The effects of the various pattern of paddy-upland switching system on rice yield and the nutrient absorption characteristics were examined in the paddy field of Seokcheon silty soil for three years from 1989 to 1991. The obtained results of the two years from 1990 to 1991 are as follows : 1. Rice grain yields were high in the order of potato-cabbage>soybean>continuous paddy plot for the second and third year. Among the rice yield components the numbers of grains per panicle and the rate of ripening grain exerted the yield increase. 2. The contents and absorption amounts of nutrient in harvested straw plant increased with the incease of rice yields during the second and third year(1990~1991). The amounts of all nutrient absorption increased with the increased level of nitrogen fertilization at the third year(1991). 3. The periodical change of leaf green color was responded well with the content of ammonia concentration of soil solution.

The pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel generates LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt containing radioactive rare earth nuclides. It is necessary to develop a simple process for the treatment of LiCl-KCl eutectic waste in a hot-cell facility. In this study, capture and solidification of a rare earth nuclide (Nd) in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt using an inorganic composite with a $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system was conducted to simplify the existing separation and solidification process of rare earth nuclides in LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt from the pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. More than 98wt% of Nd in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt was captured when the mass ratio of the composite was 0.67 over $NdCl_3$ in the eutectic salt. The content of $Nd_2O_3$ in the Nd captured-composite reached about 50wt%, and this composite was directly fabricated into a homogeneous and chemical resistant glass waste in a monolithic form. These results will be utilized in designing a process to simplify the existing separation and solidification process.

To understand characteristics of the water quality on the coastal boundary on tidal flat, field observations between 2008 and 2009 were undertaken twice a month at five coastal areas (Muan bay, Tando bay, Hampyeong bay, Shinan Jido and Yeongkwang coastal areas). Yearly water temperature difference was large with the range between $1.3^{\circ}C$ and $31.1^{\circ}C$. Salinity was about 32 but was the lower less than 20 for the heavy rainfall season. DO was high in winter and low in summer according to the variation of water temperature. pH represented the variation similar to DO. Suspended solid was averagely high over 100 mg/l in Yeongkwang coastal area, especially. COD did not revealed large variation with the value of about 1 mg/l. DIN and DIP concentration were high when freshwater was highly input in summer. DIN concentration was low for winter and early spring but DIP concentration did not show the seasonal variation with the continuous increase from July 2009 to December 2009. Chlorophyll a appeared high for spring with approximately $10\;{\mu}g/l$ and was higher for summer in Yeongkwang coastal area than other sites. The results of principal component analysis conducted to compare the characteristics of water quality observed in study areas showed the distinguishable features as follows. The freshwater input fluctuation appeared as the first factor in Muan and Tando bays, and the change of water temperature was the first factor in Shinan Jido and Yeongkwang coastal areas. The influence mixed with the variation of freshwater outflow and the change of water temperature in Hampyeong bay was to be the first factor.

Despite growing international cooperation for maintenance of international peace and security, wars continue to occur due to conflicted state interests. Continuing conflicts has advanced development of various weapon systems such as global integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. However, with a big increase in the number of civilian casualties caused by the weapon systems development, the international community has also advanced diplomatic efforts to minimize deaths of civilian and military personnel. Therefore, it is essential to observe the principle of discrimination between combatants and non-combatants when operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), better known as drones. Drones have become more capable of distinguishing combatants from non-combatants due to its high-tech prowess. In the operation of drones, any parties involved in combat or the war are responsible for mounting civilian casualties. In addition, it should comply with the principle of proportionality that calls for a balance between results of such action and expected military advantage anticipated from the attack. The rule of proportionality prohibits use of military force which may be expected to cause excessive civilian harm. Drones have been able to track and monitor targets for hours and select the accurate locations of the targets. The aim is to reduce civilian losses and damage to a minimum. Drones meet the standards of Article 51.4 of the Additional Protocol.

