참굴에 다환성방향족탄화수소(PAHs)의 축적성과 이 물질들이 미치는 독성을 평가하기 위해 해양환경에서 빈번히 검출되는 PAHs 중의 하나인 fluoranthene을 사용한 모델연구를 수행하였다. Fluoranthene을 0.01-1ppm의 농도로 2주간 참굴에 노출시켰을 때 참굴 조직내의 fluoranthene의 농도는 노출기간 및 노출농도에 비례하여 최고 40-70배까지 증가하였다. 소화맹낭과 폐각근의 지질 과산화물가는 노출기간 및 노출농도에 관련하여 현저히 증가하였으며 수용성단백질의 함량은 노출기간이 길어짐에 따라 서서히 감소하였다. 그러나 glycogen 함량, nucleoside/nucleotide, DNA 및 RNA 함량은 변화하지 않았다. 이 결과로 fluoranthene은 굴의 조직내로 원활하게 축적함을 확인하였다. 또한 과산화지질의 함량은 fluoranthene에의 오염에 대해 신속히 반응하는 지표의 하나로 추정되며 수용성단백질의 감소도 비록 시간적으로 다소 둔감하기는 하나 또 다른 지표가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Adhesive shear strengths of the established adhesives and the alternative adhesives were evaluated and their chemical structures were analyzed in order to investigate the possibility of replacing the established adhesives with the alternative adhesives applicable to the seeker for the guided missiles. Two types of the adhesives such as the structural adhesives and the sealant adhesives were considered. Those adhesives were exposed to the combined environmental factors consisting of temperature, moisture and ultraviolet over 1000 hours. Adhesive shear test was conducted to evaluate adhesive shear strengths and ATR FT-IR was utilized to investigate chemical structures. According to the results, the adhesive shear strengths of the alternative adhesives revealed higher than those of the established adhesives. Also the alternative adhesives were more stable to the combined environmental condition than the established adhesives. Therefore, it is found that the established adhesives were able to be replaced by the alternative adhesives.

Purpose: Although the working environment is measured at the construction site, only a few noise and vibration that are typically exposed for each process are performed without measuring the working environment by segmenting the exposed harmful factors. Therefore, it is intended to find the harmfulness of silicon oxide dust, which is most exposed at construction sites, and the complementary points of improvement measures currently being implemented at construction sites. Method: The status was analyzed using the actual condition survey report issued by the Korea Occupational Health Corporation and the Korea Occupational Health Association and data from the work environment measurement institution, and compared and analyzed with the rules on work environment measurement of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Result: The harmfulness of silicon oxide dust was identified and improvement measures were derived. Conclusion: It is expected that occupational diseases against silicon dust can be reduced if the harmfulness of silicon oxide dust at construction sites is derived and improvement measures are actively applied at the site.

The importance of interface agent as user interface increases in the ubiquitous computing environment. It is essential that an interface agent can develop social relationship with users. We propose that self-disclosure, a major factor to form and maintain human relationship, can be useful to achieve this goal. This study examined the effects of the degree of a computer agent's self-disclosure on the users' social responses. The experiment was conducted in a 2(intimacy of agent's disclosure: high vs. low) by 2(amount of agent's disclosure: high vs. low) between-group design. The results show that: 1) reciprocity of self-disclosure was found in both sub-dimensions (intimacy and amount) of self-disclosure; 2) in case that participants received highly intimate self-disclosure from the agent, social attraction, trustworthiness and expectation of mutual influence toward agent were lower than when the agent's disclosure was less intimate. These findings suggest that the intimacy of agent's self-disclosure can affect on gathering user information and human-agent relationship formation separately. While agent's highly intimate disclosure can be useful to gather user information, agent's appropriate disclosure can be useful to form positive user-agent relationship.

웹 서비스는 오늘날의 인터넷 환경에서 분산되어있고, 이질적인 시스템들 간에 상호운용을 제공하는 새로운 소프트웨어 시스템의 형태이다. 이러한 환경에 있어서 보안은 가장 중요한 이슈 중 하나이다. 공격자는 아무런 인증 없이 사용자의 비밀정보를 노출시킬 수도 있다. 더구나 유비쿼터스 환경에서 사용자들은 웹 서비스를 이용하기 위해 반드시 그들 대신 서비스를 처리할 에이전트들에게 그들의 권한 모두를 혹은 그 중 일부분을 일시적으로 위임해야만 한다. 이것은 사용자의 비밀정보가 에이전트들을 통해 외부에 노출되는 결과를 초례한다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 안전한 웹 서비스를 위한 위임모델을 제시한다. 우리는 에이전트를 통한 비밀정보의 노출을 막고 서비스의 기밀성과 단언정보의 무결성을 제공하기 위해 XML암호화와 XML전자서명 방식을 이용한다. 그리고 XACML 기반의 웹 서비스 관리 서버를 통해 웹 서비스 제공자들과의 서비스정책의 상호운용을 수행한다. 우리는 역시 멀티 에이전트들 간의 위임을 통해 웹 서비스 제공자들에게 전달될 위임 단언을 정의하기 위해 SAML을 확장 시킨다.

