This article focused on the meaning of the 1979 Moon Treaty and its future. Although the Moon Treaty is one of the major 5 space related treaties, it was accepted by only 11 member states which are non-space powers, thus having the least enfluences on the field of space law. And this article analysed the relationship between the 1979 Moon Treay and 1967 Space Treaty which was the first principle treaty, and searched the meaning of the "Common Heritage of Mankind(hereinafter CHM)" stipulated in the Moon treaty in terms of international law. This article also dealt with the present and future problems arising from the Moon Treaty. As far as the 1967 Space Treaty is concerned the main standpoint is that outer space including the moon and the other celestial bodies is res extra commercium, areas not subject to national appropriation like high seas. It proclaims the principle non-appropriation concerning the celestial bodies in outer space. But the concept of CHM stipulated in the Moon Treaty created an entirely new category of territory in international law. This concept basically conveys the idea that the management, exploitation and distribution of natural resources of the area in question are matters to be decided by the international community and are not to be left to the initiative and discretion of individual states or their nationals. Similar provision is found in the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention that operates the International Sea-bed Authority created by the concept of CHM. According to the Moon Treaty international regime will be established as the exploitation of the natural resources of the celestial bodies other than the Earth is about to become feasible. Before the establishment of an international regime we could imagine moratorium upon the expoitation of the natural resources on the celestial bodies. But the drafting history of the Moon Treaty indicates that no moratorium on the exploitation of natural resources was intended prior to the setting up of the international regime. So each State Party could exploit the natural resources bearing in mind that those resouces are CHM. In this respect it would be better for Korea, now not a party to the Moon Treaty, to be a member state in the near future. According to the Moon Treaty the efforts of those countries which have contributed either directly or indirectly the exploitation of the moon shall be given special consideration. The Moon Treaty, which although is criticised by some space law experts represents a solid basis upon which further space exploration can continue, shows the expression of the common collective wisdom of all member States of the United Nations and responds the needs and possibilities of those that have already their technologies into outer space.

The UN COPUOS was established in 1959 as a permanent committee of the UN General Assembly with the aims to promote international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space, to formulate space-related programmes within the UN, to encourage research and dissemination of information on space, and to study legal problems arising from the outer space activities. Its members have been enlarged from 24 members in 1959 to 76 in 2014. The Legal Subcommittee, which has been established under COPUOS in 1962 to deal with legal problems associated with space activities, through its first three decades of work has set up a framework of international space law: the five treaties and agreements - namely the Outer Space Treaty, Rescue Agreement, Liability Convention, Registration Convention, Moon Agreement - and the five declarations and legal principles. However, some sceptical views on this legal framework has been expressed, concerning the applicability of existing international space law to practical issues and new kinds of emerging space activities. UNISPACE III, which took place in 1999, served as a momentum to revitalize the discussions of the legal issues faced by the international community in outer space activities. The agenda of the Legal Subcommittee is currently structured into three categories: regular items, single issue/items, and items considered under a multi-year workplan. The regular items, which deal with basic legal issues, include definition and delimitation of outer space, status and application of the five UN treaties on outer space, and national legislation relevant to the peaceful exploration and use of outer space. The single issues/items, which are decided upon the preceding year, are discussed only for one year in the plenary unless renewed. They include items related to the use of nuclear power sources in outer space and to the space debris mitigation. The agenda items considered under a multi-year work plan are discussed in working group. Items under this category deal with non-legally binding UN instruments on outer space and international mechanism for cooperation. In recent years, the Subcommittee has made some progress on agenda items related to nuclear power sources, space debris, and international cooperation by means of establishing non-legally binding instruments, or soft law. The Republic of Korea became the member state of COPUOS in 2001, after rotating seats every two years with Cuba and Peru since 1994. Korea's joining of COPUOS seems to be late, in considering that some countries with hardly any space activity, such Chad, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Lebanon, Cameroon, joined COPUOS as early as 1960s and 1970s and contributed to the drafting of the aforementioned treaties, declarations, and legal principles. Given the difficulties to conclude a treaty and un urgency to regulate newly emerging space activities, Legal Subcommittee now focuses its effort on developing soft law such as resolutions and guideline to be adopted by UN General Assembly. In order to have its own practices reflected in the international practices, one of the constituent elements of international customary law, Korea should analyse its technical capability, policy, and law related to outer space activities and participate actively in the formation process of the soft law.

