This study analyzed how spatial distribution of Himantormia lugubris is affected by the microenvironment in the Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 171 located in the Barton Peninsula of King George Island that belongs to the maritime Antarctic. In order to determine the population structure of H. lugubris growing in Baekje Hill within ASPA No. 171, we counted the individuals of different size groups after dividing the population into 5 growth stages according to mean diameter as follows: ≤ 1 cm, 1-3 cm, 3-5 cm, 5-10 cm, and ≥ 10 cm. The count of H. lugubris individuals in each growth stage was converted into its percentage with respect to the entire population, which yielded the finding that stages 1 through 5 accounted for 32.8%, 25.3%, 15.9%, 22.5%, and 3.5%, respectively. This suggests that the population of H. lugubris in ASPA No. 171 has a stable reverse J-shaped population structure, with the younger individuals outnumbering mature ones. The mean density of H. lugubris was 17.6/0.25 m², mean canopy cover 13.3%, and the mean dry weight 37.8 g/0.25 m². It began to produce spore in the sizes over 3 cm, and most individuals measuring 5-10 cm were adults with sexually mature apothecia. The spatial distribution of H. lugubris was highly heterogeneous. The major factors influencing its distribution and performance were found to be the period covered by snow, wind direction, moisture, size of the substrate, and canopy cover of Usnea spp. Based on these factors, we constructed a prediction model for estimating the spatial distribution of H. lugubris. Conclusively, the major factors for the spatial distribution of H. lugubris were snow, wind, substrate and the competition with Usnea spp. These results are important for understanding of the distribution in the maritime Antarctic and evolution of H. lugubris that claims a unique life history and ecological niche.

본 연구에서는 매립장에서 하부 지반으로 누출된 침출수의 이동에 흡착 불균질성이 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 차수막이 설치되어 있지 않은 매립장을 대상으로 일련의 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 결과를 검토하였다. 균질한 지층에서 강불균질 지층에 이르는 다양한 불균질도를 가진 랜덤 분배계수 장에 대하여 포화 유동 모델과 오염물 이동 모델을 연결시켜 침출수의 이동을 계산하였다. 100회에 걸쳐 수행된 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션의 결과치로부터 얻은 평균, 표준편차, 변이계수와 같은 점기반 통계치들을 이용하여 화학적 불균질도의 영향을 평가하였다. 통계치 결과에 따르면 매립지반의 분배계수 분포가 지반 내 침출수 농도를 결정하는데 매우 중요한 인자로 나타났다. 균질 흡착의 경우와 비교할 때 불균질 분배계수 장에서는 실현 간 침출수 농도 분포의 변동성이 나타났다. 분배계수 장의 분산 및 오염원과 감시정 간의 이동 시간이 커질수록 농도의 변동성이 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 화학적 변동성이 큰 지반 내에서의 침출수 이동을 예측할 때 단일 분배계수 값을 사용하면 상당한 오차를 유발할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

In this paper, we consider the leaky bucket parameter dimensioning problem in the presence of the cell delay variation(CDV) which arises at the customer premises network dud to the multiplexing with other traffic streams. We consider an ATM multiplexer in which a single CBR stream and several heterogeneous VBR traffic streams are multiplexed. Choosing an MMPP model for the bursty traffic streams, we derive an (MMPP+DD)/D/1/K queueing model for the evaluation of the CDV experienced by the CBR stream. We first evaluate the equilibrium queue length distribution embedded at tagged-cell arrival-time instants, based on whcih we calcuate the inter-cell time distribution and the distribution kof the number of tagged-cell departures in an arbitrary interval. Then we apply the analysis to the dimensionging problem of the leaky bucket parameters, examining how the employed traffic model affects the determination of the bucket size. Through numerical examples, we confirm that the Poisson traffic model can underestimate the bucket size, thus causing a considerable blocking probability for compliant use cells while the MMPP model can optimally design the bucket size which keeps the blocking probability under the target value.

