For the analysis of geothermal energy utilization in agriculture the relations between soil temperature and geographical variables such as latitude longitude and sea level in Korea were analyzed and the regression equations were suggested among them. The measured soil temperature data for four years in eighteen cities were used to get the soil temperature fitting equation depending on the soil depth and the time of year in each city. The mean correlation coefficient for those data fitting was 0.980. the correlation coefficient of regression analysis for the mean soil temperature($T_{m}$) on the geographical variables such as latitude longitude and height above sea level was 0.958 and those for soil surface temperature amplitude(Tss) and phase constant(tp) were 0.889, 0.835, respectively. The relation between the apparent thermal diffusivity of the soil and the three geographical variables was not significant. The regression equations for the mean soil temperature($T_{m}$) soil surface temperature amplitude(Tss) and phase constant(tp) adopting latitude($X_{1}$) longitude($X_2$) height above sea level($X_3$) were as follows : $T_{m}$=50.049 - $0.849X_1$-$0.03131X_2$-$0.00622X_3$Tss=-6.970 +$0.584X_1$+$0.00530X_2$-$0.00214X_3$tp=70.353 - $1.404X_1$+ $0.02098X_2$+ $0.00312X_3$

We have examined the occurrence probability of solar proton events (SPEs) and their peak fluxes depending three flare parameters (X-ray peak flux, longitude, and impulsive time). For this we used NOAA SPEs from 1976 to 2006, and their associated X-ray flare data. As a result, we selected 166 proton events that were associated with major flares; 85 events associated with X-class flares and 81 events associated with M-class flares. Especially the occurrence probability strongly depends on these three parameters. In addition, the relationship between X-ray flare peak flux and proton peak flux as well as its correlation coefficient are strongly dependent on longitude and impulsive time. Among NOAA SPEs from 1997 to 2006, most of the events are related to both flares and CMEs but a few fraction of events (5/93) are only related with CMEs. We carefully identified the sources of these events using LASCO CME catalog and SOHO MDI data. Specifically, we examined the directions of CMEs related with the events and the history of active regions. As a result, we were able to determine active regions which are likely to produce SPEs without ambiguity as well as their longitudes at the time of SPEs by considering solar rotation rate. From this study, we found that the longitudes of five active regions are all between $90^{\circ}W$ and $120^{\circ}W$. When the flare peak time is assume to be the CME event time, we confirmed that the dependence of their rise times (proton peak time - flare peak time) on longitude are consistent with the previous empirical formula. These results imply that five events should be also associated with flares which were not observed because they occurred from back-side. Now we are examining the occurrence probability of SPEs depending on CME parameters. Finally, we will discuss the future prospects on the development of an empirical SPE forecast model based on the information of flares and CMEs.

선박의 이동 경로를 예측하는 기존의 방법들은 일반적으로 위도와 경도를 직접 예측한다. 하지만, 위도와 경도를 직접 예측할 경우, 예측 모델이 출력 가능한 범위가 상당히 넓어서 예측 오차가 매우 크게 발생할 수 있다. 또한, 순환 신경망 모델 기반의 예측에서는 이전 예측 위치도 다음 위치를 예측하기 위해 사용되기 때문에 오차가 누적되는 현상도 쉽게 발생할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 제안하는 방법에서는 위도와 경도를 직접 예측하지 않고, 선박의 가속도를 예측하여, 향후 속도와 방향을 결정하고, 그 결과로 위도와 경도가 예측되는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과에서는 같은 순환 신경망 모델을 사용했을 때, 제안하는 방법이 기존의 직접적으로 위도와 경도를 예측하는 방법에 비해 더 적은 오차를 발생시킴을 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze methods for measuring the size of the Earth, put forth in 6 different Korean 8th grade science textbooks. The research questions are as follows: 1) Do they adequately map out the experiments for measuring the size of the earth by using the concept of the sun's altitude? 2) Do they reduce the size of the sun like as the Earth is similarly downsized to the globe? 3) Do they suggest the precise experimental conditions for selecting two equal longitudinal spots for measuring the size of the earth? 4) Do they design adequate experiments for exact measurement? 5) Do they offer a proportional expression for seeking the size of globe which is easily understood by students? 6) Do they develop experiments to measure actual size of the earth? Four graduate students and one researcher took part in this study. All conditions were unanimously agreed upon by the participants. The results are as follows. First, one publishing company must include the concept of the sun's altitude to accurately measure the size of the Earth. However, some textbooks fail to mention this. As such, the concept of the sun's altitude must be introduced to accurately measure the size of the Earth. Second, a reduced size globe is used as the actual earth so; the sun should be factored in with a reduced light value. Third, you have to lay a stress on two points at the same longitude. In other words, a shadow located at the same longitude from two randomly selected points. Most textbooks mention two points at the same longitude but two of them design the experiment with a shadow at the same longitude. Fourth, we need a method to precisely measure the angle between a stick and its shadow. The angle between the stick and the tip of its shadow is the sun's altitude difference. Fifth, we need to present more specific proportional expressions for calculating the size of the globe. Only 3 out of the 6 texts employed a proportional expression. Sixth, we need to calculate the size of the earth by accurately presenting the scale of the globe to attain the goal of the experiment. Two of the texts analyzed, designed the experiment for the purpose of calculating the size of the globe. Three of the texts designed their experiments to calculate the radius of globe which is not even relevant to the purpose of experiment.

