  • In the present study we examined latitudinal trend of the number of species and species diversity of rocky subtidal shelled gastropods. Specimens were sampled from four wave-exposed sites along the eastern coast of Korea between Sockcho (38$^{\circ}$14"N_ and Busan (35$^{\circ}$06"N), covering a range of over ca. 440 km and 4$^{\circ}$ of latitude. At a small local scale, the number of species showed a latitudinal trend, decreased with decreasing of latitude, even though no clear trends in species diversity were detected. The present result, consequently, suggest that regulation of small-scale local diversity presumably results from the difference of the local micro-environment.

  • Yellow Sea surface sediment samples collected on October 15-31, 2003 were analyzed using the palynological process to investigate the spatial distribution of dinoflagellate resting cysts. The sampling areas comprised four latitudinal transects, the northernmost of which was located off the Shandong Peninsula, China and the southernmost off Jeju Island, Korea. Each transect line was composed of six to nine stations, spanning the distance between the Chinese and Korean coasts. Twenty-five different types of dinoflagellate cysts were identified. Gonyaulax scrippsae, Alexandrium spp. (ellipsoidal type), and G. spinifera were the most dominant at all stations surveyed. Dinoflagellate cysts belonging to the Gonyaulacales comprised over 50% of all cysts collected. The latitudinal distribution trend showed that cyst concentrations along the two middle transects were much higher than those along the two northern and southern transects. Cyst concentrations in the offshore central areas reached their highest values within each transect and gradually decreased toward the Chinese and Korean coasts. Overall, cyst concentrations were markedly elevated in the offshore central Yellow Sea areas and gradually decreased outward in all four directions. This concentric cyst distribution pattern was consistent with the hydrographic features of the Yellow Sea, such as circular current systems, sedimentary properties, and water depth.

  • We investigated leaf disease intensity of Kalopanax septemlobus (prickly castor oil tree) caused by the parasitic fungus Mycosphaerella acanthopanacis, in thirty natural host populations in the Japanese Archipelago. The disease intensity observed for individual trees were analyzed using a generalized additive model as a function of tree size, tree density, climatic terms and spatial trend surface. Individual tree size and conspecific tree density were shown to have significant negative and positive effects on disease intensity, respectively. The findings suggest that the probability of disease infection is partly determined by dispersal of infection agents (ascospores) from the fallen leaves on the ground, which can be enhanced by aggregation of host trees in a forest stand. Regional-scale spatial bias was also present in disease intensity; the populations in northern Japan and southern Kyushu were more severely infected by the fungus than those in southwestern Honshu and Shikoku. Regional variation of disease intensity was explained by both climatic factors and a trend surface term, with a latitudinal cline detected, which increases towards the north. Further research should be conducted in order to understand all of the factors generating the latitudinal cline detected in this study.

  • Macrobenthos were collected at 7 stations located from $5^{\circ}N$ to $10^{\circ}N$ with 1o interval along the longitude of $131^{\circ}W$ using a box corer with sampling area of $0.25\;m^2$ in July, 1999. In order to see the vertical distribution of macrobenthos in sediments, each subcore sample was divided into 5 layers with 1 cm interval up to 6 cm depth. Each subcore sample was sieved through 0.3 mm mesh screen and fixed with 10% Rose Bengal added formalin. A total of 22 faunal groups in 11 phyla were sampled and the average density was $959\;{\pm}\;584\;ind./m^2$. Foraminiferans comprised 34.8% of total specimens were the most abundant fauna, and followed by nematodes (27.5%), polychaete worms (15.7%), and benthic harpactoid copepods (10.4%). A latitudinal trend was shown in the distribution of macrobenthos; the maximum density of $1,832\;ind./m^2$ appeared at station N06 and the most poverished community occurred at station N09 with the density of $248\;ind./m^2$. The density of typical macrofaunal taxa except foraminiferans and nematods was $116\;ind./m^2$. In the vertical distribution of macrobenthos, more than 70% of macrobenthos occurred in the upper 2 cm layer, and upper 4 cm layer contained about 90% of macrofauna. Polychaete worms consisted of 22 families, and cirratulid and paraonid worms were dominant polychaete species. The prominant feeding guilds of polychaete worms were SDT (surface, descretely motile, tenaculate feeding) and SMX (surface, motile, non-jawed); they comprised more than 50% of polychaete abundance. These feeding guilds of polychaete worms suggests that the deep sea benthos should be well adapted the newly settled deposits from water column, but this should be clarified by the further studies.

