  • Fisheries' biological resources were considered public resources before the 1990s. Every country could access and use these resources without regulation. However, the United Nations adopted the Convention on Biological Diversity and the privileges and rights to these resources were attributed to countries. This research starts with the research background and social and academic value of "The Jasan Eobo (or Report on Marine Organisms in the Coastal Waters near Heuksan Island)" by Jeong Yak-Jeon, who pioneered the new field of Fisheries Science and Marine Biology in Korea in the early 1800s. We also searched for recent results from the Marine Bio-Diversity Research Activities of the Korean National Council for Conservation of Nature (KNCCN) and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF). KNCCN reported that marine bio-diversity comprised approximately 6,500 species in 1996, and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries reported there were about 10,000 species in 2007. Among these marine species, plankton account for about 25%, seaweeds 11%, invertebrates 52%, and vertebrates 12% in Korean Coastal Areas. The Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MIFAFF) enacted a law for Agriculture and Fisheries Resources Management in 2012; this law includes the preservation of marine ecosystems, the conservation of wetlands and the preservation of fisheries resources, and describes the boundary of taxonomy for new species and unknown species that could be identified in the near future. To follow the new regulation for Access to General Resources and Benefit-Sharing, this research suggests (1) the importance of taxonomy for new species and unknown species as a goal of "No Name = No Information", (2) integrated research on bio-diversity, species distributions and the abundance of fisheries resources, both in local areas and in Korean Coastal Areas, and (3) the observance of international regulations or agreements for benefit-sharing without additional damage in the future.

  • The two major trends that have emerged in recent years in relation to disaster recovery and recovery are 'regional infrastructure', 'regional leadership' and 'community recovery'. In the former case, it is to avoid disaster recovery and recovery by using external personnel and resources, and to maximize the resources in the area under the initiative of the residents of the affected area. And through this process, it is to prepare a new growth engine for disaster-affected areas. In addition, the latter expands disaster recovery targets to the general population living in affected areas and is not limited to victims. Through this, we can expect to recover the 'community' beyond the individual's recovery. In the Ansan of Gyeonggi-do, where many families of 'Sewolho' live, and in the Heunghae-eup of Pohang, Gyeongbuk-do, where the damage was severe, projects are underway to restore communities. And In these areas local activists and civic groups are actively utilized to efforts are being made to increase efficiency. Nevertheless, in the case of the community recovery program being promoted in Korea, there are limitations that it can be promoted only on the basis of special laws and that participation of various actors is necessary. This study intends to propose the limitations of current projects and ways to solve them by analyzing domestic and foreign cases related to the community recovery program for disaster-affected communities using local resources. we suggest two way. One is the relaxation of the national dependence of the community recovery program, and the other is to expand the area of disaster relief through.

  • The selenium status of beef cattle in the southern part of Thailand and the selenium concentration of soil and herbage consumed by those animals were investigated. Samples were collected from three areas with different soil types, namely, sandy soil, peat soil and laterite soil. The selenium concentration of soil, herbage and blood plasma showed a similar tendency; the values of laterite soil were higher than those of the other two areas. However, the selenium concentration of herbage of each pasture was lower than the NRC requirement, and that of blood plasma was not in the sufficient level. These data suggested that beef cattle raised in these areas were in the chronic selenium deficiency. We concluded that selenium supplementation is needed for the increase of animal productivity in the southern part of Thailand.

  • In this study attempts were made to identify the areas of single animal ploughing (SAP) in Bangladesh, causes of its localization and the socio-economic constraints hindering the expansion of the system. To determine the areas of single animal ploughing, 123 upazilas of 15 districts were surveyed. Of them, 16 upazilas were found heavily engaged with this system. A detailed investigation of 469 SAP and 439 double animal ploughing (DAP) farmers revealed that there was significant difference between the two systems in respect of cost of production and yield per unit of land. The benefit/cost (B/C) ratio was higher in SAP system. However, no significant difference was observed in respect of time required for ploughing, intensity of cropping, cost of implements, and cost of repairing implements (except yoke). The study recommends for expansion of SAP system in areas where buffaloes are concentrated. Fro this purpose, logistic and institutional supports need to be made available.

  • This paper proposes a hierarchical roadmap (HRM) and its construction process to efficiently represent navigable areas in an indoor environment. HRM is adopted to solve the path-planning problems of mobile robots in indoor environments. HRM has a multi-layered graphical structure that enables it to abstract and cover navigable areas using a smaller number of nodes and edges than a probabilistic roadmap. During the incremental process of constructing HRM, information on navigable areas is abstracted using a sonar gridmap when the mobile robot navigates an unexplored area. The HRM-based planner efficiently searches for paths to answer queries by reducing the search space size using the multi-layered graphical structure. The benefits of the proposed HRM are experimentally verified in real indoor environments.

