CCGIS (Climate Change Adaptation Toolkit based on GIS) was developed to use as a tool for the climate change assessment and any relevant tasks involving climate change adaptation policy over Korean peninsula. The main objective of CCGIS is to facilitate an efficient and relevant information for the estimation of climate change vulnerability index by providing key information in the climate change adaptation process. In particular, the atmospheric modeling system implemented in CCGIS, which is composed of climate and meteorological numerical model and the atmospheric environmental models, were used as a tool to generate the climate and environmental IPCC SRES (A2, B1, A1B, A1T, A1FI, and A1 scenarios) climate data for the year of 2000, 2020, 2050, and 2100. This article introduces the components of CCGIS and describes its application to the Korean peninsula. Some examples of the CCGIS and its use for both climate change adaptation and estimation of vulnerability index applied to Korean provinces are presented and discussed here.

Proton therapy using the Bragg peak is one of the radiation therapies and can deliver its maximum energy to the tumor with giving least energy for normal tissue. A cross-sectional image of the human body taken with the computed tomography (CT) has been used for radiation therapy planning. The HU values change according to the tube voltage, which lead to the change in the boundary and thickness of the anatomical structure on the CT image. This study examined the changes in the Bragg peak of the brain region according to the thickness variation in the head phantom composed of several materials using the Geant4. In the phantom composed of a single material, the Bragg peak according to the type of media and the incident energy of the proton beams were calculated, and the reliability of Geant4 code was verified by the Bragg peak. The variation of the peak in the brain region was examined when each thickness of the head phantom was changed. When the thickness of the soft tissue was changed, there was no change in the peak position, and for the skin the change in the peak was small. The change of the peak position was mainly changed when the bone thickness. In particular, when the bone was changed only or the bone was changed together with other tissues, the amount of change in the peak position was the same. It is considered that measurement of the accurate bone thickness in CT images is one of the key factors in depth-dose distribution of the radiation therapy planning.

To obtain the principal data for useful treatment and processing of Korean geoduck (Panope japonica A. ADAMS) which inhabit mostly at Dong-Hae coastal area in Korea, changes of $NH_2$-N, TMAO, TMA, total creatinine, protein composition and fatty acid composition in raw and blanched geoduck muscle during storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were investigated. In addition, its chemical composition variation in the whole year was elucidated. The moisture content in geoduck muscle meat was 78.1% to 82% in the whole year. Particularly, in July its moisture content was maximum as 82% and in September minimum as 78.1%. Crude protein was in the range of 12.3-16.4%, crude lipid the average was 1.5%, crude ash on the average was 1.4%. The abundant fatty acids in geoduck muscle oil were $C_{16}$ : 0, $C_{16}$ : 1, $C_{18}$ : 0, $C_{18}$ : 1, $C_{20}$ : 5, and $C_{22}$ : 6 acids. During storage at $-20^{\circ}C$, content of unsaturated fatty acid such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, $C_{20}$ : 5) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, $C_{22}$ : 6)in raw geoduck muscle decreased somewhat and the raw geoduck was slightly oxidized. Trimethylamine (TMA), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN)and $NH_2$-N of raw muscle increased compared to blanched muscle. Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) was slightly decreased during the storage period. The muscle protein was approximately composed of 37% sarcoplasmic, 29% myofibrillar, 22% alkali soluble, and 12% stroma protein. Among several proteins, myofibrillar protein content decreased mostly, while the alkali-soluble and stroma protein content increased slightly during storage at $-20^{\circ}C$.

핵융합 장치의 플라즈마 운행동안 토카막 내벽에 도달하는 온도는 최저 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상이다. 또한 플라즈마 자체와 사용자(User)들의 시료로부터 방출되는 입자들에 의한 내벽 충격(damage)은 장기간의 안정적인 운행 및 연구에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 이러한 이유로 토카막 제작시 내벽 보호재의 선정은 매우 높은 비중을 차지한다. Graphite는 높은 융점과 가공의 용이성으로 토카막 내벽의 보호재로 선호되는 물질이다. 그러나 토카막 용기(vessel)에 사용되는 스테인레스 스틸(AISI 316LN)보다 약 50배 이상의 기체 방출율(outgassing rate)을 가진다. 그러므로 장착 이전의 초기 청정화 과정이 매우 중요하며, 특히 400m2의 약 2톤(2000kg)의 graphite가 사용되므로 대량 처리를 할 수 있는 방법의 선정도 함께 개발되어야 한다. 본 연구팀에서는 처음 10개 회사의 시제품을 검토한 후, 최종 2개 회사의 4가지 종류의 시료를 선정하였다. 선정된 시료는 Union Carbide의 ATJ와 Toyo Tanso의 IG-110, IG-43, Ig-430이다. 시료는 비절삭유(oil-free) 가공에 의해 80$\times$2$\times$3 (mm)의 크기로 제작되었고 에탄올과 메탄올 용액에서 초음파 세척되었다. 건조된 시료는 TDS(Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy) 장치에 장착되어 세 단계의 실험을 하였다. 처음은 승온(상온 ~100$0^{\circ}C$)에 의한 방출 기체의 성분 분석, 두 번째는 장기간 (2주) 대기 노출 후 주요 방출 기체의 온도에 따른 변화, 마지막으로는 특정 기체에서의 장기간 보관후, 주요 방출 기체의 온도에 따른 변화를 조사하였다. 다음 그림 1은 본 연구에서 사용된 TDS 장치의 개략도이고 그림 2는 TDS 장치에 장착 직 후와 대기 중 노출된 시료들의 온도증가에 따른 총 압력의 변화이다.

