In order to improve our knowledge of the characteristics of organic compounds in coastal waters, water samples were collected from the Incheon coastal region, the Hyungsan River in Youngil Bay and the Busan coastal region. Also, mooring was carried out near the Kanghwa Island and Seo Island. In this study, the relationship between the total organic carbon (TOC) and salinity, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and salinity were evaluated and determined. Riverine end-member of TOC into the Korean coastal area and its COD estimated from these relationships were 5.32 mg C/l and 8.87 mg O$_2$/l, respectively. The oxidation efficiency of COD to TOC estimated using the high-temperature catalytic oxidation method was about 47％. The linear relationship between TOC and COD was derived as COD (mg O$_2$/l)=0.61${\times}$TOC (mg C/l) -0.03, (R$^2$=0.66). Therefore, it is possible to estimate total organic carbon using this equation from previously reported chemical oxygen demand.

Geology and terrain of Imha basin has a very weak characteristics to soil erosion, so much soil particles flow into Imha reservoir and bring about high density turbid water when it rains a lot. Especially, since the agricultural area of Imha basin is mainly located in river boundary, Imha reservoir has suffered from turbid water by soil erosion. Therefore, it is important to estimate the influence of soil erosion to establish efficient management of water-pollutant buffering zone for the reduction of turbid water. By applying GIS-based RUSLE model, this study can acquire 12.23% that is the ratio of soil erosion in water-pollutant buffering zone and is higher than area-ratio (9.95%) of water-pollutant buffering zone. This is why the area-ratio of agricultural district (27.24%) in water-pollutant buffering zone is higher than the area-ratio of agricultural district (14.96%) in Imha basin. Also as the result of soil erosion in sub-basin, Daegok basin shows highest soil erosion in water-pollutant buffering zone, second is Banbyeon_10 basin and last is Seosi basin.

A description of the "phytohydrography" in the southwestern waters of the East Sea is given from concurrent measurement of temperature, chlorophyll-a, nutrients, and phytoplankton and also from the calculated primary production during the two cruises in May and October, 1984. Past history of water mass is relatively well reflected in the distribution of phytoplankton species, but such a reflection is rarely shown in the distribution of physical and chemical parameters in general. Upper layer of the waters around Ul-gi and Gampo is typically characterized by the high chlorophyll-a, high primary production, and low nanofraction ratio due to the continuing supply of nutrients from the nutrient-rich cold water underneath. Water of Tsushima current shows poor standing crop in terms of cell numbers and chlorophyll-a concentrations, extremely high nanofraction ratio, and very low primary production. The overwhelming importance of the nanofraction is confirmed in phytoplankton cell numbers, chlorophyll-a concentration, and possibly enough in primary production. This emphasizes the exceptionally strong inflow of warm water into the study area from south among all the waters around the whole Korean peninsula.

The primary productivity and physicochemical factors were surveyed seasonally in Gangjin bay from February to October in 1998. The determination of the Primary Productivity Was performed in Situ by isotope-method using NaH/sup 14/CO/sub 3/. The range of primary productivity was 2.78 mgC m/sup -3/ hr/sup -1/-4.92 mgC m/sup -3/ hr/sup -1/ according to seasons. The primary productivity showed the highest value in summer, followed by those of winter, autumn and spring. The primary productivities of station 1, 2 which are located the upper area, were lower than those of station 3, 4, 5 and 6. The correlations showed that the primary productivity correlated with chlorophyll a, underwater light intensity but reversely correlated with suspended solids. These results suggested that the primary productivity in Gangjin Bay was mainly influenced by the inflow of freshwater from Tamjin River.

Subclavian steal syndrome is a type of obstructive artery disease caused by severe stenosis and occlusion of a left proximal subclavian artery or brachiocephalic trunk. The resulting vertebro-basilar insufficiency symptoms are due to retrograde blood flow from the contralateral vertebral and basilar arteries into the low-pressure ipsilateral upper extremity vessels. For that reason, patients usually experience dizziness or arm ischemic symptoms. Neurointervention is an effective treatment for ischemic stroke, including the subclavian artery stenosis. This paper reports a patient with subclavian steal syndrome who had a vertebral artery Doppler waveform change in duplex sonography and a 12 mmHg difference in interarm systolic blood pressure. A stenotic lesion of the subclavian artery was treated effectively by inserting a precise stent. The follow up examination showed that the vertebral artery Doppler waveform change disappeared and recovered and that the 12 mmHg difference in interarm systolic blood pressure decreased to 5 mmHg after treatment.

Oceanic conditions of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) region in the southern area of the East Sea (Japan Sea) are examined using data obtained from a CREAMS (Circulation Research if the East Asian Marginal Seas) cruise in June 1996. In 1990s, a lower temperature appears in 1996 and in this period, two branches of the TWC exist and the first branch of the TWC flows inshore of the Japanese coastal region compared to that in the other years, especially in the shallower water layer at depth less than about 200 m. The TWC cored with the higher salinity (>34.6 psu) is clearly observed over the continental shelf in the Japanese coastal region and offshore and identified by geostrophic calculation. Intrusion of the TWC into the East Sea through the Korea Strait (the Tsushima Strait) makes the density structure in the water column change and the water mass in the TWC region is unstable based on Brunt­Vaisala frequency.

Seasonal distributions of nutrients and particulate organic matter were investigated in Asan Bay, Korea. Most of nutrients were high in August and low in February. The atomic ratios of inorganic nitrogen to phosphorous were close to Redfield ratio except in May when the ratio was 24.8. In May, nutrient concentrations except phosphorous decreased with salinity until $31.5{\sim}32.0%0$, but the concentrations increased again with salinity, impling that there were nutrient input sources within the estuary. Howerer, significant inverse relationships between nutrients and salinity in August suggest that nutrient sources were river discharge. Maximum chlorophyll a concentrations occurred in May. Relatively low ratios of $R_b$ to $R_a$($R_b$: fluorescence before acidification; $R_a$: fluorescence after acidification) during the study periods indicate that phytoplankton were not in good physiological condition. Relatively low ratio of particulate biogenic silica(PBSi) to particulate organic carbon(POC) and high ratios of PBSi and POC to chlorophyll a during the study periods suggest input of non-living detrital PBSi and POC from bottom in Asan Bay, where strong tidal mixing occurs.

In this study, the removal efficiency of the wetland in terms of particulate matter and dead water zone through the application of baffles in the sedimentation were simulated with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to determine the design of a cost-effective constructed wetland. As a result, it was analyzed that the application of the baffle in the sedimentation tank affect the flow and sedimentation rate. Fine particles such as $2{\mu}m$ and $5{\mu}m$ showed high sedimentation rate when the baffles are installed horizontally. large particles such as $10{\mu}m$ and $20{\mu}m$ showed also high deposition rate when the baffles are installed vertically. In addition, the vertical baffles is considered to be more efficient than other baffle types in terms of maintenance since the particulate matter are concentrated in narrow areas. Therefore, it is considered that the selection of the most applicable type of baffle depends on the design purpose of the wetland to be constructed.
