This experiment was carried out to examine the effects of morphology on properties of La-Co substituted SrM ferrite. The magnetic properties of calcined and sintered materials varied with the substitutional amount of La and Co elements in Sr-ferrite. In the substituted SrM ferrite, the atomic fraction x of La is directly related to the mole ratio n of iron oxide and the atomic fraction y of Co by equation x=2ny. The HcJ values of the calcined powder were about 270 kA/m and 240 kA/m with x=0.3 and K=0.2, respectively at stoichiometriy, n=6.0. Crystallites of the sintered material were grown with a plate shape, and their size decreased with increasing mole ratios. Such a shape was caused by the initial state of crystallite formed after calcination. In case of x=0.3 and n=6.0, Br was 415 mT and HcJ was 355 kA/m, and in x=0.2 and n=6.0, Br was 410 mT and HcJ was 370kA/m. The squareness in 2nd quarter of BH curve with x=0.2 was smoothly improved compared with x=0.3

Long-term annual water balances are analyzed for two forest catchments located in Gwangneung covered with forests of different types and ages. The water balance trends of the two catchments from 1982 to 2009 are compared to identify the effect of forest growth and thinning on the water balance in a planted coniferous forest catchment. According to the averaged annual precipitation and runoff for the four designated periods from 1982 to 2009, the water balance of the old natural broad-leaved forest catchment (GB) remained relatively unchanged. In contrast, the young planted coniferous forest catchment (GC) showed significant changes in the water balance due to the forest growing and thinning. The results showed that the catchment runoff decreases with increasing tree age whereas the forest thinning results in an increase in catchment runoff. The mean annual runoff from the catchment GC after thinning increased by 1.7 times, compared with the mean annual runoff before forest thinning. The mean annual runoff from the catchment GB was very stable throughout the period. However, such an effect of forest thinning appeared to last only for about 10 year-period, after which the water yield increment in the catchment GC disappeared. It indicates that the proper forest management should be reconsidered at the interval of 10 years to effectively reduce water loss and increase water yield in the planted coniferous forest.

This study was conducted to analyze the effects of stand density on fire fuel (FF) changes in a Chamaecyparis obtusa forest. The study site was located in Mt. Munsu in Jeollabuk-do and consisted of a control, 30% thinning treatment(LT), and 50% thinning treatment(HT). Three-year-old seedlings were planted at a density of 3,000trees ha^-1 in 1976, and thinning was carried out in 2000. FF production was measured every 2 months by installing 3 circular litter traps 1.2m above the ground. Litter bags containing 5g of each leaf and branch were made and buried in the organic layer to investigate the FF decomposition rate. The decay constant was calculated after 18 months. FF accumulation was measured by collecting dry-weight organic matter from each plot using a square frame (0.09 m²) in September 2018. The FF production in LT and HT was significantly lower than that of the control(P<0.001). The leaf decay constant for HT was significantly lower than that of the control (P<0.05). The FF accumulation in HT was significantly lower than that of the control (P<0.01), but LT was not significantly different from the control. The results of this study showed that thinning decreased FF production.

We estimated the distribution of predator-prey interaction strengths for 12 species of herbivores (including amphipods, isopods, gastropods, and sea urchins) and made a regression model that may be applicable to other species. Laboratory experiments were used to determine per capita grazing rate (PCGR; g seaweeds/individual/day). Relationship between the biomass of individual grazers and fourth-root transformed PCGR was fitted to power curve ($y=0.2310x^{0.3290}$, r=0.8864). This finding supported that the grazing efficiency was not even as individual grazers increase in size (biomass). Therefore, the biomass-normalized PCGR was estimated and revealed that smaller size herbivores were more effective grazers. Grazing impact considering density of each taxon was calculated. The sea hare Aplysia kurodai had greatest grazing impact on the seaweed bed and the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus and S. intermedius were ranked in descending order of the impact. The amount of seaweed grazed by the amphipod Elasmopus sp. (>4,000 $ind./m^2$) and Jassa falcata (>2,000 $ind./m^2$) were 3.435 and $1.697mg/m^2/day$ respectively. The combined grazing amount of herbivores was $5,045mg/m^2/day$ in the seaweed bed. Although sea hare and sea urchin had strong impacts on seaweeds, the effects of dense, smaller species could not be seen as negligible. Surprisingly, the calculated grazing potential of sea urchins with a mean density of 3 $ind./m^2$ exceeded the mean production of seaweed cultured in domestic coastal waters in Korea (ca., 5 ton/ha). Small crustaceans were also expected to consume up to 16% of the seaweed production if their densities were rising under weak predation conditions. Considering that the population density of herbivores are strongly controlled by fish, human interference like overfishing may have strong negative effects on persistence of seaweeds communities.

