Vegetation information is a very important factor used in various fields such as urban planning, landscaping, water resources, and the environment. Vegetation varies according to canopy density or chlorophyll content, but vegetation vitality is not considered when classifying vegetation areas in previous studies. In this study, in order to satisfy various applied studies, a study was conducted to set a threshold value of vegetation index considering vegetation vitality. First, an eBee fixed-wing drone was equipped with a multi-spectral camera to construct optical and near-infrared orthomosaic images. Then, GIS calculation was performed for each orthomosaic image to calculate the NDVI, GNDVI, SAVI, and MSAVI vegetation index. In addition, the vegetation position of the target site was investigated through VRS survey, and the accuracy of each vegetation index was evaluated using vegetation vitality. As a result, the scenario in which the vegetation vitality point was selected as the vegetation area was higher in the classification accuracy of the vegetation index than the scenario in which the vegetation vitality point was slightly insufficient. In addition, the Kappa coefficient for each vegetation index calculated by overlapping with each site survey point was used to select the best threshold value of vegetation index for classifying vegetation by scenario. Therefore, the evaluation of vegetation index accuracy considering the vegetation vitality suggested in this study is expected to provide useful information for decision-making support in various business fields such as city planning in the future.

Experiments on the physiological root activity and its related characteristics of rice varieties were carried out in order to obtain some basic informations for the application of the results obtained to a rice breeding program. A significant positive correlation was found not only among the various characteristics related to conducting and ventilating systems which connects top and root of rice plant, but also between these characteristics and root activity. On the other hand, a significant difference in physiological root activity was recognized among different varieties and also between different groups of recognized 7 rice varieties differing in the their origin. It was also found that varieties with higher root activity (root activity indices) after ear formation stage tended to have more number of lower green leaves and consequently resulted in higher grain yield. Therefore, it may be possible to diagnose indirectly the root activity by examining the number of green leaves of the rice plant at later growth stage when breeders make selections of parent material for crossing or of hybrid lines in pedigree nurseries.

People can access to their vital signs easy through portable devices and wearable devices. The vital signs are used only for the purpose of health care, and can not be found when they are used for purposes other than health care. In this paper, we propose a web site to judge the emotional state of a viewer by using vital signs provided by smart bands. On the proposed web sites, user can see the overall trend of a person's vital signs and the vital signs of a person's best scenes and specific scenes. In this paper, we recognized the necessity to utilize the vital signs as an aspect other than existing health care. In this study, we analyzed the emotional state of people with vital signs and implemented them as a web site. In this paper, we store vital signs in a database, apply algorithms based on stored data, and draw graphs to provide user - specific graphs and graphs of all users on the Web site.

Since vegetations are near the wavelength range in 700nm and have absorbent as well as reflective wavelength ranges, there is a much difference in terms of its reflection rate. There are currently many researches on vegetation index being conducted in order to apply the remote-sensing technology to vegetations rising their characteristics of absorbent and reflective wavelength ranges. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Perpendicular Vegetation Index (PVI) have been most commonly used. It is usually the evaporation, carbon-dioxide consumption, and chlorophyll density that represent the activity of vegetation, but chlorophyll density is the most commonly used among them. Since the red wavelength range used to obtain the NDVI and PVI has a strong extinction of chlorophyll, it is also useful to test chlorophyll density. The NDVI, in particular, is used to identify the vegetation conditions summarily, and thus, is suitable for initiative researches. Nevertheless, since these vegetation index produce mixed information of the Vegetation vigor and vegetation cover, it is essential to monitor a wavelength range that is independent from redundancy of the Vegetation vigor and vegetation cover. Although many vegetation indices have evaluated both the vegetation vigor and Vegetation cover simultaneously, this research intends to emphasize the utility of separable evaluations of the Vegetation vigor and Vegetation Cover rate through an experiment with grasses. As a result of evaluating vegetation index using spectral reflectance, a separable evaluation of the vegetation vigor and cover has been found more useful.

