Forest disturbances including forest fire, insect pests and diseases, landslides, and forest conversion from 1976 to 2005 were investigated to trace the changes of major forest disturbance agents and their characteristics over time in accordance with changes in natural and social environment in South Korea. While the damaged area by insect pests and diseases continuously decreased for the past 30 years, damaged areas by forest fire and landslide were fluctuating through years. The interval of large forest fires has become shorter with increased tree volume. The precipitation between January and April were significantly correlated with large fire occurrences as Pearson's correlation coefficient -0.400 (P=0.029). The composition of major insect pests and diseases damaging Korean forests has been changed continuously, and become more diversified. While damages by pine caterpillar (Dendrolimus spectabilis) and pine needle gall midge (Thecodiplosis japonensis) decreased, damage by introduced pests has been more serious recently. The change of precipitation pattern that brought more localized heavy rain or powerful typhoon resulted in the recent increase in landslide areas. The major land uses to induce forest conversion have been changed, reflecting the changes in industrial structure in South Korea as agriculture and mining in 1970s, mining and golf ranges classified in pasture in 1980s, and road and housing construction in 1990s and 2000s. Changes in forest disturbance patterns in South Korea show that a country's industrial development is jointly working with global warming on forest stand dynamics. Altering energy structure and land use pattern induced by industrial development accumulates forest volume and reforms microenvironments on forest floor, interacting with climate change, inducing shorter interval of large forest fire and changes in major species composition of forest insect pests and diseases.

Electrical tree is studied widely by manufacture state of insulating material fare and blazing fire diagnosis system of use in phenomenon of part discharge that happen for main cause of dielectric breakdown of equipment for electric power. Use process that draw tree pattern here measuring above zero to study special quality of this electricity tree, real-time processing by image processing is proposed because reproduction of tree blazing fire process drops and pattern of tree is difficult correct quantification of tree growth by existent visual observation by involution. This research presents general process that need in image processing of tree blazing fire, and that remove various noises that happen in above zero by measuring electrical tree dividing background and complete view in measured above zero taking advantage of specially proposed complete view object abstraction techniques effectively and quantification of tree becomes easy naturally, can apply to dielectric breakdown estimate because can chase growth process of tree.

This paper presents a knowledge-based electrical fire cause diagnosis system using the fuzzy reasoning. The cause diagnosis of electrical fires may be approached either by studying electric facilities or by investigating cause using precision instruments at the fire site. However, cause diagnosis methods for electrical fires haven't been systematized yet. The system focused on database(DB) construction and cause diagnosis can diagnose the causes of electrical fires easily and efficiently. The cause diagnosis system for the electrical fire was implemented with entity-relational DB systems using Access 2000, one of DB development tools. Visual Basic is used as a DB building tool. The inference to confirm fire causes is conducted on the knowledge-based by combined approach of a case-based and a rule-based reasoning. A case-based cause diagnosis is designed to match the newly occurred fire case with the past fire cases stored in a DB by a kind of pattern recognition. The rule-based cause diagnosis includes intelligent objects having fuzzy attributes and rules, and is used for handling knowledge about cause reasoning. A rule-based using a fuzzy reasoning has been adopted. To infer the results from fire signs, a fuzzy operation of Yager sum was adopted. The reasoning is conducted on the rule-based reasoning that a rule-based DB system built with many rules derived from the existing diagnosis methods and the expertise in fire investigation. The cause diagnosis system proposes the causes obtained from the diagnosis process and showed possibility of electrical fire causes.

The present study investigates the spray characteristics of water mist nozzle with mid-low pressure for fire suppression. The examined nozzle types are swirl and spiral nozzle. The result shows that K factor of water mist nozzle is much smaller than those of general sprinkler. Spray angle of spiral nozzle is largest and more than $150^{\circ}$. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) of water mist nozzles is ranged between 100 and 200$\mu\textrm{m}$through measuring by image processing method. The spray pattern of spiral nozzle represent that water flux of first stream is 2 times larger than that of second stream. This study will contribute better understandings of the water-mist spray characteristics and useful daia for developing the water-mist nozzles.

