Artificial neural network (ANN) simulation is used to predict the dynamic change of permeate flux during wheat starch industry wastewater microfiltration with and without static turbulence promoter. The experimental program spans range of a sedimentation times from 2 to 4 h, for feed flow rates 50 to 150 L/h, at transmembrane pressures covering the range of $1{\times}10^5$ to $3{\times}10^5Pa$. ANN predictions of the wastewater microfiltration are compared with experimental results obtained using two different set of microfiltration experiments, with and without static turbulence promoter. The effects of the training algorithm, neural network architectures on the ANN performance are discussed. For the most of the cases considered, the ANN proved to be an adequate interpolation tool, where an excellent prediction was obtained using automated Bayesian regularization as training algorithm. The optimal ANN architecture was determined as 4-10-1 with hyperbolic tangent sigmoid transfer function transfer function for hidden and output layers. The error distributions of data revealed that experimental results are in very good agreement with computed ones with only 2% data points had absolute relative error greater than 20% for the microfiltration without static turbulence promoter whereas for the microfiltration with static turbulence promoter it was 1%. The contribution of filtration time variable to flux values provided by ANNs was determined in an important level at the range of 52-66% due to increased membrane fouling by the time. In the case of microfiltration with static turbulence promoter, relative importance of transmembrane pressure and feed flow rate increased for about 30%.

The geographical phenomena in space are well observed in the specific scale. This scale is called the operational scale. For an analysis of the optimum scale, it is needed to measure and represent the characteristics of attribute information extracted from the satellite imagery. The development of remote sensing technique makes various images with different resolution available. Researchers can select the image with optimum resolution for their analysis among various resolutions. For an effective analysis of the scale characteristics of satellite image, we investigated the characteristics of attribute information extracted from satellite image with different resolution. The two stage-procedure for exploring the optimum resolution proposed in this study was tested by applying to the satellite imagery covering Sunchon bay. This procedure can be an effective tool utilizing the scale characteristics of attribute information extracted from satellite imagery.

Most of previous landform classification methods using DEM compares the values between the center of the cell and the surrounding cells, which in turn, greatly depends on analysis scale. To overcome the problem of scale-dependency, a new classification scheme is developed, which is called "Geomorphons". Unlike the traditional approaches using DEM, Geomorphons is the way which compares the level with other cells against the criteria cell. As a pilot study, we classify the landforms of Pyeongchang-Gun in Korea. Then, we compare the result with the other methods such as Topographic Position Index. Through the systematic analysis, we obtain the following findings. First, Geomorphons can reduce the time for the classification of landforms because of using unsupervised classification. Second, Geomorphons is little dependent on change in the scale, which can provide a pilot tool for reconnaissance study for covering large area.

The Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) models have been developed for assessing agricultural management efforts and their effects on soil and water at the field scale as well as more complex multi-subarea landscapes, whole farms, and watersheds. National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wanju, Korea, has modified a key component of APEX application, named APEX-Paddy for simulating water quality with considering appropriate paddy management practices, such as puddling and flood irrigation management. Calibration and validation are an anticipated step before any model application. Simple techniques are essential to assess whether or not a parameter should be adjusted for calibration. However, very few study has been done to evaluate the ability of APEX-Paddy to simulate the impact of multiple management scenarios on nutrients loss. In this study, the observation data from experimental fields at Iksan in South Kora was used in calibration and evaluation process during 2013-2015. The APEX auto- calibration tool (APEX-CUTE) was used for model calibration and sensitivity analysis. Four quantitative statistics, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$),Nash-Sutcliffe(NSE),percentbias(PBIAS)androotmeansquareerror(RMSE)were used in model evaluation. In this study, the hydrological process of the modified model, APEX-Paddy, is being calibrated and tested in predicting runoff discharge rate and nutrient yield. Field-scale calibration and validation processes are described with an emphasis on essential calibration parameters and direction regarding logical sequences of calibration steps. This study helps to understand the calibration and validation way is further provided for applications of APEX-Paddy at the field scales.

