Groundwater ubiquity score(GUS)를 이용하여 제주도 농가에서 많이 사용되고 있는 농약에 대한 지하수 오염가능성을 평가하고 등급화 하였다. 살충제 12종, 제초제 6종, 살균제 3종을 선정하여 제주도 20개 토양통에 대한 흡착특성과 농약의 이화학적 특성을 이용하여 GUS를 구하였다. 제주도 토양에서 조사된 각종 농약의 전반적인 지하수 오염가능성은 제초제 > 살균제 > 살충제 순서이었다. 제초제의 지하수 오염가능성의 크기는 bromacil > metolachlor > alachlor > linuron pretilachlor > butachlor 순서로 나타났다. 살충제의 지하수 오염가능성의 크기는 carbofuran > ethoprophos > diazinone > dimethoate > penthoate > mecarbam > methidathion > endosulfan > fenitrothion > parathion > chlorpyrifos > terbufos 순서로 나타났다. 살균제의 지하수 오염가능성의 크기는 metalaxyl > chlorothalonil > triadimefon 순서로 나타났다. 이들 농약 중에서 특히 지하수 오염가능성이 높은 것으로 분류된 것은 제초제 alachlor, metolachlor, bromacil, 살충제 ethorophos와 carbofuran 그리고 살균제 metalaxyl이었다. 농약에 의한 지하수 오염을 방지하기 위해서는 농약의 절대 사용을 줄일 수 있는 방안을 마련함과 동시에 지하수 오염가능성이 낮고 오염시킨 예가 적은 약제의 선별적 사용이 바람직할 것이다. 그리고 특히 오염가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 평가되고 오염의 예가 많은 약제에 대해서는 적극적인 사용제한 방안을 마련할 필요도 있을 것이다.

산성용액중에서 백금음극을 사용하여 중크롬산이온의 환원을 전위주사법 및 정전위전해에 의하여 검토하였다. 지지전해질로서 황산나트륨(pH 1.5∼4.0)을 사용한 비완충용액중의 중크롬산칼륨의 분극곡선은 3단파가 생기며 첫째파 및 둘째파의 파고는 각각 크롬(Ⅵ)농도 및 수소이온의 활동도에 비례하나 셋째파는 어느 것에도 비례하지 않았다. 첫째 및 둘째 peak이 전류는 전위주사속도(${\nu}$)에 비례하나 셋째 peak는 50mV/sec이하의 늦은 주사속도에서 ${\nu}^{1/2}$에 비례하였다. 정전위전해에 의하면, 크롬(Ⅵ)의 환원은 셋째 peak보다 더 base이고 초기 pH가 약 2.3 이상이 되면 완전히 억제되었다. 그러므로 이 세 peak는 각각 $Cr_2O_7^{\to}Cr^{3+},\;2H^+{\to}H_2$ 및 음극피막의 형성으로 간주하였다.

This study introduced a carbon-free electrode for $Li-O_2$ cells with the aim of suppressing the side reactions activated by carbon material. Micro-particles of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), a conducting polymer, were used as the base material for the air electrode of $Li-O_2$cells. The PEDOT micro-particles were treated with $H_2SO_4$ to improve their electronic conductivity, and LiBr and CsBr were used as the redox mediators to facilitate the dissociation of there action products in the electrode and reduce the over-potential of the $Li-O_2$ cells. The capacity of the electrode employing PEDOT micro-particles was significantly enhanced via $H_2SO_4$ treatment, which is attributed to the increased electronic conductivity. The considerable capacity enhancement and relatively low over-potential of the electrode employing $H_2SO_4$-treated PEDOT micro-particles indicate that the treated PEDOT micro-particles can act as reaction sites and provide storage space for the reaction products. The cyclic performance of the electrode employing $H_2SO_4$-treated PEDOT micro-particles was superior to that of a carbon electrode. The results of the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic analysis showed that the accumulation of residual reaction products during cycling was significantly reduced by introducing the carbon-free electrode based on $H_2SO_4$-treated PEDOT micro-particles, compared with that of the carbon electrode. The cycle life was improved owing to the effect of the redox mediators. The refore, the use of the carbon -free electrode combined with redox mediators could realize excellent cyclic performance and low over-potential simultaneously.

We have investigated the effects of relatively high concentration of carbachol (CCh), an agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR), on cardiac automaticity in mouse heart. Action potentials from automatically beating right atria of mice were measured with conventional microelectrodes. When atria were treated with $100{\mu}M$ CCh, atrial beating was immediately arrested and diastolic membrane potential (DMP) was depolarized. After exposure of the atria to CCh for $\~4 min$, action potentials were regenerated. The regenerated action potentials had lower frequency and shorter duration when compared with the control. When atria were pre-exposed to pirenzepine $(1{\mu}M)$, an $M_1$ mAChR antagonist, there was complete inhibition of CCh-induced depolarization of DMP and regeneration of action potentials. Pre-exposure to AFDX-116 (11 ({2-[(diethylamino)-methyl]-1-piperidyl}acetyl)-5, 11-dihydro-6H-pyridol[2,3-b][1,4] benzodiazepine-6-one base, $1{\mu}M$), an $M_2$ mAChR antagonist, failed to block CCh-induced arrest of the beating. However, prolonged exposure to CCh elicited gradual depolarization of DMP and slight acceleration in beating rate. Our data indicate that high concentration of CCh depolarizes membrane potential and recovers right atrial automaticity via $M_1$ mAChR, providing functional evidence for the role of $M_1$ mAChR in the atrial myocytes.

