The change in chemical compositions of leachate and medium density fiberboard (MDF) from a laboratory-scale simulated landfill which constructed in a plastic container containing alternating layers of soil and MDF was investigated to evaluate decomposing of MDF in soil. Four treatments were conducted: 1) MDF in soil, 2) MDF only, 3) cured UF resin in soil, and 4) soil only. Molecular weight (MW) distribution of compounds in leachate from soil only treatment did not change over time. In UF resin in soil treatment, the MW distribution shifted to a lower MW distribution over time, while the peak shifted to the left indicated changing to higher MW distribution in leachate from treatment 1 and 2 contained MDF. Higher percent nitrogen in leachate was observed in MDF containing treatments due to the UF resin in the MDF. The percent carbon slightly increased in MDF only while that greatly decreased in MDF in soil treatment maybe due to bacterial activity. The percent of extractable materials from the MDF decreased greatly on day 35 compare to day 0, and subsequently did not change much on day 77. In contrast, percent holocellulose and lignin did not change much over time. No structural change of the wood fiber in MDF occurs during the study. Water-soluble materials from MDF in soil contributed the change in chemical composition of leachate.

In this study, rainfall characteristics with stationary and non-stationary perspectives were analyzed using generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and Gumbel distribution models with rainfall data collected in major cities of Korea to reevaluate the return period of sewer flooding in those cities. As a result, the probable rainfall for GEV and Gumbel distribution in non-stationary state both increased with time(t), compared to the stationary probable rainfall. Considering the reliability of ${\xi}_1$, a variable reflecting the increase of storm events due to climate change, the reliability of the rainfall duration for Seoul, Daegu, and Gwangju in the GEV distribution was over 90%, indicating that the probability of rainfall increase was high. As for the Gumbel distribution, Wonju, Daegu, and Gwangju showed the higher reliability while Daejeon showed the lower reliability than the other cities. In addition, application of the maximum annual rainfall change rate (${\xi}_1{\cdot}t$) to the location parameter made possible the prediction of return period by time, therefore leading to the evaluation of design recurrence interval.

기후변화로 인한 지구온난화는 강수량과 기온에 영향을 주며, 다양한 종들의 서식지와 생물다양성에 상당한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 최근 국제 교류의 증가와 기후변화 등의 원인으로 국내로 새롭게 유입되어 정착하는 외래식물이 증가하고 있지만, 기후변화가 이들 외래식물의 국내 분포에 어떤 영향을 주는지에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 침입외래식물 큰망초(C. sumatrensis)의 현재 분포와 생물기후 변수를 활용하여 RCPs 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 적합 서식지 분포 변화를 예측하였다. 큰망초는 현재 우리나라 남부 지방에서 제한된 분포를 보이고 있으며, 이들의 분포에는 가장 건조한 분기의 평균기온(bio09), 가장 더운 달의 최고기온(bio05), 등온선(bio03)이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기후변화 시나리오에 따라 큰망초의 미래 적합 서식지 면적은 증가할 것으로 전망되었다. 큰망초와 같은 침입외래종의 분포 변화는 자생식물의 생존을 위협할 수 있으며 생태계 교란을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 기후변화에 따른 외래종 분포에 대한 연구는 자생식물뿐만 아니라 생물다양성 보전에 중요한 데이터로 활용될 수 있으며, 향후 서식지 복원과 생물자원을 관리하기 위한 정책자료로 활용될 수 있다.

We consider the problem of testing for change and estimating the unknown change-point in a sequence of time-ordered observations from the binomial and Poisson distributions. Including the likelihood ratio test, Gombay and Horvath (1990) tests are studied and the proposed change-point estimator is derived from their test statistic. A power study of tests and a comparison study of change-point estimators are done via simulation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the growth and change process of Korean cosmetic market that has grown more than three times since 2000. It also examined how the growth and decline of the cosmetics brands are related to the change of the cosmetic distribution structure. Research methodology: This study tried to classify the change of the Korean cosmetics market into four stages based on the market sales information. It analyzed the sales information of Korean cosmetic companies and the relationship with the sales of the brands by distribution channel. Results: One-brand store channel had played a leading role in the market growth, and multi-brand stores have grown and a number of brands also grew through that channel since 2013. Since 2016, multi-brand stores have continued to grow and have dominated the market beyond one-brand store channel. Conclusions: The changes in sales of domestic cosmetics companies have been classified based on the distribution channel type in four stages: the emergence of one-brand store, the growth of one-brand store channel, the growth of multi-brand store channel, and the decline of one-brand store channel. In conclusion, multi-brand store channels have recently grown in the Korean cosmetics market, and this trend is expected to continue.

This study analyzed the status of climate-change indicator plants native to the main islands of the Korean peninsula, while elucidating their distribution characteristics. Information on flora from over 129 island locations, comprising more than 100 species of native plants, was collected, compiled into a database, and utilized as raw data. The distribution of 193 climate-change indicator plants was confirmed. The distribution area of broadleaf evergreen trees and ferns, including Mallotus japonicus and Cyrtomium falcatum, was relatively wide. In contrast, the distribution of common northern plants such as Corydalis turtschaninovii and Malus baccata was limited. If global warming persists, northern plant distribution is expected to decrease rapidly in the Korean Peninsula island region, while the northern limit line of the southern plants is expected to migrate further northward. During this process, it is likely that the plant congregation structure and species diversity within the island region will change dynamically. In this study, comparative analyses between species and regions were conducted by assessing the relative frequency of their occurrence, and six types of botanical geographic distribution patterns were noted.

