Purpose: On-line image guided radiation therapy(on-line IGRT) and(kV X-ray images or cone beam CT images) were obtained by an on-board imager(OBI) and cone beam CT(CBCT), respectively. The images were then compared with simulated images to evaluate the patient's setup and correct for deviations. The setup deviations between the simulated images(kV or CBCT images), were computed from 2D/2D match or 3D/3D match programs, respectively. We then investigated the correctness of the calculated deviations. Materials and Methods: After the simulation and treatment planning for the RANDO phantom, the phantom was positioned on the treatment table. The phantom setup process was performed with side wall lasers which standardized treatment setup of the phantom with the simulated images, after the establishment of tolerance limits for laser line thickness. After a known translation or rotation angle was applied to the phantom, the kV X-ray images and CBCT images were obtained. Next, 2D/2D match and 3D/3D match with simulation CT images were taken. Lastly, the results were analyzed for accuracy of positional correction. Results: In the case of the 2D/2D match using kV X-ray and simulation images, a setup correction within $0.06^{\circ}$ for rotation only, 1.8 mm for translation only, and 2.1 mm and $0.3^{\circ}$ for both rotation and translation, respectively, was possible. As for the 3D/3D match using CBCT images, a correction within $0.03^{\circ}$ for rotation only, 0.16 mm for translation only, and 1.5 mm for translation and $0.0^{\circ}$ for rotation, respectively, was possible. Conclusion: The use of OBI or CBCT for the on-line IGRT provides the ability to exactly reproduce the simulated images in the setup of a patient in the treatment room. The fast detection and correction of a patient's positional error is possible in two dimensions via kV X-ray images from OBI and in three dimensions via CBCT with a higher accuracy. Consequently, the on-line IGRT represents a promising and reliable treatment procedure.

In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the difference in image characteristics when multiple camera images are captured for virtual space production. Sixty-four images were used by cross-mounting eight bodies and lenses, respectively. Image analysis compares and analyzes the standard deviation of the histogram and pixel distribution values. As a result of the analysis, it shows different image characteristics depending on the lens or image sensor, though it is a camera of the same model. In this paper, we have adjusted the distribution of the overall brightness value of the image to compensate for this difference. As a result, the average deviation was the maximum of (Indoor: 6.89, outdoor: 24.23), we obtained images with almost no deviation (Indoor: maximum 0.42, outdoor: maximum: 2.73). In the future, we will study and apply more accurate image analysis methods than image brightness distribution.

Grain size distributions of sediment samples were analyzed by the different methods, and the results were compared. Reported data of the bottom sediments from the Korean seas show significant deviations among the institutes, and the inter-lab comparison and calibration procedures are considered to be necessary. Grain size data by different methods show different results. Laser diffraction method provides good precision in replicate analysis, but underestimates the amounts of finer (smaller than 2-3 ${\mu}m$) fraction. Data from particle settling method, on the other hand, represent significant errors in the coarse silt (5-6 ${\phi}$) fraction, and slightly overestimate the clay fraction. In the sieve and pipette methods, best results were taken in 0.5 ${\phi}$ interval of analysis. Especially in the coarse silt fraction, pipette analysis is suggested to be made with 0.5 ${\phi}$ interval. During the dry sieving procedure in 1 ${\phi}$ interval, serious errors occur when large amounts of sample materials were concentrated in a particular sieve.

In this research, the microwave oven drying method was investigated as a potential accurate testing approach for determining the water content of fresh concrete. To do so, water content estimation formulas employed in three prominent oven drying test methods were selected, and the calculation principles for each equation, along with potential error factors arising during the actual testing process, were considered. Moreover, a concrete test was conducted to validate the possible error factors. Consequently, it was confirmed that estimation errors in the water content of fresh concrete can occur due to sample deviations arising during the wet screening process for creating mortar specimens or deviations in the coarse aggregate sampling quantity during the sample collection process.

In an attempt to find better ways to relate growth with temperature and to estimate maturity differences in corn (Zea mays L.), various formulas of computing Growing Degree Days (GDD) were evaluated. Utilizing data from 17 plantings of a single cross, Suweon 19, over a 3 year period, 24 different methods of computing GDD were compared for their ability to reduce variations over different plantings. The best equation was to compute GDD with a base temperature of 10$^{\circ}C$ and an optimum of 30$^{\circ}C$. The excess temperature above 30$^{\circ}C$ was subtracted to account for high temperature stress. GDDs required for emergence and silking of Suweon 19 were 64${\pm}$12$^{\circ}$ and 794${\pm}$19$^{\circ}$, respectively. Based on these GDD values, emergence and silking dates could be estimated with a variation less than 3 days. The observed and estimated number of days from planting to emergence and silking were not significantly different.

