This work was conducted to assess the use of Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) as a technique to analyze nutritional constituents of Distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) and corn quickly and accurately, and to apply an NIRS-based indium gallium arsenide array detector, rather than a NIRS-based scanning system, to collect spectra and induce and analyze calibration equations using equipment which is better suited to field application. As a technique to induce calibration equations, Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used, and for better accuracy, various mathematical transformations were applied. A multivariate outlier detection method was applied to induce calibration equations, and, as a result, the way of structuring a calibration set significantly affected prediction accuracy. The prediction of nutritional constituents of distillers dried grains with solubles resulted in the following: moisture (R2=0.80), crude protein (R2=0.71), crude fat (R2=0.80), crude fiber (R2=0.32), and crude ash (R2=0.72). All constituents except crude fiber showed good results. The prediction of nutritional constituents of corn resulted in the following: moisture (R2=0.79), crude protein (R2=0.61), crude fat (R2=0.79), crude fiber (R2=0.63), and crude ash (R2=0.75). Therefore, all constituents except for crude fat and crude fiber were predicted for their chemical composition of DDGS and corn through Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy.

We have developed a near real-time flare alerting system which (1) downloads the latest GOES-l0 1-8 Å X-ray flux 1-min data by an automated ftp program and shell scripts, (2) produces a beep sound in a simple IDL widget program when the flux is larger than a critical value, and (3) makes it possible to do a wireless alerting by a set of portable transceivers. Thanks to the system, we have made successful Ha flare observations by the Solar Flare Telescope in Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory. This system is expected to be helpful for ground-based flare observers.

도내 중산간지대 농업개발 지원을 위해 필요한 기후자료를 수집하고 수집된 자료로부터 농업기후지수의 하나인 증발산위를 계산하는 과정에 대하여 연구하였다. 섬의 동쪽과 서쪽 중산간지대 기후를 대표할 수 있는 두 지점에 무인관칙소를 설치하고 퍼스컴통신 기술을 이용해 일사, 기온, 지온, 습도, 풍향, 풍속 및 항수자료를 수집하였다. 1989년 6월 한달간 수집된 자료를 이용해 두 지점간 일기상 특성을 분석하였으며, Penman식에 의해 증발산위값을 추정하였다. 상대적으로 풍부한 순폭사에너지와 남서기류에 의한 Fohn현상에 의해 섬의 동쪽 중산간지대가 서쪽에 비해 1-2도 가량 높은 기온을 유지하였다. 지온은 두 지점간에 차이가 없었으며 최고 및 최저온도 출현시각은 기온에 비해 4시간 지연되었다. 바람은 서쪽에서 강했으며 주야간 해륙풍 순환 현상도 동쪽에 비해 뚜렷하였다. 계산된 증발산위값은 동쪽이 서쪽에 비해 6% 높았으며 해안지대 추정값에 비해 30% 가량 높았다.