지난 수년간 4대강 살리기 사업으로 해당 하천은 16개 보로 막혔고 이로 인해 하천수위는 과거 대비 보상류지역은 높아지고 보 하류지역은 낮아졌다. 이에 따라 수문학적 관점에서 기존의 지표수-지하수 연계 특성에 많은 변화가 발생하였다. 이러한 특성 변화 등을 관측하기 위하여 4대강 사업 전, 후로 주요하천 주변 제내지에 지하수 관측정이 설치되었다. 본 연구에서는 4대강 주변 관측정을 대상으로 각 관측정의 지하수위와 지하수위 영향인자들 간의 상관관계를 분석하고, 관측정의 주요영향인자를 판단할 수 있는 지하수 관측정 평가방법을 제시하였다. 각 인자별 상관관계 분석은 피어슨 상관계수를 이용하였으며, 관측정 수위와 주요 영향인자(하천수위, 강우량)의 피어슨 상관계수가 0.7 이상이면 상관성이 높은 것으로 평가하였다. 낙동강 하천 주변 30개소 관측정에 적용한 결과, 10개소는 지하수위와 하천수위와의 상관계수가 0.70~0.93로 상관도가 높은 것으로 평가되었고, 20개소는 지하수와 하천수위와의 상관계수, 지하수와 강우량과의 상관계수 모두 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과는 대상 관측정의 모니터링 지속여부 결정, 목적에 맞는 대체 관측정 설치 등 향후 관측정들의 효율적이고 합리적인 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Korea is surrounded by the West Sea, the South Sea, and the East Sea. There are various points at which large and small rivers flow into the sea, and areas where these rivers meet the coast are vulnerable to disasters. Thus, it is necessary to study disaster prevention techniques based on coastal characteristics and the pattern of disasters. In this study, we analyzed the risk factors of disaster districts analyzed in comprehensive plans for the reduction of damage to coastal cities from storms and floods. As a result of standardization, four factors (tide level, intensive rainfall & typhoon, wave, and tsunami) were identified. Intensive rainfall & typhoon occurred along the West Sea, the South Sea, and the East Sea coast. Factors that should be considered to influence disasters are tide level for the West Sea, tsunami and tide level for the South Sea, and wave in the East Sea. In addition, disaster prevention techniques to address these factors are presented, focusing on domestic and overseas cases.

The main purpose of this study is to estimate tradial growth response and to predict the potential spatial distribution of major tree species(Pinus densiflora, Quercus mongolica, Quercus spp., Castanea crenata and Larix kaempferi) in South Korea, considering climate and topographic factors. To estimate radial growth response, $5^{th}$ National Forest Inventory data, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) and climatic data such as temperature and precipitation were used. Also, to predict the potential spatial distribution of major tree species, RCP 8.5 Scenario was applied. By our analysis, it was found that the rising temperature would have negative impacts on radial growth of Pinus densiflora, Castanea crenata and Larix kaempferi, and positive impacts on that of Quercus mongolica, Quercus spp.. Incremental precipitation would have positive effects on radial growth of Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica. When radial growth response considered by RCP 8.5 scenario, it was found that the radial growth of Pinus densiflora, Castanea crenata and Larix kaempferi would be more vulnerable than that of Quercus mongolica and Quercus spp. to temperature. According to the climate change scenario, Quercus spp. including Quercus mongolica would be expected to have greater abundance than its present status in South Korea. The result of this study would be helpful for understanding the impact of climatic factors on tree growth and for predicting the distribution of major tree species by climate change in South Korea.
