A biotite that substantially altered to chlorite and vermiculite in hornblende gneiss from Cheonyang, Korea, has been investigated with electron microprobe analysis. The data show the general variational trends of Ti and K-leaching with increased weathering. However, the chloritization is characterized by Si- conservative reaction and relatively dramatic increase of Al-for-(Fe+Mg) octahedral substitution, whereas the vermiculitization is characterized by total Mg-conservative and Ca-enriching exchange reaction. In the initiating stage the vermiculitization proceeded in a continuous decrease of the Al-for-Si tetrahedral substitution and an increase of the Al-for-(Fe+Mg) octahedral substitution, supporting the currently accepted weathering process. But it differs in the late stage, in which AI(IV) and Fe increase significantly. Recalculations of the structural formular for vermiculite on the basis of several assumptions indicate that the oxidation of Fe is necessary for vermiculite to form the reasonable strutural formular. The relative timing of the oxidation of Fe probably occurs in the late stage, supported by the substantial increase of the Al-for-Si tetrahedral substitution.

This study was undertaken to investigate the origin of suspended matter to induce turbidity water in Gachang dam in view of environmental geology. During the period from May to August 2004, field works and sampling were carried out three times at the dam and along its streams, and chemical and mineralogical analyses such as ICP, IC, particle size analyzer, XRD and SEM were made on water, soil and suspended matter in water. Electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, the contents of cation and anion increase from upstream toward the dam mostly due to the geological factors such as weathring of the rocks causing the increase of the total ion content. Vermiculite, illite, kaolinite, quartz, feldspar and iron hydroxide are commonly found in suspended matters in water and soils. Finer particles (d10) in soil increase slightly toward downstream and the vermiculite content is highest in the dam water. Since geological differences are not significant, mineralogy are similar in suspended matters and soils. Clay mineral compositions present in suspended matters were alsmost the same as those in soils, indicating the origin of soils by weathering of host rocks and being transported to the dam by stream water.

도시녹지 면적 확대의 해결책으로 부각되고 있는 옥상정원은 조성이 용이해야 하며, 옥상정원 조성에 있어 가장 문제시되는 하중 또한 고려되어야 한다. 이러한 문제들로 인해 최근 경량 인공토양의 이용 필요성이 부각되고 있으나, 자연토양에 비해 고가(高價)라는 이유로 자연토양이 주로 이용되거나, 인공토양이 이용되더라도 대부분 무기질계 단종(斷種) 인공토양만으로 시공되고 있어 식물 생육측면에서 단점 보완이 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 옥상정원 조성에 이용 가능한 유·무기질계 인공토양들을 혼합 조성하여 그 물리·화학적 특성을 살펴보고, 각각의 혼합 인공토양 및 토심에 따른 식물생육을 조사해 봄으로써 이용 가능성을 살펴보았다. 12종류의 혼합 경량 인공토양 및 5종류의 토심(5, 10, 20, 30cm)으로 조성된 인공지방산에 2000년 6월 7일 비비추(Hosta longipes)를 정식하였으며, 정식 112일 후에 최종 생육조사를 실시하였다. 혼합 경량 인공 토양 및 토심에 따른 토양의 물리 화학성은 인공토양 분석법을 기초로 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과, 1) 질석;피트모스(1:1, v/v), 펄라이트:질석:피트모스(1:1:2, v/v/v), 펄라이트;피트모스;입상암면(1:1:1, v/v/v) 혼합 경량 인공토양에서 비비추의 생육이 가장 좋았으며, 물리·화학성도 다른 토양에 비해 양호하였고, 하중도 적게 측정되었다. 2) 토심에 따른 비비추의 생육에서는 토심 10∼20cm에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않아, 토심 10cm에서도 자생 초화류의 생육이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 3)또한 인공토양의 물리·화학적 특성과 식물 생육(생체중)과의 상관관계를 조사한 결과 전기전도도(EC), Na함량 및 토양표면 온도가 식물 생육에 있어 다른 요인들에 비해 더 큰 영향을 끼침을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 위의 결과들을 살펴볼 때 혼합 경량 인공토양은 토심을 낮추어 하중을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 식물 생육측면에서도 긍정적인 효과를 나타내 기존 건물의 옥상정원에서도 이용이 가능할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 본 실험에서는 더 나아가 저장기적인 혼합 인공토양의 물리·화학성 변화 및 식물생육을 살펴보는 연구 또한 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Artificially crushed sands occupy approximately 30 percent of the total consumption in South Korea. The demand for the crushed sands is expected to rise in the future. Most manufacturers use granitic rocks to produce the crushed sands. During the manufacturing process, fine fractions (i.e., sludges or particles smaller than 63 microns) are removed through the process of flocculation. The fine fraction occupies about 15% of the total weight. The sludges are comprised of quartz, feldspars, calcite, and various kinds of clay minerals. Non-clay minerals occupy more than 75 percent of the sluges weight, according to the XRD semi-quantification measurement. Micas, kaolinites, chlorite, vermiculite, and smectites occur as minor constituents. The sludges from Jurassic granites contain more kaolinites and $14{\AA}$-types than those from the Cretaceous ones. The chemical analysis clearly shows the difference between the parent rocks and the sludges in chemical compositions. Much of colored components in the sludges was accumulated as the weathering products. Particle size analysis results show that the sludges can be categorized as silt loam in a sand-silt-clay triangular diagram. This result was for her confirmed by the hydraulic conductivity data. In South Korea, the sludges remained after crushed sand production are classified as an industrial waste because of their impermeability, and which is caused by their high silt and clay fractions.

