Embryo Transfer (ET) is one of the assisted reproductive technologies and a useful tool for improving herds. The purpose of this study is to produce the calves using frozen embryos which were produced in the top one percent Holstein in Canada by ET. One hundred seventeen recipients were used for surrogate mothers and seventy cows were diagnosed to be pregnant. Fifty seven calves were born successfully and thirteen out of them failed to produce viable calves (abortion: 4, stillbirth: 9). Their gestational length, birth body weight and sex ratio for all the viable calves(n = 57) were $278.1{\pm}3.6$ days (range: from 271 to 286 days), $44.0{\pm}3.0\;kg$ (range: from 37 to 49 kg) and 57.9 vs. 42.1 % (male 33 and female 24), respectively. Microsatellite analysis confirmed that they were derived from frozen embryos. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that viable calves derived from frozen-thawed embryos from Canada were born by ET.

Waterstorage is one of the factorsthat most directly represent the amount of available water resources. Since the effects of drought can be more intuitively expressed, it is also used in variousstudies for drought evaluation. In a recent study, hydrological drought was evaluated through information on observing reservoirs with optical images. The short observation cycle and diversity of optical satellites provide a lot of data. However, there are some limitations because it is vulnerable to the influence of weather or the atmospheric environment. Therefore, thisstudy attempted to conduct a study on estimating the drought index using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image with relatively little influence from the observation environment. We produced the waterbody of Baekgok and Chopyeong reservoirs using SAR images of Sentinel-1 satellites and calculated the Reservoir Area Drought Index (RADI), a hydrological drought index. In order to validate the applicability of RADI to drought monitoring, it was compared with Reservoir Storage Drought Index (RSDI) based on measured storage. The two indices showed a very high correlation with the correlation coefficient, r=0.87, Area Under curve, AUC=0.97. These results show the possibility of regional-scale hydrological drought monitoring of SAR-based RADI. As the number of available SAR images increases in the future, it is expected that the utilization of drought monitoring will also increase.

Arbor Day is a day that encourages people to plant trees and symbolizes the timing of planting. Arbor Day has been honored on April 5th in Korea, but it often does not agree to actual planting time due to global warming. This study confirmed the discrepancy between Arbor Day and regional soil-thawing times and reviewed alternative dates for tree planting using satellite-based soil-thaw data (FT-ESDR) from 1991 to 2020. Study results showed that the start time of planting on the Korean Peninsula, which was indicated by soil-thaw dates, was March 24 during 1991-2000, and it progressively changed to March 17 during 2011-2020. Should Arbor Day be changed based on soil-thaw periods, mid-March would be the most comprehensive, suitable alternative period considering the number of governmental administration units (cities and counties) and the land area of soil-thaw. Tree-Planting Day (March 14) and International Day of Forests (March 21) were found suitable for alternative dates to Arbor Day because they were close to the average soil-thaw time of Korean Peninsula (March 19) and land area whose soil-thaw time was within 10 days from those two dates ranged from 52.5% to 58.8% centered geographically on the mid-section of the peninsula. Since the periods of soil-thaw will continue to change due to climate change, it is necessary to reflect the trend of advancing planting periods in the future if Arbor Day is changed to an earlier date.

Understanding the status of surface cover in riparian zones is essential for river management and flood disaster prevention. Traditional survey methods rely on expert interpretation of vegetation through vegetation mapping or indices. However, these methods are limited by their ability to accurately reflect dynamically changing river environments. Against this backdrop, this study utilized satellite imagery to apply the Random Forest method to assess the distribution of vegetation in rivers over multiple years, focusing on the Naeseong Stream as a case study. Remote sensing data from Sentinel-2 imagery were combined with ground truth data from the Naeseong Stream surface cover in 2016. The Random Forest machine learning algorithm was used to extract and train 1,000 samples per surface cover from ten predetermined sampling areas, followed by validation. A sensitivity analysis, annual surface cover analysis, and accuracy assessment were conducted to evaluate their applicability. The results showed an accuracy of 85.1% based on the validation data. Sensitivity analysis indicated the highest efficiency in 30 trees, 800 samples, and the downstream river section. Surface cover analysis accurately reflects the actual river environment. The accuracy analysis identified 14.9% boundary and internal errors, with high accuracy observed in six categories, excluding scattered and herbaceous vegetation. Although this study focused on a single river, applying the surface cover classification method to multiple rivers is necessary to obtain more accurate and comprehensive data.

