The purposes of the study were (1) to evaluate the olfactory identification ability in those who have bad breath, (2) to determine the olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan in normal subjects and those who have bad breath, and (3) to evaluate the effect of oral hygiene care on the olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan. Sixteen male subjects with bad breath (male odor group), 9 male subjects without bad breath (male non-odor group), and 10 female subjects without bad breath (female non-odor group) were included for the study. Olfactory identification ability was assessed by administrating the Cross-Cultural Smell Identification Test (CC-SIT), and the olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan was measured by two-alternative forced-choice single-staircase detection threshold procedure in a double-blinded condition. The geometric mean of the last four staircase reversal points of a total of seven reversals is used as the threshold. For the male odor group, after 1 month of intensive oral hygiene care for reducing oral volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) concentration, the olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan was measured again and compared to the initial value. The ANOVA was used to test the group difference of olfactory threshold and olfactory identification ability and the paired t-test was used to test the difference of olfactory threshold between before and after reduction of oral VSC in male odor group. The results were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference in olfactory identification ability among those who have bad breath and normal male or female subjects. 2. The olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan was about 8.4 ppb in normal male and female. 3. There was a tendency that male subjects with bad breath showed a higher olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan when compared to those of no bad breath. 4. The olfactory detection threshold for methyl mercaptan returned to a normal level after 1 month of intensive oral hygiene care for reducing oral VSC.

방사선 조사 전분류의 확인방법을 연구하기 위하여 옥수수 전분, 고구마 전분 및 감자 전분을 대상으로 Brookfield rheometer를 이용한 점도측정법의 적용 가능성을 검토하면서, 전분현탁액의 농도(7.0-9.5%)와 점도계의 spindle 회전속도(25-125rpm)가 감마선 조사(0-6.0kGy) 시료의 점도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 모든 변수들의 관계에서 조사선량과 점도의 상관성이 가장 높은 조건을 선택하여 점도 측정을 위한 최적 조건으로 설정하고, 아울러 조사 전분에 대한 검지방법으로 적용하기 위하여 점도 threshold value를 설정하였다. 모든 시료에서 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 점도가 유의적으로 감소하였으며 (p<0.05), 시료 현탁액의 농도가 증가할수록 점도가 증가하고 rpm이 증가할수록 점도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 조사 전분의 확인에 있어서, 점도 측정조건으로 유용한 전분 농도(%)와 spindle 회전속도(rpm)는 옥수수 전분 7.5(6.7%, d.b.)와 125, 고구마 전분 8.5(7.3%, d.b.)와 125, 감자 전분 9.0(7.3%, d.b.)와 100이었다. 그리고 이 조건에서 threshold value는 비조사 시료가 0.521, 0.798 및 1.693임에 비해 최저 선량인 1.5 kGy 조사시료는 0.313, 0.345 및 0.811로 뚜렷한 차이를 보여 감마선 조사 시료는 비조사 시료로부터 확인이 가능하였다.

본 논문은 컨볼루션 신경망(CNN)을 이용하여 폭발물 성분의 용량별로 분류할 때의 성능을 평가하는 연구이다. 기존의 폭발물 분류 방식 중에 IMS 증기 탐지기 방식은 폭발물의 농도가 사용자가 장비에서 설정한 임계치를 넘어야만 폭발물의 존재 여부를 판단한다. IMS 증기 탐지기는 폭발물이 존재하더라도 임계치를 넘지 않는 양이면 폭발물이 존재하지 않는다고 판단하는 문제가 있다. 따라서 폭발물 성분의 농도가 임계치를 넘지 않는 양일 때에도 폭발물 성분을 검출하는 방안이 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 폭발물 시계열 데이터를 Gramian Angular Field(GAF) 알고리즘으로 이미지화를 진행한 후 이미지와 영상처리뿐만 아니라 시계열 데이터 처리에도 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 딥러닝 모델인 컨볼루션 신경망(CNN)으로 직접 label을 설정해서 지도학습을 진행한 결과 폭발물 성분의 농도가 임계치를 넘지 않는 양일 때에도 폭발물 성분이 존재한다고 판단함과 동시에 폭발물 성분의 종류와 폭발물 성분의 농도의 양을 같이 판단할 수 있는지 성능평가를 진행했다.

Objectives : The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between salivary flow, palate recognition threshold, DMFT index and oral health influence point (OHIP-14) of the adults over 40 years old. Methods : Salivary flow and taste recognition threshold were measured in 220 adults over 40 years old from three dental clinics in Daegu from January 3 to February 4, 2012. A total of 208 questionnaires were analyzed. Results : The adults recognized the sour taste in low concentration level when the salivary flow was faster. DMFT index was low in those who recognized sweet and sour taste that affected OHIP-14. Conclusions : Tooth decaying food must be restricted because of its high acidity in the past despite the individuals' taste recognition threshold was neglected. Before the diet control, it is necessary to measure the taste threshold of the individuals. Training for improving salivary flow is very important to prevent dental caries and to preserve good taste.

