국내 기후 특성상 하절기에 집중되는 강우로 인해 댐의 건설을 홍수조절, 용수확보 및 전력생산 등의 목적에 있어서 불가피하다. 이와 같은 저수지와 하류하천은 댐 수문 개폐에 따라 흐름변화로 인하여 수체의 거동 및 수질 변화가 발생하며, 일반적인 하천과는 다른 특성을 지니게 된다. 또한 수심이 깊은 저수지의 경우에는 흐름방향과 더불어 수심 방향의 특성도 중요하며, 수리 및 수질 모형의 연계를 통한 3차원적인 해석을 필요로 한다. 유역 내 지상 또는 대기에서 발생한 모든 오염물질은 강우에 의해 하천과 호수와 같은 수체로 유입되며, 강우가 발생했을 때 유역의 토지피복 상태와 수리, 지형, 강우강도, 토양의 특성에 의해 하천으로 유입되는 오염물질의 농도와 부하특성이 달라진다. 비점오염물질의 축적이 가능한 호수나 저수지에서는 비점오염원의 유입이 더 큰 문제가 되며, 유량이 극히 미미한 하천의 경우에는 강우초기에 일시에 집중적으로 유입되는 초기 오염 부하량이 문제가 된다. 강우유출수의 하천 유입은 강우 현상과 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있으므로 그 제어가 쉽지 않다. 이러므로 이를 총괄하는 유역통합관리기술이 필요로 하며, 기존의 유역통합관리기술은 댐 상류유역을 중심으로 개발되고 있으며, 댐 상류유역과 저수지, 하류하천으로 구분되어 연구되어 왔다. 또한 각각의 모형이 개별적으로 적용되어 통합적인 평가시스템이 표준화되지 않은 관계로 댐 상하류 모니터링 자료가 연계된 실무 적용이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 하천 수리 수문학적 역학구조를 이해하고 그 특성에 적합하게 평가할 수 있는 표준화된 시스템이 구축되어야 한다. 또한 효과적인 유역통합관리를 위해서는 하천의 현재 뿐만 아니라 장래에 대한 예측부분도 포함되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 댐 유역에서의 유출과 수질 변화를 모의하고 이를 이용하여 저수지 내에서의 오염물질 거동에 대해서 해석하였다. 또한 기후변화에 따른 유역, 저수지 및 하천에 미치는 영향을 고려하기 위하여 고해상도 지역기후전망 모의자료를 이용하여 수문학적 스케일로 통계적 상세화한 후 지역별 상세수문시나리오를 생산하여 미래 예측에 활용하였다. 기후변화 시나리오의 상세화를 통한 상세지역의 기후를 예측하고, 예측된 기상자료를 이용하여 유역모델을 모의하여 미래의 유출 및 수질 변화를 파악할 수 있는 기술 개발로 인해 저수지의 운영에 도움을 주고, 주수지의 치수증대 사업 등 유출의 변화에 따른 하류하천 변화를 파악할 수 있고, 기후변화에 따른 하류하천에 대한 홍수기 때 치수, 이수 및 방재에 대하여 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Fish community and its temporal-spacial variation in the Lagoon Hwajinpo, Korea were seasonally investigated with different types of fishing gears from November, 2005 to August, 2006. Total 35.812 fishes caught during the period were belonged to 24 families 37 species. Dominant species was H. nipponensis(60.8%), T, hakonensis (19.8%), and K. punctatus (5.5%) ana these species were peripheral freshwater fish. Among 37 species, primary freshwater and seawater fish were 8 species (21.6%), respectively and peripheral freshwater fish were 21 species (56.8%). Total biomass of collected fish was 279.3kg, and biomass of each species was T. hakonensis 152.9 kg, H. nipponensis 40.0 kg, K. punctatus 31.4 kg and C. haematochelius 25.3 kg, respectively. Hence, productivity of the Lagoon Hwajinpo was much higher than those of inland reservoirs. The aspect of community classified by surveyed period was changed according to the 'Breaking-sandbar', but some of peripheral freshwater fish populations made stable community in their life cycle in the lagoon. In conclusion, the Lagoon Hwajinpo seems to be maintained more natural ecosystem better than other lagoons in Korea. Therefore, the findings provide consideration of the management and restoration for this lagoon and others through the continuous observation and monitoring in future.

The seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton and water quality were evaluated bimonthly at 7 park ponds in the capital region from October 2004 to August 2005. With out the change of water temperature $(0.4\sim26.0^{\circ}C)$, cyanobacteria dominated in park ponds such as Gyungbokgung Gyunghyaeru and Seokchon reservoir. The standing crops of phytoplankton was significant related with cell densities of cyanobacteria (r=0.993), while they did not significant correlation with environmental factors. Almost of all park ponds in the capital region were classified as eutrophic state with high TP concentrations and TN/TP ratios less than 10. Major dominant cyanobacteria were as followed; Anabaena sp., Aphanocapsa elachista, Lyngbya contorta, Merismopedia elegans, Microcystis aeruginosa, M. wesenbergii, Microcystis sp., Oscillatoria sp., Phormidium tenue, and Plectonema sp. To date, although the concentration of chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ and cyanobacterial densities in the capital region was below the 'danger' level of WHO guidelines value, the monitoring of cyanobacterial densities and its toxin (microcystin) in recreational/bath water should be continued.

A normal body temperature data base for cattle was established to utilize for automatic monitoring of abnormal body condition of cattle by using sensor network and radio frequency identification technology. Three castrated Holstein cattle (mean body weight: $318{\pm}12kg$) were employed for body temperature measurement. Animals were adapted at the stanchion barn over 2 weeks, and 4 places (skins of ear, neck, head and subcutaneous tissue of neck) of body temperatures were continuously measured through thermocouples and recorder devices for 9 days. All places of body temperatures were fluctuated throughout the day and showed a cyclic pattern, with higher temperature in day time and lower temperature in nigh time. Normal subcutaneous tissue temperature (core temperature) in a day was ranged from $36.1^{\circ}C$ to $38.2^{\circ}C$. Skin temperatures were varied largely with environmental temperature change. Ear, head and neck temperatures varied with $36.3{\sim}28.5^{\circ}C$, $36.1{\sim}28.0^{\circ}C$ and $35.0{\sim}28.2^{\circ}C$, respectively. In this study, we established a basic data base for normal body temperature in cattle. For more effective data base, it would be needed further study.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INM) examination identifies the damage caused to the nervous system during surgery. This method is applied in various surgeries to validate the procedure being performed, and proceed with confidence. The assessment is conducted in an operating room, using subdermal needle electrodes to optimize the examination. There are no textbooks or guides for the correct stimuli and recording areas for the surgical laboratory test. This article provides a detailed description of the correct stimuli and recording parts in motor evoked potential (MEP), somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP), brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and visual evoked potentials (VEP). Free-running Electromyography (EMG) is an observation of the EMG that occurs in the muscle, wherein the functional state of most cranial nerves and spinal nerve roots is determined. In order to help understand the test, an image depicting the inserting subdermal needle electrodes into each of the muscles, is attached. Furthermore, considering both the patient and the examiner, a safe method is suggested for removal of electrodes after conclusion of the test.

In this study, we analyzed the database for items reported to Korea Food and Drug Administration as for manufactured health/functional food during 2010. There were 183 health functional food products manufactured in domestic having over 2 functional ingredients (hereinafter, combinational health functional food) among total 7319 products. Among 183 products, there were 177 products having over two kinds of functional ingredient and 6 products were over 3 ingredients. The most commonly used functional ingredients in the combinational health functional food were Garcinia cambogia extracts which were used in 41 products, Octacosanol and Saw Palmetto extract. When we searched the safety information for the pair of ingredients used in combinational health functional food using several database, there were no reports for safety concern. However, as there are still safety concerns when intake various functional ingredients at once, we suggested to enforce the reporting system of adverse event in order to strength safety management of health functional food. With these complement, the safety management of health functional food might be achieved including a combinational products.

