The occurrence and strength of the Asian Dust over the Korea Peninsular have been increased by the expansion of the desert area. For the continuous monitoring of the Asian Dust event, the geostationary satellites provide useful information by detecting the outbreak of the event as well as the long-range transportation of dust. The Infrared Optical Depth Index (IODI) derived from the MTSAT-1R data, indicating a quantitative index of the dust intensity, has been produced in real-time at Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) since spring of 2007 for the forecast of Asian dust. The data processing algorithm for IODI consists of mainly two steps. The first step is to detect dust area by using brightness temperature difference between two thermal window channels which are influenced with different extinction coefficients by dust. Here we use dynamic threshold values based on the change of surface temperature. In the second step, the IODI is calculated using the ratio between current IR1 brightness temperature and the maximum brightness temperature of the last 10 days which we assume the clear sky. Validation with AOD retrieved from MODIS shows a good agreement over the ocean. Comparison of IODI with the ground based PM10 observation network in Korea shows distinct characteristics depending on the altitude of dust layer estimated from the Lidar data. In the case that the altitude of dust layer is relatively high, the intensity of IODI is larger than that of PM10. On the other hand, when the altitude of dust layer is lower, IODI seems to be relatively small comparing with PM10 measurement.

Over the 20th century global temperature increase has been 0.6$^{\circ}C$. The globally averaged surface temperature is projected to increase by 1.4 to 5.8$^{\circ}C$ over the period 1990 to 2100. Nearly all land areas will have higher maximum temperature and minimum temperature, and fewer cold days and frost days. More intense precipitation events will take plate over many areas. Over most mid-latitude continental interiors will have increased summer continental drying and associated risk of drought. By 2100, if the annual surface temperature increase is 3.5$^{\circ}C$, we will have 15.9$^{\circ}C$ from 12.4$^{\circ}C$ at present. Also the annual precipitation will range 1,118-2,447 mm from 972-1,841 mm at present in Korea. Consequently the average crop periods for summer crops will be 250 days that prolonged 32 days than at present. In the case of gradual increase of global warming, an annual crop can be adapted to the changing climate through the selection of filial generations in breeding process. The perennial crops such as an apple should be shifted the chief producing place to northern or high latitude areas where below 13.5$^{\circ}C$ of the annual surface temperature. If global warming happens suddenly over the threshold atmospheric greenhouse gases, then all ecosystems will have tremendous disturbance. Agricultural land-use plan, which state that farmers decide what to plant, based on their climate-based advantages. Therefore, farmers will mitigate possible negative imparts associated with the climate change. The farmers will have application to use agricultural meteorological information system, and agricultural long-range weather forecast system for their agroecosystems management. The ideal types of crops under $CO_2$ increase and climate change conditions are considered that ecological characteristics need indispensable to accomplish the sustainable agriculture as the diversification of genetic resources from yield-oriented to biomass-oriented characteristics with higher potential of $CO_2$ absorption and primary production. In addition, a heat-and-cold tolerance, a pest resistance, an environmental adaptability, and production stability should be also incorporated collectively into integrated agroecosystem.

국제적인 금융위기가 연달아 발생하면서, 금융리스크관리의 중요성이 어느 때보다 더 커지고 있다. 금융리스크관리의 주요 현안 가운데 하나는 리스크를 어떻게 측정할 것인가이며, 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 방법이 Value at Risk(VaR)이다. 금융자료가 최근 시장에서처럼 두꺼운 꼬리를 갖는 분포를 보일 때, 우리는 극단치 이론을 이용하여 VaR를 측정하는 방법을 고려할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 꼬리가 매우 두꺼운 분포를 갖는 자료를 적합시킬 때 많이 사용되는 Peaks over Threshold(POT)를 이용하여 VaR를 측정하는 방법을 연구하였다. POT를 이용하기 위해서는 우선 일반화 파레토 분포(GPD)의 모수를 추정해야 하는데, 여기서 우리는 KOSPI 5분 자료를 이용하여 추정된 VaR의 성능을 살펴봄으로써 세 가지 다른 모수추정 방법을 비교하였다. 또한, Normal Inverse Gaussian(NIG) 분포에서 자료를 생성하여 두 가지 다른 모수추정 방법을 비교하기도 하였다. 이러한 비교를 통하여 KOSPI 수익률 자료의 첨도가 매우 큰 경우에는 최근 제안된 모수추정 방법들이 최대가능도 추정법에 비해 월등히 나은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었고, 모의실험 자료에서도 같은 결과를 확인하였다.

최근 캠코더와 같은 영상 장비의 고성능화 및 대중화, 그리고 화상 처리(image procession) 기술의 발달 등으로 인하여 영상 기반의 구조물 동적변위 계측에 관한 연구가 활발하며, 이러한 연구개발의 결과로 관련 시스템의 사용성 및 정확도가 많이 개선되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 영상 기반 시스템의 경우 장비 측면에서 볼 때 영상 장비 자체의 진동에 의한 오차, 화상 처리 과정에서의 오차 등을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 또한 적용 측면에서 볼 때 교량의 수직 처짐이나 건축구조물의 수평변위 계측에 제한되어 있어 부유체의 파랑응답과 같은 3차원 운동을 하는 구조물에 대한 확장이 필요한 시점이다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 영상 기반 동적변위 계측방법을 3차원 문제에 적용하기 위하여 다중 표적(multiple target)을 사용한 방법을 제시하고, 또한 화상 처리 과정에서의 정량적 판단 기준을 제시함으로써 간접적으로 영상 기반 시스템의 계측 정확도를 평가하여, 영상 기반 방법에 의하여 계측된 동적변위 계측결과의 유효성을 판단할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 방법을 $50m{\times}30m{\times}5m$ 규모의 대형 부유체에 대한 실해역 파랑 응답 실험에 적용하여, 부유체의 동적변위를 계측하였으며, 그 결과를 기존의 RTK-GPS(Real Time Kinematics-Global Positioning System), MRU(Motion Reference Unit) 등의 장비를 이용한 계측결과와 비교함으로써 그 성능을 검증하였다.

