A total of 167 peculiar haplotypes confirmed from 28 cpSR variants that were observed in 19 populations of Japanese red pine in Korea through cpSSR marker analysis. Thirteen individuals that showed identical haplotype dispersed evenly in 10 populations, and the average number of effective haplotype within population was 13.37. Estimate of genetic diversity (He) was 0.987 on the basis of cpSSR haplotype variants that was equivalent to or higher than the estimates reported in other studies on some forest tree species. Estimation of genetic diversity (S.I.) on the basis of cpSSR variants composing each haplotype revealed the highest estimate of 1.109 for the population of Gangwon-Yeongwol and the lowest estimate of 0.411 for the population of Gyeongbuk Mungyeong with the average of 0.887. Most of observed cpSSR variants appeared to exist commonly in 19 populations (97.62%), and genetic differentiation of cpSSR variants among populations was turned out to be weak (${\Phi}_{ST}=0.024$). Relatively fast rate of mutation of cpSSR marker might be a major cause for such weak population differentiation. There was no identical haplotype shared between 39 population pairs of 173 pair-wise population pairs. Estimation of genetic distance among 19 populations on the basis of population pairs was also impossible, that might be resulted from restricted migration among 19 populations. Considering the observed distribution patterns of cpSSR variants in addition to the previous studies on I-SSR variants, informations on the present geographic location and genetic status of populations should be considered together for effective sustainable management of the genetic resources of Japanese red pine in Korea.

오염물질은 배출원의 형태에 따라 점오염물질과 비점오염물질로 구분하고 있고 점오염물질은 생활하수, 산업폐수, 축산폐수, 환경기초시설 방류수 등으로 발생원이 명확하고 수집하여 처리 및 관리가 용이하나 비점오염물질은 배출위치가 명확하지 않으며, 강우 시 일시적으로 대량 배출되는 특징을 가진 농경지, 도로, 대지, 임야 등에서 배출되는 오염물질을 말한다. 우리나라에서 비점오염은 전체 수질오염의 42~67%(2003년)를 차지하는 것으로 나타났고, 2015년에는 전체 수질오염의 65~75%에 이를 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이 중 농업 비점오염원은 총 수질 오염량의 30%이상을 차지할 것으로 추정하고 있으나 이를 저감하기 위한 최적관리방법의 효과검증에 관한 연구는 아직 미미한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농경지 중 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염을 저감하기 위한 기법으로 다양한 규모와 형태의 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구를 설치하여 밭 비점오염에 대한 저감효과를 평가하고 제어대책을 개발하여 최적관리기법을 제시하고 이에 대한 매뉴얼을 개발하기 위한 기초연구를 실시하려 한다. Silt Fence는 주로 건설공사현장에서 홍수유출 발생 시 인접한 하천 및 호소 등으로 유사 및 오염물질이 유입되는 것을 방지하기 위해 임시적으로 설치하는 시설로 합성 직물 필터를 나무나 금속 막대로 연결하여 등고선 방향으로 설치하는 것으로 대상 지역의 토양이 교란되기 전에 그 지역 아래쪽에 설치한다. 식생밭두렁은 밭의 이랑의 길이가 길어질수록 강우 시 빗물이 하단에 이를 때 늘어난 유량과 빠른 유속으로 토양침식이 가중되는데, 이때 30~35m간격으로 식생밭두렁을 설치하게 되면 상부와 하부의 침식정도가 유사한 경향을 보여 식생밭두렁을 설치하지 않은 지역에 비해 토양의 침식정도가 작게 나타나게 된다. 이러한 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구의 밭 비점오염의 저감효과 평가 및 제어대책 개발을 위한 기초 실험을 수행하기 위해 경상남도 사천시 용현면 선진리 일대에 시험포장을 조성 하였으며, 시험포장내에 6개의 Plot을 만들어 하단부에 포장에서의 유출수의 유량을 측정하기 위해 플룸을 설치하였고 실내실험을 통해 플룸의 수위-유량관계 곡선을 작성하였다. 포장의 토양특성을 판별하기 위해 Plot별로 토양시료를 채취하여 특성을 분석 한 결과 6개 Plot모두 모래함량이 많은 점토질 사질토로 분류되었다. 향후 강우 시 시험포장에서 발생하는 유출수의 수질을 분석하고 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구의 오염물질 저감효과를 분석하여 제어대책을 개발하게 되면 농업수자원확보를 위한 관리방안 선정을 위한 정책수립에 활용될 수 있으며 비점오염 배출을 최소화시켜 수질의 개선에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 우리나라 농업에 적합한 최적영농관리기술을 개발 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In recent years, as frequency and intensity of severe weather disasters such as flash flood have been increasing, providing accurate and prompt information to the public is very important and needs of user-friendly monitoring/warning system are growing. This paper introduces a method that re-produces radar observations as multimedia contents and applies reproduced data to mesh-up services. In addition, a accurate GIS matching technique to help to track the exact location going on serious atmospheric phenomena is presented. The proposed method create multimedia contents having structures such as two dimensional images, vector graphics or three dimensional volume data by re-producing various radar variables obtained from a weather radar. After then, the multimedia formatted weather radar data are matched with various detailed raster or vector GIS map platform. Results of simulation test with various scenarios indicate that the display system based on the proposed method can support for users to figure out easily and intuitively routes and degrees of risk of severe weather. We expect that this technique can also help for emergency manager to interpret radar observations properly and to forecast meteorological disasters more effectively.

