The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of abandoned paddy fields as wetland ecosystems and their suitability as habitats for various species. Physical and chemical characteristics of soils and the change of vegetation in paddy fields were analysed -with the passage of time after cease of cultivation. The results of analyses for soil characteristics, vegetation succession, and functional values of abandoned paddy fields as wetlands were as follows: First, top soils become coarser as years after abandonment increase. Second, as the years of abandonment passed. there were significant differences in organic matter, available phosphorate and calcium, while not in magnesium and cation exchange capacity(CEC). Third, species increased from early stage till middle stage, and decreased in late stage. In similarity analysis of species composition, sites were classified into three groups according to the stage of succession. Upper and lower terraces at Daetgol were classified as early stage of succession. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd terraces at Nonbanggol were in middle stage, while tile 4th and 5th were in late stage. Forth, according to evaluation sheets of MoE and RAM(Rapid Assessment Method) standards, me overall average of functional value of Nonbanggol site were 2.13, classified as "common".

When we evaluate slope stability, we regard the slope homogeneous and evaluate slope stability at the most dangerous portion of slope. However, since conditions and properties of rock mass/soil are different from one location to another within a single slope, slope stability evaluated by current concept can not represent slope correctly. This also result in over-reinforcement at the portion where reinforcement is not necessary. In order to solve these problems, we suggest a cell unit evaluation method in which we apply small rectangular cells in a slope and regard each cell as a single slope. In this method, slopes are classified into soil slope and rock slope depending on materials. Strength of rock, volumetric joint count, spacing of joints, condition of joints, ground water condition and so on are examined and SMR and condition index values are calculated. Finally, all data and results are presented as contour maps. We apply the cell unit evaluation method into 3 cut slopes. SMR values estimated by the new method are larger than those by current concept at most portions of slope, indicating that the new method suggested by this research represent slope stability more correctly than methods which were used. This method will prevent over-reinforcement at the portion of slope where reinforcement is not necessary.

Field observations have been conducted to investigate the physical environment around oyster farms in Gamak Bay. Tidal waves near the two channels at the northeast and south of the bay had almost the same amplitudes and phases. Water temperature responded sensibly to the tides, rising at high water and falling at low water, except for the northwest region. The currents more regularly varied in accordance with a tidal period as long as they are at the faster-flowing region. A considerable flow has been found near the seabed of the northwest of the bay, normally known to be a stagnant area, and also the flow was opposite to the surface flow. Average moving speeds and directions of the flow at each station coincided well with patterns of the residual currents computed by Lee ef al. [2004], except for the northwest region. The discrepancy for the northwest region is not clear but it may have resulted from the facts that the computed flow pattern represents only the case of spring tide and in addition, a northwesterly wind prevailed all the observation time.

This study was conducted to investigate suitable seeding rate under irrigation water-saving rice culture in ridge direct seeding on dry paddy during 1997~1998. Dongjinbyeo was seeded from 60 kg/ha to 120 kg/ha on silty loam condition. The number of irrigation from 3-leaf stage to complete drainage were 7.5 times and total amount of irrigation was 258.75 mm. The number of seedling stand rose with the increase of seeding rate, whereas the rate of seedling stand was decreased with the increase of it. Soil moisture tension was -2kPa at one day after stopped irrigation and lowered to -30kPa at five days after stopped irrigation. Leaf area index and shoot dry weight were increased with rising of seeding rate. Lodging index was increased with the rising of seeding rate, but lodging was not showed in field. Heading date, percent ripened grain and 1,000 grain weight had no difference with seeding rate, and number of spikelets per m$^2$ were highest at the rate of 100 kg/ha. Rice yield was increased by 9% at the seeding rate of 100 kg/ha and 4% at the rate of 80 kg/ha and 120 kg/ha compared with 60 kg/ha. Therefore, it was considered that appropriate seeding rate was 100 kg/ha under water-saving culture in ridge direct seeding on dry paddy.

