  • The transport of radionuclides at oceanic scales can be assessed using a Lagrangian model. In this review an application of such a model to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans is described. The transport model, which is fed with water currents provided by global ocean circulation models, includes advection by three-dimensional currents, turbulent mixing, radioactive decay and adsorption/release of radionuclides between water and bed sediments. Adsorption/release processes are described by means of a dynamic model based upon kinetic transfer coefficients. A stochastic method is used to solve turbulent mixing, decay and water/sediment interactions. The main results of these oceanic radionuclide transport studies are summarized in this paper. Particularly, the potential leakage of 137Cs from dumped nuclear wastes in the north Atlantic region was studied. Furthermore, hypothetical accidents, similar in magnitude to the Fukushima accident, were simulated for nuclear power plants located around the Indian Ocean coastlines. Finally, the transport of radionuclides resulting from the release of stored water, which was used to cool reactors after the Fukushima accident, was analyzed in the Pacific Ocean.

  • 기후학적인 관측자료와 담수 효과를 고려한 수치실험에서 얻어진 두가지의 계절별 염분 분포를 열대 대서양 500 m 상층부에 대하여 조사하였다. 해표면 염분의 계절 변 화는 담수의 초과를 가져오는 열대수렴대(ITCZ)의 이동 및 강물 방출 시기에 밀접한 관계가 있었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 계절별 염분 분포는 Defant (1981)와 Levitus (1982) 등의 이미 존재하는 기후 자료와 대체로 비슷하나, 본 연구의 자료가 온도 분 포에 더 잘 일치하였다. 밀도에 대한 온도 효과와 비교할 때 염분 효과는 100 m 이심 에서는 무시할 만하나 혼합층에서 염분 효과는 상당히 중요하였다. 관측된 염분 분포 와 모델에서 계산된 염분 분포사이에 뚜렷한 차이가 염분값의 위도에 따른 기울기에서 나타났다. 모델에서 유도된 염분은 관측값보다 적도부근의 해양에서 대체로 높게 나타 났으나, 아열대 해역에서는 낮게 나타났다. 남동 대서양 해역과 같은 관측자료가 매우 적은 곳에서 염분 차이는 크게 나타났고, 이런 해역에서 정교한 모델값이 좀 더 정확 한 듯 보인다. 또한 관측값과 모델에서 얻어진 값과의 불일치에 대한 가능한 원인들도 분석하였다.

  • The aim of this study is to investigate influence of moon light to the fishing of squid jigging fishery in the southwest Atlantic Ocean based on analyses of date taken from 127 vessels in Falkland fishing ground by squid jigging fishery from 2010 to 2015. Catch and CPUE were analyzed between the new moon and full moon phases. Catches of the new moon phase were higher than those of the full moon phase by 7.6% and CPUE expressed in mt/day-vessels and mt/line-day were also higher by 18.2%, 18.2% respectively. However, as a result of statistical analysis at a significance level of p > 0.05, no significant statistical differences in catch, mt/day-vessels and mt/line-day were found between the new moon and the full moon as a result of statistical analysis at a significance level of p > 0.05.

  • Palmaria palmata was integrated with Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus on a commercial farm for one year starting in November, with a temperature range of 0.4 to $19.1^{\circ}C$. The seaweed was grown in nine plastic mesh cages (each $1.25m^3$ volume) suspended in a concrete sump tank ($46m^3$) in each of three recirculating systems. Two tanks received effluent water from tanks stocked with halibut, and the third received ambient seawater serving as a control. Thalli were tumbled by continuous aeration, and held under a constant photoperiod of 16 : 8 (L : D). Palmaria stocking density was $2.95kg\;m^{-3}$ initially, increasing to $9.85kg\;m^{-3}$ after a year. Specific growth rate was highest from April to June (8.0 to $9.0^{\circ}C$), 1.1% $d^{-1}$ in the halibut effluent and 0.8% $d^{-1}$ in the control, but declined to zero or less than zero above $14^{\circ}C$. Total tissue nitrogen of Palmaria in effluent water was 4.2 to 4.4% DW from January to October, whereas tissue N in the control system declined to 3.0-3.6% DW from April to October. Tissue carbon was independent of seawater source at 39.9% DW. Estimated tank space required by Palmaria for 50% removal of the nitrogen excreted by 100 t of halibut during winter is about 29,000 to $38,000m^2$, ten times the area required for halibut culture. Fifty percent removal of carbon from the same system requires 7,200 to $9,800m^2$ cultivation area. Integration of P. palmata with Atlantic halibut is feasible below $10^{\circ}C$, but is impractical during summer months due to disintegration of thalli associated with reproductive maturation.

