Statistical analysis was performed on the patients who took bone densitometry using Lunar and Hologic equipments for 5 months from January $1^{st}$ 2010 to May $30^{st}$, 2010. Patients consisted of 50 in their 40s, 100 in 50s and 50 in 60s. In addition, the results from bone densitometry were carried out on the same subject with two equipments on the same day. In case of 200 subjects, who received the bone densitometry with two equipments, the average age was 54.5 and 54.4 years old, respectively. There was no difference. The T- score of Lunar equipment was $-1.377{\pm}1.221$ and that of Hologic equipment was $-1.806{\pm}1.123$. The T-score of Lunar equipment was measured higher than that of Hologic equipment. T-test was conducted to determine the equality of the mean of two groups with 200 patients. Since the pvalue was 0.000, the value of bone mineral density was significant in two equipments. Furthermore, the patients, who were diagnosed by Lunar, showed more 'normal' and who were diagnosed by Hologic, showed more osteoporosis, which cartegorized by WHO, such as normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. Thus, compared results of bone densitometry on lumbar spine L1 - L4 of four normal people with the same equipment showed that T- score of Lunar equipment was $-0.4{\pm}1.2$, and T- score of Hologic equipment was $-1.1{\pm}1.5$. It showed the higher T- score was measured in Lunar equipment as well. Therefore, the correction factor should be considered to use, since T- scores are different between two equipments.

사면에서 발생되는 강우유출과정에 기여하는 대공극의 영향은 그 중요성에도 불구하고 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 특히 대공극의 공간적분포특상에 대한 현장측정은 이뤄지지 않았다. 본 연구의 실험지역은 경기도 포천시 광릉수목원에 있는 작은 소유역이다. 이 지역의 정밀한 측량을 하여 수치고도모형(DEM)을 얻었다. 이 수치고도모형을 바탕으로 수치지형분석을 통해 흐름선을 파악하여 총 20지점을 선정하였다. 각 지점에서의 대공극을 통한 수직적인 유동들은 장력침투계를 사용하여 지표면아래 깊이 10cm에서 측정하였다. 공간적 토양의 특성분포를 파악하기 위해 각 지점에서의 체적밀도와 점토함량을 조사하였다. 토양수분의 공간적 분포 특성은 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)방식인 TRASE를 이용하여 토양수분 값을 얻었다. 이러한 다양한 공간적 특성들은 대공극발달의 공간적 분포특성을 파악하는 중요자료가 된다. 소유역을 크게 기여사면 면적을 기준으로 상부, 중부, 하부로 나누어 대공극의 유효 공극율과 대공극흐름율을 계산하였다. 상부에서의 유효 대공극율의 평균값과 변동계수는 각각 4.3%, 42.1%이고, 대공극흐름율의 평균값과 변동계수는 각각 45.0%, 26.6%이다. 중부에서는 유효 대공극율의 평균값과 변동계수는 6.8%, 37.3%이고, 대공극흐름율의 평균값과 변동계수는 56.2%, 14.4% 이다. 그리고 하부에서의 유효공극율의 평균값과 변동계수는 12.5%, 58.3% 이고 대공극흐름율의 평균값과 변동계수는 64.5%, 24%이다. 이는 유효 대공극율과 대공극흐름율의 비율은 기여사면 면적이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 이는 대공극을 통한 물 이송 능력이 원두부로 갈수록 증가한다는 것을 보여주고 있다.e, taurine, methionine, phenylalanine은 함량(含量)이 적었다. 5. 일건(日乾)중 총유리아미노산의 변화(變化)는 생시료(生試料)의 경우 2,041.2 mg%였으나 1일(日) 건조(乾燥) 후는 1,784.0 mg%로 감소(減少)하다가 그 이후 계속 증가(增加)하여 20일(日) 건조(乾燥) 후는 5,277.0 mg%였다. 6. 일건(日乾)중 leucine, isoleucine, valine은 대체로 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었으나 aspartic acid, proline, taurine은 대체로 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다. 436.59mg%로 가장 많았고 군유산(軍有山) 차엽(茶葉)이 146.94mg%로 가장 적었으며 일반차엽(一般茶葉)의 평균치(平均値)는 264.59mg%, 용장(龍欌) 차엽(茶葉)이 223.10mg%, Yabukita 차엽(茶葉)이 256.49mg%였다. 7) 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)를 종합(綜合)할 때 용장(龍欌) 차엽(茶葉)은 일반차엽(一般茶葉)과 형질(形質) 뿐만 아니라, 성분(成分)도 다르므로 품종(品種)이 다른 수종(樹種)으로 추정(推定)되며 와운(臥雲) 차엽(茶葉)은 일반차엽(一般茶葉)과 형질(形質)은 다르나 성분상(成分上)의 비슷한 점으로 보아 동일계통(同一系統)의 변이(變異)된 대엽종(大葉種)으로 추정(推定)된다.5(${\pm}0.77$0.77) % 의 오차로 크게 감소하였다. 결론: 방사선이 통과하는 경로에 불균질조직인 폐가 존재할 경우에도 불균질조직에 대하여 조직의 밀도를 이용하여 보정하는 방법을 사용하여 투과선량으로부터 종양선량을 계산할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.X>로 평균$43.26{\m

