해양에서 기름 유출 사고로 인한 오염도를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서, 사고 현장에서 기름을 직접 탐지할 수 있는 센서의 적용이 필요하다. 여러 형태의 기름 탐지 센서 중에서, 기름 성분에 의한 형광 현상(fluorescence)을 탐지 원리로 하는 센서는 해수 중에 존재하는 기름의 농도를 측정할 수 있으므로 효용성이 높은 장점을 갖고 있다. 그러나 이런 종류의 센서는 기름의 형광 현상을 야기시키기 위해서, 수은 램프(mercury lamp)와 같은 자외선 광원(ultraviolet light source)이 필요하고 다양한 종류의 광학 필터와 광전증배관(photomultiplier tube, PMT)과 같은 광학 센서가 주로 사용된다. 이러한 이유로 형광 측정을 기반으로 하고 있는 센서는 측정 플랫폼의 크기가 크기 때문에 현장에서 원활히 사용하기에 한계가 있으며, 고가의 부품들이 집적되어 있어, 센서의 가격이 높은 단점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 소형의 크기와 가격 경쟁력을 갖고 있는 형광 광도계 기반의 기름 탐지 센서를 설계하는 방법에 대해서 제시하였다. 형광 광도계의 설계 인자를 파악하기 위한 방법으로, 본 연구에서는 5종의 원유 샘플과 3종의 정제유를 이용하여, 기름의 여기 스펙트럼(excitation spectrum)과 발광 스펙트럼(emission spectrum)을 측정하였다. 여기 스펙트럼과 발광 스펙트럼의 측정을 위해서는 형광 분광기(fluorescence spectrometer)를 이용하였고, 측정된 스펙트럼 자료를 분석하여 형광 광도계(fluorimeter) 설계에 필요한 유종에 따른 공통 스펙트럼 파장 대역을 도출하였다. 본 실험을 통해서 모든 종류의 기름 샘플의 경우, 여기 스펙트럼과 발광 스펙트럼의 최고 값을 갖는 파장의 차이는 약 50 nm인 것으로 파악되었다. 실험 중에서, 여기광의 파장을 365 nm와 405 nm로 고정하였을 경우, 280 nm와 325 nm로 고정하였을 경우에 비해서 최대 발광(emission)의 세기가 작아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 형광 광도계의 광원 파장을 365 nm 또는 405 nm로 사용할 경우, 광학 센서의 민감도(sensitivity)가 발광되는 빛의 세기를 측정할 수 있도록 설계에 반영해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 실험에서 도출된 결과를 통해서, 기름 탐지를 위한 형광 광도계의 광원, 광학 센서 그리고 광학 필터의 유효 파장 대역을 선택하는데 필요한 설계 인자를 파악할 수 있었다.

