The purpose of this study is to procure basic data to be used for solar power plant and concentrating collector designs. Site elevation is one of the major factors which influences the incoming insolation to the earth surface. Because the nonpermanent gases such as ozone, water vapor are unmixed components of the atmosphere and their concentrations are the function of height, the site elevation effects the relative proportion of the atmospheric constituents. We have measured solar radiation on Jiri Mt. (1,400m) and in Gurye area(115m) at the near same latitude. These values were then compared to obtain their characteristics and to investigate the potential for the solar utilization for both high and low elevated areas. From the experimental results, we concluded that 1) Daily mean horizontal global radiation and normal beam radiation on Mt. Jiri are 9.5%, and 35.3% higher than Gurye area respectively for a clear day. 2) A significant difference in atmospheric clearness index is observed between Mt. Jiri and Gurye areas.

This paper reports the following two topics : $\circled1$ ozone concentration (O$\sub$3con/) and discharge characteristics in flowing O$\sub$2/ with variation of Re$\sub$3/ at high voltage nozzle (HVN) of HVN 10 type ozonizer. $\circled2$ O$\sub$3con/ with variation of Re$\sub$3/ at HVN of HVN 25 type ozonizer. The important conclusions obtained from this paper are as follows. 1) In HVN 10 type ozonizer : $\circled1$ The discharge pattern can be controlled by adjustment of the Re$\sub$3/. $\circled2$ V$\sub$c/ is inversely proportional to pulse width (P$\sub$w/) and pulse frequency (P$\sub$f) $\circled3$ O$\sub$3con/ increase as decreasing of Re$\sub$3/ for constant P$\sub$w/ and P$\sub$f/. $\circled4$ O$\sub$3con/ increase as decreasing of P$\sub$w/, O$\sub$3con/ is proportional to P$\sub$f/. 2) In HVN 25 type ozonizer : O$\sub$3con/ of HVN 25 type ozonizer can increase than that of HVN 10 type ozonizer, according to parallel circuit of applied voltage and serial of supplied gas. As a result, we can obtain O$\sub$3con/ of 825[ppm] as the maximun value.

To understand the role of small heat shock protein (sHSPs) in rice plant response to various stresses such as the heat and oxidative stresses, a cDNA encoding a 24.1 kDa mitochondrial small HSP (Oshsp24.1) was isolated from rice by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The deduced amino acid sequence shows very high similarity with other plant small HSPs. DNA gel blot analysis suggests that the rice genome contains more than one copy of Oshsp24.1. High level of expression of Oshsp24.1 transcript was observed in rice seedlings in response to heat, methyl viologen, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, salt and heavy metal stresses. Recombinant OsHSP24.1 protein was produced in E. coli cells for biochemical assay. The protein formed oligomeric complex when incubated with Sulfo-EGS (ethylene glycol bis (succinimidyl succinate)). Our results shows that Oshsp24.1 has an important role in abiotic stress response and have potential for developing stress-tolerant plants.

본 연구에서 2006년 3월부터 2008년 11월까지 측정한 총 가스상 수은(TGM)과 가스상 산화수은(RGM)의 농도는 각각 2.10 ${\pm}$ 1.50 ng/$m^3$, 3.00 ${\pm}$ 3.14 pg/$m^3$으로 나타났다. RGM 농도는 밤보다 낮 시간에 월등히 높은 농도를 보였으며 이는 낮에 고농도로 존재하는 오존 등 산화제에 의한 광화학 반응으로 인하여 가스상 산화수은이 생성되는 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 한편 안개 발생 횟수가 많은 춘천에서는 가스상 산화수은 농도와 오존농도가 특히 안개일에 유의미한 상관관계를 보였다. 이는 액적 상태일 때, 금속수은($Hg^0$)의 산화반응에서 오존이 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 총 가스상 수은은 대표적인 장거리 이동 오염물질인 CO 및 $PM_{10}$과는 상관관계를 보이는 반면, 국지 오염물질인 $NO_2$와는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 수은의 주요 발생원이 산업시설에서의 화석연료의 연소라는 것을 고려할 때, 산업시설이 부재한 춘천에서는 총 가스상 수은의 농도가 지역 오염원에 의해서는 크게 영향을 받지 않는다는 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 총 가스상 수은의 고농도와 저농도를 대표하는 시료의 역궤적을 계산한 결과, 춘천의 총 가스상 수은 농도에 영향을 주는 지역은 선양, 베이징을 포함한 중국의 산업지역이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Climate change is believed to increase the amount of dissolved organic matter in surface water, as a result of the release of bulk organic matter, which make difficult to achieve a high quality of drinking water via conventional water treatment techniques. Therefore, the natural water treatment techniques, such as managed aquifer recharge (MAR), can be proposed as a alternative method to improve water quality greatly. Removal of bulk organic matter using managed aquifer recharge system is mainly achieved by biodegradation. Biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) and assimilable organic carbon (AOC) can be used as water quality indicators for biological stability of drinking water. In this study, we compared the change of BDOC and AOC with respect to pretreatment methods (i.e., ozone or peroxone). The oxidative pretreatment can transform the recalcitrant organic matter into readily biodegradable one (i.e., BDOC and AOC). We also investigated the differences of organic matter characteristics between BDOC and AOC. We observed the decreases in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and the tryptophan-like fluorescence intensities. Liquid chromatographic - organic carbon detection (LC-OCD) analysis also showed the reduction of the low molecular weight (LMW) fraction (15% removed, less than 500 Da), which is known to be easily biodegradable, and the biopolymers, high molecular weight fractions (66%). Therefore, BDOC consists of a broad range of organic matter characteristics with respect to molecular weight. In AOC, low molecular weight organic matter and biopolymers fraction was reduced by 11 and 6%, respectively. It confirmed that biodegradation by microorganisms as the main removal mechanism in AOC, while BDOC has biodegradation by microorganism as well as the sorption effects from the sand. $O_3$ and $O_3+H_2O_2$ were compared with respect to biological stability and dissolved organic matter characteristics. BDOC and AOC were determined to be about 1.9 times for $O_3$ and about 1.4 times for $O_3+H_2O_2$. It was confirmed that $O_3$ enhanced the biodegradability by increasing LMW dissolved organic matter.

