In Korea, no CRA (comparative risk analysis) studies have been undertaken, nor have their methodologies of such studies been established. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to establish the framework of CRA consisting of health risk, economic risk and perceived risk, and to estimate and compare these risks among the three environmental problems of air pollution, indoor air pollution and drinking water contamination, which are themselves subject to the eight sub -problems of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), regulated pollutants (representative as PM 10) and dioxins (PCDDs/PCDFs) in air pollution, indoor air pollutants (IAPs) and radon in indoor air pollution, and drinking water pollutants (DWPs), disinfection by -products (DBPs) and radionuclides in drinking water contamination in Seoul, Korea. After which, the priorities of these problems were set by individual and integrated risk. From the results, the rankings of both health risk and economical risk were in the following order: radon, PM10, IAPs, HAPs, DWPs, dioxins, DBPs, and radionuclides among the eight sub problems. On the contrary, the ranking of perceived risk was in the following order: HAPs, dioxins, radionuclides, PM10, DWPs, IAPs, Radon and then DBPs among the eight sub-problems.

On 2016 April $13^{th}$ the Jovian satellite Ganymede occulted a $7^{th}$ magnitude star. The predicted occultation track (occultation shadow) crossed the Northern Pacific Ocean, Japan, and South Korea. Hence, it was a very favorable event due to the star brightness in order to be accessible for small-aperture telescopes as well. While no other similar event is expected for the next 10 years, only two occultation events are reported in the literature in the past, from Earth in 1972 and from Voyager, in large disagreement in respect to the atmospheric detection. However, evidence of an exosphere around Ganymede was inferred through H Lyman alpha emission detected by Galileo UVS, through HST/GHRS detection of far-UV atomic O airglow emissions, signature of dissociated molecular oxygen. We organized a short-notice international coordinated occultation monitoring network with the aim to search for a signature of Ganymede's exosphere in the occultation light-curve by using facilities on Mauna Kea (NASA-IRTF) and Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO) in South Korea.

The special interest should be paid to the analysis of the influences of positive emotions in terms of their possible effects on the dyanmics of autonomic. recovery after the negative affective stimualtion. Taking into account emotion-specific autonomic response patterning and dissociation of parameters of autonomic arousal during experience of both positive and negative emotional states, this problem seems a challenging one. In present study several autonomic parameters were analyzed altogether, namely inedices of electrodermal activity, heart rate and respitation rate during consecutive combination or both IAPS-based visual affective and auditory stimulation. The aim of the study was analysis of patterns of electrodermal and cardiorespiratory responses during emotional states evoked by negative affective visual stimulation followed by positive or neutral auditory one with intention to identify if the latter is able to facilitate post-stress recovery and enhance restoration of pre-arousal levels. The main orientation was dirdcted towards the further application of experimentally induced comfort emotions for dampening the negative consequences of exposure to stressful stimuli.

The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) developed by Lang and colleagues[1] is widely used in studies relating a variety of physiological indices to subjective emotions. In this study we investigated whether the IAPS can be used for Koreans without significant cultural biases in their subjective emotional reactions. Thirty IAPS picture slides were presented to a group of 52 college students and different 30 slides with similar 3 dimensional emotion ratings to another group of 42 students. Fof each slieds with exposal time of 8sec, subjects were asked to rate on the Semantic Differential Scale (SDS) and Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) in the 3 dimensions of pleasure valence, arousal, and domensions of pleasure valence, arousal, and dominance. Fnctor analysis was done for SDS ratings, and correlations of SDS and SAM were calculated. Eighteen bipolar adjective were grouped into 3 dimensions of pleasure, arousal, dominance showing good agreement with previous study. SAM were calculated. Eighteen bipolar adjectives were grouped into 3 dimensions of pleasure, arousal, dominance showing good agreement with the previous study. SAM ratings were highly corrlated with two of the 6 SDS adjective pairs associated with the pleasure and dominance dimensions, but not with those associated with arousal dimension suggerting some cultural differences.

A wide-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) operation is proposed for premium indoor access points (IAPs). Typically, an omni-directional pattern is used for dipole antennas and a directional radiation pattern is used for patch antennas. In this paper, both antenna types were used to compare their performance with that of the proposed $2{\times}2$ MIMO antenna. We simulated and measured the performance of the MIMO antenna, including the isolation, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), mean effective gain (MEG) for the IAPs, and the throughput, in order to determine its communication quality. The performance of the antennas was analyzed according to the ECC and MEG. The proposed antenna has sufficient performance and excellent characteristics, making it suitable for IAPs. We analyzed the communication performance of wireless networks using the throughput data of a typical office environment. The network throughput of an 802.11n device was used for the comparison and was conducted according to the antenna type. The results showed that the values of the ECC, MEG, and the throughput have unique characteristics in terms of their directivity, antenna gains, isolation, etc. This paper also discusses the communication performance of various aspects of MIMO in multipath situations.

이 연구의 목적은 IAPS(국제정저사진체계) 사진자극에 의해 유발된 각각의 주관적 정서상태에 특정적인 자율신경계 반응이 존재하는지를 규명하는 것이다. 부정적 정서(분노, 슬픔, 놀람)와 긍정적 정서(행복, 흥분)를 유발하는 IAPS사진을 각 60초 동안 제시하였을 때 유발되는 심박률, 호흡률, 피부전도반응을 측정하였다. 시각자극이 주어진 초리 30초 동안 통계적으로 유의미한 심박률 감속 및 호흡률 감소를 보여주었으며, 뚜렷한 피부전도반응이 출현하였다. 심박률 감속은 혐오보다 흥분에서 더 크게 나타났고, 피부전도반응의 진폭은 혐오보다 흥분에서 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 피부전도반응의 진폭이 상승하는 시간은 슬픔, 행복, 놀람보다 혐오에서 더 짧아지는 경향을 보여주었다. 이와 같은 자율신경계 반응(심박률, 호흡률, 피부전도반응)은 정서상태간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보여주며, 특정 정서상태에서 자율신경계 반응은 개인차가 있기는 하지만 전체적으로 매우 전형적인 반응패턴을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 결과는 정서 특정적인 자율신경계 반응이 존재할 가능성을 시사해주며, 생리신호분석을 통해서 심리적 정서를 결정할 수 있는 형판(template)의 구성을 위해서 다양한 자율신경계 정서반응의 지표를 포괄적으로 측정 분석하는 후속연구가 요구된다.

Effective conservation and management of protected areas require monitoring the settlement of invasive alien species and reducing their dispersion capacity. We simulated the potential distribution of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) using three representative species distribution models (Bioclim, GLM, and MaxEnt) based on the IAPS distribution in the forest genetic resource reserve (2,274ha) in Uljin-gun, Korea. We then selected the realistic and suitable species distribution model that reflects the local region and ecological management characteristics based on the simulation results. The simulation predicted the tendency of the IAPS distributed along the linear landscape elements, such as roads, and including some forest harvested area. The statistical comparison of the prediction and accuracy of each model tested in this study showed that the GLM and MaxEnt models generally had high performance and accuracy compared to the Bioclim model. The Bioclim model calculated the largest potential distribution area, followed by GLM and MaxEnt in that order. The Phenomenological review of the simulation results showed that the sample size more significantly affected the GLM and Bioclim models, while the MaxEnt model was the most consistent regardless of the sample size. The optimal model overall for predicting the distribution of IAPS among the three models was the MaxEnt model. The model selection approach based on detailed flora distribution data presented in this study is expected to be useful for efficiently managing the conservation areas and identifying the realistic and precise species distribution model reflecting local characteristics.
