Objective: POU class 1 homeobox 1 (POU1F1) mediates growth hormone expression and activity by altering transcription, eventually resulting in growth rate variations. Therefore, we aimed to identify chicken POU1F1 polymorphisms and evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and growth-related traits, and logistic growth curve parameter traits (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, and ${\gamma}$). Methods: Three SNPs (M_1 to M_3) were used to genotype 585 $F_1$ and 88 $F_0$ birds from five Korean native chicken lines using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results: Single marker analyses and traits association analyses showed that M_2 was significantly associated with body weight at two weeks, weight gain from hatch to 2 weeks, and weight gain from 16 to 18 weeks (p<0.05). M_3 was significantly associated with weight gain from 14 to 16 weeks and from 16 to 18 weeks, and asymptotic body weight (${\alpha}$) (p<0.05). No traits were associated with M_1. The POU1F1 haplogroups were significantly associated with weight gain from 14 to 16 weeks (p = 0.020). Linkage disequilibrium test and Haploview analysis shown one main haploblock between M_2 and M_3 SNP. Conclusion: Thus, POU1F1 significantly affects the growth of Korean native chickens and their growth curve traits.

Curve number (CN), originally developed, compiled by 'The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)', and has been widely used throughout the world. However, there is the uncertainty of CN derived from the use of antecedent moisture condition (AMC)/Antecedent Runoff Condition (ARC). As in Korea where nearly 70% covered by mountainous area, it is still not sufficient handbook precedent to guide or support the estimation of AMC/ARC. The failure to develop formal criteria of applying AMC/ ARC will be a gaping profession and results not only in uncertainty of CN estimation in particular, but also in designing appropriate structures in Korea as a whole. This paper is aiming at presenting a critical review of AMC/ARC and deriving a procedure to deal more realistically with event rainfall-runoff over wider variety of initial conditions. Proposed methods have been developed. It is based on modifying estimated runoff to observed runoff with coefficient of determination and then applying different algebraic expression with the verification of AMC by antecedent rainfall table of NEH-1964. The result shows that algebraic expression by Arnold et al. (1996) is the most appropriate for AMC/ARC and the results of AMC/ARC estimation criteria are generally very close to each other. Therefore, this algebraic expression might be applied in South Korea condition properly.

Very long life fatigue tests were carried out on 16Mn steel base metal and its welded joint by using the ultrasonic fatigue testing technique. Specimen shapes (round and plate) were considered for both the base metal and welded joint. The results show that the specimens present different S-N curve characteristics in the region of $10^5-10^9$ cycles. The round specimens showed continuously decreasing tendency while plate specimens showed a steep decreasing step and an asymptotic horizontal one. The fatigue strength of round specimen was found higher than plate specimen. The fatigue strength of as-welded joint was 45.0% of the base material for butt joint and 40% for cruciform as-welded joint. It was found that fracture can still occur in butt joint beyond $5{\times}10^6$ cycles. The cruciform joint has a fatigue limit in the very long life fatigue regime ($10^7-10^9$ cycles). Fatigue strength of butt as-welded joint was much higher as compared to cruciform as-welded joint. Improvement in fatigue strength of welded joint was found due to UPT. The observation of fracture surface showed crack mainly initiated from welded toe at fusion areas or geometric discontinuity sites at the surface in butt joint and from welded toe in cruciform joint.

The horizontal compression test of some selected corrugated fiberboards was performed to determine the cushioning properties of them. Creep behavior of the corrugated fiberboard boxes, which have been widely used in rural area for packaging fruits and vegetables, was tested. The flute crushing stress of the corrugated fiberboard depended upon mainly the basic weight of the corrugated medium, comparing with the combined basic weight of corrugated fiberboard. When moisture content of the corrugated fiberboards was increased about 8% (d.b.), the flute crushing stress of them was decreased at the rate of 44%~64%. The cushion factor of the sample fiberboards showed much higher value at the lower moisture content of them. These trends appeared to be more obvious at the lower applied stress levels. Also, the cushion factors of the double wall corrugated fiberboards(DW) were observed to be little higher than those of the single wall corrugated fiberboards(SW). The creep behavior of the sample boxes was found to be highly moisture and static load dependent. The creep behavior of the corrugated fiberboard boxes could be well analyzed by the asymptotic slope derived from the creep model.

본 연구에서는 생체조직의 흡수계수와 산란계수를 비침습적으로 측정하는 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 피코초 영역의 펄스폭을 갖는 레이저광으로 조직을 조사하고 산란반사된 빛을 시간상관 단일 광자 계수법을 이용하여 피코초 시간영역에서 측정하였다. 측정된 시간분해 반사율의 최대치에 이르는 시간 및 나중소멸부분의 점근선의 기울기로부터 계산되는 값과 디컨블루션방법에 의한 곡선맞춤으로 얻은 값을 비교하여 서로 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 매질의 산란이 커질수록 흡수가 작을수록 근사식은 더 잘 맞으므로 가시광선부터 근적외선의 파장영역에서 흡수에 비해 산란이 매우 큰 생체조직의 광특성을 비침습적으로 측정하는 중요한 방법이 될 수 있다.