고전압 방전극이 기체상에 위치하고 접지 전극이 수중에 설치된 기체-액체 혼합 방전에 의한 화학적 활성종의 발생 특성에 관해 실험실 규모 실험을 수행하였다. 실험된 전극 구조는 기존의 연구에서 사용해왔던 일반적 전극 배열에서보다 높은 전계 강도(electric field strength)를 형성하고 짧은 폭을 지닌 펄스들을 생성시킴으로써 방전에 의해서 일어나는 화학반응의 에너지 효율성을 높일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 방전에 의해 기체상에 생성되는 오존 농도는 실험된 전압 범위의 중간 값인 45 kV 조건에서 가장 높은 것으로 관찰되었다. 용액 전도도가 낮을수록 액체상을 통한 전기 저항이 증가하여 기체상에서 높은 전계 강도가 형성되므로 오존 생성을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 인가전압이 증가할수록 높은 전계 강도가 형성되어 강한 방전이 이루어지므로 과산화수소 생성속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 낮은 전압에서는 용액 전도도가 증가하면 과산화수소 분해속도가 증가하기 때문에 과산화수소 생성 속도가 감소하며 높은 전압에서는 용액 전도도가 증가하면 자외선 조사 등에 의해 과산화수소 발생의 중간 생성물인 OH 라디칼의 발생이 촉진되므로 과산화수소 생성 속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 산소와 아르곤의 혼합기체가 공급될 때, 강하고 안정한 방전이 이루어져 과산화수소 생성속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 응집공정과 오존처리공정으로 생물학적 난분해성 물질을 함유한 매립장 침출수를 처리하고, 전 오존처리와 후 오존처리에 의한 수처리 효율을 비교 분석하기 위하여 실시하였으며, 결과를 아래와 같이 요약하였다. 1) $COD_{Cr}$을 제거하기 위하여 침출수의 pH를 4,7,11로 조절하고, 오존주입량을 $75mgO_3/min$ ($4.5gO_3/hr$)으로 90분간 오존처리한 결과 각 pH별 제거효율은 각각 48.2%, 52.6%, 62.3%로 나타났다. pH를 증가시킴으로써 $COD_{Cr}$의 제거효율이 증가하였는데, 이는 높은 pH에서 오존의 가기 분해속도가 빨라져 비선택적으로 수중 유기물과 반응하고, 오존보다 산화력이 강한 hydroxyl radical($OH{\cdot}$)의 생성이 촉진되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 2) 주 응집제로 사용되는 무기응집제는 폐수처리에 많이 이용되고 있는 alum, ferric chloride 및 ferrous sulfate를 이용하였으며, 그 결과 pH5와 응집제 주입량 $2,000m{\ell}/{\ell}$에서 Ferric chloride가 12.0%의 $COD_{Cr}$ 제거효율로 가장 우수한 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 응집보조제로 사용한 유기 응집제는 cation(C-101P), anion(A-601P) 및 nonion(SC-050)을 이용한 결과 cation(C-101P)이 pH5와 주입량 $100m{\ell}/{\ell}$에서 19.8%의 $COD_{Cr}$제거효율로 가장 효율적인 응집보조제로 조사되었다. 3) 오존주입량을 $75mgO_3/min$ ($4.5gO_3/hr$)으로 90분간 오존처리한 결과 색도와 탁도는 각각 88.6%와 97%가 제거되었으며, $COD_{Cr}$ 및 $COD_{Mn}$보다 훨씬 높은 제거효율을 보인 것은 오존이 색도 및 탁도 유발물질을 선택적으로, 그리고 우선적으로 산화시킨 것으로 판단된다. 4) $COD_{Cr}$ 색도 및 탁도는 후 오존처리보다 전 오존처리에 의하여 8.0%, 3.5%, 그리고 1% 각각 제거 효율이 증가하였는데, 이는 응집전 오존처리가 응집효율을 증가시킨다는 여러 연구결과와 일치하는 것으로 조사되었다.

