This study aimed to investigate the growth and physiological characters of Liriodendron tulipifera seedlings in responses to two different levels of elevated air temperature and $CO_2$ concentration. The seedlings were grown in environment-controlled growth chambers with two combinations of air temperature and $CO_2$ conditions: (1) $22^{\circ}C$ + ambient $CO_2$ $380{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$ and (2) $27^{\circ}C$ + $770{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$. Physiological characters such as growth, photosynthesis, and water use efficiency, were monitored for 85 days. The seedlings under the elevated treatment showed a greater amount of growth in tree height, compared with those under the control. Regarding the characteristics of assimilatory organs, the elevated treatment resulted in a greater amount of total leaf area, leaf unfolding, and dry weight per leaf area. No significant differences were found in photosynthesis capacity between the two treatments. The increase in water use efficiency with increased intercellular $CO_2$ partial pressure appeared overall lower in the seedling under the elevated treatment, compared with those under the control. The total leaf area of the seedlings under the elevated treatment was larger than that under the control, indicating a higher amount of photosynthesis. In addition, an increase of root growth was noted under the elevated treatment. A resistance mechanism of water stress may be attributed to a higher amount of organ growth as well as the tree height under the elevated treatment than the control.

Cities are highly susceptible to disasters due to concentration of population and infrastructure and intensive land use, and there are various factors that affect vulnerability according to regional characteristics. This study analyzed the vulnerability of the heat wave and the surface temperature extracted from Landsat 8 satellite data. Areas with high surface temperature and with high vulnerability did not match. This study overlaid the results of vulnerability analysis and the land surface temperature(LST) in order to identify causes of vulnerability. The results showed that some areas within high-density commercial and semi-residential areas were the most vulnerable, with climate exposure factors, the ratio of the vulnerable populations and residential defective areas being the main causes. Accordingly, alternatives such as green space and residential environmental improvement could be suggested. Various policies for reducing and adapting to heat wave have been established and implemented. However, it is necessary to examine the regional and spatial characteristics of the city, to accurately diagnose the cause of the heat wave, and to prepare appropriate long-term alternatives accordingly.

This study classified abnormal sea surface temperature changes of the central pacific region according to three evolution patterns. Focusing on typhoons that affect the Korean Peninsula, the research analyzed typhoon's occurrence spot and track, change in the central pressure characteristics, and the characteristics of change in typhoon precipitation and the number of occurrences of heavy rainfall in the Nakdong River Basin. As a result of analysis, in case of prolonged-decaying years and symmetric-decaying years, typhoon-related summer rainfall and heavy rainy days appeared to be higher than long-term average. But in case of abrupt-decaying years, the pattern of general decrease appeared. This is because typhoon's occurrence spot is located comparatively near the Korean peninsula, typhoon's central pressure is high, and typhoon's route generally moves to Japan. As the outcome, this study is expected to reduce flood damage through analyzing the characteristics of typhoon's activity according to CP El Ni$\tilde{n}$o evolution patterns and the characteristics of local typhoon rainfall. In addition, it is expected to provide useful information for establishing adaptation and mitigation to climate change.

An integrated wastewater treatment pond system is developed for treatment and recycling of excreta from dairy cattle. It is composed of three ponds in series. A pit with a capacity of $10m^3$, 2-day hydraulic residence time, and overflow velocity of $1.5m^3m^{-2}day^{-1}$ is located internally in primary pond. It is designed for efficient sludge sedimentation and effective methane fermentation. It receives $5m^3/day$ of diluted cattle excreta by the water used for clearing stalls. A submerged gays collector for the recovery of methane is installed on the top of the pit. The average BOD_5 concentration of influent is 398.7mg/l. That of the effluent from primary pond is 49.2mg/l. About 88% of BOD_5 are removed in primary pond. It is assumed that about 60% of the influent BOD_5 is removed in the pit and that almost all of the carbon of the removed BOD_5 in the pit is converted to methane and carbon dioxide. Methane fermentation of the pit is well established at $16^{\circ}C$. This phenomena results from temperature stability, complete anaerobic condition, and neutral pH of the pit. Gas from the collector is almost 90% methane, less than 9% nitrogen, and less than 1% carbon dioxide. Thus a purified methane is produced, which can be used as energy source.

