In 2014, on 31 August and 1 September, the emissions of $CH_4$, $CO_2$, and $O_2$ gases were measured six times using the closed chamber method from exposed tidal flat sediments in the same position relative to the low point of the tidal cycle in the Eoeun-ri, Taean-gun, on the Mid-western Coast of Korea. The concentrations of $CH_4$ in the air sample collected in the chamber were measured using gas chromatography with an EG analyzer, model GS-23, within 6 hours of collection, and the other gases were measured in real time using a multi-gas monitor. The gas emission fluxes (source (+), and sink (-)) were calculated from a simple linear regression analysis of the changes in the concentrations over time. In order to see the surrounding parameters (water content, temperature, total organic carbon, average mean size of sediments, and the temperature of the inner chamber) were measured at the study site. On the first day, across three measurements during 5 hours 20 minutes, the observed $CO_2$ flux absorption was -137.00 to $-81.73mg/m^2/hr$, and the $O_2$ absorption, measured simultaneously, was -0.03 to $0.00mg/m^2/hr$. On the second day using an identical number of measurements, the $CO_2$ absorption was -20.43 to $-2.11mg/m^2/hr$, and the $O_2$ absorption -0.18 to $-0.14mg/m^2/hr$. The $CH_4$ absorption before low tide was $-0.02mg/m^2/hr$ (first day, Pearson correlation coefficient using the SPSS statistical analysis is -0.555(n=5, p=0.332, pronounced negative linear relationship)), and $-0.15mg/m^2/hr$ (second day, -0.915(n=5, p=0.030, strong negative linear relationship)) on both measurement days. The emitted flux after low tide on both measurement days reached a minimum of $+0.00mg/m^2/hr$ (+0.713(n=5, p=0.176, linear relationship which can be almost ignored)), and a maximum of $+0.03mg/m^2/hr$ (+0.194(n=5, p=0.754, weak positive linear relationship)) after low tide. However, the absolute values of the $CH_4$ fluxes were analyzed at different times. These results suggest that rate for $CH_4$ fluxes, even the same time and area, were influenced by changes in the tidal cycle characteristics of surface sediments for understanding their correlation with these gas emissions, and surrounding parameters such as physiochemical sediments conditions.

본 연구의 목적은 부산 동남부 해안지역의 대수층에서 염수화에 미치는 조건들을 파악하고 해수침투 범위를 추정하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 Tidal damping method와 SUTRA 모델링을 실시하고 대수층의 특성 및 염수화가능성을 파악하였으며, 모델링 결과의 타당성을 판단하기 위하여 전기비저항 탐사를 실시하였다. Tidal damping method에 의한 시간지연과 조석효율효과를 계산하여 대수층의 저류계수를 산출한 결과 시간지연 현상에 의한 방법이 적합하게 나타났다. SUTRA 모델링 결과, 건기인 5월에는 종분산 지수가 2.5m 일 때 500ppm의 TDS 등치선을 기준으로 해안에서 약 510m 내륙까지 해수의 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우기인 7월에는 강수로부터 다량의 지하수 함양에 의한 지하수위 상승을 고려하여, 평균수리경사를 0.008로 설정한 조건에서는 500ppm의 TDS 등치선을 기준으로 해안에서 약 410m 내륙까지 해수의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타난다. 5월과 7월의 전기비저항 탐사결과를 비교하면 7월의 전기비저항 분포가 전반적으로 높게 나타났다. 그 이유는 6, 7월의 강수에 의한 지하수의 유입이 증가하여 침투된 염수의 농도가 다소 낮아졌기 때문이다.

To evaluate fetal sex-hormonal status before delivery, testosterone and follicle stimulating normone(FSH) levels were measured in 64 amniotic fluid samples at midgestation by radioimmunoassay method. The mean concentration of testosterone in amniotic fluid of 37 cases carrying male fetus was 90.7 pg/ml and 27 cases carrying female fetus was 62.3 pg/ml. The mean :amniotic fluid FSH concentration of male fetus was 1.15 mIU/ml and of female fetus was 11.98 mIU/ml. The amniotic fluid testoserone and FSH concentrations had statistical difference between male and female fetuses. The ratio of testosterone over FSH in the amniotic fluid was 231.2 in male, 9.8 in female respectively and very significant difference was noticed. The levels of testosterone/FSH greater than 25 were found over 92% of male fetus and lesser than 25 were found over 92% female fetus. Measurement of testosterone and FSH especially testosterone/FSH ratio in amniotic fluid in midgestation may be an adjunct to other method of fetal sex determination.

