본 연구는 주암호, 동복호, 영산호 세 호소의 이화학적 인자, 식물플랑크톤 생체량(Chl ${\alpha}$) 및 일차생산력을 조사하기 위하여 2004년 4월부터 2006년 3월까지 총 8회에 걸쳐 계절별로 실시하였다. 소형식물플랑크톤이 우점(>60%)한 동복호의 식물플랑크톤 생체량은 상류에서 2004년 4월에 높았지만 하류에서는 2004년 6월에 높은 분포를 나타내었다. 주암호에서 식물플랑크톤 생체량이 높았던 2004련 4월에 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았다. 영산호는 8월 (2004, 2005)에 높은 생체량을 보였는데 이 시기 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았다. 일차생산력은 동복호, 영산호, 주암호 순으로 높게 분포되었다. 단순 회귀 분석결과, 동복호에서 젠체식물플랑크톤, 소형식물플랑크톤과 일차생산력은 투명도와 상관성을 보였다. 주암호에서는 하류에서 크기별 식물플랑크톤과 $PO_4^{3-}$가 상관성을 보였고 일차생산력은 수온, TN과 높은 상관성을 보였다. 영산호 상, 하류에서 식물플랑크톤은 TN/TP와 음의 상관성을 보였고 일차생산력은 상류에서 높은 상관성을 보였으나 하류에서는 탁도와 높은 상관성을 보였다. 주암호와 동복호는 기타 환경 인자와의 단순회귀분석결과로부터 인과 질소 관리의 필요성이 제기된다. 영산호는 부유물질을 관리할 필요성이 있고 하류의 높은 일차생산력으로 보아 식물플랑크톤의 내부생산 기여율에 대한 추가적인 조사를 통한 저감방안 마련도 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

A nuclear power plant is composed of a number of primary components. Maintaining the integrity of these components is one of the most critical issues in nuclear industry. In order to maintain the integrity of these primary components, a complicated procedure is required including regular in-service inspection, failure assessment, fracture mechanics analysis, etc. Also, experts in different fields have to co-operate to resolve the integrity issues on the basis of inspection results. This integrity evaluation process usually takes long, and thus, is detrimental for the plant productivity. Therefore, an effective safety evaluation system is essential to manage the integrity issues on a nuclear power plant. In this paper, a web-based fatigue life evaluation system for primary components in nuclear power plant is proposed. This system provides engineering knowledge-based information and concurrent and collaborative working environment through internet, and thus, is expected to raise the efficiency of integrity evaluation procedures on primary components of a nuclear power plant.

Temperate rocky reefs dominated by the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, support diverse assemblages of benthic macroalgae that provide a suite of ecosystem services, including high rates of primary production in aquatic ecosystems. These forests and the benthic macroalgae that inhabit them are facing both short-term losses and long-term declines throughout much of their range in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Here, we quantified patterns of benthic macroalgal biomass and irradiance on rocky reefs that had intact kelp forests and nearby reefs where the benthic macroalgae had been lost due to deforestation at three sites along the California, USA and Baja California, MEX coasts during the springs and summers of 2017 and 2018. We then modeled how the loss of macroalgae from these reefs impacted net benthic productivity using species-specific, mass-dependent rates of photosynthesis and respiration that we measured in the laboratory. Our results show that the macroalgal assemblages at these sites were dominated by a few species of stipitate kelps and fleshy red algae whose relative abundances were spatially and temporally variable, and which exhibited variable rates of photosynthesis and respiration. Together, our model estimates that the dominant macroalgae on these reefs contribute 15 to 4,300 mg C m^-2 d^-1 to net benthic primary production, and that this is driven primarily by a few dominant taxa that have large biomasses and high rates of photosynthesis and / or respiration. Consequently, we propose that the loss of these macroalgae results in the loss of an important contribution to primary production and overall ecosystem function.

강원도 평창군 일대에서 화전 후 묵밭의 식생 천이에 따른 식물량, 순 일차 생산성 및 P/B 비의 변화를 조사하였다. 초본의 지상부 식물량은 5년차 묵밭에서 3.8 ton/ha로 가장 많았다. 낙엽 건중량은 50년차 묵밭까지 증가한 다음 감소하는 포물선형 변화를 나타내었다. 천이가 진행됨에 따라 흉고 단면적은 로그 함수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 교목의 목본 수는 15년차 묵밭까지 빠르게 증가하다가 경과 년 수에 따라 자가 솎음질 과정을 거쳐 감소하는 경향이었다. 80년차 묵밭에서 DBH 등급에 따른 목본의 분포는 역 J 자형을 나타내었고, 우점종은 신갈나무이었다. 식물 현조량은 천이 초기와 후기 단계에서 완만한 증가를 나타내었고, 중기 단계인 $10{\sim}50$년차 묵밭에서 빠르게 증가하였다. 5, 10, 20, 50 및 80년차 묵밭의 식물 현존량은 각각 5, 14, 75, 251 및 373 ton/ha로 추정되었다. 연간 순 생산성은 초기 35년간 점진적인 증가 후 감소하여 점차 안정화하는 경향을 나타내었다. 연간 순 일차 생산성의 증가 속도는 천이 중기 단계 보다 초기 단계에서 빠르게 증가하였다. 5, 10, 20, 35, 50 및 80년차 묵밭의 순 일차 생산성은 각각 8.6, 9.3, 12.9, 15.1, 13.7 및 3.6 ton/ha/yr이었다. P/B 비율은 천이가 진행됨에 따라 지수 함수적으로 감소하는 것으로 추정되었다. 5, 10, 20, 50 및 80년차 묵밭에서 추정된 P/B 비율은 각각 0.60, 0.39, 0.19, 0.06 및 0.01이었다. 이러한 결과는 Odum(1969)이 제시한 삼림천이 과정의 생물 에너지론과 잘 부합하였다.

