본 연구는, 고창갯벌에 가을에 이식한 중국산 종패를 1년간 양식 후 이듬해 가을에 전량 채취하지 않으면 월동중인 2월부터 죽기 시작하여 봄철에는 전량 폐사한다는 현지 어업인의 애로사항을 토대로, 고창갯벌에서 중국산과 충남산 종패를 같은 어장에 이식하여 양식시험을 실시하여 종패 차이로 인한 양식생산성의 차이 유무를 진단하고, 차이가 있을 경우 적합한 양식관리 방안 도출을 위하여 2014년 4월부터 2015년 8월까지 수행하였다. 이식 중에 공기 중에서 약 5일의 운반과정을 거치는 중국산 종패는 이식 1개월 이내에 20% 이상의 폐사가 발생하여 초기 손실이 컸으나, 종패 산지에서 채취 후 다음날 시험어장에 입식한 충남산 종패는 이식초기에 약 7%의 폐사가 발생하였다. 2015년에는 2014년에 비해 여름철 강수량은 감소하고 6월 중순 이후 급격한 기온 상승 등으로 인해 중국산과 충청산 모두 폐사가 급증하는 결과를 보였다. 바지락의 성장면에서는 이식초기에 장기간 절식 및 공기 중 노출 등 많은 스트레스를 받은 중국산에 비해 짧은 이식 시간 및 환경적응에 상대적으로 유리한 충청산이 이식 1년차의 성장에서 우수한 결과를 보였다. 중국산 바지락의 비만도는 시험 1년차에는 6월에 최고치에 도달 후 7월에 급격한 감소를 보인 반면 2년차에는 5월에 최고치에 도달 후 6월부터 8월 사이에 지속적으로 감소하였다. 한편, 충남산의 비만도는 시험 1년차에는 5월에, 시험 2년차에는 4월에 각각 최고치에 도달 후 감소함으로써 바지락의 비만도에 가장 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 생식소 발달 및 산란시기가 중국산과 충청산에 약간의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 중국산은 대개 가을에 성패를 채취하지만 부득이 월동할 경우에는 이듬해 5월까지는 채취하는 것이 폐사에 의한 손실을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 판단된다. 한편, 고창 어업인들 사이에서는 충청산 바지락이 중국산에 비해 봄부터 가을까지 성장이나 비만도면에서 떨어진다는 의견이 지배적이었지만 본 연구에서는 산란 직후인 7월과 월동중인 12월부터 2월 사이를 제외한 나머지 기간에는 충청산이 전반적으로 우수하거나 비슷한 결과를 나타낸 점도 유의할 만하다. 본 연구는 고창갯벌의 동일지점에서 종패의 원산지 차이가 양식 생산성에 영향을 주는지를 구명하기 위하여 약 18개월간 수행되었으나 원산지가 다른 두 지역의 바지락이 양식기간이 경과하면서 새로운 환경에 충분히 적응하는 지를 밝히기 위해서는 치패 단계부터 성패단계까지 최소한 3년 이상의 시험기간이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 고해상도 ERA5 재분석자료 중 우리나라 지상 온도 자료의 신뢰성을 검증할 목적으로 종관기상관측소(ASOS) 관측자료와 비교를 수행하였다. 새롭게 생산되어 배포 중인 ERA5 재분석자료는 높은 시·공간적 해상도를 가져 여러 분야에 활용성이 매우 높다. 자료의 분석 기간은 ASOS 61개 관측소가 1999년 이후로 결측률이 매우 낮으며 시간평균 자료를 제공한다는 점을 고려하여 1999-2018년 기간으로 설정하였다. ERA5 격자 자료는 격자 내 90-m 수치표고모델(DEM) 분포로부터 내륙, 해안, 산악 지역에 해당하는 지형학적인 특성에 따라 분류하여 ASOS 지점 자료와 비교되었다. 분석 기간 전체에 대한 평균 지상 온도는 ASOS와 ERA5 모두 공간 분포의 패턴과 값은 큰 차이없이 유사하였다. ASOS와 ERA5의 산점도 비교를 통해 전체 기간, 특히 여름, 겨울 기간에 대해 계절 변동성을 가진다는 특성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 달별 두 자료 사이의 매시간 차이 확률밀도함수(PDF)의 시계열을 통해서도 확인되었다. 두 자료 사이의 차이를 통계지수인 NMB, RMSE를 계산하여 정량화시켰을 때, 각 값에서 지역적인 특성을 보였으나 모든 지수에서 큰 차이가 없다고 판단할 수 있었으며, 상관성을 보기 위해 R과 IOA를 통해 구한 값은 모두 0.99에 근접하였다. 특히 일평균 산출에 있어 1-시간-평균 값 24개를 이용한 일평균의 경우가 최고와 최저온도의 평균을 이용하는 일평균에 비해 오차가 작게 나타났고, 두 자료 사이의 상관성도 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 두 자료의 차이가 나타나는 원인으로 ERA5 격자 내 지형 효과가 가장 클 것으로 판단하여 수치표고모델을 활용하여 각 지역별 PDF를 이용해 첨도 및 왜도를 구하고, 이를 온도 차이 파워 스펙트럼의 1년 주기 변동 크기와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 양의 상관성을 가졌음을 확인하였다. 이는 지형 효과가 두 자료 차이의 원인이라고 설명하는 결과이다.

