Utilities have tried to ensure that radiological hazards to the environment and residents are kept as low as reasonably achievable by monitoring and controlling planned releases. However, since groundwater contamination was reported to occur due to unplanned releases mostly in the United States nuclear power plants, the interest of the stakeholders has increased to a point where it is now one of the most important issues in the United States nuclear power industry. This paper aims to help to implement an effective on-site groundwater monitoring program at domestic nuclear power plants by briefing the experiences of the United States nuclear power plants on groundwater contaminations and groundwater monitoring, and responses of the United States nuclear industry and regulator body for them.

Sustainability is a broad concept involving economic, social and environmental issues in operational and managerial processes. To assist ports to implant sustainability practices into their operations, this paper conceptualizes the structure of sustainability practice in port operations, based on interviews undertaken at Busan port in early 2013. Results revealed that, as a strategic practice to improve their internal business processes, sustainability practices necessitate the simultaneous pursuit of container traffic growth, low environmental impacts and corporate responsible image making, operational efficiency, efficiency of the use of the port area and sustainable growth. Through thematic analysis, the relevant practices were clustered into four sub-dimensions incorporating environmental technologies, continual monitoring and upgrading, internal process improvement, and cooperation and communication. Further, reporting the relevant issues such as barriers and challenges in carrying out sustainability practices, the findings provide useful insights for strategic agenda to assist ports to incorporate sustainability practices in their operations.

As the logistic environment of digital contents is rapidly changing, the protection of the digital rights for digital content has been recognized as one of critical Issues. Digital Right Management(DRM) has taken much interest Internet Service Provider(ISP), authors and publishers of digital content as an interested approach to create a trusted environment for access and use of digital resources. This paper propose an interested digital rights protection scheme using license agent to address problems facing contemporary DRM approached : static digital rights management, and limited application to on-line environment. We introduce a dynamic mission control technology to realize dynamic digital rights management. And we incorporate license agent to on- and off-line monitoring and tracking. The proposed system prevent illegal access and use by using PKI security method, real time action monitoring for user, data security for itself.

In this study, we perform land surface monitoring of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) variation by using remote sensing data during 1999-2005 over North Korea, which can't easily access to measure directly land surface characteristics due to one of the world's most closed societies. North Korea forest region has most abundant forest vegetation - so called Lungs of Korea in the Korea peninsula. NDVI represents vegetation activity used in many similar studies. In this study, we detect vegetation variation and analysis factors of the change over North Korea. By using variation of NDVI, we can infer that effect of drought over North Korea, and reduced vegetation indices by typhoon in North Korea. Land surface type except barren ground with decreased NDVI value is considered as when North Korea region was suffering from drought and typhoon effects, which show lower than mean of 7-year NDVI value. Especially, in recently, the food production of North Korea with political and economical issues can be inferred indirectly these trends by using estimated output data from this study.

The study on the structure of personal information flows is very important because government can measure and respond the risks caused by companies which collect personal information from other personal data users to operate their business. Recently, as the value of personal information is increasing, number of companies which intend to process a large scale of personal information is increasing too. Accordingly, the issue on the structure of personal data flow has become important for the leading personal information processors which receive far more personal information from others to comply the personal information protection laws. However, research on this issue has rarely performed so far. Therefore, this study proposes a framework for personal information data flow structure based on network theory. Theoretically, the results of the study may contribute to extending the application areas of the network theory to personal information area. Practically, the study may contribute to assisting regulatory authorities to find and monitor personal information processors.

Since February 2017, site managers in small architectural projects are required by the revised building act. In order to address issues for site managers and to improve project efficiency, system improving methods are surveyed and proposed in this study. The key inspection items in the existing surveillance guidance manual were investigated, and the checklist for site managers for a small to medium sized construction site was analyzed. This study also tries to propose using web-based site management systems for improvement of the utilization of checklists. It is expected that these on-site management systems, along with BIM technology, will be able to monitor the small size building construction project in real time and effectively monitor the various problems occurring on-site.

