The species composition of the fish community was studied in four streams where fish kills have previously occurred in recent years; Worun Stream, Seo Stream, Jangnam Stream, and the Anyang Stream. The number of fish species varied from 22 to 86% compared to the number of fish species pre-fish kill. The recovery of fish populations in the streams seems to be determined by water quality and the presence of artificial structures in the streams. The Jangnam Stream, where alkaline pH caused a fish kill, showed a high recovery of fish species due to improvements in water quality. Anyang Stream had a low number of species, possibly because dissolved oxygen concentrations were intermittently low. Artificial structures in streams had a negative impact the recovery of fish species, particularly for benthic fish species. It appears that fish populations can recover rapidly when water quality improves or the movement of fish community is unimpeded. However, water quality and artificial structures in many streams in Korea still present adverse conditions for fish survival, deterring the recovery of fish populations. To conserve fish populations in streams, habitat all owing unimpeded movement for fish and controls on pollutant inputs are needed.

To understand the application in farm for the fish aquaculture, we investigated biological and pathological traits on red sea bream Pagrus major which were reared in each copper-alloy net cage and the synthetic fiber net cage for 9 months. Two groups of cage were made and set in Yokji-eup, Tongyoung, Gyeongsangnam-do in size of 25 m in diameter and 10 m of depth. Survival rate of the red sea bream in the rearing copper-alloy net cage and synthetic fiber cage showed 99.75% and 99.70% respectively, there was no significant difference. Daily weight growth rate in each net was shown to 2.13 g/day and 1.65 g/day. Health analysis by blood composition analysis showed a favorable result in the copper-alloy net cage rather than in the synthetic fiber net. Bioaccumulation of heavy metal such as Cu and Zn especially in gonad was higher than other organ. Bioaccumulation of Cu and Zn in the muscle was lower compared to the permitted standard for food safety. Pathogenic infection test discovered Microcotyle tai for parasite, V. alginolyticus and other five species for bacteria. But there was a little bit difference of bacteria infection in copper-alloy net cage and copper-alloy net cage is expected to be has antibacterial effect. Thus, copper-alloy net cage can be applied to farm considering its system stability, recycling, antibiosis and food safety.

The Chonju and Samchun streams are passing though Chonju city and several contamination sources are located along these streams. The Samchun stream joins the Chonju stream in the Gosapyeong waste disposal site and the Chonju stream finally joins to the Mankyeong River. The objectives of this study are to determine the state and sources of contamination for heavy metals and anions in the Chonju and Samchun streams and to evaluate the effect of these streams on the contamination of the Mankyeong River. In order to select sampling locations, a stratified random sampling method was used. These streams was divided into several parts according to the expected contamination state, and samples were selected randomly from these parts. Generally, the water qualities of these streams were generally below the Drinking Water Level at the time of sampling in various heavy metals and anions. However, the levels of AI, Fe, $NH_{3}-N,Cl^{-}$, Cl- in these streams could be higher during dry season due to continuous inputs from various contamination sources. This study identified several contamination sources for these streams; two waste disposal sites along these streams for Fe, Mn, AI, Zn and $Cl^{-}$, the Chonju Waste Water Treatment Plant for Zn, Mn, $Cl^{-}$, $SO_{4}S$, $NO_{2}N$, and $NH_{3}-N$ and the untreated sewages for AI, Zn, Mn, $Cl^{-}$, $SO_{4}S$, $NH_{3}-N$ and $PO_{4}^{2-}$. This study also revealed that the Chonju stream itself is an important contamination source for Fe, Mn, $Cl^{-}$ and $SO_{4}S$ in the Mankyung River.

If of application of the deep deckting floor in long span more than 6m, the deflection caused by the construction load occurred high. Because the constructing-works and safety by this deflection, take actually supports to laborers working on the deck. However, installed supports are having difficultly such as the restricted passage, deficiency of working space, and lowering of efficiency. And toward-opening deck is seen as local buckling of web plate, flexural-torsional buckling, and gradually opening of corrugated decking. In this study, we will suggest a deep decking floor system that reinforced with both ends cap plates for toward-opneing decking change from opening to closing. The constructing deflection of a deep decking more than 6m must be satified 30mm and L/180 as proposed. Full-scale field tests loading by sand conducted a deep decking reinforced with and without cap plate. In conclusion, the specimen reinforced with cap plates have shown that to ensure the negative moment $wl^2/18$. And constructing-deflection of deep decking shown that to satisfy the evaluation value (L/180 or 30mm).

