The number of Hi-Pass lanes became 793 lanes at 316 expressway tollgates in 2011 due to the increase in the Hi-Pass use. In spite of the increase in the number of Hi-Pass lanes, there have been increased potential risks in tollgates where vehicles using a Hi-Pass lane must weave with other vehicles using a TCS lane. Therefore, there is a need for study on the safety in tollgates. To this end, this study aims at developing a methodology to evaluate the performance measures of diverse location countermeasures of Hi-Pass lanes in an efficient and systematic way. This study measured the mobility, safety and the convenience of installation and operation of Hi-Pass lanes using a microscopic traffic simulation tool, the surrogate safety assessment model and survey. In addition, this study aggregated the above three performance indexes using weight factors estimated using the AHP technique. For the test site, Dongsuwon interchange was selected. After building the microscopic traffic simulation model for the test site, the location countermeasures of Hi-Pass lanes applicable to the test site were compared with each other in terms of the mobility, safety and installing and operating convenience. As a result, there has been no apparent difference in mobility index based on delays. However, the countermeasures where Hi-Pass lanes are located in inside lanes generally showed better safety performance based on the number of conflicts. In addition, countermeasures with neighboring Hi-Pass lanes were favorable in terms of the safety and the convenience of installation and operation. The methodology proposed in this study was found to be useful to support decision makings by providing critical and quantitative information regarding the mobility, safety and the convenience of installation and operation.

전 세계 인구의 90% 이상은 북반구 지역에 거주하고 있으며, 약 67%는 해안 지역에 거주하고 있다. 최근 기후변화로 인해 해수면 높이가 상승하고 있으며, 태풍, 폭풍해일 등의 자연재해로 인해 해안 지역의 인명과 재산 피해가 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 조석의 영향에 따라 수위 및 유량이 변동하는 특성을 가지고 있는 감조하천의 경우, 만조시에 하천의 유량이 배수되지 않아 홍수피해가 가중되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 조위의 영향을 받는 감조하천의 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 울산 수위시계열을 wavelet 분석, curve fitting, high pass filter 방법을 이용하여 4가지의 성분(조석 성분, 파고성분, 강우-유출 성분, 잡음 성분)으로 분리하고, 분포형 모형인 GRM 모형을 통해 유출량을 산정하였다. 모의 유출량과 강우-유출 성분을 이용하여 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하고, 모의 유출량에 따른 수위를 추정하였다. 나머지 3가지 성분과 합하여 통합 수위를 산정하고 관측 유량과 비교한 결과 오차가 약 10%이내로 감조 하천의 수위를 정확하게 예측할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 감조하천에서 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발할 수 있었으며, 본 연구 결과를 활용하여 유량에 따른 수위를 예측하고 추가적인 다른 성분의 영향을 고려한다면 홍수기에 감조하천의 수위를 원활하게 관리할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

감조하천은 일반하천과 달리 다양한 수문 요소에 영향을 받아 비선형적인 수문 특성을 보이고 있기 때문에 수위-유량 관계곡선식이 개발되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 조위의 영향을 받는 감조하천에서 강우의 영향으로 인한 수위-유량 관계곡선식의 작성 방법론을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 울산 수위시계열을 wavelet 분석, curve fitting, high pass filter 방법을 이용하여 4가지의 성분(조석 성분, 파고 성분, 강우-유출 성분, 잡음 성분)으로 분리하고, 분포형 모형인 GRM 모형을 통해 유출량을 산정하였다. 모의 유출량과 강우-유출 성분을 이용하여 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하고, 모의 유출량에 따른 수위를 추정하였다. 나머지 3가지 성분과 합하여 통합 수위를 산정하고 관측 유량과 비교한 결과 오차가 약 10% 이내로 본 방법론이 적용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과를 활용한다면 홍수기에 감조하천에서 수위를 정확히 예측하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, to investigate the shape of the back bead as a weld quality parameter and to select the optimal condition of the root-pass TIG welding of a horizontal butt-joint, an experimental design and the response surface method (RSM) have been employed. Three parameters are used as input variables, which include the base current, peak current, and welding speed. The back bead width is selected as an output variable representing the weld quality, the target value of the width is 5.4 mm. Conducting the experiments according to the Box-Behnken experimental design, a $2^{nd}$ regression model for the back bead width was made, and the validation of the model was confirmed by using the F-test. The desirability function was designed through the nominal-the-best formula for the appropriate back bead width. Finally, the following optimal condition for welding was selected using the RSM: base current of 0.9204, peak current of 0.8676, and welding speed of 0.3776 in coded values. For verification, a test welding process under the optimal condition was executed and the result showed the back bead width of 5.38 mm that matched the target value well.

