As a part of the multidisciplinary oceanographic study for the productivity enhancement in Deukryang Bay, temperature and salinity were observed from 1992 through 1993. From the results, only the data in summer of two years are compared. Owing to the contrary meteorolgical conditions in both summers both of temperature and salinity had the patterns of horizontal distributions quite different from each other. In 1992 with low precipitation, there was a tendency of temperature increase and salinity decrease from the bay mouth towards the bay head. In 1993 when the air temperature was abnormally low, isotherms and isotherms tended to be parallel to the local u3s of the bay where the warmer and less saline water distributed along the western coast. Reduced solar radiation and increase in the relative importance of the distribution of properties along the current that was parallel to the axis of the bay could be responsible for this result. Vertical structures of both temperature and salinity were dependent on the stirring effect of tidal current. Stratification was destroyed during the spring tide while it was formed during the neap tide.

In coastal area of Inchon, dredging and the disposal of dredged material for sea-wall construction and reclamation have increased in recent years. These activities may impact the benthic environment and result in changes in benthic communities, but little information is available on the extent and direction of these changes. We investigated whether there have been changes in the dominant macrobenthic species and benthic community over the last decade, and explored the relationship between environmental variables and spatial patterns of macrobenthic community structure. We sampled macrobenthos and recorded environmental variables in the coastal habitats of Inchon in March and June 2004. In total, 212 macrobenthic species were recorded during this study, predominately crustaceans $(34{\%})$, mollusks $(32{\%})$ and polychaetes $(21{\%})$. The mean density of macrobenthos was $1,393\;ind./m^{2}$.The most abundant species was Amphioplus japonicus $(20.5{\%})$, followed by Heteromastus filiformis $(14.4{\%})$, Theora fragilis $(8.2{\%})$ and Ampharete sp. $(4.0{\%})$. Over the past decade the dominant macrobenthic species in this area shifted. Multivariate analysis (multidimensional scaling) revealed significant differences in community structure among three regions: the middle part of the sampling area (B), site 8 (C) and other sites (A). Mean density varied significantly among the three regions, but no differences in the number of species and diversity (H') were observed. The distribution of the macrobenthic community was affected by environmental variables such as percentage sand content and sediment kurtosis. Species that were important in different areas included A. japonicus in region A, Raeta puchella in region B and T. fragilis in region C. The important species in regions B and C were filter-feeding bivalves, and the abundance of these species may be related to the increase in percentage sand content. We suggest that the sediment composition (percentage sand content) may be an important factor in determining the dominant species and structure of the macrobenthic communities in coastal Inchon. Long-term monitoring programs are necessary to understand ongoing changes in the benthic communities of this area.

Distribution, bathymetry and textural parameters of the bottom sediment deposited between Geoje and Namhae Islands were studied to understand the depositional environment of the area. The study area is divided into three different provinces. Except for the Gwangyang Bay and Changseon Channel, mud dominates in the western part whereas sandy mud and muddy sand prevail in the southeastern part including the eastern area of the Yogji Island. The relict sediment is located in the eastern part of the area. Generally, the Holocene sediment, located in the northern part of the area, is considered to be transported and deposited by a pelagic suspension mode. Influence of strong tidal currents results in some depressions in the vicinity of Changseon Island and the eastern part of the Yogji Island, The Tsushima Warm Current is supposed to affect the southern part of the area. The two parallels sand ridges lying in the southeastern part of the area are covered with very thin Holocene mud. This seems to be caused by the winnowing effect of the current. The similarity between the two directions of the current and the ridges encourages this idea. The boundary between the Holocene and relict sediment, however, lies further south the ridges.