The district of Marlborough has had more than its share of river management projects over the past 150 years, each one uniquely affecting the geomorphology and flood hazard of the Wairau Plains. A major early project was to block the Opawa distributary channel at Conders Bend. The Opawa distributary channel took a third and more of Wairau River floodwaters and was a major increasing threat to Blenheim. The blocking of the Opawa required the Wairau and Lower Wairau rivers to carry greater flood flows more often. Consequently the Lower Wairau River was breaking out of its stopbanks approximately every seven years. The idea of diverting flood waters at Tuamarina by providing a direct diversion to the sea through the beach ridges was conceptualised back around the 1920s however, limits on resources and machinery meant the mission of excavating this diversion didn't become feasible until the 1960s. In 1964 a 10 m wide pilot channel was cut from the sea to Tuamarina with an initial capacity of $700m^3/s$. It was expected that floods would eventually scour this 'Wairau Diversion' to its design channel width of 150 m. This did take many more years than initially thought but after approximately 50 years with a little mechanical assistance the Wairau Diversion reached an adequate capacity. Using the power of the river to erode the channel out to its design width and depth was a brilliant idea that saved many thousands of dollars in construction costs and it is somewhat ironic that it is that very same concept that is now being used to deal with the aggradation problem that the Wairau Diversion has caused. The introduction of the Wairau Diversion did provide some flood relief to the lower reaches of the river but unfortunately as the Diversion channel was eroding and enlarging the Lower Wairau River was aggrading and reducing in capacity due to its inability to pass its sediment load with reduced flood flows. It is estimated that approximately $2,000,000m^3$ of sediment was deposited on the bed of the Lower Wairau River in the time between the Diversion's introduction in 1964 and 2010, raising the Lower Wairau's bed upwards of 1.5m in some locations. A numerical morphological model (MIKE-11 ST) was used to assess a number of options which led to the decision and resource consent to construct an erodible (fuse plug) bank at the head of the Wairau Diversion to divert more frequent scouring-flows ($+400m^3/s$)down the Lower Wairau River. Full control gates were ruled out on the grounds of expense. The initial construction of the erodible bank followed in late 2009 with the bank's level at the fuse location set to overtop and begin washing out at a combined Wairau flow of $1,400m^3/s$ which avoids berm flooding in the Lower Wairau. In the three years since the erodible bank was first constructed the Wairau River has sustained 14 events with recorded flows at Tuamarina above $1,000m^3/s$ and three of events in excess of $2,500m^3/s$. These freshes and floods have resulted in washout and rebuild of the erodible bank eight times with a combined rebuild expenditure of $80,000. Marlborough District Council's Rivers & Drainage Department maintains a regular monitoring program for the bed of the Lower Wairau River, which consists of recurrently surveying a series of standard cross sections and estimating the mean bed level (MBL) at each section as well as an overall MBL change over time. A survey