Space debris has been a major issue recently for the space-active nations because its growing population is expected to increase the collision risk with operational satellites. Radar and electro-optical system has been used for space debris surveillance, which may cause unnecessary anti-collision manoeuvers due to their low tracking accuracy. So an additional tracking system is required to improve the predicted orbit accuracy and then to jude the anti-collision maneouvers more efficiently. The laser tracking system has been considered as an alternative to decrease these unnecessary manoeuvers. Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute has been developing a space object laser tracking system which is capable of laser tracking for satellites with retro-reflectors and for space debris using high power laser, and satellite imaging using adaptive optics. In this study, the tracking capability is analyzed for space debris using high power laser based on link budget, false alarm probability and signal detection probability.

In this study long term rainfall-runoff model, developed based on SSARR, was applied to Geum river basin and its simulation results of major control points were compared with the corresponding observed channel discharges. The validities of the simulation results were examined with re-measured discharges of those control points. From the above procedure the points showing the unreliable results were found out and its principal causes are analyzed through hydrological inspection of runoff characteristics of their circumstances. Finally the simulation results were modified by the consideration of the effects by small-scale hydraulic structures which could directly affect the channel discharges. As a result the annual runoff simulations of two major points in Geum river basin, Yongdam and Daecheong dam sites, work well. However the low flow simulation of the point located between them, Sutong station, showed more or less the unreliable result. Its causes are considered by means of the hydraulic/hydrological inspection of the corresponding point.

Discharge measurement during flood season is very difficult. Microwave water surface current meter (MWSCM) can measures river surface velocities easily without contacting water. This study introduces its improved version, MWSCM for general use. The existing version of MWSCM is for floods so that its applicable period in a year is short. It has been improved to extend its applicability in a year. The range of measurable velocity for MWSCM for general use is extended so it can be applied during normal flows as well as high flows. MWSCM for general use can measure the velocity range of $0.03{\sim}20.0ms^{-1}$, whereas MWSCM for floods can measure the velocity range of $0.5{\sim}10.0ms^{-1}$. To make such innovation of MWSCM for general use, the applied microwave frequency of MWSCM was changed from 10 GHz to 24 GHz. Waveguide slot array antenna has been designed with the new development of the circuit of transmitting and receiving part. Improvement requests on the existing MWSCM for floods - weight lightening, measured velocity stabilization, self-test, low power consumption, and waterproof and dampproof - from the users of it have been reflected for the development of the new version of MWSCM.

The fuel moisture changes accompanying with the elapsed days after a rainfall is very important to predict the risk of forest fire and make a good use of forest fire guard. So, to investigate the conditions for the risk of forest fire, it was studied the risk of forest fire for fallen leaves level, rotten level, and soil level after more-than-5 mm-rainfall according to the different forest density of pine forests which were located in Yeong-dong region in the Spring of 2007. The result of the study showed that the around 17% of fuel moisture which was the risky level for forest fire was reached after three days of a rainfall in the coarse dense forest region and after five days in the medium or highly dense forest region. However, for the rotten level represents more than 30% of fuel moisture even after six days after the rainfall, and the lower and upper level of the soil represented a slight or almost no changes. Based on the result, the prediction model ($R^2$=0.56~0.87) for the change of fuel moisture was developed, and it was examined by applying to actual meteorological measurements in the same period of 2008. It showed a meaningful result of 1% level of distinction.

Organic matters as COD, ignition loss, phaeophytin pigment, and sulfide in the superficial bottom mud in the shellfish farms during summer in 1981 were determined to find an eutrophication level for the conservation of the farms. Both the Goseong Bay and the Jaran Bay, which are productive shellfish farms, are located along the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. The Goseong Bay is 8m deep with a narrow mouth and approximately $17.5km^2$ in area, and the Jaran Bay 10m deep with $27.3km^2$. The bottoms are silty. Major shellfishes cultured are the oyster by the off-bottom method and the arkshell in the bottom. COD contents were $12.5{\sim}19.5\;mg/g$ dry mud, ignition loss $6.70{\sim}11.83\%$, phaeophytin pigment $6.8{\sim}11.0{\mu}g/g$ dry mud, and sulfide $0.18{\sim}0.64{\mu}g/g$ dry mud. There were no significant differences in the determined quantities between two bays. All quantities except the sulfide which is a little over than an eutrophication level, 0.3 mg/g dry mud, shows that the bottom muds are in an early stage of eutrophication. In addition, there was no particular increase in quantities of aforementioned four paramenters in comparision with those of 1976. It means that the eutrophication in the Goseong-Jaran Bay makes slow progress.

Sinkholes have occurred in various places around the world and concerns about public safety have been raised in recent years. Particularly, a ground subsidence may occur due to a variety of conditions when developing underground spaces. Ground subsidence refers to the sinking of the Earth's surface caused by the loss of the soil constituting ground due to a certain artificial cause in the ground. Ground subsidence is induced by artificial causes such as the leakage of water supply/sewage pipes and groundwater disturbance, and it is different from a sinkhole, where the sinking of the Earth's surface is induced by the cavity formed due to the melting of limestone in the ground with limestone bedrock. In recent underground development in the urban areas of Korea, damages to surrounding buildings have frequently led to many difficulties with civil complaints and compensation issues, and the collapse of some buildings has resulted in the loss of lives and property. Accordingly, the central government has legislated the Special Act on Underground Safety Management, which will take effect from January 1, 2018. This law specifies an underground safety management system for securing underground safety, under which underground safety impact assessment is performed for projects involving underground excavation work that exceeds a certain size, and safety inspection is regularly performed for underground facilities and the surrounding ground. In this study, the contents of the special act on underground safety management are reviewed, and the direction of development of underground safety policy for preparing preemptive underground safety management preparation and response system is suggested.

