강우가 지역별 계절별로 편중되어 있는 우리나라는 수자원의 안정적인 확보와 이용을 위해 다양한 형태의 댐을 건설하여 운영하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 댐건설을 통해 형성된 저수지들은 탁수 장기화 및 녹조 발생 등의 환경, 생태적인 문제를 겪고 있으며, 그에 따른 사회적 우려로 인해 신규댐 건설을 통한 수자원확보는 더 이상 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 문제에 대응하기 위한 대안으로 기존 댐 저수지들(안동호-임하호)의 구조적 연계운영방안이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 2차원 CE-QUAL-W2모형을 활용하여 안동호와 임하호의 구조적 연결에 따른 탁수의 이동과 각 저수지 내에서의 유동 변화를 해석하는데 있다. 저수지 연계 시나리오는 EL. 138 m 위치에 길이 2 km, 직경 5.5 m 의 콘크리트관(마찰계수 0.05)이 안동호 좌안인 임동면 마리와 임하호 우안 망천리를 연결하는 것으로 가정하였다. 모델의 보정은 실측자료가 풍부한 2006년도 수문사상을 대상으로, 개별 저수지에 대해 수행하였고, 탁수 유동 시나리오 해석은 임하호에 심각한 탁수장기화 문제가 발생했던 2002년을 대상으로 댐 연계 탁수모의를 수행하였다. 안동호와 임하호의 댐 앞에서 모의값과 실측값을 오차를 분석한 결과 탁수예측오차는 AME 0.5~24 mg/L, RMSE 0.7~30.2mg/L의 범위로 비교적 실측값을 잘 반영한 것으로 나타났다. 임하댐의 경우 탁수층의 위치와 두께, 그리고 최고 탁도값을 적절히 재현 하였지만, 안동댐은 최고 탁도값 예측에서 다소 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 안동호와 임하호 단독 운영시와 연계 운영시의 탁수변화 파악을 위해 초기 홍수사상이 발생한 8월 이후부터 저수지내의 TSS농도 분포를 비교하였다. 안동호의 경우 댐앞지점의 탁수분포는 수온성층구조에 영향을 받아, 단독 운영시(EL. 130 m)보다 연계운영시(EL. 140 m)에 탁수의 중심이 높은 위치에 형성되었다. 단독 운영시 10월 이후에 전도현상으로 인해 침강되지 않은 잔류 탁수층이 저수지 하부로 확산되었지만, 연계 운영시에는 재부상 되어 상층으로 확산되는 것으로 모의되었다. 또한 연계운영시 유량이동으로 인해 안동호의 탁수 댐앞 도달시간이 짧아지는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 임하호는 연계 운영시 안동댐으로 유출이 생기면서 중층에서 탁수량이 저감되는 것으로 모의되었다. 저수지 내 탁수량 분석을 위해 SS 15 mg/L 이상의 잔류 탁수량을 분석한 결과, 연계운영시 안동호의 평균 잔류탁수량 비율은 11.8% 증가, 임하호의 경우 11.7% 감소하였다. 또한, 탁수의 댐하류 방류일수도 SS 15 mg/L 기준 임하호 9일 저감, 안동호는 70일 증가하여 임하호의 탁수가 안동호의 탁수 장기화에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated changes in quality characteristics of wrap- and vacuum-packaged peeled lotus roots treated with strong acidic electrolyzed acid water (SAEW pH 2.58, ORP 1,128 mV, HClO 105.0 ppm) or low alkaline electrolyzed water (LAEW pH 8.56, ORP 660 mV, HClO 73.8 ppm) as immersion liquids prior to packaging and storage at 5C. Immersion of peeled lotus roots in SAEW and LAEW reduced initial microbial load by about 1 log compared to treatment with tap water (TW). Hardness differences on storage were observed. However, reduction in PPO activity by electrolyzed water was not reproducible. Changes in Hunter's color value and the color difference value ($\Delta$) of peeled lotus roots immersed in 0.5% (w/v) sodium metabisulfite (SMS) and electrolyzed water were smaller than those of roots treated with TW prior to storage. Sensory characteristics measured during storage were best-preserved in lotus roots previously immersed in 0.5% (w/v) SMS or electrolyzed water, compared to TW. Immersionin electrolyzed water and vacuum packaging preserves the quality of peeled lotus roots in terms of microbial, visual, and sensory aspects, at levels comparable to those offered by storage after treatment with 0.5% (w/v) SMS.

