The objective of this study is the quantitative analysis of climate change effects by performing several statistical analyses with hydrometeorological data sets for past 30 years in Geum river watershed. Temperature, precipitation, relative humidity data sets were collected from eight observation stations for 37 years(1973~2009) in Geum river watershed. River level data was collected from Gongju and Gyuam gauge stations for 36 years(1973~2008) considering rating curve credibility problems and future long-term runoff modeling. Annual and seasonal year-to-year variation of hydrometeorological components were analyzed by calculating the average, standard deviation, skewness, and coefficient of variation. The results show precipitation has the strongest variability. Run test, Turning point test, and Anderson Exact test were performed to check if there is randomness in the data sets. Temperature and precipitation data have randomness and relative humidity and river level data have regularity. Groundwater level data has both aspects(randomness and regularity). Linear regression and Mann-Kendal test were performed for trend test. Temperature is increasing yearly and seasonally and precipitation is increasing in summer. Relative humidity is obviously decreasing. The results of this study can be used for the evaluation of the effects of climate change on water resources and the establishment of future water resources management technique development plan.

This study generated regression models through a direct harvesting method to estimate carbon storage and uptake by Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis, the major evergreen tree species in urban landscape, and established essential information to quantify carbon reduction by urban trees. Open-grown landscape tree individuals for each species were sampled reflecting various diameter sizes at a given interval. The study measured biomass for each part including the roots of sample trees to compute the total carbon storage per tree. Annual carbon uptake per tree was quantified by analyzing radial growth rates of stem samples at breast height. The study then derived a regression model easily applicable in estimating carbon storage and uptake per tree for the two species by using diameter at breast height (DBH) as an independent variable. All the regression models showed high fitness with $r^2$ values of higher than 0.98. While carbon storage and uptake by young trees tended to be greater for P. densiflora than for P. koraiensis in the same diameter sizes, those by mature trees with DBH sizes of larger than 20 cm showed results to the contrary due to a difference in growth rates. A tree of P. densiflora and P. koraiensis with DBH of 25 cm stored 115.6 kg and 130.0 kg of carbon, respectively, and annually sequestered 9.4 kg and 14.6 kg. The study has broken new grounds to overcome limitations of the past studies which quantified carbon reduction of the study species by substituting, due to a difficulty in direct cutting and root digging of landscape trees, coefficients from forest trees such as biomass expansion factors, ratios of below ground/above ground biomass, and diameter growth rates.

Migration image can be distorted due to reflected waves in the source and receiver wavefields when discontinuities of input velocity model exist in seismic imaging. To remove reflected waves coming from layer interfaces, it is a common practice to smooth the velocity model for migration. If the velocity model is smoothed, however, the subsurface image can be distorted because the velocity changes around interfaces. In this paper, we attempt to minimize the distortion by reducing reflection energy in the source and receiver wavefields through acoustic impedance homogenization. To make acoustic impedance constant, we define fake density model and use it for migration. When the acoustic impedance is constant over all layers, the reflection coefficient at normal incidence becomes zero and the minimized reflection energy results in the improvement of migration result. To verify our algorithm, we implement the reverse-time migration using cell-based finite-difference method. Through numerical examples, we can note that the migration image is improved at the layer interfaces with high velocity contrast, and it shows the marked improvement particularly in the shallow part.

Tomographic approaches to image underground structure using electrical properties, can be divided into DC resistivity, electromagnetic, and radar tomography, based on the operating frequency. DC resistivity and radar tomography methods have been recently applied to site investigation for engineering purpose in Korea. This paper review these two tomography methods, through the case histories acquired in Korea. As another method of borehole radar survey, borehole radar reflection method is included, and its inherent problem and solution are discussed, how to find the azimuth angle of reflector using direction-finding-antenna. Since the velocity anisotropy of radar wave has been commonly encountered in field data, anisotropic radar tomography is discussed in this paper. In DC resistivity tomography, two subjects are focussed, electrode arrays, and borehole effect owing to the conductive fluid in borehole. Using the numerical modeling data, various kinds of electrode ways are compared, and borehole effect is illustrated. Most of the case histories presented in this paper are compared with known geology, core logging data, and/or Televiewer images.

