We performed analysis of composition and structure of coating layers by using ED-XRF and TOF-SIMS for some passion topaz of Swarovski which developed recently as new surface treatment of TCF (thermal color fusion) technique. In addition, we compared differences between Ti-coated topaz (Mystic topaz) and new treated colored topazes (passion topaz) with magnification observation and simplified durability test. As a result, we can observe similar characteristic clues in Ti-coated topaz and passion topaz by magnified observation. According to results of depth profile by TOF-SIMS, we can know that topaz is treated by multi-layer coating or surface diffusion coating. Moreover, the passion topaz which is treated by chemical reaction between metal elements shows more stable chemical resistance and higher Mohs' hardness than Ti-coated topaz.

Ocean biogeochemistry plays a crucial role in sustaining the marine ecosystem and global carbon cycle. To investigate the oceanic biogeochemical responses to iron parameters in the tropical Pacific, we conducted sensitivity experiments using the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean-Tracers of Ocean Phytoplankton with Allometric Zooplankton (NEMO-TOPAZ) model. Compared to observations, the NEMO-TOPAZ model overestimated the concentrations of chlorophyll and dissolved iron (DFe). The sensitivity tests showed that with increasing (+50%) iron scavenging rates, chlorophyll concentrations in the tropical Pacific were reduced by approximately 16%. The bias in DFe also decreased by approximately 7%; however, the sea surface temperature was not affected. As such, these results can facilitate the development of the model tuning strategy to improve ocean biogeochemical performance using the NEMO-TOPAZ model.

This study was carried out to establish improved techniques on organogenesis from callus culture of Gladiolus. Organogenesis from the callus was effective in the half strength of MS solid medium without 2,4-D at 15 $^{\circ}C$ under 24 hours of daylength. Formation of adventitious root was most effective in the liquid shaking culture, and adventitious shoot induction was effective in the liquid stationary culture. From these results, we could find optimal culture conditions for redifferentiation from callus, in addition, liquid shaking culture revealed as more useful when compared with that of solid culture method for the redifferentiation of callus in Gladiolus `Topaz'.

This study was performed to enhance the proliferation rate of Gladiolus 'Topaz' callus. The callus was induced from the cermet tissue explants on MS solid medium with 10 mg/L 2,4-D. In the case of liquid shaking culture, proliferation of the callus was effective in MS medium with 0.05 mg/L 2,4-D at 2$0^{\circ}C$ under 16 hours daylength and in a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 20 mL of the liquid medium and at 75 rpm in rotation speed of the horizontal shaking culture. Furthermore the callus was also able to be subcultured in the same liquid medium.

For the purpose of mineralogical and chemical study on the topazes from various localities of world(Brzail, China, India, Nigeria and Sri Lanka), electron microprobe analysis(EPMA), neutron activation analysis(NAA), X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, etch test, scanning electron microscopy, refractive index, specific gravity, fluid inclusion were performed. The chemical composition in topaz was discussed along with its physical and structural properties. Variations in the unit-cell dimension and physical properties of topaz were found to have a close relations in the unit-cell dimension and physical properties of topaz were found to have a close relationship with extent of substitution of $OH^-\;for\;F^-$. According to neutron activation analyses, the trace elements had no effects on the physical properties of topaz. Raman spectra showed that the peaks of topaz were different in intensity from one locality to another. Etching defects in topaz includes negative crystal defect o point-bottom pit(India, Nigeria) and net work defect of curl-bottom pit(Brazil, China). Fluid inclusions in topaz may be classiffied into liquid $CO_2$-bearing inclusion, gaseous inclusion, halite, sylvite-bearing inclusion and liquid inclusion. The results of this study can be useful to devising artificial coloring methods for topaz with different mineralogical compositions.

Biogeochemical processes play an important role in ocean environments and can affect the entire Earth's climate system. Using an ocean-biogeochemistry model (NEMO-TOPAZ), we investigated the effects of changes in albedo and wind stress caused by phytoplankton in the equatorial Pacific. The simulated ocean temperature showed a slight decrease when the solar reflectance of the regions where phytoplankton were present increased. Phytoplankton also decreased the El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude by decreasing the influence of trade winds due to their biological enhancement of upper-ocean turbulent viscosity. Consequently, the cold sea surface temperature bias in the equatorial Pacific and overestimation of the ENSO amplitude were slightly reduced in our model simulations. Further sensitivity tests suggested the necessity of improving the phytoplankton-related equation and optimal coefficients. Our results highlight the effects of altered albedo and wind stress due to phytoplankton on the climate system.

