Objectives This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Sibjeondaebotanggamibang (SJT) on the wound-induced rats. Methods It was observed the effects of anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation by using of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. For the observing on SJT anti-oxidation, it needed to mesure the total amount of polyphenol, DPPH scavenging ability, ABTS scavenging ability and the value of ROS production. In order to observe on the anti-inflammation of SJT, it was mesured the value of No and Cytokine (TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6). It needed to make a scar (around $2{\times}2cm^2$) on the top of the fascia in the back of the rats and then the rats were divided into 4 groups (n=6). Control group was not treated at all, whereas SJ group was orally medicated SJT, Terra group was per-cutaneously applied Terramycin, and SJ+Terra group was both orally medicated SJT and percutaneously applied Terramycin per day for three weeks. The size of wound was measured with Digimatic Caliper and the blood samples (WBC, neutrophil, monocyte, lymphocyte) were analyzed using Minos-ST, which were collected by cardiac puncture. The effect on inflammatory cytokine (TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6), immunological cells in synovial fluid was measured. To measure the wound factor expressed by wounded skin sample, we extracted RNA and to investigate MMP-1,2,9 we used RT-PCR. For performing histopathological examinations, we paralyzed the rats by ether, and extracted wounded skin tissues, which were measured by H & E, and monitored on the optical microscope. Results 1. DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity of SJT was increased concentration-dependantly, and ROS scavenging activity was significantly increased (10, $100{\mu}g/ml$). 2. NO production was significantly reduced in SJT treated cells ($100{\mu}g/ml$), both TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 in SJT treated cells (1, 10, $100{\mu}g/ml$), and IL-$1{\beta}$ in SJT treated cells (1, $100{\mu}g/ml$). 1. The size of wound was significantly decreasing in SJ group, Terra group, SJ+Terra group. 2. WBC was significantly reduced in SJ and SJ+Terra group, monocyte in SJ+Terra group. Neutrophil was also reduced in SJ, SJ+Terra group but meaningless. 3. TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 were significantly reduced in SJ group, Terra group, SJ+Terra group, and IL-$1{\beta}$ in SJ+Terra group. 4. mRNA expression in MMP-1 was significantly reduced in SJ group. 5. Collegan production and chronic inflammation were significantly decreased in SJ group, Terra group, SJ+Terra groups. Re-epithelization on the skin in Terra group, SJ+Terra groups was decreased. Conclusions According to this in vitro experiment, Sibjeondaebotanggamibang (SJT) has the effects of anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory. By in vivo experiment, SJT has the effects of anti-inflammatory. Moreover, the progress of recovery was found visually, heamatologically, genetically and histopathologically. In conclusion, it could be thought that SJT has effect on the treating of wound.

The main objective of the research is a feasibility study on the intertidal zone using a X-band radar satellite, TerraSAR-X. The TerraSAR-X data have been acquired in the west coast of Korea where large tidal flats, Ganghwa and Yeongjong tidal flats, are developed. Investigations include: 1) waterline and backscattering characteristics of the high resolution X-band images in tidal flats; 2) polarimetric signature of halophytes (or salt marsh plants), specifically Suaeda japonica; and 3) phase and coherence of interferometric pairs. Waterlines from TerraSAR-X data satisfy the requirement of horizontal accuracy of 60 m that corresponds to 20 cm in average height difference while current other spaceborne SAR systems could not meet the requirement. HH-polarization was the best for extraction of waterline, and its geometric position is reliable due to the short wavelength and accurate orbit control of the TerraSAR-X. A halophyte or salt marsh plant, Suaeda japonica, is an indicator of local sea level change. From X-band ground radar measurements, a dual polarization of VV/VH-pol. is anticipated to be the best for detection of the plant with about 9 dB difference at 35 degree incidence angle. However, TerraSAR-X HH/TV dual polarization was turned to be more effective for salt marsh monitoring. The HH-HV value was the maximum of about 7.9 dB at 31.6 degree incidence angle, which is fairly consistent with the results of X-band ground radar measurement. The boundary of salt marsh is effectively traceable specifically by TerraSAR-X cross-polarization data. While interferometric phase is not coherent within normal tidal flat, areas of salt marsh where the landization is preceded show coherent interferometric phases regardless of seasons or tide conditions. Although TerraSAR-X interferometry may not be effective to directly measure height or changes in tidal flat surface, TanDEM-X or other future X-band SAR tandem missions within one-day interval would be useful for mapping tidal flat topography.

