본 연구는 MODIS에서 제공하는 클로로필 정보를 기반으로 하여 2단계 필터링을 통해 우리나라 동해, 남해 연안에 대규모로 발생했던 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조를 탐지하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 일반적인 적조 탐지 연구들은 클로로필과 적조 발생의 상관성을 이용하여 클로로필의 농도가 높은 해역을 적조 발생 해역으로 탐지한다. 하지만 이 방법의 문제점은 적조가 발생하지 않은 해역을 적조 발생 해역으로 탐지함으로써 commission error를 발생시킨다는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 MODIS에서 제공하는 클로로필 정보를 바탕으로 적조 발생 해역을 추출하고, 2단계 필터링 과정을 적용함으로써 진해, 여수, 남해도 부근 해역에서 발생한 commission error를 제거할 수 있었으며, 그 결과를 국립수산과학원의 적조속보자료와 함께 시각적 평가하여 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘의 효용성을 검증하였다. 향후 정량적인 평가를 위해 F-measure, JC(Jaccard coefficient), YC(Yule coefficient), 전체정확도를 탐지정확도 측정치로써 도입하여 정확도평가를 수행할 예정이다.

Purpose:From a societal perspective, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a novel sustained-release injection of recombinant human growth hormone (GH) administered on a weekly basis compared with that of the present daily GH injection for the treatment of children with GH deficiency. Methods:Health-related utility for GH therapy was measured based on the visual analogue scale. During July 2008, caregivers of 149 children receiving GH therapy form 2 study sites participated in a web-based questionnaire survey. The survey required the caregivers to rate their current subjective utility with daily GH injections or expected utility of weekly GH injections. Because there was no difference in the costs of the daily and weekly therapies, for the purposes of this study, only drug acquisition costs were considered. Results:Switching from daily to weekly injection of GH increased the utility from 0.584 to 0.784 and incurred an extra cost of 4,060,811 Korean won (KW) per year. The incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) for a base case was 20,305,055 KW per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Scenario analyses showed that the ICUR ranged from 15,751,198 to 25,489,929 KW per QALY. Conclusion:The ICUR for a base case and worst case scenario analyses ranged from 0.85 to 1.37-times per capita gross domestic product of Korea, which is considered to be within the generally accepted willingness-to-pay threshold. Thus, it is concluded that switching from daily to weekly injection of GH would be cost-effective.

It is a fundamental element of the nuclear power plant operation to assess exactly the occupational radiation exposure. And, according to recently published ICRP 60 recommendation, it is needed to reduce individual radiaton exposure limit further. In this paper, an optimization techique was suggested for selection of alternatives for reducing occupational radiation exposure, and used in reviewing alternatives given by a plant utility. After the basic analysis, sensitivity analysis was performed to consider the variabilities of the economic variables. From the result, it was found that an option using steam generator nozzle dam and torquing machine was the best with respect to total benefits, and in case of multi-attribute utility analysis, an option using Co-No seal had the highest utility. Therefore, it was necessary to apply more than one technique togeter in optimization study and to consider qualitative factor, too.

During the 1990s, policy was put in place to create resting spaces in rural areas. This policy was associated with a government project to improve the rural residence environment and it attracted attention to outdoor spaces in rural areas. Many communities have gradually disappeared in rural areas but previous studies suggested that legally protected trees might provide resting and cultural spaces in a given rural community. The rural residential environment can be improved by legally protected trees and by doing so, these resources may then help to sustain many rural communities. Therefore, the creation of resting spaces or mini-parks created around trees that are protected by in rural communities should be considered. The value of trees that are protected by law can differ depending on the status of the trees or the surroundings. Nevertheless, there has not been systemic research regarding legally-protected trees in terms of rural communities. This study aims at evaluating the potential of these trees and at analyzing how these trees can be useful in the creation of community spaces in rural areas. The findings can be helpful in providing foundation data for creating these types of community spaces. Forty legally protected trees in Gimchon City were selected for this study. Nine items were used to evaluate the potential of the trees for creating community spaces. These items could be classified into five factors including accessibility, relation to public facilities, environment and safety, symbolism, and ease for creating community spaces. The potential of the legally protected trees was evaluated by 5-point Likert Scales in a given item. The overall potential was evaluated by the sum of individual item scores. Specifically, trees with over 20 points (max. 25 points) could be considered high potential. According to the empirical findings, the portion of legally protected trees with high potential is five percent (No.7 and No.12 trees). Therefore, the priority is to protect or use the trees for the creation of community spaces that can help make a better residential environment for rural communities.

