Asian dust (Hwangsa) interacts with light, atmospheric gas, aerosol, and marine ecosystem, affecting Earth climate. Mineralogical properties are essential to understand the interaction between the dust and environments. In this study, we examined the mineralogical properties of Asian dust collected at Deokjeok Island, Incheon, Korea in February 22, 2015. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that phyllosilicate minerals (62 wt%) dominate the Asian dust. Illite-smectite series clay minerals (55%) were common with minor chlorite (5%) and kaolinite (2%). Non-phyllosilicate minerals were quartz (18%), plagioclase (10%), K-feldspar (4%), calcite (4%), and gypsum (1%). Similar results were obtained by mineral quantification using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). Transmission electron microscopy combined with EDS confirmed illite-smectite series clay minerals as the dominant phyllosilicate type. Morphological analyses using SEM showed clay agglomerates, clay-coated quartz, feldspars, and micas. Gypsum grains were common on the particle surface, while calcite nanofibers, previously reported as common on the surface, were rare, indicating the reaction of calcite and acidic atmospheric pollutants to form gypsum. The analytical result of 2015 Asian dust would contribute to the establishment of mineralogical base for the modeling of the interaction between Asian dust and environments.

Reddish brown clay-silt sediments covered granitoid weathering crust in the Jangdongri area, Naju, Korea. Mineralogical and geochemical properties of the ~2 m sediment section were investigated. The sediments were composed mainly of quartz (50%) and clay minerals (45%) with minor contents of K-feldspar, goethite, hematite, and gibbsite. The clay minerals were illite, illite-smectite mixed-layers, vermiculite, hydroxy-Al vermiculite, kaolinite, and halloysite. Mineral composition varied little through the section with the minor upward enrichment of plagioclase and chlorite. Abundant illitic clay minerals indicated the remote source of the sediments because clays derived by granite weathering in Korea were dominated by kaolin minerals. A comparison with the mineral composition of Asian dust (Hwangsa) suggested that plagioclase and K-feldspar disappeared by chemical weathering after deposition, resulting in the quartz and clay-rich sediments. Plagioclase and chlorite altered to kaolin and vermiculite, respectively. Goethite and hematite derived by the weathering of iron-bearing minerals stained the sediment to reddish brown color. The mineralogical and geochemical properties of the reddish brown clay-silt sediments were consistent with those of eolian deposits identified in Korea, supporting eolian origin of the Jangdongri sediments, requiring future confirmation including age dating and isotopic analysis.

The Stupa of Buddhist Monk Soyo in Baegyangsa temple, Jangseong, was erected to pay a tribute to the achievement of the Buddhist monk Soyo, who worked for Baegyangsa temple as a chief monk, and is a bellshaped stupa with the detailed pattern of a Korean traditional buddhist bell. It is composed of pinkish-grey sandstone and the body of the stupa was damaged by longitudinal cracks on the front and back areas and the exfoliation caused break-out in the most part of the sculpture on the left and right areas. According to the ultrasonic test and infrared thermography analysis for physical deterioration diagnosis, most weathering aspects appeared on the body of the stupa and some exfoliated part that could not be seen with the naked eye was detected 6.1% and 5.9% on the left and right side respectively. Hyperspectral imaging analysis was also carried out to assess biological deterioration. According to the result, the surface of the stupa was covered 71.8 ~ 79.9% with vegetation like algae, lichen and moss. NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was higher relatively on the bottom part near the ground, right and back areas of the stupa. Therefore conservation treatment for the exfoliated part and bio-deterioration is necessary and the environment condition needs to be fixed to prevent extra damages on the stupa.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of limestone, zeolite, and crushed concrete as capping material to block the release of heavy metals (As, Cu, Cr, Ni, and Pb) and reduce the sediment oxygen demand. The efficiency of limestone, zeolite, and crushed concrete was evaluated in a reactor in which a 1-cm thick layer of capping materials was placed on the sediments collected from Inchon north harbor. Dissolved oxygen concentration and heavy metal concentration in seawater above the uncapped sediments and capping material were monitored for 17 days. The sediment oxygen demand was in the following increasing order: crushed concrete ($288.37mg/m^2{\cdot}d$) < zeolite ($428.96mg/m^2{\cdot}d$) < limestone ($904.53mg/m^2{\cdot}d$) < uncapped ($981.34mg/m^2{\cdot}d$). The capping materials could reduce the sediment oxygen demand by blocking the release of biochemical matters consuming dissolved oxygen in seawater. It was also shown that zeolite and crushed concrete could effectively block the release of Cu, Ni, and Pb but those were not effective for the interruption of As and Cr release from marine contaminated sediments.

Adefovir dipivoxil which was originally developed by Gilead Sciences has been used as treatments of HIV and HBV, especially a therapeutics for HBeAg positive and negative chronic patients. We developed highly efficient purification method using reverse phase column chromatography for mass production and a stable amorphous Adefovir dipivoxil using solid dispersion method. Reverse phase column chromatography led to highly pure product, more than 99.7% by HPLC and can be used for mass production compared with normal column chromatography. Solid dispersion method containing watersoluble polymer and Isomalt showed improved stability of amorphous Adefovir dipivoxil against heat and moisture.

