In this study, we estimated the distribution density of giant jellyfish in coastal waters of Korea in 2023 and compared the occurrence of giant jellyfish over four years. In May, the giant jellyfish were mainly distributed in the waters of the Yangtze River outflow, and in July, they were highly distributed in the west of Jeju Island and near the south coast of Korea. In addition, when comparing the distribution densities of giant jellyfish in Korea over four years, both acoustic and sighting surveys showed that the highest density of jellyfish occurred in 2021.

Density of chloride molten salts is an essential physical property in the reactor core design and thermal-hydraulic design simulation, especially in molten salt reactor (MSR) design currently under development in Korea. NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 pseudo-ternary system is one of the various candidate chloride-based salt mixtures because it has relatively-low melting point, very low vapor pressure, high thermal conductivity, etc. However, to the best of our knowledge, the density data of NaCl-MgCl2- UCl3 have not yet been measured or published worldwide, and therefore the ballpark figures of the density should be given for the preliminary reactor design. In our present study, the density estimation of NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 based on the pseudo-binary data, i.e., NaCl-MgCl2, MgCl2-UCl3, and NaCl- UCl3, reported in the literature previously were performed using the Redlich-Kister model. Binary interaction parameter for MgCl2-UCl3 was higher than that for NaCl-MgCl2 and lower than that for NaCl-UCl3. As an example, calculated density of 0.62 NaCl: 0.18 MgCl2: 0.20 UCl3 at 873 K was 2.578 g·cm−3. In our further study, the methodology using Redlich-Kister model will be applied to more complex multicomponent systems and to other physical properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, surface tension, etc.

바람에 의한 구조물의 진동은 관심대상이 되는 지배모드의 감쇠비에 매우 민감하다. 감쇠비의 발현 메커니즘의 불확실성 등 에 의해 감쇠비의 추정은 여전히 도전과제이며 보다 정확한 감쇠비 추정을 위한 연구가 지속되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스펙트럼 밀도 적분함수라는 새로운 개념을 이용하여 구조물의 감쇠비를 추정하는 기법을 다룬다. 모드 응답스펙트럼에 포함된 외부하중 스펙트럼을 적분에 의한 평균화효과에 의해 평탄화 한 후 이론적 적분함수와 비교하여 감쇠비를 구하는 원리이다. 감쇠비 추출 가능성 탐색을 위 해 이론적 스펙트럼 밀도 적분함수의 특성을 분석하였으며, 비고전감쇠 시스템이 가지는 혼성 모드응답에 적용할 수 있는 감쇠비 추 정법로 확장하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 감쇠비 추정법을 검증하기 위한 수치해석과 계측응답에 대한 적용이 이루어졌으며, 검증결과 제안된 감쇠비 추정법이 안정적이며, 신뢰도가 높은 감쇠비 추정이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Reliability analysis of the components frequently starts with the data that manufacturer provides. If enough failure data are collected from the field operations, the reliability should be recomputed and updated on the basis of the field failure data. However, when the failure time record for a component contains only a few observations, all statistical methodologies are limited. In this case, where the failure records for multiple number of identical components are available, a valid alternative is combining all the data from each component into one data set with enough sample size and utilizing the useful information in the censored data. The ROK Navy has been operating multiple Patrol Killer Guided missiles (PKGs) for several years. The Korea Multi-Function Control Console (KMFCC) is one of key components in PKG combat system. The maintenance record for the KMFCC contains less than ten failure observations and a censored datum. This paper proposes a Bayesian approach with a Dirichlet mixture model to estimate failure time density for KMFCC. Trends test for each component record indicated that null hypothesis, that failure occurrence is renewal process, is not rejected. Since the KMFCCs have been functioning under different operating environment, the failure time distribution may be a composition of a number of unknown distributions, i.e. a mixture distribution, rather than a single distribution. The Dirichlet mixture model was coded as probabilistic programming in Python using PyMC3. Then Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling technique employed in PyMC3 probabilistically estimated the parameters’ posterior distribution through the Dirichlet mixture model. The simulation results revealed that the mixture models provide superior fits to the combined data set over single models.

