The purpose of this paper is to estimate the instream flow of the South Han River Basin to ensure an adequate supply of suitable quality of water for preservation and enhancement of aquatic ecosystems. Proposed methods is Physical Habitant Simulation System of Instream Flow Incremental Methodology. Accurate estimation on a water depth and a velocity distribution was acquired by applying a two dimensional hydrodynamic model for a simulation of a hydraulic parameter necessary for the habitat evaluation to be used in a physical habitat simulation system. The Habitat Suitability Criteria with the application of univariate curve on zacco platypus as a representative fish was able to be established by conducting a field investigation. The establishment of a hydrological materialistic balance between upper and lower streams was confirmed by conducting a simulation simultaneously together with a mainstream section, which was excluded from the considered sections for the inhabitation evaluation of fish.

Most countries worldwide are finding it difficult to make decisions regarding the utilization of water resources and the ecological flow protection of rivers because of serious water shortages and global climate warming. To overcome this difficulty, accurate ecological flow processes and protected ecological objectives are required. Since the introduction of the concept, ecological flow calculations have been developed for more than 60 years. This technical development has always been dominated by countries such as the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The technical applications, however, vary substantially worldwide. Some countries, for instance, did not readjust the method because of a lack of understanding of the ecological effect or because they failed to achieve elaborate scheduling. Mostly, readjustments were not made because the users could not make their choices from among numerous methods for ecological flow. This paper presents three research results based on a systematic review of 240 methods with clear connotation boundaries. First, the ecological flow algorithm was developed along with the scientific and technological progress in the river ecosystem theory, ecohydrological relationship, and characterization and simulation of hydrological and hydrodynamic processes. In addition, the basis of the method has evolved from the hydrological process of the ecosystem, hydraulics-habitat conditions, and social development interference to whole ecosystem simulation. Second, 240 methods were classified into 50 sub-categories to evaluate their advantages and disadvantages according to the ecological flow algorithms of hydrology, hydraulics, habitat, and other comprehensive methods. According to this evaluation, 60% of the methods were not suitable for further application, including the method based on the percentage of natural runoff. Furthermore, the applicability of the remaining methods was presented according to the evaluation based on the aspects of allocation of water resources, water conservancy project scheduling, and river ecological evaluation. Third, In the future, most developing countries should strengthen the guarantee of high-standard ecological flow via a coordination mechanism for the ecological flow guarantee established under a sustainable framework or via an ecological protection pattern at the national level according to the national system. Concurrently, a reliable ecological flow demand process should also be established on the basis of detailed investigation and research on the relationship between river habitats, ecological hydrology, and ecological hydraulics. This will ensure that the real-time evaluation of ecological flow forces the water conservancy project scheduling and accurate allocation of water.

The greenhouse effect caused by human activities is becoming increasingly serious. The building industry, which is directly related with carbon emissions, has the responsibility and potentiality to reduce carbon emissions. Recently, Chinese and foreign academics have achieved some research results with respect to building carbon emissions. This paper tries to examine these issues in the context of climate conditions in the Shanghai area. Based on the typical floor plans of high-rise office buildings, analysis was performed via software simulation and data analysis; the paper explores the relationship between different design methods of typical floor plans and carbon emissions. The objective is to deliver results beneficial to typical floor-design methods with respect to the reduction of carbon emissions, so as to provide a reference for architects.

