The acoustic vowel space has been used as an acoustic parameter in dysarthric speech. The aim of this work was to examine mathematical formulae for acoustic vowel space and to apply these to Korean speakers with idiopathic Parkinson's disease(IPD). Five acoustic parameters were chosen from earlier works and one new parameter was proposed, the pentagonal vowel space. The six parameters included triangular vowel space (3 area), irregular quadrilateral vowel space (4 area), irregular pentagonal vowel space (5 area), vowel articulatory index (VAI), formant centralization ratio (FCR) and F2i/F1u ratio (F2 ratio). An experimental group of 32 IPD patients(male:female=16:16) and a control group of twenty healthy people (male:female=8:12) participated in the study and repeated vowels (/a-i-u-e-o/) three times. A correlation analysis was performed among the six parameters, 2-way ANOVA was done with gender and groups as independent factors, and an independent sample t-test was conducted between the male and the female group as post hoc comparison. All parameters were highly correlated with each other and only the FCR showed a high negative correlation with the others. The results of ANOVA showed a significant difference in F2 ratio, 3 area, 4 area and 5 area between gender and in 4 area and 5 area between groups. For the male members of the two groups, significant statistical differences were found in all parameters whereas no such differences were found for the female members. These findings indicated that the vowel space of the female group was wider than the vowel space of the male group. These differences may have been caused by gender-specific speech styles rather than by patho-physiological mechanisms. We also claim that the pentagonal vowel space is better than the other vowel spaces at representing the disordered speech in natural speech situations.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate whether the extract of Coptidis Rhizoma inhibits inflammation in chronic cold stress (CCS)-exposed mice or not. Methods : Coptidis Rhizoma extract (CRE) was made by reflux with distilled water. Male ICR mice (7 weeks old) were divided randomly into 5 groups: (1) control, (2) CCS, (3) CCS+CRE 100 mg/kg, (4) CCS+CRE 300 mg/kg, (5) CCS+CRE 1,000 mg/kg groups. Mice were orally administered once a day for 14 days starting from 1 day before CCS. Group (2)-(5) were exposed to CCS conditions that maintained at $4^{\circ}C$ for 2 h once a day for 14 days. The levels of serum cortisol and hypothalamic prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and PGE2 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. The expression levels of several pro-inflammatory factors like heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), c-fos, and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) were measured by western blot analysis in mouse hypothalamus. Results : Oral administration of CRE 1,000 mg/kg significantly suppressed the increase of serum cortisol levels in mice exposed to CCS. CCS-exposed mice had significantly increased the expression of HSP70, c-fos, and NF-kB in hypothalamus, while CRE treatment significantly attenuated the elevation of these pro-inflammatory factors. The ratio of PGE2/PGE1 was also higher in CCS-exposed mice than control group. CRE treatment significantly reduced the increase of PGE2/PGE1 ratio induced by CCS. Conclusion : These findings suggest that Coptidis Rhizoma may work as a potential agent to modulate inflammatory responses under the condition of cold adaptation formed by CCS.

본 시험은 국내 TMR 배합소에 대한 실태조사를 통하여 문제점을 파악하고 개선방향을 제시하기 위하여 수행하였다. TMR 배합소 20개소 조사결과 조사 배합소의 65%인 13개소가 사료배합비 작성을 외부에 의뢰하고 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 배합비 작성 등 컨설턴트 비용으로 월 평균 $50{\sim}90$만원 정도를 지출하고 있어, 컨설팅 비용에 대한 부담으로 경영비를 상승시키는 요인이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 국내 유통 TMR에는 에너지가인 TDN가를 표기하고 있지 않아 농가에서 구입 활용 시 적정영양소 균형급여가 어려운 실정이다. 국내 유통 TMR에 대한 건식 TMR의 추정 TDN가는 개인공장 TMR 63.0, 생산자단체 TMR 73.2로 나타났으며, 습식 TMR의 추정 TDN가는 개인공장 TMR 64.9, 생산자단체 TMR 67.2로 생산자단체의 TMR이 개인공장의 TMR 보다 에너지가 높은 것으로 나타났다. TMR 배합소에서 생산되는 TMR 제품의 가격은 건물기준으로 비교해 보았을 때, kg당 건식 TMR은 $325.6{\sim}347.0$원이었으나 습식 TMR은 $365.7{\sim}375.0$원으로 습식 TMR의 가격이 높았다. TMR 배합소 종사자들의 TMR의 확대 보급을 위한 선결과제로는 TMR 교육 및 홍보와 TMR 배합비 작성능력 향상을 요구하였다. 따라서 국내 TMR 배합소의 발전을 위해서는 관련 종사자에 대한 전문적인 교육이 뒷받침 되어야 함을 알 수 있다.

