To prevent the damages from earthquakes, various researches have been conducted around the world focusing on earthquake prediction and forecasting for several decades. Among various precursory phenomena, changes in groundwater level and quality are considered to be reliable for estimating the time of earthquake occurrence and its magnitude. In effects, some countries impacted by frequent earthquakes have established and operated the groundwater monitoring network for earthquake surveillance and prediction. In Korea, recently researches have begun for using groundwater monitoring techniques for earthquake prediction. In this paper, the groundwater monitoring networks of China, Japan, and the United States were reviewed focusing on the facilities and results of researches to deduce the tasks for earthquake prediction researches using groundwater monitoring techniques in Korea. In results, research needs are suggested in the implementation of groundwater monitoring networks for specifically earthquake surveillance with the real-time monitoring and the measures to quantify the degrees of abnormal changes in the relationship of distance from the earthquake epicenter.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticize. known as one of endocrine disruptors. The present study was carried out to investigate the ultrastructural changes of prepubertal rat testis after oral administration of DEHP in dosages of 1 g/kg, 3 g/kg or 5g/kg in 0.5 ml of corn oil daily for a week. This study revealed the DEHP inhibited the development of seminiferous tubules and induced structural changes on various cell types of the rat testis. Leydig cells, Sertoli cells and the developing germ cells seemed to be impaired their differentiations in terms of the structural changes of cell organelles. The increase of heterochromatin in amount were common features in all 3 cell types. In addition, the Leydig cells were characterized by the increases in number and size of lysosomes and the scantiness of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The Sertoli cells became irregular in nuclear envelope and the cytoplasm decreased, but the number of lysosomes and vacuoles seemed to be increased. There were some indications of necrosis of the germ cells, such as vacuolized nucleus and segregated nucleolus. These detrimental effects of DEHP on the rat testis were dose dependent and suppressed spermatogenesis decreasing developing germ cells in number and appearances. The effect of DEHP on ultrastructure of rat testis, as its known physiological functions, seems come from the decreased level of testosterone by Leydig cells, followed by the abnomalities of Sertoli cells and the germ cells.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of storage temperature(5$\^{C}$ and 25$\^{C}$) and time(1, 24, 48 and 72hours) on the retrogradation characteristics of mungbean starch gels by using differential scanning calorimeter, rapid visco-analyzer, $\beta$-amylase method, X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. Endothermic peaks of gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ were shifted to the lower temperature than those stored at 25$\^{C}$ and endothermic enthalpy of gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ was greater than that stored at 25$\^{C}$. DSC thermograms showed that the retrogradation rate of gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ was higher than that shored at 25$\^{C}$. The pasting properties of the gels such as peak viscosity and final viscosity increased with increasing storage time except the gels stored at 25$\^{C}$ for 72 hours and this trend was more apparent at the storage temperature of 5$\^{C}$. The digestibility measured by $\beta$-amylase method decreased with increasing storage time and this trend was more apparent at the storage temperature of 5$\^{C}$. X-ray diffraction patterns of the gels stored at 5$\^{C}$ showed more distinct peak than those stored at 25$\^{C}$, but no difference was detected by the storage time. The microstucture of all the gels showed a well developed three dimensional network The network structure of the gels stored at 25$\^{C}$ formed a thick matrix after 72 hours and those stored at 5$\^{C}$ from the early stage of storage.

Among many factors that affect the development of the talent of gifted children, the family factor that first finds and cultivates the talent of gifted children is quite important. The researches on the family of gifted children are mostly concentrated on physical environment out of the home environment, neglecting psychological environment. Although the recreational activity of family with gifted children considerably contributes to the emotional, intellectual and social development of gifted children themselves and to the improvement of life quality of the family members, the recreation of family with gifted children has not yet been studied. Thus, the objective of this research is to present basic materials for seeking the direction to educate parents and to support family with gifted children in order to encourage synergy effect in emotional and social growth of family with gifted children by surveying the property of recreation of family with gifted children. The result of result is as follows. First, the type of family with gifted children tends to be remarkably biased to 'family-oriented activity' and 'elf-development activity.' Second, verifying the significant level of motive for recreational activity of family with gifted children at the variables such as number of family members, parents' age, parents' education level, parents' occupation, etc, it was concluded that they were not statistically significant. The result of this research suggests that education and support for efficient recreation of family with gifted children is necessary to achieve healthy talent of gifted children.

