This study analyzed the distribution of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 3 Level 2.0 data, spanning over two decades, across South Korea and its six administrative regions (Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gangwon, Gyeongsang, and Jeju). The research assessed long-term trends in aerosol optical depth (AOD) and mass concentration of particulate matter (i.e., PM₁₀ and PM_2.5), using data from the AERONET direct sun product and AirKorea, respectively. Additionally, eight aerosol types were identified using the scattering Ångström exponent and absorption Ångström exponent from the AERONET inversion product. The study further explored their domestic and regional distributions. Findings indicated that AERONET data were predominantly concentrated in the western regions of South Korea, including the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong, and Jeolla, with a higher frequency of data in spring, thus demonstrating spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The annual average AOD exhibited a declining trend of -0.006 yr^-1. Similarly, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 mass concentrations decreased by -1.324 ㎍ m^-3 yr^-1 and -1.335 ㎍ m^-3 yr^-1, respectively. These trends in AOD and PM₁₀ (PM_2.5) demonstrated positive correlations, with correlation coefficients of 0.674 (0.753) and statistically significant low p-values of 0.00058 (0.03), respectively. The analysis also revealed that aerosols in South Korea predominantly consisted of black carbon (BC) or BC-mixed types (84.09%), with a notable presence of smaller, less absorbent aerosol types (13.11%).

빈산소 수괴는 산소 부족뿐만 아니라, 용존산소의 결핍에 따른 혐기 상태에서 생성된 황화수소와 암모니아 등 유독가스가 어 패류를 직접 폐사시키거나, 저서생물 군집의 출현종과 개체 수에도 심각한 영향을 마친다. 본 연구에서는 빈산소 수괴가 발생한 해역의 저층 해수를 펌핑하여, 액체산소를 용해시켜 용존산소 농도를 20 mg/L 이상으로 상승시킨 해수를 다시 저층으로 주입하는 장치를 개발하여 그 효능을 검토하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 해수를 $3.6\;m^2$/min 용량으로 저층에 주입하면서 액체산소를 분당 4.8~26.3 L 범위로 공급할 때, 단시간에 해수 중 용존산소 농도는 7~25 mg/L로 상승하였다. 이때 공급한 액체산소는 해수 중에 90% 이상 용해되는 것으로 나타났다 본 장치는 산소를 용해시키기 위한 별도의 탱크가 필요 없고, 해수를 수면위로 퍼 올리는 높이가 낮아도 되므로 적은 동력을 이용하여 높은 효율로 고농도의 산소를 저층에 공급할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 장치는 연안 및 호소의 저층 빈산소 수괴 발생을 저감시킬 수 있어 빈산소 수괴 발생으로 인한 양식피해를 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

High redshift quasars (z > 5) hold keys to understanding the evolution of the universe in its early stage. Yet, the number of high redshift quasars uncovered from previous studies is relatively small (70 or so), and are concentrated mostly in a limited redshift range (z ~ 6). To understand the early mass growth of supermassive black holes and the final stage of the cosmic reionization, it is important to find a statistically meaningful sample of quasars with various physical properties. Here we present a survey for high redshift quasars at 5 < z < 7. Through color selection techniques using multi-wavelength data, we found quasar candidates and carried out imaging follow-up observations to reduce contaminants. After optical spectroscopy, we discovered eight new quasars. We obtained near-infrared spectra for 3 of these 8 quasars, measured their physical properties such as black hole masses and Eddington ratios, and found that the high redshift quasars we discovered are growing via accretion more vigorous than those of their lower redshift counterparts. We estimated the quasar number densities from our discoveries and compared them to those expected from the quasar luminosity functions in literature. In contrast to the observed number density of quasars at z ~ 5, which agrees with literature, the observed number density at z ~ 7 shows values lower than what is expected, even after considering an extrapolated number density evolution. We conclude that the quasar number density at z ~ 7 declines toward higher redshift, more steeply than the empirically expected evolution.

Lowly volatile heterocyclic sulfur compounds generated in autoclaved garlic extract were isolated and identified, and their antimicrobial activity was determined. Two kinds of unusual volatile sulfur compounds were separated from heated garlic by preparative recycling high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and identified by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) and $^1H$-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). They had heterocyclic structures with 4 to 5 sulfur atoms in the molecules. 4-Methyl-1,2,3-trithiolane (MTTT) is highly volatile and was not able to be concentrated, and was identified by GCMS only. MTTT and 6-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentathiepane (MPTP) are lowly volatile and were obtained in pure states to be positively identified for the first time. All 3 heterocyclic sulfur compounds began to appear by the time when the early-formed diallyl sulfides started to disappear. The minimum inhibitory concentration range of MTTT and MPTP was determined to be between 1 and 6 ppm against all yeasts tested. MTTT and MPTP were lowly volatile and sparingly soluble in water.

