Some physico-chemical properties and biological activities of new fungicide formulations were tested to investigate a feasibility of water-floating formulation development for sheath blight control in rice. Pencycuron[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1-cyclopentyl-3-phenylurea] and flutolanil$({\alpha},{\alpha},{\alpha}$-trifluoro-3'-isopropoxy-O-toluanilide) were chosen as toxicants for the formulations. Vegetable oil and surface active agents were used as a floating agent and spreader, respectively. All the formulations tested showed an excellent spreadability on the water having over $35cm^2/mg$ and were chemically stable, which the degradation rates of active ingredients were less than 10% after 12 weeks of storage at $50^{\circ}C$. Most of the applied test formulation of pencycuron was retained within 0.5cm of the surface paddy water, while that of flutolanil was vertically dispersed in the water. Inhibition activity of the tested pencycuron formulation on the sclerotia germination of the pathogen in paddy water was maintained over 30 days after the formulation treatment. Control effect of 4% pencycuron water-floating formulated with surface active agent of hydro-lipophyllic balance 4.3 on the disease in rice was equal to the reference fungicide(pencycuron 25% WP) when the former was treated one day before the transplantation of rice seedlings. Overflowing the submerged paddy water after the formulation treatment resulted in a deterious effect on the disease control.

The QUAL-II E Model was applied to predict the water quality of the Mankyong drainage System, and lead to following conclusion. 1. The difference between computed and measured BOD at the M-3 (Bakgugeong) station was within 10%, indicating that the application of the QUAL-IIE Model for the prediction of water quality was satisfactory thus far. 2. The application of the model states that the discharge of concentrated pollutants at the M-1 station on the Jeonju stream, located 41Km upstream from the estuary, causes the worst problems. The sluice which extends residence time and enlarges watery surface improves water quality by a Self-purification process at the M-3 station, 28km upstream from the estuary. 3. The accuracy of the model diminished when this model was applied on the estuary downstream of the sluice. Hence, the application of the model on the estuary needs to be used with caution. 4. Among the conputed water quality parameters, BOD is the worst problem. At the M-3 station, BOD is computed to be 26.6 mg/1 in 1996, 30.7 mg/1 in 2,001, 33.0 mg/l in 2006, and 37.5 mg/1 in 2011. When preventive measures against water pollution are not properly exercised, severe problems in irrigation and water resources are expected. This study will be of used in the selection of irrigation water intake points, the criteria of effluent treatment, the management of water resources, and the establishment of water quality managemont policy.

We introduce a technical equipment of GATe (Green (algae)-tide) water combine developed by K-water. The GATe water combine consists of five modules: main body and buoyant, transfer hopper, screen conveyer, sludge remover, and separator of algae and waste. Also a sprinkler, as the pre-treatment step if necessary, is equipped to the device to spread out environmental-friendly algaecide under the circumstance that the level of algal bloom does not reach to the scum-forming condition. The overall module system of this device is very simple. Based on the field test, the device covers surface area of ca. $500,000m^2day^{-1}$ during the period from May to July, and treats water volume as much as $500,000m^3day^{-1}$ in spite of some variation depending on the water quality condition. The removal efficiency of the device appeared to be over 90%. In addition, the operating duration of the device was able to expand to cover the period between March and November. We expect this new technology can be used to solve algal bloom problems in drinking water resource and public water area.

The effluent quality is directly affected by the separation of biological solids in a final clarifier because the majority of discharged $BOD_5$ and SS are virtually dependent on the results of biological solids in the sedimentation tank effluent. If a final clarifier is effectively designed and operated, the desired goal of clarification for wastewater can be achieved together with the cost reduction in the treatment of wastewater. To this end flow characteristics and the removal efficiency of SS are numerically investigated especially by the change of the inlet position and the installation of baffle to improve the performance of a rectangular final clarifier. The 2-D computer program developed in a rectangular coordinates has been successfully validated against experimental residence time distribution(RTD) curves obtained by tracing radio-isotope. The lowering of the inlet position weakens the density current and induces the settling of SS in the front zone of a clarifier. Thus the decreased traveling distance of the sludge increases the removal efficiency of SS in the effluent. The inlet baffle installed in the front region of clarifier prevents the short circuiting flow and induces to flow into the dense underflow, which eventually improves the effluent quality. In the case of lower inlet position, however, installation of baffle results in degradation of effluent quality. Consequently it is strongly recommended that in-depth numerical study be performed in advance for optimizing a clarifier design and retrofitting to improve effluent quality in a final clarifier.

