Debris flow has been considered as one of the major natural hazards and possesses tens to hundreds times higher destructive potential than that of slope failure. In the past 5 years, its occurrence frequency was and is likely to increasing due to the global warming. Although various methods such as basin vegetation or structural dams can be implemented to counter measure the debris flow, these methods are not always the right answer to the problem when magnitude of debris flow is far bigger than could be defended. Land use regulations to avoid the hazard or early debris flow warning system to evacuate the expected inundated area can be more economical and practical actions for those cases. In this study, an early debris flow warning system composed of rainfall measuring device, debris flow sensing device and video camera is introduced. The system is designed to issue the warning when rainfall threshold is exceeded or debris flow is sensed by sensing device. Developed monitoring system can be used to cope promptly with the debris flow risk.

Taste and odor (T&O) problems in drinking water supplies caused by eutrophication have become increasingly important because aesthetic qualities are the primary measures by which consumers estimate the quality of their drinking water. In order to overcome T&O problem, it is necessary to early detection method for T&O compounds before these compounds enter to water treatment plant. In this background, a early waming device for T&O compounds was developed and its performance tested under different operating condition. According to the experimental results on the adsorption efficiency of T&O compounds, when the raw water flowrate was 5 mL/min, the optimum stripping time and air flowrate were 5 hrs and 0.5 L/min, respectively. Comparison of activated carbon showed that foreign activated carbon was better than domestic activated carbon in terms of adsorption efficiency.

In case that limited resources can be mobilized, non-structural countermeasures such as 'monitoring using Information and Communication Technology might be one of solutions to mitigate disaster risks. Having established the monitoring system, operational and maintenance costs to maximize the effectiveness might trouble the authority concerned or duty attendant who is in charge. In this respect, "Guerrilla Sensor" would be very cost effective because of the inherent mobility characteristic. The sensor device with the IRIS camera and GPS (Global Positioning System) equipped, is basically battery-operated and communicates with WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). It has a strong advantage of capabilities for 'Disaster Response' with immediate and prompt action on the spot, making the best use of IoT (Internet of Things), especially with the mobile web. This paper will explain how the sensor system works in real-time GIS (Geographic Information System) pinpointing the exact location of the abnormal movement/ground displacement and notifying the registered users via SMS (Short Message Service). Real time monitoring with early warning and evaluation of current situations with LBS (Location Based Service), live image and data information can help to reduce the disaster impact. Installation of Guerrilla sensor for a real site application at Gimcheon, South Korea is also reported.

The ecotoxicity detection device for preliminary test (Test jig) was manufactured to develop the biological early warning system using Vibrio fischeri. In this study, the ecotoxicity detection charateristics of the Test jig was investigated for 6 heavy metals (Cr, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu and Hg). It was observed that relative luminescence unit (RLU) of Vibrio fischeri constantly decreased by the concentrations of the tested heavy metals. In contrast with other heavy metals, RLUs of Pb and Hg constantly decreased even at low concentrations. RLU of Hg drastically decreased when its concentration increased from 0.13 mg/L to 0.25 mg/L. $EC_{50}$ values of Cr, Zn, Pb and Cd gradually decreased with exposure time, whereas there was no significant change in $EC_{50}$ values of Cu and Hg with time. On the other hand, $EC_{50}$ values between the Test jig and Reference device were compared to evaluate the ecotoxicity detection performance of the Test jig. No big difference was found in $EC_{50}$ vlaues between the two devices, indicating that the Test jig could be applied as the ecotoxicity detection device for heavy metals.

This paper is the study on the Medium Designator in Non-book materials. Main contents of this study were as follows; 1. The medium designator serves to indicate the class of material to which an item belongs. This is used to give an 'early warning' ;to the catalogue user. 2. This medium designator may be further divided into two elements ; a general material designation (GMD), for example video-recording, and a specific material designation (SMD), for example, videodisc. 3. GMD: In cataloging, a term indicating the broad class of material to which a bibliographic item belongs, such as 'motion picture', and SMD : In descriptive cataloging, a term indicating the special class of material (usually the class of physical object) to which a biblographic item belongs, such as videocassette. 4. Locating the medium designator after the title proper was not prescribed until ISBD(G) and AACR2. In pre-ISBD(G) codes, the ,early, warning type of medium designator was placed after all title information. But in AACR2, the medium designator is placed after the title proper, but before parellel title and other title information. 5. In Terminology, Two separate lists of designations are given in AACR2, l.1C1, one for British and one for North American use. The British list contains fewer terms, and uses generic categories to group together some of the North American list. 6. The problem of where to place the medium designator might be circumvented by using some kind of early alerting device other than a formal element of biblliographic description. Various alternatives have been suggested. A more popular device is the provision of symbols or 'media code' which are part of the call number and indicate the porticular medium type. 'Colour-coding' the use of used by some libraries but is now longly discouraged. 7. According to Frost. The medium designatorhas been generally reeognized as serving three functions; 1) as a statement of the nature or basic format of the item cataloged and thus as a meant of informing the user as to the type of material at hand; 2) as a description of the physical charaetistics of medium and as a means of alerting the user to equipment needed to make use of the item. 3) as a device to distinguish different physical formats which share the same title. 8. AACR2 raises some problems which decision makers have neet had to face preriously It provides a GMD for every item in the collection including books and it makes the application of any or all GMD's optional.

Purpose: Vital sign are used to help assess the general physical health of a person, give clues to possible diseases, and show progress toward recovery. Researchers are using vital sign data and AI(artificial intelligence) to manage a variety of diseases and predict mortality. In order to analyze vital sign data using AI, it is important to select and extract vital sign data suitable for research purposes. Methods: We developed a method to visualize vital sign and early warning scores by processing retrospective vital sign data collected from EMR(electronic medical records) and patient monitoring devices. The vital sign data used for development were obtained using the open EMR big data MIMIC-III and the wearable patient monitoring device(CareTaker). Data processing and visualization were developed using Python. We used the development results with machine learning to process the prediction of mortality in ICU patients. Results: We calculated NEWS(National Early Warning Score) to understand the patient's condition. Vital sign data with different measurement times and frequencies were sampled at equal time intervals, and missing data were interpolated to reconstruct data. The normal and abnormal states of vital sign were visualized as color-coded graphs. Mortality prediction result with processed data and machine learning was AUC of 0.892. Conclusion: This visualization method will help researchers to easily understand a patient's vital sign status over time and extract the necessary data.

The emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM), reality data, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) has significantly enhanced the collaboration between stakeholders in construction management. The utilization of VR/AR devices holds considerable potential for monitoring safety in complex and constrained working environments on the construction site. On the other hand, near-miss incidents remain an important early sign of struck-by accidents. However, research on early warning and prevention methods for this risk is still limited. This paper, therefore, presents a framework for on-site and off-site collaborative safety monitoring framework using augmented and virtual reality for near-miss incidents. In the proposed framework, three phases to develop a VR/AR-based safety monitoring system include (1) construction safety simulation environment, (2) localization-based interaction system, and (3) safety monitoring system. The system can undertake the processing of data and enables communication among disparate VR/AR devices. VR clients are observational tools and offer guidance, while the AR client stays onsite for construction tasks. All clients connect to a processing computer, which also works as a host. The system embedded in the AR device can trigger an alarm or receive signals from the VR client when a near-miss issue happens. Additionally, all device clients possess the capability to share data acquired from onsite monitoring cameras, thereby fostering effective discussions and decision-making. The efficacy of this cross-platform system has been validated through the implementation of an outdoor coordination case study.