수문학적 토양유형은 복잡하게 세분되어 있는 토양의 종류를 수문학적인 목적에 따라 단순화하기 위해 만든 것으로 미농무성 토양보전국에서 고안한 개념이다. 우리나라 토양을 이 방법으로 구분하고자 하는 몇번의 시도가 있으며 그 중 대표적인 것이 정 등(1995)이 분류한 수문학적 토양군이다. 이는 토양의 침투 투수특성에 대한 실측자료가 부족한 우리나라의 실정을 감안하여 토성속(textural family), 배수등급(drainage class), 불투수층(impermeable layer), 투수성(permeability)의 네가지 토양특성을 분류특성으로 하여 각각에 1-4점 범위로 점수를 매긴 후 합산한 점수를 기준으로 수문학적 토양유형을 분류하는 것이다. 최근에는 토양의 한계침투속도에 따라 수문학적 토양유형을 분류하고자 하는 시도가 있으며 본 논문에서는 새로운 방법으로 분류할 때 기존의 방법과 어떠한 차이가 있는지 비교하고자 하였다. 정 등(1995)의 분류방법은 개념상 몇가지 문제점을 안고 있다. 먼저 토양의 수리특성은 같은 토성속이라 하여도 토양생성 과정과 토지이용 방법에 따라 그 차이가 매우 큼에도 불구하고 이에 대해 고려하지 못하였으며 다음으로 지표유거가 많아 배수가 양호한 토양의 강우 유출을 과소평가한다. 또한 얕은 토심에 존재하는 불투수층이 존재하는 경우 토양의 수리특성에 관계없이 적은 양의 강우에도 유출이 발생하므로 별도의 제한인자로 간주하여야 한다. 토양의 한계 침투속도를 이용한 분류방법은 이러한 문제점을 상당 부분 개선할 수 있다. 토양의 한계침투속도를 산정하기 위해 현장에서 지표 한계침투속도와 투수속도를 측정하였으며 이 자료를 확장하여 해석하기 위해 입자특성을 이용한 Pedo Transfer Function을 개발하였다. 토심 50 cm 포화시 토양 투수성을 한계 침투속도로 가정하였으며 50 cm 이내에 암반층과 지하수위가 존재할 경우 투수성에 관계없이 D유형으로 분류하였다. 새로운 방법으로 분류한 결과 기존의 분류와 몇가지 차이점이 발견되었다. 가장 큰 차이는 대부분의 논토양이 느린 한계침투속도의 영향으로 D유형에 속한 것이다. 산림토양과 밭토양은 기존 방법과 마찬가지로 A, B유형이 많았으며 암반층을 고려하기 전에는 기존 분류에 비해 강우 유출 가능성이 적은 쪽으로 평가되었다. 그러나 암반층이 존재하는 토양을 고려한 결과 A 또는 B 유형에 속하던 상당수의 산림토양이 새로운 분류에서 D유형으로 분류되었다. 지표 유거가 많아 배수등급이 매우양호로 분류되던 토양은 정 등(1995)의 분류와 비교하여 대부분 강우 유출 가능성이 큰 쪽으로 조정되었다. 새로운 수문학적 토양유형을 이용할 경우 낮은 토심에서 암반층이 발견되는 산림토양이 분포한 유역이나 산림, 밭 등에 식질 토양이 많이 분포하는 유역에서는 기존의 방법을 이용하는 것보다 강우 유출량이 높게 평가될 것으로 판단된다. 앞으로 강우 유출량 실측자료와의 비교를 통해 지속적인 보정을 하여야 할 것이며 특히 불투수층의 존재시 일괄적으로 D유형으로 분류된 토양의 경우 깊이에 따라 C 또는 D 유형으로 세분하여 조정할 필요가 있다.