제한된 실험 데이터로부터 확률분포함수를 추정하기 위해서 KDE가 많이 사용되고 있다. KDE에 의한 분포함수는 대역폭 선택법에 따라서 실험 데이터에 대해 평활하거나 과대적합된 커널 추정치를 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 Silverman’s rule of thumb, rule using adaptive estimate, oversmoothing rule을 사용해서 각 방법에 따른 정확성과 보수적인 성향을 비교하였다. 비교를 위해서 단봉분포와 다봉분포를 가지는 실제 모델을 가정하고 통계적 시뮬레이션을 수행한 다음 다양한 데이터의 개수에 따른 추정된 분포함수의 정확도와 보수성을 비교하였다. 또한, 간단한 신뢰성 예제를 통해 대역폭 선택법에 따른 KDE의 추정된 분포가 신뢰성 해석 결과에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다.

In 2016 and 2017, population density of Monochamus saltuarius, a vector beetle species of pine wood nematode, was estimated from Korean white pine forests using mark-release-recapture. The beetle was captured by multi-funnel traps with pheromone lure. We collected 1,590, 185, and 268 individuals from Hongcheon (2016), Hongcheon (2017), and Yangpyeong (2017), respectively. Recapture rates in 2016 and 2017 were ranged from 2.38 % to 5.06 %, and estimated population densities during two years were ranged from 4,824 to 13,340 individuals per 1 ha. Because of low recapture rates in both years, population density of M. saltuarius in Korean white pine forests may be over-estimated.

PURPOSES: The density in uninterrupted traffic flow facilities plays an important role in representing the current status of traffic flow. For example, the density is used for the primary measures of effectiveness in the capacity analysis for freeway facilities. Therefore, the estimation of density has been a long and tough task for traffic engineers for a long time. This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of density values that were estimated using VDS data and two traditional methods, including a method using traffic flow theory and another method using occupancy by comparing the density values estimated using vehicular trajectory data generated from a radar detector. METHODS: In this study, a radar detector which can generate very accurate vehicular trajectory within the range of 250 m on the Joongbu expressway near to Dongseoul tollgate, where two VDS were already installed. The first task was to estimate densities using different data and methods. Thus, the density values were estimated using two traditional methods and the VDS data on the Joongbu expressway. The density values were compared with those estimated using the vehicular trajectory data in order to evaluate the quality of density estimation. Then, the relationship between the space mean speed and density were drawn using two sets of densities and speeds based on the VDS data and one set of those using the radar detector data. CONCLUSIONS: As a result, the three sets of density showed minor differences when the density values were under 20 vehicles per km per lane. However, as the density values become greater than 20 vehicles per km per lane, the three methods showed a significant difference among on another. The density using the vehicular trajectory data showed the lowest values in general. Based on the in-depth study, it was found out that the space mean speed plays a critical role in the calculation of density. The speed estimated from the VDS data was higher than that from the radar detector. In order to validate the difference in the speed data, the traffic flow models using the relationships between the space mean speed and the density were carefully examined in this study. Conclusively, the traffic flow models generated using the radar data seems to be more realistic.

The sound-speed and density contrasts are important factors in estimating the target strength (TS) of moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita). In this study, the sound-speed and density contrasts were measured using time-of-flight and neutral buoyancy methods, respectively. The sound-speed contrast of A. aurita was from 0.9966 to 1.0031 (mean±SD, 0.9999±0.0017) and no distinct differences in temperature or pulsation activity and weak were found. The density contrast was from 0.9994 to 1.0004 (mean±SD, 1.0000±0.0002). The density of A. aurita was substantially different but the density contrast of A. aurita was shown to be similar to that in the sampling location. The results can be used to estimate of TS of A. aurita by acoustic model.

