Understanding the airflow characteristics within the canopy structure installed between closely adjacent tunnels either for light adaptation or for protection from snow hazards is required for the normal ventilation as well as safety system design. Grade, horizontal alignment, cross-sectional area and shape are known to substantially influence the fire smoke behavior and their influences raise great concern for the safety design. This paper aims at studying the effects of tunnel geometrical characteristics and canopy installation on the ventilation and fire propagation through CFD analysis. In the case of 145m long canopy, 50% opening ratio is preferred with respect to the airflow pattern and ventilation efficiency. When a 20MW fire occurs in a 1.8km-long tunnel and four 1250mm reversible jet fans are instantly turned on, smoke concentration at 40m downstream of the fire decrease 13% for the upgrade tunnel with 2% gradient and increases 20% for -2% gradient, compared to the standard horizontal tunnel. Backlayering is observed within 45m-long segment toward the entrance in 2% down-graded tunnel. In a rectangular tunnel, there is no significant difference of smoke concentration as well as velocity profile from the standard crown tunnel. Three-laned tunnel shows lower level of both profiles and backlayering is detected up to 50m upstream of the fire, while the risky situation rapidly disappears thereafter.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contribution of $^{18}$ F-FDG brain PET in the differentiating Idiopathic parkinson's diesease (IPD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). We studied 24 patients with parkinsonism : 8 patients (mean age 67.9$\pm$10.7 y: M/F : 3/5) with IPD, 9 patients (57.9$\pm$9.2 y : M/F : 4/5) with MSA and 7 patients (67.6$\pm$4.8 y : M/F 3/4) with PSP. All patients with parkinsonism and 22 age-matched normal controls underwent $^{18}$ F FDG PET in 3D mode after the injection of 370 MBq $^{118}$ F FDG. The patients with IPD, MSh and PSP were compared with a normal control group by a two-sided t-test of SPM99 (uncorrected P<0.001, extent threshold>100 voxel). All three parkinsonism groups, showed significant hypometabolism in the cerebral neocortex compared to the normal control group. However, the three groups displayed different metabolism in the subcortical structure, brain stem, and cerebellum. In IPD, there was no significant hypometabolism in the putamen, brain stem and cerebellum. However, MSA patients showed significant hypometabolism in the striatum, pons, and cerebellum compared to the normal controls and IPD patients. In addition, PSP showed significant hypometabolism in the caudate nuclei, the thalamus, midbrain, and the cingulate gyrus compared to the normal controls, the IPD, and MSA groups (IPD vs Normal sensitivity/specificity : 75%/l00%, MSA vs Normal sensitivity/specificity :100%/87%, PSP vs Normal sensitivity/specificity : 86%/94%). Our results show that the regional metabolism of IPD, MSA, and PSP is different mainly in the striatum, thalamus, brain stem and cerebellum. An assessment of the $^{18}$ F-FDG PET scan images using SPM may be a useful adjunct to a clinical examination in making a differential diagnosis of Parkinsonism.

아시아 지역은 전 세계 인구의 60%가 집중되어 있으며, 지역 내에는 다양한 기후대가 혼재되어 있다. 통상, 기후대는 지역의 전반적인 기후 및 가용 수자원 특성을 파악하는데 유용하게 활용된다. 지구온난화의 영향으로 지역의 기후변동성은 심화되고 있으며, 이는 급격한 기후대 이동을 초래할 것으로 전망된다. 본 연구에서는 AR6 기후변화시나리오를 기반으로 전지구 기온상승에 따른 아시아 지역의 기후대 변화특성을 분석하였다. CMIP6 GCMs 및 공유사회경제경로(SSP1-2.6 및 SSP5-8.5) 시나리오를 활용하여 앙상블 기후변화시나리오를 산출하였다. 관측 및 시나리오 자료를 활용하여 산업화 이전 대비 미래 전지구 기온상승(1.5℃~5.0℃) 특성을 추정하였다. 통계적상세화 기법을 적용하여 기후변화시나리오를 상세화하고, 쾨펜 기후구분법을 적용하여 기후특성에 따라 기후대를 구분하였다. 이후, 개별 전지구 기온상승 조건 하에서 아시아 지역의 기후대 분포 및 변화특성을 분석하였다. 전지구 기온이 상승함에 따라 아시아 지역 전반에서 기후대 변화가 가속화되는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 모든 SSPs 및 GCMs 시나리오 하에서 동일하였다. 전지구 기온 상승폭은 SSP1-2.6 대비 SSP5-8.5 시나리오 하에서 크게 나타났으며, 동일한 1.5℃ 및 2.0℃ 기온상승 조건에 도달하는 시기도 SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 현저히 빠른 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 기후대 이동이 나타나는 지역은 전지구 기온이 상승함에 따라 증가하였으며 5.0℃ (SSP5-8.5) 기온상승 조건 하에서 변화량이 가장 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 다만, 동일한 기온상승 조건 하에서는 SSP 시나리오와 관계없이 기후대 변화 면적 및 공간적 변화패턴이 유사하였다. 기온상승에 따라 아시아 지역 내 열대기후와 건조기후 지역은 확대되는 반면, 온대 및 한랭, 극기후 지역은 줄어들 것으로 전망되었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 전지구 기온상승 조건 별 아시아 지역의 미래 기후대 변화특성은 지역별 기후변화 영향평가 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

