Sky cover method can be used to determine sky condition by cloud amount of the Korea Meteorological Administration. And, HCI (Hourly Clearness Index) method is another method determined by measured horizontal global radiation data. The results of the HCI methods of Erbs et al. (1982), Orgill and Hollands (1977) seem to be not good enough because of the air pollution such as smog phenomenon or yellow sand phenomenon and so on. Therefore, HCI should be corrected. The aim of this study is to improve HCI. Therefore, this study is to analyze and compare on the sky conditions from Sky cover method and HCI, and then presents hourly correction factor based on Sky 채팩 method. The results of corrected HCI improved.

We believe that science experiments in a laboratory are essential for science education. Scientific experiments begin with situations set by selecting and locating tools and reagents. and by proper experimental behavior, and thereafter situations are changed by natural laws and intermediate experimental behavior. While scientists and students do experiments, they build a cognitive model internally, do causal reasoning on the model to derive system behavior, and then learn scientific truth. We suggest not only a representation method for a 2-dimentional model and for ontological entities necessary in causal reasoning, but also an inferencing method to derive behavior. Chemistry experiments are chosen for the implementation. For the ontological entities, we consider experimental tools, reagents and their heirarchical structures, physics and chemistry natural laws, and functional abstraction knowledge. In order to show the usefulness of our methods, we have developed a program, called ACUArtificial Chemistry Laboratory), which provides an experiment environment where students can do non-predetermined experiments, and shows experiment려 system behavior similar to what happens in the same situation in a real world and descriptions about why it happens.

This paper describes an autonomous air combat guidance law using a Virtual Pursuit Point (VPP) in one-on-one close engagement for Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV). The VPPs that consist of virtual lag and lead points are introduced to carry out tactical combat maneuvers. The VPPs are generated based on fighter's aerodynamic performance and Basic Fighter Maneuver (BFM)'s turn circle, total energy and weapon characteristics. The UCAV determines a single VPP and executes pursuit maneuvers based on a smoothing function which evaluates probabilities of the pursuit types for switching maneuvers with given combat states. The proposed law is demonstrated by high-fidelity real-time combat simulation using commercial fighter model and X-Plane simulator.

In this paper, we introduce system and channel modeling for an underwater ad hoc acoustic network with n regularly located nodes， and then analyze capacity scaling laws based on the model. A narrow-band model is assumed where the carrier frequency is allowed to scale as a function of n. In the network, we characterize in attenuation parameter that depends on the frequency scaling as well as the transmission distance. A cut-set upper bound on the throughput scaling is then derived in extended networks having unit node density. Our result indicates that the upper bound is inversely proportional to the attenuation parameter, thus resulting in a power-limited network. Furthermore, we describe an achievable scheme based on the simple nearest-neighbor multi-hop (MH) transmission. It is shown under extended networks that the MH scheme is order-optimal for all the operating regimes expressed as functions of the attenuation parameter.

It is the 6th curriculum that first officially mentioned the use of calculators in elementary mathematics education in Korea. Since then, the curriculum has been more widely used than in the beginning. However, in actual textbooks, it is still not enough to see the utilization situation, and guidance in this textbook is very scarce. In particular, there is no relevant study that meets the standards of achievement of the curriculum. The purpose of this study is to investigate the contents of the research on the use of the calculator in the course of the curriculum change after the 6th curriculum, and to present the complex calculation, mathematical concept, mathematical principles and rules, mathematical problem solving. In addition, the course is presented in the textbooks that are appropriate for the achievement criteria and the application process for each topic.

This study aims to explore how Korean middle-school mathematics textbooks on functions provide students an opportunity-to-learn [OTL]. For this purpose, we investigate 3 textbooks in terms of mathematics content and practice, the level of cognitive demands of mathematical tasks, types of student responses, types of context-based tasks, and connections among the tasks. The findings from the data analysis suggest as follows: a) an opportunity-to-learn to connect procedures to functional concepts and new ideas of functions to the existing one is very limited; b) the textbooks seem to provide students an OTL to understand functions as definitions, rules and conventions and to experience repeatedly procedural executions through worked examples and mathematics tasks; c) students may not experience to explain their own ideas/thinking by using mathematical sentence or justify their own cognitive processes; and d) students can be exposed to get a sense of mathematics as a set of fragmented and isolated facts or procedures, rather than to encourage to expand and deepen their understanding of functions.