The southern tidal flat of Kanghwa Island is one of the biggest flats on the west coast of Korea. Tide is typically a semidiurnal with maximum range of about 10m. The tidal flat receives large amount of sediments from Han River system. Surface sediments for sedimentary analyses were sampled at 83 stations in the study area in August 2003. The surface sediments consisted of five sedimentary facies. Generally, sandy mud sediments dominated in the southern tidal flat of Kanghwa Island, whereas sand sediments dominated in channel and subtidal zones of the western part of Kanghwa Island. The area of sandy mud sediment extended to eastward tidal flat compared to sedimentary facies in August 1997. Sedimentary facies analysis of three core sediments from the tidal flat to the south of the Kangwha Island revealed three sedimentary facies: trough-cross-bedded sand, laminated silt, and bioturbated silt. Distribution of the facies in the cores suggested that sedimentation rates has been generally high in the margin of main tidal channel, especially in the east of the Donggeum Island. Twelve-and-half-hour anchoring survey was carried out for measurements of hydrodynamic parameters at Yeomha channel near Choji Bridge(K1) and channel near Donggeum Island(K2) in June 2003. Residual flows indicated strong ebb-dominated tidal currents. Depth-integrated net suspended sediment loads for one tidal cycle were seaward movement with 309,217.9kg/m and 128,123.1kg/m at station K1 and K2, respectively. The higher value of net suspended sediment loads at station K1 suggested that lots of suspended sediments from Han River deposited in the eastern part of tidal flat.

하구둑은 해수의 역류에 의한 염수침입을 방지하고 유역에 필요한 담수를 확보하기위하여 건설되며, 하구둑에 의하여 하천의 하구에 담수호가 생성된다. 하구담수호에 의해 기존에 염해로 취수할 수 없었던 하천구간에서의 취수가 가능하게 되며, 하구담수호를 일정한 수위로 관리함으로써 상당량의 농업용수를 확보할 수 있다. 이와 관련하여 하구담수호에 의하여 확보되는 수자원량에 대해 설계 당시의 분석 자료들이 있기는 하지만, 대부분 연 총량의 형태로 나타나 있으며, 수리권과 관련하여 하구둑에 의하여 추가적으로 확보되는 수리권 가용수량이 얼마인지에 대한 분석은 거의 없다. 그것은 하구둑의 방류량이 댐의 방류량과는 달라서 조석의 영향을 매우 크게 받기 때문에 단순한 물수지 분석으로 이를 모의하기 힘들기 때문이다. 게다가 1일 2회의 조석이 발생하므로 1일단위의 물수지 분석은 어려운 현실이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 하구둑에서 많은 양의 농업용수 취수가 이루어지고 있다. 과연 얼마정도의 양이 수리권으로서의 역할을 할 수 있는지 모르고 임의적인 허가가 계속 부여될 경우, 갈수 시 용수공급의 안정성을 확보할 수 없게 될 것이다. 따라서 안정적인 용수의 공급을 위한 적절한 수리권 가용수량에 대한 추정 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영산강하구둑의 실시간 운영을 위하여 고 등(2004)이 개발한 "영산강하구 둑 물관리 프로그램"의 기본적인 조위의 예측과 배수갑문의 방류량 산정기법 등과 수자원장기종 합계획(2006) 수립 시에 사용된 장기간의 일자연유량을 이용하여 하구둑의 수리권 가용수량 추정 모형을 개발하고, 이를 영산강 하구둑에 의해 생성된 영산호에 적용함으로써 영산호에 의해 증가되는 수리권 가용수량에 대해 고찰하여 보았다., 그리고 T-P $77.7{\sim}96.6%$(평균 94.3%)로 산정되었다. 이러한 결과는 대청호로 유입하는 유기물과 영양염류 연간 부하량의 80% 이상이 강우-유출과 함께 유입하는 것을 의미하며, 저수지 수질관리를 위해서는 유역차원의 비점오염원 관리가 시급함을 시사한다.하기 위해, 수렴흐름 추적자시험에 의한 종분산지수와 시험대수층의 평균선형유속을 이용하여 종분산계수를 구하였다. 현장에서 수행된 양수시험에 의한 평균선형유속 22.44 m/day와 평균 종분산지수 0.4155 m를 적용하여 산정된 종분산계수는 $9.32\;m^2/day$이었다. 따라서, 시험부지 내 충적층에서 일정한 양수율$(2,500\;m^3/day)$로 지하수를 개발할 시에 양수정 주변지역으로 유입되는 염소이온의 확산면적은 1일 $9.32\;m^2$ 정도일 것으로 나타났다.적인 $OH{\cdot}$ 의 생성은 ascorbate가 조직손상에 관여할 가능성을 시사하였다.었다. 정확한 예측치를 얻기 위하여 불균질 조직이 조사야에 포함되는 경우 보정이 요구되며, 골반의 경우 골 조직의 보정이 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다. 이를 위하여 불균질 조직에 대한 정확한 정보가 요구되며, 이는 CT 영상을 이용하는 것이 크게 도움이 되리라 생각된다.전시 슬러지층과 상등액의 온도차를 측정하여 대사열량의 발생량을 측정하고 슬러지의 활성을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다.enin과 Rhaponticin의 작용(作用)에 의(依)한 것이며, 이는 한의학(韓醫學) 방제(方劑) 원리(原理)인 군신좌사(君臣佐使) 이론(理論)에서 군약(君藥)이 주증(主症)에 주(

