The purpose of this study was to find out prevalence of peg-laterals and to evaluate the frequency of dental anomalies in Korean children with peg-laterals. For this study, panoramic radiographs of 3,278 patients (aged 7 to 15 years) from the Department of Pediatric Dentistry admitted from January, 2008 to January, 2013 were selected for an investigation on peg-laterals distribution. The prevalence of peg-laterals was 2.62% (86 subjects). Among the peg-laterals children, the distribution of associated dental anomalies were as follows: congenitally missing teeth (29.1%), dens invaginatus (19.8%), impacted teeth (12.8%), supernumerary teeth (9.3%), and transposition (4.7%). Due to this study showing frequent occurrences of peg-laterals with other dental anomalies, one suggestion is to consider such relationships before deciding on a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Cyber defense exercise should require training on the latest cyber attacks and have a similar process to defense cyber attacks. In addition, it is also important to train on cyber resilience that can perform normal tasks or support equivalent tasks regardless of cyber attacks. In this paper, we proposed and developed a cyber range that can strengthen the elements of cyber resilience by performing cyber defense exercise in real time based on the cyber crisis alert issued when a cyber attack occurs in Korea. When BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE, and RED warnings are issued according to the cyber crisis, our system performs proactive response, real time response, and post response according to the alarm. It can improve trainee's capability to respond to cyber threats by performing cyber defense exercise in a cyber crisis environment similar to the actual situation of Korea.

The proper operation and safety management of water and wastewater treatment systems are essential for providing stable water service to the public. However, various natural disasters including floods, large storms, volcano eruptions and earthquakes threaten public water services by causing serious damage to water and wastewater treatment plants and pipeline systems. Korea is known as a country that is relatively safe from earthquakes, but the recent increase in the frequency of earthquakes has increased the need for a proper earthquake management system. Interest in research and the establishment of legal regulations has increased, especially since the large earthquake in Gyeongju in 2016. Currently, earthquakes in Korea are managed by legal regulations and guidelines integrated with other disasters such as floods and large storms. The legal system has long been controlled and relatively well managed, but technical research has made limited progress since it was considered in the past that Korea is safe from earthquake damage. Various technologies, including seismic design and earthquake forecasting, are required to minimize possible damages from earthquakes, so proper research is essential. This paper reviews the current state of technology development and legal management systems to prevent damages and restore water and wastewater treatment systems after earthquakes in Korea and other countries. High technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles, wireless networks and real-time monitoring systems are already being applied to water and wastewater treatment processes, and to further establish the optimal system for earthquake response in water and wastewater treatment facilities, continuous research in connection with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including information and communications technologies, is essential.

The tactical network is system based on wireless networking technologies that ties together surveillance reconnaissance systems, precision strike systems and command and control systems. Several alternative paths exist in the network because it is connected as a grid to improve its survivability. In addition, the network topology changes frequently as forces and combatants change their network access points while conducting operations. However, most Internet routing standards have been designed for use in stable backbone networks. Therefore, tactical networks may exhibit a deterioration in performance when these standards are implemented. In this paper, we propose Priority based Multi-Path routing with Local Optimization(PMPLO) for a tactical backbone network. The PMPLO separately manages the global and local metrics. The global metric propagates to other routers through the use of a routing protocol, and it is used for a multi-path configuration that is guaranteed to be loop free. The local metric reflects the link utilization that is used to find an alternate path when congestion occurs, and it is managed internally only within each router. It also produces traffic that has a high priority privilege when choosing the optimal path. Finally, we conducted a simulation to verify that the PMPLO can effectively distribute the user traffic among available routers.

Public sewage treatment facilities are a necessary infrastructure for public health that treat sewage generated in cities and basin living areas and discharge it into rivers or seas. Recently, the role of public sewage treatment is receiving attention as a place of use of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), which analyzes human specific metabolic emissions or biomarkers present in sewage to investigate the environment to which the population is exposed in the water drain. WBE is mainly applied to investigate legal and water-law drug use or to predict and analyze the lifestyle of local residents. WBE has also been applied to predict and analyze the degree of infectious diseases that are prevalent worldwide, such as COVID-19. Since sewage flowing into public sewage treatment facilities includes living information of the population living in the drainage area, it is easy to collect basic data to predict the confirmation and spread of infectious diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new role of public sewage treatment facilities as an infrastructure necessary for WBE that can obtain information on the confirmation and spread of infectious diseases other than the traditional role of public sewage treatment. In South Korea, the sewerage supply rate is about 95.5% and the number of public sewage treatment facility is 4,209. This means that the infrastructure of sewerage is fully established. However, to successfully drive for WBE , research on monitoring and big-data analysis is needed.