This study presents a software full setup and the following test execution times in a Linux cluster for the United Kingdom Earth System Model (UKESM) and then compares the model results from control and experimental simulations of the UKESM relative to various observations. Despite its low resolution, the latest version of the UKESM can simulate tropospheric chemistry-aerosol processes and the stratospheric ozone chemistry using the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol (UKCA) module. The UKESM with UKCA (UKESM-UKCA) can treat atmospheric chemistryaerosol-cloud-radiation interactions throughout the whole atmosphere. In addition to the control UKESM run with the default CMIP5 SO₂ emission dataset, an experimental run was conducted to evaluate the aerosol effects on meteorology by changing atmospheric SO₂ loading with the newest REAS data over East Asia. The simulation period of the two model runs was 28 years, from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 2009. Spatial distributions of monthly mean aerosol optical depth, 2-m temperature, and precipitation intensity from model simulations and observations over East Asia were compared. The spatial patterns of surface temperature and precipitation from the two model simulations were generally in reasonable agreement with the observations. The simulated ozone concentration and total column ozone also agreed reasonably with the ERA5 reanalyzed one. Comparisons of spatial patterns and linear trends led to the conclusion that the model simulation with the newest SO₂ emission dataset over East Asia showed better temporal changes in temperature and precipitation over the western Pacific and inland China. Our results are in line with previous finding that SO₂ emissions over East Asia are an important factor for the atmospheric environment and climate change. This study confirms that the UKESM can be installed and operated in a Linux cluster-computing environment. Thus, researchers in various fields would have better access to the UKESM, which can handle the carbon cycle and atmospheric environment on Earth with interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land.

This study began with the fact that the relationship between eductional environments and housing price needs to be understood in the context of the structuring of socio-spatial disparity. In other words, this paper focuses on the fact that the eduction with public features and functions plays a role of housing price determination and the rising price is privatized only to cause socio-spatial inequality. The study first examines how the education factors determine the housing price and cause increasing social inequality in Seoul at the macro level. It also carried out more detailed quantitative analysis on the relationship between educational environment factors and housing price with the case study of Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. This study found out that the close relationship between educational environment, housing price and social disparity at various spatial scales. It also figured out the the educational environment factors play an important role of housing price determination as much as material features per se. This means that the relationship between education, housing price and inequality needs to be dealt with not just socially but also in spatial perspective. In addition, the housing price determination is not just technical research but an social science issue in the context of rising socio-spatial disparity. This study is of only significance as a starting point of promising related researches in the future and much more efforts will be needed.

