Transient mixing states of two different fuel oils, dimethylformamide (DMF) oil and JetA1 oil, were investigated by using a color image processing and a neural network. A tank ($D{\times}H$, $310{\times}370mm$) was filled with JetA1 oil. The DMF oil was filled at a top tank, and was mixed with the JetA1 oil in the tank mixing tank via a sudden opening which was performed by nitrogen gas with 1.9 bar. An impeller was rotated with 700 rpm for mixing enhancements of the two fuel oils. To visualize the mixing state of the DMF oil with the JetA1 oil, the DMF oil was coated with Rhodamine B whose color was red. A LCD monitor was used for uniform illumination. The color changes of the DMF oil were captured by a camcoder and the images were transferred to a host computer for quantifying the information of color changes. The color images of two mixed oils were captured with the camcoder. The R, G, B color information of the captured images was used to quantify the concentration of the DMF oil. To quantify the concentration of the DMF oil in the JetA1 oil, a calibration of color-to-concentration was carried out before the main experiment was done. Transient mixing states of DMF oil with the JetA1 oil since after the sudden infiltration were quantified and characterized with the constructed visualization technique.

This research uses numerical analysis to examine the tunnel portal landscape affecting the brightness level of interior lighting when designing lights for road tunnels through the L20 method. In order to extract the brightness recognition per form of a tunnel entrance and to evaluate the effects of the characteristics of the materials of facilities near a tunnel portal, brightness analysis was conducted by filming brightness on a video photometer called Hi-land Elf System, and a surface brightness photometer called LMK Mobile Advanced. Tunnels in Korea are mostly distributed in mountain areas; thus, the ratio occupied by the sky, which has the highest brightness within the angle of L20, is close to zero, while most of the ratio was occupied by brightness by the area near the tunnel entrance or road surface. However, for a tunnel portal retaing wall, which allows the width of a tunnel entrance to seem wider within the L20 angle, appeared to be have higher brightness compared to nearby areas or the surface, which is an element increasing the tunnel portal brightness within the tunnel, and the road facilities near the tunnel portal appeared to have an effect on the brightness as well. Thus, when designing tunnel lights based on brightness, the form of the tunnel entrance and the area width, material, and color of areas near the tunnel portal appeared to affect outside brightness and become an element affecting the establishment of the brightness level of the interior lights of tunnels. Consequently, reviewing such matters is a prerequisite when designing tunnel portal landscape.

KODOS (Korea Deep ocean Study)-89 sediments, recovered from western part of Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone in north Pacific, show two distinctly colored layer zones: surface yellow brown layer (unit A) and subsurface dark brown layer (unit B), and roughly recognized as Quaternary and Tertiary in age, respectively. Geochemical characteristics are also different in those two units. Smectite, water, micronodule, and heavy metal contents are higher in unit B, while POC content is higher in unit A. High smectite and low POC contents in unit B are due to the longer formation period of smectite, almost decomposition of labile organic matter in unit B relative to unit A. High water content in unit B is caused by coarse fabric which results from higher content of spicules and spines. Additionally, stronger electrostatic repulsion force caused by high smectite content also supports high water content in unit B relative to unit A. Variations in heavy metal contents are closely related to the amount of micronodule, which has higher metal contents than that of sediment. Therefore, we conclude that the differences of geochemical characteristics in unit A and unit B are resulted from the different diagenetic durations of unit A and unit B.

In the modern urban landscape design, historical and cultural factors are drawing more and more attention in addition to the factor of beauty. To evaluate an urban landscape design, it's quite important to explore the history and culture background of the city. Color of a city reflects the city characteristics and shows the city image. Color planning has become an important part of city landscape design nowadays. A harmonious landscape cannot be without a unified color planning. The color planning should take not only the integrity but also the regionality into consideration. Color planning has a profound impact on public life. This paper studies on streetscape color of two famous places which are Seoul Insa-dong and Shanghai Xintiandi. According to the empirical and comparative study, this paper will give on-site assessment and comprehensive evaluation. Furthermore, this paper will indicate the differences and similarities of the traditional Streetscape of South Korea and China, using the color theories of Korea Image Resource Institute. This survey results will be helpful to the urban landscape color planning.

