수자원위성은 C-band 영상레이더(synthetic aperture radar, SAR)를 탑재한 중형급의 수자원 관리 및 수재해 감시 전용 위성이다. 수자원위성은 물 환경과 관련된 다양한 분야에 활용되어 고부가가치의 정보를 제공할 것으로 예상되는데, 특히 시계열 레이더 간섭기법(SAR interferometry, InSAR)의 적용을 통해 댐·보와 같은 수자원시설물의 미세변위 탐지 및 안정성 평가에 효과적으로 사용될 것으로 기대된다. 시계열 영상레이더 간섭기법은 고정산란체를 이용하는 Persistent Scatterer InSAR(PSInSAR) 기법과 분산산란체 기반의 Small BAseline Subset(SBAS) InSAR 기법으로 대표된다. 이 연구에서는 수자원위성에 적합한 수리시설물 시계열 변위 모니터링 알고리즘 개발을 목적으로, Sentinel-1 위성의 C-band SAR 기반 시계열 레이더 간섭기법의 적용성을 평가하고 알고리즘 개발에 고려해야 할 사항들을 분석하였다. 2020년 여름 수재해가 발생한 섬진강댐과 담양댐 및 수변부를 테스트 사이트로 선정하고, 2019년부터 2021년까지의 Sentinel-1 시계열 SAR 영상에 PSInSAR와 SBAS InSAR를 적용하여 시계열 변위를 관측하였다. 댐체에서는 PSInSAR가 SBAS InSAR에 비해 신뢰할 수 있는 시계열 변위를 산출하였다. 그러나 시계열 분석 기간이 길어짐에 따라 PSInSAR 시계열 변위의 정밀도가 낮아지는 경향이 관측되었다. 수변부에서 PSInSAR는 변위 정보를 거의 제공하지 못했다. SBAS InSAR는 수변부의 시계열 변위 모니터링에 효과적이었으나, 여름철 장마 등으로 인해 레이더 간섭도의 긴밀도(coherence)가 낮아질 경우 부정확한 변위를 산출하였다. 앞으로 국내의 다양한 수자원시설물을 대상으로 Sentinel-1 위성을 이용한 시계열 변위 모니터링 알고리즘의 적용성 평가 연구가 진행될 예정이며, 연구 결과를 수자원위성의 관측 특성에 적합한 변위 탐지 알고리즘의 개발에 활용하고자 한다.

1970년대부터 집중 건설 된 우리나라의 다목적댐, 홍수조절댐, 용수전용댐 등의 대형 국가 수자원시설물들의 '고령화'가 급속히 진행되어 수리구조물에 대한 안정성을 주기적으로 파악할 수 있는 정밀안전모니터링 체계 구축이 시급한 시점이다. 주기적인 정밀안전모니터링 방법들 중에는 위성 등을 활용한 원격관측 기술들이 최근 시도되고 있다. 위성 영상레이더(SAR; Synthetic Aperture Radar)는 마이크로파 대역의 전자기파를 송·수신하는 능동센서로 날씨 및 주·야간에 영향을 받지 않고 지표면 관측이 가능한 장점이 있다. 특히, 고정산란체 영상레이더 간섭(PSInSAR; Permanent Scatterer Interferometry SAR)기법은 영상레이더 영상에서 긴밀도(coherence)가 상대적으로 높은 수자원시설물과 같은 고정산란체의 위상(phase) 정보를 이용하여 mm급의 측정민감도로 시계열 변위 분석이 가능하다. 또한, 여러 장의 InSAR 영상을 생성하였기 때문에 DEM 오차, 위성궤도 오차, 대기 성분에 의한 지연 오차 등을 보다 정밀하게 제거할 수 있는 장점이 있다 본 연구에서는 국내 중대형 수자원시설물의 정밀안전모니터링을 위하여 고정산란체 영상레이더 간섭 기법을 영암금호방조제, 영주댐, 소양강댐 등에 적용하여 시계열 변위 분석을 수행하였다. 2014년 11월부터 2022년 3월(현재)까지 획득된 Sentinel-1 SLC(Single Look Complex) 위성자료의 상승(Ascending) 궤도 126장 및 하강(Descending)궤도 187장을 각각 활용하였다. 두 위성궤도를 모두 활용하여 수직, 수평 변위 등 3차원 분석을 수행하였으며, 특히 소양강댐 GPS 관측 자료와 정확도 검증에서 연평균 2mm의 RMSE를 보였다. 이를 통해 위성 원격탐사 기술로도 댐, 보, 방조제와 같은 수자원시설물에 대한 시계열 변위 분석을 통한 댐 안전관리가 가능함을 보여주고 있다. 2025년 발사될 국내 C-밴드 SAR 탑재 수자원위성 개발을 통해 한반도 재방문주기를 단축시킴으로써, 한반도 전역의 수자원시설물 정밀안전진단체계 구축이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose : A numerical method of designing a multiple quantum filter (MQF) is presented for the optimum detection of myo-inositol (mI), an important brain metabolite, by using in vivo proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^1$-HMRS). Materials and Methods : Starting from the characterization of the metabolite, the filter design includes the optimization of the sequence parameters such as the two echo times (TEs), the mixing time (TM), and the flip angle and offset frequency of the 3rd $90^{\circ}$ pulse which converts multiple quantum coherences (MQCs) back into single quantum coherences (SQCs). The optimized filter was then tested both in phantom and in human brains. Results : The results demonstrate that the proposed MQF can improve the signal-to-background ratio of the target metabolite by a factor of more than three by effectively suppressing the signal from the background metabolites. Conclusion : By incorporating a numerical method into the design of MQFs in $^1$-HMRS the spectral integrity of a target metabolite, in particular, with a complicated spin system can be substantially enhanced.