전해 커패시터의 발열 메커니즘 및 소손 패턴 해석에서 최초의 출화는 1차측 전원으로 확인되었다. 전해 커패시터 외부의 방폭캡이 탄화되었고, 인접한 기판에도 탄화된 흔적을 확인되었으나 극성의 역사용, 과전압의 인가 및 금속한 충전 및 방전 등은 없었다. 전해 커패시터 내부를 X-ray 분석한 결과 전극 및 극판에는 이상이 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 부품 사양에 제시된 하한사양한계(LSL)는 144[${\mu}F$], 상한사양한계(USL)는 216[${\mu}F$]이며, 소손된 전해 커패시터의 공정능력분포(Cpk)가 1.21로 분석된 것으로 보아 공정 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 전해커패시터의 발열 메커니즘은 AC 과전압의 인가, 서지의 유입, 내부 온도의 상승, 기밀불량 등에 의해 지배되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전해 커패시터를 설계할 때 고려사항은 적절한 전압의 인가, 정확한 등가직렬저항(ESR)의 연결, 급속한 충전 및 방전의 제어, 충분한 유전정접의 여유(margin) 확보 등이 중요한 요소이다.

본 연구는 운항실습선을 대상으로 선내 승선자의 군집유형에 따른 피난 시간과 특성을 시뮬레이션에 의해 비교한 것으로, 크루즈선 승객은 승선 시 다양한 선내 활동이 가능하다는 관점에서 출발하였다. 그리고 승선자와의 인터뷰를 통해 승선 시 행동 유형을 군집유형 A(지정선실 내 재실), 군집유형 B(모든 승조원이 정상활동 공간에 위치), 군집유형 C(모든 승조원이 소속 식당에 위치)의 3가지로 분류하여 비교 평가하였다. 연구의 성과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 군집유형 B는 피난시간이 다른 유형에 비해 가장 빨랐고 피난 정체구간도 짧았다. 군집유형 C의 경우 승조원이 특정공간에 집중적으로 분포함에 따라 피난과정에서 Upper deck가 병목 구간으로 작용하였고 피난시간이 오래 걸렸다. 이상과 같은 결과로부터 동일한 선박 내에서도 화재 등의 재난 발생 시 선내 재실자의 분포특성에 맞는 피난 관리 및 대응책이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Because fire has significant impacts on fauna and flora in forest ecosystems, as well as socioeconomic influences to local community, it has been an important field of study for decades. One of the most common ways to reduce fire risk is to enhance fire-resilience of forest through fuel treatments including thinning and prescribed burning. Since fuel treatment can't be practiced over all forested areas, appropriate and effective strategies are needed. The present study aims to look at the relationship between spatial characteristics of forest structure measured with landscape pattern metrics and burn severity to provide guidelines for effective fuel treatments. Samchuck fire was selected for the study, and 232 grids covering the study areas were generated, and the grid size was 1km. The burn severity is measured with dNBR derived from satellite imagery, and spatial characteristics of forest structure were measured using FRAGSTATS for both landscape and class levels for each 1km grid. The results of this study strongly indicated that heterogeneity in composition and configuration of forests may significantly reduce burn severity. By enhancing heterogeneity of forests, fuel treatments for fire-resilience forest could be more effective.

Numerical methods are applied to simulate the smoke behavior in a ventilated tunnel using large eddy simulation (LES) which is incorporated in FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) with proper combustion and radiation model. In this study, present numerical results are compared with data obtained from experiments on pool fires in a ventilated tunnel. The model tunnel is $182m(L){\times}5.4m(W){\times}2.4m(H)$. Two fire scenarios with different ventilation rates are considered with two different fire strengths. The present results are analyzed with those from LES without combustion and radiation model and from RANS ($\kappa-\epsilon$) model as well. Temperature distributions caused by fire in tunnel are compared with each other. It is found that thermal stratification and smoke back-layer can be predicted by FDS and the temperature predictions by FDS show better results than LES without combustion and radiation model. The FDS solver, however, failed to predict correct flow pattern when the high ventilation rate is considered in tunnel because of the defects in the tunnel-inlet turbulence and the near-wall turbulence.