본 연구는 보다 정확한 소나무림의 분포현황을 이용하여 효과적으로 소나무림을 보전관리하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 기후변화에 의한 남한지역에 서식하고 있는 소나무림의 지리적 분포 변화를 예측하고 연령대별 소나무림의 공간적 분포 특성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 종 분포 변화를 예측하는데 유용한 MaxEnt 모델을 현재와 미래 시기의 기후변화 시나리오 자료에 적용하여 소나무림의 잠재적인 분포 변화를 예측하고, 연령대별 분포면적과 변화에 미치는 생물 기후 변수의 영향을 분석하였다. 소나무림의 잠재적 분포지역은 남한지역에서 10~30년생의 소나무림이 상대적으로 많이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 연령대별 소나무림에게 기후적으로 적합한 지역의 면적이 클수록 감소 지역은 커지고, 새롭게 확장되는 지역은 작아지는 경향으로 나타났다. 이는 서식 적합한 지역의 대부분이 중복되는 지역으로서 유사한 기후환경에서 소나무림의 연령대별 상호작용이 상호 촉진 관계에서 경쟁적인 관계로 변하는 데 기인할 것으로 추측된다. 기온변화보다 강수량이 소나무림의 분포에 더 큰 영향을 주고, 소나무의 지리적인 분포 변화는 평균적인 기후 특성보다 건조한 시기의 강수량 및 최고 한기의 기온과 같이 기후의 극한성에 영향을 더 받는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 최고 건기의 강수량에 의한 소나무림의 분포 변화에 대한 영향은 연령대와 상관없이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 기온 상승에 따른 수분결핍이 증가하여 결국 생장과 생리반응에 영향을 주는 가뭄과 연관된 기후환경이 조성되어 소나무림의 감소를 초래할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서 유도된 결과는 기존에 구축된 다양한 생물 자원 정보를 활용하여 기후변화에 따른 지리적인 변화를 예측하는 데 유용한 방법으로 적용될 수 있고, 자연생태계 분야에서 산림식생보전과 관련된 기후변화 적응정책 수립에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper analyzes the impact of Plug-in Electric vehicles(PEVs) on power demand and voltage change when PEVs are connected to the domestic distribution system. Specifically, it assesses PEVs charging load by charging method in accordance with PEVs penetration scenarios, its percentage of total load, and voltage range under load conditions. Concretely, we develop EMTDC modelling to perform a voltage distribution analysis when the PEVs charging system by their charging scenario was connected to the distribution system under the load condition. Furthermore we present evaluation algorithm to determine whether it is possible to adjust it such that it is in the allowed range by applying ULTC when the voltage change rate by PEVs charging scenario exceed its allowed range. Also, detailed analysis of the impact of PEVs on power distribution system was carried out by calculating existing electric power load and additional PEVs charge load by each scenario on new-town in Korea to estimate total load increases, and also by interpreting the subsequent voltage range for system circuits and demonstrating conditions for countermeasures. It was concluded that total loads including PEVs charging load on new-town distribution system in Korea by PEVs penetration scenario increase significantly, and the voltage range when considering ULTC, is allowable in terms of voltage tolerance range up to a PEVs penetration of 20% by scenario. Finally, we propose the charging capacity of PEVs that can delay the reinforcement of power distribution system while satisfying the permitted voltage change rate conditions when PEVs charging load is connected to the power distribution system by their charging penetration scenario.

For the Change-point problem in a sequence of binomial variables we consider the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of unknown change-point. Its asymptotic distribution is quite limited in the case of binomial variables with different numver of trials at each time point. Hinkley and Hinkley (1970) gives an asymptotic distribution of the MLE for a sequence of Bernoulli random variables. To find the asymptotic distribution a numerical method such as bootstrap can be used. Another concern of our interest in the inference on the change-point and we derive confidence sets based on the liklihood ratio test(LRT). We find approximate confidence sets from the bootstrap distribution and compare the two results through an example.

Background: Climate change is believed to be continuously affecting ticks by influencing their habitat suitability. However, we attempted to model the climate change-induced impacts on future genus Rhipicephalus distribution considering the major environmental factors that would influence the tick. Therefore, 50 tick occuance points were taken to model the potential distribution using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) software and 19 climatic variables, taking into account the ability for future climatic change under representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5, were used. Results: MaxEnt model performance was tested and found with the AUC value of 0.99 which indicates excellent goodness-of-fit and predictive accuracy. Current models predict increased temperatures, both in the mid and end terms together with possible changes of other climatic factors like precipitation which may lead to higher tick-borne disease risks associated with expansion of the range of the targeted tick distribution. Distribution maps were constructed for the current, 2050, and 2070 for the two greenhouse gas scenarios and the most dramatic scenario; RCP 8.5 produced the highest increase probable distribution range. Conclusions: The future potential distribution of the genus Rhipicephalus show potential expansion to the new areas due to the future climatic suitability increase. These results indicate that the genus population of the targeted tick could emerge in areas in which they are currently lacking; increased incidence of tick-borne diseases poses further risk which can affect cattle production and productivity, thereby affecting the livelihood of smallholding farmers. Therefore, it is recommended to implement climate change adaptation practices to minimize the impacts.
