The west stone pagoda of Gameunsa temple site(National Treasure No. 112) has been seriously damaged by surface weathering, and conservation treatment is needed. In the second story body stone, vertical cracks developed parallel to the main compressional axis. The vertical cracks seem to grow much more with the compression. Chemical and biological weathering along the vertical cracks could have enhanced the crack growth. In the third story capstone, the surface cracks strike toward NE and NW directions, which are intersecting each other. In the eastern and southern parts of the third story capstone, lots of vertical cracks develop along the lines from the axial center to outer rim, whereas horizontal cracks are easily observed at the outer rim of the capstone. On the other hand, a few horizontal cracks develop in the western and northern parts of the third story capstone. This fact indicates that the compression along the vertical axis is not uniform in direction. The west stone pagoda leans toward the east and the south, so it is considered that compression by deviatoric stress prevailed at these directions.

Since its foundation in the unified Silla period, Sunam Temple in Jeollanam-do has well preserved its reputation as a representative temple in Honam. However, during the course of history as the temple went through many changes and development, much of its landscape identity were lost or damaged. At present, we found that some of distinctive features as traditional Korean temple are lost or damaged in Sunam temple and in some cases, Japanese style features were applied which calls for urgent restoration to the original landscape style. We found that vegetation pattern of Sunam temple was quite different from those of traditional Korean temples and garden components were rather similar to Japanese garden style. There are two reasons why these changes occurred to Sunam-temple. The first reason is changes made to the temple by Japanese people during the Japanese occupation period in Korea. The second is the renovation effort of the entire temple in 1976. The study aimed to examine landcape changes of Sunam temple in detail and understand Japanese style landscape components and methods applied to the Sunam temple to untimately understand landscape identity of Sunam temple. On-site research, literature research and interviews with monks were conducted and we found that Sunam-sa Temple was significantly influenced by the landscape style of Japan, and that more Japanese-style landscapes were produced while trying to hide these elements. However, this study was limited in understanding the very original landscape form of Sunam temple before the Japanese coloniral era.

The Kyunggi Bay in mid-west of Korea is a relatively large estuarine system that connects the Han River system with Yellow Sea. Due to macro-tidal range of more than 8 m, the urban estuary shows deep tidal channels and wide tidal flats. Since last 30 years, the coastal development is undergoing, yielding noticeable change in environment. Particularly the tidal flat dynamics are generally accepted as being related with tidal residual flows in this area (Kim et al., 2009). We have estimated the annual variation and vertical structure of residual currents with one-year long observed flows in two major tidal channels of Kyunggi Bay. The moving average method and tidal current harmonic analysis yield nearly the same results on residual flow. The residual flow in Jangbong channel ranges from 20 cm/s in summer to 30 cm/s in winter. It is noticeable that the residual flow in Jangbong channel is flood dominant throughout the year, while the flow in Seokmo channel is ebb-dominant residual flow with current speed range of 20-40 cm/s. Due to the baroclinic response of relatively shallow estuary, significant reduction of energy in bottom layers have been observed, indicating the importance of residual circulation to the tidal flat behavior.

Scirpus planiculmis dominated in Nakdong river estuary is known as food for birds visiting to Nakdong river estuary and plays an important role in material cycle and food web, while repeating growth and production, decomposition process in 1-year interval. Therefore, if it is able to predict effectively biomass or tuber production of Scirpus planiculmis which is food source for estuarine organisms or birds, it can provide very useful information on the Nakdong river estuary management. In this study, regression equation that can predict the tuber production, food for birds, was obtained using initial density of Scirpus planiculmis that can minimize the disturbance of ecosystem and is faster and easier. The correlation analysis results show that density, biomass and tuber production have liner relationship(p<0.001) with 0.6103~0.9950 of correlation coefficients. In addition, the regression equations have high coefficients of determination of 0.3696~0.7145 and it shows that it is able to predict biomass or tuber production while using the estimated regression equation obtained from relationship among the initial density, biomass and tuber production. The results of this study are expected to utilize effectively the management of estuary ecosystem such as management on food source for migratory birds visiting to Nakdong river estuary.