The objective of this study is to test the applicability of SLURP (Semi-distributed Land Use-based Runoff Process) on Soyanggang-dam watershed. SLURP model is a conceptual semi-distributed form model that can be used to examine irrigation plan and the effects of proposed changes in water management within a basin or to see what effects external factors such as climate change or changing land cover might have on various water users. Topographical parameters were derived from DEM using TOPAZ and SLURPAZ. Monthly NDVIs were calculated from multi-temporal NOAA/AVHRR images during four years (1998 ∼ 2001). Weather elements (dew-point temperature, solar radiation, maximum/minimum temperature and relative humidify) were obtained from five meteorological stations within and near the study area. To simulate daily hydrograph during 1998 ∼ 2001, the model parameters of each land cover class were optimized by sensitivity analysis and SCE-UA method. Test result of SLURP was summarized by various statistics method (WMO volume error, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, mean error and coefficient of variation).

The objective of this study is to the test applicability of SLURP on Soyanggang-dam watershed. The area of this watershed is $2,694km^2$ and mean elevation and slope is 650 m and $23^{\circ}$ respectively. Topographical parameters were derived from DEM using TOPAZ and SLURPAZ. NDVI was calculated from multi-temporal NOAA/AVHRR images. The daily meteorological data and hydrograph during $1999\~2001$ were selected for model calibration and performance tests. Weather elements (dew-point temperature, solar radiation, maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity) were required from the S meteorological stations near the study area. The model parameters of each land cover class were optimized by sensitivity analysis and SCE-UA method. Runoff rate shows $49.33\%\~64.06\%$. Simulated results during 4 years were estimated by Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency and WMO volume error. Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency shows $0.61\~0.75$ and WMO volume error shows $6.1\%-18.8\%$.

최근 정부의 적극적인 지원으로 남북한 교류사업이 본격적으로 추진되고 있고, 통일에 대한 기대감이 높아가고 있는 지금 어느때보다 북한에 내한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그동안 북한과 관련된 인구는 정치, 경제, 사회, 문화 등 인문${\cdot}$사회과학분야가 대부분을 차지하였고, 자연과학 및 공학 대한 연구는 상대적으로 빈약한 실정이다(배덕효, 1999). 특히 수자원 관련분야는 최근 몇몇 학자들이 원격탐사 기법을 이용하여 연구를 수행한 바 있으나 그 결과는 매우 미비할 실정이다. 북한은 유역탐사 및 샘플채취 등을 위한 접근자체가 어렵기 때문에 자료의 수집 및 보정에 있어 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지금까지 문헌을 통해서만 소개된 북한지역의 유역특성에 따른 수자원 현황을 분석하기 위해 인공위성자료와 지형자료를 이용한 원격탐사(RS:Remote Sensing) 및 지리정보시스템(GIS:Geographic Information System) 기법을 이용하여 유역의 유출특성을 파악하였다. 대상유역으로 선정한 북한 예성강 유역은 수자원이 풍부하고 유역경사가 비교적 완만하게 구성되어 있다. 또한 용수이용에 있어서도 양수장을 이용하여 관개배수를 시행하는 북한지역의 일반적인 사례와는 달리 신곡저수지, 예의 저수지 등 대규모 저수지를 통한 관개를 시행하고 있어 남한유역과 유사한 점이 많기 때문에 적용에 있어 큰 무리가 없을 것이라 판단하였다. 지형자료 구축을 위한 인공위성 자료는 USGS(US Geological Survey) DEM(Digital Elevation Model) 자료를 이용하였으며, 이를 UTM(Universal Transverse Mercatro) 지구좌표계의 DEM 자료로 변환하였다. 또한 유역의 고도차를 이용한 흐름특성 분석을 위해 수치고도자료를 이용하여 유역흐름특성을 분석할 수 있는 TOPAZ(Topographic PArameteri-Zation) 프로그램을 이용하였다. TOPAZ 프로그램을 통해 분석된 각 격자별 분포형 수문 매개변수는 적합한 관계식을 통해 분포형 유출량을 모의하는데 적용된다.