Using variable speed limits (VSL) is a key strategy for preventing traffic accidents and alleviating traffic congestion. This study proposes an algorithm to operate VSLs on freeways for traffic safety. The proposed algorithm consists of two components based on accident likelihood estimation and analysis of safe stopping distance under various environmental conditions. A binary logistic regression technique is used for estimating accident likelihood. It is expected that the proposed algorithm would be successfully applied in practice in support of an integrated traffic and environmental condition monitoring system. Technical issues associated with the field implementation are also discussed.

Recently, automatic video monitoring of individual pigs is emerging as an important issue in the management of group-housed pigs. Although a rich variety of studies have been reported on video monitoring techniques in intensive pig farming, it still requires further elaboration. In particular, when there exist adjoining pigs in a crowd pig room, it is necessary to have a way of separating adjoining pigs from the perspective of an image processing technique. In this paper, we propose an efficient image segmentation solution using both spatio-temporal information and region growing method for the identification of individual pigs in video surveillance systems. The experimental results with the videos obtained from a pig farm located in Sejong illustrated the efficiency of the proposed method.

최근 지속적인 심한 가뭄의 발생은 사회적 이슈가 되고 있으므로 가뭄을 감시할 수 있는 가뭄 모니터링 뿐만 아니라 경감할 수 있는 가뭄전망이 되어야 한다. 이를 위해 우선적으로 우리나라 실정에 맞는 최적화된 가뭄지수의 선정 혹은 개선이 필요하며, 다음으로 개선된 가뭄지수를 기반으로 한 다양한 가뭄정보들이 수자원확보를 위한 관리와 정책에 활용되어야 한다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 국내 기존에 활용되고 있는 수문학적 가뭄지수인 MSWSI를 개선하였으며, 개선된 MSWSI를 이용하여 앙상블기법 기반의 확률론적 가뭄전망을 수행하였다. 대상 유역은 낙동강 유역을 선정하였으며, 연구내용을 살펴보면, 첫 번째로 MSWSI의 개선에 있어서는 (1) 유역 내 공식적으로 수집되는 모든 수문기상인자를 조사하여 중권역 유역별로 기존 MSWSI에서 적용한 4개 인자(강수량, 하천유량, 댐 유입량, 지하수량) 뿐만 아니라 사용 가능한 적합한 인자(댐 저수위, 댐 방류량)를 추가 선정하여 반영; (2) 각 수문인자들에 대해 기존에는 정규분포만 적용하였으나 본 연구에서는 각각 인자별 적합한 확률분포를 추정하였다. 두 번째로 극심한 가뭄이 발생한 2006년과 2014년을 대상으로 개선된 MSWSI를 이용한 앙상블기반 확률론적 가뭄전망을 수행하고 검증하였다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 개선된 MSWSI를 과거 실측 수문기상자료를 이용하여 검증한 결과 기존 MSWSI보다 개선된 MSWSI가 과거 발생한 가뭄현상을 더 잘 나타내어 개선된 MSWSI가 효용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 앙상블 기반의 확률론적 가뭄 전망 결과, 기존보다 개선된 MSWSI를 이용한 가뭄전망이 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 또한 대부분의 유역에서 실제 가뭄의 가뭄지수가 개선된 MSWSI를 이용한 가뭄전망 범위에 속하는 것으로 나타났다.

At the manufacturing site, workers have been operating by inputting materials into the manufacturing process and leaving input records according to the work instructions, but product LOT tracking has been not possible due to many omissions. Recently, it is being carried out as a system to automatically input materials using RFID-Tag. In particular, the initial automatic recognition rate was good at 97 percent by automatically generating input information through RACK (TAG) ID and RACK input time analysis, but the automatic recognition rate continues to decrease due to multi-material RACK, TAG loss, and new product input issues. It is expected that it will contribute to increasing speed and yield (normal product ratio) in the overall production process by improving automatic recognition rate and real-time monitoring through the establishment of artificial intelligent smart factory datasets.
