  • 복족류 패각화석층이 반복적으로 발달되어 있는 하동군 대송리 지역의 하산동층을 대상으로, 이 지역 퇴적층의 퇴적상 및 퇴적환경을 해석하고, 수반되어 있는 패각화석층의 화석화과정 발달특성을 토대로 이 지역 하산동층 퇴적 당시의 고환경을 해석하였으며, 이 결과를 바탕으로 연구지역 퇴적층의 암층서적 의미와 지질유산으로의 가치를 고찰하였다. 연구지역에 발달된 하산동층의 퇴적층은 붉은색층을 협재하지 않고 층의 횡적인 연장성이 양호한 회색질 우세의 퇴적층으로서 대규모 범람에 의해 충적평원 내에 얕은 호수가 형성되고 이후 소멸해 가는 과정을 통해 형성된 호수 주변의 사질평원 내지 이질평원에서 천호저에 이르는 환경의 퇴적층으로 해석된다. Brotiopsis wakinoensis 단일 종만이 집중되어 나타나는 특성을 보이는 연구지역의 패각 화석층은 Brotiopsis 속의 배타적 서식특성에 기인한 것으로 여겨지며, 패각화석층의 산출특성을 기준으로 3가지 유형으로 분류된다. 이 중 유형 1과 2는 이들이 서식하던 천호저 환경에서 사후에 층상범람 및 호수의 범람에 의해 이질평원 내지 사질평원으로 재동되어 화석화된 것이며, 유형 3은 충적평원상에 발달한 얕은 호수가 비교적 안정화된 시기에 호저에 집단으로 서식하던 복족류들이 죽은 후 서식하던 장소에 대부분 퇴적되어 형성된 것으로 해석된다. 하산동층의 충적평원층 내에 이와 같은 특성의 호수퇴적층이 수십 m 두께의 규모로 발달된 기록은 경상누층군 내에서 일어난 하산동층(하성평원)-진주층(호수)-칠곡층(충적평원) 간의 퇴적환경 변화의 축소판이라 볼 수 있으며, 이러한 특성의 퇴적층이 유사한 층준에 걸쳐 여러 지역에 발달되어 있음은 암층서에 의한 하산동층의 층서대비에 추가적인 설정이 필요함을 제시해 준다. 이와 함께 연구지역 하산동층의 복족류 패각화석층은 우리나라 백악기 초기의 고환경을 이해하는 데에 귀중한 자연사기록으로서, 향후 국내 백악기 연체동물 화석층의 지질유산으로서의 가치분석에 유용한 바탕자료가 될 수 있다.

  • 수처리 후 직접 해양으로 배출하는 산업시설 등에서 Hazardous and Noxious Substance (HNS) 농도 변화를 연속 자동 측정하기 위한 센서의 기본적 성능으로 상온에서도 ppb 수준의 검출이 가능한 센서가 필요하다고 판단하여 기존의 센서의 감도를 높이기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 우선 나노입자 박막에 전도성 탄소계 첨가물을 이용하여 필름의 전도도를 높이는 방법과 촉매 금속을 이용하여 표면에서의 이온 흡착도를 높이는 방법에 대해서 각각 연구하였다. 전도성 개선을 위해서 ITO 나노입자를 활용한 필름에 carbon black을 첨가물로 선택하여, 첨가물 함유량에 따른 센서의 성능변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 CB 함량 5 wt% 정도에서 전도성 증가에 의한 저항과 응답시간의 변화를 관찰할 수 있었고, 유기용제를 대상으로 한 실험에서 검출하한은 250 ppb 정도까지 낮아지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 액체 중 이온 흡착도를 높이기 위하여 센서 표면에 촉매로 Au를 스퍼터로 제작한 표면 촉매층을 형성한 시료를 이용한 실험에서 센서의 응답은 20% 이상 증가하고 평균 검출하한은 61 ppm까지 낮아지는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과로부터 금속산화물 나노입자를 활용한 화학저항형 센서가 상온에서도 수십 ppb 정도의 HNS를 검출할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

  • Khori(高麗) refers to the Chaabog(reindeer) that live on lichens(蘚) on Mt. Soyon(鮮) in which pastures are the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia. Thus, the origin region of the Khori or Koguryo that are the ancestors of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads(馴鹿 遊牧民) can be said to be the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas of North Eurasia and North America. When the pastoral nomads moved on to the great mountain(大山) zone of the Jangbaek(長白) to the Baekdu(白頭) Mountains, they could have been in contact with pastoral farmers or agricultural farmers living there and they became the farmers remaining on agricultural farms. They were the Koryo people, the ancestors of Korea. Staying in one place, they gradually forgot the origin of their reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic history in the Northwest area of Mt. Soyon, the small mountain(小山) zone of the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas. In other words, they lost their identity as reindeer-herding pastoral nomads when they entered the agricultural area after leaving the pastoral area. However, since their basic genes had already formed when they lived on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia, it is possible to study their pastoral nomadic history focusing on 'the minority living in the broad area(廣域少數)', by utilizing highly advanced biotechnological science and focusing on genes and information technology innovation, and removing various past hindrances in research. Therefore, it is not so difficult to restore the reindeerherding pastoral nomadic history of the Koguryo(高句麗) people and secure their pastoral nomadic identity, of which the first steps have already been taken into their historical stages. The Eurasian continent and the Korean peninsula, especially the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the Korean peninsula have been closely related to each other ecologically and historically. They can never be a separate space at all. The Eurasian continent lies horizontally east to west and thus, the continent forms an isothermal zone. Also, since the time of producing their own foods, it was relatively easy for people with their technology to move to other places owing to the pastoral nomadic characteristic of mobility. Unlike the Chungyen(中原) region, western Asia and the regions covering the Siberia-Manchu-Korean peninsula where food production revolution was first made were connected to the Mongolian lichens route(蘚苔之路: Ni, ukinii jam) and steppe roads. Although the ecological conditions of nature have changed a bit throughout a long history, it was natural for the many tribes in North Asia living on the largest Steppe-Taiga-Tundra area in the world to have believed 'the legends related to animals in relation to their founders and ancestors(獸祖傳說)'. Assuming that Siberian tigers and the tigers living on Mt. Baekdu were connected ecologically and genetically because of the ecological characteristics of the animals, and their migration from plateau to plateau, we would suspect that the Chosun(朝鮮) tribe living on Mt. Baekdu were ethnically and culturally more closely connected to the farther removed Ural-Altai tribes that lived on the cold and dry plateau region than to the Han(i14;) tribe who lived in Chungyen(中原) that was close to Mt. Baekdu. More evidence is the structure of the Korean language which has the form of 'Subject + Object + Verb', which is assumed to have originated from the speedy lifestyle of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads. The structure is quite different from that of the Han(漢) language, which is based on agricultural life. Also, it is natural for reindeer riding reindeerherding pastoral nomads or horse-riding sheep-herding pastoral nomads(騎馬, 羊遊牧民) to have held military and political power over the region and eventually to have established an ancient pastoral nomadic empire in the process of their conquest of agricultural regions. The