Methods used to study carbon sequestration by soil aggregates have often excluded the concentric spatial variability and other dynamic processes that contribute to resource accessibility and solute transport within aggregates. We investigated the spatial gradients of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from the exterior to interior layers within macroaggregates, $6.3\sim9.5$ mm, sampled from conventional tillage (CT) and no tillage (NT) sites of a Hoytville silt clay loam. Spatial gradients in C accumulation within macroaggregates were related to the differences in C dynamics by determining the sizes and the turnover rates of fast C and slow C pools in the concentric layers of aggregates. Aggregate exteriors contained more labile C and were characterized by greater C mineralization rates than their interiors in both management systems. In contrast, C in the interior layers of aggregates was more resistant in both systems. These results indicated the spatial differentiation of C dynamics within macroaggregates, i.e., exterior layers as a reactive site and interior layers as a protective site. Greater total C distribution in the exterior layers of NT aggregates indicated more influx of C from the macropores in interaggregate space than C. mineralization (net gain of C), whereas lower C distribution within the exterior layers of CT aggregates indicated net loss of C by greater C mineralization than C influx. We found total C increased approximately 1.6-fold by the conversion of CT soils to NT management systems for a period of 36 years. Differences in total accumulation and the spatial distribution of C within aggregates affected by management were attributed to the differences in aggregate stability and pore networks controlling the spatial heterogeneities of resource availability and microbial activity within aggregates.

본 연구는 환경생태학적 하천관리의 기초가 되는 것으로서, 어류분포 특성을 파악할 수 있는 하천서식처 분류에 영상정보를 활용하기 위한 기법을 개발하고 이에 대한 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 먼저 서식처별 특성자료를 파악하기 위해 지형측량, 유량 및 수온관측 등을 실시하였으며 현지관측 시점에 해당하는 하천의 영상을 얻기 위해 무인항공촬영을 실시하였다. 어류 분포특성을 파악하기 위한 서식처로는 크게 riffle, pool, glide를 선정하였으며, riffle 영역은 빠른 물의흐름으로 인해 RGB의 표준편차가 pool과 glide에 비해 크게 나타났다. 이러한 RGB의 표준편차 특성을 이용하여 riffle 영역의 해상도와 kernel 크기별 분류 정확도를 평가한 결과, 해상도가 30cm이고 kernel 크기가 11일때의 분류 정확도가 77.17%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 pool과 glide 영역에 대한 수온을 관측한 결과 각각 $19.6{\sim}21.3^{\circ}C$와 $15.5{\sim}16.5^{\circ}C$로서 약 $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$의 차이를 보였으며, 이러한 적외선 사진정보를 통해 pool과 glide 영역에 대한 분류가 가능하게 되었다. 향후 RGB와 적외선 밴드를 탑재한 무인항공촬영시스템이 활용될 경우 어류 분포 파악을 위한 서식처 분류가 보다 효과적으로 수행될 것으로 판단된다.

KAERI has developed a KALIMER-600 which is a pool-type sodium-cooled fast reactor with a 600MWe electric generation capacity. For a SFR development, one of the main topics is an enhancement of the reactor system safety. Therefore, we have a long-term plan to design the large sodium experimental facility to evaluate the reactor safety and component performance. In order to extrapolate a thermal hydraulic phenomena in a large sodium reactor, the thermal hydraulics phenomena is under investigation in a 1/$10^{th}$ water-simulant facility for the KALIMER-600. In this paper, we shortly described the experimental facility setup and the measurement of the isothermal global flow behavior. For the flow field measurement, the PIV method was used in a transparent Plexiglas reactor vessel model at around $20^{\circ}C$ water condition.

