Intensive visibility monitoring was conducted to investigate physical and chemical characteristics of visibility impairment by airborne pollen. Light attenuation coefficients were optically measured by a transmissometer, a nephelometer, and an aethalometer. Elemental, ionic, and carbonaceous species were chemically analyzed on the filters collected by $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ samplers. Aerosol size distribution was analyzed using a cascade impactor during airborne pollen period. Airborne pollen count was calculated using a scanning electron microscope. Airborne pollen was emitted into the atmosphere in springtime and funker degraded visibility through its scattering and absorbing the light. Average light extinction coefficient was measured to be $211{\pm}36Mm^{-1}$ when airborne pollen was not observed. But it increased to $459{\pm}267Mm^{-1}$ during the airborne pollen period due to increase of average $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ mass concentration and relative humidity and airborne pollen count concentration for $PM_{10}$, which were measured to be $46.5{\pm}29.1{\mu}g\;m^{-3},\;97.0{\pm}41.7{\mu}g\;m^{-3},\;54.1{\pm}11.6%$, and $68.2{\pm}89.7m^{-3}$, respectively. Average light extinction efficiencies for $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ were calculated to be $5.9{\pm}0.9$ and $4.5{\pm}0.8m^2 g^{-1}$ during the airborne pollen period. Light extinction efficiency for $PM_{10}$ increased further than that for $PM_{2.5}$. The average light extinction budget by airborne pollen was estimated to be about 24% out of the average measured light extinction coefficient during the airborne pollen period.

한반도 지진자료의 총 감쇠상수($\varrho_t^{-1}$)를 고유감쇠($\varrho_i^{-1}$)와 산란감쇠($\varrho_s^{-1}$)값으로 분리된 결과를 바탕으로 다중산란 모델에 의한 이론코다감쇠($\varrho_{Cexp}^{-1}$)값을 구하고 단일산란 모델의 관측코다감쇠($\varrho_c^{-1}$)값 및 나머지 감쇠상수 값($\varrho_t^{-1}$, $\varrho_i^{-1}$,$\varrho_s^{-1}$)과 비교하였다. 그 결과, $\varrho_{Cexp}^{-1}$ 값은 $\varrho_i^{-1}$값에 근접한 모습이나, $\varrho_c^{-1}$값이 24 Hz 고주파수 대역을 제외한 대부분의 구간에서 $\varrho_i^{-1}$보다는 $\varrho_t^{-1}$에 가깝고 $\varrho_{Cexp}^{-1}$ 값과도 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 $\varrho_i^{-1}$와 $\varrho_s^{-1}$값이 실제로는 깊이에 따라 변하는 값임에도 불구하고 균일한 모델을 이용한 왜곡된 결과이다.

Background: Loading of excess nutrient via bioremediation of polluted sediment to overlying water could trigger anoxia and eutrophication in coastal area. The aim of this research was to understand the changes of overlying water features such as dissolved oxygen (DO); pH; oxidation reduction potential (ORP); $chlorophyll-{\alpha}$ ($Chl-{\alpha}$); and nitrogen nutrients ammonia ($N-NH_4{^+}$), nitrate ($N-NO_3{^-}$), and nitrite ($N-NO_2^-$) when the sediment was not treated (control) and treated by calcium peroxide for 5 weeks. Methods: The water samples were analyzed for measuring physical and chemical properties along with the sediment analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) including denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) for identifying the phylogenetic affiliation of microbial communities. Results: Results showed that due to the addition of calcium peroxide in sediment, the overlying water exposed the rise of dissolve oxygen, pH, and ORP than control. Among the nitrogen nutrients, ammonia inhibition was higher in calcium peroxide treatment than control but in case of nitrate inhibition, it was reversed than control. $Chlorophyll-{\alpha}$ was declined in treatment column water by 30% where it was 20% in control column water. Actibacter and Salegentibacter group were detectable in the calcium-peroxide-treated sediment; in contrary, no detectable community ware found in control sediment. Both phylogenetic groups are closely related to marine microflora. Conclusions: This study emphasizes the importance of calcium peroxide as an oxygen release material. Interaction with peroxide proved to be enhancing the formation of microbial community that are beneficial for biodegradation and spontaneity of nutrient attenuation into overlying water.

최근 WLAN을 기반으로 하는 실내 위치추정 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 대부분의 WLAN을 기반으로 하는 위치추정 시스템들은 fingerprinting 기법을 사용한다. fingerprinting 기법에서 이동객체의 위치정확도는 참조 점의 수에 비례한다. 하지만 참조 점의 수에 따라 training 단계에서 fingerprint 데이터베이스를 생성하기 위해 많은 시간과 노력을 요구한다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 WLAN 기반 AP들의 주변 환경정보를 이용하여 AP와 이동 객체 간의 거리를 산출하여 위치를 추정하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 이동 객체의 위치 정확도를 개선하기 위하여 제안 알고리즘에 파티클 필터를 적용하였다. 이 알고리즘을 구현하기 위하여 먼저 AP들의 주변에 존재하는 벽, 철문, 유리문, 파티션 등과 같은 환경 정보 데이터베이스를 구축하였고 위치 추정은 감쇠 모델과 경로 손실 모델을 이용하였다. 제안 알고리즘을 실험을 통하여 확인한 결과 위치 정확도는 낮았지만 fingerprinting의 문제점을 해결하였다.