This study was carried out to assess optimum conditions of peatmoss-based substrates for red pepper plug seedlings. Peatmoss-based substrates prepared by mixing of peatmoss with vermiculite, perlite, rice hull and zeolite at various mixing ratios were used for growing pepper plug seedlings. The physical and chemical properties of the peatmoss substrate were analyzed by the CEN(European committee for standardization) method. Fresh and dry weights (shoot, root), leaf area, root length and T/R ratio (dry shoot weight/dry root weight) were determined at 55 days after sowing. The results showed that the growing media PVSZ 6 (peatmoss:silver vermiculite: zeolite=6:3.9:0.1) and PVGZ 6 (peatmoss:gold vermiculite: zeolite=6:3.9:0.1) can successfully be used for red pepper plug seedlings judging from dry weight and T/R ratio of the plug seedlings. The optimal ranges of total pore space, water volume, air volume, easily available water content and water buffering capacity of the peatmoss based growing media for pepper plug seedlings were 87~93%, 52~71%, 20~41%, 10~37% and 0.6~10%, respectively.

This experiment was carried out to investigate optimum conditions of coir-based substrates for the red pepper plug seedlings. Eleven different coir based substrates prepared by mixing of coir, vermiculite, rice hull, perlite, zeolite, mixed at different ratios were tested. The physical and chemical properties of the substrates were analyzed by the CEN (European committee for standardization) method. Fresh and dry weights of shoot and root, leaf area, root length, and T/R ratio (dry shoot weight/dry root weight) were determined at 55 days after sowing. The results showed that the growing media CRZ 8(coir:rice hull: vermiculite=8:1.9:0.1) and CVSZ 6(coir:silver vermiculite: zeolite=6:3.9:0.1) can successfully be used for pepper plug seedlings judging from dry weight and T/R ratio of the plug seedlings. The optimal range of total pore space, water volume, air volume, easily available water content and water buffering capacity of the coir-based growing substrates for pepper plug seedlings were in the range of 92~94%, 52~60%, 32~43%, 18~21%, and 0.9~8%, respectively.

This study was carried out to compare physical properties of the horticultural substrates measured by the European standard methods (CEN methods) and the Rural Development Administration of Korea methods (RDA methods). Sixty horticultural substrates including 40 marketed substrates and 10 organic and inorganic raw materials such as peat moss, coir dust, rice hull, perlite and zeolite were sampled. The samples were then analyzed for 6 physical properties by both CEN methods and RDA methods. The results of both methods were analyzed by linear regression. Bulk density ($R^2=0.8304$), particle density ($R^2=0.8136$) and porosity ($R^2=0.6374$) values measured by the two methods were highly significant. Whereas those for easily available water (EAW, $R^2=0.3327$), water volume ($R^2=0.2692$) and air volume ($R^2=0.0739$) were not significant. Further research is needed to facilitate the conversion between the two methods.

The purposes of this study are first, to develop the group counseling program based on Satir’s family sculpture technique, second to investigate the therapeutic factors of Satir’s family sculpture in group counseling. To perform this study, 8 session of time limited(3 hours) group counseling were carried out. There were 12 participants in this group. The major findings were as follows: 1) the rank order fro therapeutic factors were university, group cohesiveness, instillation of hope, family reenactment, self-understanding and altruism. 2) through the family sculpture technique, group participants saw their communication patterns. They found out that use communication patterns to hide their low self-esteem. They learned the alternative communication style. 3) the participants developed the sense of self-disclosure, empathy and trust in the group. Self disclosure, empathy and trust facilitated a deeper level of therapeutic group interaction. 4) in observing their group members do their family sculpture, participants found out that every family has some problem that the family conflict is universal thing, 5) the participants had opportunity to share their feelings that were hidden deep inside Intensive emotions following self disclosure led to catharsis, 6) the participants developed a good feeling toward their group and it led to group cohesiveness. 7) through the family sculpture technique, the participants gained a better understanding on their role and position within their families 8) through the family sculpture technique, they gained a better understanding of their family. They found their family members’ psychological positions and unfinished emotional businesses and thus they could restructure their family sculptures. 9) the participants had the opportunity to feel what it is like to become parents themselves, They became to see their parents as individuals. 10) the participants acted out what they wanted to do but could not do in the past. They saw the possibility of change and development in themselves.
