This study was carried out to investigate experimentally the effect of the tire inflation pressure of a tractor on soil compaction and tractive performance. Two kinds of field experiments were conducted using an agricultural tractor. One experiment is concerned with the tractive performance of the tractor at the three levels of tire inflation pressure; 50kpa, 100kpa and 200kpa, and the other one is about the soil compaction at the four levels of tire inflation pressure; 50kpa, 100kpa, 150kpa and 200kpa, at three different numbers of passes; 1, 3 and 5 passes. From the results of the field experiment, it was found that decreasing the tire inflation pressure decreased the motion resistance of tractor and increased the tractive force and tractive efficiency. The tractive and working performance of the tractor could be improved by the reduction of tire inflation pressure. Increasing the inflation pressure and the number of passes increased the soil compaction. Rate of compaction increased rapidly at the first pass and declined at subsequent passes. To reduce the effect of soil compaction for the whole field, it is recommended that tractor should follow the rut of the first pass from the subsequent passes, and decrease the inflation pressure of the driving tires up to allowable minimum level.

In this paper, electrical and physical characteristics associated with the ionization growth of soil under impulse voltages in a coaxial cylindrical electrode system to simulate a horizontally-buried ground electrode were experimentally investigated. The results were summarized as follows: Transient ground resistances decreased significantly by soil ionization. The voltage-current (V-I) curves for non-ionization in soil lined up in a straight line with the nearly same slope that is the ground resistance, but they showed a 'cross-closed loop' of ${\infty}$-shape under ionization. The conventional ground resistance and equivalent soil resistivity were inversely proportional to the peak value of injected impulse currents. On the other hand, the equivalent ionization radius and time-lag to the maximum value of ionization radius were increased with increasing the incident impulse voltages. An analysis method for the transient ground resistances of the ground electrode based on the ionization phenomena was proposed. The proposed method can be applied to analyze the transient performances of grounding systems for lightning protection in power system installations.

기존 홍수예보에 사용되는 일반적인 절차는 관측되는 강우를 이용하여 유역의 유출량을 계산하고 댐 저수량과 현 상황에서 발생할 수 있는 하천의 수위와 유량을 판단한 뒤 홍수예보 및 경보를 발령한다. 이러한 방법은 모형의 구동에 걸리는 시간으로 인한 의사결정 시간의 단축, 모형의 성능에 의존하는 홍수예측 결과 등의 단점이 존재하며, 관련 전문가가 상주하며 홍수 유무를 판단하고 상황을 전파해야하는 인적 재원이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 분포형 강우-유출모형 기반의 강우강도-지속시간-홍수량(IDQ) 곡선을 활용하여 미계측 유역 홍수예보에 활용하는 기법을 평가하였다. 계측된 유역의 자료를 이용하여 분포형 모형의 검보정을 실시하고 하천의 예경보 홍수량에 준하는 한계강우량을 산정하였다. 이때. 다양한 지속시간의 강우를 적용하였으며 토양함수상태에 따른 IDQ 곡선을 산정하여 발생 가능한 여러 시나리오에 대비할 수 있는 홍수예보 기법을 제시하였다. 주요 홍수예경보지점에 적절한 IDQ 곡선을 보유하게 된다면 비전문가도 신속한 홍수예경보 의사결정이 가능하여 각 지자체와 유관기관에서 손쉽게 활용할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

