The purpose of this study is to investigate the properties of Menyanthes trifoliata habitat in coastal lagoons. To characterize plant composition in the habitats in the lagoon, the plot sampling method was applied. The depths of water and floating mat were measured. Surface water quality factors including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), and total dissolved solids (TDS) were measured in the sites. Phosphate, nitrate, ammonium, and major cations were measured in laboratory. The wetland has 78 taxa of wetland plants. The average coverage and density of M. trifoliata was 62.6% and $71.2/m^2$, respectively and Phragmites australis is important associate in Sunyoodam lagoon. The average depths of floating mats were 26.5cm in M. trifoliata and 68.9cm in the P. australis-M. trifoliata communities, and the water depth below the mat was 106.5cm and 17.7cm, respectively. The values of pH, DO, EC and TDS in the water were 5.06, 46.1%, 59.4 ${\mu}s/cm$, and 29.3 mg/L, respectively. The concentrations of phosphate, nitrate, and ammonium showed 47.2, 9321, and 15.9 ${\mu}g/L$, respectively. The concentrations of Ca, K, Na, and Mg had 11.1, 1.5, 15.1, and 11.3 mg/L, respectively. The habitats of M. trifoliata in the lagoon corresponds to a kind of lowland communities in Hewett's classification. To conserve the habitats of M. trifoliata in Sunyoodam lagoon, the supply of open water area, the construction of observation deck, and the block of inflow from the surrounding paddy fields are needed in the future.

제방 비탈면 보호방법 중에서 식생매트를 사용하는 방법은 제방의 보호와 함께 자연친화적이면서 생태계의 보전 측면에서 유리하고 이와 아울러 심미적 효과와 비용의 적절성 등의 요건을 만족하기 때문에 최근 국내 자연형 하천정비에서는 다양한 종류의 식생매트들이 빈번히 사용되고 있다. 하지만 식생매트로 인한 제방의 비탈면 보호 효과에 대해서는 아직까지 정성적으로 분석된 예가 미흡하여 이에 관한 연구가 시급히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 비탈면을 보호하는 비탈덮기는 생태계와 경관 등의 고려도 중요하지만 그보다 먼저 유수에 의한 파괴가 발생하지 않아야 한다. 따라서 제방의 비탈면 보호 효과가 다른 재료에 비해 상대적으로 취약할 수 밖에 없는 식생매트의 경우 적용범위와 한계를 명확히 하여야 잘못된 적용으로 인한 재해를 막을수 있을 것이다. 근래 들어 지역을 가리지 않는 국지성 폭우로 인한 홍수가 점차로 확대되고 있는 국내 상황을 고려할 때에도 식생매트의 한계와 적용범위의 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술연구원 안동 하천실험센터 호안블록 시험구간에서 하류 10m 지점에서 시작하는 20m 구간에 두 종류의 식생매트를 교대로 설치하여 각각의 식생매트에 관한 파괴실험을 수행하였다. 두 종류의 식생매트 모두 코코넛 섬유를 원료로 사용하는 제품이며, 식생매트의 파괴 실험은 식생활착 이전의 상황을 재현하여 수행하였다. 이는 통상적으로 식생 활착 이전의 식생매트가 제방 비탈면을 보호하는 효과가 현저히 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있기 때문에 이에 맞추어 본 실험에서는 식생매트의 자체의 단점과 한계를 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실험 결과 두 종류의 식생매트는 모두 침수시 부력으로 인한 부유 현상과 식생매트 틈세 흐름으로 인한 기반층의 세굴 현상을 발견할 수 있었으며, 이러한 상황에서 식생매트를 고정하는 앵커가 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 식생매트가 기반 토층에서 분리되어 파괴가 발생하는 유량조건은 각각 식생매트에 따라 서로 다르게 나타났는데, 이 또한 매트를 고정하는 앵커의 특성 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the hydroelastic behavior of a mat-type large floating structure is analyzed in time domain by using mode superposition method. The time-memory function is estimated by Fourier transforming the wave damping coefficients, which are computed by a higher-order boundary element method based on potential theory. Meanwhile, the structural response is obtained by time integrating the eigenmodes of the structure. Numerical examples are made for three test cases on the scaled model of a mat-type large floating structure ; weight pull-up case, weight drop case and weight moving case. In all three cases, the numerical results coincide well with experimental data.

The study was carried out for the preparation and evaluation of a buoyant hydrogel matrix (BHM), which is buoyant in a neutral or in pH 2.0 buffer solution, by the aspects of buoyancy, swelling, and drug release. Physical mixtures of HPC and CP in various molar ratio were employed as a mucoadhesive polymer which swells and controls the rate of drug release. Anhydrous citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in the molar ratio of 1:3 were employed as effervescing agents which provide a buoyancy for the mucoadhesive polymeric matrix. The buoyancy in vitro was expressed as both floating time$(T_{fl})$ and surfing time$(T_{sf})$, which are the time required for floating from the bottom to the surface of the medium and the time to keep the floated state at the surface of medium during release studies, respectively. A close relationship was observed between the buoyancy and the amount of effervescing agent added. $T_{fl}$ of the buoyant hydrogel matrices were decreased to about 10 seconds linearly with increasing the amount of effervescing agent in the range of 5 to 15%. $T_{sf}$ of the buoyant hydrogel matrices were varied from 1 to 3 hr depending on the amount of effervescing agent. The swelling was observed by changes in diameter of the buoyant hydrogel matrices in distilled water or acidic buffer solution, resulted in dependences on pH and the amount of effervescing agents. The release of hydrochlorothiazide from the buoyant hydrogel matrices were followed by apparent zero-order kinetics, while the buoyant hydrogel matrices were floated at the surface and maintaining their swollen shapes.

As we can see at the oil spill occident on the coast of Taean, the viscosity of the spilled oil becomes thicker as time goes by. It becomes waste oil with the form of tar. It moves to other areas following a tide. When the temperature of the water goes up, the viscosity becomes lighter and forms oil film. It repeats the process spreading to and polluting extensive areas where the tide reaches. People have used hand nets to collect waste oil of tar at the sea. But it is very difficult for them to collect the tar type waste oil spread on large areas before it reaches to the beach. This paper tried to find a way to collect the tar type waste oil efficiently. It used absorption mat of boom type that uses the attachment characteristics of the tar type waste oil and floating waste recovery device of net type. It tested the possibility of using the devices at the oil spill accident on the beach of Taean. The result showed that net type recovery device was much more efficient in collecting the waste oil in short time than the hand net system of people. It confirmed that the net type recovery device could be used to collect tar type waste oil.

One of the characteristics of fluvial river channel with sand bed-material is the existence of movable sand bars not occupied with vegetation. However, sand bars at the Hahoe's reach of the Nakdong River showing a double-meandering channel has been changed into expanding vegetation area. Moreover, sand material, in recent years, has stopped moving to downstream in channel and the number and area of bare bars which did not occupied by vegetation have been decreased. In order to find out the mechanism, we carried out the channel characteristics surveys such as hydro-geomorphologic, soil physio-chemical and vegetation surveys were conducted twice on autumn season in 2005,2006. The results so far achieved showed that the reduced discharge of transported sediment and duration of dry season might be critical factors for the spread of luxuriant vegetation. The vegetation area was significantly expanded by floods exceeding the subsequent dominant flow discharge. Furthermore, the expansion of vegetation area was highly correlated with the supply of organic matter, nutrients and alteration of soil texture by sediment deposition during the flooding event.