조석에 의한 지하수위변동이 발생하는 해안가 암반대수층에서 고조(high tide)과 저조(low tide) 조건에서의 차이를 규명하기 위한 양수시험이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 양수시험이 수행된 시험대 수층은 암반층으로서 시험공들은 해안가에서 약 180 m 이격되어 있으며, 양수정(MW1공)과 관측정(MW2공)의 이격거리는 8.05 m 이다. 양수정과 관측정 모두 공 내경은 0.205 m 이며, 케이싱심도는 지표면하 19 m 정도이다. 그리고, 양수정과 관측정의 지하수위는 지표면하 5 m 정도에 형성 되어 있으며, 시험대수층의 두께는 약 40 m 정도이다. 양수시험은 총 3회 수행되었으며, 모든 시험에서 수중모터 설치심도는 지표면하 30 m 이고 양수율은 $75\;m^3/day$로서 동일하였다. 그러나, 양수시작 시간의 차이를 두어 고조 후 1회(1차 시험), 저조 후 2회(2차 및 3차 시험) 수행되었다. 양수정과 관측정에서 자동수위측정기(Model 3001, Solinst)를 설치하여 관측된 지하수위변동 자료에 의하면, 조석현상 발생 후 시험공 내 지하수위변동 경과시간은 고조(high tide) 후 2시간, 저조 (low tide) 후 1시간 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 양수시험 시 1차 시험은 고조 후 2시간 경과한 시점에서, 2차 및 3차 시험은 저조 후 1시간 경과한 시점에서 양수가 시작되었다. 양수시험에 의한 경과시간에 따른 수위강하량 그래프에서는 고조조건이 저조조건에 비해 수위강하량이 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 원인은 저조에 비해 고조 조건에서는 해수에 의한 지하수위가 상승하여, 동일한 양수조건에서 수위강하량이 적게 나타난 것이다. 양수시험 자료가 AQTESOLV 3.5 프로그램을 이용하여 해석되었다. Theis method에 의해 산정된 수리전도도는 고조 조건의 양수시험에서는 $4.159{\times}10^{-6}\;m/sec$, 저조 후에서는 각각 $3.818{\times}10^{-6}\;m/sec$와 $3.926{\times}10^{-6}\;m/sec$ 이었다. 저조 후에 비해 고조 후의 수리전도도가 5% 이상 높은 것으로 산정되었다. 이상의 연구 결과들에 의해, 해안가 암반대수층에서는 양수시험 시 조석효과에 의한 수리적인 변동을 고려한 설계와 해석이 수행되어야함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 해안가 암반대수층에서 전기전도도의 수직적인 변화를 관측하여 조석에 의한 해수와 담수 전이대의 특성을 파악하였다. 연구지역은 부경대학교 대연캠퍼스 주변 해안대수층이며, 응회질퇴적암과 안산암 및 안산암질 화산각력암 등이 분포한다. 연구에 이용된 지하수 관측공 (PK1공)은 부경대학교 대연캠퍼스 내 기숙사 동측에 위치하고 있다. 지하수공의 개발심도는 지표 면하 120 m, 케이싱은 지표면하 19 m까지 설치되어 있으며, 내경은 0.2 m로서 해안가에서 180 m 정도 이격되어 있다. 해안대수층 내 해수와 담수 전이대를 파악하기 위하여 관측공 내에 TLC Meter(Model 107, Solinst)를 삽입하여 전기전도도의 수직적인 변화를 지하수공 내 심도 50 m 까지 측정하였다. 전기전도도의 수직적인 관측은 썰물(low tide)일 때, 썰물에서 밀물(high tide)로 될 때 및 밀물일 때로 나누어 총 3회 수행되었다. 전체적인 전기전도도의 분포는 썰물일 때 $630{\sim}47300{\mu}S/cm$, 썰물에서 밀물로 되는 시기에는 $672{\sim}61900{\mu}S/cm$ 및 밀물일 때는 $678{\sim}67900{\mu}S/cm$로 나타났으며, 따라서 밀물일 때가 썰물일 때보다 전기전도도의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 해수와 담수 전이대의 분포는 썰물일 때 약 $20{\sim}50\;m$, 밀물일 때 약 $20{\sim}38\;m$ 정도로 나타났으며, 이는 밀물 시 해수의 침투로 인해 전이대 하부구간의 농도가 상승하였기 때문이다. 해수와 담수 전이대의 구간을 세분화하여 분석하기 위해, 담수가 우세한 전이대, 주 전이대 및 해수가 우세한 전이대 구간으로 구분하였다. 담수가 우세한 전이대는 썰물과 밀물일 때 모두 지표면하 $20.0{\sim}25.5\;m$ 구간이었으며, 주 전이대에서는 지표면하 $25.5{\sim}25.7\;m$ 정도로 나타났다. 그러나, 해수가 우세한 전이대에서는 썰물일 때 지표면하 $25.7{\sim}50.0\;m$ 구간, 밀물일 때는 지표면하 $25.7{\sim}38.0\;m$ 로서 전이대의 폭이 19 m 정도의 차이를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 해안가 암반대수층에서 해수와 담수의 전이대는 조석에 의해 영향으로 인해, 썰물 시의 전이대가 밀물에 비해 그 폭이 더욱적음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the sites of narrowing/obstruction and to measure the regional severity of narrowing through the evaluation of dynamic changes in upper-airway of healthy subjects. The selected 9 subjects were proved not to have any sleep-related disorder such as snoring or obstructive sleep apnea through clinical examination, radiological examination, sleep study with a portable recording system. Afterward, the Electron Beam Tomography was performed during the waking and sleeping state of subjects, with their mandible in resting and protruded position. Intravenous injection of Dormicum$^{(R)}$ was used for the induction of sleep. The maximum and minimum cross-sectional areas at each airway level during tidal ventilation were measured and the Collapsibility Index for each level of cross-section was also computed. In a comparison with results under variable conditions, the result was showed that the significant difference between each airway level divided with upper, middle, lower region of upper airway is not observed in the average minimum cross-sectional areas and Collapsibility Index. The significant difference only between in wake and sleep state was observed in the average minimum cross-sectional area at the lower region. Also, in wake state, the significant difference between resting and protrusive position of mandible for the average minimum was also observed in cross-sectional area at middle region. In sleep state, no significant difference between resting and protrusive position of mandible was observed in cross-sectional area and the Collapsibility Index.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is related to high mortality and morbidity. There are no proven therapeutic measures however, to improve the clinical course of ARDS, except using low tidal volume ventilation. Metformin is known to have pleiotropic effects including anti-inflammatory activity. We hypothesized that pre-admission metformin might alter the progress of ARDS among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study from January 1, 2005, to April 30, 2005 of patients who were admitted to the medical ICU at Seoul National University Hospital because of ARDS, and reviewed ARDS patients with DM. Metformin use was defined as prescribed within 3-month pre-admission. Results: Of 558 patients diagnosed with ARDS, 128 (23.3%) patients had diabetes and 33 patients were treated with metformin monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications. Demographic characteristics, cause of ARDS, and comorbid conditions (except chronic kidney disease) were not different between metformin users and nonusers. Several severity indexes of ARDS were similar in both groups. The 30-day mortality was 42.42% in metformin users and 55.32% in metformin nonusers. On multivariable regression analysis, use of metformin was not significantly related to a reduced 30-day mortality (adjusted ${\beta}-coefficient$, -0.19; 95% confidence interval, -1.76 to 1.39; p=0.816). Propensity score-matched analyses showed similar results. Conclusion: Pre-admission metformin use was not associated with reduced 30-day mortality among ARDS patients with DM in our medical ICU.