Fluctuation of the yield of anchovy, Engraulis japonicus and species composition of by-catch were examined to clarify the effect of sea water temperature using samples by bag net off Wando, west southern of Korea from 1999 to 2001. In 1999 and 2001, sea water temperature were higher than 20$^{\circ}C$ from July to October, However that of 2000 was higher than 20$^{\circ}C$ from August to September owing to the strong tidal front formed in south western area of Korea from late spring to summer. Fish captured by bag net off Wando was composed of approximately 73 species which belonging to the juveniles and young stages. Among them, Gymnapogon urospilotus, Lagocephalus sp., Omobranchus elegans, Platycephalus indicus and Konosirus punctatus did not appeared in 2000 when tidal front were developed stronger than in 1999 and 2001. Yield of anchovy landed at fishery of Wando were 1,000 M/T in 1999, 620 M/T in 2000, 1,056 M/T in 2001 respectively and have a tendency to increase from July to August and reach to maximum from August to October.

A bionomic study of the coralligenous concretionary hard bottom in the northwestern Mediterranean was carried out at four stations : three stations(Arnette, Laurons, Auguette) under the influence of intense multisource pollution(gradient decreasing from north to south) in the Gulf of Fos, west of Marseille, France, and one control station(Moyade islet) in an unpolluted area near Riou island, east of Marseille. Along the increasing pollution gradient from the outer to the inner part of the Gulf of Fos, there is a qualitative and quantitative impoverishment of the fauna. On the whole, the species richness, the numerical abundance. and the species diversity index are all on the decrease. Accordingly, the innermost station in the Gulf of Fos(Auguette) is most heavily affected by the industrial, and to a lesser extent by the domestic wastes, from the nearby industrial complex and urban areas. The impact on the benthic coralligenous community of this serious alteration has been analysed in view of community composition, functional aspect, and ecological stocks. The faunal affinity between stations has been studied by means of the two coefficients : fourfold point correlation coefficient and Jaccard's community coefficient. The upper layer and inferior face communities of the coralligenous concretionary structures are also compared.

Every coastal area exhibits its own unique landscape owing to the combination of the natural and cultural processes. Coastal barrier islands well show the cultural aspects of American coastal landscapes. Some 47% of barrier island area was occupied by urban and built-up area in New Jersey, while some 5% in Georgia. Tourism-related development is back to in the mid 19C. in N.J. due to the closeness to heavily populated areas such as New York and Philadelphia. Developments without proper understanding the nature of coastal processes caused New Jerseyization, the destruction of the beauty or naturalness. It was mainly due to the lack of growth-control policies and the foresight for the future coast in the processes of legislation. North Carolina's islands experienced an increase of 269% in urbanized acreage between 1956 and 1976. However, N.C. exercised her wisdom to recover the naturalness of the coastal environs: all engineering structures are banned on the beaches. Nine out of 13 barrier islands in Georgia exist in the wilderness condition owing to her unique history. The remaining islands still experienced the least development. After the Civil War most of Georgian islands were owned by rich families and maintained as wilderness. In the 1970s most of the uninhabited islands were sold or donated to research institutes or governmental agencies.

Field survey on the variational characteristics of water quality and chlorophyll a concentraion were carried out at the 25 stations for four seasons in Kogum-sudo(Straits) southern coast of Korean Peninsula from Feburuary to October in 1993. We made an analysis on biological factor as chlorophyll a concentraion as well as physicio-chemical factors such as water temperature salinity sigma-t transparency dissolved oxygen(DO) chemical oxygen demand(COD) nutrients (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate) N/P ratio and suspended solid(SS). The waters in the Kogum-sudo were not stratified due to the tidal mixing. And the high productivity in photic layer were supported by high nutrients concentration from bottom waters. The high concen-trations of suspended solid in straits had a bad influence upon marine biology of nature and cultivations. In Kogum-sudo had a sufficient nutrients for primary productivity during a year. Especially phosphate and inorganic nitrogen were high the other side silicate was very low. The source of nutrients supply depend on rather mineralization of organic matters and input of seawater from outside than input of freshwaters from lands. Phytoplankton biomass as measured by chlorphyll a concentratiion was very high all the year round and it was controlled by the combination o f several environmental factors especially of phosphate in summer and dissolved nitrogen in other seasons.

