This study investigates the factors that affect China's air pollution using city-level panel data and spatial econometric models. We address three air pollutants ($PM_{10}$, $SO_2$, and $NO_2$) present in 30 cities in China between 2004-2012 using global OLS and spatial models. To develop the spatial econometric analysis, we create a spatial weights matrix to define spatial patterns based on two neighborhood criteria - the queen contiguity and k nearest neighbors. The results show that the estimated coefficients are relatively consistent across different spatial weight criteria. The OLS models indicate that the effect of green spaces is statistically significant in decreasing the concentrations of all air pollutants. In the $PM_{10}$ and $SO_2$ analyses, the OLS models find that the number of buses and population density are also positively related to a reduction in the concentration of air pollutants. In addition, an increase in the temperature and the presence of secondary industries increase $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ concentrations, respectively. All spatial models capture a positive and significant effect of green spaces on reducing the concentration of each air pollutant. Our results suggest that green spaces in cities should receive priority consideration in local planning aimed at sustainable development. Furthermore, policymakers need to be able to discern the differences among pollutants when establishing environmental policies.

본 연구에서는 원도심의 노후화로 인해 도심 활력이 저하되고 있는 부산시 도심부를 대상으로 도심의 경계를 확인하기 위하여 공간통계학적 접근이 시도되었다. 이 과정에서 도심경계설정에 적합한 Getis-Ord $G_i^*$ 방법론과 Inverse Distance Weight(IDW)와 Fixed Distance Band(FDB) 두 가지 공간적 연관성 방법을 적용하여 도심경계를 설정하였다. 공간통계학적 방법을 이용해 도출된 도심경계 결과는 유용성과 신뢰성 확인을 위하여 선행연구의 방법과 비교 검증하였다. 검증결과 IDW 방법론의 결과는 상업 업무용 토지이용비율이 40% 이상인 선행연구의 결과와는 일치하였고, FDB 방법론의 결과는 주상혼합지역 혹은 주공혼합지역의 성격을 가지는 점이지대의 특성을 반영할 수 있었다. 특히, 본 연구에서 적용한 특성화 지수를 이용한 결과 FDB 방법론을 적용한 도심경계에서 주 상복합용 토지이용이 매우 특화되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 향후 도시공간구조의 이해와 효율적인 도시의 관리에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a kinematic limit analysis for passive earth pressure of rigid retaining structures considering the unsaturation of the backfill. Particular emphasis in the current work is focused on the effects of the spatial change in the degree of saturation on the passive earth pressure under different steady-infiltration/evaporation conditions. The incorporation of change of effective unit weight with degree of saturation is the main contribution of this study. The problem is formulated based on the log-spiral failure model rather than the linear wedge failure model, in which both the spatial variations of suction and soil effective unit weight are taken into account. Parametric studies, which cover a wide range of flow conditions, soil types and properties, wall batter, back slope angle as well as the interface friction angle, are performed to investigate the effects of these factors on the passive pressure and the corresponding shape of potential failure surfaces in the backfill. The results reveal that the flow conditions have significant effects on the suction and unit weight of the clayey backfill, and hence greatly impact the passive earth pressure of retaining structures. It is expected that present study could provide an insight into evaluation of the passive earth pressure of retaining structures with unsaturated backfills.

시간의 변화뿐만 아니라 공간 위치의 변화를 함께 고려한 자료를 공간 시계열 자료라고 한다. 공간 시계열 자기회귀 이동평균 모형과 공간 시계열 중선형 모형에 대해 소개하고 각각의 Kalman Filter 방법에 의한 모수 추정의 과정을 거쳐 최종 선택된 모형의 예측력을 비교하였다. 또한 공간 시계열 자료의 모형에 포함되는 가중행렬에 대하여 기존의 방법인 동일한 가중치와 더불어 거리에 비례한 가중치와 인구수에 비례한 가중치를 제안하였다. 실증분석을 위해 한국질병관리본부에서 수집한 유행성 이하 선염 자료를 활용하여 가중치를 달리한 공간 시계열 모형을 적합시키고 예측하였다. 예측 오차 제곱합을 활용하여 어느 모형이 가장 효과적인 모형인지 판정하였다.

