The Wangdol-cho area, in the Hupo Bank, plays a very important role in main fishing grounds, leisure tourism and marine environmental researches of the East Sea. We analyzed the detailed bathymetry and classified the seabed characteristics of the Wangdol-cho area, based on seafloor backscattering images and sediment grain size. The Hupo Bank is developed in parallel with the eastern coastal line of Korean peninsula, and the shallowest area (Wangdol-cho) of the Hupo Bank is located along the eastern part of Hupo Port. The Wangdol-cho comprises three summits; north summit, middle summit, and south summit. The middle summit area among the three summits has the most shallow water depth with minimum about 6 m. The north summit shows about 8 m minimum depth and the south summit about 9 m. The bathymetry data around three summits represent undulating seabeds with many scattered underwater reefs and shallow water depth. The area between the underwater reefs, the flat seafloor in the northeastern part of the survey site, and the western steep slope area have relatively coarse sediments such as sandy gravel and gravelly sand. The bathymetry in the western side of the Wangdol-cho shows steep slope seabed, extending to the Hupo Basin. Fine sediments including mud and silty sand occur in the Hupo Basin area of the survey site. The submarine detailed topography and the analysis of the seafloor characteristics of the survey area are expected to contribute to management for marine environmental researches and sustainable use of ecosystems in the Wangdol-cho.

For moderately jointed to massive rock masses, the failure and deformation behaviors around an excavated opening are absolutely influenced by the initial rock stress and strength of in-situ rock mass. The localized and progressive brittle failure around an opening does not mean whole collapse of an excavated opening. But, for many cases, it may induce temporary stopping of excavation works and reexamination of the current supporting system, which can result in delay of the entire construction works and additional construction cost. In this paper, the characteristics of the brittle failure around an opening with stress level and tunnel shape was studied by the biaxial compressive test using scaled specimen and by the numerical simulation with $PFC^{2D}$. The biaxial test results were well coincided with the stress induced failure patterns around the excavated openings observed and monitored in the in-situ condition. For the circular part of the opening wall, the stress induced cracks initially occurred at the wall surface in the direction of the minimum principal stress and contributed to the localized notch shaped failure region having a certain range of angle. But for the corner and straight part of the opening wall, the cracks initiated at sharp corners were connected and coalesced each other and with existing micro cracks. Further they resulted in a big notch shaped failure region connecting two sharp corners.

A total of 10 islands (Kumodo and Komundo in Yeosu City; Oinarodo in Goheung County; Chongsando, Soando, and Pogildo in Wando County; Chodo in Jindo County; Uido, Huksando, and Hongdo in Shinan County) were surveyed to confirm distribution of naturalized plants from June 2006 to December 2008. A total of 100 naturalized plants taxa from 25 families were recorded. The highest number of naturalized plant species (82 taxa) was recorded on Oinarodo, while the lowest number was recorded on Hongdo (42 taxa) and on Uido (34 taxa). A total of 26 naturalized species taxa (such as Dactylis glomerata, Lolium perenne, Bromus unioloides, Rumex obtusifolius, Chenopodium album, Phytolacca americana, Barbarea vulgaris, Lepidium apetalum, Robinia pseudo-acacia, Trifolium repens, Erigeron annuus, Erigeron canadensis, Senecio vulgaris, Xanthium strumarium) was recorded in all study areas. Distribution of naturalized plants were categorized into 7 habitat types based on ecological traits: afforested land, beach, port, and vacant land, road boundary, road cut and slope area, waste arable land, landfill area, and wetland. Systematic management is required to conserve unique landscape, species diversity, vegetation and ecosystem of Dadohae National Park. In order to manage the naturalized plants in Dadohae National Park, basic surveys are most needed to understand distribution and dispersal of naturalized plants communities based on ecological features of each habitat type.

The goal of this study was to investigate the diversity of wild yeasts from the waters and soils of Haegeumgang in Gyungsangnam-do, and Namdaecheon and Geumsancheon in upstream of Geumgang, Korea and to characterize any previously unrecorded wild yeast strains. In total, 52 strains comprising 22 different species of wild yeasts were isolated from 35 samples obtained from Haegeumgang. Forty three and sevent nine wild yeast strains were isolated from 90 samples taken from Namdaecheon and Geumsancheon, respectively. Among the total 174 isolated wild yeast strains, 4 strains, i.e., Exobasidium rhododendri HGG10-5 (NNIBR2022633FG1), Udeniomyces pyricola NDC29-1 (NNIBR2022633FG2), Diddensiella caesifluorescens GSC2-2 (NNIBR2022633FG5) and Pichia scaptomyzae BAC2-3 (NNIBR2022633FG4) were previously unrecorded yeasts were oval or spherical in shape, only Pichia scaptomyzae BAC 2-3 formed ascospores. Three strains with the exception of Udeniomyces pyricola NDC 29-1 grew well in vitamin-free medium and Exobasidium rhododendri HGG 10-5 grew well in YPD medium containing 10% NaCl. All four novel strains assimilated fructose, lactose, raffinose, starch and xylose.