$UO_2$-5wt%CeO$_2$ 분말에서 소결온도(1600, 1$700^{\circ}C$), 소결분위기(H$_2$, $N_2$-7vol.%H$_2$) 및 Li$_2$O 첨가량(0.05-2wt%)에 따른 소결성의 변화를 관찰하였다. $UO_2$-5wt%CeO$_2$를 attrition mill에서 2 시간까지 분쇄한 후, 1$700^{\circ}C$에서 H$_2$, N2-7vol.%H$_2$ 분위기에서 소결하면 소결밀도가 각각 10.46, 10.36 g/㎤이지만, 각 분위기에서 소결체내의 결경립크기가 일정하지 않고 Ce agg1omerate도 소결체내의 여러 곳에 분포되어 있어 분말처리만으로 소결성을 개선하는데는 한계가 있었다. 반면에, $UO_2$-5wt%CeO$_2$에 0.lwt%Li$_2$O를 첨가하여 1 시간동안 분쇄란 후, 1$600^{\circ}C$에서 H$_2$$N_2$-7vol.%H$_2$ 분위기로 소결하면 밀도는 각각 10.51, 10.48 g/㎤이었고, 결정립크기는 각각 8.9, 42.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$이었다. 즉, Li$_2$O의 첨가에 의해 밀도와 결정립크기가 모두 증가했으며, H$_2$ 분위기보다는 $N_2$-7vol.%H$_2$ 분위기에서 결정립이 더 크게 성장하였고, 1$700^{\circ}C$에서도 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. $UO_2$-5wt%CeO$_2$와 이 조성에 0.lwt%Li$_2$O를 첨가한 분말들을 H$_2$ 및 $N_2$-7vol.%H$_2$ 분위기에서 소결하여 기공크기 및 기공부피의 변화를 관찰한 결과, H2 분위기에서 소결하였을 때는 Li$_2$O의 첨가에 의해 치밀화가 주로 일어났고, 반면에 $N_2$-7vol.%H$_2$ 분위기에서 소결하면 Li$_2$O의 첨가에 의해 작은 기공은 소멸되고 큰 기공이 생성되었다.

In order to prevent an ammonia container from bursting under conditions such as overcharging and abnormal temperature rise, it is necessary to prepare accident prevention measures through analysis of the operating mechanism of the Thermally Activated Pressure Relief Devices (TPRD) attached to the container. In this study, stress analysis acting on the ammonia container under pressurized conditions, density change analysis according to temperature change, and correlation between container filling amount and temperature and pressure change were presented. In addition, the maximum filling amount of the ammonia container was calculated, and the temperature and pressure at the filling amount were calculated through the phase equilibrium diagram. Based on this, the appropriate melting point of the Thermally Activated Pressure Relief Devices was derived and verified through a melting temperature experiment. Based on the results of this study, conditions for preventing ammonia container rupture accidents were suggested.

The purpose of this study is to monitor changes in the water surface of reservoirs in verifiable areas in Korea using satellite images and to analyze the water surface area and water storage. The target area of this study is the Daecheong dam of the Geumgang(Riv.), which supplies water to some areas in the Chungcheong area. A study was conducted to detect water surface area by using the Sentinel-1(SAR-C) image and the optical image of Sentinel-2(MSI) among the various observation sensors of satellite images. The correlation between the reservoir's water storage volume, which is ground measurement data, and the extracted water surface area was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the coefficient of determination(R²) between water surface area and daily storage using SAR images was analyzed to be 0.9242, and in the analysis using Sentinel-2's MSI optical image, it was analyzed to be correlated at 0.8995. In addition, it is analyzed that the water storage volume of the water surface area extracted from the image using the relationship between the water storage volume and the water surface area represents a hydrograph similar to the actual water storage volume. This study is a basic study for the use of satellite images in unmeasured/non-access areas such as North Korea, and plans to conduct a study to analyze annual changes and long-term trends in major dam reservoirs in North Korea by reflecting the results obtained through this study.

Reliable forest statistics provides important information to meet the UNFCCC. In this respect, the national forest inventory has played a crucial role to provide the reliable forest statistics for several decades. However, the previous forest statistics calculated by administrative district has not provided spatial information in a small scale. Thus, this study focused on developing models to estimate an explicit spatial distribution of forest growing stock. For this, first, stand volume model by stand types was developed using National Forest Inventory(NFI) data. Second, forest type map was integrated with this model. NFI data were used to calculate plot-level stand volume and basal area. The stand types of NFI plot including the species composition, age class, DBH class and crown density class are very crucial data to be connected with forest type map. Finally, polygonlevel stand volume map was developed with spatial uncertainty map. Average stand volume was estimated at 85.7 $m^3$/ha in the study area, and at 95% significance interval it was ranged from 79.7 $m^3$/ha to 91.8 $m^3$/ha.

