Leptocephali of the genus Saurenchelys in the family Nettastomatidae were collected from the coastal area of Pohang, Korea and described as the first record from Korean waters. S. stylura and S. lateromaculatus are characterized by two intestinal swellings, the pattern of pigments in the notochord, and by smaller pectoral fins than those of other genus. They are very similar to each other but they are distinguished by the pattern of pigments in the notochord and the intestinal swellings.

Several validation studies have been made for QuikSCAT(QSCAT) wind data around the world, mainly in the offshore. However, until now, there were no validation studies for QSCAT wind with resolution of 12.5 km ('QSCAT 12.5 km wind') in the vicinity of Korean Peninsula. To validate 'QSCAT 12.5 km wind' and to investigate its characteristics around Korean Peninsula, the wind data from Ieodo Ocean Research Station, KMA buoys, and KORDI Realtime Observation Stations have been compared. Validation results showed that 'QSCAT 12.5 km wind' RMSE of wind direction and speed were $25.85^{\circ}$ and 1.83 m/s, respectively, at Ieodo Station. The mean wind speed correlation coefficient of KMA buoys and KORDI Realtime Observation Station were 0.78 and 0.61, and the mean wind speed RMSE were 2.2 m/s and 3.2 m/s, respectively. This seems to be mainly because of the distance between QSCAT and in-situ observation stations. The RMSE of wind direction were bigger than $40^{\circ}$ at all in-situ observation stations located near the shore, within 20 km from coastlines. Geophysical features where in-situ observation stations are located seem to affect wind validation scores.

S-57 is currently the IHO standard for the exchange of digital hydrographic data. S-57 is intended to support all types of hydrographic data. But, it has been used almost exclusively for encoding Electronic Navigational Charts(ENCs). In onder to meet this requirement, a new standard is being developed. GML will be the core encoding rule of IHO's new standard. but there has been no study that tried to develop the GML for ENC that are reconized as base map in the Marine GIS. If ENC is transformed into the form of GML, it may be widely used for more users and applications. This paper presents the application schema for translating ENC into GML and program.

A session transfer method, referred to as a Recipient Serving-call session control function (S-CSCF) Assured (RSA), is proposed in order to support both session mobility and consistency in IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) based next generation network (NGN). RSA session transfer simplifies a basic session transfer operation specified in [1] by using the user agent client (UAC) like characteristics of an S-CSCF. To show its efficiency, the session transfer delay and the traffic cost of RSA session transfer are investigated and compared with those of existing session transfer applications, including Assured and Consultative session transfers, by practically considering multiple session transfer failures. It is shown that RSA session transfer can further improve user experience by reducing session transfer delay as well as traffic cost than Assured and Consultative session transfers.

Deep sea water has mid temperature, abundant nutrients and minerals, and good tooter quality. For the purpose of drawing up deep sea water without pump pit construction, tile authors are considering to use air-lift pump. This report describes fundamental experimental investigation for air-lift pump characteristic and improvement in efficiency.

Analysis of four microsatellite markers from Mud Crab Scylla serrata revealed that there is high level of genetic diversity within this species. Genetic diversity of S. serrata was calculated using allele diversity, observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity (Het-exp), polymorphic information content, gene differentiation and Nei's $D_{A}$ distance. Mean polymorphic information content value was 0.797, which reflected high level of polymorphism across the loci of S. serrata. The Palau population has the highest genetic diversity (Het-exp=0.871), while the Kosrae population has the lowest genetic diversity (Hetexp=0.806). However, the geographical genetic distance among S. serrata populations from Yab, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Palau were low (0.2009${\sim}$0.3350). These results suggest that despite their wide distribution, S. serrata are no different in geographical genetic diversity within the five sampled locations.