Since future climate scenarios indicate that extreme precipitation events will intensity, probable maximum precipitations (PMPs) without being taken climate change into account are very likely to be underestimated. In this study future PMPs in accordance with the variation of future rainfall are estimated. The hydro-meteorologic method is used to calculate PMPs. The orographic transposition factor is applied in place of the conventional terrain impact factor which has been used in previous PMPs estimation reports. Future DADs are indirectly obtained by using bias-correction and moving-averaged changing factor method based on daily precipitation projection under KMA RCM (HEDGEM3-RA) RCP 8.5 climate change scenario. As a result, future PMPs were found to increase and the spatially-averaged annual PMPs increase rate in 4-hour and $25km^2$ was projected to be 3 mm by 2045. In addition, the increased rate of future PMPs is growing increasingly in the future, but it is thought that the uncertainty of estimating PMPs caused by future precipitation projections is also increased in the distant future.

The impact of the combination of changes in temperature and rainfall due to climate change on surface water resources is important in hydro-meteorological research. In this study, 4 hydro-meteorological (HM) models from the Rainfall Runoff Library in the Catchment Modeling Toolkit were used to model the impact of climate change on runoff in streams for 5 river basins in the Republic of Korea. Future projections from 2021 to 2040 (2030s), 2051 to 2070 (2060s) and 2081 to 2099 (2090s), were derived from 12 General Circulation Models (GCMs) and 3 representative concentration pathways (RCPs). GCM outputs were statistically adjusted and downscaled using Long-Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS-WG) and the HM models were well calibrated and verified for the period from 1999 to 2009. The study showed that there is substantial spatial, temporal and HM uncertainty in the future runoff shown by the interquartile range, range and coefficient of variation. In summary, the aggregated runoff will increase in the future by 10~24%, 7~30% and 11~30% of the respective baseline runoff for the RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. This study presents a method to model future stream-flow taking into account the HM model and climate based uncertainty.

In this paper, we have constructed high-resolution topographical map of macro-tidal Malipo beach through integration of terrestrial LiDAR measurement and MBES survey data at inter-tidal zone. To acquire the enough information of inter-tidal zone, we have done terrestrial LiDAR measurement mounted on the roof of vehicle with DGPS through go-stop-scan method at the ebb tide and MBES depth surveying with tide gauge and eye staff measurement for tide correction and MSL calculation at the high tide all together. To integrate two kinds of data, we have unified the vertical coordination standard to Incheon MSL. The mean error of overlapped inter-tidal zone is about 2~6 cm. To verify the accuracy of terrestrial LiDAR, RTK-DGPS measurement have done simultaneously and the difference of Z value RMSE is about 4~7 cm. The resolution of Malipo topographical map is 50 cm and it has constructed to DEM (Digital Elevation Model) based on GIS. Now it has used as an input topography information for the storm-surge inundation prediction models. Also it will be possible to use monitoring of beach process through the long-term periodic measurement and GIS-based 3D spatial analysis calculating the erosion and deposition considering with the artificial beach transition and coastal environmental parameters.

