Songdo beach in Pohang City has suffered from bouts of beach erosion due to various reasons over many years. One of the most controversial issues is the extent of the harbor facilities effect on the beach erosion. In this study, the characteristics of erosion to Songdo beach were reanalysed using historical data and some aerial photos. Specifically, we set test cases based on the history of human modifications to the surrounding area and the topographic change around Songdo beach were investigated by 3D topographical deformation model. In the end, based on the results of these various kinds of investigation, this study found multiple causes of Songdo beach erosion.

도시 홍수, 하천 범람, 산사태와 같은 폭우와 관련된 재해는 자주 동시에 발생하며, 각 재해는 서로 다른 범위의 시간 스케일에서 강우 변동성에 민감하게 반응한다. 따라서 재해 복합화 모델링에 적합한 확률 강우 모델은 모든 유형의 재해와 관련된 모든 시간 스케일에서 강우 변동성을 잘 재현할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 5분에서 10년 사이의 시간 스케일에서 다양한 강우통계특성을 재현할 수 있는 추계학적 강우 생성기를 제안하였다. 이 모델은 우선 Randomized Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse (RBLRP) 모델을 사용하여 미세 규모의 강우량 시계열을 생성한 후, 연속된 폭풍 사이의 상관관계 구조가 유지되도록 폭풍우의 순서를 섞는다. 마지막으로, 별도의 월별 강우량 모델링 결과에 따라 월 단위로 시계열을 재배열한다. 독일 보훔에서 기록된 69년간의 5분 강우량 데이터를 사용하여 본 모형을 검증한 결과, 평균, 분산, 공분산, 왜곡도 및 강우 간헐성은 5분에서 10년에 이르는 시간 스케일에서 체계적인 편향 없이 잘 재현됨은 물론, 5분에서 3일 사이의 시간 스케일에서의 극한 강수량 값도 잘 재현음을 확인하였다. 아울러, 극한 강우 및 산사태에 큰 영향을 주는 극한 강우 발생 전 과거 7일간의 강수량도 정확히 재현되었다.

Climate departure from the past variability was projected to start in 2042 for Seoul. In order to understand the implication of climate departure in Seoul for urban agriculture, we evaluated the daily temperature for the June-September period from 2041 to 2070, which were projected by the RCP8.5 climate scenario. These data were analyzed with respect to climate extremes and their effects on growth of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum), one of the major crops in urban farming. The mean daily maximum and minimum temperatures in 2041-2070 approached to the $90^{th}$ percentile in the past 30 years (1951-1980). However, the frequency of extreme events such as heat waves and tropical nights appeared to exceed the past variability. While the departure of mean temperature might begin in or after 2040, the climate departure in the sense of extreme weather events seems already in progress. When the climate scenario data were applied to the growth and development of hot pepper, the departures of both planting date and harvest date are expected to follow those of temperature. However, the maximum duration for hot pepper cultivation, which is the number of days between the first planting and the last harvest, seems to have already deviated from the past variability.

In this study, basic data is consisted annual maximum rainfall at 56 stations that has the rainfall records more than 30years in Korea. The 14 probability distributions which has been widely used in hydrologic frequency analysis are applied to the basic data. The method of moments, method of maximum likelihood and probability weighted moments method are used to estimate the parameters. And 4-tests (chi-square test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Cramer von Mises test, probability plot correlation coefficient (PPCC) test) are used to determine the goodness of fit of probability distributions. This study emphasizes the necessity for considering the variability of the estimate of T-year event in hydrologic frequency analysis and proposes a framework for evaluating probability distribution models. The variability (or estimation error) of T-year event is used as a criterion for model evaluation as well as three goodness of fit criteria (SLSC, MLL, and AIC) in the framework. The Jackknife method plays a important role in estimating the variability. For the annual maxima of rainfall at 56 stations, the Gumble distribution is regarded as the best one among probability distribution models with two or three parameters.

In this study, we examined the interactive aspects between pitch reduction phenomena considered a universal language phenomenon and native language interference in the production of L2 intonation performed by Chinese learners of Korean. To investigate their interaction, we conducted an acoustic analysis using acoustic measures such as pitch span, pitch level, pitch dynamic quotient, skewness, and kurtosis. In addition, the correlation between text comprehension and pitch was examined. The analyzed material consisted of four Korean discourses containing five and seven sentences of varying difficulty. Seven Korean native speakers and thirty Chinese learners who differed in their Korean proficiency participated in the production test. The results, for differences by language, showed that Chinese had a more expanded pitch span, and a higher pitch level than Korean. The analysis between groups showed that at the beginner and intermediate levels, pitch reduction was prominent, i.e., their Korean was characterized by a compressed pitch span, low pitch level, and less sentence internal pitch variation. Contrariwise, the pitch use of advanced speakers was most similar to Korean native speakers. There was no significant correlation between text difficulty and pitch use. Through this study, we observed that pitch reduction was more pronounced than native language interference in the phonetic layer.

