For the development of flow duration curves for the management of 41 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) units of the Nakdong River basin, first, an equation for estimating daily flow rates as well as the level of correlation (correlation and determination coefficients) was extrapolated through regression analysis of discrete (Ministry of Environment) and continuous (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation) measurement data. The equation derived from the analysis was used to estimate daily flow rates in order to develop flow duration curves for each TMDL unit. By using the equation, the annual flow duration curves and flow curves, for the entire period and for each TMDL unit of the basin, were developed to be demonstrated in this research. Standard flow rates (abundant-, ordinary-, low- and drought flows) for major flow duration periods were calculated based on the annual flow duration curves. Then, the flow rates, based on percentile ranks of exceedance probabilities (5, 25, 50, 75, and 95%), were calculated according to the flow duration curves for the entire period and are suggested in this research. These results can be used for feasibility assessment of the set values of primary and secondary standard flow rates for each river system, which are derived from complicated models. In addition, they will also be useful for the process of implementing TMDL management, including evaluation of the target level of water purity based on load duration curves.

Using dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a labelling aid, insulin--$^{126}$ I of radioimmunoassay use has been effectively prepared. A small amount of DMSO was added to usual labelling mixture ana the reaction time was controled. The labelled insulin obtained in such a way showed improved bindabilities to the antibody and thus expressed larger dose-gradients in the plots of standard dose-response curves even though the labelling rate was decreased to some extent. However, by extending the reaction time to about 1 min, average labelling yield of 30% could be obtained. The average increase of bindability (B/F) in definite antiserum dilution was 2.5 comparing with 1.5 obtained in the absence of DMSO. Thus, the net bindability increase was 70% of those obtained in tile absence of DMSO. By means of a NMR spectrometry, it has been confirmed that the DMSO in the labelling mixtutre is converted to dimethylsulfone by chloramine-T. The results, generally agreed with the Stags's postulation, were discussed in view of a competitive oxidation of DMSO with disulfide linkages of the insulin molecule by the chloramine-T.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the instream flow of the South Han River Basin to ensure an adequate supply of suitable quality of water for preservation and enhancement of aquatic ecosystems. Proposed methods is Physical Habitant Simulation System of Instream Flow Incremental Methodology. Accurate estimation on a water depth and a velocity distribution was acquired by applying a two dimensional hydrodynamic model for a simulation of a hydraulic parameter necessary for the habitat evaluation to be used in a physical habitat simulation system. The Habitat Suitability Criteria with the application of univariate curve on zacco platypus as a representative fish was able to be established by conducting a field investigation. The establishment of a hydrological materialistic balance between upper and lower streams was confirmed by conducting a simulation simultaneously together with a mainstream section, which was excluded from the considered sections for the inhabitation evaluation of fish.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate on the applicability of Load Duration Curve (LDC) method using Maintenance of Variance Extension types 2 method and sampling data for efficient total maximum daily loads at the Nakbon-A unit watershed in Korea. The LDC method allows for characterizing water quality data such as BOD, TOC, T-N and T-P in this study at different flow regimes(or quarters). BOD usually exceeded the standard value (exceedance probability 50%) at low flow zone. On the other hand, TOC, T-N, T-P usually exceeded the standard value at dry and low flow zone. Seasonally all water quality variables usually exceeded the standard value at Q1(Jan-Mar) and Q2(Apr-Jun) zones. Improvement of effluent control from wastewater treatment plants are effective to improve BOD and T-P.

Baseflow which is one of the unmeasurable components of streamflow and slowly flows through underground is important for water resource management. Despite various separation methods from researches preceded, it is difficult to find a significant separation method for baseflow separation. This study applied the MRC method and developed the improved approach to separate baseflow from total streamflow hydrograph. Previous researchers utilized the whole streamflow data of study period at once to derive synthetic MRCs causing unreliable results. This study has been proceeded with total nine areas with gauging stations. Each three areas are selected from 3 domestic major watersheds. Tool for drawing MRC had been used to draw MRCs of each area. First, synthetic MRC for whole period and two other MRCs were drawn following two different criteria. Two criteria were set by different conditions, one is flow condition and the other is seasonality. The whole streamflow was classified according to seasonality and flow conditions, and MRCs had been drawn with a specialized program. The MRCs for flow conditions had low R2 and similar trend to recession segments. On the other hand, the seasonal MRCs were eligible for the baseflow separation that properly reflects the seasonal variability of baseflow. Comparing two methods of assuming MRC for baseflow separation, seasonal MRC was more effective for relieving overestimating tendency of synthetic MRC. Flow condition MRCs had large distribution of the flow and this means accurate MRC could not be found. Baseflow separation using seasonal MRC is showing more reliability than the other one however, if certain technique added up to the flow condition MRC method to stabilize distribution of the streamflow, the flow conditions method could secure reliability as much as seasonal MRC method.

