The introduction of invasive marine species of living things into new environments by ship's ballast water, attached to ships' hulls and via other vectors has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world's oceans by Global Environment Facility(GEF). Making use of the new technology of alpha-AL$_2$O$_3$ dielectric barrier layer, the strong electric-field gas discharge was introduced and obtained between micro-gap electrodes at high pressure (∼105㎩) of $O_2$ in air and $H_2O$ in seawater. The mixed air with $H_2O$ could be ionized and dissociated into large numbers of activated particles of OH, $O_2$＋, O(1D), HO$_2$ and so on, and then dissolved into the ballast water to form dissolved hydroxyl radical with the concentration of ∼20mg/L. Therefore, the invasive marine species was treated effectively through the hydroxyl radical dissolved pipeline of ballast water by strong electric -field discharge.

Widespread use of Internet despite numerous positive aspects resulted in increased number of system intrusions and the need for enhanced security mechanisms is urgent. Systematic collection and analysis of log data are essential in intrusion investigation. Unfortunately existing logs are stored in diverse and incompatible format thus making an automated intrusion investigation practically impossible. We examined the types of log data essential in intrusion investigation and implemented a tool to enable systematic collection and efficient analysis of voluminous log data. Our tool based on RBDMS and SQL provides graphical and user-friendly interface. We describe our experience of using the tool in actual intrusion investigation and explain how our tool can be further enhanced.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to external intrusions due to the wireless communication characteristics and limited hardware resources. Thus, the attacker can cause sinkhole attack while intruding the network. INSENS is proposed for preventing the sinkhole attack. INSENS uses the three symmetric keys in order to prevent such sinkhole attacks. However, the sinkhole attack occurs again, even in the presence of INSENS, through the compromised node because INSENS does not consider the node being compromised. In this paper, we propose a method to counter the sinkhole attack by considering the compromised node, based on the neighboring nodes' information. The goals of the proposed method are i) network reliability improvement and ii) energy conservation through effective prevention of the sinkhole attack by detecting compromised nodes. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can save up to, on average, 19.90% of energy while increasing up to, on average, 71.50%, the report reliability against internal sinkhole attacks in comparison to INSENS.

Vulpia octoflora (Walter) Rydb.가 경기도 여주시 강천리 일대에서 발견되었다. 본 종은 북아메리카 원산으로 알려져 있으며, 최근 호주와 일본, 우크라이나에서 침입외래식물로 보고된 바 있다. V. octoflora는 주로 건조한 건조한 모래나 자갈 모래밭에 자라는 잡초성 식물로, 도로변을 따라 개방된 지역이나 인위적 교란 지역에서 빈번하게 발견된다. 학자에 따라 북아메리카 지역에 분포하는 개체들의 지리적 분포와 형태 변이를 근거로 종하분류군으로 세분화하기도 하지만, 형태 변이의 일관성 부족으로 인해 종내 변이로 인식하여 통합하여 처리하는 것이 타당하게 여겨진다. 본 종은 최근에 국내에 보고된 침입외래식물인 들묵새아재비와 유사하나, 소수당 달리는 소화의 수가 더 많고, 호영 정단부의 까락의 길이가 짧은 것으로 명확히 구분된다. 좀들묵새에 대한 생태계 위해성 연구는 진행된 바 없으나, 최초 발견지인 여주시 강천섬 일대는 멸종위기 2등급종인 단양쑥부쟁이의 자생지이기 때문에, 새롭게 유입된 외래식물의 잠재적 생태 교란에 따른 위해성 평가 및 확산 방지를 위한 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 주요 형질에 대한 기재와, 지리적 분포, 도해도, 화상자료와 국내에 분포하는 동속 분류군과의 검색표를 제공하고자 한다.

타조알의 형성은 배란된 난자가 나팔관과 난백분비부, 협부, 자궁 그리고 총배설강을 통과하면서 완전한 형태의 알로 산란된다. 그리고 1 clutch size가 40$\pm$15개 정도이다. 알의 크기는 1,450g에서 200~400g의 변이가 있는 것으로 본다. 타조의 난질에는 cuticle 층이 없어서 병원균의 침입에 약하다. 그리고 알의 껍질은 2mm 정도로 두꺼우며 그주요 성분은 달걀의 껍질에서와 마찬가지로 calcium carbonate이다 타조알의수거는 수놈의 방해가 없도록 하여야 하며 bacteria나 fungi의 침입이 업도록 하여야 한다. 수거된 알은 저장하였다가 부화기의 수용능력이 되면 부화를 시작한다. 부화 전에 아를 저장할 경우 15~18$^{\circ}C$로 저장실 온도를 유지하면 7일 정도 저장이 가능하지만 7일 이상 저장할 경우 12$^{\circ}C$로 저장온도를 낮추고 이때 상대습도는 75%로 유지하는 것이 이상적이다. 부화기의 온도는 36.0~36.5$^{\circ}C$가 이상적이며 이때 이상적인 습도는 35%이하이어야 한다. 또 부화중 전란을 하여야 하는데 대개 한시간에 한번씩 74~90。로 전란 해주는 것이 바람직하다. 부화에 적당한 알은 기형적으로 크거나 작으면 부화율을 높이지 못한다.

