Fine fuel moisture code (FFMC), a main component of forest fire weather index(FWI) in the Canadian forest fire danger rating system(CFFDRS), indicated a probability of ignition through expecting a dryness of fine fuels. According to this code, a rising of temperature and wind velocity, a decreasing of precipitation and decline of humidity in a weather condition showed a rising of a danger rate for the forest fire. In this study, we analyzed a weather condition during 5 years in Kangwon province, calculated a FFMC and examined an application of FFMC. Very low humidity and little precipitation was a characteristic during spring and fall fire season in Kangwon province. 75% of forest fires during 5 years occurred in this season and especially 90% of forest fire during fire season occurred in spring. For developing of the prediction model for a forest fire occurrence probability, we used a logistic regression function with forest fire occurrence data and classified mean FFMC during 10 days. Accuracy of a developed model was 63.6%. To improve this model, we need to deal with more meteorological data during overall seasons and to associate a meteorological condition with a forest fire occurrence with more research results.

최근 Human 지놈 프로젝트를 포함한 다양한 종의 지놈 프로젝트가 수행되고 수많은 지놈정보가 생산되고 있으며 이를 해석하고 서로 연관성를 찾기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 즉 최신 생명공학과 관련된 연구방향이 DNA의 구조적 해석에서 기능 해석과 유전자들의 상호연관성을 규명하는 방향으로 변화하고 있으며 이를 위한 강력한 도구로서 DNA microarray (DNA chip)는 방대한 양의 지놈 정보를 이용하여 단시간에 대량으로 고속처리하여 효율적으로 유전자 기능을 분석할 수 있는 주목받고 있는 방법이다. DNA microarray 실험과 분석에 있어 데이터분석, 재현성, 종간의 비교, 확인실험 및 비용 등의 문제가 있지만 유전자발현양상 데이터로부터 정확한 환자의 예후를 예측할 수 있는 비교적 적은 유전자 그룹의 진단마커를 찾거나, 하나의 유전자가 아니라 mouse 전체 지놈의 유전자발현 패턴을 인간의 암을 위시한 각종 질병 연구를 위한 발현 신호나 변화 등을 발견하여 신약개발 등에 활용하고자 하는 시도가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 서로 다른 종간에 비슷한 phenotype의 유전자발현도 진화적으로 보존되었다는 전제 하에서 지놈 sequence의 비교연구가 가능하고 DNA microarray 발현 데이터에 근거하여 독립적으로 각 종간의 유전자발현패턴을 비교함으로써 난치병 등을 새롭게 분류할 수 있다. 즉, 암세포 등에서 유전자발현 양상은 유전학적, 환경적 alteration들이 잘 반영되어 있다고 간주하고, 이러한 양상을 바탕으로 인간의 암을 위시한 다양한 질병 연구를 위한 최적의 mouse 모델을 찾을 수 있고, 이는 결국 새로운 치료 방법 개발이나 맞춤의학 실현에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. 특히 pathway 타겟으로 하는 치료를 위해서는 Human-mouse 비교를 통한 발현 신호를 찾는 것이 진단에서는 매우 유용한 방법이다. 이를 위한 고성능의 분석방법이나 시스템의 개발이 중요하게 된다.. 관류의 정도와 조영증강정도를 중심으로 관류 MR 영상소견과 조직학적 소견을 관련지어 분석하였다. 결과: 조영증강 T1강조MR영상에서 환상조영증강을 보이는 다형성 교보세포종 2예에서는 변연부 외륜이 고관류를, 중심부의 괴사부위는 저관류로 나타났다. 저등급 교종은 경계가 불분명한 저관류부위로 보였다. 뇌농양 2예는 변연부 외륜이 경도의 고관류를, 중심부는 저관류로 나타났다. 뇌수막종은 미만성의 균일한 중등도 혹은 고도의 고관류로 보였으며, 임파종과 배아종은 경계가 명확한 저관류부위로 나타났다. 신경세포종은 종괴\ulcorner 일부에 중등도 혹은 고도의 고관류부위가 관찰되었고, 전이암은 다수병변중 일부에서 중등도의 고관류를 보였다. 방사선괴사는 저관류부위내에 국소적 고관류부위를 보였다. 결론: 관류 MR영상은 뇌종양의 관류상태를 비교적 잘 반영하며, 조직학적 특성을 예측하는데에 도움을 주 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 뇌종야에서의 관류MR영상의 분명한 역할을 규명하기 위해서는 앞으로 더 많은 임상적 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.조증 환자의 자극성 전타액내 lactobacilli양은 peroxidase system을 함유한 세치제를 사용한 군에서 대조군에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났으나(p = 0.067) 통계학적 유의성은 없었다.같은 예에서 찾아 볼 수 있다. 첫째, 발음상으로 동사의 변화형에서 "porte[$p{\jmath}rte$](들다: 현재형), porte[$p{\jmath}rte$](과거분사형), porta[$p{\jmath}rte$](단순과거형)"등이 대립되며, 이휘 "Porto[$p{\jmath}rte$](포르토)"와도 대립된다. 둘째, 어휘적 대립 "le haut[$l{\partial}o$](위)/l'eau[lo](물)"와 형태론적 대립 "le[$l{\partial}$](정관사, 남성단수)/l