딥러닝 알고리즘 중 과거의 정보를 저장하는 문제(장기종속성 문제)가 있는 단순 RNN(Simple Recurrent Neural Network)의 단점을 해결한 LSTM(Long short-term memory)이 등장하면서 특정한 유역의 강우-유출 모형을 구축하는 연구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 하나의 모형으로 모든 유역에 대한 유출을 예측하는 지역화 강우-유출 모형은 서로 다른 유역의 식생, 지형 등의 차이에서 발생하는 수문학적 행동의 차이를 학습해야 하므로 모형 구축에 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내 12개의 유역에 대하여 LSTM 기반 분포형 지역화 강우-유출 모형을 구축한 이후 강우 이외의 보조 자료에 따른 정확도를 살펴보았다. 국내 12개 유역의 7년 (2012.01.01-2018.12.31) 동안의 49개 격자(4km²)에 대한 10분 간격 레이더 강우, MODIS 위성 이미지 영상을 활용한 식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), 10분 간격 기온, 유역 평균 경사, 단순 하천 경사를 입력자료로 활용하였으며 10분 간격 유량 자료를 출력 자료로 사용하여 LSTM 기반 분포형 지역화 강우-유출 모형을 구축하였다. 이후 구축된 모형의 성능을 검증하기 위해 학습에 사용되지 않은 3개의 유역에 대한 자료를 활용하여 Nash-Sutcliffe Model Efficiency Coefficient (NSE)를 확인하였다. 식생지수를 보조 자료를 활용하였을 경우 제안한 모형은 3개의 검증 유역에 대하여 하천 흐름을 높은 정확도로 예측하였으며 딥러닝 모형이 위성 자료를 통하여 식생에 의한 차단 및 토양 침투와 같은 동적 요소의 학습이 가능함을 나타낸다.

Drying Stream Assessment Tool and Water Flow Tracking (DrySAT-WFT)은 하천건천화 평가 및 예측을 위해 개발된 물수지 기반의 분포형 수문모형이다. 그러나 물수지 모형의 특성상 토양층 사이를 이동하는 수직적인 물의 거동은 파악하기 용이하나, 하천 및 지표를 따라 이동하는 물의 수평적인 거동 추적에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 DrySAT-WFT 모형에 댐·보 방류량을 고려한 하도 갈수량 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 유출 모의 성능을 개선하고, 개선된 유출 모형을 금강 유역(9,915.5 ㎢)에 적용하여 건천화 원인 추적 및 평가를 수행하였다. 하천건천화 원인 추적을 위한 영향요소로 1976년부터 2015년까지 구축한 산림높이, 도로망, 지하수 이용량, 토지이용, 토심, 기상 자료를 활용하였다. 건천화 영향요소를 적용하기 전 기상자료만을 활용해 모의한 유출결과를 기준 시나리오로 설정하고 댐·보 지점을 대상으로 검보정을 진행하였다. 이후 각 건천화 영향요소를 적용한 유출 시나리오별 유량의 감소 비율과 건천화 기여 비율을 산정하여 영향평가를 수행하였다.

WPS(Wearable Personal Station) for next generation PC can define as a core terminal of 'Ubiquitous Computing' that include information processing and network function and overcome spatial limitation in acquisition of new information. As a way to acquire significant dynamic gesture data of user from haptic devices, traditional gesture recognizer based on desktop-PC using wire communication module has several restrictions such as conditionality on space, complexity between transmission mediums(cable elements), limitation of motion and incommodiousness on use. Accordingly, in this paper, in order to overcome these problems, we implement hand gesture recognition system using fuzzy algorithm and neural network for Post PC(the embedded-ubiquitous environment using blue-tooth module and WPS). Also, we propose most efficient and reasonable hand gesture recognition interface for Post PC through evaluation and analysis of performance about each gesture recognition system. The proposed gesture recognition system consists of three modules: 1) gesture input module that processes motion of dynamic hand to input data 2) Relational Database Management System(hereafter, RDBMS) module to segment significant gestures from input data and 3) 2 each different recognition modulo: fuzzy max-min and neural network recognition module to recognize significant gesture of continuous / dynamic gestures. Experimental result shows the average recognition rate of 98.8% in fuzzy min-nin module and 96.7% in neural network recognition module about significantly dynamic gestures.

This study analyzed the characteristics of the soil and hydrological environment of abandoned paddy wetlands examined the changes in land cover type in the ecological affect area, analyzed the environmental factors of abandoned paddy wetlands, and examined the changes in land cover type in the ecological impact area. The ecological environment characteristics of the reference abandoned paddy wetlands were investigated through literature research, environmental spatial information service, and preliminary exploration of the abandoned paddy wetlands, and the basic data for the restoration of abandoned paddy wetlands ware provided by examining the changes in land cover type in the ecological impact area for 40 years. Through this study, it will be possible to manage the rapidly increasing number of abandoned farmland to be converted into wetlands so that it can perform functions equivalent to or greater than that of natural wetlands. In particular, as we checked the clues that abandoned paddy wetlands could spread to surrounding ecological influences through land cover changes, the study sites are highly likely to be reference wetlands, and if the topography, soil, water circulation system, and carbon reduction performance are analyzed carefully, it will be possible to standardize the development process. In addition, through the change in land cover, clues were confirmed that the abandoned paddy wetlands could spread to the surrounding ecological affect areas. The land cover type in the ecological impact area, forests was mainly distributed, but generally decreased rapidly in the last 10-20 years, and forests were changing from coniferous forests to broad-leaved forests, mixed forests, or grassland. It has not yet been fully called to the wetland, and it is found that it has maintained the form of barren or grassland, and as can be seen in the case of natural wetlands after more than 30 years after abandoned, it is expected that the transition will gradually proceed to wetlands that are structurally and functionally similar to natural wetlands.