  • It is challenging work to predict weather and climate conditions of the future in advance. Since ENIAC was developed, weather and climate research areas have been taking advantage of the improvements in computer hardware. High performance computers allows researchers to build high quality models that allow them to make good predictions of what might happen in the future. Statistics on the high performance computers are one of the major interest to not only manufacturers but also the users such as weather and climate researchers. For this reason, the Top500 Supercomputer Sites Report has been being released twice a year since 1993 to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high performance computing. Using the Top500 Report, a short review on the supercomputer trends in weather and climate research areas is provided in this article.

  • This study has identified human performance research issues associated with the implementation of new technology in nuclear power plants (NPPs). To identify the research issues, current industry developments and trends were evaluated in the areas of reactor technology, instrumentation and control technology, human-system integration technology, and human factors engineering (HFE) methods and tools. The issues were prioritized into four categories based on evaluations provided by 14 independent subject matter experts representing vendors, utilities, research organizations and regulators. Twenty issues were categorized into the top priority category. The study also identifies the priority of each issue and the rationale for those in the top priority category. The top priority issues were then organized into research program areas of: New Concepts of Operation using Multi-agent Teams, Human-system Interface Design, Complexity Issues in Advanced Systems, Operating Experience of New and Modernized Plants, and HFE Methods and Tools. The results can serve as input to the development of a long-term strategy and plan for addressing human performance in these areas to support the safe operation of new NPPs.

  • 본 연구는 위성영상 기반의 열 분포도 및 폭염을 심화시키는 요인 간의 공간적 상관성을 분석하여 열 집중지역과 향후 폭염 위험이 증가할 수 있는 공간의 탐색을 목적으로 수행되었다. 열 집중지역과 폭염 심화요인의 인구, 토지이용, 건축물 각각의 전역적 Moran's I는 높게 나타나 특정 공간에 집중하는 것으로 나타났다. 국지적 Moran's I 분석 결과로, 열 집중지역은 수도권 및 광역시 등 대도시에서 주로 나타났고 상대적으로 온도가 낮은 지역은 산림지역이 우세한 강원도 및 경상북도, 소백산맥 지역에서 집중적으로 나타났다. 인구증가율이 높은 지역은 서울 주변의 경기도, 대전, 부산 인근지역에서 군집 분포하였으며 토지이용과 건축물은 수도권과 대도시에 집중하는 유사한 공간 패턴을 보였다. Bivariate Local Moran's I 분석결과는 열이 집중된 지역에서 인구증가율이 높고, 인공적·도시적 건축환경 및 토지이용이 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 열 집중지역의 순위를 도출할 수 있으며 전국적으로 열이 집중되고 이를 심화시킬 수 있는 환경을 가진 지역을 탐색할 수 있으므로 궁극적으로 선제적 폭염 대응대책 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 전국 65개 산림지역 조사지를 대상으로 장기확산형 패시브샘플러를 이용하여 1993년에서 2008년까지 월별 이산화황 ($SO_2$) 농도를 측정하고 도시지역과 비교하여 산림지역에서의 이산화황 농도의 시간적 및 공간적 분포 특성을 구명하였다. 산림 내 이산화황 ($SO_2$)의 연평균 농도는 관측 시작년도부터 점차 낮아지다가 1997년 이후에는 뚜렷한 변화가 없었으며, 이는 환경부의 도시지역의 연도별 농도 변화와도 같은 경향이었다. 조사기간 동안 전체 산림지역 조사지의 연평균 이산화황 농도는 5.6 ppb로 환경부의 도시지역 평균치 (10.1 ppb)와 EC (1999)의 생태적 위해 기준치 (7.6 ppb)에 비해 낮은 수준이었다. 계절별로는 산림지역과 도시지역 모두에서 난방 연료 사용량이 많은 겨울과 봄에 농도가 높았으며 강우와 고온의 영향이 큰 여름에 낮게 나타났다. 지역별로는 다른 지역에 비해 경북과 경기지역에서 이산화황 연평균 농도가 높게 나타났다. 황산화물 배출량과 이산화황 농도 간에 유의적인 정의 상관성이 나타남에 따라 황산화물 배출원의 규모와 근접성이 대기 중 이산화황의 농도를 결정짓는 중요한 인자임을 반영하였다.
