Spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation and temperature occur with regard to aspect and elevation of Mt. Halla in Jeju Island. Therefore, there is a need to predict regional drought associate with them to mitigate of impacts of drought. In this study, regional drought is predicted based on Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) and standardized precipitation index (SPI) using future (2015~2044) climate change scenario RCP (representative concentration pathways) 4.5 classified as 24 regions according to aspect and elevation. The results show that number and duration of drought will be decrease in Jeju Island. However, severity of severe drought will be increase in western and northern aspect with under 200 meters above mean sea level. These findings provide primary information for developing the proactive strategies to mitigate impacts of drought by future climate change in Jeju Island.

본 연구에서는 IPCC SRES 6개 기후변화 시나리오(A2, A1B, A1FI, A1T, B1, and B2)를 기반으로 우리나라의 현재(1996~2005년)와 미래(2046~2055년, 2091~2100년)에 대한 냉난방도일을 전망하였다. 이를 위하여 전구 기후모델(CCSM3)의 미래 전망 결과를 지역규모 기후모델(MM5)을 이용한 다운스케일링을 통해 고해상도(18km)의 기온 전망을 수행하였다. 21세기 말의 한반도 기온은 현재 대비 약 $1.2{\sim}3.4^{\circ}C$ 수준까지 증가하는 것으로 전망된다. 기온 전망 결과를 이용하여 7개 권역별(서울 경기, 강원 산간, 중부 내륙, 남부 내륙, 남부 해안, 영동 울릉, 제주) 냉난방도일을 전망한 결과, 21세기 말의 난방도일은 현재 대비 8~25% 수준까지 감소하는 반면에 냉방도일은 242~1,448%까지 증가하였다. 또한, 난방기간은 약 1개월 정도 감소하며, 냉방기간은 최대 2개월 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재에 비해 미래의 난방에너지 수요는 감소하지만, 냉방에너지 수요는 증가할 것으로 예측된다. 특히, 이러한 변화는 타 권역에 비해 강원산간권역과 제주권역에서 뚜렷하게 나타날 것으로 예측된다. 따라서 미래에는 난방을 위한 화석에너지보다 냉방에너지로 사용되는 전기에너지에 대한 수요관리가 현재보다 더욱 중요해질 수 있음을 의미한다.

Changes of annual seed production related to climate change were studied for 12 years in Piagol, a riparian valley in Mt. Jiri. Sixty-four seed traps (sized 0.5 ${\times}$ 0.5 $m^{2}$) were set up on the forest floor of surveyed area. Seeds were collected from these traps at an interval of 15 days from September to November since 1984. Vegetation of the study area was mainly consisted of the naturally regenerated Carpinus tschonoskii in the tree layer. Acer mono, Quercus serrata, Carpinus laxiflora and Symplocos chinensis also appeared in the same layer. Maximum production occurred in 1984 and 1994. As a result of comparing seed production with local climate factors for 12 years, seed productivity and the year of maximum production of Carpinus forest were merely related with precipitation, air temperature and duration of sunshine among local climate factors. Duration of sunshine was, however, not contributed to periodically high productivity of seed of riparian valley carpinus forest.

4G mobile communication system requires the throughput of 10-100Mbps. Adaptive modulated OFDM system is promising technique for increasing the throughput. In the pilot symbol assisted high-speed packet transmission system, the data symbol duration is generally considered to be small compared to the coherence time. However, OFDM symbol duration is longer than the symbol duration of a single carrier system, so that the packet duration of the pilot symbol assisted high speed packet transmission system is long. In this case, the change of channel conditions is too fast to be accurately estimated by channel estimator at the receiver in high Doppler frequency, so that many errors occur during demodulation, especially with the data symbols at the end of each packet. In this paper, we consider the BER at various instantaneous $E_b/N_o$ that includes the demodulation errors in high Doppler frequency. When the coherence time is ten times longer than the duration of a single packet, the channel can be closely approximated as an AWGN channel. Otherwise, the approximation breaks down and the above-mentioned errors that occur during demodulation must be taken into consideration. In this paper, we propose the pilot symbol assisted high speed packet transmission system based on adaptive OFDM using a novel lookup table to consider the demodulated errors and evaluate the throughput performance.

The frequency of extreme weather events was analyzed using meteorological data (air temperature, precipitation, and duration of sunshine) collected from 61 stations over a 36-year span (1981-2016). The 10-day meteorological data were used as a basic unit for this analysis. On average, the frequency of occurrence of abnormal weather was 9.88 per year and has increased significantly during this 36-year period. According to the type of abnormal weather, the frequencies of occurrence of abnormally high air temperature and short duration of sunshine have increased by 0.50 and 0.41 per 10 years, respectively; however, that for abnormally low air temperature has decreased by 0.31 per 10 years and the trend was statistically significant. The highest frequency of abnormal weather appeared in 2007, with a frequency of 14.31. Abnormal weather was the most frequent at Yeongdeok station with an average frequency of 11.78 per year over this 36-year span.

