Experiments on thermoregulatory responses to cold immersion stimulus were carried out in September, 1968 (summer studies) and February, 1969 (winter studies). Eight each of ama and control subject were selected at random from a same community in Yong-Do Island, Pusan. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) The rate of fall in muscle temperature of forearm during a 30 min-immersion in $6^{\circ}C$ water bath was significantly slower in the ama in winter and was about the same in the two groups in summer. However, the magnitude of change in the skin temperature and the heat fluxes observed during immersion period was not significantly different either between groups or between seasons. 2) Both finger blood flow and skin temperature during one hr-immersion in $6^{\circ}C$ water bath decreased significantly in the ama as compared to the control. The magnitude of cold-induced vasodilatation during immersion period was significantly greater in the control in winter. However, the time of onset and blood flow at onset showed no significant relation between groups. 3) The magnitude of reactive hyperemia after a 5 min-arterial occlusion in both air and $15^{\circ}C$ water bath was significantly lower in the ana than in the control. In control subjects, post-occluded blood flow in water was significantly greater than in air, while in the ama it decreased to 1/2 of control values. The time required for the return of blood flow to resting values in the air was faster in the ama than in the control but was the same in water in the two groups. 4) The results suggest that vasoconstrictor tone increased in the ama in winter, indicating the development of vascular adaptation as a part of cold acclimatization.

본 연구는 빗물 저장조 시스템의 유출량 변화모의를 통해 지붕면 유출제어의 가능성을 확인하고, 설계조건에 적절한 저장조(retention tank)-펌프 용량 조합의 결정방안을 제시하였다. 저장조의 운전조건을 고려한 물수지 방정식을 이용해 서울지역의 강우특성에 따른 저류량 및 첨두유출유량 변화를 모의하고, 그 결과를 강우재현기간별 저장조 용량-첨두 유출량-펌프 배수량 관계곡선 (TPP 곡선) 으로 작성하였다. 100년 빈도 첨두 유출을 지선 하수관로의 설계기준인 5년 빈도 첨두유출까지 제어할 경우, 지붕면적 $100m^2$ 당 펌프배수 용량은 $0{\sim}25{\ell}$/분, 저장조 용량은 $8.5{\sim}10m^3$으로 결정되었다. 즉, 서울지역의 지붕면적 $100m^2$ 당 적절한 저장조+펌프 용량조합은 $10m^3+0{\ell}$/분${\sim}8.5m^3+25{\ell}$/분이라고 할 수 있다. TPP 곡선을 이용하여 설계조건에 적절한 빗물 저장조-펌프의 용량조합 방안을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 이용해 현장여건에 고려한 구체적인 용량을 결정할 수 있을 것이다.

This study is to evaluate the applicability of SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model for multi-purpose dams and multi-function weirs operation in Namhan river basin ($12,577km^2$) of South Korea. The SWAT was calibrated (2005 ~ 2009) and validated (2010 ~ 2014) considering of 4 multi-purpose dams and 3 multi-function weirs using daily observed dam inflow and storage, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and groundwater level data. Firstly, the dam inflow was calibrated by the five steps; (step 1) the physical rate between total runoff and evapotranspiration was controlled by ESCO, (step 2) the peak runoff was calibrated by CN, OV_N, and CH_N, (step 3) the baseflow was calibrated by GW_DELAY, (step 4) the recession curve of baseflow was calibrated by ALPHA_BF, (step 5) the flux between lateral flow and return flow was controlled by SOL_AWC and SOL_K, and (step 6) the flux between reevaporation and return flow was controlled by REVAPMN and GW_REVAP. Secondly, for the storage water level calibration, the SWAT emergency and principle spillway were applied for water level from design flood level to restricted water level for dam and from maximum to management water level for weir respectively. Finally, the parameters for evapotranspiration (ESCO), soil water (SOL_AWC) and groundwater level fluctuation (GWQMN, ALPHA_BF) were repeatedly adjusted by trial error method. For the dam inflow, the determination coefficient $R^2$ was above 0.80. The average Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) was from 0.59 to 0.88 and the RMSE was from 3.3 mm/day to 8.6 mm/day respectively. For the water balance performance, the PBIAS was between 9.4 and 21.4 %. For the dam storage volume, the $R^2$ was above 0.63 and the PBIAS was between 6.3 and 13.5 % respectively. The average $R^2$ for evapotranspiration and soil moisture at CM (Cheongmicheon) site was 0.72 and 0.78, and the average $R^2$ for groundwater level was 0.59 and 0.60 at 2 YP (Yangpyeong) sites.

