In recent years, an ingress of mass jellyfish into cooling water intake system causes interruption of electric power production at the Uljin nuclear power plant. Therefore, monitering and forecast on the mass ingress of marine organisms are demanded as one of the early preventing measurements. Sea water movement is a major factor on the ingress of marine organisms like Moon jellyfish which has weak self-mobile ability. When sea surface flow direction adjacent to the Uljin is the northwest, the jellyfish on the Tsushima warm currents move to the Uljin power plant. To detect the direction of sea surface warm flows, the spatial range with $25km{\times}25km$ is set up and NOAA sea surface temperature(SST) data are collected in this area. For the statistical analysis, the SST data are made as GIS point data and geostatistical analysis of ArcGIS is used. Analyzing directional semivariogram, the anisotropy of the SST point data are calculated and warm flow direction is detected. This experimental results are expected to use as an element technology for the early warning system development of mass jellyfish ingress in power plant.

This study investigated the location conditions, spatial linkage structures, and firm specific problems of small firms of the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area by sectors and by areal distribution. The major locational advantages were closeness to customers and suppliers followed by accessibility to inter-state highways. These results were supported by spatial linkage structures in which within-region linkages occupied a greater portions of linkage, showing the importance of small firms in the regional economy. The linkage patterns showed distance decay effect with high elasticity. While there were no significant differences of locational conditions and spatial linkage structures of small firms between core and peripheral area, a slight difference was identified among sectors. Chemical related manufacturing firms show different locational conditions and spatial linkage structure with weak within-local linkages. The main locational disadvantages were lack of qualified labor, undesirable neighborhood, heavy tax, and space shortage. Considering the biggest problems such as lack of qualified labor, difficulties in sales/marketing, low accessibility to financial resource, and technological inability, the inter-related cooperative business networks among firms and regional institutions, consulting companies, chamber of commerce, and universities are needed to stimulate regional economic development and survival of small firms.

Because local cities are different from large cities, they need to reflect their own characteristics of housing market. Thus in order to obtain useful implications for the establishing sound housing market in Jinju City, this paper investigated the characteristics of spatial distribution and determinant factors that affect apartment price in Jinju City. GIS representation of the apartments showed that most of old and small apartments were built in 'land readjustment project' areas executed in 1970s. On the contrary, new and large scale apartment complexes were built quite recently and distributed in the western and southern parts of the city. Next, in order to examine the factors which affect apartment price, this paper subtracted firstly several variables from the related studies. However in order to avoid multi-colinearity, variables were summarized by means of factor analysis. Then, setting apartment price as a dependant variable, 12 hedonic price models were established with 33 independent variables. As results, building age, floor area, accessibility to university and hospital, accessibility to arterial road, and stair-type building were turned out to be significant. These results will be used in making the supply and allocation plan of urban facilities and housing. Finally as conclusions this paper emphasized the need of periodic analysis of local housing market and establishing detailed housing information systems.

Ginseng, also known as Insam, has solidified its status as one of the supreme drugs classified as life time expansion drug since ancient times and was used as a panacea based on its pharmaceutical effectiveness. The demand for ginseng rapidly increased as the demand for ginseng, which targeted only noble class people, expanded to other social class people. Accordingly, the wild ginseng supply reached its limit due to the extinction caused by indiscriminate harvesting and the difficulty of harvesting, and thus the ginseng supply method shifted to the cultivation of high-priced ginseng rather than complicated wild ginseng foraging. Although the timing of ginseng cultivation (also called gasam) in Korea has been studied, the research on the first cultivation area has not been reported yet. In this study, we critically reviewed Korea's first ginseng cultivation site by arranging data related to ginseng cultivation, and the historical data cited here include Joseon Wangjo Sillog (The Annals of Joseon Dynasty), Imwon Gyeongjeji (The Mid-19 Century Encyclopedia Koreana on Rural Living, Edible plants and Herb Volumes), Oju Yeonmun Jangjeon Sango (An Encyclopedic Writing during the Latter Half Period of the Joseon Dynasty), Junggyeongji (The Junggyeong Town Chronicle), Jeungbo Munheon Bigo (The largest encyclopedia of Joseon Dynasty), Insamsa (The Ginseng History) and etc. As a result of data assortment and critical review, the first ginseng plantation in the Joseon Dynasty resulted in the Yeongnam region, and in Yeongnam region, I have no choice but to conclude that it is Punggi-myeon (currently Punggi-eup, Yeongju-si, Gyeongbuk).