In order to observe the bioactivity of ovariectomized rats, nonovariertoized (sham) group, ovariectomized (Ovx) group, ovariectomized ginseng total saponin (GTS)-treated (Ovx+ GTS) group and ovariectomized ginseng water extract (GW)-treated (Ovx+CW) group were made. We measured AST (L-aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (L-alanin aminotransferase) in sera, and MDA (malondialdehyde:lipid peroxidation), SOD (superoxide dismutase), catalase, total-glutathione (GSH + GSSG) and GPx (glutathione peroxidase) in liver tissue total homogenates of rat. AST activity of serum in Ovx group was 2.11 times increased, but ALT activity was not changed compared to Sham group. In AST activity, they tend to decrease significantly in each substance such as GTS and GW administered group. Lipidperoxides of each fraction in Ovx group were highly increased compared to Sham group. Extracts of ginseng-treated group markedly inhibited lipid peroxidation by 62% ∼72%. And as the result of the measurements of SOD, catalase, total-glutathione and GPx which are antioxidant enzyme, antioxidant enzymes in Ovx group much lower than in Sham group. But they were significantly increased in each substance such as GTS and GW, administered group. Based on the results, it is supposed that more produced free radicals decreased antioxidant enzyme. And it is also thought that extracts of ginseng can inhibit aging by reducing antioxidant enzyme.

100년의 역사를 지닌 한국지질자원연구원(KIGAM)은 국내 유일의 지질자원 전문연구기관으로서 그간 생산한 조사 연구데이터는 우리나라 과학기술의 귀중한 역사적 학술적 가치가 큰 유산으로써 보존 가치가 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 현재 KIGAM의 상황은 최종성과물 위주로 자료관리가 이루어지고 있으며, 조사 연구 과정에서 생산된 암석 토양 지하수샘플이나 조사 탐사장비를 통해 얻어지는 자료는 연구자 또는 연구실 팀에서 개별적으로 관리하고 있다. 이러한 자료관리체계는 자료의 공동 활용이 어렵고, 자료를 보유하고 있는 연구자의 퇴직이나, 조직개편으로 인한 팀 실의 분리 과정에서 자료의 손실과 훼손 가능성이 높고, 누가 어디에 어떤 자료를 무슨 형태로 보관하고 있는지 찾기 어려워 자료의 재활용도가 떨어질 뿐만 아니라, 이로 인한 중복 조사 연구 가능성도 배제할 수 없다. KIGAM은 지질자원분야 국가데이터센터 구축을 목표로 연구과정에서 생산되는 연구데이터의 체계적인 관리와 공유, 활용체계 구축을 위해 2015년도에 기획사업을 통해 중장기 로드맵을 포함한 추진전략을 수립하였으며, 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)의 DataNest를 기술이전받아 지질자원 연구데이터 리포지토리 시스템(GDR: Geoscience Data Repository)를 개발하였다. GDR 시스템 개발을 위해 연구데이터 분류코드를 작성하였으며, 2016년부터 데이터관리계획(DMP: Data Management Plan)을 주요사업 연구계획서 양식에 포함시켜 제출하도록 하였다. 과거 KIGAM은 연구데이터를 수집, 관리하기 위해 몇 차례에 걸쳐 시도를 했지만 실패한 경험을 가지고 있다. 실패 요인에는 (1) 관련 정책, 제도, 조직, 인력, 예산 등 데이터 관리 인프라 부재, (2) 연구사업에서 생산된 데이터는 개인소유라는 인식 및 공유 의식 부족, (3) 데이터 관리 활동은 귀찮은 것이고, 시간 낭비라는 인식, (4) 데이터 관리 공개 공유 활동에 대한 보상체계 부재 등을 꼽을 수 있다. 즉, 제도를 포함한 인프라 부족과 경영진과 구성원의 인식부족이 제일 큰 원인으로 판단된다. 성공적인 연구데이터 관리를 위해서는 지속적이고 꾸준한 투자가 이루어져야 하지만 경영진의 의지에 따라 사업이 중단되기도 한다. 이러한 과거의 실패 요인에 대한 해결 없이 지난 1년 6개월 정도의 GDR 운영은 지지부진하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 국가차원의 제도적 뒷받침이 따라야 한다. 즉 국가 R&D 성과물 관리차원에서 연구데이터를 주요 성과물로 관리해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 연구사업계획서에 DMP를 포함시키고, 연구주제 및 분야별로 데이터센터(혹은 데이터 리포지토리)를 지정하고, 국가 R&D에서 생산되는 연구데이터를 의무적으로 제출하도록 하는 것이다. 또한 데이터센터의 안정적이고 지속적인 운영을 위해 연구사업비 항목에 데이터 관리비를 신설하여 데이터센터의 운영비로 사용하도록 하면 예산문제도 어느 정도 해결 될 수 있을 것으로 본다. 또한 데이터 제출 및 인용도에 따라 데이터 생산부서 혹은 생산자에게 평가점수를 부여하는 등 보상체계 마련을 위한 연구도 필요할 것으로 보인다. 국가 R&D 연구데이터의 수집, 관리, 공유, 활용을 제대로 성공시키려면 국가 R&D 최고정책결정자의 지속적인 관심과 지원이 필수적이다.

