The authors designed a new technique to measure dielectric constant of a soil media by Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) system and its measurement sensor probe with different length such as 7m, 10cm and 15cm for estimating the variations of dielectric constant. Measurement of dielectric constant of soil material is possible to measure an interference wave generated by between incidence wave and reflection wave which are detected to electro-magnetic wave through the directional coupler at the high frequency range,0.1 to 1.7GHz, by FDR system. The obtained experimental results verified that the technique is very promising for non-destructive and continuous soil volumetric water content measurement monitoring in a laboratory. The relationship between the soil volumetric water content and the dielectric constant of soil media (standard sand) was expressed by a single regression ewe independent of soil texture at a small experimental error. Also the derived regression curve coincided well with that obtained by Topp curve.

Back-pyun is a kind of rice cake made by steaming rice flour added sugar, water and salt and garnished with shredded chestnuts, dates, mushrooms and pinenuts. The Back-pyun has been widely used in Korean celebrations. This study aimed to compare and determine the effects on sensory characteristics and texture of Back-pyun 1) when the proportion of glutinous rice, added i.1 making Back-pyun, is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% 2) then it reheated after storage for 0,24, 48 and 72 hours. Evaluation was conducted through sensory evaluation and objective evaluation. The results are as follows : 1. In sensory evaluation, color of Back-pyun turned yellow as the addition level of glutinous rice increased and then by reheating after storage for 24, 48 and 73 hours. Coarseness was not significantly different as the addition level of glutinous rice increased before storage. But Back-pyun reheated after storage for 24,48 and 72 hours were significantly different by the addition level of glutinous rice. Softness, dryness and crumblyness tended to decrease as the addition level of glutinous rice increased and by reheating after storage for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The most favorite tendency on the appearance was at the addition level of glutinous rice of 5%. Texture and overall preference were better at the addition level from 10% to 20% than any other levels. 2. Rheometer measurement indicated that compression force, gumminess ana chewiness tended to increase as the addition level of glutinous rice increased and decrease by the storage conditions. But work ratio and recovered height did not have much effect the addition level of glutinous rice and the storage conditions. Compression force of Back-pyun (not reheated) tended to increase by the storage time and the addition level of glutious rice. Especially it showed remakably increasing tendency during 24 hours storage (at $4^{\circ}C$) 3. Moisture content tended to increase by the addition level of glutinous rice and decrease by the storage time. But moisture content of Back-pyun reheated after storage for 24 hours stowed the increasing tendency. 4. Softness of Back-pyun had significant relationship with compression force and work ratio. Dryness and crumblyness had significant relationship with work ratio. Therefore compression force and work ratio represented the texture of Back-pyun.

3D data are in great demand for pedestrian navigation recently. For pedestrian navigation, we needs to reconstruct 3D model in detail from people's eye. In order to present spatial features in detail for pedestrian navigation, it is indispensable to develop 3D model not only in outdoor environment but also in indoor environment such as underground shopping complex. However, it is very difficult to acquire 3D data efficiently by mobile mapping without GPS. In this research, 3D shape was acquired by Laser scanner, and texture by CCD(Charge Coupled Device) sensor. Continuous changes position and attitude of sensors were measured by IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit). Moreover, IMU was corrected by relative orientation of CCD images without GPS(Global Positioning System). In conclusion, Reliable, quick, and handy method for acquiring 3D data for indoor environment is proposed by a combination of a digital camera and a laser scanner with IMU.

Steam and advection fogs are frequently observed in the Yellow Sea located between Korea and China during the periods of March-April and June-July respectively. This study uses the remote sensing (RS) data for monitoring sea fog. Meteorological data obtained from the Ieodo Ocean Research Station provided an informative synopsis for the occurrence of steam and advection fogs through a ground truth. The RS data used in this study was GOES-9, MTSAT-1R images and QuikSCAT wind data. A dual channel difference (DCD) approach using IR and near-IR channel of GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R satellites was applied to estimate the extension of the sea fog. For the days examined, it was found that not only the DCD but also the texture-related measurement and the weak wind condition are required to separate the sea fog from the low cloud. The QuikSCAT wind is used to provide a weak wind area less than threshold under stable condition of the surface wind around a fog event. The Laplacian computation for a measurement of the homogeneity was designed. A new combined method of DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and Laplacian was applied in the twelve cases with GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R. The threshold values for DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and Laplacian are -2.0 K, 8 m $s^{-1}$ and 0.1, respectively. The validation methods such as Heidke skill score, probability of detection, probability of false detection, true skill score and odds ratio show that the new combined method improves the detection of sea fog rather than DCD method.

