The average concentrations of COD and copper in the livestock sludge are $930,726{\pm}380.801$ mg/kg and $679{\pm}341$ mg/kg, respectively. Due to the high concentrations, dumping to the sea of the sludge could pose potential adverse effects to the marine environment. On the contrary, it could have economic advantages on land as the energy of biogas generated by decomposition of organisms and the compost in case of the sludge of good quality with the abundant nitrogen and phosphorus. Nevertheless, the amount of livestock sludge dumped to the sea in Korea increased sharply from 51,000 $m^3$ in 1997 to 2,745,000 $m^3$ in 2005. And also it had the high proportion of 27% in total amount of waste dumped into the sea (7,451,000 $m^3$) in 2007. It might cost between 20,000 won and 33,000 won to dump to the sea of the sludge. In comparison, it might cost 20,000 won to com- post the sludge. And its purification treatment even might cost just 10,000 won. It means that the disposal of the sludge at sea is the most expensive method to deal with the sludge, but ranchers, who engage in the livestock industry, still prefer the disposal at sea to the other methods on land such as the compost and purification treatment. In this article, therefore, we would analyze various factors in the ranchers' preference for the disposal of the sludge at sea, and then we could suggest some legal improvements to prevent and reduce pollution of the sea.

In this study, grain size distribution of dredged soil and suspended solid distribution of supernatant in containment area were measured and compared with design prediction for suitability evaluation on prediction of suspended solid concentration of supernatant in conventional design of containment area. In addition to that, relationship were also analyzed between current velocity and suspended solid concentration of supernatant. Evaluation results show a relatively good agreement between field measurement and design prediction. On contrast, field measurement and design prediction show a quite different value each other in the early stage of dredging or at a point that current velocity increases. It is believed that this is due to that conventional design method of containment area does not account for ponding depth and current velocity which change sensitively with dredging period. Since current velocity and distribution of suspended solid concentration measured simultaneously show a similar trend, it is observed that there exists a close relationship between current velocity and distribution of suspended solid concentration. Therefore, a new design method for containment area, which can consider sedimentation of suspended solid that changes with interface height of dredged soil, ponding depth, current speed of supernatant, is necessary in order to predict the situation change of containment area more precisely.

In this study, the relationship between the material properties and air permeability characteristics was examined, an experimental method to analyze the air permeability characteristics was presented, and experimental results were derived. The effects of compressive strength and apparent density of hardened concrete on air permeability characteristics were evaluated experimentally. Focusing on the mix proportions used in nuclear power plant concrete structures, concrete test specimens were manufactured and air permeability characteristics were measured according to changes in binder, maximum aggregate size, and water-binder ratio. The apparent density was over 2,400 kg/m³ for the OPC mix and the FA-35 mix, and the air permeability for both mixes were low, in the range of 0.1-0.2 L/min. On the other hand, in the case of the combination of FA-40, FA-45, and FA-M, the apparent density was measured to be less than 2,400 kg/m³ and the air permeability was measured to be more than 0.3 L/min, experimentally verifying that the apparent density is an important factor in air permeability characteristics.

In this paper, model experiments in the laboratory were carried out to predict the effluent concentrations of suspended solid in containment of dumping dredged soils and test results were compared with results estimated by the currently used design method. Model tests of simulating dumping the dredged soils with a pump dredger in field were performed with changing the influent concentration and the length of containment and effluent concentration of suspended solid with time were measured during tests. As results of comparing test results about effluent concentration with those estimated from the design method by US Army COE(1987), they were confirmed to be in relatively good agreements.

여수 연안 소형 정치망 2곳에 있어서 혼획과 투기에 대하여 2007년부터 2010년까지 26회의 조사를 실시하였다. 매년의 조업 일수는 어황이나 해황에 따라 변동이 심했으며, 최근에는 여름과 가을철에 해파리 때문에 조업을 포기하므로서 조업일수가 많지는 않았다. 어획된 전체 어종수는49종이었고, 어획후 전량투기되는 어종수는 7종(2007년)으로 나타났다.

분기 영령어의 예측 정확도는 시스템 전체 성능에 중대한 영향을 미친다. 여러 분기 예측 방식 가운데 하나인 "분기 정보의 투기적 사용" 은 분기 명령어의 가장 최근 기록을 일관되게 사용할 수 있도록 도와줌으로 해서 분기 예측의 정확도 향상에 크게 기여한다. 하지만 이와 같은 기법은 미완료 분기에 대한 히스토리를 투기적으로 사용하는 방식이다. 따라서 사용되는 정보가 올바르지 못할 수 있으며, 이런 경우 적절한 복구 기법을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 분기 정보의 투기적 사용에 대한 필요성과 효율적인 복구 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 이전 연구와 비교하여 상당한 하드웨어 요구량의 감소를 가져왔으며, 또한 프로그램 수행의 정확성을 해치지 않으면서 최대 $3.3\%$의 성능향상을 보였다.

농가는 소사육 사업을 투기적인 사업으로 접근하려는 생각부터 버려야 한다. 값이 좋으면 빚을 내서라도 소입식을 늘리고 떨어지면 무조건 내다파는 단기적인고 즉흥적인 경영보다는 축산업을 평생사업으로 생각하고 품질의 고급화, 위생수준의 고도화등 기술향상에 배전의 노력을 쏟아야 할 것이다.

To solve the problem of saturated dredged soil dumping area, it is possible to extend the life span of dredged soil dumping area by accelerating consolidation of dredged soil and making alluvial soil layer consolidated additionally by using dewatering method and PDF method without construction of new dumping area which entails great expense. Self-weight consolidation tests on samples from Busan and Incheon with the column of 400 mm in diameter were conducted to estimate those methods applicability to domestic dredged soil. As a result of tests, it was proved that dewatering method and PDF method were highly effective in increasing reclamation capacity of dredged soil by reduction of self-weight consolidation completion time and increase of self-weight consolidation settlement.

This study examines the relationship between sentiment of speculators and price movements in the futures markets of WTI crude oil, copper, and wheat during the period 2003~2014 using Granger causality tests. The results indicate that speculative positions overall has no predictive power for returns in each futures market. Rather, returns seem to have effects on speculators' sentiment especially during periods of both economic expansion and recovery. During a recession, meanwhile, changes of speculators' sentiment index in the WTI crude oil and copper markets provide predictive power for returns in a positive direction, suggesting that speculators' pessimistic sentiment aggravates declines in commodity prices. Since the effects of speculative positions on market prices are ambiguous, tight regulations on speculative trading are not advisable. In a bearish market, however, regulatory bodies should consider raising speculative position limits because large speculative short positions and (or) liquidation of index traders' long positions may lead steep price declines.

Teshima is a quiet and beautiful island, but started to be imaged as an "island of wastes" because of the 600,000 tons of industrial wastes thrown there illegally. Now it symbolizes the problem of industrial wastes in Japan. Teshima development company, an industrial waste disposer, started to dispose industrial wastes illegally in the west side of the island, since the late 1970s. Police Station exposed this illegal act, and arrested 6 persons of the company, including its president, in charge of having violated the Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing Law in 1991. This illegal disposition has continued for 13years until it was exposed by the police. Teshima case of industrial wastes are introduced in this paper.