In this study, both sedimentation and thickening experiments were conducted for residuals produced from an advanced water treatment plant for more accurate and practical design of residual treatment train. In order to design a backwashed residual sedimentation basin (SRSB) in the filter backwash water recycle system, two kinds of backwash waters, one from sand filter (SFBW) and the other from GAC adsorption bed (GACBW), were separately collected and their surface loading rate measured. In addition, in order to design a gravity thickener, batch thickening tests were conducted for concentrated residuals taken from sedimentation basin and their limiting solid flux ($SF_{L}$) measured. From the experimental results and consideration of the seasonal characteristics of the residual, surface loading rate of $70m^{3}/m^{2}{\cdot}d$ was proposed as a design parameter for SRSB and solid loading rate of 20 kg $TS/m^{2}{\cdot}d$ was proposed as a design parameter for gravity thickeners. Finally, the material mass-balance was made for the design of each unit process in the residual treatment train.

Rabies virus (RABV)-specific antibodies in animals and humans are measured using standard methods such as fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN) tests and rapid fluorescent focus inhibition tests, which are based on cell culture systems. An alternative assay that is safe and easy to perform is required for rapid sero-surveillance following mass vaccination of animals. Two purified monoclonal antibodies (4G36 and B2H17) against RABV were selected as capture and detection antibodies, respectively. A genetically modified RABV, the ERAGS strain, was propagated and concentrated by polyethylene glycol precipitation. Optimal conditions for the RABV antigen, antibodies, and serum dilution for a blocking enzymelinked immune sorbent assay (B-ELISA) were established. We evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the B-ELISA using serum samples from 138 dogs, 71 raccoon dogs, and 25 cats. The B-ELISA showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 95.8-96.3%, specificity of 91.3-100%, and accuracy of 96.0-97.2% compared to the FAVN test. These results suggest that the B-ELISA is useful for sero-surveillance of RABV in dogs, raccoon dogs, and cats.

비선형동적해석을 통하여 RC 입체라멘교에 대한 지진거동특성 및 파괴메카니즘에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 파이버모델에 기초한 RC 프레임요소를 교각에 도입하여 3차원영역에서 모델링하여 비선형동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석의 정확성을 향상시키기 위하여 균열 진전후 콘크리트와 철근의 부작특성에 의한 재료역학적 특성차이를 고려하기 위하여 파이버는 철근영역(RC zone)과 무근영역(PC zone)으로 영역화하였다. 대상교량은 관성력 중심위치와 교량의 강성중심 위치가 일치하지 않아 비틀림을 동반한 복잡한 지진거동특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 거동특성에 의하여 유연한 교각 옆에 위치하는 상대적 강성이 큰 교각에 과다한 지진하중이 집중되어 파괴에 이르는 것으로 나타났다.

Cd-Pb thin films were electrodeposited from a diluted chloride solution using stainless steel rotating disc electrode. The linear sweep voltammograms of the single metallic ions show that electrodeposition of these ions was mass transfer control due to the plateau observed for different rotations at concentration (50 and 200 ppm). The voltammograms of binary system elucidate that electrodeposition process always start at cathodic potential located between the potential of individual metals. Currents transients measurements, anodic linear sweep voltammetry (ALSV) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the electrocryatalization process and morphology of thin films. ALSV profiles show a differentiation for the dissolution process of individual metals and binary system. Two peaks of dissolution Cd-Pb film were observed for the binary system with different metal ion concentration ratios. The model of Scharifker and Hills was used to analyze the current transients and it revealed that Cd-Pb electrocrystalization processes at low concentration is governed by three-dimensional progressive nucleation controlled by diffusion, while at higher concentration starts as a progressive nucleation then switch to instantaneous nucleation process. AFM images reveal that Cd-Pb film electrodeposited at low concentration is more roughness than Cd-Pb film electrodeposited at high concentrated solution.

In this paper, a new method is suggested to analyze impulsive stresses at loading poing of concentrated impact load under certain impact conditions determined by impact velocity, stiffness of plate and mass of impact body, etc. The impulsive stresses are analyzed by using the three dimensional dynamic theory of elasticity so as to analytically clarify the generation phenomenon of cone crack at the impact fracture of fragile materials (to be discussed if the second paper). The Lagrange's plate theory and Hertz's law of contact theory are used for the analysis of impact load, and the approximate equation of impact load is suggested to analyze the impulsive stresses at the impact point to decide the ranage of impact load factor. When impact load factors are over and under 0.263, approximate equations are suggested to be F(t)=Aexp(-Bt)sinCt and F(t)=Aexp(-bt) {1-exp(Ct)} respectively. Also, the inverse Laplace transformation is done by using the F.F.T.(fast fourier transform) algorithm. And in order to clarity the validity of stress analysis method, experiments on strain fluctuation at impact point are performed on a supported square glass plate. Finally, these analytical results are shown to be in close agreement with experimental results.
