During the last years phytochemistry and phytopharmaceutical applications have developed rapidly and so there exists a high demand for faster and more efficient analysis techniques. Therefore we have established a near infrared transflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) method that allows a qualitative and quantitative determination of new polyphenolic pharmacological active leading compounds within a few seconds. As the NIR spectrometer has to be calibrated the compound of interest has at first to be characterized by using one or other a combination of chromatographic or electrophoretic separation techniques such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), gas chromatography (GC) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Both structural elucidation and quantitative analysis of the phenolic compound is possible by direct coupling of the mentioned separation methods with a mass spectrometer (GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, CE-MS, CEC-MS) and a NMR spectrometer (LC-NMR). Furthermore the compound has to be isolated (NPLC, MPLC, prep. TLC, prep. HPLC) and its structure elucidated by spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, HR-MS, NMR) and chemical synthesis. After that HPLC can be used to provide the reference data for the calibration step of the near infrared spectrometer. The NIRS calibration step is time consuming, which is compensated by short analysis times. After validation of the established NIRS method it is possible to determine the polyphenolic compound within seconds which allows to raise the efficiency in quality control and to reduce costs especially in the phytopharmaceutical industry.

A high-efficiency underwater radiation monitoring system, HydroGamma, has been developed for detecting ¹³⁷Cs and ¹³¹I in the event of waterborne radiation contamination. The system consists of a 3-inch NaI (Tl) detector, solar panels for power supply, data acquisition and transmission modules, and batteries. HydroGamma also includes a ⁴⁰K calibration source for remote performance evaluation and energy calibration. In this study, some simulations and experiments were carried out to evaluate the minimum detectable activities (MDA) of HydroGamma. We installed the HydroGamma at Tapjeongho Lake in Nonsan-si and acquired background data since MDA is calculated based on the experimental background data. The results show that the minimum detectable activities for ¹³⁷Cs and ¹³¹I were 1.78Bq L^-1 and 1.81Bq L^-1, respectively even though the gamma rays emitted from ⁴⁰K(1,460 keV) affect the minimum detectable activities for them.

수문곡선의 감수부는 기저유출의 특성을 반영하기 때문에 강우유출 모형과 기저유출분리법을 이용한 기저유출 산정과정에서 감수부의 특성을 고려해야한다. 따라서 본 연구는 감수특성을 고려하여 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT)의 보정에서 유량예측의 정확성을 높이고, 보정된 SWAT으로부터 예측된 유량으로부터 기저유출을 분리하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 RECESS으로부터 산정된 alpha factor와 11개의 다른 매개변수를 자동보정모듈에 적용한 시나리오 (S1)와 SWAT의 매개변수인 alpha factor를 포함한 12개의 매개변수를 자동보정모듈에 적용한 시나리오 (S2)에 대해 SWAT을 이용해 유량 모의를 하였다. 또한, 두 시나리오에 대해 SWAT으로 예측된 유량을 Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool (WHAT)을 적용하여 기저유출을 산정하였다. 보정 결과는 유량에 대한 두 시나리오의 Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) 값들 사이에 큰 차이는 보이지 않았으나 기저유출의 경우 S1에 대한 NSE는 0.777이고, S2의 NSE 결과는 0.844로 다소 큰 차이를 보였다. 연평균 유량의 분포의 정량적 비교를 위한 관측유량과 상대오차를 산정하였으며 S1에 대하여 20.78%, S2에 대하여 6.59%의 상대오차를 보였다. 본 연구는 모형을 이용하여 예측된 유량으로부터 기저유출을 산정하는데 있어 감수부 특성의 중요성을 보여주었다.

