Spectral induced polarization (SIP) is a useful technique, which uses electrochemical properties, for exploration of metallic sulfide minerals. Equivalent circuit analysis is commonly conducted to calculate IP parameters from SIP data. An equivalent circuit model, which indicates the SIP response of rock, has a non-uniqueness problem. For this reason, it is very important to select the proper model for accurate analysis. Thus, this study focused on suggesting a new model, which suitable for the analysis of an anomalous SIP response, such as ore. A suitability of the new model was verified by comparing it with the existing Dias model and Cole-Cole models. Analysis errors were represented as a normalized root mean square error (NRMSE). The analysis result using the Dias model was the NRMSE of 10.50% and was the NRMSE using the Cole-Cole model of 17.03%. Howerver, because the NRMSE of the new model is 0.87%, it is considered that the new model is more useful for analyzing the anomalous SIP data than other models.

The continuing urbanization and industrialization around the world has required a large amount of power. Therefore, construction of major infrastructure, including nuclear power plants in coastal areas, has accelerated. In addition, the intensity of natural disasters is increasing due to global warming and abnormal climate phenomena. Natural disasters are difficult to predict in terms of occurrence, location, and scale, resulting in human casualties and property damage. For these reasons, the disaster scale and damage estimation in coastal areas have become important issues. The present study examined the predictable weather data and regional ratings and developed estimating functions for wind wave damage based on the disaster statistics in the southern areas. The results of the present study are expected to help disaster management in advance of the wind wave damage. The NRMSE was used for verification. The accuracy of the NRMSE results ranged from 1.61% to 21.73%.

This paper describes a real-time isometric pinch force prediction algorithm from surface electromyogram (sEMG) using multilayer perceptron (MLP) for human robot interactive applications. The activities of seven muscles which are observable from surface electrodes and also related to the movements of the thumb and index finger joints were recorded during pinch force experiments. For the successful implementation of the real-time prediction algorithm, an off-line analysis was performed using the recorded activities. Four muscles were selected for the force prediction by using the Fisher linear discriminant analysis among seven muscles, and the four muscle activities provided effective information for mapping sEMG to the pinch force. The MLP structure was designed to make training efficient and to avoid both under- and over-fitting problems. The pinch force prediction algorithm was tested on five volunteers and the results were evaluated using two criteria: normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) and correlation (CORR). The training time for the subjects was only 2 min 29 sec, but the prediction results were successful with NRMSE = 0.112 ${\pm}$ 0.082 and CORR = 0.932 ${\pm}$ 0.058. These results imply that the proposed algorithm is useful to measure the produced pinch force without force sensors in real-time. The possible applications include controlling bionic finger robot systems to overcome finger paralysis or amputation.

지표수문해석모형이란 전 지구를 대상으로 수문해석 및 예측이 가능한 분포형 수문모형이다. 본 연구에서는 CSEOF(Cyclostationary Empirical Orthogonal Functions) 분석 방법을 이용하여 지표수문해석 모형 중 하나인 VIC(Variable Infiltration Capacity)모형의 토양수분 모의 성능을 평가해보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 남한에 대한 VIC 모형으로 모의한 토양수분 예측 결과와 관측자료를 수집하였다. 모의 성능 평가 기간은 1976년부터 2006년까지이다. 이후 본 연구에서는 수집된 VIC 모형의 예측 결과와 관측 자료에 대한 CSEOF 분석을 수행하여 각 자료의 월별 주된 변동 특성을 추출하였다. VIC 모형의 예측 결과와 관측자료의 상관관계는 CSEOF 분석 결과에 대한 Pattern Correlation으로 정량화되었다. 이와 더불어 본 연구에서는 모형의 모의 성능 평가에 주로 사용되는 NRMSE(Nomalized Root Mean Square Error)를 산정하여 예측 결과의 오차를 평가하였다. Pattern Correlation과 NRMSE를 모두 고려하여 VIC 모형의 성능을 평가해본 결과, 건기에 해당하는 기간과 우기에 해당하는 기간의 모의 성능이 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후에 지표수문해석 모형의 예측 결과를 이용하는 기후변화 관련 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

대설은 일반적으로 해양과 대륙의 온도차가 큰 지역, 바다·호수와 같이 상대적으로 따뜻한 곳이 인접해 있어 기단 변질이 잘 일어나는 지역, 산악에 의해 습윤한 공기가 강제 상승되는 지역에서 자주 발생한다. 우리나라는 찬 대륙고기압 공기가 해수 온도 차로 눈 구름대가 만들어지거나, 고기압 가장자리에서 한기를 동반한 상층 기압골이 우리나라 상공을 통과하면서 대설이 발생한다. 최근 우리나라에서 빈번하게 발생하는 대설피해는 직접피해와 간접피해로 나뉘며, 이에 따라 사회·경제적으로 막대한 피해를 야기한다. 우리나라 대설피해양상은 지역적 특성, 방재 대책, 대처능력 등에 따라 달라지는 것이 특징이며, 지역적으로 다르게 발생하는 대설피해를 효과적으로 대비할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지역적 특성을 고려한 차등화된 대설 피해를 예측하는 연구를 진행하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 기상요소 및 사회·경제적 요소 등을 입력자료로 활용하고, DPSIR 분석을 통해 Red Zone, Orange Zone, Yellow Zone, Green Zone으로 위험 등급을 분류 및 등급 별 대설피해 예측기법을 개발하였다. 최종적으로 1994년부터 2020년까지의 과거 대설 피해액 자료와 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 기법을 개발하였고, 기법의 예측력 평가를 위해 RMSE와 RMSE를 표준화한 NRMSE의 두 가지 통계 지표를 사용하여 평가하였다. 모형별 예측력 평가 결과 Yellow 등급 모형이 가장 우수한 예측력을 보였다. 추후 본 연구결과를 통해 대설피해 범위를 예측하는 연구가 진행된다면 사전에 대설피해에 대한 대응방안 수립과 지역별제설 우선순위를 결정할 수 있는 지표가 개발될 것으로 기대된다.

