It has been mown that the global warming has an effectet on marine ecosystem and marine environments. Then, fisherman's activity and fishing production were decreased by changing of marine plankton composition and increasing of harmful marine organisms such as jellyfish, starfish and green laver bloom. Harmful red tides algae bloom and the deserted sea bottom often occurred due to increasing of sea water temperature and sea level rising in Korea. In this report, the cause and mechanism of the global warming phenomenon and it's effect on marine environment and marine ecosystem were introduced, and measures against global warming were suggested

In-situ observational works had been done for the investigation of Cochlodinium polykrikoides cell distributions and abundances off the coast of Busan, Jinhae Bay, and Namhae to Tongyong area in the early June, 2004. The surface water of 11 was concentrated by passing through ${\Phi}$ 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$ mesh and cellular morphological characteristics of the species in the sample was observed under light microscope equipped with digital camera on the vessel. C. polykrikoides cells showed highest cell numbers ranging from 60 to 660 cells/1 at Jinhae Bay. Cell counts at offshore area of Busan ranged from 45 to 330 cells/1. However, no cell was found in the water between Namhae and Tongyong. C. polykrikoides found during the cruise had a large bright red and round cellular materials in one cell and two-celled chain of C. polykrikoides. The red material decreased as C. polykrikoides formed long chains through cell divisions.

A variety of multimedia applications require multimedia database management systems to manage multimedia data, such as text, image, and video, as well as t support content-based image or video retrieval. In this paper we design and implement a content-based image retrieval system, BADA-IV/I$^2$R(Image Information Retrieval), which is developed based on BADA-IV multimedia database management system. In this system image databases can be efficiently constructed and retrieved with the visual features, such as color, shape, and texture, of image. we extend SQL statements to define image query based on both annotations and visual features of image together. A high-dimensional index structure, called CIR-tree, is also employed in the system to provide an efficient access method to image databases. We show that BADA-IV/I$^2$R provides a flexible way to define query for image retrieval and retrieves image data fast and effectively: the effectiveness and performance of image retrieval are shown by BEP(Bull's Eye Performance) that is used to measure the retrieval effectiveness in MPEG-7 and comparing the performance of CIR-tree with those of X-tree and TV-tree, respectively.

The mini-weather buoy using newly developed Weather Observation Through Ambient Noise (WOTAN) technology is developed. The buoy uses the cellular phone system for communication between the mini-weather buoy and the receiving station. The developed mini-weather buoy was deployed near Kijang and the comparison with land observation station was good: the rms error for wind speed estimation from underwater ambient noise was about 1 m/s. The only shortcoming of developed mini-weather buoy is that the buoy must be within the range of the cellular phone system, but it can be easily solved when satellite phone system is available.

MIDAS-II(Multiuser Index-based Data Access System II)는 한국전자통신연구원에서 개발한 바다 DBMS의 저장 시스템이다. MIDAS-II에서 데이터의 논리적 저장 단위인 파일을 저장하는 디스크 영역을 볼륨(volume)이라 부른다. 본 논문에선,s MIDAS-II가 대용량 멀티미디어 데이터 서버의 저장 시스템으로 가능하도록 광 디스크 쥬크박스 또는 테이프 라이브러리와 같이 복수 개의 자장매체(platter, 예를 들어 디스크 또는 카트리지 테이프)로 구성된 Tera 바이트 급의 3차 저장장치를 장착할 경우 이를 위한 볼륨 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 볼륨 구조에서는 3차 저장장치를 활용할 경우 발생되는 성능 저하를 극복하기 위하여 디스크 캐쉬 영역을 두고 있으며, 이를 활용하여 3차 저장장치에 저장된 데이터를 읽지 전용 모드로 검색하는 것 뿐 아니라 LOB을 비롯한 새로운 데이터를 생성하여 3차 저장장치에 저장하는 과정을 모두 효율적으로 지원한다. 그리고, 응용 프로그램에게 볼륨이 저장된 저장장치에 대한 투명성을 제공하기 위하여 기존 MIDAS-II API를 그대로 유지하였으므로 기존의 디스크 볼륨과 제안된 3차 저장장치 볼륨이 모두 기존 API를 통해 접근이 가능하다. 또한, 3차 저장장치의 각 저장매체로서 WORM의 사용도 가능하며, 각 저장매체는 데이터와 해당 메타 데이터를 함께 저장하여 저장매체로서의 독립성을 지니게 됨으로써 개별적으로 저장장치에/로부터 삽입/제거할 수 있게 하였다

Liquefied natural gas undergoes a process of vaporization to be supplied as city gas, which generates about 800 kJ/kg of cold energy. Currently, all of this cold energy is being dumped into the sea, resulting in a very serious energy waste from the point of view of energy recycling. In this study, a seawater desalination process that can utilize the wasted cold energy was proposed, and this process was optimized to analyze the specific power consumption and economic feasibility. As a result, the specific energy consumption of the proposed process was calculated as -5.2kWh/m³, and the production cost of the pure water was 0.148 USD/m³, confirming that it is superior to any other process developed so far.

