It has been recently reported that a considerable portion of diabetic patients with renal insufficiency show normoalbuminuria. As little is known about normoalbuminuric renal insufficiency in the Asian population, we examined its prevalence and clinical characteristics in Korean type 2 diabetic patients. We studied 562 patients with type 2 diabetes from Seoul National University Hospital. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease

The objectives of this study were to develop a hydrologic simulation model to estimate surface drainage for irrigation districtsconsisting of paddy and protected cultivation, and to evaluate the applicability of the developed model. The model consists of threesub-models; agricultural supply, paddy block drainage, and protected cultivation runoff. The model simulates daily total drainage asthe sum of paddy field drainage, irrigation canal drainage, and protected cultivation runoff at the outlets

Some Arabidopsis thaliana AUXIN/INDOLE ACETIC ACIDs (Aux/IAAs) were predicted to have two ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR–associated Amphiphilic Repression (EAR) motifs which would be involved in repression of auxin responses by interacting with TOPLESS (TPL)/TPL-Related (TPR) corepressors. However, the function of the 2nd EAR motif and any distinctive functions of two EAR motifs have remained to be characterized. Here, we analyzed the biological and molecular function of two EAR motifs of IAA7 by usin

Recasting Nick’s role in the assessment of The Great Gatsby’s nativist and racist ideology mainly espoused by Tom Buchanan, this paper seeks to make further contributions to the plethora of new historicist criticisms that examine the function of race in this novel. This paper claims that Tom’s professed racism and the crisis of “whiteness” as embodied in Daisy, are shared, even if covertly, by the unusually reticent Nick, which intimates a silent complicity. I also show that Nick’s racial anxiet

Background: We examined the prevalence and clinical characteristics of aspirin resistance in the Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: We studied 181 Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were taking aspirin (100 mg/day for ≥ 3 months) and no other antiplatelet agents. The VerifyNow System was used to determine aspirin responsiveness. Aspirin resistance was defined as an aspirin reaction unit (ARU) ≥ 550. We measured the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and ankle-b

The aim of this study was to investigate chemical characteristic of livestock compost in association with livestock manure types(poultry, cattle, swine, and mixed manure). The livestock compost was collected from local nonghyup branches on a si-gun level. Chemical composition (nutrients, heavy metals etc.) of the samples was analyzed and Pearson's correlation analysis was performed. Quality of most compost samples met the standard of fertilizer specifications. Poultry compost contains greater nu

Herein we report a redox-active metal-organic framework (MOF) via post-synthetic cation exchange with tris(2,2′-biprydine) ruthenium(II) complex (Ru(bpy)32+). A porous anionic zinc-adeninate framework (bMOF-100) is spacious enough to easily entrap 2.43 of Ru(bpy)32+ cations within the mesopore. The encapsulation supported the framework structure preventing any distortion from a rapid solvent evaporation under SEM observation. Ru(bpy)32+@bMOF-100 was then immobilized on the surface of glassy carb

이 연구에서는 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 과학탐구실험 교과서의 탐구 활동에서 나타난 참탐구 요소를 분석하였다. 탐 구 활동을 핵심 개념에 따라 분류한 후, 학생이 자율적으로 참탐구 요소를 계획하거나 실행하도록 한 사례의 특징을 조사하였다. 연 구 결과, 참탐구 요소 중 다른 자료 조사하기 요소는 모든 단원에서 높은 비율로 나타났다. 그러나 연구 질문 만들기, 변수 선택 하기, 다양한 변수 측정하기, 측정값 변환하기 요소는 미리 안내되거나 구조화된 경우가 많아 역사 및 생활 속의 과학 탐구 단원의 일부 탐구 주제에서만 주로 나타났다. 간단한 또는 복잡한 변인 통제하기, 방해 변수 측정하기, 과정상 결함 고려하기 요소는 교 과서에서 고려하지 않거나 명시적으로 언급하지 않은 경우가 많아 모든 단원에서 낮은 비율로 나타났다. 생활 속의 과학 탐구 단 원의 참탐구 요소는 소집단 활동을 통하여 다루어지는 경향이 있었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 과학탐구실험 교과서 탐구 활동의 개선 방안을 논의

This paper examines Du Boisian critique of American exceptionalism through a close textual analysis of his writings from early essays to later works. As an attempt to respond to the persistent grip American exceptionalism has on both the academia and the intellectual world at large,this paper tries to fill in the gaps within the discourse of American exceptionalism by exploring the works of one of the most towering American intellectual figures, and suggests that the discourse of American except

이 연구에서는 초등학교에서 환경교육을 효과적으로 실시하기 위한 기초 연구로서 초등학교 교사들의 환경교육에 대한 요구를 조사하였다. 연구 대상은 충청남도 지역의 초등학교 교사 113명이었다. 환경교육 요구 검사의 20문항을 사용하 여 5단계 리커트 척도로 교사들에게 제시하였고, 환경교육 연수 영역의 문항에 대해서는 현장 연수와 원격 연수 중 선호하 는 방식에 대한 질문도 제시하였다. 대부분의 문항에서 교사들의 요구는 높았으나, 환경교육 수업에 직접 적용될 수 있는 지 원 분야나 연수 내용에 대한 문항에서 특히 요구가 높았다. 교사들은 현장 연수보다 원격 연수를 선호하였으나 지역 내 비 형식적 환경교육 장소의 사용, 환경교육 현장 학습 장소의 개발과 사용, 환경교육 교수 전략 등의 문항에서는 현장 연수의 선호도가 상대적으로 높게 나타났다.

The objective of this study was to estimate surface runoff from rice paddy plots using an artificial neural network (ANN). A field experiment with three treatment levels was conducted in the NICS saemangum experimental field located in Iksan, Korea. The ANN model with the optimal network architectures, named Paddy1901 with 19 input nodes, 1 hidden layer with 16 neurons nodes, and 1output node, was adopted to predict surface runoff from the plots. The model consisted of 7 parameters of precipitat

Paule Marshall's Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959) was published in an era defined by the landmark decision Brown vs. Education (1954). Desegregation marks a specific difference in the kind of neighborhood the Boyces inhabit, despite the fact that there was considerable residential segregation after Brown. However, Marshall implies that signs of desegregation accompany signs of resegregation. Rather than portraying Silla's migration from Barbados to urban, modern America as a heroic overcoming of s

This paper closely examines the textual representations of ‘blackness’ in Korean military camptown (gijichon) literature from 1950’s to 1980’s, and argues that the animalistic portrayals and almost compulsive bestialization of blacks reveal an attempted hierarchization of Koreans above blacks with an underlying belief in white supremacy in coming to terms with Korean postcolonial subjectivity. Going against the grain of nationalist readings of gijichon literature, which largely celebrate its res

Historicizing the space of ‘home’ in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, this paper joins the recent critical efforts to challenge a major strand in Hurston scholarship that reads Their Eyes as “ahistorical” and “mythical.” Rather than seeing Hurston’s South as depicted in Their Eyes as isolated from the modernity of the times, this paper argues that the various spaces of ‘home’ that Janie occupies in the novel—Nanny’s house, Logan’s “stump in the middle of the woods,” Joe’s “big
