  • This study was performed to develop cold-heat and deficiency-excess pattern identification for dementia, as well as for standard Korean medicine diagnosis and treatment. Five experts comprised of 4 neuropsychiatrists of Korean medicine and 1 statistician to develop cold-heat and deficiency-excess pattern identification for dementia. We searched studies about pattern identification and selected 507 articles using Oasis search terms provided by the KIOM. As a result, 10 pattern identification research study were recruited. Moreover, we analyzed neuropsychological assessments for dementia that evaluate Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) and cognitive function using experts conferences and we selected neuropsychological instruments using pattern identification. Six cold patterns, six heat patterns, ten deficiency patterns, and four excess patterns were identified according to the cold-heat and deficiency-excess pattern identification of dementia. We selected the Caregiver-Administered Neuropsychiatric Inventory and the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination as neuropsychological assessments of dementia, which examine behavioral symptoms and cognitive function, suspectively. We formed positive and negative correlation between Korean medicine pattern identification and neuropsychological assessments for dementia. We developed and suggested a forecast module of pattern identification for dementia. But, it is necessary to perform additional clinical trials to verify its validity and accuracy.

  • Hydrogeological survey and geophysical prospecting have been carried out in Saudi Arabia for the purpose of finding groundwater in the soil and rock at the request of General trading company in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The surveyed area is located on $38^{\circ}-39^{\circ}$ 30' in longitude and $26^{\circ}-26^{\circ}$ 30' in latitude. The topography of this area is dominated by northwest southeast mountain range composed mostly of precambrian rocks and basalt of tertiary period. Geology is mainly composed of greenstone, granite, andesite, diorite rhyolite of pre-cambrian era and sandstone of cambrian period which are underlained by basalt and andesite of tertiary period and alluvium of quaternary unconformably. The instruments used in this investigation are TR-18B2 radioactivity unit which isjapanese patented and A.C. Terrameter, a resistivity meter manufactured by ABEM of Stockholm, Sweden. Radioactivity method has been conducted along the Alula-Khaybar road, totally 164Km by the car-borne. As a result of the above survey 16 places have been selected and these anomalies show 1.2N-1.6N compared to background of each area in intensity with width of 10-50m. Resistivity vertical profiling which made use of Schlumberger configuration method has been made over selected areas by radioactivity method to provide hydrogeological information for a water resources survey. The result of resistivity shows that good aquifers are located in the western part of surveyed area where sedimentary rock is distributed. The strata showing 10-50, ${\Omega}-m$ in resistivity are thought to be waterbearing layer. The variations in aquifer resistivity found, are thought to be due to verying clay content, which could be related to aquifer yield. It has proved impossible to detect small salinity variation in the buried aquifer by geophysics. As a result of resistivity prospecting 10 places are recommended to be drilled at the anomalies as shown attached map. yields from the proposed holes have been estimated approximately from $20m^3$ to $200m^3$ per day. Prior to drilling for groundwater, test boring using ${\c}4"$ should be drilled in order to obtain more reliable hydrogeological information for the construction of perfect wells.ells.

  • This paper describes the initial operations and preliminary results of the Instrument for the study of Stable/Storm-time Space (ISSS) onboard the microsatellite Next Generation Small Satellite-1 (NEXTSat-1), which was launched on December 4, 2018 into a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 575 km with an orbital inclination angle of 97.7°. The spacecraft and the instruments have been working normally, and the results from the observations are in agreement with those from other satellites. Nevertheless, improvement in both the spacecraft/instrument operation and the analysis is suggested to produce more fruitful scientific results from the satellite operations. It is expected that the ISSS observations will become the main mission of the NEXTSat-1 at the end of 2020, when the technological experiments and astronomical observations terminate after two years of operation.

