Site index information given from forest site map only exist in the sampled locations. In this study, site index for unsampled locations were estimated using kriging interpolation method which can interpolate values between point samples to generate a continuous surface. Site index of Pinus densiplora in Danyang area were calculated using Chapman-Richards model by plot unit. Then site index for unsampled locations were interpolated by theoretical variogram models and ordinary kriging. Also in order to assess parameter selection, cross-validation was performed by calculating mean error (ME), average standard error (ASE) and root mean square error (RMSE). In result, gaussian model was excluded because of the biggest relative nugget (37.40%). Then spherical model (16.80%) and exponential model (8.77%) were selected. Site index estimates of Pinus densiplora throughout the entire area in Danyang showed 4.39~19.53 based on exponential model, and 4.54~19.23 based on spherical model. By cross-validation, RMSE had almost no difference. But ME and ASE from spherical model were slightly lower than exponential model. Therefore site index prediction map from spherical model were finally selected. Average site index from site prediction map was 10.78. It can be expected that regional variance can be considered by site index prediction map in order to estimate forest biomass which has big spatial variance and eventually it is helpful to improve an accuracy of forest carbon estimation.

팔머가뭄지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index, PDSI)는 미국의 서부 캔자스와 아이오와 지역을 기반으로 Palmer(1965)에 의해 개발된 가뭄지수이다. PDSI는 가뭄을 정량적으로 표현하기 위해 제안된 최초의 포괄적인 가뭄지수라 할 수 있으며, 하나의 기상인자가 아닌 수문순환을 구성하는 여러 가지 인자들의 복합적인 작용에 의해 가뭄이 나타난다는 점에 착안하고 있다. Palmer(1965)는 캔자스와 아이오와 지역의 자료를 이용하여 산정된 수분 편차지수를 이용하여 가뭄지속기간에 대한 합을 산정하고 각각의 지속기간별로 가장 작은 값의 분포를 검토한 후 이를 기반으로 가뭄심도 분류를 위한 가뭄단계를 제시하였으며, 수분편차지수와 이전 월의 PDSI를 이용하여 분석 대상 월의 PDSI 산정을 위한 관계식을 유도하여 제시하였다. Palmer(1965)는 최대 가뭄지속기간에 대한 검토를 통해 유도된 가뭄지수 산정공식을 가뭄기 및 습윤기에 관계없이 동일하게 적용하였다. 그러나 습윤기의 경우 가뭄기간에 대해 분석된 직선과는 다른 패턴을 보일 수 있으며, 이로 인해 습윤 상태에 대해 산정된 지수는 실제 상황과 다른 결과를 나타낼 가능성이 있다. Wells 등(2004)은 이러한 점을 고려하여 가뭄기와 습윤기에 대한 지속기간별 최대 수분편차지수의 합을 도시한 결과를 나타낸 후 가뭄기와 습윤기의 특성이 다르게 나타남을 제시하였으며, 최종적으로 가뭄기와 습윤기에 대해 PDSI 산정공식의 지속기간 인자(duration factor)를 분리하여 산정할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 Wells 등(2004)에 의해 제시된 PDSI 산정공식 유도방법을 우리나라의 관측자료에 적용한 후 그 결과를 검토하였다. 그 결과 가뭄기의 경우 기존 Palmer(1965)의 결과와 매우 유사한 가뭄지수 산정 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나 습윤기에 대해 산정된 결과는 매우 다른 특성을 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다. PDSI는 가뭄 모니터링 및 관리를 위한 지표로 널리 이용되고 있으므로 적절치 못한 지수 값이 제시될 경우 효율적인 가뭄 대책 수립을 어렵게 하는 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 결과는 가뭄관리 및 모니터링을 위해 PDSI를 이용함에 있어 보다 정확한 지표를 제공하기 위해 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

