  • Formation of Z-DNA, a left-handed double helix, from B-DNA, the canonical right-handed double helix, occurs during important biological processes such as gene expression and DNA transcription. Such B-Z transitions can also be induced by high salt concentration in vitro, but the changes in the relative stability of B-DNA and Z-DNA with salt concentration have not been fully explained despite numerous attempts. For example, electrostatic effects alone could not account for salt-induced B-Z transitions in previous studies. In this paper, we propose that the B-Z transition can be explained if counterion entropy is considered along with the electrostatic interactions. This can be achieved by conducting all-atom, explicit-solvent MD simulations followed by MM-PBSA and molecular DFT calculations. Our MD simulations show that counterions tend to bind at specific sites in B-DNA and Z-DNA, and that more ions cluster near Z-DNA than near B-DNA. Moreover, the difference in counterion ordering near B-DNA and Z-DNA is larger at a low salt concentration than at a high concentration. The results imply that the exclusion of counterions by Z-DNA-binding proteins may facilitate Z-DNA formation under physiological conditions.

  • Kim and Lee(2005) suggested Minimum Entropy Deconvolution(MED) to estimate the temporal sequence of the relative recharge. However this study by Kim and Lee(2005) was just related to the verification of the conceptual approach with MED. In this study, we try to characterize the applicability of MED in the case of spatially heterogeneous recharge (distance from recharge area). Simulated results were recorded with some specific sampling points. Estimated results from this study show higher than 0.8 in cross-correlation with the original recharge sequence.

  • 과거 홍수 방재에 관한 노력의 대부분은 대하천을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 경제의 발전과 더불어 레져 활동 영역이 산지유역으로 확대되면서 돌발홍수로 인한 인명사고의 발생이 빈번해졌고 이로인한 추가적인 방재 활동이 요구되고 있다. 그러므로 돌발홍수로 인한 인명 및 재산의 피해를 감소시키기 위하여 본 연구에서는 다양한 지표들을 고려하여 산지유역에서의 돌발홍수 발생 위험도를 평가하기 위한 새로운 기법을 개발하였다. 고려된 다양한 지표들의 돌발홍수 발생에 대한 기여도를 평가하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 다기준의사결정 기법의 하나인 프로메티(Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations, PROMETHEE)를 이용하였으며, 평가 지표들로는 지역특성, 강우특성 및 지형특성 등이 선정되었다. 또한 이상의 평가지표들에 대한 상대적 가중치 산정을 위하여 엔트로피(Entropy) 기법이 이용되었다. 엔트로피 기법과 프로메티를 이용한 돌발홍수 위험도 평가기법은 그 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 봉화군 유역에 적용되었으며, 적용 결과 봉화군 유역 내 17개 소유역에 대하여 그 상대적 위험도가 평가되었다. 또한 17개 소유역은 그 결과에 따라 각각 5개, 7개, 5개의 고 중 저위험군으로 분류되었다. 또한 적용결과의 추가적인 검증을 위하여 과거 돌발홍수 피해 사례를 조사한 결과 고위험군으로 평가된 지역들 중 한 곳에서 2008년 돌발홍수가 발생했었음을 확인하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 목적어-동사 관계의 분포에 따라 한국어 동사를 자동적으로 클러스터링하는 방법을 제시한다. SOM(Self-Organizing Map)이 입력 패턴을 분석하고 가시화하는데 뛰어난 성능을 보이므로, 본 논문에서는 클러스터링하는 방법으로 SOM을 채택하였다. 일단 맵(map)이 만들어지고 나면 학습하는 동안 경험하지 못한 동사도 쉽게 적당한 클러스터로 분류될 수 있고 클러스터들 간의 의미 거리도 맵을 이용하여 쉽게 계산할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 명사 확률 분포의 상대 엔트로피(relative entropy)에 기반한 클러스터링 방법과 비교해 본 결과, SOM에 의해 만들어진 동사 클러스터가 상대 엔트로피를 이용해서 만들어진 클러스터를 잘 반영한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • In this paper we study the quasi-neutral limit of the compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows in the periodic domain ${\mathbb{T}}^3$ with the well-prepared initial data. We prove that the weak solution of the compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows governed by the Poisson equation converges to the strong solution of the compressible flow of magnetohydrodynamic flows as long as the latter exists.

  • $La_{1-z}Nd_z(Fe_{0.88}Si_{0.12})_{13}$ and their hydrides were investigated to obtain large magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) in a wide temperature range, including room temperature, for applications in magnetic refrigents. Since the magnetization change due to the itinerant-electron metamagentic (IEM) transition for $La_{1-z}Nd_z(Fe_{0.88}Si_{0.12})_{13}$ becomes larger with increasing z, the isothermal magnetic entropy change ${\Delta}S_m$ and the relative cooling power (RCP) are enhanced. In addition, the Curie temperatrue $T_C$ of $La_{0.8}Nd_{0.2}(Fe_{0.88}Si_{0.12})_{13}$ is increased from 193 to 319 K by hydrogen absorption, with the IEM transition. The maximum value of $-{\Delta}S_m$, $-{\Delta}S{_m}^{max}$, in a magnetic field change of 2 T for $La_{0.8}Nd_{0.2}(Fe_{0.88}Si_{0.12})_{13}H_{1.1}$ is about 23 J/kg K at $T_C$ = 288 K, which is larger than that of 19 J/kg K at $T_C$ = 276 K for $La(Fe_{0.88}Si_{0.12})_{13}H_{1.0}$. The value of RCP = 179 J/kg of the former is also larger than 160 J/kg of the latter. It is concluded that the partial substitution of Nd improves MCEs in a wide temperautre range, including room temperature.

