본 연구는 8월에 한반도를 우회하며 동해상으로 빠져나간 2018년 제 19호 태풍 Soulik과 서해상으로 북진하여 통과한 2020년 제 8호 태풍 Bavi을 통해 태풍 유입 전‧후에 따른 한반도 해역별 수온 변동성을 분석하였다. 분석자료는 국립수산과학원 실시간 수온 자료와 수온관측소 근처 AWS의 바람자료 및 NOAA/AVHRR 위성 수온자료를 활용하였다. 분석 결과 이동경로가 다른 태풍이 한반도를 통과할때 동해에서는 풍속과 풍향에 따라 수온의 상승(북풍)과 하강(남풍)이 반복적으로 발생하였는데 특히 태풍 Soulik 유입 시 10 ℃ 안팎의 급격 한 수온 하강을 보였다. 서해는 태풍 Bavi의 중심부가 통과되면서 서해 일부 해역에서 수온이 상승되었고, 차가운 물덩어리가 존재했던 남 해 일부 해역에서도 태풍 Bavi의 이동으로 따뜻한 수온이 유입되어 평년 수온으로 회복된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 태풍 유입시 서해와 남해 는 지형적‧환경적 조건으로 인해 각 해역별 특성에 맞게 수온 변동이 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 태풍으로 인한 한반도 해역별 수 온 변동을 해석함으로써 이상기후에 따른 양식 생물의 부정적인 영향을 최소화하고 해역별 수산재해의 피해대응 전략을 수립하는데 기여 할 것으로 사료된다.

소형 선박(<499 GT)이 전체 선박의 46%를 지배하고 있어 상대적으로 많은 CO2 배출가스를 가지고 있다고 결론지을 수 있다. 최 적의 Trim 조건에서 운전하면 선박의 저항을 감소시킬 수 있어 온실가스가 적게 발생할 수 있다. Trim을 최적화하는 가장 저렴한 방법 중 하 나는 최적의 Longitudal Center of Gravity(LCG)를 얻기 위해 무게 분포를 조정하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소형 선박의 저항에 대한 LCG 변화의 영향을 경험적 및 수치적 해석을 통해 연구하고자 한다. 선체를 설계하는 Savitsky 경험식은 Maxsurf Resistance의 방법으로 사용 된다. 수치해석에는 STAR-CCM+ 상용 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 소프트웨어가 사용되지만 최종적으로 선박 설계 과정 이후 최적의 LCG를 얻기 위해 전체 저항을 비교한다. 결론적으로 Froude Number 0.56에서는 수치해석에 의해 전체 길이(LoA) 46.2%에서 최적의 LCG를 달성하고 Froude Number 0.63에서는 43.4% LoA를 달성하여 29.2% LoA에서 기준점에 비해 최대 41.12% - 45.16%의 상당한 저항 감소를 얻을 수 있다.

Throughfall (TF)—as a diffusive hydrological water flux—significantly affects ecohydrological and biogeochemical processes within forest ecosystems. Recent investigations have revealed the impact on TF generation processes within unmanaged coniferous plantations of under-canopy structures, particularly those laden with dead branches, as well as upper-canopy structures. However, spatiotemporal variations in TF in such plantations remain unexplored. We investigated these variations in TF in a 33-year-old unmanaged Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Endl.) plantation, laden with dead branches, with a high stand density (SD) of 2,500 stems ha−1. Over a two-year period (May 2017 to May 2019), we conducted weekly TF measurements using 28 manual-type TF collectors. We compared the present TF ratio and canopy water storage capacity (S) with those of previous investigations conducted on Japanese cypress plantations. Moreover, we assessed key indices contributing to spatiotemporal TF variations (canopy cover: CC and distance to the nearest stem: TFd) and potentially influential dead branch indices (number of dead branches: TFdb and vertical spacing length on a stem: TFs) to elucidate TF spatial patterns. The results showed that the TF ratio was notably lower than that in previous studies (n = 13), with SD (r = –0.92, p < 0.001) and S (r = –0.87, p < 0.001) emerging as key influential factors among other stand-structure parameters. Spatial TF patterns exhibited a decreasing trend as the gross rainfall (GR) increased. Temporal stability was not significantly associated with CC (r = 0.120, p = 0.544), TFd (r = 0.068, p = 0.731), TFdb (r = 0.211, p = 0.281), or TFs (r = 0.206, p = 0.292) for any of the TF collectors. These findings underscore the important role of GR in determining the spatial variation of TF. Collectively, our results contribute to an enhanced understanding of TF spatiotemporal heterogeneity in unmanaged Japanese cypress plantations with dead branches.

