OPENING AN EMBASSY IN SEOUL: SOME REFLECTIONS

GORDON LONGMUIR 계명대학교 한국학연구원 2005 Acta Koreana Vol.8 No.1

Though Canada established formal diplomatic relations with the Republic of Korea in 1964, there was no embassy in Seoul until 1973. That year D. Gordon Longmuir was dispatched to Seoul to help open that embassy and serve as First Secretary and Consul, as well as Chargé d’Affaires until a resident ambassador arrived early in 1974. He stayed in Seoul until 1976. Among the more pressing duties of the embassy while he was stationed there was ensuring adequate safeguards for a nuclear reactor Korea was considering buying from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). At first Canada, somewhat distrustful of President Park Chung Hee, was uncertain whether or not to provide Park with such a nuclear power plant. However, after the ROK agreed to ratify the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, the deal was signed and Korea eventually went on to purchase a total of four Canadian-designed CANDU nuclear reactors. As a representative of the Canadian government, Longmuir was in the audience on August 15, 1974, when a disgruntled Korean-Japanese attempted to assassinate Park but shot and killed Park’s wife instead. He also watched as, under Park’s leadership, the Korean economy began its rapid march to modernization while the government resisted pressure for democratization. The embassy occasionally had to intervene on behalf of some activist Canadian missionaries who felt that urban workers were being asked to pay too heavy a price for Korea’s economic progress.

수로(水路)의 기계화(機械化) 시공(施工)의 필요성(必要性)

( Gordon P. Hawkins ) 한국농공학회 1979 韓國農工學會誌 : 전원과 자원 Vol.21 No.2

옛날에는 人力으로 水路를 만들었으나 機械의 發達 및 賃金의 上昇에 따라 機械化 施工이 經濟的으로 有利하게 되었으며 앞으로 이런 현상은 더욱 加速될 것이다. 水路의 機械施工은 굴착, 整理, 鋪裝으로 나누어지며 굴착은 水路의 斷面을 대략적인 形態로 만드는 것이고 整理는 鋪裝을 할수 있게 水路의 斜面과 바닥을 정확한 모양으로 다듬는 것이다. 整理의 精密度에 따라 鋪裝用 材料의 量이 크게 左右된다. 自動整理機는 종래의 것이 20~40mm의 表面 凹凸이 생기게 하나 現在는 6mm의 程度까지 可能하다. 現在의 自動機械는 1人의 運轉員이 1日 1,000~2,000m³까지 굴착 整理를 할수 있다. 콘크리트 鋪裝은 人力비빔으로 할때 1日 2m³/day의 量도 어렵고 로타리 믹서를 써도 20m³/day程度이나 콘크리트 뱃치 푸랜트로 하면 100~500m³day/가 가능하다. 그러나 大型 鋪裝機를 使用하면 1日 大型 水路 300~1,000m를 鋪裝할수 있다. 水路의 機械施工은 콘크리트 鋪裝 두께를 均一하게 하므로써 콘크리트 費用을 最大로 節減하며 鋪裝의 品質을 좋게한다. 水路의 機械施工外에도 많은 새로운 機械들이 使用되고 있으며 이러한 機械의 活用이 技術發展에 크게 기여하게 될 것이다.

Calcemic response to burns differs between adults and children: A review of the literature

Gordon L. Klein,Debra A. Benjamin,David N. Herndon 대한골다공증학회 2017 Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia Vol.3 No.4

Objectives: The calcemic and parathyroid hormone (PTH) responses to severe burn injury appear to differ between children and adults. In our limited studies children exhibited hypocalcemic hypoparathyroidism consistent with up-regulation of the parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) while adults did not, suggesting a developmental cutoff in cytokine-mediated up-regulation of the CaSR. This difference may be clinically important as published studies indicate that extracellular calcium (Ca) may stimulate the inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to examine the existing literature on burns to see if the differences between pediatric and adult calcemic and PTH responses to burn supported our findings providing stronger evidence to support this developmental difference. Methods: We reviewed the National Library of Medicine database using the terms burns, PTH and ionized calcium and found 9 articles from 8 different medical centers; one was eliminated due to mixing of adults and children. Results: There were 245 burn patients reported from the literature, 178 pediatric and 67 adults. The data are mostly consistent with our reported findings. Of the 10 pediatric patients with severe burns that we studied, mean ionized Ca concentration was below the lower limit of normal of 1.10 mM. The 67 adult burn patients reported in the literature had a mean blood ionized Ca concentration that was within the adult normal range or was lower than normal but with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Moreover, serum PTH concentrations were uniformly low in the 178 children in the burn literature but normal or mildly elevated in the 67 adults. Conclusions: These results support the hypothesis that the difference between pediatric and adult victims is consistent with an age-related CaSR response to cytokine stimulation and may be consistent with a lower level of inflammation in children. Ionized Ca and PTH might serve as possible therapeutic targets to lower the inflammatory response in burn victims. © 2017 The Korean Society of Osteoporosis. Publishing services by Elsevier B.V.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL NATION WELLBEING, MORE EQUAL YET MORE POLARIZED: AN ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRESS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SINCE 1990

