This study was conducted to estimate climax index by eco-morphology for major 36 tree and sub-tree species in natural deciduous forests so as to interpret seral position of each species in the forest community. Fourteen eco-morphological characters which were considered to be associated with successional gradient in the forest were selected for the study. Four levels per character for each species were given on a standardized scale of increasing climax, and the index was computed by the proportion of the sum of total scores, expressed by percent values. With calculated mean value of 54.8 for all indices, Carpinus cordata had the highest index value of 90.5, and Populus davidiana recorded the lowest of 13.2. The most climax group, greater than 70 of the index, contained only 8 species, intermediate group, between 41 to 70 of the index, had 23 species, and the most pioneer group, less than 40 of the index comprised 5 species. The result has noticed that the large number of species would take advantage of most diverse resource and niche in the intermediate stage of the sere in the forest. By cluster analysis all 36 species were subjected to be classified into several species groups which had common similar eco-morphological characteristics. The indices were additionally plotted on the two dimensional graph to recognize the positions related to the light absorption factor and reproduction factor. The climax index of tree and sub-tree species developed by this study could be applied to understand the present status of successional stage on the basis of species composition by the method of summing up the indices. And comparison of forest successional stage among various forest communities could be done by summing up the climax indices of composed species in each community. However, this kind of applied methodology should be limited to the forest of similar species composition and site condition.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 홍수유출의 특성을 종합적으로 표현할 수 있는 홍수지수를 개발하였다. 홍수유출특성을 종합적으로 지수에 반영하기 위하여 유출곡선으로 표현되는 홍수유출의 특성을 홍수수문곡선의 상승률, 첨두유량, 홍수 응답시간, 첨두발생 전 홍수용적 등 4가지의 특성인자로 표현하였다. 이러한 유출특성인자를 객관적인 상대심도로 표현하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 특성인자의 분포함수를 표준정규분포함수로 변환하여 특성지수를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서 산정한 종합홍수지수(Comprehensive Flood Index, CFI)는 기존의 돌발홍수지수(Flash Flood Index, FFI)의 문제점을 보완한 것으로 홍수의 심도를 유역별로 상대평가할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 본 연구에서는 한강과 설마천 유역에 대하여 CFI를 산정하고, 상관분석과 회귀분석을 통해 FFI와 비교 평가하였다. CFI는 산정과정에서 특정 홍수유출 특성에 지배받지 않아 종합적으로 홍수유출특성을 표현할 수 있고, FFI에 비해 강우-유출관계를 효과적으로 설명할 수 있었다.

This study aimed to analyze the wind-induced mechanical energy (WME) of a proposed super high-rise and long-span transmission tower-line system (SHLTTS), which, in 2021, is the tallest tower-line system with the longest span. Anew index - the WME, accounting for the wind-induced vibration behavior of the whole system rather than the local part, was first proposed. The occurrence of the maximum WME for a transmission tower, with or without conductors, under synoptic winds, was analyzed, and the corresponding formulae were derived based on stochastic vibration theory. Some calculation data, such as the drag coefficient, dynamic parameters, windshielding areas, mass, calculation point coordinates, mode shape and influence function, derived from wind tunnel testing on reducedscale models and finite element software were used in calculating the maximum WME of the transmission tower under three cases. Then, the influence of conductors, wind speed, gradient wind height and wind yaw angle on WME components and the energy transfer relationship between substructures (transmission tower and conductor) were analyzed. The study showed that the presence of conductors increases the WME of transmission towers and changes the proportion of the mean component (MC), background component (BC) and resonant component (RC) for WME; The RC of WME is more susceptible to the wind speed change. Affected by the gradient wind height, the WME components decrease. With the RC decreasing the fastest and the MC decreasing the slowest; The WME reaches the its maximum value at the wind yaw angle of 30°. Due to the influence of three factors, namely: the long span of the conductors, the gradient wind height and the complex geometrical profile, it is important that the tower-line coupling effect, the potential for fatigue damage and the most unfavorable wind yaw angle should be given particular attention in the wind-resistant design of SHLTTSs

세기변조방사선치료 (Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy; IMRT) 의 치료계획 목적으로 사용하기 위한 선량최적화 방법을 Gradient based algorithm을 이용하여 개발하였다. 환자의 치료 관심 부위를 포함하는 약 10-30 CT 단면에 대하여 각 단면 별로 선량최적화를 실시하였고, 장기별로 최대 허용선량을 지정하였으며, 표적의 선량은 100$\pm$5 %로 제한하였다. beamlet의 크기는 8$\times$8 $cm^2$으로 제한하였고, beam size가 크지 않으므로 beam diverge는 고려하지 않았다. beamlet 하나가 만드는 선량분포를 미리 계산한 후, 선량중첩방식으로 전체 선량분포를 계산하였다. 고정된 동일평면에 대하여 5방향에서 입사하는 빔에 대한 최적화를 실시하였으며, 그 효용성을 비교하기 위해, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 방향에 입사하는 빔과 최적화지수를 구하였다. 선량최적화에 소요되는 시간은 대체로 slice 수에 비례하였으며, 계산시간과 최적화지수를 비교할 때 빔의 개수가 3-7개 일 때 가장 적합하였다. 다중단면에 대한 선량최적화를 beam divergence를 고려하지 않을 때, 단일 단면에 대한 선량최적화를 반복 시행함으로써 얻을 수 있었다. 선량최적화의 결과가 선량중심의 위치에 따라 민감하게 변하는 경우가 발생하였으며, 이를 개선하기 위해서는 선량중심의 최적화가 개발될 필요성이 있었다.

