Eutrophication of surface waters is commonly caused by excessive inputs of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Nakdong River basin was chosen as the study area to investigate the effect of point and non-point source pollution of nitrogen on eutrophication in water body. Non-point source inputs of nitrogen accounted for approximately 84% in the total nitrogen input of the upper Nakdong river watershed, which mainly consists of agricultural land and forests. However, point source inputs of nitrogen accounted for 58~85% in the total nitrogen input of the middle and lower watersheds, including urban area. Therefore, for watershed near urban area, control of point source inputs of nitrogen may be an optimal method to control eutrophication. In this respect, the enforcing reduction of nitrogen in the final effluent of wastewater treatment facilities is needed. On the other hand, to enact more stringent nitrogen regulations, the LOT (limit of technology) and environmental impact should be considered. In this study nitrogen data were analyzed to propose new nitrogen regulations.

A field study was conducted during the summer time of 2002 to determine compositions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from vehicles and to develop source emission profiles that is applied to CMB model to estimate the source contribution of certain area. Source emission profile is widely used for the estimation of source contribution by the chemical mass balance model and have to be developed applicable for the target area of estimation. This study was aimed to develop source emission profile and estimation of source contribution of VOCs after application of the chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor model. After considering the emission inventory and other research results for the VOCs in Seoul, Korea, the sources like vehicle emission (tunnel), gas station (gasoline, diesel), solvent usage (painting operation, dry cleaning, graphic art), and gas fuels were selected for the major VOCs sources. Furthermore, ambient air samples were simultaneously collected from 09:00 to 11:00 for four days at eight different official air quality monitoring sites as receptors in Seoul during summer of 2001. Source samples were collected by canisters, and then about seventy volatile organic compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC/FID). Based on both the developed source profiles and the database of the receptors, CMB model was intensively applied to estimate mass contribution of VOCs sources. Examining the source profile from the vehicle, the portion of alkanes of VOCs was highest, and then the portion of aromatics such toluene, m/p-xylene were followed. In case of gas fuel. they have their own components; the content of butane, propane, ethane was higher than any other component according to the fuel usage. The average of the source apportionment on VOCs for 8 sites showed that the major sources were vehicle emission and gas fuels. The vehicle emission source was revealed as having the highest contribution with an average of 49.6%, and followed by solvent with 21.3%, gas fuel with 16.1%, gasoline with 13.1%.

Soil loss is widely recognized as a threat to farm livelihoods and ecosystem integrity worldwide. Soil loss prediction models can help address long-range land management planning under natural and agricultural conditions. Even though it is hard to find a model that considers all forms of erosion, some models were developed specifically to aid conservation planners in identifying areas where introducing soil conservation measures will have the most impact on reducing soil loss. Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) computes the average annual erosion expected on hillslopes by multiplying several factors together: rainfall erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), cover management (C), and support practice (P). The value of these factors is determined from field and laboratory experiments. This study calculated soil erosion using GIS-based RUSLE model in Imha basin and examined soil erosion source area using SPOT 5 high-resolution satellite image and land cover map. As a result of analysis, dry field showed high-density soil erosion area and we could easily investigate source area using satellite image. Also we could examine the suitability of soil erosion area applying field survey method in common areas (dry field & orchard area) that are difficult to confirm soil erosion source area using satellite image.

강우에 따른 토사유실은 호소내 저수용량 감소 및 탁수 등의 수질오염을 유발하기 때문에 유역관리 측면에서 중요한 인자가 된다. 최근 GIS를 활용한 토사유실평가 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 토사유실 원인지역에 대한 검토는 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GIS 기반 토사유실모델을 활용하여 임하호 유역의 토사유실량을 산정하였으며, SPOT 5 고해상도 위성영상과 토지피복도 자료를 활용하여 토사유실원인지역을 검토하였다. 분석결과 토사유실이 높게 나타나는 지역의 대부분이 밭으로 확인되었으며 그 위치를 영상에서 효과적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 위성영상에서 경계를 확인하기 곤란했던 밭과 과수원이 공통으로 나타나는 지역은 현장확인을 통해 그 적정성을 검토할 수 있었다.

