With desires for safe food, there is growing concern that pesticide spray drift will expose people, plants, and the environment to pesticide residue and potential negative effects thereof. For highly efficient, safe spray application, technologies for measuring the spray drift should be developed and improved with some urgency. This study investigated the applicability of two optical particle counters (OPCs), which are mostly used to measure airborne particle mass concentration, for measurement of airborne pesticide spray drift. Experiments were conducted in a controlled laboratory and an ash tree orchard to evaluate the handiness and accuracy of two OPCs, OPC 1 and OPC 2. The experimental results indicated that the OPC 1 was better applicable to the measurement of spray drift in the field while the use of the OPC 2 was limited due to its narrow range of measurable droplet sizes. The readings of the OPC 1 produced highly accurate results ($R^2=0.9637$) compared to the actual spray drift. For better application of OPCs, this study suggests the OPCs should be positioned properly to inhale spray droplets of the appropriate size and concentration.

This study was conducted to prioritize land purchase in Hwapocheon wetland protection area by reflecting the conservation value of wetlands considering HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) for flagship species. As a result of this study, the flagship species, Oriental White Stork and Been Goose, which can represent the Hwapocheon wetland protection area, were selected through selection criteria and expert feedback. Based on the habitat requirements of the selected flagship species, SI(Suitability Index) for the flagship species was reviewed and the conservation value of wetlands was assessed. The conservation value of the wetlands was divided into five grades from very high to very low. The areas with high conservation value were mainly distributed around wetlands and waters in upstream and downstream of Hwapocheon wetland protection area. The land purchase priorities were divided into five grades by overlapping the thematic maps of the conservation value of wetlands, the economics, and the urgency of restoration. The arable lands which can disrupt wetland ecosystems are analyzed as priority areas where priority purchasing is required. Relatively well-preserved wetlands and areas have low land purchase priorities. This study is meaningful in that biodiversity is considered in land purchase priorities.

고속의 군용 항공기는 인명피해 최소화를 위해 생존 장비들과 경고 시스템으로 적의 위협 또는 내부 구성품 불량을 조종사가 파악하고 해결할 수 있어야 한다. 경고 전달은 디스플레이에 심볼 전시를 통한 시각적 방법과 통신 장비의 소리를 통한 청각적 방법으로 구분되는데, 청각적 방법이 반응 시간이 짧고 단순한 메시지 청취를 통해 조종사 혼란을 유발하지 않는다는 점에서 우월하다. 이에 본 논문은 군용 항공기용 음성/톤 경고 시스템의 효과적인 설계방법을 생명주기 관점에서 제시하고 평가하였다. 안전에 민감한 군용 항공기이므로 각 경고에 우선순위와 Inhibitible, Interruptible, Deactivatable의 세 가지 속성들을 적용하여 중대성과 긴급성을 반영했다. 그 결과 음성경고 재생까지 40ms가 소요되었으며, V모델 기반 개발 및 테스트를 통해 요구도를 모두 충족했고 제품 신뢰성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