This paper considers two aspects of the wooden chamber tombs with stone mound that were constructed in Wolseong North Burial Ground, in Gyeongju: tomb form and the group tomb complex. The basic unit of a wooden chamber tomb with stone mound consisted of a single round mound, covered with an additional earthen layer and surrounded by a circle of protective stones, within which a single wooden chamber was located. The form of a wooden chamber tomb with stone mound could therefore 1) be round, consisting of a single tomb unit, 2) consist of two or more attached tomb units, 3) or consist of multiple attached chambers in a single mound. The single tomb contained the burial of a single individual, and the attached tomb contained two or more individuals who were blood relations or connected by marriage. Multiple attached chambers tombs usually consisted of wooden chamber burials of the lowest rank, and have only been identified in the royal burial area of Wolseong North Burial Ground. At the Jjoksaem Area of Wolseong North Burial Ground, which is currently, under investigation, tombs have been found in small clusters along the slightly raised ground. This is likely the result of small groups of kin relations, upon selecting points along the slightly raised ground as their burial area, having constructed midsized and large single tombs and attached tombs along the axis of the slightly raised ground, which were then surrounded by smaller 'satellite' tombs. It is through this process that the tomb complex of the different groups came to be formed. The tombs of the royal burial area of Wolseong North Burial Ground, including the Daereungwon Tomb Complex, also formed group tomb complexes. Forming the centers of the group tomb complexes of the royal tomb area were huge individual round tombs where the Maripgan rulers were laid to rest or a gourd-shaped dual mound tomb, which was the final resting place of the king and his queen consort. These central tombs were surrounded by large and smaller tombs. Of the individuals that were buried in the group tomb complexes, there would have been individuals that were of equal status or social position, such as husbands and wives or blood relations, but it is unlikely that all of the buried individuals were related by blood, given the significant difference in the sizes of the tombs. It is likely that the individuals buried in the lower ranked tombs included in the group tomb complexes were 'dependents' of the deceased of the central tomb and his or her direct family who maintained a subservient relationship. Such tomb forms and group tomb complexes that can be observed amongst the wooden chamber tombs with stone mounds of Wolseong North Burial Ground provide insights into the nature of the social groups of the Silla center during the Maripgan Period. It is hoped that future studies undertaking a more detailed analysis of the data may make further contributions to unveiling the various aspects of Silla society.

쌍천유역의 강수량과 지하수위의 관계를 분석한 결과 융설효과를 확인하였고 갈수기에 지하수위가 현저히 저하됨을 확인하였다. 쌍천유역의 지하수위와 GOI의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 70일 이동평균값을 이용한 GOI가 가장 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 융설효과를 고려하기 위해서 먼저 유역의 DEM 자료를 이용하여 100m 간격으로 고도별 면적분포를 구하고 기온이 100m당 $0.5^{\circ}C$씩 감소하는 것을 고려하여 강수사상이 발생하면 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하가 되는 고도에서는 강설사상이 발생하는 것으로 가정하였다. 이 때 고도별 면적분포에서 구해지는 면적비를 고려하여 강수사상을 강우와 강설로 나누었다. 이후에 고도를 고려한 기온이 $0^{\circ}C$ 이상인 날에 그 고도의 설적이 모두 녹는 것으로 가정하였고 강우가 발생한 것으로 처리하였다. 유역평균 일최대침투량을 알아내기 위하여 강수량자료를 일정값 이상은 고정하여 수정된 강수량자료로 70일 이동평균값을 구하고 이 값들과 지하수위와의 상관관계를 분석해 본 결과 40mm가 일최대침투량으로 가정하였을 때 가장 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 쌍천유역의 경우 40mm가 한계침투량이다. 이렇게 수정된 강수자료를 이용하여 이동평균을 구하여 지하수위와의 상관관계를 구해본 결과 쌍천유역의 2003년부터 2005년까지 2개년 자료에 대해서 융설을 고려했을 때 상관관계가 더 높아짐을 알 수 있고 한계침투량을 고려했을 때도 상관관계가 더 높아짐을 알 수 있으며 융설효과와 한계침투량을 동시에 고려했을 경우에 가장 높은 상관관계를 얻을 수 있었다.$2.8g/cm^3$로 가정했을 때, 경상분지의 화강암류의 압력평균값이 약 $0.73{\sim}3.16kbar$의 범위를 가졌고, 경상분지내 백악기 화강암류의 정치 깊이는 $2.6{\sim}11.4km$범위를 가졌다. 이는 경상분지 화강암류에 대해 유추된 기존의 정성적인 생각과 일치한다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 각섬석의 $Al^T$함량을 이용한 여러 경험적, 실험적인 압력계가 많은 제한점이 있지만 경상분지의 백악기 불국사화강암류에는 정성적으로 유효함을 알 수 있었다. 우리는 최종적으로 경상분지내 백악기 화강암류는 천부관입 암체이고 노출된 화강암류가 천부지각이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 것이 아니라 낙관적 예측을 수행하는 경향이 있음을 발견할 수 있었다.원밭, 화산회밭으로 6개 유형으로 분류할 경우 각각의 분포면적은 41.9%, 23.3%, 17.5%, 13.9%, 1.1. 2.2% 이었다. 도시화 및 도로확대 등 다양한 토지이용 및 지형개변으로 과거의 토양정보가 많이 변경되었다. 그래서, 앞으로는 인공위성자료 및 항공사진을 이용하여 빠르고 쉽게 활용할 수 있는 토양조사 방법개발과 기 구축된 토양도의 수정, 보완 작업이 필요한 절실히 요구되고 있는 현실이다.브로 출시에 따른 마케팅 및 고객관리와 관련된 시사점을 논의한다.는 교합면에서 2, 3, 4군이 1군에 비해 변연적합도가 높았으며 (p < 0.05), 인접면과 치은면에서는 군간 유의차를 보이지 않았다 이번 연구를 통하여 복합레진을 간헐적 광중합시킴으로써 변연적합도가 향상될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.시장에 비해 주가가 비교적 안정적인

