The DMZ is a 248km long thin green line which has various landscapes of fields, hills and mountains. This study focused on western part of DMZ and vicinity which consist of abandoned rice paddy, wetlands and fields. The main purpose of this study is to detect the vegetation vitality from the western part of MDL to DMZ vicinity and identify and quantify ecological buffer(ecotone) width adopting logistic function derived from 'Vegetation Index-distance curve' using an Landsat ETM+ image acquired on June of 2002. Green leaf vegetation was quantified to identify the ecotone buffer in western DMZ and vicinity(civilian control area: CCA) using Transformed Vegetation Index(TVI) which is one of common measurement among various indices. Vegetation measurement from Military Demarcation Line(MDL) to vicinity area was investigated at 500m intervals to 10kms of southern and northern part of western DMZ and vicinity. The Logistic function models the sigmoid curve of growth with three stages of growth of initial competition and maturity. In the TVI-distance logistic curve, the maturity is high vegetation vitality, the competition is vitality changing, and the initial is low vitality. In the TVI-distance curve, maturity area of high TVI value is core area for ecological conservation, and the competition area between inflection points can be an ecotone(ecological buffer). In case of southern part, maximum TVI value is 221.92 and minimum is 207.16, and maximum TVI of northen part is 215.32 and minimum is 188.35. That means forest devastation of north Korean part of DMZ and vicinity is severer than that of south Korea. The width of core area for ecological conservation is 2,311m, and ecotone in the southern part is 5,339m, so minimum width from MDL for ecological conservation can be computed as 7,651m. In case of Northern part, the width of core area is 1,841m, and ecotone buffer is 5,014m, so ecological conservation width can be estimated as 6,855m. In case of northen part, width of estimated core area is less than that of DMZ width, which means ecological disturbance is very severe in northern part of western DMZ.

The author reviewed four cases of multiple lung metastases who were treated by whole lung irradiation alone for palliation. All patients tolerated the treatment well without complication. Two patients who had symptoms from pulmonary metastases had subjective relief of symptoms and all four patients had objective regression of lung metastases on repeat chest X-rays. Present report and review of literature support that some selected patients with multiple lung metastases can be benefited by whole lung Irradiation. However, systemic chemotherapy should be main modality of treatment for this kind of disseminated disease whenever possible.

Farming activity was the second cause of forest fire following the carelessness. In this study, 74 forest fires caused by farming activity and waste burning in 2009 was investigated for analyzing ignition patterns. The main cause to bring about forest fire was the farming waste burning as 25 cases, burning of farming waste matter after product and household waste burning were the second causes as 19 cases. Landcovers which transfer flame from ignition point to forest were fallow field graveyard, field fruit farm, field levee fallow field. The average distance between ignition point and forest sleeve was 19 m, and the maximum distance was 130 m. The probability of forest fire ignition was high in the 100 m buffer zone from the forest sleeve that is the prohibition rule of fire use for forest fire prevention at the forest fire season.

Wetland ecosystem is one of the most productive one in nature. Wetland is an areas in which transit between terrestrial and stream ecosystem. This study aims at identifying fanua (birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles) in urban stream of Dorim. A total of 3 orders, 6 families and 9 species for mammals; 17 families, 30 species of birds; 3 families and 4 species of amphibians and 2 families and 3 species of reptiles were reported. This is a through study for species identification in Dorim steams. This study suggested that various organisms were found around Dorim stream and this study will better serve as a stepping stone for wetland restoration and establishment of biotope where organisms breed and survive.

