Two years-study with litter bag (mesh size : 0.4 mm, 1.7 m) was carried out from Nov., 1996 to Sept., 1998 to investigate the soil microarthropod community in the process of needle leaf secomposition of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) forest in Namsan and Kwangreung, where were supposed to be under different environmental selective pressures. Soil arthropoda collected from litter bags were sorted into suborders or higher taxa. Acari and Collembola were dominant groups, which were 61-68% and 27-35% of total soil arthropod in their numbers, respectively. Among Acari, Oribatida was major group, and Gamasida and Actinedida were minor groups. Abundance of Acari was a little higher in Kwangreng than in Namsan. But there was not significant difference between the arthropod community structure of Namsan and Kwangreng forest. And the different mesh sizes (0.4 mm and 1.7 mm) of litter bags could not make significantly different community structures in the litter bags. One taxon showed different pattern of population dynalics from another. But Oribatida, Gamasida and Collembola showed peak density in July, 1997. All taxa showed lower population densities in cold season i.e. Nov., Jan. and March. There was not significant difference in decomposition rate between Namsan and Kwangreng forest, and between mesh sizes of litter bags. % residual mass of needle leaf was about 40% at 22 months after litter fall.

Temperature-dependent traits of Laodelphax striatellus, rice stripe virus vector, were investigated at 10 constant temperatures (12.5, 15.0, 17.5, 20.0, 22.5, 25.0, 27.5, 30.0, 32.5, and 35.0 ± 1℃) under a fixed photoperiod (14/10-hr light/dark cycle). Unit functions for the oviposition model were estimated and implemented into a population dynamics model using DYMEX. The longevity of L. striatellus adults decreased with increasing temperature (56.0 days at 15.0℃ and 17.7 days at 35.0℃). The highest total fecundity (515.9 eggs/female) was observed at 22.5℃, while the lowest (18.6 eggs/female) was observed at 35.0℃. Adult developmental rates, temperature-dependent fecundity, age-specific mortality rates, and age-specific cumulative oviposition rates were estimated. All unit equations described adult performances of L. striatellus accurately (r² =0.94~0.97). After inoculating adults, the constructed model was tested under pot and field conditions using the rice-plant hopper system. The model output and observed data were similar up to 30 days after inoculation; however, there were large discrepancies between observed and estimated population density after 30 days, especially for 1^st and 2^nd instar nymph densities. Model estimates were one or two nymphal stages faster than was observed. Further refinement of the model created in this study could provide realistic forecasting of this important rice pest.

The relationships between river length and weir density versus fish species observed were analyzed for 210 local rivers in the Seomjin River system (SJR). A nonlinear exponential relationship between river length and number of fish species were observed. Model coefficient was 0.03 and coefficient of determinant (R²) was 0.59, meaning that about 59.0% of total variance was explained by river length variable. Predicted value by model and observed number of species showed a difference. About 110 local rivers (about 52.4%) showed lower value than predictive value. The average index of weir's density (IWD) in the SJR was about 2.7/km, which was significantly higher than that of other river basins. As a result of nonparametric 2-Kimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov (2-DKS) analysis based on the IWD, the threshold value affecting fish diversity was about 2.5/km (D_max=0.048, p<0.05). Above the threshold value, it means that the number of fish species would be decreased. In fact, the ratio of the expected species to the observed species was lowered to less than 70%, when the IWD is higher than the threshold value. To maintain aquatic ecological connectivity in future, it is necessary to manage IWD below the threshold value.

These studies were carried out to clarify the effects of black P.E. mulching and planting density on the growth and rhizome yield of Jihwang #1, a new high yielding Rehmannia glutinosa variety. Emergence ratio was higher 3.1％ in mulching than in non-mulching, but was not affected by planting density. Plant height and fresh leaf weight per plant were increased by mulching and at lower planting density. However, the fresh leaf weight per unit area was increased at higher planting density. Dry rhizome weight was increased 28% in mulching than that of non-mulching. Dry rhizome weight per plant was increased, but that of per unit area was decreased at lower planting density.

Differences in physicochemical characteristics of sediment and changes in density, height and dry matter of shoots along different water depths were investigated in the stands of Zizania latifolza populations of the littoral zone of Lake Paltangho, Korea. Any significant differences in sediment chemistry were not found along water depth, although sand content decreased slightly with increasing depth. Shoot density of Zizania latqolia decreased with increasing water depth. In shallower water, many of the short shoots died in the early growth stages. The morphology of shoots was taller and heavier in deeper water. The distributions of shoot heights became negatively skewed and leptokurtic as plants grew, and these changes occurred in the earlier growth stages in deeper water. The standing crop of shoots increased with increasing water depth. These results suggest that Zizania lattfolia has a growth strategy for adjustment to deep water through decreasing shoot density and increasing height.