Not only emissions, but also atmospheric circulation is a key factor that affects local particulate matters (PM) concentrations in Korea through ventilation effects and transboundary transports. As part of the atmospheric circulation, air stagnation especially adversely affects local air quality due to weak ventilation. This study investigates the large-scale circulation related to air stagnation over Korea during winter and projects the climate change impacts on atmospheric patterns, using observed PM data, reanalysis and regional climate projections from HadGEM3-RA with Modified Korea Particulate matter Index. Results show that the stagnation affects the PM concentration, accompanied by pressure ridge at upper troposphere and weaken zonal pressure gradient at lower troposphere. Downscaling using HadGEM3-RA is found to yield Added-Value in the simulated low tropospheric winds. For projection of future stagnation, SSP5-8.5 and SSP1-2.6 (high and low emission) scenarios are used here. It has been found that the stagnation condition occurs more frequently by 11% under SSP5-8.5 and by 5% under SSP1-2.6 than in present-day climate and is most affected by changes in surface wind speed. The increase in the stagnation conditions is related to anticyclonic circulation anomaly at upper troposphere and weaken meridional pressure gradient at lower troposphere. Considering that the present East Asian winter monsoon is mainly affected by change in zonal pressure gradient, it is worth paying attention to this change in the meridional gradient. Our results suggest that future warming condition increase the frequency of air stagnation over Korea during winter with response of atmospheric circulation and its nonlinearity.

The objectives of this study were to analyze reservoir trophic state, based on Trophic State Index (TSI), spatial variation patterns of three zones (riverine, transition, and lacustrine zone), and empirical models through 20-years long-term data analysis. Trophic variables of TP and CHL-a were highest during the summer monsoon, and decreased along the main axis from the riverine to lacustrine zone. In the mean time, TN did not show the trend. Ratios of N:P and Secchi disc transparency (SD) increased from the riverine to lacustrine zone. The analysis of trophic state index (TSI) showed that mean TSI (TP) and TSI (CHL-a) were 62 and 57, respectively, and these values were highest in the transition zone during the summer. This zone should be managed well due to highest lake water pollution. The analysis of Trophic State Index Deviation (TSID) showed that algal growth was primarily limited by light penetration, and this was most pronounced in the monsoon season. The analysis of empirical models showed that the value of $R^2$, based on CHL-SD model, was 0.30 (p < 0.0001) in the transition zone and the $R^2$, based on TP-SD model, was 0.41 (p < 0.0001) in the transition zone.

The fragility, which express the fineness index, increased linearly with the moisture content for various tobacco shreds and showed a high correlation to the moisture content. Then, fineness index (FIs) at reference moisture content(l2.5%) was obtained by following equation. FIs=FIm+A(12.5-Mm) A" denote the gradient of simple linear regression equation between the fineness index and moisture content. FIm; the fineness index measured at the standard moisture content(12.5%). The characteristics of fragility concerning with some kinds of tobacco raw materials, stalk position, moisture content and storaged time were investigated. The following results were obtained. 1. The moisture content range of less fragile of tobacco raw material was from 16% to 20%. whereas the rolled process sheet tobacco was from 12% to 16%. 2. The Bright yellow and the paper process sheet tobacco were less fragile than that of the other tobacco raw materials. 3. The leaves were more distant from middle stalk position, and its become more fragile. 4. Physical properties of the storaged tobacco leaves were determined as a function of each storageunction of each storage time. The long-term storaged leaves(more than 3 years) were slightly lighter weight, more fragility and lower equilbrium moisture content than thos of the mid-term storaged leaves.(less than 3 years). 5. Contents of chemical component of the storaged leaves were determined every storage time. The long-term storaged leaves were slightly lower content of nicotine and chlorine than those of mid-term storaged leaves, but contents of crude fiber, total ash and calcium were increased significantly.

This paper proposes multiple RLS and actuator performance index-based adaptive actuator fault-tolerant control and detection algorithms for longitudinal autonomous driving. The proposed algorithm computes the desired acceleration using feedback law for longitudinal autonomous driving. When actuator fault or performance degradation exists, it is designed that the desired acceleration is adjusted with the calculated feedback gains based on multiple RLS and gradient descent method for fault-tolerant control. In order to define the performance index, the error between the desired and actual accelerations is used. The window-based weighted error standard deviation is computed with the design parameters. Fault level decision algorithm that can represent three fault levels such as normal, warning, emergency levels is proposed in this study. Performance evaluation under various driving scenarios with actuator fault was conducted based on co-simulation of Matlab/Simulink and commercial software (CarMaker).

We report a novel manner for preparing single layer anti-reflective coatings with excellent optical properties (<1% reflection) over a broad wavelength regime. The technology is based upon the self-assembly and UV curing of reactive nano-particles, leading to nano-structured coatings with a gradient in refractive index. The single processing step leading to such coatings is fast, robust and cost effective. Furthermore in this paper we will address the mechanical durability of such nano-structured coatings.
