This study investigated the distributional pattern of meiobenthos associated with future deep-sea mining in the Korea Deep Ocean Study area present in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ) located in the southeastern part of the North Pacific Ocean. Standing stocks of meiobenthos were investigated in benthic impact experiment sites (BIS) and Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology long-term monitoring (KOMO) sites during the 2008-2014 annual field survey. A total of 14 taxa of meiobenthos were identified. Nematodes were the most abundant taxon (60-86%). Harpacticoid copepods (5-26%) and benthic foraminifera (1-12%) were also dominant at all sites. The total meiobenthic densities varied from 4 to 150 ind./10 cm2. The mean value of total meiobenthic abundance was higher at BIS than at KOMO sites, but there was no significant difference between the two sites. The mean values of the number of taxa and biomass at BIS and KOMO sites were similar. The mean abundance of nematodes that were the most dominant taxa was also higher at BIS than at KOMO sites. The standing stocks in our study sites were relatively lower than those previously reported at other CCFZ sites. These results seem to reflect a low organic concentration in the study area.

일본 훗카이도와 그 주변 지역의 238개의 관측소에서 관측한 깊이 0~300km내에서 일어난 4050개의 지진 중 P파 64,024개와 5파 64,618개를 Kim과 Bae(2004)에 의해 개발된 3 성분 토모그래피에 이용하였다. Vp/Vs의 속도 이상대가 훗카이도와 그 주변 지역에서 명확하게 나타났다. Double Seismic Zone(DSZ)의 Seismic Planes는, 훗카이도 주변에서 지진 위험도가 높게 나타나는, 40~80Km의 깊이에서 훗카이도 아래로 태평양판이 섭입하는 것이 발견되었다. 모호 불연속면아래에서 높은 Vp/Vs 이상대의 발견은 Moriya(1994)에 의해 제안된, 쿠릴 열도(Okhotsk Plate 혹은 North American Plate)가 NE 일본 열도(Amurian Plate 혹은 Eurasian Plate)와 충돌하고, 동시에 태평양판이 훗카이도의 Central Tectonic Axis($142^{\circ}{\sim}143^{\circ}E$)와 Hikada Mountain Range(HMR) Corner를 따라 지체구조력의 균형을 이루는 두 개의 판 아래로 섭입하고 있는, 표면 삼중 충돌 가설의 증거이다. 낮은 Vp와 Vs는 장력을 나타내는 지진 메커니즘의 표현인 Central Tectonic Axis을 따라 동쪽과 서쪽에서 발견되었다. 이들 현상은 이 지역에서의 낮은 부게 중력 이상값과 일치한다. 이것은 왜 큰 지진의 대부분이 훗카이도의 3개의 지체구조력의 3중 접합점에 의해 지체구조력의 균형이 깨어지는, 훗카이도 바깥쪽에서 일어나는지 알 수 있다.

Background: Breast Cancer (BCa) is the most common malignant tumour in Mexican women. In BCa, several studies have linked ${\beta}2-adrenergic$ receptor activation with increased tumour growth and progression as related with Epinephrine-NorEpinephrine (E-NE) stimulation. The aim of this study was to describe Beta-Blocker (BB) treatment related with reduction of the risk of metastasis in Mexican patients with BCa. Materials and Methods: We collected data of 120 patients seen at the High-Specialty Naval General Hospital in Mexico City (HOSGENAES), all of these with a histopathological diagnosis of BCa. Four groups of patients were divided as follows: without Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH); with SAH treatment with non-selective BB; with SAH treatment with selective BB, and with SAH treatment with other antihypertensive drugs. Chi-square, Mantel-Haenszel, Student t, and ANOVA tests were performed for data analysis. Results: On average, patients were $54.8{\pm}11.8$ years of age. Risk factors such as smoking and consuming alcohol exhibited a frequency of 33 and 36.5% respectively. Clinical stages III- IV were found in 50% of patients, while, 30% of patients had arterial hypertension (n=29 and N=96, respectively) and 17.5% used BB. One hundred percent of patients with arterial hypertension treated with BB for ${\beta}1$ - and ${\beta}2$ -adrenergic-receptors did not present metastasis globally, but patients treated with ${\beta}1$ BB presented 30% of metastasis while patients treated with no BB or without SAH had around 70% of metastasis. Conclusions: In Mexican patients with BCa and SAH treated with non-selective (${\beta}1$- and ${\beta}2-adrenergic$ receptors) BB, a decrease in the risk for metastasis was observed at the time of diagnosis.

