Remote sensing technique in agriculture can be used to identify chlorophyll content, biomass, and yield caused from N stress level. This study was conducted to evaluate biomass, N stress levels, and yield of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) under sand culture in a plastic film house using ground-based remote sensors. Nitrogen rates applied were 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 percent of N concentration in the Hoagland's nutrient solution. Sensor readings for reflectance indices were taken at 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 60 days after transplanting(DAT). Reflectance indices measured at 40th DAT were highly correlated with dry weight(DW) of tobacco leaves and N uptake by leaves. Especially, green normalized difference vegetation index(gNDVI) from spectroradiometer and aNDVI from Crop Circle passive sensor were able to explain 85% and 84% of DW variability and 85% and 92% of N uptake variability, respectively. All the reflectance indices measured at each sampling date during the growing season were significantly correlated with tobacco yield. Especially the gNDVI derived from spectroradiometer readings at the 40th DAT explained 72% of yield variability. N rates of tobacco were distinguished by sufficiency index calculated using the ratio of reflectance indices of stress to optimum plot of N treatment. Consequently results indicate that the reflectance indices by ground-based remote sensor can be used to predict tobacco yield and recommend the optimum application rate of N fertilizer for top dressing of tobacco.

We investigated the relationship between morphological characteristics and individual dry weight to develop a method for estimating the individual dry weight of sheet form macroalgae: Ulva australis, Ulva linza, Pachymeniopsis lanceolata, and Pyropia yezoensis. In Total, 319 thalli of various sizes were collected at six sites from February 2017 to December 2018. An interspecific allometric exponent of 0.28 was found for length-biomass allometry in four sheet form macroalgae, corresponding to a 1/4-power law for primary producers. The relationships between surface area and individual dry weight, as well as between individual fresh weight and individual dry weight, were found to fit significantly using linear regression equations. This explained 94-99 % of individual dry weight, indicating that surface area and individual fresh weight can be used to accurately estimate individual dry weight. We propose the use of this method when experimental processes do not allow individual dry weight to be measured directly, so researchers can save both time and expense.

작물의 생육장해 진단은 식물체의 계측에 의해 수행되는데, 이러한 계측은 생육 중인 작물을 대상으로 할 경우, 작물의 잎이나 줄기의 비파괴적 생체(in-vivo)계측을 필요로 하며 비접촉이면 더욱 바람직하다. 그리고 식물체의 건강상태를 좀더 신속하고 정확히 파악하기 위해서는 가능한 다양한 항목을 측정 대상으로 하여 관찰하는 것이 요구될 뿐만 아니라 많은 경우 그 관찰은 미소한 생장반응 및 생장량을 측정하여야 하므로 상당히 높은 정확도의 전문 센서가 필요하다. (중략)

식생의 물리적 특성에 따라 조도의 관점에서 식생이 흐름에 미치는 영향도 많이 달라지게 된다. 일반적인 식생 조도 실험은 초본류를 대상으로 하고 있지만, 초본류 식생은 매우 유연하기 때문에 단일 개채가 흐름에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 파악하는 것이 매우 힘들다. 따라서 단일 개체에 의한 조도 특성 보다는 식생군에 의한 조도계수 변화 특성을 알아내는 것이 보통 중요해진다. 하지만 조도의 관점에서 초본류와 달리 목본류는 삭생의 강성이 매우 크기 때문에 식생군의 군집으로서 특징보다는 개별 식생의 형상이 큰 역할을 수행하게 된다. 일반적으로 목본류는 수심에 따라 흐름에 영향을 주는 생체량(biosmass)이 수심에 따라 변화하지만, 줄기(trunk)의 경우 수심에 따라 생체량의 변화가 거의 없으며, 줄기의 강성 및 단면 모양이 큰 역할을 하게 된다. 또한 목본류는 실험 수로에 고밀도의 수목군을 형성하여 실험을 수행하는 것이 쉽지 않으므로 개별 식생이나 소규모 군체에 대하여 항력을 측정하여 조도를 평가하는 것이 일반적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 목본류의 줄기 부분이 흐름에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 기초 연구로서 원기둥이나 사각기둥과 같은 식생 모형 요소를 이용하여 식생 줄기를 구현하였고, 식생 형상 및 식생 직경 등을 달리하여 침수 조건 변화에 따른 항력 변화 특성을 검토하였다.

