This study explored the possibility of building a statistical model predicting difficulty of mathematics test items through the analysis of nation-wide scholastic ability test results for the past 5 years. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted in predicting difficulty of mathematics test items. We adopted three major areas for independent variables: the content area, the behavior area, and the test item format area, each of which was categorized into more detailed sub-areas. For the dependent variable, the proportion of correct answer was used to represent the item difficulty. Statistically significant independent variables were included in the regression model based on the stepwise selection method. Several important factors affecting difficulty of mathematics test items for each area were identified. R-squares for the final regression model were fairly high, implying that the regression equation can be used to predict difficulty of test items at an acceptable level. Lastly, the regression model was cross-validated using independently collected data. We believe that this study will provide basic but very critical information for predicting the proportion of correct answer by showing the factors that should be considered for developing mathematics test items for the college entrance examination or high school classroom test.

하천의 수리 및 하도의 특성으로 대표되는 물리적 환경(하도 및 수리 특성)은 생태계 기반으로서 수질특성과 더불어 생물에 미치는 영향이 아주 크다. 따라서 하천의 물리적 환경을 진단하고 평가하는 경우에는 상 중 하류의 위치에 따른 하도의 지형학적 특성과 하천의 규모 및 유량의 크기 등에 따라 하천의 유형을 분류하고 그 유형별 특성에 따라 하천환경의 평가시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다. 1980년 후반 이후에는 세계 각국에서 환경보전, 하천복원 및 하천관리 등 종합적인 하천공학적 관점에서 적용할 수 있는 하천분류체계가 제시되었으며 1990년대 이후 선진국들은 정성적 또는 정량적인 하천의 서식환경 평가시스템을 구축하여 적용하고 있으며 대표적으로 정량적 평가시스템을 운영하는 국가는 독일과 미국이고, 정성적 평가시스템을 운영하는 국가는 영국이며, 호주는 영국과 미국의 평가시스템을 통합한 시스템을 운영하고 있다. 한편, 국내에서는 하천환경에서 생태계 기반인 하천의 물리적 특성(구조)에 대한 평가 및 진단 절차도 없이 시행되고 있는 사례가 대부분이다. 또한 지금까지는 하천의 자연도 평가 연구 등에서 선진국들의 하천환경평가시스템을 여과 없이 적용함으로써 국내의 하천특성을 제대로 반영하지 못하는 문제점을 노출하고 있다. 따라서 국내 하천의 물리환경 평가시스템에서는 생물 서식의 기반이 되는 하천의 하도지형 특성 및 수리특성을 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 하천평가에 앞서 하천유형 분류에 따른 하도특성은 하상경사에 따라서 급경사 하천(high-gradient stream), 중경사 하천(mid-gradient stream), 완경사 하천(low-gradient stream)으로 구분하였으며 하천의 물리환경 평가시스템의 평가영역 및 평가지표는 정량적 평가시스템을 운영하는 독일(LAWA, 2004)과 미국(EPA, 2004)의 연구결과를 참고하여 공통지표를 추출하고, 우리나라의 하천이용 및 정비현황을 반영하여 하천유형을 3가지로 분류하고 각 하천유형에 대하여 3개 영역 10개 평가지표를 5개 등급으로 구분하여 평가시스템을 구축하였다. 하천에 대한 하천 지형특성과 현황을 조사할 항목은 수리 및 하도영역의 6개 항목, 하안영역의 2개 항목, 하천교란 영역 2개 항목으로 3개 영역으로 구분해서 평가하고 그 점수에 따라 1등급은 매우좋음(1등급)상태의 $20>{\sim}18{\geq}$점, 좋음(2등급)상태의 $18>{\sim}14{\geq}$점, 보통(3등급)상태의 $14>{\sim}8{\geq}$점, 나쁨(4등급)상태의 $8>{\sim}14{\geq}$점, 매우나쁨(5등급)상태의 4>점으로 등급을 산정하였다. 매우 좋음의 1등급은 참조하천이며 좋음~매우나쁨의 2등급~5등급은 비교하천으로 구분하였으며 보통보다 높은 경우는 자연하천, 낮은 경우는 인공하천으로 나누어 서식처 기반에 따라 평가체계를 구축하였다. 한국형 하천환경 물리평가 체계가 확실히 구축되기 위해서는 각자의 평가 등급이 적절하게 평가 되는지를 검증해야 하기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 하천유형별 자연하천과 인공하천을 비교 분석하였고 평가 영역별 평가지표를 기준으로 상관분석을 통한 상관성을 분석하고 더 나아가 가중치의 적절성 및 각각의 등급에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한다.