Sundubu, Pork-Bulgogi, Kimchi-pork, Pork rib, Samgyetang, Stir-fried squid, Stir-fried chicken, Braised potato, Braised tofu and Jabchae were selected as takeout-style Korean food items. Sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale was conducted with residents in Honolulu, Hawaii during a 2 month market test. Among the respondents in the sensory evaluation, Japanese and Americans constituted 32.8% and 25.3%, respectively, of total respondents, which reflect the residential races in the state of Hawaii. The sensory scores of each attribute were judged as follows : aroma 7.2~8.2, color 7.0~8.2, flavor 7.2~8.2, overall preference; pork rib 8.2, pork Bulgogi=braised potato 8.1, stir-fried chicken 8.0, kimchi pork 7.9, Sundubu 7.6, Jabchae and braised tofu 7.5, stir-fried squid 7.2, Samgyetang 7.0. In a satisfaction survey using a 5 point scale after a 2 month market test, the scores of each satisfaction attribute such as quality, price, convenience, difference, etc. were shown to range from 4.1-4.6, indicating that 10 take out-style Korean food items were very popular with Hawaiian consumers. These results suggest that Korean food items are competitive with other ethnic foods in the Hawaii market.

The recent increase in maritime traffic and coastal leisure activities has led to a rise in various marine accidents. These incidents not only result in damage to human life and property but also pose a significant risk of marine pollution involving oil and hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) spills. Therefore, effective ship monitoring is crucial for preparing and for responding to marine accidents. This study conducted an aerial experiment utilizing hyperspectral remote sensing to develop a maritime ship monitoring system. Hyperspectral aerial measurements were carried out around Gungpyeong Port in the western coastal region of the Korean Peninsula, and spectral libraries were constructed for various ship decks. The spectral correlation similarity (SCS) technique was employed for ship detection, analyzing the spatial similarity distribution between hyperspectral images and ship spectra. As a result, 15 ships were detected in the hyperspectral images. The color of each ship's deck was classified based on the highest spectral similarity. The detected ships were verified by matching them with high-resolution digital mapping camera (DMC) images. This foundational study on the application of aerial hyperspectral sensors for maritime ship detection demonstrates their potential role in future remote sensing-based ship monitoring systems.

Remotely sensed satellite images can be applied to monitor and obtain land surface information on inaccessible areas. We classified paddy field area in North Korea based on on-screen digitization with visual interpretation using 291 RapidEye satellite images covering the whole country. Criteria for paddy field classification based on RapidEye imagery acquired at different time of rice growth period was defined. Darker colored fields with regular shape in the images with false color composite from early May to late June were detected as rice fields. From early July to late September, it was hard to discriminate rice canopy from other type of vegetation including upland crops, grass, and forest in the image. Regular form of readjusted rice field in the plains and uniform texture when compared with surrounding vegetation. Paddy fields classified from RapidEye imagery were mapped and the areas were calculated by administrative district, province or city. Sixty six percent of paddy fields ($3,521km^2$) were distributed in the west coastal regions including Pyeongannam-do, Pyeonganbuk-do, and Hwanghaenam-do. The paddy field areas classified from RapidEye images showed less than 1% of difference from the paddy field areas of North Korea reported by FAO/WFP (Food and Agriculture Organization/World Food Programme).