Pd/Si/Ti/Pt and Pd/Si/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contacts to n-type InCaAs were investigated for applications to AlGaAs/GaAs HBT emitter ohmic contacts. In the Pd/Si/Ti/Pt ohmic contact, as-deposited contact showed non-ohmic behavior, and high specific contact resistivity of $5\times10^{-3}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by rapid thermal annealing at $375^{\circ}C$/10 sec. However, the specific contact resistivity decreased remarkably to $2\times10^{-6}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ by annealing at $425^{\circ}C$/10sec. In the Pd/Si/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contact, minimum specific contact resistivity of $3.9\times10^{-7}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by annealing at $400^{\circ}C$/20sec. In both ohmic contacts, low contact resistivity and non-spiking planar interface between ohmic materials and InGaAs were maintained. Therefore, these thermally stable ohmic contact systems are promising candidates for compound semiconductor devices. RF performance of the AlGaAs/GaAs HBT was also examined by employing the Pd/Si/Ti/Pt and Pd/Si/Pd/Ti/Au systems as emitter ohmic contacts. Cutoff frequencies were 63.9 ㎓ and 74.4 ㎓, respectively, and maximum oscillation frequencies were 50.1 ㎓ and 52.5 ㎓, respectively. It shows very successful high frequency operations.

농경지 중에서 밭은 논보다 농약 비료 사용률이 매우 높기 때문에 논에 비해 비점오염물질 배출량이 훨씬 심각한 것으로 조사되고 있어 밭경지 비점오염저감기법 개발 및 체계적인 제어대책 수립이 무엇보다도 절실하다. 현재 선진국을 중심으로 다양하게 제시되고 있는 밭경지 비점오염 제어기법들 중 초생대에 대한 성공적 연구사례 및 적용사례에 대한 자료가 상당히 많이 제시되고 있으나, 우리나라의 경우 초생대를 적용한 밭경지 비점오염저감에 대한 기술개발 및 체계적인 연구가 아직 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 초생대의 현장설치 및 모니터링을 통해 초생대의 비점오염부하 저감효과에 대한 기초조사를 실시하고 우리나라 밭경지에서의 적용가능성을 알아보고자 한다. 초생대 현장 실험을 위한 시험포는 경상북도 군위군 효령면에 위치한 경북대 농생대 부속농장 밭경지 $1,500m^2$ (455평)를 선정하였다. 시험포는 1개의 대조구와 6개의 처리구로 구성하였으며, 각 시험구의 크기는 길이 12m ${\times}$ 폭 4m (초생대 길이 2m ${\times}$ 폭 4m 포함)로 하였다. 초생대 조성을 위한 초종선정은 초생대 조성이 용이하고 관리효율성이 높은 초종으로서 손쉽게 구할 수 있고, 우리나라 기후와 토양특성에 적합하며 초생대 기능에 부합한 것으로 선정하였다. 초생대 시험포장에 재배할 작물은 우리나라 대표 밭작물인 콩으로 선정하였으며, 작물재배를 위한 퇴비, 비료, 제초제 등은 농촌진흥청에서 제시한 표준재배법에 준하여 시용하였다. 초생대 비점오염저감효과를 평가하기 위해서 시험포장에 플륨, 수위계, 강우계 등으로 구성된 모니터링시스템을 설치하였으며, 플륨의 수위-유량 캘리브레이션을 실시하였다. 실험을 위해 2회의 인공강우와 1회의 자연강우에 대한 모니터링을 실시하였다. 그 결과 초생대 조성이 유출률에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 인공강우의 경우 초생대 설치에 따라 유출률의 범위가 14.5~95.8% 정도로 감소되는 현상을 보였으며, 자연강우에서도 6.1~11.3% 정도의 유출률 감소를 보였다. 초생대 시험구별 유출률에 차이를 나타낸 이유는 현장실험시의 시험구별 지면조건과 초생대 초종별 특성(초장, 경경, 밀도 등)의 차이에 기인한 결과로 사료되었다. 비점오염저감효과 측면에서는 기존 밭농사 방식을 그대로 채택한 대조구에 비해 초생대 시험구에서 TS의 경우 15.6~90.3%, T-P의 경우 49.9~87.8%, T-N의 경우 6.7~91.1%의 저감율을 각각 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 초생대 기법이 우리나라 밭경지 비점오염부하를 저감시키는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The co-pyrolysis characteristics of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) mixtures with various mixing ratios and effect of addition of CaO and $Cu_2O$ have been studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In an isothermal decomposition conducted at $500^{\circ}C$, the yields of styrene monomers and aromatic compounds increased as the mixing ratio of ABS increased, and the yield of BTX compounds reached its maximum (16.14%) when the mixing ratios of PVC and ABS was 4:1. In an isothermal decomposition added with metal oxides, the maximum yield of liquid product was 73% when CaO [CaO/(PVC+ABS)=0.4] was added and it was 70% when $Cu_2O$ [$Cu_2O$/(PVC+ABS)=0.4] was added, respectively, where HCl contained in the gaseous product was completely removed when added with CaO [CaO/(PVC+ABS)=0.5] and $Cu_2O$ [$Cu_2O$/(PVC+ABS)=1.0]. Therefore, to obtain the highest yield of liquid product it appears to be the reaction condition: the reaction temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ and mixing ratios of CaO and $Cu_2O$ are 0.5 and 1.0, respectively.