본 연구에서는 금강 유역(9,645.5 km²)을 대상으로 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool)을 이용하여 장기간 지하수 양수와 산림 성장이 수문에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 1976년부터 2015년까지 40년의 지하수 이용량(GU)과 산림 성장(FG) 자료를 10년 단위(1980s; 1976~1985, 1990s; 1986~1995, 2000s; 1996~2005, 2010s; 2006~2015)로 구축하고, SWAT 입력자료와 증발산량 매개변수로 사용하여 연대별 지하수 양수와 산림 생장을 반영하였다. 금강 유역 내 위치한 2개의 다목적댐과 3개의 다기능 보에서 관측된 일별 유량으로 2006년부터 2015까지 10년을 검·보정하여 모델의 적용성을 검증하였다. 5지점에 대한 검보정 결과, NSE는 0.76에서 0.79, R²는 0.78에서 0.81, RMSE는 0.55 mm/day에서 1.96 mm/day, PBIAS는 -5.48%에서 8.56%로 통계적으로 유의한 수준으로 분석되었다. 적용성을 검증한 SWAT에 각 연대에 맞는 GU와 FG 정보를 입력하여 수문을 모의하였으며, 두 요인이 물순환에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 기상조건은 2010s로 고정하였다. 모의결과, GU와 FG 변화가 주는 영향으로 유역 출구의 총유출량은 7.8%(60.7 mm/year) 감소하였으며, 1980s과 2010s에서 각각 775.0 mm/year, 714.3 mm/year의 값을 보였다. 물순환 분석 결과, 지표유출, 중간유출, 기저유출, 침투량, 토양수분은 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 증발산량과 지하수 충전량(GWR)은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. GU의 증가로 인한 지하수위의 지속적인 감소가 GWR이 증가하는 원인으로 판단하였으며, 강우 기간에 포장용수량 이상의 토양수가 빠르게 흘러 지하수 충전량을 증가시켰다고 추론하였다. 또한, 유황 곡선을 분석한 결과, 유량이 지하수 양수와 산림 생장에 영향을 받은 지역에서 시간 흐름에 따라 감소하였고, 저유량 구간에서 상대적으로 많이 감소하였다.

In this study, WUA (Weighted Usable Area) based on the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) was calculated to determine ecological flow at JeonJu-Cheon by using River2D model. To calibrate River2D, simulation results for low flow conditions of River2D were compared with calibrated HEC-RAS simulation results and the optimum parameters were determined. The results were RMSE (0.18), NSE (0.71) and coefficient of determination (0.78) for velocity and RMSE (0.02), NSE (0.71), coefficient of determination (0.73) for water depth. The result shows that the model successfully simulates the water flows. A selected target fish species to build the habitat suitability index were composed of Zaccoplatypus and Coreoleuciscus splendidus. These species showed the highest occurrences over the past decade in f ish monitoring. Also, The WUA-Discharge curve was calculated with the suitability index in a medium flow conditions. From the result, WUA is changed according to flowrate. In the flowrate-WUA/A graph, ecological flow can be determined at $1.8{\sim}2.0m^3/s$ for Zaccoplatypus $2.0m^3/s$ and Coreoleuciscus splendidus $1.8m^3/s$ at JeonJu-Cheon upstream. When compared with flow-duration analysis, it is demonstrative that simulation results fitted ecological flow considering quantity of available habitat for each fish species.

Effects of three slow-release nitrogen fertilizers (Sulfur-coated urea, (SCU) Jin Hae Chemical Co. Korea(JHC); Tennessee Valley Authority. U.S.A(TVA); METAP, Japan) on the yield and nitrogen uptake of IR667 (Suwon 213) were investigated comparing with urea split application under the field condition with early and usual saeson cultivation. 1. SCU(JHC) was not superior than urea split application in yield and nitrogen nutrition due to early release of nitrogen. 2. SCU(TVA) outyielded urea split by 10% showed always highest nitrogen content in straw and most balanced relative cumulative curve of nitrogen uptake or dry matter yield. 3. At ear formation stage SCU(TVA) showed specially high nitrogen content which was highly correlated with number of grain per $m^2$ of field. 4. Only SCU(TVA) showed one peak curve of nitrogen uptake rate at ear formation stage while others showed two peak pattern. 5. nitrogen fertilizer recovery of slow-release fertilizers was higher than urea split in early season cultivation and SCU (TVA) (46.0) was higher but SCU(JHC) (38.9) was similar in compare with urea split(37.1) in usual season cultivation. 6. Most promising slow-release nitrogen to match plant requirement seems to be one mixed of various slow-release fertilizers having different release pattern.