Drought is a recurrent natural hazard in Bangladesh. It has significant impacts on agriculture, environment, and society. Well-timed information on the onset, extent, intensity, duration, and impacts of drought can mitigate the potential drought-related losses. Thus, drought characteristics need to be explained in terms of frequency, severity, and duration. This paper aims to characterize the spatial and temporal pattern of meteorological drought using EDI and illustrated drought severity over Bangladesh. Twenty-seven (27) station-based daily rainfall data for the study period of 1981-2015 were used to calculate the EDI values over Bangladesh. The evaluation of EDI is conducted for 4 sub-regions over the country to confirm the historical drought record-developed at the regional scale. The finding shows that on average, the frequency of severe to extreme drought is approximately 0.7 events per year. As a result of the regional analysis, most of the recorded historical drought events were successfully detected during the study period. Additionally, the seasonal analysis showed that the extreme droughts were frequently hit in northwestern, middle portion of the eastern and small portion of central parts of Bangladesh during the Kharif(wet) and Rabi(dry) seasons. The severe drought was affected recurrently in the central and northern regions of the country during all cropping seasons. The study also points out that the northern, south-western and central regions in Bangladesh are comparatively vulnerable to both extreme and severe drought event. The study showed that EDI would be a useful tool to identify the drought-prone area and time and potentially applicable to the climate change-induced drought evolution monitoring at regional to the national level in Bangladesh. The outcome of the present study can be used in taking anticipatory strategies to mitigate the drought damages on agricultural production as well as human sufferings in drought-prone areas of Bangladesh.

Objectives : Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang(黃連解毒湯) is a representative herbal formula with "clear heat(淸熱)" effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang-based intranasal herbal ointment Biyeom-go based on the cold and heat pattern identification questionnaire(CHPIQ). Methods : We performed a subgroup analysis of the previously published prospective observational study. A total of 58 patients with rhinitis were administered Biyeom-go for 4 weeks, and its effects on the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS), Mini Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(Mini-RQLQ) score, and nasal endoscopy index score were analyzed based on CHPIQ. Results : Among the 58 patients, the heat and non-heat patterns were shown by 39 and 19 patients, respectively, while the cold and non-cold patterns were shown by 46 and 12 patients, respectively. The change in TNSS from baseline negatively correlated with the heat pattern score(p=0.011). Improvement in TNSS was greater in the heat pattern group than in the non-heat pattern group, with a borderline significant difference(p=0.07). Mini-RQLQ and nasal endoscopy index scores tended to be lower in the heat pattern group than in the non-heat pattern group, but without a statistically significant difference. Conclusion : The findings indicate that CHPIQ is a useful tool for the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with rhinitis. This study provides fundamental evidence of the close association between the cold-heat pattern in patients with rhinitis and the treatment effects of Biyeom-go.

In developing the avionics system, a system integration laboratory (SIL) is established to verify the function and interworking of individual components. In case of individual verification of SIL's components and system integration, a SIL model that simulates the function and interworking of each equipment is developed and used. A SIL model shall be pre-verified against all data defined in the interface control document (ICD) before interworking with the actual equipment and reverified even when the ICD changes or functions change. However, if the verification of the SIL model is performed manually, the verification of the individual SIL model takes considerable time. For this reason, selective regression tests are often performed to determine a impact of SIL models on ICD changes and some functional changes. In this paper, we designed SIL model verification automation method to perform regession test by reducing verification time of SIL model and verify the usefulness of verification automation design by developing SIL model verification automation tool.

