This study is to investigate the possibility of a quantitative analysis on sunshine right in apartment houses with a new evaluation index of shading area ratio(SAR) which represents seasonal average value of shaded portion of a window during definite period. SAR values of each apartment houses in a prototype building was calculated depending on apartment building arrangement types and orientations. Since the new method proposed in this research is able to measure the sunshine possibility of the each house in detail, which is more precise and descriptive than the existing method of sunshine judgment standard based on the sunshine hours only at winter solstice, it can be appropriately utilized as a highly qualified sunshine right judgment measures in apartment buildings.

To improve the performance of the top-positioning space in buildings, we suggested the environment-friendly system integrating various design techniques in the previous paper. This work discussed to calculate the length of PV considering a part of metallic radiators for radiative cooling, an critical element of the whole system, for shading not to prevent the PV on roof from generating electricity. In the process of calculating the shading area, we used the geometrical relationship between the sun-rays and the variable roof. For general applications, we utilized DL, the ratio of the length of PV and that of metallic radiator on roof, as a design factor, and then used the maximum insolation and the specific insolation($200W/m^2$) to decide the distance off the axis of rotation. As a result, for DL, we found out the reasonable value of 1.0 with full covering, 1.2 with 90%, and 2.0 with 70% in PV covering.

This study spatially assesses the impact of trees on residential rooftop solar energy potential using urban three-dimensional models derived from Light Detection and Ranging(LiDAR) data in San Francisco, California. In recent years on-site solar energy generation in cities has become an essential agenda in municipal climate action plans. However, it can be limited by neighboring environments such as shade from topography, buildings and trees. Of all these effects, the impact of trees on rooftop photovoltaics(PVs) requires careful attention because improper situation of solar panels without considering trees can result in inefficient solar energy generation, tree removal, and/or increasing building energy demand and urban heat island effect. Using ArcMap 9.3.1, we calculated the incoming annual solar radiation on individual rooftops in San Francisco and the reduced insolation affected by trees. Furthermore, we performed a multiple regression analysis to see what attributes of trees in a neighborhood(tree density, tree heights, and the variance of tree heights) affect rooftop insolation. The result shows that annual total residential rooftops insolation in San Francisco is 18,326,671 MWh and annual total light-loss reduction caused by trees is 326,406 MWh, which is about 1.78%. The annual insolation shows a wide range of values from $34.4kWh/m^2/year$ to $1,348.4kWh/m^2/year$. The result spatially maps the locations that show the various levels of impact from trees. The result from multiple regression shows that tree density, average tree heights and the variation of tree heights in a neighborhood have statistically significant effects on the rooftop solar potential. The results can be linked to municipal energy planning in order to manage potential conflicts as cities with low to medium population density begin implementing on-site solar energy generation. Rooftop solar energy generation makes the best contribution towards achieving sustainability when PVs are optimally located while pursuing the preservation of urban trees.

Background : Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a diffuse inflammatory and fibrosing process that occurs within the interstitium and alveolus of the lung with invariably poor prognosis. The major problem in management of IPF results from the variable rate of disease progression and the difficulties in predicting the response to therapy. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy of steroid and immunosuppressive therapy for IPF and to identify the pre-treatment determinants of favorable response. Method : Twenty patients of IPF were included. Diagnosis of IPF was proven by thoracoscopic lung biopsy and they were presumed to have active progressive disease. The baseline evaluation in these patients included clinical history, pulmonary function test, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and chest high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Fourteen patients received oral prednisolone treatment with initial dose of 1mg/kg/day for 8 to 12 weeks and then tapering to low-dose prednisolone (0.25mg/kg/day). Six patients who previously had experienced significant side effects to steroid received 2mg/kg/day of oral cyclophosphamide with or without low-dose prednisolone. Follow-up evaluation was performed after 6 months of therapy. If patients met more than one of followings, they were considered to be responders : (1) improvement of more than one grade in dyspnea index, (2) improvement in FVC or TLC more than 10% or improvement in DLco more than 20% (3) decreased extent of disease in chest HRCT findings. Result : One patient died of extrapulmonary cause after 3 month of therapy, and another patient gave up any further medical therapy due to side effect of steroid. Eventually medical records of 18 patients were analyzed. Nine of 18 patients were classified into responders and the other nine patients into nonresponders. The histopathologic diagnosis of the responders were all nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and that of nonresponders were all usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) (p<0.001). The other significant differences between the two groups were female predominance (p<0.01), smoking history (p<0.001), severe grade of dyspnea (p<0.05), lymphocytosis in BAL fluid ($23.8{\pm}16.3%$ vs $7.8{\pm}3.6%$, p<0.05), and less honeycombing in chest HRCT findings (0% vs $9.2{\pm}2.3%$, p<0.001). Conclusion : Our results suggest that patients with histopathologic diagnosis of NSIP or lymphocytosis in BAL fluid are more likely to respond to steroid or immunosuppressive therapy. Clinical results in large numbers of IPF patients will be required to identify the independent variables.