Circadian rhythm is entrained in the 24-hour time interval by periodic factors in the environment, known as zeitgeber. But most rotating work schedules are outside the range of the entrainment of the pacemaker timing the human circadian sleep - wake cycle. It has been postulated that physiological and emotional disturbances occur in most human functions when the circadian rhythm is disturbed. So application of circadian principles to the design of shift schedules can aid in maintaining the temporal integrity of the circadian system and thereby minimize for the shift worker any detrimental consequences of circadian disruption. This study was a quasi-experimental study to test the effect of shift intervals for the clinical nurse on the circadian rhythm. Twenty nurses newly employed in general units of two hospitals were selected as an experimental group and twelve college nursing students as a control group. Both groups were selected according to an established criteria using a purposive sampling technique. Ten subjects were assigned to a weekly shift group and another ten to a biweekly shift group engaged in a semi -continuous shift schedule(sunday off) with a backward direction, that is, morning -evening - night shift. The control group worked a morning shift for 42 days. Oral temperature rhythm, waking tim, sleep - wake cycle, fatigue, and mental performance were measured during the experimental period. The data collection period was from April 30, 1990 to June 10, 1990. MANOVA, paired t-test, ANOVA, and Student Newman Keuls method were used for statistical analysis. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Phase delay in the acrophase of temperature rhythm was shown according to the backward rotating shift. A complete adaptation to work on the night shift was achieved between the sixth and ninth day of the night shift. 2. There was no difference in either waking time or sleep- wake cycle according to the duration of the working day for every shift group. Significant difference was found in the waking time and the sleep -wake cycle for subjects on the morning, evening, and night shift in both of the shift groups(weekly shift group : λ＝0.121, p＜0.01, λ＝0.112, p＜0.01, biweekly shift group : λ＝0.116, p＜0.01, λ＝0.084, p＜0.01). 3. There was no difference in fatigue between the first working day and the last working day for the control group and for the biweekly shift group. In the weekly shift group, physical fatigue was significantly different for the first day and the sixth day of the night shift(t＝-2.28, p＜0.05). Physical fatigue and total fatigue on the first day of the night shift showed a significant difference among the control group, the weekly shift group, and the biweekly shift group(F＝5.79, p＜0.01, F＝4.56, p＜0.05). There was a significant difference between the shift groups and the control group(p＜0.05), Physical fatigue, neurosensory fatigue and total fatigue on the last day of the night shift showed a significant difference among the control group, the weekly shift group, and the biweekly shift group(F＝12.65, p＜0.01, F＝7.77, p＜0.01, F＝9.68, p＜0.01). There was a significant difference between the shift groups and the control group(p＜0.05). 4. No difference in mental performance was seen between the first day and the last day of work in each case. An arithmatic test on the first day of the night shift revealed a significant difference among the control group, the weekly shift group, and the biweekly shift group(F＝3.79, p＜0.05). There was a significant difference between the shift groups and the control group(p＜0.05) . The digital symbol substitution test and the arithmetic test on the last day of the night shift showed a significant difference among the control group, the weekly shift group, and the biweekly shift group(F＝3.68, p＜0.05, F＝5.55, p＜0.01), and both showed a significant difference between the shift groups and the control group(p＜0.05). Accordingly, this study showed that during night duty, the waking time, sleep- wake cycle, and fatigue increased and mental performance decreased compared with morning and evening duty. It was also found that the weekly shift group had a higher fatigue score on the sixth day of night duty as compared to the -first day, but the waking time, sleep- wake cycle, and mental performance revealed no difference for the duration of the night duty or between shift groups, and complete adaptation of temperature rhythm was achieved between the sixth and ninth day of night duty. It is possible to conclude from these results that for intermediate circadian type in a healthy young woman, a biweekly shift system is more compatible with the circadian timing system than weekly shift system.