  • Constantly enhancing positioning accuracy by the Global Positioning System (GPS) technique is of great importance, but challenging, especially after the GPS positioning technique has been improved considerably during the past two decades. The associated main error sources have been reduced substantially, if not eliminated. Troposhpeic influence with its highly temporal and spatial variability appears to be one of the major error sources. It is hence an increased interest among GPS researchers to reduce the tropospheric influence or delay. Two techniques have been commonly implemented to correct the tropospheric impact. The first technique, known as parameter estimation, characterizes the path delay with empirical models and the parameters of interest are determined from the GPS measurements. The second strategy, termed as external correction, involves independent path delay measurements. The present study is an integration of both techniques in which the parameter estimation as well as external correction are used to correct the path delay for $110{\sim}210$ km range baselines. Twenty-four parameters have been obtained in 24 hours solution by setting the cutoff angle at 3 and 15 degrees for parameter estimation strategy. Measurements from meteorological instruments and water vapor radiometer (WVR) are applied in the GPS data processing, separately, as an external strategy of present research work. Interesting results have been found, indicating more stable repeatability in baseline when the external correction strategy is applied especially with the inclusion of WVR observations. The offset of an order of 1 cm is found in the baselines determined by the two strategies. On the other hand, parameter estimation exhibits more stable in terms of GPS height repeatability. The offset in the GPS height determined by the two strategies is on the order of few centimeters.

  • 북한 우라늄 농축 시설은 국내외적으로 심각한 위협중 하나이다. 특히 우리나라 입장에서는 국가 안보에 관련된 사안이므로 항상 주시하고 대비를 하여야 한다. 북한 미신고 우라늄 농축시설 탐지 가능성을 평가하기 위해 시설로 부터 장 단거리에 따른 공기중 우라늄 농도를 예측하였다. 북한 농축시설에 대해 국제 사회에 알려진 정보와 다른 국가의 농축 시설 운영 데이터를 근거로 북한 시설로부터 공기중으로 누출되는 $UF_6$ 선원항(source terms)을 계산하였다. 계산된 선원항과 영변 주변 기상 자료를 바탕으로 장 단거리 대기 확산 모델 - Gaussian Plume and HYSPLIT Models -을 이용하여 북한 농축시설 주변과 멀리 떨어진 남한 지역에서의 공기중 우라늄 농도를 결정하였다. 최대 공기중 우라늄 농도와 위치는 기상 조건과 방출 높이에 따라 시설 바로 근처와 0.4 km 이내 이고, 농도 약 $1.0{\times}10^{-7}g{\cdot}m^{-3}$로 나타났다. 본 논문의 가정을 적용하였을 때, 수 십 ${\mu}g$ 정도의 우라늄 샘플을 채취할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 이 수십 ${\mu}g$ 우라늄 양은 현대 측정 장비로 어려움 없이 측정 가능한 양이다. 반면에 영변 농축시설에부터 수 백 km이상 떨어진 남한 지역의 농도는 $1.0{\times}10^{-13}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-15}g{\cdot}m^{-3}$이하로 자연 방사성 우라늄 농도보다 낮은 값이다. 따라서 본 논문에 의하면 북한 영변 농축시설 주변에서 공기포집에 의한 신고 및 미신고 핵활동 탐지는 가능하지만 장거리에서는 불가능할 것으로 예측된다.

  • Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate knee muscle strength, balance, and proprioception by walking while giving weight to the ankle joint at a load of 0%, 10%, and 15% gradient on a treadmill. Methods : Twenty-four subjects were divided into three groups. Group A walked on a 0% gradient while giving weight to the ankle joint as a load. Group B walked on a 10% gradient while giving weight to the ankle joint as a load. Group C walked on a 15% gradient while giving weight to the ankle joint as a load. This was performed three times per week for four weeks. The walking speed was set at 4km/hour and the walking time was set at 20 minutes. Measurements were performed before and after the experiment. Biodex medical system and Balance system SD were used as measuring instruments. Results : There was no significant difference between the gradients in muscle strength, balance and proprioception. However, there were differences in pretest and posttest measurements for muscle strength, balance and proprioception in each gradient. In particular, the gradient of 10% showed a significant difference. Conclusion : According to the results of this study, to use a 10% gradient is effective when walking while giving weight to the ankle joint as a load.

