이 연구는 우리나라 서 남 동해안 및 제주도 총 123개소의 곰솔 해안방재림 실태조사 결과와 국내 외 사례와의 비교를 토대로 형상비를 고려한 밀도 관리의 필요성과 방안을 검토하기 위하여 실시하였다. 곰솔의 형상비(수고/흉고직경)는 서 남 동해안에서 임목밀도와 정의 상관을 보이며, 서해안은 평균 66.32로 남해안 49.57, 동해안 48.19 및 제주도 48.29에 비하여 현저히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 서해안은 형상비 70이상인 곰솔 임분이 전체 개소수의 50%를 차지하여, 국내 외 사례와 비교할 때 방재기능의 저하가 우려되었다. 임목밀도는 동해안을 제외한 대부분 지역에서 우리나라 산림청 및 일본 삼림총합연구소의 기준보다 현저히 높은 과밀상태를 보여 밀도조절이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 우리나라 해안지역 곰솔의 생장 추정식에 의하면 해안방재림의 기능 저하를 방지하기 위하여 형상비가 급증하는 14년생 이하의 유령림에 대한 밀도관리가 중요한 것으로 시사되었다. 특히 곰솔림의 1차 솎아베기는 형상비 70을 초과하는 8년생 임분이 되기 전에 실시해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 우리나라와 일본의 곰솔 밀도기준을 비교한 결과, 목재생산을 목표로 한 국내의 곰솔 밀도기준에 비하여 형상비를 고려한 일본의 기준은 방재기능이 비교적 취약한 흉고직경 20 cm이하의 유령림에 대해서는 보다 높은 임목밀도를 요구하는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 우리나라에는 곰솔 해안방재림의 적정 밀도기준이 없기 때문에 현지조사 결과를 토대로 방재기능에 중점을 두고 설정된 일본의 기준이 유효하게 활용될 수 있다고 판단되었다.

Cryptomeria japonica plantation was monitored every year during 15 years from 1983 to 1997 for stem diameter and volume. The reciprocal equation, 1/Y = A + B/N, was applied to the relationship between cumulative volume Y and cumulative number N from the largest tree in the stand each year. The parameters A and B, which means respectively the reciprocal of an asymptotic value of total stand stem volume and the reciprocal of the maximum stem volume, are related by a power function. The power functional relationship between A and B derived a linear relationship of B-points ( $N_{B}$, $V_{B}$; $N_{B}$ = B/A, $Y_{B}$ = 1/2A) of each Y-N curve on log-log coordinates. The gradient of B-point line was so steep that the Y-N curve moved parallel upward year by year. The time trajectory of mean stem volume (W) and density ($\rho$) provided evidence in favor of the 3/2 power law of self-thinning, because the gradient of W - $\rho$ trajectory on log-log coordinates approximated to -3/2 at the final stage of stand development. On the basis of the results of Y-N curves and W - $\rho$ trajectory, the time trajectory of maximum stem volume $W_{max obs}$ and $\rho$ was derived theoretically. The gradient of $W_{max obs}$ - $\rho$ trajectory on log-log coordinates is calculated to be -0.6105 at the final stage. The gradient of $W_{max obs}$ - $\rho$ trajectory was steeper than that of W - $\rho$ trajectory at the early stage, while the former is gentler than the latter at the later stage.stage.e.age.e.

Objective: Piglet pre-weaning mortality is an important variable indicating the efficacy of farrowing management and animal well-being during lactation. The present study determined the association of newborn traits measured soon after birth with piglet pre-weaning mortality and growth. Methods: In total, 805 piglets born from 57 multiparous sows were investigated. Their blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose and rectal temperature at 24 h after birth (RT24h) were monitored. Birth order, sex, skin color, integrity of the umbilical cord, attempts to stand and birth intervention were monitored. Piglets were weighed at day 0, 7, and 21 to evaluate average daily gain (ADG). Results: Piglet pre-weaning mortality for lactation period was 12.6% and cumulative mortality during the first 7 days of age was 8.6%. A higher proportion of piglets with pale skin color died compared to piglets with normal skin color (26.7% vs 7.7%, p<0.001). A higher (p<0.001) proportion of piglets that attempted to stand after 5 min (38.5%) died compared to piglets that attempted to stand within 1 min (6.3%) after birth. Piglet body weight at birth ($BW_B$), blood glucose and the number of piglets born alive (BA) were correlated with ADG (p<0.05). Piglets with $BW_B$ <1.30 kg had higher (p<0.001) mortality rate than piglets with $BW_B{\geq}1.80 kg$ (19.0% vs 3.3%) and piglets with $BW_B$ 1.30 to 1.79 kg (4.0%). Piglet with RT24h <$37.0^{\circ}C$ had higher (p<0.001) mortality rate (86.2%) than piglets with RT24h >$38.5^{\circ}C$ (3.9%). Conclusion: Low $BW_B$ and low RT24h compromise piglet survival during the lactation period in the tropical conditions. Piglets in the litters with a high BA, low $BW_B$ and low blood glucose have reduced ADG.