Urban streams have, recently, been straightened and widened to alleviate flooding problem. As a result, the stream have been modified inadvertently for ecological functions and microtopography. In this study, we investigated riparian vegetation and microtopography of the tributaries of Han River before and after the monsoon rain in summer. The purpose of this study was to relate the stream microtopography to the distribution of riparian vegetation. The stream microtopography was investigated for its scale and pattern. Vegetation was investigated from 131 plots by Braun-Blanquet method. The distribution of riparian vegetation was significantly correlated with the stream microtopography. Various herbaceous species occurred at stream bank slop, high terrace and channel side. However, at channel side and concave part of terrace where soils were in high moisture level, only a few wetland species were dominated. The complexity of the microtopography in the stream corridors led to heterogeneous riparian vegetation. The vegetation showed more stability against flooding at the stream corridors with natural and complex microtopography than at the urban-type stream corridors with simple topographical features. The results showed that the development of riparian vegetation was influenced by the changes in microtopography, which was primarily determined by the shape and characteristics of channel. It seemed that a close-to-nature river system would be restored more readily with an understanding of microtopographical features affecting the distribution of riparian vegetation.

In order to study the successional trend and the heterogeneity of forest community, we investigated DBH frequency distribution of dominant tree species and the changes of several community indicies including ${\beta}-diversity\;({\beta}_t)$ along a belt transect in Mt. Yongam, Kwangnung Experimental Forest, which has been preserved for about 530 years. Quercus serrata, Carpinus laxiflora, and C. cordata were the three dominant species and their DBH frequency distribution showed a reverse J-shaped form, so these species seem to maintain by themselves. Dominancediversity curve had a lognormal distribution. d and H'for pooled quadrats were 0.13 and 1.09, respectively, but these indices within each quadiat varied with the range of 0.13 to 0.57 and 0.5 to 1.09, respectively. The value of ${\beta}_t$ along the belt transect ranged from 0.14 to 0.42. These results suggest that this forest community is in the stable climax stage but the components experience a heterogeneous microsuccession.

Ore criteria at the Sheba Deposit indicate orogenic mineralization type. Rocks and mineral assemblages suggest low formation-temperature of green-schist facies. Pyrite found in two generations; Type1 is irregular grains, contains higher arsenic and gold contents, compared to the relatively younger phase Type2 pyrite, which is composed of euhedral grains, found adjacent to late quartz-carbonate veins or at rims of type1 pyrite. Two gold generations were identified; type1 found included in sulphides (mainly pyrite). The second gold type was remobilized (secondary) into free-lodes within silicates (mainly quartz). Gold fineness is high, as gold contains up to 95 wt. % Au, Ag up to 3.5 wt. %, and traces of Cu, Ni, and Fe. Pyrite type2 contains tiny mineral domains (rich in Al, Mn, Hg, Se, Ti, V, and Cr). Zoning, and replacement textures are common, suggesting multiple mineralization stages. The distribution and relationships of trace elements in pyrite type2 indicate three formation patterns: (1) Al, Mn, Hg, Se, Ti, V, Cr, and Sn are homogeneously distributed in pyrite, reflecting a synchronous formation. (2) As, Ni, Co, Zn, and Sb display heterogeneous distribution pattern in pyrite, which may indicate post-formation existence due to other activities. (3) Au and Ag show both distribution patterns within pyrite, suggesting that gold is found both in microscopic phases and as chemically bounded phase.

