The East Sea, one of the regions where the most rapid warming is occurring, is known to have important implications for the response of the ocean to future climate changes because it not only reacts sensitively to climate change but also has a much shorter turnover time (hundreds of years) than the ocean (thousands of years). However, the processes underlying changes in seawater characteristics at the sea's deep and abyssal layers, and meridional overturning circulation have recently been examined only after international cooperative observation programs for the entire sea allowed in-situ data in a necessary resolution and accuracy along with recent improvement in numerical modeling. In this review, previous studies on the physical characteristics of seawater at deeper parts of the East Sea, and meridional overturning circulation are summarized to identify any remaining issues. The seawater below a depth of several hundreds of meters in the East Sea has been identified as the Japan Sea Proper Water (East Sea Proper Water) due to its homogeneous physical properties of a water temperature below 1℃ and practical salinity values ranging from 34.0 to 34.1. However, vertically high-resolution salinity and dissolved oxygen observations since the 1990s enabled us to separate the water into at least three different water masses (central water, CW; deep water, DW; bottom water, BW). Recent studies have shown that the physical characteristics and boundaries between the three water masses are not constant over time, but have significantly varied over the last few decades in association with time-varying water formation processes, such as convection processes (deep slope convection and open-ocean deep convection) that are linked to the re-circulation of the Tsushima Warm Current, ocean-atmosphere heat and freshwater exchanges, and sea-ice formation in the northern part of the East Sea. The CW, DW, and BW were found to be transported horizontally from the Japan Basin to the Ulleung Basin, from the Ulleung Basin to the Yamato Basin, and from the Yamato Basin to the Japan Basin, respectively, rotating counterclockwise with a shallow depth on the right of its path (consistent with the bottom topographic control of fluid in a rotating Earth). This horizontal deep circulation is a part of the sea's meridional overturning circulation that has undergone changes in the path and intensity. Yet, the linkages between upper and deeper circulation and between the horizontal and meridional overturning circulation are not well understood. Through this review, the remaining issues to be addressed in the future were identified. These issues included a connection between the changing properties of CW, DW, and BW, and their horizontal and overturning circulations; the linkage of deep and abyssal circulations to the upper circulation, including upper water transport from and into the Western Pacific Ocean; and processes underlying the temporal variability in the path and intensity of CW, DW, and BW.

Applying the numerical scheme developed by Semtner (1974), we investigate the circulation system in the Japan Sea in response to the air-sea interaction and the wind. In spite of blocking straits, resulting surface circulation pattern is similar to the schematic surface current chart introduced by Uda(1934) and Naganuma (1972); the northward flow along the Korean coast and the anticlockwise gyre in the northeastern part of the Japan Sea. Also the southward current flows along the Korean coast at depth of 100-200 m as similar to the North Korean Cold Current suggested by Kim and Kim (1983). And the sinking phenomenon of relatively saline water in the northeastern part of the Japan Sea is similar to the formation of the Japan Sea Proper Water.

It has been believed that the circulation in the Japan Sea involves separation of current from the Korean coast and formation of a cold cyclonic gyre in the north. To explain this, a simple quasi-geostrophic linear model is considered. The model is basically of an inflow-outflow system. The local forcings, wind and air-sea heat exchange together with damping (both mechanical and thermal), are imposed upon. The results show that only the buoyancy damping due to perturbations from local thermal adjustment can cause the separation and the gyre. Various types of circulation patterns are possible depending on the intensity of the thermal forcing.

The east Sea circulation is numerically modeled with refined grid resolution elaborated open boundary condition, and by directly imposing the measured surface temperature and salinity typical the east Korean Warm current are clearer than those in previous works. among others, The Ulleung warm Water and the Intermediate Water of minimum salinity are nicely reproduced. The latter is formed in the northern/northwestern coastal region in winter and is advocated southward by strong under-current. the former is associated with a locally generated anti-cyclonic gyres. The model indicates strong seasonal variation of Nearshore Current along the Japanese coast from wintertime barotropic to summertime baroclinic structures. the associated strong reversed under-cur-rent in summer is not well understood. Global circulation pattern is characterized by two regions of cyclonic and anti-cyclonic gyres in the north and south, respectively. The presence of these gyres indicates importance of local dynamics in East Sea circulation. This model, however, does not completely resolve the problem of overshooting of the East Korean Warm current.

Potential vorticity is useful to illustrate mechanism and distribution pattern of current circulation the upper layer in the East Sea is divided into three part following like surface layer, Tsushima Warm Current(TWC) layer. Potential vorticity shows well the meandering of the TWC and polar front and circulation cell ill the northern part of polar front.