In this study, sediment pass-through (SPT) from the Sangju Weir and Gumi Weir in the Nakdong River is analyzed numerically using CCHE2D. Sediment delivery is analyzed to predict the sediment discharge rate in the Sangju Weir and Gumi Weir. The sediment discharge from the Sanju Weir is 4,381 tons in the inflow of $3,857m^3/s$, which are 2 year frequency discharge, for 48 hours, and the sediment discharge is 2,766 tons in the inflow of $1,500m^3/s$. The maximum sediment delivery occurs in the immediate downstream of the weir. The sediment discharge from the Gumi Weir is 3,216 tons in the inflow of $5,400m^3/s$, which are 2 year frequency discharge, for 48 hours, and the sediment discharge is 73 tons in the inflow of $3,857m^3/s$. The maximum sediment delivery occurs in the weir. Therefore, the effectiveness of sediment delivery is high in the condition of the 2 year frequency discharge and the gate in the weirs fully are opened.

This paper theoretically formulated and empirically explored the relationship between exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) for (average) market price and an individual country's price, using steel products data in the US market, with special reference to two major steel exporting countries, Korea and Japan. It was found that the direction of market ERPT can be different from that of individual ERPT that each exporter experiences, due to strategic interactions among producers and different parameters. Vector error correction (VEC) models and impulse response analysis were used with the statistical inference based on the bootstrap-after- bootstrap of Kilian (1998) for short-run, and the fully modified estimation of Phillips and Hansen (1990) was used for long-run. Empirical results indicate that market ERPT in the US market due to changes in Korea-US exchange rates is different from those due to changes in Japan-US exchange rates. The framework developed in this study indicates that this phenomenon is attributed to either (i) the two countries have individual ERPTs of different magnitudes and directions for the products in the US market, or (ii) the pricing strategies of the other exporters' (to the US steel market) respond differently depending on whether the price of the product from Korea changes or that from Japan does. As each exporter's ERPT can be significantly different, and market response to each country's ERPT can be also different, this study concludes that it is crucial for an exporter to understand how competitors in the market respond to changes in its price, as well as to understand how its price changes when the relevant exchange rate fluctuates.

This study aimed to examine a multiple mediator model in which stresses affect self-criticism. The self-criticism, in turn seemed to affect the feelings of loneliness, and this had an effect on over 65 years living alone. Furthermore, whether social support had any moderating effects in the pathway from the loneliness to suicidal ideation on our pass model were also investigated. Data were collected from 572 samples of persons 65 years of age and older living alone in Seoul. For the analyses of the mediating effects and moderating effects, structural equation modeling was used. The results were as follows. First, the pass model was identified to fit the observed data. This mean that self-criticism increased as stress rises, the increased levels of self-criticism increased loneliness, and the increased levels of loneliness increased the levels of suicidal ideation. Second, social support moderated the relation between loneliness and suicidal ideation on our model. These results suggested that interventions which deal with loneliness and suicidal ideation were needed, in order to reduce suicidal ideation caused by the stress. These imply, additionally, that when social workers try to reduce the suicidal ideation, they should consider the levels of social support at work as influences.

The pale chub (Zacco platypus) is a dominant species that migrates locally and inhabits in rivers in Korea. The fish movement at confluences or hydraulic connections is very important especially for the life of small fish as pale chub. If main stream and off-channel habitats are connected with culverts, they would restrict the fish movement due to the high flow velocities and low depths. In foreign conturies, design flow conditions of fish friendly culvert, including flood flow capacity and fish-passage flow capacity, were assigned. Installation of culvert fishways is one way to improve the fish-passing capacity of culverts. On the contrary, in Korea, the design flow of culvert contains only the flood flow capacity. The effect of the fish passage with offset baffles was tested with the fixed velocity method in an experimental flume. As a result, An occasion velocity 1.2m/s, proportional success of pale chubs pass is maximum 20% improve than without baffle flume for energy dissipate. Offset baffle fishway(baffle height 5cm) provides that resting areas and/or a continuous channel of low velocity water in culverts. Especially, short baffle areas are domain where the pale chubs pass. And, FLOW-3D, a three dimentional numerical model, was used in order to evaluate detailed hydraulic characteristics and application possibility in a culvert fishway design.
