A computer-controlled automatic vibratory tillage test equipment which attained minimum draft and power was developed. Three control program modes were developed and tested with this equipment. A computer simulation investigated the control performances of the above modes with the following primary results. 1) All of the three control modes converged to the same steady state when the velocity ratio was kept constant. 2) The control mode in which the blade frequency was twice of the soil shearing frequency (frequency control mode) showed optimum control with minimum draft and power, and also had greatest velocity convergence. 3) Results of the simulations showed the frequency control mode to have achieved the best control performance. The fluctuation of the draft reduction was less than 10% at various cutting depths and soil moistures.

급격한 도시화와 기후변화로 인해 기존 물순환 체계가 왜곡됨에 따라 저영향개발(Low Impact Development) 기법의 필요성이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. LID 요소 중 하나인 옥상녹화는 국내에 도입이 많이 되었고 적정 설계인자를 설정하기 위해 지속적으로 연구를 수행하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 옥상녹화 설계인자의 설정과 수문·식생·토양을 고려한 시나리오 구축을 통해 국내 물순환 모형인 K-LIDM을 이용하여 옥상녹화의 정량적 물순환 효율성 분석을 수행하였다. 대상유역은 한국 그린인프라 저영향개발센터 내 옥상녹화 실험장으로 옥상녹화에서 계측하고 있는 측정값을 기반으로 K-LIDM 모형 검보정을 수행하고 옥상녹화의 설계인자에 따른 시나리오를 통해 수문학적 성능평가를 수행하였다. 단기강우 시나리오를 적용하였을 때 옥상녹화는 일반콘트리트 옥상에 비해 5.25 ~ 36.48%의 유출저감률이 산정되었으며, 유출저감 한계효율은 지속시간 60분, 120분, 180분 일 때 각각 8.93%, 6.17%, 5.25%로 산정되었다. 장기강우 시나리오를 적용하였을 때는 연평균 53.54%의 유출저감률이 산정되었다. 또한 토심의 증가에 따른 유출량 감소는 관목>교목>지피 식물 순으로 나타났으며, 토심이 1cm 증가할 때의 저감유출랴은 지피 식물의 경우 0.0002㎥/s, 교목의 경우 0.0005㎥/s, 관목의 경우 0.0008㎥/s로 나타났다. 옥상녹화는 건물 설계에 따른 적재하중과 환경조건, 식물선정, 생육에 많은 영향을 받는 기술요소이므로 다양한 시나리오를 통한 수문학적 성능평가가 필요시 된다. 본 연구결과는 정량적 옥상녹화시스템 효율성 검증을 실시하기 위한 옥상녹화 설계가이드라인에서 고려사항을 제시할 수 있는 기준이 될 것이라고 기대된다.

Crop estimation is essential for the multinational meal and powerful demand due to its numerous aspects like soil, rain, climate, atmosphere, and their relations. The consequence of climate shift impacts the farming yield products. We operate the dataset with temperature, rainfall, humidity, etc. The current research focuses on feature selection with multifarious classifiers to assist farmers and agriculturalists. The crop yield estimation utilizing the feature selection approach is 96% accuracy. Feature selection affects a machine learning model's performance. Additionally, the performance of the current graph classifier accepts 81.5%. Eventually, the random forest regressor without feature selections owns 78% accuracy and the decision tree regressor without feature selections retains 67% accuracy. Our research merit is to reveal the experimental results of with and without feature selection significance for the proposed ten algorithms. These findings support learners and students in choosing the appropriate models for crop classification studies.

It has become a big matter of concerns that the skill and measures against reduction of energy and cost for heating a protected horticultural greenhouse were prepared. But in these days necessity of cooling a protected horticultural greenhouse is on the rise from partial high value added farm products. In this study, therefore, a horizontal type geothermal heat pump system with 10 RT scale to heat and cool a protected horticultural greenhouse and be considered to be cheaper than a vertical type geothermal heat pump system was installed in greenhouse with area of $240\;m^2$. And cooling performances of this system were analysed. As condenser outlet temperature of heat transfer medium fluid rose from $40^{\circ}C$ to $58^{\circ}C$, power consumption of the heat pump was an upturn from 11.5 kW to 15 kW and high pressure rose from 1,617 kPa to 2,450 kPa. Cooling COP had the trend that the higher the ground temperature at 1.75 m went, the lower the COP went. The COP was 2.7 at ground temperature at 1.75 m depth of $25.5^{\circ}C$ and 2.0 at the temperature of $33.5^{\circ}C$ and the heat extraction rate from the greenhouse were 28.8 kW, 26.5 kW respectively at the same ground temperature range. 8 hours after the heat pump was operated, the temperature of ground at 60 cm and 150 cm depth buried a geothermal heat exchanger rose $14.3^{\circ}C$, $15.3^{\circ}C$ respectively, but the temperature of ground at the same depth not buried rose $2.4^{\circ}C$, $4.3^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature of heat transfer medium fluid fell $7.5^{\circ}C$ after the fluid passed through geothermal heat exchanger and the fluid rejected average 46 kW to the 1.5 m depth ground. It analyzed the geothermal heat exchanger rejected average 36.8 W/m of the geothermal heat exchanger. Fan coil units in the greenhouse extracted average 28.2 kW from the greenhouse air and the temperature of heat transfer medium fluid rose $4.2^{\circ}C$after the fluid passing through fan coil units. It was analyzed the accumulation energy of thermal storage thank was 321 MJ in 3 hours and the rejection energy of the tank was 313 MJ in 4 hours.

