Remote Sensing data with ancillary ground-based meteorological data provides the capalility of computing threeof the four surface energy balance components(i.e. net radiation, soil heat flux and sensible heat flux) at different spatial and temporal scales. As a result, this enablis the estimation of the remaining term, latent heat flux. One of the practical applications with this approach is to produce evapotranspiration maps over large areas. This results could estimate and reproduce areal evapotranspiration over large area as much as several hundred sequare kilometers. Moreover, some calculating simulations for the effects of the land use change on the surface heat flux has been made by this method, which is able to estimate evapotranspiration under arbitracy presumed condition. From the simulation of land use change, the results suggests that the land use change in study area can be produce the significant changes in surface heat flux. This preliminary research suggests that the future research should involve development of methods to account for the variability of meteorological parameters brought about by changes in surface conditions and improvements in the modeling of sensible heat transfer across the surface atmosphere interface for partical canopy conditions using remote sensing information.

The Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) models have been developed for assessing agricultural management efforts and their effects on soil and water at the field scale as well as more complex multi-subarea landscapes, whole farms, and watersheds. National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wanju, Korea, has modified a key component of APEX application, named APEX-Paddy for simulating water quality with considering appropriate paddy management practices, such as puddling and flood irrigation management. Calibration and validation are an anticipated step before any model application. Simple techniques are essential to assess whether or not a parameter should be adjusted for calibration. However, very few study has been done to evaluate the ability of APEX-Paddy to simulate the impact of multiple management scenarios on nutrients loss. In this study, the observation data from experimental fields at Iksan in South Kora was used in calibration and evaluation process during 2013-2015. The APEX auto- calibration tool (APEX-CUTE) was used for model calibration and sensitivity analysis. Four quantitative statistics, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$),Nash-Sutcliffe(NSE),percentbias(PBIAS)androotmeansquareerror(RMSE)were used in model evaluation. In this study, the hydrological process of the modified model, APEX-Paddy, is being calibrated and tested in predicting runoff discharge rate and nutrient yield. Field-scale calibration and validation processes are described with an emphasis on essential calibration parameters and direction regarding logical sequences of calibration steps. This study helps to understand the calibration and validation way is further provided for applications of APEX-Paddy at the field scales.

The objective of this study is to evaluate hydrologic impacts of climate change according to downscaling methods using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model at watershed scale. We used the APCC Integrated Modeling Solution (AIMS) for assessing various General Circulation Models (GCMs) and downscaling methods. AIMS provides three downscaling methods: 1) BCSA (Bias-Correction & Stochastic Analogue), 2) Simple Quantile Mapping (SQM), 3) SDQDM (Spatial Disaggregation and Quantile Delta Mapping). To assess future hydrologic responses of climate change, we adopted three GCMs: CESM1-BGC for flood, MIROC-ESM for drought, and HadGEM2-AO for Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) national standard scenario. Combined nine climate change scenarios were assessed by Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI). SWAT model was established at the Mankyung watershed and the applicability assessment was completed by performing calibration and validation from 2008 to 2017. Historical reproducibility results from BCSA, SQM, SDQDM of three GCMs show different patterns on annual precipitation, maximum temperature, and four selected ETCCDI. BCSA and SQM showed high historical reproducibility compared with the observed data, however SDQDM was underestimated, possibly due to the uncertainty of future climate data. Future hydrologic responses presented greater variability in SQM and relatively less variability in BCSA and SDQDM. This study implies that reasonable selection of GCMs and downscaling methods considering research objective is important and necessary to minimize uncertainty of climate change scenarios.