During the period from 2001 to 2005, 29,892 burglaries took place in Korea with the approximate average annual number - 5,978 cases. This study was conducted to analyze the reported burglaries and the result was summarized as follows. There were 8,605 residential invasion burglaries (28.8%) as the most frequent characteristic pattern. The exit was used as the most frequent invasion route for 4,031 invasion burglaries (64.3%), and an unlocked exit door or window was used as the most frequent invasion method for 2,462 invasion burglaries (28.6%). The hours just after midnight (between 00:00 and 04:00) were the most frequent time for invasion burglary to occur. Also, 5,652 burglaries occurred on Wednesday which was twice higher than on Sunday (2,988 burglaries). It was shown that the number of persons injured during burglaries were 260 deaths and 10,610 injuries. The places of the highest occurrence were the street with 10,183 burglaries (34%) and then residential place with 7,527 burglaries (approximately 25%). One-man burglary was the highest complicity: 15,012 offenders (56.1%). The knife was used as the most frequent instrument for 6,498 burglaries (24,3%) what is rare, while no criminal tool or instrument was used for 15,631 burglaries (58.4). During the period from 2001 to 2006, 1,506 burglaries occurred in Daegu and the average annual number was 251 burglaries. Among those,515 residential invasion burglaries (34.2%) took place and the average annual number was approximately 86 cases. The hours just after midnight (between 00:00 and 04:00) were the most frequent time for invasion burglary to occur (194 cases, 37.7%), the place of the highest invasion occurrence was the residential place (259 cases, 50.3%), and the exit was used as the most frequent invasion route (87 cases, 37.7%). An unlocked exit door or window was the most frequent invasion method (65 cases, 25.1%). In addition, pretending to be a delivery man, visitor or following the victim methods were used for 26 burglaries (10%). It is apparent that personal preventive measures against crimes, as well as governmental and social measures, play an important role in preventing burglaries. In particular, based on the analyzed result that an unlocked window or exit door was most frequently used for reported burglaries, it seems that there is a lack of understanding of crime prevention while little effort has been made to prevent crimes. Although everyone knows that locking a door is one of the basic measures to prevent crimes, many people tend to pay little attention to lock a door properly so burglary takes place. This study, therefore, is intended to encourage people to pay more careful attention to crime prevention, in order to help reduce the probability of burglary. With the recent improvement in social understanding of scientific crime investigation, a wide variety of police professions, including crime analysts, crime victim police counselors and coroners, have been prepared to develop the scientific crime investigation and crime analysis. In addition, it is hoped that further this study will contribute to encourage studies on crime prevention to be carried out in the future.

Salt wedge into the river from the sea or fresh water flume (fresh wedge) in the ocean from the sea has density current characteristics. However, when temperature and salinity simultaneously determine the density of wedges, one of salinity and temperature can distributed in the reversed profiles against gravity, even though the density profile is stable. In this case, the double diffusive process is critical in determining mixing rate. The present work studies relative contribution of shear driven mechanical mixing component and double diffusive layering process, when warm salty denser water is introduced into the cold fresh lighter water column. Laboratory experiment releases warm salty denser water into cold fresh lighter water controlling discharge amount to achieve the steady state of density current. When longitudinal density rate becomes 15, the released amount ratio of salt and heat changes sharply and in the releasing point, vigorous mixing occurs with increase of discharged amount due to double diffusion. Double diffusion distabilizes gravitational stability and enhances the mixing rate up to $6{\times}10$ times at the lower density ratio comparing to the higher density ratio.

The invasive red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is native to south-central United States and northeastern Mexico. Recently, it has been being spreading in the wild in South Korea. However, its primary sources, introduction routes, establishment, and expansion in South Korea remain unclear. Here, we analyzed genetic diversity and population genetic structures of its domestic natural populations during early invasion, commercial stock from local aquaria (a suspected introduction source), and original United States population using mitochondrial COI gene sequences for 267 individuals and eight microsatellite markers for 158 individuals. Natural and commercial populations of P. clarkii showed reduced genetic diversity (e.g., haplotype diversity and allelic richness). The highest genetic diversity was observed in one original source population based on both genetic markers. Despite a large number of individuals in commercial aquaria, we detected remarkably low genetic diversity and only three haplotypes among 226 individuals, suggesting an inbred population likely originating from a small founder group. Additionally, the low genetic diversity in the natural population indicates a small effective population size during early establishment of P. clarkii in South Korea. Interestingly, genetic differentiation between natural populations and the United States population was lower than that between natural populations and aquarium populations. This suggests that various genetic types from the United States likely have entered different domestic aquariums, leading to distinct natural populations through separate pathways. Results of our study will provide an insight on the level of genetic divergence and population differentiation during the initial stage of invasion of non-indigenous species into new environments.

Using 171 groundwater chemistry data, seawater intrusion in the Ulsan area was studied. The area near the downstream area of the Taehwa River shows the higher Cl concentrations(11,300 mg/L in maximum), whereas the Cl concentrations are generally low in the eastern coastal area maybe due to the geology of the area. When Cl concentrations are very low, groundwater shows Br:Cl weight ratios significantly deviating from the Br:Cl ratio of seawater($34.7{\times}10^{-4}$). However, Br:Cl ratios are very close to the value of seawater when Cl concentrations are higher than 100 mg/L. Eleven groundwater samples having very high Cl concentrations(>500 mg/L) show that ionic ratios for Ca, Mg, $SO_4$, $HCO_3$ and $SiO_2$ are considerably different from those of seawater. This indicates that the origin of the high Cl groundwaters occurring along the Taehwa River are likely to be the residual salines from the salterns previously located on the alluviums rather than the seawaters intruded recently. These waters seem to be accumulated in the sediments before the drastic expansion of the city. Considering the characteristics of the urban groundwater system where the inflow exceeds the outflow, it is anticipated that the high Cl concentration in the groundwater show a decreasing trend in the future.