In the last decade, heavy rainfall induced debris flow events have been remarkably occurred in Korea. Consequently, debris flow is becoming one of the most dangerous natural phenomena in mountainous area. Understanding and correct predicting of the runout distance of debris flow is an essential prerequisite for developing debris flow hazard map and prevention technology. Based on the simple and widely used sled model, in this study, we analyse the net efficiency of debris flows which is a dimensionless constant (=1/R) and defined by the ratio of the horizontal runout distance L from the debris flow source to deposit and the vertical elevation H of the source above the deposit. The analysis of field data observed in total 238 debris flow events occurred from 2002 to 2011 reveals that the representative value of the net efficiency of debris flows in Korea is 4.3. The data observed in Gangwon province where is the most debris flow-prone area in Korea shows that debris flows in Inje area have the runout distance longer than those in Pyongchang and Gangneung. Overall features of the net efficiency of debris flows observed in the central Korea are similar to those in the southern Korea. The estimation based on aerial photographs and available depositional conditions appears to overestimate the net efficiency compared to estimation based on the field observations, which indicates that appropriate depositional conditions need to be developed for debris flows in Korea.

2017년 겨울, 기록적인 한파로 인해 바다가 얼면서 인천 앞바다로 유빙이 유입되었다. 2013년 해상에서 유빙이 발견된 이후 약 5년만에 다시 유빙이 등장한 것이다. 중부청 소속 항공단 순찰결과에 따르면, 2018년 1월 12일 인천대교 인근 해상에서 최초로 발견된 이후 강화 연안, 영종도 북단 등 해상에서 광범위하고 불규칙한 형태로 유빙이 분포되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유빙의 문제점은 해상에서 선박의 안전운항을 저해하고 경비함정의 안전에 지장을 초래하며 기름 유출 시, 유출유의 거동 특성이 달라져 일반적인 방제방법의 적용이 곤란한 점이다. 이에 따라 해상에서의 해양오염사고 대응방안 마련을 위해 저온 및 유빙 유입 해상에서 유출유의 거동 특성을 알아보았다. 구분인자를 극한의 추위(Extreme Cold), 유빙(Pack Ice), 정착빙(Fast Ice) 3가지로 분류하여 기름의 성상변화 및 시사점을 살펴보고, 유출된 기름의 효율적 방제를 크게 3가지로 분류(기계적 봉쇄 및 회수, 화학적 분산제의 사용, 현장소각)하였다. 일반적인 방제장비를 저온 및 얼음분포 해상에서 사용 시 슬러시화 된 얼음으로 인해 유출유 회수가 어렵고, 동결온도에서 장비가 오작동할 우려가 있다. 이미 북유럽 국가에서는 극한의 추위와 얼음분포 해상에 특화된 방제장비를 도입하여 해양오염대비 대응을 하고 있다. 2003년 3월 발틱해에서 불법적으로 유출한 선저폐수를 특화 장비는 brush bucket 유회수기 이용 방제조치한 사례가 있으며, 2006년 5월 같은 장소에서 선박 침몰로 인한 기름 유출이 발생했을때도 brush bucket 유회수기 이용 방제조치를 하였다. 국내에도 이상 기후로 인해 기록적인 한파가 지속되면서 북극에서나 볼 법한 유빙들이 발견되고, 해양오염사고는 언제 어디서나 발생할 수 있으므로, 해양오염방제의 임무를 맡고 있는 국가기관으로써 특수한 환경까지도 고려하여 대응방안을 마련할 필요가 있다. 해양오염이 재난으로 인식되고 있는 상황에서, 그리고 지구온난화로 인한 이상기후변화가 지속되는 상황에서 겨울철 유빙 유입은 점점 더 많아질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 자료나 방제경험이 부족하므로 일찌감치 북극항로 개발로 앞선 방제기술과 경험을 가지고 있는 북극이사회를 벤치마킹하여 관할 해역 특성에 맞는 대응방안을 고찰해 본다.