고분자전해질들은 제지공정에서 건조지력제, 습윤지력제, 정착제, 보류제 등으로 널리 사 용되어지고 있으며, 이러한 고분자전해질들이 보유하고 있는 관능기의 종류와 분자량에 따라 각각의 다른 특성을 발현하게 된다. 이중 관능기의 종류와 비율에 따라 결정되는 중요한 특성 중 한가지가 전하밀도이며, 이러한 전하밀도는 제지공정에 사용할 때 습부공정에서 매우 중요 한 인자라 할 수 있다. 전하밀도는 고분자전해질의 분자구조와 단량체의 종류에 따라 다르며, 적용 pH의 조건에 따라 변화하게 된다. 3급 아민과 4급 암모늄을 관능기로 가진 고분자전해질 의 경우 pH에 따른 전하밀도의 변화는 이미 잘 알려져 있는 바,3급 아민을 작용기로 가진 양이 온성 고분자전해질은 pH 9에 도달하면 양전하를 완전히 상실하고,4급 암모늄을 작용기로 가진 양이온성 고분자전해질은 pH의 변화에 상관없이 양전하가 변하지 않는다고 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 양이온성과, 양쪽이온성 고분자전해질들 중 Cationic PAM, Amphoteric P PAM, PolyDADMAC, Epoxide polyamide resin, Epi-DMA copolymer 등을 시 료로 사용하였 으며, 양이온성 관능기의 종류가 다른 고분자 전해질을 이용하여 pH 변화에 따른 전하밀도의 변화를 검토하였다. 또한 일반적으로 중성 초지공정의 pH 조건은 7.0 - 8.0이며, 이 pH 조건에 서 고분자전해질의 거동은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 양이온 관능기의 종류에 따른 고분자전해질들을 pH 7.8에서 보관시간에 따른 전하밀도의 변화를 조사하였으며, 전하밀도가 변화하는 양상에 따라 양이온성 관능기의 분자구조의 변화를 검토하였다. p pH 변화에 따른 전하밀도의 변화 결과로부터 3급 아민을 포함한 양이온성 고분자전해질 뿐만 아니라,4급 암모늄을 포함한 일부의 양이온성 고분자전해질 또한 알카리 조건에서 전하 밀도가 감소하며, 강한 얄차리 조건에서는 음이온성 고분자전해질로 변화하는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들로부터 약 알카리(pH 7.5 - 8.0) 조건 하에서도 시간의 변화에 따라 4 급 암모늄을 포함하는 고분자전해질의 전하밀도가 변화할 것이라 예측하였으며, 실험을 통해 그 사실을 확인하였다. 알카리 조건에서 전하밀도가 변하지 않는 4급 암모늄 고분자전해질과, 전하밀도가 변하는 4급 암모늄 고분자전해질의 분자구조를 비교해 볼 때, 그 원인은 4급 암모늄 의 관능기가 고분자 연쇄로부터 가수분해 되어 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다.

Grazing effects of a freshwater bivalve, Unio douglasiae, on both the phytoplankton communities of cold- and warm eutrophic lakes were examined in aquarium with sediment. The animal U. douglasiae used in the study was collected from the Gunsan (Jeonbuk), acclimatized in laboratory aquaria with washed sand from the mussel collection stream, and starved for $2{\sim}3$ days by the experiment. Grazing experiments were performed with the surface waters collected from Lake Ilgam (Seoul) in the cold period (March 31, 2008), and the warm period (June 19, 2008), respectively. Results clearly showed that the concentration of chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and algal abundance were decreased with the increase of mussel-treated density and treated-time. At the same animal density, U. douglasiae effectively decreased the chl-a of cold-lake water (CW), compared to warm-lake water (WW). Increasing the mussel density, the filtering rate (or algal abundance) of the mussel on the CW gradually decreased, while those of WW did not increase or decrease. Major phytoplankton species Synedra ulna and Stephanodiscus hantzschii, and Scenedesmus ecornis in CW, and those of Tetraedron regulare and Pediastrum simplex in WW, were quickly decreased after the mussel stocking. Interestingly, cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa in WW, not dominant species, were less removed. These results suggest that a freshwater bivalve U. douglasiae have a strategic potential to control dense hibernal diatom or green algae, rather than the cyanobacterial bloom in eutrophic water.
