The growth of Daphniphyllum macropodum at Mt. Naejang National Park(Naejang temple area) was investigated in connection with the climatic factors by the use of tree-ring analysis. A pair of cores was extracted from each of 18 trees in the D. macropodum community area near Younjabong for the analysis. The period of mater chronology based upon D. macropodum covers from 1915 to 1998. The growth rates of D. macropodum were very poor in the years 1920, 1932, 1934, 1937, 1942, 1946, 1964, 1969 and 1985, respectively. Response function was employed to understand the relationship between the growth of D. macropodum and climatic factors. The response function of the growth rates of D. macropodum indicated significant negative correlation with the precipitation of August and September. Poor growth of D. macropodum during the August and September nay be due to the frequent rain periods during the summer The heavy rain during the summer seems to decrease the solar radiation, which eventually caused the decrease of photosynthesis capacity. In conclusion, we hypothesize that the decrease of the photosynthesis rates during the rainy summer seasons may cause the slower growth of D. macropodum.

The long-lived radionuclide, $^{10}Be$, is produced by cosmic-ray effects in the atmosphere of the earth as well as its surface and that of other planetary surfaces and atmospheres. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) was developed in late 1970s, which made $^{10}Be$ terrestrial measurements more feasible. Since then, many research applications of $^{10}Be$ for both terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications have been developed, which parallel the wide range of radiocarbon ($^{14}C$) research applications. This paper summarizes production mechanisms of $^{10}Be$ both in the atmosphere and on the surface of terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments and also provides numerous $^{10}Be$ research applications in the fields of geomorphology, oceanography, archaeology, glaciology, cosmochemistry, climatology, and planetary science. We also review some $^{10}Be$ AMS research applications.

Plasma treatment and corona treatment have been used for surface modification of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film by activating its surface with the -OH group. Adhesion promoter or coupling agent was also used to improve adhesion of PDMS film with various materials. However, obtained hydrophilicity onto the surface of PDMS films with those processes was transient and vulnerable. In this study, a new alkoxysilane-functionalized acrylic polymer precursor was first synthesized by copolymerization process, and then was reacted with HO-terminated PDMS through condensation reaction to prepare a new surface modifier for PDMS film. The structure and molecular weight of the prepared surface modifier were confirmed by 1H-NMR and GPC measurement. Surface properties of surface modifier-coated PDMS films were also investigated by using XPS, ATR and WCA analysis. The adhesion between the PDMS film and the surface modifier was tested using cross-cut test.

Fe-PC와 Fe-TCPC를 합성하여 암모니아 탈착에 따른 촉매의 특성과 황화합물 및 아민류의 흡착실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) FT-IR로 분석한 결과, Fe-TCPC는 Fe-PC에 비해 카르복실기의 특성 스펙트럼이 관찰되었고, SEM/EDS로 관찰한 결과 카르복실기의 영향으로 Fe의 비율이 낮고 산소의 량은 높게 나타났으므로 표면에 카르복실기가 존재하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 2) TPD 실험에서 철 프탈로시아닌 유도체는 두 개의 피크가 저온부와 고온부에서 나타나 약산점과 강산점이 존재하고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 탈착량은 Fe-TCPC가 Fe-PC보다 고온부에서 강산량점량이 많았고 저온부에서 약산점량은 적게 나타난 것으로 보아 Fe-TCPC가 표면에 카르복실기의 화학적흡착 영향으로 강산점에서 많은 탈착이 일어났음을 의미한다. 3) Fe-TCPC는 Fe-PC보다 비표면적과 세공부피가 많았고, 과산화수소의 분해효율이 높아 촉매적 성질이 우수하였으며, 또한 입자의 크기도 작았음을 확인하였다. 이는 모든 조건에서 Fe-TCPC가 Fe-PC보다 흡착능력이 우수한 것으로 예측된다. 4)카르복실기가 치환된 철 프탈로시아닌 유도체의 제거효율은 아민화합물이 우수하지만 황화합물에서 다소 낮게 나타났다. 이 결과로 보아 아민류에 효과가 있는 카르복실 철 프탈로시아닌을 착색제로 사용하면 탈취 기능을 가진 안료가 될 것으로 생각된다.

