Previous research on the management of health care organization has heavily focused on health care quality and operational efficiency, whereas this research deals with flexibility, an important strategic priority in the field of operations management. Particularly, this research analyzes the effects that internal and external resources of volume and product flexibilities have on the organization's financial performance. Survey data from various types of sampled domestic hospitals have been collected using the developed questionnaire and analyzed with a regression model. The results show that volume flexibility based on internal resources has not only main effects but also interaction effects with internal and external resources of product flexibility. However, volume flexibility based on external resources is not shown to have any effect on performance. The explanation and managerial implications from the results are discussed.

본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형의 국내 적용을 위해 농업용저수지의 관개특성을 분석하기 위한 자료 구축과 적용성 분석을 실시하였다 SWAT 모형의 입력자료는 토지이용도, 토양도, 강우관측자료를 사용하였으며 HOMWRS의 입력자료는 토지이용도, 강우 자료로 유출량을 산정하였다. 본 연구는 소규모의 관개용 저수지와 논농사가 주로 행하여지는 전형적인 우리나라의 농촌용수지구인 이동저수지 상부유역인 농업소유역에 SWAT 모형을 적용하였다. 이 지구는 관개지구의 환원수량, 저수지의 여수로 방류량 및 용수 사용량 등에 따라 저수지의 유입하천 및 하류하천의 장기유출량에 복잡한 형태로 영향을 미치고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 복잡한 농업용 소유역에서의 장기유출량 해석 기술을 정립하고자 이동저수지 유역을 12개의 대표적인 소유역으로 분할하였으며 우선적으로 저수지의 영향이 있고 없느냐에 따라 4개의 소유역인 미산교, 묵방교, 덕성교, 재인교의 소유역을 선정하였고 이 지점에서 관측된 장기유출량 자료를 이용하여 일별, 월별 장기유출량추정을 실시하였다. 추정한 결과 저수지가 설치되어 있지 않은 미산교, 묵방교에서의 일별, 월별장기유출량은 실측치와 매우 가까운 값을 보였다. 그러나 상류지점에 저수지가 설치되어 있는 덕성교와 재인교에서의 장기유출량은 관측값과 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으나 실측값과 차이를 보이고 있었다. 그러므로 향후에 이루어질 연구는 저수지의 영향, 환원수량, 관개수량이 장기유출량에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

기후변화에 따른 수해를 대비하기 위해서는 미래의 확률강수량을 알아야 한다. Global Circulation Model(GCM)은 미래의 기후변화를 예측하기 위하여 많은 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있다. GCM의 시간축척은 일반적으로 월단위로 시간단위 자료를 사용하는 수공학 분야에 직접적으로 적용하기에는 많은 문제가 있다. 또한 GCM 예측값은 실강우값과 큰 편의(bias)를 가지고 있어 직접적인 적용이 힘들다. 이런 문제를 해결하고자 다양한 다운스케일(downscale)기법이 연구되고 있다. 다운스케일기법을 적용하여 시간자료를 예측하면 전반적인 통계값을 잘 재현해내나, 극치값의 경우 잘 재현해내지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이런 문제점을 극복하고자 본 연구에서는 연최대 월강수량과 연최대 시간강수량의 이변량빈도해석을 통하여 기후변화를 고려한 강우-지속기간-빈도 관계의 변화를 평가해보고자 한다. 본 연구는 연최대 월강수량과 연최대 시간강수량과의 관계가 변하지 않는다는 가정하에 관측강수량을 이용하여 연최대 월강수량과 연최대 시간강수량의 이변량분포모형을 구축하였다. 이변량 분포모형을 구축하기 위하여 copula 모형을 적용하였다. 구축된 모형에 GCM으로 예측된 연최대 월강수량을 적용하여 미래의 확률강수량을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 서울지점을 대상지점으로 선정하였으며, A2 기후변화시나리오를 적용한 GCM 예측값을 이용하였다. 적용결과 A2 기후변화 시나리오 상에서 미래의 확률강수량이 크게 증가하는 것이 확인되었다.