was carried out just prior to the installation of the erodible bank and another survey was carried out earlier this year. The results from this latest survey show for the first time since construction of the Wairau Diversion the Lower Wairau River is enlarging. It is estimated that the entire bed of the Lower Wairau has eroded down by an overall average of 60 mm since the introduction of the erodible bank which equates to a total volume of $260,000m^3$. At a cost of $$0.30/m^3$ this represents excellent value compared to mechanical dredging which would likely be in excess of $$10/m^3$. This confirms that the idea of using the river to enlarge the channel is again working for the Wairau River system and that in time nature's "excavator" will provide a channel capacity that will continue to meet design requirements.

자연정화방법 중 처리효과가 널리 알려진 인공습지를 농공단지 폐수처리에 적용할 수 있는지 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 천안시에 위치한 백석농공단지에 시작품을 설치하여 현장실험한 결과를 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 처리조의 폐수유입량은 약 $0.2m^3/m^2\;{\cdot}$일이었으며 처리조내의 이론적인 체류기간은 약 1.05일이었다. 1. 유입폐수의 농도가 방류수 수질기준치보다 낮은 경우가 많았는데, 특히 T-N과 T-P는 지속적으로 모두 기준치보다 크게 낮아서 이 부분은 처리가 불필요한 정도이었으며, 평균처리율은 T-N, T-P가 각각 41%, 50% 정도를 유지하였다. 2. DO의 경우는 유입수보다 유출수의 농도가 높아서 깊이 0.6m의 처리조내에 산소가 대기로부터의 재폭기를 통하여 원활히 공급되며, 호기성처리에 문제가 없음을 알 수 있다. 3. BOD와 COD는 유입수의 농도 변화폭이 컸는데, 이에 따라 유출수의 농도도 수질기준치를 초과하는 경우가 많았다. 평균처리율이 BOD는 약 56%이며 COD는 약 43%로 처리효과는 뚜렷하였으나, 유입수의 농도가 높으면 수질기준치를 만족시키지 못하였고, 특히 기온이 낮으면 효율이 낮아져 인공습지방법의 본격적인 적용을 위해서는 이 부분을 보안하기 위한 추가연구가 요구된다. 그러나 이와 같이 기온이 떨어지는 시기에도 BOD와 COD가 각각 50.2%와 43%의 처리율을 유지하였다. 4. SS는 유입수의 농도가 60mg/l까지 변화하였으나, 유출수는 지속적으로 15mg/l 이하로 낮아서 인공습지에 토양으로 구성된 처리조를 통과하며 SS는 매우 효과적으로 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 5. 인공습지에 의한 처리방법을 항구적으로 도입하기 위해서는 온도가 떨어지는 10월 이후의 보온대책을 연구하여 겨울철에도 처리효율을 유지할 수 있는 방법을 강구해야 할 것이다. 6. 본 연구결과에 의하면 전반적으로 인공습지를 농공단지 폐수처리에 적용시킬 수 있다고 판단되며, BOD와 COD 처리의 부족한 부분은 보완성 추가처리를 병행하면 효과적으로 해결할 수 있다고 생각한다. 특히 이 방법에는 시설비, 에너지, 그리고 전문적인 유지관리가 거의 필요없어서 매우 경제적이고 실용적임을 고려하면 농공단지 폐수처리뿐만 아니라 생활오수나 축산폐수 등 응용범위를 확대할 수 있다고 생각한다.

A new approach to reduce the computation time of genetic algorithm (GA) for making binary phase holograms is described. Synthesized holograms having diffraction efficiency of 75.8% and uniformity of 5.8% are proven in computer simulation and experimentally demonstrated. Recently, computer-generated holograms (CGHs) having high diffraction efficiency and flexibility of design have been widely developed in many applications such as optical information processing, optical computing, optical interconnection, etc. Among proposed optimization methods, GA has become popular due to its capability of reaching nearly global. However, there exits a drawback to consider when we use the genetic algorithm. It is the large amount of computation time to construct desired holograms. One of the major reasons that the GA' s operation may be time intensive results from the expense of computing the cost function that must Fourier transform the parameters encoded on the hologram into the fitness value. In trying to remedy this drawback, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been put forward, allowing CGHs to be created easily and quickly (1), but the quality of reconstructed images is not high enough to use in applications of high preciseness. For that, we are in attempt to find a new approach of combiningthe good properties and performance of both