실 기동 훈련을 기반으로 획득한 데이터는 전투 또는 워게임 모델링 및 시뮬레이션에 중요한 역할을 지니게 된다. 특히 이들 데이터는 무기체계 분석을 위한 중요한 입력자료로 활용하게 된다. 현존하는 분석모델들은 사격시간간격의 평균값을 상수로 지정하여 적용하여 왔으나 사격시간간격은 기존 확률분포 또는 경험분포로 적합하여 사용함이 보다 현실적이라고 할 수 있다. 실제 전장의 데이터를 획득하기 어려운 여건이므로 실기동 훈련으로 획득된 경험 데이터를 활용할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 본 연구는 확률과정을 따르는 전투상황을 보다 근접하게 모의할 수 있는 새로운 접근방법 및 기법을 연구하고 비교한다. 이 연구는 다양한 혼합 무기체계, 적정 전투의 규모, 그리고 전술적 측면 등을 포함하는 향후 연구과제의 필요성을 제기하면서 이를 위한 첫 번째 단계에 해당하는 기초연구이다.

Recent earthquakes in Korea, like Gyeongju and Pohang, have highlighted the need for accurate seismic hazard assessment. The lack of substantial ground motion data necessitates stochastic simulation methods, traditionally used with a simplistic point-source assumption. However, as earthquake magnitude increases, the influence of finite faults grows, demanding the adoption of finite faults in simulations for accurate ground motion estimates. We analyzed variations in simulated ground motions with and without the finite fault method for earthquakes with magnitude (Mw) ranging from 5.0 to 7.0, comparing pseudo-spectral acceleration. We also studied how slip distribution and hypocenter location affect simulations for a virtual earthquake that mimics the Gyeongju earthquake with Mw 5.4. Our findings reveal that finite fault effects become significant at magnitudes above Mw 5.8, particularly at high frequencies. Notably, near the hypocenter, the virtual earthquake's ground motion significantly changes using a finite fault model, especially with heterogeneous slip distribution. Therefore, applying finite fault models is crucial for simulating ground motions of large earthquakes (Mw ≥ 5.8 magnitude). Moreover, for accurate simulations of actual earthquakes with complex rupture processes having strong localized slips, incorporating finite faults is essential even for more minor earthquakes.

1. 제주해협에서는 6월에 가장 낮은 생물량 분포를 나타내었고, 가을철(11월)에 가장 높은 생물량 분포를 보이면서 높은 2차 생산력을 보이는 것으로 사료된다. 2. 해황 및 습중량과의 관계에서 가장 높은 분포를 나타내는 정점은 각각 정점 14와 11로 그 출현위치는 해협의 중앙부분이고, 한국남해연안역 및 제주도 북부연안역에는 다소 낮은 생물량분포를 보이고 있으며, 생물량 분포가 높게 나타나는 해역의 특징은 patch의 형태로 분포하였다 반면 한국남해연안역에 비하여 제주도 북부연안역에높은 생물량 분포를 나타냄으로써 제주해협에서의 갈치어장 형성위치와 생물량 분포와의 관계가 밀접하게 나타날 것으로 판단된다. 그리고, 가을 의 해황 특성인 서로 다른 이질수괴의 경계역인 안상부 해황의 중심에 높은 생물량을 나타냈다. 3. 제주해협에서 patch의 형태로 생물량 분포가 높게 나타나는 해역의 외측에 좋은 갈치어장이 형성되었다.

하수 슬러지로부터 추출된 유지를 이용하여 바이오디젤 생산에 대해 고찰하였다. 바이오디젤 생산의 밝은 전망에도 불구하고, 이를 상용화하기 위한 노력은 매우 제한되어 있다. 주요 장애물 중 하나는 전체 생산비용의 약 70~75%를 구성하는 정제 유지의 공급 원료와 연관된 높은 가격이다. 따라서 이를 극복하기 위하여 폐유나 낮은 품질 유지 등의 저가 원료를 사용하여 바이오디젤의 생산 비용을 낮추는 기술이 제안되어 왔다. 이런 측면에서 하수 슬러지로부터 추출된 유지는 비교적 저렴하여 유망한 원료로 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하수 슬러지로부터 추출된 유지를 이용한 바이오디젤의 생산기술을 검토하였다. 하수 슬러지로부터 유지 추출공정 및 에스테르화 전환공정 및 무촉매 열화학 전환공정을 살펴보았다.