The study interprets each of three classification models based on Bath-Tub Failure Rate (BTFR), Extreme Value Distribution (EVD) and Conjugate Bayesian Distribution (CBD). The classification model based on BTFR is analyzed by three failure patterns of decreasing, constant, or increasing which utilize systematic management strategies for reliability of time. Distribution model based on BTFR is identified using individual factors for each of three corresponding cases. First, in case of using shape parameter, the distribution based on BTFR is analyzed with a factor of component or part number. In case of using scale parameter, the distribution model based on BTFR is analyzed with a factor of time precision. Meanwhile, in case of using location parameter, the distribution model based on BTFR is analyzed with a factor of guarantee time. The classification model based on EVD is assorted into long-tailed distribution, medium-tailed distribution, and short-tailed distribution by the length of right-tail in distribution, and depended on asymptotic reliability property which signifies skewness and kurtosis of distribution curve. Furthermore, the classification model based on CBD is relied upon conjugate distribution relations between prior function, likelihood function and posterior function for dimension reduction and easy tractability under the occasion of Bayesian posterior updating.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors predicting rehospitalization by comparing three models and selecting the most successful model. Methods: In order to predict the risk of rehospitalization within 28 days after discharge, 11 951 inpatients were recruited into this study between January and December 2009. Predictive models were constructed with three methods, logistic regression analysis, a decision tree, and a neural network, and the models were compared and evaluated in light of their misclassification rate, root asymptotic standard error, lift chart, and receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: The decision tree was selected as the final model. The risk of rehospitalization was higher when the length of stay (LOS) was less than 2 days, route of admission was through the out-patient department (OPD), medical department was in internal medicine, 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases code was neoplasm, LOS was relatively shorter, and the frequency of OPD visit was greater. Conclusions: When a patient is to be discharged within 2 days, the appropriateness of discharge should be considered, with special concern of undiscovered complications and co-morbidities. In particular, if the patient is admitted through the OPD, any suspected disease should be appropriately examined and prompt outcomes of tests should be secured. Moreover, for patients of internal medicine practitioners, co-morbidity and complications caused by chronic illness should be given greater attention.

본 연구에서는 이론적 배경을 토대로 사행 하천의 만곡부에 적용하기 용이한 횡분산계수 경험공식을 새롭게 제안하였다. 차원해석을 통한 독립변수들의 선정 대신 이론식을 기반으로 독립변수들과 그들의 함수형태를 우선 결정하였다. 결정된 함수식에서 매개변수를 골라내고 이를 고정하는 대신 회귀계수로 전환하여 실제 하천 만곡부에 적합한 경험식을 비선형회귀분석을 통해 제안하였다. 기존의 횡분산계수식들과 비교해 보면 본 연구에서 개발된 식이 관측 분산계수와 대체적으로 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 개발된 식의 특징을 살펴보면 마찰항에 대한 민감도가 상대적으로 적어 조도가 작은 하천에도 적용하기에 무리가 없어 보인다. 또한 개발된 식은 수심 대비 사행반경의 비가 큰 경우에도 기존의 추정식처럼 이상치를 나타낼 우려가 없어 만곡이 심한 사행하천에 적용하기 적합하다.

$H_2O$ maser emission at 22 GHz in the circumstellar envelope is one of the good tracers of detailed physics and kinematics in the mass loss process of asymptotic giant branch stars. Long-term monitoring of an $H_2O$ maser spectrum with high time resolution enables us to clarify acceleration processes of the expanding shell in the stellar atmosphere. We monitored the $H_2O$ maser emission of the semi-regular variable R Crt with the Kagoshima 6-m telescope, and obtained a large data set of over 180 maser spectra over a period of 1.3 years with an observational span of a few days. Using an automatic peak detection method based on least-squares fitting, we exhaustively detected peaks as significant velocity components with the radial velocity on a $0.1kms^{-1}$ scale. This analysis result shows that the radial velocity of red-shifted and blue-shifted components exhibits a change between acceleration and deceleration on the time scale of a few hundred days. These velocity variations are likely to correlate with intensity variations, in particular during flaring state of $H_2O$ masers. It seems reasonable to consider that the velocity variation of the maser source is caused by shock propagation in the envelope due to stellar pulsation. However, it is difficult to explain the relationship between the velocity variation and the intensity variation only from shock propagation effects. We found that a time delay of the integrated maser intensity with respect to the optical light curve is about 150 days.

본 연구에서는 최근 적용사례가 급증하고 있는 가압식 그라우팅을 이용한 쏘일네일링의 현장인발시험 자료를 수집하여 데이터베이스를 구성하였으며, 기존의 도해법을 이용한 극한인발저항력 판정법의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 비선형회귀분석을 이용하여 극한인발저항력을 판정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 비선형회귀분석에 의해 추정된 하중-변위곡선은 현장인발시험 자료와 매우 높은 상관성을 보였으며, 도해법에 의해 판정된 극한인발하중에 비해 평균 29% 정도 크게 판정되었다. 쏘일네일의 하중-변위곡선이 항복하중 이후에 급격한 변위를 보이는 경우에는 S자 성장곡선 회귀모형이 가장 적합하며, 인발하중과 변위의 증가량이 점진적으로 감소하는 파괴거동을 보이는 하중-변위곡선은 점근적 방법이 가장 적합한 회귀모형으로 평가되었다. 본 연구로부터 제안된 단위극한주면 마찰 저항력은 국내 지반특성과 가압식 그라우팅 공법의 특성이 반영된 것으로 해외 연구결과로부터 제시된 설계도표를 이용하던 문제점을 개선함으로써 독자적인 설계기준을 확보하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
