The purpose of this study was to determine whether a single bout of aerobic exercise affects the expression level of toll-like receptor4 (TLR4), IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, and suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) expression in rat hindlimb muscles depending on fiber types. To accomplish this, thirteen 7-wk Balb/c male mice were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. The exercise protocol consisted of a single bout of treadmill exercise (inclination $10^{\circ}$, speed 17 cm/sec 10 min, 33 cm/sec 10 min, 50 cm/sec) and the animals were killed 24 hr after the exhaustion protocol. The level of TLR4, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, and SOCS-3 mRNA expression was measured by quantitative real-time PCR in soleus and plantaris muscles. A single bout of aerobic treadmill exercise increased TLR4 mRNA expression in the soleus muscle (p<0.05), whereas plantaris TLR4 mRNA expression did not change. Additionally, acute exercise led to a significant increase in IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, and SOCS-33 mRNA in the soleus muscle, while transcripts of these genes were not affected by exercise in the plantaris muscle. In conclusion, expression level of several immune-related genes such as TLR4, cytokines, and SOCS-3 is regulated by acute exercise in a fiber type specific manner.

The soft ground in the southwest coastal area composed of marine clay is greatly influenced by sediment composition, particle size distribution, particle shape, adsorption ions and pore water characteristics, tide and temperature. In addition, the geotechnical properties are very complex due to stress history, change in pore water, dissolution process and gas formation. In this study, the physical and mechanical properties of the soft ground were evaluated through field tests and laboratory tests to investigate the strength increase characteristics according to consolidation on the soft ground in the southwest coast. In addition, in order to understand the consolidation behavior of soft ground such as subsidence, pore water pressure, horizontal displacement of soil by embankment load, measuring instruments such as pore water pressuremeter, settlement gauge, inclinometer and differential settlement gauge was installed, and a piezocon penetration test was carried out step by step to confirm the increase in shear strength of the ground. Through this, it was confirmed that the shear strength of the ground is increased according to the stages of filling. In addition, by evaluating the properties of consolidation behavior, strength increase and consolidation prediction by empirical methods and theories were compared to analyze the characteristics of strength increase rate and consolidation behavior in consideration of regional characteristics.

The water quality of the Gulpo Stream flowing through Incheon, Bucheon, Seoul, and Kimpo is getting worse due to a slow flow rate and bank constructions by stream channelization as well as an inflow of pollutants from living-sewages and factory-sewages. Besides, a dry stream phenomenon caused by a lack of maintenance water upstream makes a self-purification system worse, and the water quality of the Gulpo Stream is currently at its lowest level. The accumulated sludge of the streambed is mostly formed by the deposition of particle pollutants due to the slow flow rate and an artificially straightened stream channel. This accumulated sludge adsorbs a great quantity of organic materials and heavy metals. Because of the internal contamination possibility by a re-gushing, even after the pollution source is removed, it can cause future water pollution. Without a total examination as previously recommended, it is considered difficult to accomplish practical efficiency. In conclusion, the management of periodic sediment management such as dredging would be necessary in the Gulpo Stream because sediment could be an internal pollution source of stream water under anaerobic conditions.

This study was investigated to elucidate the pesticide mobility in three different soil textures(Heongseong sandy loam; Chuncheon, loam; Taeback, silty clay loam) and four different gravel contents(0, 20, 40, 60%) of Taebaek soil using soil column. Carbofuran, which ranks the highest water solubility among 7 pesticides(carbendazim, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, dimethomorph, diniconazole and endosulfan) was defected over 87% in leachate samples within all soil types from early sampling time. Amount of 5 residual pesticides excluding carbendazim and carbofuran were ordered silty clay loam > loam > sandy loam, indicating pesticide residues are related to percentage of clay contents in soils. Comparing the amount of residual pesticides in soil column(upper, middle and lower layer), 6 pesticides apart from carbofuran were found in the range of $50{\sim}92%$ on the upper layer of silty clay loam and loam. Mobility of pesticides either in soil or leachate samples is dependant on water solubility of pesticide and clay content of soil. The results obtained from four different gravel contents of Tacback soil were similar to the results of three different soil textures. Also it was found that more the gravel contents, faster the flow velocity of leachate water. These results possibly provide an idea to select proper pesticides and to reduce soil and water contamination at alpine and sloped-land.

The current study was undertaken to verify appropriateness of muscle endurance test at three different angles ($30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$) of isometric contraction position, and to sought valid and reliable testing method that provide an alternative to sit-ups. Total 92 young and healthy subjects (68 males and 24 females) were recruited, and the following results were obtained. 1. A low correlations in males, but a high correlations in females was found when the comparisons were made between aerobic and muscle endurance capability. 2. Measuring tolerance time, by using isometric contraction was showed a significant correlation with the repetition numbers of sit-ups. 3. The highest correlation was found at 40 inclined degrees of plane, and the lowest correlation was drawn from 50 inclined degrees of plane. Based on these results, it was concluded that measuring tolerance time during maintaining an isometric contraction at 40 inclined degrees of plane is a valid and effective tool for measuring abdominal muscle endurance, and it can be used as an alternative way of sit-up, which potentially risky for inducing many back-associated injuries. Further studies need to be undertaken to determine for optimal angles, that can safely be applied for people of various age groups and physical conditions.