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogen-like environmental endocrine disrupter, on the placental function and reproduction in rats. The mRNA levels of the placental prolactin-growth hormone(PRL-GH) gene family, placental trophoblast cell frequency and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats ($160g{\pm}20g$) were detected by the presence of the copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which marked Day 0 of pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into three groups. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with a sesame oil vehicle. The two remaining groups were injected with 50 or 500 mg/kg B.W/day of BPA, resuspended in sesame oil, on either days 7 to 11 or 16 to 20 of pregnancy, with the rats sacrificed on either day 11 or 20, respectively. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The hormone concentrations were analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the frequency of the placental trophoblast cells observed by a histochemical study. Reproductive data, such as the placental weight and litter size, were surveyed on day 20. The fetal weight was surveyed for 4 weeks after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the PRL-GH gene family, such as placental lactogen I, Iv and II, prolactin like protein A, C and Cv, and decidual prolactin-related protein were significantly reduced due to BPA exposure. The mRNA levels of the Pit-1a and b isotype genes, which induce the expression of the PRL-GH gene family in the rat placenta, were also reduced due to BPA exposure. The PL-Iv and PL-II concentrations were reduced in the BPA exposed group. During the middle to last stage of pregnancy (Days 11-20), a high dose of BPA exposure reduced the frequency of spongiotrophoblast cells, which are responsible for the secretion of the PRL-GH hormones. Reproductive data, such as the placental and fetal weights and the litter size, were reduced, but that of the pregnancy period was extended in the BPA exposed compared to the control group. Conclusions : BPA disrupts the placental functions in rats, which leads to reproductive disorders.

지진에 대한 경각심이 높아지는 가운데 고속철도 시스템의 지진 취약성을 분석하는 것은 지진피해 사전대응분석을 위해 필수적이다. 고속철도를 이루는 구조물은 400km/s 정도까지 속도를 낼 수 있는 고속열차의 직진성을 유지하기 위해 주로 교량, 터널 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 구조물의 지진에 대한 취약도는 각 구조물의 단면을 분석하여 해석적 또는 수치적 방법으로 구할 수도 있으나, 고속철도 전체 시스템을 이러한 방법으로 분석하기에는 그 대상이 넓어 많은 연구 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이런 해석적 방법이 아닌 경험적 방법을 사용하여 고속철도 시스템 전체의 일반적인 지진 취약도 곡선을 개발하였다. 연구에 활용한 대상 지진 사례는 규모 6.6 2004년 니가타 지진으로, 이 지진은 진앙 인근 부근을 지나는 고속철도에 심각한 피해를 초래하였다. 본 연구에서는 고속철도에서의 계기진도 및 피해 사례를 수집하였고, 통계분석을 통해 각 피해 정도에 따른 피해 확률을 결정하였다. 그 후, 최대우도추정법을 사용하여 계기진도를 함수로 하는 초과피해 확률을 로그정규누적분포함수로 추정하였다. 이러한 취약도 곡선을 분석한 결과, 장주기 성분의 계기진도인 주기 3초의 응답스펙트럼(SA_T3.0)이 로그정규누적분포함수의 표준편차가 가장 작게 나타나고 오차의 표준편차 또한 작게 나타나 터널 및 교량 등 고속철도 시스템의 피해 확률을 추정하는데 가장 적합한 계기진도로 판단되었다. 이는 장주기 성분의 지진파가 터널 및 교량 등의 피해에 큰 연관성이 있기 때문으로 유추된다. 개발된 취약도 곡선으로부터 보통 이상(DL > 1)의 피해에 대해 SA_T3.0 = 0.1g일 때 2%의 피해확률을 예측하였으며, SA_T3.0 = 0.2g일 때 23.9%의 피해확률을 예측하였다.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of chromium (VI) on the placental function and reproduction in rats. For the study, the placental prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) gene expression, placental trophoblast cell differentiation and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats were checked by the presence of a copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which was defined as day 0 of the pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into the three groups. The control group was given tap water (chromium level < 0.001 ppm) and the remaining groups were given 250 or 750 ppm of chromium (VI) [as potassium dichromate], from day 7 to 19 of the pregnancy. Rats were sacrificed at days 11 and 20 of pregnancy. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The hormonal concentration was analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the differentiation of placental trophoblast cells were observed by histochemical studies. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, pregnancy period, and litter size, were surveyed at day 20 of pregnancy and after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) family of genes were dose dependently reduced by chromium exposure. The mRNA levels of Pit-1a and b isotype genes that induce the expression of the PRL-GH family of genes were also reduced by chromium exposure. The PRL-GH hormonal concentration in the rat placenta, fetus and maternal blood were decreased by chromium exposure. In the middle stage of pregnancy (day 11), a high dose of chromium suppressed the differentiation of spongiotrophoblast cells that secret the PRLGH hormones. In the last stage of pregnancy (day 20), a high dose of chromium induced apoptosis of placental cells. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, litter size, were reduced, but the pregnancy period was extended in the group exposed to chromium compared with the controls. Conclusion : Chromium (VI) disrupts the ordered functions of the placenta, which leads to reproductive disorders in rats.

