In order to identify the spawning characteristics of Barbatula nuda, seven surveys were conducted from March to May 2021 in the Sangcheoncheon Stream, a tributary of the Bukhangang River, Korea. During the survey period, 890 individuals were collected, and the sex ratio of female to male was 1 : 1.34. B. nuda spawned 15 March to 24 April, when temperature was 12~15.7℃. Total length of the individual with minimum maturity was 56.7 mm, and it was a 1-year-old. Spawning was observed from individuals with a total length of 80.5 mm more, and it was 2-year-old. The total length at 50% group maturity was 67.2 mm. As a result of injecting 10 IU/g of HCG hormone into B. nuda, about 15 hours later, spawning behavior in which the male wrapped around the body of the female in a circle was observed. After spawning, females and males rested, and fertilized eggs were feed by individuals not participating in spawning.

The erosion, suspension, and transport of sediment frequently occur in the coastal waters and estuarine. These processes often generate the so-called fluid mud layer, which is defined as a high-concentration aqueous suspension of fine grained sediment (> 10 g/l), consisting mainly of silt and clay-size particles. Therefore the high-resolution ultrasound is mostly used to detect or monitor the fluid mud layer. Because the sound attenuation tends to increase rapidly with the suspended sediment concentration, it is necessary to consider the accurate attenuation correction to estimate the backscattering strengths from the suspended sediment layers. In this paper, the volume backscattering strengths with various suspended sediment concentrations were measured using 5-MHz ultrasound signal in a small-scale water tank. The sound attenuation due to the viscosity and scattering from suspended sediment particles was predicted by the Richard's model and applied to the sonar equation to estimate the volume backscattering strengths from the suspended sediment concentrations. For the case that the additional attenuation was not considered, the volume backscattering strengths increased to the concentration of 20 g/l, and over this point, the backscattering strengths were roughly constant. However, for the case that the attenuation due to the suspended sediment concentration was considered, the backscattering strengths increased with the concentration.

이온산란 분광법(ISS: Ion Scattering Spectroscopy)은 표면 원자의 구조를 러더포드 후방산란법(RBS: Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy) 등과 같이 실공간에 대하여 직접 정보를 얻는 방법이다. 그 중에서도 산란각도를 $180^{\circ}$로 고정하여 산란이온 검출기를 설치한 직충돌 이온산란 분광법(ICISS: Impact Collision Ion Scattering Spectroscopy)은 산란된 이온의 궤적이 입사궤도와 거의 동일하기 때문에 산란궤적의 계산이 간단해지고, 최외층 뿐만 아니라 표면에서 수 층 깊이의 원자구조의 해석이 가능하다. 또한 비행시간형(TOF: Time-Of-Flight) 분석기를 채택하여 산란 이온 및 중성원자를 동시에 측정하면 입사 이온의 표면에서의 중성화에 관계 없이 산란 신호를 얻으므로 표면 원자의 결합 특성에 영향 받지 않고 사용할 수 있다. 본고에서는 ICISS의 원리, 장치, 측정방법 등을 소개한 제1편 및 반도체 표면구조, 금속/반도체 계면 등의 해석에 관하여 기술한 제2편에 이어서 세라믹 재료의 표면 원자 구조, 세라믹 박막의 원자 구조, 흡착 기체의 구조, 원소의 편석 등에 관한 연구 사례를 소개하고자 한다.

Fluctuation statistics of scattering strength are not only important because they impact the performance of active sonar systems, but also because they may provide insight into the major scattering process. In this article, analysis of the statistical characteristics of bottom backscattering, measured in shallow water, are presented. The slowly moving experimental sonar was operated at 30kHz to gather data over the bottom. Spatial and temporal correlation functions of the signal amplitudes were measured. The distribution function and probability of false alarm function of the detected envelope of widebeam and narrowbeam signals were measured. An attempt was made to compare the results with existing theoretical models. The result suggests that the statistical characteristics of bottom backscattering fluctuation of moving source is differ from that of fixed source.

본 논문에서는 풀밭으로 덮힌 지역의 초고주파 대역 편파별 후방 산란을 분석하는데 있어서 Radiative Transfer 이론의 첫 번째 해를 이용하였다. 풀밭지역에서의 잎은 사각형 형태의 resistive sheet 으로 모델화 시키고, 잎의 크기와 방향성은 불규칙적으로 흩어져 있다고 가정하였다. 땅에서의 흙의 수분 함유량과 표면 거칠기도 고려하였다. 이러한 지역에서의 후방 산란 계수는 풀밭 지역과 레이더 요소들에 따라 각각 다른 계산 결과를 나타낸다. 측정은 15 GHz 대역의 레이더 시스템을 사용하여 풀 층에서의 산란 계수를 측정하고 풀 층에서의 산란 모델을 이용하여 계산 결과와 측정값을 비교하였고 이 모델을 이용하여 Visual-Basic을 이용한 사용자 프로그램인 TSM(Total Scattering Model)을 제작하였다.

Acoustic experiments were performed with Zostera marina to study the characteristics of backscattering of seagrass living in the bottom interface. Field experiments were conducted in the Dongdae man, Namhae for day and night to consider the effects of air-bubble from photosynthesis of seagrass. The multi-frequency (30$\~$120 kHz) responses were measured and the distributions of back scattering strength due to the movement of seagrass were Presented by PDF (probability density function) at 120 120 kHz. The results were shown both the frequency dependence and diurnal variation of the backscattering strength between day and night. This diurnal variation may be caused by the amount of oxygen in dissolved bubbles formed by Photosynthesis of seagrass.

The acoustical scattering characteristics of a target are influenced by the material properties and structural characteristics of the target, which are critical information for acoustic detection and identification of underwater target. In particular, for thin elastic target, unique scattered signals are generated around the target by the Lamb wave. In this paper, the results of scattered signal measurement of aluminum spherical shell in the water tank using the stepped frequency sweep sine signal are presented. In particular, the scattering of the water-filled aluminum spherical shell is compared with that of the air-filled one both theoretically and experimentally. The difference of the scattered signals are analyzed using the pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution in terms of average frequency, frequency distribution, and energy of the scattered signal. The result shows that all observed parameters increased when the aluminum sphere was water-filled, and it is well matched to the theoretical expectation.

Laboratory measurements were performed in a uni-algae medium Cochlodinium polykrikoides (Phytoplankton, dinoflagellates) using an Underwater Ultrasound $(5\~15\;MHz)$ to study Characteristics of Acoustic Backscattering of Harmful algae. In an effort to detect the harmful algal scatterers with population density of less than 300 cells/ml that corresponds to the precaution stage of red tide, backscattered signals from various scatterer-density samples were obtained and analyzed. Correlations between volume backscattering strength (Sv) and population density (cells/ml) of scatterers in the medium have been investigated. Comparison of Volume Backscattering Strengths calculated with the fluid-sphere model [1] and the measured values showed an agreement.

A method is proposed to characterize single-fiber composite interphases from the frequency-domain characteristics of scattered ultrasonic waves, and its feasibility is investigated theoretically. It has been shown that the locations and magnitudes of the peaks and valleys in the frequency domain are affected significantly by the interphase properties, which may indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Although the frequency-domain behavior is basically associated with the resonance of the fiber-interphase system, it is not dominantly affected by the scatterer's resonance unlike that in the case of acoustic wave scattering. Therefore, the conventional acoustic resonant scattering theory is not directly applicable to the characterization of composite interphases. In order to solve the inverse problem of predicting the interphase properties from the frequency-domain characteristics of the ultrasonic scattered waves, an artificial neural network has been constructed. This approach has demonstrated reasonable accuracy in most cases considered in this study.
