Owing to advancements in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and artificial-intelligence technologies, various machine-learning models can be employed to simulate and predict the number of traffic accidents under different weather conditions. Furthermore, we can analyze the relationship between weather and traffic accidents, allowing us to assess whether the current weather conditions are suitable for travel, which can significantly reduce the risk of traffic accidents. In this study, we analyzed 30000 traffic flow data points collected by traffic cameras at nearby intersections in Washington, D.C., USA from October 2012 to May 2017, using Pearson's heat map. We then predicted, analyzed, and compared the performance of the correlation between continuous features by applying several machine-learning algorithms commonly used in ITS, including random forest, decision tree, gradient-boosting regression, and support vector regression. The experimental results indicated that the gradient-boosting regression machine-learning model had the best performance.

The research work is concerned with the analytical and experimental studies on the heat transfer phenomenon around the underground concrete digester used for biogas production Systems. A mathematical and computational method was developed to estimate heat losses from underground cylindrical concrete digester used for biogas production systems. To test its feasibility and to evaluate thermal parameters of materials related, the method was applied to six physical model digesters. The cylindrical concrete digester was taken as a physical model, to which the model,atical model of heat balance can be applied. The mathematical model was transformed by means of finite element method and used to analyze temperature distribution with respect to several boundary conditions and design parameters. The design parameters of experimental digesters were selected as; three different sizes 40cm by 80cm, 80cm by 160cm and l00cm by 200cm in diameter and height; two different levels of insulation materials-plain concrete and vermiculite mixing in concrete; and two different types of installation-underground and half-exposed. In order to carry out a particular aim of this study, the liquid within the digester was substituted by water, and its temperature was controlled in five levels-35。 C, 30。 C, 25。 C, 20。C and 15。C; and the ambient air temperature and ground temperature were checked out of the system under natural winter climate conditions. The following results were drawn from the study. 1.The analytical method, by which the estimated values of temperature distribution around a cylindrical digester were obtained, was able to be generally accepted from the comparison of the estimated values with the measured. However, the difference between the estimated and measured temperature had a trend to be considerably increased when the ambient temperature was relatively low. This was mainly related variations of input parameters including the thermal conductivity of soil, applied to the numerical analysis. Consequently, the improvement of these input data for the simulated operation of the numerical analysis is expected as an approach to obtain better refined estimation. 2.The difference between estimated and measured heat losses was shown to have the similar trend to that of temperature distribution discussed above. 3.It was found that a map of isothermal lines drawn from the estimated temperature distribution was very useful for a general observation of the direction and rate of heat transfer within the boundary. From this analysis, it was interpreted that most of heat losses is passed through the triangular section bounded within 45 degrees toward the wall at the bottom edge of the digesten Therefore, any effective insulation should be considered within this region. 4.It was verified by experiment that heat loss per unit volume of liquid was reduced as the size of the digester became larger For instance, at the liquid temperature of 35˚ C, the heat loss per unit volume from the 0. 1m$^3$ digester was 1, 050 Kcal/hr m$^3$, while at for 1. 57m$^3$ digester was 150 Kcal/hr m$^3$. 5.In the light of insulation, the vermiculite concrete was consistently shown to be superior to the plain concrete. At the liquid temperature ranging from 15。 C to 350 C, the reduction of heat loss was ranged from 5% to 25% for the half-exposed digester, while from 10% to 28% for the fully underground digester. 6.In the comparison of heat loss between the half-exposed and underground digesters, the heat loss from the former was fr6m 1,6 to 2, 6 times as much as that from the latter. This leads to the evidence that the underground digester takes advantage of heat conservation during winter.

A social phenomenon that occurs in a physical space is said to be a complex system. However, space syntax, which is commonly employed by researchers to identify such social phenomena, has various limitations in interpreting their complexity. On the other hand, agent-based modeling considers a variety of factors including the personality of the agent, objective-oriented work flows, estimation according to time flows and better prediction of space use through diverse parameters depending the situation, as well as the characteristics of the space. The agent-based method thus has the potentials to be developed as an alternative to space syntax techniques. In particular, discrete event driven simulation(DEVS), which is part of the agent-based modeling method, embraces the concept of networks just like space syntax, which allows a possible theoretical linkage in the future. This study suggests a procedural model of agent-based DEVS reflecting two different connection methods, i.e. connections between adjacent areas and those of the entire space, and attempts to identify the relationship between the local and regional indices of space syntax. A number of spaces were selected as examples-one for a preliminary experiment and eight modified for the main experiment-and space syntax and DEVS were applied to each of them. The comparative analysis of the results led to the conclusions as follows: 1) Adjacent connections were closely related to local indices, while the whole-space approach to regional indices. Local integration shows both characteristics. 2) Observation of the time flow model indicated a faster convergence with the range of 1 to 3-fold of the total time of one lap, with the error of less than 10%. 3) The heat map analysis showed more obvious characteristics of using the space for the entire space rather than adjacent connections. 4) Space syntax shows higher eligibility than ABM.

In this study, the impacts of land surface conditions, land cover (LC) map and leaf area index (LAI), on the short-range weather forecast over the East-Asian region were examined using Unified Model (UM) coupled with the MOSES 2.2 (Met-Office Surface Exchange Scheme). Four types of experiments were performed at 12-km horizontal resolution with 38 vertical layers for two months, July and August 2009 through consecutive reruns of 72-hour every 12 hours, 00 and 12 UTC. The control experiment (CTRL) uses the original IGBP (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) LC map and old MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) LAI, the new LAI experiment (NLAI) uses improved monthly MODIS LAI. The new LC experiment (NLCE) uses KLC_v2 (Kongju National Univ. land cover), and the new land surface experiment (NLSE) uses KLC_v2 and new LAI. The reduced albedo and increased roughness length over southern part of China caused by the increased broadleaf fraction resulted in increase of land surface temperature (LST), air temperature, and sensible heat flux (SHF). Whereas, the LST and SHF over south-eastern part of Russia is decreased by the decreased needleleaf fraction and increased albedo. The changed wind speed induced by the LC and LAI changes also contribute the LST distribution through the change of vertical mixing and advection. The improvement of LC and LAI data clearly reduced the systematic underestimation of air temperature over South Korea. Whereas, the impacts of LC and LAI conditions on the simulation skills of precipitation are not systematic. In general, the impacts of LC changes on the short range forecast are more significant than that of LAI changes.

