기후변화는 이미 지속 가능한 수자원 관리에 영향을 미치고 있다. 기후변화가 댐 저수지의 물 공급에 미치는 영향은 일반적으로 지구 기후 모델 결과 기반으로 생성된 기후변화 시나리오를 사용하여 수행되고 있다. 그러나 기후변화를 추정하기 때문에 시나리오는 미래에 발생할 수도 있는 상황을 가정하는 한계로 인하여 본질적으로 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 문제에 대한 대책으로 의사결정 스케일링 접근법을 본 연구에 적용하였다. 연구대상지는 충주, 용담, 합천, 섬진강 댐이다. 강우 유출 모형(IHACRES)과 HEC-ResSim기반 댐 운영 모형을 결합하여 댐 이수 안전도를 분석하였다. 이 수안전도 분석은 안정적인 댐 운영에 목적을 두고 그 결과에 따라 구조적 또는 비구조적 이수공급 계획을 수립하는데 활용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이수안전도 분석으로 댐이 안전하게 운영될 수 있는지를 평가하고 장래 댐 운영 중 발생할 수 있는 잠재적인 위험을 식별하기 위함이다. 1995년 부터 2014년까지 관측된 강수량과 온도를 기준으로 49개의 기후스트레스 시나리오(분위 수 기준 7개의 강수 시나리오와 0℃부터 6℃도까지 1℃ 간격의 7개의 온도 시나리오)를 적용하였다. 그 결과 홍수기 강우 변동이 비홍수기의 강우 증가보다 수위 상승에 더 큰 변화를 가져왔다. 따라서 이수 안전도는 1분위 강우 의존성이 매우 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 강수 및 온도를 결합한 시나리오에서 댐 용수 공급 신뢰도는 개별 강수 및 온도 시나리오 신뢰도 변화의 합계보다 더 큰 변화가 모의되었다. 이러한 차이는 강수량의 감소와 증가가 각각 물과 에너지가 제한된 증발량의 발생으로 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 수행한 의사결정 스케일링을 통한 이수안전도 평가는 댐 운영의 효율성 향상을 도모할 것으로 평가된다.

기상 레이더, 인공위성, 라디오존데 등 날씨 예보를 수행하기 위해 많은 종류의 첨단 장비들이 사용되고 있다. 이들 중에서 지상에 설치된 기상 레이더는 넓은 탐지영역, 높은 시간 및 공간 분해능 등과 같은 많은 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 기상예보 과정에서 필수적인 장비이다. 이러한 기상 레이더 데이터의 내부에는 기상현상 이외에도 여러 가지 외부 요인에 의해 발생하는 비기상현상이 관측되는데, 이는 기상 예보의 정확도를 감소시키는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 기상 레이더 데이터를 이용한 연구를 통하여 비기상현상이 레이더에 관측되어 에코 형태로 나타난 것들 중에서 선 모양으로 발생하는 비기상에코를 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 원시 레이더 데이터에서 선에코를 구분하여 그 특성을 추출한 후, 이들을 바탕으로 데이터 페어를 구성하여 나이브 베이지안 분류기를 학습시켰다. 그리고 학습된 나이브 베이지안 분류기를 선에코와 기상에 코가 혼재된 사례에 적용하였다. 실제 사례를 바탕으로 한 실험을 통해서 제안한 나이브 베이지안 분류기가 효과적으로 선에코를 식별할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are widely used in a variety of products and cosmetic products including paper, paints, plastics and sunscreen. However, information on the safety of ZnONPs are not enough and many publications suggest possible toxic effects on environmental and human health. Furthermore, physico-chemical characteristics of nanoparticles makes it hard to test toxicity using the test guidelines of chemicals adopted by regulatory bodies. In this study, stability of ZnONPs was investigated using different types of isotonic solution, which is important in the toxicity study of intravenous route. Precipitation, aggregation, size, zeta potential and morphology of ZnONPs were evaluated with different times and concentrations. Precipitation of ZnONPs were observed in ionic isotonic solution including phosphate-buffered saline, Kreb's-Ringer solution, physiological salt solution and cell culture media of DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium) with 10% fetal bovine serum. On the other hand, they were stable without precipitation in non-ionic isotonic solution such as 5% glucose and 2% glycerol, respectively, which are biocompatible for intravenous injection. The average size of ZnONPs in 5% glucose and 2% glycerol was stably maintained, which is less than 30 nm and very similar as that in water dispersion of ZnONPs, provided by the manufacturer. The stability was maintained during the experimental period of 5 days and diluted state up to 15,000 ppm. These data suggest that 5% glucose and 2% glycerol solution can be used for the vehicles of ZnONPs in the toxicity study of intravenous injection route.

