The electrical resistivity method is a well-known geophysical method for observing underground conditions, (such as anomalies) and the properties of soil and rock (such as porosity, saturation, and pore fluid characteristics). The shape of electrodes used in an electrical resistivity survey depends on the purpose of the survey and installation conditions. Most electrodes for field applications are cylindrical for sufficient contact with the ground, while some are conically sharpened at their tips for convenient penetration. Previous study only derived theoretical equations for rod-shaped electrodes with spherical tips. In this study, the theoretical resistance for two cylindrical electrodes with conical tips is derived and verified experimentally. The influence of the penetration depth and tip on the measurement is also discussed.

기존에 사용하고 있는 포화깊이를 추정하는 Green-Ampt (1911) 방정식과 무한사면 얕은파괴를 계산하는 Skempton & DeLory(1957) 방정식을 수치해석과 비교하여 오류를 확인하였다. 실제 비탈면에서 강우로 인한 사면 불안정성의 근본적인 원인을 방정식으로 간단하게 평가하기에는 계산 결과에 대한 오류와 과대 또는 과소평가가 되고 있는 부분들을 많이 포함하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 화강풍화토 강도정수의 평균범위를 적용하여 불포화 침투해석을 고려한 방정식을 제안하고 수치해석 결과와 비교하여 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 비탈면의 붕괴에 위험을 주는 강우지속시간과 포화깊이를 확인하면서 사면 안전율 방정식을 여러 분야에서 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 제안하였다.

Recently we showed the prototype portable device for the determination of human skin moisture by using near infrared spectroscopy. In order to optimize the acquiring condition of NIR spectrum of skin and control the target information of water depending the site such as epidermis and dermis, skin depth profiling was investigated changing the distance between illuminations and receiving of radiation in the terminal of fiber probe. The colleted light information could be controlled by changing the distance of the fiber optic probes. It was confirmed that the longer distance we used, the deeper site from the skin surface we could get information from in this study. Four kinds of probes with distances such as 0.03 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, and 1.0 mm were used. In addition, the gap size from 0.3 mm to 3.0 mm was studied to control the intensity of water absorbance effectively and to avoid saturation of water absorption. We also investigated the reference materials depending the reflectance ratio for water absorption not to be saturated because of the strong absorptivity of water. Furthermore, spectroscopic information regarding free water and bound water around 1850 nm was investigated by using the different distance of fiber optic probes. This study would be great help to control the spectroscopic information of water to be measured depending the site where water exists.

1999년 동해 해양 탐사에서 관측된 자료를 이용하여 동해에서 수심에 따른 탄산칼슘의 포화도 변화를 분석하였다. 해수의 칼슘 농도는 염분 측정값으로부터 계산하였으며, 탄산염 농도는 총알칼리도와 수소이온농도 측정값을 이용하여 계산하였다. 동해의 해수는 방해석에 대하여 약 200${\sim}$400m보다 얕은 곳에서는 과포화 되어있고, 그보다 깊은 곳에서는 불포화 되어있다. 아라고나이트의 경우에는 약 100${\sim}$300 m보다 얕은 곳에서는 과포화 되어 있고 그보다 깊은 곳에서는 불포화되어 있다. 대양에 비교하여 동해의 포화깊이가 낮은 이유는 동해의 낮은 수온 때문으로 추정된다.

This study measured the change of media properties using Time domain Reflectometry (TDR) and Tensionmeter (TM) to measure volumetric water content of soil affecting in land subsidence and pollutant diffusion under saturation/unsaturated condition by water-level fluctuations. Also, actual water content compared their changes aspect by dry oven test for quantitative determinations of these measured values. In the case of TM, initial unsaturated condition confirmed that range in dimension of each other different according to their establishment depth, but measured values of TM can know that is shown measured value in almost similar measuring range under drain condition after the first injection. Also, the results of TDR showed that can measure enough change of volumetric water content in saturation/unsaturated condition by water-level fluctuations. Therefore, we are judged that TDR measurement equipment is very effective to measure the variations of volumetric water content and water-level being caused in groundwater level fluctuations.

The end products of the metabolism of the oral microorganism, organic acids, are an element that produces dental caries. Four organic acids in plaque fluid, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, propionic acid which take the important role in producing dental caries, were chosen to evaluate the effect of acid type and concentration. The subject, $100{\mu}m$ in thickness, were immersed in acid-buffer solution which has the different acid concentration of 10mM, 25mM, 50mM, 100mM and pH 4.3 and degree of saturation was $0.153{\pm}0.003$ kept in constant and were operated to produce artificial caries under different demineralization time (1, 2, 3 day) at x25. The results were obtained by observing under polarizing microscope at x25. 1. The subsurface lesion, specific finding of incipient enamel caries, showed positive birefringence. but surface zone and sound enamel showed negative birefringence. 2. The demineralization rate of enamel was increased as the acid concentration increased. 3. The subsurface lesion showed increasing depth in the order of lactic, acetic, propionic acid, succinic acid. 4. The concentration of organic acid in artificial caries system had an independent effect on demineralization rate in enamel under the constant pH and degree of saturation. The result of this study showed that not only pH and the acid strength but the concentration of organic acid had an independent effect on demineralization rate in early enamel caries. And through the further research on the factors influencing enamel demineralization, it will be necessary to develop an effective caries preventive therapy.

