Forest degradation reduces ecosystem services provided by forest and could lead to change in composition of species. In North Korea, there has been significant forest degradation due to conversion of forest into terrace fields for food production and cut-down of forest for fuel woods. This study analyzed the phenological changes in North Korea, in terms of vegetation and moisture in soil and vegetation, from March to Octorber 2013, using MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images and indexes including NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDSI (Normalized Difference Soil Index), and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index). In addition, marginal farmland was derived using elevation data. Lastly, degraded terrace fields of 16 degree was analyzed using NDVI, NDSI, and NDWI indexes, and marginal farmland characteristics with slope variable. The accuracy value of land cover classification, which shows the difference between the observation and analyzed value, was 84.9% and Kappa value was 0.82. The highest accuracy value was from agricultural (paddy, field) and forest area. Terrace fields were easily identified using slope data form agricultural field. Use of NDVI, NDSI, and NDWI is more effective in distinguishing deforested terrace field from agricultural area. NDVI only shows vegetation difference whereas NDSI classifies soil moisture values and NDWI classifies abandoned agricultural fields based on moisture values. The method used in this study allowed more effective identification of deforested terrace fields, which visually illustrates forest degradation problem in North Korea.

전체 공사 기간의 약 25%를 차지하고 있는 거푸집 공사는 최근 5년간 사망자 수가 크게 줄어들지 않고 계속 발생하고 있으며 그중 붕괴사고가 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 거푸집 붕괴사고에 관하여 위험도 및 안전관리 수준에 대한 설문조사를 통해 관리자와 작업자 간에 인식 차이를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 안전관리자, 현장작업자, 현장관리자 3개의 집단으로 구분하여 설문조사를 시행하였으며, 설문결과는 SPSS 프로그램을 활용한 독립표본 T-검정(Independent-Sample T-Test)을 시행하였다. 그 결과 관리자 간에는 인식의 차이가 거의 없는 반면, 관리자와 작업자 간에는 유의미한 인식 차이가 발생하였다. 더불어 관리도 측면에서 관리자와 작업자의 많은 인식 차이가 발생했으며 이 부분은 위험한 재해요인을 관리 및 감독하는 관리자와 직접 현장에서 작업을 진행하는 작업자 간의 입장차이를 극명하게 보여준다. 이러한 인식 차이가 재해를 줄이지 못하고 있는 요인이 될 수 있다고 사료된다. 따라서 이 연구를 바탕으로 좀 더 발전된 연구를 통하여 관리자와 근로자 간 인식의 차이를 줄여 재해에 관한 연구 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Monitoring terrestrial vegetation cover condition is important to evaluate its current condition and to identify potential vulnerabilities. Due to simplicity and low cost, point intercept method has been widely used in evaluating grassland surface and quantifying cover conditions. Field-based digital photography method is gaining popularity for the purpose of cover estimate, as it can reduce field time and enable additional analysis in the future. However, the caveats and uncertainty among field-based vegetation cover estimation methods is not well known, especially across a wide range of cover conditions. We compared cover estimates from point intercept and digital photography methods with varying sampling intensities (25, 49, and 100 points within an image), across 61 transects in typical steppe, forest steppe, and desert steppe in central Mongolia. We classified three photosynthetic groups of cover important to grassland ecosystem functioning: photosynthetic vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation, and bare soil. We also acquired normalized difference vegetation index from satellite image comparison with the field-based cover. Results: Photosynthetic vegetation estimates by point intercept method were correlated with normalized difference vegetation index, with improvement when non-photosynthetic vegetation was combined. For digital photography method, photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic vegetation estimates showed no correlation with normalized difference vegetation index, but combining of both showed moderate and significant correlation, which slightly increased with greater sampling intensity. Conclusions: Results imply that varying greenness is playing an important role in classification accuracy confusion. We suggest adopting measures to reduce observer bias and better distinguishing greenness levels in combination with multispectral indices to improve estimates on dry matter.

In this paper, field application of mass concrete using setting time difference of super retarding agent is reported to reduce hydration heat of concrete placed at newly constructed apartment house in Busan. Horizontal placing lift is applied. According to test results. slump and air content meets the requirement of target values. For compressive strength, it exceeds the nominal strength ordered by the costumer. Compressive strength of concrete cured in place is achieved more than the values of nominal strength at l4days. For temperature history, maximum temperature of center at top section shows 58.5$^{\circ}C$, and at bottom section, 62.6$^{\circ}C$. According to naked eye's investigation, no hydration heat crack is observed at the surface of concrete.

This Paper Presents field application test results of mass concrete using super retarding agent. The field test was carried out at mat foundation(thickness 1m) of newly constructed information center of Chongju university. Placing lift composed of 2 layers, and each layer is 50cm. Fly ash and flowing method is also applied. Difference of setting time of concrete between with super retarding agent and without super retarding agent is considered. Concrete without super retarding agent is placed at upper layer and with super retarding agent at lower layer According to test results, the reducing method of hydration heat considering difference of setting time with super retarding agent can reduce the highest temperature about 3~4$^{\circ}C$, and delay the peak time about 3~4days. Compressive strength using super retarding agent is somewhat higher than that of normal concrete. Accordingly, super retarding agent does not affect the strength development.

The electrical and rheological properties pertaining to the electrorheological (ER) behavior of chitosan derivatives, chitosan, chitosan ammonium salt and chitosan phosphate suspensions in silicone oil were investigated. Chitosan derivative suspensions showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. However, chitosan phosphate suspension exhibited an excellent shear yield stress compared with chitosan and chitosan ammonium salt suspensions. The difference in behavior results from the difference in the conductivity of the disperse phases due to the difference of their polarizability. The shear stress for the chitosan, chitosan ammonium salt and chitosan phosphate suspensions exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and 1.18 ,1.41 and 1.67 powers of the electric field. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized chitosan derivative suspensions found to be an ER fluid.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in optical imaging of neural activity because the optical neuroimaging has considerable advantages over conventional imaging. Birefringence of the axon has been reported to change during neural activation, but the neurophysiological origin of the change is still unresolved. This study hypothesizes that the birefringence signal is at least partially attributed to the transient cellular volume change associated with nerve excitation. To examine this hypothesis, we investigated how the intensity of cross-polarized light transmitting through the axon would change as the size of the axon changes. For this purpose, a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain program was developed with the improvement of the total-field/scattered-field method which reduces numerical noise. The results support our hypothesis in that the computed cross-polarized signals exhibit some agreement with previously-reported birefringence signals.

This study examines the difference of airborne sound isolation between laboratory and field test. The airborne sound isolation between adjacent dwellings in multi-family buildings is often much less than would be expected from the rated sound reduction index of the nominally-separating wall, due to structure-borne transmission of vibration at the junctions of wall. A variety of construction modifications to control such transmission have also been evaluated. This study presents a factor of the difference for flanking involving joint of wall, and shows the effect of some practical modifications that control the key flanking paths