  • Exploration of asteroids' internal structure is essential for understanding their evolutional history. It also provides a fundamental information about the history of coalescence and collision of the solar system. Among several models of the internal structures, the rubble-pile model, confirmed by the near-Earth asteroid (25143) Itokawa by Hayabusa mission [1], is now widely regarded as the most common to asteroids with size ranging from 200 m to 10 km [2]. On the contrary, monolithic and core-mantle structures are also possible for small asteroids [3]. It is, however, still challenging to look through the interior of a target object using remote-sensing devices. In this presentation, we introduce our ongoing research conducted at Seoul National and propose an idea to infer the internal structure of Apophis using available instruments. Itokawa's research provides an important benchmark for Apophis exploration because both asteroids have similar size and composition [4][5]. We have conducted research on Itokawa's evolution in terms of collision and space weathering. Space weathering is the surface alteration process caused by solar wind implantation and micrometeorite bombardment [6]. Meanwhile, resurfacing via a collision acts as a counter-process of space weathering by exposing fresh materials under the matured layer and lower the overall degree of space weathering. Therefore, the balance of these two processes determine the space weathering degrees of the asteroid. We focus on the impact evidence on the boulder surface and found that space weathering progresses in only 100-10,000 years and modifies the surface optical properties (Jin & Ishiguro, KAS 2020 Fall Meeting). It is important to note that the timescale is significantly shorter than the Itokawa's age, suggesting that the asteroid can be totally processed by space weathering. Accordingly, our result triggers a further discussion about why Itokawa indicates a moderately fresh spectrum (Sq-type denotes less matured than S-type). For example, Itokawa's smooth terrains show a weaker degree of space weathering than other S-type asteroids [7]. We conjecture that the global seismic shaking caused by collisions with >1 mm-sized interplanetary dust particles induces granular convection, which hinders the progression of space weathering [8]. Note that the efficiency of seismic wave propagation is strongly dependent on the internal structure of the asteroid. Finally, we consider possible approaches to investigate Apophis's internal structure. The first idea is studying the space weathering age, as conducted for Itokawa. If Apophis indicates a younger age, the internal structure would have more voids [9]. In addition, the 2029 close encounter with Earth provides a rare natural opportunity to witness the contrast between before and after the event. If the asteroid exhibits a slight change in shape and space weathering degree, one can determine the physical structure of the internal materials (e.g., rubble-pile monolithic, thick or thin regolith layer, the cohesion of the materials). We will also consider a possible science using a seismometer.

  • 지난 반세기동안 세계 각국에서 쏘아올린 인공위성 등 각종 우주물체들로 인하여 우주환경을 오염시키는 우주폐기물이나 잔해들이 기하급수적으로 늘어나고 특히 지구궤도에 널린 수만개 이상의 고장난 위성과 파편, 쓰레기들은 우주 관측과 위성 송수신에 오류를 일으키거나 우주정거장이나 위성 등 우주비행체와 충돌위험을 야기하고 있다. 예컨대 지난 2009년 2월 기능정지된 위성들인 미국 이리듐사의 통신위성 이리듐 33호와 러시아의 코스모스 2251호의 충돌은 수많은 파편과 더불어 지구와 우주환경에 심각한 위협이 되었으며 또한 2007년 1월 중국에 의한 자국위성 파괴실험은 보다 커다란 우주의 남용 사례로서 우주의 안전을 저해한다는 점에서 국제적인 비난을 불러 일으켰다. 실제로 우주환경이나 폐기물에 관한 문제들이 상당기간동안 과학적 연구와 논의의 대상이 되어온 것은 사실이나 주지하다시피 우주개발의 초기단계에서는 우주활동을 위한 기본 규칙제정을 위한 법적 성격의 규명이나 우주탐사와 이용에 필요한 기준을 마련하는데 주안점을 두어왔다. 따라서 결과적으로 우주활동과정에서 야기될지 모르는 환경훼손의 문제나 위험요소들은 국제우주법의 발전이라는 맥락에서도 우선순위에서 밀렸다는 사실을 지적하지 않을 수 없다. 지금까지 우주폐기물이 우주활동의 양적인 증가와 더불어 늘어났다는 시각외에도 임무실패나 상호 충돌 및 고의적인 파괴나 폭발 등으로 인해 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있다는 사실을 고려할 때 과거에는 뒷전에 밀렸던 우주폐기물 양산에 따른 안전 문제가 차츰 우선적 관심의 대상으로 부각되고 있는 바 이러한 추세는 최근의 UN의 페기물 경감 가이드라인이나 EU 행동규범 등 갖가지 국제협력과 규범화차원의 노력들을 통해 확인할 수 있을 것이다. 이들 가이드 라인이나 행동규범 등 연성법을 통해 각 회원국과 국제기구는 국제적 이행절차 및 각자의 고유한 집행절차에 따라 우주폐기물의 경감에 있어서 가능한 최대한 도로 이행하는 자발적 조치를 취하는 유통성을 부여하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 관점에서 최근 중국에 의한 위성파괴와 관련한 적법성 여하와 국제사회의 우주폐기물에 대한 경감 등 대응 노력과 과제 등을 살펴보고자 하였다.
