물발자국은 국가별 실제 물소비량을 파악하고 물 부족 상황에 효율적으로 대비하기 위하여 도입된 지표로서, 제품의 생산과 서비스 전 과정에서 직접 및 간접적으로 사용되는 물의 총량을 의미한다. 선진국에서는 물 사용 패턴에 대한 인식을 제고하고자 국가, 도시, 산업분야 등 다양한 물발자국 데이터베이스를 구축하여 활용하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우, 물 수입 의존도가 높지만 물발자국 산정에 대한 연구가 부족하여 효율적인 물 관리 및 안정적인 수자원 확보를 위한 국가전략 수립에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 물발자국 산정 연구는 국가적 차원의 정확한 물 수지 계산과 수자원계획 수립에 유용한 기초자료로서 활용이 가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 제1차 및 제2차 산업의 물발자국을 산정하였으며, 산정 방법으로는 상향식 접근법과 하향식 접근법을 적용하였다. 제1차 산업의 농업계 및 축산업계의 물발자국은 단위 물발자국에 기초한 상향식 접근법과 용수사용량에 기초한 하향식 접근법을 적용하여 산정하였다. 산업별 물발자국 산정결과는 다음과 같다. 주요 농작물 생산량 및 작물 품목별 단위 물발자국을 이용한 국내 농업계 물발자국 산정 결과, 1980년부터 2014년까지의 쌀 외 18개 농작물에서 연간 78억~109억 $m^3$로 산출되었다. 반면 농업용수 사용량에 기초한 하향식 접근법을 통해 산정한 농업계 물발자국은 118억 $m^3$으로 분석되었다. 다음으로 제1차 산업의 축산업계 물발자국을 산정하였다. 2011년부터 2015년까지 주요 가축 사육두수와 지육량, 사료작물의 단위 물발자국을 활용한 축산업계 물발자국은 평균 73억 $m^3$, 축산용수사용량을 활용한 물발자국은 평균 309억 $m^3$으로 나타났다. 축산용수사용량에 기초한 분석결과가 크게 나타난 것은 축산업분야에서 간접수의 비율이 높기 때문이다. 한편 제2차 산업의 공업계는 제품생산 공정의 물 사용량, 부품 및 원료의 단위 물발자국 등 세부사항의 파악이 곤란하여 하향식 접근법을 적용하였다. 공업용수 사용량과 공업용수 오염물질의 배출부하량에 따른 물발자국 산정 결과, 연간 26억 $m^3$으로 분석되었다. 이와 같은 산업별 물발자국 산정결과를 활용하여 산업별로 차별화되는 물 이용 패턴을 분석하고 산업별 용수 수요를 파악하면 국가적으로 효율적인 수자원 관리방안을 제시할 수 있다.

Sustainable wheat production is of paramount importance for attaining/maintaining the food self-sufficiency status of the rapidly growing nation of Pakistan. However, the average wheat yield per unit area has been dwindling in recent years and the climate-induced variations in rainfall patterns and temperature regimes, during the wheat growth period, are believed to be the reason behind this decline. Crop growth simulation models are powerful tools capable of playing pivotal role in evaluating the climate change impacts on crop yield or productivity. This study was aimed to predict the plausible variations in the wheat yield for future climatic trends so that possible mitigation strategies could be explored. For this purpose, Aquacrop model v. 4.0 was employed to simulate the wheat yield under present and future climatology of the largest agricultural province of Punjab in Pakistan. The data related to crop phenology, management and yield were collected from the experimental plots to calibrate and validate the model. The future climate projections were statistically downscaled from five general circulation models (GCMs) and compared with the base line climate from 1980 to 2010. The model was fed with the projected climate to simulate the wheat yield based on the RCP (representative concentration pathways) 4.5 and 8.5. Under the worst, most likely future scenario of temperature rise and rainfall reduction, the crop yield decreased and water footprint, especially blue, increased, owing to the elevated irrigation demands due to accelerated evapotranspiration rates. The modeling results provided in this study are expected to provide a basic framework for devising policy responses to minimize the climate change impacts on wheat production in the area.

