The wireless communication channel different speed by depth of water or salt and it is influenced by multi-path according underwater. In the paper, MIMO(Multi-input-Multi-Output) system used turbo Equalizer combining Equalizer with Turbo codes for data rates by multi-path channel. we proposed and simulated that the Decision-Directed method used for phase offset. The simulation of proposed method show that the bit-error rate performance can be severely affected by phase errors.

The hydrophones is mounted in many applications on a vibrating surface and functions as an underwater acoustic signal receiver without sensing the vibrations from the mounting surface. However, their performance is usually degraded by the interference of exterior noises such as acoustic cavitation in water stream, host structural vibration in the hull, and propeller motions. This paper describes the design and evaluation of a self noise suppressing hydrophones which shows very poor sensitivity to the external noises, first, effects of the external noise on the its receiver performance is simulated with finite element method(FEM). Second, the geometrical variations are implemented on the original structure that include additional air pockets and acoustic walls which work as acoustic shied or scatter of the noises. The results show that the effect of the external noise is the most significant when it is applied near to the bottom of the side wall of the hydrophones. The transverse noise induced by the outside water flow is isolated most effectively when a thin compliant (damping) layer combined with two air pockets is inserted to the circumference of the nose. Noise level is reduced about fifty nine percent of that of the original structure.

A Block-Time-Bounded Time Division Multiple Access (BTB-TDMA) medium access control protocol, which estimates the propagation delay of nodes according to their location and moving velocity information, has been proposed for underwater acoustic networks. BTB-TDMA provides nodes with their transmission schedules by a time block that is a time unit, newly designed for BTB-TDMA. In this paper, we investigate how the receiver collision, that is induced by the asymmetry between node's uplink and downlink propagation delay due to its mobility, affects the performance of BTB-TDMA. To do this, we analytically obtain the collision rate, the channel access delay, and the channel utilization by considering the asymmetry of propagation delay. Then, simulations are extensively performed with respect to the length of a time block by varying the number of nodes, the network range, and the node's velocity. Thus, the simulation results can suggest performance criteria to determine the optimal length of a time block which minimizes the collision rate and concurrently maximizes the channel access delay and the channel utilization.

Increased extreme weather conditions have led to a rise in flood damage to domestic rivers in Korea. This in turn has caused increased discharge through the structures and foundations of submerged weirs, leading to piping phenomena that can destroy these weirs. Therefore, extensive research into increased infiltration rates is necessary for the management and design of submerged weirs. In this study, seepage discharges were calculated and comparatively analyzed for weirs by varying the depth of the stratum and the length and location of sheet piles using numerical analysis, the fragment method, and the Polubarino-Kochina method. The results showed that the seepage discharge decreased as S/T increased and tended to increase as X/b increased. Changes in the length of the sheet pile had a greater impact on the infiltration rate than changes in the position of the sheet pile. Therefore, it is considered that installing longer sheet piles upstream can decrease the seepage discharge, enabling a safer design against piping in the weir design.

Extensive monitoring of aquatic organisms in rice paddy fields has been difficult due to laborious sampling methods such as quadrat sampling using a hand net. This study aimed to analyze temporal and regional community compositions of aquatic organisms collected with a less time-consuming sampling method. This method involved using submerged funnel traps in rice paddy fields. Submerged funnel traps were useful for capturing taxa containing species that are indicative of environmental changes and highly mobile species that feed on waterbirds. Fifteen taxa including Ampullariidae, Cobitidae, Chironomidae, Hydrophilidae and Dytiscidae determined the community compositions. Among the major taxa, only Chironomidae resistant to environmental disturbances represented temporal variations of aquatic organism communities in rice paddy fields. Ampullariidae, Dytiscidae, and Hydrophilidae, which are prone to be affected by anthropogenic activities, differed among regions.