We analyzed the particle size distributions of three commercially available Devarda's alloy (DA) products, tested the nitrate recoveries of each particle size category, and examined the amounts of DA required for 100% recovery by varying $NO_3$-N concentration from 0.5 to 10 mg. We observed that use of DA coarser than 200 mesh resulted in poor analytical recovery (<80%). While the tested alloys were considered to be fine enough (>90% of the particles were less than 100 mesh), the recovery dramatically declined from 80% to 10% in a high concentration range (4 to 10 mg N). Satisfactory recovery was obtained by increasing the amount of finer DA (less than 300 or 450 mesh). However, there was no quantitative relationship between the amount of fine DA and nitrate recovered. Generally, the amount of nitrate reduced per unit DA decreased as the recovery efficiency declined. These results suggest that a sufficient amount of DA must be determined based on particle size distribution, and that treatment of at least two levels of DA and comparison of the subsequent change in nitrate recovery is required for soils containing high levels of nitrate. In addition, further studies are encouraged to account for the observed stoichiometric dis-equivalence of recovered nitrate N per unit mass of DA.

In this study, heteropoly acid PVMo catalysts were supported on activated carbon with various composition of phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$), vanadium (V) pentoxide ($V_2O_5$) and molybdenum (VI) trioxide ($MoO_3$). Catalytic performance was examined at $140^{\circ}C$ for 1hour in vapor formaldehyde. XRD and BET analyses were carried with the catalysts before and after the reaction. Formaldehyde conversion was increased with decreasing Mo and $H_3PO_4$ content and increasing $V_2O_5$ content. Acidity of the catalysts was investigated with $NH_3-TPD$. Crystallinity of the catalysts was relatively low, and surface area was decreased after the reaction. In $NH_3-TPD$ result, the ratio of strong acid site corresponding to $NH_3$ desorption between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ was increased by decreasing $MoO_3$ and $H_3PO_4$ content and increasing $V_2O_5$ content. Therefore, it was found that the strong acid site could affect the catalytic reactivity in vapor formaldehyde conversion.

Recently, housing prices in metropolitan areas is also increasing in the UK and Australia. Their governments are trying to solve this problem by the housing development in the quarry sites near cities. The cases reviewed in this study, Erith Hill Quarry (The Quarry), Plymstock Quarry, Lilydale Quarry (Kinley), and Bombo Quarry are the mixed-used development cases in the closed quarry sites through the urban planning system. In the UK, the local government uses the urban planning scheme such as the planning permit system, section 106. The local government permits the quarry site development on the condition that it provides necessary public facilities, such as schools and affordable housing for the local community. In Australia, local governments use up-zoning permission rights to convert land uses in quarries from industrial to mixed-use. Development plans have to include urban infrastructure and open space in addition to affordable housings. In the case of Australia, establishing a development plan in advance and filling the quarry pit with overburden through a phased development is expected to have the effect of reducing the project cost. Both countries think that developing brownfields, such as quarry sites, is a more sustainable and eco-friendly development from the perspective of future generations than developing new green fields. Such a perspective of the UK and Australia will be able to give policy implications for our slightly rigid urban development system.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of organic farmland soil and nutrient management on soil properties depending on organic (animal manure compost and green manure [hairy vetch]) and chemical fertilization, tillage and no-tillage, and crop rotation (corn-wheat, corn-.hairy vetch). It was found that the application of organic matter such as animal manure compost and hairy vetch, increased the soil organic matter content, the soil microbial density and microbial biomass C content as compared with the chemical fertilizer treatment. It was also confirmed that the functional diversity of soil microbial community was increased. As a result of the comparison with the crop rotation and single cropping, the soil chemistry showed no significant difference between the treatments, but the corn-wheat and corn-hairy vetch rotation treatments tended to have higher microbial biomass C content and shannon's diversity index than the single cropping. Soil chemical properties of tillage and no-tillage treatments showed no significant difference between treatments. There was no statistically significant difference in substrate utilization of soil microbial community between tillage and no-tillage treatment. Correlation analysis between soil chemical properties and soil microbial activity revealed that soil organic matter content and exchangeable potassium content were positively correlated, with statistical significance, with substrate utilization, and substrate richness. To conclude, organic fertilization had positive effects on the short-term improvement of soil chemical properties and diversity of microbial communities.