Objectives: Air pollution is a growing concern in Korea because of transboundary air pollution from mainland China. A panel study was conducted to clarify the effects of air pollution on respiratory symptoms and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in outpatients with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Korea. Methods: Patients filled out a questionnaire including self-reported HR-QoL in February and were followed up in May and July. The study was conducted from 2013 to 2015, with different participants each year. Air quality parameters were applied in a generalized estimating equation as independent variables to predict factors affecting HR-QoL. Results: Lower physical fitness scores were associated with Asian sand dust events. Daily activity scores were worse when there were high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) less than $10{\mu}m$ in diameter ($PM_{10}$). Lower social functioning scores were associated with high PM less than $2.5{\mu}m$ in diameter and nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) concentrations. High $NO_2$ concentrations also showed a significant association with mental health scores. Weather-related cough was prevalent when $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, or ozone ($O_3$) concentrations were high, regardless of COPD severity. High $PM_{10}$ concentrations were associated with worsened wheezing, particularly in COPD patients. Conclusions: The results suggest that PM, $NO_2$, and $O_3$ cause respiratory symptoms leading to HR-QoL deterioration. While some adverse effects of air pollution appeared to occur regardless of COPD, others occurred more often and more intensely in COPD patients. The public sector, therefore, needs to consider tailoring air pollution countermeasures to people with different conditions to minimize adverse health effects.

The concerns on the crop damage by ultraviolet (UV) radiations is increasing owing to the decrease of their absorbing stratospheric ozone in the tropospheric. Cultivar differences on early growth of UV radiation among five Korean rice cultivars, four japonica types and one Tongil type (indica-japonica cross hybrid), were studied. Pot-seeded rice plants were grown under four different radiation conditions, i.e., visible radiation only, visible radiation with supplemented with high or low dose of UV-B (280~320 nm in wavelength) and UV-C (less than 280 nm in wavelength). The inhibitory degree on plant height, shoot and root weight and length of leaf blade and leaf sheath were determined at 40 days after seeding. UV-C showed the most severe inhibitory effect on the degree of biomass gain and leaf growth in most cultivars examined, followed by high UV-B and low UV-B. Among the cultivars used, the Kuemobyeo was the most sensitive cultivar and had not repair or showed resistance ability to continued irradiation of UV radiation. However, Janganbyeo and Jaekeon showed different responses that the elongation of leaf blades was promoted on 2nd and 3rd leaves and inhibited on 4th and 5th leaves but this inhibitory degree was reduced on 6 th and 7th leaves. Such tendency on leaf growth means that both cultivars had low sensitivity and most resistant ability to continued irradiation of UV radiation. While Tongil showed different response to enhanced UV radiation, ie., low UV-B promoted leaf growth but the inhibitory was severely increased by continued irradiation of high UV-B and UV-C, which means that Tongil had high threshold of UV radiation for response as an inhibitory light of plant growth. The results of this study indicate that the differences on sensitivity or resistant to the effects of UV radiation were existed among Korean rice cultivars.

UV-B 강도 변화가 식물의 생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 오이를 이용하여 3주간 3단계의 UV-B[일일 평균 UV-$B^{BE}$; 무처리(0.03), 저UV-B(6.40), 고UV-B(11.32) kJ $m^{-2}$]조사 실험을 수행하였다. 3주간의 UV-B 조사에 의해 건물중 및 엽면적은 고UV-B 처리와 저UV-B 처리에서 각각 60%와 40% 정도의 감소를 보였으나, 엽중비는 증가하였다. UV-B에 의해 고UV-B 처리에서 약 45%, 저UV-B 처리에서 약 37%의 광합성속도의 감소를 나타내었으나 증산속도의 변환느 나타나지 않았다. 총 엽록소 함량은 UV-B 강도의 증가에 따라 감소하였으며, UV-흡수물질인 flavonoid의 함량은 고UV-B 처리에서 약 19% 저UV-B처리에서 약 14%의 증가를 보였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 UV-B조사는 오이 식물에 극심한 생육 저해를 나타내었으며, 그 피해는 UV-B 강도에 따라 증가하였다. 따라서 현재 지구에 도달하는 태양UV-B에 의해서도 오이식물은 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 사료되며, 장래 예상되는 오존층 감소에 의해서도 생육장해를 나타낼 것으로 사료된다.