The importance of bamboo as raw material for bamboo wares and several kinds of industrial products is highly appreciated at home and abroad. But different kinds of bamboo-bundle systems have been traditionally used in the local areas. There being no reasonable bamboo-bundle system, we have a lot of difficulty in trading bamboo products and executing adrinistmative works. Therefore, a reasonable bamboo-bundle system based on scientific proofs needs to be tested and established for fair trade and administration. This study is carried out to solve the above difficulty with statistical investigation and analysis. The results obtained are as follows. 1. The larger the circles at eye-height become, the more the possibility of the largest internode covering the span between eye-height and 1/4 height increases. 2. The longest internodes are distributed according to a rule without relation to circles at eye-height. 3. The tapering grade of bamboo culms is very high and its form is almost the same without relation to its size. (Form exponent; 0.71-1.05, eye-height form factor; 0.60-0.66, 1/4 becomes, seeing that the circle grade and the percentage of actual volume height form factor; 0.61-0.69). 4. The larger the circles at eye-height are, the lower the percentage of actual volume have negative curve relation to each other. 5. It is considered that the numbers of bamboos bundled in a "Sok" is not decided according to the usefulness of bamboos, judging from the fact that the outputs of bamboo wares per "Sok" in every circle grade are not the same. 6. As the results of the regression analysis, the empirical formulae of several amounts to circles at eye-height and culm length are as follows; Volume, $${\hat{y}}_i=\bar{3}.821874+2.013181log\;C_i+0.839128log\;H_i$$ $$V=0.0066355\;C^{2.013181}\;H^{0.839128}$$ Actual volume, $${\hat{y}}_{ai}=3.915338+0.776549log\;C_i+1.857000log\;H_i$$ $$V_a=0.0082288\;C^{0.776549}\;H^{1.857000}$$ Weight, $$w_i=3.869148+1.936410log\;C_i+0.566904log\;H_i$$ $$W=0.0073986\;G^{1.936410}\;H^{0.565904}$$ 7. Korean Phyllostachys bambusoides Sieb. et Zucc. is almost the same as that of Japan in several amounts, just the same especially in the weight. 8. It is found that the bamboo-bundle systems of Korea and Japan have much closer relation to the weight than other amounts. So It is, therefore, considered that the weight is important factor in deciding bamboo-bundle system. 9. According to the item 8, I should like to propose the appropriate numbers per "Sok" adjusted on the basis of the weight in the Table 18.

대표적인 하천횡단구조물 중 하나인 낙차공은 하천하상의 안정을 목적으로 설치되지만 이는 하천환경의 연속성을 차단하고, 수생태환경의 파괴를 야기하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생태통로로서의 기능을 갖는 저낙차 자연형 낙차공을 모형으로 제작하여 실험실 실험을 수행하고, 적절한 지배인자 사이의 관계를 도출하여 국부세굴공 규모의 예측식을 제안하였다. 직선형과 6가지 상향 V 자형의 낙차공 모형에 대하여 각각 실험유량은 4가지로 총 28개의 조건에 대해서 실험을 수행하였다. 각각의 실험조건별 세굴실험 결과를 바탕으로 기존에 제안된 세굴심 추정식을 적용한 결과보다 최대세굴심이 다소 크게 발생함을 확인하였다. 따라서 낙차공 직하류부에서 발생하는 세굴공 발생 주요인자들 사이의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 낙차공으로의 유입흐름 특성과 낙차공의 높이, 낙차공의 총횡단길이와의 상관관계가 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 또한 이를 토대로 각 실험조건별 세굴심과 세굴길이에 상관관계가 높다고 판단되는 변수들을 무차원화하여 최대세굴공의 깊이와 길이 산정식을 각각 제안하였다. 향후 추가적으로 다양한 하상토 재료와 수심변화를 고려한 실험적 연구 및 수치해석 연구를 병행하여 보다 정확한 세굴심 산정식을 도출할 수 있다.

