This study was conducted to investigate the effects of sowing density, number of seeds sown per hole, and thinning treatment on growth characteristics and disease occurrence in Panax ginseng under direct sowing cultivation in a blue plastic greenhouse. Seedling were grown from 2 or 3 seeds sown, and the healthiest was only retained, while the rest were thinned out at the foliation stage. $NO_3$-N, $P_2O_5$, and organic matter content differed significantly between growth conditions in the plastic greenhouse and in conventional shade in the soil. Disease also tended to be higher in the conventional shade than in the plastic greenhouse. Plant height and stem length showed an increasing trend with increasing sowing density and number of seeds sown per hole. However, these measures noticeably decreased when thinning treatment was conducted. Growth of the subterranean part of ginseng was not markedly influenced by sowing density, the number of seeds sown per hole, or thinning treatment. Root weight, which is an important factor in yield, was significantly affected by the number of seeds sown and thinning treatment. Interestingly, root weight tended to be higher in the thinning treatment plot than the untreated control plot. Damping-off and root rot increased noticeably as the number of seeds sown increased. Disease also tended to be substantially higher in the thinning treatment plot than the untreated control. However, physiological disorder of the plants did not vary with sowing density, the number of seeds sown, or thinning treatment.

본 연구는 강원도 평창군 가리왕산의 낙엽송 인공림을 대상으로 효율적인 임목수확시스템 구축을 위해 타워야더(Koller K301-4)에 의한 전간간벌수확시스템의 생산성 및 비용분석을 실시하였다. 수확시스템은 벌목, 가지정리, 집재, 조재, 집적작업으로 구성하여 요소작업별 비용을 분석하였다. 총 수확비용은 41,707원/$m^3$으로서 벌도작업비용 1,315원/$m^3$(3.2%), 가지정리작업비용 3,127원/$m^3$(7.5%), 집재작업비용 20,083원/$m^3$(48.2%), 조재작업비용 12,143원/$m^3$(29.1%), 집적작업비용 5,039원/$m^3$(12.1%) 등으로 구성되었다. 수확시스템비용 중에서 가장 높은 비중을 차지하는 집재작업에 대하여 평균집재시간 예측모델식을 개발하여, 수확시스템비용에 대한 인자별 영향력 분석을 위해 민감도분석을 실시하였다. 인자별 수확시스템비용에 대한 증감율은 가로집재거리가 약 5.2%, 세로집재거리는 약 3.0%의 증가를 규칙적으로 나타내었다. 집재본수는 많아질수록 수확시스템비용 증감율의 폭은 작아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 집재본수 4~5본에서 감소폭 둔화현상이 발생되었다. 따라서 집재본수인자가 수확시스템비용에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고, 다음으로 세로집재거리인자와 가로집재거리인자의 순으로 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, a non-contact method of evaluating the thickness reduction in an aluminum sheet caused by corrosion and friction using SH-EMAT (shear horizontal, electromagnetic acoustic transducer) is described. Since this method is based on the measurement of the time-of-flight and amplitude change of guided waves caused from the thickness reduction, it provides information on the thinning defects. Information was obtained on the changes of the various wave features, such as their time-of-flight and amplitude, and their correlations with the thickness reduction were investigated. The interesting features in the dispersive behavior of selected guided modes were used for the detection of thinning defects. The measurements of these features using SH waves were performed on aluminum specimens with regions thinned by 7.2% to 29.5% of the total thickness. It is shown that the time-of-flight measurement provides an estimation of the thickness reduction and length of the thinning defects.

Failure behaviors of thin cylinder with corrosion are very important for the integrity of boiler and pressure vessel system. In this study, FEM with internal pressure are conducted on 1000 mm diameter (length 3000 mm and thickness, 5.9 mm) SS400 carbon steel. Failure behaviors of locally wall thinned cylinders were calculated by elasto-plastic analysis using finite element method. The elasto-plastic analysis was performed by FE code ANSYS. We simulated various types of local wall thinning that can be occurred at cylinder surface due to corrosion. Locally wall thinned shapes were machined to be different in size along the circumferential or axial direction of straight cylinder. In case of local wall thinned length 30 mm, internal pressure, when the crack initiation and the plastic collapse occur, didn't decrease dramatically even though local wall thinned depth was deep. In 400 mm, the more local wall thinned depth is deep, the more internal pressure decreased dramatically. In degraded materials, crack is easily initiation but plastic collapse was difficult.

Flow fields inside feeder pipes have been simulated numerically using a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code to calculate the shear stress distribution, which is the most important factor in predicting the local regions of feeder pipes highly susceptible to FAC (flow-accelerated corrosion)-induced wall thinning. The CFD approach, with schemes used in this study, to simulate the flow situations inside the CANDU feeder pipes has been verified as it showed a good agreement between the investigation results for the failed feedwater pipe at Surry unit 2 plant in the U.S. and the CFD calculation. Sensitivity studies of the three geometrical parameters, such as angle of the first and second bends, length of the first span between the grayloc hub and the first bend, and length of the second span between the first and the second bends have been performed. CFD analysis reveals that the local regions of feeder pipes of Wolsung unit 1 in Korea, on which wall thickness measurements have been performed so far, are not coincident with the worst regions predicted by the present CFD analysis located in the connection region of straight and bend pipe near the inlet part of the bend intrados. Finally, based on the results of the present CFD analysis, a guide to the selection of the weakest local positions where the measurement of wall thickness should be performed with higher priority has been provided.

