검정현미에 내포한 특이한 향기성분을 토대로 수입산 또는 국내산인지의 여부를 전자코로 분석하였다. 주성분 분석 결과 전반적으로 수입산과 국내산의 판별이 뚜렷하게 구별 가능하였다. 또한 인공신경망 분석 프로그램을 이용하여 학습시켜 원산지를 모르는 시료를 분석한 결과 국내산 검정현미가 수입산인지 국내산인지를 구별할 수 있었다. E-Nose 5000을 이용한 결과는 69종의 국내산 검정현미를 국내산으로 판별한 경우가 64종으로 92.75%이었고, 13종의 수입산 검정현미를 수입산으로 판별한 경우는 11종으로 92.31%의 높을 확률로 metal oxide sensor로만 구성된 전자코의 판별정도보다 더 정확하게 구별할 수 있었다.

The objectives of this research were to determine mean and maximum tolerance ranges of Carassius auratus ($C_a$) and Cyprinus carpio ($C_c$) populations on various physico-chemical parameters and ecological indicator metrics. Little is known about chemical tolerance ranges of the two species, even though these species are widely distributed species in aquatic ecosystems. Maximum tolerance ranges of $C_a$-population to total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were $20.3mgL^{-1}$ and $2.0mgL^{-1}$, respectively. Optimal ranges of TN and TP in the $C_a$-population were $1.7-5.0mgL^{-1}$ and $0.06-0.30mgL^{-1}$, respectively. Such nutrient regimes of the $C_a$-population were evaluated as hypereutrophy, indicating high tolerance limits. The $C_c$-population had similar ecological characteristics to $C_a$-population, but the mean tolerance ranges of TN, TP, BOD, and COD were significantly (p < 0.05) greater than the $C_a$-population. Ecological patterns of trophic composition and tolerance guilds in the $C_a$-population were similar to those of the $C_c$-population. The model value of Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) of the habitat where C. auratus and C. carpio co-occurred averaged $15.0{\pm}4.3$ and $12.9{\pm}3.6$, respectively. Based on the modified criteria of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (Klemm et al. 1993), it indicated poor ecological health of both species. These results suggest that both species are highly tolerant to chemical and physical habitat conditions of waterbodies, and that the chemical tolerance range of $C_c$-population was higher than $C_a$-population.

구하도는 예전에 물이 흘렀던 흔적을 말하며 우리나라는 1960년대 하천정비사업으로 인해 인위적으로 생성된 습지형 구하도가 대부분이다. 습지형 구하도는 홍수조절을 하며, 생물서식의 보고가 되고, 인간에게 심미적 가치를 주는 등 중요한 생태계이다. 하지만 폐천부지로 분류되어 관리가 소홀하고 그 흔적조차 사라지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 습지형 구하도의 훼손정도를 명확히 파악하고 적절한 관리 및 투자의 근거자료를 마련하기 위해 습지형 구하도의 기능을 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다. 국내 습지형 구하도 환경에 적합한 4가지 속성(자연성, 서식처, 친수성, 수질)과 21개의 지표를 선정하였으며, 낙동강의 두 개 지점에 적용해 본 결과 지점1은 중 장기적으로 보호 또는 개선이 필요한 지역으로 나타났으며, 지점2는 우선보호지역으로 나타났다. 이 평가법은 국내에 방치되어 있는 습지형 구하도의 상황에 맞는 적절한 관리에 도움을 줄 것이며, 향후 국가하천사업시 하도에 최적화된 평가툴로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Swertia chirata is an endangered gentian species that prefers to grow at higher altitudes. This ethnomedicinal herb is known primarily for its bitter taste caused by the presence of important phytochemicals that are directly associated with human health benefits. Due to a continuous loss of habitat and inherent problems of seed viability and seed germination, alternative strategies for propagation and conservation are urgently required to prevent the possible extinction of this species. We have formulated a reproducible protocol for the rapid propagation and conservation of this plant using leaves taken from in vitro shoot cultures. Direct induction of more than seven shoot buds per explant was achieved for the first time when the explants were placed on MS medium supplemented with $2.22{\mu}M$ N-6-benzyladenine, $11.6{\mu}M$ kinetin, and $0.5{\mu}M$ ${\alpha}-naphthalene$ acetic acid. Direct organogenesis was noted exclusively from the adaxial surface of the basal segments of leaves. Leaves closer to the apical meristem were more responsive than those farther away from the meristem. Plants raised through direct organogenesis were evaluated for their clonal fidelity by chromosomal analysis and DNA fingerprinting. Complete plants were successfully transferred to the field condition and produced viable seeds. Given the enormous potential of this age-old medicinal plant in terms of potential health-benefitting drugs, this protocol can be used for commercial propagation purposes and to initiate future genetic improvement studies.