This paper analyzes Gloria Anzaldua's borderland proposal through her work Borderlands/La Frontera (1987). One of the strong trends of US geographical imagination started from the concept of 'city upon a hill'. It left an important footprint in the American history. In the area of international political history, it was the starting point of the isolationism policy. But, this imagination is contradictory because it has exercised the bordering power that demarcates the border and overpasses it as needed. Anzaldua's geographic proposal consists of transformation of the border into the borderlands. This is a challenge to the bordering power and a challenge to the geographical imagination that has led to isolationism, and ultimately a history war. This is not only a nationalist war aimed at the Chicano's restoration but also a war that can measure the American society's possibility of change in the future.

The continuous increase in the cost of energy production and concerns for environmental sustainability are leading research communities, governments and industries to amass efforts to reduce energy consumption and global $CO_2$ footprint. Players in the information and communication industry are keen on reducing the operational expenditures (OpEx) and maintaining the profitability of cellular networks. Meanwhile, network virtualization has been proposed in this regard as the main enabler for 5G mobile cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a generic framework of slice resource provisioning and customized physical resource allocation for energy-efficiency and quality of service optimization. In resource slicing, we consider user demand and population resources provisioning scheme aiming to satisfy quality of service (QoS). In customized physical resource allocation, we formulate this problem with an integer non-linear programming model, which is solved by a heuristic algorithm based on minimum vertex coverage. The proposed algorithm is compared with the existing approaches, without consideration of slice resource constraints via system-level simulations. From the perspective of infrastructure providers, traffic is scheduled over a limited number of active small-cell base stations (sc-BSs) that significantly reduce the system energy consumption and improve the system's spectral efficiency. From the perspective of virtual network operators and mobile users, the proposed approach can guarantee QoS for mobile users and improve user satisfaction.

In this paper, we tried to explore factors influencing the diffusion of online events through SNS by analyzing the online footprint of consumers. To this end, log data of online events conducted by "C" beer brands were collected and analyzed. The analysis unit of log data was set for each one hour, and the analyzing method used descriptive and regression analysis. Results are as follows. First, factors influencing the diffusion of the view of SNS-based online events were like, friend used coupon, and friend size. In particular, the size of friends had the greatest impact on the diffusion, which again suggests the importance of social hubs in online events. Second, factors influencing the diffusion of the number of inflows were also like, friend used coupon, and size of friends. Third, it was found that the number of reply did not affect the diffusion of views and inflows. This study is meaningful that it suggested an alternative plan to increase the effect of online events by using real data.

The Korean Meteorological Society had published the 'Journal of the Korean Meteorological Society' as an academic journal representing the society, and has been currently publishing 'Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences (APJAS)' and 'Atmosphere'. The Journal of the Korean Meteorological Society was published for 1963~2007 since the society was established, and has been renamed to APJAS since 2008 as a manner to make an international leap forward. The 'Atmosphere' was first published in 1991 and has been using the same name to date. In the early years of publication, it served as a newsletter to announce the activities of society members, but it is now publishing valuable research articles. As part of the 60th anniversary celebration of the society, this paper has summarized the footsteps of several academic journals published in the past and still publishing, and proposed future development plans.

Drag reduction is significant research in aircraft design due to its effect on the cost of operation and carbon footprint reduction. Aircraft currently use conventional solid winglets to reduce the induced drag, adding extra structural weight. Fluidic on-demand winglets can effectively reduce drag for low-speed flight regimes without adding any extra weight. These utilize the spanwise airflow from the wingtips using hydraulic actuators to create jets that negate tip vortices. This study develops a computational model to investigate fluidic on-demand winglets. The well-validated computational model is applied to investigate the effect of injection velocity and angle on the aerodynamic coefficients of a rectangular wing. Further, the turbulence parameters such as turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and turbulent dissipation rate are studied in detail at various velocity injections and at an angle of 30°. The results show that the increase in injection velocity shifted the vortex core away from the wing tip and the increase in injection angle shifted the vortex core in the vertical direction. Further, it was found that a 30° injection is efficient among all injection velocities and highly efficient at a velocity ratio of 3. This technology can be adopted in any aircraft, effectively working at various angles of attack. The culmination of this study is that the implementation of fluidic winglets leads to a significant reduction in drag at low speeds for low aspect ratio wings.