Variability of sea levels at Mukho and Ullungdo and sea level difference(SLD) associated with current is investigated. Time series of adjusted sea levels at both places have very similar pattern of change. Two components appear to contribute to the correlation between sea level and SLD. Low frequency thermosteric effect causes the sea level to rise and fall at the same time. Geostrophic effect of major currents is responsible for the sea level change in opposite ways at both sides. Two contributions have a cancelling effect for sea level change at Mukho while they are additive at Ullungdo. Characteristics of time series in frequency domain are divided into two parts with respect to 0.01 cycles per day(cpd). At Mukho, the cancelling effect yields small values of coherence for low-frequency bands whereas the dominant geostrophic influence may be responsible for the phase relations of about $\pm 180^{\circ}$ between sea level and SLD at higher frequency. Bimonthly dynamic height difference(DHD) between Mukho and Ullungdo is very significantly correlated with SLD. This result suggests that DHD thus the average velocity of current through the Mukho-Ullungdo section can successfully be diagnosed by the sea level records at both locations. For the annual variations, maximum SLD occurs at Mukho-Ullungdo section about 40 days later than the Korea Strait.

In this paper, we propose speech enhancement algorithm as a pre-processing for robust speech recognition in noisy environments. Auxiliary-function-based Independent Vector Analysis (AuxIVA) is performed with weighted covariance matrix using time-varying variances with scaling factor from target masks representing time-frequency contributions of target speech. The mask estimates can be obtained using Neural Network (NN) pre-trained for speech extraction or diffuseness using Coherence-to-Diffuse power Ratio (CDR) to find the direct sounds component of a target speech. In addition, outputs for omni-directional noise are closely chained by sharing the time-varying variances similarly to independent subspace analysis or IVA. The speech extraction method based on AuxIVA is also performed in Independent Low-Rank Matrix Analysis (ILRMA) framework by extending the Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) for noise outputs to Non-negative Tensor Factorization (NTF) to maintain the inter-channel dependency in noise output channels. Experimental results on the CHiME-4 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented algorithms.

In this study, daily data from January 2002 to June 2022 were used to investigate the relationship between risk-return relationship and market fear, uncertainty, stock market, and maritime freight index for the crude oil market. For this study, the time varying EGARCH-M model was applied to the risk-return relationship, and the wavelet consistency model was used to analyze the relationship between market fear, uncertainty, stock market, and maritime freight index. The analysis results of this study are as follows. First, according to the results of the time-varying risk-return relationship, the crude oil market was found to be related to high returns and high risks. Second, the results of correlation and Granger causality test, it was found that there was a weak correlation between the risk-return relationship and VIX, EPU, S&P500, and BDI. In addition, it was found that there was no two-way causal relationship in the risk-return relationship with EPU and S&P500, but VIX and BDI were found to affect the risk-return relationship. Third, looking at the results of wavelet coherence, it was found that the degree of the risk-return relationship and the relationship between VIX, EPU, S&P500, and BDI was time-varying. In particular, it was found that the relationship between each other was high before and after the crisis period (financial crisis, COVID-19). And it was found to be highly associated with organs. In addition, the risk-return relationship was found to have a positive relationship with VIX and EPU, and a negative relationship with S&P500 and BDI. Therefore, market participants should be well aware of economic environmental changes when making decisions.

