Natural zeolites have exhibited high sorption capacity for inorganic cations including heavy metals and ammonium. Moreover, they were proven to be effective for environmental applications such as permeable barriers for controlling the spread of cation-contaminated groundwater. However zeolites have little or no affinity for anionic species like chromium, as they possess a net negative structural charge. To achieve the simultaneous sorption for anionic contaminants, surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ) has been employed as the possible sorbents. Current study focuses on simultaneous removal of heavy metals having different ionic form in aqueous solution, cadmium (C $d^{2+}$) and chromium (Cr $O_{4}$$^{2-}$), using newly developed materials, ZanF. ZanF, a potential alternative to SMZ, was derived from zeolite modified by Fe(II) chloride followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Batch experiments were performed to estimate the removal efficiency of ZanF at different conditions. Under different pH ranging from 2 to 6, removal efficiency was investigated. And C $d^{2+}$ removal efficiency was estimated by varying background concentration of Cr $O_{4}$$^{2-}$, and vice versa. With the test results, ZanF was expected to be a possible reactive materials alternative to SMZ in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for treating the contaminated groundwater with cationic and anionic heavy metals.als.

Batch test and column test were performed to develop the design factors for permeable reactive barriers(PRBs) against ammonium and heavy metals, Clinoptilolite, a kind of natural zeolites having excellent cation exchange capacity(CEC), was choosen for the reacting materials through the ion-exchange mechanism. In the batch test, the reactivity of clinoptilolite for ammonium, lead, and copper was examined varying the initial concentration of contaminants(ammonium: 20, 40, 80 ppm, heavy metals: 10, 20, 40 ppm) and the particle size of clinoptilolites(0-0.15, 0.42-0.85, 1-1.25 mm). The reactivity is increasing as the initial concentration decrease and particle size decrease. In the column test, the permeability and the reactivity of the specimens were examined using flexible-wall permeameter. Specimens were made of clinoptilolite and Jumunjin-sand with 20 : 80 weight ratio varying particle size of clinoptilolite. The maximum permeability(1${\times}$10$\^$-4/-5${\times}$10$\^$-5/cm/s) was achieved in the specimen made of 0.42-0.85 mm clinoptilolite and sand.

The main purpose of this work is to analyse damages caused by debris flows during the heavy rainfall at Inje province in Kangwondo, Korea. A series of site investigations have been performed to survey the characteristics of debris flows occurred during the summer season of 2006. It has been found that major losses and costs are triggered by discharge of soil and rock fragments from landslides. During the rainfall unexpectedly high precipitation rate of 113.5mm/hour and 355mm/day was recorded, which could happen at a 80-500 year period. Comparing the period of the rainfall with the time of the landslides, it has been found that the occurrence of the landslides is directly related to heavy rainfalls. At present, several debris barriers have been built at the valleys and natural slopes have been protected by the seed spray method. It is intended to propose an appropriate solutions of restoration of landslide damages and maintenance based on findings from the current study.

본 연구에서는 자연사면에서 토석류 산사태 대응공법의 설계 프로그램(CDFlow ver 1.0)을 개발하였다. 이 프로그램은 자연사면에서 발생되는 산사태의 발생 가능성을 평가할 수 있으며, 토석류 산사태로 인하여 발생되는 피해범위를 산정할 수 있다. 또한 이 프로그램은 토석류 산사태의 대응공법 위치와 규모를 설계할 수 있다. 이 프로그램은 가장 잘 알려진 지리정보시스템(GIS) 개발도구중의 하나인 ArcGIS 엔진에서 구동되도록 개발되었다. 그리고 유사동역학적인 습윤지수와 무한사면의 안정해석기법을 적용하여 산사태 발생가능성을 예측하였다. 계산된 사면안전율은 기준안전율과 비교하여 산사태 잠재발생 구간을 선정하고 이를 도면상에 표시하였다. 토석류량은 산사태 잠재발생 구간과 토층심도에 의해 산정된다. 그리고 누적 토석류량은 이동경로를 따라서 계산할 수 있다. 개발된 프로그램의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 산사태 발생현장을 대상으로 적용하였다. 산사태 발생현장은 강원도 인제군 덕산리에 위치하고 있으며, 대상수계에 4개의 사방댐이 설치되어 있다. 토질실험 및 현장조사결과를 토대로 산사태 발생가능성이 높은 구간과 토석류의 이동경로를 산정하였다. 해석결과 기존에 설치된 사방댐의 규모는 계산된 토석류량을 저장하기에 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 프로그램을 이용하여 토석류 산사태 대응공법의 설치위치와 규모를 합리적으로 산정할 수 있을 것이다.

