토양 입경분석 중 점토함량 분석과정은 특히 시간과 공간을 많이 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 분광광도계(spectrophotometer)를 이용하여 점토함량을 측정하는 방법을 개발하고자 수행되었다. 분광광도계를 이용한 점토함량 분석방법은 다음의 4단계를 통해 개발되었다. 첫째, 분광광도계로 점토 분석이 가능한 최적파장을 선택하기 위해 표준 점토 시료(kaolinite, vermiculite, illite, montmorillonite)를 이용하여 점토종류에 따른 파장별 흡광도를 측정하였으며, 최적 파장으로 500 nm를 선정하였다. 둘째, 분광광도계를 이용한 재현성이 높은 분석 방법은 250 ml 삼각 플라스크에 풍건 토양과 분산액을 넣고 12시간 진탕(130 rpm)하여 토양시료를 분산시킨 후 용기를 30초간 상하로 흔들어 미리 설치한 cell에 4 ml를 피펫으로 취하여 즉시 흡광도를 측정하는 것으로 조사되었다. 셋째, 점토함량 정량 분석을 위해 검정선(calibration curve)을 작성하였다. 넷째, 분광광도법(spectrophotometry)으로 분석된 동일 시료의 점토함량을 표준 방법으로 알려진 피펫법(pipet method)으로 분석한 후 회귀분석을 실시하여 분광광도법으로 측정한 점토함량을 피펫법으로 분석한 결과로 환산하는 환산식을 유도하였다. 분광광도법으로 측정한 점토함량은 토양시료내에 포함된 유기물 함량과도 상관관계가 조사되어 피펫법으로 측정한 점토함량과 분광광도법으로 측정한 점토함량, 유기물 함량간의 다중 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 회귀방정식은 $y\;=\;38.03x_1-0.17x_2-1.17$(y = 피펫법으로 측정한 점토함량(%); $x_1$ = 분광광도법으로 측정한 점토함량(%); $x_2$ = 유기물 함량($g{\cdot}kg^{-1})$)이었으며, 상관계수는 $0.984^{**}$로 두 방법사이에 높은 상관관계가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 여기서 유도된 회귀방정식을 프로그램화하여 컴퓨터나 분석기기에 입력시 시간과 공간을 절약하고 신속하고 정확하게 점토함량을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

During the last two decades, indoor air quality and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been of concern in Korean society due to their nature of potential health impacts. In order to investigate the pollution levels of VOCss in indoor environments, establishment of a solid test method for monitoring the airborne VOCss is essential. In Korea, a method based on adsorbent sampling and GC analysis coupled with thermal desorption was proclaimed as the Korea Standard Method for Indoor Air Quality Test. This study was carried out to examine some inherent problems of the VOCs measurement method. The VOCs method does not describe in detail preparing the standard samples. The standard samples may be prepared by impregnation of either liquid standard solutions or a mixture of standard gases. In this study, we investigated the optimal temperature condition for transferring the liquid standards onto a standard adsorbent tube. As a result, keeping the impregnation temperature at $250^{\circ}C$ will be recommended in regard of the boiling points of multiple target analytes and the thermal stability of the adsorbent. We also demonstrated some problems associated with handling of a syringe used for transferring the standard solutions onto the adsorbent tubes, and a best way to get rid of the syringe problems was suggested. Finally, a number of field works were conducted to evaluate the performance of adsorbent sampling methods. Comparison of different adsorbent tubes, i.e. tube packed with single sorbent (Tenax) and double sorbents (Tenax with Carbotrap), revealed that 30 to 40% differences between the two groups, implying that sampling efficiency is depending on the volatility and the strength of adsorbents. However, duplicate precisions for VOCs sampling with a same type of adsorbent and at same flow rates appeared to be satisfactory to be all within 20%, which is a quality control guideline. Distributed volume precisions were also found to be within a guideline value, 25%, although the precision was in general inferior to the duplicate precision. The Korea indoor VOCs test method should be more refined and improved in many aspects, particularly procedure and instrumentation for preparing the standard samples and specification of quality control assessment.

