Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a technique to deliver a high dose to a target region and a low dose to a critical organ through only one or a few irradiation. The SRS must be planned exactly. Currently the surgery plan is peformed by trial and error method. There are many questions about the reliability and reproducibility of the plan result. This study Improve each step of the Oh's method based on heuristic target shaping to obtain the better result. The target was reconstructed using cylinders with same height and the neighbored cylinders were combined according to the difference of each center and diameter. Then, spheres were packed within each cylinders by the packing rules. Two virtual targets were used to compare this method with Oh's method. As a result, the numbers of isocenter were successfully reduced - more than $35\%$ and $26\%$ - without serious differences of proscription isodose to tumour volume ratio (PITV) and maximum dose to proscription dose ratio (MDPD). This technique using cylinder piling and sphere packing will be a helpful tool to planner in stereotactic radiosurgery.

In order to establish a rainfall-runoff model, calibration of hydrological parameters for the model is very important. Especially, Curve Number(CN), estimated by NRCS method, is a main factor to apply unit hydrograph theory to calculation of peak discharge. For using NRCS method, it is needed selecting AMC because CN is strongly connected with that. In this study, we focus our concern on finding a applicable standard for selecting AMC for CN. For this, three dams which are Boryeong, Habchon, Namgang are selected as target basins to use observed data including rainfall and dam inflow. As a result of this research, it is found that CN must be included as a calibrated parameter to calculate effective rainfall for the rainfall-runoff model. Also, it is preferred to use PWRMSE of HEC-HMS program as a objective function for optimizing hydrological parameters. From the analyzing result of variation of AMC for peak discharge, it is recommended to apply AMC-III to estimation of CN for calculating effective rainfall of design hydrograph.

우리나라의 과거 기상자료 분석결과를 보면 최근 10년(1999~2008년)과 과거 30년(1971~2000년)의 자료를 비교하였을 때 연 평균 강수량과 기온이 각각 9.1%, 0.6$^{\circ}C$ 상승하였고 2010년 전 지구 기온은 $14.52^{\circ}C$로 20세기 평균인 $13.90^{\circ}C$보다 $0.62^{\circ}C$ 높아 기온 관측이 시작된 1880년 이래 최고를 기록하였으며(2005년과 공동 1위), 2010년 북반구 기온편차는 $0.73^{\circ}C$로 역대 기온 관측 사상 가장 높았고 남반구 또한 $0.61^{\circ}C$로 상위 6위에 위치되었다. 또한 우리나라에서는 겨울철 이상 저온 현상을 경험하기도 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라 전역 기상청 60개 지점 1980년 1월 1일부터 2009년 12월 31 일까지의 자료를 바탕으로 기록 일 최저 기온 및 기록 일 최고 기온의 발생빈도를 분석하고자 하였다. 확률이론에 따르면 동일한 분포를 갖는 확률변수의 독립적인 시계열의 경우 최대값 또는 최소값의 발생빈도는 ��/n의 비율로 감소하게 된다. 여기서 /n은 관측이 시작된 시점부터 해당 시점까지 자료의 수이다. 본 연구의 경우에는 특정 지점의 특정 시점에 관측된 일 최대 기온이 동일한 분포를 갖는 독립적인 시계열을 이룬다고 한다면(즉, 증가 또는 감소 추세가 있지 않다면), 어떤 해에 관측된 일 최고 기온이 그 동안에 특정 시점에 관측된 일 최고 기온들보다 높을 확률은 1/n이 될 것이다. 그러나 만약 일 최대(또는 최저) 기온의 기록경신 발생빈도가 감소 비율로부터 유의하게 이탈하게 된다면, 이는 일 최고(또는 최저) 기온의 분산이 커지거나 작아지는 현상이 벌어진 경우이거나 일 최고(또는 최저) 기온의 평균이 어떤 추세를 갖게 되는 경우가 될 것이다. 그 결과 기록 일 최저 기온 발생빈도에 대한 기록 일 최고 기온 발생빈도의 비는 현재 약 2.5정도의 값이 나오는 것으로 분석되었으며 이러한 결과는 1980년 이후로 기록 일 최고 기온의 발생빈도는 /n의 비율로 감소하지만 기록 일 최저 기온의 발생빈도는 /n의 비율보다 낮게 발생하기 때문인 것으로 파악되었다. 이러한 과거 자료의 분석을 통하여 지금까지 진행되어 오고 있는 기후변화의 패턴을 보다 명확하게 인식하고자 하였으며, 추후 다양한 기후수치실험으로부터 도출된 결과들의 신뢰성을 평가할 때 기초적인 비교 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper we issue some problems occurring when a mobile host moves from a base station to another in a wireless multicasting and propose a solution. In the case of not being in the same multicast group, the old base station will pre-forward data to neighboring base stations to avoid transmission delay. However, if other mobile hosts move at short interval, the old base station may retransmit the same dta to the same neighboring base stations. Also, the old base station should retransmit data if the new base station has already discarded data even if the new base station is a member of the multicast group. In this paper we propose called Information Exchange Scheme (IES). In this scheme, each base station exchanges indirectly the data delivery information with the rest of the base stations in the same multicast group for efficient and reliable multicast and pre-forwards data not retransmitting the same data for minimizing transmission delay when a mobile host moves. We also present how IES is efficient by analyzing and simulating.

