본 연구의 목표는 돌발홍수 예 경보시스템(Flash Flood Warning System, FFWS)의 효용성 극대화를 위한 레이더 자료의 품질향상 기법을 개발하는 것이다. 지금까지 사용되어온 레이더 자료의 품질향상 기법들은 모두 자료의 평균값에 맞추어져 개발되었다. 그러나 돌발홍수 예 경보시스템에서 사용되는 강우강도 임계값은 평균값과 큰 차이가 난다. 따라서 레이더 자료를 이용하여 추정하는 큰 강우강도의 신뢰도는 떨어지게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 돌발홍수 예 경보시스템에 사용되는 목표 강우량에 대한 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수 추정 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 비슬산 레이더 반사도 자료와 비슬산 레이더 관측반경 내 위치한 AWS 지점의 강우자료를 이용하였다. 먼저, 강수입자분포(Drop Size Distribution, DSD)를 지수분포로 가정하여 유도한 레이더 강우추정 관계식을 재검토하였다. 다음으로 관측된 비슬산 레이더 반사도 자료를 10dBZ 단위로 구분하여 레이더 반사도 구간별로 레이더 반사도 자료와 강우자료 쌍에 대한 DSD 매개변수를 산정하였다. DSD 매개변수를 산정하기 위해 비슬산 레이더 반사도 자료와 AWS 지점의 강우자료를 지수분포로 가정하여 유도한 강우추정 관계식에 적용하였다. 다음으로 목표 강우량에 대한 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수 추정을 위해 레이더 반사도 구간별로 DSD 매개변수의 대푯값을 결정하였다. 마지막으로 지수분포로 가정하여 유도한 레이더 강우추정 관계식에 레이더 반사도 구간별 DSD 매개변수의 대푯값을 적용함으로써 목표 강우량에 대한 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수를 추정하였다.

본 연구에서는 캐나다 연료 수분지수의 정확도를 보정하여, 산불발생의 예측 효율성을 높이기 위해, 기존 입력 값인 상대습도와 실효습도(Effective humidity)를 이용한 결과를 상호 비교 분석하였다. 캐나다 연료수분지수인 미세연료수분지수, 가뭄지수, 부식층수분지수의 결과를 비교한 결과 이에 따라 실효습도를 사용한 캐나다 기상지수의 민감도가 상대습도를 사용하여 산출된 지수보다 민감도가 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 산불 발생 예측의 지표인 미세연료 수분 지수의 분석결과, 실효습도를 이용하여 산출된 미세연료 수분지수의 적중률이 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, 미세연료 수분지수의 적용보다 상대습도의 적용이 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper investigates the relationship between strain hardening exponents(n) of various marine materials and fatigue crack retardation effect after applying single overload. Using the four different sheet materials, following results are obtained. (1) The fatigue crack propagation rate after applying single overload was retarded and the effects of this retardation were closely related to the strain hardening exponent. (2) The larger the strain hardening exponents were, the more were the fatigue crack retardation effects after applying single overload. (3) The considerable crack closure with the applying of a overload was observed in matrals with large strain hardening exponent. When n is smaller than 0.1, the fatigue crack retardation effects are negligible. On the contrary, when n is larger than 0.2 the fatigue crack retardation effects are significant.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of plaque scoring system using new Qraycam (All in One Bio, Korea) device which enables plaque score without tooth disclosing. This study measured Quigley-Hein index and plaque control record by both Qraycam and disclosing agent on 64 elderly people and checked degree of congruence between the two methods. Reliability was evaluated with the mean of measured values, kappa index and intraclass correlation coefficient statistical analysis. The analysis of the plaque scores showed a high agreement between the measured values according to the method of measurement and the measured part. The mean of plaque index of anterior labial were not significantly different according to measurement method. The kappa index was higher by Qraycam and tooth disclosing method of plaque index. Therefore, it was verified that Qraycam has sufficient reliability as screening tool for plaque scoring system.

Exponentiation is widely used in practical applications related with cryptography, and as the discrete log is easily solved in case of a low exponent n, a large exponent n is needed for a more secure system. However. since the time complexity for exponentiation algorithm increases in proportion to the n figure, the development of an exponentiation algorithm that can quickly process the results is becoming a crucial problem. In this paper, we propose a parallel exponentiation algorithm which can reduce the number of rounds with a fixed number of processors, where the field elements are in GF($2^m$), and also analyzed the round bound of the proposed algorithm. The proposed method uses window method which divides the exponent in a particular bit length and make idle processors in window value computation phase to multiply some terms of windows where the values are already computed. By this way. the proposed method has improved round bound.

