In this study, frequency analysis using drought index had implemented for the derivation of drought severity-duration-frequency (SDF) curves to enable quantitative evaluations of past historical droughts having been occurred in Korean Peninsular. Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, and Busan weather stations were selected and precipitation data during 1974~2010 (37 years) was used for the calculation of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and frequency analysis. Based on the results of goodness of fit test on the probability distribution, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) was selected as most suitable probability distribution for the drought frequency analysis using SPI. This study can suggest return periods for historical major drought events by using newrly derived SDF curves for each stations. In case of 1994~1995 droughts which had focused on southern part of Korea. SDF curves of Gwangju weather station showed 50~100 years of return period and Busan station showed 100~200 years of return period. Besides, in case of 1988~1989 droughts, SDF of Seoul weather station were appeared as having return periods of 300 years.

기후변화로 인하여 극한 홍수와 극한 가뭄 발생이 증가할 것으로 전망하고 있어 이에 대한 위험이 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 홍수 및 가뭄 수문시계열의 빈도해석시에 일반적으로 활용되는 정상성 빈도해석기법은 수문자료의 정상성을 기반으로 한 빈도해석이 대부분이기 때문에 기후변화 및 수문자료의 비정상성을 반영한 새로운 빈도해석 기법이 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 5개의 대표 관측지점(서울, 포항, 추풍령, 여수, 광주)를 선별하고 1976년부터 2015년까지 일강우자료를 활용하여 기상학적 가뭄지수인 SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index)를 산정하였다. 산정한 SPI의 경향성을 Mann-Kendall 분석을 하였으며, 정상성 및 비정상성 빈도해석을 위하여 최적확률분포로 선정된 GEV 분포 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄빈도해석을 위하여 SPI를 입력자료로 활용하였으며, 산정된 SPI의 비정상성을 반영한 비정상성 빈도해석의 경우 Bayesian 모형을 기반으로 한 MCMC(Markov Chain Monte Carlo) 모의를 이용하여 극치분포의 사후분포 매개변수를 추정하였다. 추정 값을 바탕으로 하여 가뭄의 관측소별 빈도해석을 실시하였고 재현기간별-지속기간별 가뭄심도를 추정하여 관측소별 가뭄심도-지속기간-빈도(SDF,Severity-Duration-Frequency) 곡선을 유도하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 정상성과 비정상성 빈도해석 결과의 비교연구를 수행하였으며 기후변화에 따른 비정상 시계열로 구성된 가뭄빈도해석에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, drought of North Korea are analyzed using drought index. 27 weather stations are selected and monthly precipitation and average temperature data are collected for drought analysis. SC-PDSI is used for drought analysis and calculated using collected weather data during 1984~2013 (30 years) in 27 weather stations. From the analysis result of historical drought event using drought index, it is confirmed that severe droughts occurred in the early and mid 2000's at most stations. Secondly, drought frequency analysis was carried out for the derivation of drought severity-duration-frequency (SDF) curves to enable quantitative evaluations of past historical droughts having been occurred in 6 stations (Pyeongyang, Hamheung, Cheongjin, Wonsan, Haeju, Sinuiju). This study can suggest return periods for historical major drought events by using derived SDF curves for each station. In the result, drought events in the early and mid 2000's had return periods of 20~50 years.

This paper presents an automatic inspection of defects in semiconductor images. We devise a statistical method to find defects on homogeneous background from the observation that it has a log-normal distribution. If computer aided design (CAD) data is available, we use it to construct a signed distance function (SDF) and change the pixel values so that the average of pixel values along the level curve of the SDF is zero, so that the image has a homogeneous background. In the absence of CAD data, we devise a hybrid method consisting of a model-based algorithm and two neural networks. The model-based algorithm uses the first right singular vector to determine whether the image has a linear or complex structure. For an image with a linear structure, we remove the structure using the rank 1 approximation so that it has a homogeneous background. An image with a complex structure is inspected by two neural networks. We provide results of numerical experiments for the proposed methods.

In this study, spatio-temporal distribution of future drought in South Korea was predicted by using the meteorological data generated from GCMs on which a variety of climate changing scenarios are applied. Drought phenomena was quantitatively analyzed using SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index). In addition, potential drought hazard maps for different drought duration and return period were made for the South Koreaby drought frequency analysis after deriving SDF(Severity-Duration-Frequency) curves using the 54 weather stations throughout the country. From the potential drought hazard maps, drought is expected to be severer in Nakdong River basin and Seomjin River basin under A2 scenario. It was also predicted that drought would be severe in the Han River basin by RCP8.5 scenario. In the future, potential drought hazard area would be expanded until the Eastern part of Nakdong River basin as compared with that of past under A2 scenario condition. Research results indicated that future drought would be extensively occurred all areas of South Korea not limiting in the southern part of country.

In this study, it was intended to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of historical drought events occurred in Korea by way of drought frequency analysis using SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), and Drought spell was executed to estimate drought frequency as per drought severity and regions. Also, SDF (severity-duration-frequency) curves were prepared per each weather stations to estimate spatial distribution characteristics for the severe drought areas of Korea, and Potential Drought Hazard Map was prepared based on the derived SDF curves. Drought frequency analysis per drought stage revealed that severe drought as well as extreme drought frequency were prominently high at Geum River, Nakdong River, and Seomjin River basin as can be seen from SDF curves, and drought severity was found as severer per each drought return period in the data located at Geum River, Nakdong River, and Seomjin River basins as compared with that of Seoul weather station at Han River basin. In the Potential Drought Hazard Map, it showed that Geum River, Seomjin River, and Yeongsan River basins were drought vulnerable areas as compared to upper streams of Nakdong River basin and Han River basin, and showed similar result in drought frequency per drought stage. Drought was occurred frequently during spring seasons with tendency of frequent short drought spell as indicated in Potential Drought Hazard Map of different season.

