The allelopathic effects of rice and barley straws on lettuce germination and weed growth were investigated. The grinded straw of rice significantly inhibited lettuce germination. Both rice and barley straws decreased weed growth when they were used as a mulch in the field. Rice straw mulch applied with 500g/$m^2$ and 700g/$m^2$ decreased dry weight of Alopecurus aequalis more than 35%. Barley straw mulch applied with 200 g/$m^2$ inhibited dry weight of Echinochloa curs-galli and Digitaris sanguinalis, while the straw applied with 300 g/$m^2$ decreased those by 97%.

As global trade and maritime port environments change, the need to respond to larger and faster ships is increasing. Accordingly, new ports are being built around metropolitan cities such as Busan and Ulsan. In general, a compaction method using sand or gravel is applied to the construction of a new port. However, due to the lack of sand or gravel and the difficulty in securing economic feasibility due to the increase in unit price, the deep mixing method has recently been used. Therefore, in this study, CMD-SOIL using circulating resources was applied to the Ulsan area, and the applicability was determined by analyzing the laboratory mixing test and boring results at in-situ. As a result of the test, it was analyzed that it showed more than the design mixing strength, and it was possible to secure the similar performance as blast furnace slag cement. In addition, it was analyzed that the design standard strength can be sufficiently secured as a result of in-situ boring. Therefore, considering the field applicability in the Ulsan, it is judged that the use of CMD-SOIL is possible.

To investigate the relationship between compressive strength ($q_u$) of Lightweight Air-mixed soil (LAS) and its physical deformation coefficient ($E_{50}$), a series of unconfined compressive tests have been performed on specimens of LAS according to various dredged soil types by percentage of sand, silt and clay. From the results it was found that the cement content ($C_i$) and unit weight (${\gamma}_m$) are most influence factors on strength, and percentage of sand, silt, clay by grain size analysis (KS F2302) have more effect on compressive strength than other physical properties of soil. It was also found that the rate of strength (a) increases with curing time, but it reduces with the increase of percentage of clay ($C_%$).

Leslie Marmon Silko, in her novel Gardens in the Dunes, primarily focuses on revealing the white colonialists' plan to exterminate and destroy American Indians and their culture. In this regard, this novel is clearly an Indian counter narrative to interrogate and abrogate the authority of the oppressive and destructive discourse of the whites who are full of colonialist impulses to sterilize Indians and their culture. However, it should be noted that Silko is very careful not to insist on cultural exclusivism and reverse ethnocentrism, since these only mean a return to the violent colonialists' discourse based on dualism and cultural authenticity which, she believes, has led to the marginalization and eventual deterioration of Indians and their culture. White values and culture are something to recognize and tolerate as long as they are not the products of witchery, also known as the destroyer or evil for Silko, which promotes disruption and antagonism between races and classes. As she reveals in her interview, her major concern in the novel is to dismantle political and/or racial distinctions like Native Americans versus EuroAmericans and thus to enhance the idea of the reconciliation and coexistence of whites and Indians. Silko's Gardens in the Dunes can be regarded as an experiment in the possibility of the universal and homogeneous (at least in its roots) global culture which tolerates all forms of culture. Global culture does not mean a uniform totalitarian culture but a vision of a harmonious world characterized by hybridity and heterogeneity, in which different cultures associate freely without the notion of inferiority or superiority of any one culture. Silko's belief in syncretism emphasizes the spirit of tolerance and exchange between different cultures, dismantling the authority of exclusive ethnocentrism. The ultimate message implied in Gardens in the Dunes is that the syncretic spirit is not only an effective means to correct the white colonialists' hegemonic desire aimed at the extermination of Indians and their culture but also a source of energy for the life and prosperity of modern Indians and their societies.

Currently about 3.2 millon tons of waste lime are accumulated and annually 100,000 tons are producted. This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of soil mixed with waste lime for reusing of roadbed embanking material. Waste lime used in this study is producted as a by-product in the manufacturing process of making $Na_2CO_3$ from local chemical factory in Incheon. In this study, the feasible reuse of waste lime mixed with granite weathered soil, clay, crushed rock was investigated through laboratory tests including specific gravity test, sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, atterberg limit test, compaction test, unconfined compressive test, CBR test, permeability test, shear test, and abrasion test. The mixing rate is granite weathered soil, clay, crushed rock 80 % respectively and waste lime 20 % by weight. From the test results, it is shown that the waste lime and soil mixtures satisfy the criteria as road embanking material specification.

The purpose of this research was to develop ideal substrates for the production of good quality tomatoes in bag culture system and also to improve media with low or no environmental pollution by blending and mixing artificial substrate including peatmoss, perlite, vermiculite, granular rockwool, polyphenol resin foam, bark, and smoked rice hull. The highly efficient media proved by experiments were vermiculite, smoked rice hull, polyphenol resin foam, granular rockwool, and perlite, which showed good results in the early growth as well as the marketable yield of tomato in the bag culture. Tomato plants grown in the media mixed with peatmoss, vermiculite and granular rockwool at the ratio of 3 : 1 : 1(by volume) showed the highest marketable yield, and the next at the ratio of 2 : 1 : 1. The perlite-granular rockwool mixtures at the ratio of 2 : 3 and 1 : 4, and the peatmoss vermiculite mixtures at the ratio of 2 : 3 and 3 : 2, seemed to be promising media for bag culture.