Euiseong sub-basin, one of three sub-basins in Kyungsang basin, consists of various sedimentary and igneous rocks of Cretaceous age. Kusandong tuff and Yucheon volcanic rocks from the sub-basin were collected for the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) study. Maximum directions of the AMS for Kusandong tuff and Yucheon volcanic rocks are used to detect possible source areas. Although the dispersion of the maximum directions of the AMS, mainly due to low susceptibility and/or low percent anisotropy of individual specimens, is rather large, it is possible to reveal several source areas for the volcanic rocks. Areas near the Keumseongsan and Hwasan, calderas in the study area, are identified as source areas for Yucheon volcanic rocks, while the western part of Sunamsan, another collapsed caldera in Euiseong sub-basin, is inferred to be the source area for Kusandong tuff. However, it is not possible to determine detailed source areas for groups of Yucheon volcanic rocks of different lithologies, because of poor degree of convergence of the maximum directions of the AMS results from the volcanic rocks. It is also concluded that several episodic volcanic activities centered at Keumseongsan and Hwasan calderas were responsible for the formation of Yucheon volcanic rocks in Euseong area.

In this study, the AERMOD dispersion model was used for predicting odor concentrations and back-calculating industrial area source odor emission rate. The studied area was Sihwa industrial complex in Korea. Odor samples were collected during two days over a year period in 2009. The comparison between the predicted and observed concentrations indicates that the AERMOD model could fairly well predict average downwind odor concentrations. The results show odor emission rates of Sihwa industrial complex area source were ranged from 0.204 to 2.320 $OUms^{-1}$ (average 0.476 $OUms^{-1}$). The results also show wind speed and direction are important parameters to the odor dispersion.

This paper proposes a feasible and effective method for measuring the mechanical-acoustic transfer function by the application of equivalent area and velocity transfer function, a manifestation of the vibro-acoustical reciprocity principle. On the contrary to the volume velocity used in traditional method, the equivalent area is a peculiar raidation characteristics of sound sources and not influenced by any input signal for driving sound source. This invariant property of equivalent area can get rid of boresome works to measure the volume velocity of a sound source every time the driving signal is changed. Moreover, this method has a remarkable advantage to use a general loudspeaker as an accoustic exciter without the assumption of point source and can be applied to all kinds of sound sources even if they are not omni-directional sources.

비점오염원은 유역 및 지역의 토지이용 형태별로 강우유출수의 유출특성이 다양하고, 강우시 지표면의 각종 오염물질들이 도시하천으로 유입되어 수질에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역을 주택 및 공단구역으로 구분하여 강우유출수의 유출특성을 파악하고자 오염물질별 EMC를 산정하였다. 분석 결과 강우시 주택 및 공단지역의 비점오염원은 강우초기에 유출수의 농도가 급격히 증가한 후 서서히 감소하는 초기세척현상이 발생하였으며, 초기우수의 제어가 필요하였다. 향후 장기적인 강우사상 및 수질조사 자료의 축척, GIS를 이용한 토지이용형태, 지형 및 지질특성의 자료 축척 등 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In Juam basin, the ratio of non-point pollution source among pollutant loading of basin was significantly high, since the utilization level of land was high. In addition, the most pollutants were not treated and flowed out. In this study, the correlation between non-point source pollutants from the forest area and increasing algae was investigated. 1. Chl-a concentration flowed out to runoff from forest area and stream water was low as $0.1{\sim}20.3{\mu}g/{\ell}$ and $0.1{\sim}9.3{\mu}g/{\ell}$, respectively, and chl-a concentration ($0.1{\sim}28.5{\mu}g/{\ell}$) of branch stream was higher $5{\sim}7$ times than that of runoff from forest area. 2. In correlation between runoff from forest area and Juam lake water, annual chl-a concentration of area front Juam dam was higher twice than forest area. 3. In runoff from forest area within Juam basin, flagellate, green, diatom and blue algae occupied $33.0{\sim}41.7%$, $22.2{\sim}30.8%$, $17.3{\sim}22.5%$ and $13.7{\sim}17.6%$, respectively. 4. In runoff from forest area, both green and diatom algae were maintained constantly irrespectively of season, and flagellate algae dominated since August. 5. In characteristics by forest tree types, four types algae were inhabited in mixed forest, and flagellate algae were higher in conifer and broadleaf forest than in other area. And green algae in herbaceous forest were higher than other area.

In order to generate a clock source with low cost and high performance in system on chip(SoC), a relaxation oscillator with stable output characteristics according to PVT(process, voltage and temperature) fluctuation require a low area and a low power. In this paper, we propose a solution to reduce the current loss caused by parasitic components in the conventional relaxation oscillator. Since the slew rate of the bias current and the capacitor are adjusted to be the same through the proposed solution, a relaxation oscillator with low area characteristics is designed for the same clock source frequency implementation. The proposed circuit is designed using the TSMC CMOS 0.18um process. The Simulation results show that the relaxation oscillator using the proposed solution can prevent the current loss of about $279{\mu}A$ and reduce the total chip area by 20.8% compared with the conventional oscillator in the clock source frequency of 96 MHz.
