This study evaluated the contamination levels of inland pollution sources flowing into Taeanhaean National Park. The nutritional status of influents was assessed by analyzing water quality and trophic status index (TRIX) at 52 stations, and the contamination levels of sediments were evaluated by analyzing eutrophication cleanup index (CIET) and heavy metals at 36 stations. The results of the TRIX analysis showed that 26 of the 52 stations had influents with a TRIX value of 6-10 (poor water quality/very high trophic level), indicating atrocious water quality and high eutrophication levels. The results of the CIET analysis showed that 4 out of the 36 stations were highly contaminated with organic matter. Analysis of heavy metals showed that the copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) levels exceeded the threshold effects level (TEL) and probable effects levels (PEL) at several stations. In addition, the arsenic (As) level exceeded the threshold effects level at one station, and the levels of the other heavy metals (Cd, Cr⁶⁺, Ni, Pb, and Hg) were lower. Most inland pollution sources have been identified as small-scale, but long-term and continuous exposure can negatively affect the marine ecosystem; therefore, it necessary to prepare inland pollution source management standards and measures suitable for the characteristics of the coastal area.

영산강 하구는 연안지역에 하구언이 축조되어 인공적으로 환경이 변화된 시스템이다. 또한 최근에는 담수역에 보가 건설되었고 담수 조류가 대증식하는 사례가 빈번하게 보고되고 있다. 이러한 담수가 간헐적으로 하구언 수문을 통해 해수역으로 방류되면서 하구의 해수역 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있지만 아직까지 해양 생태계의 건강성 변화에 대한 평가는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3개 정점을 대상으로 담수 방류 이전과 이후 4일 동안 시행된 해양환경과 식물플랑크톤에 대한 현장조사 자료를 활용하여 수질 및 건강성을 평가하고자 하였다. 건강성 평가를 위해 WQI, TRIX, P-IBI 등의 기법을 활용하였고 P-IBI 기준 설정을 위해 장기간 수집된 자료를 이용하였다. 평가 결과 공간적으로 하구언의 수문과 가까운 정점에서 건강성 등급이 낮았고 외해로 갈수록 등급이 높아지는 것으로 나타났지만 시간적으로는 평가기법에 따라 건강성 지수의 차이를 보였다. WQI와 TRIX는 방류 중에 지수가 증가하였다가 방류 후에 전 상태로 회복되는 경향을 보인 반면 P-IBI는 방류 후에 오히려 증가함으로써 건강성이 악화되는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 하구와 같이 급변하는 환경에서는 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 부유생물인 식물플랑크톤 군집이 지표로 포함된 P-IBI와 같은 기법이 더 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

우포늪의 4개 습지를 대상으로 2005년 3월부터 2009년 12월까지 매월 영양염과 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도를 모니터링 하였으며, 이를 토대로 수질 영양 단계를 평가하였다. 질산성질소와 암모니아성질소, 총질소 등 질소 계열 영양염은 선행 연구 결과와 비교시 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 총질소의 경우, 아직까지 수화발생 기준과 부영양 기준 농도를 상당히 초과하여 용존되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 인산염인과 총인 농도 또한 선행 연구와 비교 시 상당히 감소한 것으로 조사되었으나, 총인은 총질소와 마찬가지로 부영양 기준을 초과하여 용존되어 있었다. 질소 계열과 인 계열 영양염은 4개 습지 중 쪽지벌에서 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 엽록소-$\alpha$의 평균 농도는 우포에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 목포에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 쪽지벌과 목포에서는 하계에 높게 나타났고, 우포와 사지포에서는 비하계 기간 동안 높게 나타났다. TRIX 분석을 통해 우포늪의 수질 영양 상태를 평가한 결과 4개 습지 모두 생산성이 높고 영양 단계가 높은 수질을 의미하는 poor water quality 상태로 조사되었다.

The application of Hadamard matrix to the paral-lel routings on the hypercube network was presented by Rabin. In this matrix every two rows differ from each other by exactly n/2 positions. A set of n disjoint paths on n-dimensional hypercube net-work was designed using this peculiar property of Hadamard ma-trix. Then the data is dispersed into n packets and these n packet are transmitted along these n disjoint paths. In this paper Rabin's routing algorithm is analyzed in terms of covering problem and as-signment problem. Finally we conclude that n packets dispersed are placed in well-distributed positions during transmisson and the ran-domly selected paths are almost a set of n edge-disjoint paths with high probability.

