PURPOSE: This study examined the specific clinical risk factors in middle-aged men with age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass (ALSMM). METHODS: The present research analyzed the data from a cross-sectional study of 1,564 community-dwelling participants aged between 40 to 49 years old. The participants were screened for ALSMM. The study examined various risk factors, including age, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, skeletal muscle mass index, smoking and drinking status, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose levels, and triglyceride and cholesterol levels. RESULTS: The risk factors of ALSMM were height, body mass index, waist circumference, skeletal muscle mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, drinking status, fasting glucose, and triglyceride levels (p < .05). The weight, triglyceride, and smoking status variables were non-significant (p > .05). CONCLUSION: The risk factors for ALSMM among community-dwelling adults were determined. These results are expected to contribute to the existing literature on ALSMM and provide potential risk factors associated with the development of ALSMM in middle-aged males.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender, age, body weight, muscle mass, fat mass, body mass index (BMI), metabolism, and compliance with medication on weight loss in obese adults. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 178 patients who were visited to the Korean Oriental Clinic for 3~6 month and had obesity treatment using Gamitaeumjowee-tang from April 2017 to May 2017. We conducted a paired T-test, correlation coefficient and decision tree to analyze factors influencing obesity treatment. Results: The results of correlation analysis showed that initial weight (kg), initial fat mass (kg), BMI ($kg/m^2$), compliance with medication (%), Original Harris-Benedict Equation, Revised Harris-Benedict Equation and The Mifflin St Jeor Equation was significantly correlated to weight loss (kg) (P<0.001). As a result of constructing the decision tree model, it showed that over 5% weight loss of their initial weight (n=154) was related with initial BMI ($kg/m^2$), compliance with medication (%) and initial muscle mass (kg). In case of over 5 kg weight loss of their initial weight (n=131), it was related with initial BMI ($kg/m^2$), compliance with medication (%) and final BMI ($kg/m^2$). Conclusions: This study suggests that weight loss may be affected by initial factors and that initial factors can be used for obesity treatment.

본 연구는 1963년도에 식재된 낙엽송, 소나무, 리기테다소나무 조림지를 대상으로 셀룰로오스 분해와 토양 환경인자 사이의 관계를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 셀룰로오스 분해에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 토양온도, 토양 수분함량, 토양 pH, 토양 이산화탄소 방출량을 2006년 7월부터 10월까지 4개월 동안 측정하였다. 셀룰로오스 분해율은 리기테다소나무($6.5mg\;g^{-1}\;day^{-1}$), 소나무($6.2mg\;g^{-1}\;day^{-1}$), 낙엽송($6.1mg\;g^{-1}\;day^{-1}$) 순이었으나 수종간 유의적인 차이는 없었다(P > 0.05). 셀룰로오스 분해율은 20cm 깊이의 토양 온도와 양의 상관(소나무: r = 0.77, P < 0.05; 리기테다소나무: r = 0.59, P < 0.05; 낙엽송: r = 0.48, P < 0.05)을 보였으나, 토양 pH와는 음의 상관(소나무: r = -0.63, P < 0.05; 리기테다소나무: r = -0.47, P < 0.05; 낙엽송: r = -0.43, P < 0.05)이 있었다. 토양이산화탄소방출량과 셀룰로오스 분해율은 소나무(r = 0.46, P < 0.05), 낙엽송(r = 0.37, P < 0.05), 토양 수분함량과 셀룰로오스 분해율은 소나무(r = 0.53, P < 0.05)와 유의적인 양의 상관(P < 0.05)이 있었다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 셀룰로오스 분해는 각기 다른 침엽 수종으로부터 발생하는 토양 환경요인에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Artificial brown-rot decay was induced to two wood species, Pinus densiflora and Pinus radiata. A modified direct inoculation method was used and the decay indicators of mass loss and two compressive mechanical properties, maximum compressive strength (MCS) and compressive stiffness, were estimated over the period of 8 weeks of fungal exposure. Measurable mass loss occurred 2 weeks after the fungal attack, with 15% to 22% of the loss occurring 8 weeks after fungal exposure with Fornitopsis palustris and Gloeophyllurn trabeurn. Mechanical properties proved to be far more sensitive than mass loss detection: approximately five to six times by quantity. Of the two mechanical properties, MCS was more sensitive to and consistent with progressive brown-rot decay. An ultrasonic test was performed to determine the feasibility and accuracy of this method for nondestructive detection of brown-rot decay. The ultrasonic test is highly sensitive at qualitative detection of the early stages of brown-rot decay.

치화화 사막에서 몇 가지 식물 뿌리의 분해율과 분해 과정에 따른 질소함량의 변화를 조사하였다 (1986년 10월 ~ 1990년 4월). 뿌리의 분해는 리그닌 함량과 역상관 관계를 보였다(r=-0.84, n=5, p<0.05). 1년생 광엽초본인 Baileya multiradiata의 분해율이 가장 높았고 다년생 협엽 초본인 Panicum obtusum의 분해율이 가장 낮았다. 지역에 따른 분해율은 playa에서 가장 낮았다. Baileya multiradiata를 제외하고 모두 분해 초기에 질소의 무기화가 있은 다음 질소의 부동화가 나타났다. Baileya multirdiata의 뿌리는 분해 초기부터 질소함량이 계속 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 다년생 협엽초본 뿌리의 리그닌 함량은 광엽초본 뿌리의 리그닌 함량보다 높았다.

