토사재해는 토사로 인해 발생하는 재해로 정의되며, 일반적으로 우기(rainy season)에 주로 발생한다. 또한, 강우로 인해 발생하는 토양침식(soil erosion)과 강우 및 지진에 의해 나타나는 산사태로 인한 토석류(debris flow)가 토사재해의 주요 원인으로 꼽힌다. 이러한 재해로 인하여 하천 및 호소의 수질 저하, 토양유실에 따른 농경지 감소 등 여러 문제가 발생하고 있다. 특히, 댐으로 유입되는 토사는 사수역(dead storage)을 증가시키고, 발전용 댐의 경우 토사재해가 발전설비 마모 등을 일으킴에 따라 발전효율을 감소시키기도 한다. 더욱이, 기후변화로 인하여 강우량 및 강우강도가 증가하고, 최근 한반도에서는 지진의 강도와 빈도 또한 증가함에 따라 토사재해의 잠재적 위험성을 증대시키고 있다. 따라서 댐 유역에서의 토사 유입에 관한 정량적 예측을 포함한 종합적인 댐 토사 관리기술 및 대책이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 수질 악화로 인해 발전이 중단된 도암댐을 대상으로 댐으로의 토사 유입량을 분석하고자 토양침식과 토석류의 정량적 예측이 가능하고, 각각의 물리적 과정을 고려하는 물리기반 모형을 활용하였다. 토사재해의 주요 원인인 강우와 지진에 대해 미래에 발생 가능한 시나리오를 작성하고, 시나리오별 토사 유입량과 유입 비율을 정량적으로 산정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 유역 내 토사재해로 인한 피해 예방기술 및 댐 유지관리와 운영을 위한 기초 자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라 하천 내에 설치된 횡단구조물은 보 35,000개소 이상으로 전국 하천의 0.6 km마다 수공구조물이 위치해 있으며 이로 인해 종적(longitudinal) 연결성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 농어촌연구원의 조사에 따르면 하천 횡단구조물이 설치된 구간에 어도 설치율은 14.9%로 나타났으며 이는 수생태 관점에서 연속성이 매우 열악한 상태임을 확인 할 수 있다. 이에 우리나라 각 부처 국토교통부, 환경부 등에서는 수생태 연속성을 확보하고자하는 노력이 지속되고 있으며 대표적으로 어류의 이동통로인 어도를 설치하거나 기존 어도의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 개보수 작업을 지속적으로 실시하고 있다. 어도의 기능을 평가하기 위해서는 어도 내의 수리특성을 정확히 파악하는 것이 중요한데 연속적인 구조물로 구성된 어도 내 흐름은 매우 복잡하다. 특히 어도 내 구조물간 상호작용에 의하여 비정상 흐름이 발생하며 구조물 뒤에서는 사수역(dead zone)이 형성된다. 사수역에서 나타나는 와류의 거동은 구조물의 기하학적 특성에 따라 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 수심적분 수치모형을 활용하였으며 벽면 근처 점성저층의 유속분포을 재현하기 위하여와 점성항에 감쇠함수(damping function)를 고려하였다. 수치모형의 검증을 위해 실내 실험수로의 직선 개수로에서 PIV(particle image velocimetry)를 활용하여 연속적으로 배치된 구조물에 의한 유속자료를 활용하였다. 이 결과는 향후 새로운 어도설계 혹은 기 설치된 어도의 수리학적 기능을 평가하는데 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

The study assessed the utility of mitochondrial DNA for identifying a deceased rorqual discovered off the western coast of India. Both the COI and Cytb genes exhibited remarkable 99-100% similarity with the GenBank sequence of Balaenoptera musculus through a global BLAST search, confirming their affiliation with this species. Inter-species genetic distances for COI and Cytb genes ranged from 6.75% to 9.80% and 7.37% to 10.96% respectively, compared with other Balaenopteridae species. The Bayesian phylogenies constructed based on both COI and Cytb genes demonstrated clear and separate clustering for all Balaenopteridae species, further reaffirming their distinctiveness, while concurrently revealing a cohesive clustering pattern of the generated sequences within the B. musculus clade. Beyond species confirmation, this study provides valuable insights into the presence of live and deceased B. musculus individuals within Indian marine ecosystems. This information holds significant potential for guiding conservation efforts aimed at safeguarding Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) in India over the long term.