본 연구의 목적은 분포형 수문모형인 TOPMODEL을 이용하여 산림유역의 홍수수문곡선을 추정하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 유역면적 58.3ha의 명성유역을 선정하였으며, 대상유역에 대하여 강우량과 유출량을 측정하였다. Monte Carlo기법을 이용하여 강우사상별로 최적의 매개 변수 조합을 구하고, 매개변수별 모의기간에 대한 평균값을 적용하여 매개변수를 결정하였다. 1997년에 측정된 6개의 강우-유출량 자료를 이용하여 매개변수 보정을 실시하였으며, $1998\sim1999$년에 측정된 8개의 강우-유출량 자료를 이용하여 모형의 검증을 실시하였다. 보정기간에 대한 유출량 추정 오차는 $-2.74\sim1.81%$의 범위를 보였으며, 모형 효율(E)은 평균 0.92이었다. 6개의 강우사상에 대하여 실측된 평균 첨두유량은 $0.324m^3\;s^{-1}$이었으며, 이에 대한 추정치는 $0.295m^3\;s^{-1}$로 모의되었다. 강우 사상별 첨두유량의 오차범위는 $-27.65\sim-1.13%$로 나타났으며, 이는 강우특성 및 선행강우조건에 영향을 받은 것으로 판단된다. 검증기간에 대하여 각 강우사상별 모형효율(E)의 평균값은 0.92로 나타났다. 첨두유량의 실측값은 평균적으로 $0.087m^3\;s^{-1}$이었으며, 추정된 첨두유량의 평균은 $0.090m^3\;s^{-1}$로 나타났다. 첨두시간은 보정기간에 대하여는 관측값과 모의값의 평균이 각각 18.3 hrs와 11.0 hrs이었으며, 검증기간에 대하여는 각각 16.6hrs와 13.5 hrs이었다.

유역 단위 수문 및 수질 평가 모형인 SWAT 모형을 이용한 유역 내 정확한 수문과 비점오염원 거동을 평가하기 위해서는 유역 적용에 앞서 모형의 정확성 평가가 우선시 되어야 한다. SWAT 모형의 수문 보정및 검정 시, Nash-Sutcliffe의 효율계수(EI)가 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 EI 값은 비교되어지는 값들의 범위 중 큰 값 즉, 수문 분석에 있어 고유량에 대해 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 보다 정확한 수문 분석을 위해 K-means 군집화 알고리즘을 이용한 웹기반의 EI 평가시스템을 개발하였고, 이를 SWAT 모형의 수문 평가에 적용하였다. 본 연구의 결과 전체 유량의 EI 값은 높았지만, 수문성분에 따른 EI 값은 높지 않았다. SWAT 모형의 수문 보정 및 검정에 널리 활용되고 있는 SWAT auto-calibration tool은 전체 유량에 대해서는 높은 EI 값을 산정하는 것으로 보이지만, 직접유출과 기저유출 각각에 대한 유량 그룹 I 과 II 에 대해서는 대부분 음수(-)의 EI 값을 보였다. 그리하여 본 연구 결과를 통해 SWAT 모형의 수문성분 평가에 있어 보다 정확한 평가를 위해서는 직접유출과 기저유출에 대한 각각의 유량 그룹에 대해 양수(+)의 EI 값이 산정되도록 모형 보정 및 검정의 수행 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The maritime sector is advancing with dedicated endeavor to reduce greenhouse gas in addressing issues with regards to global warming. Since 01 January 2013, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation mandatory requirement for Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) has been in place and should be satisfied by newly-built ships of more than 400 gross tonnage and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all ships type. Therefore, compliance to this necessitates planning during the design stage whereas verification can be carried-out through an acceptable method during sea trial. The MEPC-approved 2013 guidance, ISO 15016 and ISO 19019 on EEDI serves the purpose for calculation and verification of attained EEDI value. Individual ships EEDI value should be lower than the required value set by these regulations. The key factors for EEDI verification are power and speed assessment and their synchronization. The shaft power can be measured by telemeter system using strain gage during sea trial. However, calibration of shaft power onboard condition is complicated. Hence, it relies only on proficient technology that operates within the permitted ISO allowance. On the other hand, the ship speed can be measured and calibrated by differential ground positioning system (DGPS). An actual test on a newly-built vessel was carried out to assess the correlation of power and speed. The Energy-efficiency Design Index or Operational Indicator Monitoring System (EDiMS) software developed by the Dynamics Laboratory-Mokpo Maritime University (DL-MMU) and Green Marine Equipment RIS Center (GMERC) of Mokpo Maritime University was utilized for this investigation. In addition, the software can continuously monitor air emission and is a useful tool for inventory and ship energy management plan. This paper introduces the synchronization and identification method between shaft power and ship speed for EEDI verification in accordance with the ISO guidance.