Regional variation in the fatty acid content of shellfish was investigated on 5 species of Korean shellfish including murex shell, ark shell, jack-knife clam, orient hard clam, and little neck clam that were originated from 2 geographically different regions in Korea (Region 1: South coast, $34-35^{\circ}N$, $127-129^{\circ}E$; Region 2: West coast, $36-38^{\circ}N$, $126-127^{\circ}E$). Significant regional difference in total fatty acids content was observed in murex shell and little neck clam (p<0.01), but not in the other species of shellfish. The contents of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids including n-3 and n-6 fatty acids were appreciably higher in murex shell from Region 2 and in little neck clam from Region 1 than the shellfish originated from their counterpart areas (p<0.05). Nevertheless, relative percentages of the fatty acids remained constant within same species regardless of geographic regions or species. Considering the facts of that the fish/shellfish are unique sources of n-3 fatty acids and a little neck clam is the most-consumed shellfish in Korea, n-3 fatty acids intake might vary with the habitat of the shellfish that Koreans consume.

Employers are realizing that workplaces have an immense impact on productivity. And, because people typically represent about 90% of a company's costs, even a slight improvement in productivity hits the bottom-line in a very big way. The focus is shifting away from saving money by reducing space needs or cutting energy requirements, and moving toward making the workplace friendlier and healthier. What is a healthy workplace, exactly? The answer should be clear by now. Mountains of research have expounded on this very topic, and then news outlets cover the latest discoveres ad infinitum. The problem is, research is rather dense, while the news isn't comprehensive. Office managers trying to improve workplace wellness want neither a 55-page report nor a half dozen articles to convince their landlord that their space can do better. Recognizing this gap, Harvard researchers have released a concise-yet-complete list of healthy building features. Here, we're sharing these nine features with a few insights of our own on the value of being healthy and productive. Find out: ${\bullet}$ What makes a healthy building and why is it so important ${\bullet}$ How to improve the health of your own office ${\bullet}$ What happens for your people and your bottom line when you make health a priority.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the species composition of fish and benthic macroinvertebrates in the Namgang Dam reservoir and assess the reservoir's ecological quality. Methods: Fish and benthic macroinvertebrates were seasonally sampled around the Namgang Dam reservoir from October 2013 to September 2014. Results: A total of 970 fish specimens were collected for this survey, including 4 orders, 14 families, and 25 species. Fourteen endemic species were observed, including Coreoleuciscus splendidus. The most observed among the endemic species caught was Zacco koreanus (14.4%). A total of 9,093 benthic macroinvertebrates, including 51 families and 92 species, were also found. The predominant species in the study area was Chironomidae sp. 1. Diplonychus esakii, whose habitat is distribution-specific as designated by the Korean National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER), were also observed. A total of 386 specimens were collected of the invasive alien species Lepomis macrochirus, and the percentage of Lepomis macrochirus and Micropterus salmoides made up 42.0% of all specimens collected in the area. Conclusion: The mean ecological score of the benthic macroinvertebrate community (ESB) ranged between 24 and 40, which indicates that the environmental condition of the target sites is somewhat poor. Based on the results of this research, building habitats for benthic macroinvertebrates should be considered, and extermination plans for invasive alien fish species should be prepared.

