실체현미경과 전계방출형 주사전자현미경 관찰, 에너지분산형 분광분석기를 이용한 화학 분석을 통하여 황해중앙이질대에서 채취된 46개의 표층 퇴적물 시료 내에 포함되어 있는 중광물의 종류, 함량, 광물 특성 및 분포를 연구하였으며, 이 결과를 바탕으로 조립질 퇴적물의 기원지를 유추하였다. 황해중앙이질대 표층 퇴적물 내에 존재하는 중광물들은 녹렴석군 광물, 각섬석군 광물, 석류석군 광물, 저어콘, 금홍석, 스핀 순으로 산출하는데, 특히 녹렴석군 광물과 각섬석군 광물의 비율이 50% 이상으로 매우 높다. 녹렴석군 광물은 녹렴석, 각섬석군 광물은 에데나이트, 석류석군 광물은 알만딘이 대부분인 것으로 판단된다. 황해중앙이질대를 $124^{\circ}E$ 기준으로 구분할 경우, 동부지역이 서부지역에 비해 녹렴석 및 풍화에 강한 (저어콘 + 금홍석)의 함량은 높고, 풍화에 약한 각섬석의 함량은 낮게 나타난다. 이는 서부지역의 퇴적물은 기원지에 가까운 곳에, 동부지역의 퇴적물은 기원지로부터 먼 곳에 퇴적되었을 것임을 시사해준다. 추후 황해로 유입되는 강 퇴적물과 해양 퇴적물에 대한 추가적인 중광물 연구가 진행되어야만 정확한 기원지와 퇴적과정에 대한 해석을 할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

토양으로부터 방출되는 $CO_2$의 양은 전 지구적 지구 탄소 순환에서 가장 큰 방출 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 특히 토양 내 미생물의 유기물질 분해 과정에 의해 방출되는 이산화탄소의 양은 토양의 탄소 저장량을 장기적으로 결정하는 요인이 되므로 그 양을 정량화 하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 토양에서 고라니의 분변이 $CO_2$ 배출에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 수행하였다. 그리고 고라니의 분변이 토양의 $CO_2$ 배출에 주는 영향과 토지의 이용에 따라 변화하는 $CO_2$ flux를 정량화 하였다. 그 결과 고라니 분변 내 많은 유기물질은 토양 미생물의 활성화에 영향을 주고 그로 인해 토양의 호흡 및 토양 내 물리 화학적인 변화가 발생되어 토양의 유기물 함량이 서로 다르게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 4개 지역의 토양(경작지, 휴경지, 버드나무 군락, 갈대습지)의 C/N ratio와 $CO_2$ flux는 분변의 유무와 통계적으로 매우 유의미한 상관 관계를 나타냈으며(P<0.01), 분변의 영향을 받은 토양의 $CO_2$ flux는 분변의 영향을 받지 않은 토양보다 2-20배 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 고라니의 분변이 토양에 주는 영향과 야생동물 분변을 이용한 토양 물질 순환 연구를 통해 육상 생태계 및 토양권의 물질 순환과 그 영향의 정도를 정량화 하였다는 점에서 큰 의의가 있는 연구이다.

