The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has observed the Earth's mass redistribution mainly caused by the variations of groundwater, ice sheet, and sea level since its launch in April 2002. The global gravity model estimated by the GRACE observation is corrected by barometric pressure, and thus represents the change of Earth mass on the Earth's surface and below Earth's surface excluding air mass. However, the total air mass varies due to the water exchange between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. As a result, the nominal GRACE gravity model should include the Earth's gravity spectrum associated with the total air mass variations, degree 0 and order 0 coefficients of spherical harmonics ($C_{00}$). Because the water vapor content varies mainly on a seasonal time scale, a change of $C_{00}$ (${\delta}C_{00}$) is particularly important to seasonal variations of sea level, and mass balance between northern and southern hemisphere. This result implies that ${\delta}C_{00}$ coefficients should be accounted for the examination of continental scale mass change possibly associated with the climate variations.

The research of global-scale mass redistribution and it changed by Earth gravity filed variation observations, including Earth's oblateness $J_2$(also called low degree spherical harmonic coefficient $C_{20}$), is in continuous progress. Recently, the comparative analysis of geodetic observation SLR can be made by the development of GRACE and other time-variable gravity measurements. In this study, $C_{20}$ time series changes in the value of comparative analysis was got by GRACE monthly Gravity filed model (CSR RL04) for the period April 2002 to May 2008. And comparative analysis the harmonic coefficients of $C_{20}$ was obtained from SLR observations. Signal analysis for two time-series data was made by wavelet transform, CWT(continuous wavelet transform), XWT(cross wavelet transform) and WTC(wavelet coherence) methods. The results indicate that GRACE and SLR values for $C_{20}$ had both decreasing trend, as well as SLR data represent the annual frequencies, and GRACE was semiannual variations. In addition, the results of GRACE and SLR had a strong correlation with the XWT and WTC in an annual cycle.

2002년 발사 된 GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment)는 미국과 독일 합작으로 개발된 지구중력장 측정 전용 위성으로 동일한 궤도를 비행하는 두 개의 위성 사이 거리 변화를 측정하여 지구 중력장을 추정하는 사업이다. GRACE 위성의 핵심 관측기인 위성간 거리측정기의 원리에 대해 소개하고, 운용 현황 및 성능에 대해 소개하였다. 발사 전 성능 분석 단계에서 고려되지 못했던 거리측정기 오차 요인에 대해 분석하고, 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다.

Changes in the amount, intensity, frequency, and type of precipitation, in conjunction with global warming and climate change, critically impact groundwater recharge and associated groundwater level fluctuations. Monthly gravity levels by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) are acquired to monitor total water storage changes at regional and global scales. However, there are inherent difficulties in quantitatively relating the GRACE observations to groundwater level data due to the difficulties in spatially representing groundwater levels. Here three local interpolation methods (kriging, inverse distance weighted, and natural neighbor) were implemented to estimate the areal distribution of groundwater recharge changes in South Korea during the 2002-2016 period. The interpolated monthly groundwater recharge changes are compared with the GRACE-derived groundwater storage changes. There is a weak decrease in the groundwater recharge changes over time in both the GRACE observations and groundwater measurements, with the rate of groundwater recharge change exhibiting mean and median values of -0.01 and -0.02 cm/month, respectively.

The new preventive control mechanisms for traffic management in BISDN/ATM networks can be divided into Connection Admission Control(CAC), Usage Parameter Control (UPC), and Priority Control. Of these mechanism, Usage Parameter Control continuously monitors the parameters admitted in the network's entry point to guarantee quality of service of connections already admitted. Upon detecting traffic that violates the negotiated parameter, it takes the necessary control measures to prevent congestion. Among these traffic control methods, this paper focuses on the Usage Parameter Control method, and proposes and designs GRACE-LB(Guaranteed Rate Acceptance & Control Element-using Leaky Bucket) which improves upon existing UPC models. GRACE-LB modifies the previous LB model by eliminating the cell buffer, dividing the token Pool into two pools, Long-term pool, Short-term pool, and changing the long-term token generating form using 'Cycle Token' into the same bursty form as the traffic source. Through this, GRACE-LB achieves effective control of the Average Bit Rate(ABR) and burst duration of bursty multimedia traffic which previous LB models found difficult to control. Also, since GRACE-LB can e implemented using only simple operations and there are no cell buffers in it, it has the merit of being easily installed at any place.

지구는 지속적으로 변화하는 동력학적 시스템이며, 지표면 형상 및 지구 내부의 질량분포도 계속 변화하고 있다. 지구시스템의 질량재분배 과정에서 발생되는 밀도 차이는 중력장의 미세한 변이를 초래한다. 미 항공우주센터(NASA)와 독일 국립 항공우주연구센터(DLR)에서 공동으로 개발한 GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) 인공위성은 지구의 중력장을 측정하는 위성으로, 2002년부터 현재까지 9년 동안 활동해왔다. 본 연구에서는 한반도(북위 $37.5^{\circ}\sim41.5^{\circ}$, 동경 $125.5^{\circ}\sim130.5^{\circ}$)의 월평균 수자원변화량(TWSC: Terrestrial Water Storage Change)을 산정하기 위해 미국 텍사스대학교 공간연구센터(CSR)에서 가우시안 필터링을 통해 구면조화함수의 계수 형태로 제공된 총 94개월(2002 년 8월~2010년 6월)의 자료(Level-2)를 이용하였다. Level-2 자료는 해양조석, 고체지구조석 및 지구자전으로 인한 극조석 등 조석의 영향과 대기와 해양의 변동성으로 인한 비조석 영향을 보정한 것이다. 이렇게 산정한 TWSC를 수자원관리정보시스템(WAMIS)과 전지구지표동계화시스템(GLDAS)을 통해 제공되는 자료와 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 GRACE 중력장 자료가 수자원총량의 산정과 검증을 위한 대안으로 활용될 수 있음과, 수문요소의 불확실성을 낮출 수 있는 새로운 수문자료로의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Lipofilling is a reconstructive and aesthetic technique that has recently grown in popularity and is increasingly being used in breast surgery. Previous concerns had been raised regarding its safety when used for remodelling and reconstruction of the breast; however, these concerns have since been dismissed. Over the subsequent two decades, little evidence has been found to support these early theoretical concerns, and growing numbers of proponents of the procedure are confident in its safety. Many developments and refinements in the technique have taken place in recent years, and several studies have been published regarding the safety of lipofilling in the breast. We reviewed the current literature regarding the use of different lipofilling techniques as well as the current evidence regarding the oncological safety of the procedure in patients seeking aesthetic breast enhancement and in patients requiring reconstruction after treatment for breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to examine the ladylike style of Grace Kelly focusing on her costume design of 1950s movie and star image, and to understand how she became a fashion icon today. Her city elegant look was usually composed of A line or H line suits and dresses, pearl jewelry, gloves, handbags and her classic ladylike attitude. Kelly's luxury casual look epitomized a relaxed elegance based on the American sporting image including the Hermes "Kelly" bag. Her sexual elegant look showed the combination of freshness, ladylike virtue and underlying sex appeal. Her self-confident, ladylike style appeals to modern fashionable women who likes to be elegant but also sexy.