the GA and ANN to make CGHs of high diffraction efficiency in a short time. The optimization of CGH using the genetic algorithm is merely a process of iteration, including selection, crossover, and mutation operators [2]. It is worth noting that the evaluation of the cost function with the aim of selecting better holograms plays an important role in the implementation of the GA. However, this evaluation process wastes much time for Fourier transforming the encoded parameters on the hologram into the value to be solved. Depending on the speed of computer, this process can even last up to ten minutes. It will be more effective if instead of merely generating random holograms in the initial process, a set of approximately desired holograms is employed. By doing so, the initial population will contain less trial holograms equivalent to the reduction of the computation time of GA's. Accordingly, a hybrid algorithm that utilizes a trained neural network to initiate the GA's procedure is proposed. Consequently, the initial population contains less random holograms and is compensated by approximately desired holograms. Figure 1 is the flowchart of the hybrid algorithm in comparison with the classical GA. The procedure of synthesizing a hologram on computer is divided into two steps. First the simulation of holograms based on ANN method [1] to acquire approximately desired holograms is carried. With a teaching data set of 9 characters obtained from the classical GA, the number of layer is 3, the number of hidden node is 100, learning rate is 0.3, and momentum is 0.5, the artificial neural network trained enables us to attain the approximately desired holograms, which are fairly good agreement with what we suggested in the theory. The second step, effect of several parameters on the operation of the hybrid algorithm is investigated. In principle, the operation of the hybrid algorithm and GA are the same except the modification of the initial step. Hence, the verified results in Ref [2] of the parameters such as the probability of crossover and mutation, the tournament size, and the crossover block size are remained unchanged, beside of the reduced population size. The reconstructed image of 76.4% diffraction efficiency and 5.4% uniformity is achieved when the population size is 30, the iteration number is 2000, the probability of crossover is 0.75, and the probability of mutation is 0.001. A comparison between the hybrid algorithm and GA in term of diffraction efficiency and computation time is also evaluated as shown in Fig. 2. With a 66.7% reduction in computation time and a 2% increase in diffraction efficiency compared to the GA method, the hybrid algorithm demonstrates its efficient performance. In the optical experiment, the phase holograms were displayed on a programmable phase modulator (model XGA). Figures 3 are pictures of diffracted patterns of the letter "0" from the holograms generated using the hybrid algorithm. Diffraction efficiency of 75.8% and uniformity of 5.8% are measured. We see that the simulation and experiment results are fairly good agreement with each other. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm and Neural Network have been successfully combined in designing CGHs. This method gives a significant reduction in computation time compared to the GA method while still allowing holograms of high diffraction efficiency and uniformity to be achieved.