To understand the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of zooplankton and the environmental factors influencing zooplankton abundance in Gomso Bay, major harvesting area of Manila clam (Venerupis philippinarum) in South Korea, zooplankton sampling was conducted four times in autumn (October 2022), winter (January 2023), early spring (March 2023), and spring (May 2023). Among the environmental factors of Gomso Bay, water temperature, chlorophyll a concentration (Chl-a), dissolved oxygen (DO), and pH observed different patterns, while salinity and suspended particulate matter (SPM) showed no significant statistical differences between the survey periods. The zooplankton in Gomso Bay occurred 33, 29, 27, and 29 taxonomic groups during each respective survey period. In October 2022 and May 2023, arthropod plankton were dominated, while in January and March 2023, protozoa were primarily dominant. Among the Arthropods, copepods including Acartia hongi, Paracalanus parvus s. l., Corycaeus spp., and Oithona spp. commonly found along Korean coastal areas of the Yellow Sea, were dominated. Cluster analysis based on zooplankton abundance indicated a single community (stable condition) in each season, attributed to low dissimilarity distances, while three distinct clusters (autumn, winter-early spring, spring) between seasons indicated a highly seasonal environment in Gomso Bay.

The levels of Indoor radon can increase in newly built apartments that mainly use construction materials such as concrete. However, radon measurement in newly built buildings has only been implemented recently, and there is a lack of sufficient data for radon management purposes. This study aimed to determine the levels of indoor radon in newly built apartments by regions, sizes of household, and floor (lower, middle, upper floor), and to explore the trend of radon reduction by time according to ventilation methods. Indoor radon was measured in 48 households in four regions (Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do). Measurements were performed for 48 hours and 24 hours under closed and ventilated conditions using real-time measurement devices FRD400 and RAD7, respectively. To analyze changes in radon concentration by floors, data were collected by dividing households into lower, middle, and upper floors according to their vertical height. The concentrations of indoor radon ranged from 12.1 Bq/m3 to 559.0 Bq/m3 when windows were closed and 12.0 Bq/m3~500.0 Bq/m3 when ventilated (including both mechanical and natural ventilation). On average, the concentration of closed conditions of household when sealed (arithmetic average 185.3 Bq/m3) was 1.5 times higher than the concentration during ventilation (including mechanical and natural ventilation: 123.8 Bq/m3), and around three times higher than the average for mechanical ventilation (65.7 Bq/m3). It was found that the indoor radon concentration statistically increased as the height increased and the size of the house became smaller. Typically, it took 7 to 8 hours to exceed the standard of 148 Bq/m3 after windows were closed. It decreased to less than 148 Bq/m3 within 3 to 4 hours after operating the mechanical ventilation system. However, in the case of natural ventilation, it takes more than 24 hours to reach below the standard value, and the concentrations stagnated after 24 hours. In conclusion, radon concentration in narrow spaces can be relatively high if ventilation is not sufficient due to the nature of apartments with wall-type structures. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare various radon reduction measures according to floor, size, and ventilation methods.

