This paper describes the detailed characteristics of heavy rainfall events occurred in Chungcheong province on 15 and 16 April and from 6 to 8 August 2002 based on the analysis of raingauge rainfall rate and radar reflectivity from the METRI's X-band Weather Radar located in Cheongju. A synoptic analysis of the case is carried out, first, and then the analysis is devoted to seeing how the radar observes the case and how much information we obtain. The highly resolved radar reflectivity of horizontal and vertical resolutions of 1 km and 500 m, respectively shows a three-dimensional structure of the precipitating system, in a similar sequence with the ground rainfall rate. The radar echo classification algorithm for convective/stratiform cloud is applied. In the convectively-classified area, the radar reflectivity pattern shows a fair agreement with that of the surface rainfall rate. This kind of classification using radar reflectivity is considered to be useful for the precipitation forecasting. Another noteworthy aspect of the case includes the effect of topography on the precipitating system, following the analysis of the surface rainfall rate, topography, and precipitating system. The results from this case study offer a unique opportunity of the usefulness of weather radar for better understanding of structural and variable characteristics of flash flood-producing heavy rainfall events, in particular for their improved forecasting.

국내 원자력 압력 용기의 피복하부 결함에 대한 검사는 1970년대 초부터 이 피복하부 결함에 대한 보고가 되기 시작하였으나 적용 규격인 ASME Code의 요구사항이 아니므로 현재까지는 검사를 수행해 오지 않고 있다. 본 실험의 목적은 이러한 피복하부 결함을 검출하는데 적절한 초음파검사 방법의 조건을 찾는 것이다. 실험은 $70^{\circ}$굴절종파, 50/70 multibeam탐촉자, SLIC-50 탐촉자 등을 사용하여 원자력 압력용기의 피복 용접과 같은 조건하에서 피복용접 시킨 초음파보정 시험편과 demonstration시험편에 대하여 수행하였다. 실험 결과 피복하부 결함의 검출은 50/70 multibeam탐촉자가 효과적이었으면, 피복하부 결함의 길이 평가는 $70^{\circ}$굴절종파로 수행하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났으며, 반면에 피복하부 결함의 깊이 측정은 SLIC-50 탐촉자를 사용하여 M-SPOT 방범과 M-PET 방법으로 평가하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we analyzed the changes in the echolocation and prey-capture behavior of the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum from search phase to capture time. The experiment was conducted in an indoor free-flight room fitted with an ultra-high-speed camera. We found that the bats searched for food while hanging from a structure, and capturing was carried out using the flight membrane. In addition, it was confirmed that the mouth and uropatagium were continuously used in tandem during the capturing process. Furthermore, using Constant Frequency (CF), we confirmed that the prey catching method reflected the wing morphology and echolocation pattern of R. ferrumequinum. The echolocation analysis revealed that the pulse duration, pulse interval, peak frequency, start-FM-bandwidth, and CF duration decreased as the search phase approached the terminal phase. Detailed analysis of echolocation pulse showed that the end-FM bandwidth, which increases as it gets nearer to the capture time of prey, was closely related to the accurate grasp of the location of an insect. At the final moment of prey capture, the passive listening that stopped the divergence of the echolocation was identified; this was determined to be the process of minimizing the interruption from the echo of the echolocation call emitted from the bat itself and sound waves emitted from the prey.

본 논문에서는 Polarity Thresholding(PT) 알고리즘을 원자력 발전소의 중요 배관 재료인 스테인레스강(SUS-304) 탐상에 응용하여 초음파 수신신호를 개선시키는 방법을 연구하였다. PT 알고리즘은 수신신호의 스펙트럼을 분할하여 얻은 각각의 주파수분할 신호들이 갖는, 결정립에 의한 간섭패턴의 분산적 신호와 결함에 의한 비분산적 신호를 구분하여 S/N 비를 개선시키는 것이다. 실험을 위하여, 실제 검사부위의 특성과 유사하게 스테인레스강을 각각 1125, 1150, 1175, $1200^\circ{C}$로 열처리하였고, 시료의 배면에 원통형 결함을 인공 가공하였다. 중심주파수가 5MHz인 초음파변환기를 사용하여, 펄스-반사법에 의해 데이터를 획득한 후 PT 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 개선된 S/N 비는 평균 14.2 dB로 나타났다.