Low-temperature drying systems have been extensively used for drying cereal grain such as shelled corn and wheat. Since the 1973 energy crisis, many researches have been conducted to apply solar energy as supplemental heat to natural air drying systems. However, little research on rough rice drying has been done in this area, especially very little in Korea. In designing a solar drying system, quality loss, airflow requirements, temperature rise of drying air, fan power and energy requirements should be throughly studied. The factors affecting solar drying systems are airflow rate, initial moisture content, the amount of heat added to drying air, fan operation method and the weather conditions. The major objectives of this study were to analyze the effects of the performance factors and determine design parameters such as airflow requirements, optimum bed depth, optimum temperature rise of drying air, fan operation method and collector size. Three hourly observations based on the 4-year weather data in Chuncheon area were used to simulate rough rice drying. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that the experimental and predicted values of the temperature rise of the air passing through the collector agreed well. 2. Equilibrium moisture content was affected a little by airflow rate, but affected mainly by the amount of heat added, to drying air. Equilibrium moisture content ranged from 12.2 to 13.2 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 10.4 to 11.7 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in range of 1. 6 to 5. 9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air. 3. Average moisture content when top layer was dried to 15 percent wet basis ranged from 13.1 to 13.9 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 11.9 to 13.4 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in the range of 1.6 to 5.9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air and 18 to 24 percent wet basis initial moisture content. The results indicated that grain was overdried with the intermittent fan operation in any range of temperature rise of drying air. Therefore, the continuous fan operation is usually more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering the overdrying. 4. For the continuous fan operation, the average temperature rise of drying air may be limited to 2.2 to 3. 3 degrees Centigrade considering safe storage moisture level of 13.5 to 14 perceut wet basis. 5. Required drying time decrease ranged from 40 to 50 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 3.9 to 4.3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on required drying time. 6. Required drying time increase ranged from 18 to 30 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content regardless of the fan operation methods, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 7. The intermittent fan operation showed about 36 to 42 percent decrease in required drying time as compared with the continuous fan operation. 8. Drymatter loss decrease ranged from 34 to 46 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 2 to 3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air, regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on drymatter loss. 9. Drymatter loss increase ranged from 50 to 78 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 10. The intermittent fan operation: showed about 40 to 50 percent increase in drymatter loss as compared with the continuous fan operation and the increasing rate was higher at high level of initial moisture and average temperature rise. 11. Year-to-year weather conditions had a little effect on required drying time and drymatter loss. 12. The equations for estimating time required to dry top layer to 16 and 1536 wet basis and drymatter loss were derived as functions of the performance factors. by the least square method. 13. Minimum airflow rates based on 0.5 percent drymatter loss were estimated. Minimum airflow rates for the intermittent fan operation were approximately 1.5 to 1.8 times as much as compared with the continuous fan operation, but a few differences among year-to-year. 14. Required fan horsepower and energy for the intermittent fan operation were 3. 7 and 1. 5 times respectively as much as compared with the continuous fan operation. 15. The continuous fan operation may be more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering overdrying, fan horsepower requirements, and energy use. 16. A method for estimating the required collection area of flat-plate solar collector using average temperature rise and airflow rate was presented.