Scirpus planiculmis dominated in Nakdong river estuary is known as food for birds visiting to Nakdong river estuary and plays an important role in material cycle and food web, while repeating growth and production, decomposition process in 1-year interval. Therefore, if it is able to predict effectively biomass or tuber production of Scirpus planiculmis which is food source for estuarine organisms or birds, it can provide very useful information on the Nakdong river estuary management. In this study, regression equation that can predict the tuber production, food for birds, was obtained using initial density of Scirpus planiculmis that can minimize the disturbance of ecosystem and is faster and easier. The correlation analysis results show that density, biomass and tuber production have liner relationship(p<0.001) with 0.6103~0.9950 of correlation coefficients. In addition, the regression equations have high coefficients of determination of 0.3696~0.7145 and it shows that it is able to predict biomass or tuber production while using the estimated regression equation obtained from relationship among the initial density, biomass and tuber production. The results of this study are expected to utilize effectively the management of estuary ecosystem such as management on food source for migratory birds visiting to Nakdong river estuary.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of a 3D printed phantom for in-vivo dosimetry of a prostate cancer patient. Materials and Methods : The phantom is produced to equally describe prostate and rectum based on a 3D volume contour of an actual prostate cancer patient who is treated in Asan Medical Center by using a 3D printer (3D EDISON+, Lokit, Korea). CT(Computed tomography) images of phantom are aquired by computed tomography (Lightspeed CT, GE, USA). By using treatment planning system (Eclipse version 10.0, Varian, USA), treatment planning is established after volume of a prostate cancer patient is compared with volume of the phantom. MOSFET(Metal OXIDE Silicon Field Effect Transistor) is estimated to identify precision and is located in 4 measuring points (bladder, prostate, rectal anterior wall and rectal posterior wall) to analyzed treatment planning and measured value. Results : Prostate volume and rectum volume of prostate cancer patient represent 30.61 cc and 51.19 cc respectively. In case of a phantom, prostate volume and rectum volume represent 31.12 cc and 53.52 cc respectively. A variation of volume between a prostate cancer patient and a phantom is less than 3%. Precision of MOSFET represents less than 3%. It indicates linearity and correlation coefficient indicates from 0.99 ~ 1.00 depending on dose variation. Each accuracy of bladder, prostate, rectal anterior wall and rectal posterior wall represent 1.4%, 2.6%, 3.7% and 1.5% respectively. In- vivo dosimetry represents entirely less than 5% considering precision of MOSFET. Conclusion : By using a 3D printer, possibility of phantom production based on prostate is verified precision within 3%. effectiveness of In-vivo dosimetry is confirmed from a phantom which is produced by a 3D printer. In-vivo dosimetry is evaluated entirely less than 5% considering precision of MOSFET. Therefore, This study is confirmed the usefulness of a 3D printed phantom for in-vivo dosimetry of a prostate cancer patient. It is necessary to additional phantom production by a 3D printer and In-vivo dosimetry for other organs of patient.

초기생애단계의 일본송사리를 실험어류로 사용하여 TCDD와 PCB 126의 생물농축정도를 비교 측정하였고, TCDD와 PCB 126의 체외 배설에 대한 동태학적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 생물농축실험은 초기생애단계의 새끼치어 및 어린 물고기에 TCDD와 PCB 126을 여러 농도로 물에 용해시켜 96시간 동안 정체된 상태로 폭로시킨 후 생물농축계수(BCF)와 지방-표준화한 생물농축계수(BCF$_{L}$)를 측정하였다. TCDD와 PCB 126의 일본송사리 초기생애단계의 새끼치어 및 어린 물고기에서 측정된 96-h BCF값 및 96-h BCF$_{L}$값은 폭로된 농도와 상관없이 비슷하게 나타나 반면, 생체크기가 클수록 그 값은 작게 나타났다. 일본송사리 새끼치어, 어린 물고기, 성어의 생체 내 총 지방함량은 각각 5.7, 4.2, 4.6%로 측정되었다. 체외배설 동태실험은 어린 물고기에 TCDD와 PCB 126을 3가지 농도롤 물에 용해시켜 96시간 동안 정체된 상태로 폭로시킨 후, flow-through장치로 공급되는 맑은 물로 옮겨 42일간 사양하면서 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42일에 생체 내 TCDD와 PCB 126 잔류량을 측정하여 분석하였다. 배설은 1차 반응속도론적으로 이루어졌으며 한 구획모형보다 두 구획모형이 더 적합한 것으로 분석되었다. 두 구획모형을 사용한 분석에서 TCDD와 PCB 126의 체외배설 반감기(t$\frac{1}{2}$) 및 배설속도상수($\beta$)는 각각 27.2일과 32.3일 및 0.025/d와 0.021/d로 측정되었다.

임분 단위의 재적 및 생체량은 LiDAR 자료의 높이 분포변수들로부터 추정될 수 있다. LiDAR 자료의 높이 분포변수들은 재적을 측정하는 임분고(stand height)와 임분평균 지하고(mean crown base height), 그리고 수관형태에 따른 평균수관장(mean crown depth) 등의 변수와 직 간접적인 연관성이 있다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 잣나무림의 샘플지역에서 반사된 LiDAR 자료의 높이분포변수를 이용하여 임분단위의 수간재적을 추정한 다음, 앞 세부연구에서 수행한 방법을 이용하여 임분의 생체량을 추정하였다. 변수는 임분 내에서 반사되는 LiDAR 자료의 평균높이, 최대 최소높이, 높이값들의 표준편차, 변이계수, 첨도, 왜도, 식생반사비율, 10분위 높이자료와 강도데이터의 기술통계량 등을 사용하였다. 그리고, 최종적인 임분수간재적은 다중회귀분석을 통하여 수행되었다. 다중회귀분석을 통하여 각 변수들은 임분수간재적과 가장 관련있는 2~3개의 변수들로 추려졌으며, 추정된 회귀식의 결정계수는 0.66으로 분석되었다. 또한 유보표본을 이용하여 검증한 결과의 결정계수는 0.59로 분석되어 LiDAR 자료의 높이분포변수들은 임분의 재적을 비교적 잘 설명할 수 있음이 밝혀졌다.

We measured seedling growth, foliar nutrient and extract concentrations of 3-year-old Ginkgo biloba seedlings growing in a nursery following a single fertilization with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and nitrogen plus phosphorus (N+P) fertilizers. Fertilization did not change foliage, stem and root biomass of the seedlings except for the high N+P treatment, Foliar N and P concentrations following fertilization varied according to the amount of fertilizers. In general, foliar N and P concentrations increased with fertilization, but fertilization with 400kg N/ha and 100kg P/ha decreased foliar N and P concentrations, respectively. Seedling growth and foliar nutrient concentrations showed that N and P were the growth-limiting nutrients in our study site. It was found that fertilization reduced the concentrations of secondary metabolites (Ginkgo flavon glycosides and terpene lactones) in foliages. It seemed there was a relationship between foliage biomass production and secondary chemicals in G. biloba seedlings.