라오스의 Houay Pano 유역은 상업적 조림으로 인해 2011년부터 2013년까지 급속한 토지이용 변화를 겪어왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 토지이용변화가 박테리아 거동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 이해하기 위해 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) 모형을 활용한 박테리아 거동 모델링을 수행하였다. SWAT 모형은 수치 표고 모델, 토양 특성, 토지 이용 등의 정보를 종합하여, 유역 내수량 및 수질의 변화를 모의할 수 있는 모형으로, 본 연구는 대표적인 분원성 지표 세균 (Fecal Indicator Bacteria)인 대장균 (Escheichia coli, E. coli)을 대상으로 모델링을 수행하였다. SWAT 모형은 지표면 위 박테리아를 1)식물 위, 2)토양 용액상, 3)토양 입자상으로 구분하여 모의한다. 각 상태로 분할된 박테리아는 소멸 (die-off), 씻김 (wash-off), 침투, 표면 유출을 통한 수계로의 이동 등의 단계를 통하여 유역 내에서 거동한다. 본 연구는 서로 다른 기후의 영향을 배제하기 위해 각 토지이용 시나리오를 (2011, 2012, 2013) 실제 기후 조건과 동일 기후(2011-2013 평균) 조건으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 실제 기후 조건에서 SWAT 모형은 표면 유출, 토사 유출, E. coli 거동에 대해 2011년부터 2012년까지 감소, 2012년부터 2013년까지 증가로 모두 동일한 양상을 모의하였다. 이는 강수량의 양상과 동일한 것으로, 강수량이 표면 유출의 양을 결정하고, 달라진 표면 유출에 따라 토사 유출과 E. coli 거동이 결정되기 때문이다. 하지만 동일 기후 조건에서는, E. coli 거동 동인인 표면 유출과 토사 유출이 비교적 일정해짐에 따라, 각 상태로 분할된 박테리아의 초기 부하량값이 E. coli 거동을 결정하는 주된 요인임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 초기 부하량 분할에 활용되는 엽면적 지수 (Leaf Area Index)와 분배계수 (BACTKDDB)의 정확도가 요구된다. 추가적으로 본 연구는 박테리아의 유입원인 비료 모델링과, LAI를 활용한 박테리아 초기 부하량 산정, 토양 특성 변수와 토지 이용 변수의 분리, 지하수를 통한 박테리아 거동 등을 중심으로 SWAT 모형의 한계점과 개선점을 제시하였으며, 본 연구 결과는 토지이용변화가 박테리아 거동에 주는 영향을 모형적으로 이해하고, 또한 추후 박테리아 모델링 개발에 도움을 줄 것으로 예상된다.

The homogeneity of the compacted ground was analyzed using drone-based remote terrain and gravity field data. Among the topographic elements calculated by the hydrological algorithm, the topographic curvature effectively showed the shape of the surface that occurred during the compaction process, and the non-uniformly compacted area could be identified. The appropriate resolution of the digital topography requires a precision of about 10 cm. Gravity field Interpretation was performed to analyze the spatial density change of the compacted ground. In the distribution of residual bouguer gravity anomaly, the non-homogeneously compacted area showed a different magnitude of gravity than the surrounding area, and the difference in compaction was identified through gravity-density modeling. From the results, it is expected that the topographic element and gravitational field analysis method can be used to evaluate the homogeneity of the compacted ground.

This study demonstrates the applicability of the FLO-2D for the influence analysis of the debris flow on expressway. To do this, the behavior of debris flow on the expressway was reproduced by applying the FLO-2D to actual generated debris flow. The study area is a part of the Deokyusan Service Area on the Daejon-Jinju Expressway, where traffic was blocked for 24 hours due to the debris flow in August 2005. Geographical analysis with GIS, hydrological analysis with HEC-HMS, and estimation of the amount of debris flow were carried out using field survey and soil property test data. Then, the optimum parameter combination of FLO-2D was selected through the parameter sensitivity analysis, and the behavior analysis of debris flow on expressway was applied. The comparison of the predictions with the observations shows the availability of FLO-2D for the behavior analysis of debris flow on the expressway.

지속적인 수질의 모니터링과 관리가 어려운 개발도상국의 경우, 모델링을 통한 병원균의 예측이 중요하다. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)은 유역 모델로 병원균의 거동을 모의하는데 널리 활용된다. 하지만 SWAT이 모의하는 in-stream 모듈의 경우, 소멸, 부유, 퇴적의 단계만을 고려하여 정확도가 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존 모듈에 hyporheic exchange와 생장 단계를 추가하여 모듈의 성능 개선 및 열대 산지 유역에서의 병원균의 거동을 모의하였다. 본 연구는 몬순 기후 및 산지 지형을 가진 라오스의 Houay Pano 유역을 대상으로 대장균 (Escheichia coli, E.coli)의 거동을 2011년부터 2013년까지 일 단위로 모의하였다. 기존의 SWAT 박테리아 모듈의 경우, 소멸 단계만을 가지고 보정하였을 때 모델은 대부분 0의 값을 가졌고, 부유 및 퇴적 단계가 추가 된 후에는 우기시 대부분의 모델값이 관측값의 95% 신뢰 구간에 포함되었으나 건기에는 농도가 여전히 낮게 모의됨을 확인 할 수 있다. 건기 시 낮게 모의된 농도를 증가시키기 위해, 온도에 따른 생장 단계를 추가하였으며, 이때 생장 속도는 설정된 최소-최대 생장 온도 사이에서 최대값을 가진다. 하지만 온도에 따른 생장은 열대 기후의 특성상 전 기간에 걸쳐 동시에 증가하여 건기에만 낮게 모의된 농도를 보완하는 데는 한계가 있었다. Hyporheic exchange는 강바닥에 임시로 저장된 박테리아의 양이 특정 유량에 의해서 수계로 유입되는 현상으로, 본 연구에서는 일정한 양의 hyporheic flow를 가정하여 모의하였다. 결과적으로 Hyporheic exchange를 통해 유입되는 적은 양의 E.coli는 기존에 타당하게 모의된 우기의 농도는 그대로 유지하되, 건기에 낮게 모의된 농도는 증가시켜 기존 SWAT 모듈의 한계점을 잘 보완한 것을 확인 하였다. 결론적으로, 기존의 SWAT 모델은 건기 시 낮은 농도의 E.coli를 모의하기에 한계를 보였으며, 전 기간에 걸쳐 높은 온도를 유지하는 열대 기후에서 생장 단계는 이러한 한계를 보완하기에 적합하지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 적은 양이 전 기간에 걸쳐 동일하게 유입되는 hyporheic exchange의 경우, 건기에 낮게 모의된 농도를 증가시켜 기존의 한계를 보완할 수 있었다.