본 연구에서는 K-mean 알고리즘을 이용하여 수지조사지점을 클러스터링하고, 수질변화 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 현행 용담댐 저수지의 호내 수질조사점은 10개소를 운용하고 있으나, 샘플링의 경제성과 효율성을 위하여 수질변동 특성이 유사한 몇 개의 지점으로 클러스터링을 할 필요성이 있다. 군집의 개수를 3개, 4개, 5개로 변화해 가면서 알고리즘을 적용한 결과, 크게 3개의 영역으로 분류되었다. 즉, 지류의 유입부분과 용담호의 중류 지역 그리고 댐앞 지점으로 분류되었다. 지류로 부터의 오염부하 유입에 따른 영향을 직접적으로 받는 3번, 8번, 9번 조사지점은 수질변동 특성이 유사한 것으로 분석되었으나, 공간적으로 이격되어 있어 조사지점을 계속 유지하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 용담호의 중류에 해당하는 5번, 6번, 7번 지점은 하천과 호소의 중간적인 성격을 지닌 전이지대(transitional zone)에 해당하며, 수질변동특성이 유사하여 하나의 조사지점으로 통합하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다. 1번, 2번, 4번 조사지점은 댐앞 지점으로써 호소의 성격이 강한 지점으로 볼 수 있으며, 하나의 조사지점으로 통합할 수 있다. 통합된 조사지점의 강우기 수질 변화는 매우 유사한 패턴을 보이고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Wetlands are a transitional zone between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and a habit for the various biospheres. The main purpose of this study is to suggest a new technique that establishes the management districts of inland wetlands. To establish management districts of sub-watershed units, this study used the BurnDEM techniques. The management district resulted form this study are assessed its effectivity using an overlap of inland wetland map and sub-watershed maps classified by 18 sub-watershed. The result of this study could be applied to build a national inland wetland database.

산업은 흔히 생명체처럼 일종의 라이프사이클을 따르는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 이들은 태어나서, 젊고 활력 넘치는 성장기를 거쳐, 투자기, 발전기의 과정으로 나아가며 일정한 지점에 이르게 되면 성숙과 힘을 성취한다 이 지점에 서 기술개발속도는 떨어지며, 발전 중이거나 새로이 산업화한 경제 속에서 다음 세대가 탄생한다. 이 새로운 세대가 낮은 코스트를 기반으로 힘을 성취해가게 됨에 따라, 초창기의 생산 기반에 자리잡은 구세대의 활력과 경쟁력은 점차 약화된다. 그리하면 구세대는 결실을 맺고 지루한 종반전(end-game)인 쇠 퇴기에 접어든다. 이러한 탄생, 쇠퇴 그리고 훨씬 낮은 코스트를 기반으로 하는 경제로의 이 전이라는 라이프사이클은 일부 중공업에서는 쉽게 관찰되지만. 그밖의 다른 산업분야에서는 명확하지 않다. 조선업의 경우는 어떠한가. 선진 조선국의 조선 업이 성숙기에서 그 경쟁력 유지가 가능할 것인가, 아니면 이들 산업이 일련 의 보다 낮은 코스트 지대로 옮겨가는 것이 필연적인가. 이 글에서 필자들은 전술한 라이프사이클이라는 분석틀을 사용하여 이 같은 물음과 관련된 몇 가지 문제를 살펴보고자 한다

The theoretical treatment of statistical properties and distribution relevant to nonlinear random wave field of moderate bandwidth such as peak and trough of wave elevation is an overdue task hampered by the complicated form of nonlinear random waves. In this study, the extreme distribution of nonlinear random waves is derived based on the simplified version of Longuet-Higgins' wave model. It is shown that the band width of wave spectrum has a significant influence on these extreme distribution and the significant wave height is getting larger in an increasing manner as the nonlinearity is getting profound.

A coastal wetland is the important area of diverse biodiversity as a transitional zone between coast and land. The results of surveying the flora were recorded as 310 taxa; 85 families, 212 genera, 278 species, 27 varieties and 5 forma. The halophytes were 14 taxa; Atriplex gmelini, Salsola komarovii, Suaeda asparagoides and so forth. The hydrophytes and hygrophytes were 23 taxa; Boehmeria spicata, Persicaria hydropiper, Persicaria japonica and so forth. The naturalized plants were 40 taxa; Fagopyrum esculentum, Rumex crispus, Chenopodium ambrosioides and so forth. The specific plants for the floral region were 28 taxa; Pteris multifida, Cyrtomium fortunei, Dryopteris erythrosora and so forth. In future, the flora of coastal wetland will be analyzed in series, and community dynamics and species composition for the halophytes will be studied.

The estuary is a transition zone where fresh water and salt water meet because the stream is connected to the open sea area. So estuaries have very high biodiversity and form a unique ecosystem. However, before the recognition of the ecological value of the estuaries, various damage and disturbances have been occurred so countermeasures are needed. The river master plan is acting as a disturbance factor. However, the river master plan has the public object such as water disaster defense, river function improvement, and national water resources management. Therefore, it is necessary to study the ways in which the opposite relationship of development and ecosystem protection coexist. In this study, the concept of environmental windows were used to estimate the low impact development duration. We expected that proposed method for low impact development duration estimation can be used as a basis and basic data to protected the ecosystem from development project and disturbance in the future.