The long-term linear trend of global sea-to-air dimethyl sulfide (DMS) flux was analyzed over a 16-year time span (2000~2015), based on satellite observation data. The emission rates of DMS (i.e. DMS flux) in the global ocean were estimated from sea surface DMS concentrations, which were constructed with chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentrations and mixed layer depths (MLD), and transfer velocity from sea to air, which was parameterized with sea surface wind (SSW) and sea surface temperature (SST). In general, the DMS flux in the global ocean exhibited a gradual decreasing pattern from 2000 (a total of 12.1 Tg/yr) to 2015 (10.7 Tg/yr). For the latitude band ($10^{\circ}$ interval between $0^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$), the DMS flux at the low latitude of the Northern (NH) and Southern hemisphere (SH) was significantly higher than that at the middle latitude. The seasonal mean DMS flux was highest in winter followed by in summer in both hemispheres. From the long-term analysis with the Mann-Kendall (MK) statistical test, a clear downward trend of DMS flux was predicted to be broad over the global ocean during the study period (NH: $-0.001{\sim}-0.036{\mu}mol/m^2/day\;per\;year$, SH: $-0.011{\sim}-0.051{\mu}mol/m^2/day\;per\;year$). These trend values were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for most of the latitude bands. The magnitude of the downward trend of DMS flux at the low latitude in the NH was somewhat higher than that at the middle latitude during most seasons, and vice versa for the SH. The spatio-temporal characteristics of DMS flux and its long-term trend were likely to be primarily affected not only by the SSW (high positive correlation of r = 0.687) but also in part by the SST (r = 0.685).

Asthmatics are more susceptible to fine particulate matters (PM_2.5), compared to the general population. It has been reported that indoor PM_2.5 is mainly generated by combustion of fossil fuels, meat or fish In particular, asthmatics are known to be more susceptible to indoor PM_2.5 because 65~95% of child or adult asthmatics stay inside the house. Thus, understanding the association between indoor activity patterns and variations in indoor PM_2.5 levels is important. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of hourly indoor PM_2.5 concentrations in asthmatics' homes, and to evaluate its association with pan-frying cooking activity patterns, the most common PM_2.5 emission related activity. From November 2017 to February 2018, real-time PM_2.5 concentrations were measured in the living room of each asthmatic's house (n = 35) for three weeks at 1 minute intervals. At the same time, self-reported daily activity patterns, hourly proportion (%) of cooking activities, were also recorded every hour over three weeks for each patient. In this study, we provided quantitative evidence that the distribution patterns of indoor hourly PM_2.5 concentrations were associated with indoor cooking activities, especially in the homes of adult asthmatics. In addition, we observed that PM_2.5 emitted by pan-frying could maintain even over up to 2 hour lagtime.

Purpose: To evaluate the imaging findings of desmoid tumors using various imaging modalities and to evaluate whether diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can help differentiate between desmoid and malignant tumors. Materials and Methods: The study included 27 patients with pathologically confirmed desmoid tumors. Two radiologists reviewed 23 computed tomography (CT), 12 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 8 positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans of desmoid tumors and recorded data regarding the shape, multiplicity, size, location, degree of enhancement, and presence or absence of calcification or hemorrhage. The signal intensity of masses on T1- and T2-weighted imaging and the presence or absence of whirling or band-like low signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging were recorded. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the desmoid tumors in nine patients with DWIs were compared with the ADC values of 32 malignant tumors. The maximum standardized uptake value ($SUV_{max}$) on PET-CT images was measured in 8 patients who underwent a PET-CT. Results: The mean size of the 27 tumors was 6.77 cm (range, 2.5-26 cm) and four tumors exhibited multiplicity. The desmoid tumors were classified by shape as either mass forming (n = 18), infiltrative (n = 4), or combined (n = 5). The location of the tumors was either intra-abdominal (n = 15), within the abdominal wall (n = 8) or extra-abdominal (n = 4). Among the 27 tumors, 21 showed moderate to marked enhancement and 22 showed homogeneous enhancement. Two tumors showed calcifications and one displayed hemorrhage. Eleven of the 12 MR T2-weighted images showed whirling or band-like low signal intensity areas in the mass. The mean ADC value of the desmoid tumors ($1493{\times}10^{-6}mm^2/s$) was significantly higher than the mean of the malignant soft tissue tumors ($873{\times}10^{-6}mm^2/s$, P < 0.001). On the PET-CT images, all tumors exhibited an intermediate $SUV_{max}$ (mean, 3.7; range, 2.3-4.5). Conclusion: Desmoids tumors showed homogenous, moderate to marked enhancement on CT and MRI scans and a characteristic whirling or band-like pattern on T2-weighted images. DWI can be useful for the differentiation of desmoid tumors from malignant soft tissue tumors.