Thermal infrared images of Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-7 ETM+ sensors have been unrivalled sources of high resolution thermal remote sensing (60m for ETM+, 120m for TM) for more than two decades. Atmospheric effect that degrades the accuracy of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) measurement significantly, however, can not be corrected as the sensors have only one thermal channel. Recently, MODIS sensor onboard Terra satellite is equipped with dual-thermal channels (31 and 32) of which the difference of at-satellite brightness temperature can provide atmospheric correction with 1km resolution. In this study we corrected the atmospheric effect of Landsat SST by using MODIS data obtained almost simultaneously. As a case study, we produced the Landsat SST near the eastern and western coast of Korea. Then we have obtained Terra/MODIS image of the same area taken approximately 30 minutes later. Atmospheric correction term was calculated by the difference between the MODIS SST (Level 2) and the SST calculated from a single channel (31 of Level 1B). This term with 1km resolution was used for Landsat SST atmospheric correction. Comparison of in situ SST measurements and the corrected Landsat SSTs has shown a significant improvement in $R^2$ from 0.6229 to 0.7779. It is shown that the combination of the high resolution Landsat SST and the Terra/MODIS atmospheric correction can be a routine data production scheme for the thermal remote sensing of ocean.

It is possible to extract qualified ground control points (GCPs) solely from SAR data without published maps. TerraSAR-X is now in orbit and provides valuable data that have one of the highest spatial resolutions among civilian SAR systems. In this study, a sophisticated method for GCP coordinate extraction from TerraSAR-X stripmap mode data with a 3 m resolution was tested and the quality of the extracted GCPs was evaluated. An inverse-geolocation algorithm was applied to obtain GCPs from TerraSAR-X data. SRTM 90m DEM was used as an auxiliary data set for azimuth time correction of the SAR data. Mean values of the distance errors were 0.11 m and -3.96 m with standard deviations of 6.52 m and 5.11 m in easting and northing, respectively. The result is one of the best among GCPs possibly extracted from current civilian remote sensing systems. The extracted GCPs were used for geo-rectification of an IKONOS image, which demonstrated the applicability of the GCPs to geo-rectification of high resolution optic image. The method used in this study can be applied to KOMPSAT-5 for geo-rectification of high-resolution optic images acquired by KOMPSAT-2 or follow-up missions.

The present study aims to show how the problem of reproducing, as closely as possible, binders of historic mortars by mixing raw materials which are commercially available, can be formulated as a linear optimization problem. The study points out that by mixing five standard raw materials (end-members) it is possible to obtain mortar binders with the almost same chemical compositions of those determined on the historic and archaeological mortar samples studied in some recent scientific papers. An advanced function of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the Solver add-in, was used for the calculation of the right amount of each raw material to be mixed for producing the new binders. This approach could be useful to provide an optimal solution in the process of restoration of ancient monuments, where it is necessary to replace the historic mortars with new highly compatible repair mortars.