In this study, we conducted an FDS numerical simulation for the purpose of carrying out a basic assessment of the usefulness of the water spray for fire extinguishing. We analyzed the effect of securing the stability in temperature and smoke density in case of fire according to fire intensities (20MW, 50MW) and changes in wind speed. When there was no wind speed in tunnels, it was effective in securing the safety of people because the cooling effect of the water spray system had an excellent effect on reducing temperatures and smoke densities there. The higher a fire intensity is, the less effect it has on reducing smoke flows. When an air current exists in tunnels, its cooling effect disturbs the smoke stratification and lowers the visibility degree during evacuation. Therefore, the water spray for fire extinguishing should be put into action only after people take shelter during fire.

Programming is an area that many students have difficulty on because it requires various skills, such as problem analysis, logical thinking, and procedural problem-solving skills. In this paper, a system visualizing algorithm was used to set up algorithmic concepts easily and effectiveness of the system was analyzed through scholastic achievement test and survey after learning through this process. For evaluation, we divided students who take courses on programming language and algorithm in 3 universities into 2 groups with 6 teams in each group. The group that trained this system visualizing algorithm had scored 17.4 points higher in terms of scholastic achievement than the group that did not train such method. Moreover, according to the survey, the group had higher scores in terms of interest level, concentration level, comprehension, effectiveness, and convenience.

In Korean military measuring systems interoperability is based on LISI (Level of Information System Interoperability) model at the requirement generation and acquisition process. However, LISI model cannot be used for interoperability measurement of system of systems (SoS) because LISI model is focused on interoperability measurement of a given system or system pair. Also, LISI model cannot provide quantitative information for interoperability decision because of qualitative rather than quantitative approach. This paper proposes a quantitative interoperability measurement methodology of SoS. At the proposed methodology, mission threads and supporting systems are identified using architecture approach, and Interoperability of SoS is measured with systems multiplicity and resemblance coefficient. Finally, a case study is presented to show the usefulness of the methodology.

가뭄강도와 지속기간을 고려하여 관개구역을 몇 개의 관개블록으로 나누어 순차적으로 제한하여 급수함으로써 관개용수를 절약하고 관개기간을 연장하여 가뭄을 극복하는 윤환관개모형 (RISS)을 제안한 바 있다. 이 RISS는 작물생육기별 관개저수지 저수율별 급수구역과 제한 급수율을 제시함으로써 가뭄기간에 저수지 운영자가 언제, 얼마나 제한하여 급수할 것인지 제시해주는 모형으로 전북 남원군 동화댐의 물 관리시스템 자동화 프로그램에 2004년 설치하여 운용되도록 하였다. 이 연구에서는 2004년부터 2009년까지 동화 댐 저수위 관측기록과 급수실적을 분석하여 RISS의 절수효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 그러나 실제로는 동화댐의 물 관리시스템 자동화 프로그램이 계획대로 운용되지 않고 있었다. 따라서 이 RISS의 절수효과와 효용성을 입증하여 계획대로 자동화시스템을 유용하게 활용하도록 하기 위해서 급수실적 및 저수위 관측기록과 RISS로 모의 발생한 저수위 결과를 비교 평가하였다. 모의발생 평가결과 가뭄이 극심했던 2007년에는 3.8백만 $m^3$을 절수하여 관개기간을 23일 연장하고 2009년에는 3.3백만 $m^3$을 절수하여 관개기간을 13일 연장하여 가뭄이 극심한 해에는 RISS 모형의 효용성이 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