Long term variations of fish assemblage in the coastal waters of Bukchon-ri were determined using samples collected by trammel net from 2012 to 2022. Water temperature increased by 0.4℃ in 2022 that was less then 2012. During the survey period, a total of 95 species (53 families and 15 orders) of fishes were identified, Scorpaeniformes (five families and 22 species) and Perciformes (25 families and 39 species) accounted for 73% of the total number. The number of species was higher in summer than winter, showing a peak in summer at 66 species and lower in winter and autumn at 45 species. The number of individuals and the biomass peaked in summer at 1,238 individuals and 280.1 kg, and were the lowest in autumn at 597 individuals and 155.4 kg. The annual diversity index, evenness index and richness index were appeared 2.11-2.80, 0.64-0.80 and 4.70-7.34 at each years. The dominance index were appeared highest in 2014 while 2021 were appeared the lowest in 2017. The subtropical fishes were identified total of 38 species (40.0%) and the number of species was higher in 2022 at 22 (52.4%) species and lower in 2015-2017 at each 10 (31.3-37.0%) species. The dominant species of subtropical fishes were appeared rabbit fish (Siganus fuscescens), boxfish (Ostracion immaculatus), smallscale blackfish (Girella melanichthys), flag fish (Goniistius zonatus), stripey (Microcanthus strigatus), rock porgy (Oplegnathus punctatus), and bluestriped angelfish (Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis) in study sites.

This study aimed to assess and determine the optimal model for predicting the full bloom date of ‘Fuji’ apples across South Korea. We evaluated the performance of four distinct models: the Development Rate Model (DVR)1, DVR2, the Chill Days (CD) model, and a sequentially integrated approach that combined the Dynamic model (DM) and the Growing Degree Hours (GDH) model. The full bloom dates and air temperatures were collected over a three-year period from six orchards located in the major apple production regions of South Korea: Pocheon, Hwaseong, Geochang, Cheongsong, Gunwi, and Chungju. Among these models, the one that combined DM for calculating chilling accumulation and the GDH model for estimating heat accumulation in sequence demonstrated the most accurate predictive performance, in contrast to the CD model that exhibited the lowest predictive precision. Furthermore, the DVR1 model exhibited an underestimation error at orchard located in Hwaseong. It projected a faster progression of the full bloom dates than the actual observations. This area is characterized by minimal diurnal temperature ranges, where the daily minimum temperature is high and the daily maximum temperature is relatively low. Therefore, to achieve a comprehensive prediction of the blooming date of ‘Fuji’ apples across South Korea, it is recommended to integrate a DM model for calculating the necessary chilling accumulation to break dormancy with a GDH model for estimating the requisite heat accumulation for flowering after dormancy release. This results in a combined DM+GDH model recognized as the most effective approach. However, further data collection and evaluation from different regions are needed to further refine its accuracy and applicability.

This paper examines how consumers evaluate digital products with multiple Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs), which are blockchain-enabled cryptographic assets that represent proof-of-ownership for digital objects. The study predicts that people prefer fractioned NFTs (unique fractions of a digital object) versus duplicated NFTs (identical digital objects with distinct numbers) due to their preference for uniqueness. The study also examines the moderating role of product attributes, predicting that preferences for fractioned NFTs will be reduced when the product provides unique aspects, such as a serial number.

This paper is written as a follow-up observations to reinterpret the radial velocity (RV) of HD 36384, where the existence of planetary systems is known to be ambiguous. In giants, it is, in general, difficult to distinguish the signals of planetary companions from those of stellar activities. Thus, known exoplanetary giant hosts are relatively rare. We, for many years, have obtained RV data in evolved stars using the high-resolution, fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO). Here, we report the results of RV variations in the M giant HD 36384. We have found two significant periods of 586 d and 490 d. Considering the orbital stability, it is impossible to have two planets at so close orbits. To determine the nature of the RV variability variations, we analyze the HIPPARCOS photometric data, some indicators of stellar activities, and line profiles. A significant period of 580 d was revealed in the HIPPARCOS photometry. H𝛼 EW variations also show a meaningful period of 582 d. Thus, the period of 586 d may be closely related to the rotational modulations and/or stellar pulsations. On the other hand, the other significant period of 490 d is interpreted as the result of the orbiting companion. Our orbital fit suggests that the companion was a planetary mass of 6.6 𝑀J and is located at 1.3 AU from the host.