Since PV PCS uses output current sensor for ac output current control, the sensor's sensing value includes unnecessary offset inevitably. If PV inverter is controlled by the included offset value, it's output current will generate DC offset. The DC offset of output current for trans-less PV inverter is fatal to grid, which results in saturating grid side transformer. Usually DSP controller of PV inverter reads several times sensing value during initial operation and, finally, it's average value is used for offset calibration. However, if temperature changes, the offset changes, too. Therefore, output current sensor measures sensing value that includes offset again. In this paper we propose new algorithm where two identical forward and reverse sensors are used to calculate the offset in real time. As a result the offset is not correlated with temperature change. The proposed algorithm is verified through PSIM simulation for validity.

2011년 4대강 다기능보 설치에 따라 배수영향을 받는 구간은 기존의 측정방법으로는 유량측정이 어려워 보 구간별로 자동유량측정시설을 설치하여 실시간으로 유량을 생산하고 있다. 하지만 현재 수질개선 및 하천 자연화를 위해 보 운영수위를 저하시켰다. 이에 수위 저하에 따른 측정영역 한계로 정상적인 운영에 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 합천창녕보 영향 구간 내 합천군(율지교), 합천군(적포교) 지점을 대상으로 상하류 유량관계를 활용하여 결측 및 오측자료를 보완하고자 한다. 대상지점은 2018년 수문개방에 따른 수위저하로 인한 결측과 부유물에 걸림에 의한 유속자료 오측으로 자료의 보완이 필요하였다. 이로 인해 자료 보완을 위하여 각 지점의 환산유량을 이용하여 경향성 검토를 하였으며, 상하류 환산유량과 검보정 측정성과와의 관계를 활용한 관계식을 개발하여 유량을 산정하였다. 산정된 유량과 검보정 측정결과 상관도(R2)는 0.95 이상으로 나타나 매우 합리적으로 판단되나 수문조작 시에 일부 편차는 보인다는 결과를 나타냈다. 단기적인 자료보완은 품질관리를 통해 다양한 방법으로 가능하지만 상하류 유량관계를 활용한 방법이 장기적인 자료를 보완하는 방법으로 적절하다고 판단된다. 향후 보완방법을 다른 보 구간의 지점에도 적용하여 보 수위저하에 따른 시설물 개선공사가 진행되는 동안 실시간 유량자료의 제공으로 연속적인 유량자료 생산이 가능하도록 하고자 한다.

국내외적으로 정확한 수문기상 현상의 관측에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이를 위하여 기존의 재래식 관측장비의 한계성을 극복하고자 첨단장비가 활발하게 도입되고 있다. 우리나라는 관악산 기상레이더를 시작으로 하천 및 도심지의 돌발홍수 정보를 제공하고자 강우레이더 신설을 진행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천유역조사 사업에서 티센다각형법을 이용하여 유역단위 면적평균강수량을 산정하는 경우 영동권역과 같이 지상관측소 밀집도 부족으로 인하여 발생하는 강수량의 공간적 편차를 정량적으로 검토하고자 전국 하천유역에 대하여 1.5km Constant Altitude PPI(CAPPI) 합성장의 레이더 강수량을 활용한 유역단위 면적평균강수량을 산정하고 지상 강수량과 통계적 적합도(goodness of fit)를 평가하였다. 지상 강수량을 활용한 유역단위 면적평균강수량과 레이더 강수량은 높은 상관성을 나타내었으나 관측기법의 특성으로 발생하는 정량적 편의(bias) 보정의 필요성을 확인하였다. 시공간적으로 고해상도의 레이더 강수정보를 활용하기 위하여 활용 목적에 적합한 레이더 강수량 보정기법의 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 대용량 레이더 자료를 안정적으로 처리할 수 있는 플랫폼 및 레이더 강수량 품질관리 체계 구축을 통하여 수문조사 및 수문해석 지원이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study performed the dam watershed storm runoff modeling using GPM(Global Precipitation Measurement) satellite rain and KIMSTORM2(KIneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Model 2) distributed model. For YongdamDam watershed(930㎢), three heavy rain events of 25th August 2014, 11th September 2017, and 26th June 2018 were selected and tested for 4 cases of spatial rainfalls such as (a) Kriging interpolated data using ground observed data at 7 stations, (b) original GPM data, (c) GPM corrected by CM(Conditional Merging), and GPM corrected by GDA(Geographical Differential Analysis). For the 4 kinds of data(Kriging, GPM, CM-GPM, and GDA-GPM), the KIMSTORM2 was calibrated respectively using the observed flood discharges at 3 water level gauge stations(Cheoncheon, Donghyang, and Yongdam) with parameters of initial soil moisture contents, stream Manning's roughness coefficient, and effective hydraulic conductivity. The total average Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency(NSE) for the 3 events and 3 stations was 0.94, 0.90, 0.94, and 0.94, determination coefficient(R²) was 0.96, 0.92, 0.97 and 0.96, the volume conservation index(VCI) was 1.03, 1.01, 1.03 and 1.02 for Kriging, GPM, CM-GPM, and GDA-GPM applications respectively. The CM-GPM and GDA-GPM showed better results than the original GPM application for peak runoff and runoff volume simulations, and they improved NSE, R², and VCI results.
