The concept of Baekdudaegan(Korean traditional and major mountain system) was conceived toward the close of Silla Kingdom and in the beginning of the Goryeo dynasty. The concept was brought up through the Goryeo dynasty and was completed in the Joseon dynasty. We have to recognize the next two facts to restore the Baekdudaegan concept these days. Firstly, Baekdudaegan is not the highest watershed line but a domain. Secondly, Baekdudaegan is not a set of ridges but a corporate body of a water system and a mountain system. When it comes to fix the management area of Baekdudaegan, it is necessary to make criteria on the basis of traditional ideas and to include natural characteristics considering physical environment. The management area of Baekdudaegan include the third order of stream with the conservation area including the first order of stream. The most important thing in the management strategy is to prevent the damage of configuration of the ground. Baekdudaegan is a symbol of Korea spirit. Therefore, to manage Baekdudaegan wisely is one of ways to lay down the stepping stone of our country's reunification.

Recently, due to the climate change, the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events have been continuously increased in regions of South Korea. As a consequence, safety issues have been raised especially in the hydrologic safety of old dams designed and constructed by the old standards. In general, for improving hydrologic safety of existing dams, two options are considered: 1) raising dam crest; and 2) constructing or expanding an emergency spillway. In this process, the main criteria of alternative selection are overtopping possibility and cost efficiency of each alternative. This approach is easy to implement but it is subject to major limitation for the proper evaluation of alternatives, overlooking downstream flood damages by any controlled flow of water that is intentionally released from dams to eliminate the possibility of overtopping. Therefore, this study suggests a framework for evaluating the dam safety strengthening alternatives in terms of a comprehensive flood control by applying the concept of resilience. The case study shows that the resilience-based evaluation framework which considering downstream flood damages is effective in the selection of dam safety strengthening alternatives.

The Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulses Model (NSRPM) is mainly used to construct hourly rainfall series. This model uses a modest number of parameters to represent the rainfall processes and underlying physical phenomena, such as the arrival of storms or rain cells. In NSRPM, the method of moments has often been used because it is difficult to know the distribution of rainfall intensity. Recently, approximated likelihood function for NSRPM has been introduced. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical model for applying a spatial structure to the NSRPM parameters using the approximated likelihood function. The proposed method is applied to summer hourly precipitation data observed at 59 weather stations (Korea Meteorological Administration) from 1973 to 2011.

In this paper, we try to improve the accuracy of automatic measurement for analysis equipment by detecting efficiently the edge of a waterdrop with transparency. In order to detect the edge of a waterdrop with transparency, we use an edge detecting technique, MADD (Modified Adaptive Directional Derivative), which can identify the ramp edges with various widths as the perfectly sharp edges and respond effectively regardless of enlarging or reducing the image. The proposed edge detecting technique by means of perfect sharpening of ramp edges employs the modified adaptive directional derivatives instead of the usual local differential operators in order to detect the edges of image. The modified adaptive directional derivatives are defined by introducing the perfect sharpening map into the adaptive directional derivatives. Finally we apply the proposed method to contact angle arithmetic and show the effiency and validity of the proposed method.

Water supply safety index plays an important role on assessing the water supply capacity of hydrologic system. Due to the absence of consistent guidance, however, practical problems have been brought up on data period used for dam design and performance evaluation. Therefore, this study employed bivariate drought frequency analysis which is able to consider drought severity and duration simultaneously, in order to evaluate water supply capacity of multi-purpose dams. Drought characteristics were analyzed based on the probabilistic approach, and water supply capacity of five multi-purpose dams in Korea (Soyang River, Chungju, Andong, Daecheong, Seomjin River) were evaluated under the specific drought conditions. As a result, it would be possible to have stable water supply with their own inflow during summer and fall, whereas water shortage would occur even under the 1-year return period drought event during spring and winter due to low rainfall.

The Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of enamel organ-type tissue histopathologically. Ameloblastoma is recognized as a benign tumor, but its clinical behavior is locally invasive. Therefore treatment of choice is surgical resection rather than conservative enucleation. This is a case report about En-bloc excision of granular ameloblastoma arising from dentigerous cyst in the right mandibular angle area of 50-year male patient. He visited local clinic with chief complaint of facial swelling on the right mandibular angle area. Surgical removal was performed by cyst enucleation and En-bloc excision with preservation of inferior border of mandible. After 1 year, iliac bone graft was done and hyperbaric oxygen therapy was applied. We obtained a good result of bony regeneration without any sign of recurrence.