Large-scale earthquakes are occurring globally, especially in the South Asian crust, which is experiencing a state of tension in the aftermath of the 2011 East Japan Earthquake. Uncertainty and fear regarding the possibility of further seismic activity in the near future have been on the rise in the region. The National Disaster Management Research Institute has previously studied and analyzed the overflow characteristics of a tsunami and the rate of flood forecasting through tsunami numerical simulations of the East Sea of South Korea. However, there is currently a significant lack of research on the Southern Coast tsunamis compared to the East Coast. On the Southern Coast, the tidal difference is between 1~4 m, and the impact of the tides is hard to ignore. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the impact of the tide propagation characteristics on the tsunami. Occurrence regions that may cradle tsunamis that affect the southern coast region are the Ryukyu Island and Nankai Trough, which are active seafloor fault zones. The Southern Coast has not experienced direct damage from tsunamis before, but since the possibility is always present, further research is required to prepare precautionary measures in the face of a potential event. Therefore, this study numerically simulated a hypothetical tsunami scenario that could impact the southern coast of South Korea. In addition, the tidal wave propagation characteristics that emerge at the shore due to tide and tsunami interactions will be analyzed. This study will be used to prepare for tsunamis that might occur on the southern coast through tsunami hazard and risk analysis.

Vertical CTDT measurement at one point near tidewater glacier of fjord-head in Marian Cove, a tributary embayment of Maxwell Bay, South Shetland Islands was performed for 24 hours during the austral summer (January 21-22, 1998) to present water-column properties and SPM (suspended particulate matter) dispersal pattern in subpolar glaciomarine setting. Marian Cove shows three distinct water layers: 1) cold, freshened, and highly turbid surface plume in the upper 2 m, 2) warm, saline, and relatively clean Maxwell Bay water between 15-35 m in water depth, and 3) cold and turbid mid plume between 40-65 m in water depth. The surface plume is composed of silt-sized clastie particles mixed with flocculated biogenic detritus, and appears to originate from either supraglacial discharge by meltwater streams along the coast or water fall of ice cliff. Freshened and turbid mid plume consists exclusively of silt-sized clastic particles, resulting from subglacial discharge beneath the tidewater glacier. The disappearance of the two turbid plumes during the earlier period of measurement seems to be largely due to the breakup of the plumes by upwelling caused by strong easterly wind (> 8 m $sec^{-1}$). Thus, wind coupling over tidal effects regionally plays a major role in dispersal pattern of SPM as well as water exchange in Marian Cove.

The changes of tidal characteristics of Kyonggi-Bay Region after the Large Reclamations in the Inchon Coastal Area have been studied by the numerical modelling. The constructions of Inchon International Airport and Sihwa Seadike were considered as the main reclaimation projects in this region. A two dimensional hydrodynamic model was used for this study, and it was composed in relatively high resolution with curvilinear orthogonal coordinate. As the results, at the Inchon harbor and Palmido, where a deep channel is developed, the semi tidal ranges(Z$_0$) were decreased in 8 cm after the two reclamations. However, the Z$_0$ values in the outside of the deep channel were decreased only in 2~4 cm, so that the tidal changes in the deep channel were greater than in the outside of it. After the reclamations, the maxmum velocity was increased 17% at the Inchon harbor, however it was decreased from 1. 55 m/s to 1.10 m/s at the Palmido. This is because the available area in which the stream may spread out was largely reduced after the reclamations. An Asan-bay region, the Z$_0$ was decreased in 5 cm at the Punyang-man and Asan-man stations located after the reclamations in Inchon coastal area. However the changes of Z$_0$ were very little at the outside of Asan-bay. In Asan-bay, the current velocity and direction were little influenced by the reclamations in Inchon coastal area.

This study focused on variability of the sea water temperatures observed off the Dangjin Power Plant in the central west coast of Korea for the period of 1998-1999. Spatial averaged temperature shows the annual range of $20.3^{\circ}C$, with minimum of $3.3^{\circ}C$ in February and maximum of $23.6^{\circ}C$ in August. Horizontal distribution patterns are seasonally reversing: The temperatures are increasing toward inshore of the period of April to October, while they are increasing toward of offshore for the rest of year. Spectral analyses of temperature records show significant peaks at M2 and S2 tidal periods, since the water movement in the study area is influenced by strong tide. The responses of temperature variations to tidal phase show different seasonal characteristics: The temperatures are increasing at flood phases in winter and ebb phases in summer. Amplitudes of the components at M2 and S2 periods are $0.8^{\circ}C\;and\;0.5^{\circ}C$, accounting for 70-80% of daily variation. Coherency analyses between non-tidal components of temperature and wind speed show that in summer, northerly wind components significantly coherent with temperature at 2.8 days period, while in winter, southerly wind component is coherent with 2.4 days period, with 0.6 and 0.7 day phase-lags, respectively.