In this study, the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, E. coli, total coliform and S. aureus of seasoned dried fishes (SDF) in Korea were investigated. A total of 81 SDF samples were purchased randomly from 28 stores. Contamination range of total aerobic bacteria, total coliform and S. aureus were 150~1,700,000, 10~31,000 and 10~220 CFU/g, respectively. E. coli was detected in only one samples in the qualitative test. We have analyzed quantitatively Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE-type A, C and D) produced by S. aureus contaminated in SDF using a TECRA kit and standard curve. The curve equation was Y = 0.1499 * X + 0.1183 and maximum amount of SEs in SDF was 0.71 ng/ml. Reduction speed of S. aureus in SDF stored at $37^{\circ}C$ was the highest among the samples stored for 8 days at different temperature of 7, 18 and $37^{\circ}C$. On the basis of the results, SDF in Korea can be contaminated by a variety of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, precautionary measures are necessary for consumer protection, including the improvement of sanitary conditions in the processing plants in Korea.

최근 들어, 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인해 홍수와 가뭄 등과 같은 자연재해가 과거에 비해 빈번히 발생되고 있으며 그로인한 수많은 인명 및 재산피해가 나타나고 있다. 특히, 가뭄의 경우 홍수 등 여타의 수문학적 재해에 비해 서서히 장기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발하고 있는데 미국해양기상청(NOAA)에서 선정한 20세기 최대의 자연재해 중 상위 5위안에 4개의 가뭄이 기록될 정도로 그 피해가 심각한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 우리나라 역시 5년에 한번 꼴로 심한가뭄이 발생하는 등 가뭄의 발생주기가 점차 짧아지고 있어 이에 대한 대비가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 가뭄지수를 이용한 통계학적 분석을 통해 과거가뭄사상을 정량적으로 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 관측자료의 신뢰성이 확보되어 있는 기상청 산하 59개 기상관측소를 대상으로 하였으며 1976~2010년(35년)의 자료를 이용하여 SPI(6)를 산정하였다. 분석방법으로는 한반도 가뭄의 발생빈도를 추정하기 위하여 Drought Spell 분석을 실시하였으며 한반도를 대상으로 극심한 가뭄에 대한 가뭄우심지역을 평가하기 위하여 지속기간별 가뭄빈도해석을 통해 SDF 곡선을 작성하고 이를 이용하여 가뭄우심도(Drought Potential Hazard Map)를 작성하였다. 가뭄단계별 발생빈도를 분석한 결과, 금강, 낙동강, 섬진강유역에서 심한가뭄과 극한가뭄단계의 발생빈도가 높게 나타났으며 가뭄빈도해석을 통해 작성된 SDF 곡선에서도 한강유역에 위치한 서울관측소에 비해 금강, 낙동강, 섬진강 유역에 위치한 대전, 대구, 광주 관측소의 재현기간별 가뭄심도가 낮게 나타났다. 가뭄빈도해석을 통해 작성된 가뭄우심도에서는 한강 유역과 낙동강 유역의 상류에 비해 금강, 섬진강, 영산강 유역이 가뭄에 취약한 지역으로 분석되어 가뭄단계별 발생빈도와 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 동일한 재현기간에서 지속기간이 길어질수록 가뭄의 심도가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 유역별 가뭄심도를 비교한 결과에서는 재현기간 200년 빈도, 지속기간 3개월의 가뭄심도의 경우, 섬진강 유역(-2.89)에서 한강(-2.13), 낙동강(-2.72), 금강(-2.45), 영산강(-2.73)유역에 더욱 극심한 가뭄을 나타내고 있었으며 지속기간 6개월의 가뭄심도에서도 동일한 결과를 나타내었다.

In this study, the effects of the characteristics of droplets of water spray on suppression of fire were analyzed numerically using fire dynamics simulator (FDS) 6.5.2. Additionally, the fire suppression characteristics by the water spray nozzle, including the extinguishing coefficient (EC), droplet size distribution function (SDF), median volumetric diameter (MVD), and droplets per second (DPS), were evaluated in terms of the decreasing normalized heat release rate (HRR) curve and cooling time. It was observed that with increase in the EC, the normalized HRR curve decreased rapidly, and the changing MVD affected the suppression of fire. In case of mono-disperse, the normalized HRR curve decreased slowly with the increase in DPS. On the contrary, in case of multi-disperse, the normalized HRR curve decreased rapidly even with a small increase in DPS.

Due to climate change, parts of Korea are experiencing large and small droughts every 2-3 years and extreme droughts every 7 years. Since most droughts occur mainly in areas where small water supply facilities in the tributaries or upstream are located, more research on technology for securing water in these areas is required. In this study, a drought evaluation using SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index), SDI (Streamflow Drought Index), and WBDI (Water Budget-based Drought Index) was performed to investigate hydrological drought in the Mulrocheon watershed of Chuncheon, a vulnerable area in terms of water supply. As a result of calculating hydrological drought indices SPEI and SDI, examining each duration, it was confirmed that the common drought in 2014 did not recover and continued until 2015. In the hydrological drought index evaluation result by WBDI, a very severe drought condition was observed in the spring of 2015 following 2014, and that drought was the most severe at -1.94 in November 2017. As a result of deriving a SDF (Severity-Duration-Frequency) curve through frequency analysis by duration using the drought index calculated on a monthly basis from 2003 to 2019 (17 years), most droughts in the Mulrocheon watershed were found to have a return period of less than 10 years, but droughts that occurred in 2014, 2015, and 2019 were found to cover more than 20 years, respectively.
