This study investigated the effects of the urban forest and street trees on flow and temperature distribution in the Daegu National Debt Redemption Movement Memorial Park. For this, we implemented tree-drag and tree-cooling parameterization schemes in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and validated the simulated wind speeds, wind directions, and air temperatures against the measured ones. We used the wind speeds, wind directions, air temperatures predicted by the local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS) as the inflow boundary conditions. To investigate the flow and thermal characteristics in the presence of trees in the target area, we conducted numerical experiments in the absence and presence of trees. In the absence of trees, strong winds and monotonous flows were formed inside the park, because there were no obstacles inducing friction. The temperature was inversely proportional to the wind speed. In the presence of trees, the wind speeds(temperatures) were reduced by more than 40 (5)% inside the park with a high planting density due to the tree drag (cooling) effect, and those also affected the wind speeds and temperatures outside the park. Even near the roadside, the wind speeds and temperatures were generally reduced by the trees, but the wind speeds and air temperatures increased partly due to the change in the flow pattern caused by tree drag.

Electrical energy is a key source of energy for modern civilization, and changes in electricity generation and consumption are closely related to industry and life in general. In this study, we identified the correlation between electricity generation and nighttime light values in South Korea and used it to predict monthly electricity generation trends in North Korea. The results of the study showed a low Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.34 between nighttime light and electricity generation in Seoul, but a high Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.79 between weighting for Seoul case nighttime light values and electricity generation using monthly average temperature. Using nighttime light values weighting for Seoul case by the average monthly temperature in Pyongyang to predict the monthly power generation trend in North Korea, we found that the month-on-month power generation increase in December 2022 was about 60% higher than the month-on-month power generation increase in December 2020 and 2021. The results of this study are expected to help predict monthly electricity generation trends in regions where monthly electricity generation data does not exist, making it difficult to identify timely industry trends.

Granite soil has been used traditionally as a school playground surface. Natural turf has also been used in some schools. Recently artificial turf has come into common use instead of granite soil or natural turf. Artificial turf playgrounds are used at 174 schools in Seoul, Korea. More than 3,500 artificial turf fields are installed in the United States. Because of the increase of artificial turf usage, there are many studies about the estimation of artificial turf effects to environment. Compared with artificial turf material effects such as characterization of substances released from material, and recognition of volatility of heavy metal into the surrounding environment - air or the percolating rainwater -, less studies for thermal effects of artificial turf playground have been done. Especially, the corresponding studies in Korea are few. Thus, the purpose of this research is to compare the thermal effects of artificial turf on school playground between natural turf and granite soil. In this study, air temperature and Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) were compared in three scenarios by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. Additionally, the results were validated through a field measurement. Air temperature decreasing effects by natural turf are greater than those by artificial turf and granite soil at 14:30 on 20th, July 2011. It shows the same decreasing effects at 23:30. However, the difference is less than that of daytime. PMV differences between natural turf and the other two surface covers are large at daytime while those are much less at nighttime. Consequently, air temperature and PMV of artificial turf are the highest among three school playground surface pavements.

The influence of small urban parks(green ratio is 100%) on the temperature pattern over the urban and its surrounding area was examined by analyzing the case of in and around Changkyeong palace, Changdeok plalace and Jongmyo, Jongro-gu, Seoul. The pattern of temperature over urban parks and their surrounding built-up area was analyzed from September to November 2000, measuring maximum and minimum temperatures with fixed sensors(maximum and minimum thermometer)and real-time temperature depends largely on both the land-use type and the distance from the park border. In the case of maximum temperature, the lowest value appeared on the green area within parks and the highest value on the built-up area far from the green area. The maximum temperature difference between parks and built-up areas was up to $7.3^{\circ}C$. In the built-up area, the maximum temperature of commercial areas was higher than residential areas. In the night time, not only land-use type but also topography is important for the spatial distributlon of temperature because of the cold airflow from adjacet hills. The horizontal temperature profile by mobile measurement is also related to land-use type and to the distance from the park borders. There is a magnitude of $1^{\circ}C$ temperture difference over a distance of 200m and $3~4^{\circ}C$ over a distance of 400m from the park borders.

This study was performed to suggest the basic information for the development of covering method for increasing the effect of heat conservation in the unheated vinyl houses. Double and single covered vinyl houses were constructed and the inside temperature variation of the double covered vinyl house was compared to the single covered vinyl house. The results obtained for the vinyl houses were summarized as follows ; 1. With the outside temperature of $-1.0^{\circ}C{\sim}7.5^{\circ}C$ and the solar radiation of maximum $1.02MJ/m^2$, the double covered vinyl house was shown $1.2^{\circ}C$ higher than the single covered vinyl house in the daily mean of inside temperature. 2. The inside temperature of the double covered vinyl house was $2.3^{\circ}C$ higher in the daytime and $1.2^{\circ}C$ higher in the nighttime than that of the single covered vinyl house. 3. The inside temperature of the vinyl house were expressed by the formular (1)-(6) with the outside temperature and by the formular (7)-(10) with the solar radiation. 4. In the effect of heat conservation based on the outside temperature, the double covered vinyl house was 1.2 times in the daytime and 1.76 times in the nighttime in comparison with the single covered vinyl house.