Apple is cultivated under various climatic conditions in many parts of the world. Better understanding of how climate, genotype, soil, and management factors interact to determine crop productivity will improve our ability to optimize crop selection, management strategies, and resource use efficiencies. We developed and applied a physiology-based apple canopy model to evaluate how climatic factors and crop phenotypes interact to determine biomass accumulation, radiation use efficiency (RUE), and water use efficiency (WUE) at multiple production sites between western and eastern states of the US including WA, CA, NY, WV, and PA. Our results indicate that solar radiation is a dominant factor limiting biomass production in the eastern states while VPD is the primary factor governing crop water use across eastern and western states during the peak growing season. Crop RUE and WUE were strongly correlated in the western states but not in the eastern states while VPD showed highly negative correlation with both RUE and WUE across all locations. The RUE improved with increasing fraction of diffuse radiation ($f_{df}$) and the $RUE-f_{df}$ relationships revealed distinctive responses between western and eastern states. Overall, the eastern locations exhibited slightly higher RUE and WUE than the western locations. However, overall productivity and total water use were greater in the western states. A clear decline of productivity with increasing temperature and afternoon VPD past an optimum was predicted in the western locations but this pattern was less clear in the eastern locations. We also discuss potential phenotypes with specific physiological and morphological traits that are differentially suitable for western and eastern locations. Our results provide plausible, spatially explicit explanations and insights to disentangle the complex relationships between crop productivity, resource use efficiencies, phenotype, and climate drivers in apple grown in the US.

Periphyton is known to be one of major primary producers for river ecosystem. While the growth of periphyton usually observed on the stone surface in gravel river, the large growth of periphyton is sometimes seen even in sand river with relatively small river discharge. In the present study, field observations and numerical simulations were performed to investigate the growth of periphyton in sand river. In the field observation, the growth of periphyton on fixed sand bed was measured weekly. The results of the field observations show that the large growth of periphyton occurs in sand river until the bed material sands have not moved. An integrated numerical simulation model is presented to describe the growth of periphyton at observed river reach, and a series of numerical simulations were performed to study the effect of river discharge on growth of periphyton in the sand river. The results of the numerical simulations show that the net primary production of periphyton decreases with the river discharge. These results suggest that the reduction of river discharge at ordinary water stage strongly affects the primary productivity of periphyton even in sand river.

In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, the application of big data analysis technology is crucial in various industries. In this regard, considerable research is necessary to improve aquafarming productivity, particularly in fish culture, which is one of the primary industries in the world. In this study, a sample experiment using a flop was conducted to improve oyster productivity in fish farms, and a flush was installed in an environment similar to aquaculture farms. Thereafter, the temperature data of the water environment where the formation of burrows considerably improved were collected; the growth rate of burrow seeds was also measured. The gathered experimental data were examined by time series data analysis. Finally, a system that visualizes the analysis results based on big data is proposed. In accord with the results of this study, it is expected that more advanced research on the productivity improvement of oyster aquafarming will be performed.

The main purpose of this research is to measure and analyze how productive the health centers are and how much inputs(or outputs) in the inefficient health centers should be decreased(or increased) for efficiency. The evaluation of the performance of health centers gives a strong incentive to improve resource allocation in regional health planning. It has been, however, implemented very rarely until now. In this regard, this paper measures the performance of the health centers with a single indicator for multiple-outputs in terms of productivity(technical efficiency), based on Data Envelopment method. The 20 Kyungnam health centers which provide clinic services and specific primary health care services were analyzed. The results show that 50.0% of 20 health centers were productive with respective to overall technical efficiency, 65.0% were productive for pure technical efficiency, and 50.0% for scale efficiency. The inefficient group includes Geoje, Mahsan, Miryang, Sahchun, Tongyoung, Gosung, Nahmhae, Euryang, Hahmahn, Hahbchun health centers. The worst case was identified as Tongyoung health center which represented a 47.5% efficiency, compared with productive health centers. The empirical results for input-output analysis indicates that the low-productive health centers have excessive manpower in administration department, producing low outputs in clinical services and vaccination program. These findings imply that a systemic evaluation of the performance of the Korean health centers and the subsequent structural reform are strongly required.

A three-dimensional ecosystem model is applied to the Suyoung Bay, located at the southeastern part of Korea, to study of the material distribution in the time scale of several tens days. The model has included of the DIN(Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen), DIP(Dissolved Inorganic Phosphate), phytoplankton, zooplankton and detritus, and also was coupled with the physical processes. The spatial distribution of chlorophyll-a and primary productivity in the model is determined by the physical and chemical-biological parameters. The horizontal distributions of the DIN, DIP and chlorophyll-a are decreased from the coast to the off-shore, though the nutrients show some more complicated pattern than the chlorophyll-a. The nutrient contents in the off-shore are low, and thus a relatively low productivity(chlorophyll-a) are presented. On the whole, the distribution of the results of model are smoother than the observed ones and some small scale variation in the observed data cannot be reproduced by the model due to the resolution limits of model. However, the basic pattern and the quantitavities has been reproduced by the model well.
