This research aims 1) to characterize the spatial distribution of low relief landforms (plains) via analyses of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), 2) to classify plains according to morphological and genetic similarity, and 3) to develop a model to explain forming processes of plains in the Korean peninsula. Plains can easily be separated from high relief mountaneous areas by analyzing the DEM. The overall morphological and locational characteristics of plains can be categorized into lava plains, fluvial-marine plains, erosional plains, intermontane basins, and higher ground plains. It is concluded that the characteristic of each plain type is decided by base-level changes caused by tectonic uplift and sea-level changes, and topological relationship of different rock types. Different plain types do not exist independently, but connected with each others along stream networks. The model developed is able to combine the morphological characteristics of plains with the channel network to conceptualize characteristics and development pathways of plains in the Korean Peninsula.

자원 재활용 및 에너지 생산관점에서 폐유지로부터 환경친화적인 연료인 바이오디젤에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 폐유지내 함유된 유리지방산 및 수분에 의해 효율적인 에스테르화 반응이 어렵기 때문에 이를 전처리 단계에서 제거되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 폐유지내 유리지방산을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 회분식 반응기에서 제올라이트 촉매의 종류에 의한 세공구조와 산성도 변화에 따른 유리지방산 전환반응에 미치는 영향을 조사해 보았다. 제올라이트 촉매의 유리지방산 전환율은 세공구조와 산성도에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 유리지방산 전환율은 FAU < MOR < MFI < BEA의 순으로 높았다. 제올라이트의 세공구조는 1차원적인 구조를 가질 경우 탄소침적이 일어나지만 3차원적인 세공구조를 가지는 경우 탄소침적에 의한 촉매의 활성저하가 감소된다. 또한 제올라이트의 산성도에 따른 특성으로는 유리지방산의 전환반응에는 중간정도의 산세기를 가진 촉매가 유리함을 확인하였다. 그러므로 폐유지로부터 유리지방산을 제거하기 위한 우수한 제올라이트 촉매로는 BEA 제올라이트 촉매임을 확인하였다.

Citation analysis studies have reported many problems associated with data coverage problems common to popular citation databases such as Web of Science(WoS). In addition, the studies that analyzed citation patterns of Korean publications found that up to 75% of references in Korean publications were to international publications. As a first step in investigating the international coverage of WoS database, the study investigated the effect of adding citation data from Korea Science Citation Database(KSCD) to the impact factors and journal rankings of the journals listed in Journal Citation Reports. Specifically, the study mined the reference data from top 5 Korean Library and Information Science(KLIS) journals to recompute the impact factors reported in JCR 2009. Since the resulting journal rankings did not significantly differ from JCR 2009 rankings except for minor ranking changes, we analyzed additional citation data from 45 computer science and electrical engineering journals. Although the overall ranking difference was not statistically significant, one of the ranking partitions showed significant change. Such study findings despite its limited data sample suggest the potential impact of non-Western citation databases such as KSCD to bibliometric indicators provided by popular citation databases like WoS.

This study was conducted in order to empirically analyze factors affecting the quality of life in the elder resulting from the use of elderly leisure facilities in the community. For this purpose, we surveyed the elder using the senior health town of Gwang-ju Metropolitan City to see whether the quality of life in the elder is influenced by factors such as facilities' environment within the health town, the capacity for the staff and instructors, and the elders' satisfaction with programs. The results of this study are expected to provide practical solutions for enhancing the quality of life in senior users. The survey was performed with 1,038 elders aged over 60 who were using the senior health town of Gwang-ju Metropolitan City by using a self-administered questionnaire and being interviewed with surveyors. The period of the survey was from the 10th to 15th of December, 2010. According to the results of this study, variables affecting the elders' quality of life were academic qualification (B= .074, p<0.05), instructors satisfaction (B=.172, p<0.001), staff satisfaction (B=.104, p<0.01), and facilities and environment satisfaction (B=.217, p<0.001). That is, the lower academic background they have, the higher instructors', staff's, facilities and environment's satisfaction are, the quality of life in the elder was positively affected. In particular, facilities and environment's satisfaction show a relatively high effect and this suggests the necessity to modernize cultural and leisurely facilities in community for senior citizens and create pleasant environment in order to improve the quality of life in the elder.