We isolated and identified culturable Arctic bacteria that had inhabited soils around the Korean Arctic Research Station Dasan located at Ny-Alsund, Svalbard, Norway $(79^{\circ}N,\;12^{\circ}E)$. The collected soils were diluted in distilled water; the diluted soil-water was spread on 3M petri-films at Dasan Station. The petri-films were transported to the laboratory at KORDI, and cultured at $4^{\circ}C$. Colonies grown on the petri-films were subsequently cultured on nutrient agar plates at $4^{\circ}C$ every 7 days. The pure colonies were inoculated into nutrient liquid media, genomic DNA was extracted, and phylogenetic analysis was performed on the basis of 165 rDNA sequences. A total of 227 strains of bacteria were isolated. Among them, 16S rDNA sequences of 185 strains were identical with those of known strains isolated in this study, and 42 strains were finally identified. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA indicated that the 30 strains belonged to Pseudomonas, 7 strains to Arthrobacter, two strains to Flavobacterium, and the remaining to Achromobacter, Pedobacter, and Psychrobacter. Among the 42 strains, 14 bacteria produced protease: they were 6 strains of Pseudomonax, 4 strains of Arthrobater, an Achromobacter strain, 2 strains of Flavobacterium, and a Pedohacter strain. We expect these Arctic bacteria can be used for screening to develop new industrial enzymes that are active at low temperatures.

본 논문에서는 수중 초음파 통신용 QPSK 버스트 수신기를 DSP시스템을 이용하여 구현하기위한 시스템 설계에 대하여 논한다. 본 논문에서 고려하는 시스템은 25kHz의 반송주파수를 사용하고, 심벌율은 5kHz이며, 데이터 전송율은 10,000bps이다. 송신기에서 심벌정보를 전송하기 위해 펄스성형필터를 거친 신호를 디지털 믹서기를 이용하여 디지털 영역에서 반송주파수 대역으로 신호를 변조한 후 200kHz로 샘플링하는 D/A변환기를 이용하여 전송 아날로그 신호를 생성한다. 수신기에서는 수신 신호를 디지털로 처리하기 위하여 100kHz로 free running하는 A/D 변환기를 이용하여 수신 데이터를 얻는다. 수신기에서는 32심벌 길이의 프리앰블을 이용하여 프레임 동기를 찾음과 동시에 개략적인 심벌시간 동기와 위상편이를 추정한다. 추정한 위상편이값은 2차 PLL (phase-looked loop)의 초기값으로 사용하여 위상 추적을 수행하는 전송 시스템이다. 또한, 된 논문에서는 실해역 전송 시험 테이터를 통하여 조류의 변화에 의해 발생하는 Doppler 편이를 보상하기 위하여 PLL이 필수적으로 필요함을 보인다.

The Korean peninsula has a number of coastal sites where the rhythmic rising and lowering of water surface due to tides results in strong tidal current. The kinetic energy of these currents can be efficiently exploited by use of tidal current turbines. This paper investigates the characteristics of helical turbine based on in-field test. The experimental frame was constructed at the Uldolmok narrow channel between Jindo and Haenam and installed the helical turbine of diameter 2.2 m and height 2.5 m. 3-blade turbine had the maximum efficiencies of about 30% in the current velocity range between 1.5 and 2.3 m/s and 6-blade turbine han the maximum efficiencies of about 25%. The efficiency was constant with the current velocity. TSRs of 3-blade and 6 blade turbines were observed as 2.4 and 1.9 respectively.

On 7 December 2007, the Hebei Spirit, a 260,000 dwt VLCC, anchored near Korea's Daesan Port, was collided with a passing crane-carrying barge Samsung1, which was under tow of two tugs Samsung T5 and Samho T3. In this study, the behaviour of Hebei Spirit at the time of the accident has been reproduced and analyzed by simulation. This study precedes the study for the investigation of any available countermeasures for Hebei Spirit to prevent the accident. The simulation has been done only for Hebei Spiri and the motion of Samsung barge is just given with recorded AIS data. Dynamic characteristics of Hebei Spirit have been modeled based on empirical data and her sea trial data. Effects of current, wave and wind are also estimateed using empirical formula. Considering uncertainty of environmental condition and control of Hebei Spirit, simulation has been done by varying engine control method and holding power coefficients of the anchor. Finally, based on simulations, the most plausible scenario on the state of anchor and engine control could cause real accidents.
