A field study was conducted to estimate the emission rate of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from pine trees. In addition, the influences of meteological variables on their distribution characteristics have been investigated. A vegetation enclosure chamber was designed and constructed of Tedlar bag and acril. Sorbent tubes made up of Tenax TA and Carbotrap were used to collect biogenic VOCs emitted from each individual tree. Analysis of BVOCs was performed using a GC-FID system. The fundamental analytical parameters including linearity, retention time, recovery efficiency, and breakthrough volume were examined and verified for the determination of monoterpene emission rates. Total average concentration of each component is found to be $\alpha$-pinene (16.5), $\beta$-pinene (4.61) from pine trees, and $\alpha$-pinene (42.4), $\beta$-pinene (18.7 ng(gdw)$^{-1}$ hr$^{-1}$ ) from Korean pine trees. On the basis of our study, $\alpha$-pinene was found to be the major monoterpene emitted from both pine and Korean pine trees which were accompanied by $\beta$-pinene, camphene, and limonene. In ambient air, variable monoterpene compositions of emissions from pine trees were similar to Korean pine trees. Emission rates of monoterpene from each tree were found to depend on such parameters as temperature and solar radiation.

Characteristics of a downflow anaerobic packed bed reactor with raschig ring ceramics as a packing were measured and discussed for the basic evaluation of the process. A synthesized glucose substrate wastewater were used as a feed and process characteristics such as pH, biogas production, composition of produced gas, COD removal and VSS were measured with the hydraulic retention time (HRT) changing from 0.25 to 2 days. As a result, this type of reactor was applicable in continuous operation within the given HRT range and the transient period approaching the steady state was about 20 days. The content of methane in produced gas increase with HRT was always high above 50% enough to use as energy source. The COD removal efficiency increased gradually as HRT increased. The axial profile of VSS concentration in the reactor usually showed the maximum at the lower region and the minimum at the middle. The VSS concentration at the upper region and the exit appeared similarly. However, at 0.25 day of HRT, the VSS concentration of effluent became higher than that of the upper region. Therefore the optimum HRT of this reactor occurred about 0.5 day, at which the production of methane began to be just stabilized and loss of VSS and COD removal were resonable.

This study was conducted to understand the source and behavior of organic matter using the fluorescent technique (excitation-emission matrix) as a part of environmental monitoring program in the Korea manganese nodule mining site in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean. Water samples were collected at $0^{\circ},\;6^{\circ}N$, and $10.5^{\circ}N$ along $131.5^{\circ}W$ in August 2005. The concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) ranged from 58.01 to $171.93\;{\mu}M-C$. The vertical distribution of TOC was characterized as higher in the surface layer and decreased with depth. At $6^{\circ}N$, depth-integrated (from surface to 200 m depth) TOC was $337.1\;gC/m^2$, which was 1.4 times higher value than other stations. The exponential decay curve fit of vertical profile of TOC indicated that 59% of organic carbon produced by primary production in the surface layer could be decomposed by bacteria in the water column. Dissolved organic matter is generally classified into two distinctive groups based on their fluorescence characteristics using three-dimensional excitation/emission (Ex/Em) fluorescence mapping technique. One is known as biomacromolecule (BM; protein-like substance; showing max. at Ex 280/Em 330), mainly originated from biological metabolism. The other is geomacromolecule (GM; humic-like substance; showing max. at Ex 330/Em 430), mainly originated from microbial degradation processes. The concentration of BM and GM was from 0.42 to 7.29 TU (tryptophan unit) and from 0.06 to 1.81 QSU (quinine sulfate unit), respectively. The vertical distribution of BM was similar to that of TOC as high in the surface and decreased with depth. However, the vertical distribution of GM showed the reverse pattern of that of BM. From these results, it appeared that BM occupied a major part of TOC and was rapidly consumed by bacteria in the surface layer. GM was mainly transformed from BM by microbial processes and was a dominant component of TOC in the deep-sea layer.