This study investigates normative role model of the journalists under the changing environment. Firstly, this article explores what pressure the new media environment gives to the journalists in their routine of news production and distribution. These are stated from the angle of epistemological, professional and interactive pressure. Next, as a reference for the standard journalism in the age of mass media, the idea of Rhee Young-hee, a late journalist who won respects from many Korean journalists, is studied. His firm belief in the pursuit of hard facts, rigorous investigative writing and expertism are spelt out. Then, this study explores how, in real term, this pressure changes the journalistic value, norm and practices in the newsroom. Ten of Koran journalists are interviewed in order to get their idea about the emerging journalistic standards under the digital environment. From this in-depth interviews, it is conclued that the pursuit of hard fact, investigative writing, expertism of Rhee Young-hee are, nonetheless the change of the media technology, still effective and provide good reference points for the enhancement of the standard of journalism in Korea. However, it is also suggested that the methods to fulfil desirable journalism in the digital age should be different from that of the mass communication age. The interviewees make propose that the journalist, as a network node, news curator or coordinator, should actively interact with the audiences facilitating their enhanced potential as a news 'prosumer'(producer and consumer).

Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) data help to enable rapid emergency responses through detection of the artificial and natural disasters occurring at night. The DNB data without correction of lunar irradiance effect distributed by Korea Ocean Science Center (KOSC) has advantage for rapid change detection because of direct receiving. In this study, radiance differences according to the phase of the moon was analyzed for urban and mountain areas in Korean Peninsula using the DNB data directly receiving to KOSC. Lunar irradiance correction algorithm was proposed for the change detection. Relative correction was performed by regression analysis between the selected pixels considering the land cover classification in the reference DNB image during the new moon and the input DNB image. As a result of daily difference image analysis, the brightness value change in urban area and mountain area was ${\pm}30$ radiance and below ${\pm}1$ radiance respectively. The object based change detection was performed after the extraction of the main object of interest based on the average image of time series data in order to reduce the matching and geometric error between DNB images. The changes in brightness occurring in mountainous areas were effectively detected after the calibration of lunar irradiance effect, and it showed that the developed technology could be used for real time change detection.

The purpose of the research is to analyze research trends related to climate change education by network analysis based on keywords extracted from the research title. For this purpose, 62 papers were selected from Korean Citation Index(KCI) journals published from 2011 to 2020 using such keywords as "climate change" and "climate change education" in the Research Information Sharing Service. The analysis procedure consisted of selection of analysis papers, keyword extraction and purification, and keyword network analysis and visualization. Textom, Ucinet 6.0, and NetDraw were used to analyze the frequency, degree centrality, and betweenness centrality. The results of the research showed that, first, Early 'Energy and Climate Change Education' had the highest frequency of papers examining climate change education. Second, the keywords/phrases that appeared most frequently in research on climate change education were "program" "energy," "analysis," "elementary school," "elementary school," "elementary school students," "development," and "impact." Third, the analysis of the centrality of betweenness centrality showed that the index of 'program', 'primary students' and 'primary schools' were the highest, and the largest group was 'development and effect of teaching and learning programs'. Based on these results, it was concluded that future research on climate change education needs to be examined in further detail and expanded into more specific areas.

This paper proposes an efficient motion compensation algorithm for video sequences with brightness variations. In the proposed algorithm, the brightness variation parameters are estimated and local motions are compensated. To detect the frame with large brightness variations. we employ the frame classification based on the cross entropy between histograms of two successive frames, which can reduce the computational redundancy. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields a higher peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) than the conventional methods, with a low computational load, when the video scene contains large brightness changes.

Ontology is an essential component of the semantic web and it continue to change and evolve. We study a set of changes based on domain changes, changes in conceptualization, metadata changes, and time dimension. Ontology versioning brings about massive amount of versions to be stored and maintained. We present several storage policies and conduct a set of experiments to compare the performance of each storage policies.
