A simplified mathematical model to estimate changes in total acidity of Chinese cabbage kimchi during fermentation was developed as a function of temperature and salt concentration. Assuming that tolerable acceptability reached at 0.75% total acidity, the shelf-life of kimchi was predicted by the model. The predicted value was in good agreement with the actual shelf-life measured by organoleptic tests.

This study has been conducted for the long-term riverbed change prediction on Geum River and Miho Stream surrounding the planned Multifunctional Administrative City and the neighboring regions by the construction of a small dam. Based on the analysis of vertical riverbed changes of the cross-sectional data for the years 1988, 2002 and 2007, minimum bed elevation significantly decreased in both Geum River and Miho Stream in 2007 as compared to 1988. Compared to 2002, however, a slight elevation change was observed. To make a long-term prediction on riverbed changes by the construction of a small dam, a one dimensional HEC-RAS 4.0 model has been used. By the fixed bed model test, the water levels were calibrated. By using the cross-sectional data of 1988 and 2002, verification was conducted under a movable bed model. According to the prediction of riverbed changes for each scenario with varying height of small dam, minor impact is expected around Miho Stream while major impact is expected around Geum River by 2017, as the small dam height increases. If the small dam is 7m-high, for example, it's been simulated that 1.59m deposition would be expected around the upper stream of Miho Stream Confluence while 1.98m scour would be expected around the downstream of the small dam.

Purpose: The number of patients with dyslipidemia have been increasing steadily over the past few decades in South Korea. The association between the chromium level and chronic disease has attracted considerable interest, but few studies have been conducted on the Korean population. The aim of this study was to identify the dietary and non-dietary correlates of the toenail chromium level, and evaluate the association between the toenail chromium level and dyslipidemia. Methods: The baseline data of an ongoing prospective cohort study in Yeungnam area in South Korea were analyzed. A total of 500 participants aged 35 years or older who completed questionnaires on their demographics, lifestyle characteristics, and medical information were included. The toenail chromium level was analyzed by neutron activation analysis. The dietary intake was assessed using a validated 146-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The blood lipid profiles were obtained from medical examinations conducted by the Korean National Health Insurance Service or medical institutions. Results: Higher chromium levels were associated with the residential area (urban), higher education level, higher intakes of noodles and vegetables, and lower intake of fruits. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the toenail chromium levels were not associated significantly with the prevalence of dyslipidemia (odds ratio: 0.99, 95% confidence interval: 0.61 ~ 1.60). Conclusion: This study is the first study in Korea to determine the independent correlates of the toenail chromium levels and the association between chromium exposure and dyslipidemia. These findings provide useful scientific evidence for the development of chromium intake guidelines for the Korean population.

InVEST Water Yield model developed by Natural Capital Project was applied for South Korea to assess domestic forest ecosystem's water provisioning services. The InVEST Water Yield model required 8 input dataset, including six spatial map data and two derived by coefficients. By running the model with relatively easy acquired and modified data, the result of domestic forest ecosystem's water provisioning services was 9,409,622,083 ton using the standard of the year 2011. The result showed similar patterns and distribution of rainfall in 2011, but showed difference when compared with existing researches spatially driven in nationwide statistical analysis results. This difference is assumed to occur with different model mechanism in spatial implementation and statistical analysis. So given that the model is currently still developing, applications should be taken on qualitative perspectives rather than on quantitative perspectives. Additionally, for advancing the application of InVEST water yield model, quantification of suitable input data and comparison using multi-modeling is required.

This study was aimed to make GIS oiling thematic maps and analyze temporal oiling variation patterns for two months after 'Hebei Spirit' oil spill accident in December 7, 2007 using GIS and oiling status surveyed data. As a basic work for making of oiling thematic maps, geometric corrections were performed with IKONOS images using ground control points data. These corrected images were used to make detailed coastline from digital charts, and then spatial unit of coastline were defined using classified coastline types. And to know the representative parameters which reflect oiling situation, relationship between oiling status parameters extracted from four times oiling assessment reports and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) data (December 2007 and January 2008) monitored by Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI). Using these representative oiling status parameters pollution value were calculated, and they were keyed into spatial unit of coastline as attributive value. GIS oiling status thematic maps made with coastline containing pollution value showed the initial two month's situations somewhat well. Also, to analyze temporal variation pattern of coastline types, about 13.4km length coastline around Malripo beach was defined as detailed study area where is the common spatial zone surveyed oiling status by each organizations. Based on this study results, it could be possible to provide oiling status maps quickly and to support decision making for oiling control action and scientific pollution monitoring.