To investigate an effect of phase separation on precipitation characteristics of ZnS microcrystals in ma-trix glass ZnS doped borosilicate glasses for nonlinear optical applications were prepared by melting and pre-cipitation process. ZnS dopant contributed to phase separation promotion which increased the phase separa-tion of the matrix glass within immiscibility region. It was also found that ZnS as phase separation promoter showed a similar contribution for some selected glass compositions in miscibility region. The precipitation of ZnS microcrystals occurred in thephase separable glass compoitions. The radius of ZnS microcrystals in-creased with increasing the heat treatment temperature and Na2O contents of matrix glass composition. The ZnS particle sizes estimated by effective mass approximation ranged from about 30 to 80${\AA}$ It was suf-ficiently small to show quantum confinement effect.

In this work, we applied the 1D $11^B$ nutation NMR method for the analysis of the local structural environments in powdered borosilicates $(SiO_2-B_2O_3)$. Spin dynamics during a rf irradiation for spin I=3/2 was analytically calculated with a density ma trix formalism. Spectral simulation programs were written in MATLAB on a PC. Two borosilicates prepared by the sol-gel process at different stabilization temperature were used for the 1D $11^B$ nutation NMR experiment. The $11^B$ NMR parameters, quadrupole coupling constants $(e^2qQ/h)$ and asymmetry parameters (η), for each borosilicate were extracted from the nonlinear least-squares fitting. The effects of heat treatments on the local structures of boron sites in borosilicates were discussed.

Aggregates of specific cells are often regarded as better from in artificial organs and mammalian cell bioreactors in terms of cell-specific functionality. In this study, the morphology and liver specific functions of freshly harvested primary rat hepatocytes, which were cultivated as spheroids and entrapped in a synthetic thermo-reversible extracellular matrix, were examined and compared to a control (hepatocytes in single cell form). A copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide(98 mole % in feed) and acrylic acid (poly (NiPAAm-co-AAC)), a thermo- reversible copolymer gel ma- trix, was used to entrap hepatocytes either in spheroids or single cells. During a 7-day culture pe-riod, the spheroids maintained higher viability and produced albumin and urea at a relatively con-stant rate, while, the single cell culture showed a slight increase in cell numbers and a reduction in albumin secretion Hepatocytes cultrured as spheroids present a potentially useful three-dimensional cell culture system for application in bioartificial liver device.

We investigated nutrient loading and trophic states in a coastal estuarine system in the Asan estuary by assessing phytoplankton biomass and using the trophic index (TRIX). The monthly and yearly nutrient loading (TN, TP) from freshwater discharge from the Asan and Sapgyo reservoirs into the estuary were estimated and analyzed with related factors. Monitoring data (physio-chemical and biological variables) collected at five estuary stations were used to assess trophic states. Descriptive statistics of total phytoplankton cells, chl a concentrations and primary productivity were also used to assess seasonal trophic status. N loading from freshwater ranged $1.0{\sim}1.3{\times}10^4$ ton yearly. The yearly P loading ranged between 350 and 400 ton during 2004~2006, increasing to 570 ton in 2007. Regression results suggest that DIN and DSi were correlated with freshwater discharge at the upper region. Based on phytoplankton biomass and total cell abundance, the trophic state of the estuary was found to be eutrophic during spring due to phytoplankton bloom. Primary productivity level was remarkably high, especially in summer coinciding with high nutrient loading. Pheopigments increased during warm seasons, i.e. summer and fall. Trophic index results indicate that the trophic state varied between mesotrophic and eutrophic in the estuary water body, especially in the upper region. The results suggest that phytoplankton production was regulated by nutrient loading from freshwater whereas biomass was affected by other properties than nutrient loading in the Asan Estuary ecosystem.

Multi-index hashing (MIH) is the state-of-the-art method for indexing binary codes, as it di-vides long codes into substrings and builds multiple hash tables. However, MIH is based on the dataset codes uniform distribution assumption, and will lose efficiency in dealing with non-uniformly distributed codes. Besides, there are lots of results sharing the same Hamming distance to a query, which makes the distance measure ambiguous. In this paper, we propose a data-oriented multi-index hashing method (DOMIH). We first compute the covariance ma-trix of bits and learn adaptive projection vector for each binary substring. Instead of using substrings as direct indices into hash tables, we project them with corresponding projection vectors to generate new indices. With adaptive projection, the indices in each hash table are near uniformly distributed. Then with covariance matrix, we propose a ranking method for the binary codes. By assigning different bit-level weights to different bits, the returned bina-ry codes are ranked at a finer-grained binary code level. Experiments conducted on reference large scale datasets show that compared to MIH the time performance of DOMIH can be improved by 36.9%-87.4%, and the search accuracy can be improved by 22.2%. To pinpoint the potential of DOMIH, we further use near-duplicate image retrieval as examples to show the applications and the good performance of our method.