The present study describe the electrical performance of amorphous T $a_2$ $O_{5-X}$ fabricated on the buffer layers Ti and Ti $O_2$. T $a_2$ $O_{5-X}$ thin films were grown on the Ti and Ti $O_2$ layers as a capacitor layer using reactive sputtering method. The X-ray pattern analysis indicated that the two as-deposited films were amorphous and the amorphous state was kept stable on the RTA(rapid thermal annealing) at even $700^{\circ}C$. Measurements of dielectric properties of the reactive sputtered T $a_2$ $O_{5-X}$ thin films fabricated in two simple MIS(metal insulator semiconductor), structures, (Cu/T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti/Si and CuT $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti $O_2$Si) show that the amorphous T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ grown on Ti showed high dielectric constant (23～39) and high leakage current density(10$^{-3}$ ～10$^{-4}$ (A/$\textrm{cm}^2$)), whereas relatively low dielectric constant (～15) and tow leakage current density(10$^{-9}$ ～10$^{-10}$ (A/$\textrm{cm}^2$)) were observed in the amorphous T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ deposited on the Ti $O_2$ layer. The electrical behaviors of the T $a_2$ $O^{5}$ thin films were attributed to the contribution of Ti- $O_2$ and the compositionally gradient Ta-Ti-0, being the low dielectric layer and high leakage current barrier. In additional, The T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti $O_2$ thin films exhibited dominant conduction mechanism contributed by the Poole-Frenkel emission at high electric field. In the case of T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ Ti $O_2$ thin films were related to the diffusion of Ta, Ti and O, followed by the creation of vacancies, in the rapid thermal treated thin films.films.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the present status of several environmental problems caused by emerging toxic substances such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and arsenic in various environmental media in Vietnam. Monitoring data reported during the 1990s demonstrated elevated contamination of DDTs in most of these compartments in Vietnam. Studies in frame of the Asia-Pacific Mussel Watch Program revealed that fish, mussels and resident birds from Vietnam contained higher concentrations of DDTs as compared to other countries in region, suggesting the role of Vietnamese environment as a significant emission source of DDT in the Southeast Asian region. The estimated dietary intakes of PCBs and DDTs for Vietnamese were relatively high among Asian developing countries, suggesting potential risk for humans posed by thesechemicals. Widespread contamination of some endocrine active compounds such as alkylphenols and phthalates was observed at various sites along the coasts of northern and middle Vietnam. The presence of significant source of bisphenol-A along Red River estuary was revealed with the concentrations comparable to those reported for developed nations. A case study on seasonal variation of alkylphenols and phthalates in surface water of river delta and estuary of north and middle Vietnam indicated the differences in distribution of these compounds between dry and rainy seasons. Higher concentrations of alkylphenols and phthalates were found in dry season in estuary; while the contrasting pattern was observed in the river delta, showing elevated residues in rainy season. This result suggests the different behavior of alkylphenols and phthalates in river delta and coastal environment. From ecotoxicological perspectives, concentrations of bis-phenol A and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalates [DEHP] in surface water from some locations in Vietnam exceeded the guideline values for Ecotoxicological Effects and the Environmental Risk Limit, respectively, suggesting potential for toxic implications on aquatic wildlife. Widespread and elevated arsenic contamination was discovered inour recent surveys in groundwater in a large area of suburban areas of Hanoi city, the capital of Vietnam. The most recent investigation in 4 villages showed about more than 50 % of groundwater samples contained As concentrations exceeding 50 g/L (the WHO and Vietnamese standard). In particular, in Son Dong villages, 58 % of samples analyzed contained As concentrations higher than 200 g/L. Good correlations were found in As concentrations in water and hair and urine of peoples in corresponding families, suggesting the chronic exposure to As by people living in As-contaminated ground water areas. In Son Dong village, As levels in hair (mean: 1.7 mg/kg dry wt) and urine (g/g creatinine) exceeding the reference values recommended by WHO, suggesting potential for human risk posed by long term accumulation of As in human body. Future studies should be focused on the time trends of POPs and EDCs in biota in Vietnam in order to predict future trend of contamination and to reveal new clues for understanding possible toxic impacts on aquatic organisms. The issues of arsenic contamination in groundwater and their chronic toxic implications on human health should be systematically investigated in the future.