This study was aimed to examine kindergarten teachers' concerns in physical computing, which corresponds to the innovative teaching method, based on CBAM. For this, a questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 118 kindergarten teachers. Percentile analysis and MANOVA using CBAM model were carried out. As a result of the research, the kindergarten teachers' concern level is analyzed to be a critical non-user pattern on the whole. However, a pattern aspect was shown with a slightly high concern in stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 compared to a typical type, and with a low concern level in stage 4. In consequence of having implemented MANOVA, the private kindergarten teachers' concern level appeared to be significantly high in stage 4 and stage 6 compared to a public kindergarten. Also, compared to the teachers who plan to utilize physical computing from now on, the teachers who don't have a plan of the application had significantly high concern level in stage 0. The concern level score was significantly low in 1~6 stages excluding stage 3.

Prunus mume, known as maesil in Korea, has been widely cultivated in East Asia and used as medication and food. However, because most of the previous studies concerning P. mume had been investigated its under extract state, detailed studies are still required for its extensive utilization. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of solvent fractions of P. mume ethanol extracts. The ethyl acetate fraction showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity than other fractions. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of ethyl acetate fraction was 67.79%; ABTS radical scavenging activity was 60.03%; reducing power ($OD_{670}$) was 1.26; and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity was 93.18% at $500{\mu}g/ml$. Also, the ethyl acetate and methanol fraction showed effective levels of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibition activity (69.25% and 72.29% at $500{\mu}g/ml$). Total polyphenol contents and total flavonoid contents of the ethyl acetate fraction were 88.28 mg/g (gallic acid equivalent) and 70.38 mg/g (quercetin equivalent), respectively. These results suggest that the physiological activities of the ethyl acetate fraction are associated with its polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Therefore, this study can be used as basic data for developing natural antioxidants and potential functional material using P. mume.

The content of major constituents and antioxidant activities of nine onion cultivars, namely yellow domestic cultivars Meapsihwang, Sinsunhwang, Yeonsinhwang, Yeongbohwang, and Yeongpoonghwang, red domestic cultivar Eumjinara, green domestic cultivar Sweetgreen, yellow-introduced cultivar Sunpower, and red-introduced cultivar Cheonjujeok, were compared. Yeongbohwang and Cheonjujeok had the highest total phenolic and total flavonoid contents among the six yellow and two red cultivars, respectively. The red cultivars displayed the highest DPPH and ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activities (DRSAs and ARSAs, respectively) and reducing power (RP). Among all cultivars, Cheonjujeok and Eumjinara had the highest DRSA, while both red cultivars had similar ARSAs. Among the yellow cultivars, Sinsunhwang and Yeongbohwang showed excellent DRSAs. The RP of the domestic cultivars was slightly higher than that of the introduced cultivars. Thus, the domestic cultivar Yeongbohwang exhibited excellent characteristics among the yellow cultivars, while the red cultivars Eumjinara and Cheonjujeok were similar.