Monitoring civil structures periodically is necessary for ensuring the fitness of the structures. Cracks on inner and outer surfaces of the building plays a vital role in indicating the health of the building. Conventionally, human visual inspection techniques were carried up to human reachable altitudes. Monitoring of high rise infrastructures cannot be done using this primitive method. Also, there is a necessity for more accurate prediction of cracks on building surfaces for ensuring the health and safety of the building. The proposed research focused on developing an efficient crack classification model using Transfer Learning enabled EfficientNet (TL-EN) architecture. Though many other pre-trained models were available for crack classification, they rely on more number of training parameters for better accuracy. The TL-EN model attained an accuracy of 0.99 with less number of parameters on large dataset. A bench marked METU dataset with 40000 images were used to test and validate the proposed model. The surfaces of high rise buildings were investigated using vision enabled Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV). These UAV is fabricated with TL-EN model schema for capturing and analyzing the real time streaming video of building surfaces.

본 연구는 탐진강 하구역 생물군집의 군집 동태 및 분포 조건을 통해 기수지역 생태계 관리의 기초정보를 제공하기 위해 각 분류군별 전문가들이 정밀 조사한 결과를 분석하였다. 식생을 포함한 총 11개 생물 분류군에 대한 생물종의 다양성, 풍부성, 상관관계 및 생태적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 식생은 하천의 물리적 환경과 염도 등 서식처 환경조건에 따라 7개 상관형에 18개 단위식생의 분포가 확인 되었다. 생물종 다양성은 멸종위기야생생물 9분류군을 포함해 총 1,125개 분류군이 확인되었다. 각 분류군별 종조성과 분포 특성은 넓은 구간에 걸쳐 형성되는 자연성 높은 기수역의 하구역 특성을 잘 반영하고 있었다. 특히, 하천을 중심으로 유속과 염도, 토성 등 기반환경 차이에 따른 종다양성과 그 분포가 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 일부구간에 분포하는 물막이보, 인공제방과 같은 인위적 교란요소에도 불구하고 현재의 환경조건 하에서 생물종의 다양성과 그 분포는 전반적으로 자연성 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 물막이보, 간척, 주기적인 제방관리, 경작지 확장 등에 의한 야생생물의 서식처 소실과 축소, 생태계 연결성 단절 등은 지역 생태계의 다양성과 건강성을 위협하는 주요 요인으로 지목되었다. 탐진강 하구역의 생물 분포 현황과 그 특성을 규명하는 최초의 정밀조사로서 탐진강을 비롯한 하구역에 대한 각종 개발압력 및 훼손 위기에 대응 할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

기수갈고둥의 잠재적 서식지를 추정하고, 기수갈고둥의 존재 여부에 따라 저서성 거대무척추동물의 군집 구조를 확인하고자 했다. 기수갈고둥의 분포지는 환경부에서 수행 중인 "하구 수생태계 현황 조사 및 건강성 평가" 자료 중 2016년부터 2018년까지의 자료를 이용했다. 점유 모델은 기수갈고둥의 잠재적 서식지를 추정하기 위해 사용되었으며 저서성 거대무척추동물의 군집 구조를 확인하기 위해 4개의 다양성 지수가 사용되었다. 기수갈고둥은 남해안 일대와 동해안 일부 지역에서 발견되었으며, 이러한 양상은 기존 연구와 일치했다. 추가로 점유 모델 적용 결과 기수갈고둥의 잠재적 서식지가 서해안 일부 지역에 나타날 수 있음을 예측했다. 저서성 거대무척추동물의 군집 구조는 기수갈고둥이 채집되지 않은 지역에 비해 기수갈고둥이 채집된 지역에서 상대적으로 높았다. 따라서 제한된 지역에 서식하는 기수갈고둥을 보전할 때 점유 모델을 고려할 수 있으며, 기수갈고둥은 기수환경을 대표할 수 있는 생물로서 지표종으로 활용될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.