최근, 도시 교통체계 운항으로 수직이착륙이 가능한 UAM(Urban Air Mobility, UAM)의 관심이 고조되고 있다. 따라서 첨단 기술이 적용된 친환경 미래형 교통수단으로 다양한 스타트업 기업에서 관련 기술들을 개발하고 있다. 하지만, UAM의 운항에서 안전성을 높일 수 있는 방안들에 관한 연구들은 아직 미미한 편이다. 특히, 자율주행이 탑재된 UAM이 도심에서의 착륙을 시도하는 과정에서 발생되는 위험에 대한 안전성을 향상시킬 수 있는 노력이 더욱 절실하다. 이에, 본 연구에서는, 도심에서 자율주행 UAM이 착륙을 시도 할 때, 방해가 되는 위험영역을 회피하여 안전하게 착륙할 수 있도록 하는 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위하여, 먼저, UAM의 센서에 의해 관측되는 위험물들의 위도 및 경도 좌표값을 산출하고, 이를 바탕으로, 3차원 영상에서 왜곡이 고려된 평면 영상의 좌표를 위도와 경도로 변환한 후 산출된 위도와 경도를 이용하여 미리 학습된 특징 서술자와HOG(Histogram of Oriented Gradients, HOG) 특징 서술자와의 비교하여 위험영역을 추출하는 방안을 제안한다. 위험영역을 완벽히 추출할 수는 없었지만 대체적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이에, 제안된 연구 방법이 자율주행 기술이 탑재된 UAM의 이착륙장 선정에 따른 막대한 비용을 줄이고, 도심과 같은 복잡한 환경에서 착륙을 시도할 때 위험성을 감소시키고 안전성을 높이기 위한 기초적인 방안에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to measure the setup variation for X (lateral), Y (longitude), and Z (vertical) by taking magnetic megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) before treating the brain, oropharynx, lung, and prostate patients on helical tomotherapy. In this study, 30 patients were chosen for each of the treatment areas, and their skin was labeled with a mark on a treatment planning reference point when taking CT. We preceded MVCT prior to tomotherapy and then conducted an auto registration based on the bony landmarks; image registration was used for automatically matching the patient's setup. Lastly, we confirmed and evaluated the translation coordinates of the images for 30 patients. The following shows the comparison result of the setup errors of each part: X (lateral) showed the highest setup errors with $3.44{\pm}2.05$ from Lung; Y (longitude) showed the highest setup errors showing $3.40{\pm}2.87mm$ from Prostate; and Z (vertical) showed the highest setup errors showing $6.62{\pm}4.38mm$ from Lung. This result verifies that the setup error can be prevented by taking MVCT before the treatment, and Planning Target Volume (PTV) margins can be reduced by referring to the resulting value of each treatment part. Ultimately, the dosage of the normal organs can be decreased as well as any side effects.

This work investigates the orbital perturbations of the cubesats that lie on LEO due to Earth albedo. The motivation for this paper originated in the investigation of the orbital perturbations for closed- Earth pico-satellites due to the sunlight reflected by the Earth (the albedo). Having assumed that the Sun lies on the equator, the albedo irradiance is calculated using a numerical model in which irradiance depends on the geographical latitude, longitude and altitude of the satellite. However, in the present work the longitude dependency is disregarded. Albedo force and acceleration components are formulated using a detailed model in a geocentric equatorial system in which the Earth is an oblate spheroid. Lagrange planetary equations in its Gaussian form are used to analyze the orbital changes when $e{\neq}0$ and $i{\neq}0$. Based on the Earth's reflectivity data measured by NASA Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS project), the orbital perturbations are calculated for some cubesats. The outcome of the numerical test shows that the albedo force has a significant contribution on the orbital perturbations of the pico-satellite which can affect the satellite life time.

The characteristic of East Asian summer monsoon is investigated using 8-year (March 1987-February 1995) - averaged monthly and 5-day mean 1 degree latitude-longitude gridded GMS high-cloud-amount data (HCA). An analysis of these data shows the convective zone (ITCZ) clouds which defined as the percentage of the total grid area covered by clouds with a cloud-top temperature below the 400 hPa-level climatological temperature. The HCA increased clearly over equatorial zone during December and January and 30-40 $^{\circ}$N during May and June. These HCA patterns are coincided with seasonal cycles of summer monsoon which is introduced in historical references. The relationship with the summer monsoon winds as climatological changing of wind direction is analyzed by ECMWF re-analysis 2.5-degree latitude-longitude grid surface data which is calculated with 8-year averaged from January 1987 to January 1995. In addition, the monsoon winds are showed by separated U, V-wind components far manifestation a tendency of onset and retreat data of seasonal monsoon.
