The environmental quality of the middle-reach of the Yahagi River has deteriorated in recent years. The nutrient dynamics within the reach were investigated to explain the changes. Seasonal pattern of $NO_3\;^--N$ concentration tended to stay low from April or May through July or August and then increased till winter or early spring, although there were peaks during high flow periods in mid-September, 2000 and late-August, 2001. No clear seasonal changes were observed in $PO_4\;^{3-}-P$ concentration. In the bimonthly records from 1980-2002, the DIN concentrations on January and March were higher than other months whereas the average daily flows on January and March were lower than they were in other months. The mean DIN concentration showed a high negative correlation with the median of average daily flow. In the past 50 years, the average concentration of DIN (excluding nitrite) was 0.21 mg $L^{-1}$ in 1952-1953. The concentration was about twice this high around 1980, and it is about three times this high at present. On the other hand, the average concentration of $PO_4\;^{3-}-P$ was below the limit of detection in 1952-53. However, it increased to almost 0.03 mg $L^{-1}$ around 1980, then decreased to approximately 0.016mg $L^{-1}$ at present. Our results suggest that the increasing DIN concentration is one of the causes of environmental change in the Yahagi River. We conclude that controlling the DIN concentration is essential for improving the river environment.

To examine temporal and spatial variation in salinity and nutrients in the shallow pore water of intertidal sandflats, we measured salinity and nutrient concentrations (dissolved inorganic nitrogen [DIN], phosphorus [DIP], and silicate [DSi]) in pore water of the intertidal zone along the coastline of Jeju Island at two and/or three month intervals from May 2009 to December 2010. Geochemical parameters (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], and acid volatile sulfur [AVS]) in sediment were also investigated. The surface sediments in intertidal sandflats of Jeju Island were mainly composed of sand, slightly gravelly sand and gravelly sand, with a range of mean grain size from 0.5 to 2.5 ${\O}$. Concentrations of IL and COD in sediment were higher along the eastern coast, as compared to the western coast, due to differences in biogenic sediment composition. Salinity and nutrient concentrations in pore water were markedly different across time and space during rainy seasons, whereas concentrations were temporally and spatially more stable during dry seasons. These results suggest that salinity and nutrient concentrations in pore water depend on the advective flow of fresh groundwater. We also observed an imbalance of the DIN/DIP ratio in pore water due to the influence of contaminated sources of DIN. In particular, nutrient concentrations during rainy and dry seasons were characterized by high DIN/DIP ratios (mean-127) and low DIN/DIP ratios (mean-10), respectively, relative to the Redfield ratio (16) in offshore seawater. Such an imbalance of DIN/DIP ratios in pore water can affect the coastal ecosystem and appears to cause outbreaks of benthic seaweed along the coastline of Jeju Island.

김 황백화에 대한 원인을 파악하기 위하여 전라북도 김양식장에 2011년부터 2014년까지 양식환경 특성과 황백화 피해 엽체의 형태 및 세포구조를 확인하였다. 연구 결과 금강 하구역에 위치한 개야도에서는 황백화가 확인되지 않았고 새만금방조제 주변의 도청리, 비안도, 무녀도와 선유도에서 황백화가 발생하였다. 김의 황백화 피해는 2011년 11월, 2014년 4월과 11월에 확인되었으며, 황백화 피해 엽체는 엽체 퇴색과 세포 내 액포 비대가 발생하였다. 연구기간 동안 황백화는 DIN과 DIP의 농도가 각각 5 μM와 0.4 μM 이하에서 발생하였다. 용존무기질소(DIN)와 용존무기인(DIP)의 비를 통해 결핍된 용존무기영양염을 확인한 결과 DIN 결핍은 양식 초기, 낮은 DIP 농도는 양식 말기 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정되었다.

Background and Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to validate the performance and diagnostic efficacy of the Korean digits-in-noise (K-DIN) test in comparison to the Korean speech perception-in-noise (K-SPIN) test, which is the representative speech-in-noise test in clinical practice. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-seven subjects (15 normal-hearing and 12 hearing-impaired listeners) participated. The recorded Korean 0-9 digits were used to form quasirandom digit triplets; 50 target digit triplets were presented at the most comfortable level of each subject while presenting speech-shaped background noise at various levels of signal-to-noise ratios (-12.5, -10, -5, or +5 dB). Subjects were then instructed to listen to both target and noise masker unilaterally and bilaterally through a headphone. K-SPIN test was also conducted using the same procedure as the K-DIN. After calculating their percent correct responses, K-DIN and K-SPIN results were compared using a Pearson-correlation test. Results: Results showed a statistically significant correlation between K-DIN and K-SPIN in all hearing conditions (left: r=0.814, p<0.001; right: r=0.788, p<0.001; bilateral: r=0.727, p<0.001). Moreover, the K-DIN test achieved better testing efficacy, shorter average listening time (5 min vs. 30 min), and easier performance of task according to participants' qualitative reports than the K-SPIN test. Conclusions: In this study, the Korean version of digit triplet test was validated in both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners. The findings suggest that the K-DIN test can be used as a simple and time-efficient hearing-in-noise test in audiology clinics in Korea.