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), is constructed out of teeny-tiny sensor nodes that are very low-cost, have a low impact on the environment in terms of the amount of power they consume, and are able to successfully transmit data to the base station. The primary challenges that are presented by WSN are those that are posed by the distance between nodes, the amount of energy that is consumed, and the delay in time. The sensor node's source of power supply is a battery, and this particular battery is not capable of being recharged. In this scenario, the amount of energy that is consumed rises in direct proportion to the distance that separates the nodes. Here, we present a Hybrid Firefly Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization (HF-GSO) guided routing strategy for preserving WSNs' low power footprint. An efficient fitness function based on firefly optimization is used to select the Cluster Head (CH) in this procedure. It aids in minimising power consumption and the occurrence of dead sensor nodes. After a cluster head (CH) has been chosen, the Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization (GSO) algorithm is used to figure out the best path for sending data to the sink node. Power consumption, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and network lifetime are just some of the metrics measured and compared between the proposed method and methods that are conceptually similar to those already in use. Simulation results showed that the proposed method significantly reduced energy consumption compared to the state-of-the-art methods, while simultaneously increasing the number of functioning sensor nodes by 2.4%. Proposed method produces superior outcomes compared to alternative optimization-based methods.

Geopolymer concrete (GC) can be competently utilized as a practical replacement for cement to prevent a high carbon footprint and to give a direction toward sustainable concrete construction. Moreover, previous studies mostly focused on the axial response of glass fiber reinforced polymer (glass-FRP) concrete compressive elements without determining the effectiveness of repairing them after their partial damage. The goal of this study is to assess the structural effectiveness of partially damaged GC columns that have been restored using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (carbon-FRP). Bars made of glass-FRP and helix made of glass-FRP are used to reinforce these columns. For comparative study, six of the twelve circular specimens-each measuring 300 mm×1200 mm-are reinforced with steel bars, while the other four are axially strengthened using glass-FRP bars (referred to as GSG columns). The broken columns are repaired and strengthened using carbon-FRP sheets after the specimens have been subjected to concentric and eccentric compression until a 30% loss in axial strength is attained in the post-peak phase. The study investigates the effects of various variables on important response metrics like axial strength, axial deflection, load-deflection response, stiffness index, strength index, ductility index, and damage response. These variables include concentric and eccentric compression, helix pitch, steel bars, carbon-FRP wrapping, and glass-FRP bars. Both before and after the quick repair process, these metrics are evaluated. The results of the investigation show that the axial strengths of the reconstructed SSG and GSG columns are, respectively, 15.3% and 20.9% higher than those of their original counterparts. In addition, compared to their SSG counterparts, the repaired GSG samples exhibit an improvement in average ductility indices of 2.92% and a drop in average stiffness indices of 3.2%.

The interest in greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted from all industries is emerging as a very important issue worldwide. This is affecting not only the global warming, but also the environmentally friendly competitiveness of the industry. The fisheries sector is increasingly interested in greenhouse gas emissions also due to the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. Korean industry and government are also making a number of effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions so far, but the effort to reduce GHG in the fishery sector is insufficient compared to other fields. Especially, the investigation on the GHG emissions from Korean fisheries did not carry out extensively. The studies on GHG emissions from Korean fishery are most likely dealt with the GHG emissions by fishery classification so far. However, the forthcoming research related to GHG emissions from fisheries is needed to evaluate the GHG emission level by species to prepare the adoption of Environmental labels and declarations (ISO 14020). The purpose of this research is to investigate which degree of GHG emitted to produce the species (swimming crab and snow crab) from various fisheries. Here, we calculated the GHG emission to produce the species from the fisheries using the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The system boundary and input parameters for each process level are defined for LCA analysis. The fuel use coefficients of the fisheries for the species are also calculated according to the fuel type. The GHG emissions from sea activities by the fisheries will be dealt with. Furthermore, the GHG emissions for producing the unit weight species and annual production are calculated by fishery classification. The results will be helpful to establish the carbon footprint of seafood in Korea.