  • We identified the main impacts, drivers, and restoration projects for Atlantic Forest in Northwest of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The objective was to analyze the quantity, distribution, and causes of the environmental crimes in 2000-2014. To verify differences between degraded and restored areas, we performed a t-test; ANOVA for the municipalities with more quantity of crimes, simple linear regression analysis for the relationship between sizes of degraded areas and quantity of seedlings planted, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for environmental damages categories and population of the municipalities. The main environmental damages found were deforestation outside permanent preservation area (20%) and those related to Permanent Preservation Area (37%). Environmental crimes in these areas fall into two categories: native and exotic vegetation removal (17%), and impediment to natural regeneration (20%). The average size of the degraded areas was $5,359{\pm}526m^2$, while for restored areas was $3,337{\pm}255m^2$. The sizes of the degraded fragments were similar among the five municipalities with the higher number of environmental crimes (ANOVA: p>0.05, F=1.24; df=241). The number of seedlings planted was positively related to the sizes of the degraded fragments (p<0.001, $R^2=0.53$). Segregation between the less and the most populous municipalities was found with the PCA analysis along PC1 (51.7%), while PC2 represented 19.2% of the total variation. The most populous municipalities showed the highest number of environmental crimes, and the majority of degraded areas were recovered by planting native seedlings. Atlantic Forest fragments need to be recognized and preserved as an ecosystem with a unique ecological function by the population and public administration.

  • 다중처리기 SoC(MPSoC) 플랫폼은 SoC 설계 분야에 새로운 여러가지 혁신적인 트랜드를 가지고 있다. 급격히 십억 단위의 트랜지스터 집적이 가능한 시대에 게이트 길이가 $60{\sim}90nm$ 범위를 갖는 서브 마스크로 기술에서 주요문제점들은 확장되지 않는 선 지연, 신호 무결성과 비동기화 통신에서의 오류로 인해 발생한다. 이러한 문제점들은 미래의 SoC을 위한 NOC 구조의 사용에 의해 해결될 수 있다. 대부분의 미래 SoC들은 칩 상에서 통신을 위해 네트워크 구조와 패킷 기반 통신 프로토콜을 사용할 것이다. 이 논문은 NOC 구조를 위한 칩 통신에서 교착상태가 발생되지 않는 것을 보장하기 위해 적극적 turn prohibition을 갖는 적응적 wormhole 라우팅에 대해 기술한다. 또한 5개의 전이중, flit-wide 통신 채널을 갖는 간단한 라우팅 구조를 제시한다. 메시지 지연에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 나타내고 같은 연결비율에서 운영되는 다른 기술들의 결과와 비교한다.

  • Due to frequent occurrence of abnormal weather, the need to improve the accuracy of subseasonal prediction has increased. Here we analyze the performance of weekly predictions out to 6 weeks by GloSea5 climate model. The performance in circulation field from January 1991 to December 2010 is first analyzed at each grid point using the 500-hPa geopotential height. The anomaly correlation coefficient and mean-square skill score, calculated each week against the ECWMF ERA-Interim reanalysis data, illustrate better prediction skills regionally in the tropics and over the ocean and seasonally during winter. Secondly, we evaluate the predictability of 7 major teleconnection patterns in the Northern Hemisphere: North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), East Atlantic (EA), East Atlantic/Western Russia (EAWR), Scandinavia (SCAND), Polar/Eurasia (PE), West Pacific (WP), Pacific-North American (PNA). Skillful predictability of the patterns turns out to be approximately 1~2 weeks. During summer, the EAWR and SCAND, which exhibit a wave pattern propagating over Eurasia, show a considerably lower skill than the other 5 patterns, while in winter, the WP and PNA, occurring in the Pacific region, maintain the skill up to 2 weeks. To account for the model's bias in reproducing the teleconnection patterns, we measure the similarity between the teleconnection patterns obtained in each lead time. In January, the model's teleconnection pattern remains similar until lead time 3, while a sharp decrease of similarity can be seen from lead time 2 in July.