Wave-current interaction due to strong ambient currents causes to alter wave properties such as wave height, wave profile and wave spectrum. In this study we first examined the SWAN model's applicability by comparing with an analytical solution of Suh et al. (1994) for wave-current interaction in finite water-depth. Numerical experiments using SWAN model have been conducted for Garolim Bay to estimate the design waveheights influenced by strong tidal currents. For the design wave periods of 8~10 sec, the design wave height of 3 m in NNW direction was increased by up to 40% when the incident waves encounter the opposing currents of 1.4 m/s while the wave height was reduced by 26% due to the following currents of 1.1 m at the bay mouth. This result indicates that the effect of wave-current interaction must be included to determine the design wave height if there exists a strong current.

The downstream reach of the Han River adjoining Seoul in Korea was the upper boundary of an estuary where tidal effect on the flow rate could be exerted. According to the comprehensive river regulation project, the river was channelize dand impounded by two overflow dams, which provided favorable condition for algal growth in this sewage polluted eutrophic reach. In this study primary productivity of phytoplankton was measured in the down reach and the autochthonous and allochthonous organic carbon loadings were estimated. Primary production of phytoplankton measured by C-14 uptake and P-I model method ranged from 140 to $4,890\;mgC\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$ (median value $1,865\;mgC\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$) showing the level of eutrophic lakes. Phytoplankton density that varied according to water flow rate was highest in spring. Allochthonous organic carbon loading was dominated by sewage input through tributaries in most of days except flood flow period. The average proportion of autochthonous carbon generation by phytoplankton was 40.9%, which is very high proportion for a lotic habitat.

The water quality of the laver bed at Yongwon Ri, Changwon Gun was investigated during the spring and neap tide in March 1970. The effect of tide on the contents of various chemical constituents was irregular and the variation ranges of the contents were narrow. The pH value during flood and ebb tide was a constant of 8.2. The chlorosity range varied from 19.15 to 19.33g/l, the difference of 0.18g/l being comparatively small for coastal waters. The nutrient salts contents varied irregulary with the change in tide, but nitrite and soluble iron were not detected. In local distribution, chlorosity and silicate- silicon contents were found to be more at Sts. 1, 2 and 3 in the eastern area than at Sts. 4, 5 and 6 in the western area, wheras nitrate and ammonia contents were found to be more at Sts. 4, 5 and 6. The nitrate content was especially high, being twice as much as that at Sts. 1, 2 and 3 in the eastern area. In the spring tide, chlorosity was found, on the average, to be as much as 0.06g/l higher than in the neap tide, but the contents of nutrient salts were higher in the neap tide, especially the nitrate content was twice as much. When compared with other selected local laver beds, i.e., the tidal flats of the Nackdong and Somjin rivers, and of Wan Do Gun, the chlorosity level was highest but the nutrient salts contents level was, in general, slightly lower and the variation ranges narrow in the laver bed at Yongwon ri. The nitrate content, in particular was one tenth smaller than the others.