In this paper, in-situ technique for measuring hydraulic conductivity of Excavation Disturbed Zone (EDZ) in a direct way and its application to an Underground Research Laboratory (URL) site were introduced. It was understood that both the EDZ oriented test equipment as a hardware and analysis/evaluation technique as a software should be integrated for upgrading a quality of estimated EDZ hydraulic conductivity. The well-estimated EDZ hydraulic conductivity is expected to enhance a reliability of stability evaluation for caverns under groundwater table and design of a waterproof or drainage system as well as a grout system.

Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Company(KHNP) conducted site investigations for a low and intermediate-level nuclear waste repository in the Gyeong Ju site. The site characterization work constitutes a description of the site, its regional setting and the current state of the geosphere and biosphere. The main objectives of hydogeological investigation aimed to understand the hydrogeological setting and conditions of the site, and to provide the input parameters for safety evaluation. The hydogeological characterization of the site was performed from the results of surface based investigations, i.e geological mapping and analysis, drilling works and hydraulic testing, and geophysical survey and interpretation. The hydro-structural model based on the hydrogeological characterization consists of one-Hydraulic Soil Domain, three-Hydraulic Rock Domains and five-Hydraulic Conductor Domains. The hydrogeological framework and the hydraulic values provided for each hydraulic unit over a relevant scale were used as the baseline for the conceptualization and interpretation of flow modeling. The current hydrogeological characteristics based on the surface based investigation include some uncertainties resulted from the basic assumption of investigation methods and field data. Therefore, the reassessment of hydrostructure model and hydraulic properties based on the field data obtained during the construction is necessitated for a final hydrogeological characterization.

MODFLOW, 3-D finite difference code, is widely used to model groundwater flow and has been used to assess the effect of excavations on the groundwater system due to construction of subways and mountain tunnels. The results of numerical analysis depend on boundary conditions, initial conditions, conceptual models and hydrogeological properties. Therefore, its accuracy can only be enhanced using more realistic and field oriented input parameters. In this study, SA(simulated annealing) was used to integrate hydraulic conductivities from a few of injection tests with geophysical reference images. The realizations of hydraulic conductivity random field are obtained and then groundwater flows in each geostatistically equivalent media are analyzed with a numerical simulation. This approach can give probabilistic results of groundwater flow modeling considering the uncertainty of hydrogeological medium. In other words, this approach makes it possible to quantify the propagation of uncertainty of hydraulic conductivities into groundwater flow.

The era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is increasingly demanding mathematical competencies for virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and the like. In this context, this study intended to identify the basic mathematical competency levels of university freshman students in radiology department and to provide basic data thereon. For this, the diagnostic assessment of basic learning competencies for the domain of mathematics was conducted from June 17, 2019 to June 28, 2019 among 78 freshman students of radiology department at S university and D university. As a result, the university students' overall basic mathematical competency levels were diagnosed to be excellent. However, their levels in the sectors of the geometry and vector and the probability and statistics were diagnosed to be moderate, with the mean scores of 2.61 points and 2.64 points, respectively, which were found to be lower than those of the other sections. As for basic mathematical competency levels according to genders, the levels of male students and female students were diagnosed to be excellent, with the mean scores of 17.48 points and 16.29 points, respectively, showing no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). Given the small number of subjects and regional restriction, there might be some limitations in the generalization of the findings of the present study to all university freshman students and all departments. The above results suggest that it is necessary to implement various programs such as student level-based special lectures for enhancing basic mathematical competencies relating to major in order to improve the basic mathematical competencies of freshman students in radiology department, and that it is necessary to increase the students' mathematical competencies by offering major math courses in the curriculum and applying teaching-learning methods matching students' levels.

The KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) is a research tunnel which is located in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) site. At KURT, researches on engineering and natural barrier system, which are the most important components for geological disposal system for high level radioactive waste, have been conducted. In this study, we synthesized the site characteristics obtained by various types of site investigation to introduce the geological model for KURT site, and induced the 3-D hydrogeological model for KURT site from the geological model. From the geological investigation at the surface and boreholes, four geological elements such as subsurface weathered zone, upper fractured rock, lower fractured rock and fracture zones were determined for the geological model. In addition, the geometries of these geological elements were also analyzed for the geological model to be three-dimensional. The results from 3-D geological model were used to construct the hydro-geological model for KURT site, which is one of the input data for groundwater flow modeling and safety assessment.
