Water quality modelling is an ideal tool of simulating physical, chemical and biological changes occurring in water systems. It has been utilized in a number of GIS-based water quality management and analysis applications. However, there is a need of a decision making process to translate the modelling result into an understandable form thereby implement the modelling results to the real world. This paper outlines a new water quality index called the QUAL2E's water quality index (QWQI) based on the water quality modelling using QUAL2E. The development mainly includes four steps: variable selection, sub-index development, weight assignment and sub-index aggregation. An experiment of applying the index and GIS to the Sapgyo River in Korea was implemented. Different from other water quality indices for general water uses, the index is specifically used for the simulated water quality indicators. The index can provide a simple and easy-to-understand decision support. Furthermore, interfacing with GIS, the decision analysis can be performed within a spatial environment. However, more study needs to be made in the future including the improvement of aggregation function.

Categorical range aggregation, which is conceptually equivalent to running a range aggregation query separately on multiple datasets, returns the query result on each dataset. The challenge is when the number of dataset is as large as hundreds or thousands, it takes a lot of computation time and I/O. In previous work, only a single dimension of the range restriction has been solved, and in practice, more applications are being used to calculate multiple range restriction statistics. We proposed MCRI-Tree, an index structure designed to solve multi-dimensional categorical range aggregation queries, which can utilize main memory to maximize the efficiency of CRA queries. Specifically, the MCRI-Tree answers any query in $O(nk^{n-1})$ I/Os (where n is the number of dimensions, and k denotes the maximum number of pages covered in one dimension among all the n dimensions during a query). The practical efficiency of our technique is demonstrated with extensive experiments.

공간 데이터 웨어하우스는 SOLAP(Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing)을 이용하여 의사 결정에 필요한 분석 정보를 제공한다. SOLAP은 대용량 데이터를 분석하기 때문에 사전집계를 이용하여 분석비용을 줄이기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 기존 기법들은 고정크기노드를 갖는 색인을 이용하여 개념계층을 지원하였다. 따라서 산개분포 영역에는 빈 공간이 많이 발생하며, 밀집분포 영역에는 개념계층을 지원할 수 없다. 본 논문은 공간 데이터의 개념계층기반으로 사전집계 색인의 동적 구성 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 트리구조를 이용하여 개념계층의 레벨을 트리의 레벨과 같도록 지원한다. 하나의 노드는 데이터가 적을 경우 엔트리를 분할하여 서로 다른 부모 엔트리를 가질 수 있으며, 데이터가 많을 경우 노드의 연결리스트를 이용하여 같은 레벨에 순차적으로 저장한다. 따라서 데이터가 산개된 분포의 노드에 대해서 저장 공간의 낭비를 최소화하며, 데이터가 밀집한 영역의 노드에 대해서도 노드의 연결리스트로 노드가 분할되지 않으므로 개념계층을 지원할 수 있다. 성능평가를 통하여 색인 구축 시간이 다른 기법과 비슷하고, 색인의 저장 공간이 감소하며, 집계정보의 검색 성능이 다른 기법에 비해 우수한 것을 보인다.

객체지향 지리정보 데이타베이스 시스템의 설계시 중요한 고려 사항은 저장된 데이타에 대한 좋은 접근 전략을 갖도록 하는 것이다. 객체지향 시스템에서는 이러한 목적으로 여러가지 색인 기법이 개발되었으나, 이러한 기법들은 객체지향 데이타 모델의 집단화 계층이나 상속 계층 중 어느 한 가지만을 고려하는 경우가 대부분이었다. 본 연구에서는 포인터 체인 디렉토리를 이용하여 객체지향 지리 데이터베이스의 집단화 및 상속 계층을 접근하는 데 효율적인 색인 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법의 효용성을 기존의 색인 기법들과 다양하게 비교하였으며, 저장비용과 검색비용 측면에서 그 성능을 시뮬레이션한 결과를 제시하였다.

