Purpose: Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common type of seizure in children between 6 months to 5 years of age. A family history of febrile seizures can increase the risk a child will have a FS. Yet, prevalence of FS regarding external environment has not been clearly proved. This study attempts to determine the association between prevalence of FS and weather. Methods: This study included medical records from the Korea National Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Data were collected from 29,240 children, born after 2004, diagnosed with FS who were admitted to one of the hospitals in Seoul, Korea, between January 2009 and December 2013. During the corresponding time period, data from the Korea Meteorological Administration on daily monitoring of four meteorological factors (sea-level pressure, amount of precipitation, humidity and temperature) were collected. The relationships of FS prevalence and each meteorological factor will be designed using Poisson generalized additive model (GAM). Also, the contributory effect of viral infections on FS prevalence and weather will be discussed. Results: The amount of precipitation was divided into two groups for comparison: one with less than 5 mm and the other with equal to or more than 5 mm. As a result of Poisson GAM, higher prevalence of FS showed a correlation with smaller amount of precipitation. Smoothing function was used to classify the relationships between three variables (sea-level pressure, humidity, and temperature) and prevalence of FS. FS prevalence was correlated with lower sea-level pressure and lower humidity. FS prevalence was high in two temperature ranges (-7 to $-1^{\circ}C$ and $18-21^{\circ}C$). Conclusion: Low sea-level pressure, small amount of precipitation, and low relative air humidity may increase FS prevalence risk.

This study examined relationship between the major five crimes(murder, robbery, rape, theft and violence) and elements of meteorological change(weather, temperature, precipitation, wind velocity and humidity). Elements of meteoro logical change corresponding to the date recorded by a meteorological office and the number of occurrences from January $1^{st}$ 2010 to October $19^{th}$ 2012 collected from major portal sites were used for this study. Based on this data, SPSS 12.0 was utilized to analyze relationship between crimes and elements of meteorological change, allowing us to find out relationship between crimes and elements of meteorological change. This analysis finding is sure to pave the way for research of this field.

Due to the development of the digital technology, the digital broadcasting is changing to a multi-entertainment platform that can operate data (broadcasting) services (such as games, weather information, and stock trading services) as well as traditional broadcasting contents. Most of the data services, however, failed to get satisfactory results because of the inconvenience in operating the services using a TV remote controller and the failure of gaining the viewer's interests in the competition with the broadcasting contents. The paper introduces a survey on the viewer's modality of using a data service and, based on the survey result, proposes a design guideline that makes a data service minimally interrupt a viewer watching a broadcasting content.

Price prediction is essential to decisions of investment and shipment in oak mushroom cultivation. But predicting the prices of oak mushroom is very difficult because there are so many uncertain factors affecting the demand and the supply in the market. The Box-Jenkins methodology is one of strong tools in price prediction especially for the short-term using historical observations of time series. In this paper, the Box-Jenkins methodology is applied to find a model to forecast future oak mushroom prices. And out-of-sample test was conducted to check out the prediction accuracy. The result shows the high accuracy except for market disturbance period affected by unexpected weather change and reveals the usefulness of the model.

태양광 발전에 있어서 실제 태양광 셀 특성은 날씨와 같은 환경 요인에 의존적이기 때문에 다양한 동작 조건에 대한 태양광 셀의 특성을 전력변환장치를 통해 테스트하기 위해 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Power Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (PHILS) 기술을 이용해 태양광 발전용 전력변환장치 시제품의 테스트 시간 및 비용을 단축할 수 있다. PHILS는 실시간 모의시험장치와 외부 입력이 가능한 전력변환장치로 구성되며, 해당 장치에서 모델의 동특성을 실시간으로 연산하기 때문에 모델이 복잡할수록 고성능 모의시험장치가 요구된다. 태양광 셀 모델의 출력 전압은 수치해석 기법을 통해 계산되고, 수치해석 기법의 종류와 초기 값에 따라 연산 시간 등의 성능이 변화하므로 적절한 기법을 선정하여 모델의 연산시간을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수치 해법 분석을 통한 태양광 발전의 PHILS를 위한 태양광 셀 모델의 연산 성능향상 기법을 제시하고, 실제 태양광 발전용 PHILS를 구현하여 실험적으로 제안하는 기법의 성능을 검증한다.

