Primary production of epiphytic and planktonic algae in a shallow reed zone of a lagoon Nishinoko was investigated. Concentrations of nutrients varied widely horizontally and locally in the lagoon. It seems that the reed zone has a heterogeneous environment. The photosynthetic rates of epiphytic and planktonic algae were 7 to 14 mg C surface stem $m^{-2}hr^{-1}$ and 12 to $46mg\;Cm^{-3}hr^{-1}$, respectively. The areal primary production of epiphytic algae was estimated as 4 to $13mg\;Cm^{-2}hr^{-1}$ from the stem density of Phragmites and the water depth at each station. The production of phytoplankton, on the other hand, was 5 to $56mg\;Cm^{-2}hr^{-1}$. The contribution of epiphytic algae to total primary production averaged 53%, although the assimilation number was much lower than that of phytoplankton. The present results indicate that the epiphytic algae are one of the significant primary producers in the reed zone.

Effect of the addition of an enzyme/microbial additive(EMA) to enhance anaerobic digestion of the primary sludge was investigated. Two laboratory scale anaerobic digester were operated with primary sludge taken from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. The digester receiving EMA with the sludge feed performed better than the control digester, when both were operated at 10-days and 15-days Solid Retention Time(SRT). Addition of EMA to the experimental digester provided 7%(10-days SRT) and 16%(15-days SRT) higher gas production compared to the control digester when both were fed with the same amount of volatile solids. The reduction in volatile solids was 24% better in the experimental digester compared to the control ar 10-days SRT, and the improvement 10% at 15-day SRT. Improvement in COD reduction, and fecal coliform density reduction were also seen in the experimental digester due to EMA addition compared to the control both ar 10-days SRT and 15-day SRT operation. Preliminary cost benefit analysis for a wastewater treatment plant showed that approximately $115/day in gas production improvements can be realized upon addition of EMA to primary sludge anaerobic digesters operating at 10-day SRT. The value of increased gas production was $172/day if the same digesters are operated with EMA addition at 15-day SRT.

1984년 5월과 10월, 2회에 걸쳐 동해 서남 해역에서 조사한 수온, 클로로필-a, 영양염, 식물플랑크톤 및 일차생산에 관한 자료를 토대로 하여 대산 수역의 phytohydrography를 논의하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 종별 양적분포로 부터 특성 해수의 이전 환경을 추측할 수 있었는데, 이는 해양물리${\cdot}$화학적인 자료만으로는 기대하기 어려운 결과였다. 울기 및 감포 부근 해역의 상층부에서는, 그 하층에 근접한 냉수로 부터 영양염을 공급받아, 높은 일차생산력, 높은 클로로필-a 및 낮은 미세플랑크톤 비율 등의 특징이 나타났다. 반면에 대마난류수에는 매우 낮은 일차생산력, 빈약한 현존량 및 극히 높은 미세플랑크톤 비율 등의 특징이 나타나 좋은 대조를 이루었다. 연구해역에서 식물플랑크톤의 세포수 뿐만 아니라 클로로필-a 및 일차생산량에서도 미세플랑크톤이 압도적으로 우세함을 확인하였다. 이는 한반도 전해역 가운데 난류수가 예외적으로 강하게 유입되는 연구해역의 생물해양학적 특성을 잘 반영해 주는 현상이다.

This study was designed to characterize endotoxin-induced prostaglandin production in primary cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The time course for prostaglandin synthesis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated VSMC showed that the maximum production was reached in 12 hours. LPS induced prostaglandin H2 synthase (PGHS) activity in VSMC and the time course profile in the changes of PGHS activity paralleled that of total prostaglandin production. Differential treatment showed that 4 hours' exposure to LPS was enough for the maximum effect on the prostaglandin production and this effect was completely inhibited by the co-treatment of actinomycin D, a transcription inhibitor. These results suggest that LPS effect might be determined within 4 hours. Actinomycin D increased PGHS activity without affecting prostaglandin production if added 4 hours after LPS treatment. On the other hand, cyclogeximide, a translation inhibitor, augmented LPS-induced prostaglandin production if treated during first four hours, but it inhibited LPS-induced PGHS activity regardless of treatment schedule. These results suggest the existence of multiple regulating mechanisms in the LPS-induced prostaglandin synthesis.