This paper introduces the development of imaging luminance meter which measures the luminances of external/internal road tunnel. The developed imaging luminance meter complies with both L20 method and Veiling luminance method of the international standards, CIE88. In this paper the L20 method is mainly presented because most of tunnels currently adapt L20 method. The developed system has an embedded computer to operate at stand-alone. The system has a ethernet port, a heater, a fan, a defroster, a wiper and sun shielder. Compensation algorithm is applied for correcting non-linear responses to the luminance and integration time. The accuracy of measurement is less than 1% when it calibrated at the public certification institute. The developed system was also tested at the real field, road tunnel. The test results were very similar with the reference luminance meter and showed that the developed system operates well at the real field. Partial sensor saturations were happened to show the less luminance, because there were the high reflecting objects in the real field. Further study should be followed for high luminance measurement.

In order to obtain a fine picture, a camera has many convenient functions. Its representative functions are Auto Focus(AF), Auto White Balance(AWB) and Auto Exposure(AE). In this paper, we present the new algorithm of Auto Exposure control system, one of its useful functions The proposed algorithm of Auto Exposure control system is based on IIR Filter with Variable Time Constant. First, in order to establish the standards of exposure control, we compare change of the picture luminance with luminance of an object in the Zone system. Second, we make an ideal characteristic graph of luminance by using the results. Finally, we can find the value of the right exposure by comparing an ideal characteristic graph of the luminance with the value of the current expose of a scene. We can find an appropriate exposure as comparing the ideal characteristic graph of the luminance with current exposure of a scene. In order to find a suitable exposure state, we make use of IIR Filter instead of a conventional method using micro-controller. In this paper, the proposed system has therefore simple structure, we use it for compact image sensor module used in the handheld device.

강우가 지역별 계절별로 편중되어 있는 우리나라는 수자원의 안정적인 확보와 이용을 위해 다양한 형태의 댐을 건설하여 운영하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 댐건설을 통해 형성된 저수지들은 탁수 장기화 및 녹조 발생 등의 환경, 생태적인 문제를 겪고 있으며, 그에 따른 사회적 우려로 인해 신규댐 건설을 통한 수자원확보는 더 이상 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 문제에 대응하기 위한 대안으로 기존 댐 저수지들(안동호-임하호)의 구조적 연계운영방안이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 2차원 CE-QUAL-W2모형을 활용하여 안동호와 임하호의 구조적 연결에 따른 탁수의 이동과 각 저수지 내에서의 유동 변화를 해석하는데 있다. 저수지 연계 시나리오는 EL. 138 m 위치에 길이 2 km, 직경 5.5 m 의 콘크리트관(마찰계수 0.05)이 안동호 좌안인 임동면 마리와 임하호 우안 망천리를 연결하는 것으로 가정하였다. 모델의 보정은 실측자료가 풍부한 2006년도 수문사상을 대상으로, 개별 저수지에 대해 수행하였고, 탁수 유동 시나리오 해석은 임하호에 심각한 탁수장기화 문제가 발생했던 2002년을 대상으로 댐 연계 탁수모의를 수행하였다. 안동호와 임하호의 댐 앞에서 모의값과 실측값을 오차를 분석한 결과 탁수예측오차는 AME 0.5~24 mg/L, RMSE 0.7~30.2mg/L의 범위로 비교적 실측값을 잘 반영한 것으로 나타났다. 임하댐의 경우 탁수층의 위치와 두께, 그리고 최고 탁도값을 적절히 재현 하였지만, 안동댐은 최고 탁도값 예측에서 다소 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 안동호와 임하호 단독 운영시와 연계 운영시의 탁수변화 파악을 위해 초기 홍수사상이 발생한 8월 이후부터 저수지내의 TSS농도 분포를 비교하였다. 안동호의 경우 댐앞지점의 탁수분포는 수온성층구조에 영향을 받아, 단독 운영시(EL. 130 m)보다 연계운영시(EL. 140 m)에 탁수의 중심이 높은 위치에 형성되었다. 단독 운영시 10월 이후에 전도현상으로 인해 침강되지 않은 잔류 탁수층이 저수지 하부로 확산되었지만, 연계 운영시에는 재부상 되어 상층으로 확산되는 것으로 모의되었다. 또한 연계운영시 유량이동으로 인해 안동호의 탁수 댐앞 도달시간이 짧아지는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 임하호는 연계 운영시 안동댐으로 유출이 생기면서 중층에서 탁수량이 저감되는 것으로 모의되었다. 저수지 내 탁수량 분석을 위해 SS 15 mg/L 이상의 잔류 탁수량을 분석한 결과, 연계운영시 안동호의 평균 잔류탁수량 비율은 11.8% 증가, 임하호의 경우 11.7% 감소하였다. 또한, 탁수의 댐하류 방류일수도 SS 15 mg/L 기준 임하호 9일 저감, 안동호는 70일 증가하여 임하호의 탁수가 안동호의 탁수 장기화에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