The economical manufacturing process of fluorescent sediments (FS) which makes use of the understanding of coastal sediment path has been suggested with respect to the Lagrangian viewpoint. First, the fluorescent liquids were made by the mixing of the fluorescent materials, acetone, and xylene. Second, the sediments collected in Gamami beach were desalinized by the freshwater washing, dried indoors to protect the fine-sediment scattering, and classified by the sieve analysis. Finally, the FS which have seven different colors were manufactured by the mixing of fluorescent liquids and prepared sediments. The FS were used to figure out the major sediment supply routes of the intake channel in the YoungKwang nuclear power plant. From the field experiments, it was shown that the sediments were suspended and dispersed by the strong seasonal NW wind and the tide, and the sediments in suspension were flowing into the intake channel due to very strong suction speed. All the FS injected in stations were detected in the channel sampling points, thus we concluded that the sediments in suspension and dispersion were flowing into the intake channel from all directions in adjacent coastal zone.

Lately rainfall characteristics that it rains a lot in a short space of time often occurs. Because of this meteorological phenomena, the flow rate and concentration of initial rainfall for runoff and combined sewer overflows are changed. In the case of this inlet fluctuation, the flotation method at high surface loading rate is suitable for water quality management. the flotation method is able to meet the removal rate requirements of water public zone in 5 to 10 min which is irelatively short period. For assessment and diagonision of flotation method, A/S ratio is applied until now. But unfortunately, this has some limits for evaluation standard for certification and assessment of technical diagnosis and operation. This is why there is different efficiency in the bubble distribution at the same A/S ratio. The velocity and time of floating is changed by the different bubble distributions. The floating time affects the plant volume because the time factor make size dicision. Therefore the charateristics of bubble distribution and floating time at the same A/S ratio is necessary to apply to evaluation standard for certification and assessment of technical diagnosis and operation. For generalization of the method in certification and assessment, the characteristics of bubble distribution was studied. Until recently, using the optical device and shooting live video, there are some analysis technology of the floating factors. But this kind of technology is influenced by the equipment. with this level of confidence about the results, it is difficult to apply to generalize. According this reasons, this study should be applied on experiment generalization of method about measurement of relation between bubble distribution and floating time.

This paper presents a design of high-efficiency and high-power class E power transmitter. The transmitter is composed of 300 Watt class E power amplifier and AC-DC converter. The AC-DC converter converts 220 V and 60 Hz AC to a 290 V DC. The generated DC voltage is directly applied to a bias of the class E power amplifier. Because the converter does not have DC-DC converter unit, it has very high conversion efficiency of about 98.03 %. To minimize the loss at the output of the power amplifier, high-Q inductor was implemented and deployed to the output resonant circuit. As a result, the 13.56 MHz class E power amplifier has a high power-added efficiency of 84.2 % at the peak output power of 323.6 W. The overall efficiency of class E power transmitter, including the AC-DC converter, is as high as 82.87 %.

Geographical distribution of salps was elucidated in the South Sea of Korea with focusing on the April and June, 1997 when swarm of salps occurred. We also discussed on its distributional pattern in relation to environment conditions and its impact on marine ecosystem with emphasizing on trophodynamics. Salps were abundantly distributed in the south-eastern area of Cheju Island where is closely associated with the Tsushima Warm Current. In April and June, 1997, surface water temperature was $2{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ higher than the average over 1961-1998, while surface water salinity was lower. Chlorophyll-a concentration, density of copepods and catches of mackerel sharply decreased in April and June, 1997. These results suggest that the swarm of salps was due to not only transportation by strong Tsushima Warm Current but also supply of abundant foods. Low densities of copepods may be related to the presence of swarm of salps because of food competition between them. The fact that the catches of mackerel were very low in April and May, 1997 suggests that the trophodynamics between salps and copepods also influence the fish resources.