Algorithm which can analyze the slope failure behavior utilizing the comprehensive information of the dense point of joint poles and the joint set orientations, both of which are obtained statistically, and the defect pattern of pole distribution has been developed. This method overcomes the potential incorrectness of the hemispheric projection method utilizing the joint set orientations only and also enhances the reliability of slope failure analysis. To this end a method capable of calculating the joint dispersion index directly from the joint pole distribution, instead of contour map, has been devised. The representative orientations for the slope failure analysis has been determined by considering the number and orientations of cone angle-dependent joint sets as well as the joint dispersion index. By engaging these representative orientations to the hemispheric projection analysis more reliable slope failure examination has been carried out. Sensitivity analysis for the potentially unstable slope of plane failure mode has been performed. Significance of joint strength index and the external seismic loading on the slope stability has been fully analyzed.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 시공간적으로 매우 불규칙한 강우가 발생하고 있으며, 홍수피해 및 극심한 가뭄으로 수자원개발 및 관리 환경이 더욱 어려워지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 우리나라는 하천수사용허가 기준유량의 원천이 되는 강수량의 계절별 편차가 매우 크고 연 강수량의 2/3 이상이 여름철에 집중된다. 하천수사용허가 기준유량은 하천유지유량이 고시되지 않은 지점은 10년 빈도의 갈수량인 기준갈수량과 같고, 하천유지유량이 고시된 지점은 기준갈수량에서 하천유지유량을 감한 양이다. 하지만 하천 유량의 변동성이 계절에 따라 매우 큼에도 불구하고 갈수기의 한정적인 기준갈수량으로 연중 전 기간의 하천수사용허가 기준유량을 설정하면 가용한 하천수량을 과소 산정할 우려가 있다. 따라서 계절성을 고려하여 기간에 맞는 기준갈수량을 산정하는 것이 안정적인 하천수의 사용과 하천관리에 필요한 유량을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.본 연구에서는 효율적인 하천수사용허가 기준유량을 검토하기 위해 지역별 계절성을 고려한 갈수량 검토를 실시하였다. 갈수량 산정을 위한 자연유량은 TANK모형을 이용하여 우리나라 112개 중권역에 대해 50년 간 일별 자연유량을 모의하였다. 모의된 자연유량을 바탕으로 112개 중권역에 대해 유황분석을 실시하여 평균갈수량과 기준갈수량을 검토하였으며, 계절별 갈수량을 검토하기 위해 기간을 여름철(5~10월)과 겨울철(11~4월) 두 개의 시기로 구분하여 여름과 겨울 갈수량을 산정하였다. 또한, 계절성 분석을 위해 세 가지 계절성 지표를 검토하였다. 첫째, 여름과 겨울 갈수량의 비율인 SR(Seasonality Ratio), 둘째, 갈수량의 평균시기를 나타내는 주기적 계절성 지수 SI(Seasonality Index), 셋째, 갈수량의 월간 분포를 나타내는 SH(Seasonality Histogram)이다. 이러한 계절성 지표를 바탕으로 공간적 패턴을 분석하고 여름과 겨울 갈수량의 기초가 되는 수문학적 근거를 판단하였다. 따라서 유역의 계절성 지표를 바탕으로 기간을 분리하고 기간별 갈수량 검토를 통해 보다 효율적인 하천수사용허가 기준유량을 검토할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The culture industry is viewed as a driving industry in the 21th century. Korea has experienced the rapid growth rate of the cultural industry in terms of sale amounts for the period of 2004-2009. The purposes of this study are to analyze the spatial pattern of the cultural industry and to empirically examine the effect of municipalities' cultural industries on regional economy using SUR model. The major findings are as follows: First, cultural industries are concentrated in the capital region and several metropolitan areas. Secondly, the estimated result of SUR model shows that there is inter-relationship between cultural industry and regional economy. The effect of the cultural industry on GRDP is that the cultural industry increased 1%, GRDP increased by 0.46%. In turn, GRDP increased 1%, cultural industry increased by 0.75%. Thirdly, the elasticity of the cultural industry on GRDP is much higher than that of labor or capital stock, showing that the cultural industry has a more powerful influence on its regional economy. Fourth, the elasticity of the cultural industry on GRDP of Gun is higher than that of shi, indicating that it is rational for Gun to develop strategies to promote competitive power of the cultural Industry for regional economic growth.

In the ocean, it is difficult to separate the effects of one cause due to the multiple causes, but the self-organizing map can be analyzed by adding other factors to the cluster result. Therefore, in this study, the results of the clustering of sea level data were applied to sea surface temperature. Sea level data was clustered into a total of 6 nodes. The difference between sea surface temperature and sea level height has a one-month delay, which applied sea surface temperature data a month ago to the clustered results. As a result of comparing the mean of sea surface temperature of 140 to 150°E, where the sea surface temperature was variously distributed, in the case of nodes 1, 3, and 5, it was possible to find a meandering sea surface temperature distribution that is clearly distinguished from the sea level data. While nodes 2, 4 and 6, the sea surface temperature distribution was smooth. In this study, sea surface temperature data were applied to the clustered results of sea level data, but later it is necessary to apply wind or geostrophic velocity data to compare.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) meteorological drought and RDI (Reservoir Drought Index) agricultural drought for Geum river basin. Drought Indices was calculated by collecting data of precipitation and agricultural reservoir water storage rate from 2014 to 2016. To evaluated the correlation between meteorological and agricultural drought, the Pearson correlation and the Receiver Operation Characteristic (ROC) analysis were conducted to evaluate the correlation between meteorological and agricultural droughts. The SPI-6 and RDI showed the highest relationship with Pearson coefficient 0.606 and ROC hit rates 0.722 respectively, and the spatial occurrence patterns of drought using overlapped SPI-6 and RDI, the big differences between the 2 indices were occurred in the upstream areas of Miho stream and Nonsan stream from August to October 2015. The analysis using reservoirs specifications for areas where reservoir droughts occurred was conducted, and the areas showing severe drought of RDI were the reservoir areas having relatively small value of basin magnifying power (BMP). This means that a reservoir has the reaction capability for agricultural drought mainly depending on the reservoir BMP.