Earthquakes can induce a large number of landslides and cause very serious property damage and human casualties. There are two issues in study on earthquake-induced landslides: (1) slope stability analysis under seismic loading and (2) debris flow run-out analysis. This study aims to review technical studies related to the development and application of earthquake-induced landslide models (seismic slope stability analysis). Moreover, a pilot application of a physics-based slope stability model to Mt. Umyeon, in Seoul, with several earthquake scenarios was conducted to test regional scale seismic landslide mapping. The earthquake-induced landslide simulation model can be categorized into 1) Pseudo-static model, 2) Newmark's dynamic displacement model and 3) stress-strain model. The Pseudo-static model is preferred for producing seismic landslide hazard maps because it is impossible to verify the dynamic model-based simulation results due to lack of earthquake-induced landslide inventory in Korea. Earthquake scenario-based simulation results show that given dry conditions, unstable slopes begin to occur in parts of upper areas due to the 50-year earthquake magnitude; most of the study area becomes unstable when the earthquake frequency is 200 years. On the other hand, when the soil is in a wet state due to heavy rainfall, many areas are unstable even if no earthquake occurs, and when rainfall and 50-year earthquakes occur simultaneously, most areas appear unstable, as in simulation results based on 100-year earthquakes in dry condition.

Streptomyces coelicolor is a gram-positive soil bacterium which is well known for the production of several antibiotics used in various biotechnological applications. But numerous proteins from its genome are considered hypothetical proteins. Therefore, the present study aimed to reveal the functions of a hypothetical protein from the genome of S. coelicolor. Several bioinformatics tools were employed to predict the structure and function of this protein. Sequence similarity was searched through the available bioinformatics databases to find out the homologous protein. The secondary and tertiary structure were predicted and further validated with quality assessment tools. Furthermore, the active site and the interacting proteins were also explored with the utilization of CASTp and STRING server. The hypothetical protein showed the important biological activity having with two functional domain including POD-like_MBL-fold and rhodanese homology domain. The functional annotation exposed that the selected hypothetical protein could show the hydrolase activity. Furthermore, protein-protein interactions of selected hypothetical protein revealed several functional partners those have the significant role for the bacterial survival. At last, the current study depicts that the annotated hypothetical protein is linked with hydrolase activity which might be of great interest to the further research in bacterial genetics.

Analytical models were developed and seismic behaviors were analyzed for a three-story stone pagoda at the Cheollyongsa temple site, which was damaged by the Gyeongju earthquake of 2016. Both finite and discrete element modeling were used and the analysis results were compared to the actual earthquake damage. Vulnerable parts of stone pagoda structure were identified and their seismic behaviors via sliding, rocking, and risk analyses were verified. In finite and discrete element analyses, the 3F main body stone was displaced uniaxially by 60 and 80 mm, respectively, similar to the actual displacement of 90 mm resulting from the earthquake. Considering various input conditions such as uniaxial excitation and soil-structure interaction, as well as seismic components and the distance from the epicenter, both models yielded reasonable and applicable results. The Gyeongju earthquake exhibited extreme short-period characteristics; thus, short-period structures such as stone pagodas were seriously damaged. In addition, we found that sliding occurred in the upper parts because the vertical load was low, but rocking predominated in the lower parts because most structural members were slender. The third-floor main body and roof stones were particularly vulnerable because some damage occurred when the sliding and rocking limits were exceeded. Risk analysis revealed that the probability of collapse was minimal at 0.1 g, but exceeded 80% at above 0.3 g. The collapse risks at an earthquake peak ground acceleration of 0.154 g at the immediate occupancy, life safety, and collapse prevention levels were 90%, 52%, and 6% respectively. When the actual damage was compared with the risk analysis, the stone pagoda retained earthquake-resistant performance at the life safety level.
