  • 이 연구에서는 서낙동강을 구성하는 소유역 중 대지면적 비율이 크고 인구밀도가 높은 해반천 유역의 유출 및 수질을 모의하기 위한 HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN)모형을 개발하였다. 유역에서 발생하는 비점오염 부하량을 관리하기 위한 세 가지 시나리오가 개발되어 모형에 적용되었고, 오염부하량의 감소와 부하지속곡선에 대비한 수질 기준 초과율이 분석되었다. 시나리오는 비점오염의 발생을 줄이기 위한 도로 청소, 다양한 저영향 개발 기법을 고려한 유출 저감 조치, 그리고 강으로 들어가는 비점오염원을 완화하기 위한 유입 저감 조치로 구성되었다. 첫 번째 시나리오에서는 김해시의 도로 청소 차량 수와 같은 실제 조건이 고려되었으며, 두 번째와 세 번째 시나리오에서는 적용 가능한 토지 이용별 면적의 50%에 저영향 개발 기법을 적용하는 것으로 적용되었다. 모든 세 가지 조치를 적용한 결과, BOD 오염 물질 부하가 58.28%, T-N은 58.49%, T-P는 51.56% 감소할 수 있는 것으로 도출되었다. 또한, 5년간 누적된 수질 측정의 60번째 백분위수를 목표 수질로 설정하고 구축된 유량지속곡선에 의한 초과율분석 결과, 결과적으로, BOD의 경우 조치 적용 전 41.57%의 초과율이 조치 후 16.32%로 감소하여, 초과율이 25.25% 감소하였다. T-N의 경우 조치 전 40.31%에서 조치 후 22.84%로, T-P의 경우 62.43%에서 27.22%로 감소하였다.

  • Since W.A. Shewhart (1931) developed the quality control method using the control chart, many theoretical and empirical works about such an analytical method have been done. However there are two major methods relating to the control chart analysis; the conventional 3 sigma control method and the warning limit method which has been suggested as a modification of the former. The conventional 3 sigma method requires to take a remedial action only when a quality characteristic is beyond the control limit (3 sigma). However, once a quality characteristic is over the control limit, searching and repairing an assignable cause requires time consuming job and high costs. Therefore if we set the warning limit between the central line and the control limit, we will be able to take remedial measures before too late. In spite of its advantage, much attention has not been paid to use the control chart with warning limit in Korean industries. The main object of this study is to examine improvement of quality and productivity when the control chart with warning limit is used.

  • In the Seoul Metropolitan Area(SMA) photochemical air pollutants, nitrogenic compound and particulate matters have increased substantially due to mobile sources, power plants and so on. Therefore 'Special Act on Seoul Metropolitan Air Quality Improvement' was enacted on 2003 in order to improve air quality in the SMA. According to the Special Act, Central and local government have developed the state implementation plan(SIP) to reduce air pollutant emissions from various local sources. One of the key elements of the SIP development is the air quality modeling since modeling results can be used to establish emissions control strategies as well as to demonstrate attainment of air quality goals for ozone, particulate matter, and so on. Air quality modeling, therefore, can be usefully utilized to investigate the effects of government's efforts according to control strategies or measures. Using the air quality model, we can determine whether the implementation plan should be revised or not. A number of questions, however, has been raised concerning accuracy, consistency and transparency of modeling results because if we do not trust modeling results, all the measures dependent on modeling becomes in vain. So, without dealing with these questions, we can not guarantee the reliability and utilizability of air quality modeling results. In this study, we tried to establish standard methodology for air quality modeling in order to ensure consistency and transparency of modeling results used in the development and evaluation of national air policy. For this purpose, we established air quality modeling guideline to provide or recommend modeling procedures, vertical and horizontal domains, input data of meteorological and air quality modeling and so on.

  • Purpose: Recently, many quality issues are aroused in military forces, such as failures in K-series weapons, combat boots defects and 40mm ammunition explosion accident. To address these problems, this paper suggests to use so called, Defense Quality Score, which is based on Taguchi loss function and developed in this research. Methods: Current defense specification states only the minimum requirement to produce the military supplies. Therefore, it is not easy to indue the continuous quality improvement of the supplies. This research suggests to use the defense quality score which measures the current status of defense supplies'quality characteristics. Results: We applied the defense quality score concept into the hot pepper sauce and long time stockpiled ammunition. We first categorize the quality characteristics into three categories, then assign the certain amount of score based on the importance of the characteristics. Lastly, we applied the modified Taguchi loss function to calculate the achieved score of the characteristics. The perfect score is 100 and the closer to the score, the better product it indicates. Conclusions: In this research, we developed the modified Taguchi loss function to apply into the korean defense supplies. The loss function is utilized to calculate the achieved level of satisfaction of the supplies based on the defense specifications. The application of defense quality score may help to stimulate the continuous quality improvement and encourage the good will quality competition among the military providers.