최근 기후변화에 따른 대응을 위해 기존 수자원 활용의 고도화 및 배수능력 증대를 위해 다양한 방안이 추진되고 있으며, 그에 따라 기존 개수로에 신규 수로를 연결하여 합류와 분류를 시키는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 특히 신규 개수로 연결을 위한 분류부 형상은 관련 설계기준, 분류유량의 규모, 해당 지점의 하상변동 경향, 지형여건, 흐름 분류시설 및 구조물의 형태(양수펌프장, 스크린이나 수문, 암거설치)와 같은 구조적 요인 등에 의해 달라지지만, 이와 관련된 연구가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 분류부 평면형상 변화에 따른 분류유량비와 흐름분리구역 분포 등에 대한 흐름특성을 분석하고 이수와 치수계획 수립 등에 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 TELEMAC-2D 모형을 이용하여 주수로 상류 유입흐름의 프루우드 수가 0.74, 0.52인 두 흐름에 대해 형상변화 폭을 주수로 폭(B)의 1B, 주수로 형상변화를 급확대, 점진적 확대 구간길이를 1B~3B로 변화시키며 분류유량비(분류수로 유입유량/상류 유입유량)와 흐름분리구역의 위치와 크기 등에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 분류부 상류 유입흐름의 프루우드 수가 0.74, 분류유량비는 0.33인 흐름은 주수로 형상변화 구간길이가 1B 일 때 0.44~0.46, 3B일 때 0.54~0.60으로 점차 분류유량비가 증가한다. 반면 상류 유입흐름의 프루우드수가 0.52, 분류유량비가 0.52인 흐름은 주수로 형상변화 구간길이가 1B일 때 0.77~0.82에서 3B일 때 0.70~0.80으로 점차 분류유량비 증가율이 감소하는 경향을 나타내게 된다. 주수로 형상변화 폭을 0.5B, 1B로 달리하여 수로 형상변화를 시킨 경우 분류유량비 증가율은 각각 135~162%, 134~176%로 나타났으며, 이는 수로 형상변화 폭보다 변화구간 길이가 더 큰 분류유량비 변화에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 흐름분리구역은 상류 유입흐름의 프루우드 수가 0.74인 경우 수로형상 변화구간과 분류수로 입구에 형성되지만, 상류유입흐름의 프루우드 수가 0.52인 경우 수로형상변화 구간과 주수로 하류에도 형성된다. 수치실험 결과 동일수로 폭 직사각형 $90^{\circ}$ 분류수로에서 분류부 평면형상의 변화에 따라 주수로 하류방향흐름의 관성력은 감소하는 반면 분류수로로 향하는 횡압력경사와 흐름분리구역 발생위치 변화로 인해 분류 수로내 통수능이 증가하여 분류유량비가 급격하게 증가하게 된다. 또한 분류부 상류 유입흐름의 관성력이 작은 경우 분류부 평면형상 변화시 주수로 하류방향에서도 흐름분리구역이 형성되고 주수로 종방향 수위가 상승함에 따라 분류흐름 계획수립 시 세심한 주의가 필요하다.

It is an urgent issue to manage and reduce non-point pollution sources for improving the water quality of stream and lakes in rural areas. In this study, in order to reduce non-point pollution sources in rural area, Gabion mattresses was proposed to provide protection of riverbanks with anaerobic and aerobic area. The utilization of this was assessed by lab scale model test and pilot plant test. After filling the inside of the gabion mattresses with aggregate, the filtration zone under anaerobic and aerobic conditions was formed to treat the contaminants. In addition, vegetation was deposited on the surfae of the gabion to prevent the inflow of soil and to promote purification by the plant. COD and nitrogen content (T-N, $NH_4{^+}$, -N, $NO_3{^-}N$) were monitored in model and field tests. The lab scale model test showed removal efficiency of 17% of TCOD, 35% of SCOD, 14% of TN, 62% of $NH_4{^+}$, -N, and 33% of $NO_3{^-}$ N. Also, pilot plant test showed removal efficiency of 24% of TCOD, 29% of SCOD, 47% of TN, 50% of $NH_4{^+}-N$, 33% of $NO_3{^-}$, N and 29% of TP.

Since the centrifugal force acts on the flow in the curved channel, a transverse water surface gradient occurs and the thalweg is biased toward the outer bank. The submerged vanes may be used to solve various engineering problems of the curved channels. In order to analyze the influence of an attack angle and the distance between the vane arrays on the river bed variation and the superelevation in a bend, movable bed hydraulic experiments were conducted in a $90^{\circ}$ curved rectangular channel of a small-size gravel bed. Installing the submerged vanes in the bend increases the maximum scour depth. But if vanes are installed in a uniform obtuse angle, the scour depth may be reduced. If the flow rate in the channel bend with vanes equals to the channel forming discharge, the location of the maximum scour depth moved to the downstream and the superelevation increased. However if the flow rate is smaller than that, the location of the maximum scour depth moved upstream and the superelevation decreased. The channel bed change and the superelevation due to the installation of the submerged vanes have been dependent on the interaction of the attack angle, the flow rate, and the distance between the arrays.

In most cases, optical images have been used as training data of DL (Deep Learning) models for object detection, recognition, identification, classification, semantic segmentation, and instance segmentation. However, properties of 3D objects in the real-world could not be fully explored with 2D images. One of the major sources of the 3D geospatial information is DSM (Digital Surface Model). In this matter, characteristic information derived from DSM would be effective to analyze 3D terrain features. Especially, man-made objects such as buildings having geometrically unique shape could be described by geometric elements that are obtained from 3D geospatial data. The background and motivation of this paper were drawn from concept of the intrinsic image that is involved in high-level visual information processing. This paper aims to extract buildings after classifying terrain features by training DL model with DSM-derived information including slope, aspect, and SRI (Shaded Relief Image). The experiments were carried out using DSM and label dataset provided by ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) for CNN-based SegNet model. In particular, experiments focus on combining multi-source information to improve training performance and synergistic effect of the DL model. The results demonstrate that buildings were effectively classified and extracted by the proposed approach.