The purpose of this study is to identify the intent of the Total Amount of Vehicles policy that is enforced during the two summer season months (July and August) in U-do and the consequent problems after its implementation. We propose a basic direction for the policy to be sustainable. The average daily number of vehicles visiting was 645 in July 2015 and 953 in August 2015. As these numbers exceed the limit of 605, serious transportation problems such as traffic congestion and traffic accidents have occurred in U-do. We propose that the future direction of the policy is set forth as follows. First, mandatory reporting and the use of insurance, such as motorcycles, will have to be introduced along with measures to regulate violations. Second, a scheme needs to be introduced to enhance the total Amount of Vehicle policy and the number of inbound vehicles. Finally, public transportation cooperatives that are directly managed by local residents need to be established and an Eco-friendly vehicles dissemination policy introduced.

The purpose of this study is to understand the vegetation structure and ecological characteristics of the coastal forest Pinus thunbergii community in Busan Metropolitan City (BMC) and to establish reference information for the management of the coastal forest in BMC in the future. We set up 97 plots with an area of $100m^2$ each for the analysis and investigation of the vegetation characteristics. The analysis using the TWINSPAN and DCA techniques found seven community groups: Pinus thunbergii-Quercus aliena community, Pinus thunbergii-Eurya japonica(1) community, Pinus thunbergii-Eurya japonica(2) community, Pinus thunbergii-Quercus serrata community, Pinus thunbergii-Camellia japonica(1) community, Pinus thunbergii-Camellia japonica(2) community, and Pinus thunbergii-Eurya japonica-Camellia japonica community. According to the analysis of vegetation structure, Pinus thunbergii was a main dominant species at the canopy layer in all sites while Eurya japonica and Camellia japonica were dominant species at the understory layer. Pinus thunbergii-Quercus serrata community is predicted in the forest succession because of the competition between Pinus thunbergii and Quercus serrata in the canopy layer and the understory layer. As such, it is necessary to observe changes by continually monitoring this community. Tree species with strong salinity tolerance, including Pinus thunbergii, have formed community groups because of the environmental characteristics of coastal forests, strong with salinity tolerance species are forming community groups. Therefore, all community groups except for the Pinus thunbergii-Quercus serrata community will maintain the current vegetation structure unless drastic environmental changes occur.

The weight of pig is one of the main factors in determining the health and growth state of pigs, their shipment, the breeding environment, and the ration of feed, and thus measuring the pig's weight is an important issue in productivity perspective. In order to estimate the pig's weight by using the number of pig's pixels from images, acquired from a Top-view camera, the posture determining and the head removal from images are necessary to measure the accurate number of pixels. In this research, we propose the fast and accurate method to determine the pig's posture by using a fast image processing technique, find the head location by using a fast deep learning technique, and remove pig's head by using light weighted image processing technique. First, we determine the pig's posture by comparing the length from the center of the pig's body to the outline of the pig in the binary image. Then, we train the location of pig's head, body, and hip in images using YOLO(one of the fast deep learning based object detector), and then we obtain the location of pig's head and remove an outside area of head by using head location. Finally, we find the boundary of head and body by using Convex-hull, and we remove pig's head. In the Experiment result, we confirmed that the pig's posture was determined with an accuracy of 0.98 and a processing speed of 250.00fps, and the pig's head was removed with an accuracy of 0.96 and a processing speed of 48.97fps.

Crops show sensitive spectral characteristics according to their species and growth conditions and although frequent observation is required especially in summer, it is difficult to utilize optical satellite images due to the rainy season. To solve this problem, Constrained Cloud-Maximum Normalized difference vegetation index Composite (CC-MNC) algorithm was developed to generate periodic composite images with minimal cloud effect. In thisstudy, using this method, monthly Sentinel-2A/B Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) composite images were produced for paddies and high-latitude cabbage fields from 2019 to 2021. In August 2020, which received 200mm more precipitation than other periods, the effect of clouds, was also significant in MODIS NDVI 16-day composite product. Except for this period, the CC-MNC method was able to reduce the cloud ratio of 45.4% of the original daily image to 14.9%. In the case of rice paddy, there was no significant difference between Sentinel-2A/B and MODIS NDVI values. In addition, it was possible to monitor the rice growth cycle well even with a revisit cycle 5 days. In the case of high-latitude cabbage fields, Sentinel-2A/B showed the short growth cycle of cabbage well, but MODIS showed limitations in spatial resolution. In addition, the CC-MNC method showed that cloud pixels were used for compositing at the harvest time, suggesting that the View Zenith Angle (VZA) threshold needsto be adjusted according to the domestic region.