A survey performed on property of water usage, a recognition and stand on water, and awareness of practice related to water saving among primary and secondary teachers in Daegu metropolitan city leads to the following result. First, regarding the actual condition of water usage, boiled tap water was most preferred, followed by purified tap water, mineral water, and water from a mineral spring respectively. Second, the result of a survey regarding a recognition and stand on water presents that the quality of purified water and mineral water is generally trusted, not including tap water. A majority of teachers barely had any ideas on the process of tap water supplies and sewage disposal system. Third, another survey was performed to determine whether there's a gender difference on a general recognition of and stand on water usage, actual practice of water saving and love for water. As a result, 7 out of 25 questions showed the difference of significance by p<.05. As for tap water service and sewage disposal system, there were differences on 5 out of 6 questions, indicating that male teachers are more knowledgable than their female counterparts. Fourth, the result of the research about the recognition and attitudes about water and water saving of the teachers who were categorized by the age group showed that 14 questions of the 25 questions had differences in p<.05 level. Teachers in their twenties and thirties had less interest than those in their forties and fifties.

Korea needs proper and rational public policies on conservation and use of forest land and other natural resources because of the accelerating expansion of national land developments in recent years. Unfortunately, there is no systematic planning system to support the needs. Generally, forest land use planning needs suitability analysis based on efficient land classification system. The goal of this study was to classify a forest land using multivariate satistical methods. A case study was carried out in winter of 1983 on a mountainous area higher than 100m above sea level located at Mt. Kwanak in Anyang -city, Kyung-gi-do (province). The study area was 19.80 km$^2$wide and was divided into 1, 383 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTU's) by a 120m$\times$120m grid. Fourteen descriptors were identified and quantified for each OTU from existing national land data : elevation, slope, aspect, terrain form, geologic material, surface soil permeability, topsoil type, depth of the solum, soil acidity, forest cover type, stand size class, stand age class, stand density class, and simple forest soil capability class. For this study, a FORTRAN IV program was written for input and output map data, and the computer statistics packages, SPSS and BMD, were used to perform the multivariate statistical analysis. Fourteen variables were analyzed to investigate the characteristics of their fire quench distribution and to estimate the correlation coefficients among them. Principal component analysis was executed to find the dimensions of forest land characteristics, and factor scores were used for proper samples of OTU throughout the study area. In order to develop the classes of forest land classification based on 102 surrogates, cluster and discriminant analyses of principal descriptor variable matrix were undertaken. Results obtained through a series of multivariate statistical analyses were as follows ; 1) Principal component analysis was proved to be a useful tool for data selection and identification of principal descriptor variables which represented the characteristics of forest land and facilitated the selection of samples.

Armillaria root disease affects forests around the world. It occurs in many habitats and causes losses in the infested stands. Weather conditions are important factors for growth and development of Armillaria species. Yet, the relation between occurrence of damage caused by Armillaria disease and weather variables are still poorly understood. Thus, we used generalized linear mixed models to determine the relationship between weather conditions of current and previous year (temperature, precipitation and their deviation from long-term averages, air humidity and soil temperature) and the incidence of Armillaria-induced damage in young (up to 20 years old) and older (over 20 years old) coniferous stands in selected forest districts across Poland. We used unique data, gathered over the course of 23 years (1987-2009) on tree damage incidence from Armillaria root disease and meteorological parameters from the 24-year period (1986-2009) to reflect the dynamics of damage occurrence and weather conditions. Weather parameters were better predictors of damage caused by Armillaria disease in younger stands than in older ones. The strongest predictor was soil temperature, especially that of the previous year growing season and the current year spring. We found that temperature and precipitation of different seasons in previous year had more pronounced effect on the young stand area affected by Armillaria. Each stand's age class was characterized by a different set of meteorological parameters that explained the area of disease occurrence. Moreover, forest district was included in all models and thus, was an important variable in explaining the stand area affected by Armillaria.

