  • The principal factor determining an optimum design method for cathodic protection is finding the protection current for preventing the corrosion of existing, already laid pipe. Some factors currently used to test designs include the sizes and lengths of pipes, soil resistivity, and the coating damage rate. We believe this method and current formulae are not optimum due to the uncertainty of determining the coating damage rate and the corrosion protection current's density. This paper analyzes the amount of protection current obtained by performing a temporary current test using data describing existing laid pipe. We then propose determining the corrosion protection current by using the temporary current test after modifying the formula. In addition, we suggest a way to choose optimized cathodic protection and the process of design by executing the design and taking account of such factors as a site condition of 34km-long non-protected water supply pipe lines (stages I and II) in ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ region, climate, interferences, and durability.

  • Background: Given that there are many Iranian women who have never had a Pap smear, this study was designed to develop and validate a measurement tool based on the Protection Motivation Theory to assess factors influencing the Iranian women's intention to perform first Pap testing. Materials and Methods: In this psychometric research, to determine the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), a panel of experts (n=10) reviewed scale items. Reliability was estimated through the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (n=30) and internal consistency (n=240). Also, factor analysis (exploratory and conformity) was performed on the data of the sample women who had never had a Pap smear test (n=240). Results: A 26-item questionnaire was developed. The CVI and CVR scores of the scale were 0.89 and 0.90, respectively. Exploratory factor analysis loaded a 26-item with seven factors questionnaire (perceived vulnerability and severity, fear, response costs, response efficacy, self-efficacy, and protection motivation (or intention)) that jointly accounted for 72.76% of the observed variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the data. Internal consistency (range 0.70-0.93) and test-retest reliability (range 0.72-0.96) of sub-scales were acceptable. Conclusions: This study showed that the designed instrument was a valid and reliable tool for measuring the factors influencing the women's intention to perform their first Pap testing.

  • Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus is a species of the widespread geminiviruses. The infection of Nicotiana benthamiana by Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) causes a reduction in photosynthetic activity, which is part of the viral symptoms. ${\beta}C1$ is a viral factor encoded by the betasatellite DNA ($DNA{\beta}$) accompanying TYLCCNV. It is a major viral pathogenicity factor of TYLCCNV. To elucidate the effect of ${\beta}C1$ on plants' photosynthesis, we measured the relative chlorophyll (Chl) content and Chl fluorescence in TY-LCCNV-infected and ${\beta}C1$ transgenic N. benthamiana plants. The results showed that Chl content is reduced in TYLCCNV A-infected, TYLCCNV A plus $DNA{\beta}$ (TYLCCNV A + ${\beta}$)-infected and ${\beta}C1$ transgenic plants. Further, changes in Chl fluorescence parameters, such as electron transport rate, $F_v/F_m$, NPQ, and qP, revealed that photosynthetic efficiency is compromised in the aforementioned N. benthamiana plants. The presense of ${\beta}C1$ aggravated the decrease of Chl content and photosynthetic efficiency during viral infection. Additionally, the real-time quantitative PCR analysis of oxygen evolving complex genes in photosystem II, such as PsbO, PsbP, PsbQ, and PsbR, showed a significant reduction of the relative expression of these genes at the late stage of TYLCCNV A + ${\beta}$ infection and at the vegetative stage of ${\beta}C1$ transgenic N. benthamiana plants. In summary, this study revealed the pathogenicity of TYLCCNV in photosynthesis and disclosed the effect of ${\beta}C1$ in exacerbating the damage in photosynthesis efficiency by TYLCCNV infection.

  • Korean Industrial Standards for lightning protection system complies with IEC standards. However, the standards are applicable only to buildings and structures more than 20 meters in high. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether lightning protection system should be installed on structures lower than 20 meters high. This paper proposes an efficient method of assessing risk against lightning of structures lower than 20 meters high. The method suggests simplified lightning protection system and provides selecting an appropriate protection level. The suggested method assumes that structure under assessment has no lightning protection system and there is no person around the structure at the moment of lightning stroke. A simplified method of assessing the risk to human within the structure is developed by adopting the general assessment factor. The selection of a protection level is possible by comparing tolerable risk with physical damage risk caused by a direct lightning. Finally, this paper gives ways to establish surge protection measures when a structure with lightning risk is within a radius of 2km from the assessed structure even if this structure requires no lightning protection system.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify the influencing factors that affect the radiation protection behavior of nurses, by applying the educational diagnostic stage of the PRECEDE Model. Methods: Participants were 167 nurses working in interventional procedure rooms and operating rooms in general hospitals and university hospitals in Korea. Data were collected from August 30 to September 25, 2019, through self-reporting questionnaires and analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: The influencing factor that affects nurses' radiation protection behavior was the radiation protection environment (β=.41, p<.001), accounting for 59.6% of the radiation protection behavior (F=17.34, p<.001). Conclusion: Administrative and financial efforts to create a safe organizational atmosphere and establish a safe radiation protection environment are needed. Moreover, it is necessary to develop guidelines for nursing work in radiology to improve radiation protection behavior and reduce nurses' radiation exposure.

  • Insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I)은 성장호르몬의 여러 가지 성정촉진 작용을 매개하는 분열 유발성 폴리펩티드이며, 조직의 수선과 재생, 창상치유 및 골대사와 같은 과정들에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있고, 비교적 여러 조직에서 발현되고 있는 IGF-I 유전자의 전사조절에 대한 정확한 분자적 기전과 호르몬 및 대사 상태가 그것을 어떻게 조절하는지 아직 밝혀져 있지 않다. 쥐를 절삭시키므로써 대사 상태를 변조시켰을 때, 간 조직내 IGF-I mRNA의 발현에 미치는 절식의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 solution hybridizatioon/RNase protection 방법으로 분석 하였다. IGF-I의 exon 1 및 exon 2에 의하여 encode된 tran-scripts 모두가 감소된 결과를 얻었고, 이러한 감소는 전사 수준에서 일어난 것으로 nuclear run-on 분석에 의하여 확인하였다. 또한 절식시킨 쥐에서 IGF-I mRNA의 양을 조절하는 cia-acting elements를 IGF-I 유전자의 5'-flanking 지역과 exon 1과 econ 2에서 밝히고자 절식시킨 쥐의 신선한 간조직에서 핵 추출물을 얻어 IGF-I의 여러 가지 DNA fragments와 반응시켜 DNase I protection 분석을 한 결과, IGF-I 유전자의 주요한 전사 개 시점으로부터 downstream에 있는 sequences가 절식으로 변조시킨 대사상태에서 IGF-I의 발현 조절에 중요하며 이곳에는 전사인자인 C/EBP family의 isoform들을 포함한 간조직에 풍부하게 존재하는 여러 전사인자들이 결합할 것으로 제안하였다.
