본 연구에서는 지역특성에 따른 우리나라의 여름철(6월-8월) 극한강수의 정량적 변화와 호우빈도의 변화특성을 파악하기 위하여 1973년부터 2009년까지 전국 59개 기상관측소 자료를 이용하여 지속시간별 강수량의 월별 최고치와 한계치(threshold)를 초과한 강수일수를 대상으로 Mann-Kendall 검정을 수행하였다. 또한 기상관측소의 지역적 특성에 따른 변화를 분석하기 위하여 고도, 위도, 경도, 유역, 내륙 및 해안, 도시화 정도 등에 따라 분류하여 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 지역특성에 따른 여름철 극한강수의 변화특성은 연강수량의 공간분포와 같이 지형의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 여름철 강수일수는 연강수일수의 감소추세와는 반대로 증가하는 것으로 나타나 여름철 강수집중현상이 심화되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 해안지역보다는 내륙지역이, 도시화 지역일수록 강수량의 증가와 강수일수의 증가현상이 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 유역별로는 한강 유역이 강수의 양과 빈도의 증가가 더욱 뚜렷한 것으로 나타났다.

Background: Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is an economically important viral disease primarily affecting broiler and breeder chickens. All 12 serotypes of fowl adenovirus (FAdV) can cause IBH. Objectives: To characterize FAdV isolates based on phylogenetic analysis, and to study the pathogenicity of FAdV-8b in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens following virus inoculation via oral and intramuscular (IM) routes. Methods: Suspected organ samples were subjected to virus isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for FAdV detection. Hexon gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were performed on FAdV-positive samples for serotype identification. One FAdV-8b isolate, UPM/FAdV/420/2017, was selected for fiber gene characterization and pathogenicity study and was inoculated in SPF chickens via oral and IM routes. Results: The hexon gene phylogenetic analysis revealed that all isolates belonged to FAdV-8b. The fiber gene-based phylogenetic analysis of isolate UPM/FAdV/420/2017 supported the grouping of that isolate into FAdV species E. Pathogenicity study revealed that, chickens infected with UPM/FAdV/420/2017 via the IM route had higher clinical score values, higher percent mortality, higher degree of the liver lesions, higher antibody response (p < 0.05), and higher virus shedding amounts (p < 0.05) than those infected via the oral route. The highest virus copy numbers were detected in liver and gizzard. Conclusions: FAdV-8b is the dominant FAdV serotype in Malaysia, and pathogenicity study of the FAdV-8b isolate UPM/FAdV/420/2017 indicated its ability to induce IBH in young SPF chickens when infected via oral or IM routes.

The necessity of this study is as follows. A decrease in the number of newborns, an increase in the youth unemployment rate, and a decrease in the employment rate are having a fatal impact on universities. To help increase the employment rate of universities, we intend to utilize Big Data of university public information. Big data refers to the process of collecting and analyzing data, and includes all business processes of finding data, reprocessing information in an easy-to-understand manner, and selling information to people and institutions. Big data technology can be divided into technologies for storing, refining, analyzing, and predicting big data. The purpose of this study is to find the vision and special department of a university with a high employment rate by using big data technology. As a result of the study, big data was collected from 227 universities on www.academyinfo.go.kr site, We selected 130 meaningful universities and selected 25 universities with high employment rates and 25 universities with low employment rates. In conclusion, the university with a high employment rate can first be said to have a student-centered vision and university specialization. The reason is that, for universities with a high employment rate, the vision was to foster talents and specialize, whereas for universities with a low employment rate, regional bases took precedence. Second, universities with a high employment rate have a high interest in specialized departments. This is because, as a result of checking the presence or absence of a characterization plan, universities with a high employment rate were twice as high (21/7). Third, universities with high employment rates promote social needs and characterization. This is because the characteristic departments of universities with high employment rates are in the order of future technology and nursing and health, while universities with low employment rates promoted school-centered specialization in future technology and culture, tourism and art. In summary, universities with high employment rates showed high interest in student-centered vision and development of special departments for social needs.

In the present study silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized using aqueous extract of Sargassum muticum. The aqueous extract (10%) treated with 1 mM silver nitrate solution resulted in the formation of AgNPs and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the formed AgNPs was recorded at 360 nm using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The molecules involved in the formation of AgNPs were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), surface morphology was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM micrograph clearly revealed the size of the AgNPs was in the range of 40-65 nm with spherical, hexagonal in shape and poly-dispersed nature, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) was used to determine the crystalline structure. High positive Zeta potential (36.5 mV) of formed AgNPs indicates the stability and XRD pattern revealed the crystal structure of the AgNPs by showing the Bragg's peaks corresponding to (111), (200), (311) and (222) planes of face-centered cubic crystal phase of silver. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited effective anticancerous activity (at doses 25 and $50{\mu}g/ml$ of AgNPs) against Breast cancer cell line (MCF7).