GORDON ANDERSON,ALESSIO FARCOMENI,MARIA GRAZIA PITTAU,ROBERTO ZELLI 중앙대학교 경제연구소 2019 Journal of Economic Development Vol.44 No.1

Mounting concern regarding inadequacies of per capita GDP or GNI as a source of nation wellbeing classification and comparison lead to the employment of multidimensional approaches with attendant concerns regarding their arbitrary and complex nature. Here, based upon commonalities in multidimensional behavior of nations, feasible, less arbitrary, classification methodologies and techniques for assessing wellbeing within and between groups are proposed. Implementation in a three dimensional study of 164 countries from 1990 to 2014 in a Human Development Index (HDI) framework reveals substantive multi-dimensional growth in a slowly evolving, relatively immobile three group world exhibiting simultaneous increases in equality and polarization with a growing Lower HD class and shrinking Middle and High HD classes.

Reliability-based design optimization of time-dependent systems with stochastic degradation

Gordon J. Savage,손영갑 대한기계학회 2019 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.33 No.12

A major hurdle in the application of reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) to time-dependent systems is the continual interplay between calculating time-variant reliability (to ensure reliability policies are met) and moving the design point to optimize some objective function, such as cost, weight, size and so forth. In most cases the reliability can be obtained readily using so-called fast integration methods. However, this option is not available when certain stochastic processes are invoked to model gradual damage or deterioration. In this case, sampling methods must be used. This paper provides a novel way to obviate this inefficiency. First, a meta-model is built to relate time-variant system reliability to the entire design space (and noise space if required). A design of experiments paradigm and Monte Carlo simulation using the mechanistic model determines the corresponding system reliability accurately. A moving least-squares meta-model relates the data. Then, the optimization process to find the best design point, accesses the meta-model to quickly evaluate objectives and reliability constraints. Case-studies include a parallel Daniel’s system and a series servo control system. The meta-model approach is simple, accurate and very fast, suggesting an attractive means for RBDO of time-dependent systems.

Total Dietary Fiber and Mineral Absorption

Gordon, Dennis-T. The Korean Nutrition Society 1992 Journal of Nutrition and Health Vol.34 No.3

The consumption of foods rich in TDF should not be associated with impaired mineral absorp-tion and long-term mineral status. In surveys of populations consuming high amounts of TDF e.g Third World populations and vegetarinas gross deficiencies in mineral nutrition have not been noted. If mineral status is low among these groups it is most likely caused by the inadequacy or imbalance of the diet and not by the TDF. The key word is interaction which should be inte-rpreted in dietary imbalances that produce nut-rient deficiencies. There are no strong data to support the concept that TDF inhibits mineral absorption through a binding chelation mechanism. Limited data sug-gest that positively charged groups on polymers such as chitosan and cholestyramine will decrease iron absorption in humans and animals. Because TDF does not contain positively charged groups future research should be directed at the possible role of protein consumed along with TDF and the combination of effects on mineral nutrition Phytic acid is acknowledged as a potent chela-tor of zinc. However its association with zinc and its propensity to lower Zn bioavaiability may enhance the absorption of other elements notably copper and iron. The importance of interactions among nutrients including TDF will gain addi-tional attention in the scientific community. Soluble and insoluble dietary fiber function di-fferently in the intestine. Insoluble fibers accele-rate movement through the intestine. Soluble die-tary fibers appear to regulated blood concentra-tions of glucose and cholesterol albeit by some unknown mechanism. In creased viscosity produ-ced by the SDF in the intestine may provide an explanation of how this class of polymers affects plasma glucose cholesterol and other nutrients. Employing a double-perfusion technique in the rat we demonstrated that viscosity produced by SDF will delay transfer of zinc into the circulatory system. This delayed absorption should not be interpreted as decreased utilization. A great deal of additional research is required to prove the importance of luminaly viscosity produced by SDF on slowing nutrient absorption or regulating bllod nutrient homeostasis. Increased intake of TDF in the total human diet appears desirable. A dietary intake of 35g/day should not be considered to have a negative effect on mineral absorption. It is important to educate people that an intake of more than 35g TDF/day may cause an imbalance in the diet that can adve-rsely affect mineral utilization. Acknowledgments.