In this study, binderless zeolite BaX granule, an effective adsorbent for the separation of p-xylene was made. This adsorbent which has a sufficient strength, high specific surface area and selectivity to p-xylene was prepared by various steps, such as granulation process, calcination, binderless treatment, ion-exchange, and activation. In the granulation, the concentration of colloidal silica solution was controlled in order to confirm the effect of $SiO_2$ contents after binderless treatment. As a result, we confirmed that the compressive strength of granule after binderless treatment was increasing with increasing proportion of $SiO_2$ in the granule. And then Na-ion in granule was exchanged with Ba-ion by successive batch ion-exchange process. And then prepared adsorbents were tested for p-xylene separation by batch adsorption at $90^{\circ}C$. As a results of batch adsortion test, we confirmed that prepared adsorbents have a high selectivity to p-xylene. Also, it could be conformed that the prepared binderless zeolite BaX has a sufficient compressive strength (0.450 kgf), high specific surface area $(647.57m^2/g)$, high crystallinity (98.5% compared with zeolite NaX powder), and selectivity to p-xylene.

Sulfide photocatalysts, CdS and CdZnS, were synthesized using a simple precipitation method and their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. The effects of four inorganic salt additives, KCl, NaCl, $K_3PO_4$, and $Na_3PO_4$, on the photocatalytic reaction were examined and the role of $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Cl^-$ and $PO_4{^{3-}}$ ions during photocatalytic reaction was discussed. The added inorganic salts were shown to have a remarkable effect on the photocatalytic reaction. It was also found that the anions in inorganic salts have a much more profound effect on the reaction rate, as compared to the cations. Under the present experimental conditions, $PO_4{^{3-}}$ revealed a significant inhibitory effect on the degradation rate whereas $Cl^-$ enhanced the rate slightly. This work pointed out that the consideration of additive effects is needed in the photocatalytic reaction for wastewater treatment.

The effects of paddy-upland rotation and cropping system on the mineralization of soil organic nitrigen, on the change of organic matter and available phosphorus content in the soil, and on the rice yield and nutrients absorption were studied in Seokcheon fine-sandy loam soil. 1. In the incubation test mineralzed soil nitrogen and the nitrogen extracted by pH 7 phosphate buffer solutions were higher in the soils from every and two year rotation systems than continuous rice cultivation. In terms of cropping system potato-chiness cabbage-rice increased them more than soybean-rice system. 2. The change of soil organic matter and available phosphorus contents were not much in continuous rice cultivation, while in rotation system they decreased as the paddy-upland rotation frequency decreased. In terms of cropping system they decresed more in potato-Chinese cabbage-rice system compared with soybean-rice systems. 3. The rice yield was higher in the paddy-upland rotation system than that of continuous rice cultivation. However, the effects were decreased gradually every year, as shown by 26~20, 17~5, and 5~4% yield increase for first, second, and third year, respectively, in potato-Chinese cabbage-rice and soybean-rice system compared with continuous rice cultivation. 4. All the absorbed nutrient contents increased in every and two year rotation system compared with continuous rice cultivation. In terms of cropping system potato-Chiness cabbage-rice system increased them more compared with soybean-rice system.

The rate and pattern of soil nitrogen mineralization were investigated under conditions of a paddy-upland switching cultivation system. Experimental results obtained are as follows 1. Amounts of soil nitrogen mineralized were different in the order of potato-cabbage>soybean>continuous paddy plot for the first year, but potato-cabbage>continuous paddy>soybean plot for the second year, respectively. 2. In the third year cropping under upland condition a higher amount of soil nitrogen was found mineralized at the plot of continuous upland cultivation than at the alternate paddy-upland switching plot in the case of potato-cabbage, on the contrary, however, the higher amount was found at the alternate paddy-upland switching plot in the case of soybean cultivation. 3. The amounts of total soil nitrogen and carbon were lower in paddy-upland switching plots than in continuous paddy plots. This trend is significant in soybean plots. 4. A positive correlationship was found between phosphate buffer solution method for available nitrogen and submerged soil method for $NH_4-N$, both being utilized for the estimation of soil fertility.

