In an attempt to develop a method for rapid and accurate identification of six Vibrio species that are clinically important and most frequently detected in Korea, 16S rDNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of Vibrio type strains, as well as environmental isolates obtained from the Korean coastal area, was analyzed using ten restriction endonucleases. Digestion of the 16S rDNA fragments amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the enzymes gave rise to 2~6 restriction patterns for each digestion for 47 Vibrio strains and isolates. An additional 2~3 restriction patterns were observed for five reference species, including Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, A. salmonicida, Photobacterium phosphoreum, and Plesiomonas shigelloides. A genetic distance tree based on RFLP of the bacterial species correlated well with that based on 16S rDNA sequences. The very small 16S rDNA sequence difference (0.1%) between V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus was resolved clearly by RFLP with a genetic distance of more than 2%. RFLP variation within a species was also detected in the cases of V. parahaemolyticus, V. proteolyticus, and V. vulnificus. According to the RFLP analysis, six Vibrio and five reference species were assigned to 12 genotypes. Using three restriction endonucleases to analyze RFLP proved sufficient to identify the six pathogenic Vibrio species.

An investigation has been carried for the thermal characteristics of the seasonal storage installation in Cheju. It features the solar collector area of $340m^2$ and the storage capacity of $600m^3$. Four different types of solar collector systems are compared for their performance of collecting solar energy throughout the year. Of these, two are made of tubular shaped vacuum collectors and the others are flat plate collectors. Results indicate that each system could play an important role in exploiting solar energy depending on the temperature range in its operation. Especially, the vacuum collectors outperformed the others when the inlet temperatures of the collector loop were raised beyond $40m^2$. This became more conspicuous as the return temperatures from the storage tank rose reflecting the seasonal variation. Due to the large heat capacity of the storage tank, temperature changes were rather small compared to those in the collecting loop regardless of seasonal fluctuations.

We examined potential seasonal prediction of the Korean surface temperature using the relationships between the Arctic Sea Ice Area (SIA) in autumn and the temperature in the following July and February at 850 hPa in East Asia (EA). The Surface Air Temperature (SAT) over Korea shows a similar relationship to that for EA. Since 2007, reduction of autumn SIA has been followed by warming in Korea in July. The regional distribution shows strong correlations in the southern and eastern coastal areas of Korea. The correlations in the sea surface temperature shows the maximum values in July around the Korean Peninsula, consistent with the coastal regions in which the maximum correlations in the Korean SAT are seen. In February, the response of the SAT to the SIA is the opposite of that for the July temperature. The autumn sea ice reduction is followed by cooling over Korea in February, although the magnitude is small. Cooling in the Korean Peninsula in February may be related to planetary wave-like features. Examining the autumn Arctic sea ice variation would be helpful for seasonal prediction of the Korean surface temperature, mostly in July and somewhat in February. Particularly in July, the regression line would be useful as supplementary information for seasonal temperature prediction.

When evaluating energy balance and temperature in reduced-scale fire experiments, which are conducted as an alternative to full-scale fire experiments, it is important to consider the similarity in the scale among these experiments. In this paper, a method considering the similarity of energy balance is proposed for setting the conditions for reduced-scale experiments of mechanically ventilated compartment fires. A small-scale fire experiment consisting of various cases with different compartment geometries (aspect ratios between 0.2 and 4.7) and heights of vents and fire sources was conducted under mechanical ventilation, and the energy balance in the quasi-steady state was evaluated. The results indicate the following: (1) although the compartment geometry varies the energy balance in a mechanically ventilated compartment, the variation in the energy balance can be evaluated irrespective of the compartment size and geometry by considering scaling factor F (∝h_effA_wR_T, where h_eff is the effective heat transfer coefficient, A_w is the total wall area, and R_T is the ratio of the spatial mean gas temperature to the exhaust temperature); (2) the value of R_T, which is a part of F, reflects the effects of the compartment geometry and corresponds to the distributions of the gas temperature and wall heat loss.

A CIA analysis (A-CN-K and A-CNK-FM ternary diagram) indicates that, unlike the general granitic hills of the Korean Peninsula, the chemical weathering of the granitic grus (sandy regolith) in the eastern Jincheon basin is variable in geomorphic site except the Chuncheon basin. In the study area, there are three types of hills, such as; inner hills, linear isolated hills, and outer hills. The weathered mantles of the outer hills and linear isolated hills are weakly altered, whereas the inner hill, the Bonghyeon profile, shows a stronger chemical loss of the compositions approximating saprolite. There are small differences between the outer hills and linear isolated hills. The Geumwang site is considered fresh rock due to a low lever of alteration, although its sampling profile shows sandy weathering mantles. In the profiles of the Masan and Mugeuks sites, the lower part of weathering mantles has not experienced a significant level of component loss, but the upper regoliths have substantially been modified. The alteration of the hills occurs by chemical loss of CaO and Na₂O. K₂O exhibited little variation at all sampling suites and it has not changed into saprolite.

