Optimal Rescue Ship Locations Using Image Processing and Clustering
S S symmetry Article Optimal Rescue Ship Locations Using Image Processing and Clustering Cho-Young Jung 1 and Sang-Lok Yoo 2,* 1 Department of Marine Science and Production, Kunsan National University, Gunsan 54150, Jeonbuk, Korea; [email protected] 2 Mokpo Maritime University, Mokpo 58628, Jeonnam, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-61-240-7175 Received: 15 October 2018; Accepted: 11 December 2018; Published: 2 January 2019 Abstract: Currently, globalization of the world economy has also resulted in a shipping volume increase. However, this growth in maritime traffic has led to increased risk of marine accidents. These accidents have a higher probability of occurring in regions where geographical features such as islands are present. Further, the positioning of rescue ships in a particular ocean region with a high level of maritime activity is critical for rescue operations. This paper proposes a method for determining an optimal set of locations for stationing rescue ships in an ocean region with numerous accident sites, such as in the Wando islands of South Korea. The computational challenge in this problem is identified as the positioning of numerous islands of varying sizes located in the region. Thus, the proposed method combines a clustering-based optimization method and an image processing approach that incorporates flood filling to calculate the shortest pixel value between two points in the ocean that detours around the islands. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method reduces the distance between rescue ships and each accident site by 5.0 km compared to the original rescue ship locations. Thus, rescue time is reduced. -

A Predictive Model for Estimating Damage from Wind Waves During Coastal Storms
water Article A Predictive Model for Estimating Damage from Wind Waves during Coastal Storms Yeon Moon Choo , Kun Hak Chun, Hae Seong Jeon and Sang Bo Sim * Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Korea; [email protected] (Y.M.C.); [email protected] (K.H.C.); [email protected] (H.S.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-051-510-7654 Abstract: In recent years, climate abnormalities have been observed globally. Consequently, the scale and size of natural disasters, such as typhoons, wind wave, heavy snow, downpours, and storms, have increased. However, compared to other disasters, predicting the timing, location and severity of damages associated with typhoons and other extreme wind wave events is difficult. Accurately predicting the damage extent can reduce the damage scale by facilitating a speedy response. Therefore, in this study, a model to estimate the cost of damages associated with wind waves and their impacts during coastal storms was developed for the Republic of Korea. The history of wind wave and typhoon damages for coastal areas in Korea was collected from the disaster annual report (1991–2020), and the damage cost was converted such that it reflected the inflation rate as in 2020. Furthermore, data on ocean meteorological factors were collected for the events of wind wave and typhoon damages. Using logistic and linear regression, a wind wave damage prediction model reflecting the coastal regional characteristics based on 74 regions nationwide was developed. This prediction model enabled damage forecasting and can be utilized for improving the law and policy in disaster management. -

Introduction This chapter is an outline of a plan, either being executed already or are scheduled to be executed in future, which is carried out in both Wando county and Cheongsan-myeon in order to preserve and manage [Traditional Gudeuljang Irrigated rice terraces in Cheongsando]. This application is aimed to get certified by GIAHS held by FAO. Cheongsando Island is an island which is located 19.2km way from Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. Gudeuljangnon is distributed over the whole island and it is an unique irrigation farming system created to allow multi-dimensional administration of the land and the agricultural water through underground culvert. Structurally it resembles terraced rice paddy distributed across Asia, the technologies used to form the farm land and irrigation system which sustained this land is unique. -
High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Light-Polluted Areas with Spatial Effects in Korea
DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2016.17.1.361 High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Light-Polluted Areas with Spatial Effects in Korea RESEARCH ARTICLE High Incidence of Breast Cancer in Light-Polluted Areas with Spatial Effects in Korea Yun Jeong Kim1,3, Man Sik Park2, Eunil Lee1,3,4*, Jae Wook Choi1,4,5 Abstract We have reported a high prevalence of breast cancer in light-polluted areas in Korea. However, it is necessary to analyze the spatial effects of light polluted areas on breast cancer because light pollution levels are correlated with region proximity to central urbanized areas in studied cities. In this study, we applied a spatial regression method (an intrinsic conditional autoregressive [iCAR] model) to analyze the relationship between the incidence of breast cancer and artificial light at night (ALAN) levels in 25 regions including central city, urbanized, and rural areas. By Poisson regression analysis, there was a significant correlation between ALAN, alcohol consumption rates, and the incidence of breast cancer. We also found significant spatial effects between ALAN and the incidence of breast cancer, with an increase in the deviance information criterion (DIC) from 374.3 to 348.6 and an increase in R² from 0.574 to 0.667. Therefore, spatial analysis (an iCAR model) is more appropriate for assessing ALAN effects on breast cancer. To our knowledge, this study is the first to show spatial effects of light pollution on breast cancer, despite the limitations of an ecological study. We suggest that a decrease in ALAN could reduce breast cancer more than expected because of spatial effects. -

That is, the purpose of this dissertation research is to better understand how South Korean local government officials perceive the current practice, future prospects, and potential avenues for development of multi-lateral cross-boundary collaboration among the governments that they work for. To this purpose, I first conduct literature review on cross-boundary intergovernmental organizations, both in the United States and in other countries. Then, I conduct literature review on regional intergovernmental organizations (RIGOs). -

Cleisostoma Scolopendrifolium

Journal of Ecology and Environment (2019) 43:3 Journal of Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s41610-018-0102-3 and Environment SHORTCOMMUNICATION Open Access Pollination of Cleisostoma scolopendrifolium (Orchidaceae) by megachilid bees and determinants of fruit set in southern South Korea Hyun-Deok Son1, Hyoung-Tak Im2 and Sei-Woong Choi3* Abstract We investigated the pollinators of Centipede’sfootorchid(Cleisostoma scolopendrifolium) at five locations in southern Korea. Only one species of megachilid bee (Megachile yasumatsui) was observed at three of the sites (Mokpo, Haenam, and Wando). We assumed that the megachilid bee worked as a sole pollinator of C. scolopendrifolium based on the visiting behavior of the bees the attached pollinia. Fruits were observed at the three locations that bees visited: 74% fruit set at Mokpo, 59% at Wando, and 31% at Haenam. By contrast, at two of the locations where megachilid bees did not visit the plants (Naju and Jindo), there were no fruits set. The differences in fruit set rates at the three orchid populations where bees were observed appear to be related to bee abundance and flower visitation rate rather than to differences in flower abundance. The pollination interaction between C. scolopendrifolium and megachilid bees appears to involve sexual deception since only male bees were attracted to the flowers. The underlying mechanism involved in this interaction needs investigation.