물질수송 해석을 위한 박스모델 형태의 물질수지모델을 이용하여, 주변의 많은 환경적 변화 요인을 내재하고 있는 금강하구를 대상으로 계절별 영양염 물질순환 특성을 평가하였다. 담수 유입 및 유출은 계절에 따라 약 4～14배의 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 물수지에 의한 담수유 출량은 1.014×10/sup 8/～12.566×10/sup 8/m³/month로 나타났으며, 담수유출량의 99.7%가 하천수의 유출에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 염분수지에 의해 계산된 담수존재량은 0.339×10/sup 8/～0.652×10/sup 8/m³이었고, 평균체류시간은 1.6～10.0일, 해수교환시간은 2.2～11.9일로 계산되었다. 평균체류시간은 계절별로 큰 차이를 보였는데 강우집중시기인 하계 풍수기에는 1.6일의 짧은 체류시간을 보인 반면 동계 갈수기에는 10.0일의 평균체류시간을 나타내었다. 영양염 수지로 계산된 DIP의 유입flux의 범위는 5.57～32.68ton/month이었고, DIN 유입flux는 234.93～2,373.39ton/month로 계산되었다. 영양염의 체류시간을 보면, DIP의 경우 1.1～6.4일의 범위를, DIN의 경우 1.8～10.9일의 범위를 보였고, 담수체류시간과 비교하면, DIP는 0.39～2.31배, DIN은 0.83～l.13배를 나타내었다. DIP의 경우 하계를 제외한 전 계절에서 담수 체류시간보다 짧아 DIP가 빠르게 순환되었으나, DIN의 경우 하계와 동계에 담수체류시간보다 긴 순환비를 보여 영양염이 축적됨을 알 수 있다.

ERS-1/9 및 JERS-1 SAR 영상의 레이더 영상 간섭기법을 이용하여 대전지역의 수치고도모델 (DEM)을 제작하였다 도심지역에서는 GPS 측량으로부터 추출된 지상기준점(GCP)를 이용하여 생성된 DEM의 정밀도를 분석하였고, GCP가 없는 산악지 역에서는 1:25,000 수치지도로부터 추출된 DEM과의 상대적 고도차를 이용하여 정확도를 평가하였다 위성의 궤도오차 및 phase unwrapping에 의한 고도 오차를 최소화하기 위해 DEM생성에 이용되는 전통적인 InSAR기법 외에 DInSAR기법을 추가로 적용하였다. 또한 DInSAR기법 적용시 사용된 DEM의 해상도에 따른 결과의 정밀도를 분석하기 위해 GTOPO30, SRTM-3, 그리고 1:25,000 수치지도로부터 생성된 DEM을 사용하였다. 하나의 ERS tandem 간섭쌍과, 6개의 JERS-1 간섭쌍 분석 결과, 위상간섭기법 적용 시 평지 지역에서의 정밀도는 DEM 사용 여부 및 사용된 DEM의 해상도에 무관하게 약 5-6 m의 고도오차를 보인다 반면 산악지역에서는 SRTM-3 및 1:25,000 수치지도 DED을 이용한 DInSAR 기법이 phase unwrapping에 의한 오차를 줄이는데 매우 효과적이었다. 또한 6 개의 JERS-1 간섭쌍의 중첩을 통해 제작한 DEM의 경우 레이더 영상의 낮은 신호대잡음비 및 대기에 의한 오차를 줄일 수 있었다. 다수의 SAR 간섭쌍과 저해상도 DEM을 이용한 위상간섭기법은 저비용으로 빠른 시간 내에 DEM 해상도를 향상하는데 매우 효과적인 수단으로 사용될 수 있다.

Recently the steel parts used at automobils are required to be used under high stress more than ever before in need of the weight down. To achieve this requirement of a high strength steel, it must be necessary to decrease inclusion content and surface defect as like decarburization, surface roughness etc.. In this study, the surface conditions are measured to know the influence on fatigue properties by two cases of shot peening of two-stage shot peening and single-stage shot peening. And for this study, two kinds of spring steel (SAE 9254, DIN50CrV4) are used. This study shows the outstanding improvement of fatigue properties at the case of two-stage shot peening in the rotary bending fatigue test and this is assumed to be from (1) on low stress condition, th 1st stage shot peening is not affected by nonmetallic inclusion under metal.(2) it is possible that the 2nd stage shot peening increases the fatigue life and the high stress but that is affected by nonmetallic inclusion under metal. (3) so far beeasily DIN50CrV4 have made high stress. But, results also show fatigue failures originated at inclusion near surface, and this inclusion type is turned out to be a alumina of high hardness.
