Population ecology (Ecological characteristics) of Squalidus japonicus coreanus from the Namhan River(Yangpyeong-gun Yangpyeong-eup Changde-ri), Gyeonggi-do, Korea were investigated from January to December 2011. Short barbel gudgeon inhabits habitats run of the lower river. The stream bed was mostly covered sand. Their current velocities were 0.14~1.38m/sec and depths were 80~120cm. The sex ratio of female to male was 1 : 0.82. It is presumed that the spawning season is from June to July and water temperatures were $18.5{\sim}24.3^{\circ}C$. Sexually matured individuals appeared over the two year of age. Frequency analysis of total length indicated that the group with 34~50mm in total length was one year old, the 51~74mm was two years old, and the group over 75mm was three years old. The average number of eggs in the ovaries was estimated as 1,871 per matured female. Stomach content of S. japonicus coreanus were Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Rotatoria, Crustaceae, Copepoda, Ephemeroptera, Diptera, and Nematoda. omnivorous, mainly feeds on benthic invertebrates such as chironomidae larvae.

The Antarctic continent exposed to strong wind, very low temperature, and extremely dry condition. The freezing-thawing cycles under this extreme environment change the mechanical characteristics of rocks near the ground surface. To investigate the effect of freezing-thawing cycles under the extreme environment understand on geotechnical properties of rocks, rocks from the Antarctica were collected from two places: (1) West Antarctic Cape Burks and (2) East Antarctic Terra Nova Bay areas. The rock characteristics of these two areas were described and compared. For Terra Nova Bay area, rock characteristics of rocks near the surface and depths exceeding 2.9 m were examined. The 'near-the-surface rocks' averages of absorption rate, P-wave velocity, and unconfined compressive strength were 0.56%, 3,717 m/s, and 109MPa, respectively; while, those values of 'deep-sited rocks' were 0.24%, 4,670 m/s, and 88MPa. From the measurements, it was found that the effects of weathering were not significant on mechanical characteristics (strength) but were pronounced on physical characteristics(absorption and P-wave velocity).

Ecological characteristics of Koreocobitis rotundicaudata was investigated in the mid-upper part of the Naerin stream in Hongcheon gun, Gangwon do, Korea from April 2006 to March 2007. It inhabited mostly on the cobble and pebble bottoms with water-current velocities of 0.3~0.8 m/sec and depths of 30~80 cm. The sex ratio of female to male was 1 : 0.78. It was presumed that the spawning season was from May to June with water temperatures $20.1{\sim}23.1^{\circ}C$. Sexually matured individuals appeared over the two years of age. Body length frequencies indicated that the 40~69 mm group is over one year old, the 70~109 mm over two years old, and 110~142 mm over three years old. The average number of eggs in the ovaries was 1,365. Main prey materials were Ephemeroptera and Chironomidae mostly.

The purpose of this study is to clarify when spawning occurs of Clupea pallasii in the coastal waters of Jinhae Bay and Yeongun-ri, Tongyeong, Korea from December to February using SCUBA observation which is known as spawning season. Eighteen surveys of SCUBA diving observations have performed at 3 stations of Jinhae Bay from December 2017 to January 2018 and 24 times of survey at Yeongun-ri, Tongyeong from December 2017 to February 2018. In Jinhae Bay, average 740,274 eggs/㎡ fertilized eggs were observed in Judo Island and average 671,718 eggs/㎡ were observed in Gusan-myeon. On December 30, 2017, about 388,444 eggs/㎡ fertilized eggs were observed in Yeongun-ri, Tongyeong but no eggs were founded in next surveys. The results in this study suggest that spawning season of C. pallasii in the coastal waters of Jinhae Bay and Tongyeong begins in late December at average 7.7℃ water temperature.

Life history of the Siberian stone loach, Orthrias toni, were investigated using samples collected from Buk Stream, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea. Growth was rapid between April and October when water temperature exceeded $10^{\circ}C$, but growth almost stopped from November-March when water temperature was below $10^{\circ}C$. Age groups for O. toni estimated by frequency distribution of total length in spawning season (May) indicated the 60~81 mm is 1-year old, the 82~99 mm group is 2-years old, the 100~119 mm is 3-years old, and the 120~140 mm is more than 4-years old. Total length range by sex was similar, and sex ratio (♂/♀) was 0.73. Spawning season according to the gonadosomatic index (GSI) was May with water temperature $14{\sim}17^{\circ}C$, and almost all fish were mature after one year old. Fecundity increased rapidly with age with an average of $4,460{\pm}3,302$ ($mean{\pm}SD$). Size of mature eggs was $0.87{\pm}0.03mm$ in diameter irrespective of age.