In order to find the optimum culture condition for marine free-living nematoda in the laboratory, various agar media were developed and experiments were carried on nematodes. Nematodes have collected from the bottom of the sandy sediments' surface layer (about 5cm sediment) of Taean Mallipo beach's intertidal zone. Especially, with regard to agar medium, Killian medium was transformed slightly, density of agar had made a difference and this agar medium(height 2.0 mm on diameter 60 mm Petri dish) was divided. It was mixed with 5 different species of microorganism as nematodes' live food and added each culture medium. Five individuals of Enoplolaimus sp. on each culture medium were grown in a culture medium which was set on $20^{\circ}C$ and light blocked. Moreover, as a result of the optimum culture condition, 1.0% density of agar showed the highest survival rates (the average time of survival is 246.8 hours). On the other hand, the 0.4% density of agar adding Killian medium, bacto peptone and beef extract showed the lowest survival rates, which indicates the average time of survival is 27.6 hours. About Bathylaimus sp., on Killian medium's 1.0% density of agar(no feeding amount) showed the highest survival rates, which connects that the hatching rate 94.7% after 99.5 hours and it laid 7 eggs averagely on the spawning amount and the hatching rate experiment.

최근 Stranski-Krastanov (SK) 성장법을 이용한 자발형성 (Self-assembled) InAs/GaAs 양자점 (Quantum Dot) 연구가 기초 물리학뿐만 아니라 응용에 있어 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 보고에 따르면 SK 성장법을 통한 InAs/GaAs 양자점은 크기, 균일도, 및 밀도 등의 성장거동 제어에 한계가 있다. 예로, 성장속도 및 증착양이 감소하더라도 상대적으로 크기가 큰 InAs/GaAs 클러스터 (Cluster)를 형성하여 크기분포의 불균일 및 결함을 야기하여 결과적으로 전기/광학적 특성을 저해하는 요인이 된다. 이를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 SK 성장법을 변형한 다양한 수정자발형성법이 제안되어 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 SK 성장법과 Arsenic-interruption Technique(AIT), In Pre-deposition (IPD)법을 각각 접목한 수정자발형성법을 이용하여 상대적으로 크기가 큰 InAs/GaAs 양자점 또는 클러스터 형성을 감소시켜 공간적 크기 균일도 및 밀도를 제어한 결과를 보고한다. 성장된 InAs/GaAs 양자점 시료의 구조 및 광학적 특성을 원자력간현미경 (Artomic Force Microscopy, AFM)과 Photoluminescence (PL) 분광법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 기존 SK 성장법을 이용하여 형성한 기준시료의 AFM 이미지에서 InAs/GaAs 양자점과 클러스터의 공간밀도는 각각 6.4*1010/cm2와 1.4*109/cm2로 관찰되었다. 그러나, AIT를 이용한 양자점 시료의 경우 상대적으로 크기가 큰 InAs/GaAs 클러스터는 관찰되어지지 않았고, 양자점 밀도는 8.4*1010/cm2로 SK 양자점에 비하여 30% 정도 개선되었다. 또한, InAs/GaAs 클러스터를 제외한 공간 균일도는 SK-InAs/GaAs 양자점의 15.6%에 비하여 8%로 크게 개선된 결과를 얻었다. AIT 성장법을 이용한 InAs/GaAs 양자점에서 원자의 이동거리 (Migration Length)의 제어로 양자점의 형성특성이 개선된 것으로 설명할 수 있으며, Arsenic 차단 시간이 임계점 이상으로 길어지면 다시 InAs/GaAs 클러스터들이 형성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. InAs/GaAs 양자점과 클러스터 형성 특성이 초기 표면 조건에 어떻게 영향을 받는지 분석하기 위해, InAs 양자점 성장 이전에 V족 물질 공급 없이 Indium의 공급시간을 1초(IPDT1S 시료), 2초 (IPDT2S 시료), 3초 (IPDT1S 시료)로 변화시키면서 증착하고 기존 SK 성장법으로 양자점을 성장하였다 (IPD성장법). 그 결과 IDP1S 양자점 시료의 공간밀도가 10*1010/cm2로 SK InAs/GaAs 양자점 시료에 비해 약 60% 정도 증가하였고, 클러스터도 관찰 할 수 없었다. 그러나 IPD 시간이 증가할수록 다시 InAs/GaAs 클러스터들이 형성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 InAs/GaAs 양자점 성장초기에 InAs 핵생성 사이트 (Nucleation site)의 크기 및 상태를 제어하는 것이 양자점의 밀도 및 균일도를 제어하는 중요한 요소임을 알 수 있다.