The paddy irrigation demand for Nakdong river basin in Korea due to the climate change have been analyzed using regional climate model outputs. High-resolution (27 ${\times}$ 27 km) climate data for SRES A2 scenario produced by the Meteorological Research Institute (METRI), South Korea, and the observed baseline climatology dataset (1971-2000) were used. The outputs from the ECHO-G GCM model were dynamically downscaled using the MM5 regional model by METRI. Maps showing the predicted spatial variations of changes in climate parameters and paddy irrigation requirements have been produced using the geographic information system. The results of this study showed that the average growing season temperature will increase steadily by 1.5 $^{\circ}C$ (2020s A2), 3.2 $^{\circ}C$ (2050s A2) and 5.2 $^{\circ}C$ (2080s A2) from the baseline (1971-2000) 19.8 $^{\circ}C$. The average growing season rainfall will change by -3.4 % (2020s A2), 0.0 % (2050s A2) and +16.5 % (2080s A2) from the baseline value 886 mm. Assuming paddy area and cropping pattern remain unchanged the average volumetric irrigation demands were predicted to increase by 5.3 % (2020s A2), 8.1 % (2050s A2) and 2.2 % (2080s A2) from the baseline value 1.159 ${\times}$ $10^6\; m^3$. These projections are different from the previous study by Chung (2009) which used a different GCM and downscaling method and projected decreasing irrigation demands. This indicates that one should be careful in interpreting the results of similar studies.

Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) is a well established preoperative diagnostic procedure in the thyroid nodules. However, diagnostic accuracy of FNAC varies according to the size and the structural characteristics of thyroid nodule. We performed the ultrasound guided FNAC(US-guided FNAC) for impalpable thyroid nodule, and estimated the sampling accuracy rate through a comparison study between the cytologic diagnosis and the final histologic diagnosis of the postoperative specimens in order to determine clinical efficacy of the US-guided FNAC. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 117 patients underwent US-guided FNAC from January 1997 to December 1998. These patients had 129 thyroid nodules to need cytologic examination. Whereas the nodules were so no graphically classified into cystic, solid, and mixed type according to echo pattern, the aspirated thyroid specimens were classified into benign, malignant, suspicious, and insufficient. Results: Positive sampling for diagnositc examination was achieved in 75 nodules(58.1%), and US-guided FNAC in our study showed the accuracy rate of 95.2%, false positivity rate of 0%, and false negativity rate of 5.5%. Conclusions: US-guided FNAC is a powerful techniques for evaluating cytologic characterics and allowing a reliable diagnositc result in the impalpable thyroid nodule. However, the experienced technique is recommanded in order to obtain the sufficient samples for reliable results.

Climate extreme variability is a major cause of disaster such as flood and drought types occurred in Korea and its effects is also more severe damage in last decades which can be danger mature events in the future. The main aim of this study was to assess the effectives of climate change on drought for an agriculture as Nakdong basin in Korea using climate change data in the future from data of General Circulation Models (GCM) of ECHO-G, with the developing countries like Korea, the developed climate scenario of medium-high greenhouse gas emission was proposed of the SRES A2. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was applied for drought evaluation. The drought index (SPI) applied for sites in catchment and it is evaluated accordingly by current and future precipitation data, specific as determined for data from nine precipitation stations with data covering the period 1980-2009 for current and three periods 2010-2039, 2040-2069 and 2070-2099 for future; time scales of 3month were used for evaluating. The results determined drought duration, magnitude and spatial extent. The drought in catchment act intensively occurred in March, April, May and November and months of drought extreme often appeared annual in May and November; drought frequent is a non-uniform cyclic pattern in an irregular repetitive manner, but results showed drought intensity increasing in future periods. The results indicated also spatial point of view, the SPI analysis showed two of drought extents; local drought acting on one or more one of sites and entire drought as cover all of site in catchment. In addition, the meteorology drought simulation maps of spatial drought representation were carried out with GIS software to generate for some drought extreme years in study area. The method applied in this study are expected to be appropriately applicable to the evaluation of the effects of extreme hydrologic events, the results also provide useful for the drought warning and sustainable water resources management strategies and policy in agriculture basins.

하천에 설치된 교량의 유지관리는 시설물 안전점검과 그 결과에 따른 보수·보강의 절차를 거쳐 이루어진다. 그 동안 교량 상부구조의 안전점검은 접근성이 용이하여 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔으나, 하천에 설치된 교각 기초부의 세굴여부에 대하여는 직접조사가 곤란하여 이론에 근거한 관리에 머물러 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 하천에 설치된 교량 기초의 세굴을 음향측심기 및 VRS 등을 활용하여 하상 지반고의 형상을 3D 형태로 구현하였다. 이로써 교량 설치 당시의 하상 지반고와 비교·분석 등을 통해 세굴양상에 대한 예측이 가능하게 되었다. 이 결과들을 바탕으로 해당 교각 기초의 국부세굴 여부 파악 및 장기하상저하 예측을 위한 초기치 자료로 활용한다면 기초세굴로 인한 교량붕괴를 예방할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
