  • People spend the majority of their time in indoor environments. Maintaining adequate indoor temperature and humidity is necessary to support health and improve quality of life. However, people with low incomes can be vulnerable because they may not be able to use effective cooling and heating systems in their homes. In this study, the indoor temperature and humidity in low-income residences over a year in Seoul, Korea was characterized. Indoor temperature and humidity were measured in three types of homes (12 rooftop residences, 16 basement residences, and 18 public rental apartments) occupied by low-income residents. Both differed significantly among the three types of residence, particularly during the summer and winter seasons. A regression model between indoor and outdoor temperature detected a heating threshold at $3.9^{\circ}C$ for rooftop residences, $9.9^{\circ}C$ for basement residences, and $17.1^{\circ}C$ for public rental apartments. During tropical nights and cold-wave advisory days, rooftop residences showed the most extreme indoor temperatures. This study demonstrates that people living in rooftop residences could be at risk from extreme hot and cold conditions.

  • This study considers mean skin temperature to calculate expected temperature using the new heat balance model because the skin temperature is the most important element affecting the heat balance outdoors. For this, we measured the skin temperature in high temperature condition of Korea and applied it to calculate the expected temperature. The calculated expected temperature is compared with the result calculated using previous models which use the estimated mean skin temperature by considering metabolic rate only. Results show that the expected temperatures are higher when measured mean skin temperature is applied to the model, compared to the expected temperature calculated by applying mean skin temperature data calculated using metabolic rate like previous models. The observed mean skin temperature was more suitable for outside conditions and expected temperature is underestimated when mean skin temperature calculated by the equation using metabolic rate is used. The model proposed in this study has a few limitations yet, but it can be applied in various ways to facilitate practical responses to extreme heat.

  • 가뭄, 홍수와 같은 이상기후에 따른 낙동강 유역의 수문과 수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 강우 시나리오기반의 장기유출 유역모의를 통해 지표유출과 오염부하량 발생 특성을 살펴보았다. 전반적으로가뭄년도에서는지표유출량감소에 따라 오염부하량 감소현상을, 홍수년도에는 강우유출 증가에 따른 부하량 증가를 나타냈으나, 상류유역의 댐 직 하류와 같은 특정유역에서는 가뭄 시 댐 운영으로 인한 방류효과와 토양수분량의 변화 등의 물리적 요인들로 인해 SS부하량의 증가현상이 나타났다. 가뭄에 따른 SS의 농도변화는 유량변화에 따라 민감하게 반응하여 가뭄년도의 평수량 및 갈수량 시기에 높은 농도분포를 나타내었고 T-P는 상대적으로 본류구간보다는 유량이 비교적 적은 지류구간에서 높은 농도범위를 나타내었다. 반면, 홍수년도의 경우SS와T-P 모두 기준년도와 유사한농도범위에서 완만한형태의 변화를보였다. 또한, 유출량이 적은 건기 시에는 SS 부하량 유출도 감소하지만 유출량이 증가할수록 부하량이 급격히 증가하는 반면, T-P의 경우 건기 시에 부하량 유출이 크고 강우 시에는 오히려 감소하여 건기일수와 강우패턴에 지배적으로 각기 다른 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

  • In winter 2013, extreme air pollution by fine particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$) in China attracted much public attention. In order to simulate the $PM_{2.5}$ pollution, the Community Multiscale Air Quality model driven by the Weather Research and Forecasting model was applied to East Asia in a period from 1 January 2013 to 5 February 2013. The model generally reproduced $PM_{2.5}$ concentration in China with emission data in the year 2006. Therefore, the extreme $PM_{2.5}$ pollution seems to be mainly attributed to meteorological (weak wind and stable) conditions rather than emission increases in the past several years. The model well simulated temporal and spatial variations in $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in Japan as well as China, indicating that the model well captured characteristics of the $PM_{2.5}$ pollutions in both areas on the windward and leeward sides in East Asia in the study period. In addition, contribution rates of four anthropogenic emission sectors (power generation, industrial, residential and transportation) in China to $PM_{2.5}$ concentration were estimated by conducting zero-out emission sensitivity runs. Among the four sectors, the residential sector had the highest contribution to $PM_{2.5}$ concentration. Therefore, the extreme $PM_{2.5}$ pollution may be also attributed to large emissions from combustion for heating in cold regions in China.

