  • 본 연구에서는 고소성 점토지반으로 구성된 광양지역의 준설매립층 및 원지반층에서 채취된 자연 시료를 이용하여 기존에 제안된 6가지 방법(Casagrande, Onitsuka, Silva, Becker, Janbu, Karlsrud)으로 선행압밀압력을 산정하는데 있어서 상대적인 용이성을 기준으로 5등급의 가중치 점수를 부여 하였다. 이 때, 높은 등급이 부여된다는 것이 곧바로 정확한 선행압밀압력의 산정을 의미하는 것은 아니므로, 불교란 시료에 의한 일축압축강도를 구한 후 압밀압력과의 상관관계를 나타내는 강도증가율을 평가하였다. 이를 토대로, 각각의 방법으로 평가된 선행압밀압력과 비배수전단강도의 비, 즉, 강도증가율이 국내 해성 점성토 지반의 일반적인 값의 범위인 0.25~0.35 사이의 분포 유무 및 표준편차(강도증가율의 변화폭)를 분석하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, Becker 및 Onitsuka 방법의 평균 가중치가 다른 방법들(Casagrande, Janbu, Karlsrud)에 비해 낮고 강도증가율도 국내 해성점토 지반의 일반적인 값의 범위에 있으며, 표준편차도 낮게 평가되어 일관성 있는 평가가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

  • The population of House sparrow (Passer domesticus), once a very common bird, has declined markedly in most parts of the world including India. Sparrows were distributed widely in the district Hoogly, West Bengal, India. However over the past few decades, they became not so common in this part of the wo rld. A study has been conductedto establish the database for their current population and to assess the possible causes of their decline at Bandel ($22^{\circ}$52'22''N/$88^{\circ}$22'53''E) placed beside the river Hoogly from September 2008 to May 2009. After prolonged searching, a relatively dense population of sparrow (total subject 270) was found in busy areas of railway station and a nearby market in Bandel. The behavior of these birds was studied extensively from early morning to late night. The noise level of the area varied from 35 to 95 dB with an average of 70.6 dB from 04:30 am-10:30 pm, IST. It was also observed that the sparrows took rest on the site of the tree where the illumination level was low (30-45 lux). Sparrows residing at the Bandel station are habituated with the loud noise, being undisturbed by passing trains. Thus, it can be concluded that in spite of heavy noise of trains, crowdy travelers, and lack of nest sites, they remain at the station because of availability of food in the nearby roadside market. Based on this observation, sound pollution and availability of food are not responsible for their decline.

  • Three types of land use were investigated to describe the effect of land use on both surface and ground water quality. Typical land uses of a grazing pasture, Sudan grass field and paddy in Kangwon province were selected and flumes and monitoring wells were installed. Land managements were carefully monitored, water samples were collected periodically and analyzed with respect to nitrate, TP and TKN at a laboratory of Kangwon Provincial Institute of Health and Environment from August, 1993 to May, 1994. Runoff from the pasture was formed mostly with seeping subsurface flow in the lower areas of the pasture. A few overland flows were observed during heavy storms, and when it occurred, runoff increased sharply. For the Sudan grass field, runoff was formed with overland flow. Nitrate concentration in runoff from both land uses seemed not affected by runoff and ranged from 0.241 to 4.137mg'/1. TP and TKN concentrations from the pasture were affected by overland flow. When overland flow occurred, TP and TKN concentrations abruptly increased to 5.726 and 12.841mg/1, respectively, from less than 1.0mg/l. However, these concentrations from the Sudan grass field were quite stable ranging from 0.191 to 0.674mg/l for TP and 0A70 and 1.650mg/l for TKN. Nitrate concentration was significantly affected by land use(Sudan grass field) and the concentration increase reached about 2mg/l per lOOm ground water flow. Nitrate concentration from a well located in the middle of rice fields also was significantly higher than that measured from a well located relatively undisturbed mountain toe area. TP and TKN concentrations in shallow ground water affected by the depth of the monitoring wells. The deeper the monitoring wells, the less TP and TKN concentrations were measured.

