본 연구는 통영연안의 오염 현황을 파악하기 위하여 표층퇴적물의 유기물 분포 특성, 미량금속의 공간적인 분포 특성과 오염도 및 생태계 위해성평가를 하였다. 총질소(Total nitrogen, TN), 총유기탄소(Total organic carbon, TOC)와 산 휘발성 황화물(Acid volatile sulfide, AVS)은 협수로에 위치한 정점 35-38에서 높은 농도를 나타내었다. Cd, Cr, Ni, Co, Hg, Zn의 공간적 분포양상은 유사하였으며, 이와 달리 Cu는 협수로에서 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 미량금속 원소의 오염도를 농축계수(Enrichment Factor, EF)로 평가한 결과, Cd이 모든 정점에서 오염되지 않은 상태(No enrichment), Pb, Cr, Ni, Co, Zn, Hg이 약간 오염상태(Minor enrichment), Cu가 약간~중간 오염상태(minor-moderate enrichment)의 오염도를 나타냈다. 미량금속에 의한 생태위해성 수준은 오비도와 미륵도 사이의 협수로 정점에서 국지적으로 생태계에 잠재적 위해성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The effects of addition of non degradable polymers, polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on the rate of enzymatic degradation of biodegradable poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) have been studied in term of surface structure. Since a component in multicomponent polymeric system has shown surface enrichment, PS and PMMA which have lower surface energy than PLLA were selected as a minor blend component (5 wt%). Enzymatic degradation was carried out at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.5 in the aqueous solution of Proteinase K. Two blend systems, partially miscible (PS/PLLA) and immiscible (PMMA/PLLA), showed the surface enrichment of 4 and 2 times of PS and PMMA, respectively. From the weight loss profile data, the slow degradation rate of both blend films was observed. This indicates that PS or PMMA domains which exist at surface act as a retardant of enzymatic attack.

The study was carried out to examine the distribution and survival rate of Listeria monocytogenes (L monocytogenes) from various source of waters using improved isolation method. In comparision of enrichment media for isolation of L monocytogenes from water, the isolation rate and 50% detection limit of the pathogen were higher in UVM modified Listeria enrichment broth (UVM) than Listeria enrichment broth (LEB). On the other hand, when compared the selective media for isolation of the pathogen from water, the isolation rate was highest in culture at Oxford agar followed by Fraser agar, and LEB agar. In order to improve enrichment method, 100 ml of water samples with 0.1 CFU/ml of L monocytogenes was inoculated into 10 ml of UVM concentrated at 10-fold, and incubated for 24 h at $36^{\circ}C$. Isolated frequency of the pathogens in improved enrichment method completely corresponded with common (filter) method. Of a total mumber of 147 water samples from river, lake and sea, the pathogen was isolated from 1 of 39 (2.6%) river water samples and 1 of 75 (1.3%) sea water samples, but no pathogen was isolated from 33 lake water samples. Serotypes of 2 isolates were identified as type 1. L monocytogenes decreased in number from 7.2-7.4 to 4.2-4.7 log CFU/ml for 1 week poststorage (5 and $20^{\circ}C$), but the pathogens were able to be detected in river and sea water until 8 weeks after storage. However, in tap water, L monocytogenes were decreased to undetectable level after 2 weeks of storage.

Organic enrichment was investigated in surface sediments from the Yeoja and Gangjin Bays of Korea, which contain dense shellfish farms, in order to evaluate the contamination status and temporal changes in shellfish farming along these coasts. The degree of organic enrichment was determined using geochemical indicators (chemical oxygen demand, ignition loss, acid volatile sulfide, total organic carbon in sediments, and total nitrogen in sediments, ammonium and nitrate in pore water, and bioluminescence inhabitation for sediments). Temporal changes in organic enrichment conditions were detected by comparing our 2012 data to those previously reported from a survey conducted in 1999/2000. Organic enrichment was significantly higher in September than in May and July, in Gangjin Bay than in Yeoja Bay, and significantly higher in shellfish farms than in reference sites not used to culture shellfish. Ammonium concentrations in pore water were two orders of magnitude greater than nitrate concentrations, suggesting that these bays represent nitrogen-reducing environments.

Objective: This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of grain-based pecking blocks on productivity and welfare status at two commercial broiler welfare-certified farms. Methods: Production and welfare indicators were assessed at two farms (designated Farm A and B). Both farms had two windowless houses with forced tunnel-type ventilation and housed broilers at stocking densities of approximately 16.7 birds/m² (Farm A) and 16.8 birds/m² (Farm B). Each house was divided into two or three equal sections and was provided with or without pecking blocks. Grain-based pecking blocks, measuring 25 × 25 × 25 cm, were given to broilers in both farms at 1 block per 1,000 birds. Various parameters including productivity (body weight and flock uniformity), corticosterone levels (in fecal droppings and feathers), footpad dermatitis, hock burn, feather dirtiness, gait score, litter quality, body surface temperature, and volatile fatty acids in fecal samples were assessed at 26 days of age, whereas litter quality was analyzed at 13 and 26 days of age. Results: There were no significant effects of providing pecking blocks on productivity (body weight and uniformity), fecal and feather corticosterone, welfare indicators (i.e., footpad dermatitis, hock burn, feather cleanliness, and gait score), and litter quality (i.e., moisture, nitrogen, and pH). No differences in body surface temperature between the control and enrichment treatments were noted in Farm B, but body surface temperatures of the head (p = 0.029) and legs (p = 0.011) in the enrichment vs. control group were elevated in Farm A. Butyrate concentration in the enrichment vs control group was higher in Farm B (p = 0.023), but this effect was not detected in Farm A. Conclusion: It is concluded that grain-based pecking blocks did not affect performance and welfare indicators. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the potential impact of grain-based pecking blocks on gut health indicators.