The purpose of this study was to develop a parenting intervention program and determine the efficacy of the program with low-birth weight infants and their mothers. Nine dyads for the experimental group and twelve dyads for the control group discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in Seoul were recruited for the study. For the intervention group, programmed education and support which focused on the maternal sensitivity of the infant's behavior. rearing environment. motherinfant interaction and infant care were given to each subject. Individual counseling and home visits were provided at discharge, one week after discharge. and one and three months of corrected age in every infant. Structured questionaires were administered and feeding interactions were videotaped and coded by a blinded certified observer. A Quasi-experimental design was conducted for this study. Postpartum depression, maternal self esteem. infant care burden, HOME. mother-infant interaction, and infant development were measured. Results were in favor of the intervention versus the control group. On the Beck depression inventory, intervention mothers showed decreasing trends in depressive symptom vs control mothers although, there were statistically no significant differences between the two groups at each time. The mean score of experimental group was 11.55(mild depression state) at discharge and became 8,6(normal state) at 1 month of corrected age. On the other hand, the mean score of the control group was 13.92(mild depression state) at discharge and became 14.0. Maternal self esteem in both groups improved over time. Infant care burden in both groups was also shown to increase over time. There was a significant difference between the two groups in HOME(p=.0340) at 3 months of corrected age. HOME scores of the experimental group and the control's were 31.10 and 25.58, respectively. Mothers' emotional and language responses were significantly high in the intervention group compared with the control group(p=.0155). Intervention group (53.33) showed a significantly high quality of motherinfant interaction compared with the in control group (42.80)(p =.0340). Intervention group mothers appeared have a better quality of mother-infant interaction behaviors. On the other hand, there was no statistical difference in the infant part between groups. Intervention group infants had higher trends in a general developmental quotient: although, there was no statistical difference between groups. The general developmental quotient of intervention infants was 102.56 and control's was 91.28. However, the developmental quotient of the domain of 'individuality-sociality' was higher in the intervention group infants compared with the control's(p=.0155). The concerns identified by parents revealed two domains of an infants' health management -knowledge and skills in caregiving of lowbirthweight-infants, characteristics of lowbirthweight infants, identifying a developmental milestone, coping with emergency situations and relaxation strategies of mothers from the infant care burden. Interview data with the mothers of low-birth weight infants can be used to develop intervention program contents. Limited intervention time and frequency due to time and cost limitations of this study should be modified. The intervention should be continuously implemented when low-birth weight infants become three years old. An NNNS demonstration appeared to be a very effective intervention for the mothers to improve the quality of mother-infant interactions. Therefore intervening in the mothers of low-birth weight infants as early after delivery as possible is desirable. This study has shown that home visit interventions are worthwhile for mothers only beyond the approach as an essential factor in ability of facilitating a growth fostering environment. In conclusion. the intervention program of this study was very effective in enhancing the parenting for the mothers of low-birth weight infants, resulting in health promotion of low-birth weight infants. The home-visit outreach intervention program of this study will contribute to the health delivery system in this country where there is a lack of continuous follow-up programs for low-birth weight infants after discharge from NICU, if it is activated as part of the home visit programs in community health systems.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast the applicability and effectiveness of both teukyakmeip contracts of Korea and consignment contracts of the United State to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicability of teukyakmeip in Korea. These are popular contract agreements between large retailers and their suppliers and vendors. In recent years, teukyakmeip was critically examined and scrutinized by the politicians, the media, and the public of Korea. Consequently, this paper focusesheavily on identifying and analyzing different types of contract agreements between large retailers and their suppliers that currently exist in Korea and compares and contrasts those analyzed contract agreements with teukyakmeip. The article also comparesand contrasts teukyakmeip with the consignment agreements of the United States to identify similarities and differences. Research design, data, and methodology - This study is a descriptive study and has used personal interviews to collect and analyze the data. This study also fits the definition of the case study wherein it is entirely focused on investigating a real-life event: analyzing and examining contract agreements in the distribution industry. Both randomly selected management and vendor representatives from the three major department stores, Lotte, Hyundai, and Shinsegae, in Korea were interviewed between July and September 2013. The analysis of the consignment agreement was conducted based on existing secondary data. Results - Although the evidence of the abuse of teukyakmeip and consignment by large retailers from both countries clearly exists, the findings suggestthat both contract agreements would remain as the most relevant and effective legal contracts between large retailers and their suppliers. Based on the comparisonanalysis of teukyakmeip and consignment, both contracts indicated that suppliers are fully responsible for inventory and inventory management. If sales person is necessary for promoting special product, then suppliers are responsible for providing a sales person and their wages under both contracts. However, American department stores, those located outside urban area, tend to use their own employees to perform special product and sales promotion. The retailersare fully responsible for any interior or floor design or redesign of the retail store to accommodate the products from vendors under consignment; however, both suppliers and retailers share the cost of designing and redesigning the interior to accommodate vendors'products under teukyakmeip. Suppliers are responsible for pricing and supplying the quantity of the products under both agreements. Both contracts allow special sales commission as long as vendors agreed. Vendors use this special commissionto introduce their new products or apply market penetration strategy. Conclusions -The findings of this study showed the changing pattern of contract agreements between large retailers and their suppliers from both countries. Furthermore, this study evidently generated policy implications of teukyakmeip which recently became the major social issue in Korea and attracted many policymakers to gain political points by criticizing the teukyakmeip system and the large retailers. The findings of the study would be valuable to policy makers in making appropriate decisions and to large retailers and vendors in making beneficial agreements. The major implication of this study is that teukyakmeip and consignment agreements include very similar or almost identical characteristics, and they are popular among department stores and suppliers. The issue of abolishing teukyakmeip in Korea needs to be examined cautiously because teukyakmeip is the best one available at the moment, and the study suggests that no one benefits from abolishing this system.