This study was designed to measure the effect of regrowth age of Digitaria decumbens (D. decumbens) on the intake and dynamics of digesta in the rumen of rams. Six Black-belly rams (mean liveweight: 51.6 (s.d. 0.68) kg) fitted with rumen cannulae were fed twice daily a 14-, 28-, 42- and 56-day old fresh D. decumbens successively for 4 experimental periods. The daily dry matter intake decreased curvilineary from 75.2 to 48.5 (s.e. 2.0) g/kg $BW^{0.75}$ as the age of the D. decumbens grass increased from 14 to 56 days. Dry matter intake for the first 3 h after the morning meal was 863.6, 598.3, 576.4 and 401.5 (s.e. 55.6) g for the 14-, 28-, 42- and 56-day old grasses respectively. The pool of NDF in the rumen at the end of the 3-h feeding period did not vary significantly among the four diets. Twelve hours after the beginning of the morning meal, the pool of NDF increased with the forage regrowth age. Within the total pool of NDF, the pool of large particles tended to increase with the regrowth age. It was concluded that high intake was associated with fast evacuation of NDF from the rumen. Moreover, digestion (cellulolysis) rate and degree of particle reduction by rumination are highly correlated, though speed of physical degradation of forage seems to be the driving force behind intake.

2007년 4월부터 2008년 10월까지 갑천의 자연형 구간 가운데 7개 지점을 선정하여 각 서식처별 어류군집의 생태적 특성을 연구하였다. 조사지점은 폐쇄형 웅덩이(Closed pool), 평여울(Runs), 급여울(Riffles), 내만형 웅덩이(Opened pool), 소(Pool), 징검여울(Rock-scattered riffles), 댐형 웅덩이(D-type pool)등으로 구분하였다. 채집된 어류는 총 8과 29종이 출현하였으며, 서식처를 대표하는 표징종은 붕어 (Corassius ouratus, St. 1), 쉬리 (Coreoleuciscus splendidus, St. 3), 납자루(Acheilognathus lanceolatus, St. 4), 피라미 (Zacco platypus St. 2, 5, 6, 7) 정도로 구분하였다. 붕어(C. auratus)는 폐쇄형 웅덩이(St. 1)와 같이 하상구조가 대부분 모래로 구성되고 수심은 65$\sim$90 cm 정도로 다소 깊으며 유속이 거의 정체된 수역을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 쉬리 (C. splendidus)는 급여울(St. 3)과 같이 수심이 8$\sim$38cm정도, 유속 $0.14\sim0.85\;m\;sec^{-1}$ 정도, 그리고 하상구조는 작은돌과 조약돌이 산재된 곳에 주로 서식하며 유속이 빠르기 때문에 BOD, COD, TN, TP, SS의 농도는 낮으며 DO는 높게 나타나는 곳을 선호하였다. 납자루(A. lanceolatus)는 개방형 웅덩이 (St. 4)와 같이 수심이 3$\sim$44cm정도,유속은 $0.01\sim0.02\;m\;sec^{-1}$로 낮은 수심과 느린 유속을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 피라미 (Z. platypus)는 평 여울(St. 2), 소(St. 5), 징검 여울(St. 6)댐형 웅덩이(St. 7)등 여러 서식처에서 우점하였는데 주로 유량이 풍부하고 하상구조가 다양한 지점을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 징검여울(St. 6)에서 미호종개(Iksookimia choii)가 4개체 출현하였는데 본 연구에서 출현한 미호종개(I. choii)의 서식지는 하폭 24 m 정도, 수심 이 3$\sim$35 cm 정도, 유속은 $0.01\sim0.49\;m\;sec^{-1}$ 정도를 나타내며 하상구조는 큰돌부터 모래까지 다양한 구조를 이루고 있었다. 또한 수질측정 결과 수온, EC, BOD, COD, TN, TP의 농도가 비교적 낮게 나타났고 DO, SS의 농도가 비교적 높은 범위를 나타내어 이와 비슷한 물리, 화학적인 서식 환경이 조성되어야만 미호종개(I. choii)가 서식할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the structural design and integrity evaluations for a reactor vessel of PGSFR sodium-cooled fast reactor(150MWe) are carried out in compliance with ASME BPV III, Division 5 Subsection HB. The reactor vessel is designed with a direct contact of primary sodium coolant to its inner surface and has a double vessel concept enclosing by containment vessel. To assure the structural integrity for 60 years design lifetime and elevated operating temperature of $545^{\circ}C$, which can invoke creep and creep-fatigue damage, the structural integrity evaluations are carried out in compliance with the ASME code rules. The design loads considered in this evaluations are primary loads and operation thermal cycling loads of normal heat-up and cool-down. From the evaluations, the PGSFR reactor vessel satisfies the ASME code limits but it was found that there is a little design margin of creep damage for inner surface at the region of cold pool free surface.