The hopes for making vivid images of mankind made 'film' that reflects easy communications. Film have made satisfactions to imagination of man by varied experimental expressions from the beginning. Many of directors and producers were eager to make film to be with relevant views. At last film has making to do with the digital tool, so called 'Computer Graphics' . Making images through computers have changed more better with the developing skills of softwares. NASA has developed Aero-Simulations first, it have called computer graphics for the first time in history. The computer graphics can make images with very varieties that had not exprerienced before and we won't expect the upcomming skills of it. Special Effects(SFX) through the films began the genre of Science Fiction in the era of ideology and space competetions and producer George Lucas made the firm named ILMOndustrial Light & Magic) to making picture of SFX. At last 'Abyss', 'Terminator II', 'Toy Story' and 'Forrest Gump' have made to us with many splendid arangements by the computers. Especially, we can concluded that the relevant expressions as in 'Forrest Gump' is the unexpected charming and human images with wonder. In Korean films are less varied, relevant and reasonable than that of American films, in this study I hope to develope more natural Korean computer graphic in near future.

The use of digital terrain model has been enlarged in calculating the earthwork due to the development of aerial photogrammetry. The calculation of earthwork plays a major role in plan or design of many civil engineering projects, and thus it has become very important to advance the accuracy of earthwork calculation. In this study, I have made an analysis of influences which DTM makes on the height accuracy of data ; on the basis of the analysis, we can develop the predictive model formula of profile shape coefficients by which the accuracy of earthwork can he preestimated in practical design according to data density of terrain, making thereby good contribution to the calculation of both earthwork amount and its expenses. This study shows that the accuracy of earthwork is more affected by the distances of cross-sections than by data density and that the effects by the standard errors of height decrease in proportion as the distances of cross-sections are great It also shows that when the prediction model formula of profile shape coefficients is applied to ordinary cases, the differences between the predicted earthwork errors and the errors by ordinary est imation are at 0.8374~3.1437$cm^3$/m, on flat terrain and 1.5628~6.967$cm^3$/m, on mountainous terrain-so little as to be ignored ; thus it can be safely ascertained that the accurate earthwork errors can be predicted applying the prediction model formula made in this study.

고도로 산업화가 진행됨에 따라 회전기계는 더욱 중요시되고 있으며 이의 성능 향상에 부단한 노력이 경주되고 있다. 특히 우주 시대의 개막과 더불어 우주선 및 인공위성에 사용하기 위해 초소형이며 초고속의 고성능회전모타 를 개발하기에 이르렀다. 한 예로서 미국립항공우주국(NASA)의 스페이스셔 틀에 사용되는 주엔진 터보펌프를 들 수 있는데 이 터보펌프는 접시만한 크 기로써 71000마력을 생성해 낸다. 이러한 가공할 만한 에너지 밀도와 유량을 감당해 내려면 종래의 회전기계보다는 훨씬 더 높은 회전속도를 가져야 한 다. 이러한 회전체는 큰 관성부하와 진 동 및 동안정성의 문제등을 내포하고 있다. 고성능 회전기계의 또다른 예로서 초정밀 가공용 공작기계를 들 수 있 다. 선반 혹은 밀링머신으로 초정밀가공을 행하기 위해서는 회전축의 진동이 극히 작아야 한다. 이와 같이 오늘날 갈수록 초고성능 초정밀도를 추구함에 있어서 회전축의 진동을 현장에서 모니터링하고 이 진동데이터를 분석하여 회전축을 제어하는 것이 강력히 요구되어진다. 따라서 in-situ 측정이 중요성 을 띠게 되었는데 이는 제어기술의 바탕이 되는 자료를 현장에서 제공할 수 있기 때문이다. 회전축 진동측정의 대상이 되는 것들은 모타, 발전기, 엔진 및 터빈등을 대표적으로 들 수가 있다. 여기서 소형회전기계의 축표면과 같 이 비교적 곡면을 이루고 있는 부분의 진동변위 측정에 신중한 고려가 요구 되어 진다. 이는 축의 곡면도에 따라 감도가 변화하기 때문이다. 따라서 평 판에 대한 calibration 챠트를 회전기계축진동 변위환상에 이용하면 곡률에 따라서 오차가 생기게 된다. 본 연구에서는 비접촉 축진동측정시 발생되는 오차에 대하여 검토하고자 한다. from the studies, the origin of ${\alpha}$$_1$peak was attributed to the detrapping process form trap with 2.88[eV] deep of injected space charge from the chathode in the crystaline regions. The origin of ${\alpha}$$_2$ peak was regarded as the detrapping process of ions trapped with 0.9[eV] deep originated from impurity-ion remained in the specimen during production process of the material, in the crystalline regions. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was concluded to be due to the depolarization process of "C=0"dipole with the activation energy of 0.75[eV] in the amorphous regions. The origin of ${\gamma}$ peak was responsible to the process combined with the depolarization of "CH$_3$", chain segment, with the activation energy of carriers from the shallow trap with 0.