Despite the acuuracy, stability, and economic feasibility of geomagnetic field-based indoor positioning, its applicability in construction sites needs to be thoroughly discussed due to the issue of distortion of geomagnetic fields around ferromagnetic objects such as rebars. In this study, the possibility of applying the geomagnetic field-based indoor positioning in construction sites was reviewed through the Student's t-test after measuring the changes in geomagnetic field values depending on the presence or absence of rebars. The statistical analysis revealed that there is a high probability (over 80%) of significant changes in geomagnetic field values when measuring points are located within 60cm from the rebars. On the other hand, the probability of minimal changes in geomagnetic field values is over 90% when measuring points are located more than 60cm from the rebars. This suggests the application of geomagnetic-based indoor positioning in construction sites would be possible if the issue of distortion in geomagnetic field values near rebars within 60cm is resolved.

The growing U.S.-China rivalry has placed the countries of Southeast Asia in exceedingly precarious positions. The Republic of Korea (ROK) likewise has been tasked with the challenge of "navigating the waters" between deepening geopolitical divides. It is in this context that the "New Southern Policy" (hereafter NSP) has become a key word in Korea's foreign policy circles. Through NSP, ROK aims to diversify its economic and security interests by strengthening ties with its southern partners, focusing on three key areas (termed as the "3 Ps"): People, Prosperity, and Peace. At the same time, the NSP seeks cooperation with other key diplomatic agendas such as the U.S.'s "Free and Open Indo-Pacific," rendering it crucial for the overall stability of the region. Considering such strategic significance, deeper analysis of the policy is more timely than ever. A brief assessment of the policy's outcome so far, however, reveals that relatively, the "Peace" pillar has been insufficient in achieving satisfactory outcomes. Here, this paper asks the question of: 1) How can the "Peace" pillar of South Korea's New Southern Policy be strengthened? Based on an analysis on the causes of the "Peace" pillar's weakness, this paper identifies counter-piracy cooperation as a solution. This paper then proceeds to answer the next question of: 2) How can ROK and ASEAN cooperate on counter-piracy, and how can these efforts be integrated into ROK's NSP? To answer the above question, this paper conducts in-depth case studies on ASEAN's and ROK's approaches to counter-piracy and identifies specific mechanisms of cooperation. In Chapter I, the paper begins with an overview of the NSP's strategic significance and an evaluation of its "Peace" pillar. Chapter II conducts a literature review on the causes of, and prescriptions for, the weakness of the "Peace" pillar. The paper then justifies why counter-piracy may be a solution. Chapter III examines ASEAN's and ROK's approaches to counter-piracy. By analyzing the general framework and each region's cases, the paper displays the strengths and weaknesses of each region's piracy responses. Based on this analysis, Chapter IV suggests ways to incorporate counter-piracy cooperation into the "Peace" pillar of the NSP. This research bears significance in that it identifies a specific area of cooperation (counter-piracy) to strengthen the "Peace" pillar of ROK's NSP. Such identification is based on a comprehensive study into the two parties' past and current experience in counter-piracy, making it contextual in nature. Furthermore, the study suggests practical mechanisms of cooperation, and considers ways of incorporation into the existing framework of NSP. This approach differs from existing literature that failed to generate case-specific, policy-oriented solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated piracy issues and deepened geopolitical divides. Turbulent seas such as these call for careful navigation. When it comes to promoting "peace," the key lies in combating the pirates that sail those very waters.

T.S. HANBADA has a relatively large hull and superstructures above the water line, so she has much of leeway or turning of bow with the effect of winds. Especially on berthing, unberthing and/or sailing on low speed, these effects take place more significant. Therefore, it was carried out the numerical calculation of the wind force and moments acting on the T.S. HANBADA, and then calculated the leeway angle and counter rudder angle with the relative wind direction and velocity. Also, it was suggested the maximum wind velocity which could be berthed or unberthed used by bow thruster and the tugboat operations in strong winds. These results will be great helpful to the vessels with large superstructures on ship's handling in harbour or tugboat operations.