The this study, the effect of rice husk flour (RHF) as scavenger on formaldehyde emission rate and formaldehyde content from urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin bonded RHF content wood particleboards (PB). Two type of particle size ($30{\mu}m$ and $300{\mu}m$) of RHF was premixed with the UF resin at 5% and 15% by weight. The performance of UF resins is greatly influenced by the curing characteristics in their curing processing. The curing behavior was monitored activation energy ($E_a$) by DSC and pH variation according to RHF contents. PB with dimensions of $27cm{\times}27cm{\times}0.7cm$ was prepared at a specific gravity of 0.75 using $E_1$ and $E_2$ class UF resins. Formaldehyde emission and formaldehyde content from RHF filled PB bonded with UF resin was measured by 24 h desiccator and perforator method, respectively. RHF causes an increased pH of UF resin. $E_a$ of the modified UF resin decreased independently of RHF particle size. As the pH and the $E_a$ variation of the UF resin containing RHF increased, the amount of formaldehyde content decreased. The formaldehyde emission and formaldehyde content levels of the PB bonded with 15 wt% of $30{\mu}m$ RHF and $E_2$ type UF resin were low and satisfied grade $E_1$, as measured by 24 h desiccator and perforator method. The result of a comparison between 24 h desiccator and perforator test using PB showed that the linear regression analyses show a good correlation between the results for the 24 h desiccator and the perforator tests. The linear regression of a correlation between the desiccator and the perforator was Y=4.842X-0.064 ($R^2=0.989$). RHF was effective at reducing formaldehyde emission and formaldehyde content in urea-formaldehyde adhesives when used as scavenger.

Carbon isotope ratio ($^{13}C/^{12}C$, expressed as ${\delta}^{13}C$) of tree ring can be proxy of atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration ([$CO_2$]) due to the inter-correlation between atmospheric [$CO_2$], ${\delta}^{13}C$ of atmospheric $CO_2$, and ${\delta}^{13}C$ of plant tissue that assimilates atmospheric $CO_2$. This study was conducted to investigate if ${\delta}^{13}C$ of tree ring of Pinus densiflora in polluted area may show a lower value than that in unpolluted area and to explore the possibility of reconstructing atmospheric [$CO_2$] using its relationship with ${\delta}^{13}C$ of tree ring. During the period between 1999 and 2005, ${\delta}^{13}C$ of tree annual ring tended to decrease over time, and the ${\delta}^{13}C$ in polluted area (-27.2‰ in 2009 to -28.3‰ in 2005) was significantly (P<0.001) lower than that (-26.0‰ in 1999 to -27.1‰ in 2005) in unpolluted area. This reflects a greater emission of $CO_2$ depleted in $^{13}C$ in the polluted area. Atmospheric [$CO_2$] was significantly (P<0.01) correlated with ${\delta}^{13}C$ of tree ring in a linear fashion. Using the linear regression equation, atmospheric [$CO_2$] in the polluted area was estimated to range from 392.3 ppm in 1999 to 410.9 ppm in 2005, and these values were consistently higher than the national atmospheric [$CO_2$] monitored at the Anmyoundo meteorological station (from 370.7 ppm in 1999 to 387.2 ppm in 2005). Our study suggested that it is possible to reconstruct atmospheric [$CO_2$] in a certain area using the relationship between tree ring ${\delta}^{13}C$ and atmospheric [$CO_2$].