The global mean surface temperature has already increased by $0.6{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$ over the last century, and warming in Korea is approximately twice as large as the global average. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that the majority of warming over the past 50 years could be attributed to human activities (IPCC, 2001a). In addition, the global surface temperature is expected to increase by 1.4 to $5.8^{\circ}C$ depending on the greenhouse gas emission scenarios during the $21^{st}$ century.Climate change resulting from increased greenhouse gas concentrations has the potential to harm societies and ecosystems. Reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases and their concentration in the atmosphere will reduce the degree and likelihood of significant adverse conditions due to the anticipated climate change. Mitigation policy has generally been the primary focus of public attention and policy efforts on climate change. However, some degree of climate change is inevitable due to the combination of continued increases in emissions and the inertia of the global climate system. Adaptation actions and strategies are needed for a complementary approach to mitigation. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) currently addresses vulnerability and adaptation in the context of climate change negotiations and in future adaptation may be an important element of work under the Kyoto Protocol. There are several on-going programs to develop effective adaptation strategies and their implementation. But in general, many other countries are still on an initiating stage. The climate change science programs of the United States, Japan, England, and Germany are initiated to understand the current status of climate change science and adaptation researches in the developed countries. In this study, we propose the improvement on systems in policy and research aspects to effectively perform the necessary functions for development of nation-wide adaptation measures and their implementation. In policy aspect, the Korean Panel on Climate Change (KPCC) is introduced as a coordinating mechanism between government organizations related with climate change science, impact assessment and adaptation. Also in research aspect, there is a strong consensus on the need for construction of a national network on climate change research as trans-disciplinary research network.

In order to breed a new P. eryngii cultivar with high temperature tolerance trait to cope with climate change, strains and cultivars were characterized at $20^{\circ}C$ that is $5^{\circ}C$ higher than normal condition followed by screening for the characteristics such as required days to harvest, quality and yield. Monokaryons from the selected strains were crossed. $Da-32{\times}KNR2322-15$ derived from the crosses between KNR2322 having characteristics of short growing day and Da($Ga5Na5-4{\times}KNR2312-7$) having charateristics of high guality and yield at $20^{\circ}C$, showed 14.9 days for harvest, 120.6 g yield, and 7.0 quality in the first trial. The strains were named as Taeyangsongi and cultivated on a large scale to compare with Kenneutari No. 2 at a mushroom farm. Yield of Taeyangsongi (109 g) was significantly different(P=0.001) from Kenneutari No.2. Quality of the new (6.6) and the reference cultivar (3.5) was also statistically different (P=0.001) The brightness of pileus of Taeyangsongi (59.5) was 10 points less than the reference cultivar due to which it has an inability to bear high temperature stress. Thus, PCR reactions with URP2 discriminated between Taeyansongi and reference cultivars (Keneutari No. 2 and Aeryni).

Previous management for speed in road traffic system was aimed only to the improvement of mobility and safety. However, consideration for the aspect of environment and energy consumption efficiency was valued less than the former ones. Nevertheless, economical damage scope caused by climate change has been increasing and it is estimated that environmental value will be increased because of the change of external circumstances. In addition, policy for reducing carbon emission in transportation system was assessed as insufficient in improving the condition of traffic road since it only focused on the transition of private vehicle into public transportation and development of eco-friendly car. Now it is the time to prepare for the adaptation strategy and precaution for the increased number of private vehicle in Korea. For this, paradigm shift in traffic operation which includes the policy not only about the mobility but also about caring environment would be needed. It is needed to be able to monitor the actual amount of greenhouse gas in real time to reduce the amount of emitted greenhouse gas in the aspect of traffic management. In this research, a methodology which can build on-line greenhouse gas emission monitoring system by using real time traffic data and predicting the circumstance in next 5 minutes was suggested.

This research is an introductory study that hopes to interpret the cultural scenic landscape by analyzing Korea's mountains, streams, topography, color, light, human behavior, and more based on real landscape paintings. It places its purpose on understanding our intrinsic cultural scenic landscape by investigating the changed topography and the differing life patterns caused bythe active national land development after the modern era. With Seoul, which is now difficult to find images of its past, and the surrounding areas of the Han riverbed, the interpretation related to its original topography, landscape, climate, weather, and human behaviors was observed while the main focus was placed on the climate of the perception held by people regarding Mt. Geumgang and other ranges which are not fully opened to the public yet. In order to comprehensively analyze the figures of features and appearing landscapes including color, light, and more, it was described through the concept called climate. Hereupon, the real landscape paintings by Gyunjae(Jeong-Seon), mainly bearing features of existing Korean mountains, wereutilized as visual historical material. However, not having all his works, other pieces with representative characteristics were utilized such as "Gyeong-Gyo-Myeong-Seung-Chup(a painting with picturesque sceneries around old Seoul)" and "Hae-Ak-Jeon-Shin-Chup(a landscape painting including even the spirits of the seas and mountains)" which contain the regions' distinct scenery. As a result, the old cultural scenic landscapes of Korea are regarded as containing diverse mountains and where the conceptions of the treatment of mountains were reflected.