본 논문에서는 Carbon/Epoxy 복합재 적층판에 대하여 실사격 실험을 수행하였으며, 복합재 적층판의 흡수에너지를 예측하기 위한 개선된 방법을 제시하였다. 고속충격실험 과정에서 충격체의 질량손실을 고속카메라를 통하여 거시적으로 확인하였으며, 따라서 이를 고려하여 복합재 적층판의 흡수에너지를 계산하였다. 고속충격을 받는 복합재 적층판의 흡수에너지를 예측하기 위한 모델을 제시하였으며, 복합재 적층판의 흡수에너지는 크게 정적에너지와 동적에너지로 분류하였다. 정적에너지 계산은 섬유의 파손과 정적 탄성에너지와 관련 있는 준정적 관통실험식을 통해 구한 관통에너지를 사용하였다. 동적에너지는 변형되는 시편의 운동에너지와 손실된 파편 질량들의 운동에너지로 나뉠 수 있다. 최종적으로 충격체 질량손실을 고려하여 예측된 흡수에너지와 실험결과를 비교/분석하였다.

Recently, we reported that significant ion loss occurred prior to its detection in the conventional single particles mass spectrometry and more seriously the loss is ion-kinetic-energy-dependent. These lead to significant error in the measured chemical composition of nanoparticles. Here we attempted to design a novel ion optics that is capable of 100% detection of ions generated from single nanoparticle. Using a commercial software SIMION, we simulated the trajectories of ions launched at different speeds inside the previous single particle mass spectrometer We tested how affect changes in shape of repelling plate, adding Einzel lens, substitution of tube electrode between extraction and acceleration grids. As a results, we could find a best design by assembling the trials in the present condition.

Evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure loss were measured for three different micro-fin tubes and a smooth tube. The experiments were carried out with R-22 over a wide range of vapor Quality, mass velocity and heat flux. Heat transfer coefficient of the tube with slightly modified fin shape was found to be higher than that of the commercial reference tube by 60%. The improvement of heat transfer has been achieved without noticeable increase of pressure loss. Heat transfer coefficient was increased with increasing quality, refrigerant mass flux, and heat flux. However, the effect of refrigerant mass flux and heat flux was not great. Heat transfer coefficient at bottom was lower than that at top of the tube in low quality region, which suggested the existence of stratification in the micro-fin tube. Pressure drop was linearly increased with increasing refrigerant quality and was proportional to about square of mass flux.

A planet revolving around binary star system is a familiar system. Studies of these systems are important because they provide precise knowledge of planet formation and orbit evolution. In this study, a method to determine the evolution of an exoplanet revolving around a binary star system using different rates of stellar mass loss will be introduced. Using a hierarchical triple body system, in which the outer body can be moved with the center of mass of the inner binary star as a two-body problem, the long period evolution of the exoplanet orbit is determined depending on a Hamiltonian formulation. The model is simulated by numerical integrations of the Hamiltonian equations for the system over a long time. As a conclusion, the behavior of the planet orbital elements is quite affected by the rate of the mass loss from the accompanying binary star.

본 연구에서는 EPS 샌드위치 패널 심재에 대한 일정한 외부 복사열에 의한 질량감소속도와 열방출특성을 분석하였다. 일정한 외부 복사열원에 노출된 EPS 샌드위치 패널 심재의 질량감소속도와 열방출특성을 분석하기 위해 3가지 Type의 시료를 사용하였으며, 연소열을 측정하기 위해 Oxygen bomb calorimeter를 질량감소속도와 열방출특성을 분석하기 위해 Mass loss calorimeter를 사용하였다. 질량감소속도와 열방출 특성을 분석하기 위해 $100mm{\times}100mm{\times}50mm$ 크기의 시료를 사용하였다. 연구결과 50 kW/$m^2$의 외부복사열원에서 평균질량감소속도는 Type A와 B의 경우 각각 2.7 g/$m^2s$, 2.8 g/$m^2s$로 비슷한 경향을 나타낸 반면, Type C는 2.3 g/$m^2s$로 상대적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 평균열방출속도는 Type B와 C의 경우 각각 47.19 kW/$m^2$, 50.06 kW/$m^2$으로 큰 차이가 없었으나, Type A는 58.23 kW/$m^2$으로 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 열방출특성의 결과를 캐나다 분류체계에 적용할 경우 Type A와 C의 경우 C-3등급, Type B의 경우 C-2등급으로 분류되었다. 향후 콘칼로리미터법을 이용한 샌드위치 패널 심재에 대한 열방출율 특성과의 비교연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