The purpose of this study is to estimate height growth patterns and site index cuties (base index age 50 years) for Japanese red cedar trees(Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) grown in southern regions of Korea. The Chapman-Richards growth function was selected for stand height prediction using on the results of stem analysis data sets. Anamorphic base age invariant site index cuties were presented based on this height prediction equation. The resulting site index prediction equation can provide an indication of the productivity of the site quality based on Japanese red cedar trees plantation ages planted in southern regions of Korea.

Objective: The aims of this study were 1) to develop easy-to-use rhythmic balance training equipment for the elderly and 2) to investigate the effect of training with the equipment on balance and physical function. Method: Twenty-one elderly individuals (age: $75.4{\pm}3.34yrs$, height: $152.07{\pm}4.81cm$, weight: $58.35{\pm}8.34kg$) participated in this study. Each participant underwent balance and physical function testing before and after 12 weeks of training with the equipment. Y-balance (i.e. dynamic balance) and one leg static balance tests were used for balance testing, and timed up- and-down-stairs and five times sit-to-stand tests were used for physical function testing. A paired t test was used to determine whether there was a significant pre- and post-training difference. Results: The rhythmic balance training equipment provided a fun and motivating training program with age-friendly music, dance movements for lower extremity strength training, and touch screen controls with simple features. Post-training left foot dynamic balance was significantly greater (p<.05), and static balance with eyes open was significantly improved (p<.05) compared to pre-training. Completion of the timed up-and-down-stairs and the five times sit-to-stand tests was significantly shorter (p<.05) compared to pre-training. Conclusion: Training using the equipment developed in this study improved balance and physical function in elderly participants.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the 8.5seconds cut-off of the 8-foot up-and-go test as a predictor of falling and a good discriminator of fallers and non-fallers in women in their 60s to 80s. METHODS: The final subjects of this study were 98 elderly women from six senior centers of B metropolitan city. The 8-foot up-and-go test evaluated agility and dynamic balance. The chair-stand test measured the muscle strength for of the lower body. Ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were measured to assess the ankle mobility of the subjects in this study. RESULTS: The below 8.5seconds group showed significantly low values in age and high values in chair-stand (times/30 s), plantar flexion ($^{\circ}$), and K-MMSE (score) compared to the over 8.5seconds group. This group was significantly faster compared to the over 8.5seconds group. In the below 8.5seconds group, only plantar flexion ($^{\circ}$) of all the items showed significantly higher values among those in their 60s compared to those in their 70s and 80s. CONCLUSION: The 8.5seconds cut-off on the 8-foot up-and-go test as a good discriminator and predictor of falling showed differences among fall risk factors (age, lower extremity strength, cognition, and ankle mobility) in women in their 60s to 80s without having regular exercise and a fall experience over the past ones year.

본 연구에서는 미국 뉴햄프셔주 13개 임분의 낙엽활엽수림에서 5년간(1994~1996, 2003~2004) 낙엽량 측정을 위한 최소 필요 표본수를 알아보았다. 임분별 최소 필요 표본수는 오차범위 10%에서는 현재의 15개 트랩수와 비슷했으나, 1994년과 1995년은 타 년도에 비해 약 2배인 30개의 트랩수가 필요하였다. 오차범위 20%에서는 5년간 13개 모든 임분에서 필요한 트랩수는 10개미만으로 나타났다. 임분별로 최소 필요 표본수는 차이가 있었는데 특히 경사가 급하고 해발고도가 높은 임분에서 더 많은 트랩이 설치되어야 하며, 임분 연령이나 낙엽량과는 관계가 없음이 나타났다. 결론적으로 낙엽량 측정을 위한 최소 필요 표본수를 산정할 경우, 본 연구에서와 같이 다년간의 샘플링이 필요하며, 임분의 지형적 특성 역시 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다.
