New approaches for detecting, preventing and remedying environmental damage are important for protection of the environment. Procedures must be developed and implemented to reduce the amount of waste produced in chemical processes, to detect the presence and/or concentration of contaminants and decontaminate fouled environments. Contamination can be classified into three general types: airborne, surface and structural. The most dangerous type is airborne contamination, because of the opportunity for inhalation and ingestion. The second most dangerous type is surface contamination. Surface contamination can be transferred to workers by casual contact and if disturbed can easily be made airborne. The decontamination of the surface in the nuclear facilities has been widely studied with particular emphasis on small and large surfaces. The amount of wastes being produced during decommissioning of nuclear facilities is much higher than the total wastes cumulated during operation. And, the process of decommissioning has a strong possibility of personal's exposure and emission to environment of the radioactive contaminants, requiring through monitoring and estimation of radiation and radioactivity. So, it is important to monitor the radioactive contamination level of the nuclear facilities for the determination of the decontamination method, the establishment of the decommissioning planning, and the worker's safety. But it is very difficult to measure the surface contamination of the floor and wall in the highly contaminated facilities. In this study, the poly(styrene-ethyl acrylate) [poly(St-EA)] core-shell composite polymer for measurement of the radioactive contamination was synthesized by the method of emulsion polymerization. The morphology of the poly(St-EA) composite emulsion particle was core-shell structure, with polystyrene (PS)as the core and poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) as the shell. Core-shell polymers of styrene (St)/ethyl acrylate (EA) pair were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SOS) as an emulsifier using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. The polymer was made by impregnating organic scintillators, 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) and 1,4-bis[5-phenyl-2-oxazol]benzene (POPOP). Related tests and analysis confirmed the success in synthesis of composite polymer. The products are characterized by IT-IR spectroscopy, TGA that were used, respectively, to show the structure, the thermal stability of the prepared polymer. Two-phase particles with a core-shell structure were obtained in experiments where the estimated glass transition temperature and the morphologies of emulsion particles. Radiation pollution level the detection about under using examined the beta rays. The morphology of the poly(St-EA) composite polymer synthesized by the method of emulsion polymerization was a core-shell structure, as shown in Fig. 1. Core-shell materials consist of a core structural domain covered by a shell domain. Clearly, the entire surface of PS core was covered by PEA. The inner region was a PS core and the outer region was a PEA shell. The particle size distribution showed similar in the range 350-360 nm.

Mn-doped Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-Pb(Mg_2/3Nb_1/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (Mn:PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals, which exhibit improved phase transition temperatures and coercive field properties compared to Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-Pb(Mg_2/3Nb_1/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals, are expected to be utilized in high-power acoustic transducers. Bridgeman method, growing single crystals along the axial direction from melt, is most widely used method for single crystal growth with large size and high quality. However, single crystal boules grown by the Bridgeman method demonstrate a PT compositional variation, giving rise a distribution of crystal structure and material properties along the growing axis. To employ piezoelectric single crystals grown by the Bridgeman method for acoustic transducers, it is essential to investigate their overall property distribution. In this study, the compositional distribution and property variation of Mn:PIN-PMN-PT single crystals grown by the Bridgeman method was investigated. Measured compositional distribution of PT was from 29% to 32.5% in the Rhombohedral crystal region of the boule. Two types of specimen, [011]-poled Mn:PIN-PMN-29PT and Mn:PIN-PMN-32PT single crystals, were fabricated and tested to obtain full property variation at both ends of the Rhombohedral crystal region. The properties related to the 32 directional vibration mode and the properties related to high-power driving were measured to confirm the overall distribution of properties by composition.

It is generally believed that the occurrence of a magnetic storm depends upon the solar wind conditions, particularly the southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) component. To understand the relationship between solar wind parameters and magnetic storms, variations in magnetic field polarity and solar wind parameters during magnetic storms are examined. A total of 156 storms during the period of 1997~2003 are used. According to the interplanetary driver, magnetic storms are divided into three types, which are coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven storms, co-rotating interaction region (CIR)-driven storms, and complicated type storms. Complicated types were not included in this study. For this purpose, the manner in which the direction change of IMF $B_y$ and $B_z$ components (in geocentric solar magnetospheric coordinate system coordinate) during the main phase is related with the development of the storm is examined. The time-integrated solar wind parameters are compared with the time-integrated disturbance storm time (Dst) index during the main phase of each magnetic storm. The time lag with the storm size is also investigated. Some results are worth noting: CME-driven storms, under steady conditions of $B_z$ < 0, represent more than half of the storms in number. That is, it is found that the average number of storms for negative sign of IMF $B_z$ (T1~T4) is high, at 56.4%, 53.0%, and 63.7% in each storm category, respectively. However, for the CIR-driven storms, the percentage of moderate storms is only 29.2%, while the number of intense storms is more than half (60.0%) under the $B_z$ < 0 condition. It is found that the correlation is highest between the time-integrated IMF $B_z$ and the time-integrated Dst index for the CME-driven storms. On the other hand, for the CIR-driven storms, a high correlation is found, with the correlation coefficient being 0.93, between time-integrated Dst index and time-integrated solar wind speed, while a low correlation, 0.51, is found between timeintegrated $B_z$ and time-integrated Dst index. The relationship between storm size and time lag in terms of hours from $B_z$ minimum to Dst minimum values is investigated. For the CME-driven storms, time lag of 26% of moderate storms is one hour, whereas time lag of 33% of moderate storms is two hours for the CIR-driven storms. The average values of solar wind parameters for the CME and CIR-driven storms are also examined. The average values of ${\mid}Dst_{min}{\mid}$ and ${\mid}B_{zmin}{\mid}$ for the CME-driven storms are higher than those of CIR-driven storms, while the average value of temperature is lower.

