The objective of this study was to determine the effect of heat shock treatments on the phytochemicals including antioxidants and anticancer materials in kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala) sprouts. In study I, kale sprouts grown under the growing system for four days were soaked at 40, 50, or $60^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 10, 30, or 60 seconds, and in study II, kale sprouts were soaked at $50^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 10, 20, 30, 45, or 60 seconds. After the heat shock treatments, the sprouts were transferred into normal growing conditions and recovered there for two days. Fresh and dry weights, electrolyte leakage, total phenolic concentration, antioxidant capacity, total flavonoid concentration, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, and glucosinolates content of the sprouts were measured before and after the heat shock treatments. As a result, there was a significant decrease in the fresh and dry weight of kale sprouts treated with heat shock compared with control at harvest in study I. Especially, heat shock at $60^{\circ}C$ lead to more pronounced growth inhibition compared with heat treatments at 40 and $50^{\circ}C$. Electrolyte leakage by cell collapse was the highest in the sprouts exposed to $60^{\circ}C$ distilled water, which agreed with the growth results. Heat shock at $50^{\circ}C$ significantly induced the accumulation of phenolic compounds. In study II, fresh weight of kale sprouts at $50^{\circ}C$ heat shock showed a significant decrease compared with the control at one and two days after the treatment. However, the decrease was minimal and dry weight of kale sprouts was not significantly different from that in control. In contrast, the heat shock-treated kale sprouts had higher level of total phenolic concentration than control at harvest. Heat shock treatments at $50^{\circ}C$ for 20 seconds or more showed at least 1.5 and 1.2 times higher total phenolic concentration and antioxidants capacity than control, respectively. The change of the total flavonoid concentration was similar with that of antioxidants. PAL activity after 24 hours of heat shock was higher in all the heat shock-treated sprouts than that in control suggesting heat shock may stimulate secondary metabolic pathway in kale sprouts. Seven glucosinolates were identified in kale sprouts and soaking the sprouts with $50^{\circ}C$ water for 20 seconds had a pronounced impact on the accumulation of total glucosinolates as well as two major glucosinolates, progoitrin and sinigrin, at harvest. In conclusion, this study suggests that heat shock using hot water would be a potential strategy to improve nutritional quality of kale sprouts by inducing the accumulation of phytochemicals with antioxidant and anticancer properties.

This paper discusses the posibility of synthesizing flood hudrographs by the stroage function model. Eight small watersheds from Han, Gum, Nakdong, Youngsan river system were selected for this purpose. The optimum constants are computed from the chi square criterion by the SDFP methods Based on these constants, equations for the storage constant and Lag time are derived from the kinematic wave theory and storage function theory. These relations are examined by using optimum constants of the storage function model and assumptive constant of the kinematic wave model. Main results are sumarized as follows. 1. Constants of the storage function model are closely related to those of the kinematic wave model. The formula obtained theoretically is difficult to use practically because of the unclaified definition of factors. 2. In order to estimate constants of the storage function model for the practical purpose, new equations are also proposed for mountaneous area. 3. The verification of proposed equation is made for several recorded floods for mountaeous areas.

In COSMOS, an area for signal coordination is divided into subareas composed of several signalized intersections that share a common cycle time. Each subarea contains only one critical intersection having heavy traffic load. Subarea is a basic unit of control. The performance of COSMOS is highly dependent on the linkage rule between adjacent subareas. The purpose of this study is to provide an appropriate subarea linkage rule in COSMOS. This study developed a control strategy for Critical Intersection and Sub Area linkage. Critical Intersections calculate the Offset Pattern both East-West Axis and North-South Axis, and the coordination direction either East-West Axis or North-South Axis. Subarea can be combined with other one in all directions. The performance of the suggested linkage rule was evaluated on the real network in Gangnam-Gu. The result was that travel time was reduced by the suggested linkage rule.

The effect of wave and current interactions on jet-like current flowing against waves was investigated based on numerical simulations. The numerical simulations were conducted using a model system of REF/DIF(a wave model) and SHORECIRC(a current model). In the simulations, irregular waves refracted due to the jet-like opposing current were focused along the centerline of current, and the jet-like current was spreaded earlier when the wave heights become larger. The numerical results show that the rapid change of wave height distribution in transverse direction near current inlet plays a significant role to spread the jet-like current. In other words, the radiation stress gradients acting in transverse direction have a more significant effect on the jet-like current than its gradients acting in flowing direction which tend to accelerate the current do. In conclusion, it is indispensible to take into account the interaction between waves and current when the jet-like current such as river mouth meets opposing waves.