We evaluated the efficacy of $\beta$-hemolytic Streptococcus(S.) iniae vaccine on cultured olive flounder. Three hundred flounders(weight $50{\pm}5$ g) were obtained from two farm at Wando and Taean in the southern and western coast of Korea at May and June 2007, respectively. Twenty of flounders moved in 0.5 tons aquaria in land-marine tank system of National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service. Seawater was transported from the sea of Inchon in western Korea, and water temperature maintained to $22^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ during the vaccination and challenge test, respectively. We used the formalin-inactivated $\beta$-hemolytic S. iniae vaccine produced by domestic manufacturers. The vaccine was intraperitoneally administered to fish. The vaccinated and control group were challenged with intraperitoneal injection by virulent S. iniae SI-36 isolates with $5.0{\times}10^8$ CFU/fish at 3 weeks after vaccination. We evaluated the vaccine efficacy by calculating numbers of dead fish, and observing of clinical signs, exterior and gross lesions, and examining bacteria isolation and identification. Thirty-four(25.2%) of 135 control and vaccinated group fish were dead with serious anemia, abdominal extension, and hernia of intestine during 3 weeks post vaccination. We isolated Neoheterobothrium hirame from the buccal cavity and Edwardsiella tarda from kidney of dead and diseased fish. When infected fish with these agents were challenged with S. iniae SI-36 isolates, the cumulative mortality of control and vaccinated group were 86.7, and 46.7%, respectively. However, significant differences(p<0.05) were observed on cumulative mortality between control(20.0%) and vaccinated group(95.0%) at second trials with 40 healthy, and relative percent survival(RPS) was 78.0%. We confirmed that the efficacy of $\beta$-hemolytic S. iniae vaccine on olive flounder were impacted by health condition such as bacterial and parasitic diseases.

The present study investigated the anti-tumor activity of ethyl acetate extract of Acanthospermum hispidum DC against daltons ascites lymphoma in mice. The extract was prepared by cold maceration with ethyl acetate for 3 - 7 days and evaporated in vacuum to dry. (Yield : 14.2 g, 1.42% w/w). The extract was fractionated by column chromatography by using gradient elution technique and the diterpenes fraction isolated (0.649 g). Both extract and the fraction were administered as oral suspension with tween 20 in water to tumor bearing mice (DAL) and changes in dead cell count, histopathology of tumor cells, hematological parameters and median survival time (MST) were examined and compared with that of tumor control or 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). The results indicate that both ethyl acetate extract and fraction possess anti-tumor activity. The study suggests that Acanthospermum hispidum DC seems promising as a source of diterpenes for potential anti-tumor activity.

Numerical analyses have been performed to investigate the effects of geometric parameters of a straight groove micromixer on mixing performance and pressure drop. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with two working fluids, water and ethanol have been used to calculate mixing index and pressure drop. A parametric study has been carried out to find the effects of the number of grooves per cycle, arrangement of patterned walls, and additional grooves in triangular dead zones between half cycles of grooves. The three arrangements of patterned walls in a micromixer, i.e., single wall patterned, both walls patterned symmetrically, and both walls patterned asymmetrically, have been tested. The results indicate that as the number of grooves per cycle increases the mixing index increases and the pressure drop decreases. The microchannel with both walls patterned asymmetrically shows the best mixing performance among the three different arrangements of patterned walls. Additional grooves confirm the better mixing performance and lower pressure drop.

In Kimchi (a salt-pickled and fermented food) manufacturing industry, the process of brining and rinsing the raw vegetable produces a vast amount of wastewater of high salinity. Instead of expensive and low-efficient conventional treatment system, brining wastewater reuse system was developed using hybrid chemical precipitation/microfiltration. In the microfiltration of chemically treated brining wastewater, comparison of flux, backwashing frequency and energy consumption was made between dead-end and crossflow filtration mode. The optimum location of neutralization step in this system was also discussed in connection with the microfiltration performance. The quality test of Kimchi prepared by the reuse system confirmed the new approach was successful in terms of water/raw material(salt) saving and wastewater reduction.

The susceptibility of five different marine fish to iridovirus IVS-1 infection was analyzed and found a higher the cumulative mortality in the order of rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus), red sea bream (Pagrus major), sea perch (Lateolabrax sp.), rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) and black porgy (Acanthopagrus schlegeli). However, the concentrations of virus in the infected spleens of these species did not differ significantly. To determine the release of iridovirus from infected fish into culturing seawater, rock bream were challenged with iridovirus IVS-1 and the concentration of virus in the water was analyzed using PCR. Over the 10 days of the analysis, the linear relationship between the number of dead fish and viral DNA concentration found in culturing seawater should be considered direct evidence of horizontal iridovirus transmission.

Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici was first isolated from rice in 1981. Sheath rot of rice seedling in box culture for machine transplanting was produced by artificial inoculation of the causal organism. Especially sheath rot was developed from crown to leaf sheath above water level. Perithecia were usually formed in dead leaf sheaths and in PDA culture. They were black, globose, and immersed with obliquely erumpent neck. Asci were unitunicate with an apical ring and contained 8 spores. Ascospores were hyline, slender, $80{\sim}140\;um$ in length. Each spore showed $3{\sim}4\;septa.$ Based on morphological and cultura characteristics, the isolate from seeds was identified as Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) Arx & Olivier tritici J. Walker.