  • 식생의 변화는 강수, 기온, 유출 등의 수문기상변수들의 변화와 상당히 밀접한 연관성을 가지고 있다. 식생의 변화에 대한 분석은 곧 기후변화의 지역적 영향을 이해하는데 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 지역에 대해서 NOAA/AVHRR 정규식생지수(NDVI)의 시공간변화도를 분석하였다. Mann-Kendall 검정을 이용한 연평균 정규식생지수의 추세분석결과는 대상기간(1982년~2006년)동안 대부분의 유역에서 통계적 유의성을 가진 선형적인 추세변화는 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 금강유역에서 통계적 신뢰수준 90%의 하향추세가 있었다. 또한 EOF 분석을 이용한 주성분분석결과 북쪽지역으로 갈수록 표고가 높을수록 식생의 변화도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지형변화에 상관성이 높은 연평균 정규식생지수의 공간분포와 달리 위경도 변화에 대응하는 분산분포 변화특성에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 계절별로는 6월~9월까지의 정규식생지수가 높게 나타났으며, 이 기간 중에서 7월경에 다소 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 유역별로는 한강유역의 정규식생지수가 가장 높았으며, 제주도가 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

  • The climatology in stratospheric ozone over the Korean Peninsula, presented in previous studies (e.g., Cho et al., 2003; Kim et al., 2005), is updated by using daily and monthly data from satellite and ground-based data through December 2009. In addition, long-term satellite data [Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), 1979~2009] have been also analyzed in order to deduce the spatial distributions and temporal variations of the global total ozone. The global average of total ozone (1979~2009) is 298 DU which shows a minimum of about 244 DU in equatorial latitudes and increases poleward in both hemispheres to a maximum of about 391 DU in Okhotsk region. The recent period, from 2006 to 2009, shows reduction in total ozone by 6% relative to the values for the pre-1980s (1979~1982). The long-term trends were estimated by using a multiple linear regression model (e.g., WMO, 1999; Cho et al., 2003) including explanatory variables for the seasonal variation, Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and solar cycle over three different time intervals: a whole interval from 1979 to 2009, the former interval from 1979 to 1992, and the later interval from 1993 to 2009 with a turnaround point of deep minimum in 1993 is related to the effect of Mt. Pinatubo eruption. The global trend shows -0.93% $decade^{-1}$ for the whole interval, whereas the former and the later interval trends amount to -2.59% $decade^{-1}$ and +0.95% $decade^{-1}$, respectively. Therefore, the long-term total ozone variations indicate that there are positive trends showing a recovery sign of the ozone layer in both North/South hemispheres since around 1993. Annual mean total ozone (1985~2009) is distributed from 298 DU for Jeju ($33.52^{\circ}N$) to 352 DU for Unggi ($42.32^{\circ}N$) in almost zonally symmetric pattern over the Korean Peninsula, with the latitudinal gradient of 6 DU $degree^{-1}$. It is apparent that seasonal variability of total ozone increases from Jeju toward Unggi. The annual mean total ozone for Seoul shows 323 DU, with the maximum of 359 DU in March and the minimum of 291 DU in October. It is found that the day to day variability in total ozone exhibits annual mean of 5.7% in increase and -5.2% in decrease. The variability as large as 38.4% in increase and 30.3% in decrease has been observed, respectively. The long-term trend analysis (e.g., WMO, 1999) of monthly total ozone data (1985~2009) merged by satellite and ground-based measurements over the Korean Peninsula shows increase of 1.27% $decade^{-1}$ to 0.80% $decade^{-1}$ from Jeju to Unggi, respectively, showing systematic decrease of the trend magnitude with latitude. This study also presents a new analysis of ozone density and trends in the vertical distribution of ozone for Seoul with data up to the end of 2009. The mean vertical distributions of ozone show that the maximum value of the ozone density is 16.5 DU $km^{-1}$ in the middle stratospheric layer between 24 km and 28 km. About 90.0% and 71.5% of total ozone are found in the troposphere and in the stratosphere between 15 and 33 km, respectively. The trend analysis reconfirms the previous results of significant positive ozone trend, of up to 5% $decade^{-1}$, in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere (0~24 km), with negative trend, of up to -5% $decade^{-1}$, in the stratosphere (24~38 km). In addition, the Umkehr data show a positive trend of about 3% $decade^{-1}$ in the upper stratosphere (38~48 km).

