Agricultural workers are often exposed to high levels of dust during field operations. A systematic exposure assessment of annual task-weighted exposure has not been thoroughly examined. The occupational dust exposure in two wine grape vineyards was measured. Exposure levels to total and respirable dust were determined for a 1-year cycle of work. An operation profile including the frequency of tasks was established. The means of total and respirable dust exposure were $1.08\;mg/m^3$ and $0.07\;mg/m^3$, respectively. Based on the exposure for each task and the task frequency, task-weighted mean exposures to total and respirable dust were estimated as $1.115\;mg/m^3$ and $0.079\;mg/m^3$, respectively. The task-weighted exposure was significantly represented by three operations and could be attributed to the exposure frequency rather than the exposure intensity of operations. The measurement of a few of the most frequent tasks may be an alternative method of estimating task-weighted exposure. Agricultural dust exposure can be significantly reduced by targeting those tasks most important to task-weighted dust exposure.

Due to the development of technologies, complex computation of huge data set is possible with a prevalent personal computer. Therefore, machine learning methods have been widely applied in the hydrologic field such as regression-based regional frequency analysis (RFA). The main purpose of this study is to compare two frameworks of RFA based on the artificial neural network (ANN) models: quantile regression technique (QRT-ANN) and parameter regression technique (PRT-ANN). As an output layer of the ANN model, the QRT-ANN predicts quantiles for various return periods whereas the PRT-ANN provides prediction of three parameters for the generalized extreme value distribution. Rainfall gauging sites where record length is more than 20 years were selected and their annual maximum rainfalls and various hydro-meteorological variables were used as an input layer of the ANN model. While employing the ANN model, 70% and 30% of gauging sites were used as training set and testing set, respectively. For each technique, ANN model structure such as number of hidden layers and nodes was determined by a leave-one-out validation with calculating root mean square error (RMSE). To assess the performances of two frameworks, RMSEs of quantile predicted by the QRT-ANN are compared to those of the PRT-ANN.

This article aims to investigate the possible retrofitting of a deficient building with soft story failure mode by connecting it to an adjacent building which is designed based on current code with friction dampers at all floors. Low cost and high performance reliability along with significant energy dissipation pertaining to stable hysteretic loops may be considered in order to choose the proper damper for connecting adjacent buildings. After connecting two neighbouring floors by friction dampers, the sliding forces of dampers at various stories are set in two arrangements: uniform sliding force and then variable sliding force. In order to account for the stochastic nature of the seismic events, incremental dynamic analyses are employed prior and after the installation of the friction dampers at the various floors. Based on these results, fragility curves and mean annual rate of exceedance of serviceability and ultimate limit states are obtained. The results of this study show that the collapse mode of the deficient building can affect the optimum arrangement of sliding forces of friction dampers at Collapse Prevention (CP) performance level. In particular, the Immediate Occupancy (IO) performance level is not tangible to the sliding force arrangement and it depends solely on sliding force value. Generally it can be claimed that this rehabilitation scheme can turn the challenge of pounding two adjacent buildings into the opportunity of dissipating a large amount of the seismic input energy by the friction dampers, thus improving significantly the poor seismic performance of the deficient structure.

태풍으로 인한 폭풍해일은 주로 여름철에 발생하는데, steric 효과 특성으로 하계에는 연평균 해수면보다 높은 해면이 나타나 이들의 복합적 효과를 고려한 해안 저지대의 월파범람 해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 하계에 발생하는 태풍해일 및 월파범람 취약성 해석을 위해 서남해안에 위치한 인천, 군산, 목포, 서귀포에서 관측된 1시간 간격의 기압과 조석 자료를 분석하였다. 여름철 평균 해수면 상승은 연평균 해수면 상승보다 서해안에서 약 20 cm, 남해안에서 15~20 cm 높게 나타난다. 해수면 상승 변화는 계절적 해면기압 변화와 밀접하게 연관되어 있는데, 1.58~1.73 cm/hPa의 범위에 있다. 이들의 상호 기작에서 한 달 또는 그 이상의 위상차가 발생한다. 해수면 상승 이외에 18.6년 장주기 조석 성분의 변화에 의해 2090년에 $M_2$ 분조의 진폭이 서남해안에서 최대값을 갖는 것으로 나타난다. 따라서 지구 온난화 및 해수면 상승과 관련된 목표 연도를 2090년에 맞춰서 분석할 필요성이 있다. 해수면 변화에 영향을 주는 연평균 해수면 상승, 하계 해수면 상승, 그리고 nodal factor 변동에 의한 복합적 효과와 100년 빈도 해일고를 고려한 월파 침수 범람을 모의한 결과 부산 수영만 일대 대부분이 월파에 의한 침수 범람이 발생하는 것으로 나타난다. 아울러 마린시티에서 최근 발생한 태풍 차바에 의한 월파량 보다 2090년에 2배 이상 증가되는 것으로 나타나기 때문에 월파범람 위험성에 대한 대비책을 마련할 수 있는 적절한 연안 설계가 필요하다.