국제해사기구(IMO)의 해상인명안전조약(SOLAS)은 모든 선박이 필수적으로 공인 종이해도, 혹은 전자해도(ENC)를 탑재해야만 한다고 명시하고 있으며, 특히 안전성이 검증된 전자해도 디스플레이 시스템인 ECDIS의 사용을 장려하고 있다. 국제수로기구 내에서는 이러한 ECDIS에 사용되는 공인 전자해도 자료가 지역전자해도 관리센터(RENC)를 통해 보급되어야만 한다는 주장이 커지고 있다. 전 세계적으로 ECDIS의 사용이 일반화되면서, 유럽에 현존하는 두 RENC만으로는 부족하다는 문제점이 제기되었다. 특히, 급격한 경제성장과 더불어 증가하는 아시아 지역의 통항 량은 동아시아 RENC의 필요성을 증명하였다. 본 연구는 2012년에 발효되는 IMO의 ECDIS 강제탑재조건과 현재 RENC의 운영 상황을 바탕으로 RENC 역할의 정의함으로써, 동아시아 수로 위원회의 전략을 참고한 동아시아 지역 독자적 모델(Phase-In)을 통한 RENC 설립의 당위성 및 전략을 연구하였다.

Triplets of identical cubesats will be built to carry out the following scientific objectives: i) multi-observations of ionospheric ENA (Energetic Neutral Atom) imaging, ii) ionospheric signature of suprathermal electrons and ions associated with auroral acceleration as well as electron microbursts, and iii) complementary measurements of magnetic fields for particle data. Each satellite, a cubesat for ion, neutral, electron, and magnetic fields (CINEMA), is equipped with a suprathermal electron, ion, neutral (STEIN) instrument and a 3-axis magnetometer of magnetoresistive sensors. TRIO is developed by three institutes: i) two CINEMA by Kyung Hee University (KHU) under the WCU program, ii) one CINEMA by UC Berkeley under the NSF support, and iii) three magnetometers by Imperial College, respectively. Multi-spacecraft observations in the STEIN instruments will provide i) stereo ENA imaging with a wide angle in local times, which are sensitive to the evolution of ring current phase space distributions, ii) suprathermal electron measurements with narrow spacings, which reveal the differential signature of accelerated electrons driven by Alfven waves and/or double layer formation in the ionosphere between the acceleration region and the aurora, and iii) suprathermal ion precipitation when the storm-time ring current appears. In addition, multi-spacecraft magnetic field measurements in low earth orbits will allow the tracking of the phase fronts of ULF waves, FTEs, and quasi-periodic reconnection events between ground-based magnetometer data and upstream satellite data.

Purpose: To identify baseline prognostic factors for survival in patients with disease progression, during or after chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Materials and Methods: We pooled data from patients randomized between 2009 and 2012 in 2 phase III, global double-blind studies of ramucirumab for the treatment of advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma following disease progression on first-line platinum- and/or fluoropyrimidine-containing therapy (REGARD and RAINBOW). Forty-one key baseline clinical and laboratory factors common in both studies were examined. Model building started with covariate screening using univariate Cox models (significance level=0.05). A stepwise multivariable Cox model identified the final prognostic factors (entry+exit significance level=0.01). Cox models were stratified by treatment and geographic region. The process was repeated to identify baseline prognostic quality of life (QoL) parameters. Results: Of 1,020 randomized patients, 953 (93%) patients without any missing covariates were included in the analysis. We identified 12 independent prognostic factors of poor survival: 1) peritoneal metastases; 2) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 1; 3) the presence of a primary tumor; 4) time to progression since prior therapy <6 months; 5) poor/unknown tumor differentiation; abnormally low blood levels of 6) albumin, 7) sodium, and/or 8) lymphocytes; and abnormally high blood levels of 9) neutrophils, 10) aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 11) alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and/or 12) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Factors were used to devise a 4-tier prognostic index (median overall survival [OS] by risk [months]: high=3.4, moderate=6.4, medium=9.9, and low=14.5; Harrell's C-index=0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64-0.68). Addition of QoL to the model identified patient-reported appetite loss as an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions: The identified prognostic factors and the reported prognostic index may help clinical decision-making, patient stratification, and planning of future clinical studies.