We investigated the depth profiles of heavy metals in the surface sediments at Heedong reservoir in Pusan. Sampling was done at the intervals of 50 m of drift along the water channel into the reservoir. All samples were analyzed with an ICP-AES. We determined the content of Zn, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu, Cr, and Fe. The overall mean content of these heavy metals were observed to $(2.9\pm1.2){\times}10^{-3},\;(1.3\pm0.7){\times}10^{-3},$ $(1.9\pm2.1){\times}10^{-4},$ $(2.3\pm1.1){\times}10^{-2},\;(1.6\pm1.0){\times}10^{-3},\;and\;(4.5\pm2.6){\times}10^{-4}$ ppm/ppmFe, respectively excluding iron data. Mean contents of Cu show an increasing trend toward the surface of sediments, while those of Cd show a decreasing trend, and those of Pb and Cr are relatively stable. Comparing with the contents of heavy metals in soils at two sites of Kumjeong mountain, enrichment factors of heavy metals in the surface sediments were determined. Among heavy metals we investigated, copper showed the largest value of enrichment factor. Considering the maximum content of heavy metals in the surface sediment, the values of enrichment factors of Cu, Cd and Cr were significant, which were 22, 8.1 and 4.0, respectively. In leaching experiment, it appeared that Pb, Cd, Cr, and Fe in sediments were hardly leached out into water, We also examined the effect of pH on the content of heavy metals.

Mean contents of Cu show an increasing trend toward the surface of sediments, while those of U show a decreasing trend, and those of Pb and Cr are relatively stable. Comparing with the contents of heavy metals in soils at two sites of Kumjeong mountain, enrichment factors of heavy metals in the surface sediments were determined. Among heavy metals we investigated, copper showed the largest value of enrichment factor. Considering the maximum content of heavy metals in the surface sediment, the values of enrichment factors of Cu, Cd and Cr were significant which were n, 8.1 and 4.0, respectively. In leaching experiment, it appeared that Pb, Cd, Cr, and Fe in sediments were hardly leached out into water. We also examined the effect of pH on the content of heavy metals.

기포분리 조작에 영향을 미치는 제요소를 조사하기 위하여 bovine serum albumin과 ovalbumin의 표면과잉을 형성하는 농도범위를 결정하고, BSA용액의 기포분리에서 pH, 온도, 가스유입속도, 염농도 등이 미치는 영향에 대하여 관찰하였다. BSA의 임계마이셀농도인 0.03%에서 용액의 pH가 등전점 4.9부근일때 농축율은 최소치를 나타내나 기포분리액의 부피가 최대가 되어 회수율은 최대치를 가지게 된다. 등전점에서 벗어날수록 기포분리액의 양은 감소하나 농축율은 증가하였다. 기포분리온도가 $20^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 상승하면 농축율은 증가하나 분리액의 양은 급격히 감소하여 회수율이 감소하였다. 가스 유입속도가 커질수록 농축율은 감소하고 분리액의 양은 증가하엿다. $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 첨가에 따라 농축율은 감소하나 분리액의 양은 이온강도 7에서 최대치를 나타내었다. 소수성이 작은 ovalbumin은 표면과잉을 형성하는 농도범위가 BSA에 비하여 200배 이상 높게 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 단백질의 소수성에 따른 기포분리 농축이 가능함을 시사하고 있다.

통가열도 내 우리나라 해저열수광상 독점 탐사지역에 위치하는 5개 해저화산(TA12, TA19, TA22, TA25, TA26) 주변 표층 퇴적물의 열수변질 여부를 규명하고, 열수변질 특성을 확인하기 위하여 각 해저화산에서 채취된 29개의 표층 퇴적물에 대해 미량 원소와 희토류 원소 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 TA12, TA19, TA22 해저화산에서는 열수에 의한 퇴적물의 변질작용이 없거나 매우 적은 것으로 나타났으며, TA25와 TA26 해저화산의 일부 지역은 현재에도 열수의 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 열수의 영향이 있는 해저화산 사이에도 부화된 미량 원소의 종류에 차이가 있는데, TA25 해저화산의 경우 주로 Ni, Cu, Sn, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd, Sb, W, Ba, Ta, Rb, Sr, As가, TA26 해저화산에서는 주로 Cu, Sn, Zn, Pb, Cd, Sb, Ba, Rb, Sr이 부화되어 있다. 미량 원소의 부화가 확인된 지역은 희토류 원소의 부화도 관찰된다. 상부지각 희토류 원소 농도로 표준화된 희토류 원소의 분포형태는 가벼운 희토류 원소(LREE)가 매우 낮고 중간 희토류 원소(MREE)에서 무거운 희토류 원소(HREE)로 갈수록 증가하는 형태를 보이며, TA25와 TA26 해저화산의 일부 정점에서 Eu의 부화가 확인된다. 또한 TA26 해저화산의 일부 정점에서 Ce이 부화가 관찰되었는데, 이는 주변지역에서 채취된 열수 내 희토류 원소의 높은 Ce분포형태와 매우 유사하다. 또한 TA25와 TA26 해저화산은 부화된 원소의 특징이 다르게 나타나는데, TA25 해저화산에서는 Cu를 포함한 미량 원소가, TA26 해저화산에서는 Ce와 Eu를 포함한 희토류 원소가 우세하게 부화되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 조사결과 나타난 각 해저화산 표층 퇴적물 내 부화된 미량 원소 및 희토류 원소의 종류와 농도는 차후 통가열도 지역의 열수광상 탐사시에 지역적인 열수변질의 지시자로써 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
