A novel pre-equalization method for terrestrial DTV transmitters is presented. A pre-equalizer has been used in transmitters to correct group delay and amplitude distortions caused by a channel filter. In the proposed pre-equalizer, an equation-error adaptive IIR filtering scheme is adopted unlike the conventional pre-equalization using FIR filtering schemes. The pole-zero modelling property of IIR filters improves the signal-to-noise ratio and may deal with diverse linear distortions existing in DTV transmitters as well as the channel filter distortion. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR pre-equalizer performs better than the FIR pre-equalizer in terms of the residual mean-square error.

일반적으로 자갈하천의 하상에는 여울, 소의 연쇄 구조(Riffle-pool sequences)가 발생한다. 여울은 수심이 얕아 유속이 빠른 부분이고 소는 수심이 깊어 유속이 느린 부분에 해당한다. 여울과 소의 연쇄구조는 모래하천에서는 보이지 않는데, 여울에서는 빠른 유속으로 인하여 하상의 조립화가 진행되며, 반대로 소에서는 하상이 세립토로 구성된다. 그리고 여울은 하도의 경사에 따라 발생하며, 유속의 빠름과 느림에 따라 크게 평여울과 급여울로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구의 대상하천인 양양 남대천은 국내에서는 보기 드물게 개발이 거의 되어있지 않으며 조사대상 구간인 어성전(법수치) 계곡을 포함한 양양 남대천 상류 약 0.4 km은 산지하천 구간으로 비교적 자연하천의 상태를 유지하고 있다. 본 연구는 자갈하천의 구간에서 연속적으로 발생하는 여울, 소를 대상으로 하상경사, 하상재료, 수심, 유속 등 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 이 구간에서의 나타난 여울 구간은 11개소로 구분할 수 있으며, 급여울이 시작되는 구간에서부터 여울과 소는 반복적인 형태로 나타났다. 하상경사는 평여울 구간에서 0.0011-0.0057, 급여울 구간에서 0.0143-0.0201로 나타났다. 하상재료는 $D_{50}$의 경우 평여울 구간에서 3.66-4.63 mm, 급여울 구간에서 3.61-4.63 mm로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구는 자연하천이 갖는 여울, 소 연쇄구조의 물리적 특성을 이해하고, 자연형 여울, 소를 조성하거나 복원 시 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

최근 이상기후로 인해 단시간에 다량의 강우가 내리는 현상이 발생하고 있으며, 이는 급경사면의 지반을 포화시켜 붕괴에 이르게 하여 유수와 붕괴된 토사가 계곡을 따라 흐르는 토석류 재해로 이어진다. 토석류는 빠른 속도로 유하하여 인명과 주거 및 도로 등의 시설에 피해를 발생시킨다. 토석류를 해석하기 위한 연구방법에는 피해지역의 현장조사와 모형실험을 이용하는 방법, 수치모형을 이용하는 방법 등이 있다. 현장조사와 모형실험에는 고가의 장비와 많은 인력 및 비용이 소요되어 수치모형을 이용한 연구가 주로 이뤄지고 있으며, 피해지역의 건물, 도로 등의 시설물을 고려한 지형을 제작하여 토석류 수치모형에 적용한 연구도 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 태풍 미탁의 영향으로 시간당 최대 110mm/hr, 누적강수량 487mm로 인해 토석류 재해가 발생한 강원도 삼척시 원덕읍을 연구대상지로 선정하였으며, 토석류 해석 시 침식과 퇴적작용을 고려할 수 있는 Hyper KANAKO 모형을 적용하였다. 토석류 수치모의 시 건물의 유무를 고려하여 지형자료를 구축하고 Hyper KANAKO 모형을 적용하였다. 건물이 미고려된 지형에서는 실제 토석류가 이동한 거리와 피해면적에 비해 과다하게 모의 되는 특징이 나타났으나, 건물이 고려된 지형에서는 실제 피해와 유사한 이동거리, 유동심 및 피해면적을 나타내었다. 이는 토석류 발생 위험지역에 대한 모의 시 건물을 고려함으로써 피해범위와 규모를 건물 미고려시 보다 정확하게 예측할 수 있어 토석류 저감계획 수립 및 피해지 분석시 활용성이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of erosion control works on the stream ecosystem in a mountain torrential stream. The species composition of benthic macroinvertebrates and biological water quality were investigated before and after construction of erosion control works at 5 sites. The total number of benthic macroinvertebrates before construction was 3,086 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 11 orders, 22 families, and 25 species, but after construction it has decreased to 1,208 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 10 orders, 17 families, and 19 species. Especially, the diversity, richness, and evenness indices, which were calculated based on existing number of biological species, have decreased or not produced at the erosion control sites, where biological species were not found or the minimum number of species were found. The results of community analysis of benthic macroinvertebrates and ESB(Ecological Score of Benthic macroinvertebrate community) indicated that the environmental qualities of the stream based on saprobity, environmental condition, and water quality decreased after the construction at all sites: before construction, the top of the stream was satisfactory and some satisfactory, the middle was some defectiveness, and the lower was defectiveness and very defectiveness; after construction, all parts of the stream except some parts of the top were very defectiveness. Moreover, the water quality of torrential stream was rated between I to III before construction, but after construction, it declined to $IV{\sim}V$ except control. The habitat damage of benthic macro invertebrates occurred at all investigation sites after the construction of erosion control works led to reduction of the number of biological species and water quality deterioration. The results reported in this study were collected directly after the construction of erosion control works. Therefore, additional studies are needed to further explore the effect of disaster-prevention of erosion control works and the recovery process of stream ecosystem through long term monitoring.

