In geoscience and engineering the geological characteristics of sediment strata is crucial and possible if reliable borehole logging and seismic data are available. To investigate the characteristics of the shallow strata in the Korea Strait, laboratory sonic logs were obtained from deep borehole data and seismic section. In this study, we integrated and analyzed the sonic log data obtained from the drilling core (down to a depth of 200 m below the seabed) and multichannel seismic section. The correlation value was increased from 15% to 45% through time-depth conversion. An initial model of P-wave impedance was set, and the results were compared by performing model-based, band-limited, and sparse-spike inversions. The derived P-impedance distributions exhibited differences between sediment-dominant and unconsolidated layers. The P-impedance inversion process can be used as a framework for an integrated analysis of additional core logs and seismic data in the future. Furthermore, the derived P-impedance can be used to detect shallow gas-saturated regions or faults in the shallow sediment. As domestic deep drilling is being performed continuously for identifying the characteristics of carbon dioxide storage candidates and evaluating resources, the applicability of the integrated inversion will increase in the future.

Objective : Multisensory integration (MSI) is the essential process to use diverse sensory information for cognitive task or execution of motor action. Especially, visual and somatosensory integration is critical for motor behavior and coordination. This study was designed to explain spatial and temporal characteristics of visual and somatosensory integration by neurophysiological research method that identifies the time course and brain location of the SI process. Methods : Electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potential (ERP) is used in this study in order to observe neural activities when integrating visual and tactile input. We calculate the linear summation (SUM) of visual-related potentials (VEPs) and somatosensory-related potentials (SEPs), and compared the SUM with simultaneously presented visual-tactile ERPs(SIM) Results : There were significant differences between the SIM and SUM in later time epochs (about 200-300ms) at contralateral somatosensory areas (C4) and occipital cortices (O1&O2). The amplitude of the SIM was mathematically larger than the summed signals, implying that the integration made some extra neural activities. Conclusion : This study provides some empirical neural evidence of that multisensory integration is more powerful than just combing two unisensory inputs in the brain and ERP data reveals neural signature relating to multisensory integrative process. Since this study is preliminary pilot study, larger population and criteria are needed for level of the significance. Further study is recommended to consider issues including effect of internally-driven attention and laterality of interaction to make the evidence by this study solid.

Three-dimensional microscopic approaches in histopathology display multiplex properties that present puzzling questions for specimens as related to their comprehensive volumetric information. This information includes spatial distribution of molecules, three-dimensional co-localization, structural formation and whole data set that cannot be determined by two-dimensional section slides due to the inevitable loss of spatial information. Advancement of optical instruments such as two-photon microscopy and high performance objectives with motorized correction collars have narrowed the gap between optical theories and the actual reality of deep tissue imaging. However, the benefits gained by a prolonged working distance, two-photon laser and optimized beam alignment are inevitably diminished because of the light scattering phenomenon that is deeply related to the refractive index mismatch between each cellular component and the surrounding medium. From the first approaches with simple crude refractive index matching techniques to the recent cutting-edge integrated tissue clearing methods, an achievement of transparency without morphological denaturation and eradication of natural and fixation-induced nonspecific autofluorescence out of real signal are key factors to determine the perfection of tissue clearing and the immunofluorescent staining for high contrast images. When performing integrated laboratory workflow of tissue for processing frozen and formalin-fixed tissues, clear lipid-exchanged acrylamide-hybridized rigid imaging/immunostaining/in situ hybridization-compatible tissue hydrogel (CLARITY), an equipment-based tissue clearing method, is compatible with routine procedures in a histopathology laboratory.

It is worth verifying the effectiveness of data integration between data with different features. This study investigated whether the data integration affects the accuracy of deep neural network (DNN), and which integration method shows the best improvement. This study used two different public datasets. One public dataset was taken in an actual farm in India. And another was taken in a laboratory environment in Korea. Leaf images were selected from two different public datasets to have five classes which includes normal and four different types of plant diseases. DNN used pre-trained VGG16 as a feature extractor and multi-layer perceptron as a classifier. Data were integrated into three different ways to be used for the training process. DNN was trained in a supervised manner via the integrated data. The trained DNN was evaluated by using a test dataset taken in an actual farm. DNN shows the best accuracy for the test dataset when DNN was first trained by images taken in the laboratory environment and then trained by images taken in the actual farm. The results show that data integration between plant images taken in a different environment helps improve the performance of deep neural networks. And the results also confirmed that independent use of plant images taken in different environments during the training process is more effective in improving the performance of DNN.

