우리나라의 기후 변화(여름철 집중호우, 동절기 가뭄 등)로 인하여 과거에 비해 하천의 식생영향은 증가하는 추세이고, 하도 내 수중식생은 성장과 소멸을 반복하며 기존 수위-유량관계에 변동성을 유발하고 있다. 수중식생은 수위가 상승하는 경우(강우, 방류량 증가 등)에 일부 소멸하여 유량이 증가하고, 수위가 유지되거나 평균기온이 상승하는 경우에는 성장으로 인하여 유량이 감소하는 경향을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하도 내 수중식생의 성장과 소멸에 따른 수위-유량관계곡선식의 변화의 영향을 분석하기 위해 금호강 제1지류 자호천에 위치한 영천시(단포교)관측소를 대상으로 '18년~'21년까지의 수중식생의 성장과 소멸, 회귀하는 기간의 유량 측정 성과를 확보하고 수중식생 모니터링 자료를 수집하여, 식생영향에 따른 수위-유량관계 변화를 분석하였다. 영천시(단포교)관측소는 수중식생영향을 지속적으로 받고 있으며 단면 통제나 하도 통제가 아닌 식생통제를 고려하여 '18년~'20년까지는 식생 활착, 성장과 소멸이 진행되는 기간의 성과를 확보하였고, '21년은 저수위구간의 식생성장에서 소멸까지 점차 회귀하는 성과를 각 기간별로 확보하고 분석을 통해서 수위-유량관계 곡선식을 개발하였다. 수중식생의 성장에 따라 평균유속이 감소하며 곡선식은 (-)전이가 발생하였고, 수중식생의 소멸이 발생한 경우 평균유속이 증가하여 곡선식은 (+)전이가 발생하였다. 영천시(단포교)관측소는 이러한 모니터링 결과와 유량측정성과를 바탕으로 총 5개의 기간분리가 발생하였으며, 각 기간별 곡선식 불확도와 편차율 검토 결과 유량측정성과와 곡선식은 정밀도 높은 정확성을 갖고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 하도 내 수중식생영향에 따른 유량측정성과를 확보하였으며 확보한 유량측정성과의 분석을 통한 신뢰도 높은 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였고 이를 통해 생산된 유량자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

영상유속계는 영상을 이용한 비접촉식 유속계로 하천과 같은 넓은 범위의 유속 및 유량을 간편하게 측정할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 현재 국내외에서 영상유속계의 실용화 연구가 수행되고 있다. 특히 유속 및 유량을 측정하기 위해 카메라 외에 별도의 측정 장비가 필요없기 때문에 드론에 장착하여 표면유속을 측정하는 연구 또한 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 기존 드론 영상을 이용한 표면유속 측정 연구에서는 드론을 측정하고자 하는 하천 영역 위에서 정지하여 영상을 촬영하여 표면유속을 측정하고 있다. 이때 한 화면에 하폭이 다 담기지 않는 넓은 하천의 경우 촬영 위치를 옮겨서 다시 영상을 촬영하거나 하폭이 담길 때까지 비행 고도를 높여 촬영하고 있다. 하지만 촬영 위치를 옮겨 촬영하는 방식의 경우 넓은 하천을 다 담기 위해 여러 번의 촬영을 하고 이를 정합하는 과정이 필요하다는 단점이 있으며 비행 고도를 높여 촬영하는 방식의 경우 촬영 품질 저하로 인해 측정한 유속의 불확도가 크게 산정된다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 드론을 이동하며 촬영한 연속적인 영상을 이용하여 하천의 표면유속을 측정하는 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 하천을 가로질러 비행하며 촬영한 드론 이동영상을 활용하면 폭이 넓은 하천의 경우도 간편하게 유속 분포를 측정할 수 있다. 이동영상을 이용하여 유속을 측정하기 위해서는 연속된 이동영상 내에서 지표면의 공통된 특징점을 찾아 흔들림 보정 알고리즘을 적용하여 유속을 산정하는 방법과 드론의 이동 속도를 이용하여 영상의 수표면 이동속도와 벡터연산을 적용하는 두가지 방법을 사용할 수 있다. 이 두가지 방법 중 영상 분석에 필요한 전처리 과정이 적고 지표면의 고정점이 필요 없는 드론의 이동속도를 이용한 벡터 연산을 적용하는 방법을 실제 흐름에 적용하였다. 측정한 수표면의 유속을 전자파표면유속계로 측정한 유속과 비교한 결과 평균 5 % 이내의 차이를 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 다양한 흐름 조건과 드론의 비행속도를 변경하여 측정하는 등의 유속 측정 적용성을 검토하는 연구가 수행된다면 하폭이 넓은 하천 등 다양한 조건에서 드론 영상을 이용한 유속 측정이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

We demonstrate a laser power meter calibration system based on 12-diode laser sources coupled to single-mode fibres in a wavelength range from 400 to 1,600 nm. In our system, three laser power controllers ensure that the output power uncertainty of all laser sources is less than 0.1% (k=2). In addition, all laser beams are adjusted to have similar beam sizes of approximately 2 mm (1/e²-width) at the measurement position to minimise unmeasured laser power on a detector. As a reference detector, we use an integrating sphere combined with silicon and indium gallium arsenide photodiodes to minimise the non-uniformity and non-linearity of responsivity. The minimum uncertainty of the calibration system is estimated to be 1.1% (k=2) for most laser wavelengths.

