Body surface potential map, an electric potential distribution on the body torso surface, enables us to infer the electrical activities of the heart. Therefore, observing electric potential projected to the torso surface can be highly useful for diagnosing heart diseases such as coronary occlusion. The BSPM for the heart of a patient show a higher level of sensitivity than 12-lead ECG. Relevant research has been mostly based on clinical statistics obtained from patients, and, therefore, a simulation for a variety of pathological phenomena of the heart is required. In this study, by using computer simulation, a body surface potential map was implemented according to various occlusion locations (distal, mid, proximal occlusion) in the left anterior descending coronary artery. Electrophysiological characteristics of the body surface during the ST segment period were observed and analyzed based on an ST isointegral map. We developed an integrated system that takes into account the cellular to organ levels, and performed simulation regarding the electrophysiological phenomena of the heart that occur during the first 5 minutes (stage 1) and 10 minutes (stage 2) after commencement of coronary occlusion. Subsequently, we calculated the bipolar angle and amplitude of the ST isointegral map, and observed the correlation between the relevant characteristics and the location of coronary occlusion. In the result, in the ventricle model during the stage 1, a wider area of ischemia led to counterclockwise rotation of the bipolar angle; and, during the stage 2, the amplitude increased when the ischemia area exceeded a certain size.

To assess the flood damages and to provide necessary information for preventing future catastrophe, it is necessary to appraise the inundated area with more accurate and rapid manner. This study attempts to evaluate the potential of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for mapping of flood inundated area in southern part of Korea. JERS L-band SAR data obtained during the summer of 1997 were used to delineate the inundated areas. In addition, Landsat TM data were also used for analyzing the land cover condition before the flooding. Once the two data sets were co-registered, each data was separately classified. The water surface areas extracted from the SAR data and the land cover map generated using the TM data were overlaid to determine the flood inundated areas. Although manual interpretation of water surfaces from the SAR image seems rather simple, the computer classification of water body requires clear understanding of radar backscattering behavior on the earth's surfaces. It was found that some surface features, such as rice fields, runaway, and tidal flat, have very similar radar backscatter to water surface. Even though satellite SAR data have a great advantage over optical remote sensor data for obtaining imagery on time and would provide valuable information to analyze flood, it should be cautious to separate the exact areas of flood inundation from the similar features.

미얀마 북서부 보피붐 크롬-광화대에 대한 지질특성, 광체산상 및 개발 잠재성을 파악하기 위하여 광화대내 약 $6km^2$ 탐사지역을 설정하여 한국지질자원연구원과 미얀마 지질조사광물탐사국이 현지 공동조사를 수행하였다. 조사지역 내 크롬광체는 주로 더나이트에 수반된 크롬철석암으로 해발 200-400 m 구간에 걸쳐 지표상에 분포하고 있는 것을 확인하였으며 지표지질 및 광상조사를 수행하여 1:1,000 축척의 정밀 지질도 및 광상분포도를 작성하였다. 지질 및 광상 조사와 병행하여 토양 지화학 탐사를 수행하였으며, 50 m 간격으로 총 114개 지점에 대한 피팅탐사를 실시하여 토양과 노두시료를 채취 분석 하였고, ICP-AES를 이용하여 Cr, Ni, Fe, Mn에 대한 지화학이상대도를 작성하였다.
