Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) operates 2 solar radio observing facilities, e-CALLISTO (Earthwide network of Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Transportable Observatory) station and Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL). Although e-CALLISTO tracking system improvement.is underway, at least 6 new events were observed in this year. Software development for KSRBL is in progress. The antenna calibration software was updated and flux calibration software was developed. Also the automatic daily overview spectrum monitoring system is now operational. We found solutions to several problems including spurious data and FPGA board communication. However, a few minor unsolved hardware problems still persist. Meanwhile, at least 6 new events were observed by KSRBL in this year, and a comparative study with HXR is currently underway.

Validation specifies and coordinates all relevant activities to ensure compliance with good laboratory practices (GLP) according to suitable international standards. This includes validation activities of past, present and future for the best possible actions to ensure the integrity of non-clinical laboratory data. Recently, validation has become increasingly important, not only in good manufacturing practice (GMP) institutions but also in GLP facilities. In accordance with the guideline for GLP regulations, all equipments used to generate, measure, or assess data should undergo validation to ensure that this equipment is of appropriate design and capacity and that it will consistently function as intended. Therefore, the implantation of validation processes is considered to be an essential step in a global institution. This review describes the procedures and documentations required for validation of GLP. It introduces basic elements such as the validation master plan, risk assessment, gap analysis, design qualification, installation qualification, operational qualification, performance qualification, calibration, traceability, and revalidation.

A watershed model was constructed using Hydrological Simulation Program Fortran to quantitatively predict the stream flows at major tributaries of Nakdong River basin, Korea. The entire basin was divided into 32 segments to effectively account for spatial variations in meteorological data and land segment parameter values of each tributary. The model was calibrated at ten tributaries including main stream of the river for a three-year period (2008 to 2010). The deviation values (Dv) of runoff volumes for operational stream flow forecasting for a six month period (2012.1.2 to 2012.6.29) at the ten tributaries ranged from -38.1 to 23.6%, which is on average 7.8% higher than those of runoff volumes for model calibration (-12.5 to 8.2%). The increased prediction errors were mainly from the uncertainties of numerical weather prediction modeling; nevertheless the stream flow forecasting results presented in this study were in a good agreement with the measured data.

Permanent magnet sodium flowmeter (PMSF) have been used to measure the sodium flow in fast breeder reactors. Due to the effects of irradiation, thermal cycling, time lapse, etc., the magnetic flux density of the PMSF will decrease after being used in the reactor for a period of time. Therefore, it must be calibrated regularly. But some flowmeters that immersed in sodium cannot be removed for an off-line calibration, so the on-line calibration is required. However, the best online calibration accuracy of PMSF using cross-correlation analysis method was 2.0-level without considering the repeatability. In order to further improve this work, the operational principle of the transducer in PMSF is analyzed and the design principle of the transducer is proposed. The transducers were tested on the sodium flow loop to collect the experimental data. The signal characteristics are analyzed from the time and frequency domains, respectively. The cross-correlation analysis method based on biased estimation is adopted to obtain the flow rate. The verification experimental results showed that the measurement accuracy is 1.0-level when the flow velocity is above 0.5 m/s, and the measurement accuracy is 3.0-level when the flow velocity is in the range of 0.2 m/s to 0.5 m/s.

This paper presents structural assessment of a steel railway bridge for current condition using modal parameter to upgrade finite element modeling in order to gather accurate result. An adequate monitoring, such as acceleration, displacement, strain monitoring, is important tool to understand behavior and to assess structural performance of the structure under surround vibration by means of the dynamic analysis. Evaluation of conditions of an existing steel railway bridge consist of 4 decks, three of them are 14 m, one of them is 9.7 m, was performed with a numerical analysis and a series of dynamic tests. Numerical analysis was performed implementing finite element model of the bridge using SAP2000 software. Dynamic tests were performed by collecting acceleration data caused by surrounding vibrations and dynamic analysis is performed by Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) using collected acceleration data. The acceleration response of the steel bridge is assumed to be governing response quantity for structural assessment and provide valuable information about the current statute of the structure. Modal identification determined based on response of the structure play significant role for upgrading finite element model of the structure and helping structural evaluation. Numerical and experimental dynamic properties are compared and finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing of material properties to reduce the differences between the results. In this paper, an existing steel railway bridge with four spans is evaluated by finite element model improved using operational modal analysis. Structural analysis performed for the bridge both for original and calibrated models, and results are compared. It is demonstrated that differences in natural frequencies are reduced between 0.2% to 5% by calibrating finite element modeling and stiffness properties.

천리안 해양관측위성 2호기(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-II, GOCI-II)는 한반도 주변을 포함한 동북아 해역과 전구 영역을 관측하는 해색 위성으로 지난 10년간 운용된 GOCI의 임무를 이어받아 2020년부터 현재까지 운용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해색 데이터 산출에 있어 필수 과정인 대기보정 알고리즘을 개선하기 위해 GOCI 영상을 이용한 GOCI-II 근적외 파장(near-infrared, NIR) 밴드의 대리교정을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 NIR 밴드의 대기상층(top-of-atmosphere, TOA) radiance에 대한 교차보정 연구를 수행하였으며, 그 결과로 대리교정 상수를 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 대리교정 상수를 이용하여 보정한 결과 두 센서의 offset이 감소하였으며, ratio는 745 nm, 865 nm에 대해 각 1.02, 1.04에서 1.0, 0.99로 개선되었다. 이는 두 센서의 일관성이 높아진 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 대기 분자 산란 보정 반사도(Rayleigh-corrected reflectance, 𝜌_rc)는 각각 5.62, 9.52% 증가하였다. 이로 인해 745 nm와 865 nm 𝜌_rc의 비율의 차이가 발생했으며, 이는 대기보정 알고리즘 내 에어로졸 광 산란 보정 과정을 통해 모든 밴드의 대기보정 결과에 영향을 줄 수 있다. GOCI, GOCI-II 두 위성의 중복되는 운용 기간이 짧아 2021년 3월의 자료만을 사용하였으나, 향후 타위성과의 지속적인 교차보정 연구를 통해 개선이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 본 연구에서 도출된 NIR 밴드의 대리교정 상수를 적용하여 가시 채널의 대리교정을 수행하고, 해색 산출물의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다.

This paper presents the design of a smart A/D conversion interface used for measuring the load of a truck. Since the load-cell sensor to be used is very sensitive for weight variation, the interface board must have the low-drift and the A/D conversion for accuracy. A new integrator and comparator has been developed to reduce the offset voltage and the drift current of operational amplifiers and has been adapted into the interface board. Also, a software algorithm has been developed to obtain the stable and accrurate A/D conversion. This software includes a RS-485 communication program to control the interface, which gives a capability of backing-up the calibration data and transferring control data. The test and evaluation of the designed interface has been shown as having the better performance compared to the other types of existing weighing systems and sensor instruments.

A simple and inexpensive colorimetric spectrometer for determining total cholesterol has been developed,comprising a diode laser as the light sourcoptical fibers for the light guide and a photodiode as the detector.The stabilty and performance of the new system was investigated by obtaining the calibration curve for stan-dard cholesterol solutions. The total cholesterol in humanserum was also measured by the analyzer and com-pared with the value obtained by a conventional spectrometer. The results showed that the developed spectrometer was useful for the determination of cholesterol levels. The visible diodelaser used in the study exhibited good spectroscopic and operational properties for colorimetric absorption spectrometry and could be a key component for the development of a simple and economical analyzer.