Background: This study analyzed the drought responses of five forest tree species grown in Korean peninsula, Korean fir Abies koreana (Ak), eastern white pine Pinus strobus (Ps), keyaki Zelkova serrata (Zs), tulip tree Liriodendron tulipifera (Lt), and Japanese elm Ulmus japonica (Uj). Physiological (chlorophyll, root collar diameter [RCD]) and biochemical responses (non-structural carbohydrates, proline, lipid peroxidase and abscisic acid [ABA]) of the plants grown under mild (MD) and severe drought (SD) were compared. Results: In this study, three soil moisture regimes: control (100% precipitation), MD (60% reduction in precipitation) and SD (20% reduction in precipitation) were applied. Soil moisture content showed high water content in control site compared to MD and SD. A decline in RCD was found for Korean fir, keyaki, and tulip plants, with eastern white pine and Japanese elm showing no significant decline to the prolonged drought exposure (both MD and SD). Total chlorophyll showed a significant decline in Korean fir and tulip, with the sugar levels indicating a significant increase in Korean fir and keyaki species under SD compared to control plants. Non-significant decline in sugar level was noted for eastern white pine and Japanese elm. High accumulation of ABA, malondealdehyde and proline was noted in Korean fir, tulip, and keyaki under SD compared to control. Signs of tree mortality was only observed in Korean fir under MD (38%) and SD (43%). Conclusions: The observed findings indicate the drought responses of five tree species. The majority of the morpho-physiological (especially mortality) and biochemical variables assessed in our study indicate superior long-term drought resistance of Ps and Uj compared to the highly sensitive Ak, and moderately sensitive Lt and Zs. The results provided will help species selection for afforestation programs and establishment of sustainable forests, especially of drought-tolerant species, under increased frequency and intensity of spring and summer droughts.

Bacillus sp. A56 was studied, because of its high flocculating activity. The flocculating substance produced by this strain was purified by ethanol precipitation, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) precipitation, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The FT-IR spectrum of the purified bioflocculant, designated as BF-56, showed typical characteristics of polysaccharides. The non-sugar substituents, and sugar components of BF-56 containing glucose, fucose, glucuronic acid, and galactose in an approximate molar ratio of 2.76:1.10:1:0.12, suggested that it was a novel bioflocculant with an estimated molecular mass of over $7{\times}10^3$ kDa. Rheological analysis of BF-56 revealed that it was a pseudoplastic that had higher apparent viscosity rate at dilute concentrations than those of zooglan. The solution of bioflocculant BF-56 exhibited non-Newtonian characteristics and it was compatible to high concentrations of salts such as KCl, NaCl, $CaCl_2,\;or\;FeCl_3.$ The present results suggested strong possibility of bioflocculant BF-56 to be fully applicable to industries such as wastewater treatment.