서식지적합도지수(Habitat Suitability Index, HSI)는 어류의 환경생태유량(Environmental Ecological Flow) 산정과 관련해 국내외에서 PHABSIM (Physical Habitat Simulation System)이나 River2D 모형과 같은 생태수리 모형에 적용되고 있으며, 특히 물리적서식지모의시스템은 흐름특성(유량유속, 수심 등)의 변화에 대한 하도구간 내 대표어종의 물리적 서식지 변화를 예측하여 대상 어종에 대한 가용서식지면적(어류가 살 수 있는 서식지 면적, Weighed Usable Area, WUA)유량 관계를 통해 서식에 필요한 최적 유량을 산정하는 데 목적이 있다. 물리적 서식지적합도지수 산정과 화학적 서식지적합도지수 산정방법은 WDFW (Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, 2004)방법과 IFASG (Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group, 1986)의 방법으로 산정하였다. 섬진강에서 2020년에는 3개지점, 2021년에는 2020년 3개지점과 새로운 3개지점에 대하여 각각 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 및 11월에 어류 조사 및 물리적 조건 등에 대하여 현장 모니터링을 실시하였다. 2차년도 동안 모니터링 결과 섬진강에서는 줄납자루, 섬진자가사리, 참중고기, 참몰개, 잉어, 붕어, 칼납자루, 큰납지리, 누치, 모래무지, 피라미, 치리, 블루길, 배스 14종에 대하여 물리적 및 화학적 HSI를 산정하였다. 주요종의 WDFW 방법에 따른 큰줄납자루는 수심 0.3~0.6 m, 유속 0.1~0.4 m/s, 섬진자가사리는 수심 0.2~0.5 m, 유속 0.3~0.7 m/s, 참중고기는 수심 0.4~0.8 m, 유속 0.1~0.6 m/s, 피라미는 수심 0.3~0.7 m, 유속 0.1~0.5 m/s로 산정되었다. IFASG 방법으로 큰줄납자루는 섬진강에서는 수심 0.64 m에서 최대의 출현도를 보였으며, HSI는 0.46~0.83 m, 유속은 0.59 m/s에서 최대의 출현도를 보였고, HSI는 0.38~0.83 m/s, 하상기질의 선호도는 평균입경(𝚽m) -1.14(grevel)에서 최대의 출현도를 보였으며, HSI -3.35~0.65(grevel~sand)로 산정되었다. 화학적 HSI 산정결과 큰줄납자루는 BOD는 1.0 mg/L에서 최대 출현도를 보였고, HSI는 0.7~1.2 mg/L, T-N은 0.925 mg/L에서 최대 출현도를 보이며 HSI는 0.604~1.277 mg/L, T-P는 0.028 mg/L에서 최대 출현도를 보이며 HSI는 0.021~0.034 mg/L, SS는 3.6 mg/L에서 최대 출현도를 보이며, HSI는 2.1~5.2 mg/L의 범위로 산정되었다. 산정된 범위는 환경부 생활환경기준 BOD 매우좋음(Ia)~좋음(Ib), T-P 매우좋음(Ia)~좋음(Ib) 등급으로 각각 확인되었다. 본 과제는 3차년(2022년)이 아직 남아 있어 HSI에 대하여 약간 보정이 있을 것이며, 최종 HSI가 산정이 되면 향후 환경적 기능을 고려한 중장기 정부 정책의 활용성 높은 기초자료가 될 것이다.

The indoor environments in high-rise buildings are generally well enclosed by defined boundary conditions. Here, a numerical simulation method based on the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which aims to model and simulate the turbulent flow accurately in an enclosed environment, and its comparison with traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results, are presented in this paper. CFD has become a powerful tool for predicting and evaluating enclosed airflows with the rapid advance in computer capacity and speed, and various types of CFD turbulence modeling and its application and validation have been reported. The LBM is a relatively new method; it involves solving of the discrete Boltzmann equation to simulate the fluid flow with a collision model instead of solving Navier-Stokes equations. In this study, the LBM-based scheme of flow pattern and particle dispersion analyses are validated using the benchmark test case of two- and three-dimensional and isothermal conditions (IEA/Annex 20 case); the prediction accuracy and advantages are also discussed by comparison with the results of CFD.

Imported ornamental fish should be quarantined because they can have dangerous diseases depending on their habitat. The quarantine requires a lot of time because quarantine officers collect various information on the imported ornamental fish. Inefficient quarantine processes reduce its work efficiency and accuracy. Also, long-time quarantine causes the death of environmentally sensitive ornamental fish and huge financial losses. To improve existing quarantine systems, information on ornamental fish was collected and structured, and a server was established to develop quarantine performance support software equipped with a text search engine. However, the long names of ornamental fish in general can cause many typos and time bottlenecks when we type search words for the target fish information. Therefore, we need a technique that can correct typos. Typical typo character calibration compares input text with all characters in a calibrated candidate text dictionary. However, this approach requires computational power proportional to the number of typos, resulting in slow processing time and low calibration accuracy performance. Therefore, to improve the calibration accuracy of characters, we propose a fusion system of simple Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models and character preprocessing methods that accelerate the process by minimizing the computation of the models. We also propose a typo character generation method used for training the ANN models. Simulation results show that the proposed typo character correction system is about 6 times faster than the conventional method and has 10% higher accuracy.
