In order to properly manage trees in rivers, the impact of trees on flooding and their ecological characteristics need to be considered and a plan needs to be established. The hydraulic impact by trees is reduction of conveyance and hydraulic structure's function due to overturn arising from flow force. A field pulling test was carried out to measure the critical resistance force for when trees break in order to discover the level of resistance that trees inside the river have to external force. The relevant factors for discovering the critical breaking moment for trees include tree species, which determines the external characteristic of trees, tree diameter at breast height, and tree height. In this study, the correlation between critical breaking moment and diameter at breast height were used. The tree's limit or critical breaking moment was tested using 100 shrubs and tall trees with a breast height diameter of 4.9 to 32.8 cm. It was difficult to derive a correlation between diameter at breast height and critical breaking moment when shrubs and tall trees were being considered together, but when only tall trees were considered, a consistent correlation was found between them.

현재 국내 하천에는 수많은 보가 존재하고 있으며, 하천에 설치된 보는 보 주변 지역에 많은 혜택을 제공한다. 보의 규모가 클 경우 소수력 발전을 위한 용도로 사용되거나, 선박 통행을 위한 수심 확보 목적으로 활용된다. 상수원으로서 농업용수와 생활용수를 공급하며, 홍수 시 상부 저수지를 홍수 조절을 위한 목적으로 활용되며, 지역 주민들에게 여가 활용의 기회를 제공한다. 이렇듯 하천에 설치되어 있는 보는 유용한 역할을 수행하지만 사용하고자 하는 용도가 없어지고, 노후화되어 보의 기능이 점차 약화되는 보들이 하천에 계속 남아있게 된다면, 필요 없이 하천을 막아 흐름을 정체시켜 결국 환경이나 생태적인 측면에서 커다란 손실을 가져오게 된다. 최근 농경지 도시화, 경작 방식의 변화, 취수시설물 통폐합, 시설 노후화 등으로 매년 수십 개 이상의 보가 폐기되고 있으나, 폐기된 보는 대부분 철거되지 않고 하천에 남아 여전히 문제를 발생시키고 있으며, 외국의 경우에는 이미 기능 및 용도를 상실한 보 철거는 하천 생태통로 복원 등의 목적을 위해 하천환경복원의 한 방법으로 널리 활용하고 있다. 특히 보의 기능 상실 여부는 단순한 시설물 노후 여부로 따지는 것이 아니라 본래의 기능을 상실하였을 경우에는 시설물이 노후화되지 않았더라도 적극적으로 철거하고 있다. 본 연구는 보 철거를 통한 하천생태통로 복원 기술 개발을 위한 연구의 일환으로 기능을 상실한 보 철거를 위한 보 철거 선정 체계에 대한 시안을 제시하고자 한다. 철거 대상 보 선정을 위해서는 보 관리주체 및 보 주변지역에 거주하는 주민의 역할이 중요하며, 이에 따라 보 철거 선정 체계는 보 철거를 위해서 보 주변 지역 거주민을 설득하며, 하천의 환경 개선을 위한 합리적인 대안 제시를 목적으로 하고 있다. 선정 체계를 바탕으로 주민 협의 및 대안 제시를 통해 결정된 대상 보는 선정 체계 안에서 보 철거 영향 판단 절차에 따라서 보 철거로 인한 수문, 수리, 지형, 수질, 생태 영향을 판단하게 되며, 이와 더불어 사회 경제적인 영향을 평가하게 된다. 평가결과에 따라서 보를 완전히 철거하거나 다른 대안을 고려하여 보를 부분적으로 철거하거나 개량하게 된다.

Critical and allowable shear stress acting on the mattress revetment, is presented in this study. First of all, shear stress at each spot is computed when the hydraulic power act on the waterway. Secondly, median diameter of the filling rocks is computed using shear stress and Shields coefficient which are used to decide the critical motion of the particle. Finally, the range of critical and allowable shear stress is estimated which meet the particle stability and indicated that the mattress is a stable hydraulic structure in comparison with the riprap. Therefore the required median diameter of riprap is three times higher than that of mattress. Contrarily, this study also analyzed that resisting power of mattress to shear stress is three times higher than that of riprap on the same size.