This study deals with the geomorphic, environmental and land use changes by comparative analysis using Landsat TM images of 1988 year and ETM ones of 2002 year, partly together with the new Quick Bird images having 60cm resolution for more detail analysis, focusing on the Oncheon gun(county) in Pyeongnam Province, west coast zone of North Korea. The main analysis methodology is neural network classification, which is more advanced techniques for the classification of land cover and land use, with higher accuracy rate and lower errors. The TM images of 1988 year show, mainly, the on-construction tide embank for the reclamation at Gwangryangman bay and salt farm on the reclaimed tidal flat. But, ETM images of 2002 year present stabilized reclaimed land, salt farm and rice field, recently transformed from salt farm. Especially, new tidal land has been naturally developed on the coastal shallow out of tide embank and salt farm. The results of the study may help to database coastal environmental changes and to support for reasonable and productive land use of North Korea, and to manage and plan unified national land in the near future.

The research has been aimed to investigate the effect of different sera including fetal bovine serum (FBS), male bovine serum (MS), female bovine serum (FS), and castrated-male bovine serum (C-MS) on cell proliferation, follicular maturation and ovulation in vitro. Established cell lines and primary cells were cultured in the culture media supplemented with different sera and cells proliferation was observed by cell counting and MTT assay. The results indicated that cell proliferation was significantly different for different serum source. Proliferation of bovine and human myogenic satellite cells was highest in MS. In contrast, proliferation of breast cancer cells and immune cells were the highest in FS and FBS, respectively. There was no difference in the rate of follicular growth, whereas the rate of ovulation was higher in FBS and C-MS. Finally, the wound healing effect and cell proliferation of 3T3-L1 cells showed that wound healing was fastest in FS and cell proliferation was higher in MS. These results suggest the importance of an optimal serum selection in the experiments involving cell culture system, and gender-specific Hanwoo sera may be used as a substitute to FBS.

