최근 이상기후로 수공 구조물의 설계빈도를 상회하는 극한호우의 증가 경향이 뚜렷함에 따라 과거에 설계된 농업용 저수지의 안전성 검토가 필요하다. 그러나 한국농어촌공사 관할 일정 규모 이상의 저수지를 제외한 지자체 관리 저수지는 비상시 긴급 방류가 가능 저수지는 전무하다(13,685개소). 이러한 경우 이동식 사이펀을 현장에 빠르게 투입하여 사전 방류하는 방법이 긴요하며, 본 연구에서는 사전 및 긴급방류 기능을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 직경 200 mm, 최소 수위차 6 m, 420(m²/h), 10,000(m²/day)의 이동식 사이펀을 경주시 유금저수지를 대상으로 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 테스트베드인 유금 저수지는 1945년 준공되어 공용기간이 78년 정도 경과한 시설물로 수문학적 안정성 분석 결과 현재 댐마루 구간의 최저높이는 27.15(EL.m)로 검토 홍수위 27.44(EL.m) 보다 0.29 m 낮아 제방을 통한 월류 가능성이 있고 여유고도 1.72 m 부족한 것으로 나타나 수문학 안전성을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 검토되었다. 유금저수지는 수위-유량 계측이 주기적으로 이루어진지 얼마 되지 않아 저수지의 수위-유량 관계 곡선식을 명확하게 확립하기 어려워 수위-용적 곡선을 임의로 도출하였으며 도출된 곡선을 기반으로 중소규모 노후저수지 운영 알고리즘을 통해 사전방류시간, 여수로 방류량을 고려하고 빈도별 홍수량에 따른 저수지 월류시간을 예측함으로써 사전에 대피 시간을 확보하고 붕괴위험을 저감할 수 있는 기술을 확보하였다. 직경 200 mm 이동식사이펀 1열 기준, 30년 빈도 홍수량 유입 시 상한수위 기준 80% 수준(약 30,000 m²)을 유지하면서 주민대피 시간(약 1시간)을 확보할 수 있는 최적 사전방류시간은 12시간 이전으로 분석되었다. 중소규모 노후저수지를 대상으로 사이펀 활용 사전방류기술 및 저수지 운영 알고리즘에 따라 이상기후 대비 사전에 방류를 시행하고 관리자의 의사결정을 돕는다면, 저수지 붕괴 위험지역 내의 주민들의 안전을 확보하고 주민대피 지원체계 구축을 통해 주민들의 불안감 해소, 저수지 위험상황 시 위험회피 수단 제공으로 위험요소 감소가 충분히 가능하다.

A variety of influenza A viruses from animal hosts are continuously prevalent throughout the world which cause human epidemics resulting millions of human infections and enormous industrial and economic damages. Thus, early diagnosis of such pathogen is of paramount importance for biomedical examination and public healthcare screening. To approach this issue, here we propose a fully integrated Rotary genetic analysis system, called Rotary Genetic Analyzer, for on-site detection of influenza A viruses with high speed. The Rotary Genetic Analyzer is made up of four parts including a disposable microchip, a servo motor for precise and high rate spinning of the chip, thermal blocks for temperature control, and a miniaturized optical fluorescence detector as shown Fig. 1. A thermal block made from duralumin is integrated with a film heater at the bottom and a resistance temperature detector (RTD) in the middle. For the efficient performance of RT-PCR, three thermal blocks are placed on the Rotary stage and the temperature of each block is corresponded to the thermal cycling, namely $95^{\circ}C$ (denature), $58^{\circ}C$ (annealing), and $72^{\circ}C$ (extension). Rotary RT-PCR was performed to amplify the target gene which was monitored by an optical fluorescent detector above the extension block. A disposable microdevice (10 cm diameter) consists of a solid-phase extraction based sample pretreatment unit, bead chamber, and 4 ${\mu}L$ of the PCR chamber as shown Fig. 2. The microchip is fabricated using a patterned polycarbonate (PC) sheet with 1 mm thickness and a PC film with 130 ${\mu}m$ thickness, which layers are thermally bonded at $138^{\circ}C$ using acetone vapour. Silicatreated microglass beads with 150~212 ${\mu}L$ diameter are introduced into the sample pretreatment chambers and held in place by weir structure for construction of solid-phase extraction system. Fig. 3 shows strobed images of sequential loading of three samples. Three samples were loaded into the reservoir simultaneously (Fig. 3A), then the influenza A H3N2 viral RNA sample was loaded at 5000 RPM for 10 sec (Fig. 3B). Washing buffer was followed at 5000 RPM for 5 min (Fig. 3C), and angular frequency was decreased to 100 RPM for siphon priming of PCR cocktail to the channel as shown in Figure 3D. Finally the PCR cocktail was loaded to the bead chamber at 2000 RPM for 10 sec, and then RPM was increased up to 5000 RPM for 1 min to obtain the as much as PCR cocktail containing the RNA template (Fig. 3E). In this system, the wastes from RNA samples and washing buffer were transported to the waste chamber, which is fully filled to the chamber with precise optimization. Then, the PCR cocktail was able to transport to the PCR chamber. Fig. 3F shows the final image of the sample pretreatment. PCR cocktail containing RNA template is successfully isolated from waste. To detect the influenza A H3N2 virus, the purified RNA with PCR cocktail in the PCR chamber was amplified by using performed the RNA capture on the proposed microdevice. The fluorescence images were described in Figure 4A at the 0, 40 cycles. The fluorescence signal (40 cycle) was drastically increased confirming the influenza A H3N2 virus. The real-time profiles were successfully obtained using the optical fluorescence detector as shown in Figure 4B. The Rotary PCR and off-chip PCR were compared with same amount of influenza A H3N2 virus. The Ct value of Rotary PCR was smaller than the off-chip PCR without contamination. The whole process of the sample pretreatment and RT-PCR could be accomplished in 30 min on the fully integrated Rotary Genetic Analyzer system. We have demonstrated a fully integrated and portable Rotary Genetic Analyzer for detection of the gene expression of influenza A virus, which has 'Sample-in-answer-out' capability including sample pretreatment, rotary amplification, and optical detection. Target gene amplification was real-time monitored using the integrated Rotary Genetic Analyzer system.