This study examines the applicability of the Nash model and the Diskin model, which are linear and nonlinear runoff models, respectively, by applying optimization techniques to the parameter calibration of the two models. Nonlinear programming which is one of traditional optimization techniques and Genetic Algorithm which has been actively applied recently are used in this study. The Nash and Diskin models which use the calibrated parameter with a flood events are applied to a different flood event in Soyang Dam basin. The results obtained from the parameter calibration show slight discrepancy depending upon the flood events. It has been found in the comparion between the observed hydrograph and the hydrographs obtained from the parameter calibration that the Diskin model can better simulate the observed hydrograph than the Nash model can, especially, for the peak flow. This can be analyzed that the Diskin model which is a nonlinear runoff model is better off in simulating the nonlinear characteristic of the rainfall-runoff process.

지속시간과 생기빈도에 따른 홍수량 산정은 여러 수문분야 적용에 있어 매우 유용하며 홍수관련 설계인자를 첨두홍수량 중심에서 지속시간에 대응하는 홍수량으로 확장할 필요가 있다고 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 한강유역 관측 홍수량의 홍수량-지속기간-빈도 분석을 위하여 샘플지역인 한강대교와 여주 지점의 수위자료와 수위-유량 관계식을 사용한 유출량 자료를 활용하여 경험적 QdF곡선과 이론적 QdF모형을 제시하였다. 지속시간에 따른 분석을 위하여 이동평균자료를 사용하여 획득된 지속기간별 연 최대홍수량 자료를 추출하였다. 한강대교 QdF 곡선의 변동특성은 지속기간과 재현기간이 증가함에 따른 최대홍수량 변화폭이 크게 증가하지 않음을 나타내고 이는 한강대교 지점의 유량이 대표하는 유역이 매우 크며 상류의 댐에 의한 홍수통제 등 인위적 영향에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 유역 환경변화로 인한 자료 특성변화에 대한 영향 분석을 위하여 댐건설 전후를 분리한 자료를 이용한 QdF 곡선을 작성, 분석하였다. 댐 건설 전후 강수 자료 자체의 특성 변화와 댐 건설 후 자료기간의 한계를 가짐에도 불구하고 분석결과 댐건설 전후 자료에 대한 QdF 곡선은 댐건설로 인한 유출량 영향 파악을 가능케 하였다. 여주 지점의 QdF 곡선은 지속기간과 빈도변화에 따른 변화양상이 대상 지역 계획홍수량을 넘어서는 자료가 많음을 보였다. 이는 유출량 산정을 위해서 제시된 수위-유량 관계식의 적용범위를 넘어서는 값의 발생으로 인한 인위적인 조정에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 지점별로 분석자료의 타당성 및 정상성을 점검하고 자료에 타당한 개선된 QC과정이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 충주댐 건설전후의 여주 지점 QdF 분석 결과는 특히 댐 건설 후 QdF 곡선의 변화 양상은 댐 건설 후 자료에 대한 새로운 형태의 이론적 QdF모형 제시가 필요함을 보여주었다.

This paper deals with development of an oil boom computation program (OBC Program) for effective response to oil spill. Currently, programs for showing required minimum quantities of oil skimmers and temporary storage tanks have been developed. However, a program for oil boom has not developed, which causes difficulties in oil spill management. The OBC program was developed using LabVIEW 2010 for solving above problems. The OBC program has following strengths: 1. Both experts and non-experts can calculate required quantities of oil booms, 2. The program can save response time, 3. It can reduce damage to properties and marine environment in proportion to reduced response time.

When a football field is constructed using sand medium, the fertilizer management has to be adjusted because of the low nutrient holding capacity and higher leaching rate. The objective of this study was to test the effects of slow release fertilizers on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) growth in simulated sport field rootzones with PVC pipe pots. Data of turfgrass color, uniformity, growth rate, biomass above ground, and the nitrate content in the leaching solution was collected at different growing stages and during four simulated rain fall periods. The result showed that the nutrient release rate of urea was the highest and that of controlled release nitrogen fertilizer was the lowest. Effects of the controlled release nitrogen fertilizer lasted 14 days more than other lawn fertilizers and 28 days longer than regular urea with acceptable quality levels of turf. The slow release fertilizer also restrained excessive growth of the grass, reduced the times of mowing. Slow release fertilizer used in this study reduced $NO_3$-N leaching by almost 50% at the beginning of turf establishment.