COVID-19 has had a detrimental effect on urban vibrancy, particularly in urban commercial districts. Against this backdrop, the goal of this study is to examine the changes in social and economic vitality in Seoul's commercial area before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, and to identify influential factors for the changes in vitality using multinomial logistic analysis. The following are the key findings derived from the study. First, an examination of the changes in the vitality of commercial districts by type revealed that the decline in economic vitality was greater than the decline in social vitality. Second, the greater the residential ratio, the less harmful the impact of COVID-19 on urban vibrancy. Third, unlike other types of commercial districts, traditional markets had a minor increase in credit card sales even though the floating population fell during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fourth, the accessibility of the subway did not play a positive role in reversing the decline in social and economic vitality caused by the pandemic in the commercial district of Seoul; rather, the accessibility of private automobiles contributed to the increase in social and economic vitality. These results imply that the development and activation of commercial areas accessible by non-motorized modes in the residential neighborhood are becoming crucial in the post pandemic era.

이 논문은 북한산국립공원에서 1994년부터 실시하고 있는 자연휴식년제도의 효과를 검증하고 추후 휴식년의 적용이 필요한 구간을 파악하기 위하여 인공위성 영상자료를 이용하여 휴식년 적용구간과 그 주변 등산로의 식생활력의 변화를 분석하였다. 이용된 자료는 1988년, 1992년, 1994년, 1996년 9월의 Landsat TM 영상으로, ER Mapper 및 Arc/Info GIS를 이용하여 분석하였고, 식생활력의 측정은 중합차식생지수(NDVI)에 기반한 평균비율(MR)을 이용하였다. 분석결과 휴식년 적용구간의 경우 88년 이후 감소양상을 보이던 식생활력이 휴식년제도가 실시된 94년 이후 뚜렷하게 증가하여 휴식년제도의 실시가 식생활력을 증가시키는 효과가 있었음을 보여주었다. 기타 등산로의 경우는 92년 이후 식생활력이 정체 또는 감소추세를 나타내었으며, 그 중 일부 구간은 식생활력의 저하가 특히 두드러지게 나타나 추후 휴식년제도의 적용이 필요한 구간으로 판단되었다.

There are various methods to evaluate tree vigor. Cambial electrical resistance represents tree vigor using the method of electrophysiological diagnosis. This study investigated the vigor of several tree species using Shigometer, and compared the differences among the species. The factors, such as foliation, trunk orientation and bark temperature, which affect electrical resistance were also investigated. The needle penetration into cambium was controlled to keep the depth consistent in order to minimize measurement error. Each of three trees were selected from Zelkova serrata, Ginkgo biloba, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Pinus koraiensis, and Liriodendron tulipifera. The electrical resistances were measured at 60 and 120 cm height of the stem in 4 directions from March until May 2011. The soil conditions in surrounding areas and tree stress responses were also measured. The results were analyzed for the relationship between electrical resistance and the affecting factors. The electrical resistance showed a relatively higher level before foliation until mid-March. The values started to decline from April and recorded a minimal level on May 11. The changes of soil moisture, soil electric conductivity, and tree stress responses during the measurement period showed a similar trend to that of electrical resistance. The Pinus koraiensis, an evergreen conifer, showed few changes on the electrical resistance values during the measurement period. Zelkova serrata, Ginkgo biloba, and Metasequoia glyptostroboides showed the highest bark temperatures and lowest electrical resistances at their south-facing stem. Shigometer can provide measures simple to assess tree vigor in the fields, and to the management of trees.

This study was proposed to investigate vital signs in subjects undergoing high magnetic field (3T) MR imaging for provide basic data on causes of claustrophobia as few previous studies were conducted on this special issue. Vital signs of 104 patients were monitored before and during the clinically indicated MR examinations to identify any relationship between MR scanning and the vital signs. An increase of systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure were observed. However, they were not statistically significant(p>0.05), which meant the vital signs measured before and during the MRI scanning showed no significant change. This study is considered to be meaningful basic data for analyzing the links between vital sign fluctuations on claustrophobia during routine clinical MR examinations.