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS), which is the core technique for the location based service, adopts the direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) as its modulation method. The success of a DS/SS system depends on the synchronization between the received and locally generated pseudo noise (PN) signals. As a step in the synchronization process, the tacking scheme performs fine adjustment to bring the phase difference between the two PN signals to zero. The most widely used tracking scheme is the delay locked loop with early minus late discriminator (EL-DLL). In the ideal case, the EL-DLL is the best estimator among various DLL. However, in the band-limited multipath environment, the EL-DLL has tracking bias. In this paper, the timing offset range of correlation function is divided into advanced offset range (AOR) and delayed offset range (DOR) centering around the correct synchronization time point. The tracking bias results from the following two reasons: symmetry distortion between correlation values in AOR and DOR, and mismatch between the time point corresponding to the maximum correlation value and the synchronization time point. The former and latter are named as the type I and type II tracking bias, respectively. In this paper, when the receiver has finite bandwidth in the presence of multipath signals, it is shown that the type II tracking bias becomes a more dominant error factor than the type I tracking bias, and the correlation values in AOR are not almost changed. Exploiting these characteristics, we propose a novel tracking bias mitigation scheme and demonstrate that the tracking accuracy of the proposed scheme is higher than that of the conventional scheme, both in the presence and absence of noise.

This paper attempts to examine how Maryland's Priority Funding Area (PFA) designation and incentive program has influenced the location of infrastructure investment. Is Maryland's PFA program reducing sprawl? In order to answer this question, data on the water and sewer infrastructure investments between 1997 and 2003 are collected from each county in the state. Empirical works are composed of two parts. The first part of the empirical analysis examines the pattern of water and sewer investment that has gone in and outside the PFAs between 1997 and 2003 at the county level. The second part of the empirical study shows at a county level the conditions that influence decisions to go in and outside the PFA. Regression models with various specifications are used for the analysis. The findings reveal that state fund has worked as designed. The coefficients of state fund in all estimations are significant and have expected signs implying that a county with more state fund tends to invest more in PFA as less outside.

Implantation of blastocyst into the uterine endometrium is established by the existence of histologically and functionally prepared uterine endometrium. Doc-1, an oral cancer suppressor gene, is expressed under the control of steroid hormones and has been suggested as a proliferation regulator of endometrial cells. However, the role is not much clear and in this study we examined the expression modulation of Doc-1 in decidualizing cells in vitro. In vitro decidualization was performed in endometrial stroma cells using progesterone and estrogen. Until 24 hr after decidual induction the proliferation of stroma cell was significantly increased but decreased after then. On the other hand, most of the cells differentiated into decidual cell after 48 hr of induction. The Doc-1 protein was co-localized in a specific deciudal cells and colocalization rate was increased in a parallel manner with the induction time. Based on these results, it is suggested that Doc-1 expression is under the control of both steroid hormones and decidual signals, and Doc-1 protein is involved in suppression of the proliferation of decidualizing cells.