2011년은 유엔(UN)이 지정한 '세계 산림의 해'이다. 최근 들어 산림은 환경, 경제, 사회, 문화 등 우리 사회 제 분야에서 그 가치와 기능이 점차 확대되고 있다. 특히 기후변화에 따른 지구환경문제가 국제적인 아젠다로 부각되면서, 산림은 지구온난화의 주범인 이산화탄소에 대한 유일한 흡수 원으로서 그 가치가 새롭게 조명되고 있다. 또한 산림은 생태관광자원의 주요한 구성요소의 하나로서 현재 생태관광객이 널리 이용하는 자원이기도 하다. 게다가 한국의 경우 국토의 60%이상을 차지하는 산림은 국민들한테 아주 좋은 생태환경을 제공함과 동시에 국민들의 생태관광지에 대한 환경보전의식도 제고를 가져왔다. 따라서 환경에 대한 관심이 급증하면서 보전가치가 우수한 산림생태지역을 방문하는 관광객이 매년 큰 폭으로 증가함과 동시에 정부에서도 많은 관심을 보이고 있다. 반면에 생태환경은 관광지를 개발하는 과정과 결과에서 부적절한 개발로 오히려 손상을 받게 되는 경우가 더 많으며, 생태관광객의 높은 환경의식과 엇갈려 실패를 보는 경우도 존재한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 생태관광객의 환경에 대한 관점이나 의식 등에 관한 연구가 미흡하여 지속가능한 생태관광개발에서 생태관광지와 관광객사이에 초점을 맞추지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 산림생태관광의 지속가능한 발전을 위하여 산림자원을 이용한 생태관광객과 그들의 환경의식을 정의하여 관광지에 대한 매력성, 만족 및 관광 후 태도에 어떠한 영향관계가 있는지 실증적으로 규명함으로서, 관광객의 입장에서 어떠한 생태관광지를 선호하는지를 파악하는데 그 중점을 두었다. 연구결과 산림생태관광객의 높은 자연보호의식은 관광지 매력성, 만족 및 관광 후 태도에 모두 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석되었고 환경오염의식은 관광지 매력성 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 해석되었다. 이에 따라 우리는 지속적인 생태관광지 개발과 생태관광 프로그램을 작성함에 있어서 관광객의 자연보호의식 전환 및 생태관광객의 심리적 반응을 중심으로 진행되어야 한다는 점을 시사한다.

본 연구는 수목원이 제공하는 물리적, 심리적인 서비스를 그 종류에 따라 이용객이 인식하는 효용가치를 화폐액으로 추산하여 그 크기를 비교해 보고자 수행되었다. 목적을 위한 분석의 도구는 각각의 변수에 따른 효용가치의 크기를 추산해 낼 수 있는 CE(Choice Experiments) 기법을 이용하였다. 개별서비스의 가치추정을 위한 프로파일의 작성은 SPSS 통계패키지의 직교설계를 이용하여 25개의 프로파일을 추출하여 각각의 프로파일이 중복되지 않도록 75쌍의 질문 항을 만들어 1인당 5세트씩, 3개의 문항을 질문하여 3,510개의 자료를 분석에 이용하였다. 연구의 결과, 현재의 수준을 기준으로 한 이용객의 지불의사액이 가장 큰 속성은 '현재보다 수목의 종류를 50% 더 다양하게'하는 속성이 7,956원의 추가적 지불의사를 나타내고 있다. 그리고 두 번째가 현재의 원로 디자인보다 매우 독특한 원로디자인의 가치가 6,025원으로 나타났으며, 수목원 관람 시 개인 안내원이 가이드를 해 주는 것이 단체로 안내해 주는 것보다 약 3배 정도 더 많은 추가비용을 지불할 의사가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 경남수목원의 이용객들이 가치를 높게 인식하는 것은 수목원 본래의 기능인 수목의 수집과 전시기능에 가장 높은 효용가치를 느끼고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 그 다음으로 다양하고 울창한 수목을 잘 관찰할 수 있는 독특한 원로의 디자인에 그 가치를 두고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 수목원 운영주체에서 알고자 하는 이용객의 특정한 효용의 가치를 비교 또는 측정해 보고자 할 경우, 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 수목원뿐만 아니라 타분야의 개별 환경재의 가치추정에 대한 기초자료의 제공을 위한 선행연구의 개념으로 제시되어질 것이다.
