The objective of this study was to develop and validate secondary models that can predict growth parameters of L. monocytogenes Scott A as a function of concentrations (0-3%) of a commercial potassium lactate (PL) and sodium diacetate (SDA) mixture, pH (5.5-7.0), and temperature (4-37DC). A total of 120 growth curves were fitted to the Baranyi primary model that directly estimates lag time (LT) and specific growth rate (SGR). The effects of the variables on L. monocytogenes Scott A growth kinetics were modeled by response surface analysis using quadratic and cubic polynomial models of the natural logarithm transformation of both LT and SGR. Model performance was evaluated with dependent data and independent data using the prediction bias ($B_f$) and accuracy factors ($A_f$) as well as the acceptable prediction zone method [percentage of relative errors (%RE)]. Comparison of predicted versus observed values of SGR indicated that the cubic model fits better than the quadratic model, particularly at 4 and $10^{\circ}C$. The $B_f$and $A_f$for independent SGR were 1.00 and 1.08 for the cubic model and 1.08 and 1.16 for the quadratic model, respectively. For cubic and quadratic models, the %REs for the independent SGR data were 92.6 and 85.7, respectively. Both quadratic and cubic polynomial models for SGR and LT provided acceptable predictions of L. monocytogenes Scott A growth in the matrix of conditions described in the present study. Model performance can be more accurately evaluated with $B_f$and $A_f$and % RE together.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop the optimal nursing fee for nurse-midwifery center (MC) in the national health insurance system. Methods: The three methodologies used to calculate the conversion factors for the MCs in the national health insurance include cost accounting method, sustainable growth rate (SGR) model, and index model. In this study, the macro-economic indicators and the national statistics were used to estimate the conversion factors for the MCs. Results: The optimal nursing fee for the MCs in 2011 was estimated to be an increase of 57.7% by cost accounting analysis, a decrease of 17.1% by SGR model, and a decrease of 16.1% by index model. The results from SGR model and index model could had been biased due to the upswing of medical spendings in the short-term period (2008~2009). A sensitivity analysis of pre-delivery subsidy program for OB & GYN hospitals and clinics showed that the program has substantially diminished the demand for the MC services. Conclusion: More reliable methodologies to estimate nursing fees precisely are required to prove the value of nurses' services and a government subsidy program for the MC services should be followed from a social perspective.

Objectives : This paper analysed the alternative methods of calculating conversion factor for oriental medicine in the National Health Insurance and estimated the conversion factor(reimbursing price level) of the oriental medical services, based on health insurance claims data and macro economic data. Methods : Comparing cost accounting method, SGR model, and index model to estimate conversion factor in the national health insurance, six empirical models were derived depending on the scope of revenue considered in financial indicators. Classifications of data and sources used in the analysis were identified as officially released by the government. Results and Conclusion : Cost accounting analysis and SGR model showed a two digit decrease in the physician fee schedule of oriental medical services in the national health insurance, while index model indicated a positive increase in the fee reimbursed. As expected, SGR model measured an overall trend of health expenditures rather than an individual financial status of medical institutions, and index model properly estimated the level of payments to oriental medical doctors. Upon a declining share of health expenditures on oriental medicine, a global budget system fixed to a flat rate of total budget could be an opportunity as well as a challenge.

최근 국내에서는 지반개량 재료로 무기질계 급결재와 초미립자 시멘트를 주원료로 하는 NDS(Natural and Durable Stabilizer)공법 등의 개발이 활발하게 연구되어 왔다. 하지만 기존의 연구에서는 NDS의 재령일별 강도발현 과정에 있어서의 화학적인 변화과정 및 강도발현의 원리를 설명해 주지는 못하고 있는 실정이었다. 따라서 무기질계 주입재의 대중화를 위해서는 경화과정의 메커니즘 규명이 확실하게 선행되어야 한다고 판단하였고, 일축압축시험, SEM분석, XRD분석을 재령일 별로 실시하여 각각의 결과값을 분석하였다. 또한 그 특징을 더욱 분명히 구별하기 위하여 물유리계 주입재의 대표적인 예인 SGR 또한 동일한 시험을 실시하여 비교대상으로 하였다. 시험결과 NDS의 강도발현 메커니즘을 일축압축강도-SEM-XRD의 유기적 상관성을 통해 도출할 수 있었고 그 성능의 우수함을 확인하였다.