토양침식에 영향을 미치는 기후 인자로는 강우, 기온, 바람, 습도 및 태양열 복사 등이 있다. 이들 인자 중 강우는 토양침식에 직접적인 영항을 미친다. 강우의 운동에너지는 토립자의 이탈을 유발하며 강우로 인해 발생하는 흐름은 이탈 토립자를 연행시킨다. 토양침식을 예측하는데 있어 이러한 강우의 영향을 나타내는 지표의 설정은 중요한다. 본 연구에서는 범용토양유실공식(USLE)과 개정공식(RUSLE)의 강우침식도 R의 추정을 위해 1973년부터 1996년 까지 24년간 전국 53개 기상청 관측소의 강우 자료를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 강우자료는 모든 관측소에 대해 동일 기간이며, 최근 24년간의 자료를 바탕으로 하고 있다. 본 연구의 최종 결과는 우리 나라의 등강우침식도로 나타내었다.

Enterococcus faecalis, a gram-positive bacterium, has been implicated in endodontic infections, particularly in chronic apical periodontitis. Proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$), are involved in the pathogenesis of these apical lesions. E. faecalis has been reported to stimulate macrophages to produce TNF-$\alpha$. The present study investigated the mechanisms involved in TNF-$\alpha$ production by a murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 in response to exposure to E. faecalis. Both live and heat-killed E. faecalis induced high levels of gene expression and protein release of TNF-$\alpha$. Treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of endocytosis, prevented the mRNA up-regulation of TNF-$\alpha$ by E. faecalis. In addition, antioxidant treatment reduced TNF-$\alpha$ production to baseline levels. Inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase also significantly attenuated E. faecalis-induced TNF-$\alpha$ expression by RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ and AP-1 in RAW 264.7 cells was also stimulated by E. faecalis. These results suggest that the phagocytic uptake of bacteria is necessary for the induction of TNF-$\alpha$ in E. faecalis-stimulated macrophages, and that the underlying intracellular signaling pathways involve reactive oxygen species, ERK, p38 MAP kinase, NF-${\kappa}B$, and AP-1.

도시 수목은 대기 중 이산화 탄소 흡수, 대기질 개선, 도시열섬 현상 완화 및 생태계서비스 제공과 같은 중요한 역할을 한다. 도시 수목을 효과적으로 관리하고 보전하기 위해서는 위치, 상태, 수종, 개체 수 등에 대한 정확한 공간 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 딥러닝 기반의 고해상도 도시 수목 면적 지도를 이용해 도시 지표면으로부터 수목을 분리하고, 국지적 최대값 필터링을 통해 수목의 위치를 정확하게 탐지하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 도시의 다양한 생육 환경을 고려해 일률적인 필터 크기를 사용하는 대신, 수고에 따라 적절한 필터 크기를 선택해 수목 탐지 성능을 향상시켰다. 수원시 전역을 대상으로 구축한 도시 수목 위치 및 수고 정보는 도시 생태계의 지속가능한 관리와 탄소 저감 대책을 위한 기반이 될 것이다.

결론적으로 본 연구에서는 16S rRNA 유전자 기반의 454 pyrosequencing을 통해 혐기성 소화조에 존재하는 다양한 아케아를 규명할 수 있었으며, 지금까지 그 중요성이 잘 알려지지 않은 Methanococcales 목에 속하는 아케아가 소화조에 공통적으로 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 소화조의 운전조건은 아케아의 다양성과 군집구조를 결정하는데 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실규모 6개 혐기성 소화조를 대상으로 11개 소화 슬러지 시료를 채취해, 16S rRNA 유전자 기반의 454 pyrosequencing을 이용하여 아케아 군집구조를 조사하였다. 아케아 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열로부터 측정된 observed operational taxanomic units (OTUs)는 13-55 OTUs이었으며(3% cutoff), 이는 Chao1 richness estimate로 계산된 값의 29-89%에 해당하였다. 소화조에는 메탄생성에 직접적으로 관련이 있다고 알려진 Methanomicrobiales, Methanobacteriales, Methanococcales, Methanosarcinales, Methanocellales 목에 속하는 아케아 뿐만 아니라, Thermoproteales, Thermoplasmatales, Desulfurococcales목에 속하는 아케아도 함께 발견되었다. 이 중 수소를 기질로 해서 메탄을 생성한다고 알려진 Methanoacoccales가 전체 염기서열의 51.8-99.7%를 차지해 가장 많이 발견된 분류군으로 나타났다. Heat map 분석결과 각 시료들의 아케아 군집구조는 1개 시료를 제외한 나머지 10개 시료가 매우 비슷한 군집구조를 가지고 있었다(Pearson 상관지수=0.99). 또한, 아케아 군집구조와 환경변수들의 상관성을 분석한 canonical correspondence analysis를 통해 혐기성 소화조의 아케아 군집구조에 영향을 미치는 중요 환경변수는 소화조의 온도와 총고형물 제거율임을 확인하였다. 모든 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 소화조의 운전조건은 아케아의 다양성과 군집구조를 결정하는데 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자라고 사료된다.
