We present a photometric study of the star cluster system in the merging galaxy NGC 1487, based on the BI photometry obtained from the F450W and F814W images in the HST /WFPC2 archive data. We have found about 560 star cluster candidates in NGC 1487, using the morphological parameters of the objects. We have investigated several photometric characteristics of the clusters: color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), color distribution, spatial distribution, age, size and luminosity function. The CMD of the bright clusters with 18.5 < B < 24 mag in NGC 1487 shows three major populations of clusters: a blue cluster population with (B-I) ≤ 0.45, an intermediate-color cluster population with 0.45<(B-I) ≤ 1.55, and a red cluster population with (B - I) > 1.55. The intermediate-color population is the most dominant among the three populations. The brightest clusters in the blue and intermediate- color populations are as bright as B ≈18 mag (MB ≈ -12 mag), which are three magnitudes brighter than those in the red population. The blue and intermediate-color clusters are strongly concentrated on the bright condensations, while the red clusters are relatively more scattered over the galaxy. The CMD of these clusters is found to be remarkably similar to that of the clusters in the famous interacting system M51. From this we suggest that the intermediate-color clusters were, probably, formed during the merging process which occurred about 500 Myrs ago.

Recently many researchers contributed to the understanding of Quality Control System, but the use of economics in the design of quality assurance system is limited in treatment of the relationship between the average incoming quality level (or average process quality level) of the incoming lot and the average outgoing quality level of this lot. In this study, a traditional concept of sampling inspection plan for the quality assurance system is extended to a consideration of economic aspects in total production system by representing and analyzing the effects between proceeding and succeeding production process including inspection process. This approach recognizes that the decision at each manufacturing process (or assembly process), is to be determined not only by the cost and the average outgoing quality level of that process, but also by the input parameters of the cost and the incoming quality to the succeeding process. By analyzing the effects of the average incoming and outgoing quality, manufacturing or assembly process quality level and sampling inspection plan on the production system, mathematical models and solution technique to minimize the total production cost for a general product manufacturing system with specified average outgoing quality limit are suggested.

실제증발산 자료를 융합하기 위한 Modified Kling-Gupta efficiency Fusion (KGF)방법을 제시하였고, 인공위성 및 재분석 증발산 자료인 Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM), MODIS Global Evapotranspiration Project (MOD16)를 활용하여 Simple Taylor skill’s Score (STS)와 비교하였다. 한반도와 중국의 세가지 land cover type(i.e., cropland, grassland, forest)을 가진 flux tower에서 비교 검증을 실시하였다. 실제증발산의 융합 방법인 STS와 KGF로 계산된 가중치의 결과를 확인하면, cropland와 grassland에서 재분석 자료(GLDAS, GLEAM)가 높은 가중치 영향을 나타내지만, forest에서 융합 방법에 따라 가중치 영향이 다르게 나타났다. 전반적으로 실제증발산 융합 방법 적용 결과의 비교에서는 cropland에서는 융합에 사용된 자료에 비하여 높은 개선이 이뤄지지 않았지만, grassland와 forest 에서는 개선이 이뤄졌다. 두 방법 중 KGF의 결과가 STS의 결과에 비하여 약간 개선되는 결과를 나타내었다

본 연구에서는 비슬산 이중편파 Radar 자료와, GPM 위성자료 및 21개 (Korea Meteorological Administration, KMA) 지상강우자료를 활용하여 분포형 강우-유출 모형(KIneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Model2, KIMSTORM2)을 이용해 남강댐 유역(2,293 km2)을 대상으로 유출해석을 수행 하였다. 모형의 유출 해석은 2016년 10월 5일 02:00∼09:00 총 8시간 동안 최대강우강도 33 mm/hr, 유역평균 총 강우량 82 mm이 발생한 태풍 차 바(CHABA)를 대상으로 하였으며, Radar 및 GPM 자료와 조건부합성(Conditional Merging, CM) 기법을 적용한 Radar (CM-corrected Radar) 및 GPM (CM-corrected GPM) 자료를 각각 활용하여 결과를 비교하였다. 이 때, 공간 강우자료에 유출 검보정은 남강댐 유역 내 3개의 수위관측 지점(산청, 창촌, 남강댐)을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 모형의 매개변수 초기토양수분함량, 지표와 하천의 Manning 조도계수를 이용하여 검보정하였다. 유출 결과는 결정계수(Determination coefficient, R2), Nash-Sutcliffe의 모형효율계수(NSE) 및 유출용적지수(Volume Conservation Index, VCI)를 산정하였다. 그 결과 CM-corrected Radar, GPM 자료가 평균 R2는 0.96, NSE의 경우 0.96, 유출용적지수(VCI)는 1.03으로 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 최종적으로 CM 기법을 이용한 보정된 공간분포자료는 기존의 자료에 비해 시공간적으로 정확한 홍수 예측에 사용 될 것으로 판단된다.