The Resilience is described as the personal capacity which brings psychosocial comeback. The role of nursing is to do its best to rehabilitate patients and to explore the individual in order to promote patients psychosocial change. However, as the current nursing is heavily physical nursing oriented, the identity of the nursing would be lost. Therefore this researcher reviewed if the concept of resilience can be applied to the nursing after examing the concept of resilience by Documents and Fieldwork. The methodology of this research is Hybrid Model developed by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim for the concept development and analysis. The process and procedure consist of The Theoretical Phase, The Fieldwork Phase and The Final Analytical Phase in accodance with the Hybrid Model. The followings the summary of the Research. 1. The Concept of Resilience Finally Analyzed by Documents and Fieldwork (1) The Redefinition of Resilience The resilience is the latent psychosocial capacity which minimize the negative emotion and promote the adaptation under adversity. Resilience appears as cognitive, emotional and behavioral response in the course of changing from negative response to positive response through the interaction of the individual and the enviroments in a given time. Resilience changes and decreases according to time and situation and it can be nurtured. Resilience is the higher concept including hardiness, sense of coherence and self-strength which maintain the health under stress. (2) The Attribute of Resilience The attribute of resilience was devided into psychological and social dimension. In psychological attributes, there are admittion of reality of situation, denial of negative emotion, desire to live, responsibility, confidence, courage, hope, pursuit of positive meaning, identification and pursuit of goal, self-esteem, reception, spontaneity, planning, positiveness, will power, flexibility and creativity. In social attributes, there are a sense of belonging, perception of social support and active social relations. (3) The Process of Resilience There are 4 resilience phases which were the process minimizing the possibility of the negative chain reactions under adversity, the process minimizing the negative emotion under adversity, the process gaining the desire to live and the process exposing the active social relations. 2. The Application Possibility of Resilience Concept to Nursing The resilience concept is the psychosocial capacity with which an individual manages adversity. As many nursing scientists have developed nursing theory based on this capacity and the identification of nursing has been established in this field, resilience is not the new conception in nursing. However, since resilience appears in the attributes related with the resilience process concretely, it would help a lot when nurses execute psychosocial nursing.

In this paper, we present a real-time hand pose recognition method to provide an intuitive user interface through hand poses or movements without a keyboard and a mouse. For this, the areas of right and left hands are segmented from the depth camera image, and noise removal is performed. Then, the rotation angle and the centroid point of each hand area are calculated. Subsequently, a circle is expanded at regular intervals from a centroid point of the hand to detect joint points and end points of the finger by obtaining the midway points of the hand boundary crossing. Lastly, the matching between the hand information calculated previously and the hand model of previous frame is performed, and the hand model is recognized to update the hand model for the next frame. This method enables users to predict the hidden fingers through the hand model information of the previous frame using temporal coherence in consecutive frames. As a result of the experiment on various hand poses with the hidden fingers using both hands, the accuracy showed over 95% and the performance indicated over 32 fps. The proposed method can be used as a contactless input interface in presentation, advertisement, education, and game applications.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between axial length (AL) and anthropometric parameters in Korean children. Methods: This study included 40 urban school children aged 11-12 years (mean age, $11.95{\pm}0.22$ years; 45.0% girls) residing in Seoul, South Korea. AL (using partial coherence laser interferometry), corneal radius, refractive error, height (m), and weight (kg) were measured. Body mass index (BMI $[kg/m^2]=weight/[height]^2$) and degree of obesity (DO[%]=[actual weight standard weight]/standard weight) were calculated. Furthermore, the number of hours spent reading, watching television, and using a computer every day was determined using a detailed questionnaire. Results: The students had a mean spherical equivalent refraction of $1.06{\pm}0.84$ D. Weight (r=0.427, p=0.006), BMI (r=0.508, p=0.001), and DO (r=0.371, p=0.018) showed a significant positive correlation with AL. Furthermore, longer AL was significantly associated with heavier weight (p=0.041), and higher BMI (p=0.015), and higher DO quartiles (p=0.042). After adjust for age, sex, and near-work activities, multivariate linear regression models showed that weight, BMI, and DO were still significantly associated with AL. Among the near-work activities, daily reading time was significantly associated with AL. Conclusions: AL was positively related to weight as well as daily reading time in Korean urban school children.

We present the double resonance optical pumping(DROP) spectra in the transition 5P$_{3}$2/-4D$_{3}$2/ and 5P$_{3}$2/-4D$_{5}$ 2/ of ($^{87}$ Rb) and the frequency stabilization in the $1.5mutextrm{m}$ region using those spectra. Those spectra have high signal-to-noise ratio and narrow spectral linewidth, which is about 10 MHz. We could account fur the relative intensities of the hyperfine states of those spectra by the spontaneous emission into the other state. When the frequency of the $1.5mutextrm{m}$ laser diode was stabilized to the DROP spectrum, the frequency fluctuation was about 0.2 MHz fDr sampling time of 0.1 s and the Allan deviation(or the square root of the Allan variance) was about 1${\times}$10$^{-11}$ for averaging time of l00s.