An artificial rainfall system is used widely as a research tool for generating model experiment data. Artificial rainfall devices have been used in many studies, but studies of the rainfall distribution are not considered as important issues. To simulate various rainfall characteristics, it should be possible to simulate from low to high intensity, and the homogeneity of the rainfall distribution should be ensured. In this study, the maximum rainfall intensity was set to 130mm/hr and controlled by 10mm/hr. In addition, the aim was to secure a uniform coefficient value of 80% or more. To this end, rainfall tests were performed according to the nozzle type, diameter, position, and pump pressure. The rainfall test showed that the circular nozzle was suitable, and the nozzle size was 1.9mm and 1.4mm. The optimal pump pressure was found to be 3~6kg/㎠. The rainfall intensity tended to increase linearly with increasing pump pressure. Based on the rainfall test results, a rainfall control manual was produced with variables, such as pump pressure, nozzle type, and number of nozzles. As a result of rainfall verification, rainfall intensity showed a 3.1% error with a uniformity coefficient of 86%.

The national base map has its value sand roles as the basic spatial information of the nation. The current national base map that is a 1/5,000 digital map, however, has failed to perform its roles as basic spatial information due to the limitations with its quality and accuracy and requires measures to complement them. Thus this study set out to suggest ways to advance the current 1/5,000 national base map, selected topography and natural features of a digital map that could be made with GSD 0.25m digital aerial photographs, and set up the optimal ways to make a digital map by conducting an experiment of making an optimal digital map with such photographs. It also analyzed the map made with GSD 0.25m digital aerial photographs for accuracy and usability. In order to establish a set of criteria of making a digital map with GSD 0.25m digital aerial photographs, the investigator carried out analyses and picked topography and natural features items, which include 9 large categories, 31 medium categories, and 509 small categories. Then an experiment of making a digital map was conducted according to the digital map making method. As a result, solid drawing was selected as the optimal way to making a digital map, and the optimal process was established. Using the research achievements, a model digital map was made with GSD 0.25mm digital aerial photographs. The map recorded about two times horizontal and vertical location accuracy than the old 1/5,000 digital map and was capable of detailed descriptions of topography and natural features. A new national base map made with GSD 0.25m digital aerial photographs will provide reliable spatial data, thus increasing the level of satisfaction among people and the level of advancement of national base maps.

This study selected car-related mobile apps for app developers suffering from low revenue and classified car apps assisting users in driving or managing a car. A total of 697 car apps were classified into eight categories. Most apps are in four categories: car news & information (28%), locating service (23%), car rental service (15%), safe/efficient driving service (12%). The remaining categories are buying & selling, driver's communication, maintenance management, and expenses monitoring. Many apps are simple and too similar in their main functions. Only a few apps are designed to be more comprehensive and have functions in two or more categories. For the practicality of the categorization scheme, this study checked the inter-rater reliability in two tests and got 0.886 and 0.828. The result from this study suggests functions that are not implemented yet or need to be combined. Future research will focus on identifying promising car apps or designing multi-functional car apps.

For quantitative analysis of spatio-temporal distribution pattern on marine environment, spatial autocorrelation statistics on the both global and local aspects was applied to the observed data obtained from Gwangyang Bay in South Sea of Korea. Global indexes such as Moran's I and General G were used for understanding environmental distribution pattern in the whole study area. LISAs (local indicators of spatial association) such as Moran's I ($I_i$) and $G_i{^*}$ were considered to find similarity between a target feature and its neighborhood features and to detect hot spot and/or cold spot. Additionally, the significance test on clustered patterns by Z-scores was carried out. Statistical results showed variations of spatial patterns quantitatively in the whole year. Then all of general water quality, nutrients, chlorophyll-a and phytoplankton had strong clustered pattern in summer. When global indexes showed strong clustered pattern, the front region with a negative $I_i$ which means a strong spatial variation was observed. Also, when global indexes showed random pattern, hot spot and/or cold spot were/was found in the small local region with a local index $G_i{^*}$. Therefore, global indexes were useful for observing the strength and time series variations of clustered patterns in the whole study area, and local indexes were useful for tracing the location of hot spot and/or cold spot. Quantification of both spatial distribution pattern and clustering characteristics may play an important role to understand marine environment in depth and to find the reasons for spatial pattern.

Course correction munition are a weapson system for precision attacks and are assembled by applying a ballistic control system to existing projectiles. The roll control system is a subsystem of the ballistic control system and is placed between the guidance and control units inside of the projectile, which undergoes a 5000g lateral acceleration. Thus, it is very important to design the system to endure this load. Many developed countries evaluate the performance and safety of course correction munitions' parts using live-fire gun launch tests or a soft recovery system. However, these methods are expensive and slow. Thus, in this study, we develop impact analysis model of the roll control system using CAE. We apply the code to simulate impact phenomenon and use Johnson-Cook material model for modeling the high strain rate effect on the materials. We also design bearings in detail to analyze their behavior and verify the reliability of CAE model through gas-gun impact tests of the roll control system.
