  • This study aims to review the characteristics of specialized classrooms for governmental secondary schools in the Japanese Colonial Era by analyzing architectural drawings collected by National Archives of Korea. The results of this study are summarized as follows 1) Under the influence of Japanese science promotion of that time, specialized classrooms for science were considered as one of essential facilities. Typically exclusive specialized classrooms were assigned to two major science subjects : physics-chemistry and biology. 2) To science specialized classrooms, ancillary rooms for preparation, experiment equipment and specimen were attached and science lecture room with stepped floor was planned additionally only for the lecture on theories and the demonstration of experiment. 3) Specialized classrooms for science were zoned independently of other facilities because of the special equipments and safety. 4) Art rooms were common to both boys' and girls' schools but concerning music rooms, girls' schools had special concerns, whereas boys' schools did not. 5) Specialized classrooms for homemaking subject of girls' school were as much important as those for science subjects of boys' school. 6) Some early-established Korean boys' schools had handicraft rooms which were the symbol of vocational education-oriented, unequal policy on Koreans. Though not general cases, specialized classrooms for geography-history were planned for Japanese boys' school. Restricted to governmental secondary schools but considering the uncommon state of specialized classrooms of that time, these characteristics show conditions of early time when special classrooms were introduced into Korea.

  • The recent appearance and evolution of cloud service including IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS(Platform as a Service) and SaaS(Software as a Service) is potentially one of the major advances in information and communication technology. While a lot of studies are currently taking place in the technology itself, there is an equally urgent need for understanding and researching the business-related issues surrounding cloud service. As more and more individuals and companies use the cloud service, their concerns are beginning to grow about just how safe and reliable an environment it is. This paper focus on SaaS as an one of the important cloud service. For successful implementation of SaaS service, it is necessary to establish the certification systems to ensure safety and reliability of SaaS. This paper provides the safe and reliable framework for systematic SaaS certification systems. In order to develop it, the critical issues related to service quality and certification of SaaS service are identified and the systematic framework for certification systems of SaaS service and service provider domains are developed. An evaluation methodology for the developed certification systems is also proposed.

  • With the advent of high-speed railways, railways are one of the most frequently used means of transportation at home and abroad. In addition, in terms of environment, carbon dioxide emissions are lower and energy efficiency is higher than other transportation. As the interest in railways increases, the issue related to railway safety is one of the important concerns. Among them, visual abnormalities occur when various obstacles such as animals and people suddenly appear in front of the railroad. To prevent these accidents, detecting rail tracks is one of the areas that must basically be detected. Images can be collected through cameras installed on railways, and the method of detecting railway rails has a traditional method and a method using deep learning algorithm. The traditional method is difficult to detect accurately due to the various noise around the rail, and using the deep learning algorithm, it can detect accurately, and it combines the two algorithms to detect the exact rail. The proposed algorithm determines the accuracy of railway rail detection based on the data collected.

  • Living modified crops are genetically modified living organisms and are widely used in biotechnical research and desired goods. As the reliance on LM products, concerns about safety of LMOs have been continuously increased in South Korea. We established the detection methods for unintentional released LMOs in environmental conditions. To detect six LM event genes of 1 canola, 1 maize and 4 soybeans, PCR conditions were based upon consideration of the Joint Research Centre information. Genomic DNAs were isolated from LM samples and PCR analysis were performed using each event-specific primer pair. Event-specific genes of all events were efficiently recognized by our methods. To investigate the insertion site of LM genes in each genome, we verified PCR product sequence by DNA sequencing. These results suggest that the LM event-specific gene amplification can be efficiently developed. In addition, our detection method is fit for monitoring and post-management of LM crops in the environment.

  • Sodium chloride is known to contribute to the quality and safety of foods. However, there is an increasing interest in reducing the sodium content in foodstuffs, owing to health-related concerns related to its overconsumption. Therefore, the possible use of enzymatically hydrolyzed anchovy protein (eHAP) in enhancing the intensity of the salty taste in model broth was investigated in this study. The sodium chloride content of eHAP was 67.7 g/L. The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of the model broth increased with increasing eHAP concentration. Additionally, the perceived intensity of the salty taste of eHAP solutions increased with increasing amounts of eHAP at a given NaCl concentration in the model broth. The intensity of the salty taste was enhanced by 0.37-35.58% as eHAP was added. The results suggest that it may be possible to reduce the sodium chloride content in foods by enhancing the salty taste with eHAP.