This study focused on the effects of the $CO_2$ gas concentration in fresh charge and induction air temperature on the combustion characteristics of homogeneous charge compression ignition with dimethyl ether (DME) fuel, which was injected at the intake port. Because of adding $CO_2$ in fresh charge, start of auto-ignition was retarded and bum duration became longer. Indicated combustion efficiency and exhaust gas emission were found to be worse due to the incomplete combustion. Partial burn was observed at the high concentration of $CO_2$ in fresh charge with low temperature of induction air. However, indicated thermal efficiency was improved due to increased expansion work by late ignition and prolonged bum duration. Start of auto-ignition timing was advanced with negligible change of burn duration, as induction air temperature increased. Burn duration was mainly affected by oxygen mole concentration in induction mixture. Bum duration was increased, as oxygen mole concentration was decreased.

Isolated sinus node cells of the rabbit were used to assess the effects of extracellular Na, K, Ca and Mg concentrations on cardiac pacemaker activity. With intracellular glass micro-electrodes spontaneous action potentials of SA node were recorded and the effects of various ions and their blockers were analyzed in terms of the cycle length, the amplitude and the duration of action potentials, the results obtained were as follows. 1. Sodium reduction [up to 30%] decreased the amplitude of action potential and lengthened the cycle length. TTX, specific blocker of Na channel slightly lengthened the cycle length. 2. Increasing potassium ion concentration, the duration of action potential decreased and the frequency increased in 6mM, however, spontaneous action potential was stopped in 24 mM. Barium ion known to be decreasing K conductance increased the duration of action potential but no significant change in the cycle length was noticed. 3. Calcium ion has shortening effect on the duration and the cycle length of action potential but not with dose-dependent manner. Cadmium ion .[0.02mM] lengthened cycle length and the duration of action potential. 4. Increasing the concentration of magnesium ion the cycle length was lengthened, significantly.

본 연구에서는 기온 자료를 필터링 기법을 이용하여 특정 임계치 이상이 되는 날짜를 산출한 후 계절 시작일과 계절 지속기간 변화를 분석하였다. 7개 기상 관측지점의 80년간(1921-2000년)의 관측 자료와 A1B 시나리오를 이용한 2040년대와 2090년대의 모델 전망 자료로부터 계절 시작일과 지속기간의 변화를 분석한 결과 봄과 여름의 시작일은 할라지고 가을과 겨울의 시작일은 늦어지는 경향을 보였다. 또한 이러한 경향은 2040년대보다 2090년대의 경우에 더 두드러질 것으로 전망되었다. 봄 시작일과 겨울 시작일의 변화 특성은 위도가 낮을수록 더 현저히 나타나고 여름 시작일은 해안보다는 내륙에서 더 발리 진행되었다. 전 분석 지점에서 지구온난화 및 도시화에 의해 여름 지속기간은 증가하는 추세이고 겨울 지속기간은 감소하는 추세였다. 여름과 겨울 지속기간은 위도가 낮을수록 여름철이 겨울철보다 긴 특성을 보였으며, 여름 시작일이 가장 빨랐던 대구 지점이 가장 긴 여름 지속기간을 보였다. 특히, 1990년대부터 겨울 지속기간이 크게 감소하면서 여름과 겨울 지속기간의 차이는 더 커졌다. 비슷한 위도대의 경우 여름과 겨울 지속기간 차이는 내륙보다 해안지역에서 더 컸다. 특히, 남해안과 동해안에 위치한 강릉, 부산, 목포 지점들은 여름철은 길어지고 겨울철은 짧아지는 경향이었으며, 모델 자료에 근거한 2090년대에는 겨울철이 사라질 것으로 전망되었다.

A high voltage pulse generator based on the Blumlein pulse forming line (PFL) was fabricated to produce a voltage pulse whose peak value is ~300 kV and pulse duration is ~50 ns. Three cylindrical electrodes, such as inner, middle, and outer electrodes, are concentrically placed to make a compact PFL. To increase the pulse duration of the output pulse without any change of the size of the generator, the middle electrode is replaced by a helical strip electrode. To determine the radius of the helical electrode, the impedance of the helical Blumlein PFL is calculated using an approximate formula where the dispersive property of the helical Blumlein PFL is not considered. The dependence of the impedance on the frequency is computed by a commercial program. The number of turns in the helical electrode is decided to provide a demanded pulse duration. The experimental result shows that the helical Blumlein PFL is capable of making a high voltage pulse of ~50 ns pulse duration.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate buccal facial depth (BFD) changes after extraction and nonextraction orthodontic treatments in post-adolescent and adult female patients, and to explore possible influencing factors. Methods: Twelve and nine female patients were enrolled in the extraction and nonextraction groups, respectively. Changes in BFD in the defined buccal region and six transverse and two coronal measuring planes were measured after registering pretreatment and posttreatment three-dimensional facial scans. Changes in posterior dentoalveolar arch widths were also measured. Treatment duration, changes in body mass index (BMI), and cephalometric variables were compared between the groups. Results: BFD in the buccal region decreased by approximately 1.45 mm in the extraction group, but no significant change was observed in the nonextraction group. In the extraction group, the decrease in BFD was identical between the two coronal measuring planes, whereas this differed among the six transverse measuring planes. Posterior dentoalveolar arch widths decreased in the extraction group, whereas these increased at the second premolar level in the nonextraction group. The treatment duration of the extraction group was twice that of the nonextraction group. No differences were found in BMI and Frankfort horizontal-mandibular plane angle changes between the groups. BFD changes in the buccal region moderately correlated with treatment duration and dental arch width change. Conclusions: BFD decreased in adult female patients undergoing extraction, and this may be influenced by the long treatment duration and constriction of dentoalveolar arch width. However, nonextraction treatment did not significantly alter BFD.