The purpose of this study was to develop the $PM_{2.5}$ source profiles for diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles, which contained mass abundances in terms of mass fraction of $PM_{2.5}$ of chemical species. Seven diesel-powered vehicles and nine gasoline-powered vehicles were sampled from a chassis dynamometer exhaust dilution system. The species measured were water-soluble ions, elements, elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC). From this study, the large abundances of EC (54.5%), OC (26.0%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (1.5%), ${NO_3}^-$ (0.8%), and S (0.6%) were observed from the diesel-powered vehicle exhaust showing that carbons were dominant species. The gasoline-powered vehicle exhaust emitted large abundances of OC (38.3%), EC (4.2%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (3.6%), ${NH_4}^+$ (3.5%), and ${NO_3}^-$ (3.0%). The abundances of ${SO_4}^{2-}$, ${NH_4}^+$, and ${NO_3}^-$ from gasoline vehicle were greater than those of diesel vehicle. The emissions of P, S, Ca, Fe, and Zn among trace elements for the gasoline vehicle were greater than 1% of the $PM_{2.5}$ mass unlike those for the diesel vehicle. Particularly, the fraction of Zn was five times higher from the gasoline vehicle than that from the diesel vehicle. The source profiles developed in this work were intensively examined by applying chemical mass balance model.

현재 지구상에서 농업에 기인하여 배출되는 $N_2$O의 80% 정도가 지구의 온난화 뿐만 아니라 오존층 파괴에까지 영향을 미친다. 토양에서 수분함량 등과 관련한 유기태 탄소는 지하수면의 계절적 변화에 따라 탈질화를 결정하는 주요 요인이 되기도 하며 심층토의 탈질화 활동은 토양내 유기물을 분해하여 유기태 질소를 일시적으로 토양에 축적시키기도 한다. 그리고 토양의 관리방법, 폐기물의 토양처리, 질소질 비료의 시용 등이 $N_2$O 증가에 결정적 요인이 되기도 한다. 그러나 이러한 효과의 정도는 거의 알려져 있지 않을 뿐만 아니라 질산화나 탈질화와 같은 상반되는 과정과 제한 요소와 관련하여 범용적으로 적용할 수 있는 $N_2$O 방출을 예측하는 측정 계수와 같은 연구는 매우 미미한 상태이다. 그러므로 농업토양에서 비료와 유기물 시용 둥에 의해 발생하는 토양의 $N_2$O배출을 효율적으로 관리하기 위하여 심층토에서의 동적 역학적 $N_2$O 배출 측정과 관리 방법을 개발하여야 한다.

제3기 포항분지의 퇴적암류의 외견상의 특징은 비록 한 충준내라 할지라도 산출지, 즉 노두에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 이러한 현상은 주로 화학적풍화작용에 의한 화학조성 및 광물조성의 변화와 미화석 산출빈도의 변화에 기인된 것으로서, 이는 암층서, 생층서 및 지질경계를 설정하는데 많은 혼동을 유발하는 원인이 되었다. 화학적 풍화작용이 제3기 포항분지의 퇴적암류에 미친 영향을 지화학적, 광물학적 및 미화석 산출빈도와 관계시켜 풍화심도에 따른 변화를 체계적으로 연구 였고, 지질현상 해석에의 적용을 고찰하였다. 본 역의 화학적 풍화작용에 대한 감응력은 광물조성과 조직의 차이에 따라 변화를 보였고, 풍화대에서의 용탈현상이 미약한 것은 침식속도가 상대적으로 빠른 결과로 해석된다. 외견상의 가장 현저한 변화인 암색의 변화는 주로 유기물의 분해에 의한 결과이며, 미화석의 산출 또한 풍화 심도에 따른 큰 변화를 보여 풍화대 상부, 즉, 산화대에서는 산출이 극히 제한되고 특히 풍화작용의 감응력이 상대적으로 큰 두호층의 경우 그 영향은 더욱 현저하다. 그 영향은 지표로부터 7-10m에 이르러 포항분지의 경우, 지표시료를 이용한 암층서 및 생층서 연구시 이들자료 해석에 큰 제한이 있고 주의가 필요함을 지시한다.