홍수와 가뭄의 증가, 수질악화, 물부족 등 물 문제 해결을 위한 대안으로 통합수자원관리에 대한 논의가 국제사회에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 많은 학자들이 수자원관리를 위한 새로운 대안으로 통합수자원관리를 주장하고 있지만, 추상적인 설명이 대부분이다. 따라서 본 연구는 통합수자원관리에 대한 정의, 원칙, 추진전략 등을 정리하여 통합수자원관리에 대한 종합적이고 체계적인 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구는 다음과 같은 흐름을 갖는다. 첫째, 수자원관리를 위한 새로운 대안으로 통합수자원관리가 등장하게 된 배경을 살펴보았다. 물문제를 해결하기 위해서는 연속적이고 상호작용하는 하나의 '시스템(係)'으로 수자원을 인식하고 관리해야 한다는 주장이 확산되고 있으며, 통합수자원관리가 그러한 인식을 갖고 있는 대안으로 등장하였다. 둘째, 통합수자원관리의 정의, 원칙 등을 조사하였다. 통합수자원관리는 자연의 지속가능성을 훼손하지 않으면서 경제적, 사회적 복지를 최대화하기 위하여 물, 토지 및 관련 자원의 조화로운 개발을 위한 과정으로 정의된다. 이러한 통합수자원관리를 위한 원칙으로는 지속가능한 수자원의 개발, 이용 및 관리원칙, 물순환 체계 고려 및 유역관리원칙, 이해당사자 참여 및 조정의 원칙, 비용부담 및 편익 균형배분의 원칙 등이 있다. 셋째, 통합수자원관리를 위한 추진방안을 제시하였다. 법제도 정비 및 부문별 통합관리강화, 수자원 관련 자료의 신뢰도 제고 및 의사결정 체계 구축, 관련계획과의 연계, 계획-실행-평가의 순환구축, 물관리 비용부담체계 구축 등이 통합수자원관리의 실행을 앞당길 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 통합수자원관리에 대하여 종합적인 정보를 제공하고 개선을 위한 추진방안을 제시하여 국내 수자원관리의 문제해결을 위한 기반을 구축하는 데에 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 범람범위의 1차적인 정보에서 수립할 수 있었던 계획이 가질 수 있었던 한계점을 좀 더 향상된 정보를 이용하여 극복함으로써 효율적이고 체계적인 치수 방재 계획수립이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.group) 67개, 속(family) 161개로 분류되었으며, 가장 저차단위인 통(series)이 390개 분류되었다. 또한 작물이용측면에서 실용적 분류를 실시하였는데, 논토양의 경우 보통논, 미숙논, 사질논, 습논, 염해논, 특이산성논으로 분류할 경우 각각의 분포면적이 31.9%, 23.0%, 31.9%, 9.1%, 3.9%, 0.2%이었다. 밭토양의 경우에도 보통밭, 사질밭, 미숙밭, 중점밭, 고원밭, 화산회밭으로 6개 유형으로 분류할 경우 각각의 분포면적은 41.9%, 23.3%, 17.5%, 13.9%, 1.1. 2.2% 이었다. 도시화 및 도로확대 등 다양한 토지이용 및 지형개변으로 과거의 토양정보가 많이 변경되었다. 그래서, 앞으로는 인공위성자료 및 항공사진을 이용하여 빠르고 쉽게 활용할 수 있는 토양조사 방법개발과 기 구축된 토양도의 수정, 보완 작업이 필요한 절실히 요구되고 있는 현실이다.브로 출시에 따른 마케팅 및 고객관리와 관련된 시사점을 논의한다.는 교합면에서 2, 3, 4군이 1군에 비해 변연적합도가 높았으며 (p < 0.05), 인접면과 치은면에서는 군간 유의차를 보이지 않았다 이번 연구를 통하여 복합레진을 간헐적 광중합시킴으로써 변연적합도가 향상될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.시장에 비해 주가가 비교적 안정적인 수준을 유지해 왔다고 볼 수 있다.36.4%)와 외식을 선호(29.1%)${\lrcorner}$ 하기 때문에 패스트푸드를 이용하게 된 것으로 응답 하였으며, 남 여 대학생간에는 유의한 차이(p<0.05)가 인정되었다. 응답자의 체형은 ${\

For reducing greenhouse gases, many countries carried out a series of activities not only at home but abroad. Particularly, after the release of the Kyoto Protocol, either nation or companies' participation was intensified, due to endow to responsibility of emission limits. This study focused on reforestation CDM work in Goseong Gun based on clean development system. Obstacle factors of land eligibility could be distinguished to three periods: before December 31th 1989, present and future. The obstacle before December 31th 1989 was that land cover of study area hardly illustrated by Landsat image, due to the low resolution, which were confirmed by a document of Grassland Composition Permission instead. The problem of current land eligibility is that the area of trees presence are difficult to be determined as forest or not. The boundary of forest in strata was identified, using 3-Dimensional Cartography Machine and aerial photograph. Land eligibility would still have obstacle whether the study area with trees presence has potentiality to be forest in the future at situation in absence of reforestation project. This was resolved by prediction of tree growth using stem analysis during execution of the project at study area.