In order to provide quality services across international airports, airline personnel must rapidly and effectively develop and share knowledge. Combining components of adaptive structuration theory (AST) and media synchronicity theory (MST), a research framework was developed to convey three distinct stages of knowledge sharing. We use the grounded theory research method for the qualitative data collected from audio transcripts of employees learning how to use and work with company issued smartphones with push-to-talk functionalities. Data was collected from 33 operations personnel. The results of the content analysis are recorded for the elements of each of the three concepts of our research framework. During the social interaction stage, the content of the audio conversations shifts mainly from conflict management to task management; for media synchronicity, from quality to quantity; for productive outcomes, from efficiency to commitment. New insights are uncovered from our analysis of data from the field as users advance from learning how to use the mobile devices, to using the devices for managing knowledge for their work in the airline industry.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes of OSI value according to tear-film instability measured serially by OQAS(Optical Quality Analysis System, Visiometrics, Spain) every seconds. The presented study analyzed the relationship of the OQAS parameter with the results of the tear-film break-up time, Schirmer test, and the McMonies score. Methods: 147 eyes of 82 subjects were randomly selected from university students (age: $21.51{\pm}3.97$, male 45, female 37). Subjects were measured tear-film break-up time, Schirmer test, McMonies score and once every second for 15 seconds after blinking by continuous measurements from OQAS system. Results: The normal eye groups presented OSI values of $2.13{\pm}1.16$ while the dry eye groups had OSI values of $3.76{\pm}1.42$. Therefore, a significant difference between the normal eye group and dry eye group was discovered (p<0.05). In addition, the OSI value of all subjects increased over time. The OSI value, which was measured every second after blinking occurred, significantly increased between 6 seconds and 7 seconds after the start of the measurement (p<0.05). OSI cut off of 30% (sec.) showed a greater correlation; TBUT (r = 0.855, p = 0.000), McMonies test (r = -0.351, p = 0.003), Schirmer (r = 0.316, p = 0.012). Conclusions: Continuous measurement of OQAS showed a high correlation with the value of the existing dry eye tests. Therefore, Analysis of OSI values by utilization of OQAS could be useful in objectively evaluation of tear film in patients.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the post-retention stability of the lower incisor axis in Class II division 2 malocclusions. The dental casts and lateral cephalograms from before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment and long-term post-retention (T3) in 62 Class II division 2 malocclusion cases were included in this study. After several linear and angular measurements at each time were taken, the significance in the amount of change of the lower incisor axis for each gender and extraction versus non-extraction was evaluated. The results showed that the lower incisors that inclined labially during treatment were unstable and relapsed to the original lingual position in Class II division 2 malocclusions (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between extraction and non-extraction groups for the amount of lingual relapse of the lower incisors (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between male and female groups for the axial change of the lower incisors (p>0.05). As a result of multiple regression analysis, the cephalometric measurement best predicting the lower incisor position to the A-Pog line post-retention was pre-treatment L1-Apog(mm) and pre-treatment SNGoMe$(^{\circ})$. Because of the instability of labially inclined lower incisors after orthodontic treatment, the treatment goal should be the pre-treatment incisor axial position.