수치모형을 활용하여 하천 흐름을 해석하기 위해서는 하도의 형태를 나타내는 지형자료가 요구되며, 주흐름 방향에 직각 방향으로의 횡단면도는 다량의 자료가 필요하다. 측량을 통한 횡단면도의 확보는 시간과 비용이 많이 소요될 뿐 아니라 날씨와 같은 외부적 요인에 따라 측량 결과물의 정확도가 달라질 수 있다. 또한 하천의 유속이 매우 빠를 때에는 정확도 높은 횡단 측량자료를 얻기는 불가능하며 접근이 어려운 지역이나 중소규모의 하천 측량자료는 구축되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 이에 따라 위성영상과 수치표고모델(Digital Elevation Model, DEM)에 기반하여 하천구역과 하도의 특성을 정의하는 방법이 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천지형 측량자료가 존재하는 섬진강댐부터 오수천 합류전까지를 대상으로 가상하도 생성기법을 적용하고, 1차원 하천흐름해석을 수행하여 가상하도 구축방안의 유효성을 검토하고자 하였다. 위성영상 자료를 활용하여 하천구역을 정의하였으며 DEM에서 추출된 표고에 기반하여 제방고와 횡단면도를 구축하였다. 구축된 횡단면도와 실단면 비교시, DEM 표고 및 하천구역 정의 지점의 정확도에 따라 제방고가 달라지는 것으로 나타났으며, 홍수터에 대한 고려가 포함되지 않아 실단면과 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 확인된다. 구축한 지형자료를 1차원 하천흐름해석 모형인 K-River에 적용하였으며, 상류단 경계조건으로는 섬진강댐 방류량을 하류단 경계조건으로는 등류조건을 적용하였다. 구축영역 내 존재하는 지류의 유입량은 측방유입으로 고려하였다. 수치모의 결과로부터 구축된 횡단면의 최심고와 실단면의 최심고가 유사한 지점에서는 수위재현성이 양호한 것으로 확인되었다.

Traffic regulations are expanding to prevent traffic accidents for people's safety, but traffic accidents are not decreasing. In this study, the probability of traffic accidents occurring at a specific time and place is estimated by analyzing various factors such as weather forecast data from the Meteorological Agency, day of the week, time of day, location data, and location information. This study combines objective data on the occurrence of numerous previous traffic accidents with various additional elements not considered in previous studies to derive a more improved traffic accident probability prediction model. The results of this study can be effectively used for various transportation-related services for the safety of people.

Due to the digital technology, the TV broadcasting platform is evolving to the digital-TV, which is supporting data broadcasting service. Although the data broadcasting services (i.e., games, wether information, stock trading service) provide rich entertainment to viewers, they make the operation manners of digital-TV so complex that some viewers feel difficulty in using their TV sets. Several researches have been performed to address the problem by improving the functions of EPG such as searching and reserving programs, applying gesture and voice recognition technologies to operating EPG, guiding the design of the EPG's user interface, and developing agents helping EPG to behave intelligently. A research, however, that tries to address the problem that viewers have different familiarities with IT services has not been performed yet. The paper tackles the problem by letting a viewer to choose an EPG configuration (among the several EPG configurations provided by a broadcasting network) and designing an EPG that implements an EPG configuration based on the choice.

End-uses of household water have been influenced by a housing type, life style and housing area which are considered as internal factors. Also, there are external factors such as water rate, weather and water supply facilities. Analysis of influential factors on water consumption in households would give an explanation on the cause of changing trends and would help predicting the water demand of end-use in household. In this paper, we used real data to predict toilet and laundry water-uses and utilized the linear regression model with autoregressive errors. The results showed that the monthly autoregressive error models explained about 71% for describing the water demand of end-use in toilet and laundry water-uses.

Recently, users of bicycles as a green mode are rising sharply, but there are few efforts to increase bicycle safety and to decrease the number of accidents between vehicles and bicycle users. Therefore, this research seeks to improve bicycle safety at intersections by analysing causation factors of bicycle accidents pattern and providing optimal intersection design guidelines. For this study, real bicycle accident data of fifty six occurred in the Incheon metropolitan area in the year of 2005 were collected and field surveys were conducted. In addition, this research developed a bicycle accident pattern model with using multinomial logit model. The model results showed that presence of fatality, presence of traffic islands on the minor road, highway_type, weather, presence of traffic bus_stop on the major road, minor road lane width, victim induce factor are significant for bicycle safety.
