다른 나라의 저궤도 위성에 대한 궤도 정보를 레이더 시스템을 이용하여 독자적으로 획득할 경우, 이에 필요한 궤도결정 알고리즘을 해석적 모델인 SGP4 모델과 실시간 처리방식인 확장 칼만필터를 이용하여 수치적 방법으로 개발하였다. 궤도결정 알고리즘의 상태벡터를 Kepler 6궤도 요소로 지정할 경우, 상태천이 행렬 계산시 궤도 경사각과 이심률에 대해 특이점 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 평균 궤도 요소를 평균 위치 및 속도 요소로 변환하여 상태벡터로 지정하였다. 필터 구성시 상태천이 행렬(State Transition Matrix)과 공분산 행렬(Covariance Matrix)은 SGP4모델과 수치적 방법인 finite difference방법을 이용하여 계산하였으며, 관측 자료는 방위 각, 고도각, 그리고 시선거리 형태로 각각 입력되며 각 관측 형태에 따라 일괄적으로 처리하도록 필터를 구성하였다. TOPEX/POSEIDON POE를 이용 시뮬레이션 생성한 관측간을 사용하여 개발한 궤도결정 알고리즘의 성능을 분석한 결과 개발한 알고리즘은 약 1km의 위치 오차를 가지며 7일 동안 약 3km의 위치 오차를 가지는 NORAD시스템과 동일한 성능을 가지기 위해 필요한 레이더 시스템의 최소 성능 요구조건은 방위각과 고도각은 0.1도 이내이고 시선거리는 50m이 내여야 한다.

Purpose: Blow-out fractures are reduced through transcutaneous or transconjunctival incisions. But the field of orbital surgery is difficult due to lack of visualization of fracture site, blind dissection of orbital floor, susceptibility of injury of orbital structures. In these situations, the former technique of using an antral balloon catheter has advantages over other methods for reconstruction because of its rapidity, simplicity, and inexpensiveness. Furthermore, the antral balloon catheter allows not only elevation of the orbital bone fragment but also expansion of the maxillary sinus in cases where there is a fracture of its walls. But postoperative follow-up method using computed tomography is expensive. Hence, we report a simple and inexpensive follow-up method using radiopaque dye inflation. Methods: We performed endoscopic transantral approach in 5 cases of blow-out fracture under general anesthesia. To accomplish this technique, a rigid 4 mm, 0 or 30 degree angled endoscopy was inserted into the maxillary sinus. Inflation of the catheter started gradually, with 10 to 15 mL of saline mixed radiopaque dye (saline: dye, 5 : 1) by syringe and while observing the elevation of the fracture site with endoscope until a proper contour was reached. For the maintain of the position of fractured site, 12 French urinary balloon foley catheter were used in fracture site for 7 - 10 days. Results: Postoperative assessment was performed by means of clinical and simple radiographic examination to secure the catheter under the inferior orbital wall and in the maxillary sinus. No specific complications occurred related to this procedure. Results of the surgery and follow-up in all cases were satisfactory. Conclusion: It may be a better alternative to the conventional follow-up method, with less cost and effectiveness of the catheter patency. The advantages of using the urinary balloon foley catheter with the radiopaque dye include the following : it is safe, efficacy, simple, and especially low cost. On drawback of this method is the discomfort to the patient caused by the catheter during the treatment.