stages for founding global empires in the history of mankind maybe largely divided into two, in terms of ecological conditions and occupations. They are the steppes and the oceans. Of course, the steppe-based empires were established based on the skills to deal with horses and the ability to shoot arrows while riding horses, along with the use of iron ware in the 8th century BC. The steppe-based empires became the foundation for an oceanic empire, which could have been established by the use of warships and warship guns since the 15th Century. Based on those facts, we know that Chosun, Puyo(夫餘), and Koguryo are the products of a developmental process of pastoral nomadic empires on the steppes. Maybe we can easily find the pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo more than we expected when we trace the origins and history of the Korean tribe living in the pastures located in the northwest area of Mt. Jangbaek by focusing on pastoral nomadic mobility and organization just as we have investigated the historic origins of Anglo-Saxons in America by focusing on the times before the 15th Century. In the process, we should keep in mind that English culture originated from the Industrial Revolution and was directly delivered to the American continent, although America was far from England and was not an intermediate point on long sojourns either. Further, American culture came back to England in a more advanced form later. The most important thing currently to be resolved is to cause Koreans to look back on their own history in a freer way of thinking and with diverse, profound, and sharp insight, taking away the old and existing conventional recognition that is entangled with complicated interests with Korean people and other countries. The meanings of Chosun, Khori, and Solongos have been interpreted arbitrarily without any historic evidence by the scholars who followed conventional tradition of fixed-minded aristocrats in an agricultural society. If the Siberian cultural properties of the stone age, the earthenware age, the bronze age, and the iron age are analyzed in such a way, archaeological discovery will never be able to contribute to the restoration of the Koguryo's pastoral nomadic identity. One should transcend the errors that tend to interpret the cultural properties discovered in the pastoral nomadic regions as not being differentiated from those of agricultural regions and just interpret them altogether from the agricultural point of view. A more careful intention is required in the interpretation of cultural properties of ancient Korean empires that seem to have been formed due to mutual interactions of pastoral nomadic and agricultural cultures. Also, it is required that the conventional recognition chain of 'reverse-genes' be severed, which has placed more weight on agricultural properties than pastoral nomadic ones, since their settlement on agricultural farms was made after the establishment of their ancient pastoral nomadic empires. There is no reason at all to place priority on stoneware, earthenware, bronze ware, and iron ware than on wooden ware(木器) and other ware which were made of animal skins(皮器), bones and horns(骨角器), in analyzing the history in the regions of reindeer or sheep pastures. Reading ancient Korean history from the perspective of pastoral nomadic history, one feels strongly the instinctive emotions to return to the natural 'mother place'. The reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo people that has been accumulated in volumes in their genes and hidden deep inside and have interacted organically could be reborn with Burqanism(Burqan refers to 不咸 in Chinese), which was their religion by birth and symbolized as the red willow(紅柳=不咸). The mother place of the Koguryo's people is the endless vast green pastures of North Eurasia and North America, where we anticipated the development of Korean livestock farming following the inherent properties in the genes of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads with Korean ancestors. We anticipate that the place would be the core resource that could contribute to the development of life of living creatures following the inherent properties of their genes and biotechnological factors. In other words, biotechnology used for a search for clues on the well-being of humans could be the fruit brought by Burqanism of the Koguryo people and the fruit of the globalization of Korean livestock farming. It is the Chosun farmer in China come from the vast nomadic reindeer pastures of North Eurasia that resolved the food problem of a billion Chinese people with lowland paddy rice seeds (水稻) by transforming Heilongjiang Province(黑龍江省) into an oceanic lowland paddy rice field(水田). Even Mao Tse-tung(毛擇東) could not resolve the food problem by his revolution campaigns for tens of years. Today is the very time that requires the development of special livestock farming following the inherent properties of the ancient Korean reindeer-herding pastoral nomads that respected the dignity of life on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the America continent. I suggest that research should be started from the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe in East Mongolia that was the homeland of Hanwoo(韓牛) and the central horse-herding steppe place(牧馬場) of Chingis Khan's Mongolia. The Dariganga Steppe is awash with an affluent natural environment for pastoral nomadic living however, the quality of life of the pastoral nomads there is still low. I suggest we Koreans, the descendents of the Koguryo, should take our first steps for our livestock farming business project and develop the Northern nomadic pastures, here at the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe, which is the Mongolian core place of state-of-the-art technology for military weapons.