통전활성 소결법을 이용하여 단상의 세라믹스(PSZ) 및 금속(NiCrAlY)과 PSZ/NiCrAlY 복합체를 각 소결온도에서 제조하였으며, 이에 대한 특성평가는 개량형 소형펀치 시험법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 복합체의 밀도 및 경도에 미치는 소결온도의 영향은 NiCrAlY의 부피분율 증가에 따라 감소되었으며, 중간조성에서의 밀도 및 경도는 연속적인 변화를 나타내었다. 파괴인성의 변화에서는 60vol%-NiCrAlY 이상의 조성에서 급격한 증가를 나타내었으며, 짧은 소결시간 및 빠른 승온속도 등 통전활성 소결법의 장점에 의해 단상의 PSZ에서도 10 MPa.m$^{1}$2/ 의 높은 파괴인성 값을 얻을 수 있었다. PSZ/NiCrAlY 복합체에서의 특성은 소결온도와 NiCrAlY의 부피분율에 의해 지배적으로 영향을 받았으며, 단상의 PSZ은 전형적인 취성거동을 나타내었고 80vol%-NiCrAlY 까지의 복합체에서는 부분적인 취성 및 소성거동을 함께 나타내었다. 각 소결체에서 최고의 특성을 나타내고 소결온도는 단상의 PSZ 경우인 140$0^{\circ}C$에서부터 단상의 NiCrAlY 경우인 120$0^{\circ}C$까지 최대 20$0^{\circ}C$의 차이를 나타내었으며, PSZ과 NiCrAlY의 조성비에 따라서 연속적인 변화를 보였다.

중력류는 두 유체 사이에서 물질의 종류 또는 온도차로 인한 밀도 차이에 의해 발생되는 유체의 흐름을 말하며, 자연환경에서는 저수지에서의 중층탁류, 사막에서의 모래 폭풍, 하구에서의 염수쐐기 등이 그 예이다. 여름철에 강우가 집중되는 우리나라는 홍수에 의한 범람, 침수 등이 발생할 뿐만 아니라 댐이나 하천, 호수 등에 흙탕물이 유입되어 중간층에 정체하는 중층탁류에 의한 피해가 자주 발생하고 있다. 과거에 중층탁류는 일시적인 현상에 불과하였으나 오늘날에는 인공적으로 형성된 정체성 호수나 하천에서 장기간 체류하여 생태계의 교란과 수질 악화를 초래하고 있다. 중층탁류에 의한 피해를 저감시키기 위해서는 본래 자연 상태의 하천이나 호수와 같이 온도분포가 비선형적으로 성층화 된 상태에서 탁수가 유입되어 중층탁류가 형성되는 과정과 흐름 특성을 이해하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 중력류 흐름 해석을 위한 실험 장치를 개발하였다. 실험 장치 중 수조의 제원은 1200 $700{\times}300mm$이며, 수조 상부에는 가열장치를 설치하였고, 수조 하부에는 냉각장치를 설치하였다. 이들 장치들을 가동하여 깊이에 따른 자연현상에서의 비선형적인 온도 단면을 재현한다. 수리 실험방법은 깊이 방향으로 온도에 따라 비선형적으로 성층화 된 유체 내로 경사가 있는 판을 따라 수조내의 성층화된 유체의 중간 온도 혹은 밀도를 가진 유체를 침입시킨다. 침입유체는 성층화된 유체 내에서 초기에는 중력에 의해 운동량을 갖고 경사면을 따라 일정한 속도로 흘러내려 간다. 이후 바닥으로 하강 한 후 부력에 의해 상승하여 동일한 밀도층의 위치에서 횡방향으로 전파하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 이와 같이 비선형적으로 성층화된 유체 내에서의 침입 중력류의 흐름 특성을 실험적으로 관측하고 분석한다.

Although the relative density is an important factor showing mechanical properties of granular soils, the methods for its estimation have not been satisfactorily standardized. Many researchers have proposed various methods to determine max, and min, dry density, but the results, especially for max, dry density, show significant differences. In this study, a simple and practical method of evaluating the max, relative density was proposed, which could give reliable results in comparison with conventional methods. The experiment was carried out by varying the number of blows and the layers of the sample for each mold and the results were compared with those of Bowles method.

A study was performed to examine the effects of UV-disinfected reclaimed water on microorganism concentration during rice culture. Four treatments were used and each one was triplicated to evaluate the changes of microorganism concentrations: stream water irrigation (STR), biofilter effluent irrigation (BE), UV-disinfected water irrigation with dose of 6 mW ${\cdot}$ s $cm{-2}$ (UV-6), and UV-disinfected water irrigation with dose of 16 mW ${\cdot}$ s $cm{-2}$ (UV-16). The indicator microorganisms of interest were total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC), and E. coli. The biofilter effluent from 16-unit apartment sewage treatment plant was used as reclaimed water and flowthrough type UV-disinfection system was used. Concentrations of indicator microorganisms in the treatment plots ranged from $10^2$ to $10^5$ MPN/100 mL during 24 hours after irrigation in May and June, where initial irrigation water for transplanting reparation was biofilter-effluent without UV-disinfection. It implies that initial irrigation using only non-disinfected reclaimed water for puddling in paddy field can be health-concerned because of more chance of farmer's physical contact with elevated concentration of microorganisms. The concentrations of microorganisms varied widely with rainfall, and treatments using UV-disinfected water irrigation showed significantly lower concentrations than others and their levels were within the range of paddy rice field with normal surface water irrigation. The mean concentrations of STR and BE during growing season were in the range of 4 ${\times}\;10^3$ MPN/100 mL for TC, and 2${\times}\;10^3$ MPN/100 mL for FC and E, Coli, While mean concentrations of UV-S and UV-lS were less than 1${\times}\;10^3$ MPN/100 mL for all the indicator microorganisms. Overall, UV-disinfection was thought to be feasible and practical alternative for agricultural reuse of secondary level effluent in Korea.
