A new encrusting red alga was found growing abundantly on glass debris items that drifted ashore along the coasts of Oregon and Washington. These included discarded fluorescent tubes, incandescent light bulbs, capped liquor bottles, and ball-shaped fishing-net floats. Field collections and unialgal cultures of the alga revealed that it consisted of two morphological phases: a young loosely aggregated turf and a mature consolidated mucilaginous crust. The turf phase consisted of a basal layer of globose cells that produced erect, rarely branched, uniseriate to multiseriate filaments up to $500{\mu}m$ long with closely spaced cells lacking pit-plugs. These filaments expanded in size from their bases to their tips and released single cells as spores. At maturity, a second phase of growth occurred that produced a consolidated crust, up to $370{\mu}m$ thick. It consisted of a basal layer of small, tightly appressed ellipsoidal-to-elongate cells that generated a mucilaginous perithallial matrix containing a second type of filament with irregularly spaced cells often undergoing binary division. At the matrix surface, the original filaments continued to grow and release spores but often also eroded. Individual cells, examined using confocal microscopy and SYBR Green staining, were found to contain a central nucleus, a single highly lobed peripheral chloroplast without a pyrenoid, and numerous chloroplast nucleoids. Morphological data from field and culture isolates and molecular data (rbcL, psbA, and SSU) show that this alga is a new genus and species which we name Viator vitreocola, "a traveller on glass."

정상인에서 장내세균은 숙주의 면역이나 영양 흡수를 돕지만, 때로는 기회감염균으로서 그들을 위협하기도 한다. 그 중 절대 혐기성 세균인 Bacteroides fragilis는 분비되는 장독소(enterotoxin)인 Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT)의 유무에 따라 non-enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (NTBF)와 enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF)로 나뉜다. ETBF는 가축 및 사람에서 설사 질환 및 대장 질환을 유발한다 그러나 때때로 ETBF를 가지고 있으나 증상이 없는 사람도 존재한다. ETBF는 염증성 설사 질환, 여행자 설사 환자의 대변에서 검출되어 주목 받고 있다. 또한, 몇몇 연구를 통해 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)나 대장염 및 대장암 환자에서 ETBF가 증가한다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 일반 C57BL/6 마우스 및 germ-free 마우스, multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) 마우스, 토끼, Mongolian gerbil 등 여러 동물 모델에서 ETBF가 IBD나 대장염, 대장암을 유발 또는 촉진한다는 것이 발표되었다. ETBF의 유일한 병원성 인자인 BFT는 E-cadherin의 분절을 유도하여 장상피 세포의 투과성을 높인다. 이어서 ${\beta}$-catenin 신호전달계가 활성화하여 장상피세포의 증식이 증가한다. 또한 ETBF의 감염은 일반 마우스에서 급성이나 만성의 대장염을 일으키고 Min 마우스에서 종양 형성을 촉진한다. 이는 Stat3에 의존한 $T_H17$ 면역반응의 활성화를 통해 일어난다. 현재 ETBF의 검출 방법에는 크게 BFT toxin assay와 몇 가지 PCR 방법이 있다. 최근 real-time PCR과 같은 분자진단학적 기법의 발달로 일반적인 PCR보다 더 정확한 ETBF의 검출이 가능하게 되었다. 이것을 이용하여 앞으로 실제 임상에서 ETBF와 대장염 및 대장암의 발달 관계에 대한 심도 깊은 연구가 이뤄질 것으로 본다.