10두(頭)의 홀스타인 자우(仔牛)에 glucagon, insulin 등 홀몬과 reserpine 및 nicotine을 투여(投與)하여 그들이 췌장(膵臟)의 Langerhans 도서(島嶼)에 미치는 세포학적(細胞學的) 영향을 전자현미경(電子顯微鏡)에 의해서 연구하는 도중 거대(巨大)한 크기의 도서(島嶼)를 관찰하였다. 이 거대도서(巨大島嶼)들은 상기(上記)한 약품투여에 영향을 받지 않으며 거의 beta 세포(細胞)들로만 되어 있으므로 보통 크기의 도서(島嶼)들과의 혼동을 피하기 위하여서는 그 분포상태(分布狀態)와 세포학적(細胞學的) 및 조직학적(組織學的) 특징(特徵)을 구명(究明)하는 것이 필요하게 되어 본연구(本硏究)에 착수하였든 것이며 아울러 췌장(膵臟) 각부분(各部分)에 함유되는 Langerhans 도서수(島嶼數)의 평균치(平均値)를 산출(算出)하였다. Langerhans 도서(島嶼)는 편의상 그 크기에 따라서 직경(直徑) $200{\mu}$이하(以下)의 것을 "Regular islets" $200{\sim}500{\mu}$까지의 것을 "Intermediate islets" 그리고 $500{\mu}$ 이상(以上)의 것을 "Giant islets"라 이름지어서 구별하였다. 지금까지 알려진 최대(最大)의 도서(島嶼)는 개에서 관찰된 $333{\mu}$의 도서(島嶼)이었는데 필자는 본연구(本硏究)에서 직경 $1.395{\mu}$에 달하는 것과 기리 $2,700{\mu}$에 달하는 거대(巨大)한 도서(島嶼)들을 관찰하였다. 본연구(本硏究)의 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 자우췌장(仔牛膵腸) 50평방(平方)mm 면적(面積)내에 함유되는 Langerhans 도서(島嶼)의 수(數)는 평균(平均) 191개로서 다른 연구자에 의해서 보고된 수치(數値)보다 훨씬 많은 것이었다. 2. 거대도서(巨大島嶼)의 크기는 직경(直徑) $200{\sim}1,400{\mu}$이며 그 분포상태(分布狀態)는 보통 크기의 도서(島嶼)와 마찬가지로 췌장(膵臟)의 십이지장부(十二指腸部) 중간부(中間部) 및 췌장부(膵臟部)의 순서(順序)로 많이 함유되고 있다. 즉 십이지장부(十二指腸部)에는 2% 중간부(中間部) 1.8% 췌장부(膵臟部)에는 0.8%의 거대도서(巨大島嶼)가 함유되어 있으며 직경(直徑) $200{\mu}$이상(以上)의 도서평균치(島嶼平均値)는 1.53%이었다. 3. 중간대(中間大)의 도서(島嶼)와 거대도서(巨大島嶼)들은 거의 beta 세포(細胞)들로서만 되어있음으로 "중간대(中間大) beta 도서(島嶼)" 및 "거대(巨大) beta 도서(島嶼)"라고 각 각 명명하였으며 alpha세포(細胞)들이 있는 경우에는 작은 세포집합체(細胞集合體)를 이루고 도서전반(島嶼全般)에 걸쳐서 산재(散在)한다. 4. 췌장(膵臟)에 함유되고 있는 거대(巨大) beta 도서(島嶼)의 수(數)는 적지마는 보통 크기의 도서(島嶼)와 비교할때 그 용량(容量)은 막대한 것이며 따라서 insulin 분비량(分泌量)도 많을것이므로 우췌장(牛膵臟)의 insulin 분비(分泌)를 연구할 때에는 반듯이 이 사실(事實)을 고려해야 할 것이다. 5. 불규칙한 색상(索狀)의 실질세포(實質細胞)들로된 거대(巨大) beta 도서(島嶼)에는 간질결합조직(間質結合組織)이 풍부하며 그 간질(間質) 속에는 비교적 큰 혈관(血管)과 개재관양(介在管樣) 구조물(構造物)이 들어있다. 거대(巨大) beta 도서(島嶼)는 출생(出生)후 도서내외(島嶼內外)에 산재(散在)하고 있는 외분비도관세포(外分泌導管細胞)들의 증식(增殖)에 의해서 발생(發生)하며 그 크기도 증대(增大)하는 것으로 믿어진다. 6. 거대(巨大) beta 도서(島嶼)의 beta 세포(細胞)들은 현저한 Golgi 장치(裝置)와 비대(肥大)한 핵소체(核小體) 및 포상핵(胞狀核)등의 세포학적(細胞學的) 특징을 가지며 이것은 거대(巨大) beta 도서(島嶼)가 보통 크기의 Langerhans 도서(島嶼)에 비하여 더 활발하게 insulin을 분비(分泌)한다는 것을 시사(示唆)하는 것이다.