Accuracy and precision of the spectrophotometeric analysis of clay content in soils were estimated by comparison with the conventional pipet method. Clay contents in 25 soil samples of various physico-chemical properties including texture were determined by spectrophotometry and pipet methods, and the two sets of data an clay content were compared by several statistical analyses. The correlation between clay contents determined by spectrophotometry and pipet methods was highly significant. The regression coefficient was $0.98^{**}$ and the slope of regression equation was close to 1.0. The standard deviation and CV of clay contents measured by spectorphotometry were smaller than those found in the data of clay contents obtained by pipet method. In conclusion, compared to the conventional pipet method, spectrophotometry was a rapid, convenient, accurate and precise method for the measurement of clay content in soils.

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a critical component of the hydrologic cycle which influences economic activities as well as the natural ecosystem. While there have been numerous studies on ET estimation for homogeneous areas using point measurements of meteorological variables, monitoring of spatial ET has not been possible at landscape - or watershed - scales. We propose a site-specific application of the land surface model, which is enabled by spatially interpolated input data at the desired resolution. Gyunggi Province of South Korea was divided into a regular grid of 10 million cells with 30m spacing and hourly temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation and solar irradiance were estimated for each grid cell by spatial interpolation of synoptic weather data. Topoclimatology models were used to accommodate effects of topography in a spatial interpolation procedure, including cold air drainage on nocturnal temperature and solar irradiance on daytime temperature. Satellite remote sensing data were used to classify the vegetation type of each grid cell, and corresponding spatial attributes including soil texture, canopy structure, and phenological features were identified. All data were fed into a standalone version of SiB2(Simple Biosphere Model 2) to simulate latent heat flux at each grid cell. A computer program was written for data management in the cell - based SiB2 operation such as extracting input data for SiB2 from grid matrices and recombining the output data back to the grid format. ET estimates at selected grid cells were validated against the actual measurement of latent heat fluxes by eddy covariance measurement. We applied this system to obtain the spatial ET of the study area on a continuous basis for the 2001-2003 period. The results showed a strong feasibility of using spatial - data driven land surface models for operational monitoring of regional ET.

1μm-CdS films for a window layer of CdS/CuInSe2 solar cell have been prepared by vacuum of 1x10-3 mTorr. Source and substrate temperature ranges were used 800-1100'C and 50-200℃ respectively. Structural, electircal and optical properties of CdS films have been investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SSEM), electrical resistivity, the Hall measurement and optical transmission spectra. Electrical resistivity and optical transmission of the CdS films decreased with the increase in CdS source temperature without substrate heating. All the films had hexagonal structure and strong texture with (002) orientation of grain normal to the substrate glass. CdS films evaporated at 1000℃ were the highest electrical conductivity of 0.9(S/cm). Electrical resistivity and optical transmission at the substrate temperature of 100℃ were 40(Ω,cm) and 80% respectively.

Steam and advection fogs are frequently observed in the Yellow Sea from March to July except for May. This study uses remote sensing (RS) data for the monitoring of sea fog. Meteorological data obtained from the Ieodo Ocean Research Station provided a valuable information for the occurrence of steam and advection fogs as a ground truth. The RS data used in this study were GOES-9, MTSAT-1R images and QuikSCAT wind data. A dual channel difference (DCD) approach using IR and shortwave IR channel of GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R satellites was applied to detect sea fog. The results showed that DCD, texture-related measurement and the weak wind condition are required to separate the sea fog from the low cloud. The QuikSCAT wind data was used to provide the wind speed criteria for a fog event. The laplacian computation was designed for a measurement of the homogeneity. A new combined method, which includes DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and laplacian computation, was applied to the twelve cases with GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R. The threshold values for DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and laplacian are -2.0 K, $8m\;s^{-1}$ and 0.1, respectively. The validation results showed that the new combined method slightly improves the detection of sea fog compared to DCD method: improvements of the new combined method are $5{\sim}6%$ increases in the Heidke skill score, 10% decreases in the probability of false detection, and $30{\sim}40%$ increases in the odd ratio.

In this study, basic experiments were conducted to improve the quality of muffins using kamut (Triticum turanicum Jakubz) for making products to help improve human health. Kamut powder addition decreased the pH, moisture content, muffin height, and dough yield. Chromaticity measurement of muffins with added kamut powder showed decreased L value, increased a value, and increased b value. Measurement of physical properties showed that the tackiness and cohesiveness of muffins decreased with increasing amounts of added kamut powder, along with increased gumminess and chewiness. ABTS and DPPH scavenging activities were higher in ethanol extracts than in deionized water extracts. Therefore, when making muffins, it is judged that 10 to 15% of kamut powder is most suitable in consideration of physicochemical analysis and antioxidant activity.