직립식 마늘파종기는 마늘 종구를 한 알씩 집어 올려 중간이송컵으로 이송하는 자세교정컵과 배종부와 자세교정컵에서 낙하된 마늘종구를 땅속으로 파종하는 구조로 설계 제작되었으며,전라북도 익산시에 테스트베드를 구축하여 기계파종을 통한 파종기의 성능개선연구를 수행하였다. 기계파종은 1차년도 기존 파종기의 성능을 개선한 7조식 시제품과, 국내산과 스페인산 마늘을 파종하였으며, 11조용 참여기업의 기존 파종기를 이용하여 테스트베드에서 수행하였다. 비가 온 뒤의 땅에 파종한 라인의 샘플링 자료조사 결과(5m 구간 기준으로 체크) 결주율이 각각 17.81%, 35.6%로 평균적인 결주율이 0.57%인 일반 기상상태와 비교하면 매우 높은 결주율을 보이는 것을 알 수 있다. 마늘 파종법에 대한 결과로, 총 4가지의 파종법을 사용하였으며, 사용한 파종방법에는 2조 병목식 스페인식 파종법, 11조식 트랙터용 파종법, 7조식 트랙터용 파종법, 6조식 이양기용 파종법이다. 이 4가지 파종법 중에서 3가지 파종법에 대한 성장률에 대해서 조사를 해보았다. 11조식의 경우에는 제주도식 파종을 하여 비닐 멀칭이 되어있지 않으며, 7조식의 경우에는 비닐 멀칭이 되어있는 파종방식을 사용하였고, 2조식 병목식 스페인식 파종법의 경우에는 자유낙하 방식으로 비닐 멀칭의 유무에 따라 성장률에 대해서 조사를 하였다. 결주율은 파종된 마늘 중 샘플링한 데이터에 대해서 얼마나 파종이 잘되었는지에 퍼센트로 나타낸 것으로 11조식의 경우 비닐멀칭도 없고 비온 뒤에 파종 되어 파종시기에 문제가 있는 것으로 사료됨. 비가오지 않은 날씨에서 측정한 7조식 1차년도 성능개선 시작품의 결주율은 0.57%로 우수하게 나타났다. 발아율은 파종된 마늘 중 샘플링한 데이터에 대해서 다립파종 되어서 미성장된 것과 결주율을 합하여 퍼센트로 나타낸 것으로 시제품으로 개발한 7조식 파종기는 스페인산과 국내산 마늘의 발아율이 모두 90% 이상으로 나타났으며, 차이점은 파종시기의 차이에 따라 발아율의 차이가 있는 것으로 사료(토양, 재배환경 및 기후에 따른 변동요인이 많음)되며, 이는 파종법의 종류뿐만 아니라 비닐멀칭의 온도유지가 마늘 성장률에 얼마나 영향을 끼치는지에 대한 병행연구도 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 마늘의 성장률에 대해서는 아직 표준화, 정형화 되어있는 측정방법이 없기 때문에 이를 표준화, 정형화를 할 필요가 있다. 향후 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 직립식 마늘파종기의 성능을 더욱 개선시키는 연구를 지속적으로 수행할 계획이다.

