한반도 서해안과 남해안에 위치한 반폐쇄된 함평만과 광양만에서 조간대 퇴적물의 계절변화를 조사하기 위하여 2${\sim}$4년 동안 입도와 집적률에 대한 모니터링을 실시하였다. 함평만 조간대의 경우, 니질조간대에서는 겨울에 퇴적되고 여름에 침식되는 반면, 혼합조간대에서는 여름에 퇴적되고 겨울에 침식되는 상반된 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 현상은 함평만 조간대에서는 일차적으로 몬순계절풍에 의한 파랑의 발달과 조간대 지형이 퇴적물의 계절변화에 중요한 요소로 작용하기 때문이다. 그러나 광양만 조간대에서는 가을과 겨울, 봄에 퇴적되고 여름에 침식되어 함평만 조간대와는 다른 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 현상은 광양만 조간대는 함평만 조간대와는 달리 지형적 특징에 따라 파랑의 발달이 제한되어 상대적으로 창조우세의 조류가 중요한 요소로 작용하기 때문이다. 그러나 여름에는 간헐적으로 발생하는 태풍과 폭우가 조간대의 침식을 가속화하며, 이러한 태풍과 폭우는 파랑의 발달이 제한된 남해안의 반폐쇄된 조간대에서 여름 동안 중요한 침식유발 요인으로 작용할 것으로 생각된다.

Because of energy crisis and environment pollution, we have become more conscious of the need to conserve heat in buildings. In response to this need. new requirements have been developed for insulation and other matters relating to energy consumption. Among others, more promising is to use the energy that is all around us in the dynamic forces of nature:the wind, tides, waves, rivers, geothermal hot spots, and the sun. The problem is that we have not been forced to find the technological means to convert these natural energies into usable forms because it has been too easy simply to dig or pump our energy out of the ground. Now, the problem is not a shortage of energy itself, but a shortage of technology for converting the energy that lies aoo around us into usable forms. Energy-conversion technology is the real issue, and solar energy is one of the brightest and most promising frontiers in energy conversion. All buildings are wrapped in a skin. Generally skins protect the person in stay from rain, wind, dust, noise, cold, hot etc.. However, there are some skins that provide energy from given environment into the building. Out of aoo, transparent insulation material is one of these materials that most effectively satisfies this kind of envelope function. Since, there are no research on transparent insulation in Korea, it has been studied very actively in Europe and in America. Thus, in this thesis, we will theoratically study and analyze how the heat flows through a trans arrent insulated opaque wall of a school building in Korea. It will be an important information for the effective using guidelines of transparent insulation materials in Korea.

The word 'Saemangeum' indicates an estuarine tidal flat in the southwestern part of the Korean peninsula. The Saemangeum Reclamation Project was launched as a national project in 1991 to reclaim a large coastal area of $401\;km^2$ by constructing a 33-km long dyke. The final dyke enclosure in April 2006 has transformed the tidal flat into lake and land. An integrated oceanographic study has been conducted since 2002 as a part of the Government Action Plan to monitor and assess changes in the marine environment. Prior to the dyke enclosure, the coastal environment in the Saemangeum was a complex system governed by tidal motion, estuarine processes, and coastal circulation of the Yellow Sea. The dyke construction has radically changed not only the estuarine tidal system inside the dyke, but also the coastal marine environment outside the dyke. Post to the dyke enclosure, subsequent changes such as red tide, hypoxia, and coastal erosion/deposition occur successively. Red tides appear almost the year round in the inner area. Even under the condition that the sluice gates are fully open, the water quality does not improve as much as the developers would expect, mainly due to the critical reduction of the hydrodynamic stirring power. We will introduce details of our monitoring program and significant changes in the Saemangeum marine environment, based on observations and model results.

