  • The DGPS transmits the enhancement signal to GPS using the medium frequency band. The NDGPS service that covers the Korean peninsula has been started since 2009. The service area of ocean-based DGPS(maritime-DGPS) reference stations covers the 100NM, but land-based DGPS(land-DGPS) covers 80km service area less than that of maritime DGPS. The DGPS's antenna has the top-loaded monopole antenna type. Top-loaded monopoles are the logical antennas to be used in order to get a low profile antenna and a performance according to the broadcaster and communication needs. The antenna needs to get the ground plane with good conductivity characteristics and flat ground plane without obstacle near to the transmitting antenna. In this paper, the radiation characteristics of an equivalent MF antenna are analyzed in view points of the ground conductivity and the ground plane with obstacle near to the antenna.

  • 전남지역 13곳의 유기과원에서 자생하는 다년생 초종을 조사하여 과수 생장을 위한 양분 공급원으로의 적합한 초생식물을 탐색하기 위하여 수행되었다. 과원에 발생한 초종은 4월과 6월 그리고 8월에 조사하였다. 4월과 6월에 각각 발생한 개밀과 큰개기장에서 가장 높은 건물중을 보였고, 이는 질소와 인산 칼리 고정량을 크게 증가시켰다. 8월에는 다년생초생 발생량이 4월과 6월에 비교하여 감소하였다. 예초된 개밀과 큰개기장의 초생 잔사량은 20년생의 과일나무가 생장하기 위해 필요한 연간 평균 질소(20kg/10a), 인산(11kg/10a), 그리고 칼리(19kg/10a) 수준을 충족시킨 것으로 관찰되었다.

  • Research was initiated to investigate a vegetation characteristics of the species of ground cover plants mixed with herbeceous and woody plants on a cut slope. 4 different ground cover plants (Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens, Pennisetum alopecuroides, Festuca arundinacea and Zoysia japonica) were seeded at the same rate of $10.0g/m^2$ with herbaceous plants (Lotus corniculatus var. japonicus, Dianthus sinensis, Aster yomena, Chrysanthemum zawadskii and Coreopsis drummondii L) at the total seeding rate of $7.5g/m^2$ and native woody plants (Lespedeza bicolor Turcz, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria and Albizzia julibrissin) at the total seeding rate of $7.5g/m^2$, respectively. This experiment was treated with 3 replications on a randomized block design. Data such as surface coverage rate(%), the germinating number, plant height and visual quality were analyzed. There were no statistic differences observed in the soil hardness and the soil moisture content while a significant difference was observed in the surface coverage rate and the germinating number. The surface coverage rate and the germinating number were significantly high in the Pennisetum alopecuroides plot when compared with the Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens plot, the Festuca arundinacea plot and the Zoysia japonica plot, respectively from the viewpoint of ground covers. Especially, the surface coverage rate was considerably low in the Festuca arundinacea plot. However, the surface coverage rate and the germinating number were no statistic differences observed in this treatment from the viewpoint of herbaceous and woody plants. Also, both of the plant height and visual quality were high in the Pennisetum alopecuroides plot when compared with the Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens plot, the Festuca arundinacea plot and the Zoysia japonica plot, respectively. We concluded that Pennisetum alopecuroides was the optimum plant from the treated ground covers mixed with native woody and herbaceous plants for the balanced emergence from the viewpoint of the ecological slope vegetation.

  • Nuclear-related facilities can be detrimentally affected by ground vibrations due to the collapse of adjacent cooling towers in nuclear power plants. To reduce this hazard risk, a design-oriented acceleration response spectrum (ARS) was proposed to predict the dynamic responses of nuclear-related facilities subjected to ground vibrations. For this purpose, 20 computational cases were performed based on cooling tower-soil numerical models developed in previous studies. This resulted in about 2664 ground vibration records to build a basic database and five complementary databases with consideration of primary factors that influence ground vibrations. Afterwards, these databases were applied to generate the design-oriented ARS using a response spectrum analysis approach. The proposed design-oriented ARS covers a wide range of natural periods up to 6 s and consists of an ascending portion, a plateau, and two connected descending portions. Spectral parameters were formulated based on statistical analysis. The spectrum was verified by comparing the representative acceleration magnitudes obtained from the design-oriented ARS with those from computational cases using cooling tower-soil numerical models with reasonable consistency.

  • In this paper a simple approach is presented for spectral matching of ground motions utilizing the wavelet transform and a recently developed metaheuristic optimization technique. For this purpose, wavelet transform is used to decompose the original ground motions to several levels, where each level covers a special range of frequency, and then each level is multiplied by a variable. Subsequently, the vibrating particles system (VPS) algorithm is employed to calculate the variables such that the error between the response and target spectra is minimized. The application of the proposed method is illustrated through modifying 12 sets of ground motions. The results achieved by this method demonstrate its capability in solving the problem. The outcomes of the VPS algorithm are compared to those of the standard colliding bodies optimization (CBO) to illustrate the importance of the enhancement of the algorithm.