목재수확작업의 경제성을 분석하기 위한 방법은 기계비용법(machine rate method)과 현금흐름법(cash-flow method: CFM)으로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CFM을 이용하여 낙엽송 임분에서 HAM300 전간집재작업의 경제적 타당성 분석을 실시하였다. 즉, 연간 작업일수(50, 100, 150, 200일/년)와 작업 생산성 변화(효율성 40% 개선 효과)에 대하여 집재작업의 경제적 타당성을 평가하고자 하였다. 분석방법으로는 순현재가치법(net present value: NPV)과 자본회수기간법(pay-back period)을 이용하였다. 연간 작업일수가 150일 이상인 조건에서 NPV의 값이 0보다 크기 때문에 경제적 타당성이 충분한 것으로 나타났으며, 이 때 자본회수기간은 3.65년 이하로 분석되었다. 작업생산성(㎥/scheduled machine hour)이 40% 증가하는 시나리오에서는 연간 작업일수가 100일인 조건에서도 현금흐름이 안정적이며, 경제적 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 연간 작업일수가 50일 이하인 경우에는 집재작업의 수익성이 악화되어 투자에 대한 의사결정이 어려운 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로, HAM300 집재작업은 수익성이 있는 작업조건(연간작업일수: 100일 이상, 연간작업량: 5,000 ㎥)이 지속적으로 확보가 가능하다고 판단되는 작업조건에서 투자에 대한 결정이 이루어져야 한다.

Currently numerous methods are in use for myocardial protection from the ravages of ischemia and hypoxia. This study was designed to compare with FDP-GIK[Group II, n=8] and GIK cardioplegic solution[Group I, n=8] in ability of myocardial protection and was examined in the isolated working rat heart subjected to long period[120 min] of hypothermic[10 - 15K] ischemic arrest with multidose[every 30 min] cardioplegic infusion. During postischemic reperfusion period 20 min, hemodynamic functions[aortic flow, coronary flow, peak aortic pressure, cardiac output, heart rate], biochemical enzymatic & electrical activities were evaluated. The time from onset of reperfusion to the return of regular sinus rhythm was significantly reduced from 87$\pm$3 sec to 17$\pm$2 sec[P<0.05]. The postischemic recovery of aortic flow was better in the group II [95.1$\pm$3.3% of its preischemic control level] than in the Group I [75.4$\pm$6.8%] [P<0.05]. Cardiac output and stroke volume was also better in the group[91.3$\pm$1.6%, 89.4$\pm$2.6%, respectively] than in the Group I [79.1$\pm$3.7%, 77.0$\pm$4.8%, respectively] [P<0. 05]. Creatine kinase leakage was also significantly reduced from 33.8$\pm$4.9 IU /10 min / gm * dry weight to 15.4$\pm$3.6 IU /10 min /gm * dry weight[P<0.05]. It is suggested that adding FDP to GIK cardioplegic solution improves its ability to protect the heart against long period of hypoxic ischemia.

Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a key treatment method used with patients in cardiac arrest who do not respond to medical treatment. A critical step in initiating therapy is the insertion of ECMO cannulas. Peripheral ECMO cannulation methods have been preferred for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: Patients who underwent ECPR at Daegu Catholic University Medical Center between January 2017 and May 2023 were included in this study. We analyzed the impact of 2 different peripheral cannulation strategies (surgical cutdown vs. percutaneous cannulation) on various factors, including survival rate. Results: Among the 99 patients included in this study, 66 underwent surgical cutdown, and 33 underwent percutaneous insertion. The survival to discharge rates were 36.4% for the surgical cutdown group and 30.3% for the percutaneous group (p=0.708). The ECMO insertion times were 21.3 minutes for the surgical cutdown group and 10.3 minutes for the percutaneous group (p<0.001). The factors associated with overall mortality included a shorter low-flow time (hazard ratio [HR], 1.045; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.019-1.071; p=0.001) and whether return of spontaneous circulation was achieved (HR, 0.317; 95% CI, 0.127-0.787; p=0.013). Low-flow time was defined as the time from the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the completion of ECMO cannula insertion. Conclusion: No statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality was observed between the surgical and percutaneous groups. However, regardless of the chosen cannulation strategy, reducing ECMO cannulation time was beneficial, as a shorter low-flow time was associated with significant benefits in terms of survival.

A new method of numerical simulating prediction and decontamination effect evaluation for abrasive jet decontamination to radioactively contaminated metal is proposed. Based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics and Discrete Element Model (CFD-DEM) coupled simulation model, the motion patterns and distribution of abrasives can be predicted, and the decontamination effect can be evaluated by image processing and recognition technology. The impact of three key parameters (impact distance, inlet pressure, abrasive mass flow rate) on the decontamination effect is revealed. Moreover, here are experiments of reliability verification to decontamination effect and numerical simulation methods that has been conducted. The results show that: ⁶⁰Co and other homogeneous solid solution radioactive pollutants can be removed by abrasive jet, and the average removal rate of Co exceeds 80%. It is reliable for the proposed numerical simulation and evaluation method because of the well goodness of fit between predicted value and actual values: The predicted values and actual values of the abrasive distribution diameter are Ф57 and Ф55; the total coverage rate is 26.42% and 23.50%; the average impact velocity is 81.73 m/s and 78.00 m/s. Further analysis shows that the impact distance has a significant impact on the distribution of abrasive particles on the target surface, the coverage rate of the core area increases at first, and then decreases with the increase of the impact distance of the nozzle, which reach a maximum of 14.44% at 300 mm. It is recommended to set the impact distance around 300 mm, because at this time the core area coverage of the abrasive is the largest and the impact velocity is stable at the highest speed of 81.94 m/s. The impact of the nozzle inlet pressure on the decontamination effect mainly affects the impact kinetic energy of the abrasive and has little impact on the distribution. The greater the inlet pressure, the greater the impact kinetic energy, and the stronger the decontamination ability of the abrasive. But in return, the energy consumption is higher, too. For the decontamination of radioactively contaminated metals, it is recommended to set the inlet pressure of the nozzle at around 0.6 MPa. Because most of the Co elements can be removed under this pressure. Increasing the mass and flow of abrasives appropriately can enhance the decontamination effectiveness. The total mass of abrasives per unit decontamination area is suggested to be 50 g because the core area coverage rate of the abrasive is relatively large under this condition; and the nozzle wear extent is acceptable.

This study was conducted on financial data of 38 economic groups listed on Vietnam's stock market for the period 2009 - 2019 and it aims to provide an empirical evidence on the impact of working capital management policy on performance in all phases of the economic cycle of Vietnamese economic groups. The study uses FGLS estimation method with 2 dependent variables ROA, GOP, independent variables including INV, AR, AP, CCC, dummy variable representing different phases of the economic cycle, variables Control includes CAT, CR, LEV, SZ, GR. Research shows that the greater the level of investment by companies in liquid assets corresponding to a certain level of activity (shown by average days of inventory (INV), average days of collection. (AR), cash flow cycle (CCC)) the lower the rate of return on assets. The study also provides additional evidence of the negative effects of economic crisis on the performance of economic groups. The study also shows that the number of short-term asset cycles has a positive impact on operational efficiency, and the level of debt use has a negative impact on operational efficiency. This result implies that the managers of economic groups can increase the efficiency of businesses through a reasonable working capital policy.