  • This study includes determination of liquefaction potential in Erzincan city center. Erzincan Province is situated within first-degree earthquake zone on earthquake map of Turkey. In this context, the earthquake scenarios were produced using the empirical expressions. Liquefaction potential for different earthquake magnitudes (6.0, 6.5, 7.0) were determined. Liquefaction potential was investigated using Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Liquefaction potential analyses are determined in two steps: geotechnical investigations and calculations. In the first steps, boreholes were drilled to obtain disturbed and undisturbed soil samples and SPT values were obtained. Laboratory tests were made to identify geotechnical properties of soil samples. In the second step, liquefaction potential analyses were examined using two methods, namely Seed and Idriss (1971), Iwasaki et al. (1981). The liquefaction potential broadly classified into three categories, namely non-liquefiable, marginally liquefiable and liquefiable regions. Additionally, the liquefaction potential index classified into four categories, namely non-liquefiable, low, high and very high liquefiable regions. In order to liquefaction analysis complete within a short time, MATLAB program were prepared. Following the analyses, liquefaction potential index is investigated by Iwasaki et al. (1982) methods. At the final stage of this study, liquefaction potential maps and liquefaction potential index maps of the all study area by using IDW (inverse distance weighted) interpolation method in Geostatistical Analyst Module of ArcGIS 10.0 Software were prepared for different earthquake magnitudes and different depths. The results of soil liquefaction potential were evaluated in ArcGIS to map the distributions of drillings with liquefaction potential. The maps showed that there is a spatial variability in the results obtained which made it difficult to clearly separate between regional areas of high or low potential to liquefy. However, this study indicates that the presence of ground water and sandy-silty soils increases the liquefaction potential with the seismic features of the region.

  • The intertidal benthic macroalgal floras of 19 uninhabited islands were investigated in the Goheung area, South Sea, Korea, in June 2008. Seaweed community structures on the rocky shores of four (Naemaemuldo, Ceoldo, Araedombaeseom, and Jinjioedo) of the 19 islands were also examined. Eighty macroalgal species were identified, including 13 green, 19 brown, and 48 red algae. The maximum number of species was found at Naemaemuldo, with 35 species, and the minimum was at Aredombaeseom, with 21 species. Seaweed biomass ranged from 21.39-76.22 g dry wt/$m^2$, with a maximum at Naemaemuldo, and minimum at Jinjioedo. Sargassum thunbergii was a representative species, distributed widely in the intertidal zone of the four islands. Subdominant seaweeds were Corallina pilulifera and Ulva pertusa at Naemaemuldo and Jinjioedo, respectively. Also, Ishige okamurae was dominant at Ceoldo and Araedombaeseom. Six functional seaweed forms were found at each study site, except for Araedombaeseom, which had four functional groups. On the rocky shores of the four sites, a coarsely-branched form was the most dominant functional group ranging from 44.44-61.90% in species number and 72.42-91. 09% in biomass. In conclusion, among the four study sites, the shore of Naemaemuldo Island had the best ecological status, with the highest number of species, and greatest biomass (mainly brown and red algae) and functional form diversity of seaweeds. Furthermore, on the rocky shore of Naemaemuldo, coarsely branched- and joint calcareous-form seaweeds, which grow in clean and undisturbed environmental conditions, were the representative functional forms.

  • The seagrass habitats are a highly productive marine ecosystem which provides nursery ground and shelter for many fish and invertebrate species. Pholis nebulosa (Temminck & Schlegel, 1845) is one of the most abundant seagrass fishes in the coastal waters of Korea. The estimation of fish production is key for devising conservation measures and ensuring fish resources sustainability. A total 894 P. nebulosa ranging from 3.83 to 26.5 cm total length (TL) were collected monthly in 2006 with a small beam trawl in a seagrass bed of southern Korea. Growth parameters of P. nebulosa were estimated using the von Bertalanffy growth model, and production was estimated using a general equation which relates daily fish production to ash-free dry weight (AFDW), biomass, and water temperature. The von Bertalanffy's growth equation was estimated as: Lt = 28.3823(1-e-0.7835(t+0.9864)). The densities, biomass, daily, annual production, and P/B ratio were 0.069±0.061/m-2, 1.022±0.621 g/m2, 0.005±0.004 g AFDW/m2/day, 1.676 g AFDW/m2/yr, and 1.641, respectively. Monthly variation in production of P. nebulosa peaked during March and April 2006 (0.0139 and 0.0111 g AFDW/m2/day), whereas the lowest value of 0.0005 g AFDW/m2/day was in December. Monthly change in production of P. nebulosa was positively correlated with biomass and condition factor. Our results will contribute to the conservation of seagrass ecosystems, which are still undisturbed in the study area.

