It is made from rice (referred to in English as "Korean rice wine") which gives it a milky, off-white color, and sweetness. It is made by fermenting a mixture of boiled rice and water, and is about 6.5–7% alcohol by volume. It has recently started to become more popular, especially with the younger generations and foreigner. “Dongdongju” is a drink very similar to “makgeolli”, and both are commonly imbibed alongside Korean pancakes called “pajeon” or “bindaetteok”. Additionally, “makgeolli” is used during ancestral rites in Korea. 12 For more information on EAFES 2010… 13 Welcome to SANGJU,SANGJU, KOREA!!KOREA!! 14.

  • Economic Assessment of Flood Control Facilities Under Climate Uncertainty: a Case of Nakdong River, South Korea
    sustainability Article Economic Assessment of Flood Control Facilities under Climate Uncertainty: A Case of Nakdong River, South Korea Kyeongseok Kim 1,* ID and Ji-Sung Kim 2 ID 1 School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03277, Korea 2 Hydro Science and Engineering Research Institute, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, Goyang-Si 10223, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2123-7940 Received: 6 November 2017; Accepted: 24 January 2018; Published: 25 January 2018 Abstract: Climate change contributes to enhanced flood damage that has been increasing for the last several decades. Understanding climate uncertainties improves adaptation strategies used for investment in flood control facilities. This paper proposes an investment decision framework for one flood zone to cope with future severe climate impacts. This framework can help policy-makers investigate the cost of future damage and conduct an economic assessment using real options under future climate change scenarios. The proposed methodology provides local municipalities with an adaptation strategy for flood control facilities in a flood zone. Using the proposed framework, the flood prevention facilities in the Nakdong River Basin of South Korea was selected as a case study site to analyze the economic assessment of the investments for flood control facilities. Using representative concentration pathway (RCP) climate scenarios, the cost of future flood damage to 23 local municipalities was calculated, and investment strategies for adaptation were analyzed. The project option value was determined by executing an option to invest in an expansion that would adapt to floods under climate change. The results of the case study showed that the proposed flood facilities are economically feasible under both scenarios used.

However, all of 4 bikesharing programs do not necessarily become a sustainable transportation mode. Two 5 bikesharing programs, Nubija and TA-SHU, in Korea have similar historical backgrounds, 6 but present completely distinctive features as a transportation mode.

Running Title: A Living Treatment Support Center for COVID19 Title: A Suggestion from South Korea for Treatment of Mild or Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infected Patients: Living and Treatment Support Center Authors: Sun Young Lee1, EunKyo Kang1, Hyemin Jung, Min Sun Kim, Belong Cho, and Yon Su Kim Author affiliation: Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea (S.Y. Lee, E. Kang, H. Jung, M.S. Kim, B. Cho, Y.S. Kim) Abstract With the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is a need for efficient management of patients with mild or no symptoms, which account for the majority. The aim of this study is to introduce the structure and operation protocol of a living and treatment support centre (LTSC) operated by Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea. The existing accommodation facility was converted into a 'patient centre' where patients was isolated. A few Medical staff here performed medical tests and responded to emergencies. Another part of the LTSC was 'remote monitoring centre'. In this center, patients’ self-measured vital signs and symptoms were monitored twice a day, and the medical staff staying here provided video- consultation via a smartphone.

The Commission, launched in December 2005, has strived to reveal the truth behind massacres during the Korean War, human rights abuses during the authoritarian rule, the anti-Japanese independence movement, and the history of overseas Koreans. It is not an easy task to seek the truth in past cases where the facts have been hidden and distorted for decades.

  • Dissertation Optimization of Sangju Weir
    DISSERTATION OPTIMIZATION OF SANGJU WEIR OPERATIONS TO MITIGATE SEDIMENTATION PROBLEMS Submitted by Hwa Young Kim Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Pierre Y. Julien Darrell G. Fontane Christopher I. Thornton Sara L. Rathburn Copyright by Hwa Young Kim 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT OPTIMIZATION OF SANGJU WEIR OPERATIONS TO MITIGATE SEDIMENTATION PROBLEMS The Four River Restoration Project (FRRP) in Korea was completed by the Korean Government in 2013. Through this project, eight weirs were constructed along the Nakdong River, which have altered the river regime from a natural environment to post-weir conditions. The construction of the consecutive weirs and excavation along the Nakdong River changed many channel characteristics such as longitudinal slope, cross-sectional area, water stage which led to changes in erosion and sediment transport patterns. It is now necessary to assess the sedimentation problem upstream of the weirs and seek a way to mitigate the problem. Firstly, sedimentation is partly linked to the current weir operation rules. There are multiple purposes, when it comes to reservoir operations, and the various interests include: (1) flood control, (2) dredging, (3) hydropower production, (4) water supply, and (5) environment, including fish passage, recreation, tourism and downstream turbidity. Thus, introducing optimization techniques for reservoir operations is expected to mitigate sedimentation problems for complex multi-purpose weirs. The study site of Sangju Weir has been selected for this study because it is a representative site for these types of problems and because sufficiency and availability of data.

  • Multiobjective Analysis of the Sedimentation Behind Sangju Weir, South Korea
    Case Study Multiobjective Analysis of the Sedimentation behind Sangju Weir, South Korea Hwa Young Kim, Ph.D., M.ASCE1; Darrell G. Fontane, M.ASCE2; Pierre Y. Julien, M.ASCE3; and Jai Hong Lee, Ph.D., S.M.ASCE4 Abstract: This paper presents a new multiobjective approach to solve sedimentation problems behind weirs and low-head dams. The multi- criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework is used to improve reservoir operation rules for Sangju Weir in South Korea. A series of stage and discharge constraints can be developed to include consideration for reservoir sedimentation, hydropower generation, flood control, water supply, irrigation and drainage, and environment. Seasonally changing operation rules can help mitigate reservoir sedimentation while improving hydropower production, water supply, water quality, and environmental issues. Based on a 22-year daily reservoir operation simulation, improved operation rules to mitigate reservoir sedimentation include: (1) a nonflood season stage kept high (EL 47.0 m); (2) a flood season stage between EL 47.0 m and EL 44.5 m depending on the magnitude of the upstream flow discharge; and (3) gates should be opened during floods (Q > 600 m3=s).

Introduction The construction of consecutive weirs and excavation along ma- jor rivers changed many characteristics of alluvial rivers like the In Korea, the Four River Restoration Project (FRRP) was initiated Nakdong River. Significant changes in channel morphology such in 2009 to improve flood control, restore the river ecosystems, and as longitudinal slope, cross-sectional area, and water stage led to provide drought relief (Cha 2011).