Even though the runoff volume is very sensitive to the antecedent soil moisture condition (AMC), the general rainfall-runoff analysis in Korea has accepted, without careful consideration of its applicability, the AMC classification of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS, 1972). In this study, by following the development procedure of SCS Curve Number (CN), the rainfall-runoff characteristics of the Jangpyung subbasin of the Pyungchang River Basin were analyzed to estimate the CN and evaluate the AMC classification of currently being used. As results, CN(I), CN(II), and CN(III) were estimated to be 72.1, 79.3, and 76.7, respectively. Among them CN(II) was found to be similar to the other reports but the other two were totally different from those of theoretically estimated. However, it is difficult to evaluate the AMC with CN, rather the frequency of each AMC could be a better indicator for its validity. This study developed the histogram of AMC and compared the frequency of each AMC. hs results we found that the criterion for AMC-III should be increased, Hut that for AMC-I decreased.

The flood damage has being increased because of urbanization due to the industrialization and the growth of population. Therefore, the hydrologic properties such as increasing the peak flow and decreasing the concentration time of the peak flow have been changed. Hence, the interest of an urban prevention against flood disasters has been centralized at the present day. The objectives of this study is to develop the suitable models to calculate the runoff characteristics from an urban basin. This study describes the properties of each urban hydrologic model and to determine suitable basin model using the ILLUDAS and SWMM models in the urban runoff models in the Yong-Ahm area at Chungju. The peak flow, concentration time and total runoff value of this area are compared and analyzed with regard to calculated and real values. After obtaining values appropriated from the ILLUDAS and SWMM models using 5 rainfall events in this areas, the peak flows, concentration times and total runoff values are compared with real values. As a result of this study, the Transport block of the SWMM is closely shown to real values.

최근 들어 이상 강우 현상으로 인한 기록적인 집중 강우와 더불어 토지 이용 변화로 인해 탁수의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 강우 유출로 유입한 탁수는 저수지 내 장기간 체류하면서 하류 하천의 수질 및 수생태계 뿐만 아니라 저수지 내부의 영양단계에도 많은 영향을 준다. 특히, 성층화된 저수지의 경우 높은 영양염류 농도를 포함한 탁수는 밀도류 거동 특성을 보이면서 수평 및 수직 혼합 과정을 거치면서 국부적인 부영양화 현상과 조류의 수화 현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서 대형 저수지의 수질관리에 있어 하천 유입 탁수의 밀도류 해석, 저수지의 수온 성층 구조 변화, 부유입자의 동력학적 해석이 중요한 요소로 부각되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 소양호를 연구 대상 지역으로 선정하여 2005년과 2007년 수문 사상을 바탕으로 2차원 횡방향 수치 모형을 구축하였다. 수치모형을 통해 수온 성층 구조의 재현성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 탁수 거동 모형을 구축하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 유입수의 SS(Suspended Solid)를 단일 입경으로 가정한 TM-1 모형, SS의 입경분포에 따라 3개의 그룹(SSi)으로 구분한 TM-2 모형, 3개 그룹을 포함하면서 저수지내 탁수 장기화로 인한 탁수 저감 효과를 1차 반응상수로 매개 변수화(유기물 함량($a_0$) ${\times}$ 분해속도(${\lambda}_a$))하여 수정된 지배방정식을 적용한 TM-3 모형을 사용하였다. 각각의 탁수 거동 모형은 2005년과 2007년 수문 조건에서 수온 성층 구조를 잘 재현하였다. TM-1 모형과 TM-2 모형을 비교해보면, 탁수 중심축의 최고 탁도에 대한 예측 성능은 TM-2 모형이 우수한 결과를 나타냈었다. 하지만, 장기 탁수 모의 시 저수지 수중 잔류 SS가 지속적으로 높게 나타나 중층 탁도를 과대평가하는 경향을 보였다. TM-3 모형이 TM-2 모형에 비해 수심별 탁도 분포에 대한 중심축 탁도가 저평가되는 경향을 보였지만 저수지 내 잔류 탁도에 대한 영향 부분에서는 개선된 결과를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과는 저수지 탁수 밀도류 해석 및 운영 시스템에 활용 될 수 있으며, 선택 취수 설비 등의 수리 구조물의 영향 평가에 활용할 수 있다.

Place names in North Korea has been regarded as an effective instrument of revolution since division of territory(1945) and as typical case which politcal ideology affected the place names. Especially in North Korea, self-reliance ideology(Juche Idea) and idolization of Kim Il Sung influenced the place names. With local administrative district reform in 1952, names of district and village were changed on national scale. National survey of place names were proceeded in 1964~1966 with direct support of Kim, Ilsung. After this survey, North Korea made alteration of place names in terms of idolization of Kim Il Sung family as well as socialist revolution. Encyclopedia of place names were widely published. Almost linguist were forced to produce writing and papers for the praise of the legitimacy of new place names. But it should be attended that research trend are slowly changed since 2000s. Research for idolization of Kim Il Sung has become a little importance.
