Due to poor nutrition and abnormal energy metabolism, cancer patients typically experience the loss of muscle mass. Although the diabetic conditions or dyslipidemia have been reported as a causal link of cancer but the consequence of such conditions in relation to gain or loss of skeletal muscle mass in cancer patients has not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of lean body mass and systemic parameters related to lipid metabolism in non-diabetic cancer patients using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2008-2011. As results the level of serum total cholesterol (total-C) was negatively associated with both total lean body mass and appendicular lean body mass in cancer patients after adjustment for sex, physical activity, energy intake and comorbidity. The associations between consumption of dietary factors (energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat) and lean body mass were disappeared after adjusting comorbidities of cancer patients. Multivariate-adjusted linear regression analysis by quartiles of serum total-C showed that higher quartile group of total-C had significantly lower percent of lean body mass than reference group in cancer patients. The data indicate that serum lipid status can be the potential estimate of loss of skeletal muscle mass in cancer patients and be referenced in nutrition care of cancer patients under the onset of cachexia or parenteral/enteral nutrition. This data need to be confirmed with large pool of subjects and should be specified by stage of cancer or the site of cancer in future studies.

본연구는 재생에너지 중 육상풍력발전사업 및 육상태양광발전사업의 환경현황 및 환경적 가용입지를 분석하여 신재생에너지 보급이 자연환경의 보존과 상호 공존할 수 있는 추진 방향성을 제시하였다. 2019년 6월까지 협의가 이루어진 환경평가 자료를 바탕으로 신재생에너지 중 가장 활발하게 보급되고 있는 육상풍력 및 육상태양광에 대한 규모, 위치 및 특성을 분석하였다. 재생에너지사업 입지와 관련된 주요 제약사항 및 환경평가 단계에서 요구되는 고려사항들을 도출하고 지역별 가용 면적 분포를 분석하고 이에 근거하여 잠재용량을 추정하였다. 환경영향평가 대상 육상풍력발전사업 총 80건을 분석한 결과, 80개 중 63개(79%) 사업이 산지에 입지하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 환경평가가 이루어진 육상태양광발전사업은 총 7,363건에 이르고 있다. 환경적 규제요소를 모두 고려한 육상풍력에 대한 환경적 가용 면적은 2,440km²이며, 육상태양광의 경우 비우량농지 등을 대상으로 산정된 환경적 가용 입지면적은 2,877km²로 산출되었다. 이러한 환경적 가용입지의 지역적 분포 및 특성은 해당 지자체가 지역에서 재생에너지개발사업을 추진하는 데 있어 가장 기본적으로 파악하고 있어야 하는 현황 자료가 될 수 있다. 현재까지 계획된 발전사업의 규모 및 향후 예상되는 증가와 환경평가를 통해 나타나는 환경가치 보전 및 사회·경제적 수용성을 고려한다고 하더라도 현시점에서 재생에너지 발전사업을 위한 가용한 입지용량이 부족하지는 않을 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 도출되는 에너지원별 환경적 가용입지 자료와 같은 정량적이고 과학적인 결과를 토대로 지역별 자연환경 및 입지여건 등의 특성을 고려하여 재생에너지원별 보급 목표량(비율 및 잠재량)의 적정성을 검토할 필요가 있다. 태양광 및 풍력의 경우 해당 지역의 지형적, 환경적 특성을 고려하여 가장 잘 맞는 유형의 에너지원을 선택하는 것이 필요하다.

2005년 2월 교토의정서가 효력을 발휘하게 됨에 따라 우리나라는 세계 10위의 이산화탄소 배출국으로서 2013년 이후에는 감축의무를 지어야 할 실정이다. 특히 온실가스 배출량의 약 30%가 발전부문에 의한 것이므로 전환부문의 에너지 소비 저감은 매우 중요하다. 이에 정부는 온실가스 감축환경에 대응하기 위하여 "제1차 국가에너지기본계획"을 발표하여 원전설비를 2030년까지 최대 41%까지 확대하고, 신재생에너지보급률 또한 11%로 높이겠다는 목표를 내세웠다. 이에 근거하여 원자력과 신재생에너지발전설비를 확대하였을 경우 온실가스 저감 잠재량과 그 유효성을 LEAP(Long-range Energy Alternative Planing system)을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 2030년 기준으로 총 $CO_2$ 발생 저감률은 28.8% 였다. 또한 BAU 시나리오 발전량을 토대로 하였을 때 유연탄발전 $0.85\;kgCO_2/kWh$, LNG발전 $0.51\;kgCO_2/kWh$의 단위 발전량당 온실가스 배출량을 보였다. 따라서 기존설비를 대체할 시, 유연탄발전을 대체할 경우에 온실가스 저감 효과가 크다는 결론을 보였다.