Limited epidemiologic data is available regarding the cardiovascular effects of mercury exposure. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mercury exposure from fish consumption and cardiovascular disease in a nationally representative sample of Korean adults using the Fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES IV 2008~2009). Survey logistic regression models accounting for the complex sampling were used to estimate the odds ratios (OR) adjusted for fish consumption frequency, age, education, individual annual income, household annual income, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), alcohol consumption status, and smoking status. The mean blood mercury level in the population was $5.44{\mu}g/L$. Trends toward increased blood mercury levels were seen for increased education level (P=0.0011), BMI (P<0.0001), WC (P<0.0001), and fish (i.e., anchovy) consumption frequency (P=0.0007). The unadjusted OR for hypertension in the highest blood mercury quartile was 1.450 [95% confidential interval (CI): 1.106~1.901] times higher than that of the lowest quartile. The fish consumption-adjusted OR for hypertension in the highest blood mercury quartile was 1.550 (95% CI: 1.131~2.123) times higher than that of the lowest quartile, and the OR for myocardial infarction or angina in the highest blood mercury quartile was 3.334 (95% CI: 1.338~8.308) times higher than that of the lowest quartile. No associations were observed between blood mercury levels and stroke. These findings suggest that mercury in the blood may be associated with an increased risk of hypertension and myocardial infarction or angina in the general Korean population.

Extreme precipitation events have recently become a leading cause of disasters. Thus, investigating the variability and trends of extreme precipitation is crucial to mitigate the increasing impact of such events. Spatial distribution and temporal trends in annual precipitation and four extreme precipitation indices of duration (CWD), frequency (R10 mm), intensity (Rx1day), and percentile-based threshold (R95pTOT) were analyzed using the daily precipitation data of 10 observation stations in Chungcheong province during 1974-2020. The precipitation at all observation stations, except the Boryeong station, showed nonsignificant increasing trends at 95% confidence level (CL) and increasing magnitudes from the west to east regions. The high variability in mean annual precipitation was more pronounced around the northeast and northwest regions. Similarly, there were moderate to high patterns in extreme precipitation indices around the northeast region. However, the precipitation indices of duration and frequency consistently increased from the west to east regions, while those of intensity and percentile-based threshold increased from the south to east regions. Nonsignificant increasing trends dominated in CWD, R10 mm, and Rx1day at all stations, except for R10 mm at Boeun station and Rx1day at Cheongju and Jecheon stations, which showed a significantly increasing trend. The spatial distribution of trend magnitude shows that R10 mm increased from the west to east regions. Furthermore, variations in precipitation were very strongly correlated (99% CL) with R10 mm, Rx1day, and R95pTOT at all stations, except with wR10 mm at Cheongju station, which was strongly correlated with a 95% CL.

최근 지구온난화가 가속화되면서 전 세계적으로 기록적인 기상재해가 급증하고 있다. 특히 강우패턴의 변화로 인하여 강우강도가 증가하여 집중호우의 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 강우패턴의 변화를 반영하여 목표연도 확률강우량을 산정하는 비정상성 강우빈도해석법을 제안하였다. BCM2 모형(A2 시나리오)과 NCEP 자료를 K-NN 축소기법을 사용하여 축소시킨 연 총 강우량을 이용하여 연 최대 강우량 평균, 연 최대 강우량 평균과 매개변수 간 통계학적 관계를 분석하여 목표연도 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 분포형은 Gumbel 분포를 사용하였으며 매개변수 추정법은 확률가중모멘트법을 사용하였다. 국내에서 가장 긴 관측 강우자료를 가진 서울지점을 대상으로 모형의 적합성 검증을 실시하였으며, 2006년 현재 통계학적으로 증가경향성을 가진 7개의 강우관측지점에 적용한 결과를 분석하였다. 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 지역적 연 총 강우량의 변화는 미래 확률강우량의 증감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
