To predict pollutants during the flood and dry season in Gwangyang Bay, the net-fluxes and pollutant material budgets of COD, T-N, and T-P were calculated in Gwangyang Bay using a 2-D hydrodynamic model. Calculating the net-flux for each area in Gwangyang Bay showed that the net-fluxes in regions IV, V, and VII were increasing, but those of regions II, III, and VI were decreasing. In budget calculations for COD, T-N, and T-P in Gwangyang Bay, it was estimated that during the dry season the COD is approximately 1.6 times higher than during the flood season. The T-N during the flood season is approximately 7 times higher than during the dry season. However, the material budget for T-P in Gwangyang Bay predicted that it is almost nonexistent. Moreover, the central part of Gwangyang Bay (Region IV) has the highest material budget of overall pollutants.

With the introduction of the tele-monitoring system (TMS) in South Korea, monitoring of the concentration of pollutants discharged from nationwide water quality TMS attachments is possible. In addition, the Ministry of Environment is implementing a smart sewage system program that combines ICT technology with wastewater treatment plants. Thus, many institutions are adopting the automatic operation technique which uses process operation factors and TMS data of sewage treatment plants. As a part of the preliminary study, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) analysis method was applied to TMS data to identify predictability degree. TMS data were designated as independent variables, and each pollutant was considered as an independent variables. To verify the validity of the prediction, root mean square error analysis was conducted. TMS data from two public sewage treatment plants in Chungnam were used. The values of RMSE in SS, T-N, and COD predictions (excluding T-P) in treatment plant A showed an error range of 10%, and in the case of treatment plant B, all items showed an error exceeding 20%. If the total amount of data used MLP analysis increases, the predictability of MLP analysis is expected to increase further.

This study was conducted in order to predict the vase life of cut lily 'Woori Tower' flowers using a non-destructive thermal imaging technique. It was found that the temperature of cut lily flowers was maintained at 20℃ and was slightly lower than the air temperature until they bloomed. On the 11th day, when flowers bloomed, the temperature of leaves and flowers was measured to be 18.75±0.38℃ and 19.23±0.32℃ respectively, and their difference with ambient temperature was over 3℃. The flower temperature increased slightly when the vase life of cut lily flowers ended, and the temperature difference between the air and leaf temperature (1.77℃) and between the air and flower temperature (1.39℃) got smaller. No visible aging symptom was observed, but it was found that the temperature had risen due to water losses and less functional stomata. The vase life of cut lily flowers can be predicted based on changes in temperature and it will be also possible to predict the potential quality and vase life of cut flowers before harvesting them in greenhouses.

In this part of the studies on dielectric dehydration of foamed fish-starch paste, qualify stability and shelf-life of the product of which the preparation formula and processing conditions were described in previous report (Lee et al, 1982) were determined by means of accelerated reaction test. The product was stored for 50 days under the conditions of temperatures at 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$ in steady state and various water activities of 0.44, 0.52, 0.65, and 0.75, respectively. The loss of available lysine, extent of TBA value, and development of browning during the storage were measured and reaction kinetically analysed to assess quality stability and shelf-life of the product for the storage at room temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. Extent of browning was accelerated with the increase of water activity and temperature marking the time to reach a limit of color and flavor deterioration, or to reach brown color density of 0.17 O.D./g at 420 nm, 106 days at aw=0.44, $35^{\circ}C$, and 41 days at aw=0,65, $55^{\circ}C$, These reaction rates resulted in a prediction of shelf-life, 130 to 110 days in the storage at aw=0.44 to 0.75, $25^{\circ}C$. The quality limit assessed by TBA values and sensory evaluation of rancidity was 87 days at aw=0.44, $35^{\circ}C$, and 30 days at aw=0.75, $55^{\circ}C$ which gave a predicted shelf-life, 128 to 113 days . at aw=0.44 to 0.75, $25^{\circ}C$ storage.

1998년부터 2008년까지 낙동강 물금지점의 수질, 수리 및 기상 인자를 통해 조류발생의 주요 영향인자를 평가하고 chlorophyll-a (chl-a) 예측 모델을 도출하였다. 분석 전 데이터의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 이상치를 제거하는 전처리 과정을 수행하였다. 국내 태풍영향기간을 산정하여 태풍영향기간에 포함된 데이터는 제외를 하였고 관리도 기법을 적용하여 이상치를 제거하였다. 이후 분석과정은 Method 1과 2 두 가지 방법으로 나뉘었다. Method 1은 전처리 과정을 거친 17개 항목의 데이터를 직접 이용하여 chl-a 예측모형을 도출 하였고, Method 2는 전처리 후 주요 영향인자를 도출하여 이를 통해 모형을 개발하였다. Method 2의 상관관계 분석결과 물금지역의 chl-a에 대한 주요영향인자는 수온, pH, DO, BOD, COD, T-N, $NO_3-N$, $PO_4-P$, 유량, 유속 및 수심으로 나타났다. Method 1, 2에 의한 chl-a 회귀모형은 각각 $R^2$ 값이 0.799 및 0.790의 높은 유의성을 나타내었고 2009~2010년의 데이터로 검증하였다. Method 1에 의한 chl-a 예측모형의 training period와 validation period의 RMSE 값은 각각 20.912와 24.423으로 나타났으며 Method 2를 통한 모델은 각각 21.422 및 26.277을 나타냈다. 예측 모형 도출 결과 Method 1 및 2 모두 BOD, DO 및 $PO_4-P$ 세 가지 인자가 주요한 역할을 한 것을 볼 때 향후 물금 지점의 조류 발생은 BOD, DO 및 $PO_4-P$를 중점적으로 관리할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

