  • In order to find out the cause of plant injury, the symptom of plant injury, and contents of element concerned in the plant were analysed. Also, a case study was conducted to find out the factor of plant injury at a agriculture and industry complex in Gyeongsang province in 2004. The distribution of isomeric curve was made with meteorological data, toxic gas concentration exhausted from pollution source. The general symptom of plant injury by ammonia gas was dry and dead of leaves with white color. At low concentration of ammonia gas, plant leaf showed spots of reddish brown. The characteristic of plant injury symptom by hydrogen fluoride gas was that the symptom was appeared at the edge of leaf. The isomeric curve of sulfur dioxide at the region, where the plant was damaged, showed that the area was affected by exhausted gas from the pollution source. Especially, this area was affected more deeply at summer than any other season.

  • The development of autonomous vehicles are currently being actively carried out by various companies and research institutes. Expectations for commercialization in daily life as well as specific industries are also rising. Simulators for autonomous vehicles are an essential element in algorithm development and execution considering stability and cost. In this need, various simulators and platforms for simulators are emerging, but research on simulations that reflect various meteorological environmental factors in the real world is still insufficient. This paper proposes a traffic simulation for autonomous vehicles that can consider the weather environment. The weather environment that can be set is largely classified into four categories, and an improved collision prevention algorithm to apply them is presented. Simulation development was conducted through Carla's Python API, a development tool for autonomous driving, and the performance results were compared with existing collision algorithms. Through this, we tried to propose improvements for the development of advanced self-driving vehicle simulations that can reflect various weather environmental factors in real life.

  • This study evaluates the economic values for the several first precipitation events during Changma period. The selected three years are 2015, 2019, and 2020, where average precipitation amounts across the 58 Korean stations are 12.8, 20.1 and 13.3 mm, respectively. The four categories are used to assess the values including air quality improvement, water resource acquisition/accumulation, drought mitigation, and forest fire prevention/recovery. Economic values for these three years are estimated 50~150 billion won. Among the four factors considered, the effect of air quality improvement is most highly valued, amounting to 70 to 90% of the total economic values. Wet decomposition of air pollution (PM10, NO2, CO, and SO2) is the primary reason. The next valuable element is water resource acquisition, which is estimated 9~15 billion won. Effects of drought mitigation and fire prevention are deemed relatively small. This study is the first to estimate the value of the precipitation events during Changma onset. An analysis for more Changma years will be performed to achieve a more reliable estimate.
