Supposing that somatotype evaluation results would have significant differences between the public group with less amounts of exercises and the special group with intensive exercises for three to four times a day, this study aimed at comparing the mutual consistency between the results determined by somatotype evaluation tools such as visually calculated index(VCI), R$\ddot{o}$hrer's Index(RI) and Body Mass Index(BMI). The public, taekwondo players and judo players groups were composed of fifty persons, taekwondo players and judo players passed through VCI determination, respectively. Their height and weight were examined and analyzed with somatotype evaluation tools. Comparison of somatotype dispersion of RI and VCI showed that most women were determined by VCI as lean type but were determined by RI as normal type. And that women were determined by VCI as fat type but were determined by RI as normal type. Therefore both men and women showed significant differences in VCI and RI. Comparison of somatotype dispersion of VCI and BMI showed that both men and women were overestimated or underestimated by VCI rather than by BMI. Comparison of somatotype dispersion of RI and BMI showed that men were less determined by BMI as lean type compared with women; both men and women less determined by BMI rather than by RI as normal type; and both men and women, in particular, were more determined by BMI as fat type but men were more determined by BMI rather than by RI as fat type. Total somatotype consistency by tools showed that VCI has the greatest possibility of determining the public group, compared with other groups as lean type and that the consistency of the three tools were relatively higher for the taekwondo players and judo players groups, compared with the public.

Modern artworks are constructed using a variety of materials and techniques. Sculptures, which predominantly consist of metals, usually have different shapes and consist of different material mixtures. The structural and material properties of these sculptures are often controlled by conservation treatment methods. However, the application of existing treatment methods is challenging at times, indicating that more diverse treatment materials and techniques are necessary. Therefore, in this study, a treatment method that employs volatile corrosion inhibitor(VCI) powder, rather than an anti-corrosion solution, for the conservation and management of metal artworks was used. VCI powder and VCI films containing VCI powder were used, and the results obtained confirmed that both of them showed anti-corrosion effect. Only a slight change in the chromaticity of metal samples was observed, and compared to the untreated samples, the application of the VCI powder resulted in a decrease in the rate of corrosion by half. Moreover, VCI film tests revealed that comparing to the untreated or polyethylene film-treated samples, VCI film treatment resulted in a decrease in the occurrence of corrosion compounds. The contact angle, surface energy, and surface electrical resistance were measured, and the evaluation of these surface properties established the anti-corrosion effect of VCI. Additionally, direct application of VCI and VCI films on actual sculptures further confirmed the anti-corrosion effect of VCI.

In this study, after estimating VCI (Vegation Condition Index), TCI (Thermal Condition Index) and VHI (Vegetation Health Index) from the NDVI (Normalized Differentiation Vegetation Index) and LST (Land Surface Temperature) remotely sensed at major sites in Korea during the 2001-1919 period, the correlation between these indices and various drought indices is analyzed for the purpose of assessing the effects of ecological drought. The relative impact of VCI and TCI on vegetation health was found to vary by region. The effects of drought on vegetation in Korea's forest areas could be more clearly identified in TCI than in VCI. It is suggested that the revised VHI, reflecting the relative influence of VCI and TCI, can better explain the effects of drought on vegetation.

In this study, the MODIS NDVI for the period of $2000{\sim}2007$ was collected and processed to obtain VCI and SVI which are the quantitative indexes of drought. The VCI and SVI based on NDVI can be used for understanding seasonal pattern of vegetation, drought identification and quantitative analysis of drought. VCI and SVI compared with monthly precipitation ratio to average, Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI), and etc., which are used to identify spring drought, to analyze drought region, similarity and difference in drought severity. In addition, frequency of Spring droughts were calculated for the period of $2000{\sim}2007$, and the usability of the MODIS images as a tool for establishing countermeasures against drought was presented by analyzing drought frequently areas.

In this paper, we propose an efficient VP extension algorithm for ABR multipoint-to-point connection in ATM networks. The VC merging or VP merging is used to implement ABR multipoint-to-point connection. We use the VP merging technique. To solve the scarcity problem of VP resources, we propose an efficient VP extension algorithm. Since the proposed scheme follows the standard VPI/VCI format, it doesn’t require another table according to the VP extension. We compare the proposed scheme with VC merging algorithm. The result shows that the proposed method can provide fair bandwidth allocation among the sources in multipoint-to-point connection.