애추와 같이 인간의 접근이 쉽지 않은 지형의 현장조사에서는 시간과 비용을 절약하기 위해 실제 현장조사 전에 대상 지형자원의 범위를 줄이는 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 대상 지형자원의 현장조사 범위를 줄이기 위해 기존 지형의 위치와 기타 GIS 정보 사이의 관계를 확률로 표현하는 자료유도형(target-driven) 공간통계기법인 Weight of Evidence 기법을 적용하였다. Weight of Evidence 기법을 적용하기 위해 애추와 관련된 지형요소를 선정한 후 지형요소와 GIS 정보의 상관관계 분석 결과를 근거로 우도비를 산출하였다. 각각의 주제도에 대한 경우의 수를 산정한 후, SRC 및 AUC 방법을 이용하여 애추 분포 가능지수가 가장 큰 조합을 찾았다. 애추 분포 가능지수가 가장 큰 주제도의 조합은 사면향도와 지질도, 경사도, 토지피복도, 유효토심도, 토양배수도의 조합으로, 애추 분포 가능지 면적비가 74.47%로 나타나 상당히 높은 정확도를 보였다.

Spatial distribution of faeces by Japanese Black heifers and steers was investigated. The animals grazed a bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum $Fl\ddot{u}gge$) pasture in the daytime from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and spent the rest of the day in a barn. The pasture consisted of three paddocks, an alley and a resting area, and the paddocks were grazed rotationally. The number of defecations and the faecal weight excreted in the pasture were greater than those expected from the proportion of time that the animals spent in the pasture. These values were correspondingly smaller in the barn. The distribution of faeces to the paddock, alley and resting area of the pasture was usually not proportional to the area of the respective places. The number of defeations and the faecal weight were usually distributed less densely in the paddock than in the resting area. The degree of aggregation of defecation in the paddock, alley and resting area varied with the meteorological factors such as the air temperature, solar radiation and rainfall during the grazing, and the intake of hay supplement of the previous day.

Spatial variation of heavy metal accumulation was investigated in Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum collected from several tidal flats. Sediment metal levels varied highly among the sites, which was attributed primarily to differences in Fe and organic carbon contents and in part to gain size. Significant differences in metal concentrations also were found in the clam tissue among the different sampling sites. However, except for a few metals (Mn, Zn, Pb), which showed some elevation, the variations in the clam tissue were not related to the variations in the sediment. This is likely because most metals in filter-feeding herbivores such as R. philippinarum accumulated as a result of feeding on suspended particles such as phytoplankton and organic detritus in the water column, not in bottom sediment. In addition, tissue weight for a specific shell size varied significantly among the sites, and increased tissue mass indicating a good nutritive condition likely caused a subsequent dilution of body metals leading to reduced weight-specific concentrations of some metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Co).

A scanning slot digital mammography system Luing a plastic scintillating fiber screen (SFS) is currently being developed To improve the x-ray interaction efficiency and absorption efficiency of an SFS, high Z elements can be added into the scintillating fiber core. In this paper, we investigated theoretically the zero spatial frequency detective quantum efficiency, DQE(0), and modulation transfer function, MTF(f), of three 2 cm thick SFSs made of polystyrene, polystyrene loaded with 5% by weight of lead, and polystyrene Loaded with 10% by weight of tin scintillating fibers. X-ray interaction efficiency, scintillating light intensity distributions and line spread functions were generated using Monte Carlo simulation. DQE(0) and MTF(f) were computed for x-ray energies ranging from 15 to 50 keV. Loading high Z elements into the SFS markedly increased the DQE(0). For x-ray energies used for mammovaphy, DQE(0) values of both high Z element loaded SFSs are about a factor of three higher than the DQE(0) of an Min-R screen. At mammographic x-ray energies, MTF(f) values of all three SFSs are Venter than 50% at 25 Ip/mm spatial frequency, and were found to be dominated by the 20 um individual scintillating fiber diameter used The results show that both hiP DQE(0) and spatial resolution can be achieved with the high Z element loaded SFSs, which make these SFSs attractive for use in a scanning slot detector for digital mammography.

Weather is the most influential factor for crop cultivation. Weather information for cultivated areas is necessary for growth and production forecasting of agricultural crops. However, there are limitations in the meteorological observations in cultivated areas because weather equipment is not installed. This study tested methods of predicting the daily mean temperature in onion fields using geostatistical models. Three models were considered: inverse distance weight method, generalized additive model, and Bayesian spatial linear model. Data were collected from the AWS (automatic weather system), ASOS (automated synoptic observing system), and an agricultural weather station between 2013 and 2016. To evaluate the prediction performance, data from AWS and ASOS were used as the modeling data, and data from the agricultural weather station were used as the validation data. It was found that the Bayesian spatial linear regression performed better than other models. Consequently, high-resolution maps of the daily mean temperature of Jeonnam were generated using all observed weather information.