Conventional fingerprint powders used during crime scene investigations pose potential health hazards. Thus, multiple natural replacement powders, including squid ink powder, indigo and rice powder were used to develop (visualize) latent fingerprints on non-porous surfaces (e.g., glass, plastic and tile). Fingerprints developed using the natural powders were compared using the Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) with those developed with traditional black powder. The peak areas of ridges were also compared using densitometric image analyses. Collectively, objective and quantitative evaluation methods were developed. The effectiveness of natural powders varied depending on the surface but, in general, squid ink powder performed well on most surfaces. Indigo powder performed well on tile surfaces, while rice powder performed well on glass surfaces. Plastic was the most difficult surface from which to develop fingerprints. Image analysis using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) demonstrated the importance of the size and shape of natural powder particles to properly adhere to the ridges. Although densitometric image analyses did not correlate the number of minutiae and ridge peak areas, an unbiased, objective evaluation method would be possible using image analyses with a reference image. Additional experimentation will yield safe and cost-effective natural powders with which adequate fingerprint development can be performed.

This paper introduces the development of global fringe search (GFS) software for preprocessing of Daejeon Correlator. In case of the VLBI observation, a observer conducts the observation for the reference sources with strong and point-like radio stars on schedule in order to confirm the well-observedness of the radio source by the radio telescope. The correlator performs the correlation for the reference sources to detect the fringe completely. We developed the GFS software by calculating the precise delay time between each observatory based on specific observatory. Then, this software calculates the precise delay time by using the delay model (correlator model) of reference source and information of time offset between the Hydrogen Maser frequency standard and GPS (Global Positioning System) clock located in each observatory through the correlation preprocessing. In order to confirm the performance of the developed software, experiments were carried out for the reference sources and target sources observed by the KaVA (KVN and VERA Array). Experimental results show that the GFS software has effectively good performance by finding the precise delay time offset according to the comparison between the compensated delay time offset and one without compensation.

Genetic change from broodstock to hatchery stock of the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus and effective number of breeders (Ne) were investigated by the different fertilized-egg collecting methods; E1 (eggs collected one day after spawning) and E2 (eggs collected two days after spawning) using seven microsatellite loci (Kop2, Kop22, Kop18, Kop3, Kop21, Kop9 and Kop26) for the better understanding of stock enhancement. Observed heterozygosity in three stocks ranged from 0.651 at Kop3 to 0.928 at Kop22, with offspring being slightly higher heterozygous over their parents. However, the genetic reduction of offspring was significant. The offspring allele number per locus was reduced to 23.5% for E1 and 17.6% for E2 of their maternal number. Ne to the hatchery stock was estimated to be 21.9 for E1 and 34.3 for E2. The inbreeding coefficients of populations El and E2 were 0.023 and 0.015, respectively. The present study suggests the extension of the egg collection period for a recovery of the genetic diversity in artificially produced offspring.

Despite the close linkage in changes between the ecological and hydrological processes in forest ecosystems, an integrative approach has not been incorporated successfully. In this study, based on the vegetation and hydrologic data of the Gwangneung headwater catchment with the Geographic Information System, we attempted such an integrated approach by employing the Regional Hydro-Ecologic Simulation System (RHESSys). To accomplish this, we have (1) constructed the input data for RHESSys, (2) developed an integrated calibration system that enables to consider both ecological and hydrological processes simultaneously, and (3) performed sensitivity analysis to estimate the optimum parameters. Our sensitivity analyses on six soil parameters that affect streamflow patterns and peak flow show that the decay parameter of horizontal saturated hydraulic conductivity $(s_1)$ and porosity decay by depth (PD) had the highest sensitivity. The optimization of these two parameters to estimate the optimum streamflow variation resulted in a prediction accuracy of 0.75 in terms of Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSec). These results provide an important basis for future evaluation and mapping of the watershed-scale soil moisture and evapotranspiration in forest ecosystems of Korea.
