Since the construction of Pohang New Port, the problems of the low harbor tranquility caused by decreasing port operation rate has been continuously reported. In order to improve the harbor tranquility, a detached breakwater (DB) has been constructed outside the outer breakwater of Pohang New Port in 2018~2020. In this study, the effectiveness of the DB was proved by comparing the reduction rates of wave heights that were observed before and after the construction of the DB. First, the observed data were compared with the numerical model results available from a previous study, and the model data showed reasonable agreement with measured data at 3 out of 4 locations inside the port. The discrepancy in one of the locations was because the model could not accurately calculated the effect of wave interference in the inner corner of the port. The observation data showed excellent results that the number of waves that exceeded 0.3 m, the critical value to reach desired harbor tranquility, was significantly reduced after the construction of the DB. In addition, the reduction rate, the ratio of wave heights between outside and inside of the port, was decreased after the DB construction, which proved that properly designed coastal structures such as DB in this study could be effective in improving the port tranquility. The results of this study can be usefully applied for solving problems in similar cases.

Soil moisture data have been collected at 11 agrometeorological stations operated by The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). This study aimed to verify the accuracy of soil moisture data of KMA and develop a correction formula to be applied to improve their quality. The soil of the observation field was sampled to analyze its physical properties that affect soil water content. Soil texture was classified to be sandy loam and loamy sand at most sites. The bulk density of the soil samples was about 1.5 g/cm³ on average. The content of silt and clay was also closely related to bulk density and water holding capacity. The EnviroSCAN model, which was used as a reference sensor, was calibrated using the self-manufactured "reference soil moisture observation system". Comparison between the calibrated reference sensor and the field sensor of KMA was conducted at least three times at each of the 11 sites. Overall, the trend of fluctuations over time in the measured values of the two sensors appeared similar. Still, there were sites where the latter had relatively lower soil moisture values than the former. A linear correction formula was derived for each site and depth using the range and average of the observed data for the given period. This correction formula resulted in an improvement in agreement between sensor values at the Suwon site. In addition, the detailed approach was developed to estimate the correction value for the period in which a correction formula was not calculated. In summary, the correction of soil moisture data at a regular time interval, e.g., twice a year, would be recommended for all observation sites to improve the quality of soil moisture observation data.

For the management of rivers, the target water quality is set by establishing the total amount of water pollution and water environment basic plan. For Geumho river T-P has achieved the target water quality, but for BOD, COD, TOC the target water quality of the water environment basic plan has been exceed for the past five years. Therefore, the flow rate for satisfying the target water quality was simulated by analyzing the load, load density, and pollution contribution rate of the Geumho river using BOD, COD, TOC and by utilizing QUAL-MEV a one-dimensional water quality model. According to the analysis of the load, the BOD, COD and TOC all showed the highest levels at the Geumho C point at 9,832.2 kg/day 20,656.6 kg/day, and 15,545.1 kg/day. The load density was highest at 9.47 kg/day/㎢, 37.55 kg/day/㎢, 30.20 kg/day/㎢, and 17.19 kg/day/㎢, 39.14 kg/day/㎢ in Dalseocheon stream during the wet seasons and dry seasons. Pollution contribution rate was highest at about 25 percent for Palgeocheon stream during the wet season and about 50 percent for Dalseocheon stream during the dry season. In addition, the correlation analysis between organic materials showed in the main stream and tributaty of the Geumho river that COD-TOC was 0.8 or higherthan BOD-COD and BOD-TOC in both the wet seasons and dry seasons. And after surveying the total amount of water pollution and the target quality of the water environment basic plan at Geumho C, it was analyzed that an additional flow tate of 14 times and 22 times was needed as of April 2019 (3.46 ㎥/sec).

