This study suggests a method of alleviating global warming by the increase of the Earth surface albedo through Artificial Sea ice Increasing (ASI) over the Available Freezing Areas (AFA). The method is developed based on the fact that the large sea surface area in or near the Arctic and the Antarctic has no ice even though both water and air temperatures are below zero and the artificial sea ice generation is thus available. The mean energy of $0.85Wm^{-2}$, which was suspected of adding to the earth by the global warming effect was calculated to offset at once when the sea ice area about $4.09{\times}10^6km^2$ was additionally increased. In addition, three techniques for producing ice plates on the sea surface (using ships, installation apparatus, and floating matter such as Green Cell Foam) for ASI were proposed. According to the result of simple analysis using the energy balance model, when ASI was maximally operated only for 3 months (September, October, and November) over AFA, it is expected that the annual mean temperature of earth surface would be decreased about $0.11^{\circ}C$ in the following year. On the other hand, in case of generating the artificial sea ice in all four seasons, a risk of triggering snowball earth was detected.

This paper proposes a flyback diode of bridgeless PFC converter as SiC SBD (Schottky Barrier Diode) to achieve high efficiency. In addition, through the explanation of the operation principle of the bridgeless PFC converter, the conduction section of the freewheel diode is shown in the bridgeless PFC converter to verify the contribution of system loss due to the loss of the freewheel diode. The advantages of the SiC SBD device's physical properties and the reverse recovery characteristics are explained, and the efficiency is measured by measuring the turn-on and turn-off losses. The loss was calculated. The simulation results were calculated in consideration of device characteristics and verified through the waveform analysis and comparison of the actual system. In order to consider the device characteristics, the simulation was conducted using the thermal module of PSIM. As a result of the prototype test, the turn-on loss was 0.608W and the turn-off loss was 21.62W, resulting in the total switching loss of 22.228W. The comparison of the two results proved the validity of the experimental method. In addition, a high efficiency of 94.58% is achieved.

Eighteen oriented samples from the Jeongsun limestone of the Joseon Supergroup are collected. The orientations of C-axis of calcite and e twin plane, the average thickness, numbers of twins and the widths of calcite grains in 10 samples are measured. Then, the twin strain, mean width, intensity of twin and relative magnitude and orientations of principal stresses are calculated using Calcite Strain Gauge program. Twin strain, mean width and intensitv rainge between 0.801%~10.927%, $0.43{\mu\textrm{m}}~2.03{\mu\textrm{m}}$, and 33.5~113.4twim/mm, respectively. Metamorphic temperatures calculated from twin show below $70^{\circ}C$, indicating that twins were developed within 2.3km depth. In five samples, two events with different orientations of principal stress produced calcite twins, while only one event produced calcite twins in five samples. The direction of the maximum stress is almost horizontal and the minimum is almost vertical, indicating that the stress regirne is identical with thrust fault. E-W and NW-SE are the most dominant directions of comressive stress and N-S and NE-SW directions are also shown. Comparision between paleostress orientations measured in the study and others indicates that the maximum horizontal stress oriented to E-W may represent the paleostress of period either from the Silurian to the Triassic or from the Silulian to the Permian. Paleostress oriented to NW-SE may be the major direction of stress during the Daeho orogeny.

Aragonite is one of common polymorphs of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and formed via biological or physical processes through precipitation in many different environments including marine ecosystems. It is noted that aragonite formation and growth as well as the substitution of trace elements such as strontium (Sr) in the aragonite structure would be dependant on several key parameters such as concentrations of chemical species and temperature. In this study, properties of the incorporation of Sr into aragonite were investigated over a wide range of various saturation conditions and temperatures similar to the marine ecosystem. All pure aragonite samples were inorganically synthesized through a constant-addition method with varying concentrations of the reactive species ([Ca]=[CO₃] 0.01-1 M), injection rates of the reaction solution (0.085-17 mL/min), and solution temperatures (5-40 ℃). Pure aragonite was also formed even under the Sr incorporation conditions (0.02-0.5 M, 15-40 ℃). When temperature and saturation index (SI) with respect to aragonite increased, the crystallinity and the crystal size of aragonite increased indicating the growth of aragonite crystal. However, it was difficult to interpret the crystal growth rate because the crystal growth rate calculated using BET-specific surface area was significantly influenced by the crystal morphology. The distribution coefficient of Sr (K_Sr) into aragonite decreased from 2.37 to 1.57 with increasing concentrations of species (Ca²⁺ and CO₃^2-) at a range of 0.02-0.5 M. Similarly, it was also found that K_Sr decreased 1.90 to 1.54 at a range of 15-40 ℃. All K_Sr values are greater than 1, and the inverse correlation between the K_Sr and the crystal growth rate indicate that Sr incorporation into aragonite is in a compatible relationship.