기후변화 등에 따른 가뭄위험을 평가하기 위한 다양한 방법이 연구되어 왔으며, 기상학적인 가뭄이나 생물학적인 가뭄 등으로 정의되는 가뭄지수들이 개발되어졌다. 그러나 궁극적으로 가뭄의 판정은 수원으로부터 더 이상의 용수를 공급할 수 없는 상황에 처해졌을 때 비로소 결정되는 것이므로, 수원공의 가뭄위험에 대한 평가가 우선적일 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 수도권의 생공용수 공급을 책임지고 있다고 해도 과언이 아닌 다목적댐인 소양강댐과 충주댐의 가뭄위험을 평가하기 위하여 월강우량 자료로부터 특정시기의 저수율을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 개발하도록 하였다. 월강우량 변화에 따른 저수율의 변화양상을 예측하기 위하여 저수지 유입량과 방류량에 따른 물수지 분석이 정교하게 이루어져야 하지만, 실질적으로 상류에 또 다른 댐이 존재하는 상황에서 유입량을 정확하게 예측하는 것도 어렵지만 수시로 상황에 따라 이루어지는 방류량을 적절히 예측하는 것은 거의 불가능하므로, 물수지 분석에 의한 저수율 예측은 어느 정도의 불확실성을 가질수밖에 없을 것으로 판단되어 댐 관리관행에 따라 나타나는 월강우량과 저수율 사이의 회귀분석을 통하여 일정한 법칙을 만들 수 있는지 시도하였다. 다목적 댐인 소양강댐과 충주댐의 1984-2013년의 일별 저수율 자료로부터 저수율 관리관행을 파악할 수 있었는데, 다목적 댐인 관계로 호우시의 홍수피해 예방을 위하여 6월말에는 25-35% 정도의 저수율을 유지하도록 관리가 이루어지고 있었으며 호우가 발생된 이후에는 일정량을 수시로 방류하여 다음 호우를 준비하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 각 댐의 최저 저수율은 3월말 - 4월에 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 4월과 5월에 일정 정도의 강우량만 존재한다면 가뭄피해는 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 저수율 관리 관행을 적용하여 예측되는 강우량 패턴에 따른 저수율 변화를 예측하기 위하여 월강우량 자료와 4월 1일 기준의 저수율 자료 사이의 회귀분석을 실시하여 전년의 7월부터 당해 3월까지의 월강우량으로부터 4월 1일의 저수율을 예측할 수 있는 의미 있는 결과를 도출하였다. 이러한 결과는 기후변화 등에 따른 미래에 예측되는 월강우량 자료로부터 각 댐의 4월 1일 기준 저수율 자료를 예측할 수 있으며, 4월 및 5월의 월강우량과 함께 분석함으로써 가뭄위험을 평가할 수 있는 한 방법으로 적절한 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate some implications for optics education and improvement of the Examination for Appointing Secondary School Physics Teachers (EASSPT), by analyzing the problems in EASSPT. For these purpose, we analyzed 38 optics problems of the EASSPT from the 16 school years of 2002 to 2017. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, optics problems were presented in 10.8% of the physics subject area, which was least frequently. Second, many problems have addressed specific areas such as Snell's law, image of a single lens, or interference. Few problems were found in many other evaluation areas, including optical instruments and aberrations. Third, compared to other areas, optics problems were presented as relatively easy questions, and the problems were presented in more laboratory contexts than daily-life contexts. In addition, we have discussed implications for EASSPT and in-service physics-teacher training.

A good understanding of how gifted science students understand physics is important to developing and delivering effective curriculum for gifted science students. This dissertation reports on a systematic investigation of gifted science students' reasoning model in learning physics. An analysis of videotaped class work, written work and interviews indicate that I will discuss the framework to characterize student reasoning. There are three main groups of students. The first group of gifted science students holds several different understandings of a single concept and apply them inconsistently to the tasks related to that concept. Most of these students hold the Aristotelian Model about Newton's second law. In this case, I define this reasoning model as the manifold model. The second group of gifted science students hold a unitary understanding of a single concept and apply it consistently to several tasks. Most of these students hold a Newtonian Model about Newton's second law. In this case, I define this reasoning model as the coherence model. Finally, some gifted science students have a manifold model with several different perceptions of a single concept and apply them inconsistently to tasks related to the concept. Most of these students hold the Aristotelian Model about Newton's second law. In this case, I define this reasoning model as the coherence model.

The flash point is an important indicator of the flammability of a chemical. The minimum flash point behaviour (MFPB) is exhibited when the flash point of a mixture is below the flash points of the individual components. The identification of this behaviour is critical, because a hazardous situation results from taking the lowest component flash point value as the mixture flash point. In this study, the flash points for the n-butanol + n-decane and n-octane + n-propanol systems which exhibit MFPB, were measured by Tag open-cup apparatus. The experimental data were compared with the alues calculated by the Raoult's law, the van Laar equation and the Wilson equation. The calculated values based on the van Laar and Wilson equations were found to be better than those based on the Raoult's law. It was concluded that the van Laar and Wilson equations were more effective than the Raoult' law at describing the activity coefficients for non-ideal solution such as the n-butanol + n-decane and n-octane + n-propanol systems. The predictive curve of the flash point prediction model based on the Wilson equation described the experimentally-derived data more effectively than was the case when the prediction model was based upon the van Laar equation.
