Removal of organic substances and taste/odor control are ones of the main issues in water supply, resulting in introduction of advanced processes such as ozon/GAC, or PAC. However, raw water quality deteriorates, new pollutants advent, so water quality is not acceptable enough even with those existing advanced processes. In this paper, a new advanced water treatment process using PAC slurry blanket, where PAC particles stay in the basin as slurry blanket, coupled with submerged membranes is introduced. A pilot plant $(80m^3/day)$ was installed to assess the performance of this new process using actual raw water, and DOC was removed higher than 90% in the beginning and $70{\sim}80%$ afterwards, while 2-MIB and geosmin were removed completely. This new process still requires future study on process optimization and long-term assessment, however it seems highly possible to countermeasure as a new advanced process with high removal efficiency.

To study the cause of the injury by continuous cropping and the countermeasure for reduction on it's injury in ginseng cultivation by the period passed since post-harvest, and previous soil management far planting, the injury by continuous cropping was investigated from 2004 to 2005 at the continuous cropping field of National Institute of crop Science in Jungpyong county, Korea. There was negative correlation between the ratio of survived root and the Period Passed since post-harvest. The ratio infected by Cylindrocapon destructans and Fusarium spp. in root was about 81${\sim}$95% at continuous cropping field that passed by 3${\sim}$4 years since post-harvest. Though the previous soil management for planting was somewhat effective to increase the ratio of survival root, but which was not effective to protect the infection of Cylindrocapon destructans and Fusarium spp. in root. There was no significant difference in reducing rotted root between management and nonmanagement. When previous soil management for planting was programed, it should be considered that Cylindrocapon destructans was detected at continuous cropping field that passed by above 10 years after harvesting.

Rapid socio-cultural and economic changes in the country has brought with it changes in the society's value system. For a traditional society that is increasingly being exposed to modernization but where sex norms are still very restrictive, the adolescent sexual mores takes on added significance. Adolescents are caught between two opposing forces, the changing environment that allows for freer and liberal mores and the traditional society that cannot keep pace with the changing environment and therefore demands resistance to changes. This paper focuses on problems of adolescent sexuality in this country and considers the countermeasures for the existing problems. Amongst the problems are: (a) increasingly younger age of the adolescents who start sexual intercourse (b) non-use of contraception, (c) unwanted pregnancies, (d) increase in the number of induced abortion and (e) increase in the number of unwanted children and unmarried mothers. The Korean adolescent's sexual behavior seems to follow that of the developed countries. In other words, many western modes of life and sexual values seem to bave been copied in Korea and yet Korean adolescents lack in their knowledge of sex related matters such as reproductive physiology and contraception. Among middle and high school students, female students are reported to have less knowledge on sex than male students according to a 1988 survey by KIPH. Even among the unmarried famale factory workers, only 42.5 percent replied they know of the condom, and 25.1 percent and 23.1 percent said they had knowledge of spermicide and menstrual regulation respectively. However, 14.9 percent and 13.9 percent reported that they had a knowledge of the loop and female sterilization respectively according to the 1984 study by KIPH. Among the middle school students 0.8 percent said they had experience in sexual intercourse, while 7.3 percent of the high school students reported having had sexual intercourse. The sexual intercourse experience rate among the unmarried female factory workers is 37.8 percent. Among those female factory workers with sexual experience, 46.7 percent had more than one sex partners. Only 39.1 percent of male students and 18.9 percent of female students among those with sexual intercourse experience have used contraceptives. mostly condoms and oral pills 45.1 percent of female factory workers with sexual intercourse experience used contraceptives such as pills, condoms and rhythm methods. The pregnancy experience rate among the female factory workers who had experience in sexual intercourse is 29.5 percent, which is 11.1 percent among the total respondents. Out of the 102 pregnant female workers, 98 workers(96.1 percent) terminated their pregnancy by induced abortion and 2 workders(2 percent) in natural abortion, while 1 worker(1 percent) was in pregnancy and another 1 worker had normal birth that was subsequently sent to orphanage. In order to cope with the problem of adolescent sexuality, a drastic and strong policy measures should be taken by the government. The most effective countermeasure to the adolescent sexual problems appears to the education. The sex and population education in the school is very much in need. In addition, sex education program through mass media and at the job sit-should be promoted for a healthy development of adolescents' sexual behavior. Also, the existing national family planning program, which has focused on the married couples, should be extended to the unmarried people in its scope and contents of the program.