Two ocean current power parks are suggested in the front and back of the Garyuk draining sluices of Saemankeum in Korea. They are characterized by installing a plurality of ocean current turbine generators which are arranged in five rows respectively in the land-side ocean current power park behind the Garyuk draining sluices and in the sea-side ocean current power park before the Garyuk draining sluices, generating electricity using the ocean current flowing through the Garyuk draining sluices in the ebbs and tides of Yellow sea. The potential energy of tidal difference of 2.611m at neap in Saemankeum can be converted into the kinetic energy of high speed ocean current via the Garyuk draining sluices which makes it possible to run the ocean current power parks on a large scale. The total facility capacity of two ocean current power parks that consist of 240 ocean current turbine generators with 4m diameter of turbine blades is about 134MW, and the expected total annual power output is about 586GWh.

The possibility of global noise reduction by the sound power control through selection of distribution and impedance of absorptive materials is discussed. It is necessary to investigate the relation between the global sound energy in the field and the total sound power radiated by sources. In the previous work,$^{(1.2)}$ the authors presented a useful design method to change boundary condition that can be useful to reduce noise in acoustically small enclosures. Changing boundary condition Is related to not only enclosure’s geometrical shape but also acoustical treatment on walls for example, attaching of impedance patches (ex: absorptive material). In many practical situations, we often meet situation to change acoustical treatment on walls. The possibility of total acoustic potential energy(globa1 noise) reduction by acoustic source power control is examined in an acoustically small cavity Using acoustic energy balance equation, the relation between global noise control performance and absorptive material’s arrangement/impedance is deduced. Numerical simulation is performed to interpret its physical meaning in terms of absorbent’s distribution and impedance.

We have calculated the reaction probability and the reaction cross-section of the $N(^4S)+O_2(X^3\sum_{g}^{-})\;\rightarrow\;NO(X^2\Pi)+O(^3P)$ reaction by the quasiclassical trajectory method with the 6th-order explicit symplectic algorithm, based on a new ground potential energy surface. The advantage of the 6th-order explicit symplectic algorithm, conserving both the total energy and the total angular momentum of the reaction system during the numerical integration of canonical equations, has firstly analyzed in this work, which make the calculation of the reaction probability more reliable. The variation of the reaction probability with the impact parameter and the influence of the relative translational energy on the reaction cross-section of the reaction have been discussed in detail. And the fact is found by the comparison that the reaction probability and the reaction cross-section of the reaction estimated in this work are more reasonable than the theoretical ones determined by Gilibert et al.

We developed an accurate and simple vibration model to calculate the natural frequencies and their corresponding vibration modes for multi-span beam bridges with non-uniform cross-sections. A closed set of characteristic functions of a single-span beam was used to construct the vibration modes of the multi-span bridges, which were considered single-span beams with multiple constraints. To simplify the boundary conditions, the restraints were converted into spring constraints. Then the functional of the total energy has the same form as the penalty method. Compared to the conventional penalty method, the penalty coefficients in the proposed approach can be calculated directly, which can avoid the iteration process and convergence problem. The natural frequencies and corresponding vibration modes were obtained via the minimum total potential energy principle. By using the symmetry of the eigenfunctions or structure, the matrix size can be further reduced, which increases the computational efficiency of the proposed model. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach were validated by the finite element method.

The physiological activities and amino acid compositions of dried lavers of Porphyra from the Jangheung, Seochen and Haenam coasts were determined. The ethanol extract of the Haenam dried laver exhibited the greatest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (56.1%), ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) value(86.5 mM) and total polyphenol content (3.51 ppm) of these dried laver products. In addition, there was a strong positive correlation between the antioxidative activity and total polyphenol content of the laver products, suggesting that polyphenol compounds contribute to the antioxidant capacity in the ethanol extract of dried laver. However, there was no difference among the extracts in terms of cell proliferation activity. Fourteen combined amino acids were identified in oligopeptides from the dried laver products. Of the three extracts, that of the Haenam dried laver contained the highest levels of both free and total amino acids including alanine, glutamic acid, taurine, phosphoserine, and aspartic acid.

Impact sensitivity, one of the most important screening factors for novel high energy density materials (HEDMs), was predicted by use of quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) based on the electrostatic potential (ESP) values calculated on the van der Waals molecular surface (MSEP). Among various 3D descriptors derived from MSEP, we utilized total and positive variance of MSEP, and devised a new QSPR equation by combining three other parameters. We employed 37 HEDMs bearing a benzene scaffold and nitro substituents, which were also utilized by Rice and Hare. All the molecular structures were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory and confirmed as minima by the frequency calculations. Our new QSPR equation provided a good result to predict the impact sensitivities of the molecules in the training set including zwitterionic molecules.