Analysis of high-resolution seismic profiles acquired from the southeastern continental shelf of Korea reveals that the late Quaternary transgressive deposits consist of six seismic units created in response to sea-level rise. These units with different seismic facies and geometry can be grouped into two distinct depositional wedges (paralic and marine) bounded by a ravinement surface. The paralic component underlying the ravinement surface consists of the sediment preserved from shoreface erosion and contains incised-channel fill, ancient beach-shoreface deposit and estuarine deposit. The top of paralic unit is truncated by a ravinement surface and overlain by marine component. The marine component consists of the sediment produced through shoreface erosion during landward transgression and contains mid-shelf sand sheet, mid-shelf sand ridge and inner shelf sand sheet. Such transgressive stratigraphic architecture of six sedimentary units is controlled by a function of lateral changes in the balance among rates of relative sea-level rise, sediment input and marine processes at any given time.

A simulation model was used to examine the effects of climate variation on the tree-ring structure of Larix leptolepis trees growing at a plantation plot in Worak National Park in central Korea. The model uses mathematical equations to simulate processes affecting cell(tracheid) size variations for individual rings using daily precipitation and temperature measurements. Limiting conditions are estimated from temperature, day length and a calculated water balance. The results indicate that the seasonal growth is mostly limited by the soil moisture content and precipitation income during April and May. The April-May temperature also inversely influences the growth by increasing water losses from soil. The global climate-change scenario which includes regional warming(increasing temperature in spring-summer periods) appears to decrease the duration of optimal growths. Consequently, the model estimated that Larix leptolepis would lose the total production of xylem by 25%.

Tephrochronology uses regional tephra for age dating and stratigraphic correlations. Regional tephras are important in Quaternary geology and archaeology because they can be used as stratigraphic time-markers. In this review, identification and dating methods of tephra are summarized. In addition, the characteristics of regional tephras in terrestrial deposits of the Korean Peninsula are elaborated, and geological applications and limitations of the regional tephra layers are also discussed. So far, AT, Ata, and Kb-Ks tephra layers from Kyushu, Japan have been found in Pleistocene paleosol, marine terrace deposits, and lacustrine deposits in Korea. Also, although not officially confirmed, Aso-4 tephra is likely to occur in terrestrial deposits. The regional tephra layers are vital for dating, especially with regard to sediments over 50 ka beyond the range of radiocarbon dating, and for dating of active faults. Furthermore, it can provide important information for preparing countermeasures against volcanic disasters. However, in order to use the tephra layer geologically, it must be confirmed whether it is a primary deposit based on sedimentological study.

낙동강 하구 제4기 홀로세 퇴적층에 대한 연구의 하나로 김해평야에 분포하는 점토퇴적층 (부산점토)을 대상으로 지구물리탐사를 실시하였다. 연구는 제한적인 몇 개의 지역에 대해 예비연구로 시행되었다. 그 결과 수직탐사에 의한 누적 전기비저항이 지층의 특성을 가장 잘 반영해 주었다. 점토층은 2.0~3.0$\Omega$ㆍm 이하의 전기비저항을 가지며 낙동강에 인접할수록 비저항의 크기는 다소 증가하였다. 이러한 방법은 상대적인 지층의 대비에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이며 객관성을 가지기 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

제한 제어 계통은 원자력발전소의 주요계통의 운전상태를 감지하여 운전변수들의 이상 기동이 예상되면 적절한 제한조치를 자동으로 수행하여 원자로 트립이 일어나는 것을 미연에 방지한다. 한 계통의 고장으로 인한 이상상태가 발생하면 국부제어기는 그 국소성 때문에 그 상황을 제대로 다루지 못할 경우가 생긴다. 따라서 고장의 원인을 정확히 파악하고 그에 대한 적절한 대처를 할 수 있는 높은 수준의 지능적 제한 재어 알고리즘이 필요하게 되며 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 칼만 필터를 이용하여 원전의 상태변수를 추정하고 퍼지로직을 이용하여 고장을 파악하고 적절한 조치를 수행할 수 있는 제한 제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이를 영광 3/4호기 원전의 이상 상태에 대하여 모의 적용함으로써 그 유용성을 보여주었다.