This study aimed to analyze convergently the result of the health check-up of the military workers at age of 40, a life transition period in Korea. Data of 4898 military workers who took a health check-up in 2015 was obtained from the national health insurance service and we conducted secondary analysis. As a results, the metabolic syndrome group had a greater current smoking rate, higher number of cigarettes smoked per day, longer period of smoking and higher amount of alcohol consumed. Also, the group scored higher on BMI and had a higher level of total cholesterol, AST, ALT and GGT. In conclusion, as the military workers at age of 40 usually perform important duties, effective programs of reducing smoking and drinking alcohol are needed for their age group, In order to develop health management programs, prior investigation to take into consideration specific age and military rank is necessary.

Chinhae Bay, included small ports, is the region which the red tide phenomenon is occurred frequently in summer season. Field sampling of 4 cross-sections in the bay resulted in detailed informations on cross-sectional velocity distributions, salt concentrations and discharge during one consecutive tidal cycle in summer season, 1983. High velocity cores reoccur two times a semi-diurnal tidal cycle at the same cross-sectional location, lower layer, in Kadok Channel during the spring tide. The tidal exchange ratio was estimated by Eulerian method. The range of exchange ratios in central Kadok Channel are 9.3-17% at the spring tide and 16.9-21.8% at the neap tide. On the other hand, its range in Masan bay-mouth is 8.7% at the spring tide and 2.0% neap tide, respectively.

제주지역은 대륙과 해양을 연결하는 요충지로서 한라산을 중심으로 동서사면은 $3{\sim}5^{\circ}$의 완만한 경사를 이루고 있다. 연평균 강우량은 1,975mm로서 국내 최다우 지역이나 제주도의 지질 특성상 도내 대부분의 지역이 투수성이 높은 다공질 현무암으로 구성되어 있는 관계로 지표수의 발달이 미약한 반면 지하수가 풍부하게 부존되어 있으며 기저지하수, 준 기저지하수, 상위지하수, 기반암지하수로 이루어져 있다. 최근 우리나라의 교토의정서 비준으로 인한 온실가스 감축이 불가피함에 따라 대체 재생가능한 에너지를 이용한 풍력발전시대가 도래하고 있으며, 제주 행원풍력발전단지에 설치된 총 15기 발전장치의 현실성과 경제성 입증을 통해 제주지역의 풍력에너지를 이용한 지하수 취수시스템을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 제주, 고산, 서귀포, 성산포지역에 대한 제주지방기상청 연평균 풍속자료$(2004{\sim}2005)$를 통하여 대상지역내 적용 가능한 로터(Roter), 나셀(Nacelle), 타워(Tower), 발전기를 포함한 발전장치를 선정하였으며, 공기역학적(Aerodynamic)특성에서 전기에너지로 변환한 풍력에너지를 지하수 취수시스템으로 적용하기까지의 전력공급절차를 도출하였다. 또한 생산되어진 풍력에너지 용량에 적용 가능한 수중.육상모터펌프를 산정하여 '제주도 지하수개발.이용시설 설치 및 관리기준(2004)'에서 제시한 구조도를 바탕으로 대상지역내 지하수위를 고려한 지하수 취수시스템을 도시하였다. 제주도는 지형 및 지질적인 특성상 수자원을 지하수에 의존할 수밖에 없는 특수한 지역이므로 2002년말 통계를 살펴보면 생활용, 공업용, 농업용으로 각각 57만$m^2$, 11만$m^2$, 56만$m^2$를 포함한 1일 최대 124만$m^2$의 지하수를 사용하고 있다. 따라서 풍력에너지를 이용한 지하수 취수시스템을 도입하여 재생가능한 에너지이용 효과와 세계인이 공감하는 청정한 관광자원으로 활용 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

This study simulate three-dimensional ocean circulation patterns using the EFDC model in the Kwangyang Bay and Jinju Bay, considering tide, water temperature and salinity. The numerical model results were verified using observed data. The model results well reproduced the observed data. As a result, ocean circulation patterns in the study area show convergence and divergence in the middle area of Noryang waterway and Daebang waterway, the residual flow patterns show typical two-layer circulation. According to the change of the density stratification in the Kwangyang Bay and Jinju Bay, the effect of fresh water is dominant in study area. In the case of Jinju Bay, although it is strongly influenced by the Namgang fresh water, also it is affected by Seomjin River when there is no discharge by Namgang Dam. On the other hand, the stratification of the Kwangyang Bay is relatively enhanced by the discharge of Namgang Dam.