EIA consultation is a final decision-making process that enables a variety of stakeholders to participate in and to share important information about the expected environmental impacts caused by development projects. However, this process is often undermined through re-consultation processes by significant changes in the proposed plans. EIA re-consultation is a necessary process when an approved plan needs to be changed for a variety of importantreasons including the changes of land use, delay of construction, and surrounding environments. EIA re-consultation is also important to resolve conflicts among stakeholders and to respond flexibly to unexpected changes in surrounding environment. This study aims to analyze the operation status and the problems of current institutional systems of EIA re-consultation, and to draw implications by reviewing institutional systems of other countries such as U.S. EU, Scotland, and Japan. On the basis of the previous analysis, we propose recommendations to improve the existing EIA re-consultation process. We expect this study helps understand operation status and problems of EIA re-consultation, and provides meaningful implications to improve the existing institutional systems and practice of re-consultation.

The Daejanggakgibi Stele of Silleuksa Temple in Yeoju is a stone stele from the Goryeo Dynasty that is inscribed with various stories about the construction of Daejanggak, a place where Buddhist scriptures were kept. This stele has been maintained for a long time in a state in which discoloration of the body has occurred, and the inscription has been partially damaged due to dozens of cracks. Using non-destructive analysis methods for stone artifacts, material investigation, portable X-ray fluorescence analysis, and ultrasonic velocity analysis for the stele were performed. It was confirmed that the stele body was composed of light gray crystalline limestone, and the base stone, support stone, and cover stone were medium-grained biotite granite. Portable X-ray fluorescence analysis confirmed that iron(Fe) was an original coloring element of the stele surface. From the distribution pattern of the coloration, it can be inferred that iron-containing materials flew down from between the stele body and the cover stone. Thereafter, living organisms or organic contaminants attached to it so that yellow and black contaminants were formed. Ultrasonic diagnosis revealed that the physical property of both the front and back surfaces ranged from fresh rocks(FR) to completely weathered rocks(CW), and the average weathering index was grade 3(intermediate). However, the point where cracks developed intensively was judged to be the completely weathered stage(CW), and some cracks located in the upper and lower parts of the stele bear potentially very high risk. It is necessary to monitor the movement of these cracks and establish reinforcement measures for conservation in the future.

The spread of invasive alien plants is one of the most important causes of habitat and biodiversity loss. This research was conducted to secure basic data for the control of the invasive alien plant Solidago altissima. The following research objects were examined: the control; one-time mowing in June (1M6); two-time mowing in June and July (2M6M7); one-time mowing in Jun plus one-time Uprooting in July (2M6U7). The length growth in October, when the growth of S. altissima was completed, was in the order of control (199±19.96 cm), 1M6 (152±13.41 cm), 2M6U7 (54±3.17 cm), and 2M6M7 (45±19.96 cm). The 2M6M7 and 2M6U7 treatment was the most effective at inhibiting S. altissima of density, of 50.8% and 26.2% compared to the control, respectively. In contrast, one-time mowing (1M6) resulted in an increase in density compared to the control by 119.7%. In addition, this treatment also reduced flowering rate (%) of S. altissima. The most effective treatment among those tested was 2M6U7.