지구과학 데이터(지오데이터)의 공간 이질성, 희소성 및 고차원성으로 인해 공간 분포 추정에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 지구과학의 많은 응용 분야에서 지오데이터의 고유 특성을 고려할 수 있는 공간 추정 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기계 학습 알고리즘 중 하나인 가우시안 혼합 모델(Gaussian Mixture Model; GMM)을 이용하여 공간 예측 방법을 제공하고자 하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위해, 옛 제련소 부지에서 휴대용 X선 형광분석기(PXRF) 및 유도결합플라즈마-원자방출분광법(ICP-AES)을 이용하여 분석된 토양 농도 자료를 활용하였다. ICP-AES를 이용해 분석된 As와 Pb를 주변수로 하고, 나머지 자료는 보조변수로 활용하였다. 다차원의 보조변수 중 중요 변수를 선별하기 위해 랜덤포레스트 기반의 변수선택법을 적용하였다. ICP-AES 및 PXRF를 통해 구축된 다변량 데이터를 사용한 GMM의 결과를 단변량 및 이변량 데이터를 사용한 정규 크리깅(Ordinary Kriging; OK) 및 정규 공동크리깅(Ordinary Co-Kriging; OCK)의 결과와 비교하였다. GMM의 결과는 OK 및 OCK의 결과보다 낮은 평균 제곱근 편차(RMSE; 비소는 최대 0.11 및 납은 0.33까지 향상)와 높은 상관관계(r; 비소는 최대 0.31 및 납은 0.46까지 향상)를 제공하였다. 이는 GMM을 사용할 경우 토양 오염의 범위 해석의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 지시한다. 본 연구는 다 변량 공간추정 접근법이 복잡하고 이질적인 지질 및 지구 화학자료의 특징을 이해하는 데 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 증명하였다.

Research on the rapid and accurate prediction of physical properties of wood using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has attracted recent attention. In this study, partial least squares analysis was performed between NIR spectra and air-dried specific gravity of five domestic conifer species including larch (Larix kaempferi), Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), red pine (Pinus densiflora), cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), and cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa). Fifty different lumbers per species were purchased from the five National Forestry Cooperative Federations of Korea. The air-dried specific gravity of 100 knot- and defect-free specimens of each species was determined by NIR spectroscopy in the range of 680-2500 nm. Spectral data preprocessing including standard normal variate, detrend and forward first derivative (gap size = 8, smoothing = 8) were applied to all the NIR spectra of the specimens. Partial least squares analysis including cross-validation (five groups) was performed with the air-dried specific gravity and NIR spectra. When the performance of the regression model was expressed as $R^2$ (coefficient of determination) and root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC), $R^2$ and RMSEC were 0.63 and 0.027 for larch, 0.68 and 0.033 for Korean pine, 0.62 and 0.033 for red pine, 0.76 and 0.022 for cedar, and 0.79 and 0.027 for cypress, respectively. For the calibration model, which contained all species in this study, the $R^2$ was 0.75 and the RMSEC was 0.37.

To observe the changes in isotopic composition (${\delta}^{15}N$) of $NO_3{^-}$ during denitrification, an incubation experiment using soil treated with nitrification inhibitor (2-chloro-6-trichloromethyl-pyridine) under water-saturated condition was conducted for 153 h. The $NO_3-N$ concentration decreased from 73.3 to $20.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ during the incubation period, with denitrification rate constant of $0.00905h^{-1}$, and ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of $NO_3-N$ increased from +0.9 to +25.5‰ with decreasing the $NO_3-N$ concentration. The increase in the ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of $NO_3-N$ is due to kinetic isotope fractionation, which always results in $^{15}N$ enrichment of the substrate. The isotopic fractionation factor calculated in this study was 1.0196, an indication that 1.96% more $^{14}NO_3{^-}$ reacted at a given time interval than a comparable number of $^{15}NO_3{^-}$. The ${\delta}^{15}N$ values measured through the incubation study showed a good agreement with the results calculated from the Fochts isotope fractionation model. Our results suggest that when the ${\delta}^{15}N$ of $NO_3{^-}$ is used for tracing the fate of N, the kinetic isotope fractionation associated with denitrification must be taken into consideration.

Calibration experiments were executed to document pertinent calibration methods for open-path infrared gas analyzer (OP-2) in field operations and to quantify their performance characteristics in continuous long-term flux measurements. Based on our results, we concluded: (1) flow rate of 2.0 L min$^{-1}$ can be used for calibration instead of the recommended 0.5 L min$^{-1}$ . Such faster flow rate brings the sampled air in the calibration hood at equilibrium within 5 min for $CO_2$ and 10 min for $H_2O$; (2) after reaching equilibrium, two-minute average sampling for related variables per each concentration may be sufficient; (3) use of four concentration is needed to derive the nonlinear calibration equation for water vapor with 1% uncertainty of flux measurement; and (4) the resultant calibration interval for OP-2 for both $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ is approximately one month.