In this paper, it is attempted to investigate the phenomena of iodine stress corrosion cracking of Zircaloy-4 cladding failures in reactor through the results of similar out-of-pile test in iodine vapour. The main result of this experiment is a finding of the relation between the threshold stress which can lead to iodine stress corrosion cracking of Zircaloy-4 tube and the iodine concentration. The values of critical stress and the critical iodine concentration are also obtained. A model which relates failure time of Zircaley-4 tube to failure stress and iodine concentration is suggested as follows: log t$_{F}$ =5.5-(3/2)log$_{c}$-4log $\sigma$ where t$_{F}$ : failure time, minutes c: iodne concentration, mg/㎤ $\sigma$: stress, 10$^4$psi.

도시화로 인한 토지 피복 상태의 변화로 인한 불투수면적의 증가와 강우강도가 증가함에 따라 지하수로 침투하지 못하고, 바다로 유출되는 강우량이 점차 증가하고 있다. 또한, 인구의 증가와 산업발달에 따른 무분별한 지하수의 사용은 심각한 지하수위의 하강으로 이어지고 있다. 지하수위와 강우량간의 상관관계를 분석하여 지하수의 체계적인 관리 및 운용을 하고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 경상도 지역의 지하수위 관측소와 강우 관측소간의 거리가 10km 이내인 지점을 선정하여, 관측 자료와 분석결과를 토대로 13개 지점을 선정하였다. 침투현상이 침루과정을 거쳐 지하수에 유입되는 과정을 고려하면 강우가 발생한 시점보다 시간이 경과 한 후에 이 지점의 하루에 내린 강우량이 이틀에 걸쳐 지하수위에 영향을 준다고 가정하였고, 1일째의 강우를 실제 강우량의 최대 100%에서 50%까지로 설정하고 2일째에 나머지 강우가 내렸다고 가정하여 각각의 강우이동평균값과 지하수위간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 한계침투량을 고려하여 강우이동평균값과 지하수위간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 한계침투량 고려시 상관계수가 0.5 이상인 지점들 중 약 70%가 강우량을 강우사상이 발생한 당일과 명일로 나누었을 때, 상관계수가 높게 나타났다. 그러므로 기존 강우와 지하수위 관측자료만 이용하여 강우이동평균과 지하수위의 상관관계를 분석하는 것 보다 침투율을 고려한 강우이동평균과 지하수위의 상관관계 분석으로 인해 지하수의 체계적인 관리와 분석이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 도시화가 진행중인 경안천($561.1km^2$)유역과 안성천($909.1km^2$) 유역을 대상으로 토지이용 변화를 분석하고 그에 따른 유출특성을 파악하는데 있다. 경안천과 안성천 유역의 과거(1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000)의 토지이용 분석결과 도시지역 면적이 각각 6.9%와 8.3%씩 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 미래토지이용 예측을 위하여 CLUE-S (Conversion of Land Use Change and its Effects)모델을 이용하였다. 과거 토지이용 변화 특성을 분석하여 토지피복의 변화와 전이 특성값을 결정하였고, 이를 바탕으로 토지면적 시나리오, 변화 제한지역, 회귀식 결과와 토지이용 변화 특성 값을 CLUE-S 모델에 입력하여 미래의 토지이용변화를 모의하였다. 예측된 토지이용 정보를 가지고 2040s (2020-2059)와 2080s (2060-2099)의 기간으로 나누어 수문모의가 가능한 SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형에 적용 및 그에 따른 유출특성을 파악하였다. SWAT 모형의 적용성 평가를 위하여 안성천과 경안천 유역을 대상으로 1998~2005의 기간 동안 일별 유출, 자료에 대한 보정 및 검증을 실시하였다. 미래의 토지이용 변화에 따른 유역의 유출특성의 영향은 도시의 비율이 큰 유역에서 더 많이 나타날 것으로 기대된다.

In the Heunghae area, genetic relationships among sedimentary facies, lithology, stratigraphy and diagenetic mineral facies of the Yeonil Group, are discussed. Conglomerate and sandstone of lower to middle parts of the Yeonil Group contain considerable amounts of volcaniclastic sediments, which were derived from the Tertiary volcanics exposed in the western margins of the sedimentary basin. A new stratigraphic division of the Yeonil Group into the Chunbuk and Pohang Formations is proposed on the basis of sedimentary facies, lithologic characteristics including volcaniclastic feature, and the presence of a key bed of siliceous mudstone overlying the Chunbuk Formation. Diagenetic mineral facies largely depend on the lithology and composition of sediments. Heulandite, smectite, calcite, and opal-CT are commonly found as diagenetic minerals in the Yeonil Group. Among these authigenic minerals, heulandite occurs as the coarse- grained main cement in conglomerates and sandstones of the Chunbuk Formation. Formation of the zeolite cement is favored by partial volcaniclastic lithology of the Chunbuk Formation. Smectite composition and diagenetic mineral facies such as heulandite and opal-CT may reflect that the Yeoil Group has undergone a shallow rial temperature ranging $40{\~}60^{\circ}C$.
