  • 도시 홍수, 하천 범람, 산사태와 같은 폭우와 관련된 재해는 자주 동시에 발생하며, 각 재해는 서로 다른 범위의 시간 스케일에서 강우 변동성에 민감하게 반응한다. 따라서 재해 복합화 모델링에 적합한 확률 강우 모델은 모든 유형의 재해와 관련된 모든 시간 스케일에서 강우 변동성을 잘 재현할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 5분에서 10년 사이의 시간 스케일에서 다양한 강우통계특성을 재현할 수 있는 추계학적 강우 생성기를 제안하였다. 이 모델은 우선 Randomized Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse (RBLRP) 모델을 사용하여 미세 규모의 강우량 시계열을 생성한 후, 연속된 폭풍 사이의 상관관계 구조가 유지되도록 폭풍우의 순서를 섞는다. 마지막으로, 별도의 월별 강우량 모델링 결과에 따라 월 단위로 시계열을 재배열한다. 독일 보훔에서 기록된 69년간의 5분 강우량 데이터를 사용하여 본 모형을 검증한 결과, 평균, 분산, 공분산, 왜곡도 및 강우 간헐성은 5분에서 10년에 이르는 시간 스케일에서 체계적인 편향 없이 잘 재현됨은 물론, 5분에서 3일 사이의 시간 스케일에서의 극한 강수량 값도 잘 재현음을 확인하였다. 아울러, 극한 강우 및 산사태에 큰 영향을 주는 극한 강우 발생 전 과거 7일간의 강수량도 정확히 재현되었다.

  • 수자원설계 및 계획 시 제한된 강우자료로 인해 나타나는 한계를 개선하기 위한 목적으로 추계학적 강수모의 모형을 활용한다. 대표적인 추계학적 강수모형으로 Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse Modified Model(BLPRM)과 Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model(NSRPM) 등이 활용되고 있으며, 관측강수량의 통계적 모멘트를 재현할 수 있도록 모형 매개변수를 최적화하는 과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 기본적으로 모형 매개변수들의 조합을 통해 추정되는 통계적 모멘트와 관측값의 통계적 모멘트를 반복적으로 비교하면서 최적 매개변수를 추정하게 된다. 그러나 상대적으로 적은 관측값을 이용하여 매개변수를 추정하기 때문에, 매개변수 추정이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 매개변수의 불확실성도 큰 특징을 가지고 있다. 모형 매개변수 추정과정에서 다양한 목적함수가 활용되고 있으나, 고려되는 통계적 모멘트가 평균 및 분산 등 2차 모멘트에 제한되고 있어 극치강수량에 대한 재현성은 상대적으로 부족한 부분이 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차 모멘트를 포함한 목적함수를 활용하여 NSRP모형 매개변수를 추정하고, 기존 2차 모멘트를 이용한 매개변수 접근방법과 극치강수량 재현 측면에서 비교를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 유역 단위에서 극치강수량 재현효과를 평가하기 위해서는 면적강수량 추정이 매우 중요하며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 감안하여 강우 지점 간의 상관성을 유지하면서 강우모의가 가능한 다지점 NSRP 모형과 연계하여 극치강우 재현 가능성을 평가하였다.

  • The coordination and control of construction projects is vital if a project is to be a success. Almost all analysis has shown that these can only be achieved if good quality communication can be maintained on a construction site. This research focuses on the role that tablet computers could play in enhancing this communication. The following points are investigated in this paper: (a) Whether a tablet computer can enable users to monitor project progress more efficiently than traditional methods, (b) How the tablet computer fits within the project management iron triangle in construction, (c) The two different psychological impacts of information transmission for the end user using a tablet computer (i) The expectancy to transmit information frequently and rapidly from tablet computer users to project members whilst working onsite (ii) The mode of information transmission to the cognition of the transmitted information to the tablet computer. Through the use of structured interviews and questionnaires, the opinions of individuals within various disciplines in construction were canvassed. The approach adopted in this paper deals with understanding both the soft and hard issues for deploying such a system. This research enabled the authors to develop a base framework incorporating the key factors which are relevant for implementing a tablet computer based on information flows primarily.