해색 원격탐사에서 대기 보정은 자료의 정확도와 신뢰성 확보를 위해 반드시 수행해야하는 과정으로 높은 정확도가 요구된다. 또한 최근 원격 탐사 커뮤니티에서는 위성 자료의 오차에 대한 요구 사항이 증가함에 따라 대기 보정의 보조 자료로 사용되는 기상 변수(오존량, 기압, 바람장, 층적분 수증기량[total precipitable water, TPW])의 오차에 의해 발생하는 원격 반사도(remote sensing reflectance, R_rs)의 오차에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있지만 오차 요인으로 알려진 수증기 프로파일의 변동성에 의한 R_rs의 오차에 대한 연구는 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 Second Simulation of a Satellite Signal Vector version 2.1 모의를 통해 GOCI-II 관측 영역 내의 수증기 프로파일의 변동성에 따른 수증기 투과도의 오차를 계산하고 이로 인해 발생하는 해색 산출물의 오차에 대해 분석하였다. Radiosonde 관측 수증기 프로파일은 그 형태가 복잡할 뿐만 아니라 지표 부근의 큰 변동성으로 인해 기존 GOCI-II 대기 보정에서 사용하고 있는 US standard 62 수증기 프로파일과의 차이가 최대 0.007만큼 발생하였다. 이로 인해 발생한 수증기 투과도의 차이는 GOCI-II 대기 보정에서 에어로졸 반사도 추정의 차이를 발생시키고, 결과적으로 모든 밴드에서 R_rs의 오차가 발생하였다. 하지만 412-555 nm 밴드에서 수증기 프로파일 차이로 인한 R_rs 오차는 요구 정확도보다 낮은 2% 미만으로 나타났으며, 다른 해색 산출물인 클로로필(chlorophyll-a) 농도, 용존 유기물, 총 부유물 농도에서도 유사한 오차를 보이고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 대기 보정 및 해색 산출물의 정확도에 있어 수증기 프로파일의 차이의 영향이 적다는 것을 의미한다. 하지만 추후 연구에서 수증기 흡광 보정 시 수증기 프로파일의 변동성을 고려할 경우 보다 높은 수준의 R_rs 정확도 확보를 기대할 수 있다.

BACKGROUND: Soil bacteria play important roles in organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling during the non-growing season. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of soil management and chemical properties on the utilization of carbon sources by soil bacteria in paddy fields. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Biolog EcoPlate was used for analyzing community-level carbon substrate utilization profiles of soil bacteria. Soils were collected from the following three types of areas: plain, interface and mountain areas, which were tested to investigate the topology effect. The results of canonical correspondence analysis and Kendall rank correlation analysis showed that soil C/N ratio and NH₄⁺ influenced utilization of carbon sources by bacteria. The utilization of carbohydrates and complex carbon sources were positively correlated with NH₄⁺ concentration. Cultivated paddy fields were compared with adjacent abandoned fields to investigate the impact of cultivation cessation. The level of utilization of putrescine was lower in abandoned fields than in cultivated fields. Monoculture fields were compared with double cropping fields cultivated with barley to investigate the impact of winter crop cultivation. Cropping system altered bacterial use of carbon sources, as reflected by the enhanced utilization of 2-hydroxy benzoic acid under monoculture conditions. CONCLUSION: These results show that soil use intensity and topological characteristics have a minimal impact on soil bacterial functioning in relation to carbon substrate utilization. Moreover, soil chemical properties were found to be important factors determining the physiological profile of the soil bacterial community in paddy fields.

Positive bias stress-induced instability in amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO) bottom-gate thin-film transistors (TFTs) was investigated under high $V_{GS}$/low $V_{DS}$ and low $V_{GS}$/high $V_{DS}$ stress conditions through incorporating a forward/reverse $V_{GS}$ sweep and a low/high $V_{DS}$ read-out conditions. Our results showed that the electron trapping into the gate insulator dominantly occurs when high $V_{GS}$/low $V_{DS}$ stress is applied. On the other hand, when low $V_{GS}$/high $V_{DS}$ stress is applied, it was found that holes are uniformly trapped into the etch stopper and electrons are locally trapped into the gate insulator simultaneously. During a recovery after the high $V_{GS}$/low $V_{DS}$ stress, the trapped electrons were detrapped from the gate insulator. In the case of recovery after the low $V_{GS}$/high $V_{DS}$ stress, it was observed that the electrons in the gate insulator diffuse to a direction toward the source electrode and the holes were detrapped to out of the etch stopper. Also, we found that the potential profile in the a-IGZO bottom-gate TFT becomes complicatedly modulated during the positive $V_{GS}/V_{DS}$ stress and the recovery causing various threshold voltages and subthreshold swings under various read-out conditions, and this modulation needs to be fully considered in the design of oxide TFT-based active matrix organic light emitting diode display backplane.