  • 지표를 활용한 대기오염 취약성 평가에서는 지표의 선정과 함께 지표별 가중치 결정이 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구는 전국 249개 시군구를 대상으로 엔트로피 가중치 산정법을 활용하여 오존을 중심으로 한 대기오염 취약성을 평가하고, 엔트로피 가중치 방법론의 활용가능성을 검토하였다. 연구방법은 대기오염 취약성 지표를 선정하고 이들을 표준화하고, 엔트로피를 이용한 가중치를 적용하여 취약성을 평가하는 방식을 활용하였다. 노출 지표는 기상요인과 대기오염요인을 고려하였고, 민감도는 취약대상과 취약환경요인을, 지자체별 적응능력은 지역의 사회 경제적 요소, 보건의료요인, 대기관리 요인을 적용하였다. 취약성 평가 결과는 단순합산의 경우 화성시, 광진구, 김포시, 광주시, 군포시 순으로 취약성이 높게 나타났으며, 취약성-탄력성 지표(VRI) 방식도 단순합산 결과와 유사한 취약지역 공간 분포 패턴을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 엔트로피 가중치를 이용한 대기오염 취약성 평가는 자료에 기반한 객관적인 취약성 평가로 불확실성을 동반하는 기후변화와 대기오염 취약성 평가에 활용가치가 높을 것으로 보인다. 또한 취약성 평가결과는 지자체별 특성이 반영된 것으로 세부적인 분석을 통해 지역 맞춤형 정책수립에 활용될 수 있다.

  • We report the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of $Sr_{1.8}Pr_{0.2}FeMo_{1-x}W_xO_6$($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$) samples prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of the tetragonal double perovskite structure with a I4/mmm space group in all the synthesized samples. The temperature dependent magnetization measurements reveal that all the samples go through a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition with an increasing temperature. The Arrott plot obtained for each synthesized sample demonstrates the second order nature of the magnetic phase transition. A magnetic entropy change is obtained from the magnetic isotherms. The values of maximum magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power at an applied field of 2.5 T are found to be $0.40Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}$ and $69Jkg^{-1}$ respectively for the $Sr_{1.8}Pr_{0.2}FeMoO_6$ sample. The tunability of magnetization and excellent magnetocaloric features at low applied magnetic field make these materials attractive for use in magnetic refrigeration technology.

  • The rapid climatic changes being caused by global warming are resulting in abnormal weather conditions worldwide, which in some regions have increased the frequency of landslides. This study was aimed to analyze and compare the landslide susceptibility using the Frequency Ratio (FR), Statistical Index, Weight of Evidence, Certainty Factor, and Index of Entropy (IoE) at Woomyeon Mountain in South Korea. Through the construction of a landslide inventory map, 164 landslide locations in total were found, of which 50 (30%) were reserved to validate the model after 114 (70%) had been chosen at random for model training. The sixteen landslide conditioning factors related to topography, hydrology, pedology, and forestry factors were considered. The results were evaluated and compared using relative operating characteristic curve and the statistical indexes. From the analysis, it was shown that the FR and IoE models were better than the other models. The FR model, with a prediction rate of 0.805, performed slightly better than the IoE model with a prediction rate of 0.798. These models had the same sensitivity values of 0.940. The IoE model gave a specific value of 0.329 and an accuracy value of 0.710, which outperforms the FR model which gave 0.276 and 0.680, respectively, to predict the spatial landslide in the study area. The generated landslide susceptibility maps can be useful for disaster and land use planning.

  • In this paper, magnetic property and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in perovskite manganites of the type $La_{(0.75-X)}Ce_XCa_{0.25}MnO_3$ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5) synthesized by using the standard solid state reaction method have been reported. From the magnetic measurements as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field, we have observed that the Curie temperature ($T_C$) of the prepared samples strongly dependent on Ce content and was found to be 255, 213 and 150 K for x = 0.0, 0.2 and 0.3, respectively. A large magnetocaloric effect in vicinity of $T_C$ has been observed with a maximum magnetic entropy change (${\mid}{\Delta}S_M{\mid}_{max}$) of 3.31 and 6.40 J/kgK at 1.5 and 4 T, respectively, for $La_{0.55}Ce_{0.2}Ca_{0.25}MnO_3$. In addition, relative cooling power (RCP) of the sample under the magnetic field variation of 1.5 T reaches 59 J/kg. These results suggest that $La_{0.55}Ce_{0.2}Ca_{0.25}MnO_3$ compound could be a suitable candidate as working substance in magnetic refrigeration at 213 K.