  • Stoltz's AQP is a tool to estimate the level of adversity. The purpose of study is to test the reliability and validity of AQP. The participants were 297 nurses of tertiary hospital in Korea. Data were collected from Aug. to Oct. 2013. Resilience Scale was used as criterion of AQP. Cronbach's alpha test, item total correlation, exploratory factor, correlation analysis, and ANOVA test were used. In result, factor analysis was accounted for four factors explaining 56.256% of total variance and corresponding factors were factor 1 (Control, 10.7%), factor 2 (Ownership, 13.7%), factor 3(Reach, 17.4%), factor 4 (Endurance, 14.9%). The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha=.84). Four factors were positively correlated with RS. AQP is a reliable and valid instrument to measure for adversity quotient in Korean nurse.

  • C. neoformans-associated cryptococcosis is primarily a disease of immunocompromised persons, has a world-wide distribution, and is often spread by pigeons in the urban environment. In contrast, C. gattii causes infection in normal hosts, has only been described in tropical and semi-tropical areas of the world, and has a unique niche in river gum Eucalyptus trees. Cryptococcosis is acquired through inhalation of the yeast propagules from the environment. C. gattii has been identified as the cause of an emerging infectious disease centered on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. No cases of C. gattii-disease were diagnosed prior to 1999; the current incidence rate is 36 cases per million population. A search was initiated in 2001 to find the ecological niche of this basidiomycetous yeast. C. gattii was found in the environment in treed areas of Vancouver Island. The highest percentage of colonized-tree clusters were found around central Vancouver Island, with decreasing rates of colonization to the north and south. Climate, soil and vegetation cover of this area, called the Coastal Douglas fir biogeoclimatic zone, is unique to British Columbia and Canada. The concentration of airborne C. gattii was highest in the dry summer months, and lowest during late fall, winter, and early spring, months which have heavy rainfall. The study of the emerging colonization of this organism and subsequent cases of environmentally acquired disease will be informative in planning public health management of new routes of exposure to exotic agents in areas impacted by changing climate and land use patterns.

  • Background: The assessment tool developed in other countries should be translated into Korean language using rigorous methodological approaches in order to be used in Korea. Because these procedures are insufficient for establishing the cross-cultural and linguistic equivalence, the need for statistical methods is raised. The Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale was translated into Korean and the content validity was verified through the back translation method, but the reliability and validity have not yet been proven by statistical methods. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale (KFAB) by statistical methods in elderly people. Methods: A total of 97 elderly adults (39 males and 58 females) participated in this study. Internal consistency of the KFAB was measured using Cronbach's alpha and an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess test-retest reliability between the two measurement sessions. Concurrent validity was measured by comparing the KFAB responses with the Korean version of the Berg Balance Scale (KBBS) using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Construct validity of the KFAB was measured using the exploratory factor analysis to evaluate the unidimensionality of the questionnaire. The significance level was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: The internal consistency of the KFAB was found be adequate with Cronbach's alpha (.96), and test-retest reliability was excellent as evidenced by the high ICC (r=.996). Concurrent validity showed high correlation between the KFAB and KBBS (r=.89, p<.001). Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis. The result from Bartlett test of sphericity was statistically significant (p<.001), and the value of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was .93. Exploratory factor analysis revealed the existence of only one dominant factor that explained 76.43% of the variance. Conclusion: The KFAB is a reliable, valid and appropriate tool for measuring the balance functions in elderly people.

  • The technology transfers from public institutions have positioned themselves as knowledge conduits for stimulating firms' capabilities under 'catching-up' economy paradigm. While this view is still relevant, the policy for public technology needs to be extended to a more marketoriented way. This study explores how public technology affects the financial performance of demanding companies by comparing the revenues and profits of 'technology commercialised group (TC)' and 'in-house research group (InR)'. The estimation results by hierarchy regression suggest that the size and the patents of TC firms have a more influential impact than InR group, although the ratio of maintaining research staff was reported an inverse relation. The contribution to the operating profit seems to be indifferent between the groups. The positive impact of public technology over the firm's performance is highly related to the technology commercialisation capability, signalling that the aim of technology transfer needs to gear toward the enhancement of commercialising capabilities rather than the promotion of technology transactions.