본 논문은 현행 전력기술 관리법에 의하여 시행되고 있는 전력시설물공사 감리제도의 제도개선에 관한 연구로서 연구자의 현장 실무경험과 감리제도의 일반사항, 감리업자와 감리원에 대한 사항, 감리업자 선정 및 입찰에 관한 사항을 조사하여 전력시설물공사 감리제도의 현황과 실태분석 및 개선방안을 제시한 내용으로 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 법적 및 제도적 측면에서 시급히 개선될 사항이다. 정부는 1995년 12월 법률 제5,132호로 전력기술관리법을 제정하여 전력시설물에 대한 공사감리 업무를 별도 분리 발주하여 전문성을 높이도록 전기 분야 전문기술자에 의해 수행토록 하는 것을 골자로 하는 책임 감리제도를 도입하여 오늘에 이르고 있다. 그러나 공사 준골단계에서 전기사업법 제98조 2항에 의해 위탁업무를 하고 있는 전기 안전공사가 사용전 검사를 함으로서 책임 감리제도의 도입 취지를 무색케 한 정도로 심각한 국면에 접어들었다. 전력기술관리법이 제정되어 13년이 지난 오늘까지도 책임 감리제도가 성공적으로 정착되지 못한 근본적인 문제는 사용전 검사를 전기 안전공사에서 대행하고 있다는 것이다. 물론 그동안의 많은 노력으로 어느 정도의 개선은 있었지만 근본적인 문제가 해결되지 않고서는 전력시설물공사의 감리기술의 전문화를 기대하기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 책임 감리계도의 성공적인 정착을 위해서는 전기사업법 제98조 2항에 의한 위탁 업무인 사용전 감사 제도를 감리업자에게 돌려줌으로서 책임과 권한을 실질적으로 부여하고 감리회사 자체의 기술력 및 기술자 확보와 기술개발에 필요한 운영자금 및 투자 확대를 유도해 나가야 하며, 무엇보다도 확실한 법적 제도적 뒤받침이 선행되어야 한다. 둘째, 제도적 측면에서 일반건축물은 사업주가 전력시설물공사 감리업자를 임의선정 및 수의계약에 의해 감리업자를 지정하고 해당 공사기간동안 전기 감리원을 투입토록 되어 있어 인건비에 미치지 못하는 저가수주와 다음계약을 위해 어쩔 수 없이 사업주에게 종속되는 경우가 많으며, 이로 인해 감리수행에 혼란이 야기되고 책임소재의 불분명 책임 감리원의 조정 및 통제기능이 약화되는 부작용이 나타나고 있다. 전력시설물공사의 감리는 전력시설물의 안전사고, 비효율 및 부실소지 둥을 방지하기 위해서 필수적이고 발주자 감리업자 시공업체에게 모두 도움을 주는 업무이며, 일정규모이상의 건축물은 자발적인 참여로 유도할 수 있도록 적격심사제도(PQ심사)도입이 적극 필요한 실정이다. 셋째, 운용측면에서 공동주택의 주택법에 의한 전력시설물공사 감리는 사업승인권자가 사업수행능력 평가기준(PQ 심사)에 따라 감리업자를 지정하고 해당 공사기간 동안에 전기 감리원을 투입토록 되어 있으나 평가기준이 세대수에 따라 정해져 있어 효율적, 기술적 측면에 미치지 못하는 경우가 많다. 수준 높은 감리를 수행하려면 그에 맞는 적정한 감리원의 투입이 필수적이다. 넷째, 운용 및 제도적 측면에서 공공발주 건축물(공동주택 포함)의 전력시설물공사는 사업수행능력 평가기준(PQ 심사)에 따라 감리업자를 지정하고 해당 공사기간 동안에 전기 감리원을 투입토록 되어 있으나 발주자 소속직원의 감리수행 근거에 의해 자체 감리를 함으로서 시장경쟁 및 민간경제 활성화의 제약, 부정부패 및 비효율 등 사회에 전반적으로 악영향을 끼쳐 하루 빨리 민간 감리업자에게로의 개선이 시급한 실정이다.

In case waste disposal site is to be constructed close to the underground facilities such as LPG storage cavern which is completely maintained by groundwater pressure, it is generally requested that the possibility on leachate contamination of cavern area be reviewed and the countermeasure, if it is estimated cavern area is severely affected by leachate, be taken into consideration. Prediction was performed and leachate control plan was made using by analytical and the numerical analysis on the leachate migration which is likely to happen at the area between the proposed waste disposal site and the underground LPG storage cavern located at the U petrochemical complex. Analytical solutions were obtained by the conservative mass advection-diffusion equation and the effect of advection and dispersion factor on the leachate migration was reviewed through peclet number calculation and the functional relationship between the factors and leachate transport velocity was established, which leads to enable us to predict the leachate transport velocity without difficulties when different parameters (factors) are used for analytical solution. Numerical solutions were obtained by FEM using AQUA2D which is for the simulation of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. 3-D discrete fracture models were simulated and fracture flow analysis was performed and feasibility study on the water-curtain system was conducted through the fracture connectivity analysis in rock mass. As results of those analyses, it was interpreted that the leachate would trespass on the LPG storage cavern area in 30 years from the proposed wate disposal site and the vertical water-curtain system was effective mathod for the prevention of leachate's migration further into the cavern area.