  • A total of 219 polymerase chain reaction tests of genetically modified (GM) DNA sequences in soybean seeds and soybean sprouts were conducted during 2000-2001. No CM gene was found in 96 tests of soybean seeds. However, either a functional CP4EPSPS gene or the 355 promoter gene was found three times in 2000 and eight times in 2001, in between 0.01 and 0.17% of soybean spout products, in 123 tests. Since the amount of GM genes was much less than the threshold limit of 3%, none of the 11 positive soybean-sprout samples needed to be libeled GM crops. Of these, seven sprout samples were from domestic seeds and four were from seeds imported from China. To find the contamination route, the raw materials, seed surface, floor of the storage room, area around the selection machine, surface of the packaging film and corn powder used in the package were tested. The 35S promoter gene was detected in only two samples of the corn powder (0.1%). Although we could not find the cause of the GM contamination, the sprout package film is one possibility. In total,8.9% of the soybean sprout tests were GM positive, but the amounts were much less than the threshold of 3%. This means that there are frequent false-positives and these would threaten the sprout industry if GMO were decided qualitatively. Food companies should make their safety data available to the public and make an effort to address people's concerns about GM food more openly. In addition, there is a need to establish a quantitative test for GM genes in sampled water and a sampling method for raw materials.

  • This paper presents a hybrid network model(HY-PIPENET) implementing a minimum cost spanning tree(MCST) network algorithm to be able to determine optimum path and constrained derivative(CD) method to select optimum Pipe diameter. The HY-PIPENET has been validated with the published data of 6-node/7-pipe network. Networking system and also this system has been optimized with MCST-CD method. As a result, it was found that the gas can be sufficiently supplied at the lower pressure with the smaller diameters of pipe compared to the original system in 6-node/7-pipe network. Hence, the construction cost was reduced about $40\%$ in the optimized system. The hybrid networking model has been also applied to a complicated domestic gas pipeline network in metropolitan area, Korea. In this simulation, parametric study was peformed to understand the role of each individual parameter such as source pressure, flow rate, and pipe diameter on the optimized network. From the results of these simulations, we have proposed the optimized network as tree-type structure with optimum pipe diameter and source pressure in metropolitan area, Korea, however, this proposed system does not consider the environmental problems or safety concerns.

  • Copyright infringement and data piracy are pervasive problems of digital era and Electronic Navigational Charts(ENC) are not free from these issues. Aside from the economic impact, the unofficial distribution of nautical information has sign띠cant safeη concerns. Therefore, official distributors of nautical information have sought appropriate methods to protect their data and to provide the mariner with a certificate of authenticity through the adoption of security schema. However, a plethora of different security schema provided by independent distributors markedly complicates the software development of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) manufacturers and makes it more difficult to achieve the goal of seamless world-wide electronic navigational database easily accessible to the mariner. A fundamental concern of IHO is that adoption of a single, centrally administered security scheme for all ENCs could improve the ease of use of ENCs and enhance safety of navigation. IHO have driven protection scheme as S-63, S-63x. NORI(National Oceanographic Research Institute) necessarily need protection scheme and supporting system for nautical information. This paper presents protection scheme for NORI and proposes support system for ENC protection.

  • Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors were specifically developed to reduce the risks of gastrointestinal bleeding associated with other NSAID drugs. However, the APPROVe (Adenomatous Polyp Prevention on VIOXX) trials revealed that rofecoxib sometimes exerts prothrombotic effects. Meanwhile, cancer patients, who also carry a risk of thrombosis due to a variety of mechanisms, are often treated with COX-2 selective inhibitors, due to their relative gastrointestinal safety. This report concerns the case of a 46-year old woman with advanced cervical cancer, who had been treated with opioids and a COX-2 selective inhibitor (celecoxib) for 2 months, for the relief of pain associated with her cancer. The patient was admitted due to swelling of the left leg, which was also accompanied by pain. A computerized tomography scan revealed deep vein thrombosis occurring in multiple veins of both legs. After the administration of low-molecular weight heparin and oral warfarin, the patient's symptoms were relieved initially. However, her prothrombin time was found to be prolonged, necessitating the discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy. The patient's dyspnea worsened, ultimately resulting in her death. In conclusion, the administration of cox-2 selective inhibitors should be carefully considered in patients with a number of different risk factors, and assessed on a case-by-case basis.

  • This study concerns about the measurement and the investigation of environmental radiation characteristics which the components and the distribution of exposure rates by terrestrial y-rays in Taegu area. $4^{'}{\phi}{\times}4^{'}$ NaI(T1) scintillation detector with a multichannel analyzer was used in the measurement of y-rays as a part of in-situ spectrometry at twenty eight different locations in this area. The conversion into the exposure rate from the measured ${\gamma}-ray$ spectrum has been carried out leading to a net exposure rate and component ones by $^{40}K,\;^{238}U$ series and $^{232}Th$ series products which are known by the major parts in the terrestrial ${\gamma}-rays$ generally. As a result, the average exposure rate by the terrestrial ${\gamma}-rays$ in Taegu area is $9.4{\mu}R/h$ and the distribution of individual exposure rates shows more or less differences between these locations even after the consideration of diurnal and yearly variations which are always involved in these measurements. The component parts of exposure rates are distributed $^{40}K\;2.9{\sim}4.6{\mu}R/h,\;^{238}U$ series $1.2{\sim}3,\;1{\mu}R/h,\;^{232}Th$ series $2.5{\sim}5.0{\mu}R/h$ over the measured locations.