동굴은 미지의 세계이고, 암흑의 신비로운 지하세계이기 때문에 우리 인간에게는 매우 흥미로운 공간이라고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 이러한 공간을 관광자원으로 활용하여 지역주민이 소득을 올리고, 청소년에게 탐험의 세계, 모험의 세계는 물론 자연학습의 현장으로 활용할 수 있게 하는 바람직한 경우도 있다. 그러나 이러한 경우 동굴이 개발되면 전자와 같은 긍정적인 면이 있는 반면에 동굴의 파괴, 오손 및 오염과 같은 악영향을 가져오게 되므로 동굴을 개발할 당시부터 악영향을 최소하기 위해서는 환경보전과 환경보호에 커다란 관심을 가져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이제 동굴 개장이 2개월밖에 되지 않은 천곡동굴이 관광지로 개방됨으로써 나타나게 될 환경변화를 미리 살펴보고 그에 대한 대책을 마련하려고 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 천곡동굴의 경우 동굴 공간이 넓고 관광통로가 왕복통로로 되어 있어 체동인구가 2배가 되므로 많은 관광객의 출입시 동굴 내부의 기온이 상승하기 때문에 동시에 관람할 수 있는 적정 관람객 수를 조절해야 한다. 둘째, 천곡동굴은 개장 시일이 오래 경과하지 않았기 때문에 퇴적물의 파손이 전무하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 이 상태를 계속 유지하기 위해서 동굴 내부에 관리인을 상주시킨다거나, 입동객의 소지품을 보관할 수 있는 장소를 마련하여 동굴퇴적물을 훼손할 수 있는 물건의 반입을 애초에 방지하는 방안도 필요하다고 본다. 마지막으로, 동굴 개발 당시 조명을 너무 가깝게 설치한 때문에 개방 후 얼마 되지 않았음에도 불구하고 몇 군데에서 녹색균류가 관측되고 있으므로 조명시설의 원거리 조정이나 간접조명 대책을 강구해야 한다.만 아니라 오류의 크기도 확률적으로 변하는 상황을 모형에 반영하여 보다 현실성있게 모형화하였다.균 6.5점(2-9점)으로 대체로 높게 나타났는데 이는 대중매체와 신문, 잡지류를 통한 지식의 정보가 많기 때문으로 생각된다 비만 정도에 따라서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 5. 비만 정도와 상호간의 관계를 보면 BMI 수치가 높을수록 비만인 형제수가 많았으며, 자신의 비만 자각도도 높았다. 편식율은 비만 정도가 낮을수록 높았으며, 식품섭취 빈도 점수는 비만군에서 높았으나, 저녁식사 후 간식섭취는 BMI가 높은 군에서 하지 않는 비율이 더 높았는데 이것은 감수성이 예민한 여학생들이 자신의 외모에 대한 의식적인 노력으로 보인다. 이상과 같은 결과를 종합해 볼 때 중학교 여학생들은 학교수업을 중심으로 비교적 규칙적인 생활을 하고 따로 운동을 할 시간이 많지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 비만과 관련하여서는 유전적인 요인도 중요하지만 식습관 개선과 식품이 적절한 선택 등을 강조하여 연령과 생활환경에 맞는 영양교육이 필요하다고 본다.알 수 있으며, 현미 30% 첨가한 B2가 그 다음 순위로 선호되어, 백설기 제조에서 율무와 현미의 첨가량은 10%가 권장된다.농촌 지역 여고생보다 많이 섭취하였고, 탄수화물은 농촌지역 여고생이 대도시 지역 여고생에 비하여 유의적으로 많이 섭취하였다. 지역별 여고생의 에너지섭취 비율은 탄수화물 : 단백질 : 지방의 섭취 비율이 대도시 60.75% : 16.4% 22.9%이며, 중소도시가 62.7% : 15.7% : 21.5%,농촌이66.8% : 14. l% : 19.1%이었다. 영양지식의 정확도나 인지도는 영양소 섭취와 유의적인

In the present study, the liquefaction potential in the area of the Incheon international airport was assessed by applying the data of both standard penetration tests and laboratory tests to the modified Seed & Idriss method. The analysis was performed against the non-plastic silty soil layer and silty sand soil layer existing within the depth of 20m and under the ground water level, having the standard penetration value(N) of below 20. Also, each set of data was mapped using the GIS(Geographic Information System) and the safety factor against the liquefaction potential ($FS_{liquefaction}$) was obtained by overlapping those layers. Throughout the analysis, it was found that there exists a potential hazard zone for the liquefaction, showing partially that the safety factor against the liquefaction potential is 1.0 to 1.5 below the standard safety factor criterion. It is further thought to be necessary that the liquefaction potential for the corresponding hazard zone be additionally assessed in detail.