This study introduces a densification technique of controlled low strength materials (CLSM) made with coal ashes by pump discharge pressure. Based on a small-scale laboratory test results, unit weight of CLSM around discharge pipe is greater than that of relatively some distant area from discharge pipe. It is also found that densification of CLSM depends on not only mixture rate of pond ash but also fly ash and location of discharge pipe.

To evaluate the effects of submerged aerators installed at Chudong and Muneui areas in Daechung Reservoir on improvement of water quality and reduction of algal bloom, the water quality was monitored at the effected and control areas at the time of operation. The water temperature and concentrations of dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen in depth at the effected and control areas were not different each other, indicating the submerged aerators at these areas are not effective for circulation of water body and reduction of nutrients. In warmer season, the concentrations of total phosphorus in deep water, which was probably released from contaminated sediment or inflowed from watershed, was high. To decide the operation of aerators in this season, the concentration of total phosphorus in water should be considered because the dispersed phosphorus by operation of aerators can enhance the algal growth.

To assess the noise stress of shrimp farms reasonably, we need a noise observation data underneath the waters first. But, it did not collect yet and airborne noise transfers to water noise wave using transition calculation. In case of construction of solar energy without noise stress protection wall, the threshold values (140 dB) from circumstance of underwater noise exceed within 17m at $S_2$ (15m away from source) and $S_3$ (15m away from source). Considering additional way to decrease the construction noise, all cases including minimum mode(Case A), general mode(Case B), and maximum mode(Case C) meet the guideline of underwater noise for fish farms. In case of the underwater noise could affect the fish farm, it is necessary to understand about farming species such as shrimp, monitoring of present states, and protection way under the construction.

우리나라에서는 최근 이상기후로 인해 평균 기온이 높아지고, 여름철에 집중된 강우 특성으로 인하여 하천의 하도와 하도내 식생영향에 따른 수위-유량관계곡선식의 변동성이 높아지고 있다. 하도 내 식생과 하천의 흐름은 서로 영향을 주기 때문에 하도내 식생은 하천 흐름 특성에 핵심적인 요소로 볼 수 있다. 하도의 변동성은 단면 측량 등으로 확인 할 수 있으나, 하도내 식생은 주변 환경에 따라 매년 다르게 나타나기 때문에 이에 대한 모니터링이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 유역에 위치한 전주시(서천교)관측소를 대상으로 2017년~2018년, 2020년의 하도 내 수중식생과 하안 영역의 식생 성장과 소멸 및 식생사주의 모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 수위-유량관계 변화를 분석하였다. 2017년은 하도 내 식생의 성장과 소멸에 따라 저수위 구간에서 다수의 기간분리가 발생하였으며, 중수위 구간은 기간분리가 발생하지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 2018년과 2020년은 하도 내 수중식생의 성장과 소멸로 인항 저수위 기간분리 이외의 하안영역의 식생 성장과 소멸에 따른 통수능 변동으로 인하여 중수위 기간분리가 추가로 발생하였고, 식생사주에 대한 지속적인 모니터링을 통하여 중수위 구간분리를 추가 검토하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 하도 내의 식생영향에 따른 유량측정성과를 확보하였으며 확보한 유량측정성 통한 신뢰도 높은 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였고 이를 통해 생산된 유량자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Humic substances present in landfill leachates were extracted and their characteristics were analyzed with respect to landfilling age as a basic study to evaluate the effect of humic substances on the transport and transformation of other pollutants in pollution plume contaminated by landfill leachate. Element analysis of the extracted humic substances were performed. The information on the functional groups of the humic substances molecules were obtained from the spectroscopic analysis using UV-visible, FT/IR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The structural characteristics of the humic substances were also analyzed by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy. From the results of the analyses it was found that the structure of the humic substances present in landfill leachates was more aliphatic than aromatic relative to other common humic substances extracted from natural soils and water. The results indicate that the degree of humification of the humic substances were relatively low. The degree of humification, however, was increased as the landfilling age was increased.
