The subject of this paper is research into the application of resistivity/SP monitoring to detecting the water leakage of water utilization facilities. For this purpose, we installed a comprehensive monitoring system consisting of resistivity/SP measurement, inclinometer, piezometer, and water gauge at an embankment, Using this monitoring system, we monitored the various kinds of measurement data and compared the resistivity structures and SP variations that of hydrological and engineering data in order to investigate the water leakage and stability of the embankment. The variations of resistivity and SP at the embankment were provided from the monitoring data and we could accurately locate the portions of which resistivities and SP have sharply changed, Furthermore, we could estimate the stability of the embankment more effectively and quantitatively by jointly interpreting the monitoring data of resistivity and SP, water level, pore water pressure, and subsurface displacement. The monitoring experiments in this study led us to the conclusion that for the efficient maintenance of the water utilization facilities, monitoring the resistivity and SP data would be much more preferable to performing the just one-time measurements.

Recently, researches related with automative mechanism have been widely studied to increase the driver's safety by continuously monitoring the driver's health condition to prevent driver's drowsiness. This paper describes the design of wearable chest belt for ECG and reflectance pulse oximetry for SpO2 sensors based on wireless sensor network to monitor the driver's healthcare status. ECG, SpO2 and heart rate signals can be transmitted via wireless sensor node to base station connected to the server. Intelligent monitoring system is designed at the server to analyze the SpO2 and ECG signals. HRV (Heart Rate Variability) signals can be obtained by processing the ECG and PPG signals. HRV signals are further analyzed based on time and frequency domain to determine the driver's drowsiness status.

비침습적 맥파측정은 일상생활에서 손쉽게 활용이 가능하며 맥파신호의 계측을 통하여 건강모니터링을 함으로서 사용자의 지속적인 건강관리에 도움이 된다. 일반적인 맥파 측정을 위해선 경동맥, 대퇴골, 요골 동맥을 포함 만져서 할 수 있는 동맥에서 측정되거나 맥파 측정장비를 사용하여 측정하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실시간 맥파측정과 병행하여 산소포화도의 모니터링을 위해 손목착용형 시스템을 구현하고 산소포화도의 추정 정확도를 높이기 위하여 광보정기법을 적용하였다. 실제 자연광 상태에서의 측정된 신호를 이용하여 광보정기법을 적용한 산소포화도 모니터링 기법을 적용하고 그 성능평가를 수행하였다.

We applied both SP monitoring and pole-pole array resistivity surveys and SP survey and dipole-dipole array resistivity survey to leakage problems in several embankments and dike, respectively, to estimate and detect the zone of leakage. The embankment is generally affected by tidal variation and has low resistivity characteristics due to the high saturation of seawater. According to this situation, SP monitoring and resistivity survey using pole-pole electrode array, which is relatively more effective to the conductive media, were carried out to delineate the leakage zones of sea water through the embankment. We checked out electrical conductivity(EC) and temperature variations along the inner part of the embankment to detect the zone of seawater leakage and found that the measured EC value agreed to that of seawater in the leakage zone and the temperature was lower than that of the vicinity of leakage zone. SP monitoring results were coincide with tidal variations at each embankment. Based on the survey results, it is concluded that both SP monitoring and the pole-pole array resistivity method are quite effective for investigation of seawater leakage zones in the embankment.

We practiced fresh water injection test to identify its applibility as a method of seawater intrusion mitigation technique, and monitored the change of borehole fluid conductivity and the behavior of injected fresh water using borehole multichannel electrical conductivity monitoring and well-logging, and DC resistivity and SP monitoring at the surface. Well-logging and multichannel EC monitoring showed the decrease of fluid conductivity due to fresh water injection. We note that such an injection effect lasts more than several month which means the applibility of fresh water injection as a seawater intrusion control technique. Although SP monitoring did not show meaningful results because of weather condition during monitoring and the defects of electrodes due to long operation time, DC resistivity monitoring showed its effectiveness and applicability as a monitoring and assessment techniques of injection test by means of imaging the behavior and the front of fresh water body in terms of the increase of resistivity with reasonable resolution. In conclusion, we note that geophysical techniques can be an effective method of monitoring and evaluation of fresh water injection test, and expect that fresh water injection may be an practical method for the mitigation of seawater intrusion when applied with optimal design of injection well distribution and injection rate based on geophysical evaluation.

This paper describes design of a real-time, wearable reflectance pulse oximetry which is based Wireless Sensor Network. For the purpose of continuously monitoring vital signs of a human, wearable reflectance pulse oximetry is built into a wrist type that can be obtained $SpO_2$ value of patient unobtrusively. This designed $SpO_2$ module is based on a low-power 8 bit ATmega128L microcontroller operating in 3V. Low power operating $SpO_2$ module was integrated to wireless sensor node for user's health monitoring. This paper is focused on the successful integration of all these components into wearable reflectance pulse oximetry and evaluates its ability to measure patient' $SpO_2$ value. Information from this sensor was wirelessly transmitted to a base-station for storage and display purposes.

The use of biological indicator for environmental monitoring has suddenly become popular in many international organizations as well as domestic ones. Since the biological indicator species should be well responsive to native environmental change, development of native indicator species is prerequisite for environmental assessment and restoration program. Through regression analysis of mean density and pH, potential indicator species were screened from Namsan and Kwangreung where differential environmental stresses are influenced; Lasiobelba remota, Ceratozetes sp. Tectocepheus velatus, Neogymnobates sp. and Oppia sp.3. Also keystone species in two study area were Lohmannia coreana, Ceratozetes sp., Rostrozetes pulcherrimus, and Lasiobelba remota in Namsan Deciduous forest and Neogymnobates sp., Neogymnobates donghaksaensis, and Cultroribula tridentata in Kwangreung. Advantages and disadvantages of using biological indicator for environmental monitoring were further discussed.