Roland Barthes' Sollers E￣crivain and the Problem of the Reception of Philippe Sollers' L'e´criture percurrente

Gordon, Alec 서울大學校 人文學硏究所 2003 人文論叢 Vol.48 No.-

본 논고를 통해 필자는 프랑스의 아방가르드 작가인 Phillipe Sollers(Phillipe Joyaux의 필명, 1936~)에 대한 Roland Barthes의 짧은 평론, Sollers E￣crivain(1979)의 영역본 출판이 Barthes의 사후에 이루어질 정도로 긴 시간이 걸린 이유에 대해서 고찰해보고자 한다. 아울러 이 문제와 관련하여 본 논고에서는 H(1984), ParadiseⅠ(1981), Paradise Ⅱ(1986)와 같이 l'e´criture percurrent(percurrent writing : 비종결 형식의 글쓰기) 형식으로 쓰여진 Sollers의 작품들에 대한 영역 작업이 아직 이루어지지 못하고 있는 이유에 대한 논의도 이루어질 것이다. 언급한 논제들에 대한 답변을 위해서는 영역 작업이 이루어진 몇 안되는 Sollers의 작품들-The Challenge(1957/66), A Strange Solitude(1959/61), The Park(1961/68), Women(1983/90), Watteau in Venice(1991/94)-의 문학적 수용에 대한 고찰과 그의 후기 아방가르드 텍스트들에 대한 영역이 아직 이루어지지 않은 이유에 대한 설명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이 두 논제들에 대한 답변을 제시하는 과정에서의 필자의 목적은 세 가지로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 첫째로 Sollers의 아방가르드 작품들에 대한 비평적 관점을 제시하고자 하며, 두 번째로 구체적 의미를 내포하지 않는 과격한 '비종결 형식의 글쓰기'로 쓰여진 Sollers의 텍스트를 다루는 데 있어 필요한 독법을 고찰해보고자 하며, 그리고 마지막으로 Sollers의 작품들을 번역하는 과정에서 직면하게 되는 여러 문제들에 대한 주의를 환기시키고자 한다. Sollers의 아방가르드 텍스트를 비평적 관점에서 살펴보았을 때 그의 '비종결 형식의 글쓰기'는 '시각적' 구두점의 생략과 엄격하게 반복되는 운율이라는 두가지 원리를 특징으로 한다. '비종결 형식의 글쓰기'는 무의식적 글쓰기, 단어의 분리, 자장가 운율, 에피퍼니, 수사적 기교, 생략, 운율적 설화법, 언어의 성징(性徵), 격언 사용, 눈에 띄지 않게 하기, 철학적 빙백 및 공상적 전환 등과 같은 형태의 여러 작문법이 혼합된 형태로 Sollers 자신이 '강화된 발화법'라고 부르는 형태의 글쓰기이다. Sollers의 작품 읽기와 관련된 필자의 입장은 반발적이거나 쉽게 흥분하지 않을 수 있는 대담한 독자들만이 그의 텍스트를 기꺼이 받아들일 수 있다는 것이다. Sollers의 자유로운 글쓰기는 즉각적인 의식적 효과를 기대하는 형태의 독법은 거부하고 있기 때문이다. 본 논고는 '비종결 형식의 글쓰기'에 따른 Sollers의 텍스트를 영어로 옮기려는 번역가들이 직면할 수 있는 딜레마에 대한 논의로 마무리된다. 논의의 요점은 번역가들은 이 경우 뚜렷한 선택의 문제를 대하게 되는데, 이는 해당 텍스트의 의미와 구문 형태 다시 말해, 텍스트의 넌센스적인 부분과 비정상적인 구문형태를 피역(被譯) 언어의 텍스트로 재생하는 의미론적 번역 방식을 다를 것인가, 아니면 최종 번역 텍스트가 그 언어로 제대로 읽혀질 수 있느냐에 중점을 두는 의사 소통 중심의 번역 방식을 다를 것인가의 문제이다.