Recently, the research and development of weapon systems have expanded from ILS centered on acquisition costs to LCS, including operating maintenance costs. Regulations define the provision and formula of operating maintenance costs, but this does not consider the characteristics of the design and operation/maintenance of real weapon systems based on engineering calculations. Therefore, this study suggests a simulation design method to complement these areas and produce more accurate operating maintenance costs. The research procedures are as follows. First, the provision and formula of operating maintenance costs were defined to make the simulation results applicable. Second, a simulation model was developed by reviewing design considerations so that the simulation results reflect reality more accurately. The design considerations include the PBS of weapon systems, operation schedules, specifications for operation/maintenance/warehouse facilities, and basic cost information (personnel expense and spare part/equipment cost). This study is expected to be effective in calculating the operating maintenance costs more easily and accurately.

시설재배지의 토양화학성 변화는 작물재배 기간 시비한 화학비료에서 유래된 무기성분 뿐만아니라, 가축분퇴비의 질소성분의 토양잔류량이 요소비료 보다 9.4배 많아 염류집적 주 요인이라는 보고('05 경기도)가 시사하는 봐와 같이 유기자원으로 시용하는 가축분 등의 부산물비료의 무기화에서 유래된 비료성분이 토양염류집적 및 토양환경악화에 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 시설재배지의 유기물자원 시용기준이 토양의 특성에 관계 없이 작물에 따라 양적인 시험성적이 주로되어 있으며, 토양검정에 의한 시용기준도 유기물함량에 따라 볏짚, 우분, 돈분 및 계분으로 돠어 있다. 일반노지와 달리 시설재배지에서는 유기물함량이 토양의 비옥도 및 작물생육에 영향을 미치는 것 보다는 토양의 전기전도도(EC)가 더 중요한 작물생육 조건이 될 수 있다. 따라서 토양의 특성에 따라 물질순환에 의한 유기자원 시용기준으로 개선할 필요성이 있다. 시설재배지의 장기적인 토양관리를 위하여 유기물자원에 의한 토양환경 개선 효과를 구명하고자. 무처리, 가축분부산 물비료 관행 시용 기준 대비 볏짚 등 5개의 유기자원을 토양의 무기태질소 함량 대비 유기자원의 탄소함량을 C/N율 10 조절량을 시용하여 시험하였고, 또한 토양의 전기전도도(EC)가 상이한 3개( <2.0 dS/m, 2.0~6.0 dS/m, 6.0 dS/m<)토양에 유기물자원(우드칩)을 C/N율 10, 20, 30 조절하여 수박을 시험작물로 비닐하우스에서 재배하여 수행하였다. 시험 후 토양의 전기전도도(EC)는 시험 전에 비하여 시험 후 토양에서 가축분부산물비료는7% 증가되었으나 유기물자원 처리는 26~33% 경감되는 효과가 있었다. 수박의 과중은 무처리를 제외하고 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 유기물자원 C/N율 조절간에는 시험전 토양의 EC에 따라 차이가 있어 C/N 10 조절에서는 26~44%, C/N 20 조절에서는 30~51%, C/N 30 조절에서는 27~48% 경감효과가 있었으며, 3토양의 평균 토양EC 경감율은 C/N 10, 20, 30 조절에서 각각 34, 39 및 38 % 이었다. 수박의 생육 및 과중은 토양의 C/N율 조절간에는 차이가 없었으나, 토양의 EC 간에는 토양의 EC가 6.0dS/m 이상 토양에서 가장 낮았다. 따라서 탄소원의 유기자원을 C/N율 조절에 의한 시용기준 개선으로 토양의 무기태질소와 토양의 전기전도도(EC)를 경감시켜 친환경적 토양관리와 수박의 수량과 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 평가되었다.