Background: It is necessary to consider the overall countermeasure for analysis of nuclear activities according to the increase of the nuclear facilities like nuclear power and reprocessing plants in the neighboring countries including China, Taiwan, North Korea, Japan and South Korea. South Korea and comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty organization (CTBTO) are now operating the monitoring instruments to detect radionuclides released into the air. It is important to estimate the origin of radionuclides measured using the detection technology as well as the monitoring analysis in aspects of investigation and security of the nuclear activities in neighboring countries. Materials and methods: A three-dimensional forward/backward trajectory model has been developed to estimate the origin of radionuclides for a covert nuclear activity. The developed trajectory model was composed of forward and backward modules to track the particle positions using finite difference method. Results and discussion: A three-dimensional trajectory model was validated using the measured data at Chernobyl accident. The calculated results showed a good agreement by using the high concentration measurements and the locations where was near a release point. The three-dimensional trajectory model had some uncertainty according to the release time, release height and time interval of the trajectory at each release points. An atmospheric dispersion model called long-range accident dose assessment system (LADAS), based on the fields of regards (FOR) technique, was applied to reduce the uncertainties of the trajectory model and to improve the detective technology for estimating the radioisotopes emission area. Conclusion: The detective technology developed in this study can evaluate in release area and origin for covert nuclear activities based on measured radioisotopes at monitoring stations, and it might play critical tool to improve the ability of the nuclear safety field.

This study was conducted to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions on local government levels from 1990 to 2010 using 2006 IPCC guideline methodology. To calculate greenhouse gas emissions based on the 16 local governments, emission factor and scaling factor were used with default value and activity data came from the food, agricultural, forestry and fisheries statistical yearbook of MIFAFF (Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries). The total emissions in crop sector gradually decreased from 1990 to 2010 due to a decline in agricultural land and nitrogen fertilizer usage. The annual average emission of greenhouse gas was the highest in Jeonnam (JN) with 1,698 Gg $CO_2$-eq and following Chungnam (CN), Gyungbuk (GB), Jeonbuk (JB) and Gyunggi (GG). The sum of top-six locals emission had occupied 83.4% of the total emission in cropland sector. The annual average emissions in 1990 by applying 2006 IPCC guideline were approximately 43% less than the national greenhouse gas inventory by 1996 IPCC guideline. Jeonnam (JN) province occupied also the highest results of greenhouse gas emission estimated by gas types (methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide) and emission sources such as rice cultivation, agricultural soil, field burning of crop residue and urea fertilizer.

The position of the internal organs can change continually and periodically inside the body due to the respiration. To reduce the respiration induced uncertainty of dose localization, one can use a respiratory gated radiotherapy where a radiation beam is exposed during the specific time of period. The main disadvantage of this method is that it usually requests a long treatment time, the massive effort during the treatment and the limitation of the patient selection. In this sense, the combination of the real-time position management (RPM) system and the volumetric intensity modulated radiotherapy (RapidArc) is promising since it provides a short treatment time compared with the conventional respiratory gated treatments. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of the respiratory gated RapidArc treatment. Total sic patient cases were used for this study and each case was planned by RapidArc technique using varian ECLIPSE v8.6 planning machine. For the Quality Assurance (QA), a MatriXX detector and I'mRT software were used. The results show that more than 97% of area gives the gamma value less than one with 3% dose and 3 mm distance to agreement condition, which indicates the measured dose is well matched with the treatment plan's dose distribution for the gated RapidArc treatment cases.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Dynamic Reaction Cell Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (ICP-DRC-QMS) was characterized for the detection of the six naturally occurring calcium isotopes. The effect of the operating conditions of the DRC system was studied to get the best signal-to-noise ratio. This experiment shows that the potentially interfering ions such as $Ar^+$, ${CO_2}^+$, ${NO_2}^+$, $CNO^+$ at the calcium masses m/z 40, 42, 43, 44 and 48 were removed by flowing $NH_3$ gas at the rate of 0.7 mL/min $NH_3$ as reactive cell gas in the DRC with a RPq value (rejection parameter) of 0.6. The limits of detection for $^{40}Ca$, $^{42}Ca$, $^{43}Ca$, $^{44}Ca$, and $^{48}Ca$ were 1, 29, 169, 34, and 15 pg/mL, respectively. This method was applied to the determination of calcium in synthetic food digest samples (CCQM-P13) provided by LGC for international comparison. The isotope dilution method was used for the determination of calcium in the samples. The uncertainty evaluation was performed according to the ISO/GUM and EURACHEM guidelines. The determined mean concentration and its expanded uncertainty of calcium was ($66.4{\pm}1.2$) mg/kg. In order to assess our method, two reference samples, Riverine Water reference sample (NRCC SLRS-3) and Trace Elements in Water reference sample (NIST SRM 1643d), were analyzed.