  • The properties of SOHO/LASCO CMEs are subjected to projection effects. Their dependence on the source position is important to be studied. Our main aim is to study the dependence of CME properties on helio-longitude and latitude using the CMEs associated with type IIs observed by Wind/WAVES spacecraft (Deca-hecta metric type IIs - DH type IIs). These CMEs were identified as a separate population of geo-effective CMEs. We considered the CMEs associated with the Wind/WAVE type IIs observed during the period January 1997 - December 2005. The source locations of these CMEs were identified using their associated GOES X-ray flares and listed online. Using their locations and the cataloged properties of CMEs, we carried out a study on the dependence of CME properties on source location. We studied the above for three groups of CMEs: (i) all CMEs, (ii) halo and non-halo CMEs, and (iii) limb and non-limb CMEs. Major results from this study can be summarized as follows. (i) There is a clear dependence of speed on both the longitude and latitude; while there is an increasing trend with respect to longitude, it is opposite in the case of latitude. Our investigations show that the longitudinal dependence is caused by the projection effect and the latitudinal effect by the solar cycle effect. (ii) In the case of width, the disc centered events are observed with more width than those occurred at higher longitudes, and this result seems to be the same for latitude. (iii) The dependency of speed is confirmed on the angular distance between the sun-center and source location determined using both the longitude and latitude. (iv) There is no dependency found in the case of acceleration. (v) Among all the three groups of CMEs, the speeds of halo CMEs show more dependency on longitude. The speed of non-halo and non-limb CMEs show more dependency on latitude. The above results may be taken into account in correcting the projection effects of geo-effective CMEs.

  • This study examines one thermal index, perceived temperature (PT), over the Korean Peninsula during 2007 summer. Heat/cold stress has been described using air temperature and humidity for warm seasons and air temperature and wind velocity in the cold conditions, while PT is based on a heat budget model of the human body that considers air temperature, humidity, wind velocity and radiation effect regardless of climates, regions and seasons. PT is higher about $4-5^{\circ}C$ than air temperature in the summer. Humidity increases PT, while wind tends to reduces PT possibly by evaporation of water vapor. The geographical distribution of summer PT indicates that the lowest PT happened in the east central region, with the appearance of the highest PT in the inland of southern region in Korea. Although the latitudinal trend shows that PT decreases northward, inland PT is higher than that of coastal region. Compared to the heat index or the discomfort index that considers air temperature and humidity, PT represents distinctive regional characteristics of thermal comfort. The distribution of PT shows that it may be a useful thermal index for the assessment of thermal comfort or stress region in the Korean Peninsula.

