The adverse effect of harmful plankton on the marine ecosystem is a topic of deep concern. To investigate the role of such phytoplankton, a mathematical model containing distinct dynamical equations for toxic and non-toxic phytoplankton is analyzed. Stability analysis of the resulting three equation model is carried out. A continuous time variation in toxin liberation process is incorporated into the model and a stability analysis of the resulting delay model is performed. The distributed delay model is then extended to include the spatial distribution of plankton and the delay-diffusion model is analyzed with spatial and spatiotemporal kernels. Conditions for diffusion-driven instability in both the cases are derived and compared to explore the significance of these kernels. Numerical studies are performed to justify analytical findings.

A dynamic reliability model which can take into account the time history of loading sequences may be applied to the analyses of the hydraulic stability of armor units on rubble-mound breakwaters. All the parameters related to the stability of structures have been considered to be constants in the deterministic model until now. Thus, it is impossible to study the effects of some uncertainties of the related random variables on the stability of structures. In this paper, the dynamic reliability model can be developed by POT(Peak Over Threshold) method in order to take into account the time history of loading sequences and to investigate the temporal behaviors of stability of structure with its loading history. Finally, it is confirmed that the results of dynamic reliability model agree with straight- forwardly those of AFDA(Approximate Full Distribution Approach) of the static reliability model for the same input conditions. In addition, the temporal behaviors of probability of failure can be studied by the dynamic reliability model developed to analyze the hydraulic stability of armor units on rubble-mound breakwaters. Therefore, the present results may be useful for the management of repair and maintenance over the whole life cycle of structure.

Objective: The goal of this study was to systematically investigate the postural stability of dancers by providing unexpected perturbations. Method: Six female dancers and college students participated in this study. Unpredictable wait-pull balance perturbations in the anterior direction were provided to the participants during standing. Three different perturbation intensities (low, moderate, and high intensity) were used by increasing perturbation forces. Spatial and temporal stability of postural control were measured by using margin of stability (MoS) and time to contact (TtC), respectively. Results: Both MoS and TtC at moderate intensity were significantly greater in the dancer group than in the control group, but no significant differences were found at low and high intensities between the groups. Conclusion: The present study showed spatial and temporal stability of dynamic postural control in dancers. We found that the dancers were more spatially and temporally stable than the ordinary participants in response to unexpected external perturbation when the perturbation intensity was moderate at two extreme intensity levels (low and high).

지표에서의 토양수분은 수문학적, 생태학적 과정에서 지표면과 대기 사이의 물과 에너지의 교환을 조절하는 매우 중요한 인자로써 최근 이의 시공간적 변동성에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2004년 6~9월에 걸쳐 추진되었던 Soil Moisture Experiment 2004(SMEX04) 프로젝트를 통하여 측정된 미국 Arizona 주의 Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed 유역에 대한 토양수분 데이터를 이용하여 건조 지역에서의 토양수분의 시공간적 변동성을 통계적 방법으로 해석하였다. 시간 안정도를 분석하여 각 지점의 강우사상에 대한 민감도를 분석하였고 공간 변동성 분석을 통해 유역 내 강우관측소 주변 5개 지점을 대상으로 각 지점의 평균토양수분과 이의 표준편차 및 변동계수와의 관계를 파악하였다. 연구 결과, 대상지역에서 토양수분의 공간적인 분포는 대수정규분포가 적합하다는 것과 건조지역에서 보이는 공통된 특징인 높은 공간적 변동성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 시간 안정도 분석을 통해 지점별로 시간과 강우 발생에 대해 민감한 정도를 분석하였으며, 강우사상이 토양수분에 큰 영향을 주는 인자인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 토양수분의 시공간적 변동 특성은 차후 인공위성 토양수분 데이터의 retrieval algorithm을 개선하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