제주 내 크게 6개 지역에 흩어져 분포하고 있는 곶자왈은 화산활동으로 형성되었으며 제주 산림생물자원의 46%가 분포하여 생물종다양성이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 곶자왈은 자갈과 바위로 이루어져 있으며 토양이 적게 발달하여 건조에 직면할 가능성이 크다. 본 연구는 곶자왈에서 서식하는 멸종위기종이자 산림청에서 희귀식물로 지정한 개가시나무(Quercus gilva)와 같은 속이면서 공존하고 있는 종가시나무(Quercus glauca)의 건조 내성에 대한 반응을 알아보고자 실내에서 생리 반응을 연구하였다. 온도(22±2.94℃)와 토양 양분(10%)은 자생지의 값을 기준으로 처리하였으며 수분 처리는 토양을 채운 화분에 물이 화분 밑으로 새어나가기 직전까지 포장용수량 700mL를 공급한 후 27일간 단수하였다. 단수기간에 수분함량의 변화는 토양수분함량측정기(Watch Dog)를 설치하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 항목은 토양수분함량에 따른 광합성률, 증산률, 수분이용효율, 기공전도도, Fv/Fm, Fo, Fm, 엽록소함량을 측정하였다. 토양수분함량은 25, 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 광합성률은 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 증산률은 4, 5, 11, 14, 25, 27일째에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 낮았다. 수분이용효율은 13일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 기공전도도는 3, 9일째에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fv/Fm은 22, 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fo은 3, 14일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fm과 엽록소함량은 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 이와 같은 실험 결과로 보았을 때 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 건조 내성에 강한 것으로 판단된다.

Multi-functional floating wetland island (mFWI) was developed in order to prevent algal bloom and to improve water quality through several unit purification processes. A test bed was applied in the stagnant watershed in an urban area, from the summer to the winter season. For the advanced treatment, an artificial phosphorus adsorption/filtration medium was applied with micro-bubble generation, as well as water plants for nutrient removal. It appeared that the efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phosphorus (T-P) removal was higher in the warmer season (40.9%, 45.7%) than in the winter (15.9%, 20.0%), and the removal performance (suspended solid, chlorophyll a) in each process differs according to seasonal variation; micro-bubble performed better (33.1%, 39.2%) in the summer, and the P adsorption/filtration and water plants performed better (76.5%, 59.5%) in the winter season. From the results, it was understood that the mFWI performance was dependent upon the pollutant loads in different seasons and unit processes, and thus it requires continuous monitoring under various conditions to evaluate the functions. In addition, micro-bubbles helped prevent the formation of anaerobic zones in the lower part of the floating wetland. This resulted in the water circulation to form a new healthy aquatic ecosystem in the surrounding environment, which confirmed the positive influence of mFWI.

This study was conducted to confirm phenological response of main deciduous woody species in Korea according to elevated temperature. Based on seeds collected from the same place, 39 woody species were cultivated in field (control) and in greenhouse (treatment) that was maintained above base temperature ($4.8^{\circ}C$). And then, we observed phenotype change of leaves focused on phenological response and explained relation with their current distribution area. As a result, initiation period of leaves unfolding was 1st~3rd, May in control. It was 13, December~7, January in treatment. Period of leaves yellowing was 11~26, October in control. It was 30, October~13, November in treatment. Consequently, initiation period of leaves unfolding was faster by 119~140 days and period of leaves yellowing was slower by 3~32 days since elevated temperature. Period of leaves growth increased in treatment by 148 days than control. Quercus mongolica and Quercus serrata that cultivated in treatment was changed as evergreen trees which have grown up continuely during one year. Also, initiation period of leaves unfolding of Sorbus alnifolia in treatment was faster than in control. However, difference of the period between control and treatment was smallest. Because period of yellowing leaves was moved ahead. Phenological response of leaves according to elevated temperature had no relation of type of their current distribution area. This is the result of acclimation due to elevated temperature during the winter and suggests that the phenotype of leaves of 39 deciduous woody species is more sensitive to the current growth condition than to the past growth condition.