The purpose of this study was to examine particular variables that play a significant role in the difficulty of math test items in College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). The study also aimed to develop a model of measuring the item difficulty. Variables correlated to item difficulty were drawn from the review of the related literature and the analysis of the content and difficulty of the past test items of CSAT. The first instrument was designed by using the correlated variables. According to the results of correlation analysis, the second instrument was made by deleting the variables which showed relatively low correlation with item difficulty and by refining some variables. Several models were proposed by using the revised instrument. The comparison of the R square and cross validity of each model reveals that integrated regression model was the most stable and accurate among the proposed models. The study also showed that statistically significant predictors were choice format, content domain, behavior domain, and the degree of item familiarity in the order of proportion of variance accounted by the predictors. Despite the limited scope of the present research, it can be suggested that its findings provide useful insights into predicting math test item difficulty.

The motion of two-dimensional floating breakwaters with rectangular clots-section which are moored tautly in shallow water has been analyzed using a velocity potential matching method in which the fluid region is devided into sub-regions and then unknown coefficients of velocity potentials are determined from the continuity condition of mass and momentum flux of fluid at imaginary boundaries between sub-regions. The method originally suggested by Ijima et al.(1972) for the motion of submerged body has been modified to analyze the motion of floating body. The total fluid region has been divided into three sub-regions : the incident wave region, the transmitted wave region and the region below the floating breakwater. The restoring forces induced by mooring lines which were ignored by Ijima et al.(1972) have been modeled as linear springs with the initial tension effects. This method has been verified through the comparions with results from hydraulic expriments. Applications to various conditions of floating breakwater have been performed.

The characteristics of environmentally friendly block, roughness, erosion, stability and dissolved oxygen(DO) were investigated by hydraulic experiment. It was found that the roughness of A-block was lower than I block and A block was more stable to the variation of flow. So it is expected that A-block will be more effective to the channel flow. It was also found that the erosion of channel bed was very small or rarely occurred and stable in the case of 3-dimensional A-block filled with sand. And 3-dimensional A-blocks assembled with A-blocks were more stable against the flow force than I block because of the united force of A-blocks. When the bed of channel was paved with 3-dimensional A-blocks, DO was increased higher than I block. So it is expected that A-block will be more advantageous to underwater environment than I block.

The friction velocity is a quantity with the dimensions of velocity defined by the friction stress and density of a wall surface at near wall of flow condition. Also, the friction velocity is the hydraulic parameter describing shear force at the bottom flow. Moreover, it is a very important factor in designing open channel and essential to determine the mixing coefficient in the main flow direction. The estimation of the friction velocity are such as methods using channel slope, linear law of the mean velocity at viscous sub-layer and direct measurement of wall shear stress, etc. In the present study, we propose a friction velocity equation that has been optimized by combining the concept of entropy, which is used in stochastic method, and to verify the proposed equation, the experimental data measured by Song was used. The R squared for friction velocities between proposed equation and friction velocity formula analyzed 0.999 to 1.000 in a very good agreement with each equation.

This study compared the marginal bone loss around dental implants that were placed in the canine areas of the mandibles and finded the survival rate of the implants, marginal bone loss around implants and prosthetic complications in 20 patients treated with overdentures retained with Locator attachments. Implants placed in this study showed a 95% survival rate and the average marginal bone loss was 1.21 mm($SD{\pm}0.60mm$) in 94.3 weeks of functional loading. Implant-retained overdentures had various prosthetic complications such as male change, metal cap loosening, Locator attachment loosening, denture teeth change, relining and denture fracture. Implant-retained overdentures using two implants and Locator attachments in the edentulous mandibles is considered as a stable way for long terms because of minimal invasive operation, simple prosthetic process and easy repair.

River restoration and environmental improvement projects have been peformed by social needs, therefore methodology for evaluating such projects must be provided. The PHysical HABitat SIMulation system (PHABSIM) is proposed as a tool for the assessment of hydraulic habitat suitability for aquatic species related to flow regime in river. This study evaluates the change of physical habitat for Zacco platypus according to small dam removal and the model suitability by applying PHABSIM to the reach where small dam was removed. It is shown that the physical habitat is generally increased and improved where the small dam was removed. However, physical habitat in the spawning stage that has a weak swimming speed is decreased by increased flow velocity in the upstream area of small dam, so proper countermeasure for that condition should be needed. Consequently, PHABSIM can be effectively used to provide methodology for assessment and necessity of various river projects including a removal of out-aged hydraulic structures.