2017년 이상기후 보고서에 따르면, 지난해 장마기간(6월 24일~7월 29일) 동안 전국 평균 강수량은 291.7mm로 평년(356.1mm)의 81%에 그쳤고, 7월 전국 평균기온은 $26.4^{\circ}C$로 평년($24.5^{\circ}C$) 보다 $1.9^{\circ}C$ 높았으며, 폭염일수는 평년대비 1.5배 많았음을 보고했다. 이러한 극심한 기후변화는 유역환경에 영향을 미쳐 미래 수자원 계획과 관리에 어려움을 가중시킬 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 금강유역($9,865km^2$)을 대상으로 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool)모형과 RCP(Representative Concentration Pathway) 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 극한 기후변화 사상에 따른 수문 수질 거동을 평가하고자 하였다. 유역의 물수지 분석을 위해 금강 유역을 표준단위유역으로 구분 하였고, 기상자료와 다목적댐 2개(대청댐, 용담댐)과 다기능 보 3개(공주보, 백제보, 세종보)의 운영 자료와 국가 수자원관리 종합 정보 시스템(WAMIS)에서 관측 및 관리하고 있는 수문, 기상 자료를 수집하였다. SWAT 모형의 신뢰성 있는 수문 및 수질 보정을 위해 금강 소유역 내 위치하는 다목적 댐 2개 및 다기능 보 3개의 실측 방류랑을 이용하여 댐 운영모의를 하였으며, 댐 운영 자료와 수질 자료를 이용하여 모형의 검정 및 보정(2000~2015)을 실시하였다. 미래 극한 기후변화 사상을 모의하기 위해 기후변화 시나리오는 APCC의 26개 CMIP5 GCM 자료 중 RCP 8.5 시나리오를 활용했으며, 극한 기후 시나리오 선정을 위해 STARDEX에서 제시한 강우관련 극한지수를 이용했다. 선정된 홍수 및 가뭄 시나리오에 대해 Historical기간(1976~2005)과 미래기간(2006~2099)을 설정하여 미래 극한 기후변화 사상에 따른 금강유역의 수문 및 수질의 거동을 평가하였다.

기후변화에 따른 청미천 유역의 가뭄 특성을 평가한 연구로 가뭄의 발생은 여러 요소가 연속적인 상관관계를 이루고 있으며, 가뭄지수 산정에 내재되어 있는 복잡성 및 불확실성으로 인해 다양한 가뭄지수를 적용하였다. 그 중 기상학적 가뭄지수는 강수량을 이용하여 산정하는 SPI(Standardiz d Precipitation Index)와 강수량과 증발산량을 바탕으로 산정하는 SPEI(Standardiz d Precipitation Evaportranspiration Index), 유효토양수분량을 바탕으로 산정하는 농업학적 가뭄지수인 PDSI(Palmer Drought Severity Index), 유출량을 이용하여 산정하는 수문학적 가뭄지수인 SDI(Streamflow Drought Index)의 지속기간 3개월, 6개월, 9개월에 따른 과거(1985년부터 2015년) 및 미래(2016년부터 2099년)의 가뭄특성을 파악하였다. 미래의 경우 기후변화 시나리오인 RCP(Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5와 8.5를 이용하였으며, 농업학적 및 수문학적 가뭄지수는 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형 모의를 통해 산출된 결과를 토대로 산정하였다. 과거 기간의 가뭄지수 산정 결과, 2015년과 2014년이 극한 및 평균 가뭄의 평균에서 가장 극심한 가뭄을 나타냈으며, PDSI를 제외한 각 가뭄지수 간에는 높은 상관정도를 보였다. 과거를 포함한 미래 가뭄의 경우 현재(2011년부터 2020년까지), 가까운 미래(2021년부터 2040년까지), 중간 미래(2041년부터 2070년까지), 먼 미래(2071년부터 2099년까지)로 나누어 가뭄을 평가하였다. 평가 결과 현재의 경우 과거 기간의 가뭄과는 달리 2018년이 가뭄에 취약했으며, 극한 및 평균 가뭄의 평균에서 두 기후변화 시나리오는 가까운 미래와 중간미래가 취약함을 나타냈다. 상관계수의 경우 과거 결과와 마찬가지로 PDSI를 제외한 각 가뭄지수 간에 높은 상관정도를 나타냈다. 또한 빈도해석 결과 RCP 4.5에서 더 큰 변동성을 보였다. 현저히 적은 강수 및 기온 상승으로 인한 증발산량의 증가 등으로 인해 최근 들어 가뭄의 정도가 심해졌으며, 미래에는 더욱 더 심해질 전망으로 보여진다. 이를 평가하기 위해서는 본 결과에서 보듯이 각 각의 가뭄지수는 극한 가뭄의 발생 시기 및 강도에서 각기 다른 차이를 확인할 수 있기 때문에 가뭄 평가 시 다양한 형태의 가뭄지수 활용이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