The strong turbulence characteristic of typhoon not only will significantly change flow field characteristics surrounding the large-scale wind turbine and aerodynamic force distribution on surface, but also may cause morphological evolution of coast dune and thereby form sand storms. A 5MW horizontal-axis wind turbine in a wind power plant of southeastern coastal areas in China was chosen to investigate the distribution law of additional loads caused by wind-sand coupling movement of coast dune at landing of strong typhoons. Firstly, a mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mode was introduced in for high spatial resolution simulation of typhoon "Megi". Wind speed profile on the boundary layer of typhoon was gained through fitting based on nonlinear least squares and then it was integrated into the user-defined function (UDF) as an entry condition of small-scaled CFD numerical simulation. On this basis, a synchronous iterative modeling of wind field and sand particle combination was carried out by using a continuous phase and discrete phase. Influencing laws of typhoon and normal wind on moving characteristics of sand particles, equivalent pressure distribution mode of structural surface and characteristics of lift resistance coefficient were compared. Results demonstrated that: Compared with normal wind, mesoscale typhoon intensifies the 3D aerodynamic distribution mode on structural surface of wind turbine significantly. Different from wind loads, sand loads mainly impact on 30° ranges at two sides of the lower windward region on the tower. The ratio between sand loads and wind load reaches 3.937% and the maximum sand pressure coefficient is 0.09. The coupling impact effect of strong typhoon and large sand particles is more significant, in which the resistance coefficient of tower is increased by 9.80% to the maximum extent. The maximum resistance coefficient in typhoon field is 13.79% higher than that in the normal wind field.

이 기술 노트에서는 중간복잡도 지구시스템모델의 하나인 LOVECLIM의 1.3 버전의 특성과 설치 및 운영 방법을 살펴보았으며, 두 종류의 홀로세의 기후 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 기존 CMIP5/PMIP3실험결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 이 연구에서 수행된 홀로세 중기 평형기후실험과 홀로세 중기부터 현재까지의 점진적 기후변화 실험 결과를 CMIP5/PMIP3 실험 결과와 비교하여 살펴본 결과, 연직 3층의 준지균 근사 방정식을 사용하는 LOVECLIM의 대기모델은 지면대기 온도, 200 hPa 동서방향 바람, 800 hPa 남북방향 바람의 전구 분포의 공간상관도와 편차에서 CMIP5/PMIP3에 참여한 최신의 기후모델들에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 대기장의 모의정확도를 보였지만, 전구 지면온도의 분포 및 변화, 대륙 연안 지역의 800 hPa 바람장, 200 hPa 동서방향 바람장 등은 최신의 기후모델과 유사한 모의 특성을 보였다. 특히 최근 6천년간의 장기 기후변화 실험은 단일 CPU 환경에서 약 4일 정도의 적분을 통해 수행되었음에도 CMIP5/PMIP3 기후모델들에서 모의된 두 시기의 지면온도의 주요한 차이를 잘 모의하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇듯 중간복잡도 지구시스템모델은 상대적으로 낮은 정확도로 인하여 범용적인 연구 도구로 활용되기에는 한계가 있지만, 고기후 등 특정 분야의 연구에서는 매우 유용한 연구 도구로 활용될 수 있다. 이러한 활용성은 중간복잡도 지구시스템모델을 이용한 여러 연구 결과들에서도 살펴볼 수 있으며, 이 기술 노트에서 소개된 LOVECLIM의 특성 및 설치 과정이 LOVECLIM을 이용한 다양한 국내 연구에 기여할 수 있길 기대한다.

본 연구는 KOMPSAT-3 및 KOMPSAT-3A호에서 전처리 단계에 따라 구분하여 제공하는 Level 1R 영상과 Level 1G 영상을 이용하여 기준영상의 기하품질에 따른 상호좌표등록 결과 분석을 수행하였다. 기준영상으로 Level 1R 영상 및 1G 영상 각각을 사용하고 대상영상은 Level 1R 영상을 사용하여 상호좌표등록을 수행하였다. 실험을 위해 대전지역에서 촬영된 KOMPSAT-3 및 3A호의 Level 1R, 1G 영상 총 7장을 이용하였다. 상호좌표등록을 수행하기 위해, 우선적으로 특징기반 정합기법인 SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Feature) 기법과 영역기반 정합기법인 위상상관 (Phase Correlation) 기법을 함께 이용한 반복적 정합기법을 통해 두 영상의 기하학적 위치를 개략적으로 일치시켜 주었다. 개략적으로 일치된 영상에서 SURF 기법을 이용하여 정합쌍을 추출하고 Affine 변환모델과 Piecewise Linear 변환모델을 각각 구성하여 상호좌표등록을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 기하오차가 보정된 Level 1G 영상을 기준영상으로 선정하였을 경우, Level 1R 영상을 이용하였을 때보다 상대적으로 많은 수의 정합쌍을 추출하였다. 또한, 기준영상이 Level 1G 영상일 때의 상호좌표등록 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) 값이 평균 5화소 미만으로 Level 1R 영상을 이용하였을 때보다 더 낮은 것을 확인하였다. 이는 상호좌표등록 수행 시 두 위성영상 간의 초기위치관계가 상호좌표등록 결과에 영향을 끼칠 수 있음을 의미하며, 기준영상의 기하품질이 우수할수록 안정적인 상호좌표등록 정확도를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.
