Most of the researches on fog in South Korea have been done based on the naked-eye observation but the number of observation sites is just 22. Considering the localities of fog and various durations, it is essential to utilize more than 250 visibility meters that measure visibility every minute. In this study, the visibility characteristics of visibility meters were compared with that of the naked-eye observation using one year data, 2016, and radiation fog and advection fog cases were analyzed in detail. The concordance rate of the two data set was 0.96~0.97, but discordance rate was 0.19~0.47. In general, visibility meters observed fog more frequently than naked-eye. The correlation between two data sets is clearly dependent on the visibility and geographic locations (fog/thick fog (< 100 m) of inland: 0.86/0.61; fog/thick fog: 0.65/0.73 of island/coastal site). In both fog cases, the fog events observed by naked-eye were consistently detected by visibility meters, and visibility meters clearly well detected very short fog/thick fogs. Formation and dissipation time of fog for the fog cases were similar but fog duration by visibility meters was shorter because of exclusion of temporary dissipated time. In addition, the visibility meters showed a detailed distribution of fog events that occurred simultaneously over South Korea. It would be useful to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of, in particular, thick fog using visibility meters. However, more works are needed for the filtering criteria for analyzing fog using visibility meters alone.

The classification of fog type and the characteristics of fog based on fog events over South Korea were investigated using a 3-year (2015~2017) visibility meter data. One-minute visibility meter data were used to identify fog with present weather codes and surface observation data. The concept of fog events was adopted for the better definition of fog properties and more objective classification through the detailed investigation of life cycle of fog. Decision tree method was used to classify the fog types and the final fog types were radiation fog, advection fog, precipitation fog, cloud base lowering fog and morning evaporation fog. We enhanced objectivity in classifying the types of fog by adding the satellite and the buoy observations to the conventional usage of AWS and ceilometer data. Radiation fog, the most common type in South Korea, frequently occurs in inland during autumn. A considerable number of advection fogs occur in island area in summer, especially in July. Precipitation fog accounts for more than a quarter of the total fog events and frequently occurs in islands and coastal areas. Cloud base lowering fog, classified using ceilometer, occurs occasionally for all areas but the occurrence rate is relatively high in east and west coastal area. Morning evaporation fog type is rarely observed in inland. The occurrence rate of thick fog with visibility less than 100 meters is amount to 21% of total fog events. Although advection fog develops into thick fog frequently, radiation fog shows the minimum visibility, in some cases.

PURPOSES : Adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, heavy snowfall, and thick fog and so on have highly affect on the change in traffic conditions on the road. In particular, heavy snowfall causes capacity reduction as well as crash occurrence. This study investigated the effects of snowfall on speed on a freeway. METHODS : Vehicle detection systems data were matched with corresponding weather station data by regression analysis. RESULTS : The results show that the travel speed is reduced by 6.7% under little snowfall and by 12.8% under heavy snowfall. Regarding the speed variation, 8.7% and 114.7% increases are observed under little snowfall and heavy snowfall, respectively. It is also found that 1 cm increase in snowfall leads to 0.4% decrease in travel speed. In addition, the travel speed increases by 0.4% when the temperature increases by $1^{\circ}C$. CONCLUSIONS : It is expected that the outcome of this study will be useful in establishing more effective strategies for winter operations and road maintenance in practice.

Quantifying the trace elements in infinitesimal ambient liquid samples (e.g., single raindrop, cloud/fog water, and the soluble fraction extracted from the particles collected for a short time) is an important task for understanding formation processes, heating/cooling rates, and their health hazards. The purpose of this study is to employ an in-air micro PIXE system for quantitative analysis of the trace elements in a thimbleful of reference liquid sample. The bag type liquid sample holder originally designed with $10{\mu}m$ thick $Mylar^{(R)}$ film retained the original shape without any film perforation and apparent peaks of film blank by the end of the analysis. As one of tasks to be solved, the homogeneity of the elemental distribution in liquid reference species was verified by the X-ray line profiles for several references. It was possible to resolve the significant peaks for whole target elements corresponding to the channel number of micro-PIXE spectrum. The calibration curves for the six target elements (Si, S, Cl, Fe, Ni, and Zn) in standard solutions were successfully plotted by concentration (ppm) and ROI of interest net counts/dose (nC).

Purpose: This study was done to explore the meaning and nature of life world for adolescents with epilepsy. The hermeneutic phenomenological method which was developed by van Manen was used. Methods: Participants were four boys and five girls, ages 13 to 18 being seen in a neurology outpatient department. Data were collected from iterative work with in-depth interviews from during the period from February to September, 2010. Contents of the interviews were tape-recorded with participant consent. Results: Essential themes that fit into the context of the 4 existential grounds of body, time, space and other people were: an illness that makes a hurt in one's heart rather than one's body, a change in the body that is not controllable, a future like thick fog, everyday life trapped in illness, a change of relationships, learning how to live with an illness. Conclusion: Findings reveal the life world of the adolescents is affected to varying degrees by the epilepsy. It is important for nurses to identify and address developmental issues and effects of the illness and to support reorientation in a disintegrated life situation. The result of this study will provide nurses with insights into these experiences and should help promote empathetic care.

발광형 교통안전표지는 안개가 잦은 곳, 야간 교통사고가 많이 발생하거나 발생가능성이 높은 곳, 도로의 구조로 인하여 가시거리가 충분히 확보되지 않은 곳 등과 같은 장소에서 제한적으로 사용하도록 규정 되었다. 현재 발광형 교통안전표지는 LED가 사용되고 있으나, 향후 새로운 교통안전표지용으로 유기발광다이오드를 제안하였다. 소자의 구조는 $ITO/2-TNATA(500{\AA})/{\alpha}-NPD(200{\AA})/DPVBi(300{\AA})/BCP(10{\AA})/Alq3(200{\AA})/LiF(10{\AA})/Al:Li(1000{\AA})$로 하였다. 인가전압 10 V에서 전류밀도는 $240.71mA/cm^2$, 휘도는 $10,550cd/m^2$, 발광효율은 3.53cd/A이었다. $N_2$ 가스가 주입된 플라즈마로 전처리한 ITO 표면을 갖는 소자가 플라즈마 전처리되지 않은 ITO 표면을 갖는 소자보다 특성이 향상되었다. EL 스펙트럼의 최대 발광 파장은 456nm이었고 색좌표값은 x=0.1449, y=0.1633으로 NTSC 색좌표 Deep blue 영역(x=014, y=0.08)에 근접한 순수한 청색에 가까운 값을 얻었다.