More than 10 different cases of airline overrun accidents happened annually home and abroad in recent years. So the government put the guidelines to protect that kinds of accidents, which is named 'Runway End Safety Area'. However, the great part of airports are far from the standards, because most of the airports have been built before the guidelines. Moreover, in many cases natural obstacles, ambiance, and local area developments obstruct the extension of the runway to meet the criteria. For these reasons, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that the aviation fields construct 'Aircraft Rapid Arresting System(ARAS)' at the end of the runway. Many airdromes have been constructing the system and some airports have already completed the construction. In this research, our team performed a basic study about low strength perlite concrete to provide the proper material with 'ARAS'. As a result, the unit weight of the low strength perlite concrete was $4.5{\sim}6.4kN/m^3$ and uniaxial compressive strength was measured in the range of $400{\sim}1,470kN/m^2$. In addition, we tested penetration compressive strength by using CBR tester, and we observed that the strength was increased after around 60% of penetration rate. Also, 40% of penetration rate was measured through the penetration test with dump trucks.

In this study, images were classified using convolutional neural network (CNN) - a deep learning technique - to investigate the feasibility of information production through a combination of artificial intelligence and spatial data. CNN determines kernel attributes based on a classification criterion and extracts information from feature maps to classify each pixel. In this study, a CNN network was constructed to classify materials with similar spectral characteristics and attribute information; this is difficult to achieve by conventional image processing techniques. A Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager(CASI) and an Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Application (AISA) were used on the following three study sites to test this method: Site 1, Site 2, and Site 3. Site 1 and Site 2 were agricultural lands covered in various crops,such as potato, onion, and rice. Site 3 included different buildings,such as single and joint residential facilities. Results indicated that the classification of crop species at Site 1 and Site 2 using this method yielded accuracies of 96% and 99%, respectively. At Site 3, the designation of buildings according to their purpose yielded an accuracy of 96%. Using a combination of existing land cover maps and spatial data, we propose a thematic environmental map that provides seasonal crop types and facilitates the creation of a land cover map.

With acquisition of satellite image being facilitated due to recent advancement in Electro optical and astronautic technologies, focus on establishment of Geoinformation and analysis using satellite images have increased. This research have conducted digital plotting and digitizing operation, utilizing stereo images and grey level images provided by SPOT5 satellite and evaluated the accuracy through comparison and analysis with digital map results. Digital plotting results acquired using stereo images have been compared and analyzed on the basis of scale 1:25,000 digital map results published by National Geographic Information Institute. Accuracy of 20 check points have showed RMSE results 5.369 m at X (Easting) and 4.718 m, digitizing using grey level images showed RMSE results 7.616 m in X (Easting) and Y (Northing) 6.532 m. This is within the allowance of accuracy standards for scale 1:25,000 maps, and although digitizing operation was confirmed to have lower accuracy than that of digital plotting, using the former is considered to be more effective in terms of economical efficiency.
