The purpose of this study is to compare the relative growth of annual ring width of red pine(Pinus densiflora), black pine(Pinus thunbergii) and pitch pine(Pinus rigida) by means of multiple regression method according to Graybill hypothesis. The obtained results are as follows. 1. The changes of rainfall have affected to tree growth during the periods of 1975 through 1978. 2. Among these pine trees, red pine was mostly influenced by environmental factors. 3. The growth of annual ring width was sensitively responded to the changes of rainfall and air temperature. 4. Among the heavy metals analyzed, the concentrations(ppm) of Lead(Pb) and Copper(Cu) were negatively effected on the growth of annual ring width of pine trees. 5. The analytical technique of annual ring width may be useful for estimation of the pollution in forest areas near industrial complexes.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용하여 마이크로채널 내부의 Fischer-Tropsch(FT) 반응을 모사하였고, 나아가 반응채널의 너비와 높이, 냉각채널과의 거리 그리고 채널 사이 간격을 변수로 두고 채널 내부 온도에 대해 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 마이크로채널 반응기는 채널 간의 열교환을 고려하기 위한 5개의 반응채널과 냉각채널을 대신한 냉각면으로 이루어져 있으며 채널의 높이와 너비를 포함한 변수들의 길이는 0.5 mm ~ 5.0 mm 범위에서 설정하였다. 반응물로는 $H_2$와 CO의 혼합기체($H_2/CO$ molar ratio=2)를 사용하였으며 반응기의 운전 조건은 $GHSV=10000h^{-1}$, 압력 20 bar와 온도 483 K($210^{\circ}C$)이다. 민감도 분석의 결과로 반응채널 내부의 최대 온도는 채널의 높이에 비례하며 너비에 대해서는 특정 길이 이상에서 영향을 받지 않는 것을 확인하였으며 이 중에 냉각채널과의 거리와 채널 사이 간격은 채널 내부 온도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 채널 레이아웃에서 반응채널의 높이는 짧을수록(약 2 mm 이하), 너비는 길수록(약 4 mm 이상) 열제거뿐만 아니라 생산량 측면에서 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

Q. mongolica and Q. dentata are representative species of deciduous forest communities in Korea and are known to be relatively resistant to soil drying condition among Korean oaks. This study attempted to elucidate the degree of competition and ecological niche characteristics of the two species by comparing the ecological responses of the two species according to soil moisture. Competition between Q. mongolica and Q. dentata was shown to be more intense under the conditions where moisture content was low than under the conditions where moisture content was high. As for the ecological niche overlaps of the two species for soil moisture, the structural traits of plant such as stem diameter overlapped the most, the traits of biomass such as petiole weight overlapped the least, and photosynthetic organ-related traits such as leaf width and length overlapped intermediately. When looking at the competition for soil moisture between the two species, it can be seen that Q. mongolica won in nine traits (leaf width length, leaf lamina length, leaf lamina weight, leaf petiole weight, leaf area, leaves weight, shoot weight, root weight, and plant weight) and Q. dentata won in the remaining seven traits (leaf petiole length, leaves number, stem length, stem diameter, stem weight, shoot length, and root length). Competition between the two species for the moisture environment of the soil was shown to be intense under the conditions where moisture content was low. The degree of competition between Q. dentata and Q. mongolica for soil moisture is high under the conditions where soil moisture content is low, and it is judged that Q. mongolica is more competitive for soil moisture than Q. dentata.

Tree-ring width analysis has been used to assess the effects of air pollution on tree growth around industrial complexes. Our study was conducted to elucidate the effect of air pollutants on annual ring growth in black pines (Pinus thunbergii) of age 41$\sim$48 years around Ulsan Metropolitan City. The growth data were analyzed by multiple regression and the results are as follows: 1. The annual ring increment of black pines increased with tree age until age 40 years and then decreased gradually after age 40 years. 2. The increment of annual ring width of black pines was affected more by precipitation and evapotranspiration than air temperature. An annual ring decline appeared in the years 1968$\sim$1983, when annual ring indices below zero were observed. Decreased annual ring growth during this period may have been due to air pollution. 3. The heavy metal with the strongest effect on annual ring growth of black pines in the experimental stand was lead (Pb). The concentration of lead in the stand was estimated as over 6 ppm. 4. The technique of tree-ring width analysis may be useful for estimation of the extent of pollution in forest areas near industrial complexes.