강우는 물순환 시스템을 이해를 증가 시킬 뿐만 아니라, 효율적인 수자원 확보 및 관리에 있어서 가장 핵심적인 인자이다. 본 연구는 2015년을 대상으로 한반도에서의 92개의 ASOS 지점자료와 최근에 발사된 GPM 위성강우 자료의 비교를 통하여 활용가능성을 평가하였다. 또한 지점 자료의 장점과 인공위성 자료의 장점을 융합함으로써 보다 개선된 강우자료를 산출하기 위해 3가지의 상세화 방법(Geographical Differential Analysis, Geographical Ratio Analysis, Conditional Merging)들을 적용하였다. 이 연구에서 도출된 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) ASOS 자료와의 검증을 통해 GPM 강우자료가 약간 과대산정되는 편향을 가지고 있는 것을 확인하였으며, 특히 여름 기간에 오차가 높게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) Jackknife 방법을 통하여 각 합성방법에 대해서 검증하였을 때, 공간해상도가 높아짐에 따라서 오차가 줄어드는 것을 확인하였으며, 상세화 방법 중 conditional merging 방법이 가장 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.

최근 국지성 집중호우 및 급격한 기상변화로 인해 돌발홍수와 같은 기상재해의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 고해상도의 기상레이더 강수자료를 사용한 수공학 분야의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기상레이더 강수자료를 활용하는 목적은 기상레이더 강수자료가 제공하는 공간분포를 최대한 활용하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도 기상레이더 강수자료의 공간적 특성을 유지하면서 지상 강수자료의 양적특성을 극대화할 수 있는 조건부 합성기법을 보간법에 따라 분석 하였다. 기상레이더 강수자료와 지상 강수자료를 조건부 합성하기 위하여 Kriging, 역거리 가중법 및 Spline 보간법을 적용하였다. 조건부 합성결과는 지상 강수패턴을 현실성 있게 재현하였으며 추가적으로 보간법에 적용되지 않은 강수자료와 모형검증을 수행한 결과 조건부 합성을 통하여 생산된 공간적 강수정보의 수문학적 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Mapping is a fundamental element for robotic services. There are available many types of map data representation such as grid map, metric map, topology map, etc. As more robots are deployed for services, more chances of exchanging map data among the robots emerge and standardization of map data representation (MDR) becomes more valuable. Currently, activities in developing MDR standard are underway in IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. The MDR standard is for a common representation and encoding of the two-dimensional map data used for navigation by mobile robots. The standard focuses on interchange of map data among components and systems, particularly those that may be supplied by different vendors. This paper aims to introduce MDR standard and its application to map merging. We have applied the basic structure of the MDR standard to a grid map and Voronoi graph as a kind of topology map and performed map merging between two different maps. Simulation results show that the proposed MDR is suitable for map data exchange among robots.

This study is a critical analysis on the 10 Years (2002-2012) of the denominational activities since the 5 Districts were merged into one national district of the Church of the Nazarene in Korea. The purpose of this study is to search for an advanced way to promote Church of the Nazarene for effective church growth in the coming era in Korea. For this purpose it attempts to evaluate the efforts and results of the unification of the five districts into one in relation to history and church growth of the denomination. Indeed, the merging of the five districts into one was a historical event in the mist of divisions and conflicts of the churches and denominations in Korea. Also the merging event was a distinctive model for innovative cultural adaptation from the perspective of international Church of the Nazarene. This essay discovered some positive results from the unification, that enhanced the identity of the Nazarene Church, administrative consolidation for ordination process, church planting, and unified relations with the international church as well as Korea Nazarene University. However, still the unified church needs an innovative dimension of leadership system for effective church growth. This essay proposes that the pyramid model of the unified church needs to be transformed into an organic or post-hierarchical system. Already, the name of “International Headquarter of the Church of the Nazarene” was changed to “Global Ministry Center” to abolish the existing pyramid model of leadership toward organic model, which is the fundamental Biblical model of leadership for effective church growth. This essay insists that Nazarene Church in Korea also needs to work on having a less hierarchical system of the Church for effective church growth, that is one of the main movements of postmodern evangelical churches,

A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident such as collision and stranding from happening. Existing VTS has its limit. The virtual vessel traffic control system consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress based on the satellite data, remotely sensed data And it could be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If environmental stress values are simulated for the ship information derived from satellite data, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. Since optical sensor has a high spatial resolution, JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information. We present an algorithm of automatic identification of ship size and velocity. It lastly is shown that based on ship information extracted from JERS data, a qualitative evaluation method of environmental stress is introduced.