This study compared the predictive models for the growth kinetics of Staphylococcus aureus in ham rice balls. In addition, a semi-quantitative risk assessment of S. aureus on ham rice balls was conducted using FDA-iRISK 4.0. The rice was rounded with chopped ham, which was mixed with mayonnaise (SHM), soy sauce (SHS), or gochujang (SHG), and was contaminated artificially with approximately $2.5{\log}\;CFU{\cdot}g^{-1}$ of S. aureus. The inoculated rice balls were then stored at $7^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, and $25^{\circ}C$, and the number of viable S. aureus was counted. The lag phases duration (LPD) and maximum specific growth rate (SGR) were calculated using a Baranyi model as a primary model. The growth parameters were analyzed using the polynomial equation as a function of temperature. The LPD values of S. aureus decreased with increasing temperature in SHS and SHG. On the other hand, those in SHM did not show any trend with increasing temperature. The SGR positively correlated with temperature. Equations for LPD and SGR were developed and validated using $R^2$ values, which ranged from 0.9929 to 0.9999. In addition, the total DALYs (disability adjusted life years) per year in the ham rice balls with soy sauce and gochujang was greater than mayonnaise. These results could be used to calculate the expected number of illnesses, and set the hazard management method taking the DALY value for public health into account.

본 연구에서는 MSG공법과 LW공법(또는 SGR공법)의 강도발현성, 침투성 등을 비교하여 사질지반, 실트질지반, 점토지반 등 대상지반에 대한 주입재료별(MSG-N, OPC)로 침투한계를 평가함으로서 대상지반별 최적 주입재 선정의 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 사용된 그라우트재에 대하여 물리화학적 특성을 분석하고 응결재와 경화재가 일정비율로 혼합된 호모겔 강도 및 밀크 페이스트 강도 시험을 실시하였다. 또한 대상토질별, 침투압력별, 복합지층에서의 주입재별, 대형토조를 이용한 침투성 실험을 실시하였다. 시험결과, 사질지반 및 실트질 사질지반에서 효과적인 그라우팅을 시공하기 위해서는 MSG공법 주입재와 같이 초미립자계 주입재를 적용하는 것이 필수적이라고 판단된다. 또한, 초미립자계 주입재를 사용하는 경우에 대하여 지반의 종류에 따른 적정한 주입압력을 제시하였으므로 설계 시공기술자들에게 약액주입 지침자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

We performed simultaneous observations of H2O and SiO masers toward VX Sgr using the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) and Source Frequency Phase Referencing (SFPR) method. The observations were carried out at 5 epochs from 2014 February to 2015 June. The relative locations of the SiO with respect to the H2O maser emission were determined at two epochs by SFPR for the first time. The H2O masers show well developed asymmetric outflow features which are spread up to ~300 mas in diameter. On the other hand, the SiO masers show a ring-like structure close to the central star with ~ 30 mas diameter. The SFPR observational results at two epochs (${\varphi}=0.83$ and 0.99) provide similar relative locations of H2O and SiO maser features. These superposed maps of H2O and SiO masers lead us to investigate the development of outflow motions from relatively spherical SiO maser regions close to central star to aspherical H2O maser regions according to optical phase of stellar pulsation together with the prediction of the position of central star.

좁은 면적을 단기간에 개량시킬 수 있는 장점이 있는 그라우팅 공법은 지반의 특성과 지하수위 등에 따라 주입 효과의 차이가 있다. 특히 투수성이 큰 지반에서는 시간 경과에 따라서 용탈현상이 발생하여 강도저하 및 차수 성능이 저하되어 품질에 문제가 생길 수 있다. 최근 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 초기강도 확보 및 용탈 방지와 동시에 균열 자기치유 특성을 가지는 SSG가 개발되었다. 이 연구에서는 두 가지 양생조건에 대해 SSG의 일축압축강도 시험을 수행하여 양생기간에 따른 일축압축 강도를 파악하였다. 또한 SSG와 기존의 LW 및 SGR의 일축압축강도와 비교하였다. 연구 결과, SSG가 상온 양생 및 저온 양생 모두에서 강도가 크게 측정되었으며, 초기 강도도 상대적으로 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Most faults are single-phase-to-ground fault in ungrounded system. The fault currents of single-phase-to-ground are much smaller than detection thresholds of measurement devices, so detecting single-phase-to-ground faults is difficult and important in ungrounded system. The protection coordination method using SGR(Selective Ground Relay) and OVGR(Overvoltage Ground Relay) is generally used in ungrounded system. But this method only detects fault line and it has the possibility of malfunction. This paper proposed to advanced protection coordination method in ungrounded system. The method just using zero-sequence current can detect fault line, fault phase, fault section at terminal device. The general protection method is used to back up protection. In the case study, the proposed method has been testified in demo system by Matlab/Simulink simulations.