Bypass air conditioning systems are divided into three types; outdoor air bypass, mixed air bypass and return air bypass system. Among bypass air conditioning systems, a return air bypass system is more effective than other two systems because it doesn't induce unconditioned outdoor air into conditioned room. The numerical study on the bypass air conditioning system shows this system can maintain indoor RH(Relative Humidity) less than a conventional CAV (Constant Air Volume) air conditioning system by adjusting face and bypass dampers at part load. A simulator was built to compare results of a numerical experiment and those of a simulator experiment. The results of the simulator experiment was nearly same as those of the numerical experiment; when a design sensible load (the ratio of sensible load to total sensible load) was 70 percent (at this time, RSHF=0.7), indoor relative humidity (in case of both numerical experiments and simulator experiments) was maintained below 60% specified by ASHRAE STANDARD 62-1999. The bypass air conditioning system is expected to be applied to many buildings where the Percentage of latent loads or air change tate is high.

The year-to-year fluctuations of seasonal variation of sea surface temperatures (SST) in the Korea Strait are studied based on monthly SST data for more than 50 years at Mitsushima ana Okinoshima in the strait. The frequency distribution of SST has two peaks at temperatures below and above the multi-year average, but that of SST anomalies has only one peak at the zero anomaly. More than $95\%$ of the anomalies are in the range of ${\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The harmonic constansts of seasonal SST variation vary from year to year. The standard deviations of annual means, annual amplitudes, ana semi-annual amplitudes are less than $1^{\circ}C$, and those of the annual ana semi-annual phases are about $5^{\circ}$ and less than $50^{\circ}$, respectively. The SST in the Korea Strait have a tendency to decrease their amplitudes as the annual means increase. Physical mechanisms responsible for the analyzed results are discussed in this paper.

To understand the seasonal changes in the zooplankton community, we investigated their occurrence patterns and environmental factors during four seasons at 9 stations along the coast of Geumo Archipelago, Yeosu. A total of 44 taxa were sampled, with an abundance ranging from 15~$28,183inds.\;m^{-3}$, among which Noctiluca scintillans predominented. Noctiluca scintillans, Paracalaus parvus s. l., Acartia (Acartiura) omorii, Oithona spp., Aidanosagitta crassa, dedapods larvae, copepods nauplii, and copepodites were the most abundant taxa detected. Species diversity of zooplankton was high in autumn and winter, but it was relatively low in summer and spring. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) revealed significant differences in the structures of the zooplankton community among the seasons. Our results showed that the seasonal variation in zooplankton community along the coast of Guemo Archipelago, Yeosu were attributable to seasonal changes in temperature, salinity, and Chl. a concentration. Additionally, this particularly study area might have been specifically influenced by occurs of the neritic species.

This study aims to investigate the spatial randomness of fatigue crack growth rate for the friction stir welded (FSWed) 7075-T651 aluminum alloy joints. Our previous fatigue crack growth test data are adopted in this investigation. To clearly understand the spatial randomness of fatigue crack growth rate, fatigue crack growth tests were conducted under constant stress intensity factor range (SIFR) control testing. The experimental data were analyzed for two different materials-base metal (BM) and weld metal (WM)-to investigate the effects of spatial randomness of fatigue crack growth rate and material properties, the friction stir welded (FSWed) 7075-T651 aluminum alloy joints, namely weld metal (WM) and base metal (BM). The results showed that the variability, as evaluated by Weibull statistical analysis, of the WM is higher than that of the BM.

This paper probabilisticly analyses the variance of the soil parameters on kinds of soil by conducting statistical analysis through the Unified Soil Classification System. Data used are the result of soil test which the Korea National Housing Corporation conducted in 176 sites of 74 cities throughout the country during the past 13 years from 1974 to 1986. In this paper, soil parameters such as natural water contents, specific gravity of soil particle, Atterberg limits, N-values, unconfined compression strength, compression index and shear strength parameter etc., is analysed. The result of the analysis is as follows. 1) The variance in physical properties of the soil is, when compared with coefficient of variation which is statistical variable, comparatively small. 2) The shear strength parameter is proved to be about 40% and compression index is about 32%. 3) The variance in specific gravity is 0.87-2.49% in granular soil and 0.91~5.03% in cohesive soil respectively. So, the degree of the variance is very small.