동남 스카른 광상은 백악기에 고생대 퇴적암류를 관입한 섬록암에 의해 형성되었다. 스카른의 모암은 섬록암과 묘봉 슬레이트인데 스카른 누대구조에서 모암의 종류에 따라 각각 특징적인 광물공생군의 체계적 변화를 관찰할 수 있다. 섬록암, 화강반암, 석영반암으로 구성된 화성암류들은 플룸보텍토닉 모델의 조산대에 비해 높은$^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ 비를 보이는데 이러한 현상은 하부지각 (또는 맨틀)에서 유래된 마그마가 상부지각물질에 의해 심히 혼화되어진 것으로 해석되며 이는 영남육괴와 옥천계에 분포하는 화강암류가 보여주는 특징과 유사하다. 현재의 납 동위원소 비와 우라늄, 토륨, 납 농도로부터 구한 광화작용 당시(76 Ma)의 황성암 및 풍촌석회암의 납 동위원소 비는 비교적 일정하지만 광화작용 후기로 갈수록 광석광물들의 납 동위원소 비가 높아진다. 초생 스카른 시기에 형성된 자철석과 방연석의 납 동위원소 비는 화성암류의 것과 거의 유사하지만 후기 열수변질시기에 형성된 휘수연석, 황철석, 그리고 열수변질된 석영반암의 납 동위원소 비는 풍촌석회암의 비에 접근하고 있다. 이는 서로 다른 기원을 가진 납들이 열수 변질시기에 따라 그 혼화의 정도가 달라지게되어 광석광물들의 납 동위원소 비에 차이가 있게 된 것으로 여겨진다. 광석광물의 납 동위원소 비의 변화특징에 의하여 섬록암과 화강반암을 형성한 마그마로부터 분화된 낮은 납 동위원소 비를 갖는 열수용액과 높은 납 동위원소 비를 갖는 주변모암(풍촌석회암)이 혼화의 기원물질로 판단된다.

용화광산의 광미와 침출수에 대한 분석을 실시하여 광미로부터 부과될 수 있는 성분을 예측하고, 침출수가 주변하천으로 유입될 때 오염물질의 거리에 따른 변화를 측정하였다. 하천수의 거리에 따른 변화는 갱내수와 침출수가 유출되는 지점에는 대체로 높게 나타나고 하류로 갈수록 이온의 농도는 급격히 낮아진다. 이는 침출수에 비해 훨씬 유량이 많은 비오염하천수에 의한 희석효과 때문이다. 광미는 붉은색과 노란색으로 구분되며 붉은색 광미의 주 구성광물은 석영, 일라이트, 플럼보자로사이트와 약간의 섬아연석이며 노란색 광미는 백운모, 석영, 플럼보자로사이트(Plumbojarosite) 그리고 소량의 황동석(Chalcopyrite)과 섬아연석(Sphalerite)을 포함하고 있다. 침출수에서 높은 값을 나타내는 Pb, Zn 등은 광미에 포함된 플럼보자로사이트와 섬아연석의 용해작용에 의한 것으로 하천수의 오염에 주 원인으로 작용하고 있다.

Weber Local Descriptor (WLD) is a stable and effective feature extraction algorithm, which is based on Weber's Law. It calculates the differential excitation information and direction information, and then integrates them to get the feature information of the image. However, WLD only considers the center pixel and its contrast with its surrounding pixels when calculating the differential excitation information. As a result, the illumination variation is relatively sensitive, and the selection of the neighbor area is rather small. This may make the whole information is divided into small pieces, thus, it is difficult to be recognized. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes Weber Symmetrical Local Graph Structure (WSLGS), which constructs the graph structure based on the $5{\times}5$ neighborhood. Then the information obtained is regarded as the differential excitation information. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method on the database of ORL, JAFFE and our own built database, high-definition infrared faces. The experimental results show that WSLGS provides higher recognition rate and shorter image processing time compared with traditional algorithms.

Gravity, magnetic and VLF surveys were conducted to investigat the structural stability and hazards associated with the Ubong landfill in Pohang City, which has been built to dump industrial wastes. In 1994, the collapse of a bank happened in the 6th landfill site due to sudden heavy rain, and a large quantity of waste materials flowed out to the nearby landfill sites, factories and roads. We used $10{\times}10m$ resolution DEM data for gravity reductions. The maximum variation of the terrain effect in the survey area is about 0.5 mgal and the terrain effect is large in the vicinity of bank boundary. The Bouguer gravity anomaly map shows the effect due to the variatino of thickness and type of waste materials. The small negative gravity anomaly increases from the 9th site to the 6th site. The small negative gravity anomaly of the 9th site reflects the relatively shallow dumping depth of average 14.5 m in this site and increased density of waste materials by the repeated stabilization process of soil overlaying. The 6th site is located at the center of the former valley and rainfall and groundwater are expected to flow from south-east to north-west. Therefore, considering the previous accident of mixing waste and bank materials at the north-west boundary of the landfill, there may be some environmental problems of leakage of contaminated water and bank stability. The complex inversion technique using Simulated annealing and Marquardt-Levenberg methods was applied to calculate three-dimensional density distribution from gravity data. In the case of 6th site, it is apparent that the landfill had been dumped in four sectors. However, most part of the 9th site and showed that high magnetic industrial wastes were concentrated in the 6th site. The result of magnetic survey showing low magnetic anomalies along the boundaries of two sites is similar to that of gravity data. The VLF data also reveals four divided sectors in the 6th site, and overall anomaly trend indicates the directio of former valley.