The honeybee serves for most entomophilous flowers. They are a core species for maintaining the ecological system. Though the urban ecological system needs bees' mediation of pollination as well, we have little understanding on how the honeybee reacts to the physical environments of an urban city. This study is a basic research to enhance the potential environment for pollination in an urban area and aims to review the urban environmental variables which are highly linked to the pollination mediations by the honeybee. The study composed a Maxent model by adopting nine urban environmental variables and the locations of the Apis mellifera's appearances around 52 spots in Seoul. The variables reflect the ecology of the Apis mellifera. Of the urban environmental variables used for the model composition, six variables were found as not having meaningful correlations with the Apis mellifera's appearances and finally, building coverage, actual vegetation and land cover were selected as the appearance variables of the Apis mellifera. The AUC, the reliability indicator of the final model was 0.791 (sd=0.077). And the importance data of the variables used for the model were 55.6%, 27.9%, and 16.5% for building coverage, actual vegetation and land cover, respectively. The result of the study showed that the building coverage has the highest correlation with the appearance of the honeybee. And, as per the actual vegetation, the artificially tree planted area as well as the cultivated field and meadow in an urban area were functioning as the most important environmental conditions for the honeybee to be inhabitable. The study is expected to be utilized as the base material for the urban planning and park green area planning to enhance the potential environment for pollination in an urban area.

A cold spray coating (CSC) of copper was studied for its application to a high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal canister. Several copper coatings of 10 mm thick were fabricated using two kinds of copper powders with different oxygen contents, and SS 304 and nodular cast iron were used as their base metal substrates. The fabricated CSC coppers showed a high tensile strength but were brittle in comparison with conventional non-coating copper, hereinafter defined to as "commercial copper". The corrosion behavior of CSC coppers was evaluated by comparison with commercial coppers, such as extruded and forged coppers. The polarization test results showed that the corrosion potential of the CSC coppers was closely related to its purity; low-purity (i.e., high oxygen content) copper exhibited a lower corrosion potential, and high-purity copper exhibited a relatively high corrosion potential. The corrosion rate converted from the measured corrosion current was not, however, dependent on its purity: CSC copper showed a little higher rate than that of commercial copper. Immersion tests in aqueous HCl solution showed that CSC coppers were more susceptible to corrosion, i.e., they had a higher corrosion rate. However, the difference was not significant between commercial copper and high-purity CSC copper. The decrease of corrosion was observed in a humid air test presumably due to the formation of a protective passive film. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that CSC application of copper could be a useful option for fabricating a copper HLW disposal canister.

The purpose of this study is to develop means to apply GIS and remote sensing technology to the analysis of Korean urban open spaces. To achieve this objective, a framework of analysis of urban open spaces was developed, and then the framework was applied for the evaluation of the potential and suitability of open spaces of Ansan City, which is a new town developed to accomodate industries relocation from Seoul, Korea, mainly due to their pollution problems. The software used in this study are IDRISI, a grid-based GIS, and KMIPS, a remote sensing analysis system. Both packages are based on IBM PC/AT computers with Microsoft DOS. Landsat MSS and TM data were used for the land use classification, land use change detection, and analysis of transformed vegetation indices. The size of the geographic data base is 110 rows and 150 columns with the spatial resolution of 100m$\times$100m. The framework of analysis includes both quanititative and qualitative analysis of open spaces. The quantitative analysis includes size and distribution of open spaces, urban develpment of open spaces, and the degree of vegree of vegetation removal of the study area. The qualitative analysis includes evaluative criteria for primary productivity of land, park use potential, major visual resources, and urban environmental control. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First, the size of builtup areas increased 18.73km$^2$, while the size of forest land decreased 10.86km$^2$ during last ten years. Agricultural lands maintained its size, but shifted toward outside of the city into forest. Second, the potential of open spaces for park use is limited mainly due to their lack of accessibility and connectivity among open spaces, in spite of ample acreage and good site conditions. Third, major landscape elements and historic sites should be connected to the open space system of the city by new accesses and buffers.

This study investigates the distribution stability of binary nanofluids where binary mixtures such as $NH_3/H_2O$ and $H_2O/LiBr$ solution are used as a base fluid. When a little amount of certain nanosized particles is added into a basefluid, the thermal conductivity of that mixture increases greatly. Such mixtures are named 'nanofluids' where nano-particles should be distributed stably and uniformly so the distribution stability of nanoparticles in nanofluids is one of the most important factors for nanofluid application. Therefore, binary nanofluids in which binary mixtures are applied as the basefluids are considered as working fluids. The kind and the concentration of nanoparticles, and the concentration of ammonia are considered as the key parameters. The objectives of this paper are to visualize the dispersed status of particles in binary nanofluids and to find the effect of key parameters on the distribution stability in the ammonia absorption system.

Although a considerable part of climate change can be explained by temperature change, hydrological change such as precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff impact more on society. For the ascertain a hydrological change in agriculture sector, this study estimate evapotranspiration of cropland in the Korean peninsula, and then to assess the drought severity in the past 30 years through the estimated potential evapotranspiration and observed precipitation. The potential evapotranspiration is estimated by EPIC model and Penman-Monteith method and the drought severity in cropland of the Korean peninsula is assessed using Normalized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (NPEI) based on the difference in precipitation and potential evapotranspiration. In North Korea, the estimated evapotranspiration tends to increase even though a significant change is not found due to the change of climate. Although a time series change in drought severity in the past 30 years is not pronounced, a deviation by year and difference between South and North Korea is certain. One reason of this is difference in precipitation and evapotranspiration change according to the latitude. The result including expansion of facilities for water management in North Korea can be used for agricultural decision making, as well as base data of climate change adaptation.