Effects of DIF on stem elongation in plug seedlings of mini tomato ‘Mini Carol’ and on the growth and flowering after transplanting were investigated. Stem elongation of seedlings was mainly influenced by day temperature rather than night temperature. When the effect of ＋DIF was compared to that of -DIF under the same average daily temperature(ADT), day temperature had greater impact on internode elongation than night temperature. On the other hand, leaf unfolding rate increased and compactness decreased as ADT in creased. Differences in internode length affected by DIF during seedlings stage DIF progressively diminished during growth period after transplanting. Node position at which first flower was initiated was lowered as ADT decreased. It was concluded that DIF treatment was an applicable tool for control of stem elongation, particularly to reduce stem length without a noticeably adverse effect on the growth and development of plant after transplanting.

최근 국내에서도 시설원예가 급격하게 보급되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만, 시설원예가 에너지 소비형의 농경방식이라 지적되고 있는바 에너지절약형 온실의 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단되어, 본 실험실에서는 본 연구와 관련하여 비닐하우스의 벽체를 이중으로 하여 이중벽사이에 단열입자를 송풍기의 케이싱내로 직접 통하게하는 직송방식으로 충전ㆍ회수하는 실험을 실시한 바가 있으며, 그 결과 외기온의 평균이 -4.9$^{\circ}C$인 겨울철 야간에 입자를 충전한 이중비닐 하우스의 내부온도는 평균 9.8$^{\circ}C$로 단열성이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.(중략)

A variety of micro meteorological variables such as air temperature, wind, solar radiation and latent heat at Gwangneung forests (conifer and broadleaved forests) and AWS (Automated Weather Station) of Pocheon urban area were used to quantify the air temperature reduction effect of forests, which is considered to be an eco-friendly solution for reducing the urban heat island intensity during summer. In June, July and August of 2016 and 2017, the average maximum air temperature differences between above and below canopy of forests, and between the forests and urban areas were $-1.9^{\circ}C$ and $-3.4^{\circ}C$ respectively, and they occurred at 17:00. However, there was no difference between conifer and broadleaved forests. The effect of air temperature reduction by the forests was positively correlated with accumulated evapotranspiration and solar radiation from 14:00 to 17:00 and showed a negative correlation with wind speed. We have developed a model to quantify the effect of air temperature reduction by forests using these variables. The nighttime air temperature reduction effect by forests was due to the generation of cold air from radiative cooling and the air temperature inversion phenomenon that occurs when the generated cold air moves down the side of mountain. The model was evaluated in Seoul by using 28 AWSs. The evaluation shows that the air temperature of each district in Seoul was negatively correlated with the area and size of the surrounding tall vegetation that drives vegetation evapotranspiration during the day. During the night, however, the size of the surrounding tall vegetation and the elevations of nearby mountains were the main influencing factors on the air temperature. Our research emphasizes the importance of the establishment and management of urban forests and the composition of wind roads from mountains for urban air temperature reduction.

지방상수도의 관 파손사고 감지 및 누수관리 방법에는 블록시스템 구축을 통한 소블록별 야간최소유량 감시방법이 가장 대표적이다. 야간최소유량은 새벽 2시와 4시 사이의 인구 활동 비율이 가장 낮은 새벽 시간대에 소블록에 공급된 유량을 의미하며, 대부분 유량 성분은 누수량일 것이라는 가정에서 출발한다. 그러나 아파트 중심의 주거 형태를 보이는 도심지의 경우, 새벽 시간대에도 다량의 물수요가 비정기적으로 발생하고 있어 관망의 이상 여부를 감시하기 위한 관리기준으로서 야간최소유량을 이용하기에는 높은 일간 변동성에 따른 한계가 있다고 할 수 있다. 즉, 야간최소유량은 관 파손사고 발생의 감시보다는 관로 연결 또는 급수전 분기 부위에서 발생하는 미량의 누수가 수개월에 걸쳐 누적되는 장기추세를 분석하여 누수탐사반의 투입 시점을 결정하기 위한 근거를 제시하기 위한 목적으로 사용되며, 아직까지 관 파손사고의 발생은 자체적인 감지보다는 민원에 의해 인지되는 경우가 많다. 최근, 스마트관망 구축사업(SWM) 등을 통해 관 파손 및 누수 감지를 위한 청음식 누수감지센서가 소블록 내 도입되고 있으나, 초기 시설투자에 큰 비용이 수반되며 주변 소음과 배터리 전원방식의 한계로 인하여 새벽 시간대에만 분석이 제한적으로 적용되는 경우가 많아 이 역시도 상시적인 관 파손사고의 감시기술이라 보기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 소블록 유입점에서의 유량·압력과 소블록 내에 설치된 대수용가 스마트미터, 그리고 사고감지를 위한 수압계 사이의 평상시 수리적 균형을 학습한 DNN(Deep Neural Network) 모델을 이용하여 관 파손사고를 실시간 감지하는 모델 개발연구를 수행하였다. 모델은 관 파손사고 감지를 위한 수압계의 최적 위치와 대수를 결정하기 위한 모듈과 관 파손사고 감지모듈로 구성되며, 1개 소블록 Test-Bed를 구축하여 모델을 생성하고 PDD 관망해석 모델을 통해 생성된 가상의 사고에 대한 감지 여부로서 개발 모델의 감지성능을 평가하였다.