  • In spite of considerable advances in water quality control measures within lake, many basic questions concerning an eutrophication still remains unanswered and it becomes obvious that an extensive limnological database is needed for the inter-comparison between bodies of water and for the assessment of the status of lake water quality. In order to diagnose the water environment and assess the changes of the water quality, Wangkung irrigation reservoir was investigated by a long-term monitoring program for the physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters. In addition, these data was used to determine the design elements of natural purification facilities.

  • With globalization taking place at a rapid speed, more and more people move from one place to another and more people with diverse cultural backgrounds are now living together than ever before. As a result, more people go through the process of acculturation. Dietary acculturation, a part of overall acculturation, is a series of changes that occur in food and nutrient consumption and dietary behaviors. This paper examined dietary acculturation in Korean Americans through a critical literature review. The current diet quality of Korean Americans is fair, and the areas in need of improvement include sodium, calcium, and fiber intakes. Korean Americans had different diet profiles by acculturation status; however, whether dietary acculturation leads to a lower diet quality is not conclusive at this time. This paper also suggests areas that warrant consideration in future research: 1) acculturation measures, 2) dietary measures, 3) possible factors affecting dietary acculturation, 4) health consequences of dietary acculturation, and 5) study design issues. Studying dietary acculturation among immigrants and their offspring is important because it will provide useful insights for designing health and nutrition interventions in both original and new countries. Quality research in dietary acculturation requires collaborations among researchers from different nations because it deals with diverse cultures.

  • Purpose: In this study, pollutants generated in industrial areas were measured using a Portable Air Quality Measurement System(PAQMS). This study intends to examine in detail improvement measures and operational capabilities to operate a more efficient PAQMS. Research design, data and methodology: This study compares and analyzes the measurement values of the PAQMS and the measurement values of the national air quality measurement network. It is intended to develop a PAQMS corresponding to the data of the national measurement network by minimizing the errors that occur during comparative measurement and analysis and supplementing and improving the problems that occur during the current equipment calibration. Results: A PAQMS is an essential equipment for faster and more accurate measurement and analysis of pollutants in case of untimely measurement and civil complaints due to Micro Climate(local weather and environmental influences). Currently, there are many atmospheric measurement equipment in Korea, but only equipment for each item is produced and sold. Currently, these devices on the market must satisfy various conditions such as stable power, temperature, and humidity to calculate accurate measurement values. Conclusions: Therefore, there is no equipment that satisfies the conditions for performing detailed measurement in the field where accurate measurement is required. In this study, these field work conditions and contents for stable measurement were mentioned in the text.

  • This review evaluated the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) for chronic fatigue syndrome. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using EA as an intervention for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome were identified in 6 databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, CNKI, J-STAGE, KMBASE, OASIS). Fatigue indicators were used as the primary outcome measures. The quality-of-life index, efficiency rate, and level of pain were used as secondary outcome measures. There were 408 patients from seven RCTs included in this study. Meta-analysis showed that EA was significantly associated with fatigue relief compared with the control group (n = 141 SMD = -1.55, 95% CI; -2.58 - -0.52, p = 0.003, I2 = 92%). In addition, EA had a statistically significant improvement in quality of life compared with the control group (n = 176, SMD = -2.29, 95% CI; -3.68 - -0.90, p = 0.001, I2 = 96%). One study reported ten cases of bleeding, however, no serious adverse events were reported in any of the included studies. This review determined that EA may have a greater clinical effect than the control group for fatigue relief and improved quality of life. However, there were several risks of bias identified. Not all of the RCTs accurately reported the research method, all studies were conducted in 1 country (China), and the number of studies included were small.

  • 본 논문에서는 음성의 특성 지표를 이용한 음성 인식용 데이터베이스 검증 시스템의 개발 내용을 소개하고 이 시스템의 핵심 기술인 음성 특성 지표 추출 알고리즘을 설명한다. 선행 연구에서는 본 시스템에 필요한 효과적인 음성 인식 성능 지표를 생성하기 위해 대표적인 음성 인식 성능 지표인 단어 오인식률(Word Error Rate, WER)과 상관도가 높은 여러 가지 음성 특성 지표들을 조합하여 새로운 성능 지표를 생성하였다. 생성된 음성 인식 성능 지표는 다양한 잡음 환경에서 각 음성 특성 지표를 단독으로 사용할 때보다 단어 오인식률과 높은 상관도를 나타내어 음성 인식 성능을 예측하는데 효과적임을 입증 하였다. 본 실험에서는 선행 연구에서 조합에 사용한 이차적인 음성 인식기에서 추출된 음향 모델 확률 값을 GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model) 음향 모델 확률 값으로 대체해 조합함으로써 시스템 구축 시 다른 음성 인식기에 대한 의존성을 감소시킨다.