본 연구에서는 지르코니아 에칭에 의한 표면변화가 지르코니아 코어와 도재 사이의 결합강도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 전단결합강도 실시하였고, 표면의 변화를 관찰하기 위한 SEM 측정, 에칭처리에 따른 지르코니아의 성분변화를 알아보기 위해 EDS 분석을 실시하였다. 그리고 구강상태에서 15~20년의 저온열화현상을 재현하기 위해 저온 열화 처리를 시행하여 전단결합강도 평가를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과가 도출되었다. 1. 에칭처리를 시행하지 않은 시편과 에칭처리를 시행한 시편의 전단결합강도를 비교할 경우 에칭한 시편의 전단결합강도가 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 에칭용액이 지르코니아코어 표면에 interlocking을 형성하여 기계적인 결합을 높여 주었을 것이라고 생각된다. 2. 전단결합강도의 결과(EZ>AEZ>NEZ>ANEZ)를 보았을 때 통계적으로는 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 저온열화처리를 하지 않고 에칭처리를 한 EZ군이 전단결합강도가 가장 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 파절 양상에서도 EZ군에서만 응집파절을 보여 가장 결합강도가 높다는 결과를 도출할 수 있다. 결론적으로 저온열화처리 여부에 관계없이 표면에칭처리를 한 시편의 전단결합강도가 큰 것으로 나타나 지르코니아 표면의 에칭처리로 인한 interlocking의 형성이 기계적인 결합을 향상시키는 요인이 되었다고 생각된다.

It has widely been observed that the effect of elevating atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations on rice productivity depends largely on soil N availabilities. However, the responses of ammonia volatilization from flooded paddy soil that is an important pathway of N loss and thus affecting fertilizer N availability to concomitant increases in atmospheric $CO_2$ and temperature has rarely been studied. In this paper, we first report the interactive effect of elevated $CO_2$ and temperature on ammonia volatilization from rice paddy soils applied with urea. Urea labeled with $^{15}N$ was used to quantitatively estimate the contribution of applied urea-N to total ammonia volatilization. This study was conducted using Temperature Gradient Chambers (TGCs) with two $CO_2$ levels [ambient $CO_2$ (AC), 383 ppmv and elevated $CO_2$ (EC), 645 ppmv] as whole-plot treatment (main treatment) and two temperature levels [ambient temperature (AT), $25.7^{\circ}C$ and elevated temperature (ET), $27.8^{\circ}C$] as split-plot treatments (sub-treatment) with triplicates. Elevated temperature increased ammonia volatilization probably due to a shift of chemical equilibrium toward $NH_3$ production via enhanced hydrolysis of urea to $NH_3$ of which rate is dependent on temperature. Meanwhile, elevated $CO_2$ decreased ammonia volatilization and that could be attributed to increased rhizosphere biomass that assimilates $NH_4^+$ otherwise being lost via volatilization. Such opposite effects of elevated temperature and $CO_2$ resulted in the accumulated amount of ammonia volatilization in the order of ACET>ACAT>ECET>ECAT. The pattern of ammonia volatilization from applied urea-$^{15}N$ as affected by treatments was very similar to that of total ammonia volatilization. Our results suggest that elevated $CO_2$ has the potential to decrease ammonia volatilization from paddy soils applied with urea, but the effect could partially be offset when air temperature rises concomitantly.