We investigate a class of HIV infection models with two kinds of target cells: $CD4^+$ T cells and macrophages. We incorporate three distributed time delays into the models. Moreover, we consider the effect of humoral immunity on the dynamical behavior of the HIV. The viruses are produced from four types of infected cells: short-lived infected $CD4^+$T cells, long-lived chronically infected $CD4^+$T cells, short-lived infected macrophages and long-lived chronically infected macrophages. The drug efficacy is assumed to be different for the two types of target cells. The HIV-target incidence rate is given by bilinear and saturation functional response while, for the third model, both HIV-target incidence rate and neutralization rate of viruses are given by nonlinear general functions. We show that the solutions of the proposed models are nonnegative and ultimately bounded. We derive two threshold parameters which fully determine the positivity and stability of the three steady states of the models. Using Lyapunov functionals, we established the global stability of the steady states of the models. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.

This article explores an extended sense of autonomy in contemporary architecture activated through the practice of fashion, by taking architect Rem Koolhaas' work Prada Epicenter in New York as a case. In doing so, it argues that throughout the work Koolhaas sets up a world in which the corporate and the individual are entangled together in complex ways. Instead of considering Prada Epicenter to be the exemplar illustrating that the global company-Prada-institutionalizes the designed commercial space in a top-down manner, this article claims that such a space imbricates a multiplicity of meaning that is generated at the intersections of the local and the global, the ordinary and the spectacular, and the individual and the institutional. In this respect French philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky's fashion theory works as a critical point: his claim that the ambivalence of fashion-both as corporate power and individual freedom-is a threshold encouraging us to better understand the operativity of late capitalism in daily life is extended to Koolhaas' case. In other words, Koolhaas' Prada Epicenter brings forth possibilities that the ostensibly technocratic and institutionalized space in fact works as a resillient field where senses of individual autonomy arise in the aid of corporative practice of branding.

Microarray expression datasets are incessantly cumulated with the aid of recent technological advances. One of the first steps for analyzing these data under various experimental conditions is determining differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in each condition. Reasonable choices of thresholds for determining differentially expressed genes are used for the next -step-analysis with suitable statistical significances. We present a model for identifying DEGs using pathway information based on the global connectivity structure. Pathway information can be regarded as a collection of biological knowledge, thus we are tying to determine the optimal threshold so that the consequential connectivity structure can be the most compatible with the existing pathway information. The significant feature of our model is that it uses established knowledge as a reference to determine the direction of analyzing microarray dataset. In the most of previous work, only intrinsic information in the miroarray is used for the identifying DEGs. We hope that our proposed method could contribute to construct biologically meaningful network structure from microarray datasets.

Lane detection is a key function in developing autonomous vehicle technology. In this paper, we propose a lane marker detection algorithm robust to environmental variation targeting low cost embedded computing devices. The proposed algorithm consists of two phases: initialization phase which is slow but has relatively higher accuracy; and the tracking phase which is fast and has the reliable performance in a limited condition. The initialization phase detects lane markers using a set of filters utilizing the various features of lane markers. The tracking phase uses Kalman filter to accelerate the lane marker detection processing. In a tracking phase, we measure the reliability of the detection results and switch it to initialization phase if the confidence level becomes below a threshold. By combining the initialization and tracking phases we achieved high accuracy and acceptable computing speed even under a low cost computing resources in which we cannot use the computing intensive algorithm such as deep learning approach. Experimental results show that the detection accuracy is about 95% on average and the processing speed is about 20 frames per second with Raspberry Pi 3 which is low cost device.

본 논문에서는 정합된 특징점 가운데 과대 오차를 포함한 정합점을 제거한 후에 삼각망 기반 지역 변환(Triangulation-based Local Transformation, TLT)을 이용한 영상 등록 방법을 제안한다. 기하 평균 기반의 코너 검출기를 통해 검출된 코너점에 대해 Pearson's correlation coefficient를 이용한 코너 정합을 수행하고 임계값 이상의 유사도를 가지는 코너 가운데 좌우 일관성 검사(Left-Right Consistency, LRC)를 통과한 코너를 1차 정합쌍으로 선정한다. 1차 정합쌍 가운데 RANSAC 기반 글로벌 변환(RANSAC-based Global Transformation, RGT) 오차가 이상치 임계값보다 작은 정합쌍을 최종 정합쌍으로 결정한다. 최종 정합쌍 코너를 이용해서 기준 영상과 관측 영상에서 Delaunay Triangulated Irregular Networks(TINs)을 각각 구성한 후에 서로 대응되는 각 삼각형마다 어파인 변환을 수행하고 각 삼각형 내부의 모든 화소들을 기준 영상 좌표로 변환한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 KOMPSAT-2 영상에 적용하여 RANSAC 기반 글로벌 변환보다 우수한 영상 등록 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.
