본 연구에서는 낙동강 임하댐 유역을 대상으로 엔트로피 이론(혼합분포 적용)과 관측소의 공간적 분포를 동시에 고려하여 강우관측망을 평가하였다. 일반적으로 혼합분포를 이용하는 강우관측망 평가는 연속분포를 이용하는 경우 비해 강우의 시공간적 간헐성을 고려할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 아울러 유역의 면적평균강우량을 산정시 강우관측소는 균등하게 설치된 경우가 가장 이상적이며, 이를 최근린 지수(Nearest neighbor index)를 이용하여 강우관측소 간에 공간적 분포를 등급화하였다. 최근린 지수는 임의의 점에 가장 가까운 인접 점들 간의 거리 특성을 이용하는 방법으로 점의 분포를 보다 지리적으로 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 엔트로피의 최대 정보전달량 및 강우관측소의 등급을 동시에 고려하기 위해 유클리디언 거리를 이용하여 2개의 목적함수를 통합하였으며, 이를 MOGA(Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm)를 이용하여 최적관측망을 선정하였다. 그 결과 MOGA를 이용하여 관측망을 평가한 경우 엔트로피 이론만을 적용했을 때보다 최적관측소가 보다 분산됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 제주도권역 강우관측소의 고도별 공간분포의 적정성을 평가하기 위한 방안으로 고도별 강우관측소의 최근린지수(Nearest Neighbor Index, NNI)를 산정하고 현재 강우관측소 공간분포의 적정성을 평가하였다. 또한, 제주도권역을 고도에 따라 등면적으로 구분하고, 고도마다 상이한 지형조건을 고려하기 위해 등면적으로 구분된 각 강우관측소의 최대 NNI를 최적화 기법의 하나인 화음탐색법(Harmony Search, HS)을 이용하여 산정하였다. 이와같이 현재 강우관측소설치위치를 기준으로 산정한 NNI와 HS를 이용하여 산정한 최대 NNI의 차이를 바탕으로 지형적인 특성을 고려한 제주도권역 강우관측소 분포를 비교·검토하였다. 그 결과 고도가 높아짐에 따라 강우관측소의 개수가 낮은 고도에 비해 상대적으로 적어 관측소 밀도가 작은 것으로 산정되었다. 향후 제주도권역 강우관측소의 지형적인 특성을 반영한다면 보다 효율적인 제주도권역 강우량관측이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Area average rainfall estimation is important to determine the exact amount of the available water resources and the essential input data for rainfall-runoff analysis. Like that, the necessary criterion for accurate area average rainfall estimate is the uniform spatial distribution of raingauge network. In this study, we suggest the spatial distribution evaluation methodology of raingauge network to estimate better area average rainfall and after the suggested method is applied to Han River and Geum River basin. The spatial distribution of rainfall network can be quantified by the nearest neighbor index. In order to evaluate the effects of the spatial distribution of rainfall network by each basin, area average rainfall was estimated by arithmetic mean method, the Thiessen's weighting method and estimation theory for 2013's rainfall event, and evaluated the involved errors by each cases. As a result, it can be found that the estimation error at the best basin of spatial distribution was lower than the worst basin of spatial distribution.

In this study, we estimate the NNI(Nearest Neighbor Index) which is considered altitude of rain gauge network as a method for evaluating appropriateness of spatial distribution and the current rain gauge network is evaluated. The altitude is divided by equal-area-ratio and optimal NNI within given basin condition is estimated using harmony search method for considering geographical conditions that vary from altitude to altitude. After calculating current state and optimal NNI for each altitude, the distribution of the rain gauge network is evaluated based on the difference between the two NNIs. As a result, it founds that the density of rain gauge networks is relatively thin as the altitude increases. Furthermore, it will be possible to construct an efficient rain gauge network if the characteristics of different altitudes are considered when a new rain gauge network is newly constructed.

Pycnogenol is used as a dietary supplement based on various medical research studies suggesting health benefits. In recent years, it has also been used in cosmetic products, but the clinical research on its dermatologic effects has been insufficient. This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of pycnogenol topically applied to skin of individuals with acne in their teens and twenties. Cosmetics containing 0.2% pycnogenol were applied to a group of 11 clinical subjects for 6 weeks and their skin conditions were assessed. The group that used cosmetics with pycnogenol showed decrease in P-Acnes, acne causing bacteria, phorphyrin index, a metabolite, and the pigmentation and redness index. This study confirms that pycnogenol extract is effective dermatologically in decreasing acne bacteria and reducing redness and pigmentation of skin affected by acne.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and spatial changes of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in mountainous areas with altitude more than 200 meters in South Korea. In order to analyze the spatial distribution patterns, spatial analysis was performed on 203 Automatic Mountain Meteorology Observation Station (AMOS) points from 2012 to 2016 by Euclidean distance analysis, nearest neighbor index analysis, and Kernel density analysis methods. As a result, change of the average distance between 2012 and 2016 decreased up to 16.4km. The nearest neighbor index was 0.666632 to 0.811237, and the result of Z-score test was -4.372239 to -5.145115(P<0.01). The spatial distributions of AMOSs through Kernel density analysis were analyzed to cover 129,719ha/a station in 2012 and 50,914ha/a station in 2016. The result of a comparison between 2012 and 2016 on the spatial distribution has decreased about 169,399ha per a station for the past 5 years. Therefore it needs to be considered the mountainous regions with low density when selecting the site of AMOS.

The in-situ California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test has been widely used for evaluating the subgrade condition in asphalt concrete pavements. However, because the in-situ CBR test is expensive and takes plenty of time for operation, it is very difficult to figure out the in-situ characteristics of subgrade strength in detail. For faster and economical operation, the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) has been often utilized for estimating the subgrade strength in the field. The relationship between the CBR value and DCP index obtained from the DCP testing has been studied using the laboratory and in-situ testing by other foreign researchers. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between in-situ CBR value and DCP index of the subgrade materials used in Korea. The DCP index for evaluating the strength of subgrade materials produced in Korea is presented in this paper. Research results propose the regression equation to explain the relationship between the CBR and DCP tests. The in-situ CBR values of subgrade materials range from 20 to 45% indicating the good and sound subgrade condition.

This study investigated the process quality level of a K5 gas mask, which recently acquired its operational capability, through statistical process analysis for the mass production stages and their lots. The tensile adhesion strength was the only operating requirement in the manufacturing process of the K5 gas mask. For this purpose, the results of tensile adhesion strength between the lens and facial rubber during the initial and second mass production stages were analyzed using conventional statistical and statistical process analysis methods. The conventional statistical results indicated that the second mass production stage was better than the initial mass production stage. In cases of a control chart and process capability of tensile adhesion strength, the process quality level was also improved by following the mass production stages. The improvement was caused by process stabilization and work skill elevation. These results and methods are expected to be conducted and utilized in the third mass production stage. Moreover, quality improvement of K5 gas mask mass production can be achieved using the Lean 6 sigma procedure, MDAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).