This study simulated the effect of the quantity flexibility contract(QFC) on the Korean military inventory system. The results shows that the QFC make the inventory system more efficient. For validity of this study, we assume the basic four demand patterns (increase, decrease, high variation and long seasonality) which are the exogenous variables of these simulation systems. We measured the difference of the traditional military inventory system's and new QFC system's performances. Under the all demand patterns, QFC models have little inventory than the traditional systems. We suggest, therefore, the military change the supply contract into QFC for decrease inventory and expect the results of this study applied to the company level.

가상수(假想水, Virtual Water)란 일정량의 농산물, 축산물, 공산품과 같은 생산품 혹은 서비스 제공에 필요한 물의 양을 뜻하는 것으로 1990년대 초반 Tony Allan 교수가 처음 제시하였다. 본 연구는 Chapagain and Hoekstra(2004)이 제시한 농축산물 및 공산품의 단위 가상수량 산정방법을 분석 및 적용하여 1998년부터 2007년까지 우리나라의 가상수 수출입량을 산정하였다. 또한 가상수 수출입을 국가간 정량화하는 방법론으로 물발자국(Water Footprint)이론을 이용하였다. 그리고 2006년 우리나라 농작물 생산량에 단위 가상수량을 적용하여 수자원장기종합계획(건설교통부, 2006)의 농업용수 수요량과 비교함으로써 단위 가상수 사용의 적절성을 검토하였다. 연구결과 현재 우리나라는 연평균 320억$m^3$의 가상수를 농축산물 및 공산품의 무역을 통하여 순수입하고 있으며 그 양은 지속적으로 증가추세를 보이고 있다. 생산되는 농작물의 가상수량과 농업용수 수요량의 차이는 약 6억$m^3$으로서 전체 수요량이 약 160억$m^3$인 점을 감안한다면 상대적으로 근소한 차이로서 본 연구에서 적용한 단위 가상수량 산정방법이 타당함을 입증하였다.

Understanding characteristics of claypan soils has long been an issue for researchers and farmers because the high-clay subsoil has a pronounced effect on grain crop productivity. The claypan restricts water infiltration and storage within the crop root zone, but these effects are not uniform within fields. Conventional techniques of identifying claypan soil characteristics require manual probing and analysis which can be quite expensive; an expense most farmers are unwilling to pay. On the other hand, farmers would be very interested if this information could be obtained with easy-to-use field sensors. Two examples of sensors that show promise for helping in claypan soil characterization are soil profile strength sensing and bulk soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa). Little has been reported on claypan soils relating the combined information from these two sensors with grain crop yield. The objective of this research was to identify the relationships of sensed profile soil strength and soil EC with nine years of crop yield (maize and soybean) from a claypan soil field in central Missouri. A multiple-probe (five probes on 19-cm spacing) cone penetrometer was used to measure soil strength and an electromagnetic induction sensor was used to measure soil EC at 55 grid site locations within a 4-ha research field. Crop yields were obtained using a combine equipped with a yield monitoring system. Soil strength at the 15 to 45 cm soil depth were significantly correlated to crop yield and ECa. Estimated crop yields from apparent electrical conductivity and soil strength were validated with an independent data set. Using measurements from these two sensors, standard error rates for estimating yield ranged from 9 to 16%. In conclusion, these results showed that the sensed profile soil strength and soil EC could be used as a measure of the soil productivity for grain crop production.