  • 시계열 자료의 분석은 분광대에 기초한 분석과는 달리 생태계의 동적특성 연구에 자주 이용되어왔다. 그러나 시계열 자료의 처리가 갖는 문제점과 대륙이나 전세계를 대상으로한 광역자료가 갖는 문제점에 대하여 해결방안을 제시한 연구는 미미하다. 이 연구에서는 광역 시계열 자료 분석의 특징들을 살펴본 후, 지역간 식생성장패턴의 차이와 검정자료 화보의 어려움을 지적하였다 이들 문제에 대한 해결방안으로 위도별 화상분할기법과 불변화소의 이용법을 제시하였다. 사례연구로 아시아지역의 일부를 대상으로 1982년에서 1993년까지의 AVHRR 자료를 이용하여 화상분류를 실시하였다. 불변화소들은 한 시점의 검정자료 정보를 다른 시점으로 확대 적용을 가능케하여, 다른 시점에 대해서도 충분한 양의 검정자료 정보를 확보할 수 있었으며, 위도별 화상분할을 통하여 지역간 식생성장패턴의 차이를 연구에 포함시킬 수 있었다. 퍼지화상분류를 통한 사례연구는 또한 인구밀집 지역에서의 삼림의 감소와 경작지의 증가 추세를 보여주었으며, 인구 희소지역에서의 반대패턴을 보여주었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 운용중인 지중온도 관측소 자료를 이용하여 지중온도의 기후학적 변동 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 지중온도의 변동에 중요한 인자중의 하나인 강수(토양수분)가 지중온도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 습윤 해와 건조 해로 나누어 지중온도의 변동 특성에 대해서 분석하였다. 지중온도의 30년 평균값은 대부분 지역에서 깊이에 관계없이 $14.4\~15.0^{\circ}C$를 보이고 있으며 공간적으로는 남부와 해안지역에서 상대적으로 높에 나타나 기온의 공간분포와 같이 U자 형태의 분포를 보이고 있다. 대기에 비하여 상대적으로 높은 열용량과 낮은 열전도도의 영향으로 깊이별 연 최고와 최저온도가 발생하는 날이 깊이에 따라 지연되어 5.0m 길이에서는 지표에 비하여 약 3개월 정도 늦게 나타나고 있다. 그 결과 1.0m 이하의 심부토양은 여름에는 열 흡수원으로, 겨울에는 열원으로 열원으로 작용하여 전체적으로 기온의 연 변동폭을 조절하는 역할을 한다. 도시열섬과 지구온난화의 영향으로 지중온도도 전체 깊이에서 기온과 같이 지난 30년 동안(1973-200) 약 $0.3\~0.5^{\circ}C/10$년으로 상승하였다. 하지만 계절별 상승경향에서는 기온 (겨울)과 달리 봄철에 최대상승이 일어나고 있다. 또한 토양수분은 지중온도의 일 변동과 계절변동에 영향을 미치는데 지중온도의 변동성에 미치는 영향은 계절과 깊이에 다라 다르게 나타나고 있다. 봄에는 습윤한 해의 지중온도가 건조한 해보다 낮을 뿐만 아니라 변동성도 작게 나타나고 있다. 여름에 천부토양에서는 봄과 유사하게 나타났으나 1.0m 깊이 이하의 심부토양에서는 습윤한 해의 지중온도가 건조한 해보다 높을 뿐만 아니라 변동성도 크다. 하지만 겨울에는 전 지층에서 습윤한 해의 지중온도가 건조한 해보다 온도는 $10%{\circ}C$ 이상 높게 나타나고 있으나 변동성은 작게 나타나고 있다.없었다(P=0.225). 결론: 종양의 크기가 4 cm 이상, 종양 내 낭성 병변의 존재, 불규칙한 종양의 외측 변연, 종양 내부 에코의 불균질성 등이 악성 종양의 가능성을 시사하는 소견으로 조사되었다. 위의 위장관 간질성 종양의 치료 방침을 결정하는데 이러한 지표들을 임상적으로 유용하게 적용할 수 있을 것이다.료비가 낮았으나, 일당 진료비는 CP군은 430,414원, Non-CP군에서 높았음을 알 수 있었다(P<0.05). 13가지 항목의 만족도 조사에서도 CP군이 Non-CP군에 비해 높았다(P<0.05). 결론: 저자들이 개발하여 위암수술 환자에 적용한 CP 프로그램은 재원기간을 줄이고 총 진료비를 감소시킨 반면 일일 진료비의 상승과 환자 및 의료진의 만족도를 높일 수 있었다. 향후 다기관이 참여하는 전향적인 연구를 통해 보다 적절한 표준진료지침을 개발하여 그 효용성을 객관화 시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다. 있을 때 C/C 13($23\%$), C/T & T/T 43($77\%$)이었고, 흡연력이 없을 때 C/C 5($12\%$), C/T & T/T 35 ($88\%$)였다(P=0.189). 환자군 내에서 음주력 유무에 따른 MTHFR유전자형의 분포는 음주력이 있을 때 C/C 12($26\%$), C/T & T/T 33($74\%$)이었고, 음주력이 없을 때 C/C 6($12\%$), CT & T/T 45($88\%$)였다.(P=0.063). 결론: 본 연구에서는 MTHFR C/T & T/T 유전자 다형성이 위암의 발생과 그 위치에 대해 관련이 있는 것으로 여겨지고, 흡연력, 음주력과는 관련이 없는 것으로 여겨진다.험이 커지는 경향을 보였으나, 나이 및 병기, 종양의 크기, MD-BED $Gy_{10}$ 등의 예후 인자를 보정한