  • 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트를 수행할 때 가장 중요한 것은 개발 기간 내에 계획된 품질의 결과물을 얻는 것이다. 특히 배포 시기와 품질에 민감한 콘텐츠 소프트웨어 개발의 경우 프로젝트가 연기되거나 원하지 않는 품질의 결과물이 나오게 되면 바로 전체 프로젝트의 실패로 연결된다. 익스트림 프로그래밍 기법은 개발 기간이 중요한 프로젝트의 위험 요소를 줄이기 위해 보다 작은 단위로 개발 주기를 나누는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 콘텐츠 소프트웨어 개발 환경을 위해 개발 기간과 품질이라는 두 가지 주요 요소를 동시에 고려할 수 있는 확장된 익스트림 프로그래밍 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 개발 프로젝트 진행 중에 제안되는 잉여 아이디어의 문서화 장치와 페어 프로그래밍 기법을 확장하여 다중 역할 모델을 적용하는 방안이다.

  • A long-term resuspension of small particles, called persistent turbidity, is one of the most important water quality concerns in the dam reservoirs system located in North Han River. Persistent turbidity may incur aesthetic nuisance and harmful effect on the ecosystem health, in addition to elevated water treatment costs for the drinking water supply to the Seoul metropolitan area. These sufferings have been more intensified as the strength and frequency of rainfall events increase by climate change in the basin. This study was to analyze the effect of an extreme turbidity flow event that occurred in 2006 on the serial reservoirs system (Soyang-Uiam-Cheongpyung-Paldang) in North Han River. The CE-QUAL-W2 model was set up and calibrated for the river and reservoirs system using the field data obtained in 2006 and 2007. The results showed that Soyang Reservoir released turbid water, which was classified as the TSS concentration is greater than 25 mg/L, for 334 days with peak TSS of 264.1 mg/L after the extreme flood event (592.7 mm) occurred between July 10 and 18 of 2006. The turbid water departed from Soyang Reservoir reached at the most downstream Paldang Reservoir after about 20 days and sustained for 41 days, which was validated with water treatment plant data. Since the released water from Soyang Reservoir had low water temperature and high TSS, an underflow formed in the downstream reservoirs and vertically mixed at Paldang Reservoir due to dilution by the sufficient inflow from South Han River.

  • The design and analysis of a quayside mooring system for safe mooring of Prelude FLNG under extreme environmental conditions were carried out. The design of the mooring system considered the yard operation conditions and maximum wind speed during a typhoon. In order to secure the mooring safety of Prelude FLNG under an extreme environment, a special steel structure was designed between the quay and Prelude FLNG to maintain the distance from the quay to a certain extent to avoid a collision with the inclined base. The mooring safety was also ensured by installing additional new parts on the quay. A mooring analysis and mooring safety review were performed with more rigorous modeling considering the nonlinearity of the mooring rope and fender. In order to secure additional safety of the mooring system under extreme environmental conditions, a safety assessment was conducted on the failures of the mooring components proposed in the marine mooring guidelines. Based on the results of the mooring analysis, it was confirmed that the Prelude FLNG can be safely moored even under the extreme conditions of typhoons, and a worst case scenario analysis verified that the mooring system design was robust enough. The proposed mooring analysis and design method will provide a basis for the safe mooring of ultra-large floating offshore structures of similar size in the future.

  • This study examines the risk of overheating of a school building, under extreme hot weather conditions, in 14 locations in the United Kingdom using the overheating criteria defined in Building Bulletin 101 (BB101). The building was modelled as naturally ventilated, mechanically ventilated and in mixed mode and was simulated both for the current and the projected weather conditions of the 2050s. Under the current weather conditions, results of the simulations show that when naturally ventilated, the school building fulfils the BB101 criteria only in the areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow. In the simulations of the building as mechanically ventilated and in mixed mode, mechanical cooling was provided in order for the building to comply with the overheating criteria. A comparison of the required cooling loads between the two scenarios shows that application of mixed mode ventilation results in less cooling loads.