에탄올처리 찰가자미껍질 젤라틴의 젤라틴농도, pH, 정치온도 및 시간과 같은 겔화조건에 대한 물리적 특성 및 색조의 변화를 측정하였다. 젤라틴의 농도가 증가할수록 겔강도, 녹는점과 같은 물리적 특성은 증가하였고, 일정농도에서의 이러한 값들은 에탄올처리한 젤라틴이 무처리한 젤라틴에 비하여 컸다. 젤라틴 졸의 pH가 에탄올처리한 젤라틴의 경우 6.0일 때, 무처리한 젤라틴의 경우 5.0일 때, 겔강도, 졸화온도 및 겔화온도가 가장 높았고, 이를 벗어난 $pH\;5.0{\sim}7.0$의 범위에서는 서서히 감소하였으며, pH 5.0이하 및 pH 9.0이상에서는 급격히 감소하였다. 젤라틴 졸을 겔화시키기 위하여 정치시키는 온도의 경우 낮을수록, 정치시키는 시간의 경우 길어질수록 겔강도 및 졸화온도는 높았다. 겔화조건을 동일하게 하였을 때 에탄올처리한 젤라틴이 무처리한 젤라틴보다 물리적 특성값이 높게 나타났다.

The main function of an agricultural reservoir is to supply irrigation water to paddy rice fields in South Korea. Therefore, the operation of a reservoir is significantly affected by the phenology of paddy rice. For example, the early stage of irrigation season, a lot of irrigation water is required for transplanting rice. Therefore, water storage in the reservoir before irrigation season can be a key factor for sustainable irrigation, and it becomes more important under climate change situation. In this study, we analyzed the climate change impacts on reservoir storage rate at the beginning of irrigation period and simulated the reservoir storage, runoff, and irrigation water requirement under RCP scenarios. Frequency analysis was conducted with simulation results to analyze water supply probabilities of reservoirs. Water supply probability was lower in RCP 8.5 scenario than in RCP 4.5 scenario because of low precipitation in the non-irrigation period. Study reservoirs are classified into 5 groups by water supply probability. Reservoirs in group 5 showed more than 85 percentage probabilities to be filled up from half-filled condition during the non-irrigation period, whereas group 1 showed less than 5 percentages. In conclusion, reservoir capacity to catchment area ratio mainly affected water supply probability. If the ratio was high, reservoirs tended to have a low possibility to supply enough irrigation water amount.

In an effort to interpret the characteristics of fine particle concentrations in Busan, time variations of hourly monitored concentrations $PM_{10}$ (Particulate Matter with aerodynamic Diameter ${\le}10\;{\mu}m$) in Busan are analyzed for the period from 2000 to 2005. The characteristics of aerosol second generation formation process is also interpreted qualitatively, by using the statistical analysis of the meteorological variables including temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity. The result shows some significant annual, seasonal, weekly and diurnal variations of $PM_{10}$ concentrations. In particular, seasonal(i.e., spring) variations are governed by frequency of yellow sand events even for the non-yellow sand cases where yellow-sand days are eliminated in our analysis. However, in seasonal variation, summer season predominate lower $PM_{10}$ concentrations due to the frequent precipitation, and weekly and diurnal variations are both found to be reflecting the emission rate from traffic amount. Correlation coefficients between $PM_{10}$ concentration and meterological variables for non-yellow sand days show overall negative correlation with visibility, wind speed, cloud amounts, and relative humidity. However for non-precipitation days, during non-yellow sand period positive correlation are found clearly with relative humidity, suggesting the importance of secondary aerosol formation in Busan that can be achieved by both homogeneous aerosol formation and heterogeneous transformations resulting from hygroscopic aerosol characteristics.

NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbons) and fine particles such as P $M_{10}$ and P $M_{2.5}$ were measured at KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology) in Seoul for a month from the end of May. At the beginning of June, peak ozones exceeded 100ppb both near KIST and in Seoul while ozone and fine particles decreased from the middle of June due to frequent precipitation. Because the measurement site was close to trees on a hill, isoprene concentration went up to 4.1ppb with an average of 0.76ppb. Toluene was the highest all day long, but particularly high concentration in the afternoon implied a contribution of emission from solvent use as well as vehicle exhaust. Eighty-five percent of P $M_{10}$ was P $M_{2.5}$ on an average since major ions except sea salt, including nitrate, were present within P $M_{2.5}$. Daily variations of pollutants were generally similar except for NMHC. One of major differences in NMHC variation was maintenance of a relative high concentration in rainy day, showing that NMHC were not effectively scavenged by precipitation.ion.ion.