The importance of forests and trees in climate change mitigation and soil nutrient cycling cannot be overemphasized. This study assessed the above-ground carbon stock of two exotic and two indigenous tree species - Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis, Khaya grandifoliola and Nauclea diderrichii and their litter impact on soil nutrient content of an arboretum within the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Data were collected from equal sample plots from the four species' compartments. Tree growth variables including total height, diameter at breast height, crown height, crown diameter and merchantable height were measured for the estimation of above-ground carbon stock. Soil samples were collected from a depth of 0-30 cm from each compartment and analyzed for particle size distribution, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable bases, exchangeable acidity, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, pH, Manganese, Iron, Copper and Zinc. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for significant difference (p<0.05) in the carbon contents of the four species and the soil nutrient contents of the different species' compartments. Pearson correlation was used to assess the relationships between the carbon contents, growth parameters and soil parameters. The highest and lowest carbon stock per hectare was observed for G. arborea (151.52 t.ha^-1) and K. grandifoliola (45.45 t.ha^-1) respectively. Cation exchange capacity and base saturation were highest and lowest for soil under G. arborea and K. grandifoliola respectively. The pH was highest and lowest for soil under G. arborea and T. grandis respectively. Carbon stock correlated positively with dbh, crown diameter, merchantable height and Zn and negatively with base saturation. The study revealed that G. arborea and N. diderrichii can effectively be used for reforestation and afforestation programmes aimed at climate change mitigation across Nigeria. Therefore, policies to encourage and enhance their planting should be encouraged.

법랑질의 재광화에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 pH, 불소 농도, 포화도 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 유산 완충 탈회용액을 이용하여 법랑질 시편을 인공 탈회시킨 후, pH 4.3에서 포화도를 0.22, 0.30, 0.35로 달리한 세가지 재광화 용액에 10일간 처리하여 나타나는 변화를 편광현미경으로 관찰하여 전체 탈회 깊이와 건전 표층 폭의 변화를 조사하였다. 또한 Image program (Scion Image analyzer)을 이용하여 병소 부위의 평균 mineral density를 측정하여 탈회와 재광화 후 무기질 변화량을 통해 인공 탈회된 법랑질의 동력학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 1. 재광화 후 모든 군에서 건전 표층의 폭이 증가하였는데, 포화도가 증가할수록 건전 표층 폭이 증가하였다 (P<.05). 2. 재광화 후 mineral density 변화를 관찰한 결과, 포화도가 낮은 군에서는 이온의 침착이 병소 전반적으로 일어났으나, 포화도가 높은 군에서는 건전 표층 부위와 표층하 병소의 하층부에서 이온의 침착으로 mineral density 가 증가하였고 표층하 병소의 상층부에서는 탈회가 진행되어 mineral density 가 감소하였다. 3. 재광화 후 모든 군에서 무기질량이 증가하였고 전체 탈회 깊이도 증가하였으나 각 군간에 통계적 유의차는 없었다. 본 실험에서 인공 탈회된 시편을 pH 4.3인 재광화 용액에 처리시 포화도가 높을수록 건전 표층에서 더 많은 재광화 현상이 일어났고 표층하 병소에서는 재광화 현상이 적게 일어났으며, 재광화 후 모든 군에서 전체 탈회 깊이는 증가하였다.

지하수면과 불포화대의 수분 포화도가 지하투과레이더(GPR) 신호에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 실내 토조와 충적층 현장에서 GPR 조사를 수행하였다. 실내의 모래 채움 토조 실험에서, 지하수위를 변화시키기 위해 물을 탱크 바닥에 설치된 밸브를 통해 주입하고 배수시켰다. 지하수위와 수분포화도를 추정하기 위하여 모래 채움 토조에서 GPR 수직반사법(이후, VRP) 자료가 획득되었다. 실내 모래 채움 토조에서 획득된 GPR 신호는, 지하수위는 물론 함수율 변화에도 민감하게 반응함을 보여준다. 불포화대에서 GPR 속도는 함수율 변화에 따라 크게 조절되며, 주시 시간의 증가는 포화도의 증가로 해석된다. 함안군 이룡리 낙동강변 충적층에서 220m에 달하는 VRP 조사가, 지하수위를 추정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 현장 조사 결과, 포화 조건에서 GPR 신호의 첫 번째 반사면은 모관 상승에 의한 경계부를 지시하며, 실제 지하수면과는 차이가 있음을 지시한다. 보다 정확한 지하수위를 추정하기 위하여, Well-3호공 주변에서 중앙공심점(common mid-point, 이후, CMP) 방식 GPR 조사를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 모관 상승 경계부와 지하수면으로부터 반사되는 CMP 자료는 쌍곡선 형태를 보였다. NMO(nomal move-out) 보정을 통해, CMP 조사 자료로부터 GPR 신호의 속도를 구하였고, 이는 보다 상세한 지하수면과 심도별 포화도 정보를 제공하였다. 지하수면과 포화도 정보를 포함하는 GPR 조사결과는 통기대의 현장 수리 지질학적 특성 조사에 유용한 수단이다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experience of adult Korean children who are caregivers for parents institutionalized with dementia. Methods: Participants were fourteen adult children caregivers of elders institutionalized with dementia. Data were collected through in-depth unstructured interviews with individual participants from August to November, 2012. Theoretical sampling was used to the point of theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory Method. Results: From open coding, 67 concepts, 29 sub-categories, and 14 categories were identified. Analysis revealed that the core category of the experience of adult children caring for their parents institutionalized with dementia was 'enduring the role of a prop' consisting of four phases: initial turmoil, exploration, role adjustment, and acclimation. To manage the role of a prop, participants utilized various action/interactional strategies such as overcoming the unfamiliarity, overseeing the nursing home care, and counterbalancing the caring roles. As a result, participants experienced ambivalence towards the existence of parents with dementia, changes in family relationships, altered viewpoint towards nursing homes, and restructuring of life. Conclusion: In-depth understanding of the experience will guide nurses to promote effective interventions in order to better support the Korean family caregivers of parents institutionalized with dementia.