The computation of the solid angle and the detector efficiency is considering to be one of the most important factors during the measuring process for the radioactivity, especially the cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detectors nowadays have applications in several fields such as industry, hazardous for health, the gamma-ray radiation detectors grow to be the main essential instruments in radiation protection sector. In the present work, a generic numerical simulation method (NSM) for calculating the efficiency of the γ-ray spectrometry setup is established. The formulas are suitable for any type of source-to-detector shape and can be valuable to determine the full-energy peak and the total efficiencies and P/T ratio of cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector setup concerning the truncated conical radioactive source. This methodology is based on estimate the path length of γ-ray radiation inside the detector active medium, inside the source itself, and the self-attenuation correction factors, which typically use to correct the sample attenuation of the original geometry source. The calculations can be completed in general by using extra reasonable and complicate analytical and numerical techniques than the standard models; especially the effective solid angle, and the detector efficiency have to be calculated in case of the truncated conical radioactive source studied condition. Moreover, the (NSM) can be used for the straight calculations of the γ-ray detector efficiency after the computation of improvement that need in the case of γ-γ coincidence summing (CS). The (NSM) confirmation of the development created by the efficiency transfer method has been achieved by comparing the results of the measuring truncated conical radioactive source with certified nuclide activities with the γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector, and a good agreement was obtained after corrections of (CS). The methodology can be unlimited to find the theoretical efficiencies and modifications equivalent to any geometry by essential sufficiently the physical selective considered situation.

The main goal of this study is to develop a multi-metric fishway assessment model (M_m-FA) and evaluate the efficiency of fishway. The M_m-FA model has three major fishway components with nine metrics: structural characteristics, hydraulic/hydrologic features, and biological attributes. The model was developed for diagnosing and assessing fishway efficiency and tested to Juksan Weir at the Yeongsan River Watershed. Structural characteristics of fishway included slope of the fishway (M₁), ratios of fishway width to stream width (M₂), and the proportion of orifice clogging and orifice size (M₃). Hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics included depth of fishway entrance head (M₄), depth of exit tail (M₅), and current velocity of inner fishway (M₆). Biological characteristics included fish species ratio of inner fishway to upper-lower weir (M₇), fish length distribution (M₈), and the proportion of migratory fish species to the total number of species (M₉). Overall, the assessment of fishway efficiency showed the total score of the M_m-FA model was 25 in the Juksan Weir, indicating "good condition" by the criteria of the five-level classification system. The M_m-FA model may be used as a key tool for the assessment of fishway efficiency, especially on the 16 weirs constructed for the "Four Rivers Restoration Project" after a partial calibration of M_m-FA model.

Whole-body counters are widely used to assess internal contamination after a nuclear accident. However, it is difficult to determine radioiodine activity due to limitations in conventional calibration phantoms. Inhaled or ingested radioiodine is heterogeneously distributed in the human body, necessitating time-dependent biodistribution for the assessment of the internal contamination caused by the radioiodine intake. This study aims at calculating counting efficiencies considering the biodistribution of ¹³¹I in whole-body counting measurement. Monte Carlo simulations with computational human phantoms were performed to calculate the whole-body counting efficiency for a realistic radioiodine distribution after its intake. The biodistributions of ¹³¹I for different age groups were computed based on biokinetic models and applied to age- and gender-specific computational phantoms to estimate counting efficiency. After calculating the whole-body counting efficiencies, the efficiency correction factors were derived as the ratio of the counting efficiencies obtained by considering a heterogeneous biodistribution of ¹³¹I over time to those obtained using the BOMAB phantom assuming a homogeneous distribution. Based on the correction factors, the internal contamination caused by ¹³¹I can be assessed using whole-body counters. These correction factors can minimize the influence of the biodistribution of ¹³¹I in whole-body counting measurement and improve the accuracy of internal dose assessment.