수자원 계획 및 관리를 위한 지표 자료로서 일유량은 매우 유용하기 때문에 정확한 일유량 산정의 문제는 매우 중요하다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 조석이나 배수 갑문 혹은 보 등에 의한 배수 영향으로 인해 수위-유량관계곡선식만으로 정상적인 유량산정이 어려운 지점이 다수 존재한다. 특히, 한강대교 지점과 같이 조석영향 구간에서 수위-유량관계곡선식에 의해 산정된 일유량은 자료에 대한 곡선식의 적합도 문제로 그 정확도가 매우 낮았다. 최근 자동유량측정에 의해 시간단위 이하의 실시간 유량이 생산되고 있고 이를 이용하여 일유량을 환산하고 있어 과거에 비해 보다 정확한 일유량 산정이 가능해 졌다. 그러나 신뢰도 있는 일유량을 안정적으로 제공하기 위해서는 보다 다양한 조건을 고려한 비교 검증 연구가 요구되는 실정이다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 한강대교 지점과 같이 조석영향을 받는 지점의 일유량 산정방법 및 산정개념에 따른 유황의 차이와 적정성을 평가하여 보았다. 각 산정방법 및 산정개념 별로 산정된 일유량을 통해 유황을 산정하여 한강대교 지점의 일유량 산정방법에 대한 적정성을 평가하고 적절한 유황산정을 위한 목적별 대안을 제시하였다. 산정방법 별로는 기존의 수위-유량관계 곡선식으로 변환된 자료, 자동유량측정자료, 그리고 자동유량측정자료에서 조석성분을 제거한 순수 유출성분자료를 이용하여 일유량을 산정하였고, 이를 이용하여 산정된 유황에 대한 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 수위-유량관계곡선식에 의한 일유량은 수문조사연보의 자료를 이용하였고 자동유량자료를 이용한 일유량은 시자료를 평균하여 일유량으로 환산하는 방법을 사용하였다. 자동유량 자료에서 조석성분을 제거한 순수 유출성분의 추출은 웨이블릿 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용하였다. 각 방법별로 산정된 일유량을 비교한 결과 수위-유량관계곡선식에 의해 산정된 일유량이 자동 유량자료로 산정된 일유량에 비해 전반적으로 크게 나타났고, 2009년 한해 동안의 유출용적을 비교해 본 결과 18%정도 더 크게 산정되었다. 산정개념에 따른 비교에서는 조석성분 유량의 유효성 여부에 따른 유황을 비교하였으며, 조석성분 유량도 실효적 유량으로 간주한 경우 이론적 확률 분포형에 적합시켜 산정한 평균 갈수량은 15.7 ��/s(동절기 이상 거동기간인 2009년 11월 17일-12월 12일 기간을 제외하고 산정된 결과이나 불확실성은 잔존)에서 $53.2m^3/s$로 증가하였다. 따라서 유지유량의 목적상 경관용수나 생태용수가 중요한 지점으로 조석성분 유량이 이에 유효하다면, 유황산정을 위한 한강대교 지점의 일유량 산정방법은 다양한 목적에 비추어 추가적인 분석 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

To prepare the hollow fiber nanofiltration composite membranes, the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane was hydrophilized with $K_2Cr_2OH$ and $KMnO_4$ aqueous solutions. And then the composite membrane was synthesized on that membrane surfaces using interfacial polymerization with piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The resulting membranes were characterized in terms of the rejection and flux for NaCl, $CaSO_4$, $MgCl_2$ 100 ppm solution and 300 ppm of NaCl and $CaSO_4$ mixed solution by varying the coating time, drying time, and the concentration of the coating materials. As a result, the higher rejections were shown for $K_2Cr_2OH$ solutionas a hydrophilization material, and the flux was enhanced while the rejection reduced as the hydrophilization time is longer. Also, the rejection increased and the flux reduced as the concentrations of triethyl amine (TEA) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were higher. Typically, the rejection 50% and flux 40 LMH for NaCl 100 ppm solution, and the rejection 55% and flux 48 LMH for $CaSO_4$ 100 ppm solution were obtained for the PVDF hollow fiber composite membrane prepared with the conditions of PIP 2 wt% (Triethyl amine (TEA) 7 wt%, SLS 20 wt% mixed solution against PIP concentration) and TMC 0.1 wt%.

The biodegradable hyaluronic acid(HA) membranes cross-linked with lactide using the crosslinking agent, 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide(EDC) were prepared as a potential biocompatible material for tissue engineering. HA membranes having different mechanical properties were synthesised by varying degree of the mole ratio of lactide to HA, EDC concentration, and crosslinking temperature. HA membranes were degradable in water solution and the degradation became slower with the increasing mole ratio of lactide to HA. HA membranes were sterilized using ethylene oxide gas and extracted with cell culture medium for 24 h at $37^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm. Cytotoxicity of the extract was tested using NIH/3T3 mouse embryo fibroblast as a model cell. Growth inhibition was not observed in the extracts of HA membranes with the mole ratios of lactide to HA, 5 or 10, and 10% EDC concentration, however 11% of growth inhibition was observed in the extract with the mole ratio of 13. Growth inhibition was not observed in the extracts of HA membranes prepared with 5% EDC or 10% EDC and the mole ratio of lactide to HA, 10, however 12% of growth inhibition was observed in the extract with 20% EDC. Cytotoxicity was not observed in the extracts of HA membranes prepared at varying crosslinking temperatures, $15^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C,\;and\;28^{\circ}C$ with the mole ratio of lactide to HA, 10 and 10% EDC.