Purpose: The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) represents the degree of nonenzymatic glycation and has been positively associated with cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) and cardiovascular disease in adults. This study aimed to investigate the association between HGI, components of metabolic syndrome (MS), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in a pediatric nondiabetic population. Methods: Data from 3,885 subjects aged 10-18 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2016) were included. HGI was defined as subtraction of predicted glycated hemoglobin ($HbA1_c$) from measured $HbA1_c$. Participants were divided into 3 groups according to HGI tertile. Components of MS (abdominal obesity, fasting glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood pressure), and proportion of MS, CMRF clustering (${\geq}2$ of MS components), and elevated ALT were compared among the groups. Results: Body mass index (BMI) z-score, obesity, total cholesterol, ALT, abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, and CMRF clustering showed increasing HGI trends from lower-to-higher tertiles. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed the upper HGI tertile was associated with elevated triglycerides (odds ratio, 1.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-2.30). Multiple linear regression analysis showed HGI level was significantly associated with BMI z-score, $HbA1_c$, triglycerides, and ALT. When stratified by sex, age group, and BMI category, overweight/obese subjects showed linear HGI trends for presence of CMRF clustering and ALT elevation. Conclusion: HGI was associated with CMRFs in a Korean pediatric population. High HGI might be an independent risk factor for CMRF clustering and ALT elevation in overweight/obese youth. Further studies are required to establish the clinical relevance of HGI for cardiometabolic health in youth.

하천망과 유역 등 하천 네트워크 관련 공간자료는 각종 하천관리, 하천계획 및 설계, 수리수문학적 해석 등의 근간을 이루는 기초자료로 활용되고 있다. 기존 RIMGIS 등에서 제공하는 하천정보도 현행화 및 적절한 관리 부족으로 공간정보시스템간 불일치와 실제 하천지형과 이격이 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 고해상도 수치지형도(DEM)이 국가하천 주변 등 일부 지역에서만 제공되어, 저해상도 DEM으로부터 추출된 하천네트워크 정보의 신뢰도가 낮고 가용한 기수립 하천네트워크 정보와의 불일치는 DEM 기반 다양한 하천정보 추출 및 탄력적 활용을 저하시키고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 우선 국내 하천공간정보시스템이 제공하는 하천망 정보의 공간정확도, 정보체계간 일치성 등을 평가하고, 낮은 해상도의 DEM에 기수립된 하천망을 DEM에 강제로 각인시키는 방법으로 DEM을 개선하여 추후 하천망 혹은 유역 추출 시 기수립 하천망 혹은 유역대로 재현이 가능하게 하여 하천분야에 DEM의 활용성을 높일 수 있는 방법론과 소프트웨어(Forced river Network Striation and Delineation tool: FNSD)을 개발하고자 하였다. 개발된 FNSD는 ArcGIS의 ModelBuilder에서 순차적으로 관련 모듈을 연계시켜 자동화되도록 설계되었고, 한강수계의 섬강 유역에 시범 적용되었으며 항공사진 정보를 기반으로 수작업을 통해 도출된 하천망을 기수립 하천망으로 간주하여 30 m 저해상도 DEM에 각인시켜 하천망을 재추출한 후 주어진 기수립 하천망과 비교하여 재현 정확도를 검토하였다. 섬강유역에 적용한 결과 FNSD는 기수립 하천망을 정확하게 재현할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 검증결과는 각인된 DEM이 다양한 차수의 하천망 및 유역을 신뢰성 있게 재현할 수 있어 저해상도 DEM의 하천활용도를 높이는데 기여할 가능성이 있음을 의미한다.

In this paper, we described the statistical modeling of crop yields using satellite images, climatic datasets, soil property maps, and fertilizer data for the Midwestern United States during 2001-2012. Satellite images were obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and climatic datasets were provided by the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) Climate Group. Soil property maps were derived from the Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD). Our multivariate regression models produced quite good prediction accuracies, with differences of approximately 8-15% from the governmental statistics of corn and soybean yields. The unfavorable conditions of climate and vegetation in 2012 could have resulted in a decrease in yields according to the regression models, but the actual yields were greater than predicted. It can be interpreted that factors other than climate, vegetation, soil, and fertilizer may be involved in the negative biases. Also, we found that soybean yield was more affected by minimum temperature conditions while corn yield was more associated with photosynthetic activities. These two crops can have different potential impacts regarding climate change, and it is important to quantify the degree of the crop sensitivities to climatic variations to help adaptation by humans. Considering the yield decreases during the drought event, we can assume that climatic effect may be stronger than human adaptive capacity. Thus, further studies are demanded particularly by enhancing the data regarding human activities such as tillage, fertilization, irrigation, and comprehensive agricultural technologies.