Not only South Korea but also Global world show that the frequency and damages of large-scale natural disaster due to the rise of heavy rain event and typhoon or hurricane intensity are increasing. Natural disasters such as typhoon, flood, heavy rain, strong wind, wind wave, tidal wave, tide, heavy snow, drought, earthquake, yellow dust and so on, are difficult to estimate the scale of damage and spot. Also, there are many difficulties to take action because natural disasters don't appear precursor phenomena However, if scale of damage can be estimated, damages would be mitigated through the initial damage action. In the present study, therefore, wind wave damage estimation functions for the western coastal zone are developed based on annual disaster reports which were published by the Ministry of Public Safety and Security. The wind wave damage estimation functions were distinguished by regional groups and facilities and NRMSE (Normalized Root Mean Square Error) was analyzed from 1.94% to 26.07%. The damage could be mitigated if scale of damage can be estimated through developed functions and the proper response is taken.

Positron emission tomography (PET) images is affected by acquisition time, short acquisition times results in low gamma counts leading to degradation of image quality by statistical noise. Noise2Void(N2V) is self supervised denoising model that is convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning. The purpose of this study is to evaluate denoising performance of N2V for PET image with a short acquisition time. The phantom was scanned as a list mode for 10 min using Biograph mCT40 of PET/CT (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). We compared PET images using NEMA image-quality phantom for standard acquisition time (10 min), short acquisition time (2min) and simulated PET image (S2 min). To evaluate performance of N2V, the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), normalized root mean square error (NRMSE), structural similarity index (SSIM) and radio-activity recovery coefficient (RC) were used. The PSNR, NRMSE and SSIM for 2 min and S2 min PET images compared to 10min PET image were 30.983, 33.936, 9.954, 7.609 and 0.916, 0.934 respectively. The RC for spheres with S2 min PET image also met European Association of Nuclear Medicine Research Ltd. (EARL) FDG PET accreditation program. We confirmed generated S2 min PET image from N2V deep learning showed improvement results compared to 2 min PET image and The PET images on visual analysis were also comparable between 10 min and S2 min PET images. In conclusion, noisy PET image by means of short acquisition time using N2V denoising network model can be improved image quality without underestimation of radioactivity.

This study was aimed to visualize the spatial distribution of PM₁₀ data measured at non-uniformly distributed observation sites in South Korea. Different spatial interpolation methods were applied to irregularly distributed PM₁₀ observation data from January, 2019, when the concentration was the highest and in July, 2019, when the concentration was the lowest. Four interpolation methods with different parameters were used: Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), Ordinary Kriging (OK), radial base function, and scattered interpolation. Six cases were cross-validated and the normalized root-mean-square error for each case was compared. The results showed that IDW using smoothing-related factors was the most appropriate method, while the OK method was least appropriate. Our results are expected to help users select the proper spatial interpolation method for PM₁₀ data analysis with comparative reliability and effectiveness.

Solar radiation that is measured at relatively small number of weather stations is one of key inputs to crop models for estimation of crop productivity. Solar radiation products derived from GK-2A and Himawari 8 satellite data have become available, which would allow for preparation of input data to crop models, especially for assessment of crop productivity under an agrivoltaic system where crop and power can be produced at the same time. The objective of this study was to compare the degree of agreement between the solar radiation products obtained from those satellite data. The sub hourly products for solar radiation were collected to prepare their daily summary for the period from May to October in 2020 during which both satellite products for solar radiation were available. Root mean square error (RMSE) and its normalized error (NRMSE) were determined for daily sum of solar radiation. The cumulative values of solar radiation for the study period were also compared to represent the impact of the errors for those products on crop growth simulations. It was found that the data product from the Himawari 8 satellite tended to have smaller values of RMSE and NRMSE than that from the GK-2A satellite. The Himawari 8 satellite product had smaller errors at a large number of weather stations when the cumulative solar radiation was compared with the measurements. This suggests that the use of Himawari 8 satellite products would cause less uncertainty than that of GK2-A products for estimation of crop yield. This merits further studies to apply the Himawari 8 satellites to estimation of solar power generation as well as crop yield under an agrivoltaic system.