Domestic water treatment plants operate the rapid and slow filtering system using the filtering sands. Most of them are composed of beach sands, which have less sorption capacity of heavy metals as well as organic contaminants. Therefore, the development of fortified functional filtering materials with high removal capacity of organic and inorganic contaminants is needed to prevent the unexpected load of contaminated source water. This study aims to test the hydrochemical change and the removing capacity of heavy metals such as Cd, Cu, and Pb on the Jumunjin sand, feldspathic sand(weathering product of Jecheon granite), feldspathic mixing sand I(feldspathic sand mixed with 10 wt% zeolite), and feldspathic mixing sand II (feldspathic sand mixed with 20 wt% zeolite). Feldspathic mixing sand I and II showed the eruption of higher amounts of cations and anions compared with the Jumunjin sand and feldspathic sand. They also showed higher eruption of Si, Ca, $SO_4$ ions than that of Al, $NO_3$, Fe, K, Mg, and P. Feldspathic mixing sand II caused higher eruption of some cations of Na, Ca, Al than feldspathic mixing sud I, which is the result controlled by the dissolution of zeolite. Jumunjin sand and feldspathic sand showed very weak sorption of Cd, Cu and Pb. In contrast to this, feldspathic mixing sand I and II showed the high sorption and removal capacity of the increasing order of Cd, Cu and Pb. Feldspathic mixing sand II including 20% zeolite showed a fortified removal capacity of some heavy metals. Therefore, feldspathic mixing sand mixed with some contents of zeolite could be used as the fortified filtering materials for the water filtering and purification in the domestic water treatment plants.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the mechanical prospeities of the inter mediate soils through consolidation tests and triaxial compression shear tests. The intermediate soils used in this study are artificial soils which are composed of sea clay, sand and it's crushed component. The relationship between plastic index and mechanical prosperties (permeability and compressibility) is investigated through series of consoli dation tests. Strain hardening phenomenon under shearing is explored based on several overconsideration ratios and strain rates in undrained shear tests. To make a comparative study difference of drain condition and strain rate, drain shear tests are performed with overconsolidation ratio.

본 연구에서는 국내하천을 대상으로 하상재료에 따른 조도계수 변화를 분석하였다. 조도계수 분석은 수위, 유량, 하천 단면 등을 직접 측정하여 미지질조사국에서 개발한 ncalc모형을 이용하였고 하상재료 분석은 ISO4364, ISO9195 기준으로 실시하였다. 조사 대상하천은 총 17개 하천으로 거석, 호박돌, 자갈, 모래 등 다양한 하상재료 특성을 반영할 수 있는 지점으로 선정하였다. 하상 재료 크기 $D_{50}$을 기준으로 하여 모래 자갈 혼합 하천이라 할 수 있는 2mm${\sim}$32mm 구간, 자갈 하천인 32mm${\sim}$64mm 구간, 호박돌 하천인 64mm${\sim}$128mm, 거석 하천인 128mm 이상으로 구분하였다. 분석 결과 실측 자료를 이용하여 계산된 조도계수는 유량에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 고유량에서 0.04이하로 수렴하는 결과를 보였다. 이를 하상재료 크기에 따라 구분 지을 경우 입경이 커질수록 유량에 따른 변화 폭이 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 하상재료 입경의 크기가 64mm 이하인 하천의 경우 조도계수 변화 범위가 최대 0.02 로 나타난 반면 입경크기가 64mm이상인 하천에서는 최대 0.20 까지 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 조도계수는 일반적으로 수위 증가에 따라 흐름에 저항을 주는 요인들이 침수되면서 감소한다고 보고되었다. 하천의 하상재료 입경이 클 경우 저수위에서 하상재료에 의한 저항요인이 크게 발생되어 수면경사, 흐름 특성 등 조도계수에 영향을 주는 요인들이 생기는 것으로 판단된다.

금강 퇴적물의 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 상류에서 하류까지 21개의 표층 퇴적물을 채취하고 총금속(Al, Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb) 입도별 금속 및 존재형태별 금속을 분석하였다. 또한 하천에서 연안역까지 미량금속의 공간적 변화를 보기 위해 부유물 을 일정 간격으로 채취하여 미량금속을 분석하였다. 퇴적물 중 미량 금속 함량을 평균 입도 와 밀접히 관계하여 변화하며 세립질실트 이하 부분에서 가장높은 함량을 보였고 이 높은 함량은 하천 부유물 중 금속 함량과 Mn을 제외하고 거의 유사한 수준이었다. Pb은 조립질 모래에서도 높은 함량을 보이는데 이는 조립질 모래에 많이 포함된 정장석에 의한 영향이 되고 세립질 실트에서의 높은 금속 함량은 세립한 중광물에 의한 영향이다. Mn과 Pb을 제 안한 금속들은 퇴적물 중 주로(70% 이상) 결정 격자와 관계하여 존재하는데 이는 퇴적물의 주구성 입도가 조립하여 금속이 풍부하고 세립한 중광 물에 의한 영향이 크기 때문이다. 하 천에서 염하구로 금속 함량이 급격히 감소하는데 이는 용존 $Mn^{+2}$이온이 $MnO_2$로 변화하는 산화반응과 하천구역에서의 퇴적 그리고 염하구에서 금속이 적어 진 입자(염하구 내에서 유기물 분해/용해로 만들어지거나 재부유 작요에 의한 조립질 물질) 와 하천 부유물과의 혼합작용에 의해 이루어진다.