To establish the necessary safety technology in high-pressure toxic gas facilities, especially for the corrosion, which is the main causes of toxic gas accident, this study adopts and investigates the API-581 procedures developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API). And the applicability of the 8-step analytical procedures of consequence analysis in API-581 is discussed, and a method for consequence analysis in high-pressure toxic gas facilities is suggested. Based on the discussion and results, the analytical procedure is simplified as the 6 steps in total for the effective application to high-pressure toxic gas facilities: Step 1 (determination of representative material), Step 5 (determination of release type), Step 6 (determination of phase of fluid), and Step 8 (estimation of damage range) are not applied: Step 3 (estimation of total amount of release) is applied only for the inventory group concept; Step 4 (estimation of release rate) only for the gas release rate; and all of Step 2 (selection of release hole size) and Step 7 (evaluation of post-release response) are applied. In the proposed method, the generally applicable method of CCPS is adopted as alternative method for Steps 5 and 8.

Energy aware server cluster aims to reduce power consumption at maximum while keeping QoS(quality of service) as much as energy non-aware server cluster. In the existing methods of energy aware server cluster, they calculate the minimum number of active servers needed to handle current user requests and control server power mode in a fixed time interval to make only the needed servers ON. When loads change rapidly, QoS of the existing methods become degraded because they cannot increase the number of active servers so quickly. To solve this QoS problem, we classify load change situations into five types of rapid growth, growth, normal, decline, and rapid decline, and apply five different thresholds respectively in calculating the number of active servers. Also, we use a flexible scheme to adjust the above classification criterion for multi threshold, considering not only load change but also the remaining capacity of servers to handle user requests. We performed experiments with a cluster of 15 servers. A special benchmarking tool called SPECweb was used to generate load patterns with rapid change. Experimental results showed that QoS of the proposed method is improved up to the level of energy non-aware server cluster and power consumption is reduced up to about 50 percent, depending on the load pattern.

Recently, many multimedia services have emerged in Internet such as real-time and non- real time services. However, in this Internet environment, we have some limitations to satisfy each service feature. To guarantee the service features in Measurement-Based Admission Control(MBAC) based system on the flow-aware network, there is the method applying Dynamic Priority Scheduling(DPS) algorithm that gives a higher priority to an earlier incoming flow in all of the link bandwidth. This paper classifies all flows under several groups according to flow characteristics on per-flow MBAC algorithm based system. In each flow group, DPS algorithm is applied. This paper proposes two methods that are a DPS based bandwidth borrowing method and a bandwidth dynamic allocation method. The former is that if low priority class has available bandwidths, the flow of high priority class borrows the bandwidth of low priority class when high priority flow has insufficient bandwidth to connect a flow call. The later is that the each group has a minimum bandwidth and is allocated the bandwidth dynamically according to the excess rate for available bandwidth. We compare and analyze the characteristics of the two proposed methods through the simulation experiments. As the results of the experiment, the proposed methods are more effective than existing DPS based method on the packet loss and delay characteristics. Consequently the proposed two methods are very useful in various multimedia network environments.