최근의 유출해석은 지리정보체계(GIS, Geographic Information System) 및 지형자료(DEM, Digital Elevation Model 등) 구축의 발달로 대부분 격자 기반의 분포형 강우-유출 모형을 통해 이루어지고 있으며, Rodriguez-Iturbe and Valdes (1979)에 의해 소개된 통계물리학적 접근방법인 지형학적 순간단위도(GIUH)모형 역시 DEM을 기반으로 한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 온 실정이다(Maidment, 1993; D'odorico and Rigon, 2003; Di Lazzaro, 2010). 이러한 격자 기반 모형들은 대부분 8방향 최급경사에 기초한 흐름방향도를 기반으로 물의 유동을 표현한다. 8방향법에 의해 결정된 흐름방향도를 이용할 경우 각 격자 중심에서 유역출구 까지의 배수로경로길이를 비교적 쉽고, 빠르게 계산할 수 있다는 장점을 가지나, 공간해상도(격자 규모)에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내는 것을 예상할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DEM의 공간해상도에 따른 배수경로길이의 통계적 변화양상을 살펴보고, 이로부터 실제 수문사상의 통계적 특성과 Di Lazzaro(2010)의 특성유속산정 공식을 이용해 지표면과 하천의 특성유속을 산정하였다. 산정된 특성유속들을 D'odorico and Rigon(2003)이 제시한 값과 비교함으로써 격자 기반의 GIUH 모형의 적용에 있어서 적정 공간해상도를 찾고자 하였다. 대상유역으로는 국제수문개발계획(IHP, International Hydrological Project)의 금강수계 보청천 유역 중 이평수위국을 출구로하는 소유역을 선정하였으며, DEM의 공간해상도는 수치지형도의 축척을 고려하여 1: 5,000의 경우 5, 10, 15, 20m를, 1: 25,000의 경우 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200m로 결정하였다. 분석 결과 격자 형태 GIUH의 특성유속을 산정을 위한 적정 공간해상도는 1:5,000의 경우 5m를, 1:25,000의 경우에는 20～50m의 범위를 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents an efficient method for image segmentation based on a multiresolution application of a wavelet transform and watershed segmentation algorithm. The procedure toward complete segmentation consists of four steps: pyramid representation, image segmentation, region merging and region projection. First, pyramid representation creates multiresolution images using a wavelet transform. Second, image segmentation segments the lowest-resolution image of the pyramid using a watershed segmentation algorithm. Third, region merging merges the segmented regions using the third-order moment values of the wavelet coefficients. Finally, the segmented low-resolution image with label is projected into a full-resolution image (original image) by inverse wavelet transform. Experimental results of the presented method can be applied to the segmentation of noise or degraded images as well as reduce over-segmentation.

We have investigated the output power performance of a continuous-wave chromium-doped YAG laser ($Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser), pumped by a Nd: YAG laser. With an output coupler of 1% transmission, we obtained as much as 400 mW of the average output power at 1.450 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The power slope efficiency of 8%, when the gain medium was cooled to 2$0^{\circ}C$. We tuned the wavelength of the $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser, at pump power of 6 W, by using birefringent filter. As a result, lasing wavelength was tuned from 1.399 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.532 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, with the maximum output power of 340 mW at 1.4903 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the linewidth was 0.21 nm.

