was greater than 20%. There were 16.8% underweight in children with unbalanced diet and 12.6% underweight in those with balanced diet. Compared to normal weight, the underweight children significantly consumed less amount of milk and its product, high protein foods, fried foods and fruits, but obese children consumed more high protein source foods (meat, fish, egg, etc) and sweet foods. In conclusion, the eating habits of unbalanced meal was prevalent problem in preschool children which resulting in their health risks. Therefore, it would be needed that new approach for nutrition education to improve eating habits in preschoolers.

  • Purpose: This study was a cross-sectional study comparing differences in self-management knowledge, self-management, physiologic indexes, and symptoms experience for two methods of dialysis. Methods: Participants were 90 patients on hemodialysis and 91 on peritoneal dialysis at A hospital. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups for knowledge of self-management. A comparison of the categories in the evaluation of self-management showed that patients in the peritoneal dialysis group took better care of their dialysis access route (F=17.61, p<.001) and dialysis schedule (F=4.30, p=.040). The physiologic indexes between the two dialysis groups showed that hemoglobin levels were higher in the hemodialysis group (F=5.28, p=.023). The product of serum calcium and phosphate was higher in the peritoneal dialysis group (F=11.42, p=.001). Serum sodium level was also higher in the peritoneal dialysis group (t=5.36, p<.001) while serum albumin level (t=-3.36, p=.001) and mean arterial blood pressure (t=-2.50, p=.013) were higher in hemodialysis patients. There were no significant differences in the proportion of uncomfortable experiences between the two groups. Conclusion: Medical personnel should consider differences in self-management knowledge/self-management, physiologic indexes, and symptoms experience for hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis populations, and should provide adequate education accordingly and promote behavioral change to improve physiologic indexes and reduce symptoms.

  • The optical sensors of Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) and Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI) aboard the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) will be placed in a sun synchronous orbit in late 1999. The EOC and OSMI sensors are expected to produce the land mapping imagery of Korean territory and the ocean color imagery of world oceans, respectively. Utilization of the EOC and OSMI data would encompass the various fields of science and technology such as land mapping, land use and development, flood monitoring, biological oceanography, fishery, and environmental monitoring. Readiness of data support for user community is thus essential to the success of the KOMPSAT program. As a part of testing such readiness prior to the KOMPSAT launch, we have performed the preliminary acceptance test for the KOMPSAT data processing system using the simulated EOC and OSMI data sets. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the readiness of the KOMPSAT data processing system, and to help data users understand how the KOMPSAT EOC and OSMI data are processed, archived, and provided. Test results demonstrate that all requirements described in the data processing specification have been met, and that the image integrity is maintained for all products. It is however noted that since the product accuracy is limited by the simulated sensor data, any quantitative assessment of image products can not be made until actual KOMPSAT images will be acquired.

  • FPAR는 다양한 육상 생태계 모텔에서 중요한 입력변수로 사용된다. 이 때문에 다양한 global product의 형태로 제공되고 있다. 하지만 한반도를 영역으로 하는 연구에 이를 바로 적용 시 오차가 발생할 수 있고, 이것은 위성자료를 이용한 지면 정보 산출에 있어서 직접적인 오차요인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Terra/MODIS와 SPOT/VEGETATION 그리고 ECOCLIMAP 자료를 이용해 한반도에 최적화된 FPAR를 산출 하였고, 또한 기존에 사용하였던 LAI와의 관계식을 사용하지 않고, SPOT/VGT NDVI 로부터 계산된 FVC (Fraction Vegetation Cover)를 직접 이용하여 FPAR를 산출 하였다. 이를 위해 식생지수의 선형/비선형 관계를 이용하여 구하는 경험적인 방법을 적용하여 회귀분석을 수행한 결과 cropland와 forest에서 각각 결정계수 (Coefficient of Determination, $R^2$)가 0.9039. 0.7901으로 정확도가 높은 관계식을 도출해내었다. 최종적으로 Reference FPAR 자료와의 비교 분석을 통해 본 연구에서 산출된 FPAR가 전반적인 패턴을 잘 표현하면서 불규칙하게 발생하던 노이즈 또한 보정된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 한반도에 최적화된 입력변수의 사용은 산출물의 정확도뿐만 아니라 연구의 질 향상에도 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 위성영상 기반의 SEBAL(Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land) 모형과 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 수문모형을 용담댐 유역($922.3km^2$)에 적용하여 증발산량을 산정하고 모형 간 공간 증발산량의 비교를 통해 각 모형의 적용성을 평가하는데 있다. 이를 위해 SEBAL모형의 입력자료로 Terra MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) Product 중 Normalized Distribution Vegetation Index(NDVI), Albedo 영상을 2012년부터 2013년까지 월단위로 구축하고, 일단위의 Land Surface Temperature(LST) 영상을 구축하였다. 지형자료로는 Digital Elevation Model(DEM)과 Land use를 구축하였으며 SEBAL 모형의 구동을 위한 위성영상 및 지형자료는 500 m의 공간해상도로 재구축하였다. SWAT 모형의 모의를 위해 기상 및 유량 자료를 2000년부터 2013년까지 일단위로 구축하였고, DEM, Land use, 토양도의 지형자료를 30 m의 공간해상도로 구축하였다. SWAT 모형의 유출 검보정 후 수위관측소 지점에서 평균 $R^2$를 산정한 결과 도치(0.80), 동향(0.72), 석정(0.64), 주천(0.80), 천천(0.80), 용담댐(0.72)로 높은 상관성을 나타냈으며, 유출 검보정 후 SWAT 모형의 증발산량 모의 결과를 바탕으로 SEBAL 모형과의 공간 증발산량을 비교하였다. 두 모형의 증발산량은 SEBAL 모형의 경우 지형에 따라 SWAT 모형은 토양 특성에 따라 분포하는 경향이 다르게 나타났다. SEBAL 모형은 주로 저지대에서 증발산량이 높게 산정되며 고지대로 갈수록 감소하여 증발산량이 지형의 고저차에 따라 분포하는 모습을 보였다. SWAT 모형은 토양 특성에 따라 증발산량이 분포하며 유역 내에서 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. 월별 총 증발산량은 SWAT 모형의 경우 7~8월에 약 90 mm/mon로 가장 높게 나타나고 1~2월은 0 mm/mon로 계절별 변화폭이 컸으나, SEBAL 모형의 경우 5~6월에 증발산량이 약 60 mm/mon로 가장 높게 나타났고 계절별 변화 폭이 SWAT 모형에 비해 적은 모습을 보였다. 이는 위성영상을 기반으로 하는 SEBAL 모형의 특성상 장마 기간에 해당하는 7~8월은 구름으로 인해 일사량이 적게 계산되고, 그 결과 5~6월에 비해 증발산량이 작게 산정되는 것으로 판단된다.