The various errors existing in a weight measurement system in most automatic egg sorting system available in Korean poultry farms have caused a large amount of economic losses to the egg producers. The object of this study was an importance of egg measurement system by changing both the number and the arrangements of load cells to reduce measuring errors. The results obtained were summarized as follow : 1. Four arrangements of load cells were selected as follows : layout I : Conventional one load cell method layout II : One load cell located as egg moving direction layout III : Two load cells located facing each other layout IV : Two load cells located as parallel with egg moving direction 2. The results of egg weight measurement according to four arrangements (Layout I, II, III, IV) showed that the average errors were 1.1218g, 0.5953g, 0.7786g, 0.2793g respectively. This indicated that the Layout IV (measuring by 2 load cells located parallel with the egg moving direction) caused the lowest average error and the best in precision. 3. The average vibration of axis X, y, Z were resulted as $5.1937{\times}10^{-3}G$, $9.3604{\times}10^{-3}G$, and $16.8657{\times}10^{-3}G$ respectively when sorting large sized egg. This indicated that the vibration of axis-Z was relatively higher than those of axis-X, and axis-Y.

The three-dimensional eco-hydrodynamic model was applied to estimate the effect of water quality improvement by the effluent treatment of landbase-seawater culture system in the Kamak bay The computed residual currents were dominated southward flow at the northern narrow strait and eastward flow and clockwise water circulation at the mouth of the bay, strongly. The mean relative errors of DIP, DIN and COD between the simulated and observed results at 9 stations in the Kamak bay were shown 14.3％, 25.8％ and 14.4％, respectively. There were high concentrations of DIP, DIN and COD at the northwestern bay which is influenced by pollution loads. The simulations were performed using an ecosystem model under the conditions of DIP 90％, DIN 80％ and COD 60％ treatment efficiency by the ozone treatment system of landbase-seawater culture system. As a results of simulation, the improvement effects of DIP, DIN and COD are 34.4~54.0％ (average 46.4％), 0.4~25.4％(average 8.4％) and 15.6~29.4％(average 22.7％), respectively. Therefore the area of seawater quality grade I based on COD was extended in the bay.

The government announced a plan for fund support to the enterprises with high possibility of recovery and early restructuring for the enterprises with low recovery by objectifying credit assessment system. Such announcement of government could be extended to restructuring risk of middle standing enterprises with low financial soundness by establishing the basis to prepare prompt restructuring by reinforcing the basis for restructuring through capital market. This research analyzed financial soundness based on the financial evaluation of bank by selecting 10 middle standing construction companies which focused on housing business in 2019, based on such analysis result, it was confirmed that there was a high possibility of restructuring risk. This research determined that there would be a decrease in growth rate of construction industry on the whole in 2020 due to fall of economic growth rate and reinforced real estate regulation, accordingly, there's a big possibility for middle standing construction companies with paid-in capital ratio due to its low possibility of maintenance of stable credit rating. This research established KCSI assessment model by utilizing the material of a reliable research institute in order for middle standing construction companies to evade restructuring risk, and indicated risk ratio differentiated per each item through a working-level expert survey. Such research result could suggest credit risk reduction method to middle standing construction company management staffs, and prepare a basis to evade restructuring risk.

An indoor air quality index for school classrooms based on the Hazard Quotient (HQ) was developed in this study. The current index (IAQI-S) covered PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and CO₂, and breakpoints of IAQI-S were calculated using each HQ value. IAQI-S was applied to the real-time data obtained from 123 classrooms of 46 schools during November 2017 to December 2020. As a result of the comprehensive assessment, 93.1% of PM₁₀ and 94% of PM_2.5 belonged to 'good' and 'moderate', respectively. The IAQI-S based on an 8-hour predicted moving average was compared with Comprehensive Air-quality Index (CAI) and with the IAQI of a foreign reference. The IAQI-S includes CO₂ and consists of more stringent levels comparing to outdoor index (CAI).
