We introduce OBS and sonobuoy systems which are the typical wide-angle reflection/refraction seismic recorders made by KORDI for the investigation of crustal structure and the sediment/basement structure in the coastal area. These recording devices are examined for their usage through the test survey. The normal operation of these devices were proved and good recordings were obatined. The head waves are recognized in the sonobuoy records, which shows the possibility of velocity structure survey by the refraction and/or tomography method.

The precise leveling is one of the important means of investigating fluctuation of earth's crust and foreknowing earthquake. This paper aims to study refraction errors developed in the inclined leveling route. Based on Kukkamaki's theory and data of weather, the author devised an experiment to test how Kukkimaki's corrections improved the discrepancy between fore and back sight leveling in actual slope. Additionally, through the repeated observation between fore and back sight leveling at one fixed station in the slope(2/100-4/100) and the experimental tests of continuous inclined leveling route, the author studied the effects and charcteristics of refraction. Especially, in inclined leveling(2/100-4/100), the distance of line of sight is ideally to be 25-30 m to minimize refraction errors. From the results of experimental tests of continuous inclined leveling route, the values of calculation by Kukkimaki's corrections were found to be nearly in accord with the values of observation.

To effectively identify near-surface faults with vertical slips from seismic refraction data, the GRM interpretation technique is tested and investigated in terms of various parameters through computer modeling. A characteristic change in shape of the velocity-analysis function near faults is noticed, and a new strategy of `Slope Variation Indicator (SVI)' is developed and tested in this study. The SVI is defined as a first horizontal derivative of the difference of velocity analysis functions for a large XY value and a small one, respectively. As the dip of refractor decreases and as the difference in XY value increases, the peak value of SVI increases and its duration decreases. Consequently, the SVI indicates accurately the location of buried fault in the test models. The SVI is believed to be an efficient tool in seismic refraction method to investigate location and distribution of shallowly buried faults.

Super-refraction of radar beams tends to occur primarily under a particular vertical structure of temperature and water vapor pressure profiles. A quality control process for the removal of anomalous propagation (AP) ehcoes are required because APs are easily misidentified as precipitation echoes. For this purpose, we collected X-band polarimetric radar parameters (differential reflectivity, cross-correlation coefficient, and differential phase) only including non-precipitation echoes (super-refraction and clear-sky ground echoes) and precipitation echoes, and compared the echo types regarding the relationships among radar reflectivities, polarimetric parameters, and the membership functions. We developed a removal algorithm for the non-precipitation echoes using the texture approach for the polarimetric parameters. The presented algorithm is qualitatively validated using the S-band Jindo radar in Jeollanam-do. Our algorithm shows the successful identification and removal of AP echoes.

Rapid variations in the geometry (i.e., thickness) of the refractor and low velocities affect greatly the imaging of the reflectors of land seismic data. Conventional solutions to obtain the weathering models utilizes first break picking method, which requires time consuming steps and causes the human error in picking the first arrivals. A new interferometric approach (interferometric refraction statics, IRS) which utilizes the first arrival signal (S/N enhanced by refraction convolution stack) instead of first break picking, is tested in this study to the synthetic data from the velocity structure provided by surface geophysics (refraction, MASW) and borehole geophysics (tomography, SPS logging) for the Cheongju granitic bodies. The results of IRS approach are found to be better than the ones from conventional first break picking in terms of continuities and horizontal resolution of the reflectors. The unresolved long-wavelength statics in brute stack are much removed by IRS weathering correction and the overlying refractors (the base of shallow weathering zone) are incidentally delineated in the refraction convolution stack.