The use of barley seeder attached to rotary tiller in the rural area has a significant meaning not only for the solution of labor peak season, but also for the increase of land utilization efficiency. The facts that presently being used barley seeders are all based on the mechanical principles of the reverse rotation, center drive and are all using forward rotating tine, which is used to be easily and heavily worn out when it rotates reversely, raise problem of recommending them to rural area in Korea. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to develop new type of rotary tine attachable to barley seeders. To attain the objective the following approaches were applied. (1) The kinematic analysis of reverse rotating barley seeders. (2) The studies on the soil bin and artificial soil. (3) The comparative experiment on the power requirement of prototype tine. The results obtained from the studies are summarized as follow: 1. The kinematic analysis of barley seeder attached to rotary tiller: The following results were obtained from the kinematic analysis for deriving general formulae of the motion and velocity characterizing the rotary tine of barley seeders presently being used by farmers. a) The position vector (P) of edge point (P) in the rotary tine of reverse rotating, center drive was obtained by the following formula. $$P=(vt+Rcos wt)i+Rsin wt j+ \{ Rcos \theta r sin \alpha cos (wt- \beta +\theta r) +Rsin \theta r sin \alpha sin (wt-\beta + \theta r) \} lk $$ b) The velocity of edge point $(P^')$ of reverse rotating, center drive rotary tine was obtained by the following formula. $$(P^')=(V-wR sin wt)i+(w\cdot Rcoswt)j + \{ -w\cdot Rcos \theta r\cdot sin \alpha \cdot sin (wt-\beta +\theta r) + w\cdot Rsin \theta r\cdot sin \alpha \cdot cos (wt- \beta + \theta r \} k $$ c) In order to reduce the power requirement of rotary tine, the angle between holder and edge point was desired to be reduced. d) In order to reduce the power requirement, the edge point of rotary tine should be moved from the angle at the begining of cutting to center line of machine, and the additional cutting width should be also reduced. 2. The studies on the soil bin and artificial soil: In order to measure the power requirement of various cutting tines under the same physical condition of soil, the indoor experiments Viere conducted by filling soil bin with artificially made soil similar to the common paddy soil and the results were as follows: a) When the rolling frequencies$(x)$ of the artificial soil were increased, the densIty$(Y)$ was also increased as follows: $$y=1.073200 +0.070780x - 0.002263x^2 (g/cm^3)$$ b) The absolute hardness $(Y)$ of soil had following relationship with the rolling frequencies$(x)$ and were increased as the rolling frequencies were increased. $$Y=37.74 - \frac {0.64 + 0.17x-0. 0054x^2} {(3.36-0.17x + 0.0054x^2)^3} (kg/cm^3)$$ c) The density of soil had significant effect on the cohesion and angle of internal friction of soil. For instance, the soil with density of 1.6 to 1.75 had equivalent density of sandy loam soil with 29.5% of natural soil moisture content. d) The coefficient of kinetiic friction of iron plate on artificial soil was 0.31 to 0.41 and was comparable with that of the natural soil. e) When the pulling speed of soil bin was the 2nd forward speed of power tiller, the rpm of driving shaft of rotary was similar to that of power tiller, soil bin apparatus is indicating the good indoor tester. 3. The comparative experiment on the power requirement of prototype tine of reverse rotating rotary: According to the preliminary test of rotary tine developed with various degrees of angle between holder and edge pcint due to the kinematic analysis, comparative test between prototype rotary tine with $30 ^\circ $ and $10 ^\circ$ of it and presently being used rotary tine was carried out 2nd the results were as follows: a) The total cutting torque was low when the angle between holder and edge point was reduced. b) $\theta r$ (angle between holder and edge point) of rotary tine seemed to be one: of the factors maximizing the increase of torque. c) As the angle between holder and edge point ($\theta r$) of rotary tine was $30 ^\circ $ rather than $45 ^\circ $, the angle of rotation during cutting soil was reduced and the total cutting torque was accordingly reduced about 10%, and the reduction efficiency of total cutting torque was low when the angle between holder and edge point ($\theta r$) of rotary tine was $10 ^\circ $, which indicates that the proper angle between holder and edge point of rotary tine should be larger than $10 ^\circ $ and smaller than $30 ^\circ $ . From above results, it could be concluded that the use of the prototype rotary tine which reduced the angle between holder and edge point to $30 ^\circ $, insted of $45 ^\circ $, is disirable not only decreasing the power requirements, but also increasing the durabie hour of it. Also forward researches are needed, WIlich determine the optimum tilted angle of rotary brocket, and rearrangement of the rotary tine on the rotary boss.

본 연구에서는 간단한 단위도 이론인 Nash 모형을 이용하여 유역 저류상수 및 집중시간의 문제를 이론적으로 고찰해 보았다. 먼저, Nash 순간단위도의 저류상수 및 집중시간을 그 정의에 따라 유도하고, 각각의 특성은 물론 둘 사이의 관계를 검토하였다. 추가로, 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 저류상수 및 집중시간의 경험공식들을 유도된 Nash 모형의 저류상수 및 집중시간 특성과 비교 검토하였다. 이 과정을 통해 얻은 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) Nash 순간단위도의 집중시간은 선형저수지의 개수에 거의 선형적으로 비례하는 형태를 가지나 저류상수는 비선형적으로 제곱근에 비례하는 형태를 가진다. 즉, 선형저수지의 수를 4배로 증가시키면 집중시간은 약 4배 증가하게 되나 저류상수는 약 2배 증가하는데 그치게 된다. 이러한 결과는 특히 유역분할에 따른 집중시간과 저류상수의 변화를 이해하는데 중요하다. (2) Nash 순간단위도의 집중시간과 저류상수의 관계는 서로 독립적이 아니며, 따라서 두 매개변수가 서로 독립적으로 결정되는 것은 물리적으로 타당하지 않다. 두 매개변수 중 집중시간이 선형저수지의 개수에 보다 민감하므로 이를 먼저 결정하고 저류상수의 경우는 기 결정된 집중시간을 반영하여 결정하는 것이 보다 바람직한 방법으로 이해할 수 있다. (3) 유역의 집중시간과 관련한 경험공식은 크게 선형하천의 개념에 충실한 경우와 그렇지 않은 것으로 나눌 수 있었으며, 각각의 경우에 포함된 식의 형태는 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 집중시간을 결정하는 유역의 특성인자가 대체로 유사함을 의미하며, 또한 유역 전반에 걸쳐 일관된 식의 형태를 적용하는 지역화가 가능함을 의미한다. (4) 유역의 저류상수와 관련해서 검토한 Russell 공식 등의 경우 그 적용범위 설정에 유역의 물리적인 특성을 충분히 고려할 수 있어, 비합리적인 적용은 충분히 배제될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