공동주택에서 태양광발전(PV)을 통한 세대 전기에너지 이용은 모듈 설치 면적의 제약으로 인해 전 세대를 대상으로 활용하기에 현실적으로 어려움이 있다. 특히 남향이나 남동, 남서향으로 위치한 거실 창호를 활용하는 경우에도 결정질 실리콘(crystalline silicon) 태양전지 셀로 인한 실내 음영문제 등으로 건물통합형 태양광발전(BIPV) 시스템의 가시성을 확보하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 이런 문제점을 극복하고자 투광형 비정질실리콘(amorphous silicon) 태양전지를 이용한 발코니창호/커튼월 BIPV 시스템을 구축하고, 테스트베드를 통한 적용성 평가 검증을 수행하였다. 테스트베드는 KCC 중앙연구소 1층 외부 측창에 결정질 BIPV 모듈(A2PEAK 사(社), 최대 출력 210 Wp, W 2,000 mm ${\times}$ H 1,066 mm)과 10% 및 30% 투광형 비정질 BIPV 모듈(Sharp 사(社) See Through type, 최대 출력 135 Wp/123 Wp, W 1,930 mm ${\times}$ H 1,180 mm)을 각각 설치(남서 $30^{\circ}$, 수직 $90^{\circ}$)하여, 2009년 5월에서 8월 사이 4개월에 걸친 모니터링을 통해 실제 발전량 데이터를 확보, 시스템에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 결정질형이 1.46 kWh/kWp, 10% 투광형은 1.10 kWh/kWp, 30% 투광형은 0.73 kWh/kWp을 나타내었다. 10% 투광형과 30% 투광형의 모듈 성능 차이는 크지 않으나 발전량에 있어서는 큰 차이를 보였고, 10% 투광형의 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 경정질형의 75.2% 수준으로 투광형 비정질실리콘 BIPV 시스템의 창호 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 특히 세대 거실 창호를 통한 가시성 확보는 기존 결정질 BIPV 창호의 단점을 개선하였다. 건자재 일체화로 구축된 가시성확보 BIPV시스템 창호는 단위 세대별 적용이 쉽고, 공동주택에서 PV 시스템의 설치면적을 극대화시키므로 향후 Zero Energy 공동주택 구축에도 활용성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

최근 이미지분석 기술은 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 기술의 급격한 발전으로 인해 의학, 생물학, 지리학, 재료공학 등에서 수많은 연구 분야에서 광범위하게 활용되고 있으며, 이미지분석은 다량의 토사에 대하여 입경을 포함한 형상학적 특성을 간편하게 정량화 할 수 있기 때문에 매우 효과적인 분석 방법으로 판단된다. 현재 모래의 입도분석 방법으로는 신뢰성 있는 체가름 시험법(KSF2302) 등이 있으나, 번거로운 처리과정과 많은 시간이 소요된다. 또한 입자형상은 입경이 세립 할수록 직접 측정이 어렵기 때문에, 최근에는 이미지 분석을 이용하는 방법이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 75㎛ 이상의 조립질 하상 토사 이미지를 취득하여, 입자들의 장·축단 길이, 면적, 둘레, 공칭직경 및 종횡비 등의 형상학적 특성인자를 자동으로 측정하는 프로그램 개발을 수행하였다. 프로그램은 이미지 분석에 특화된 라이브러리인 OpenCV(Open Source Computer Vision)를 적용하였다. 이미지 분석 절차는 크게 이미지 취득, 기하보정, 노이즈제거, 객체추출 및 형상인자 측정 단계로 구성되며, 이미지 취득시 패널의 하단에 Back light를 부착해 시료에 의해 발생되는 음영을 제거하였다. 기하보정은 원근변환(perspective transform)을 적용했으며, 노이즈 제거는 모폴로지 연산과 입자간의 중첩으로 인한 뭉침을 제거하기 위해 watershed 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 최종적으로 객체의 외곽선 추출하여 입자들의 다양한 정보(장축, 단축, 둘레, 면적, 공칭직경, 종횡비)를 산출하고, 분포형으로 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 이미지분석을 적용한 토사의 형상학적 특성 측정 방법은 시간과 비용의 측면에서 보다 효율적으로 하상 토사에 대한 다양한 정보를 획득 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The paper presents implementation & evaluation of survey method with tilted transducer of Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) to increase horizontal & vertical coverage over obstructed port environments with limited physical properties of MBES. Proposed method ($25^{\circ}$ titled transducer) have some discrepancy of bathymetric profiles between normal and tilting method, but we proved average difference is less than IHO Special Order requirements with survey data at port of Dong Ho Port, Masan, Korea. For horizontal mapping coverage of total survey area ($114,961m^2$), normal method covered 53%, $60,895m^2$ of total area but tilting method covered 75%, $5.933m^2$. It is 22% efficient than normal method with similar environments. For vertical mapping coverage of total vertical structure face ($7,421m^2$), normal method covered 14%, $1,046m^2$, proposed methods covered 60%, $4,450m^2$. And we adapt longitudal steel bar to validate MBES results, and provide calibration method with titled transducer of MBES.