우리나라 가뭄의 지역적 특성은 수문학적으로 동질한 지역의 구분 결과에 따라 달라진다. 지역의 구분에는 가뭄에 영향을 미치는 다양한 변수들이 사용될 수 있다. 가뭄을 특징짓는 요소로서 지속기간, 심도, 이외의 통계적 특성들이 있으며, 이 변수들을 정보화하여 변수의 유형을 구분지어 모든 변수들을 요약된 정보로 활용하여 가뭄의 특성을 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 기상청 강우자료 75개 관측지점 중 30년 미만의 강우기록이 있는 17개의 지점을 제외한 58개 강우 관측 지점을 대상으로 가뭄지수(SPI)를 산정하여 가뭄사상의 특성을 정량화 과정으로 남한지역 가뭄특성을 분류하였다. SPSS를 활용한 다변량 분석기법인 주성분 분석(principal component analysis)을 통해 가뭄특성인자의 상관관계가 높은 변수들을 조합하여 그 변수들 중 가뭄정보를 가능한 많이 함축하고 있는 새로운 특성 변수를 만들어 내었으며, 선정된 변수들을 바탕으로 요인분석(factor analysis)의 직각회전 방식(Varimax)을 이용하여 변수들의 표준화를 통해 가뭄특성요인을 찾아내었다. 이를 통해 지역간 동질성을 파악하여 K-means기법을 적용하여 군집해석(clustering analysis)을 실시하였다.

A bile salt hydrolase (BSH) was purified from Lactobacillus plantarum CK 102 and its enzymatic properties were characterized. This enzyme was successfully purified using ion-exchange chromatography with Q-Excellose and hydrophobic interaction chromatography with Butyl-Excellose. The purified enzyme showed a single protein band of 37 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which was similar to the molecular weight of known BSHs. The amino acid sequence of GLGLPGDLSSMSR, determined by MALDI-TOF, was identical to that of BSH of L. plantarum WCFS1. Although this BSH hydrolyzed all of the six major human bile salts, glycine-conjugated bile acid was the best substrate, based on its specificity and $K_{m}$ value. Among the various substrates, the purified enzyme maximally hydrolyzed glycocholate with apparent $K_{m}$ and $V_{max}$ values of 0.5 mM and 94 nmol/min/mg, respectively. The optimal pH of the enzyme ranged from 5.8 to 6.3. This enzyme was strongly inhibited by thiol enzyme inhibitors such as iodoacetate and periodic acid.

ACE-Asia (Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment) in spring 2001 was a turning point to trigger international research interest on Asian dust (AD). This basically arose from the lack of research on AD, the important natural phenomenon to characterize the Northeast Asia. In contrast, health risk related to AD has been the primary concern in Korea. Although due in part to severe AD events of 2001~2002, research and mitigation measures on AD in Korea are typically based on the assumption that AD events are increasing in frequency and severity. However, contrary to the trend in Korea, the number of AD days and emission amounts of AD in China have decreased since 1980s. This paper reviews the impacts of AD on ambient air quality and variations in toxic substances during the AD event, reflecting the concern in Korea. While a great amount of dust particles flow into Korea during the AD event, a considerable amount of dust particles are locally generated as well. Since dust particles are mixed with toxic substances as they pass over polluted areas, the levels of toxic substances become lower in dust particles that do not pass over polluted areas. Broadening the research scope on AD is warranted to understand the AD as an important natural phenomenon, irrespective of its associated health risk.

Nine brand populations of Hanwoo cattle were characterized using 11 microsatellite DNA markers. The studied populations were: Ansung, Yangpyang, DaeGwanryeng, Palkongsangkangwoo, Hoengseong, Jangsu, Sumjinkang, Hadong, Nam-hae. The observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity, and polymorphism information content were calculated. Allele frequencies were calculated and used for the characterization of each brand population and to study their genetic relationships. Genetic distances were estimated using Nei's DA genetic distance and the resultant DA matrix was used in the construction of phylogenetic trees. The NJ tree showed that Ansung and Yangpyang, Sumjinkang and Jangsu, Namhae and Ha-Dong are closely related and are considered to have undergone genetic exchange within the same locale. This study will contribute to the local Hanwoo brand industry.

In recent localized heavy rainfalls have been arising from abnormal climate change. People are concerning about damages with increasing the frequency of flooding. Therefore, we need to understand river hydraulic characteristics and management to reduce damage from flooding. To study hydraulic characterization of Sincheon experimental catchment HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System) model which provided by U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was applied. This study analyzed and compared water level the frequency flood for 100 years and 200 years by clark unit Hydrography. The change of the water level of Daejeon bridge, Sincheon bridge and Singi bridge showed increased for all conditions. The flow rate for the Daejeon bridge and the Sincheon bridge showed an increase, but the Sinki bridge showed a decreasing flow rate overally, except for 1hour-100 years. The verification result showed that the model was able to simulate the water level with 0.4709 coefficient of determination and error ration ranging from 1 to 3%.