국내의 산불 피해지에서 식생 복구를 위해 주로 적용되는 단순 개별과 조림은 초기에 토사 유출을 과도하게 발생시킬 수 있으므로, 토양 안정화를 위해서 조림 복구 시기의 조절을 고려해야 하고, 자연 복원력이 낮은 지역에는 토양 안정성을 증진시키는 사면 처리가 필요하다. 본 종설에서는 주로 북미와 유럽 지역에서 산불 피해 산림의 토양 보존을 위해 수행되었던 대표적인 사면 처리 기술인 씨뿌리기, 멀칭, 통나무 경사막이 등의 효과에 대하여 고찰하였다. 씨뿌리기는 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 방법임에도 불구하고 식생 피도와 토양 침식에 미치는 영향은 분명치 않으며, 자생 식물의 재생을 저해하는 부정적인 효과가 밝혀졌다. 멀칭은 토양 침식의 감소에 효과적이지만, 역시 외래 식물종의 도입과 자생종 재생의 저해라는 부정적인 효과도 있음이 밝혀졌다. 통나무 경사막이의 효과에 대한 연구는 극히 제한적이지만, 강우량이 적은 시기에는 효과가 있으나 많은 시기에는 효과가 뚜렷하지 않다는 연구가 보고되어 있다. 이와 같이 산불 피해지의 사면처리는 자연 복원력이 높은 지역에 불필요하게 적용하였을 때 오히려 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있음으로, 자연 복원력이 낮으며 자생종의 재생보다 강우 및 토사 유출의 감소가 시급한 지역에 선택적으로 처리하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 강우 및 토사 유출 감소 여부, 외래 식물종의 도입, 멀칭으로 인한 식생 재생의 저해 등과 관련한 장기적인 모니터링이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Heterokaryotic nuclear hybrids overcoming the natural barriers of incompatibility have been studied in basidiomycetes. To produce these nuclear hybrids between incompatible mushrooms, which have several potent pharmacological effects, nuclear transfer was performed between Lentinula edodes and Coriolus versicolor. Nuclei from serine auxotrophs of Lentinula edodes, $LE207(Ser^{-})$ were transferred into the protoplasts of arginine auxotrophs of Coriolus versicolor, $CV17(Ser^{-})$using 30% polyethylene glycol 4000 in 10 mM $Cacl_{2}$-glycine solution (pH 8.0). Nulcear transfer progenies were selected by nutritional complementation on minimal media supplemented with 0.6 M sucrose. The progenies were classified based on colony morphology to L. edodes-like, C, versicolor-like and non-parental type. Most of the progenies grew slower than either parent. The number of nuclei per cell was similar but the DNA content varied between progenies. The isozyme patterns of nuclear hybrids resembled either of the parent porfiles or showed a mixed profile.

A fishway is a structure on or around artificial and natural barriers, such as dams, locks and waterfalls, to help fishes' natural migration. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, termed SNUFOAM is used to analyze vertical hydraulic characteristic of rollway of fishway. Volume-of-fluid (VOF) method was used to handle free-surface. It is important to determine the factors influencing flow characteristics in fishway because fish use directional information from the flow characteristics to navigate through fishway. Fishway was modeled in 2-D and the influence of the stream velocity, slope, and weir height of fishway was tested. In results, the transition Reynolds number was $2{\times}10^5{\sim}3{\times}10^5$.