The abundant nutrients contained in deep seawater are delivered by natural upwellings from the deep sea to the surface sea. However, the natural upwelling phenomenon is limited to specific areas of the sea; in other areas, the thermocline separates the surface sea from the lower layer. Thus, the surface layer is often deficient in nutritive salts, causing the deterioration of its primary productivity and ultimately leading to an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. Without a consistent supply of nitrogenous nutritive salts, they are absorbed by phytoplankton, resulting in a considerable problem in primary productivity. To solve this issue, a floating type of artificial upwelling system is suggested to artificially pump up, distribute, and diffuse deep seawater containing rich nutritive salts. The key technologies for developing such a floating artificial upwelling system are a floating offshore structure with a large diameter riser, self-supplying energy system, density current generating system, method for estimating the emission and absorption of CO2, and way to evaluate the primary production variation. Strengthening the primary production of the sea by supplying deep seawater to the sea surface will result in a sea environment with abundant fishery resources.

이 연구에서는 GOCI 자료로부터 산출된 엽록소농도(CHL), 광합성유효광량(PAR), 진광층 깊이 및 국외 위성 기반의 해수면온도자료(SST)를 이용하여 동해 연안의 일차생산량 지도를 작성하고, 각 인자들에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 광범위한 냉수대가 발현한 2013년 7월 25일과 대규모 적조가 발생한 2013년 8월 13일에는 평균 1,012 mg C m^-2 d^-1 및 1,945 mg C m^-2 d^-1의 높은 일차생산량을 보였다. 냉수대와 적조가 물러난 2013년 8월 25일에는 평균 778 mg C m^-2 d^-1의 일차생산량을 보여 기존 연구의 분석결과와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 민감도 분석결과, 광합성유효광량은 일차생산량 계산 결과에 큰 영향을 주지 않았으나, 진광층 깊이와 엽록소 농도는 평균 민감도인 0.5 이상의 값을 보였다. 특히 해수면 온도는 결과값에 매우 큰 변화를 가져와 해수면 온도 자료에 오류가 있을 경우 일차생산량 계산 결과에 큰 오류를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구 결과, 일차 생산량 연구에 GOCI 자료가 활용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 하루 8회 영상획득이 가능한 GOCI를 적용함으로써 일차생산량 추정을 위한 입력변수들의 정확도가 향상되어, 국외의 극궤도 위성에 비해 정밀도가 높은 일차생산량 추정이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to improve oyster farming condition, estimation of food availability (CC) was carried out in Garorim Bay, Seosan, Korea. The primary production of the waters were ranged from 0.07 to $0.26gC/m^2/day$. A strong tendency was observed that the inner side of the bay was higher at primary production. Estimated food availability was ranged from 0.0424 to 1.655. Temporal shortage in food supply was observed at April with about 15% less than the oysters' requirement, which may be causative of spat mortality after introducing into the farms. Food availability was met the food demand during summer but significant shortage was also observed at after August, which may main causative of retarded oyster fattening in the waters. This study suggested that adjustment of cultural density may be necessary for the improved harvesting of the oyster.

Difference of Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorus (DIP), Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) and Dissolved Silicate (DSi) budgets in the Bohai Sea between 1982 and 1992 related the decrease of the Yellow River discharge is discussed on the basis of observed data. The estuarine circulation in the Bohai Sea had been weakened from 1982 to 1992 due to the decrease of the Yellow River discharge and the average residence time of fresh water had become longer. DIN concentration increased but DIP and DSi concentrations decreased from 1982 to 1992 in the Bohai Sea. Primary production was regulated mainly by water temperature and DIN concentration in 1982 but it was regulated mainly by DIP concentration in 1992. Primary production was larger than decomposition plus bottom release and nitrogen fixation was larger than denitrification in 1982. However, decomposition plus bottom release was larger than primary production and denitrification was larger than nitrogen fixation in 1992 in the Bohai Sea.

This study is a middle report on the development of intelligent spot welding monitoring technology applicable to the production line. An intelligent algorithm has been developed to predict the quality of welding in real time. We examined whether it is effective or not through the In-Line and the Off-Line tests. The purpose of the present study is to provide a reliable solution which can prevent welding defects in production site. In this study, the process variables, which were monitored in the primary circuit of the welding, are used to estimate the weld quality by Hidden Markov Model(HMM). The primary dynamic resistance patterns are recognized and the quality is estimated in probability method during the welding. We expect that the algorithm proposed in the present study is feasible to the applied in the production sites for the purpose of in-process real time quality monitoring of spot welding.
