In this study, we attempted to seek out the ways to recycle fresh root-chips in the slope revegetation works by breaking tree root wastes occurring during the construction works, also to review the applicability of fresh root-chips as the soil media in slope revegetation works. For this purpose, we organized test units in order to investigate on-site applicability of fresh root-chips (broken chips). In order to examine the desirable ration of combining fresh root-chips with the hydroseeding soil media on the cutting slopes, we organized test units depending on the amount of combination. The following is the main experimental results. 1. At first, we analyzed properties of hrdro-seeding soil media and soil of the experimental sites. The overall results demonstrate that all the test units show proper range for vegetation. 2. We believe that the physical properties of soils in the earlier phase of restoration works on the sloped sites are not greatly affected by the fact whether broken chips exist or not. However, as time elapses, broken chips needs to be investigated further on what kind of impact they have on the soil condition. 3. More species are found in the test unit combining broken chips and we believe that it will contribute to blossoming of green plants and ecological succession of neighboring plants. 4. We performed experiment on possibility for fresh root-chips as substitutes for the hydro-seeding soil-media. In the test unit that combines fresh root-chips, its mixture ratio tends to exceed that of the test unit that does not combine fresh root-chips by 5 %. In case of the Thick-Layer-Soil-Media Hydroseeding works, the mixture ratio of the test unit that combines fresh root-chips after 16 weeks exceeds that of the test unit that does not combine fresh root-chips by 75%. 5. From the result of our experiment, it is obvious that the ratio of mixture and the number of emerging species are higher for the test unit combining fresh root-chips than the test unit that does not combine them. In other words, we can replace the hydro-seeding-soil-media with some Fresh root-chips without affecting the physical property of soil.

하천의 세굴은 교각 주변의 흙을 침식시켜 교각의 횡방향 지지력을 저감시키고 구조물의 건전도를 저하시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 세굴이 구조물의 건전도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 주변지반의 굴착에 따른 교각의 고유진동수 측정실험을 수행하였다. 폐교예정인 만경강교의 우물통기초 교각에서 충격진동시험을 수행하였다. 교각의 상단, 중앙, 하단에 가속도계를 부착하고 세 지점을 타격하여 가속도를 계측하였다. 실험 결과, 타격위치에 따른 가속도 측정값 중 상단타격이 일관되고 합리적인 가속도 결과를 보여주었다. 계측된 가속도는 고속 푸리에 변환(FFT)을 통하여 주파수 영역으로 변환되었고, 이를 이용하여 고유진동수를 측정하였다. 또한, 세굴이 교각의 고유진동수 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 교각 주변 지반을 굴착하면서 고유진동수의 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 굴착 깊이에 따라 고유 진동수가 감소하는 경향을 보여주었지만, 우물통 기초형식이 큰 강성을 가지고 있어 그 감소폭은 작은 것으로 나타났다.

호우는 우리나라에 매년 약 60여명의 인명과 6,000억원에 달하는 재산 손실을 가져오는 가장 파괴적인 자연 재해이다. 그러므로, 강수 행태의 변화, 특히 호우 빈도와 규모의 변화를 이해하는 것은 악기상과 관련된 재해를 최소화하는데 필요한 환경영향평가에 필수적이다. 최근 기후변화의 징후로써 뿐만 아니라 사회에 미치는 영향 때문에 강수 극값에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있다. 기후변화가 사회에 영향을 미치게 될 규모는 기후변동성의 변화, 특히 기후극값의 강도와 빈도에 의해서 결정 될 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 한반도 남부지방의 장기간의 강수강도와 극값의 변화 경향을 파악하는 것이다. 장기간의 일 강수 자료(1920-1999)를 보유하고 있는 대구, 전주, 부산, 목포의 자료를 산술 평균하여 남부지방의 지역 일 강수 계열을 구축하였다. 남부지방의 연강수일수는 뚜렷한 감소현상이 나타나는 반면 연강수량은 약한 증가현상을 보인다. 이로 인해서 강수일수당 강수량을 보여주는 강수강도는 뚜렷하게 증가하고 있다. 이 모든 경향은 통계적으로 유의한 수준의 변화이다. 계절별로는 여름의 강수량 증가와 가을의 강수일 수 감소가 가장 뚜렷하다. 또한 강수극값의 규모를 나타내는 90번째, 95번째, 99번째 백분위수의 값도 증가하는 경향을 보여주고 있다. 호우 사상의 발생빈도와 그에 의한 강수량은 증가하는 반면, 비호우 사상의 발생빈도는 감소하고, 그에 의한 강수량에는 뚜렷한 경향이 나타나지 않았다. 남부지방에 나타난 강수일수의 감소는 비호우 사상의 감소에 의한 것이었고, 강수량의 증가는 호우 사상의 발생빈도와 그에 의한 강수량 증가에 의한 것 임을 알 수 있다. 위의 결과는 한반도에서도 기후변화에 의한 수문순환의 강화를 나타나고 있음을 보여주는 것으로, 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 적절한 지역영향평가를 위해서는 강수 극값에 대한 보다 상세한 분석이 필요함을 제안하고 있다.

