We analyzed the monthly and seasonal mean of the daily Erythemal Ultraviolet-B (EUV-B, $280{\sim}320nm$) irradiance operating in Pohang, Anmyeon, Gosan, Mokpo and Kangnung with UV-Biometer (Solar Light Co., Model No. 501) at clear-sky noon during the period from 1999 to 2004. Also, we investigated the seasonal and regional characteristics for the UV index over the Korean Peninsula. The daily maximum occurred near solar southing time and the highest monthly accumulated EUV-B irradiance appeared in July and August at each regional observatory. The monthly mean value of the clear-sky EUV-B irradiance in Pohang, Anmyeon, Gosan, Mokpo and Kangnung showed 196.6, 161.8, 221.9, $171.5mWm^{-2}\;and\;179.7mWm^{-2}$ near noon in July respectively. The annual mean value of the daily accumulated EUV-B irradiance in Pohang, Anmyeon, Gosan, Mokpo and Kangnung were 1.8, 2.1, 2.2, $1.8kJm^{-2}\;and\;1.5kJm^{-2}$ respectively. The UV Index (UVI) showed above UVI 7(High) more than 90 days during one year over the Korean Peninsula.

The Pohang Light Source (PLS) is a third generation 2 GeV synchrotron machine. An injection kicker modulator is positioned in the PLS storage ring tunnel. The kicker modulator is driving four kicker magnets simultaneously. The kicker magnets produce magnetic field to deflect the stored beam orbit in the storage ring closer to the injected beam from the PLS beam transfer line. The injected beam then falls into the storage ring beam dynamic aperture. The current kicker modulator was upgraded and installed on August 1995. Since then, the kicker modulator has shown very reliable and stable performance. The kicker modulator specifications are ${\sim}6.0{\mu}s$ full width, ${\sim}24$ kA peak current, and 10 Hz repetition rate. Output current waveform is a half sinusoid. Two thyratron switches(EEV CX-1536AX) are used in the kicker modulator. Total accumulated thyratron heater run hour is about 15,000 hours as of May 1998. Measurement result of spatial magnetic field distribution in the kicker magnet shows good uniformity.

$CO_2$ uptake of vegetation is one of the important variables in order to estimate photosynthetic activity, plant growth and carbon budget estimations. The objective of this research was to develop a new estimation method of $CO_2$ uptake of vegetation based on airborne hyperspectral remote sensing measurements in combination with a photosynthetic rate curve model. In this study, a compact airborne spectrographic imager (CASI) was used to obtain image over a field that had been set up to study the $CO_2$ uptake of corn on August 7, 2002. Also, a field survey was conducted concurrently with the CASI overpass. As a field survey, chlorophyll a content, photosynthetic rate curve, Leaf area, dry biomass and light condition were measured. The developed estimation method for $CO_2$ uptake consists of three major parts: a linear mixture model, an enhanced big leaf model and a photosynthetic rate curve model. The Accuracy of this scheme indicates that $CO_2$ uptake of vegetation could be estimated by using airborne hyperspectral remote sensing data in combination with a physiological model.

For the improvement of nursery condition and the study of eco-physiological characteristics of Pinus koraiensis(2-2) seedlings, the primary productivity was investigated and the growth characteristics and their correlationship were analyzed from May to September in 1987. Seedlings used in this study were grown at the nursery of Experimental Forestry of Kyung Hee Univ. The installation of experimental plots were divided into control plot (100%), 63%, 37% and 19% relative light intensity, and each relative light intensity plots were split into $15{\times}15/m^2$, $12{\times}12/m^2$, $9{\times}9/m^2$ and $6{\times}6/m^2$ plnting density by randomized black design method. To take into account the edge effect of plant population, material were selected from each plot by random sampling at 30 days interval. Each sampled material was divided into leaf and stem drived in a drying oven at the temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ until it had constant weight and weighed. and leaf area was surveyed. Growth analysis for RGR and NAR was done by Blackman method and correlation coefficient were investigated between RGR and NAR by analyzing the dry matter production and growth characteristics of the material, cultivated on the experimental nursery under the condition of different treatment the obtained result were as follows : 1. The increasing rate of dry matter was similar at early stage of growth, but not at late stage. 2. Leaf area growth was the maximum value at 63% relative light intensity and the minimum at 19% RLI 3. The value of RGR was the highest on June under $6{\times}6/m^2$ planting density in 63% relative light intensity, the lowest on September under $12{\times}12/m^2$ of 19% relative light intensity. 4. The change NAR decreased in early stage of growth, while it increased on August and September, The value of RGR on June under $6{\times}6/m^2$ planting density in 100 light intensity was the highest, and on September under $12{\times}12/m^2$ planting density in 19% relative light intensity was the lowest. 5. Regression and correlation between RGR and NAR showed significantly positive.