Wind is one of the main forcing contributing the circulation of the East Sea. By using 1.5-layer and 2.5-layer reduced gravity models, circulation in the East Sea is simulated. The bifurcation of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC), the separation of East Korea Warm Current (EKWC) from the east coast of Korea, the Nearshore Branch of TWC, and the cyclonic gyres stretched from the East Korea Bay to the northern half of the East Sea are compared well with the schematic map. The features of the upper and the lower layer are very similar except for those of the central region. The Polar Front is the separating line of two different features. The main feature of northern part of the East Sea, north of the Polar Front is cyclonic gyres, which are composed of three cyclonic gyres in most seasons. North Korean Cold Current (NKCC) and Liman Cold Current (LCC) are the nearshore part of these cyclonic gyres. In the south of the Polar Front the current systems of both layers are anticyclonic in most seasons, except that those of the upper layer in winter and spring are not anticyclonic. Along the coast of Korea and Russia, the velocity structure is barotropic, while that of the central region is baroclinic. The effects due to the seasonal variations of wind stress and local Ekman suction/pumping are studied by imposing the domain with modified wind stress. which is spatial mean with temporal variations and temporal mean with spatial variations. It is found that the local Ekman suction/pumping due to wind stress curl is important to the formation of the cyclonic gyres in the western and the northwestern region of the East Sea.

본 연구에서는 심장의 세포 변화에서부터 혈류 순환의 시스템 변화까지 일련의 과정을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있는 통합모델을 개발하였다. 본 통합 모델을 이용하여 대동맥의 탄성도 변화 따른 Pulse Wave Velocity를 추정하였으며 심근의 수축 Mechanics의 변화를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 심장은 단순한 구 형상으로 모델링 되었다. 특히 동맥순환의 특성인 Wave propagation 과 Wave deflection의 현상을 모델링하기 위해 기존 모델에서 사용된 동맥계 순환 모델을 수정하였다. 즉 기존의 동맥 모델을 1차원의 운동방정식과 연속방정식을 기반으로 하는 Distributed arterial model로 대체하였다. Distributed arterial model은 혈액의 점성에 의한 에너지 손실, 혈관의 점탄성 효과 그리고 분지 되는 혈관에서의 에너지 손실을 포함하는 정교한 동맥 순환 모델이다. 정교한 동맥계 순환 모델의 동맥 탄성도 값을 조절함으로써 탄성도 변화에 대한 PWV를 계산 할 수 있었다. 이러한 수치적 방법을 사용하여 노화에 따른 동맥벽 탄성도의 저하가 심근세포의 Cross-bridge 동역학에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션 하였다.

본 논문에서는 순환 신경망을 이용하여 동영상에서의 배경과 전경을 구분하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 순환 신경망은 일련의 순차적인 입력에 대해서 내부의 루프(loop)를 통해 이전 입력에 의한 정보를 지속할 수 있도록 구성되는 신경망을 말한다. 순환 신경망의 여러 구조들 가운데, 우리는 장기적인 관계에도 반응할 수 있도록 장단기 기억 신경망(Long short-term memory networks, LSTM)을 사용했다. 그리고 동영상에서의 시간적인 연결 뿐 아니라 공간적인 연관성도 배경과 전경을 판단하는 것에 영향을 미치기 때문에, 공간적 순환 신경망을 적용하여 내부 신경망(hidden layer)들의 정보가 공간적으로 전달될 수 있도록 신경망을 구성하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기본적인 배경차분 동영상에 대해 기존 알고리즘들과 비교할만한 결과를 보인다.

본 연구에서는 동해화력 순환유동층 보일러와 유사한 3개의 사이클론을 갖는 직사각형 구조의 순환유동층 반응기를 이용하여 동해화력 운전조건 -연소로 공기 속도, 일-이차 공기비, 전체 고체량(inventory), 입도 및 입도분포 등- 에 따른 축방향 고체 체류량 및 순환량 등의 수력학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 상승관에서의 공기유속(U$_{0}$)이 증가함에 따라, 또는 PA/[PA+SA]비가 증가함에 따라, 그리고 전체 고체량(inventory)이 증가함에 따라 고채 채류량 및 순환량은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 넓은 입도 분포를 갖는 석탄 회재의 경우는 균일한 입도 분포의 입자들에 비해 입자 비산량 및 고체 순환량이 작을 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 층내에서의 고체 체루량 분포를 감소지수 a 및 K를 사용하여 나타낼 수 있었으며, a 및 K와 유속 및 입자간의 상관 특성치를 도출하여 유동 및 순환특성을 고찰하였다. 상기의 상관수는 균일한 입도의 모래에 비해 석탄회재가 비교적 큰 값을 나타내었으며, 상관수가 클수록 희박상 영역에서의 비산 및 고체 순환량이 작은 것으로 나타났다.다.