Following a transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous(TRAM) flap breast reconstruction, denervated state of the flap causes the flap skin prone to thermal injury, calling for special attention. During the last 5 years, 69 breast reconstruction with 72 free TRAM flaps, were performed. Four out of thesse 69 patients sustained burn injury. Heat sources were a warm bag(n=2), heating pad(n=1) and warming light (n=1). The thermal injuries occured from 2 days to 3 months following the reconstruction. Three patients healed with conservative treatment, but one patient required debridement and skin graft. Initially 3 out of 4 patients with the burn had shown superficial 2nd degree burn with small blebs or bullae. However all 4 patients healed with scars. Mechanism of burn injuries of the denervated flap are known to be resulting from; 1) loss of behavioral protection due to denervation of flap with flap elevation and transfer, 2) loss of autonomic thermoregulatory control with heat dissipation on skin flap vasculature contributing to susceptibility of burn injury. 3) changes of immunologic and normal inflammatory response increasing thromboxane, and a fall in substance P & NGF (nerve growth factor). Including the abdominal flap donor site, sensory recovery of the reconstructed breast varies individually from 6 month even to 5 years postoperatively. During this period, wound healing is delayed, resulting in easier scarring compared to that observed in the sensate skin. Patients should be carefully informed and warned of possible burn injuries and taught to avoid exposure to heat source at least until 3 years postoperatively.

Forest degradation reduces ecosystem services provided by forest and could lead to change in composition of species. In North Korea, there has been significant forest degradation due to conversion of forest into terrace fields for food production and cut-down of forest for fuel woods. This study analyzed the phenological changes in North Korea, in terms of vegetation and moisture in soil and vegetation, from March to Octorber 2013, using MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images and indexes including NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDSI (Normalized Difference Soil Index), and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index). In addition, marginal farmland was derived using elevation data. Lastly, degraded terrace fields of 16 degree was analyzed using NDVI, NDSI, and NDWI indexes, and marginal farmland characteristics with slope variable. The accuracy value of land cover classification, which shows the difference between the observation and analyzed value, was 84.9% and Kappa value was 0.82. The highest accuracy value was from agricultural (paddy, field) and forest area. Terrace fields were easily identified using slope data form agricultural field. Use of NDVI, NDSI, and NDWI is more effective in distinguishing deforested terrace field from agricultural area. NDVI only shows vegetation difference whereas NDSI classifies soil moisture values and NDWI classifies abandoned agricultural fields based on moisture values. The method used in this study allowed more effective identification of deforested terrace fields, which visually illustrates forest degradation problem in North Korea.

This study aims to construct a management system of road position information as part of the build-up to a maintenance and management system of highways. First, information on the positions of the roads were obtained by a real-time kinematic satellite surveying, and then the degree of accuracy was analyzed in comparison with the data of the existing design drawings. The linear coordinates of road center line obtained by using RTK GPS showed about 7.6-13.2cm errors in X and Y directions in the case of the national road No.2 section, and about 8.4-9.2cm errors in the case of local road No.1045 section. These errors were within the tolerance scope regulated by the TS survey, and could be practically used. In the case of vertical alignment, there were about 6.2cm errors in the Z direction in local road No.1045 section. Aerial photographs are normally used in producing numerical maps, and it can be practically used because the tolerance scope of the elevation control point is l0cm when the scale of aerial photographs is 1/1000. The management system of road position information, utilizing Object-Oriented Programming(OOP), was built having the data acquired in this way as the attribute data. The system developed in this way can enable us to spot the positions of road facilities, the target of management with ease, to easily update the data in case of changes in the positions of roads and road facilities, and to manage the positions of roads and road facilities more effectively.