Src-Homology 2 (SH2) domains have a capacity to bind phosphotyrosine-containing sequence context and play essential roles in various cellular signaling pathways. Due to the specific nature of the binding between SH2 domains and their counterpart proteins, inhibitors of SID domain binding have drawn extensive attention as a potential candidate for therapeutic agents. Here, we describe the binding assay system to screen for the ligands or blockers of the SH2 domains with an emphasis on the $p56^{lck}$ SH2 domain. In our assay system, SID domains expressed and purified as fusion proteins to Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were covalently attached to 96-well microtitre plates through amide bond formation, which were subsequently allowed to bind the biotinylated phosphotyrosine (pY)containing synthetic pep tides. The binding of biotinylated pY peptides was detected by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. Using the various combinations of SH2 domain-pY peptides, we observed that: (1) The binding of pY-peptides to its counterpart SH2 domain is concentration-dependent and saturable; (2) The binding is highly specific for a particular combination of SH2 domain-pY peptide pair; and (3) The binding of Lck SH2-cognate pY-peptides is specifically competed by the nonbiotinylated peptides with expected relative affinity. These results indicate that the established assay system detects the SH2-pY peptide interaction with reproducible sensitivity and specificity and is suitable for screening the specific inhibitors of $p56^{lck}$ SH2 function.

The Yellow Sea is characterized by relatively shallow water depth, varying range of tidal action and very complex coastal geometry such as islands, bays, peninsulas, tidal flats, shoals etc. The dynamic system is controlled by tides, regional winds, river discharge, and interaction with the Kuroshio. The circulation, water mass properties and their variability in the Yellow Sea are very complicated and still far from clear understanding. In this study, an effort to improve our understanding the dynamic feature of the Yellow Sea system was conducted using numerical simulation with the ROMS model, applying climatologic forcing such as winds, heat flux and fresh water precipitation. The inter-annual variability of general circulation and thermohaline structure throughout the year has been obtained, which has been compared with observational data sets. The simulated horizontal distribution and vertical cross-sectional structures of temperature and salinity show a good agreement with the observational data indicating significantly the water masses such as Yellow Sea Warm Water, Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, Changjiang River Diluted Water and other sporadically observed coastal waters around the Yellow Sea. The tidal effects on circulation and dynamic features such as coastal tidal fronts and coastal mixing are predominant in the Yellow Sea. Hence the tidal effects on those dynamic features are dealt in the accompanying paper (Kim et at., 2004). The ROMS model adopts curvilinear grid with horizontal resolution of 35 km and 20 vertical grid spacing confirming to relatively realistic bottom topography. The model was initialized with the LEVITUS climatologic data and forced by the monthly mean air-sea fluxes of momentum, heat and fresh water derived from COADS. On the open boundaries, climatological temperature and salinity are nudged every 20 days for data assimilation to stabilize the modeling implementation. This study demonstrates a Yellow Sea version of Atlantic Basin experiment conducted by Haidvogel et al. (2000) experiment that the ROMS simulates the dynamic variability of temperature, salinity, and velocity fields in the ocean. However the present study has been improved to deal with the large river system, open boundary nudging process and further with combination of the tidal forcing that is a significant feature in the Yellow Sea.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs or red tides), caused by uncontrolled proliferation of marine phytoplankton, impose a severe environmental problem and occasionally threaten even public health. We sequenced the genome of an EPS-producing marine bacterium Hahella chejuensis that produces a red pigment with the lytic activity against red-tide dinoflagellates at parts per billion level. H. chejuensis is the first sequenced species among algicidal bacteria as well as in the order Oceanospirillales. Sequence analysis indicated a distant relationship to the Pseudomonas group. Its 7.2-megabase genome encodes basic metabolic functions and a large number of proteins involved in regulation or transport. One of the prominent features of the H. chejuensis genome is a multitude of genes of functional equivalence or of possible foreign origin. A significant proportion (${\sim}23%$) of the genome appears to be of foreign origin, i.e. genomic islands, which encode genes for biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides, toxins, polyketides or non-ribosomal peptides, iron utilization, motility, type III protein secretion and pigment production. Molecular structure of the algicidal pigment was determined to be prodigiosin by LC-ESI-MS/MS and NMR analyses. The genomics-based research on H. chejuensis opens a new possibility for controlling algal blooms by exploiting biotic interactions in the natural environment and provides a model in marine bioprospecting through genome research.