Numerous restraints and simplifications have been developed for methods that anticipate protein structure to reduce the colossal magnitude of possible conformational states. In this study, we investigated if globularity is a general characteristic of proteins and whether they can be applied as a valid constraint in protein structure simulations with approximated measurements (Gb-index). Unexpectedly, most of the proteins showed strong structural globularity (i.e., mode of approximately 76% similarity to the perfect globe) with only a few percent of proteins being outliers. Small proteins tended to be significantly non-globular ($R^2$=0.79) and the minimum Gb-index showed a logarithmic increase with the increase in protein size ($R^2$=0.62), strongly implying that the non-globular characteristics might be more acceptable for smaller proteins than larger ones. The strong perfect globe-like character and the relationship between small size and the loss of globular structure of a protein may imply that living organisms have mechanisms to aid folding into the globular structure to reduce irreversible aggregation. This also implies the possible mechanisms of diseases caused by protein aggregation, including some forms of trinucleotide repeat expansion-mediated diseases.

In the atherosclerotic subjects, arterial endothelial cell injury and plaque formation are suspected to be strong causable factors in developing acute coronary syndrome, and it was revealed that platelets have a very important role in this case. Women are exposed to atherosclerosis at a different degree after menopause or oral contraception. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of endogenous and exogenous estrogen on the degree of platelet aggregation in platelet rich plasma(PRP) in twenty nonsmoking healthy Korean women for 12 weeks. The subjects were assigned to three groups: (1) eight women aged 49 to 60(yr) for the postmenopausel(Pst) group, (2) eight, aged 22 to 30(yr) for the premenopausa(Pre) group, (3) four, aged 23 to 30(yr) for the oral contraceptive (OC) group which used triphasic OC formulation. Fasting blood sample were obtained from the subjects, (1) once per 6 weeks in the Pst group, (2) every phase of the menstrual cycle in the Pre group, (3) each once during and after OC administration in the OC group. ADP, collagen and epinephrine were used as aggregating reagents, and platelet aggregation and time(Δt: time reaching to the maximum point of aggregation) in PRP were measured at the maximum point of aggregation in five minutes. All the data were adjusted for dietary effects, personality type and body mass index(BMI) by using analysis of covariation(ANCOVA). Platelet aggregation to ADP and collagen(MADP and MCOLL) were not significantly different among the three groups, and Δt to ADP and collagen(TADP and TCOLL) were not either. But maximum platelet aggregability and Δt to epinephrine(MEPIN and TEPIN) were significantly different among the three groups, and the OC group showed the lowest value (p<0.01). Maxtimum platelet aggregability and Δt during the menstrual cycle were not significantly different in the Pre group. Any other significant differences in the maximum platelet aggregability and Δt were found between oral contraception phase and washing out phase(menstruation) in the OC group. In results, maximum platelet aggregability and aggregation time to ADP and collagen seemed not to be affected by endogenous and exogenous estrogen, even though MEPIN and TEPIN showed significantly low in the OC group among the three groups.

Kang et al. (1999) computed a composite environmental index in Korea by practicing the survey for environmental experts. They used the weighted sum form among feasible aggregation forms. In this study, we carry out the survey for both experts and non-experts to see the degree of differences of the weights for nine types of environmental problems between two groups. In addition, we apply different aggregation forms such as linear sum, weighted sum, root-sum-power, root-mean-square forms and compare these four outcomes. We found no significant discrepancy in the trends of composite indices. In case we rely on the weights provided by the experts, the composite index, on average, has been increased annually by about 7.2% over the 1986~1997 period, which informs us that overall environmental quality in 1997 has been worse than in 1986 by about 1.8 times.