The EM 120, a newly installed multibeam echo sounder on RM Onnuri, has several advantages over the previously installed SeaBeam 2000 in performance and thus data quality. The EM 120 system provides a bottom topographic map with high resolution by (1) increasing the number of beams, (2) increasing the across track swath range, (3) measuring the more accurate sound velocity within the water column, and (4) improving stabilization for pitching, rolling, and yawing of the ship. This study compares EM 120 and SeaBeam 2000 echo sounders in terms of the data quality from the same survey area in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, NE Pacific. Our result shows that the EM 120 provides more precise topographic data than the SeaBeam 2000. Although overall trends of data, such as topographic direction and relief, are similar for both echo sounders, the water depths measured by the EM 120 are shallower than that of SeaBeam 2000 by 80 to 90 meters.

Deep-sea Resources Research Center (DRRC) has been using a free-fall grab (FFG) for the resource evaluation of polymetallic nodules in the KODOS (Korea Deep Ocean Study) area, NE Pacific, since 1992. A FFG model (Model 4200, Benthos) adapting one glass buoy system (diameter 17 inch, net buoyance 25.4 kg) has been used until 1993. Since then, DRRC has carried out a study to increase the recovery rate of FFG and it was found that a revised system adapting an additional buoy (diameter 10 inch, net buoyance 4.5 kg) gives improved results. The nodule sampling tests were performed using two different models for the same study area and the resulting recovery rates were compared. The result shows no distinct difference in recovery time between two models, but average recovery rate of the revised model was increased to 99.44% from 96.06% of the original model.

북동태평양 대한민국 망간단괴 광구중 하나인 KR1 지역에서 망간단괴의 분포특성을 파악하기 위하여 정밀수심 측량과 망간단괴의 특성(외형, 조직, 크기, 금속함량) 분석을 수행하였다. 작고(<2 cm), 매끄럽고(s-형), 불규칙하고(I-형), Fe의 함량이 높은 망간단괴가 KR1의 북동부(KR1-2) 지역에 우세하게 분포하는 것에 비하여, KR1의 남서부(KR1-1) 지역에서는 상대적으로 Mn, Cu, Ni의 함량이 높고, 크고(2~4 cm), 거칠고(t-형, d-형), 원반형(D-형)의 망간단괴가 우세하게 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 정밀수심 자료에 의하면 상대적으로 KR1-1 지역은 수심이 깊고(3,838~4,799 m; 평균 4,599 m), KR1-2 지역은 3,940~4,664 m (평균: 4,451 m)의 수심을 보이며 소규모의 해저산이 발달해 있다. KR1 지역에서 나타나는 이러한 수심과 망간단괴에 포함된 Mn, Cu, Ni의 함량과의 상관성은 태평양 전역에 걸쳐 나타나는 일반적인 특성과도 일치한다. 또한 망간단괴의 크기와 형태와 관련하여, KR1-2 지역에 분포하고 있는 소규모 해저산에서부터 망간단괴의 핵으로 사용되는 암편의 공급이 원활하기 때문에 작고 매끄럽고 불규칙한 초기 형태의 망간단괴가 주로 분포하고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 연구결과는 망간단괴의 분포특성에 있어서, 수심과 더불어 해저지형의 특성이 중요한 변수로 작용할 수 있음을 보여준다.

This study was conducted to prepare hamburg steak (HS), cooked rice with vegetables (CRV), and white stew (WS) using Pacific anchovies Engraulis japonicus with different physical and nutritional properties as senior-friendly seafoods (SFS) and investigate their quality characteristics. The hardness values of HS, CRV, and WS were 319.5×10³, 20.4×10³and 2.1×10³ N/m², respectively. The viscosity of the WS was 12,514 mPa·s. The nutritional properties of HS, CRV, and WS were 19.7, 6.2, and 7.5 g/100 g of protein, respectively; 12.50, 83.97, and 15.96 ㎍RAE/100 g vitamin A; 1.53, 1.51, and 0.35 ㎍/100 g vitamin D; 16.96, 2.82, and 4.13 mg/100 g vitamin C; 0.40, 0.07, and 0.19 mg/100 g riboflavin; 6.68, 0.34, and 2.30 mg NE/100 g niacin; 93.6, 35.4, and 82.1 mg/100 g Ca; 290.1, 103.9, and 158.6 mg/100 g K; and 0.11, 0.02, and 0.04 mg/100 g of dietary fiber. Escherichia coli was not detected in any of the products. These results suggest that HS be classified as step 1, CRV as step 2, and WS as step 3, according to the SFS standards of the KS. Overall, the nutritional and physical properties of the products were improved.