대한민국에서 홍수는 매해 여름 발생하는 자연재해로 인명, 재산, 사회 기반시설에 심각한 피해를 일으키고 있으며, 기후변화로 인해 홍수 사상이 과거와는 다른 형태이다. 이를 대비하기 위해서는 기후변화를 고려한 홍수 위험도(flood risk)를 평가를 통해 적절한 대비책을 수립하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 전국의 홍수위험도를 중권역 별로 평가하는 홍수위험지수(Flood Risk Index, FRI)를 새로이 개발하였다. FRI는 세 가지 세부 지표인 위협도, 노출도, 대응능력(Hazard, Exposure, Capacity)의 결합으로 산정된다. 위협도는 직접적인 홍수의 원인이 되는 기상학적 요인인 강수에 대한 정보이고, 노출도는 홍수로부터 피해를 입을 수 있는 인명 및 재산에 대한 요소이다. 대응능력은 자연 환경과 인간의 중장기 전략을 고려한 적응능력(adaptive capacity)과 홍수 발생 시 조치능력(coping capacity)으로 나눠져 평가된다. 즉 위협도와 노출도가 높을수록 홍수 위험도가 커지며, 대응능력이 뛰어날수록 홍수 위험도는 줄어든다. 인자들은 특정 유형의 위험도에만 초점이 맞춰지지 않고 다양한 방면을 포괄적으로 평가할 수 있도록 선정되었으며, 통계 기법을 활용해 FRI를 산정하였다. 크론바흐 알파 계수(Cronbach's ${\alpha}$)를 통해 FRI의 타당성을 진단하였으며, 홍수피해금액간의 스피어만(Spearman) 상관계수를 통해 FRI의 설명력을 검증해 신뢰도를 제고했다. 최종적으로 환경부로부터 제공받은 미래 기후 시나리오를 사용하여 FRI를 산출해 미래의 세 시점(2030년대, 2050년대, 2080년대)의 전국 홍수위험도 평가를 진행하였다.

This study describes a methodology to develop a environmental and geographical information system for managing a national scale which is supports the environmental fate modeling. This system was developed via the integration of environmental and geographical information database(DB) and the DB usage software. For the sound environmental management, the DB were constructed by extracting the geometrical figures-such as points, polylines, and/or polygons-based on the geographical information previously developed in Korea. Then it was connected with the environmental information. Based on the Visual Basic Complier, the software can be a useful tool for visualizing the DB, for searching the environmental & geographical information, and supporting the environmental fate modeling.

The element arsenic, which is abundant in the Earth's crust, is used for various industrial purposes including materials for disease treatment and household goods. Various human activities, such as the disposal of soil waste, metal mining and smelting, and combustion of fossil fuels, have caused the pollution of the environment with arsenic. Recently, guidelines for arsenic in rice have been adopted by the Korean ministry of food and drug safety to prevent health risks based on rice consumption. Because of the exposure to arsenic and its accumulation in the human body through various channels, such as air inhalation, skin contact, ingestion of drinking water, and food consumption, integrated multimedia risk assessment is required to adopt appropriate risk management policies. Therefore, integrated human health risk assessment was carried out in this study using integrated exposure assessment based on multimedia (e.g., air, water, and soil) and multi-route (e.g., oral, inhalation, and dermal) scenarios. The results show that oral uptake via drinking water is the most common pathway of arsenic into the human body, accounting for 57%-96% of the total arsenic exposure. Among various age groups, the highest exposures to arsenic were observed in infants because the body weight of infants is low and the surface areas of infant bodies are large. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, the cancer and non-cancer risks were calculated. The cancer risk for CTE and RME is in the range of 2.3E-05 to 6.7E-05 and thus is negligible because it does not exceed the cancer probability of 1.0E-04 for all age groups. On the other hand, the cancer risk for RME varies from 6.4E-05 to 1.8E-04 and from 1.3E-04 to 1.8E-04 for infants and preschool children, exceeding the excess cancer risk of 1.0E-04. The non-cancer risks range from 5.4E-02 to 1.9E-01 and from 1.5E-01 to 6.8E-01, respectively. They do not exceed the hazard index 1 for all scenarios and all ages.

Juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (mean weight 66.7±7.1 g; mean length 19.2±0.9 cm) in a bio-floc environment were exposed to microplastic (PE: polyethylene, size 40-48 ㎛) at 0, 4, 20, 100, 500 and 2,500 mg L^-1 for 96 hours. No P. olivaceus deaths were observed following microplastic exposure. In the plasma components, calcium was significantly decreased whereas there was no significant change with magnesium following microplastic exposure. Glucose was significantly decreased with over 100mg L^-1 at 48 hours and 20mg L^-1 at 96 hours. Cholesterol was significantly decreased with over 20mg L^-1 after 48 hours, whereas there was no significant change in the total protein content. In enzymatic plasma components, the AST(Aspartate aminotransferase) was significant decreased by microplastic exposure. The results of this study indicate that acute exposure to microplastic induces blood physiological changes in P. olivaceus.

Health impact assessment in South Korea is carried out within the framework of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). And, public health and hygiene items in EIA as an evaluation of health impact items were designed to calculate the emission level of hazardous air pollutants from specific development projects, and the exposure concentration at major sites, and to assess the health risk associated with these projects. But, the assessment of the receptor characteristics around the development project is limitedly considered. The purpose of this study is to propose the method of calculation of potential exposed population and the use of it for public health and hygiene items in EIA. The data for the calculation of potential exposed population in South Korea were identified. And the calculation algorithm based on them was proposed. After that, in a development of industrial complex, a case analysis was carried out assuming the release of hazardous air pollutants. This study suggested that the concept of population risk should be applied in risk assessment utilizing the potential exposed population and as a future study, a standard of assessment of health effects for population risk should be established. Finally, the possibility of using this study as a location-limiting tool for the development project was presented through the method of calculating the potential exposed population. It is meaningful that this study presented a method for performing risk assessment from the perspective of receptors around a development project.
