The purpose of this study is to understand information behavior of older adults with diabetes. After reviewing previous research, related factors are identified and a questionnaire was devised. The structured interview was administered to the aged 60 and over in the B hospital (N=543). Data about awareness of the disease, health literacy, information environment, information need, information seeking, information use, information service, and personal background are collected and analyzed descriptively. Relationship between variables are examined and hypotheses are tested to find factors affecting information behavior. The level of the awareness of the disease and health literacy appeared to be low. It is proved that awareness of the disease is a factor affecting information need and information use. Health literacy affects information use. There is a statistical significant difference between information need and information use by disease education and duration. There is also a statistical significant difference between information use among groups divided by information environment, sex, age, and education. Based on the results, campaign to raise disease awareness, marketing promotion about information support facilities, customized information service for older adults are suggested.

In this study, we have developed a forecasting model for city- gas acceptance. City-gas corporations have to report about city-gas sale volume next year to KOGAS. So it is a important thing to them. Factors influenced city-gas have differences corresponding to usage classification, however, in city-gas acceptence, it is hard to classificate. So we have considered tha outside temperature as factor that influence regardless of usage classification and the model development was carried out. ARIMA, one of the traditional time series analysis, and LSTM, a deep running technique, were used to construct forecasting models, and various Ensemble techniques were used to minimize the disadvantages of these two methods.Experiments and validation were conducted using data from JB Corp. from 2008 to 2018 for 11 years.The average of the error rate of the daily forecast was 0.48% for Ensemble LSTM, the average of the error rate of the monthly forecast was 2.46% for Ensemble LSTM, And the absolute value of the error rate is 5.24% for Ensemble LSTM.

최근 인구증가 및 도시개발 등으로 인해 지표면이 갖고 있었던 보수 및 유수기능 등이 현격하게 줄어들면서 이에 따른 홍수 유출량이 증대되고 첨두유량이 증가 되고 있다. 이러한 문제는 지표유출량의 변화에 따른 침투량에 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 이를 예측 및 분석하기 위한 다양한 모형들이 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 모형 중 L-THIA 모형은 토지이용도, 토양도, 일강우 자료만으로 직접유출을 모의가 가능하고 높은 정확성을 보이기 때문에 전 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 L-THIA 모형은 하나의 토지이용도만을 이용하여 직접유출량을 모의하고 검보정이 이루어지기 때문에 시간적, 공간적으로 변화하는 토지이용의 변화를 고려하지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토지이용도의 변화가 L-THIA 모형의 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 L-THIA 모형의 두 가지 검보정 시나리오를 각각 작성하였다. 시나리오1은 기존에 이루어지는 검보정 방법으로 경안천 유역의 일별 강우자료와 1995년 토지이용도만을 이용하여 1997년 1월1일부터 1999년 12월 31일까지 보정을 실시하고, 이에 따른 매개변수를 적용하여 2001년 1월 1일부터 2003년 12월 31일까지 검정을 수행하였다. 시나리오2는 시나리오 1과는 다르게 보정기간(2005~2010년)에는 2000년 토지이용도를 적용하고, 검정기간(2001~2003년)에는 2000년 토지이용도를 적용하여 각각 검보정을 수행하였다. 또한 시나리오 1과 시나리오 2에서 실측자료와 모의결과를 비교 분석한 $R^2$ 및 NSE 수치를 비교한 결과 토지이용도 변화를 보다 실제적으로 반영한 시나리오2에서 더 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 따라서 L-THIA 모형은 토지이용 별 CN 기반 직접유출량을 산정하기 때문에 본 연구결과에서 나타난 바와 같이 시간 변화에 따른 토지이용 변화를 같이 고려해야 보다 더 신뢰성 높은 모형의 결과를 산출할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Adhesive tapes can be conveniently used for various applications by combination of materials requiring diverse mechanical strength and specific adhesives. Duct tape is usually readily available and one of the most widely used adhesive tapes. Duct tapes are composite materials with good mechanical strength consisted of fiber material, which is different from other tapes. In addition, electrical insulation tapes are used for very long period of time for insulating cables, and are also used for reinforcement of mechanical strength and increasing damping of cable in practice. Recently, variety of foam tapes and double-sided tapes are widely used in diverse applications. However, there is no previous work readily available clearly illustrating noise isolation performance of tapes. In present work, noise isolation performance of tapes is presented by measurement of insertion loss of variety of tapes on a small hole. Double-side foam tapes presented the best noise isolation performance among adhesive tapes measured in present work.

Soil pollution indices (SPI) were designed for estimating quality of soil polluted with arsenic and heavy metals. Applying the quality reference value of soil based on its multifunctional purpose was a key step. For considereing multifunctions of soil, soil was classified into 4 groups-agricultural land, residential area, recreational area, factorial site. Then, each concentration of arsenic and each of five heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) in soils grouped was transformed to a mathematical value based on the soil quality reference value which may stand for ecological impact. Soil pollution score (SPS) was the addition of the 6 values transformed, and the range of the SPS was divided into 4 Soil Pollution Classes (SPC). The SPC 1, 2, 3, and 4 were SPS <100, SPS 100-200, SPS >200-300, and SPS >300, repectively. SPS and SPC were evaluated with the results of the data from employing the Soil Network of 1994. Based on the soil quality reference values, SPS and SPC of the Soil Network's data were transformed and classified, respectively. Then, SPS and SPC were compared with arsenic and the 5 heavy metal contents of their reference values resulted from the Soil Network's. From this method, soil quality of most of the Soil Network area was estimated to be healthy. However, ca. 3.0~4.0% of the Soil Network area was determined in a range of slightly and heavily polluted. As the mean value of SPS of the Soil Network's was 66.2 which indicates most of soil evaluated was healthy. When the SPSs of the data were divided into 4 groups of SPC, Class 1 (Good quality of soil), Class 2 (Need to be checked area 1), Class 3 (Need to be checked area 2) and Class 4 (Polluted area) were 87.0, 9.4, 2.4, 1.2%, respectively. Using SPI were comparable to those of heavy metal contents in soils, and would be comprehenve to determine the status of soil qulity. Methodology of the developing SPI would be applicable to the other soil pollutants such as organic and inorganics than arsenic and 5 heavy metals used here.

RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards) is an institutional device to promote use of renewable energy through market mechanism by making renewable energy to constitute a pre-announced portion of the electricity production. We measure economic impacts of the introduction of RPS to domestic electricity market at the levels of electricity market, individual industrial sectors and the economy as a whole. First, we examine the TREC(Tradable Renewable Energy Credits) market, where the credits in excess of the obligation of the renewable energy production are sold to those who have to meet the obligation through purchased credits. We then measure end-users' additional cost originating from the introduction of RPS and TREC in electricity production, and their impacts on price and supply in the retail electricity market. Next, using input-output analysis, we measure economic impacts of the changes in retail price and supply on individual industrial sectors and the economy as a whole. Among many others, we find small price effect and large GDP effect - sectoral electricity price rises at around 5%, sectoral price level rises by 0.258%, and sectoral GDP declines by 1.940% on average by the year 2011.

Dosimeters are manufactured from same process in the manufacturer but the deviation of TL raw counts exists among the dosimeters. TL raw counts are also gradually degrade due to multiple readings and physical abuse. ECF (Element Correction Factor) correct the degradation and deviation of TL raw counts to the average TL raw counts of reference dosimeters. Procedures for producing ECF of thermoluminescent dosimeters were described In detail. ECFs of 319 reference, control and field dosimeters were measured three times and average of three ECF values was calculated. Also, % CV(Coefficient of Variation) of three ECF values was calculated to verify ECF. ECF & % CV distributions for the field and control dosimeters are presented. TL raw counts of field dosimeters, being used about 6 times for the past 3 years, were almost unchanged, but those of control dosimeters being used more frequently, were degraded about 4.7 %.

Non-refining fly ash and bottom ash, the byproducts generated from the coal-fired power stations, have usually been disposed of in onshore ash disposal sites. With an increase of power consumption due to industrial development, the generation of coal ash has been growing tremendously. Current insufficiency of disposal sites and environmental concerns over newly-built disposal sites have also led a growing need to utilize the coal ash. Accordingly, this paper compares and analyzes the fundamental properties of the coal ash collected from each disposal sites in order to increase the usability of the coal ash generated from coal-fired power stations. The results of the study indicate that coal ash shall be separately applied by the properties for each intended use as the ash greatly differs in its properties depending on the site of disposal. In particular, it is shown that the overall evaluation on the ash shall be necessary as the quality might be varied by the change of absorptance when applied as an aggregate for concrete. From the examination on the salt content, it has been observed that the ash can be applied as an aggregate for concrete only after more than 3 times of washing process.

우리나라에서 2014년부터 2016년까지 중부지방을 중심으로 지속된 강우부족은 용수공급에 피해를 발생시키는 주요 원인이 되었다. 2014년부터 2016년까지 보령 기상관측소의 연강수량은 각각 1,010.6 m, 782.5 mm, 792.8 mm였으며 이는 보령 기상관측소 연강수량의 평년값인 1,244.3 mm의 81.2 %, 62.9 %, 63.7 %에 해당하는 양이었다. 이러한 강우부족으로 인하여 충청남도 서북부권에 용수공급을 담당하고 있는 보령댐의 저수율이 20 % 미만으로 감소하는 문제가 발생하였다(2015년 11월 6일 기준). 국토교통부는 보령댐의 저수율 감소가 지속될 경우 보령댐 용수공급 지역에 피해가 발생할 것으로 판단하였고 이러한 피해를 저감시키는 방안으로 금강 백제보 하류의 물을 보령댐 상류로 공급하기 위한 긴급용수공급 시설인 보령댐 도수로를 설치하였다. 보령댐 도수로 운영 시 지형 및 수질 문제를 해결하기 위하여 가압시설, 정수시설과 같은 부대시설이 함께 설치되었다. 이로 인해 도수로 운영 시 부대시설의 운영비용이 소요되므로 보령댐 도수로는 운영일수를 최소화하고 보령댐의 용수공급은 최대화하는 도수로의 운영방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 보령댐 도수로의 효율적인 운영방안을 모색하기 위하여 다양한 보령댐 도수로 운영방안을 설정하고 각 운영방안 따른 저수지 모의운영을 실시하여 보령댐 도수로의 운영효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 도수로의 운영방안은 보령댐 유역의 유역평균강수량을 활용하여 산정한 SPI, 보령댐 실측유입량을 활용하여 산정한 월 평균유입량, 용수공급 조정기준의 단계별 저수량 등을 활용하여 설정하였다. 또한 저수지 모의운영 결과를 평가하기 위한 지표로 용도별 용수공급 신뢰도와 용수공급 조정기준의 각 단계별 도달일수, 도수로 운영일수, 무효방류량 등을 산정하고 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다.