  • 한국 자생 돌나물속 중 섬기린초는 상록성 식물로 중부 지방에서 겨울에 노지에서도 월동이 되므로 조경용 소재로 사용이 가능하였다. 섬기린초를 조경용 소재로 이용하기 위해 적심에 따른 생장특성을 조사하였다. 섬기린초의 적심작업에 따라 초장은 더욱 짧아져 조경용 지피식물로 사용하기 용이했으며, 신초지의 숫자는 늘어나는 경향이 나타났다. 2004년과 2005년에 실시한 연구에서 30% 적심처리를 한 섬기린초 처리구의 신초는 60% 적심처리를 한 처리구보다 초장은 더욱 길고 생장이 활발하였다. 노지에서 차광처리를 하지 않은 무처리구보다 70%의 차광처리를 한 섬기린초 처리구의 잎의 색은 진녹색이었고, 길이는 길어지고 신초의 수는 적게 되었다. 그러므로 기린초 종류 중 한국 자생식물인 섬기린초는 70%의 광을 차단하는 장소에도 식재 가능하며, 경기도 수원 지방에서 실험 결과, 내한성이 강한 편으로 중부지방에서도 상록성 조경 지피식물 소재로도 사용이 가능하다.

  • 본 연구는 중부지방에서 동절기간에 적용 가능한 상록지피식물의 이용을 확대하기 위하여 서로 다른 광조건에서의 생장변화를 조사하였다. Nandina domestica는 동절기 동안 광조건에 관계없이 음지에서 높은 엽록소값을 나타냈다. 이후 4월에는 서울의 반포지역에서 엽록소 값이 광조건에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았으나 북풍에 노출되어 있는 과천지역에서는 양지에서 현저히 감소하였으며 잎이 모두 낙엽 되었다. Ophiopogon japonicus는 지역에 관계없이 2월에 양지보다 음지에서 엽록소값이 두 배 이상의 높은 값을 나타냈으며 L과 b값도 조사기간 동안 음지조건에서 높게 나타났다. 4월에는 반포지역에서 광조건에 따른 차이가 없었으나 과천지역에서는 양지에서 동절기 동안 엽색이 탈색되었다. Pachysandra terminalis는 조사지역과 기간에 관계없이 음지조건에서 엽록소값과 L, b값이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 중부지방에서 상록지피식물을 이용하기 위해서는 음지조건의 조성이 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.

  • MODIS LAI product has been one of key variable for analyzing the quantitative aspects of terrestrial ecology at global scale. This study was designed to validate MODIS global LAI product for regional application. To examine the quality of MODIS LAI data, we developed a reference LAI surface that was derived by relating the ground LAI measurements to Landsat ETM+ reflectance. The study area, the Kwangneung Experiment Forest in Korea, covers mixed deciduous and coniferous species of temperate forest. Ground measurements of LAI were conducted at 30 sample plots by using a photo-optical instrument during the growing season of 2002. Ground measured LAI data were then related to the ETM+ reflectance to produce a continuous map of LAI surface over the study area. From the comparison between the MODIS LAI and the reference LAI, it was found that the MODIS LAI values were slightly higher at the forestland. Considering the limitations of producing the reference LAI surface and the uncertainty of the input variable for the MODIS LAI algorithm, such small discrepancy mal not be significant.

  • This is a study on a landscape planning along the street 1~4, which are gateways to Taegu city and an important scenery. Therefore, emphasis was given to provide a bright, clean and beautiful first impression to visitors and citizens. The area is being developed for education and athletic park. Plans to construct a fountain, pergolas and a pond were set up to complement the active and passive facilities to the existing a athletic facilities in the area. Since D part in the area have alkali soil (pH 8.1), soil amendment is necessary for successful growth of trees and ground covers. When the area is filled or added with new soil for soil amendment, it will be important to use fresh soil which can support plant growth. It will be ideal to use ground covers and shrubs on the existing retaining walls along the street for keeping natural vegetation and slope stability instead of further cutting and reconstruction. It is not reasonable in technical and economic sense to remove rocks of the slope for planting trees. In order to harmonize plant color distribute, tall needle and broad leaf trees in the background as a screen, flowering trees were arranged in groups at front, and annuals were mass-planted along the footway. Natural-form-trees will be planted because they not only serve as a greenbelt but also are more economics in maintenance than formative trees.