대량생산체제를 위주로 했던 산업혁명 초기에는 원가계산방식이 비교적 수월하였다. 생산에 투입된 비용을 그대로 생산량으로 나누기만 하면 되었고 이 수치를 그대로 원가라고 간주하여도 기업이 존속하는데는 아무 영향이 없었다. 물론 이 때에도 간접비라는 것은 존재하였으나 그 비중이 미미했기에 이를 무시하여도 되었던 것이다. 그러나 그 때와 달리 지금은 기업환경은 다품종 소량생산, 고객 주문 생산 등의 다양한 형태로 변화되어 왔으며 유연생산시스템, 적시생산시스템 등과 같은 새로운 경영기법 및 생산관리 기법이 발달함에 따라 그간 무시되어 왔던 간접비가 오히려 직접비보다도 많아지는 현상이 생기게 되었다. 그래서 증가하는 간접비를 효과적으로 제품이나 서비스에 배부하여야 하는 필요성에서 연구가 시작되었고 그 결과로서 나온 원가계산방법이 활동기준원가계산시스템이다. 우리 나라에는 90년대 초반에 도입되어 여러기업이 시스템을 구축한 상태이며 이에 대한 사례를 연구한 논문도 발표되었다. 활동기준원가 계산시스템이 기존의 원가계산시스템보다 더 정교하다는 것은 많은 이미 많은 연구들에서 입증이 되었지만 그래도 실제 시스템의 구축에 있어서는 아직도 많은 연구과제가 남아있다. 본 연구는 시스템의 구축과정에서 핵심과정으로써 반드시 거쳐야 하는 활동분석단계에 관심을 두고 활동분석과정을 가능한 적은 비용으로 빠르게 수행하기 위한 방법을 모색하였다. 그 방법으로 선택한 것이 기존의 기업보유자료를 이용하여 활동분석을 수행하는 것으로 비록 활동분석데이터의 신뢰성에는 조금 부족한 면이 있을 수 있으나 기업보유자료가 활동분석과 개연성이 있음을 제시하고자 하였다. 한다.드가 전송한 패킷은 이전 셀 지역에 있는 에이전트가 새로운 셀 지역에 있는 이동 노드로 패킷을 재전송하여 전달하는 smooth 핸드오프 기능을 제공한다. 이전 셀 지역에 속한 외부 에이전트가 바인딩을 갱신하기 전에 송신 노드로부터 이동노드로 전달된 패킷이 있을 경우는 패킷을 저장하여 이후에 이동 노드의 위치 정보에 관한 바인딩 정보가 갱신되면 이러한 바인딩 정보에 따라 패킷을 재전송하는 버퍼기능도 제공한다. route optimization mobile IP는 기본적인 mobile IP에서의 복잡한 라우팅 문제를 해결하고, 핸드오프에서의 패킷 손실률을 최소화 한다.본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 smooth 핸드오프를 이용한 mobile IP의 성능을 분석한다. 일반적으로 데이터 트래픽 특성, 노드의 이동성, 바인딩 갱신시간, 버퍼관리 방법 등은 핸드오프 동안 mobile IP의 성능에 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 시뮬레이션 모델을 이용하여 다양한 트래픽 환경에서 위에 언급된 성능 파라미터들의 영향을 분석한다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용하여 mobile IP의 성능을 개선시키기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 제시하고자 한다.과로 여겨지며, 또한 혈청중의 ALT, ALP 및 LDH활성을 유의성있게 감소시키므로서 감잎 phenolic compounds가 에탄올에 의한 간세포 손상에 대한 해독 및 보호작용이 있는 것으로 사료된다.반적으로 홍삼 제조시 내공의 발생은 제조공정에서 나타나는 경우가 많으며, 내백의 경우는 홍삼으로 가공되면서 발생하는 경우가 있고, 인삼이 성장될 때 부분적인 영양상태의 불충분이나 기후 등에 따른

Lithium nickel oxide ($Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$) thin films have been prepared by the RF sputtering of lithiated nickel oxide target, where the film microstructure was controlled by the sputtering atmosphere $(Ar/O_2)$ and the substrate temperature ($T_s=50/230^{\circ}C$). From the transmission electron microscopic analysis, it is found that the most porous film with the grain size of $∼80\AA$ could be fabricated under the sputtering atmosphere of $P(O_2)=8{\times}10^2$ mbar with the $$T_s$=50^{\circ}C.$ In the optical and electrochemical studies, the$Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$ films exhibit a significant electrochromic property in association with the lithium insertion/deinsertion process. The amount of charge insertion ($Q_i$) and the optical density (OD) variation depend on the crystallinity of the film as well as its thickness, and for the $Li_{2x}Ni_{1-x}O$ film (170 nm thickness) prepared under $O_2$ atmosphere and $T_s=50^{\circ}C$, the OD could be increased up to ∼1.3 by the charge insertion with $Q_i=30\;mC/cm^2.$