This study focused on the physicochemical effects of bottom ash dissolved precipitation on the soil and groundwater environment. The iced column and percolation experiments showed that most of the bottom ash particles were drained as the ash-dissolved solution, while the charcoal powder was filtered through the soil. Ion species of Al, As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Fe, Mn, Ca, K, Si, F, NO₃, SO₄ were analyzed from the eluates collected during the 24 h column test. In the charcoal powder eluates, a high concentration of K was detected at the beginning of the reaction, but it decreased with time. The concentrations of Al and Ca were observed to increase with time, although they existed in trace amount. In the bottom ash eluates, the concentrations of Ca and SO₄ decreased by 30 mg·L^-1 and 67 mg·L^-1, respectively, over 24 h. It is regarded that the infiltration patterns of the bottom ash and biochar in the unsaturated zone were different owing to their particle sizes and solvent properties. It is expected that a significant amount of the bottom ash will mix with the precipitation and percolate below the water table, especially in the case of thin and highly permeable unsaturated zone. The biochar was filtered through the unsaturated zone. The biochar did not dissolve in the groundwater, although it reached the saturation zone. For these reasons, it is considered that the direct contamination by the bottom ash and biochar are unlikely to occur.

The APEX model has been developed for assessing agricultural management efforts and their effects on soil and water at the field scale as well as more complex multi-subarea landscapes, whole farms, and watersheds. Recently, a key component of APEX application, named APEX-Paddy, has been modified for simulating water quality by considering paddy rice management practices. In this study, the performance of the APEX-Paddy model was evaluated using field data at Iksan experimental paddy sites in Korea. The discharge and pollutant load data during 2013 and 2014 were used to both manually and automatically calibrate the model. The APEX auto-calibration tool (APEX-CUTE 4.1) was used for model calibration and sensitivity analysis. Results indicate that APEX-Paddy reasonably performs in predicting runoff discharge rate and nitrogen yield. However, sediment and phosphorus yield is not correctly predicted due to the limitation of model schemes. With APEX-Paddy, the performance in reproducing the discharge and nitrogen yield is found to be a satisfactory level after manual calibration. The manually calibrated model performed better than the automatically calibrated model in nearly all comparisons. For runoff, manual calibration reduced PBIAS while R² and NSE values of the automatically calibrated model were the same as the manual calibration. For T-N, NSE and PBIAS were reduced when using manual calibration, whereas R² value was the same as manual calibration. The limitation of the APEX-Paddy model for predicting sediment, as well as the phosphorous yield, was discussed in this study.

In this study, the improved performance of sprayed green soil was evaluated by incorporating functional additives. The optimal mixing ratio of the thickener and super-absorbent polymer, as an additive for moisture supply to the growth of plants within the range of mixing ratios that gives sufficient strength of green soil, was 5% and 1%, respectively. Using Portland cement as a main binder, the pH of the green soil was 9.1. To solve this alkali problem, the mixing proportion was improved so that the pH of the green soil was approximately 7.2 by mixing more than 10% of the chelate resin. The soil conductivity was measured to be 280 ~ 350mS/m under all the mixing conditions. This satisfied the criterion of less than 1000mS/m on the slope surface. As a result of measuring the soil hardness of the green soil prepared under the optimal mixing conditions of functional additives, it satisfied the criteria of 18 ~ 23mm when sprayed under a 1 bar pressure. The rebound rate was less than 15% when spraying green soil on a 75 % slope, and the hardness of the sprayed green soil was more than 18 mm.