The Group Digital Surveillance System for Fishery Safety and Security (GDSS-F2S) is to provide the target tracking information and the target identification information in order to secure an huge aquaculture farm-field from a thief. The two information, however, is not enough to indict the thief due to the lack of lawful evidences for the crime actions. To overcome this problem, we consider the target image information as one of solutions after discussion with the effective countermeasure tools for the crime actions with scenario-based analysis according to the geological feature of aquaculture farm-field. To capture the real-time image for the trespassing targets in the aquaculture farm-field area, we developed the image capture system which is consists of ultra sensitive CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera with 0.0001 Lux and supplementary devices. As results from the field tests for GDSS-F2S with image capture system, the high definite images of the vehicle number plate and shape, person's actions and features are obtainable not only day time but also very dark night without moon light. Thus it is cleary known that the improved GDSS-F2S with image capture system can provide much enough lawful evidences for the crime actions of targets.

The international convention on standards of training, certification and watch-keeping for seafarers, 1978(1978 STCW convention) has been established as a minimum standard and competence of seafarers, and contributed to reduce marine accidents caused by human errors. The convention has been partly amended several times according to environmental change of ship's operation and there were comprehensive revisions in so called 1995 amended STCW convention. In these years, ships are in tendency of increasing size and speed, and also adopted high technologies. These kinds of changes brought STW sub-committee up for discussions to modify the convention to cope with new environments from the year of 2006. As the result, major amendaments to STCW convention have been adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila, Philippine in June 2010, thereby new global standards will be in force to train and certify seafarers to operate technologically advanced ships before long. This paper is to introduce major amendaments such as ship's security, ECDIS and leadership etc. in this Manila amendments and to clarify some articles to be adopted in programs for education and training of seafarers in Korea.

The study with laboratory sandbox model has been carried out to address potential use of reclaimed water, as a countermeasure artificially recharging the coastal aquifer, to effectively prevent from seawater intrusion due to overexploitation. It also investigated plausibility for either preserving or recovering the freshwater interface facing with seawater intrusion. To do this, we assessed hydraulic properties in artificial aquifer seawater/freshwater interface) depending upon the variation of extraction, storage and injection of reclaimed water. The variation of interface between freshwater and seawater were visualized by Surfer 8(Golden Software, USA) according to given experimental conditions. The interface between seawater and freshwater has been sensitively influenced by the change of extraction rate, where seawater zone migrated much faster into freshwater zone even though extraction rate became decreased. However, decreasing recharge rate could slow down moving of saline water zone toward freshwater zone. When the recharge was solely introduced into the sand box model, saline water intrusion was retarded than those of recharge and extraction working together. And also, the level of salinity of saline water was diluted by artificial recharge. It finally revealed that the artificial recharge would hydraulically avoid seawater intrusion while the freshwater sources could be conservatively utilized.

A rain water pumping station is a structural countermeasure to inland flooding of domestic water generated in a urban watershed. In this study, the optimal operation water level of the pump with the minimum overflow was determined based on the opinions of the person in charge of the operation of the rain water pump station. A GA (Genetic Algorithm), which is an optimization technique, was used to estimate the optimal operation water level of the rain water pump station and was linked with SWMM (Ver.5.1) DLL, which is a rainfall-runoff model of an urban watershed. Considering the time required to maximize the efficiency of the pump, the optimal operating water level was estimated. As a result, the overall water level decreased at a lower operating water level than the existing water level. For most pumps, the lowest operating water level was selected for the operating range of each pump unit. The operation of the initial pump could reduce the amount of overflow, and there was no change in the overflow reduction, even after changing the operation condition of the pump. Internal water flooding reduction was calculated to be 1%~2%, and the overflow occurring in the downstream area was reduced. The operating point of the pump was judged to be an effective operation from a mechanical and practical point of view. A consideration of the operating conditions of the pump in future, will be helpful for improving the efficiency of the pump and to reducing inland flooding.

Juam lake is a major water resource for the industrial and agricultural activities as well as the resident life of Kwangju and Chonnam area. However, the water quality of the lake is getting worse due to a large quantity of pollutant inflowing to the lake. As a preliminary step in making the countermeasure to achieve the water quality goal of the lake. it is necessary to understand how the water quality of the lake will be in future. Several computer programs can be used to predict the water quality of lake. Each of these programs requires a number of input data such as hydrological and meteorological data. and the quantity of the pollutant inflowed. but some or most of the input data contain uncertainty. which eventually results in the uncertainty of prediction value (future level of water quality). Generally. the uncetainty stems from the lack of information available. the randomness of future situation. and the incomplete knowledge of expert. Thus. the purpose of this study is to present a method for representing the degree of the uncertainty contained in input data by applying fuzzy theory and incorporating it directly into the water quality modeling process. By using the method. the prediction on the future water quality level of Juam lake can be made that is more appropriate and realistic than the one made without taking uncertainty in account.