In this paper, we present two types of vision algorithm that mobile robot has CCD camera. for obstacle avoidance. This is simple algorithm that compare with grey level from input images. Also, The mobile robot depend on image processing and move command from PC host. we has been studied self controlled mobile robot system with CCD camera. This system consists of digital signal processor, step motor, RF module and CCD camera. we used wireless RF module for movable command transmitting between robot and host PC. This robot go straight until recognize obstacle from input image that preprocessed by edge detection, converting, thresholding. And it could avoid the obstacle when recognize obstacle by line histogram intensity. Host PC measurement wave from various line histogram each 20 pixel. This histogram is (x, y) value of pixel. For example, first line histogram intensity wave from (0, 0) to (0, 197) and last wave from (280, 0) to (2n, 197. So we find uniform wave region and nonuniform wave region. The period of uniform wave is obstacle region. we guess that algorithm is very useful about moving robot for obstacle avoidance.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective surgical procedure for treating drug refractory movement disorders, and DBS involves delivering high frequency electrical stimulation to deep brain nuclei. Microelectrode recording (MER) is a complementary test that can precisely identify the location of deep brain nuclei, along with MRI correlation, during DBS surgery to improve the surgical outcome and minimize side effects. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the neuro-physiological waveforms and identify the usefulness of MER by analyzing the MER performed during DBS surgery for treating movement disorders. We retrospectively reviewed 28 patients who underwent MER during DBS surgery for movement disorders from January to December 2018. Of the 28 patients, 38 MERs for the subthalamic nucleus (STN), 10 MERs for the globuspallidusinternus (Gpi), and 4 MERs for the ventral intermediate thalamic nucleus (VIM) were performed. In all the cases, the target sites were found and micro-stimulations were used to check for side effects and to readjust the target sites. The clinical symptoms of all 28 patients improved after surgery. In conclusion, MER is a useful test that employs neuro-physiological waveforms to accurately identify the deep brain nuclei, along with MRI correlation, to improve the DBS surgical outcomes for movement disorders and to minimize side effects.

This study aims to test presence of spatial autocorrelation of burn severity in Uljin and Youngduk areas burned in 2011. SPOT satellite images were used to compute the NDVI representing burn severity, and NDVI values were sampled for 5,000 randomly dispersed points for each site. Spatial autocorrelations of sampled NDVI values were analyzed with Moran's I and Variogram models. Moran's I values of burn severity in Uljin and Youngduk areas were 0.7745 and 0.7968, respectively, indicating presence of strong spatial autocorrelations. On the basis of Variogram and changes of Moran's I values by lag class, ideal sampling distance were proposed, which were 566-2,151 m for Uljin and 272-402 m for Youngduk. It was recommended to apply these ranges of sampling distance in flexible corresponding to Anisotropic characteristics of burned areas.

Lidar-based hazard avoidance landing system for lunar lander calculates hazard cost with respect to the desired local landing area in order to identify hazard and designate safe landing point where the cost is minimum basically using slope and roughness of the landing area. In this case, if the parameters are only considered, chosen landing target can be designated near hazard threatening the lander. In order to solve this problem and select optimal safe landing point, hazard cost based on relative distance to hazard should not be considered as well as cost based on terrain parameters. In this paper, the effect of hazard cost based on relative distance to hazard on safe landing performance was analyzed and it was confirmed that landing site designation with two relative distances to hazard results in the best safe landing performance by an experiment using three-dimensional depth camera.