환경오염과 이상기후의 영향으로 인한 수자원의 고갈과 함께 국내의 경우 수자원 개발 계획 및 수요량을 감안할 때 향후 7 년 내에 물부족 현상을 겪을 것이라는 보고가 있 었으며, 환경부담을 줄이기 위해 폐수의 배출기준은 강화되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 제조 특성상 타 업종에 비해 폐수 발생량이 높은 편인 국내의 제지산업은 여러 해전부터 이에 대 한 방안을 모색하여 왔다. 일반적으로 폐수 수질 관리와 청수 사용량의 절감을 위해 고가의 폐수 처리 장치를 설치하거나 폐수 재활용을 통해 공정을 극도로 폐쇄화하는 방안으로 연구 가 진행되어 왔다. 이 중 용수의 재활용이 가장 경제적인 방법이지만, 재활용이 지속될수록 각종 무기염과 콜로이드성 유기물질이 축적되어 각종 약품의 효능 저하, 탈수속도의 저하 및 생산 제품의 품질 악화 등의 문제를 유발한다고 알려져 있다. 이를 해결하고자 하는 노 력으로 펄프 원료에 따른 공정수 내 용해성 물질의 분석과 재활용 횟수에 따른 각종 SS와 D DS의 축적 정도에 대한 기초 연구가 수행되었으며, 고폐쇄화된 공정에서 성능을 발휘할 수 있는 첨가제의 개발과 적용 방법에 대한 연구도 수행된 바 있다.여러 지종 가운데 골판지 원지는 용수의 재활용률이 상당히 높은 지종이기 때문에 공정수의 재활용이 진행될수록 열악한 저급 원료로부터 각종의 다양한 물질이 용출 혹은 배 출되며, 이러한‘물질은 골판지 원지의 강도 발현에 더욱 악영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되었다. 미세분으로 구성된 SS의 경우 이미 많은 연구를 통해 특성이 파악되었기 때문에 본 연구에 서는 ss를 제외한 공정수를 두 가지로 크게 나누어 고려하였다. 즉, ss로 측정되지 않지만 닥도를 유발할 수 있는 미세 무기물질과, 용해성의 무기염, 첨가제 및 추출물 둥으로 이루어 진 용해성 성분으로 나누어 분석하였으며, 또한 각각이 초지 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보 고자 하였다.을 해석코자 하였으며, 그 방법으 로 수치해석기법을 도입하였다. 또 실제 캘린더링 전후의 두께 변화를 측정하여 유리전이온도 의 도달 깊이와 비교하였다. 지필의 압축 정도는 롤의 직경과 닙 폭을 이용하여 MD 방향으 로 함수화하였으며, 열전달 계수로는 겉보기 값을 사용하였다. 이때 지펼은 균질한 것으로 가 정하였다. 함수율은 유리전이온도를 좌우하는 가장 큰 인자이나 본 연구에서는 항온항습처리 를 통해 유입지의 함수율을 고정시켰으며 캘린더링 시 함수율의 변이는 없다고 가정하였다. 그 결과 열침투깊이가 증가할수록 지필은 보다 변형되기 쉬운 상태가 되어 주어진 압력 조건에 대해 소성변형 정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 캘린더링 전후에 두께 변화를 측정하여 정량적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 수치해석기법을 통해 같은 압력 조건에서 온도가 증 가함에 따라 혹은 같은 온도 조건에서 압력이 증가함에 따라 지필 내의 유리전이온도의 침투 깊이가 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이는 캘린더링 전후의 두께 변화의 측정 결과와 일치하였 다. 또 NRT가 증가함에 따라서도 유리전이온도 침투 깊이가 증가하였다.합편에 비해 일부 우수한 양상을 보였지만 본 실험의 범위내에서는 통계적 정량적 차이를 제시할 수는 없었다. 향후 보다 광범위한 동물 실험이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.된다.하고도 완전교정술 도달 확률이 높은 치료전략이라는 사실을 입증하였으며 주대동맥폐동맥혈관부행지의 크기나 숫자가 단일화하기 쉬운 형태학적 특징을 지닌 경우에는 조기에 일단계완전교정술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 사실을 발견하였다. 반면 본 환아군 중 단일화술을 먼저 시도한 군에서는 비록 단계적인 단일화를 시도한 군에서 단일화술과 관계된 수술사망율이 약간 낮기는 하였으나 완전교정술까지 완료될 가능성에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 이 경우 보다 정련된 적응 환자의 선택을 통한 단일화 우선전략의 시도와 장기 추
