Korea, which is located in the middle-latitude area of the northern hemisphere, has four seasons. These seasons can be classified based on their months, mean temperatures, biology and natural phenomena. In this study, climatic changes were identified by biotic and temperature seasons, changing trends were compared by season, and the appropriateness of the biotic phenomena for the biotic season classification was examined. The data for this study included the mean temperatures, and biology phenomenon observation dates, which had been observed for 38 years from the ASOSs in seven Gwangju and Jeonnam regions. Limitations were found in the classification of the temperature and biotic seasons. Especially in the case of the biotic season based on a single life, the points of the first sighting and the initial sound fluctuated so much that the accuracy of the results was not guaranteed. Therefore, the life species had to be selected subject to detailed verification and accurate specifications, and to be applied to the meteorological phenomena. In addition, there were lives in the standard biology that could no longer be observed because of environmental pollution and climatic change, which indicates the need to protect the existing standard biology.

Accurate and timely information on status and trends in the environment is necessary to shape sound water quality management policy and to implement water quality improvement programs efficiently. One of the most effective ways to communicate information on water quality trends to policy-makers, scientists, and the general public is with comprehensive water quality indices. The derivation and structure of a water quality index (WQI) for the classification of surface water quality is discussed. The WQI generally developed through the selection, transformation and weighting of determinants with rating curves based on legal standards and quality directives or guidelines. The representative pollutants should be included in the index, and the relationship between the quantity of these pollutants in the water and the resulting quality of the water should be based on scientific results. The WQI be simply and meaningfully formulated that nonscientifically trained users can easily become familiar with the framework of the system and use the output data to evaluate their own pollution problems.

본 연구는 야생조류의 새벽 지저귐 시작시간에 영향을 미치는 환경요인과 종간 차이를 밝히는데 그 목적이 있다. 음성녹음은 봄철(2014년 4월~7월) 번식기 동안 일출 2시간 전에 시작하여 매일 2시간씩 실시하였다. 녹음된 소리는 분석 프로그램(Adobe Audition CC)을 이용하여 소노그램 패턴 확인을 통해 종을 구분하고 종별 지저귐 개시 시간을 분석하였다. 야생조류 지저귐 시작시간과 환경요인 및 종간차이 분석을 위해 한국 기상청으로부터 기상자료(일강수량, 율리안일, 일출시간, 월출시간, 온도, 여명시간)를 구하였다. 연구결과, 일강수량과 월출시간을 제외한 모든 환경요인이 야생조류의 지저귐 개시 시간과 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 야생조류 종간 지저귐 개시 시간에 차이가 있었다. 야생조류는 지저귐 개시 시간 차이에 따라 3개 그룹(일찍 일어나는 새, 중간에 일어나는 새, 늦게 일어나는 새)으로 구분되었다. 꿩과 노랑턱멧새는 일찍 일어나는 새 그룹에 속하였고, 딱따구리류는 늦게 일어나는 그룹에 속하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 야생조류를 대상으로 지저귐 개시 시간에 대한 우선순위를 밝힌 최초의 논문이라는 데서 의미가 있다. 그러나 왜 종별로 지저귐 개시 시간에 차이가 나는지에 대해서는 후속 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the noise level and frequency experienced by premature infants receiving incubator care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: The participants were 20 premature infants receiving incubator care in the NICU of a university hospital in Daejeon Metropolitan city. The noise level was measured using a professional sound-level meter (ET-958, FLUS, Shenzhen, China) based on a noise classification table developed by the author. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients using SPSS for Windows version 22.0. Results: The average noise level experienced by premature infants receiving incubator care in the NICU was 51.25 dB (range: 45.0~81.7 dB). The frequency of noises was highest for factors related to nursing activities (40.3%), followed by human factors (29.1%), machine alarm sounds (20.1%), incubator operation (6.6%), and internal environmental factors (3.9%). Conclusion: According to the above results, the noise level experienced by premature infants receiving incubator care in the NICU exceeded the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an interventional program to reduce noise in the NICU, and to conduct follow-up studies to verify its effectiveness.

This research paper advances our understanding of complex interdependence among countries. Existing research has found that total factor productivity (TFP), the residual from the economic growth function, is hindered in the absence of a country's strong political and legal institutions or if a country does not already have a sufficiently high level of TFP. We also know that regional efforts to eliminate pollution are complex. Bridging these two areas while focusing on a high polluting yet high innovating region, the following research questions are posed: Are Northeast Asian countries key collaborators in pursuit of green R&D? Are Northeast Asian countries collaborating extensively with each other? What are the implications for other regions' attempts to establish these kinds of relations? To answer the above questions, biofuels-related technology as defined in the International Patent Classification's "green inventory" of environmentally sound technologies is examined. Patent data is drawn from the USPTO and inventors' country origin as the unit of analysis. For the 1990-2013 period, the Northeast Asian countries are in the core of a small set of collaborating countries. There is evidence that their centrality has increased in recent years. Most importantly, East Asia is becoming a singular research hub in terms of biofuels-related R&D, offering a counter in the foreseeable future to the dominance of the American and European research network hubs.

The residence means a given place. It is repeated that process of overcome, protection, assimilation and adaptation has applied to environmental condition. Architecture is part of environment and various. Thus there are lots of types. We need the place with uniqueness, and it is suitable for biological and humanistic environment. The living space turned to be meaningful place with design, and people start to live with nature together. Therefore design restructures whole environment and makes people to be closed with nature. We have to understand nature of environment to connect one place with the other place, and people start to put down roots certain place. Coping with social needs, we have to develop the architectural alternative which can be applied to natural condition. This study suggest sound high-density urban residential model as it function social mix.