낙동강 홍수예경보 시스템은 낙동강 유역의 홍수피해 방지를 위해 1986년에 구축되어 낙동강홍수통제소에서 운영되어 온 이래로 여러 차례에 거친 시스템의 개선 및 보완을 통해 현재의 시스템을 갖추게 되었다. 그러나 4대강 사업을 통해 시행된 하도 준설 및 보 설치로 인한 하도 조건의 변경과 기존의 저류함수모형 및 수위-유량 관계식을 이용한 수위예측의 한계로 인해 낙동강 하도에 대한 수리해석모형 구축의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이에 따라 낙동강 홍수통제소에서는 기존의 저류함수모형을 이용한 강우-유출 해석모형과 낙동강 본류 및 주요 지류에 대한 수리해석 모형을 구축하여 연계하는 과업을 수행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천기본계획의 설계홍수량의 산정시 적용되는 HEC-HMS 모형을 통해 강우-유출해석모형을 구축하고, 낙동강 본류 및 8개 지류에 대해 FLDWAV 모형을 이용해 수리해석 모형을 구축하여 연계하였다. 수자원단위지도의 표준유역과 수위관측소 지점을 기반으로 하여 낙동강 유역을 287개의 소유역으로 분할하였고, 271개의 분할하도 및 10개의 다목적 댐 방류량을 반영하여 강우-유출 모형을 구축하였다. 수치지형도 및 토양도, 토지이용현황도를 통해 유역유출 및 하도유출에 대한 매개변수 산정하였고, 낙동강 본류 및 지류내의 주요 수위관측소를 유량의 검보정 지점으로 설정하였다. 수리학적 모형 구축을 위해 낙동강 본류의 383개의 단면 및 8개 지류의 497개 단면을 반영하였고, 그 이외의 6개 주요 지류는 측방유입으로 처리하였으며 낙동강 본류에 신설된 8개의 다기능보의 운영을 반영하였다. 각각 구축된 강우-유출 모형과 수리학적 모형은 모듈화하여 연계하였으며, 현재 낙동강홍수통제소에서 운영되고 있는 낙동, 왜관, 현풍, 진동, 삼랑진, 구포, 동촌수위관측소를 홍수예보지점으로 선정하여 모형의 검보정을 실시하였다. 구축된 모형은 낙동강홍수통제소의 홍수예보모형의 계산결과와 비교하여 적용성 및 효율성을 입증할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 낙동강에서의 실시간 홍수예 경보를 위한 홍수예보모형으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

To estimate biomass and distribution of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), hydroacoustic survey was conducted on board of R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya, which was chartered by Korea Antarctic Research Program (KARP) group from 18 to 21 December 1998, in the northern part of the South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Ocean, The scientific echo sounder (towing body type) used was EK- 500 (SIMRAD, Norway) with echo integrator (BI-500) at 38 kHz frequency and recorded mean backscattering cross-section coefficient (SA) per 1 $mile^2$ of sea surface. Also, Bongo net sampling was carried out to determine the size of krill and CTD (Conductivity, Temperature and Depth) casting to understand physical structure. Water column was divided into 5 layers (22$\~$65 m, 65$\~$115 m, l15$\~$65 m, 165$\~$215 m and 215$\~$315 m) to know vertical distribution of krill biomass. The standard length of krill collected was between 30 mm and 51 mm, and adult krill had single mode (41 mm). Maximum horizontal length of krill patch was about 35 nautical mile and vertical thickness was about 275 m. High density of krill was appeared in frontal area between Circumpolar Deep Water (>$1^{\circ}C$) and very low temperature water mass (< $-0.5^{\circ}C$) that originate from Weddell Sea. According to the results calculated using target strength equation, krill density was totally higher in continental slope and open water areas than in coastal area. In the study area, krill seems to distribute in depth; density was low at first layer ($\={\rho}=17.0\;g/m^2$) and higher at fourth layer ($\={\rho}=40.19\;g/m^2$). The estimated krill biomass at total survey area and water column was about 2.77 million metric ion ($\={\rho}=151.0\;g/m^2$) and coefficient of valiance ( CV, $\%$) was 19.92. The proportions and biomass of krill biomass at each layer were as follows; layer 1 ($11.3\%$, 0.31 million metric ton, CV=16.24), layer 2 ($13.3\%$, 0.37 million metric ton, CV=34.91), layer 3 ($23.7\%$, 0.66 million metric ton, CV=41.5), layer 4 ($26.6\%$, 0.74 million metric ton, CV=27.84) and layer 5 ($25\%$, 0.69 million metric ton, CV= 26.83).

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction converts syngas (mixture of CO and H2) to valuable hydrocarbon products. Simulation of low temperature Fischer -Tropsch Synthesis reaction and heat transfer at intensified process condition using catalyst filled single and multichannel microchannel reactor is considered. Single channel model simulation indicated potential for process intensification (higher GHSV of $30000hr^{-1}$ in presence of theoretical Cobalt based super-active catalyst) while still achieving CO conversion greater than ~65% and $C_{5+}$ selectivity greater than ~74%. Conjugate heat transfer simulation with multichannel reactor block models considering three different combinations of reactor configuration and coolant type predicted ${\Delta}T_{max}$ equal to 23 K for cross-flow configuration with wall boiling coolant, 15 K for co-current flow configuration with subcooled coolant, and 13 K for co-current flow configuration with wall boiling coolant. In the range of temperature maintained (498 - 521 K), chain growth probability calculated is desirable for low-temperature Fisher-Tropsch Synthesis.