Logging equipment and method have a major influence on harvesting productivity and cost. This study investigated the productivity and operational costs of tree-length cable yarding system using HAM300, a domestically developed tower yarder. We tested HAM300 for thinning operation in Pinus densiflora stands at Gangreung, Gangwon-do on April, 2014. To assess the productivity we conducted time study for each stage of the operation. When the average time/cycle was examined for each stage of the operation, the longest was for yarding (241 sec), followed by delimbing (237 sec), felling (153 sec), and processing (103 sec). Furthermore, productivity for felling was $8.6m^3/hr$, followed by delimbing ($5.1m^3/hr$), yarding ($3.5m^3/hr$), and processing ($8.1m^3/hr$). The total cost for the tree-length logging system was $58,446won/m^3$, of which the majority was incurred by the yarding cost at $46,217won/m^3$ (79.3%), whereas the lowest cost was for felling at $2,359won/m^3$ (4.1%). We suggest that it is necessary to foster specialized operators and provide training in operating the tower yarder thereby implementing efficient harvesting system resulting from low-cost yarding.

This study performed a series of burst tests at ambient temperature using real-scale elbow specimen containing a local wall-thinning defect at it's intrados or extrados and evaluated failure pressure of locally wall-thinned elbows. In the experiment, a 90-degree 100A, Sch. 80 standard elbow was employed, and various wall-thinning geometries, such as length, depth, and circumferential angle, were considered. From the results of experiment, the dependences of failure pressure of wall-thinned elbows on the defect geometries and locations were investigated. In addition, the reliability of existing models was examined by comparing the tests data with the results predicted from existing failure pressure evaluation models for locally wall-thinned elbow.

본 연구에서는 얼굴 영상을 캡쳐하여 전 처리한 후 얼굴영역을 분리하고, 분리된 얼굴 영역에서 미분 연산자와 최소 형태를 세선화하여 특징을 추출하였다. Hough Transform은 $r-\theta$ 평면에서 직선의 기울기와 절편으로 변환되며, 반면 Housdorff distance는 세선화된 영상에서 선분을 추출하여 길이, 회전, 천이 특징을 추출하였다. 사람마다 다른 특징들을 추출하여 Housdorff distance과 Hough Transform에 관하여 비교분석 결과 Hough변환의 복잡도가 더 적은 것으로 판단되었다. 인식율은 Housdorff Distance를 이용한 인식율이 Hough Transformation에 비해 조금 높게 나타났다.

This study was one of a series of studies on application of machine vision and image processing to extract the geometrical features of plants and to analyze plant growth. Several algorithms were developed to measure morphological properties of plants and describing the growth development of in-situ lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.). Canopy, centroid, leaf density and fractal dimension of plant were measured from a top viewed binary image. It was capable of identifying plants by a thinning top viewed image. Overlapping the thinning side viewed image with a side viewed binary image of plant was very effective to auto-detect meaningful nodes associated with canopy components such as stem, branch, petiole and leaf. And, plant height, stem diameter, number and angle of branches, and internode length and so on were analyzed by using meaningful nodes extracted from overlapped side viewed images. Canopy, leaf density and fractal dimension showed high relation with fresh weight or growth pattern of in-situ lettuces. It was concluded that machine vision system and image processing techniques are very useful in extracting geometrical features and monitoring plant growth, although interactive methods, for some applications, were required.

일반적인 한글 자동 인식 방법은 세선화 과정을 통한 문자의 골격 추추르 기본자소의 분리 및 인식과정으로 이루어진다. 그러나 이 방법은 복잡한 세선화 과정이 필요하고 잡음에 민감하여 전처리 과정에서는 많은 처리가 필요하며 인식과정에서는 복잡성을 피할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 고딕체 한글의 기본자소들이 윤곽선의 방향 성분들로서 표현이 가능함을 보이고, 복잡한 세선화 과정이 필요없는 윤곽선 방향 성분들의 추출 방법을 보이며, 추출된 윤곽선 방향 성분들로 한글 문자를 자동인식하는 방법을 제안하였다. 구성된 시스템은 전처리 과정이 매우 간단하며, 잡음에 민감하지도 않고 한글 문자의 윤곽선 방향 성분들을 매우 빠르게 추출하였다. 패턴이 인식 과정도 문자열 패턴매칭 방법으로 대치되어 매우 빠르고 정확하게 한글 문자를 인식해 내었다. 인식율은 92%정도 되었다.
