  • To investigate the thermal properties of a water-retentive artificial turf system (W-ATS), we estimated hydrologic parameters including thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and surface albedo for both the W-ATS and natural grass. We used a model experiment to measure surface temperature and evaporation for both the W-ATS and natural grass. We found that the W-ATS had lower thermal conductivity than natural grass did, and it was difficult for the W-ATS to convey radiant heat to the ground. Compared to natural grass, the W-ATS also had lower heat capacity, which contributed to its larger variation in surface temperature: the W-ATS had higher surface temperatures during daytime and lower surface temperatures during nighttime. The albedo of the W-ATS was one-quarter that of natural grass, and reflected shortwave radiation from the W-ATS surface was lower than that from the surface of natural grass. These results indicate that the W-ATS caused the soil temperature to increase. Furthermore, evaporation from the W-ATS was one-quarter the value of evapotranspiration from natural grass.

  • This study was objected to provide suggestions for best management practices to restore the cultural and historical values of the wells in Palaces as well as their water qualities. Water resources in the five Palaces in Seoul Metropolitan, including Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Jongmyo Shrine, and Deoksugung, were surveyed for their physical flows and chemical compositions from April to July in 2010. Ground waters in most wells were found at depths within 5 m from the ground surface, showing typical water-table aquifer systems. Hydraulic gradients indicate water resources in Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, and Changgyeonggung flowing toward south, and toward east in Deoksugung area. Especially, water-level fluctuation data at S-10 in Deoksugung implied the influence of groundwater discharge facility. In Jongmyo Shrine, water was not detected in wells, indicating the water level was lower than the well depth. Based on the water chemistry and stable isotope analyses, water resources and their qualities appeared to be formed by the water-rock interaction along the groundwater paths. S-10 (Deoksugung) and S-14 (Changgyeonggung) samples were contaminated with nitrate ($NO_3$) in levels of higher than Korean drinking water standard, 10 mg/L as $NO_3$-N, but once in four sampling campaigns. In the situation that water resources in Palaces still maintain natural characteristics, the materials that will be used for the restoration and improvement of the Palace water supplies should be carefully selected not to disturb the natural integrity. In addition, because the wells are located in the center of metropolitan area, a systematic monitoring should be applied to detect and to manage the potential impacts of underground construction and various pollution sources.

  • Rainfalls would increase the discharges or stages of tributary channels in natural watersheds, which in turn augment the magnitude of main stream stages. Rising of water surface elevation in main streams can affect and damage the human activities because of the possibilities of the breakdown or overflow of the embankment. Therefore it is necessary to establish the structural or non-structural alternatives for the sake of prevention or treatment of those disasters. Many mathematical models to analyze the flood flows in natural watercourses have been proposed as the non-structural alternatives so far. In this study one of the such models, FLDWAV developed by NWS(National weather Service), is applied to the downstream reach of Nakdong river. Model calibration is performed on various Manning's roughness coefficients at the gauging stations. The simulation results are compared well with hydrological estimations of flood discharges considering the effects of multipurpose dams upstream of control points.

  • In this paper the analysis of natural cause of Beijing Storm inundation and the effect of the human activities has been taken. Flood risk can hardly be eliminated solely by projects. Pre-warning system established is an efficient measure to minimize the influence of flood. Several main functions of this system and their examples are described in the paper, such as: monitoring, forecast, scheme, warning, dynamic decision-making and information publication.

  • 일반적으로 하천의 유량은 댐과 같은 수공구조물에 의해 조정된 유량으로 수자원계획을 위해서 필요한 자연유량과는 차이가 크다. 수자원계획을 수립함에 있어 자연 유입량 정보는 댐 운영과 수문분석을 위한 필수적인 정보이다. 본 연구에서는 댐 유역 일유입량 모의기법을 위한 통합 모형을 개발하였다. 첫째, 장기 강우-유출 모형의 입력강우자료로 사용하기 위하여 평균 및 중앙값과 같은 통계적 모멘트를 효과적으로 재현하고 극치 강우량 재현에 유리한 불연속 Kernel-Pareto 확률분포 기반의 강우모의기법을 통하여 강우모의를 수행하였다. 둘째, SAC-SMA 장기 강우-유출 모형의 매개변수를 Bayesian MCMC 기법을 통하여 최적화하여 산정된 매개변수의 사후분포를 활용하여 댐 유입량 시나리오 도출하였다. 댐 유역을 대상으로 개발된 모형을 평가한 결과 자연유량과 통계적으로 유사한 특성을 가지는 시나리오를 생성할 수 있었으며, 물수지 분석 등과 같은 수자원계획을 위한 시나리오로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Regulation of gastrointestinal hormones have been reported in animal models for constipation undergoing laxative therapy when administered herbal products. We undertook to investigate whether the laxative activity of gallotannin-enriched extracts isolated from Galla Rhois (GEGR) affects the regulation of gastrointestinal hormones, by examining the concentration of four hormones and the activation of their receptors in the loperamide (Lop)-induced constipation model. Stool parameters, including number, weight and water content, were significantly recovered in the Lop+GEGR treated group, relative to the Lop+ vehicle treated group; however, food intake and water consumption were maintained at a constant level. Also, a similar recovery was detected for thickness of mucosa, muscle and flat luminal surface in the Lop+GEGR treated group. Furthermore, concentration of the four gastrointestinal hormones evaluated, namely, cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin (GAS), somatostatin (SS) and motilin (MTL), were lower in the Lop+vehicle treated group than the No treated group, but were remarkably enhanced in the Lop+GEGR treated group. Moreover, the downstream signaling pathway of MTL and SS receptors were recovered after GEGR administration. Results of the present study therefore indicate that the laxative effects of GEGR treatment may be tightly related with the regulation of gastrointestinal hormones in the Lopinduced constipation model.

  • 현재 유기재배에서 잡초 방제를 위한 방법은 관행방법에 비해 효과적이지 못하다. 본 연구는 하늘타리의 잎, 줄기, 열매, 뿌리 추출물 중 어느 부위에서 제초 효과가 가장 높은지를 알아보기 위해서 각 부위별로 물, 열수 그리고 에탄올로 추출하였다. 또한 위의 추출방법 중 제초활성능력이 뛰어난 것을 hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, BuOH, $H_2O$로 용매분획하여 잠재적 제초 성분에 대한 특성을 조사하였다. 전반적으로 오이와 보리의 발아율, 초장 및 근장 억제는 추출방법 중 물 추출법이 가장 효과적이었고, 식물체 부위별로는 열매에서 가장 효과적이었다. Ethyl acetate, butanol, chloroform, hexane, water의 용매분획에서 오이와 보리의 발아율, 초장 및 근장 저해는 물 층에서 가장 좋았고 그 밖의 분획에서는 차이가 없었다. 5% 물 층 추출물 발아전 처리에 의해 바랭이와 까마중의 생장량은 80~100% 억제되었으나, 이 추출물에 의한 오이와 보리뿐만 아니라 잡초종(바랭이, 까마중 등) 경엽처리에 의한 생육저해 효과는 없었다. 본 연구결과로 볼 때 하늘타리 추출물을 친환경 또는 유기농 재배에 잡초방제를 위해 사용할 수 있을 것으로 본다.