도시화, 산업화의 진전으로 토지개발이 가속화되고 대지, 도로, 주차장 등 불투수층 면적이 늘어남에 따라 비점오염원에 의한 하천, 호소의 수질영향도가 커지고 있다. 특히 낙동강유역에서의 오염원관리, 특히 비점오염원의 정량화는 삭감시설의 삭감량 평가 및 배출오염원 평가에 더욱 절실한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 삭감시설의 삭감량 평가 시에는 실험실 규모로 이상적인 유량 상태를 가정하여 삭감효율을 산정하고 있으나 자연강우에 의하여 나타나는 삭감효율 평가는 이상적인 유량 평가 해석시 와는 사뭇 다른 경향을 나타낸다. 또한 유역 말단 지점에서의 3년 평균 수질이 목표수질을 상회하였을 경우 오염총량 기본계획 지역에서 오염총량 이행평가 지역으로 포함시켜 오염부하량 관리를 실시하고 있다. 그러나 배출부하량과 수질의 연계가 쉽지 않고, 그 원인이 되는 지역 및 시기를 찾아 특별 관리하는 것이 난해하여 하천 수질 관리가 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 이유들로 인하여 최근 비점오염원 영향의 심각성에 대한 인식이 커지고 있으며, 점오염원의 관리뿐만 아니라 비점오염원 관리의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 두 오염원 형태를 통합적으로 관리하고 각각의 오염원에 의한 수질 영향에 관심과 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 또한, 최근까지 유역 모델과 수질 모형을 이용해 각각의 유역이나 하천에 적용하고, 수행한 예는 국내와 국외에 많이 있다. 하지만 수량과 수질을 함께 통합적으로 연계하고, 그 적용성을 평가한 연구는 그 수가 상대적으로 적다. 하지만, 최근 들어 수질의 통합하천관리의 중요성을 인식하고 각각의 모형의 장단점을 고려하여 다양한 모형들을 연계하는 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 통합적 수질관리의 필요성 증대에 따라, 유역 내 수문 순환 및 비점오염원의 발생 거동을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 통해 비점오염원으로 인한 유역 내 수질 영향을 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 QUALKO 모형과 연계하여 하천 수질 모델링을 수행할 것이다. 또한, 이를 바탕으로 비점오염원에 의한 유역 내 하천 수질 영향도를 파악함으로써, 추후 비점오염원에 대한 인식 제고에 활용될 것이며, 모니터링 기법 및 GIS기반 유역관리모델 개발, 4대강 비점오염원 최적관리기법 연구 등에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In computer-based virtual lab, a bioscience researcher who wants to obtain bio information first uses a biodiversity-related database to retrieve information on species, ecology and distribution of an organism. The researcher also needs to access gene/protein databases such as GenBank or PDB to find information on the organism's genetic sequence and protein structure. Furthermore, the researcher should search for academic papers containing the information on the organism so that his research is based on comprehensive and accurate information. This series of activities often undermines research efficiency as it takes a lot of time and causes inconvenience on the part of researchers. To solve such inconvenience, we analyzed various methods for integrated search and chosen schema integration. In addition, we analyzed each databases and extracted metadata for designing schema integration. This paper introduces a biological information retrieval system(BIRS) using schema integration and it's interface that will increase research efficiency for bioscience.

To enhance learning efficiency, we implement a hybrid experimental system for electrical and electronic circuits where web-based virtual laboratory system and distant education system are properly integrated. In the first stage, we developed web-based virtual laboratory systems for electrical/electronic circuit experiments, which are composed of three important sessions and their management system: concept learning, virtual experiment, assessment. In the second stage, we have implemented cost-effective distant laboratory systems for practicing electric/electronic circuits, which can be used to eliminate the lack of reality occurred during virtual laboratory session. The proposed virtual/ distant laboratory systems can be used in stand-alone fashion, but to enhance learning efficiency we integrated them and developed a creative hybrid experimental system for electric and electronic circuits.

최근 이상기후현상으로 홍수와 가뭄의 발생 빈도 증가 및 하천유지유량 부족 등 하천에서 유량 변동이 크게 나타나고 하천 환경 변화에 따른 수질오염, 갈수기 수질악화 등 하천에서 다양한 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 수질은 매개변수별 기준 농도와 측정 농도를 비교하여 평가하지만 직독식 측정 항목과 실험실 분석 항목 및 미측정 항목을 포함하기 때문에 수질 상태를 정확하게 나타내기 어렵다. 물리적, 화학적 및 생물학적 특성의 매개변수를 분석하여 수질을 평가하지만, 복잡한 수질 데이터를 단순하고 논리적으로 수질을 요약하기 위해 단일 값으로 매개변수를 통합한 수질지수가 개발되었다. 다양한 국가 및 기관에서 개발된 수질지수는 방법론, 최종산출 방법의 차이로 동일한 지점 및 기간에서 측정되는 자료를 각각의 수질지수 방법론을 적용하였을 때 상이한 점수 및 등급이 발생하여 유역 특성에 적절한 수질지수를 활용하는 것이 필요하며, 유량 변동이 고려되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 수질지수 산정 매개변수를 유역 특성 및 관리기준을 고려하여 매개변수를 수정하고 매개변수별 중요도에 따른 가중치를 재산정하고 유량 인자를 추가하여 복합적인 하천 수질을 종합적으로 평가하고자 한다. 또한, 물리모형과 데이터 모형을 활용하여 기후변화에 따른 수질 변동 평가를 통해 수문학적 변화가 하천 수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 한다.