잡음 추정과 검출 알고리즘에서는 LMS Filter를 이용하여 변화하는 잡음 환경에 빠르게 적응할 수 있도록 한다. 하지만 LMS Filter는 잡음 추정을 위한 일정 시간 동안 적응 시간이 필요하며 신호의 변화가 일어날 경우 더 많은 적응 시간이 소요되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이를 보완하기 위하여 프레임 단위의 AELMS Filter를 이용한 잡음 제거 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문은 잡음 환경에서 입력되는 신호를 프레임 단위로 분할하고 평균과 분산을 이용한 예측 LMS Filter를 구성하여 잡음을 제거하므로 잡음 환경이 변화하더라도 빠른 적응 시간으로 잡음을 제거한다. 또한 환경 잡음과 음성 신호가 혼합되어 입력될 때 잡음을 제거하여 음성의 고유 특성을 유지하고 음성 정보 손상을 줄이기 위한 방법이다. 프레임 단위의 AELMS Filter를 이용한 잡음 제거 방법으로 잡음 제거 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 변화하는 환경 잡음을 제거하여 얻은 감쇠도가 평균 6.8dB 향상되었다.

Monitoring and assessing terminal electron accepting processes (TEAPs) are one of the most important steps to remediate contaminated sites via various in-situ techniques. TEAPs are a part of the microbial respiration reactions. Microorganisms gain energy from these reactions and reduces pollutants. Monitoring TEAPs enables us to predict degradability of contaminants and degradation rates. In many countries, TEAPs have been used for characterization of field sites and management of groundwater wells. For instance, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided strategies for groundwater quality and well management by applying TEAPs monitoring. Denmark has also constructed TEAPs map of local unit area to develop effective groundwater managing system, particularly to predict and assess nitrogen contamination. In case of Korea, although detailed soil survey and groundwater contamination assessment have been employed, site investigation guidelines using TEAPs have not been established yet. To better define TEAPs in subsurface environments, multiple indicators including ion concentrations, isotope compositions and contaminant degradation byproducts must be assessed. Furthermore, dissolved hydrogen concentrations are regarded as significant evidence of TEAPs occurring in subsurface environment. This review study introduces optimal sampling techniques of groundwater and dissolved hydrogen, and further discuss how to assess TEAPs in contaminated subsurface environments according to several contamination scenarios.

We have investigated the impact of anthropogenic and natural disturbances on regeneration, composition and diversity in some temperate forests of Bhagirathi Catchment Area of Garhwal Himalaya. The forests were categorized on the basis of canopy cover and magnitude of disturbance into highly, moderately and least disturbed classes. The dominant tree species at lower elevation were Pinus roxburghii and Quercus leucotrichophora, while Abies pindrow, Q. semecarpifolia and Rhododenron arboreum were the dominant species at the upper elevational forests. Cythula tomentosa and Indegophera heterentha were the dominant shrub species present in all the forests. Similarly, Circium wallichii and Oxalis corniculata were the dominant herb species found in all forests (except Q. leucotrichophora forest), whereas Thalictrum foliolosum and Viola pilosa were noticed in each forest (except P. roxburghii forest). The tree density values oscillated between $400{\pm}10\;trees\;ha^{-1}$ to $750{\pm}89.1\;trees\;ha^{-1}$ which generally decreased from lower to higher disturbance regimes however, the total basal cover value was highest ($88.1{\pm}23.6m^2\;ha^{-1}$) in highly disturbed forest and lowest ($25.8{\pm}2.2m^2\;ha^{-1}$) in moderately disturbed forest. The shrub and herb densities were maximum in least disturbed forest, while the young regenerating individuals i.e., sapling and seedling were observed increasing from high to low disturbed forests which reflected that the forest fragmentation adversely affected the regeneration. However, A. pindrow and P. roxburghii were found invariably encroaching the habitats of R. arboreum and Q. leucotrichophora at various altitudes, respectively. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis clearly indicated that the elevation and lopping intensity have more impact on trees, while shrub and herbs were more influenced by elevation, canopy cover, light attenuation and soil erosion. Pinus roxburghii was the only species which was affected by heavy litter removal and forest fire.

Cast-resin transformers are widely installed in various electrical power systems because of their low operating cost and low influence on external environmental factors. However, when they have an internal defect during the manufacturing process or operation, a partial discharge (PD) occurs, and eventually destroys the insulation. In this paper, a Rogowski-type PD sensor was studied to replace commercial PD sensors used for the insulation diagnosis of power apparatus. The proposed PD sensor was manufactured with four different types of PCB-based winding structures, and it was analyzed in terms of the detection characteristics for standard calibration pulses and the changes of the output voltage according to the distance. The output increased linearly in accordance with the applied discharge amount. It was confirmed that the hexagon structure sensor had the highest sensitivity, because the winding cross-sectional area of the sensor was larger than others. In addition, as the distance from the defect increased, the output voltage of the sensors decreased by 7.32% on average. It was also confirmed that the attenuation rate according to the distance decreased as the input discharge amount increased. For the application of this new type sensor, PD electrode system was designed to simulate the void defect. Waveforms and PRPD patterns measured by the proposed PD sensors at DIV and 120% of DIV were the same as the results measured by MPD 600 based on IEC 60270. The proposed PD sensors can be installed on the inner wall of the transformer tank by coating its surfaces with a non-conductive material; therefore, it is possible to detect internal defects more effectively at a closer distance from the defect than the conventional sensors.
