Considering the randomness and uncertainty of wind power, a reliability model of WTGs is established based on the combination of the Weibull distribution and the Markov chain. To analyze the failure mode quickly, we use the switch-section partitioning method. After defining the first-level load zone node, we can obtain the supply power sets of the first-level load zone nodes with each WTG. Based on the supply sets, we propose the dynamic division strategy of island operation. By adopting the fault analysis method with the attributes defined in the switch-section, we evaluate the reliability of the distribution network with WTGs using a sequential Monte Carlo simulation method. Finally, using the IEEE RBTS Bus6 test system, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed model and method by comparing different schemes to access the WTGs.

This paper presents voltage and frequency control methods for a stand-alone Gasa Island Microgrid in South Korea that can be fully energized by renewable energy resources such as photovoltaic systems and wind turbines. To mitigate the variations of the output of renewable energy resources and supply more reliable electricity to customers, battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are employed in the stand-alone microgrid. The coordination between BESSs and pre-existing diesel generators is an important issue to manage the microgrid more securely. This paper presents voltage and frequency control schemes considering the coordination of BESSs and DGs. The effectiveness for the operating method is validated via simulation studies.

The initial growth mode of Nb on Ag(11) in sub-monolayer regime and the influence of subsequent 520K annealing are studied using UHV Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. E-beam evaporated Nb is deposited onto the substrate at RT, and STM measurements are carried out at RT and 78 K. With Nb being immiscible in bulk Ag, 3D islands formation begins at early stage and no particular ordered structure is found. After annealing to 520K, most of islands are disappeared from terrace. There exist 2 possibilities. : (1) Diffusion of Nb into the 2nd or 3rd layer of Ag substrate or (2) agglomeration of Nb on Ag at higher temperature. A model will be given to explain the evidence. In addition, we investigated the change of STM image according to bias voltage depending on island size. Possible physical mechanism responsible for such behavior together with interaction between Nb islands and reactive gases will be also discussed.

In this paper, we have developed a module that prevents a driver from using mobile phone while driving. The module is equipped with a vibration sensor to determine if the vehicle is running, a BLE module to transmit the status of the module and a speaker to transmit audible/unaudible sound to the mobile terminal where GUI application is installed. If the vehicle is judged to be moving, the application is activated and the touch function of the mobile phone is blocked. Other data are also transmitted depending on the state of the module, which informs forced module removal, battery failure, or sleep mode of the module.

The size fractionated atmospheric aerosols have been collected at Gosan site of Jeju Island during 2010~2011, and then their characteristics of acidification and neutralization have been investigated. The anthropogenic $NH_4{^+}$ and nss-$SO_4{^{2-}}$ showed high concentrations mostly at ultra-fine particle mode of $0.7{\sim}1.1{\mu}m$, but they also had a bimodal distribution showing high concentrations at coarse particle mode of $4.7{\sim}5.8{\mu}m$ during Asian Dust periods. The concentrations of nss-$Ca^{2+}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ were relatively high at coarse particle mode of $3.3{\sim}4.7{\mu}m$, especially $NO_3{^-}$ showed high concentrations with a bimodal pattern at both fine and coarse particle modes. The acidification of atmospheric aerosols at Gosan area was contributed mostly by inorganic sulfuric and nitric acids, while the contribution by organic formic and acetic acids was only 1.6~6.4%. Furthermore, the neutralization of acidic species among atmospheric aerosols was performed mostly by $NH_3$, $CaCO_3$ and $MgCO_3$, especially the neutralization by $NH_3$ was high in fine particle mode, while that by $CaCO_3$ was relatively high in coarse particle mode.

A series of long wave measurements was made in the region of Shikotan Island (the South Kuril Islands) during 1990-1992: 7 bottom pressure stations were installed in 5 bays and inlets of Shikotan and 3 precise microbarographs were situated at the shore. The observations were taken in order to monitor tsunami waves, estimate resonance features of coastal topography, and investigate seiche generation mechanism. It was found that forced long waves dominate in the motions with periods exceeding 2 hours, freely propagating long waves prevail at periods of 30-120 min and eigen-oscillations of bays (seiches) are the predominant type of long waves at periods less than 30 min. The Helmholtz mode with period 30 min in Krabovaya Bay and 18.5 min in Malokurilskaya Bay is the most important type of wave motion in the inner Shikotan basins. There is a good correlation between passages of atmospheric disturbances and generation of seiches near the coast of Shikotan Island. In particular, jumps in atmospheric pressure excite seiches in different bays simultaneously, in each one with the corresponding dominant period. The atmospheric spectra were remarkably smooth and stable, and could be described by a $\omega$$^{-2}$26/ power law.