The purpose of the present study is an attempt to investigate the effect of intraventricular taurine, which is a naturally occuring amino acid containing sulfur and has inhibitory action in brain, on heart rate and blood pressure in the urethane anesthetized rabbits and also to elucidate the mechanism of its cardiovascular actions. Taurine $(0.15{\sim}1.5\;mg)$ injected into the lateral ventricle of anesthetized normontensive rabbits produced a dose-related fall in arterial blood pressure and heart rate, which were marked and long-lasting along with considerable respiratory depression. However, the intravenous administration of taurine at the same dose with intraventricular injection did not induce any changes in blood pressure as well as heart rate. Depressor responses induced by taurine were inhibited significantly by pretreatment with chlorisondamine, clonidine, strychnine and bicuculline but not by atropine, vagotomy, propranolol and metoclopramide. Moreover, taurine did not affect the pressor responses of norepinephrine. Taurine-induced bradycardic effects were blocked clearly by pretreatment with chlorisondamine, propranolol, clonidine, strychnine and bicuculline, while they were not influenced by atropine, vagotomy and metoclopramide. These experimental results suggest that intraventricular taurine causes long-lasting hypotensive and bradycardic actions, and that these cardiovascular effects may be exerted through taurinergic (glycinergic) and GABAergic receptors which are associated with catecholaminergic neurons in brain.

L-THIA ACN-WQ 2016 모형 개선 연구에서는 침투량 산정, 다중 기상지점 등 유역 규모 확대를 목적으로 엔진 개선과 모형의 최적 매개변수 선정을 위해 최적화 알고리즘을 활용한 자동보정 모듈을 개발하였다. 개선된 침투량 초기손실 산정 계수를 적용한 침투량 산정 방법을 Green-Ampt 모형의 침투량 산정 결과와 비교한 결과 편차는 매우 작았으며, Green-Ampt 모형을 통해 산정된 침투량 범위 내에 분포되어 개선된 침투량 산정 방법의 결과가 유효한 값을 의미하는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 도출된 초기손실 산정 계수를 관계식으로 개발하여 L-THIA ACN-WQ 2018 모형 내에서 CN에 따른 초기손실량이 산정되도록 하였고, 이를 기반으로 침투량 및 기저유출량이 산정된다. 유역 규모 확대를 위해 다중 기상지점이 적용되도록 엔진 코드를 개선하였으며, 평창A와 고부A 유역을 대상으로 단일 기상지점과 다중 기상지점 적용에 따른 유출 해석을 유량지속곡선을 통해 비교 한 결과 다중 기상지점 적용에 따라서 평창A와 고부A 유역 모두 유황구간이 크게 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 고부A 유역은 우황 변동 특성이 크게 나타났는데, 지역적 강우 특성이 뚜렷한 유역에서는 유출해석에 매우 중요한 영향인자로 작용되는 것으로 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 L-THIA ACN-WQ 2018모형을 이용함에 있어 유역 특성에 알맞은 최적 매개변수 산정을 위해 유량 및 TN, TP 자동보정 툴을 개발하였다. 자동보정툴은 2개의 보정방안으로 개발하였다. 첫 번째는 유역 전체에 대해 하나의 최적매개변수를 도출하는 것이며, 두번째는 유역 내 다중 보정 지점을 통해 소유역별 최적매개변수를 도출하는 것이다. 이를 통해 사용자는 모형의 활용 목적 및 가용 가능한 보정 자료 등을 고려하여 모형의 최적 매개변수를 도출할 수 있다. 이렇게 개선된 L-THIA ACN-WQ 2018 모형을 총량단위유역 한강 평창A와 금강 고부A에 적용한 결과 유량은 NSE 0.76, 0.85로 매우 높게 나타났으며, TN, TP의 NSE는 0.64 ~ 0.86 로 매우 높은 적용성 결과가 도출되었다. Ryu(2016)의 연구 결과와 비교해보면 평창A는 NSE와 $R^2$ 수치로는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 유량 모의에서 일별 예측값 변화 폭에 큰 변화가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기존 L-THIA ACN-WQ 2016모형 결과에서는 일별 유량의 변동성이 매우 크지만, L-THIA ACN-WQ 2018 모형에서는 일별 유량 변동폭이 크게 감소하여, 유량 모의에 큰 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다
