Outbreaks from September 1999 to July 2000 of blackleg in 4 milking and fatting cattle farms in the vicinity of Munkyong(northwestern part of Gyeongbuk province) were investigated biochemical characteristics of isolates and were surveyed epidemiological works during the period of 2 months from August to September 2000. Clostridium chauvoei, the etiological agent of blackleg is a serious pathogen of cattle and sheep causing fever, depression and lameness with high mortality in growing phase of 6 to 18 months old mainly beef cattle. Biochemical and cultural properties of 4 isolated Cl chauvoei were identical to those of reported results and isolates were susceptible to ampicillin, bacitracin, chlorarnphenicol, cephalothin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, norfloxacin, penicillin, and tetracycline, while they were resistant to amikacin, colistin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. In the results of epidemiological survey, outbreak farms that concentrated region of milking or fatting cattle in each sites were so close contact within a radius of about 1km that they are separated only by wire fence or shrub harrier and flies, rodents, wild cats and birds could have the chance to move around between those farms. The origin of the outbreak blackleg were uncertain, but the transmission between farms were mainly through the movement of farm personnel, vehicles which were struck the feces or manures from farm and other mechanical factors such as flies, rodents and birds furthermore occurred 4 farms were not vaccinated. In conclusion, a periodic disinfection, vaccination and quarantine prevention are ideal methods of damage reduction by blackleg.

We report the detection of an exoplanet candidate in orbit around ${\sigma}$ Persei from a radial velocity (RV) survey. The system exhibits periodic RV variations of $579.8{\pm}2.4$ days. The purpose of the survey is to search for low-amplitude and long-period RV variations in giants and examine the origin of the variations using the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph installed at the 1.8-m telescope of Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea. We present high-accuracy RV measurements of ${\sigma}$ Per made from December 2003 to January 2014. We argue that the RV variations are not related to the surface inhomogeneities but instead a Keplerian motion of the planetary companion is the most likely explanation. Assuming a stellar mass of $2.25{\pm}0.5$ $M_{\odot}$, we obtain a minimum planetary companion mass of $6.5{\pm}1.0$ $M_{Jup}$, with an orbital semi-major axis of $1.8{\pm}0.1$ AU, and an eccentricity of $0.3{\pm}0.1$ around ${\sigma}$ Per.

Background: This study is aimed to evaluate the level of fear and to reduce the overall fear, thereby enabling patients to receive treatment via timely visits. Methods: In a survey conducted by 460 South Korean middle school students, we used 453 data that faithfully responded to the survey. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors influencing subjective oral health and dental fear. The significance level used for statistical significance was ${\alpha}=0.05$. Results: The level of fear was higher for upper grade, female students. The factors affecting dental fear were higher for gingival bleeding and dental pain. Regarding factors for dental fear affecting subjective oral health, lower fear of puncture needle and tooth removal tool resulted in higher subjective oral health. Conclusions: The study found that adolescents had higher fear of dental care when they had gingival bleeding and tooth pain. Gingival bleeding is a symptom of early gingival disease and dental pain is likely due to advanced dental caries. These results suggested that it is necessary to have a program to reduce dental fear and anxiety as well as a program to prevent dental diseases through regular periodic screening and education.

One of the most important things in mobile phone service is Hand-Off (H/O). Meantime soft H/O and softer H/O have been used between the same generations (2G↔2G) and there is little problem. With user's needs and the development of communication technology, the system with different generation coexists and pilot beacon and time-periodic beacon are used for H/O between generations (2.5G↔2G) to start service, but it is not economic and efficient. To improve such problems, ENHHO developed in April 2001 has recently used. Unfortunately, this method also has the defect of momentary cutoff of communication information during the procedure of H/O in case of more than 5 pilot signals. Accordingly, we suggest algorithm to improve the problem of ENHHO and examines its propriety by analyzing the results of field survey using the algorithm.

We searched for X-ray emission from the 665 galaxies inside and towards the nearby voids by analyzing the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data as well as the ROSAT pointed observations (PSPC). As a result we have detected six X-ray emitting galaxies. Two (UGC 10205 and NGC 7509) are in the high density region in the local void, three (UGC 749, MCG +11-10-073, and Mrk 464) are towards the nearby voids, and UGC 32 is located in the low density region. We carried out a timing analysis for both Mrk 464 and UGC 32, and a spectral analysis for Mrk 464. The light curve of Mrk 464 shows the possibility of periodic X-ray flux variation and UGC 32 shows weak, but rapid variation.