본 연구는 모형선박의 횡방향 무게분포를 변화시키면서 횡요주기 및 관성모멘트에 의한 GM을 추정하고 경사시험으로 계측되 는 GM 값과 비교한다. 그 과정에서 각 수치를 분석하여 관계성을 파악한다. 실험 및 비교에 사용된 선박의 종류는 3종류로 7톤급, 20톤급 어선과 KVLCC의 모형선을 사용하였다. 실험은 스윙프레임 테스트와 자유 횡요 감쇠테스트를 수행하여 관성모멘트와 횡요주기를 계측하 고, 경사시험으로 GM을 계측하였다. 관성모멘트와 횡요주기로 추정된 GM과 경사시험으로 구해진 GM은 선박의 무게 분포 변화에도 동 일한 경향을 보였지만, 경사시험에서 구해진 GM이 더 작은 값을 보였다. 따라서 GM 추정 시에 관성모멘트나 횡요주기 외에도 추가적인 보정 계수나 파라미터가 필요하다고 판단된다. 추후 무게중심을 변화시켜 추정 GM과의 관계를 분석하여 보정 계수를 산출할 계획이다.

This study gathered basic information on the development of Jiu-Jitsu uniforms suitable for players in Korea. Detailed data were collected between December 20th and December 30th, 2022 on 21 selected brands sold in online shopping malls. For each, information was recorded on the production country, product type, price, colors, material, and sizing system. A total of 612 datasets were analyzed using frequency analysis, cross-tabulation, and Chi-square tests. Jiu-Jitsu uniforms were classified as either standard or limited edition. Limited edition uniforms were more expensive than regular uniforms. International brands had a higher price range than domestic brands. The most commonly used colors for Jiu-Jitsu uniforms were the regulation colors associated with the sport: white, black, and blue. Domestic brands were more likely to use non-regulation colors than international brands. The material used for the top half of the uniform was predominantly pearl weave, while the bottom half was usually ripstop. International brands used a more diverse range of materials than domestic brands. The Jiu-Jitsu uniform sizing system incorporated a range of sizes between A00 and A6. While sizing designations differed according to the established sizing systems of different countries, the sizes remained the same, as did the range of sizes available. Where size guides were provided, height and weight were used to help the customer determine the appropriate size. The dimensions of each size varied between brands. Overall, we found that international brands offer a more diverse range of Jiu-Jitsu uniform designs than domestic brands.

Fish samples were collected by a set net from April to December 2020 at the coastal waters off Tongyeong, Korea to determine fish species composition and seasonal variation. A total of 330,675 fish (1,032,578 g) representing 56 species belonging to 39 families were collected during the sampling period. The dominant species were Engraulis japonicus, Trachurus japonicus and Trichiurus japonicus, which accounted for 98.1% of the total number of individuals and 87.5% of the total biomass collected. E. japonicus and Chelidonichthys spinosus appeared every month off the coast of the Tongyeong. Cluster analysis based on the number of individuals of fish were classified into two groups at the dissimilarity level of 57%, and the results of ANOSIM analysis revealed significant differences in community structure among the two groups

동해연안의 반폐쇄성 해역인 영일만에서 고주파해양레이더(HF-Radar)로 측정된 표층 해수유동 자료를 활용하여 1)바람과 수평 적인 해수유동 사이의 상관성을 파악하고 2)수직적으로 조밀한 간격의 층별 수온시계열 자료와 연계하여 수평적 및 수직적 해수유동의 특성을 파악하였다. 시계열 관측기간 중 영일만 해역의 전역에 걸쳐 북동풍이 우세하게 나타났을 때 표층부터 저층까지 수온의 급격한 상승이 동반되었다. 또한 표층의 장주기 해수유동에서도 풍향과 유사한 방향의 흐름이 뚜렷하게 관측되었다. 바람과 표층 해류 사이의 지 연상관 분석을 통해 영일만에 북동풍의 바람이 불기 시작하여 일정하게 지속된다면 짧은 시간(1 ~ 2시간) 내에 남서향의 표층 해류가 발 생되는 것을 확인하였다. 일평균된 장주기 표층 해류로부터 수렴과 발산을 계산하였고 이를 통해 층별 관측지점에서 발생한 두 번의 급 격한 저층수온 상승이벤트가 모두 영일만의 북동풍과 연관된 표층 해수(상대적 고온수)의 수렴(침강) 현상으로 인해 나타난 것으로 판단 하였다.