Diatoms are unicellular eukaryotic microalgae, and they are highly diversified in aquatic environments. We describe an unrecorded diatom species Fragilaria saxoplanctonica Lange-Bertalot & Ulrich (Bacillariophyceae) collected from Paldang Reservoir, Korea, on 4 April 2022. The valve was needle shaped and narrowly rectangular, its ends were rounded, and no spines were found on the outline of their valves. The valve was 67.2-70.2㎛ in length and 1.4-2.9㎛ in width. The ratio of width-to-length was 1 : 23.2-50.1. The pattern of striation was alternate or opposite, and the number of striae in 10㎛ was 24-26. Molecular comparisons of the 18S rDNA and rbcL sequences showed that it belonged to the genus Fragilaria. These morphological and phylogenetic results confirmed that our species was F. saxoplanctonica, and it was the first record in Korea.

The co-extrusion of multi-layer films has been studied with the focus on its process stability. As in the single-layer film casting process, the productivity of the industrially important multi-layer film casting and the quality of thus produced films have often been hampered by various instabilities occurring in the process including draw resonance, a supercritical Hopfbifurcation instability, frequently encountered when the draw ratio is raised beyond a certain critical value. In this study, this draw resonance instability along with the neck-in of the film width has been investigated for a three-layer film casting using a varying width non-isothermal 1-D model of the system with Phan-Thien and Tanner (PTT) constitutive equation known for its robustness in portraying extensional deformation processes. The effects of various process conditions, e.g., the aspect ratio, the thickness ratio of the individual film layers, and cooling of the process, on the stability have been examined through the nonlinear stability analysis.

The main goal of this study is to develop a multi-metric fishway assessment model (M_m-FA) and evaluate the efficiency of fishway. The M_m-FA model has three major fishway components with nine metrics: structural characteristics, hydraulic/hydrologic features, and biological attributes. The model was developed for diagnosing and assessing fishway efficiency and tested to Juksan Weir at the Yeongsan River Watershed. Structural characteristics of fishway included slope of the fishway (M₁), ratios of fishway width to stream width (M₂), and the proportion of orifice clogging and orifice size (M₃). Hydraulic/hydrologic characteristics included depth of fishway entrance head (M₄), depth of exit tail (M₅), and current velocity of inner fishway (M₆). Biological characteristics included fish species ratio of inner fishway to upper-lower weir (M₇), fish length distribution (M₈), and the proportion of migratory fish species to the total number of species (M₉). Overall, the assessment of fishway efficiency showed the total score of the M_m-FA model was 25 in the Juksan Weir, indicating "good condition" by the criteria of the five-level classification system. The M_m-FA model may be used as a key tool for the assessment of fishway efficiency, especially on the 16 weirs constructed for the "Four Rivers Restoration Project" after a partial calibration of M_m-FA model.

본 연구에서는 유체유동해석프로그램인 Fluent를 이용하여 연료극 지지채식 관형 고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC)에서의 연결재 구조에 따른 성능 변화를 고찰하였다. 실험적 사실과 부합되는 이론적 결과를 확보하기 위해서는 전기적으로 전극과 하나로 되어있는 연결재의 구조가 전지 성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살피는 것이 중요하다. 두께가 작은 연결재가 단전지 성능을 우수하게 하는 것으로 보아 옴(ohmic) 저항에 직결되는 연결재의 두께가 전지 성능에 있어 주요 변수임을 확인하였다. 일정 두께로 고정된 조건 하에 연결재 폭을 변화시킨 경우, 전지 성능은 상대적으로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이는 본 연구에서 고려한 SOFC의 관형 구조 특성상 연결재의 폭으로는 원주 방향으로 흘러가는 전류 경로를 효과적으로 단축시킬 수 없기 때문으로 사료된다.

It is generally known that electron beam has sterilization effects and can activate plant germination and growth. Compared to electron beam, electrical pulse has not been frequently studied with respect to the biological application. In this study, we have analyzed the effects of high voltage pulse on seed germination and growth using various plant species. We have used the high voltage generator for examining seed's responses to the high voltage pulse. The operating voltage and currents of the generator are about 300 kV and 30 kA, respectively. Pulse width is 60 ns. High voltage pulse has slightly activated germination and growth of radish during early stage. Various levels of germination and growth are observed in different plant species after treated with high voltage pulse.

In this paper, the discriminant analysis was performed on parameter for detection of cardiac arrythmia. The parameters used for discriminant analysis was two group. One group consist of 05 width and Heart rate, and the other Morphology and Heart Rate. For this study, we designed data acquisition system for EKG signals. The parameters pre-processed by this system was heart rate, 05 width and Morphology. And then, we analyzed the discriminancy of two group and extracted the quantity of discriminancy. The analysis results showed first that the group with morphology and heart rate is better discriminant than with 05 width and heart rate : next, that it can quantify the discriminany of each group of diseases.