도로 이용자들은 도로의 불확실성을 고려해 통행계획 시 목적지에 일정한 시간 내에 도착하기 위해 추가 통행시간을 고려한다. 때문에 도로의 서비스 수준을 향상시키기 위해서는 기존의 소통측면 뿐만 아니라 변동성 측면의 정보의 제공을 통해 예측 가능한 도로를 만드는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 도로의 변동성을 계량적으로 나타내고 도로이용자가 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 통행시간 변동성 지표 개발이 필요하다. 최근 미국을 중심으로 교통 선진국에서 통행시간 변동성에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 현재 변동성을 계량화하기 위한 지표에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 기존 연구에서는 변동성 지표 산출시 95th통행시간을 가장 중요하게 고려하고 있다. 본 연구는 평상시와 기상요인시를 비교분석하여, 기존 통행시간 변동성 지표 산출시 가장 중요하게 고려되는 95th통행시간이 국내 교통 환경에서 통행시간 변동성을 대표할 수 있는 지표인지 검토였다. 교통수준별로 구분하여 분석한 결과 기상요인 발생시 교통 수준이 낮은 LOS A~D 구간에서는 80th통행시간, 90th통행시간, 95th통행시간 모두 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 그중 95th통행시간이 가장 민감하게 변하는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study was designed to identify, describe and classify orientations of cancer patient's family members to death and to identify factors related to their attitudes on death. Death to the male is understood as a comprehensive system and believed to be highly subjective experience. Therefore attitude on death is affected by personalities. As an attempt to measure the subjective meaning toward death, the unstructured Q-methodology was used. Korean Death Orientation Questonaire prepared by Kim was used. Item-reliability and Sorting-reliability were tested. Forty five cancer patients' family members hospitalized in one university medical center in Seoul were sampled. Sorting the 65 Q-itmes according to the level of personal agreement ; A forced normal distribution into the 11 levels, were carried out by the 45 P-samples. The demographic data and information related to death orientation of the P-sample was collected through face to face in depth interviews. Data was gathered from August 30 till September 22, 1995. The Z-scores of the Q-items were computed and principal component factor analysis was carried out by PC-QUANL Program. Three unique types of the death orientation were identified and labeled. Type I consists of twenty P-samples. Life and death was accepted as people's destiny, They firmly believed the existence of life after life. They kept aloof from death and their concern was facing the and of the life with dignity, They were in favor of organ donation. Type II consists of Nine P-Samples. They considered that death was the end of everything and did not believed the life after life. They were very concerned about the present life. Type III consists of Sixteen P-samples. They regarded the death as a natural phenomena. And they considered that the man is just a traveller and is bound to head for the next life which is believed to be free of agony, pain or darkness. They neither feared death nor its process. Their conserns were on the activities to prepare themselves for the eternal-life after death. Thus, it was concluded that there were three distinctiven type of attitudes on death among cancer patient family members, and their death attitudes were affected by demographic and socio-cultural factors such as sex, education, and religion.

과거 도시부 도로 교통흐름을 이해하고 운영관리하기 위해서 교차로 지체도, 간선도로 통행속도 등과 같은 다양한 교통공학 이론 지표들이 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 이론 및 지표들은 지능형교통체계 구축 이전 교통공학 연구측면 많은 제약이 있는 상태에서 개발되었다. 현재 ATIS 시스템이 존재하기 때문에 해당 자료를 활용하는 별도의 교통공학 기술의 소개가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 교통공학 분야에서 이미 사용하고 있는 지표인 '혼잡강도'를 활용하여 단속류(접근로, 교차로, 제어군, 간선도로 축)에도 적용 가능 여부를 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 도시부 도로 접근로, 교차로, 제어군, 간선도로 축 대상 교통신호운영 개선 효과 여부 진단 적용지표를 도출 및 제안하였다. 도출된 혼잡강도 지표 검증을 위하여 2가지의 검증작업을 수행하였다. (1)혼잡강도 임계값 분석 검증과 (2)혼잡강도를 이용한 교차로 개선 축단위 사전-사후 분석 검증을 수행하였다. 검증을 통해 과거 수동적이고 인력의 한계를 갖고 있는 기존 교통신호 운영 관리에서 탈피할 수 있도록 5분 단위 속도자료를 이용한 도시부 단속류에서의 혼잡강도 적용이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

Giardia lamblia is a pathogenic flagellate causing intestinal disorders such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and malabsorption of nutrients. Giardia is mainly infected by the ingestion of contaminated foods per os. Craun (1979) has recently reported that mass infection of this flagellate through the contaminated water supply systems is one of public health hazards. Also, so-called traveller's diarrhea is sometimes caused by Giardia infection (CDC, U.S.A., 1971). However, a few epidemiological studies figuring out the mode of infection or control measures of Giardia infection has been done so far in Korea. The present study was aimed to know the prevalence of Giardia infection in several Korean populations, detectability of this flagellate in water systems and the viability of the cysts against sewages and disinfectants applying to drinking water. In the present study, 388 stool specimens from orphanage children in Chun-joo, Chung-joo, On-yang and Chun-an areas and 538 stool specimens from inhabitants in Woo-do, In-chon, and Chun-joo were examined by formalin-ether concentration technique to detect out Giardia cysts. On the other hand, water samples from 14 sites of Han River and its tributaries were collected in May through July, 1984. Fifty liter of water sample in each sampling site was then filtered through water filtering system deviced by U.S. Environmental Proutection Agency and the sediments rinsed out from the thread rolls, a part of water filtering system, were examined to detect out the Giardia cysts. In order to observe the viability of Giardia cysts in the sewage samples, the cysts were treated in it at $4^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 through 28 days. For this purpose, the cysts were also exposed to various concentrations of disinfectants such as chlorine, iodine and ozone gas for proper time intervals. After treatment, the viability test of the Giardia cysts were carried out by method of Rice and Schaefer (1981) with minor modification. The results obtained in this study were as follows : 1) The detection rates of G lamblia cysts in the stool specimens were 18.3% in orphans and 4.3% in general examinees. 2) The prevalences of Giardia Infection were higher in the young age groups than in-adults. The highest positive rate was 18.4% in the age group less than 10. 3) Of 14 water specimens sampled from Han River system and its tributaries around the Seoul area, the Giardia cysts were detected from 4 samples, and no cyst was found in the water supply systems. 4) The cysts treated in the sewage survived for 28 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and for 13 days at $25^{\circ}C$. 5) The cysts were completely destroyed within 60 minutes by exposure to 8 mg/l of residual chlorine at 4g and within 30 minutes by exposure to the same concentration of chlorine at $25^{\circ}C$. 6) The cysts were all dead when exposed to 1 mg/1 of iodine for 60 minutes at $4^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$. 7) The cysts were destroyed after 10 minute exposure in 0.15 mg to 0.25mg of residual ozone gas per liter. Summarizing the above results, it is considered that Giardia infection is regarded as water-borne disease and the cysts are able to be controlled by the application with the disinfectants in the water supply systems.