본 논문에서는 DLR(German Aerospace Center)에서 운영하는 TerraSAR-X를 이용하여 2009년 1월 19일 18:28 (Local time) 에 서해 대부도/제부도 및 대부도 남쪽 해안을 촬영한 stripmap mode (Dual-Pol: HH, VV) 화상을 취득하여 향후 고해상도 X-밴드 화상의 활용 방안 및 효용성에 대해 검토해 보았다. 함께 취득된 현장자료와의 비교를 통하여 2010 년에 발사될 예정인 아리랑 5 호의 활용방안을 찾고자 한다. 여기서는, 연안에 설치된 양식시설, 소형 선박 그리고 코너리플렉터에 대해서 해석을 수행하였다. 김 양식시설의 경우, 구조와 설치 각도에 따라 다른 후방산란특성을 보였으며, 같은 시설에 대해서도 HH 편파의 후방산란계수가 VV 보다 2.6 dB 높게 나타났다. 그 이유는 김 양식시설이 TeraSAR-X의 전파전파 방향과 수직하게 되어 후방 산란이 많이 일어나는 반면에, B 지역에 설치된 김 양식시설은 TeraSAR-X의 전파전파방향과 약 45 도 비스듬하게 설치되어 있어, 상대적으로 낮은 후방산란계수를 나타내기 때문이다. 또한 한 변의 길이가 각각 1 m, 0.6 m 인 사각면 삼각 수동 전파반사기 두 개를 제부도 북쪽의 갯벌에 설치하여 TerraSAR-X 의 화상에 나타난 후방산란특성을 분석하였다. TerraSAR-X 의 화상이 X-밴드를 사용하고, 높은 해상도로 인해 power spill이 넓게 분포하는 것을 볼 수 있다.

우리나라의 가뭄은 통계적으로 5~6년 주기로 발생해 왔으나 최근에는 가뭄의 발생 빈도가 점점 증가하고 주기 또한 짧아지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 가뭄의 패턴 또한 지속적이고 국지적으로 강하게 나타내는 경향이 있어 피해가 심각해지고 있다. 2017년도에는 모내기가 시작되어야 할 시기에 극심한 물 부족으로 이앙시기가 지연되고 밭작물이 마르는 피해를 겪었다. 국가가뭄정보센터의 2017년 가뭄예경보 자료에 따르면, 1~7월에는 안성, 서산, 홍성 지역을 중심으로, 7~9월에는 남해안지역을 중심으로, 10월~12월에는 울주, 경주, 밀양 지역을 중심으로 가뭄이 나타났음을 확인 할 수 있다. 가뭄 파악을 위한 방법 중 하나로 인공위성영상을 활용한 원격탐사 기법이 있으며, 국내에서는 관측주기가 짧고 관측폭이 넓은 Terra MODIS 영상을 활용하는 연구 사례를 다수 찾아볼 수 있다. 최근에는 드론에 NIR, 열화상, 초분광 카메라 등을 탑재하여 탐지범위가 국소적이지만 가뭄에 따른 작물의 상태를 보다 상세하게 파악하기 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 드론을 이용한 가뭄지역의 영상특성을 분석하는 기초자료를 구축하기 위하여 2017년 극심한 가뭄이 발생하였던 안성지역을 대상으로 Terra MODIS NDVI를 이용한 식생상태지수(VCI), 정규식생지수(SVI)를 분석하여 가뭄으로 추정되는 드론촬영 대상지역을 파악하였으며, 선정된 지역을 대상으로 R-G-NIR 카메라를 탑재한 드론 촬영을 실시하였다. 드론영상의 전처리를 통하여 고해상도 NDVI영상을 작성하고 지상의 작물 및 토지이용 상태에 따른 NDVI 분포특성과 Terra MODIS NDVI와의 차이점을 분석하였다.

Micrometeorlogical and upper air observation have been conducted in order to determine the atmospheric boundary layer depth based on data from satellite and automatic weather systems. Terra/MODIS temperature profiles and sensible heat fluxes from the gradient method were used to estimate the mixed layer height over a coastal region. Results of the integral model were in good agreement with the mixed layer height observed using GPS radiosonde at Wolsung ($35.72^{\circ}N$, $129.48^{\circ}E$). Since the variation of the mixed layer height depends on the surface sensible heat flux, the integral model estimated properly the mixed layer height in the daytime. The buoyant heat flux, which is more important than the sensible heat flux in the coastal region, must be taken into consideration to improve the integral model. The vertical structure of atmospheric boundary layer can be analyzed only with the routine data and the satellite data.