The old age may experienced the visual acuity decrease according to refraction abnormality and they have a inconvenient real life style on viewing condition. So that, This study can provide the accurate information on the treatment of visual acuity of a male old ages by test of eye refraction state. The test was performed the visual acuity test by the object and subject methods.and the subjects was the Korean male over 55 old age. The eye types were 0.8 % positive for emmetropia, 15.2 % for myopia, and 84 % for hyperopia, respectively. The abnormal refraction eyes were 1.3 % positive for simple myopic astigmatism, 13.9 % for compound myopic astigmatism. 3.4 % for simple hyperopia and 3.1 % for simple hyperopic astigmatism, 77.5 % for mixed astigmatism, respectively. The asix of astigmatisms were 62% positive for against-the-rule astigmatism, 6% for with-the rule astigmatism, and 32 % for oblique astigmatism, respectively. On the total myopic spherical power, the $-0.50{\leq}$spheric equivalent <-2.00 diopter was 84.3%, the $-2.00{\leq}$spherical equivalent <-6.00.diopter was 15.7%. On the total hyperopic spherical power, the $+0.50{\leq}$spheric equivalent <+2.00 diopter was 74.2%, the $+2.00{\leq}$spherical equivalent <+6.00 diopter was 24.8%, and anything over the +6.00 diopter was 1%. On the astigmatic power, the $0.5{\leq}$cylinder <1.00 diopter was 54.1%, the $1.00{\leq}$cylinder <2.00 diopter was 32.4%, and anything over the 2.00 cylinder diopter was 13.5%.

The purpose of this study is to provide improvements and standards of trial lens, in a situation that there is a lack of standards of trial lens set that have been used for self-conscious refraction test after helm refraction test at about 5,000 opticians, ophthalmologic clinics and hospitals, and contact-lens shops, that there is a lot of discrepancies between refraction specified and the actual power, and that there is no regulation of optical tolerance error. For the study, opticians who have used Trial lens set were asked to participate in a questionnaire survey through continuing education, and divided into those who have used domestic lens and those who have used imported lens, 5 opticians each for less than 5 years, 5 to 10 years, more than 10 years. The measurement of both refraction specified and the actual diopter was compared to Japan Industrial Standards(JIS T4402). As a result of comparative analysis, more than 80% of respondents have had reliability on the refraction of trial lens they had used, indicating that they have never measured the refraction specified and the actual diopter after buying them. Besides, Korean Industrial Standards(KS P4402) has been imperfect in diopter range since it was legislated in 1979. More than 95% of respondents have been unsatisfied with optometry. Also, it has indicated that refraction error is more frequent in long-term-used trial lens. The conclusion is that it is necessary to standardize trial lens set and that it is required to add lens to lens set provided under KS P4402. Moreover, it is necessary to have supervisory agency for a standardization of trial lens. I hope that both domestic lens and imported lens, as in German and Japan, will be tested to find whether they meet optical tolerance error and standard trial lens will be distributed. Good optic inspection is required for the improvement and management of eye health and optical function, and the same standard trial lens set should be used. whoever is tested. Also, I hope that trial lens set will be specified within standards and tolerance error.

Landslides is mainly induced by a heavy rainfall, earthquake ground motion, and some other factors like soil mechanics, morphological-geological factors etc. Since the starting point of the failure seemed to be originated at a construction site in the study, it is meaningful to find out the relationship between the landslide and the construction. For this study, the slope failure factor was examined carefully to see that the original natural slope had vulnerability and that the complex ground had unstability changed by construction. A field survey was conducted on the original ground surface and filled-up ground. A laboratory test was also conducted to determine the geomechanical properties of soil samples. 2D and 3D limit equilibrium analysis with changing groundwater level were conducted at the failure depth using a seismic refraction survey. The result shows that the factor of safety is similar stability under all condition, but unstable under saturated condition.

For this study, Clinical evaluation of the diverse Autorefractors was performed to examine validity and repeatability compared with subjective refraction. Measurements of refractive error were performed on 212 eyes of 106 subjects subjectivly noncycloplegic. Intersession repeatability of the Autorefractors were also assessed on all 106 subjects together with intersession repeatability on 7 to 14 days intervals. Spherical powers of subjective refraction and autorefractions by Autorefractors were analyzed by paired T-test.