Property development along railway lines is a critical issue at present. Because various railway lines exist in most large cities, there are numerous properties and open spaces to be developed for communities associated with these lines. The active development of railway properties can be a means to resolve housing shortage problems in cities. In this first part of this paper, noise and vibration levels of an artificial area of land and apartment complex are measured and evaluated to derive a design strategy for vibration reduction purposes.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of geochemical approaches for investigating and assessing heavy metal contamination in abandoned mine sites. Major sources of contaminants at the abandoned mine sites are mine water, waste rocks, tailings, and chemicals used in beneficiation and mineral processing. Soil, sediment, surface and ground water, and ecological system can be contaminated by heavy metals, which are transported due to erosion of mine waste piles, discharge of acid mine drainage and processed water, and dispersion of dust from waste rocks and tailings. The abandoned mine sites should be characterized using various methods including chemical analysis, mineralogical analysis, acid generation prediction tests, leaching/extraction tests, and field tests. Potential and practical environmental impacts from the abandoned mines should be assessed based on the site characterization.

There are three major processes to impact the groundwater flow near underground storage caverns in the coastal area; effect of topography, effect of sea water intrusion, and effect of excavation. In this paper, the effects of three items were numerically studied to identify the major cause for altering the flow pattern. It turned out that the excavation is the most significant effect on the groundwater flow system. The groundwater pressure distributions and consequent groundwater pathways were significantly altered near the openings. By increasing the groundwater pressures from water curtain holes, the potential leakage of storage cavern was properly prevented

Ultra-wideband propagation measurement results for body area network scenarios are presented. We assumed several different scenarios for around-body and on-body propagations, and for each scenario, we conducted both time domain and frequency domain measurements in an anechoic chamber. For the around-body case, we investigated the effects of human body parts blocking line-of-sight, which could be accounted for by diffraction. On-body measurement results indicate a more complicated propagation mechanism exists in on-body propagation than in around-body propagation and antenna characteristics are affected.

본 연구는 1963년 천연기념물로 지정된 성류굴 주변의 관광상업지역 특성을 조사하여 관광지의 조성이 관광상업지역의 발전에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는가를 살펴보는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구를 위한 설문조사는 1998년 8월 29일에 관광상업지역 내의 전 상점을 대상으로 하여 이루어졌으며, 그 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 관광상업지역에는 10년 이상 된 업체가 절반 이상(52.6%)의 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 상점의 경영 동기는 관광객을 대상으로 하기 때문에 수익성이 좋을 것 같아서 개업한 경우가 많았고(57.9%), 경영주의 전직은 상업(31.6%)과 농업(26.3%)이 많았으며, 상점의 규모는 10평 미만의 상점을 운영하는 상점들이 많았으며, 20평 이상의 상점을 경영하는 경우는 개업한 지 10년 이상 된 장기 경영자들이 주류를 이루었다. 둘째, 경영주의 학력을 조사한 결과 고졸 출신들이 가장 많았고(52.6%), 현재의 업종을 구분한 결과 기념품점과 식당이 주류를 이루고 있었다. 또한 업종 변경을 고려하고 있는 가라는 질문에는 절반 이상(52.6%)이 고려하지 않고 있으며, 변경을 고려하는 경우에도 식당을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 상점의 소유 형태를 살펴본 결과 임대하여 운영하는 경우(63.2%)가 더 많음을 알 수 있었고, 한편 개업연도와 소유 및 임대별 상황과 직주 분리 현황을 교차 비교한 결과 상점을 소유하고 있는 경영주보다 임대하고 있는 경영주가 직주분리를 더 선호하고 있다. 마지막으로 관광객들의 관광상품에 대한 불만 정도를 조사한 결과 대부분의 상점(78.9%)이 불만을 듣지 않고 있다. 이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 최근 들어 강원도의 신흥 동굴관광지 조성으로 인해 관광객들이 감소하고 있으며, 이것은 성류굴 주변의 관광상업지역에도 영향을 미쳐 관광상업지역의 발전에 저해요소가 되고 있음을 알 수 있다.
