The rapidly growing global population increases the awareness of water, energy, and food security worldwide. The concept of Water, Energy, and Food nexus (hereafter, WEF nexus) has been widely introduced as a new resources management concept that integrate the water, energy, and food in a single management framework. Recently, WEF nexus analyzes not only the interconnections among the resources, but also considers the external factors (such as environment, climate change, policy, finance, etc) to enhance the resources sustainability by proper understanding of their relations. A nation-level resources management is quite complex task since multiple regions (e.g., watersheds, cities, and counties) with different characteristics are spatially interconnected and transfer the resources each other. This study proposes a multiple region WEF nexus simulation and transfer model. The model is equipped with three simulation modules, such as local nexus simulation module, regional resources transfer module, and optimal investment planning module. The model intends to determine an optimal capital investment plan (CIP), such as build-up of power plants, water/waste water treatment plants, farmland development and to determine W-E-F import/export decisions among areas. The objective is to maximize overall resources sustainability while minimize financial cost. For demonstration, the proposed model is applied to a semi-hypothetical study area with three different characterized cities. It is expected the model can be used as a decision support tool for a long-term resources management planning process.

In this study, Chungju inflow was simulated for climate change considering the uncertainties of GCMs and a stochastic model. TFN (Transfer Function Noise) model and 4 different GCMs (CNRM, CSIRO, CONS, UKMO) based on IPCC AR4 A2 scenario were used. In order to evaluate uncertainty of TFN model, 100 cases of noises are applied to the TFN model. Thus, 400 cases of inflow results are simulated. Future inflows according to the GCMs show different rates of changes for the future 3 periods relative to the past 30-years reference period. As the results, the summer inflow shows increasing trend and the spring inflow shows decreasing trend based on AR4 A2 scenario.

미래 기후변화로 인해 집중 호우, 가뭄의 발생 빈도가 증가하고, 물 부족, 수질 오염 등으로 인해 합리적인 수자원 계획 및 관리의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 기후변화는 유역간 물 이동량 뿐만 아니라 유역의 하천 유량 및 수질에 영향을 미치기 때문에, 물 이동량이 많은 유역에서는 기후변화 시나리오를 고려한 하천 유량 및 수질 변화를 정량적으로 평가해야 한다. 만경강 유역(1,602 ㎢)은 하류 지역에 비옥한 평야가 분포되어 있어 농업이 발달한 유역이나, 유역 내 가용 용수가 부족하여 인근에 위치한 금강 용담댐의 발전용수를 공급받아 사용하고 있다. 발달된 농경지로부터 발생되는 비점오염, 축산 점오염원으로 인한 수질 문제가 심각할 뿐만 아니라, 만경강의 수질은 궁극적으로 새만금호에 영향을 미치기 때문에 더욱 엄격한 관리가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 유역간 물이동량, 취수량 등을 고려하여 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) 모형을 구축하였다. 2개의 수위-유량 관측소의 일자료와 2개의 수질관측소 월자료를 이용하여 보정(2012~2014) 및 검증(2016~2018)을 수행한 결과 유출량의 평균 Nash-Sutcliffe model Efficiency (NSE)는 0.49 ~ 0.51, SS, T-N, 그리고 T-P에 대한 평균 결정계수(Coefficient of determination, R²)는 0.73, 0.78, 0.72였다. 미래 기후변화에 따른 유역의 수문 및 수질 변화 분석을 위해 증발산량 산정이 가능한 RCP 8.5 기후변화 시나리오에 STARDEX를 활용하여 가장 습윤한 시나리오 및 가장 건조한 기후변화 시나리오를 각각 1개를 선정할 것이다. 선정된 시나리오를 구축된 SWAT 모형에 적용하여 미래 유역간 물이동이 유역의 하천 유량 및 수질에 미치는 영향을 미래 평가기간(S1:2011~2040, S2:2041~2070, S3:2071~2100)으로 구분하여 분석할 것이다.

The diffusion and partition coefficients of polyurethane foam (PUF) are estimated using a microbalance experiment and small chamber test. The microbalance is used to measure sorption/desorption kinetics and equilibrium data. When the diffusion condition is controlled in the chamber of the sample, interactions between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PUF can lead to the estimation of a relatively homogenous rate of mass transfer in the interiors and surfaces of PUF. The estimates of the material/air partition coefficient (K) and the material-phase diffusion coefficient (D) are shown to be independent of the concentrations of VOCs. This approach, if applied to a diffusion-controlled or physically-based model, can facilitate more precise prediction of their source/sink behavior. Although further research and more rigorous validation is needed, an emission model applied with the diffusion and partition coefficients from this research holds promise for the improvement of reliability in predicting the behavior of VOCs emitted from porous building materials by D and K.