This paper discusses on Electronic Payment System between U.S.A. and Canada. In particular, I focused on ACSS compare with FedACH(Fed Automated Clearing House) to advance a research effects. Because both of them is a low-value, high-volume retail payment system which their countries represent. The ACSS(Automated Clearing Settlement System) is the system through which the vast majority of CPA payment items are cleared, through various payment streams. In 2014, ACSS system cleared approximately 6.8billion payments worth a total value of $ 44.9 trillion. While, The FedACH Network are the center of America Commerce, moving more than $40 trillion each year. That's made up of almost 23 billion electronic financial transaction, including direct deposit via ACH, social security and government benefits, electronic bill payments such as utility and mortgage payments. Thus in this article, first of all, I considered features of payment system and the types of payment items between ACSS and FedAch. Second, I analyzed the status of central bank and legal background. Third, I focused on the operational policy and risk aversion policy. Lastly, I suggested that their payment and banking system have to assume, with good reason, more efficiently accurately and securely operation to protect their customer from credit risk and financial fraud.

LSIV (Large Scale Image Velcocimetry) Is one of the image-based velocity measurement techniques. Since it measures surface velocities, it gives simple and inexpensive way to measure velocity, compared to other methods. Because of these advantages, there have been many studies to apply LSIV to the river discharge measurement in the field. Measuring the discharge by using LSIV requires a method which converts a surface velocity to a mean velocity In the present study, experiments and analysis of vortical velocity profile of open-channel flow in various conditions were performed to develop methods which estimate a mean velocity from a surface velocity. The result of this experiment reveals that velocity-dip phenomena occur at free-surface layer in open channel flow and Froude number affects more than bed roughness does. Two methods for estimating the mean velocity were proposed. One is to correct the wake law's profiles by using the difference of surface velocity from the mean velocity, and the other is to use the ratio of mean and surface velocities. The result of applying these methods in an experiment shows that they are quite accurate having an error of approximately $6\%$ only.

이동식 전자파표면유속계를 이용한 홍수유량의 산정을 위해서 임의의 유량측정지점에서 측정한 표면유속 값에 수심평균유속환산계수 0.85를 적용하여 그 지점의 평균유속을 계산하고 있다. 이로 인해 각 지점에서 흐름조건 및 기상학적으로 요인으로 인한 이 계수의 변동성을 고려하지 않은 상태로 유량을 산정하게 되어 각 흐름조건을 고려한 유량산정을 할 수 없는 실정이다. 이에 하천 현장에서 표면유속과 수심별유속의 실측 자료를 이용하여 흐름조건에 따른 표면유속과 평균유속의 관계를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 용담 수자원시험유역의 동향지점에서 하천을 횡단하며 바닥에서 수표면까지 수심방향으로 0.05~0.10 m의 간격으로 프로펠러 유속계를 이용하여 정밀법으로 각 수심에서의 유속을 측정하였다. 정밀측정된 수심별 유속을 이용하여 평균유속을 산정하고 이를 수체 (water column)의 가장 최상층에서 측정한 유속을 표면유속으로 가정한후 이로부터 수심평균유속환산계수를 산정하여 흐름조건에 따른 계수의 변화를 조사하였다. 하천 현장에서 흐름조건의 변화에 따른 표면유속과 수심별유속의 정밀측정을 통한 이들 깊이별 유속의 변화여부를 용담수자원시험유역의 동향지점에서 현장조사를 실시하였다. 측정당시 풍속이 느려서 (1.5~3.1 m/s) 바람으로 인한 유속에 미치는 영향이 수심별 유속분포상으로는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 다만 양안에서 평균유속과 표면유속이 역전되는 현상이 발생되었는데 이는 벽면 마찰에 바닥마찰의 영향이 추가됨에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 수심별 유속측정 결과를 전체적으로 분석한 결과 환산계수가 0.632~1.352로 넓게 분포하고 있다. 환산계수가 1.0 이상인 경우는 양안에 인접한 두 지점인데, 이들 두 경우는 유속분포가 이론적인 유속분포와는 상반된 유속이 측정 - 표면유속이 수심평균유속보다 느림 - 되었다. 환산계수가 0.6~0.8 사이에서 형성된 경우는 표면유속이 평균유속보다 25~55% 정도 빠르게 나타나고 있다. 전제 측정결과를 검토해보면, 전반적으로 양안에 인접한 측선에서 표면유속이 평균유속보다 느려지는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 또한 유속이 1.0 m/s 이상인 경우에 0.677~0.790의 환산계수 값을 보이는데 이 경우 수심이 50 cm 이하여서 바닥마찰의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단된다. 다양한 흐름조건별 표면유속과 수심별유속의 측정을 할 수 있는 현장여건 - 유속, 수위 등의 동일흐름 조건에 대해서 -에 많은 부분이 제약되어 이의 정밀분석이 힘든 실정이다. 따라서 이러한 현장측정시의 제약성을 극복하기 위해서 여러 가지 흐름조건을 구현할 수 있는 정밀제어가 가능한 실내실험장치를 이용한 면밀한 분석이 필요하다.