The role of rural towns as a leisure space has recently been increasing with changes in the consumption trends in domestic tourism. Based on the tourists visiting the town of Sunheul-ri, Jocheon-eup, a rural Village in Jeju Island, this study categorized the market according to the images formed by the tourists of rural towns, and analyzed the preferred mode of participation in rural field activities for each category. We analyzed the characteristic factors of the images of rural tourism formed by the tourists, extracted three factors for cluster analysis, and then formed three groups: "Group of Rural Experience Activity" "Group of Rural Environment and Service" and "Group of Rest in the Rural" After analyzing the preferred activity in each image-category group, we found no significant differences among the groups in ordinary activities such as viewing the scenery, experiencing and learning about the natural environment, and culinary experiences. However, there were significant differences among the groups regarding participation in experiential tour programs with the purpose of active tourism. The "Group of Rural Experience Activity" sought to actively participate in various activity programs, whereas the "Group of Rest in the Rural" comparatively had a weaker preference for such active programs. We thus learnt that tourists' preferred activities are different according to the types of images formed by the tourists visiting rural towns. Therefore, to strengthen the competitive advantage of the rural tourist destinations of Jeju Island, it is necessary to provide various activity programs that are appropriate for the rural regions of Jeju and to accord with the expectations associated with each market segment category by positioning the programs according to the characteristics of the images held by the tourists.

The atmospheric aerosols of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ were collected at Gosan site of Jeju Island during 2012- 2013. Their ionic and elemental species were analyzed in order to examine the composition variation of the haze aerosols in accordance with the pathway of air mass. The concentrations of $nss-SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NO_3{^-}$, and $NH_4{^+}$ increased 2.1~3.7 times in coarse particle and 3.1~6.5 times in fine particle modes, respectively, showing especially high $NO_3{^-}$ concentrations in fine particles during the haze days. The concentrations of S, Zn, Pb and K increased 3.0~5.6 times in coarse particles and 3.2~7.7 times in fine particles during the haze days, on the other hand Al, Fe, and Ca concentrations were high only in coarse particles. Due to the back trajectory analysis, the concentrations of $nss-SO_4{^{2-}}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ for haze days were high when the inflow pathway of air mass was from China, especially a high increase of $NO_3{^-}$ as through the south of China. The $NO_3{^-}/nss-SO_4{^{2-}}$ concentration ratio was relatively high in coarse mode as air mass inflow from China, but in fine mode it was high as air mass passing through the Korean peninsula.

The distribution of stock density and larvae of Atrina pectinata was examined in Deukryang Bay. Sampling of adult stock was seasonally conducted from 29 stations in the bay in May, August, and November 1995 and February 1996. And the larvae were sampled with interval of 3 to 7 days from 12 stations from July to October 1996. Seasonal abundance of the adult in number and in biomass were the highest in August ($18\;inds./m^2$) and in November ($2,790\;g/m^2$), respectively, at G1 station located in the most inner bay. In frequency distribution of shell height, the mode in May appeared in 10-14 cm group with 62%, and that of the other seasons in $15{\sim}19\;cm$ group. The larvae were also distributed mainly at G1 as the adult were. The larval abundance showed a periodical cycle which seemed to be related to lunar cycle. The highest abundance of the larvae occurred on August 16 with $8\;inds./m^3$, and then decreased continuously. With regard to frequency distribution of larval shell height, the larvae less than $200\;{\mu}m$ occurred from July to October. And the mode in July appeared in small size group ($200{\sim}249\;{\mu}m$) with 38%. These results mean that A. pectinata spawned from July to October, mainly middle July to middle August. The larval distribution showed the same geographical tendency to adult distribution. Both the adult and the larvae mainly distributed in the most inner bay and west area of Deukryang island, where was shallower, warmer, and higher primary productivity than the entrance area of the bay and east area of the island. However, larval abundance of A. pectinata in this study was so low compared to adult biomass. The reason for this unusual phenomenon should be understood with the detail research in future.
