The quality of tap water on the whole water-supply system, from a large filtration plant to a private faucet, has to be guaranteed the standards of drinking water. At this point in time, however, the supply process of the tap water has not been monitored and managed scientifically. The piped water, especially the most small-scale reservoirs(underground or overhead type) are always exposed to various contaminations and impurities. Recently monitoring systems of water-quality were spread on some large filtration plants or distributing reservoirs. In particular, the water quality monitoring method using the internet is adopted into some local government whose inhabitants can check up the water quality anytime and anywhere. The construction of this system that has to apply a large scale needs, and has a limitation on the small water-supply system, such as apartments, public facilities and small-scale underground or overhead reservoirs. In this work, we suggest the integration system of individual water-quality sensor modules that have a low price. By using the developed integration system and monitoring program operated on the internet, the system managers of reservoirs can monitor and manage water-quality characteristic values of drinking water in online. Since the proposed system was modularized, the system can be applied easily into various reservoirs with a low cost and regardless of its scale, small or large.

So far, studies on the settlement of breakwater have mainly been conducted through numerical model tests focusing on an analysis or through the laboratory wave tank tests using a scaled model. There has not been a study on the settlement that is measured in an actual breakwater structure. This study analyzed the data of settlement that has been measured in an actual caisson breakwater for a long time and the characteristics and causes of wave-induced settlement in the caisson (including beneath ground), based on qualitative aspect, were examined. The analysis revealed that wave clearly has an effect on the settlement in caisson, especially in the condition of high wave such as typhoon. Caisson settlement is caused by the liquefaction of ground, which is due to the increase of excess pore pressure, the combination of oscillatory excess pore pressure and residual excess pore water pressure, and the solidification process of ground due to dissipation of the accumulated excess pore pressure. The behavior of excess pore pressure in the ground beneath the caisson is entirely governed by the behavior of the caisson. Ground that has gone through solidification is not likely to go through liquefaction in a similar or a smaller wave condition and consequently, the possibility of settlement is reduced.

This study compared acute ammonia toxicity in juvenile rockfish and red sea bream. Oxygen concentration affected ammonia toxicity to aquatic animals. Without aeration, the 96-hr $LC_50$ values of $NH_4^+$and un-ionhized ammonia for juvenil rockfish(3.6g, 6.6cm) were 2.61 and 0.09 mg/l, respectively. The 3-hr $LC_50$ values of $NH_4^+$ for the size of 1.9g (5.2cm) and 3.6g (6.6cm) rockfish, and 1.0g (3.8cm) and 2.0g (5.0cm) red sea bream without aeration were 3.96, 3.94, 4.35 and 3.75 mg/l, respectively. When oxygen level was low, larger fish were more susceptible to ammonia toxicity than smaller one because of stress resulted from low oxygen. However, with aeration, the 96-hr $LC_50$ values of $NH_4^+$ for the size of 1.2g (3.9cm) and 2.3g (5.1cm) red sea bream with aeration were 3.84 and 3.90mg/l, respectively. The 6-hr $LC_50$values of $NH_4^+$ for the size of 3.1g (5.9cm) and 6.2g (7.0cm) rockfish with aeration were 3.83 and 3.94 mg/l, respectively. When oxygen level was high, larger rockfish and red sea bream were less susceptible to ammonia toxicity than smaller ones. The 6 hr-or 96 hr-$LC_50$ values of $NH_4^+$for rockfish with reduced ammonia toxicity. In comparing 96 hr-$LC_50$ values of $NH_4^+$ and un-ionized ammonia for juvenil rockfish with those for juvenil red sea bream, the values for rockfish were lower than for red sea bream. This indicates that juvenile rockfish is more susceptible to ammonia toxicity than juvenile red sea bream.

From January 1997 to May, the red marbled rockfish, Sebastiscus tertius (Barsukov et Chen) was reared in the laboratory, and observed the morphological characteristies of egg and development of larvae and juveniles. The egg is spherical in shape colorless and transparent, measuring 0.72~0.80mm in diameter (mean 0.75mm, n=50). The naturally bearing larvae were 3.79~3.97mm in total length with 7~8＋15~16=22~24 myomeres, and mouth and anus were open. Melanophores were present on the yolk of the larva and ventral margins of the tail. The 1~2 days after bearing larvae measured 3.90~4.13mm in total length, and transformed to postlarval stage, and yolk sac were completely resorbed. On the lower jaw melanophores were present. Total length of the larvae was 4.23~4.60mm in total length (11 days after bearing), number of elongated pectoral fin rays was 9~10, and melanophores distributed on the top of head, around the intestine tube, ventral margins of the tail and on the pectoral fin. In 21 days after bearing, the larva were 5.83~7.10mm in total length, and the caudal notochord flex $45^{\circ}$. Individuals of 9.80~12.36mm in total length (33 days after bearing) are regarded to have reached to the juvenile stage with all the fins were developed.

For investigation of the activated carbon on the mouse kidney treated with Pb, the activated carbon (40 mg/kg) and Pb (30 mg/kg) were treated orally for three and six weeks, respectivelly, and observed by the electron microscope. On the glomerulus of the group with only Pb, the basal membrane thicked, projected, and the foot processes fused. On the proximal convoluted tubules, the number of microvilli were decreased and the number of vacuoles and lysosome increased on the cytoplasm. The mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum were extended and ribosomes dropped from the ER. On the giomerulus of the group with Pb-activated carbon, the basal membrane and the foot processes were merely changed. On the proximal convoluted tubules, the shapes and number of microvilli were not changed and the number of vacuoles, microbodies, and lysosomes decreased. The shapes of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum observed almost similar with control group. Th at is, elongated mitochondria and attached ribosomes to endoplasmic reticulum. As result, the activated carbon has positive effect on reducing toxicity of lead in the mouse kidney in the view of electron microscope.