For the investigation of microbiological and immunological specificity of Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides gingivalis were isolated, enumerated and characterized from 13 Korean rapidly progressive periodontitis and 7 healthy control by anaerobic culture technique. The total proportion of black-pigmented Bacteroides from Korean R.P.P. patients and healthy control were 8.78% and 0.92%, respectively, among total isolated black-pigmented Bacteroides. In antibiotic susceptibility test, Bacteroides gingivalis isolated from R.P.P. patients were sensitive to Ampicillin and Tetracycline, and resistant to Gentamicin and Erythromycin in disc diffusion method. In antibiotic broth dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) to Bacteroides gingivalis was 2 unit/ml of Penicillin and $0.25{\sim}1{\mu}g/ml$ of Tetracycline, respectively. The concentration of serum IgG in rapidly progressive periodontitis patients were sigificantly higher than that of healthy control, and concentration of diluted gingival crevicular IgG has not any significant differences between two groups. Serum and gingival crevicular IgG antibody to Bacteroides gingivalis were significantly higher titer in rapidly progressive periodontitis patients to compare with healthy control. The lipopolysaccharide profiles of 2 Korean B. gingivalis in silver stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were similar to type strains of B. gingivalis and typical LPS band were appeared around the 24-Kd molecular weight. Immunodiffusion test and immunoelectrophoresis of the L.P.S. extracted from 2 Korean B. gingivalis and 2 kinds of type strains of B. gingivalis showed that B. gingivalis Korean-1 was reacted identically to B. gingivalis ATCC 33277. In trypsin and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity test of 2 Korean B. gingivalis, both of them revealed positive trypsin and negative ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, respectively. These investigation suggested that B. gingivalis is important pathogenic plaque bacteria for the pathogenesis of periodontitis and further study is needed to purify and characterize of the species-specific antigens of this organisms to develop monoclonal antibody and potential diagnostic reagents.

Reducing power consumption to extend network lifetime is one of the most important challenges in designing wireless sensor networks. One promising approach to conserving system energy is to keep only a minimal number of sensors active and put others into low-powered sleep mode, while the active sensors can maintain a connected covet set for the target area. The problem of computing such minimum working sensor set is NP-hard. In this paper, a centralized Voronoi tessellation (CVT) based approximate algorithm is proposed to construct the near optimal cover set. When sensor's communication radius is at least twice of its sensing radius, the covet set is connected at the same time; In case of sensor's communication radius is smaller than twice of its sensing radius, a connection scheme is proposed to calculate the assistant nodes needed for constructing the connectivity of the cover set. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through theoretical analysis and extensive numerical experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the greedy algorithm in terms of the runtime and the size of the constructed connected cover set.

The present study examines some essays by Yi Seol (李?, 1850-1906; pen name Bogam), a government official at the end of the Joseon Dynasty. Written in Classical Chinese, the essays are contained in The Collected Essays of Bogam (Bogam munjib). The study begins with a brief review on the Yeonan Yi Clan to which the official's family belonged, and then on his personal life history. The study goes on to analyze the contents of Yi's essays, which are classified into two themes: 1) his affirmation of the contemporary idea that saw the world as divided into the Chinese and the Barbarians, which justified and reinforced his resistance against Japan; and 2) his views on how to regain social stability. Concerning the former theme, Yi asserts that Joseon should not betray Qing China and should purge his nation of Japanese influence. Naming Japan as the evil enemy of Joseon, Yi expresses his firm resistance against the neighboring nation. As for the latter theme, his essays put forth an array of suggestions on how to disband the Donghak rebels, who emerged at the end of Joseon, and how to restore people displaced in the aftermath of social uprising. Although the suggestions are mostly general ones, he repeatedly stresses the importance of social stability in some of his essays addressed to the king.