Verifying the similarity of environmental characteristics between an artificial impact site and a preserved or reference site is necessary to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the environmental impact of mining activity. Although an impact site (BIS station) and a preserved site (called KOMO station) that have been selected in the Korea manganese nodule contract area may share similar environmental characteristics, similarities in terms of the water column environment between both sites has not been investigated. In this study, we compared the chemical properties of the water columns and sinking particle fluxes between BIS and KOMO stations through two observations (August 2011 and September 2012). Additionally, we observed particle fluxes at the KOMO station for five years (July 2003~July 2008) to understand long-term natural variability. Vertical distributions of water column properties such as dissolved oxygen, inorganic nutrients (N, P, Si), total organic carbon below surface layer (within the depth range of 200 m) were not considerably different between the two sites. Especially, values of water column parameters in the abyssopelagic zone from 4000 m to bottom layer (~5000 m) were very similar between the BIS and KOMO sites. Sinking particle fluxes from the two sites also showed similar seasonality. However, natural variation of particle flux at the KOMO site varied from 3.5 to $129.9mg\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$, with a distinct temporal variation originating from ENSO events (almost forty times higher than a minimum value). These results could provide valuable information to more exactly evaluate the environmental impact of mining activity on water columns.

웨이브렛(wavelet) 이론을 이용한 디지털 필터를 심해저 광물자원 개발광구 중 KR5 지역의 실제 수심자료에 적용하였다. 이 연구에서는 Linear B-spline 웨이브렛 필터와 Cubic B-spline 함수의 미분 웨이브렛 필터를 사용하였으며, 적절한 변수를 결정하여 필터를 적용하여 선형으로 발달된 해저구릉과 해저곡의 위치 및 해저구릉의 경사면의 방향을 추출하였다. 2-D 행렬의 필터에서 해저구릉의 너비와 길이를 결정하는 필터의 길이와 수를 시행착오를 거쳐 추정하였다. 필터의 적용으로 추출한 특징들은 실제 지형도상 해저구릉과 해저곡과 일치하였다. 필터 적용으로 해저구릉과 해저곡의 형태를 분리하여 추출함으로써 지형분석에 더 많은 정보를 제공하고, 해저구릉의 경사면의 방향과 위치를 도면상에 도시하여 지형 자료 분석에 유용하게 사용된다. 이러한 지형 특성의 분석은 망간단괴의 분포 특성과의 비교를 통하여 심해저 광물자원 채광지역 선정에 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

Satellite navigation systems, with the exception of the GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), adopt ionosphere models and provide ionospheric coefficients to single-frequency users via navigation messages to correct ionospheric delay, the main source of positioning errors. A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) mostly has its own ionospheric models: the Klobuchar model for Global Positioning System (GPS), the NeQuick-G model for Galileo, and the BeiDou Global Ionospheric delay correction Model (BDGIM) for BeiDou satellite navigation System (BDS)-3. On the other hand, a Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) such as the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and BDS-2 uses the Klobuchar Model rather than developing a new model. QZSS provides its own coefficients that are customized for its service area while BDS-2 slightly modifies the Klobuchar model to improve accuracy in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, BDS broadcasts multiple ionospheric parameters depending on the satellites, unlike other systems. In this paper, we analyzed the different ionospheric models of GPS, QZSS, and BDS in Korea. The ionospheric models of QZSS and BDS-2, which are based in Asia, reduced error by at least 25.6% compared to GPS. However, QZSS was less accurate than GPS during geomagnetic storms or at low latitude. The accuracy of the models according to the BDS satellite orbit was also analyzed. The BDS-2 ionospheric model showed an error reduction of more than 5.9% when using GEO coefficients, while in BDS-3, the difference between satellites was within 0.01 m.