Fabrication of human powered aircraft and flight test procedure for pilot training are included in this paper. To meet the weight requirement, very light materials such as carbon fiber and PVC foam are used and the final weight was 41.5kg. Ninety two times of flight test were done at Goheung Aviation Test Center from August to September 2012. When KARI were lack of know-how about human powered aircraft, damages on the aircraft were very frequent. After knowing how to fly and to control, one of two pilots was finally successful in flying further to 240m in the Human Powered Aircraft Contest.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of planting position on the growth characteristics, yield and ginsenoside content in Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer at different growth stages. Referring to shoot growth characteristics, stem length, stem diameter and leave area were higher at front than rear, increasing as the proceeding of growth stages. But a lower chlorophyll contents was caused at front compared to rear and decreased as the proceeding of growth stages contrarily. According to root characteristics, root length and main body length were higher at front, with a positive correlation to growth stages, which was also shown on fresh root weight and dry root weight with the maximum in August. Meanwhile, the effect of planting position on ginsenoside content could also be definite by the highest content at front showing high light intensity, increasing as the proceeding of growth stages as well.

Positions of five drifting buoys deployed on August 2020 near southwestern area of Jeju Island and numerically predicted velocities were used to develop five Artificial Intelligence-based models (AI models) for the prediction of particle tracks. Five AI models consisted of three machine learning models (Extra Trees, LightGBM, and Support Vector Machine) and two deep learning models (DNN and RBFN). To evaluate the prediction accuracy for six models, the predicted positions from five AI models and one numerical model were compared with the observed positions from five drifting buoys. Three skills (MAE, RMSE, and NCLS) for the five buoys and their averaged values were calculated. DNN model showed the best prediction accuracy in MAE, RMSE, and NCLS.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) plans to develop a coronagraph to measure the coronal electron density, temperature, and speed using four different filters around 400 nm, where strong Fraunhofer lines from the photosphere are scattered by coronal electrons. During the total solar eclipse occurring on August 21 across USA, KASI will organize an expedition team to demonstrate the coronagraph measurement scheme and the instrumental technology. The observation site is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA. We plan to build two coronagraphs without occulter to improve signal to noise ratio. In addition, images of white light corona, wide field background, and all sky are planned to be taken with DSLR cameras. We will present the preliminary results of the expedition.

The age and growth of jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus caught by large purse seine fishery were studied during August 2004 and May 2005. Otoliths of 472 fish were observed under reflected light, and translucent zones made on the post-rostrum axis were regarded as annual marks. Monthly changes in the marginal index indicated that the translucent zone was formed once a year, mainly in March-April, which was coincident with the peak spawning time of jack mackerel. The estimated ages were 0-6 years, corresponding to a fork length (FL) range of 13 to 38 cm. Most obtained individuals were 2-year-old fish, followed by 1-year-old fish. The mean fork length at age from otolith reading (sex combined) was applied to the von Bertalanffy equation and growth parameters were estimated: L_∞ = 38.29 cm FL, k = 0.31 years⁻¹, t₀ = −0.81 years.

Low resolution spectra of Nova Delphini 2013 (V339 Del) in the optical range have been obtained at Bosscha Observatory, Indonesia during its maximum light (V = 4.3). Spectra were observed from August 16 to 27, 2013. The GAO-ITB RTS 20.3 cm telescope, and SBIG DSS-7 spectrograph and SBIG ST-7 XE as the detector have been employed throughout the observations. The spectra show P-Cygni profiles in Balmer, NaI'D' and Fe II lines, from which we determined shell expansion velocities of $1421.66{\pm}39.18km/s$, $1227.54{\pm}21.57km/s$ and 1402.86 km/s, respectively. Our spectroscopic observations followed the spectral evolution of V339 Del from the pre-maximum phase to early Orion phase. The characteristics of the nova Delphini 2013 resembles those of Fe II-type novae.