Tides caused by the Galactic gravitational field affect the current dynamical structure of globular clusters in the Galaxy. Indeed, the observed feature of tidal tails stretching beyond globular clusters' tidal radii provides a key information of interaction with the gravitational field of the Galaxy and kinematical orbit of the clusters, which can be an evidence of the merging scenario of the Galaxy formation and evolution. To find such a tidal feature, we have studied spatial density distribution of stars around five globular clusters in the Galactic halo and one cluster in the Galactic bulge, for which we have used wide-field deep photometric data of gri and JHK bands obtained from the MegaCam and WIRCam of the CFHT. Applying the statistical contrast filtering of field stars in the color-magnitude plane of detected stars around five halo clusters, we have found features of tidal tails for four clusters M53, M15, NGC 5053, and NGC 5466. The detected over-density tidal features are well aligned with the cluster's orbits and stretched into the direction of the Galactic center. Statistical analysis indicate that these tidal tails are believed to be cluster stars that have escaped due to the tidal effects to the clusters. A similar tidal feature to that of halo clusters is also detected for the bulge cluster NGC 6626, while the over-density feature seems to be extended into the Galactic plane rather than into the orbital direction and the Galactic center. Conclusively, our result adds further observational evidence of the merging scenario of the Galaxy formation and evolution.

북방한계선 주변의 한강하구는 지난 60년 동안 개발 및 이용이 금지되었기 때문에, 자연하천의 모습을 간직하고 있다. 그러나 최근 들어 경인수로를 비롯한 민간 이용을 위한 논의가 이루어지고 있으나, 한강하구의 기본적인 특성에 관한 정보가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는, 인공위성 합성개구레이더 (SAR)를 이용한 하구역 퇴적상의 변동 조사를 실시하고, 퇴적상을 기반으로 한강하구 뱃길을 제안하고자 한다. 2000년부터 2005년까지의 Radarsat-1 영상을 이용하여 시계열해석한 결과에 따르면, 1) 한강 하구역은 집중호우등에 의해 부유사가 많이 발생하며, 2) 식생역 (vegetated area) 은 거의 안정화단계에 있으며, 3) 퇴적상(bar)의 월 변동성은 크지 않으나, 매년 발생하는 호우 등에 의해 퇴적상의 위치 변화는 상당히 컸다. 여기서 얻어진 퇴적상의 변동 특성을 기반으로, 북방한계선 이남의 한강 수역에 대한 뱃길의 설계 방향을 제시하였다. 향후, 장기간에 대한 위성 및 현장 조가를 바탕으로 자연하천의 특성을 훼손하지 않는 범위에서의 개발이 이루어져야한다.

우리나라 남해연안의 해양수산자원과 경관은 생태학적인 관점에서뿐만 아니라 경제적으로도 매우 중요하다. 밀식 등 과다한 양식과 하ㆍ폐수의 유입으로 이 해역의 부영양화 현상은 더욱 심각하게 되었다. 본 연구는 1998년부터 1999년까지 여름과 겨울로 구분하여 채취한 해수와 퇴적물의 분석결과로부터 남해연안의 부영양화 상태를 파악하였고, 퇴적물 오염정도, 퇴적물로부터 의 영양염류 용출과 산소소비량을 측정하였다. 또한 양식장 자가오염의 주원인중의 하나인 양식장의 부착생물에 의한 배설물량을 측정하였다. 양식장의 해수의 영양염류 농도는 일반해양보다 대체적으로 높게 나타났다. 양식장에서 채취된 여름의 퇴적물 중 COD와 총인의 농도가 겨울의 퇴적물보다 높은 경향을 보여주었다. 우리나라 남해연안의 패류양식장 퇴적물은 부영양화 물질과 저산소층 수괴의 주요 오염원으로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
