하천자연도란 하천 생태계의 자연스러운 정도를 의미한다. 하천자연도평가는 인위적 환경훼손의 영향을 상대적으로 평가하여, 현재 하천이 자연스러움에서 어떻게 어느 정도 벗어나 있는지를 가늠하며, 그리고 그러한 차이가 하천생태계에 어떤 중요성이 있으며, 자연에 가까운 하천구조를 다시 만들기 위해서는 얼마나 큰 행동이 필요한지를 보여주기 위해서 시행하는 것이다. 금번 연구에서는 국내외 하천자연도평가에 관한 연구성과를 검토하여 문제점을 개선하고 홍천강에 적용성을 검토하여 우리나라의 하천특성에 맞는 하천자연도 평가 방법을 제안하였다. 금번 제안한 하천자연도 평가는 하천의 치수 및 이수기능을 증진하고 하천생태계의 서식처 기능을 확보하기 위해, 하천의 환경적인 측면에서의 건전성을 평가하여 하천환경정비의 방향성을 제시할 수 있는 지표로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

화력발전소에서 발생하는 유연탄 Bottom ash(BA)는 고온에서 연소 되고 남은 재이다. 고온에서 구워진 재료이기 때문에 맥반석과 같은 기능이 있을 것으로 사료되어 연구를 시작하였다. 최근 일반 모르터보다 황토, 맥반석 등이 재료로 들어가서 원적외선, 항균, 항곰팡이, 탈취, 조습 기능이 있는 모르터의 수요가 늘어가는 추세이다. 유연탄 BA를 친환경 바이오 혼합소재로 활용하기 위한 친환경 바이오 BA 모르터를 일반 모르터와 각각의 기능성에 대해 비교 시험한 결과 원적외선 방사율이 약 $0.02{\times}10^2W/m^2$ 정도 높게 측정되었으며, 탈취 기능은 약 26% 이상 높게 측정되었다. 조습의 경우에도 친환경 바이오 BA 모르터가 일반 모르터보다 약 1.8배 우수한 효과를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 국토해양부에서 제정한 흡 방습 건축자재 "양호"기준보다 10% 이상 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the factors related to quality of life in heart transplant recipients. Methods: To identify studies that suggested the factors related to the quality of life in heart transplant recipients, we searched the articles published from 1974 to November 2018 using Six databases, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Cochrane, KMBASE and RISS. A total of 22 studies were selected out of 5,234 for the systematic review and meta-analysis on the basis of the PRISMA flow. The quality of study was assessed by assessment tool form the NIH and meta-analysis was performed using the 'R 3.5.2' version to analyze the correlated effect sizes. Results: Factors related to quality of life in heart transplant recipients were categorized into six domains based on the health-related quality of life model introduced by Ferrans: individual, environmental, biological function, symptoms, functional status, and general health perception. In the meta-analysis, 34 factors were used and 17 factors having significant effect sizes were as follows: self-efficacy, demoralization, perceived control, current occupational status, age, marital status, health promotion life style in the individual characteristics; stress in environmental characteristics; physical function status, creatinine level, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in biological function; anxiety, depression, symptom frequency and distress in symptoms domain; coping, self-care compliance in functional status. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the multi-dimensional factors influencing the quality of life in heart transplant recipients and provide the evidence for developing effective interventions for improving the quality of life of recipients.

The disaccharide trehalose ($\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranoside) is found in variety of organ-isms that are able to withstand almost complete desiccation. In order to identify the function of trehalose in plants, we isolated Arabidopsis trehalase (AtTRE) gene that encodes the enzyme able to hydrolyze trehalose to glucose, and trehalose-6-phosphate synthase isolog, TPS3 gene by RT-PCR. The AtTRE had the substrate specificity to hydrolyze only trehalose, and a broad pH range of enzyme activity. The AtTRE promoter/GUS reporter gene was expressed in cotyledons, mature leaf tissues including guard cells, and developing siliques. The GUS expression driven by AtTPS3 promoter was significant in root tissues, and the level of GUS activity was much higher than that of the pBll 21 control seedlings. The knockout of AtTPS3 gene in Arabidopsis resulted in the retarded root development, whereas the overexpression of AtTPS3 increased the root elongation in the presence of sucrose in MS medium. Possible functions of AtTRE and AtTPS3 in plant will be discussed. In addition, ectopic expression of yeast TPS1 driven by the inducible promoters in tobacco and potato conferred the plants on the drought and freezing tolerances.

Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) regulates proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells and modulates function of the mature hematopoietic cells. In the previous study, we reported that hGM-CSF could be produced in transgenic rice cell suspension culture, termed rhGM-CSF. In the present study we examined the single and repeated dose toxicity of rice cells-derived hGM-CSF in SD rats. During single dose toxicity study for 7 days, there were no any toxic effects at any dose of from 10 to $1000{\mu}g/kg$. The lethal dose ($LD_{50}$) was not found in this range. Moreover, repeated dose toxicity study of 14-days period and at the doses of 50 and $200{\mu}g/kg$ (i. v.) of rhGM-CSF did not show any changes in food and water intake. There were also no significant changes in both body and organ weights between the control and the test groups. The hematological and blood biochemical parameters were statistically not different in all the groups. These results suggest that rhGM-CSF has no toxicity in SD rats.

Objectives: This study was conducted to better understand the relationship between health effects and exposure to dusts from a briquette fuel complex in Ansim, Daegu, Korea. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 2,980 persons over 40 years old who had lived 20 years or more around a briquette fuel complex in Daegu. We conducted a questionnaire survey, and chest radiography was performed. In addition, chest computed tomography(CT) (335 cases) and pulmonary function test(PFT) (658 cases) were done. Pneumoconiosis was diagnosed if one of three radiologists determined(or suspected) pneumoconiosis. We also conducted in-depth interviews for pneumoconiosis cases. We defined the exposed group as subjects residing within a 500 meter radius from the walls of the briquette fuel complex, and the others were defined as the control group. Results: Subjects in the exposed and control groups are respectively 715(24%) and 2,265 cases(76%). Major respiratory symptoms in the exposed group such as sputum, dyspnea, chest tightness and wheezing were significantly higher than in the control group. By chest radiography, 173 cases of pneumoconiosis or suspicious pneumoconiosis were detected. By PFT, 62 cases(29.5%) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) among 210 asymptomatic subjects were detected. Finally, by chest CT we concluded 28 cases to be pneumoconiosis, and eight cases among them proved to be pneumoconiosis by environmental exposure. Conclusions: Through this study, we concluded that health outcomes such as respiratory symptoms, pneumoconiosis, and COPD were caused by continuous exposure to dusts from the briquette fuel complex. Policies to reduce environmental exposure are needed, and cases of environmental disease should be intensively followed up by the government.

Most of agricultural reservoirs in Korea have no function of flood control except 5% of reservoirs even exposed to natural disaster. In addition, there are increasing needs for the reservoir to guarantee the release of environmental flow to the downstream. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to study the priority decision method for the reservoir redevelopment satisfying both water utilization and flood control. The major scopes of this research are to set up six priority indices and to make needed GIS data for calculating each priority. There is important consideration of obtaining the data or not in deciding the indices. Although the detailed indices is expected to better reflect redevelopment priority but the subjective indices like, 'opinion' and 'landscape' are excluded. From the results, it will enables the six priority indices to really assist in decision redevelopment priority of agricultural reservoirs.

We propose an improvement of particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on the stabilization of particle movement (PM). PSO uses a stochastic variable to avoid an unfortunate state in which every particle quickly settles into a unanimous, unchanging direction, which leads to overshoot around the optimum position, resulting in a slow convergence. This study shows that randomly located particles may converge at a fast speed and lower overshoot by using the proportional-integral-derivative approach, which is a widely used feedback control mechanism. A benchmark consisting of representative training datasets in the domains of function approximations and pattern recognitions is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed PSO. The final outcome confirms the improved performance of the PSO through facilitating the stabilization of PM.

In this paper, we propose the target tracking system using fuzzy basis function expansion (FBFN) based on genetic algorithm (GA). In general, the objective of target tracking is to predict the future trajectory of the target based on the past position of the target obtained from the sensor. In the conventional and mathematical method, the parameter uncertainty and the environmental noise may deteriorate the performance of the system. To resolve these problems, we apply artificial intelligent technique to the tracking control of moving targets. The proposed method combines the advantages of both traditional and intelligent technique. The result of numerical simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