We need to use aesthetic landscape assessment(ALA) as the means of riparian buffer zone(RBZ) management. This study verified the political validity of designation policy of RBZ and land purchase policy. The purpose of this study was to propose RBZ landscape management strategies through ALA of RBZ in Gyeongan Stream for the better attractive and healthy riparian landscapes. The natural type landscape units(LUs) covered 40.9% of the entire area and the cultivated land type LUs covered 20.58%. Landscape assessment consisted of landscape quality and landscape integration assessment. The criteria for assessing landscape quality(LQ) were naturalness, interest, uniqueness, and landscape function. LQ was ranked into five grades using a matrix. The landscape integration assessment consisted of an inner integration assessment in each LU and outer integration assessment among LUs. To review the propriety of designating the riparian area and the riparian ecological belt, differences in ecological appraisal and aesthetic valuation were reviewed through a t-test, Oneway ANOVA, and logistic analysis. The results of ALA, 29.15% of the entire area scored at grade 1 in LQ, while 31.95% scored at grade 5, indicating that grade 5 areas occupied a high share. Surveyed areas were divided into designated RBZ and undesignated RBZ. Results indicated that designated RBZ scored grade 1 in LQ took up 33.2% of the total, significantly higher than the 23.3% taken up by undesignated RBZ. When examined according to buffer distance, grade 1 areas within 50m took up 50.2% of the total area, lower than the 32.7% at buffer distances of 500m-1km. Results indicated a 1% statistically significant difference. Accordingly, analysis was undertaken for the expansion of designation of the riparian area and the selection of appropriate land for formation of a riparian ecological belt, and was designated at priority 1 and 2 for land purchase. This study can also contribute to the formation of a riverine eco-belt through discovery of design factors for upgrading the ecology, aesthetics, and landscape of the riparian area and application in determining land purchase priorities.

The actual condition is that environmental pollution due to the development of various industries has recently become a serious issue. An interest in improving the gas mileage is rising due to an increase in the number of vehicles in the era of high oil price in particular. In order to solve this problem, priority should be given to light-weight design of car body, However, at present, a design method enabling the conventional steel plate to be replaced is direly needed in order to guarantee passengers' safety according to excessive light-weight design of car body. In this study, in order to apply a design method that could realize fuel savings and environmental pollution prevention through an improvement in gas mileage together with meeting the safety requirements for vehicles, it was supposed that CFRP/Al composites member would be used as primary structural member. And to this end, it was intended to obtain optimum design data by experimentally implementing external impulsive load applied to the car body. According to results of impact test of CFRP/Al composites member, a collapsed shape of folding, crack, and bending occurred. So, it was possible to find that energy was observed. And in case of specimen having an angle of $90^{\circ}$ in the outermost layer and stack sequence of $[90^{\circ}{_2}/0^{\circ}2]s$, its collapsed length was shown to be short. Therefore, it was possible to find that the absorbed energy was shown to be higher by 20% or above at the maximum.

The objectives of this study are to analyze flow characteristics for a side weir, which is an inlet structure for flow discharge reduction in the main channel through 3 dimensional numerical analysis and to understand the efficiency of the overflow effect at the side weir. In this study over 40 simulations using FLOW-3D, a computational fluid dynamics program were conducted, and the results were analyzed to find the influence of the flow hydraulics, geometry, channel and weir shapes on the coefficient. It is especially considered the relatively high stage in downstream that may cause flow within channel to be backed up along the channel. Additionally by setting up the scale of simulations much larger than the existing test equipment designed by other researchers, it is intended to analyze more accurate hydraulic behavior along with the realistic hydraulic features such as structures and volumes of flow. The results show that for design with subcritical flow only if the Froude number of upstream is sustained below 0.5 and the length of weir is 33-100% of the width of channel, it is expected to improve the efficiency of the overflow over a side weir.

The control rod drive system is critical to the reactor's reliable operation. The performance of its control system and mechanical system will gradually deteriorate because of operational and environmental stresses, thus increasing the reactor's operational risk. Currently there are few researches on the aging-related degradation of the entire control rod drive system. Because it is difficult to quantify the effect of various environmental stresses and establish an accurate physical model when multiple mechanisms superimposed in the degradation process. Therefore, this paper investigates the aging-related degradation of a control rod drive system by integrating Dynamic Object-Oriented Bayesian Network and Hidden Markov Model. Uncertainties in the degradation of the control system and mechanical system are addressed by using fuzzy theory and the Hidden Markov Model respectively. A system which consists of eight control rod drive mechanisms divided into two groups is used to demonstrate the method. The aging-related degradation of the control rod drive system is analyzed by the Bayesian inference algorithm based on the accelerated life test data, and the impact of different operating schemes on the system performance is also investigated. Meanwhile, the components or units that have major impact on the system's performance are identified at different operational phases. Finally, several essential safety measures are suggested to mitigate the risk caused by the system degradation.

BACKGROUND: Although antibiotics have contributed to treatment of bacterial infection, the antibiotic abuse can lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria. Impact of human activities on distribution of antibiotic resistance has been intensively issued and occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in contaminated environments would not be a surprise. Nonetheless, anthropogenic contamination with the dissemination of antibiotic resistance along uncontaminated environments has been less considered. The aim of this study is to investigate antibiotic resistant bacteria across Ulleungdo, known as antibiotic resistance free and anthropogenic pollution free environment in Rep. of Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS: Antibiotic resistant bacteria in coastal seawater of Ulleungdo were investigated in July 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility test using the disk diffusion method was applied with six drugs according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. Total 43 bacterial isolates were tested and 20 isolates among of them showed multidrug resistance. Particularly, the number and ratio of resistant bacteria were relatively high in a densely populated area of Ulleungdo. The bacterial communities were investigated using 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding approach in the coastal seawater and soils of Ulleungdo. In the bacterial communities, Firmicutes were selectively distributed only in seawater, suggesting the possibility of anthropogenic contamination in coastal seawater of Ulleungdo. CONCLUSION(S): We found antibiotic resistant bacteria in a populated area of Ulleungdo. The occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in Ulleungdo seems to result from the recent anthropogenic impact. Consistent monitoring of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the uncontaminated environment needs to considered for future risk assessment of antibiotics.