전기에 의한 화재 발생시 재래시장은 소방안전관리체계나 일관된 지휘체계를 갖추고 있지 않아 화재발생시 적절한 대응을 하지 못해 많은 재산상 피해를 보게 된다. 전기에 의한 화재를 예방하기 위해서는 전기설비의 열화나 고장에 대한 절연저항 측정 또는 누설전류를 측정하는 등의 대책이 있으나 전기설비 열화나 고장은 비가시적이고 비노출식이므로 이를 상시 검출하고 감시할 수 있는 시스템 개발을 필요로 하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전기화재에 취약한 재래시장용 전기안전 감시시스템 개발을 위한 준비단계로 먼저 고압이나 저압을 수전 받고 있는 국내 재래시장 17개소에서 수배전반, 분전반 등에 사용하는 차단기들의 종류와 용량 및 상가 분전반에 사용하는 차단기의 종류와 용량, 분기 회로수 등에 대한 조사 분석을 통해 재래시장용 전기안전 감시시스템의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

From the short-period variability survey (SPVS) in Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, I obtained time-series BV CCD images in the region of the young open cluster M29 (NGC 6913) for 15 nights from May 30, 2008 to September 17, 2009. I observed 48 variable stars including 45 new ones. They consisted of 5 $\delta$ Scuti, a Cepheid, 16 eclipsing binaries and 24 semi-long periodic and/or slow irregular type variable stars including $\beta$ Cephei and LPB type stars. For the rest two ones, the type of variability was not defined. I also checked the variability of the 26 known variable stars listed in the GCVS. Only three ones among 26 known variable stars confirmed variability.

Servicizing is defined 'not as to sell the products but as to sell the functions'. This study was done on the methods for revitalization as the object items of navigation & antenna among car parts. The direct door-to-door survey was done for 101 enterprises (direct-management stores) and percentage & t-test were done for statistics. The results can be summarized like followings. First, PR on servicizing is required. Second the optimized methods can be obtained by incorporating reuse & recycling distribution systems of servicizing with the existing recovery system Reuse distribution system can be constructed rationally because inventory control is being done correct1y with the periodic recovery. Finally, as for the analysis on the relative importance of main factors of servicizing, it shows that supports & providing the concrete frame of the government & local autonomous body are important.

The objectives of this study were to find the status of health education of residents. and to analyze the status of knowledge. attitude. and practice about adult disease. especially about hypertension. diabetes mullitus, cancer and health care system etc. and to find the relation between the factors and knowledge status. attitude and practice. The survey was carried out for half month from July 1 to 15. 1997. The subjects were 283 persons in the rural areas that were chosen from one country. Muan Gun near Mokpo City. To interview the rural residents, 5 volunteer interviewers were recruited from university students whose major is nursing, and they were trained about the questionnaire. The percentage of the acceptance of health education are $1.1\%-9.2\%$ of the subjects that the degree of the percentage of the health education was highest in diabetes mellitus. and the next were hypertension. cancer. joint disease. CVA. Therefore the need of the health education was very high. Of the subjects. $13.4\%-60.8\%$ wanted to receive the health education about each disease. Highest proportion of the subjects indicated hypertension and joint disease. Of the subjects $42.1\%-6.7\%$ knew each disease. The degree of knowledge was highest in cancer. followed by T.B., D.M., and hypertension. Of the subjects. $58.5\%$ practiced after receiving health education. and $47.3\%$ were getting periodic health examination during the last one year. Of the subjects. $76.1\%-94.4\%$ did not practice preventive methods such as low-salt diet. periodic health examination and exercise etc.. The knowledge and attitude. and practice of the health were more active in male persons and in highly educated persons significantly than their counterparts. As the adult diseases now are more prevalent than before. more attention should be put on health education to prevent adult diseases in the dimension of developed practice method.

Objectives: This study aims to provide basic data regarding the bacterial total plate count in the atmospheric environment for related studies. Methods: Total plate count and the identification of culturable bacteria in the atmospheric environment in Incheon took place in 2015 using periodic survey. Correlationship analysis was performed between the number of culturable bacteria and environmental elements. In addition, an estimation of novel bacterial species was undertaken using the similarities and phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene. Results: The total plate count of culturable bacteria was on average $176CFU/m^3$, and did not exceed $610CFU/m^3$ in the atmospheric environment. Periodic monthly measuring of total plate count was highest in June at $293CFU/m^3$, while the lowest was in July at $125CFU/m^3$. Furthermore, as a result of the identification of culturable bacteria, the genera Arthrobacter and Kocuria were dominant, while novel bacterial taxa that belong to the genera Chryseobacterium and Herbiconiux were separated. Conclusion: The total number of culturable bacteria from the atmospheric environment in Korea is on average $176CFU/m^3$. In addition, the genera Arthrobacter and Kocuria dominate. The presence of novel bacterial taxa are expected in the atmospheric environment, such as belonging to the genera Chryseobacterium and Herbiconiux.