This study calculated vegetation indexes such as SR, NDVI, SAVI, and LAI to figure out correlations regarding vegetation by using high resolution KOMPSAT-2 images and LANDSAT images based on the forest biomass distribution map that utilized field survey data, satellite images and LiDAR data and then analyzed correlations between their values and forest biomass. The analysis results reveal that the vegetation indexes of high resolution KOMPSAT-2 images had higher correlations than those of LANDSAT images and that NDVI recorded high correlations among the vegetation indexes. In addition, the study analyzed the characteristics of hyperspectral images by using the COMIS of STSAT-3 and Hyperion images of a similar sensor, EO-1, and further the usability of biomass estimation in hyperspectral images by comparing vegetation index, which had relatively high correlations with biomass, with the vegetation indexes of LANDSAT with the same GSD conditions.

Spacing factor proposed by Power is a concept of averaging air void spacing composed of geometric models. Thus, there's a limitation on simulating actual air void characteristics in concrete. This study presents SDI(spacing distribution index) to overcome the limitation of spacing factor. SDI is also evaluated through comparing SDI with SF(spacing factor). In this study, it was confirmed that SF decreased due to increasing air-entrainer content but SDI increased. This occurs because SDI is the area of spacing distribution curve and SDI increases with increasing the frequency of spacing. SDI is evaluated to have better coverage below $300{\mu}m$ of SF so that determination of critical point of SDI above 80% of durability index can be easily obtained with more reliability. SDI is the area of spacing distribution curve and reflects actual air void characteristics in concrete. A comparative study of SDI and results of freeze-thaw test will be performed later.

Purpose : Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle brachial index (ABI) are simple, non-invasive methods to assess arterial stiffness. These parameters are also known to be closely related to cardiovascular risk factors and diseases. The purposes of this study were to measure blood pressure, PWV, ABI in healthy Korean adolescents, set up their normal values and assess their correlations. Methods : Three hundred ninety two healthy adolescents (213 boys and 179 girls) underwent measurement of brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), ABI, body mass index(BMI) and blood pressure from four extremities. Linear regression analysis was performed to reveal the correlations between PWV, ABI and independent variables. Results : Blood pressure and PWV were significantly higher in all extremities in males compared to females. Blood pressure of both brachial and ankle showed positive correlation with body weight, height, and BMI, whereas ABI showed no correlation with any of these indices. Conclusion : Blood pressure increases as body weight, height and BMI increases. PWV shows positive correlation with blood pressure. It will be helpful to predict the risks of cardiovascular diseases in adolescents.

We examine geoeffective directional parameters of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). We select 30 front-side halo CMEs from SOHO LASCO CMEs whose speed is larger than 1000km/s and longitude is less than ${\pm}30^{\circ}$. These are thought to be the most plausible candidate of geoeffective CMEs. We examine the relation between CMEs directional parameters (Earthward direction, eccentricity, ${\Delta}$ distance and central angle parameter) and the minimum value of the Dst index. We have found that the Earthward direction parameter has a good correlation with the Dst index, the eccentricity parameter has a much better correlation with the Dst index. The bo distance and central angle parameter has a poor correlation with the Dst index. It's, however, well correlated with the Dst index in very strong geomagnetic storms. Most of CMEs causing very strong storms (Dst ${\leq}$-200nT) are found to have large Earthward direction parameter $({\geq}0.6)$, small eccentricity, bo distance and central angle parameters $(E{\leq}0.4,\;{\Delta}X\;and\;sin\;{\theta}{\leq}0.2)$. These directional parameters are very important parameters that control the geoeffectiveness of very fast front-side halo CMEs.

Agrometeorological advisories for farms and orchards are issued when daily weather exceeds a predefined range of the local reference climate, which is a long-term average of daily weather for the location. The reference climate at local scales is prepared by various simplification methods, resulting in uncertainty in the agrometeorological advisories. We restored daily weather data for the 1981-2010 period and analyzed the differences in prediction results of weather risk by comparing with the temporal and spatial simplified normal climate values. For this purpose, we selected the agricultural drought index (ADI) among various disaster related indices because ADI requires many kinds of weather data to calculate it. Ten rural counties within the Seomjin River Basin were selected for this study. The normal value of 'temporal simplification' was calculated by using the daily average value for 30 years (1981-2010). The normal value of 'spatial simplification' is the zonal average of the temporally simplified normal values falling within a standard watershed. For residual moisture index, temporal simplification normal values were overestimated, whereas spatial simplification normal values were underestimated in comparison with non-simplified normal values. The ADI's calculated from January to July 2017 showed a significant deviation in terms of the extent of drought depending on the normal values used. Through this study, we confirmed that the result of weather risk calculation using normal climatic values from 'simplified' methods can affect reliability of the agrometeorological advisories.
