This study examined effects of health behaviors and sleep related factor on cognitive function in the elderly hypertensive patients. Data were collected through a face to face interview survey with structured questionnaire form 140 elderly with hypertension ($age{\geq}65years$) from February 5 to May 1, 2013. Research instruments included Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS) and Korean version the Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE-K). Cognitive function was negatively related to degradation in quality of sleep(r=-.29, p<.001). Sleep duration were negatively related to body mass index(r=-.18, p=.032) and degradation in quality of sleep(r=-.59, p<.001). Sleep duration was positively related to daytime sleepiness(r=.22, p=.008). Hierarchical multiple regression showed that age, education levels and living arrangement were associated with cognitive function(F=8.56, p<.001, Adjusted $R^2=.14$). After controlling for demographic characteristics and health behaviors, degradation in quality of sleep(${\beta}=-.27$, p=.008) was identified as significant predictors of cognitive function. This final model explained 17.0% of the cognitive function in the elderly hypertensive patients(F=4.09, p<.001). Therefore, as a strategy improving cognitive function of the elderly with hypertension, therapeutic intervention should be developed to improve quality of sleep considering age, education levels and living arrangement.

The influence of vertical eddy viscosity to the nonlinear interaction of tidal current and wind-induced current is examined using a point model. A zero-equation turbulence model is derived by simplifying the q$^2$-q$^2$1 turbulence model under the assumption that the generation of turbulence kinetic energy is balanced with its dissipation and is further modified to include the depth of frictional influence properly The zero-equation turbulence model is derived and the possibility of resonance in the presence of Coriolis effect is suggested. The amplitudes of tidal currents remain the same regardless of the applied wind stress, but the over-tide component is generated due to the nonlinear interaction of tidal current and wind-induced current. Significant changes in the vertical profile of wind-induced currents can occur according to tide-induced background turbulence. The turbulence model can give rise to misleading results when applied to the wind-driven circulation in the tide-dominated sea such as Yellow Sea unless the tide-induced background turbulence is adequately included in the parameterization of vertical eddy viscosity.

In a river bend the water surface is inclined by the centrifugal force toward the transverse section. If channel slope and flow rate increase, the gradient is rising generally. There are lots of the flood damage at the bends of mountain river because the flood water levels have exceeded frequently the levee levels which are added a free board to the design flood water level. Therefore the superelevation should be considered in designing the mountainous river bend. In present study it was proposed to estimate the superelevation at the bend of mountain river and the superelevation coefficient defined from multiplying the sub-factors. The values of the influence factors for the superelevation coefficient were suggested from analyzing the superelevation measured at the bends in Yangyangnamdae river and the hydraulic experiments in gravel-bed channel with a $90^{\circ}$ bend. The applicability of these methods to estimate the superelevation at the bends in mountain river was verified by the superelevation measured at the bend in Naerin river.

하천의 만곡부는 원심력으로 만곡 내측의 수면이 낮아지고 만곡 외측의 수면이 높아지는 수면 경사가 발생되며, 2차류 등의 발달로 흐름이 매우 복잡해진다. 특히 산지가 89%를 차지하는 강원도는 하천과 도로가 근접 발달되어 있어서 하천 만곡부의 편수위에 의한 수면상승과 세굴은 하천제방을 파괴시키고 도로 피해로 이어진다. 산지하천 만곡부 곳곳에 많이 노출되어 있는 암초는 홍수시 유수의 원활한 소통을 막고, 편수위 상승을 더욱 가중시키고 있다. 만곡부의 편수위에 대해서는 이론적으로나 실험적으로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 암초와 같은 장애물이 많고 경사가 급한 산지하천을 대상으로 편수위를 연구는 사례는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 양양남대천 중상류의 법수치리 면옥치천 합류 전 만곡부에서 홍수시 편수위를 측정하고, 내린천의 인제군 미산리와 홍천군 광원리 각 만곡부에 수위측정장치를 설치해 편수위를 조사하였다. 양양남대천 법수치 만곡부는 그림 1과 같이 하도 내에 있는 암반의 영향으로 편수위가 2.145m를 나타내었고, 내린천은 광원지점에서 최대 1.15m, 미산지점에서는 1.18m로 관측되었다. 특히 내리천 미산지점의 만곡접근부에서는 하도 내에 있는 암초장애물의 영향으로 편수위가 2.17m로 기록되었다. 산지하천 만곡부 수충부에 존재하는 암초 장애물은 편수위를 더욱 가중시킬 수도 있고 계방천 송전교와 같이 저감시키는 역할을 할수 있다는 것이 본 조사연구에서 확인되었다. 하도 내 암초 장애물은 산지하천 만곡부에서 매우 흔하게 발견되는 특성이므로 자연장애물이 편수위에 미치는 영향에 대하여 향후 지속적으로 연구하고자 한다.