For evaluating the printing suitability of electronic copying papers in the aspect of climate conditions, 12 samples of copying papers being generally used in Korea and worldwide were collected. The copying papers were controlled by various temperature and humidity options in conditioning equipment in order to simulate the specific circumstances of dry, temperate or tropical climate, and the pre-heating system of photocopying machines during printing. As results, some copying papers showed several physical problems, especially in recycled copying papers and a normal paper with original printing faulty. These problems of copying papers were mostly resulted in extremely high moisture circumstance, and in lower levels of tensile strength and tensile stiffness. The moisture contents of copying papers during passing through the pre-heater system of photocopying machine could be rapidly decreased because paper is exposed to high temperature around the pre-heating zone. The copying paper, for example of XR3 sample, containing low moisture contents below 2% had high exfoliating possibility of toner transfer from copying paper.

Rice is an important food crop for most of the population in the world and it is largely cultivated in Pakistan. It not only fulfills food demand in the country but also contributes to the wealth of Pakistan. But its production can be affected by climate change. The irregularities in the climate can cause several diseases such as brown spots, bacterial blight, tungro and leaf blasts, etc. Detection of these diseases is necessary for suitable treatment. These diseases can be effectively detected using deep learning such as Convolution Neural networks. Due to the small dataset, transfer learning models such as vgg16 model can effectively detect the diseases. In this paper, vgg16, inception and xception models are used. Vgg16, inception and xception models have achieved 99.22%, 88.48% and 93.92% validation accuracies when the epoch value is set to 10. Evaluation of models has also been done using accuracy, recall, precision, and confusion matrix.

The radiative convective equilibrium (RCE) temperature was calculated for the climate change study at King Sejong Station in West Antarctica. As a result of RCE model sensitivity test, the increases of surface albedo, solar zenith angle, and cloud optical thickness decrease surface temperature. On the other hand, the increases of carbon dioxide and cirrus cloud amount are caused by surface warming due to the greenhouse effect. According to the model calculation result, annual mean surface temperature shows a upward trend of 0.012oC/year during the period of 1958-2001. During the period of 1989∼2001, the trend of monthly mean surface temperature by model calculation is 0.01oC/month and the observation trend is 0.005oC/month.

We studied to compare the fractionation patterns of Ni, Cu, Zn in Jeju volcanic ash soils and to elucidate the uptakes of them by Pakchoi(Brassica campestris var. chinensis). Fractionation patterns of soils by sequential extraction method were different and make to distinguish from various soil types. In Pakchoi, the transfer rates of Ni, Cu, Zn from root to shoot were also different by metal types. There are low corelation between fractional contents in soil and contents in plants of trace elements except for exchangeable Zn. It is needed to develop novel methods for the assessment soil Ni in relation to plant uptake because of poor corelation.

The seed zone is a map that describes the areas where plant material can be transferred with little risk for properly adapting to a new location. The seed zone study is largely divided into studies based on genetic data and studies based on climatic data. Can be. This study was conducted to establish a temporary domestic seed zone applicable to the entire Korean Peninsula and evaluate its possibility based on the US climate-based seed zone establishment methodology. The temporary seed zone was constructed in the same way as the US case by superimposing the data obtained by dividing the winter minimum temperature into 12 grades and the data obtained by dividing the annual heat: moisture index into 6 grades. As a result of the analysis, 65 temporary seed zones were formed throughout the Korean Peninsula, and the areas of the seed zones representing the smallest and largest areas were 3.0km² and 29,423.0km², respectively, and it was confirmed that they had an average size of about 5,064.9km². Temporary seed zones applied in Korea show a pattern of changes in temperature according to the relatively horizontal forest zone, and it was confirmed that the area where the Baekdu-daegan ecological axis is located has a tendency to show lower dryness than other areas. This study applied the US climate-based seed zone methodology in Korea as a pilot, and confirmed the climatic similarity across the Korean Peninsula. Furthermore, it is expected to provide an optimal seed map that improves the success rate of restoration in the future by revising the seed zone grade suitable for the domestic environment in consideration of the results of this study and the possibility of seed adaptation to the field survey and environmental space.