2008년 여름 우리나라는 예년과 달리 홍수기에 북상하는 태풍이나 8월말에서 9월초까지 발생하던 장마전선의 영향을 받지 못했을 뿐만 아니라 홍수기 이후에도 중국에서 다가오는 동서고압대의 지속적인 영향으로 9월 중순 최고기온을 경신하면서, 강수가 없는 건조한 날씨가 계속되었다. 남부지방을 중심으로 8월말 이후 심화된 가뭄은 9월 중순에는 전국적으로 확산되었으며 도서지역의 부분적인 제한급수가 실시되거나 밭 작물 재배에 피해를 초래하기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 위성영상 기반의 식생지수를 이용하여 2008년 가을가뭄의 시공간적 변화와 행정구역별, 권역별 가뭄 우심지역을 판별하였다. 또한, 가뭄정보를 제공하는 가뭄모니터링 시스템의 가뭄지수와 가뭄의 변화와 심도 등을 비교하였다. 위성영상자료는 MODIS NDVI를 이용하여 제작한 VCI와 SVI를 이용하였으며, 수자원공사의 '가뭄정보시스템'에서 제공하는 주 단위의 가뭄지수와 한국건설기술연구원 '통합수자원평가계획 시스템개발'에서 제공하는 월 단위의 가뭄지수를 활용하였다. 연구결과 행정구역상으로는 전라남 북도와 경상남도 지역이, 권역별로는 섬진 영산강 권역에서 극심한 가뭄이 발생한 것으로 판명되었으며 식생지수 기반의 가뭄발생지역 판별 결과와 기상학적 가뭄지수인 SPI와 PDSI의 가뭄분포가 유사하게 나타났다.

Drought is one of the major environmental disasters. Weather data, particularity rainfall, are currently the primary source of information widely used for drought monitoring. However, weather data are often from a very sparse meteorological network, incomplete and/or not always available in good time to enable relatively accurate and timely drought detection. Data from remote sensing platforms can be used to complements weather data in drought. Therefore, data obtained from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer(AVHRR) sensor on board the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites have been studied as a tool for drought monitoring. The normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)-based vegetation condition index(VCI) were used in this study These indices showed their excellent ability to detect vegetation stress due to drought. The results clearly show that temporal and spatial characteristics of drought in Korea can be detected and mapped by the VCI index.

Construction delay caused considerable losses to project parties. Avoiding construction delays is important to save costs for project stakeholders. The main objective of this paper is to identify major causes of construction delays of apartment construction projects in Vietnam. Sixteen causes of delay were identified through a questionnaire survey of 166 professionals. Factor analysis was employed to categorize these causes. The results of the survey revealed the main causes of delay of apartment projects in Vietnam are: (1) owner's and contractor'S financial difficulties; (2) lack of experienced contractors; (3) late delivery of materials; (4) late construction site handover; (5) owner's late payments for completed works; (6) low bid prices; (7) inappropriate construction method; and (8) defective works and unnecessary reworks. Factor analysis uncovered that causes of delay can be grouped under five categories labeled the five INs: incompetence, ineffectiveness, inadequateness, inapplicableness and inconceivableness. Comparative analysis between the Vietnam construction industry (VCI) and the Korea construction industry (KCI) has been performed to infer valuable lessons for researchers and practitioners in the VCI and the KCI. Comparative analysis indicated that main causes of delay in the VCI somewhat differ from main causes of delay in the KCI. However, "contractor'S financial difficulties", "late construction site handover", "unnecessary rework", "incapable designers", "site clearance difficulties" are common causes of delay in the VCI as well as the KCI. The findings of this research can be used as a guideline to overcome problems in the VCI as well as in other construction industries. Since Korea has emerged as the first largest foreign investor in Vietnam, the results of this study may be useful not only to practitioners and researchers in Vietnam but also to participants in Korea.

For maintaining a reliable and secure power system, this paper describes the design and implement of a single-phase grid-connected inverter with an enhanced phase-locked loop (PLL) and excellent power control performance. For designing the enhanced PLL and power regulator, a full-bridge voltage-controlled inverter (VCI) is investigated. When the grid frequency deviates from its reference values, the output frequency of the VCI is unstable with an oscillation of 2 doubling harmonics. The reason for this oscillation is analyzed mathematically. This oscillation leads to an injection of harmonics into the grid and even causes an output active power oscillation of the VCI. For eliminating the oscillation caused by a PLL, an oscillation compensation method is proposed. With the proposed method, the VCI maintains the original PLL control characteristics and improves the PLL robustness under grid frequency deviations. On the basis of the above analysis, a power regulator with the primary frequency and voltage modulation characteristics is analyzed and designed. Meanwhile, a small-signal model of the power loops is established to determine the control parameters. The VCI can accurately output target power and has primary frequency and voltage modulation characteristics that can provide active and reactive power compensation to the grid. Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to verify the idea.