환경문제에 대한 유동시뮬레이션은 수체에서의 오염 물질의 거동에 대한 정확한 예측과 보다 나은 이해를 위해 국지적인 상세한 분석이 종종 요구된다. 이 연구는 연안의 개발 및 거대항만개발계획이 야기하는 연안지역의 변화가능성을 발견하기 위한 2차원흐름과 분산모형의적용을 다루고 있다. 유한요소법은 복잡한 연안의 기하학을 실제와 유사하게 다를 수 있는 능력과 유연성 때문에 매력적인 방법이라 할 수 있는데, 본 모형은 유한요소법과 Galerkin의 가중잔차법에 의한 접근을 그 기초로 하였고, 개발된 모형은 부산 신항만지구에 적용되었다. 모형의 결과는 관측수심과 대상해역의 4개 지점에 비교하였으며, 모의된 흐름 패턴은 건설장소로부터 멀리 떨어져서 흐름의 영향을 받지 않는 지점에서의 관측자료와 유사한 양상을 보였다. 이러한 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 이 모델이 항만계획과 관리 목적을 위한 다른 다수의 연구, 특히 흐름이 매우 복잡한 근해에 있어서의 오염확산과 흐름분석에 대해서 유용한 수단이 돌 수 있음을 알았다.

Fruit sweetness, as indexed by total soluble solids (TSS), and fruit acidity are key factors in the description of the fruit eating quality. Our group has been using short wave NIR spectroscopy (SW-NIR; 700-1100 nm) in combination with chemometric methods (PLS and MLR) for the non-invasive determination of the fruit eating quality (1,2). In order to further improve calibration performance, we have investigated SW-NIR spectra of sucrose and D-glucose. In previous reports on the band assignment for these sugars in the 1100-2500 nm spectral region (3-7), it has been established that change in concentration, temperature and physical state of sugars reflects on the shape and position of the spectral bands in the whole NIR region(5-7). The effect of change in concentration and temperature of individual sugar solutions and sugar spiked Juice samples was analysed using combined spectroscopic (derivative, difference, 2D spectroscopy) and linear regression chemometric (PLS, MLR) techniques. The results have been compared with the spectral data of a range of fruit types, varying in TSS content and temperature. In the 800-950 nm spectral region, the B-coefficients for apples, peaches and nectarines resemble those generated in a calibration of pure sucrose in water (Fig. 1). As expected, these fruits exhibit better calibration and prediction results than those in which the B-coefficients were poorly related to those for sugar.(Figure omitted).

The proper position of a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) is essential for the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) dose delivery. Task Group (TG) 142 provides a quality assurance (QA) procedure for MLC position. Our study investigated the QA validation of the mechanical leaf gap measurement and the maintenance procedure. Two $VitalBeam^{TM}$ systems were evaluated to validate the acceptance of an MLC position. The dosimetric leaf gaps (DLGs) were measured for 6 MV, 6 MVFFF, 10 MV, and 15 MV photon beams. A solid water phantom was irradiated using $10{\times}10cm^2$ field size at source-to-surface distance (SSD) of 90 cm and depth of 10 cm. The portal dose image prediction (PDIP) calculation was implemented on a treatment planning system (TPS) called $Eclipse^{TM}$. A total of 20 VMAT plans were used to confirm the accuracy of dose distribution measured by an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) and those predicted by VMAT plans. The measured leaf gaps were 0.30 mm and 0.35 mm for VitalBeam 1 and 2, respectively. The DLG values decreased by an average of 6.9% and 5.9% after mechanical MLC adjustment. Although the passing rates increased slightly, by 1.5% (relative) and 1.2% (absolute) in arc 1, the average passing rates were still within the good dose delivery level (>95%). Our study shows the existence of a mechanical leaf gap error caused by a degenerated MLC motor. This can be recovered by reinitialization of MLC position on the machine control panel. Consequently, the QA procedure should be performed regularly to protect the MLC system.

The continuous release of nutrient sources into natural water resource can be a continuing problem in eutrophication, as well as severe reductions in water quality. However, any desirable measure is not developed yet even though so many researches and efforts have been done to solve this problem. Forest as one of troublesome nonpoint sources may contributes most to nutrient loading, but the loading of N and P from forest in order to grasp the eutrophication potential of nonpoint sources has not been evaluated. The nutrient sources from the organic litter accumulated on the surface of forest soils can be a critical factor in continuity of eutrophication of a lake. The decomposition rate of litter can be estimated to predict release of N and P from the forest stand. The loss rate of nitrogen is complicated but depends in part upon the physical matrix of the element. Therefore, long-term nutrient budget and flux estimates at stand would be useful tools in calculating potential nutrient fluxes into the watercourses in a sustainable way. The present investigation can give insight to the actual situation of the eutrophication potentials of forest as the practical nonpoint sources.