최근 급격한 경제성장과 더불어 국민 개개인의 삶의 질이 향상되고, 자동차 보급률의 폭발적인 증가로 인해 생활권역이 급속도로 확대되는 추세이다. 2012년 12월 말 기준으로 국내 자동차등록대수는 18,871만 대로 비약적인 증가를 보이고 있으며, 행정안전부의 주민등록인구수가 5,094만 명과 비교할 때 자동차 1대당 주민등록인구수는 약 4명으로 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 이는 자동차 수요가 많아 주택단지, 산업 및 상업단지 등 주차장의 수요도 함께 증가하고 있지만, 지상의 한정된 공간으로 인하여 대부분의 주차장을 지하로 설치하고 있는 실정이다. 특히, '주차장법'에 의하면 주차장의 경사는 직선부 17%, 곡선부 14%를 초과하지 못하도록 시행하고 있지만, 운전자가 주차장 램프 주행 중 멈춰선 경우에는 운전자 안전측면에서 커다란 위험요인으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 주차장 램프에 대해 운전자 안전성 측면의 적합성 여부를 검토하고자 한다. 우선, 주차장 램프 형식을 곡선부와 직선부로 분류하고, 경사별, 경사거리별, 방향별, 경사거리에 따른 지점별 등을 고려하여 주행실험 후 설문조사를 통해 주차장 램프 형식 및 제원을 산정하고자 한다. 그 결과, 곡선부는 반시계방향, 최대 경사 12%를 권유하며, 직선부의 경우 최대 경사는 13~14%로 분석되어 15% 이상은 지양해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 제시한 주차장 램프 형식 및 제원의 제시를 통해 향후 주차장 관련 기준 정립은 물론, 주차장관련 사업 추진 시 비용 효율적인 교통안전 개선대안으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Cyberspace permits us to more beyond traditional face-to-face, mail and telephone surveys, yet still to examine basic issues regarding the quality of data collection: sampling, questionnaire design, survey distribution, means of response, and database creation. This article address each of these issues by contrasting and comparing traditional survey methods(Paper-and-Pencil) with Internet or Personal Computer networks-mediated (Screen-and-Keyboard) survey methods also introduces researchers to this revolutionary and innovative tool and outlines a variety of practical methods for using the Internet or Personal Computer Networks. The revolution in telecommunications technology has fostered the rapid growth of the Internet all over the world. The Internet is a massive global network and comprising many national and international networks of interconnected computers. The Internet or Personal Computer Networks could be the comprehensive interactive tool that will facilitate the development of the skills. The Internet or Personal Computer Networks provides a virtual frontier to expand our access to information and to increase our knowledge and understanding of public opinion, political behavior, social trends and lifestyles through survey research. Comparable to other technological advancements, the Internet or Personal Computer Networks presents opportunities that will impact significantly on the process and quality of survey research now and in the twenty-first century. There are trade-offs between traditional and the Internet or Personal Computer Networks survey. The Internet or Personal Computer Networks is an important channel for obtaining information for target participants. The cost savings in time, efforts, and material were substantial. The use of the Internet or Personal Computer Networks survey tool will increase the quality of research environment. There are several limitations to the Internet or Personal Computer Network survey approach. It requires the researcher to be familiar with Internet navigation and E-mail, it is essential for this process. The use of Listserv and Newsgroup result in a biased sample of the population of corporate trainers. However, it is this group that participates in technology and is in the fore front of shaping the new organizations of interest, and therefore it consists of appropriate participants. If this survey method becomes popular and is too frequently used, potential respondents may become as annoyed with E-mail as the sometimes are with mail survey and junk mail. Being a member of the Listserv of Newsgroup may moderate that reaction. There is a need to determine efficient, effective ways for the researcher to strip identifiers from E-mail, so that respondents remain anonymous, while simultaneously blocking a respondent from responding to a particular survey instrument more than once. The optimum process would be on that is initiated by the researcher : simple, fast and inexpensive to administer and has credibility with respondents. This would protect the legitimacy of the sample and anonymity. Creating attractive Internet or Personal Computer Networks survey formats that build on the strengths of standardized structures but also capitalize on the dynamic and interactive capability of the medium. Without such innovations in survey design, it is difficult to imagine why potential survey respondents would use their time to answer questions. More must be done to create diverse and exciting ways of building an credibility between respondents and researchers on the Internet or Personal Computer Networks. We believe that the future of much exciting research is based in the Electronic survey research. The ability to communicate across distance, time, and national boundaries offers great possibilities for studying the ways in which technology and technological discourse are shaped. used, and disseminated ; the many recent doctoral dissertations that treat some aspect of electronic survey research testify to the increase focus on the Internet or Personal Computer Networks. Thus, scholars should begin a serious conversation about the methodological issues of conducting research In cyberspace. Of all the disciplines, Internet or Personal Computer Networks, emphasis on the relationship between technology and human communication, should take the lead in considering research in the cyberspace.