Background: Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) can induce alterations in blood viscoelasticity and cause red blood cell (RBC) aggregation. In this study, the authors evaluated the effects of pump flow pulsatility on blood viscoelasticity and RBC aggregation. Methods: Mongrel dogs were randomly assigned to two groups: a nonpulsatile pump group (n=6) or a pulsatile pump group (n=6). After ECC was started at a pump flow rate of 80 mL/kg/min, cardiac fibrillation was induced. Blood sampling was performed before and at 1, 2, and 3 hours after ECC commencement. To eliminate bias induced by hematocrit and plasma, all blood samples were adjusted to a hematocrit of 45% using baseline plasma. Blood viscoelasticity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, arterial blood gas analysis, central venous $O_2$ saturation, and lactate were measured. Results: The blood viscosity and aggregation index decreased abruptly 1 hour after ECC and then remained low during ECC in both groups, but blood elasticity did not change during ECC. Blood viscosity, blood elasticity, plasma viscosity, and the aggregation index were not significantly different in the groups at any time. Hematocrit decreased abruptly 1 hour after ECC in both groups due to dilution by the priming solution used. Conclusion: After ECC, blood viscoelasticity and RBC aggregation were not different in the pulsatile and nonpulsatile groups in the adult dog model. Furthermore, pulsatile flow did not have a more harmful effect on blood viscoelasticity or RBC aggregation than nonpulsatile flow.

최근 점사상을 활용하는 GIS 분야에서 많은 양의 점사상 축적과 함께 점분포 패턴을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 알고리즘의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 여러 연구에서 K-지표를 활용하여 점사상의 공간적 밀집 여부의 검증이 가능하며, 사건과 배경의 상호 관련성 평가가 가능함을 증명하고 있다. 한편 GIS 데이터로서의 점사상은 측량에 의해 실좌표가 관측된 사상보다는 주소와 같은 위치참조에 의해 간접적으로 좌표가 주어지는 경우가 많으며, 경우에 따라서는 통계자료와 같이 행정구역과 같은 지역단위의 집계자료로 대표되어 점사상 각각이 좌표를 가지지 못하는 경우도 많다. 본 연구에서는 GIS를 이용한 공간 분석 기법으로서 K-지표를 계산할 때, 집계자료의 사용이 K-지표의 산출에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 원데이터(지번단위), 지형적인 집계(블록 단위), 행정적인 집계(행정구역 단위) 등 세 가지 형태의 데이터로부터 산출된 K-지표를 비교, 분석하였다. 연구결과 가까운 거리에서 밀집이 심하게 일어나는 점사상의 경우에는 행정구역과 같은 큰 지역단위를 이용하면 결과의 왜곡이 심하게 발생하여 활용이 곤란하나, 블록단위의 K-지표는 원데이터의 K-지표와 거의 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

우리나라에서 먹넌출은 안면도 지역에서만 소나무 숲에서 제한적으로 분포하는 덩굴성 식물이다. 본 연구는 먹넌출 집단의 분포형태와 특성, 유전다양성 및 공간분포에 따른 유전구조를 파악하는데 있다. 선발된 8개 I-SSR primer에서 총 50개의 I-SSR 증폭산물을 얻었으며 37개의 단형성 증폭산물을 제외한 13개의 다형적 증폭산물을 분석에 이용하였다. 공간적 자기상관 분석을 위한 조사구 $90m{\times}70m$내에 총 39개체의 먹넌출이 자생하고 있었으며, 군집지수(aggregation index)는 0.706으로 집중분포(clumped distribution)하는 공간분포를 나타냈다. I-SSR 표지자 분석 결과 39개체 중 유전자형이 서로 다른 21개의 유성생식체(genet)가 식별되었으며, 유전자형 비율(G/N)은 53.8%, 유전자형 다양성(D)은 0.966, 유전자형 균등도(E)는 0.946으로 각각 나타났다. Shannon의 다양성지수(I = 0.598)는 적은 개체수와 제한적 분포에도 불구하고 다른 수종들에 비해 비교적 높은 유전다양성을 나타냈다. Tanimoto distance를 이용한 공간적 자기상관 분석 결과 안면도 먹넌출의 현지외 보존을 위한 표본 추출 전략은 6m 이상의 간격을 두고 개체를 선발하는 것이 타당한 것으로 나타났다.