Electrical resistivity surveys were conducted at areas of abandoned landfills in Cheonan and Wonju. Geology and extent of leachate migration around the landfills were evaluated with collected resistivity data by 2-D and 3-D resistivity inverse modeling. The Cheonan landfill is located above the paddy fields and the resistivity survey lines were crossed to examine possible pollution at the paddy fields by leakage of the landfill leachate. In Wonju, the landfill and the downgradient paddy fields are divided by a concrete barrier wall. At the bottom of the landfill, there is a leachate settlement system, which has not been in operation. To evaluate leachate leakage into the paddy fields, a total of 4 survey lines were used. According to the resistivity survey results, the landfill leachate in Cheonan appeared to be restricted only within the interior of the landfill, not to migrate into the subsurface of the paddy fields. These results are well consistent with electrical conductivity values of groundwaters obtained from a periodic analysis of water qualities. In Wonju, however, it was inferred that the leachate emanating from the landfill migrated beneath the abandoned leachate settlement system and the leachate would reach the downgradient paddy fields. Low resistivity area was observed in the old reservoir area and it appeared to be derived from convergence of groundwater flows from the surrounding valley and the moist wet land. In addition, groundwater flow into the paddy fields occurs beneath the old reservoir embankment at depths of $7{\sim}8m$. This paper reports details of the resistivity surveys for the uncontrolled landfills.

Oegogae wetland is sub-alpine wetland which is formed in piedmont area in Jirisan National Park. Apparently Oegogae wetland seems to be well-protected wetland. Most alpine wetlands are located in the summit area, but Oegogae wetland is located in piedmont area which is transitional zone between the steep slope and relatively flat valley bottom. Oegogae wetland is active in terms of sedimentation and exceeds 1m in depth. Penetration tests show that composing material is soft such as peat and organic-rich sediment. Basal rock of the basin is gneiss and gneissic schist in general, which is good for the formation of wetland because those rocks are easy to form low permeability layer. Baseflow from the wetland takes control of the most of stream flow during the wet season and this is especially true during the dry season. Precipitation during the wet season increases water content and base flow from the wetland.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of spatial characteristics, such as land cover and topography, on heat wave days from the city of Milyang, which has recently drawn attention for its heat wave problems. The number of heat wave days was calculated utilizing RCP-based South Korea climate data from 2000 to 2010. Land cover types were reclassified into urban area, agricultural area, forest area, water, and grassland using 2000, 2005, and 2010 land cover data constructed by the Ministry of Environment. Topographical features were analyzed by topographic position index (TPI) using a digital elevation model (DEM) with 30 m spatial resolution. The results show that the number of heat wave days was 31.4 days in 2000, which was the highest, followed by 26.9 days in 2008, 24.2 days in 2001, and 24.0 days in 2010. The heat wave distribution was relatively higher in agricultural areas, valleys, and rural areas. The topography of Milyang contains more mountainous slope (51.6%) than flat (19.7%), while large-scale valleys (12.2%) are distributed across some of the western region. Correlation analysis between heat wave and spatial characteristics showed that the correlation between forest area land cover and number of heat wave days was negative (-0.109), indicating that heat wave can be mitigated. Topographically, flat areas and heat wave showed a positive correlation (0.305). These results provide important insights for urban planning and environmental management for understanding the impact of land development and topographic change on heat wave.

This study was written about the actual vegetation map by researchig current vegetation and on-site vegetation in the Deogyusan National Park. Current vegetation patterns were classified into 42 types according to correlation. And Quercus mongolica forest was 39.08% out of the total forest vegetation, and was dispersed the most widely. Next were Q. variabilis, Pinus densiflora, and Fraxinus mandshurica forests in order, so that the forests of Deogyusan are different from those of another national parks in that F. mandshurica forest is more widely dispersed. Forest vegetation of Deogyusan national park is broadly classified into three types: deciduous broad-leaved forest (Quercus forest and valley forest), coniferous forest(P. densiflora forest), and sub-alpine forest(Taxus cuspidata forest, Abies koreana, Rhododendron schlippenbachii shrub-forest, and prairie). Distribution of DBH of Q. mongolica and Q. variabillis had a higher frequency of young individuals and middle individuals, Q. serrata and Carpinus laxiflora had a higher frequency of young individuals, suggesting a continuous domination of these species over the other species for the time being. In contrast, F. mandshurica appeared limited to the valley of the sheet and a higher frequency of young individuals, suggesting a continuous domination of these species the development of a climax forest terrain. P. densiflora, Betula davurica, Cornus controversa, B. costata, A. koreana and T. cuspidata had a formality distribution, suggesting a continuous domination of these species over the other species for the time being.

In order to determine the epidemiological pattern of the Paragonimus westermani, the infestation rates for the cercarial and metacer-carial larvae of digenetic trematodes in the snail and crayfish hosts, and the prevalence of Paragonimus westermani among the residents in the vicinity of the stream Namdae, Wyangpi, and Kwang, in the Ulchin county, Kyungpook Province were studied from March to October in 1984. The population density of the snails per square meter of the habitats ranged from 5 to 25, with an average of 15. Among the seven habitats, one, Ducheon, had snails infested with the cercariae of Paragonimus westermani, and the proportion of infested snails was very low, the average being 0.152 per thousand. Of six hundred and four crayfish examined, 113 or 18.7 per cent harboured the encysted larvae of Paragonimus westermani. A high infestation rate for the metacercariae in the crayfish was found in two habitats; 39.0 per cent in the Ducheon and 21. 6 per cent m the Sokwang. The prevalence of Paragonimus westermani among the residents in Ulchin county was relatively high, 25.8 per cent by the Paragonimus intradermal tests, and the difference in the rate of infection between males and females was found to be significant (t>2). The results obtained in this study indicate that endemic foci of Paragonimus westermani exist in Ulchin county and the prevalence of this lung fluke among the residents is relatively high.