To assess on the biological control potential with the native fishes, Aphyocypris chinensis, Oryzias sinensis, Misgurnus mizolepis, Pseudorasbora parva, Carassius auratus, Odontobutis interrupta were tested in relation to optimal condition controling mosquitoes in Seosan region. As a result of larvivorous activity for predation rate and temperature difference along kinds of native fishes, predation rate of Aphyocypris chinensis was the highest and predation rate of Misgurnus mizolepis was the lowest under the $23^{\circ}C$. Contrastively, predation rate of Aphyocypris chinensis and Odontobutis interrupta was the highest in least time. Predation rate of Misgurnus mizolepis was the lowest under the all temperature among six species fishes. Aphyocypris chinensis and Pseudorasbora parva in low, Carassius auratus, Misgurnus mizolepis and Odontobutis interrupta in bottom appeared high predation rate along the water depth. And predation rate of Oryzias sinensis was high as 95% at surface. As a result of measuring time taken to predate 50 mosquito larvae by 3 species fishes, two Aphyocypris chinensis took 10minutes, two Oryzias sinensis took 21min., two Misgurnus mizolepis took 45min. But one Aphyocypris chinensis and Misgurnus mizolepis took 8min., one Misgurnus mizolepis and Oryzias sinensis took 17min.

The telemetry of eight adult manchurian trouts (Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis) in the upper part of the Nakdong River, which is the southern limit of distribution of manchurian trout on the Korean peninsula, was used to examine migration patterns and evaluate characteristics of over-wintering and the spawning season between December, 2007 and May, 2008. Based on the tracking data, the tagged fish showed a limited migration between adjacent pools, moving only up to $8.6m\;day^{-1}$ during the winter season (December to February). Hydraulic conditions of over-wintering pool areas were, ca. 1m depth, slow moving surface water with areas of sand and gravel. The migration of tagged individuals was successful, moving up to $96.2m\;day^{-1}$ during the spawning season. Two tagged individuals (BL4, BL6) exhibited upstream migration, whereas others showed downstream movements. The timing of upstream migration of the two individuals was consistent with an increasing phases of water level and discharge. The fishes migrating toward the down stream moved to the wide pool areas downstream, where they spent the summer season for the growth.

As the ocean and beaches have suffered from the losses of sand, it is necessary to monitor the zones that are prone to erosion continuously with the object of the long-term management. However, each ward offices are busy trying to supply sand without analyzing the marine and beach topographic changes. Therefore a long term effect of erosion has not been shown. In this study, we proposed methods to collect accurate spatial data of the oceans and beaches through sounding and GPS surveys, and detected and analyzed topographic changes quantitatively and qualitatively, by using an integrated RS and GIS techniques. The result of this study revealed that the marine topography has been eroded for 25 years, because of the straight construction of the river and the vast development of urban features, in addition with change of the mean depth 0.40 m, the water surface area 11,028 $m^2$, and submarine volume 2,207,884 $m^3$. The beach topography has accreted for 5 years and the change of the mean elevation is 0.27m, the area 6,501 $m^2$, and volume 25,667 $m^3$, because of the installation of geogrids and the seasonal effect. We conducted monitoring works on the topographic survey of the ocean and beaches and analyzed the present condition of the coastal erosions. Therefore, it is estimated that necessary information on the supply of sand, the safe marine leisure and the management of bating place could be provided.