This paper aims to analyse the preference for German farm tourism among the German population. For this reason, we conducted an empirical study in Germany during summer 2007 and we applieda structural equation model based on partial leasts quares(PLS) to analyse the data. In the following chapters we will introduce the literature review and our conceptual frame work. We will then outline the procedures we adopted and the results of the empirical analysis. In the final part so me conclusions will be presented and a discussion will follow in order to draw the future directions of our research. According to our hypotheses, the possibility that agri-tourism enters in the evoked set of an individual is higher: H1: The higher the information degree about it. H2: The lower the influence of the social stimuli. H3: The higher the physical exposure to it (experience). H4: The higher the wellness image of agri-tourism. H5: The higher the traditional image of agri-tourism. H6: The higher the exciting image of agri-tourism. H7: The higher the perceived value for money. Our further hypotheses affirm that the possibility that agri-tourism enters in the evoked set of an individual is higher: H8: The lower the perceived risk. H9: The higher the motive to enjoy a holiday in the nature. H10: The higher the motive to enjoy a sport holiday. H11: The lower the motive to have an organized holiday. H12: The lower the motive to have a holiday abroad. H13: The lower the motive of action and night life. H14: The higher the motive to spend a holiday with the family. H15: The lower the motive to spend a city holiday. Finally, our model has some socio-demographics data. As we mentioned before, German agri-tourism has traditionally been the travel destination of large-size families, with low-to-middle income. For that reason, our final hypothesises are the following: the possibility that agri-tourism enters in the evoked-set of an individual is higher: H16: The higher the number of family members. H17: The lower the family income. Since in this study we use a path model with a PLS approach, we are able to state some interrelations among the exogenous latent variables: H18: The motive of sport holiday has a positive influence towards nature motives. H19: The physical exposition to agri-tourism has a positive influence toward information. H20: The motive of family holiday has a negative influence toward the motive of action and night life. H21: Social stimuli have a positive influence towards individuals risk perceptions. H22: Social stimuli have negative influence towards experience. Data for this study were gathered via administrated questionnaires during the summer 2007 within the frame of an academic "marketing research" course. The corresponding t-values are assessed using the bootstrapping method with 500 re-samples. In our model 61% of the degree of appreciation of German agri-tourism (evoked set) is explained by five independent variables: value for money ($0.335^{{\ast}{\ast}{\ast}}$) (H7) experience ($0.267^{{\ast}{\ast}}$) (H3), exciting image ($0.204^{\ast}$) (H6) organisation ($-0.162^{\ast}$) (H11) and holiday abroad ($-0.156^{\ast}$) (H12). The variance explained ($R^2$) for the other endogenous variables are the following: nature 24.3%, information 14.1%, action holiday 13.8%, risk perception 5.8% and experience 2.4%. An overview can be inferred from table 5. The results also allow us to test each of the proposed hypotheses. With exception of organization and abroad, none of the others travel style factors (H9 to H15) seem to have any significant impact towards evoked set which leads to the rejection of the respective hypotheses. As expected, social stimuli have a significant influence on individuals' risk perception (H21 accepted), however neither the former nor the latter have a valuable impact on evoked set (rejection of H2 and H8). Besides, since the influence of social stimuli towards experience is not significant, also H22 has to be rejected. Experience influences information (H19 accepted) but the latter does not affect significantly the evoked set (H1 rejected). Both H4 as well as H5, referring respectively to the perceived images of German agri-tourism as a wellness destination and the traditional image of the German farm tourism have to be rejected. Finally, none of the demographic data included in the model explains significantly the variance of the factor evoked set. Therefore neither H16 nor H17 has been accepted. As far as the interrelation between sport and nature (H18) and family and action (H20) are concerned, the stated relationship among these variables has been statistically confirmed. Our path model based on partial least squares shows the factors influencing the preference for farm tourism in Germany. Among others value for money and experience are the most significant ones. Practical implications are discussed.