A lunar rover's optical camera is used to provide navigation and terrain information in an exploration zone. However, due to the scant presence of atmosphere, the Moon has homogeneous terrain with dark soil. Also, in extreme environments, the rover has limited data storage with low computation capability. Thus, for successful exploration, it is required to examine feature detection and matching methods which are robust to lunar terrain and environmental characteristics. In this research, SIFT, SURF, BRISK, ORB, and AKAZE are comparatively analyzed with lunar terrain images from a lunar rover. Experimental results show that SIFT and AKAZE are most robust for lunar terrain characteristics. AKAZE detects less quantity of feature points than SIFT, but feature points are detected and matched with high precision and the least computational cost. AKAZE is adequate for fast and accurate navigation information. Although SIFT has the highest computational cost, the largest quantity of feature points are stably detected and matched. The rover periodically sends terrain images to Earth. Thus, SIFT is suitable for global 3D terrain map construction in that a large amount of terrain images can be processed on Earth. Study results are expected to provide a guideline to utilize feature detection and matching methods for future lunar exploration rovers.

Major space agencies are planning for the rover-based lunar exploration since water-ice was detected in permanently shadowed regions (PSR). Although sunlight does not directly reach the PSRs, it is expected that reflected sunlight sustains a certain level of low-light environment. In this research, the indoor testbed was made to simulate the PSR's lighting and topological conditions, to which low light enhancement methods (CLAHE, Dehaze, RetinexNet, GLADNet) were applied to restore image brightness and color as well as to investigate their influences on the performance of feature extraction and matching methods (SIFT, SURF, ORB, AKAZE). The experiment results show that GLADNet and Dehaze images in order significantly improve image brightness and color. However, the performance of the feature extraction and matching methods were improved by Dehaze and GLADNet images in order, especially for ORB and AKAZE. Thus, in the lunar exploration, Dehaze is appropriate for building 3D topographic map whereas GLADNet is adequate for geological investigation.

최근 기후변화로 인해 낙뢰의 발생빈도가 크게 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 피뢰시스템의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 피뢰시스템의 원활한 기능을 수행하기 위해 접지시스템의 성능이 보장되어야 하며, 접지전극은 뇌격전류를 안전하게 대지로 방류시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 피뢰시스템에서 가장 흔하게 사용되는 수직접지전극을 대상으로 서지전류가 인가되었을 때 접지전극이 묻힌 대지저항률, 접지전극의 길이, 서지 전류의 파두시간 등에 따른 규약접지임피던스를 측정하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 대지저항률이 높은 토양과 접지전극의 길이가 짧은 경우 접지임피던스가 감소하는 용량성 특성이 지배적으로 나타나며, 대지저항률이 작고 접지전극의 길이가 긴 경우 접지임피던스가 증가하는 유도성 특성이 지배적으로 나타났다. 따라서 피뢰시스템을 위한 접지시스템 설계 시 대지저항률 및 접지전극의 길이를 고려하여 유도성 특성을 최소화 할 수 있도록 설계해야 한다.

Recently, ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been introduced in many modem buildings which use the annually stable characteristic of underground temperature as one of the renewable energy uses. However, all of GSHP systems cannot achieve high level of energy efficiency and energy-saving, because their performance significantly depends on thermal properties of soil, the condition of groundwater, building loads, etc. In this research, the effect of thermal properties of soil on the performance of GSHP systems has been estimated by a numerical simulation which is coupled with ground heat and water transfer model, ground heat exchanger model and surface heat balance model. The thermal conductivity of soil, the type of soil and the velocity of groundwater flow were used as the calculation parameter in the simulation. A numerical model with a ground heat exchanger was used in the calculation and, their effect on the system performance was estimated through the sensitivity analysis with the developed simulation tool. In the result of simulation, it founds that the faster groundwater flow and the higher heat conductivity the ground has, the more heat exchange rate the system in the site can achieve.

The equation to predict the soil temprature of Pusan and Chinju city as a function of time and soil depth for the geothermal energy utilization system and agriculture was devised. The equation was $T(x,t)\;=\;Tm\;-\;To{\cdot}ExP(-{\xi}){\cdot}cos{{\omega}{\cdot}[t-to-x/(2{\cdot}{\alpha}{\cdot}{\omega})^{0.5}]}$ with the soil thermal diffusivity, ${\alpha},\;of\;0.4\;\textrm{m}^2/day,\;0.0375\;\textrm{m}^2/day$ and phase zero point, to, of 24 days, 22.4 days in Pusan and Chinju city, respectively, during ten years from 1987 to 1996. The predicted and measured soil temperatures agreed well with the coefficient of determination of 0.95 at the soil depth of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 m. The maximum and minimum temperature in Pusan 3.7, $30.1^{\circ}C$ at soil surface and 14.3, $18.0^{\circ}C$ at the depth of 5.0 m. The total mean temperature of soil in Pusan and Chinju city was about 16.3, $16.0^{\circ}C$, respectively.