  • Based on its geophysical feature, the island has long been recognized as a separate and self-sustaining space independent of neighboring continent or other islands. Literary tradition has used the island as a metaphor for a utopian alternative to mundane human society with its various kinds of wrongdoings. Recent nature writings have taken up this island metaphor to emphasize the wholeness of the ecosystem in specifically designated natural community or landscapes such as national parks or wilderness preservation areas. Human-nature relations as border-divided area is also recognized as the island. Modern island biogeography, however, has disproved such a concept of islands as autonomous, revealing the contrasting fact that the richness of species on an undisturbed island is determined largely by species immigration from and emigration to a source of colonists. This scientific finding has posited the island as the interconnected nature, but the public and metaphoric use of it still resorts to the old concept of it as isolated and autonomous nature, because this image has been ingrained deeply in our consciousness and culture. Considering the negative consequences from the recognition of nature and nature-humans as isolated space, we need a new nature metaphor that embodies interconnectedness in nature and of human-nature relations. Such feature of interconnectedness is best embedded in the concept of ecotone. Some ecotones are created and maintained through human participation in nature, and this human induced nature of ecotone denotes the possibilities of a constructive relation between them. The substitution of the island with the ecotone as the concept of nature and the image of human-nature relations is expected to correct ecocritical practices of reading of nature writing, which has been predominantly interpreted within the orientation of nature itself and nature-human relations as an isolated and self-autonomous island. Adopting the ecotone in literary study enables ecocriticism to dig out cultural elements embedded in nature writing and reveal socio-political, ideological factors hidden behind the writers' portrayal of nature as islands.

  • 토공계획은 자연상태의 원지반 토량을 절취하여 흐트러진 상태의 토량을 운반하고 성토지반의 활용도에 따라 다짐을 하는 과정에서 토질의 체적변화를 고려하여 수립하여야 한다. 흙의 상태에 따른 체적의 변화를 구하기 위해 일반적으로 심도 2m 깊이에서 시험굴 조사를 통해 얻어진 토량환산계수를 사용하게 되며, 굴착 깊이에 따른 토질의 성질을 고려하지 않고 전체 토공량에 일률적으로 적용하다 보니 토공량 산정에 오차가 발생하고 있다. 특히 신도시 택지개발과 같이 대량의 토공량이 필요한 조성공사의 경우 작은 오차에도 토공량의 차이는 크게 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 심도 2m이상 토질의 물리적 특성을 조사하고 기존의 설계기준인 심도 2m의 토량환산계수와 비교 검토한 결과 굴착 심도가 깊고 대규모 토공사의 경우 심도별 토량환산계수(C)를 적용할 경우 절토량을 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 낙동강 하구지역에는 부산점토라고 불리는 연약점토가 두텁게 분포하고 있다. 과거 10년 동안에 대단위 지반개량 사업이 수행되어 왔지만, 주로 시료교란 때문에 압밀침하량과 시간을 아주 과소평가하여 왔었다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 부산점토에 대한 체계적인 지반조사에 의하여 압축특성을 규명할 필요가 요구되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해안지역의 두 현장에서 개선된 시료채취기술을 적용하여 얻어진 시료에 대하여 지질조사, 불교란 및 교란 시료에 대한 압밀실험이 수행되었다. 이 결과를 이용하여 각종 압축정수의 산정과 그들의 상관성을 규명하였으며, 특히 퇴적환경에 따라 물리적 특성, 구조수준, 교란도 및 압축정수의 변화를 분석하였다.