산업안전보건법에 따르면 결함수 분석기법(Fault Tree Analysis, FTA)은 주로, 설계 또는 운전단계에 있는 공정 위험성 평가 시 사고의 발생빈도와 예상사고 시나리오를 추정하는데 적용되어왔다. 따라서 일반적인 결함수 분석에서 정상 사상은 시스템 자체의 사용불능을 야기하는 가장 큰 원인을 의미한다. 그러나 상수도의 유지관리를 위해 FTA를 적용한 경우 정상 사상은 일반적인 FTA에서의 정상 사상과는 다르게 정의되어야 한다. 즉, 용수공급의 경우 관망 전체에 영향을 미치는 정상 사상이란 수원지의 오염이나, 수원지에서 직접적으로 나오는 관로에 문제가 생겼다거나 하는 사건을 의미하므로, 이러한 방식의 정상 사건 정의는 관망의 관로 및 절점에서 발생되는 문제를 분석하기 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 관망의 특정 지점에 용수공급이 원활하게 되지 않는 경우를 FTA의 정상사상으로 정의하였다. 또한, 개개의 관로 노후도 평가 점수와 FTA를 이용하여 관망의 특정 절점에 용수를 공급하기 위한 관로들의 노후도 평가 평균 점수를 산출하였다. 개발한 프로그램에서는 평균 노후도 평가 점수를 산출하기 위해서, 특정 절점 값을 입력 받고 각 파이프와 그로 인해 생기는 고립구간(세그먼트 + 비의도적 고립구간) 에 포함되는 절점들의 관계를 나타낸 자료를 이용하여 파이프에 문제가 생길 시 단수되는 절점을 역으로 검색해서 각 파이프의 노후도 평가 점수를 산술평균 하였다. 본 연구에서는 특정지점에 용수 공급이 원활하지 못 한 정상사상에 대하여 관로의 수리 또는 교체를 해야 하는 구간을 찾아 노후도 평가 점수를 산정하는 것이 목표이다. 이를 위해 특정 절점에 용수를 공급하기 위하여 지나가는 관로들에 대해서 평균 점수를 구함으로써, 절점에 용수가 원활히 공급 될 가능성을 산정하여 FTA와 관로 노후도 평가 점수를 이용하고 특정 절점에 용수를 공급하기 위하여 지나가는 관로들에 대해서 평균 점수를 산정하였다. 절점에서 용수를 공급하는 중요도에 따라 절점으로 이어지는 관로의 평균 노후도를 일정 점수 이하로 유지시키는 방법을 이용함으로써 관로의 유지관리 필요성에 대해 지표로써 사용할 수 있다.

최근 전 세계적으로 지구온난화로 인한 집중호우, 가뭄, 태풍 등 자연재해가 빈번하게 일어나고 있다. 이에 2016년 유엔기후변화협약당사국총회(COP22)에서는 지구온난화의 심각성을 인식하고, 한국의 2030년 온실가스 배출 전망치(BAU) 대비 37% 감축 달성과 같이 국가별로 온실가스 감축 목표를 선정하였다. 이를 달성하기 위해 국내에서는 현재까지 사용되지 않았던 자연에너지원의 활용이 부각되고 있으며, 특히 미활용에너지 중 하천수의 온도차에너지가 활발히 논의되고 있다. 하지만 미활용에너지 활용에 앞서 에너지원으로의 적정성 분석이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 5대강 중 한강권역을 대상으로 하천수 온도차에너지의 부존량 또는 이용가능량을 산정하고자 하였다. 한강본류 6개 하천유지유량 고시지점을 대상으로 해당 지점의 30년간(1987~2016년) 유량자료를 이용하여 유황 및 계절별 유량변동 특성을 분석하였고, 부존량 및 이용가능량을 검토하였다. 부존량 및 이용가능량 분석을 위해서는 선행 연구에서 적용된 하천유지유량, 하천수사용허가량 및 용수수요량 등을 고려한 산정식을 적용하였다. 본 연구는 미활용에너지인 하천수 온도차에너지의 실제 이용가능량을 분석하여 새로운 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있는지 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천수 온도차에너지의 온실가스 감축을 위한 화석에너지의 대체에너지로서 새로운 가능성을 평가하는 지표가 될 것이라 기대된다. 또한 하천수 온도차에너지의 실제적인 적용을 위해서는 추후 연구를 통해 생태계 등 환경에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 설치 및 유지비용에 따른 경제성 평가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Positioning systems have been actively researched and developed over the past few years and have been used in many applications. This paper presents a method to determine a location in a large space using a sensor system consisting of an accelerometer and a single-axis gyroscope. In particular, to consider usability, a sensor device was loosely worn on the waist so that the experimental data could be used in practical applications. Based on the experimental results of circular tracks with radiuses of 1m and 3m, in this paper, an algorithm using the threshold of rotation angle was proposed and applied to the experimental results. A tracking experiment was performed on the grid-pattern track model. For raw sensor data, the average deviation between the final tracking point and the target point was approximately 15.2 m, which could be reduced to approximately 4.0 m using an algorithm applying the rotation angle threshold.