It is known that he pollutant emitted from the combustion process of marine fuel oil causes air pollution and harmful effects to the human body. Accordingly, IMO regulates pollutants emitted from ships. However, the regulation of Particulate Matter (PM) is still in the process of debate, so preemptive action is needed. Fundamental research on PM is essential. In this study, the Dimensionless Light Extinction Constant ($K_e$) of fuel oil used in marine diesel engines was measured and analyzed to construct the basic data of the PM generated from marine-based fuel oil. The fuel oil used in the land diesel engine was measured in the same way for character comparison. Both fuel oils differ in sulfur content and density. The $K_e$ was measured via the optical method using a 633 nm laser and was determined by using the volume fraction of PM collected by the gravimetric filter method. The $K_e$ of the PM discharged from marine fuel oil is 8.28, and the land fuel oil is 8.44. The $K_e$ of two fuel oils was similar within the measurement uncertainty range. However, it was found by comparison with the value obtained by the Rayleigh-Limit solution that the light scattering portion could be large. Also, it was found that light extinction characteristics could be different due to the relationship between light transmittance and collected mass.

The objective of this study is to identify the radionuclide distribution in public water by carrying out the analysis of artificial radionuclides($^{134}Cs$, $^{137}Cs$, $^{239+240}Pu$), natural radionuclide($^{210}Pb$) and TOC in the lake Euiam sediment in Chuncheon, South Korea. The $^{134}Cs$ concentration in all lake sediments showed below MDA values, and the $^{137}Cs$ concentration in lake sediment were ranged from MDA to $8.79Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}-dry$. The $^{137}Cs$ concentrations in surface sediment were reported to be 2.4 to $4.2Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}-dry$. The lowest concentration of $^{137}Cs$ was reported at St. 4 and the highest concentration was reported at St. 3, respectively. The $^{239+240}Pu$ concentration in lake sediment were ranged from 0.049 to $0.47Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}-dry$. The lowest concentration was reported at St. 2 and the highest concentration was reported at St. 3. The correlation(r) between the $^{239+240}Pu$ concentration and $^{137}Cs$ concentration in lake sediment presented higher values (0.54 to 0.97) and this suggests the behavior and origin of $^{137}Cs$ is identical to the $^{239+240}Pu$ in the sediment. The $^{134}Cs$ concentration below MDA value and the $^{239+240}Pu/^{137}Cs$ ratio(mean value of 0.041) indicated that the artificial radionuclides in the sediment were originated from global fallout by the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons conducted by former USSR and U.S.A, but not from the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident. The sedimentation rate derived from $^{210}Pb$ age-dating method at St. 2 is calculated to be $0.31{\pm}0.06cm{\cdot}y^{-1}$. This value is similar to the value ($0.41{\pm}0.05cm{\cdot}y^{-1}$) estimated from the $^{137}Cs$ maximum peak produced from early 1960's. The content of TOC in lake Euiam sediments varied from 0.20 to 13.01%. While the highest correlation between TOC and $^{137}Cs$ concentration in the sediment were found at St. 1, the others presented the low correlation.

This study aimed to develop biomass allometric equations and estimate carbon emission factors, such as the wood density, biomass-expansion factor, and root-to-shoot ratio, for Platanus occidentalis and Metasequoia glyptostroboides planted in urban areas. Twenty M. glyptostroboides and 25 P. occidentalis trees were harvested, and the dry weights and stem volumes of stems, branches, leaves, and roots (>5 mm) were measured. The wood densities of M. glyptostroboides and P. occidentalis were 0.293 ± 0.008 g cm^-3 and 0.509 ± 0.018 g cm^-3, and the biomass-expansion factors were 1.738 ± 0.031 and 1.561 ± 0.035. The root-to-shoot ratios were 0.446 ± 0.009 and 0.402 ± 0.012. The uncertainty tests (coefficient of variation, %) gave 2.8% and 3.5% values for wood density, 1.8% and 2.3% for biomass-expansion factor, and 2.1% and 2.9% for root-to-shoot ratio, respectively. Among the developed allometric equations, Model I using the diameter at breast height (DBH) was suitable. The allometric equations of M. glyptostroboides and P. occidentalis above ground were y = 1.679 (DBH)^1.315 and y = 0.505 (DBH)^1.896, and the allometric equations of the root and total were y = 0.746 (DBH)^1.315, y = 0.301 (DBH)^1.751, y = 2.422 (DBH)^1.316, and y = 0.787 (DBH)^1.858. If the carbon-emission factors of this study and biomass allometric equations of the three developed models are used to estimate the carbon storage and biomass of urban forests, errors caused by not considering the use of fixed factors and the environmental differences can be reduced.