The limitations of existing Markov chain model for reproducing extreme rainfalls are a known problem, and the problems have increased the uncertainties in establishing water resources plans. Especially, it is very difficult to secure reliability of water resources structures because the design rainfall through the existing Markov chain model are significantly underestimated. In this regard, aims of this study were to develop a new daily rainfall simulation model which is able to reproduce both mean and high order moments such as variance and skewness using a piecewise Kernel-Pareto distribution. The proposed methods were applied to summer and fall season rainfall at three stations in Han river watershed in Korea. The proposed Kernel-Pareto distribution based Markov chain model has been shown to perform well at reproducing most of statistics such as mean, standard deviation and skewness while the existing Gamma distribution based Markov chain model generally fails to reproduce high order moments. It was also confirmed that the proposed model can more effectively reproduce low order moments such as mean and median as well as underlying distribution of daily rainfall series by modeling extreme rainfall separately.

The mount of antecedent 5-day rainfall (P5) is usually used to determine the antecedent soil moisture condition for estimating effective rainfall using the NRCS-CN method. In order to re-establish the threshold of P5 considering basin characteristics, this study investigated the sensitivity of the threshold of P5 to effective rainfall by comparing the corresponding observed direct runoff. The overall results indicate that the direct runoff estimated using the re-establihed threshold of P5 has smaller mean error (RMSE of 27.3 mm) than those using the conventional threshold (RMSE of 35.2 mm). In addition, after evaluating the effectiveness of threshold of P5 using the improvement index, the threshold re-established in this study improved the ability to estimate the direct runoff by 30% on average. This study also suggested to employ regression models using topographic indices to re-establish the threshold for ungauged basins. When using the re-established threshold from the regression model, the RMSE decreased ranging from 0.4 mm to 15.1 mm and the efficiency index of Nash and Sutcliffe increased up to 0.33.

In 60 years when the double $CO_2$concentration is anticipated the average annual rainfall depth is expected to be increased by 5 10% due to global warming. However, in the water resources area the frequency change of meteorological extremes such as droughts and floods attracts more interests than the increase of annual rainfall amount. Even though recent frequent occurrences of this kind of meteorological extremes are assumed as an indirect proof of global warming, the prediction of its overall tendency has not yet been made. Thus, in this research we propose a possible methodology to be used for its prediction. The methodology proposed is based on the frequency distribution of daily rainfall be Todorovie and Woolhiser(1975), and Katz(1977), where the input parameters are modified to consider the change of monthly or annual rainfall depth and, thus, to result in the change of frequency distribution. We adopt two values(10mm, 50mm) as thresholds and investigate the change of occurrence probability due to the change monthly and annual rainfall depth. these changes do not directly indicate the changes of occurrence probability of floods and droughts, but it may still be a very useful information for their prediction. Finally, the changes of occurrence probability were found to be greater when considering the monthly rainfall rather than the annual rainfall, and those in rainy season than those in dry season.

In this study, in order to analyze the possibility of observing a typhoon track based on the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS), Typhoon NARI, the 11th typhoon of 2007, was analyzed in terms of the typhoon track as well as the local variation of perceptible water over time. The perceptible water was estimated using data obtained from observatories located on the typhoon track from Jeju to the southern coast of Korea for a total of 18 days from September 7(DOY 250) to September 24(DOY 267), 2007, including the period when the observatories were affected by the typhoon at full-scale, as well as one previous week and one following week. The results show that the trend of the variation of perceptible water was similar between the observatories near the typhoon track. Variation of perceptible water over time depending on the development and landing of the typhoon was distinctively observed. Several hours after the daily maximum of perceptible water was found at the JEJU Observatory, the first struck by the typhoon on the typhoon track, the maximum value was found at other observatories located on the southern coast. In the observation period, the time point at which the maximum perceptible water was recorded in each location was almost the same as the time point at which the typhoon landed at the location. To analyze the accuracy of the GNSS-based perceptible water measurement, the data were compared with radiosonde-based perceptible water data. The mean error was 0.0cm, and the root mean square error and the standard deviation were both 0.3cm, indicating that the GNSS-based perceptible water data were highly accurate and precise. The results of the this study show that the GNSS-based perceptible water data may be used as highly accurate information for the analysis of typhoon tracks over time.