Cement of three alkalinities (equivalent alkalinities of 0.36,0.52 and 0.97) was employed in fabricating a set of classical G109 type specimens. To-date, these have been subjected to a one week wet-one week dry cyclic pending using 15 w/o NaCl solution. At the end of the dry period, potential and macro-cell current were measured to indicate whether the top reinforcing steel was in the passive or active state. Once this bar became active, the specimen was autopsied and the extent of corrosion was documented. Subsequent to visual inspection, concrete powder samples were collected from the upper region of the top rebar trace; and at a certain times concrete cores were taken from non-reinforced specimens. Using these, determinations were made of (1) critical chloride concentration for corrosion initiation ($Cl_{th}^-$), (2) effective chloride diffusion coefficient ($D_e$), and (3) pore water alkalinity ($[OH^-]$). The pore water alkalinity was strongly related to the alkali content of cement that was used in the mix. The chloride concentration, ($Cl^-$), was greater at active than at passive sites, presumably as a consequence of electro migration and accumulation of these species at active site subsequent to corrosion initiation. Accordingly, ($Cl^-$) at passive sites was considered indicative of the threshold concentration fur corrosion initiation. The $Cl_{th}^-$ was increased with increasing Time-to-corrosion ($T_i$). Consequently, the HA(High Alkalinity) specimens exhibited the highest $Cl_{th}^-$ and the NA(Normal Alkalinity) was the least. This range exceeds what has previously been reported in North America. In addition, the effective diffusion coefficient, $D_e$, was about 40 percent lower for concrete prepared with the HA cement compared to the NA and LA(Low Alkalinity) ones.

Wood dust is created when machines are used to cut or shape wood materials. Industries of high risk of wood dust exposure are sawmills, dimension mills, furniture industries, and carpenters, etc. Health effects associated with wood dust exposure includes dermatitis, allergic respiratory effects and cancer. Health effects of wood dus t are mainly depend on the concentration, dust size and exposure time. This study were carried out to evaluate the concentration and particle size distribution of wood dust during working processes. The subjects of this study were 53 workers exposed to wood dust in 7 furniture factories and 5 musical instruments, and 5 sawmill factories. The average total wood dust concentrations measured by personal cascade impactor were $1.82{\pm}2.31mg/m^3$ in primary manufacture, $3.59{\pm}1.72mg/m^3$ in s econdary manufacture, $5.09{\pm}1.46mg/m^3$ in sanding operation. Mass median diameters of hardwoods dust were $3.36{\mu}m$ in primary manufacture, $4.25{\mu}m$ in secondary manufacture, $4.21{\mu}m$ in sanding operation. softwoods dust were $3.39{\mu}m$ in primary manufacture, $4.34{\mu}m$ in secondary manufacture. Particle size distributions showed a nearly the same pattern in each working processes. The sample concentration of all hardwood dust exceeded the Threshold Limit Value(TLV) and 20.8% of the softwood dust exceeded the Threshold Limit Value. The range of size distribution were $0.5-10{\mu}m$ in the soft and hardwood dust. The respirable dust of soft and hardwood took up 59% and above. Therefore new threshold limit value for wood dust should be needed in Korea. Also, it should be done for various studies on health effects related to occupational exposure of wood dust.

Recognition thresholds for NaCl, sucrose, citric acid, and caffeine, as well as the pleasant concentration of NaCl were assessed in 176 males and 312 females aged 50-88 years. Furthermore, relationships among taste sensitivities, taste preferences, and lifestyles were examined. The taste solutions were presented one after the other in ascending order using the sip-and-spit method. For the recognition thresholds of the 4 basic tastes, women perceived significantly lower concentrations than the men. However, the pleasant concentration of NaCl did not show a gender difference. Sensitivities for the 4 basic tastes did not decrease with age in the men, but they did significantly decrease with age for the women, especially for those above 70 years. For men, regular exercise was positively correlated with sensitivities for sour taste and bitter taste, and physical activity was negatively correlated with the pleasant concentrations of NaCl. For women, who had more physical activity, sensitivities for sweet taste and sour taste were lower compared to the others. This study indicates that the sensitivities for 4 basic tastes in water diminished with age, but pleasant salt concentration did not change with age. Further research on pleasant NaCl concentration is required to determine factors affecting salt preference, in order to decrease salt intake in the elderly.