Fonualei Rift and Spreading Center(FRSC) and Mangatolu Triple function(MTJ) caldera are located in northeastern part of Lau basin which is the active back-arc basin. Deep-tow and surface-tow magnetic surveys are carried out in FRSC. In deep-tow magnetic survey, to compensate for influence of uneven distance between bathymetry and sensor height, magnetic anomaly is continued upward to a level plane by using the Guspi method. We calculate crustal magnetization using Parker and Huestis's inversion algorithm, and try to find the hydrothermal vent and understand the structure of ocean floor crust. The result of deep-tow magnetic survey at FRSC showed that Central Anomaly Magnetization High(CAMH) recorded the max value of 4.5 A/m which is associated with active ridge. The direction of SSW-NNE corresponds with the direction of the principal spreading ridge in Lau basin. The low crustal magnetizaton$(174^{\circ}35.1'W,\;16^{\circ}38.4'S)$ of -4.0 A/m is supposed to correlate with submarine hydrothermal vent. Surface-tow magnetic data were collected in MTJ caldera$(174^{\circ}00'W,\;15^{\circ}20'S)$. The prevailing SSW-NNE direction of collapsing walls and the presence of CAMH at the center of caldera strongly indicate the existence of active spreading ridge in ancient times.

To achieve mine development, a large amount of data concerned with the geological structure and the ore body had to be investigated and collected through geological survey, drilling and geophysical explorations. In most previous cases, however, the data were usually analyzed two dimensionally and those results showed some limits because of their 2D presentation. Those 2D maps such as geological plane sections or longitudinal sections cause lots of difficulties in understanding the complex geological structure or the feature of ore body in a spatial way. In this study, research area was set on the abandoned Yangyang iron mine in Korea and the Sugaeng ore body within the mine was selected as the research target to design a mine haulage system for reopening. A 3D mine model of this area was tried to be constructed using a 3D modelling software, GEMS. An accurate 3D model including the ore body, the geological structure, the old underground mine drifts and the new mine drifts was constructed under the purpose of reopening of the abandoned iron mine. Especially, mine design for trackless haulage system was conducted. New inclines and drifts were planned and modelled 3 dimensionally considering the utilization of old drifts and shaft. In addition to the 3D modelling, geostatistical technique was adopted to generate a spatial distribution of the ore grade and the rock physical properties. 3D model would be able to contribute in solving problems such as evaluating ore reserves, planning the mine development and additional explorations and changing the development plans, etc.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the variation of probability flood according to the flow regulation by multi-purpose dams (Soyang and Chungju) in the Han-river basin, Korea. SWAT-K (Soil and Water Assessment Tool-Korea) was used in order to generate regulated and unregulated daily streamflows upstream of Paldang dam. Simulated flow regulated by the Soyang and Chungju dams was calibrated by comparison with the observed inflow data at Paldang reservoir. Generally the ratio of flood flows to daily streamflows is known to decrease with drainage area in a watershed. Regulated and unregulated flood flows were obtained from the relationship between flood flows and daily streamflows. Extreme Type-I distribution was applied for flood frequency analysis and L-moment method was used for parameter estimation. This is a novel approach capable of understanding the variation in flood frequency with dam operation for the relatively large watershed scale, and this will helps improve the applicability of daily stream flow data for use in flood control as well as in water utilization.

Variability of soil characteristics and purity were statistically summarized within mapping units and estimates were given for sample sizes required to reach predetermined levels of accuracy in mountain-foot slope soils. Total variances within mapped soil series (expressed as CV): 12-44% for pH, CEC, and particle size distribution was relatively unaffected and 56-196% for OM, ext.-cations, and available $P_2O_5$, affected by management. Means of some chemical properties were estimated on the assumption of lognormal distribution. These soils were correctly classified with regard to order at 52.2%, to great group 53.7%, and to series 39.7%. respectively. Approximate sample sizes required to detect the difference of 10 and 20% of the true mean with 0.95 confidence level were presented.