도심지에서의 침수피해는 이상홍수 및 국지성 호우 시 우수관거 시설기준 미달, 펌프장 등 배수시설이 설치되지 않아 하천의 계획홍수위보다 제내지의 지반고가 낮은 저지대 지역에서 많이 발생하고 있다. 특히, 내수침수의 경우는 외수에 따른 범람보다는 국민의 재산과 인명피해에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로 침수피해 위험도가 높은 지역의 주민에게 그 지역의 침수빈도와 범위를 인지시키고 사전대응 능력을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 따라서 연구의 목적으로 매년 피해가 발생한 이력이 있는 위험지구에 대해 전국단위 시군구별 침수피해 지도를 작성하여 침수심 산정과 피해액 예측할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용하고, 주민들의 신속한 대처를 통해 그들의 생명과 재산을 보호하여 재난 안전 국가 이미지 제고에 기여하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 도심지 유출모형인 XP-SWMM을 활용하여 내수재해 위험요인에 대한 전국을 해석하는 것에 한계가 있어 풍수해저감종합계획에 수록된 XP-SWMM모의 분석 결과 값을 활용하고자 하였다. 기 수립된 전국 풍수해저감종합계획의 과거 피해 자료를 바탕으로 이상 집중호우나 태풍의 내습 시 풍수해 피해 발생 가능성이 제일 높은 지역을 연구범위 대상지역으로 선정하였다. 그 중 풍수해의 주요 원인으로서 태풍, 집중호우 및 해일로 인한 피해발생 빈도가 높은 지역이면서 하천재해 및 내수침수 피해가 많은 경기도 동두천시를 연구대상 지역으로 선정하였으며, 대상지 유역 현황과 지형정보 및 빈도별 침수심을 조사하였다. 수록된 내용에 따르면 경기도 동두천시는 우수관망의 밀도가 높은 4개 위험지구를 내수재해 발생가능성 지역으로 선정하여 10년, 20년, 30년, 50년, 100년, 200년 6개 빈도에 대해 XP-SWMM 모의를 실시하였다. 이와 같이 수록된 각 빈도에 대한 모의 결과 값을 GIS기술을 이용하여 디지털화 하고 부가적인 분석을 위한 GIS데이터화 하는 내삽법을 선정하여 침수면적 및 침수심을 산출하였다. 그러나 면적비교를 통해 모의 결과 값을 디지털화 하는 과정에서 많은 오차가 발생되는 것을 확인하였고, 이를 보완하기 위해 좌표보정 자동화 프로그램을 개발하여 이러한 문제점을 제거하여 신뢰도를 향상시켰다. 이렇게 계산된 연구 대상지역의 침수심과 침수면적을 활용하여 지도제작 표준 지침서 및 가이드라인을 제시하여 한국형 호우피해 지도제작 기술개발에 기여하고, 비구조적 대책으로서 이상홍수에 대한 위험도를 파악하여 지역별 도심침수 방지를 위한 대비체계를 구축하는 등 위험지역에 대한 사전분석 및 활용에 기초자료로 도움이 되고자 한다.

GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) AMI (Advanced Meteorological Imager) Best Detector Select (BDS) map is pre-determined and uploaded before the satellite launch. After the launch, there is some possibility of a detector performance change driven by an abrupt temperature variation and thus the status of BDS map needs to be evaluated and updated if necessary. To investigate performance of entire elements of the detectors, AMI BDS analyses were conducted based on a technical note provided from the AMI vendor (L3HARRIS). The concept of the BDS analysis is to investigate the stability of signals from detectors while they are staring at targets (deep space and internal calibration target). For this purpose, Long Time Series (LTS) and Output Voltage vs. Bias Voltage (V-V) methods are used. The LTS for 30 secs and the V-V for two secs are spanned respectively for looking at the targets to compute noise components of detectors. To get the necessary data sets, these activities were conducted during the In-Orbit Test (IOT) period since a normal operation of AMI is stopped and special mission plans are commanded. With collected data sets during the GK2A IOT, AMI BDS map was intensively examined. It was found that about 1% of entire detector elements, which were evaluated at the ground test, showed characteristic changes and those degraded elements are replaced by alternative best ones. The stripping effects on AMI raw images due to the BDS problem were clearly removed when the new BDS map was applied.