The spawning behavior, development of eggs and larvae of the Korea freshwater goby, Rhinogobius brunneus (Temminck et Schlegel) were studied. The eggs were spawned as a one-layer mass, hanging from the underside of a small pebble, and guarded by one male. The eggs were elliptic, about 1.48 mm in length and 0.65 mm in breadth, with a round top and a somewhat flat base with glutinous fibers. Hatching in the indoor tank with $17.0^{\circ}C$ in mean water temperature started from the 146 hours after fertilization. In the late developing stages, the embryo moved and freely changed its head to face the free tip of the chorion (normal egg) or to the basal end with a boundle of adhesive filaments (agrippa egg). Newly-hatched larvae were $3.10\~3.30$ mm in total length (mean: 3.22 mm), and mouth and anus were not yet open. Melanophores were present on the air- bladder, around the anus, and on the ventral part of the caudal region. The larva $3\~4$ days old transformed to postlarval stage, and they were $3.30\~3.85$ mm in total length (mean: 3.60 mm). As yolk sac and oil globules werw nearly absorbed, mouth and anus were open, and they fed rotifers actively. In $20\~22$ days after hatching the larvae grew to 5.85 mm in 71, and the caudal notochord flex at $45^{\circ}$.

An experimental study is carried out to investigate the effect of jet stream in the gab of rectangular cylinders with different length in a parallel arrangement by using PIV method in a circulating water channel. The height(h) of the rectangular cylinder and the gap between the cylinder is 10mm, and the width(B) which is 300mm. The length of the model for flow direction was applied to 30mm, 60mm, 90mm & 120mm, The aspect ratio of a model on the basis of height(H=30mm) is 1, 2, 3 and 4. Reynolds number $Re=1.4{\times}10^4$, $Re=2.0{\times}10^4$, $Re=2.9{\times}10^4$ based on the height(H) of model for the distance of tidal distributions as of water depth have been applied during the whole experiments. The measurement area was set to 5H rear of the cylinder. As a result, Vortex size in the wake area were increased as velocity increased. and high aspect ratio increased through-flow velocity component in the near wake. Velocity deficit increased highly after near-wake area and low aspect ratio.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the science concepts and teaching and learning methods presented in the science education-related activities of the Nuri Curriculum teacher guidebooks for ages 3-5. Methods: The research data included 772 activities related to science education in the teachers' guidebook. The analysis of science concepts was based on physical science (force and motion, physical structure, electricity and magnetism, light and shadow, sound properties), chemistry (material properties, material reaction), life science (organizational structure, growth and change, heredity and evolution, animal plant and human relationships), earth science (earth system interaction, earth system structure, and universe), engineering (designed world, engineering design, engineering, technology and society) and ecology (environment preservation). Teaching and learning methods were analyzed according to the types of small and large group activities and of free play activities. Results: Science concepts were mainly presented in the fields of engineering, chemistry, and life science commonly among children aged 3-5, whereas the concepts of physical science were lowly presented in all ages. Science concepts appeared mainly in the daily subjects of 'animal plant and nature', 'life tools', 'environment and life', and 'spring, summer, autumn and winter'. As the teaching and learning method, free paly activities (science area, free outdoor selection activity, math and manipulative activity) were mostly used for the ages of 3 and 4, and small and large group activities (cooking, story sharing, music activity) were for the age of 5. Conclusion/Implications: It is necessary to select the level of science area and concept that can be taught according to the age of children and the timing of the teaching.

A simple experimental method was used in an attempt to realize the elevation of the fishing ability of purse seine in the sea area of Cheju Island, the changes of seine volume and tension in the purseline during pursing. Experiments carried out on the six types simplified reduced model seines which were made of knotless nettings. The nettings were woven in different leg length 4.3, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.6 and 7.7mm of polyester 28 tex two threads two-ply twine, and each of the seines were named I, II, III, IV, V and Ⅵ seine. Dimension of seine models were 450cm for corkline and 85cmfor seine depth, each seines rigged up 160g of float for a floatline and 50g (underwater weight) of lead for a leadline. These model purse seines were made of the scale of 1/200 of its full scale, a 120 ton in the near sea of Cheju Island. Designing and testing for the model purse seines were based on the Tauti's law. Experiments were measured in the observation channel of a flume tank at the static conditions set up shooting and pursing equipments. Motion of purse seine during purse line was recorded by the two sets video camera for VTR which were placed in top and front of the model seine. The reading coordinate of seine volume carried out by the video digitization system, disk data for the purseline tension. An analysis were performed on the changes seine volume and tension in the purseline during pursing. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The seine volume during pursing was largest for Ⅵ seine with smallest d/l followed by V, IV, III, II and I seines, and tension in the purseline was small. 2. Seine volume during pursing can be expressed by the following equation; CVt=l-EXP[｛2.79 (d/l）＋0.35｝t-33.37 (d/l) ＋ 0.57] Where CVt is volume ratio, d is twine diameter, l is leg length and t is pursing time (sec). 3. Tension in the purse line during pursing can be expressed by the following equation; T= 1- EXP ｛0.57t ＋ 13.36 (d/l)+2.97｝ Where T is tension (kg) in the purseline during pursing.