This study examines how traditional knowledge functions in the specific techniques to make pottery in terms of the traditional knowledge on the pottery techniques of Onggi potters. It focuses on how traditional pottery manufacturing skills are categorized and what aspects are observed with regard to the techniques. The pottery manufacturing process is divided into the preparation step of raw material, the molding step of pottery, and the final plasticity step. Each step involves unique traditional knowledge. The preparation step mainly comprises the knowledge on different kinds of mud. The knowledge is about the colors and properties of mud, the information on the regional distribution of quality mud, and the techniques to optimize mud for pottery manufacturing. The molding step mainly involves the structure and shape of spinning wheels, the techniques to accumulate mud, ways to use different kinds of tools, the techniques to dry processed pottery. The plasticity step involves the knowledge on kilns and the scheme to build kilns, the skills to stack pottery inside of the kilns, the knowledge on firewood and efficient ways of wood burning, the discrimination of different kinds of fire and the techniques to stoke the kilns. These different kinds of knowledge may be roughly divided into three categories : the preparation of raw material, molding, and plasticity. They are closely connected with one another, which is because it becomes difficult to manufacture quality pottery even with only one incorrect factor. The contents of knowledge involved in the manufacturing process of pottery focused are mainly about raw material, color, shape, distribution aspect, fusion point, durability, physical property, etc, which are all about science. They are rather obtained through the experimental learning process of apprenticeship, not through the official education. It is not easy to categorize the knowledge involved. Most of the knowledge can be understood in the category of ethnoscience. In terms of the UNESCO world heritage of intangible cultural assets, the knowledge is mainly about 'the knowledge on nature and universe'. Unique knowledge and skills are, however, identified in the molding step. They can be referred to 'body techniques', which unify the physical stance of potters, tools they employ, and the conceived pottery. Potters themselves find it difficult to articulate the knowledge. In case stated, it cannot be easily understood without the experience and knowledge on the field. From the preparation of raw material to the complete products, the techniques and traditional knowledge involved in the process of manufacturing pottery are closely connected, employing numerous categories and levels. Such an aspect can be referred to as a 'techniques chain'. Here the techniques mean not only the scientific techniques but also, in addition to the skills, the knowledge of various techniques and levels including habitual, unconscious behaviors of potters.

A large amount of floating debris from land-based sources during heavy rainfall has negative social, economic, and environmental impacts, but there is a lack of monitoring systems for floating debris accumulation areas and amounts. With the recent development of artificial intelligence technology, there is a need to quickly and efficiently study large areas of water systems using drone imagery and deep learning-based object detection models. In this study, we acquired various images as well as drone images and trained with You Only Look Once (YOLO)v5s and the recently developed YOLO7 and YOLOv8s to compare the performance of each model to propose an efficient detection technique for land-based floating debris. The qualitative performance evaluation of each model showed that all three models are good at detecting floating debris under normal circumstances, but the YOLOv8s model missed or duplicated objects when the image was overexposed or the water surface was highly reflective of sunlight. The quantitative performance evaluation showed that YOLOv7 had the best performance with a mean Average Precision (intersection over union, IoU 0.5) of 0.940, which was better than YOLOv5s (0.922) and YOLOv8s (0.922). As a result of generating distortion in the color and high-frequency components to compare the performance of models according to data quality, the performance degradation of the YOLOv8s model was the most obvious, and the YOLOv7 model showed the lowest performance degradation. This study confirms that the YOLOv7 model is more robust than the YOLOv5s and YOLOv8s models in detecting land-based floating debris. The deep learning-based floating debris detection technique proposed in this study can identify the spatial distribution of floating debris by category, which can contribute to the planning of future cleanup work.