Enzymatic synthesis of fructose-based sugar fatty acid esters, such as methyl fructoside oleic acid mono and diester, was investigated using methyl fructoside as a sugar starting material. For the production of methyl fructoside fatty acid monoester by solvent process, 2-methyl 2-propanol was found to be a god reaction medium resulting a higher yield and productivity due to its high sugar solubility. The yield and productivity of methyl fructoside oleic acid monoester were 70% and 12.6g/L-hr, respectively, when molar ratio of methyl fructoside, initial concentration of methyl fructoside, enzyme(Novozym 435) content, and reaction temperature were 3:1, 200g/L, 1%(w/v), and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. Methyl fructoside oleic acid diester was prepared by lipase-catalyzed diacylation of methyl fructoside and oleic acid in the solvent-free process. Maximum yield of 98% and productivity of 140g/L-hr were achieved when molar ratio(methyl fructoside and oleic acid) of 1:2 enzyme content of 10%(w/v) and reaction temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ were applied for the operating conditions under a reduced pressure of 20∼200 mmHg.

The aim of this study is to investigate the end of filaments of the different toothbrushes in the market through the stereomicroscope and to evaluate the % of rounded-end filaments considered to be acceptable. 9 brands, total 11 type toothbrushes were tested. 2 toothbrushes of each type which is marked as rounded-end filaments were tested. The toothbrushes which are not marked as rounded-end filaments were excluded. The domestic as well as foreign toothbrushes which are familiar to consumers were tested. 2 tufts of each toothbrushes were cut and examined by stereomicroscope using $40{\times}$ magnification. The procedure was carried out with blind-technique, and the digital photographs were taken. Besides the % of rounded-end filaments, total tufts number, material of the tuft, stiffness, and other special characteristics were recorded. By the classification of Silverstone and Featherstone, rounded-end filaments were examined and counted. The results shows that there are different range of rounded-end filaments according to the toothbrush types(17.7%-91.2%). Atman toothbrush has the most rounded-end filaments(91.2%) among the observed toothbrushes, and the Advantage Plus(Ora1-B) has the next(86.75%). E-Clean #411 has the least(17.70%) and E-Clean #410 of the same brand has also low % rounded-end filaments(20.60%). While G.U.M #409(Butler) has 67.90% rounded-end filaments, G.U.M #471 of the Same brand has comparative low 41.83% rounded-end filaments. 4 types of total 11 have the rounded-end filaments over 80%, however other 4 types have under even 50%. Considering that the correct brushing habit with a toothbrush which has rounded-end filaments can protect the gingival injury and tooth abrasion, it is thought that we dentists need to give the correct information about toothbrush to the patients

최근 임플란트를 원하고, 필요로 하는 환자가 증가하면서 술전의 정확한 진단이 보다 중요해졌고 다양한 진단방법이 소개되고 이용되어져 왔다. 그 중 보편적으로 가장 널리 사용되어지는 방법이 방사선 촬영법이고 그 중에서도 파노라마방사선사진이다. 하지만 파노라마방사선사진의 용이함과 간편성에도 불구하고 그 방법 자체가 가지고 있는 한계점 때문에 CT/MPR(Computer Tomography/Multiplanar Reformatting)이 일부 환자에서는 반드시 필요하다는 주장이 대다수이다. 본 연구의 목적은 하악 구치부에 임플란트 시술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율을 알아보고 파노라마방사선사진과 CT/MPR에서 치조정-하악관간 거리가 실제 어느 정도 차이를 보이는지, 그리고 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율에 환자의 하악골의 경사도와 하악관의 해부학적 위치가 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구는 서울대학 치과병원 치주과를 내원하여 하악구치부에 Dental Implant 시술을 받은 15명의 환자, 32개 부위를 대상으로, 임플란트 시술을 위한 술전 파노라마방사선사진과 CT/MPR, 술후의 파노라마방사선사진, CT/MPR상을 자료로, 임플란트가 식립될 위치에서 치조정에서 하악관의 길이, 하악골의 협설폭경, 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관의 수평길이, 임플란트 매식체의 설측에서 하악관까지의 수평거리를 계측하였고 이 해부학적 계측치들이 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율과 어떤 상관관계에 있는지 Pearson's correlation coefficient test를 이용해 살펴보았다. 1. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골 단면의 협설폭경(Pearson test에서의 상관관계 분석시, 상관계수 r=-0.604), 임플란트 매식체의 설측에서 하악관까지의 수평거리(r=-0.515), 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리(r=-0.640)와 뚜렷한 음적 선형관계가 있었다. 2. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골의 장축의 각도와는 뚜렷한 양적 선형관계(Pearson test에서의 상관관계 분석시, 상관계수 r=-0.446)가 있었다. 3. 여러 요소중 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율과 가장 유의성있는 연관성을 보이는 것은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리였다(r=-0.640) 4. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 일반적으로 생각되어지는 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율 125%보다 큰, 약 135%로 나왔다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리가 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율에 가장 영향을 미치는 요소로 추정되며 확대율은 125%보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.