Human tropic Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) are the major concern in zoonosis for xenotransplantation because PERVs cannot be eliminated by specific pathogen-free breeding. Recently, a PERV A/C recombinant with PERV-C bearing PERV-A gp70 showed a higher infectivity (approximately 500-fold) to human cells than PERV-A. Additionally, the chance of recombination between PERVs and HERVs is frequently stated as another risk of xenografting. Overcoming zoonotic barriers in xenotransplantation is more complicated by recombination. To achieve successful xenotransplantation, studies on the recombination in PERVs are important. Here, we cloned and sequenced proviral PERV env sequences from pig gDNAs to analyze natural recombination. The envelope is the most important element in retroviruses as a pivotal determinant of host tropisms. As a result, a total of 164 PERV envelope genes were cloned from pigs (four conventional pigs and two miniature pigs). Distribution analysis and recombination analysis of PERVs were performed. Among them, five A/B recombinant clones were identified. Based on our analysis, we determined the minimum natural recombination frequency among PERVs to be 3%. Although a functional recombinant envelope clone was not found, our data evidently show that the recombination event among PERVs may occur naturally in pigs with a rather high possibility.

The study purpose was to examine which factors including health perceptions & behaviors, psychosocial factors, dietary intakes were different by stages of change to reduce fast food consumption among university students. Survey data(n = 341) were analyzed using X$^2$ test or analysis of variance. With respect to stages of change, $17\%$ were in the precontemplation ; $21.4\%$ for contemplation, $19.7\%$ for preparation, 11.7% for action, and $30.2\%$ for the maintenance stage. Frequency of fast food consumption (p < 0.001), health status, interest toward health, and exercising behavior (p < 0.05) differed significantly by stages of change. Demographics and nutrient intakes, however, had no association with stages of change. Those in precontemplation through preparation stages felt more strongly on the advantages such as taste, satiety, cleanness of restaurants (p < 0.001), and diverse menus (p < 0.05). Compared to maintainers or actors, pre-contemplators agreed less to the disadvantages of eating fast foods, including sanitary problems (p < 0.001), overeating, indigestion, decreased vegetable intakes (p < 0.01) and loss of freshness (p < 0.05). Influence of significant others (e.g., friends, siblings, parents) significantly differed by stages of change. Compared with maintainers, those in preaction stages felt less control over facilitators or situations for fast food consumption. These included 'others like fast foods', 'providing standard meals', 'when I don't have foods for meals'(p < 0.001), availability, advertisement, 'socially popular', 'when I feel hungry'(p < 0.01), and 'when I don't like to prepare meals' (p < 0.05). These results suggested that nutrition education be planned considering one's stages of change for fast food consumption. For those in preaction stages, it is desirable to use motivational strategies to increase benefits and remove barriers of change, and help to develop skills to deal with situations or factors for fast food consumption. The support from friends or families is also needed to move to further stages.

Populus. caspica L. is an Iranian indigenous poplar species which naturally distributed in the northern part of country. Unfortunately, overuse has removed many of the stems of better form, so that natural stands now usually appear small and crook. Therefore genetic variation for selection of new superior clone of this species is needed. Conventional hybridization system is currently used to induce genetic variation in poplar species but incompatibility barriers have been observed between them. In vitro ovule embryo culture was used to overcome incompatibility obstacle for interspecific hybridization between Populus caspica L. with Populus deltoids L.62/75. Female flowers of Populus caspica L. have artificially been pollinated with pollen grain of P. deltoides 62/75 in one direction using twig and pot crossing system. Ovaries at different ages (7, 14 and 21 days after pollination) were disinfected through 70% ethanol for 1 minute, 5% of sodium-hypochlorite solution for fifteen min followed by three time rising with sterile distil-water. Isolated ovaries were then transferred to MS hormone free medium containing 30 and 60 g/L sucrose for embryo development and germination. Collected data have been analyzed by two factorial experimental designs. The results indicated that there were significant differences between age of embryos for development and germination at ${\alpha}=0.01%$. Highest embryo germination (45%) was observed from 21 days old ovaries. No significant differences were observed between MS culture media containing 30 and 60 g/L for percentages of ovary-embryo germination and number of germinated embryo per ovary at ${\alpha}=0.05%$. Fourteen percentage of embryo germination obtained in MS medium supplemented with 60 g/L sucrose, while only 35% of isolated ovaries were able to germinate in MS containing 30 g/L sucrose. Induced plantlets in 4 cm height were transferred into pots containing soilless (1:1:1 peat, per lit and vermiculite) medium for acclimatization. After successful acclimatization, plants were delivered to nursery.