지하수 수질자료의 분포가 광역적이고 자료의 수가 많은 지역과 자료의 분포가 국부적이고 갯수가 적은 지역을 선정하여, 모수적 통계기법인 정규크리깅과 비모수적 통계기법인 지시크리깅을 동시에 적용하였다. 베리오그램 분석은 각 수질자료의 원시 자료와 제한값을 적용하여 제한값 보다 낮거나 동일하면 '1' 의 값으로, 제한값 보다 높으면 '0' 의 값으로 변환된 자료에 대해 실시하였는데, 원시 염소이온 성분은 선형 모델이 선정되었으며, 비소 성분은 지수형 모델이 가장 적합한 것으로 선정되었다. 변환된 염소이온 성분과 비소 성분은 모두 구상형 모델이 가장 적합한 것으로 선정되었다. 정규크리깅과 지시크리깅 기법을 이용하여 지하수 오염 분포도를 작성하여 비교해 본 결과, 정규크리깅 기법은 연구지역의 자료 분포, 갯수와 범위의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났고, 지시크리깅 기법은 연구지역의 자료 분포와 특히 제한값에 따라 변환된 자료의 갯수의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 정량적으로 나타낼 수 정규크리깅 기법과 정성적으로 나타낼 수 있는 지시크리깅 기법을 같이 적용한다면 지하수 오염 현황을 효과적으로 파악할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to predict the potential distribution and risk of invasive alien plant, Amaranthus patulus, in an agricultural area of South Korea. We collected 254 presence localities of A. patulus using field survey and literature search and stimulated the potential distribution area of A. patulus using maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt) with six climatic variables. Two different kinds of agricultural risk index, raster risk index and regional risk index, were estimated. The 'raster risk index' was calculated by multiplying the potential distribution by the field area in $1{\times}1km$ and 'regional risk index' was calculated by multiplying the potential distribution by field area proportion in the total field of South Korea. The predicted potential distribution of A. patulus was almost matched with actual presence data. The annual mean temperature had the highest contribution for distribution modeling of A. patulus. Area under curve (AUC) value of the model was 0.711. The highest regions were Gwangju for potential distribution, Jeju for 'raster risk index' and Gyeongbuk for 'regional risk index'. This different ranks among the index showed the importance about the development of various risk index for evaluating invasive plant risk.

CFD(computational fluid dynamics) model is developed to simulate direct injection of ammonia gas phase from ammonia transporting materials into the SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe of the engine with solid SCR. Configurations of one-hole and four-hole nozzle, circumferential type, porous tube type, and the effect of mixer configurations which commonly used in liquid injection of AdBlue are considered for complex geometries. Mal-distribution index related to concentration of ammonia gas, flow uniformity index related to velocity distribution, and pressure drop related to flow resistance are compared for different configurations of complex geometries at the front section of SCR catalyst. These results are used to design the injection system of ammonia gas phase for solid SCR of target vehicle.

Benthic animals are important indicators in benthic environmental quality assessment. This study investigated the environmental characteristics and the distribution pattern of benthic animals, and assessed the benthic ecosystem using AMBI (AZTI's marine biotic index) and WQI (water quality index) in the subtidal zone of Muan bay. Samplings were collected from 10 stations in the subtidal zone of Muan bay on summer. In the upper area of Muan bay, grain size was finer and organic content was higher than those of in the lower area. The pollution indicator organism such as Musculista senhousia, Theora fragilis and Lumbrineris longifolia were dominant at some stations. The benthic community was distinguished into three groups of upper, center and lower area of Muan bay, and which were coincided with the results by correlation analysis between organic matter content and benthic health assessment (WQI and AMBI). As a result of this study, the health condition of the subtidal zone in Muan bay were good. However, from the results that benthic animals were not evenly distributed, and also the opportunistic species appeared, the load of organic matter in Muan bay seems to be increasing.

The purpose of this study was to estimate height growth pattern and to derive site index equation for Pinus densiflora grown at Mt. Osu region, Chungnam. A total of 21 repre - sentative trees from the established temporary plots around Boryeng and Cheongyang regions were destructively sampled to measure diameter, height, volume growth per 1-year interval by using of DTRS- 2000 measurement instrument. The Schnute growth function was select ed for height growth prediction using 181 height-age paired observations and derived anamorphic base age invariant site index curves (base index age 30 years). The fitted index and the asymptotic value of Schnute model indicated both 0.96 and 10.8 meter, respectively. The results suggested in this study could be very useful to understand the height growth pattern and productivity of the site quality on Pinus densiflora grown at Mt. Osu region, Chungnam.

Neck pain was commonly experienced by both adolescents and adults. The neck disability index(NDI) was the most commonly used self-report measure for evaluating status in neck pain. The objective of this study is to research the prevalence of the NDI in their 20's of college students in department of physical therapy. The data were collected from the NDI questionnaire of college students(males: 229, females: 405) for functional disability measures. Statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS 12.0 program, which was used for descriptive statistics, independent samples test and Pearson correlation analysis. The results were : First, 'headache' item was showed 'the highest prevalence' in second choice demonstrating the neck disability and 'pain intensity' in third choice. Second, female(46.4%) was higher distribution than male(36.3%) on score, percentage and grade of NDI(p<0.05). Third, the NDI grade was investigated that it is composed of 'no disability(63.8%)', 'mild disability(35.4%)', and 'moderate disability(0.9%)' in male and 'no disability(53.6%)', 'mild disability(44.7%)', 'moderate disability(1.5%)' and 'severe disability(0.2%)' in female. Fourth, there was a statically significant relationship between NDI grade and NDI items(p<0.05). These results have specific meaning as future clinical and epidemiological studies. Also, it is needed to education and preparation on prevention and management of neck disability among college students.