토양수분량 측정은 대표적으로 유전율을 측정하는 방식으로 토양수분 측정을 수행하고 있으며 비교적 정확하고 연속적인 자료를 수집할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 토양수분량은 인근의 동종(homogeneous)의 지형일지라도 측정 위치에 따라 값과 변화 특성의 차이가 발생한다. 이는 각 지점마다 토양, 식생, 지형 등의 다양한 환경 때문에 발생하며, 이러한 다양한 환경을 모두 고려하여 분석하기란 쉽지 않다. 이를 극복하기 위해 시간적 안정성 해석(Temporal stability analysis) 개념을 통해 기 설치된 토양수분의 지속적인 토양수분 패턴을 식별하고 선택된 대표 센서 위치에서 전체적인 평균을 산출하는 연구가 있었으며, 미국에서도 위성을 활용한 지상검증 연구를 위해 측정 그리드(grid)별로 시간적 안정성 해석 개념을 통해 지상 측정 네트워크 체계를 갖추었다. 국내에서도 최근 인공위성을 활용하여 토양수분을 산정하는 연구가 많아짐에 따라 측정 지역의 대표 토양수분 값을 선정하는 연구의 수요가 증가하였으며 수문자료의 지속성을 위해 결측을 최소화 방안으로 관측소 이중화 지점을 선정하는 연구의 필요성도 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존에 설치되어있는 설마천, 청미천 토양수분 관측소에 구역별 시간 안정성 해석법을 수행하여 추후 지점의 대표 토양수분을 산정할 수 있으며 이중화 설치 지점을 제시하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A lumped kinetic modeling platform is developed to investigate the coupled nuclear/thermo-fluid features of the closed natural circulation loop in a low power lead cooled fast reactor. This coolant material serves a reliable choice with noticeable thermo-physical safety characteristics in terms of natural convection. Boussienesq approximation is resorted to appropriately reduce the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) for the fluid flow into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). As a main contributing step, the coolant circulation speed is accordingly correlated to the loop operational power and temperature levels. Further temporal analysis and control synthesis activities may thus be carried out within a more consistent state space framework. Nyquist stability criterion is thereafter employed to carry out a sensitivity analysis for the system stability at various power and heat sink temperature levels and results confirm a widely stable natural circulation loop.

This paper presents the study of the effects of rigid-body motion simultaneously with the presence of the effects of temporal variation due to the existence of morphing speed on the aeroelastic stability of the two-stage telescopic wings, and hence this is the main novelty of this study. To this aim, Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the bending-torsional dynamics of the wing. The aerodynamic loads on the wing in an incompressible flow regime are determined by using Peters' unsteady aerodynamic model. The governing aeroelastic equations are discretized employing a finite element method based on the beam-rod model. The effects of rigid-body motion on the length-based stability of the wing are determined by checking the eigenvalues of system. The obtained results are compared with those available in the literature, and a good agreement is observed. Furthermore, the effects of different parameters of rigid-body such as the mass, radius of gyration, fuselage center of gravity distance from wing elastic axis on the aeroelastic stability are discussed. It is found that some parameters can cause unpredictable changes in the critical length and frequency. Also, paying attention to the fuselage parameters and how they affect stability is very important and will play a significant role in the design.

In this paper, numerical treatment of singularly perturbed parabolic delay differential equations is considered. The considered problem have small delay on the spatial variable of the reaction term. To treat the delay term, Taylor series approximation is applied. The resulting singularly perturbed parabolic PDEs is solved using Crank Nicolson method in temporal direction with non-standard finite difference method in spatial direction. A detail stability and convergence analysis of the scheme is given. We proved the uniform convergence of the scheme with order of convergence O(N^-1 + (∆t)²), where N is the number of mesh points in spatial discretization and ∆t is mesh length in temporal discretization. Two test examples are used to validate the theoretical results of the scheme.

본 연구에서는 강우에 기인하는 산사태에 의한 토사발생특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 1차원 불포화 지하수해석을 수행하여 강우에 따른 토양수분의 거동을 추정하였으며, 무한사면해석법을 이용하여 토양수분상태에 따른 유역단위 사면안정해석을 수행하였다. 이 때, 산사태의 발생 및 파괴깊이에 영향을 주는 토양심 및 여러 식생인자들을 고려하였다. 강우사상의 특성에 따른 토사발생특성 분석 결과, 산사태에 의한 토사의 발생에는 강우강도와 강우의 시간적 군집상태가 결정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 극치강우에 의한 유역 내 토사발생특성 분석결과, 태풍 '루사' 시의 잔여강우량이 다른 극치사상들에 비하여 매우 크게 나타났으며, 이러한 잔여강우량이 발생된 토사의 운송에 기여하였을 것으로 파악되었다. 아울러, 소수의 극치강우에 의하여 발생한 토사량이 유역 내 전체 토사발생량의 많은 부분을 차지함을 알 수 있었다.