본 연구는 두루미(Grus japonensis)의 이용분포 내에서 행동권 분석의 기법인 MCP(최소볼록다각형법), KDE(커널밀도측정법), LoCoH(국지근린지점외곽연결)를 이용하여 이용면적과 핵심서식지를 선정하였다. 또한, 각 기법의 차이와 의미를 고찰하도록 하였다. 두루미의 분포자료는 철원지역 2012년 2월 17일 조사자료를 사용하였다. MCP에 의한 두루미류 서식영역은 140km2이었다. KDE 분석에서 띠폭에 해당하는 h값을 1000m, CVh, LSCVh로 달리하여 KDE 등치선을 생성하였을 때, 핵심지역에 해당하는(Kernel 50% 이상) 면적은 33.3km2(KDE1000m), 25.7km2(KDECVh), 19.7km2(KDELSCVh)이었다. 결과적으로 띠폭에 대한 기본값(1000m)-CVh(554.6m)-LSCVh(329.9m) 순으로 변수를 작게 입력할 경우 핵심면적 개수는 늘어나고, 면적은 감소하였으며, 형태의 복잡성은 증가하였다. 두루미류의 KDE 분석에 의한 핵심지역의 선정에서 적합한 띠폭변수는 CVh 값인 것으로 판단되었다. LoCoH분석에서는 서식범위와 핵심지역(50% 등치선 이상의 지역)의 면적이 k값의 증가에 따라 증가하는 모습을 보였으며, 점차 큰 핵심지역으로 합쳐지는 모습을 나타내었다. 핵심지역을 도출하기에 적합한 k 값은 24로 나타났으며, 전체 개체군의 핵심지역은 18.2km2로 전체 서식면적의 16.5%를 차지하였다. 최종적으로, LoCoH 분석은 두 개의 큰 핵심서식지를 제시하였으며, 이것은 KDE에 의한 핵심지역에 비하여 작은 수의 핵심지역을 제시한 것이었다. 국내의 게재논문 및 발표자료를 포함한 연구에서 KDE는 대부분 기본설정으로 분석되었으며, 띠폭에 의한 변수를 고려한 것은 매우 드물었다. 따라서 띠폭변수를 명확히 제시하는 것이 요구되었다.

대부분의 국내 어장들은 반폐쇄성 내만에 집중되어 있으며, 장기 양식과 높은 입식밀도에 의한 연안오염에 매우 취약한 위치를 점하고 있기 때문에, 지속적인 양식을 위하여 어장관리가 매우 중요한 실정이다. 이를 위한 방안으로 적지선정과 생태학적 환경수용력을 함께 고려한 최적 입식밀도 산정이 될 수 있다. 거제한산만 굴양식장의 입식밀도 산정을 위하여 0.0이 비적지, 1.0이 적지임을 나타내는 서식적합도(Habitat suitability index)와 생태지표인 여과압 지표(Filtration pressure indicator)가 이용되었다. 거제만의 서식적합도는 0.75로서 한산만 0.53보다 높았으며, 이는 거제만이 굴양식에 좀 더 적합함을 의미한다. 생태지표는 연안특성에 따라 다른 입식밀도를 나타내었으며, 결과적으로 거제만의 굴양식장에 대하여 현 입식밀도와 비교하여 평균 40%, 한산만은 평균 60% 저감 입식하여야 생태학적 환경수용력을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 입식밀도의 산정은 현재 국내 양식업이 직면한 연안오염, 환경악화, 생산성 감소에 대한 해결책을 제공할 수 있으며, 이 연구는 어장관리 정책 설립에 대한 과학적 근거로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study shows that the distribution density of snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, was estimated using an underwater video monitoring system attached on the towing sledge. The field experiments were carried out at the coastal waters around Chuksan, East Sea, where ranged from 110 to 130m depth during September and October 2007. The sledge was towed for 40 minutes and the towing speed was controlled between 1.5 to 1.7 knot and each research areas were calculated to multiply towed distance by the detection width of the video monitoring system(1.2m), and then, distribution density of snow crab in each observations were estimated as a counted number of crab per 1,000m2. The result shows that their survey, taken between two months, reflected similar results during survey period, and the maximum and mean distribution densities in September estimated to be 77.0(number/1,000m2) and 19.9, respectively, and those of October were 36.0 and 21.8, respectively.