The purpose of this study is to investigate conservation and management methods of the Joseon Royal Tombs under the Eastern District Management Office. Through the literature survey, we understood the process of change of Joseon royal tombs, and through field surveys and interviews, we understood the status of the interior and the surrounding area. In this process, topography, land use and flow of human traffic, architecture and stone objects, water system, historical forests, and facilities were set as the main evaluation indicators. Urbanization has damaged the original terrains of Royal Tombs as national roads, buildings and facilities have constructed in the inner and outer area of Joseon Royal Tombs. Construction of underground passage, land purchase, relocation and demolition of the buildings are required for the conservation of the Royal Tombs area, and then it is necessary to recover the original terrain. In the case of land use and pathways, there are many disconnection of the original ritual circulation, they should be maintained to remind the sacred atmosphere of the royal tomb. And It is necessary to collect accurate information on the lost buildings and stoneworks through literature survey and excavation investigation, and that investigations should be lead to the exposure or restoration of the ruins. Historical forests require periodic and ongoing monitoring and management, and it is necessary to establish new entrance area and appropriate facilities following the long-Term conservation and management plan. These plans should be classified into short, medium and long-Term projects according to urgency and securing financial resources with a long perspective to implement continuous and systematic projects.

A Multi-distinction Equipment Screening Algorithm (MESA) is proposed. It selectively integrates Dow's F&EI as its process hazard index technique and ESA (Equipment Screening Algorithm) as qualitative hazard classification technique, and retrieves a detailed list of hazardous equipments with the total hazard indices of those equipments. The inherent expert system, which includes the accident scenarios of the equipments and processes and experts' views of them, narrows further down the list of hazardous equipments and recommends only the most notable candidates. Through the case study of distinguishing the hazardous ranking of the equipments of the LPG underground storage process, using the expert system or not, the applicability of MESA has been validated. Taking the characteristics of the process equipments with hazardous ranking in the point of process intrinsic safety, this proposed algorithm would contribute to providing engineers or managers with information on constructing safely devices and mitigation devices and on scheduling emergency response planning.

An integrated geophysical survey was conducted to study a construction method of the Sonsanri tombs including the Muryong royal tomb. With the distribution of soil resistivity and self potential values, the boundary between original ground and the construction site was delineated clearly. The original ground has relatively high resistivity of $1,000\~1,500$ ohm-m and low self-potential values of $0{\pm}3mV/m$, while the construction site has low resistivity less than 200 ohm-m and quite high self-potential values of $-20\~30mV/m$. It is interpreted that the open site for construction of subsurface tomb has the size of about 35 m in the north-south direction. Big difference in characteristics of ground between the tomb site and the original site gives a clue for the construction method of tombs in Baekje dynasty. The site was opened about 35 meters in the north-south direction and then a mold structure was constructed with a brick frame outside. The brick frame consists of bricks cemented each other and structually combined. The mold structure was removed from inside after refill of the opened construction site with some cemented rock debris and soil.

In this study, filter conditions by difference in grading between core material and filter material used for dam construction was applied as evaluation condition for surrounding ground conditions near excavation site in a bid to identify the risk of land subsidence resulting from the erosion of soil particles. To that end, filter conditions proposed for the test was evaluated and the risk of land subsidence depending on grain size conditions was also evaluated using the filter conditions developed by COE. Consequently, evaluation diagram that can be used to determine the risk of land subsidence using grain size conditions obtained from ground investigation data was developed, which is expected to help evaluate the possibility of land subsidence depending on changes to the stratum. To simulate the particle flow process, PFC3D program was used. It's not only intended to determine the land subsidence pattern caused by falling ground water level but also predict and evaluate the land subsidence caused by soil erosion using grain size condition which can be verified by numerical analysis approach.
