On Aug 18, 2013, Sakurajima volcano in Japan erupted on a relatively large-scale. Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) had used to detect volcanic ash in the surrounding area on the next day of this eruption. The geomagnetic variation has been analyzed using geomagnetic data from Cheongyang observatory in Korea and several geomagnetic observatories in Japan. First, we reconstruct geomagnetic data by principal component analysis and conduct semblance analysis by wavelet transform. Secondly, we minimize the error of solar effect by using wavelet based semblance filtering with Kp index. As a result of this study, we could confirm that the geomagnetic variation usually occur at the moment of Sakurajima volcano eruption. However, we cannot rule out the possibilities that it could have been impacted by other factors besides volcanic eruption in other variation's cases. This research is an exceptional study to analyze geomagnetic variation related with abroad volcanic eruption uncommonly in Korea. Moreover, we expect that it can help to develop further study of geomagnetic variation involved in earthquake and volcanic eruption.

Using shear wave velocity is more reasonable to estimate strength and integrity of rock compared with using compressional wave. It is often ambiguous to pick the dominant frequency caused by torsional wave when evaluating $V_S$ of rock specimen from FFRC method. It is also sometimes ambiguous to pick the first arrival point of S wave compared with P wave in the signals acquired from ultrasonic velocity method. Otherwise, the procedure of evaluating $V_P$ using ultrasonic velocity method and $V_L$ using FFRC method is relatively stable. Through the relationship between elastic modulus, poisson's ratio and $V_S$ can be obtained from $V_P$, $V_L$. Applicability was checked using model specimens having different material property and length and rock specimens sampled in mine area, and usefulness of proposed procedure was verified.

Recently river water pollution in Korea is given rise to serious problem in aspect of crop production, drinking well, water contamination and etc. Under these urgent situations, it is prime importance to protect water resources from pollutants. An environmental isotope survey of the groundwater form the shallow alluvial and the underlying crystalline rock aquifer of the Han River Basin has been undertaken, Analysis of the data has I) confirmed the hypothesis that the groundwater from the metropolitan area is recharged from the river whereas that form the non-urbanized region of the Basin is replenished by the infiltrating precipitation; ii) shown that crystalline rock aquifers are recharged by the ground water form the overlying alluvium. Old groundwater is a group of wells with tritium values in the range of 0 to 2 TU. These low values indicate that the water sampled was recharged much ealier, at least a few decades, than the other groundwater samples of higher tritium content. The low values in this region may, in fact, reflect the effect of the impermeable clay layers which impede infilteration from the surface. Stable isotope evidence confirmed that a recharge in the karst area occurs at a significantly greater elevation than that to the alluvial aquifer. An analysis of the tritium level collected over an annual cycle suggests that the residence time of groundwater is probably not more than a few months. There does not appear to be any correlation between the trace level of Zn, Mn and Pb in the groundwater and the mechanism of the recharge.

강우기에 하천 유역에서의 탁수 발생은 대상 지역의 토양, 토지 이용형태와 식생 분포, 강우의 강도, 토지의 경사 등에 따라 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에는 토지의 이용형태에 따른 강우 시 탁수 발생량을 평가하고자 용담댐 유역의 탁수 발생특성 조사를 실시하였다. 2005년의 조사지점은 유역면적이 가장 작은 주자천 유역과 구량천, 금강본류를 대상으로 하였다. 구량천과 금강본류는 용담댐 유역을 구성하는 가장 큰 두 소유역이며 다를 지역에 비해 오염원이 많아 용담댐수질에 많은 영향을 주는 하천이다. 현장조사는 6월 27일부터 7월 3일 까지 실시하였다. 2007년 조사 대상 지역은 주자천 유역의 주천교 지점과 금강본류 유역의 월곡교 지점을 선정하였다. 현장조사는 6월21${\sim}$22일, 9월14${\sim}$15일 2회에 걸쳐 실시하였으며 시간별 현장 탁도 측정 및 시료 채취를 통한 분석을 병행하였다. 2005년에 실시한 조사결과 오염원이 많고 유역이 넓은 천천은 7월 1일에 유입량이 최대로 348.16CMS였으며, 그날 탁도는 오후 2시 10분조사시에 최대 2060NTU를 나타냈다. 구량천은 같은날 조사를 실시하여 유량은 최대 200.33CMS였고, 최대 탁도는 763NTU를 나타냈다. 반면 주자천에서는 최대 탁도가 98.4NTU를 나타내 가장 탁도가 높은 금강본류와는 약 13배의 차이를 나타냈다. 2007년 1차 조사는 6월 21${\sim}$22일에 걸쳐 이루어 졌다. 주천교 지점은 시간최대 강우 17mm가 발생한 시점에 최대 92NTU의 탁도를 나타내었고 그 이후 감소하여 20NTU이하의 탁도를 유지하였다. 반면, 월곡교 지점은 시간최대 23mm의 강우가 발생하였고, 최대 탁도는 3,610NTU에 도달하였으며 1,000NTU이상의 고탁도가 6시간 이상 유지된 후, 시간이 지남에 따라 점차 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 미개발지역인 주천교 지점의 경우 강우에 의한 탁수 발생이 상대적으로 적음을 보여주고 있으며 월곡교 지점과 같이 개발로 인해 노출된 토양의 경우 강우에 의해 쉽게 침식이 일어나 고탁도의 탁수를 발생시킴을 보여준다. 그러나 주천교지점에서 2005년에 조사한 자료와 비교해 보면 2007년이 적은 강우임에도 불구하고 탁도는 높게 나타난 결과를 나타내고 있으며 이는 토지이용의 고도화에 따른 영향으로 판단되었다. 연구 결과 유역내에서 탁수 발생은 같은 강도의 강우에 있어서 큰 차이를 보이고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 강우기에 저수지에서의 탁수 문제의 해결을 위해서는 상류 유역의 탁수 발생원 관리가 중요함을 보여주고 있으며, 토지 이용 형태에 따른 토양 침식 방지 대책이 강우기의 댐 내 탁도 문제를 개선할 수 있는 중요한 방안으로 판단된다.

