In this study, we analyzed the beam time series of ocean reverberation which was conducted in the eastsouthern region of East Sea, Korea during the August, 2015. The reverberation data was gathered by moving research vessel towing LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) source and triplet receiver array. After signal processing, we analyzed the variation of ocean reverberation level according to the seafloor bathymetry, source/receiver depth and sound speed profile. In addition, we used the normalized data by using cell averaging algorithm and identified the statistical characteristics of seafloor scatterer by using moment estimation method and estimated shape parameter. Also, we analyzed the coincidence of data with Rayleigh and K-distribution probability by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results show that there is range dependency of reverberation according to the bathymetry and also that the time delay and the intensity level change depend on the depths of source and receiver. In addition, we observed that statistical characteristics of similar Rayleigh probability distribution in the ocean reverberation.

In this paper, we present a method for estimating full 3D shapes from given 2D silhouette images of human bodies. Because the silhouette only consists of the partial information on the true shape, it is an ill-posed problem. To address the problem, we use the statistical human shape space obtained from the existing large 3D human shape database. The method consists of three steps. First, we extract the boundary pixels and their appropriate normal vectors from the input silhouette images. Then, we initialize the correspondences of each pixel to the vertex of the statistically-deformable 3D human model. Finally, we numerically optimize the parameters of the statistical model to fit best to the given silhouettes. The viability and the robustness of the method is demonstrated with various experiments.

The demand for probiotic products has been steadily increasing, and Lactobacillus strains are widely used and are currently the most popular probiotics. Optimizing culture conditions for Lactobacillus production for use as probiotics will enhance their profitability by reducing production costs and time. Statistical analysis using response surface methodology revealed the following optimal sets of independent variables: 22.55 h (cultivation time), 25℃ (cultivation temperature), and 3.41% (w/w, prebiotics concentration) for Lactobacillus acidophilus; 24 h, 30.86℃, and 2% (w/w) for Lactiplantibacillus plantarum; 66.67 h, 35℃, and 3.41% (w/w) for Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus. Actual outcomes using predicted optimal conditions for Lactobacillus strains have been confirmed to closely match predicted results. This study will provide valuable guidelines for high yield Lactobacillus production.

This study is concerned with an analytic derivation of the probability density function applicable for wave heights in finite water depth using two different methods. As the first method of the study, a probability density function is developed by applying a series of polynomials which is orthogonal with respect to Rayleigh probability density function. The newly derived probability density function is compared with the histogram constructed from wave data obtained in finite water depth which indicate strong non-Gaussian characteristics. Although the probability density represents the histogram very well. it has negative density at large values. Although the magnitude of the negative density is small. it negates the use of the distribution function fer estimating extreme values. As the second method of the study, a probability density function of wave height is developed by applying the maximum entropy method. The probability density function thusly derived agrees very well with the wave height distribution in shallow water, and appears to be useful in estimating extreme values and statistical properties of wave heights in finite water depth. However, a functional relationship between the probability distribution and the non-Gaussian characteristics of the data cannot be obtained by applying the maximum entropy method.

The corona noise level at the place 10m and the frequency 1MHz from the new 345KV transmission line is 72dB in the maximum rain-fall and 63dB due to the wet conductors. The synthesized corona noise level of all 3 phases dominantly depends on the phase which has maximum corona level among them. The measured characteristic of the variation with distance from the line coincided well with the theoretically calculated value in this paper. The corona noise level was the highest level in rainy weather or snow-fall. It takes a few hours, for the corona noise to be stable after a rain-fall or snow-fall. The measured value of the corona noise level corresponds quite well with the formula for the corona noise level revision. It was necessary to quantize S/N ratio into radio reception quality for the radio interference due to the transmission line. Some regulations for radio reception quality were defined through long term experiments and ratings by ITU, IEEE comittee, NHK in Japan and others. Fixing our own regulation about radio reception quality should be required.

In this study we shall compare the differences among Korean tourists' behavioral patterns according to tourists' residences by using statistical techniques on questionnaires for 1,372 tourists around Korea. In conclusion, we found varying degrees of influences among touristic behaviors in relation to residences, We documented 11 out of 14 categories of touristic behaviors in urban/rural areas around Korea. And there were 4 out of 14 categories of those found in provincial areas. Characteristics of urban/rural areas had a significant influence on touristic behaviors compared to provincial areas. Therefore, tour authorities provide for a balanced policy of travel around Korea. As mentioned above, these touristic behaviors had many differences according to urban/rural areas and provinces. We are concerned that these differences are likely to cause psychological disturbances among social classes. I hope that these results will be reflected in the development policies of tourist goods and tour sites.

Cyanobacterial toxins, such as microcystins, which exist in Korean lakes, are strongly toxic in fish, cattle, and humans. This study performs a quantitative analysis of cyanobacterial toxins in water by comparing the strip method and the HPLC method. Because the detection ranges of the strip method and the HPLC method are different, the water samples were diluted. The comparison of the strip method and the HPLC method was made using seven samples that contained different concentrations of microcystin. The quantitative results produced by the strip analysis were significantly aligned with the results of the HPLC analysis. The results of correlation analysis were r = 0.99998 and p = 0.00001.

In an attempt to elucidate combustion mechanism or premixed spray flame in detail, both the enlarged photographing, which was performed for spray cross-sectional images of premixed spray flame, and the cross-correlation PIV, which was performed for consecutive time-series images to obtain instantaneous two dimensional flow field, were applied. This study indicated that CW laser as well as pulse laser could be applied for PIV. Furthermore, the results of cross-correlation PIV, which was self-made PIV program, was shown in good agreement with those of PDA. Therefore, it was verified that cross-correlation PIV using CW laser in this study could be effectively used for observing structure of premixed spray flame.

본 논문에서는 Tree-ring width 지표자료, 태양흑점수, 남방진동지수(SOI) 및 지구온도 아노말리 자료와의 비교를 통하여 서울지점 측우기 강우량 자료의 정확도를 가늠해 보았다. 그리고 한반도 인근지역의 Tree-ring width 지표자료와의 비교를 통하여 과거 동북아시아 기후변화 상관성과 변화특성을 파악해 보았다. 분석 결과 측우기 강우량 자료는 다른 비교분석 대상 자료들과 경향성과 변화심도가 매우 잘 일치하고 있어 상당한 신뢰성을 가지고 있음이 확인되었다. 그리고 한반도 주변 6개 지점의 Tree-ring width 지표자료와의 비교분석결과, 장기적으로 동북아시아 기후는 시공간적으로 밀접한 상관을 가지고 변화하고 있으며 그 변화에는 장주기적인 재현성이 존재한다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 1960년 이후의 기후변화 특성은 통계적인 거동특성이나 변화폭이 과거의 재현사상의 한계를 넘지는 않으나 과거와는 다른 경향성과 불규칙성을 보여주고 있으며 재현주기도 짧아지고 있어 과거와는 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 과거자료에 근거한 본 연구의 결과는 동북아시아 기후변화 장기 예측에 있어 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