The characteristics, intensity and direction of groundwater.surface water interactions are controlled by groundwater head gradients, hydraulic conductivity and by the riverbed geometry. As a result of the spatial heterogeneity of these factors and the subsequent variability of the impact of these interaction processes, the water balance is also characterized by highly variable spatial patterns and temporal dynamics. However, spatially detailed studies concerning the spatio-temporal variability of the extent and intensity of surface-groundwater interactions have been limited to the investigation of cross-sections or small stream reaches. Thus, the extensive study on the watershed based interaction between surface water and groundwater is to be analyzed. In this study, the intensity and the spatial extent of interactions along the stream were found by using integrated SWAT-MODFLOW model. This integrated modeling approach was applied to Anyangcheon watershed in Korea. The effluent stream characteristics were found in the watershed, namely, baseflow was annually discharged except heavy rainy periods. The intensity and the spatial extent of surface-groundwater interactions in different sub-watersheds were found on a daily basis. The influential extent of surface-groundwater interaction become larger as the watershed elevations are lower.

This study was performed to improve the availability of reed and quality of traditional Yakju by using roasted reed. The pH of sprout Yakju was 3.43, whereas the pHs of other Yakjus were 3.57. No remarkable differences were observed in contents of total titratable acids and reducing sugars. Color changes were measured by Hunter's color value; L value decreased, whereas redness (+a) and yellowness (+b) increased during fermentation. Ethanol content of Yakjus prepared with sprout and root were 15.30% and 15.28%, respectively, which were lower than that of control Yakju (15.31%). However, there were obvious differences of ethanol contents in three types of Yakjus. The major free sugar and organic acid were glucose and lactic acid, respectively. The total polyphenol contents of sprout Yakju (4.26 mg%) and root Yakju (4.21 mg%) were much higher than that of control Yakju (2.56 mg%). The DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavenging activities of sprout Yakju and root Yakju were higher than those of control Yakju. Yakju prepared from 0.3% addition of sprout showed the highest score in overall preference from the sensory test.

Recently, problem of earth environment being attended with international issue, people are concerned about the environmentally-friendly and renewable biomass energy. Especially, the forest biomass is more important because Korea have to control carbon footprint for Kyoto Protocol and Convention on Climate Change. In case of Korea, forest area covers the land about 2/3 of all country. It is needed that more economical and efficient method to estimate the biomass by remote sensing data which include wide coverage and is progressed by one-step. In this study, we estimate forest biomass with LiDAR data and aerial photograph. Three biomass equation is used and estimate mean biomass of single tree and entire biomass in plots. The results are compared with field data. $R^2$ of the mean biomass of single tree is greater than 0.8 and that of entire biomass in plots is greater than 0.65. In conclusion, the method using remote sensing data is verified more economical and efficient than previous field data method.

Electronic commerce markets have been increasing rapidly, which has resulted in parallel growth in the door-to-door delivery service industry. The door-to-door delivery service industry is projected to be more competitive, due to the large amount of companies that are already established and the fact that several leading multinational logistics companies are rushing into the domestic market. This is a critical period for the companies which are attempting to obtain a competitive advantage. Previous research on door-to-door delivery services has been undertaken, in relation to strategic exploration, political proposals, and user satisfaction. However, there is a lack of practical studies focused on the information systems of door-to-door service companies and its decisive roles have been undertaken. This study aims to investigate, compare, and analyze the information systems of door-to-door delivery service companies. Also, the study proposes developmental direction of how the information systems should be improved.

Utilizing intra-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) based on 1 minute return data of stocks traded on the Korean Stock Exchange, this paper examines and analyzes abnormal returns in reaction to patent listing disclosures as well as the cumulative abnormal returns, traded volumes, the interaction of VWAP spreads, the reaction of volumes, the reaction of VWAP spreads and the realized returns obtained from trading using an event driven arbitrage strategy. The results of the aforementioned research topics are follows. First, our analysis suggests that on average, 0.92% positive cumulative returns arise 1 minute after the patent listing disclosure announcement with high statistical significance, thereby reconfirming that the Korean stock market is a semi-strong form of the efficient market. Employing 3 separate panel tests differentiated by the size factor, we find that the abnormal returns of small sized stocks were less than the returns of medium sized stocks, which goes to support recent research findings suggesting that the size premium is no longer existent in the Korean stock market. Secondly, we show that among the event driven type strategies, the most outstanding realized returns are from the market making strategies. Furthermore, placing market order trades only at the bid or ask price resulted in negative returns. This implies that strategies utilizing a combination of market orders and limit orders, order cancelations ratios and order flows can enhance realized returns.
