  • Background: The dramatic worldwide decline in the butterfly species Leptalina unicolor (Bremer & Grey) is largely the result of continuous habitat decline and disturbance by humans. The discovery of a narrow habitat in riverside wetlands utilized by L. unicolor raises the hope that such restricted key areas could be rather easily protected. Results: Here, we explain the environmental variables and habitat characteristics that primarily influence the distribution of L. unicolor discovered at the riverside areas along the Geum River. L. unicolor larvae were found at 9 of 13 study sites, and their abundance was strongly positively correlated with plant biomass. Our investigation showed that among four plant species (Miscanthus sinensis, Spodiopogon cotulifer, Setaria viridis, and Imperata cylindrica), L. unicolor larvae were the most abundant on the leaves of M. sinensis. They were not abundant on the leaves of S. cotulifer, S. viridis, or I. cylindrica. Interestingly, the number of L. unicolor larvae was positively correlated with the coverage area ($m^2$) of M. sinensis (F = 41.7, $r^2=0.74$, P < 0.0001). Conclusions: It appears that water (e.g., wetlands, ponds, and watersides) located along the riverside areas along the Geum River is important for the constant maintenance and conservation of L. unicolor. This is based on the habitat characteristics (water preference) of M. sinensis, which is used as a habitat by L. unicolor larvae. However, the waterside is dry and terrestrialization is in progress owing to the decreased water levels and water supply caused by an opened weir. Hereafter, this area will likely require management to secure a stable habitat for L. unicolor.

  • One-hundred and twenty Ischia grey rabbits, traditionally raised in pits, were equally divided after weaning (32 days) into three groups: group C, housed in cages (4 rabbits/cage) and fed a commercial concentrate; group GF, housed as C group and fed grasses collected on the island and crushed faba beans supplemented with an appropriate mineral vitamin mix; group P, housed in pits (8 rabbits/pit) and fed as GF group. Feed intake was recorded daily and live weight monthly up to slaughter (92 days). At slaughter, 10 rabbits per group were used to measure carcass and meat traits. The carcasses were weighed and measured according to the standard procedures and meat samples from the Longissimus dorsi and left hind leg were analysed for water holding capacity and chemical composition, respectively. During the entire trial, group C consumed significantly (p<0.01) a higher quantity of feed than the other groups (126.1 vs. 63.4 and 66.5 g/d, resp. for groups C, GF and P) and at slaughter showed a significantly (p<0.01) higher body weight (2,529.7 vs. 1,324.4 and 1,375.4 g, resp. for groups C, GF and P). Significant differences (p<0.01) were found also for dressing out percentage (68.6 vs. 66.6 and 66.9%, resp. for groups C, GF and P) and for meat chemical composition, in particular lipid percentage (4.13 vs. 1.84 and 1.93%, resp., for groups C, GF and P, p<0.01) and moisture (73.7 vs. 76.4 and 76.3%, resp. for groups C, GF and P, p<0.01). The results suggest the opportunity to obtain heavier animals raised in the pits if their diets were integrated with commercial feed.

  • 퇴적물 공극수의 화학적 특성과 영양분의 농도변화 및 이동특성 파악은 지표수 수질관리에 중요한 요소가 된다. 밭토양 30cm와 상등수 15cm로 구성된 microcosm을 이용하여 담수에 의한 토양 공극수 및 상등수의 화학적 특성과 영앙분의 농도변화를 6개월 동안 모니터링하였다. 담수 5주가 경과한 후 토양 색은 yellowish red에서 grey로 변하였으며 토양표면에 붉은 색의 산화층이 관찰되었다. 토양 공극수의 산화환원전위와 pH는 감소하였다. 담수에 의하여 상등수의 $NO_3^-$ 농도는 증가하고 PO_4^{3-}$ 농도는 감소하였으나 토양 공극수의 $NH_4^+$, $PO_4^{3-}$, FE, Mn 농도는 증가하였다. 상등수의 $NO_3^-$ 농도 증가는 토양에서 생성된 $NH_4^+$가 상등수로 이동 및 산화에 기인하며, 토양 공극수의 PO_4^{3-}$ 농도증가는 산화철과 산화망간의 용해에 의하여 이에 흡착되어 있던 PO_4^{3-}$가 용출됨에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. PO_4^{3-}$에 대한 흡착력이 강한 산화철과 산화망간을 많이 함유하고 있는 토양표면의 산화층은 PO_4^{3-}$의 토양으로부터 상등수로 확산을 방해하는 것으로 판단된다.

  • 선박평형수란, 선박의 균형을 유지하기 위해서 배에 채우는 바닷물을 말한다. 선박평형수를 통한 외래종 유입은 생태계 교란의 주된 원인이다. 이를 방지하기 위해 IMO(International Maritime Organization)에서는 2004년 선박평형수와 침전물 관리협약을 채택하였다. 협약이 발효될 경우 각국 항만 당국에서는 선박평형수가 협약의 성능 기준에 맞게 배출되는지 확인이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이미지처리를 통한 선박평형수 내 유해수중생물 개체수 측정 방법을 제안한다. 부산 신항에서 채취한 선박평형수로부터 3개의 샘플을 추출하였으며, 각 샘플당 서로 다른3개의 grey-scale 이미지를 만들어 실험자료로 사용하였다. 이미지처리를 이용한 자동 세포계수 프로그램인 CellProfiler를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법과 비교하였다. CellProfiler에서 사용한 설정은 사람이 직접 세포계수를 한 결과에 맞춰 경험적으로 결정하였다. 각 이미지에서 CellProfiler와 가장 유사한 결과를 보이는 최적의 임계값을 찾은 뒤 그 평균을 최종 임계값으로 사용하였다. 실험결과에서 제안한 방법은 CellProfiler와 비슷한 세포 계수 결과를 보이면서도 약 10배 정도 빠른 처리 속도를 보였다.

  • 추천천 하구 근처에 홍수퇴적물 분포 패턴을 분석하기 위해, 측면주사소나(side scan sonar) 이미지와 해저퇴적물의 특성을 수심 50 m 이하 연안지역에서 조사하였다. 소나 이미지 분석을 바탕으로 연구 지역의 해저는 기반암, 모래질펄, 홍수퇴적물 분포지역, 3개 지역으로 구분된다. 각 지역의 측면주사소사 이미지의 색상은 아주 검은 색, 비교적 밝은색, 그리고 암회색으로 표시된다. 해저퇴적물은 암회색 지역에서 자갈 33.73%, 모래 62.88%, 실트 3.37%, 점토 0.02%이고, 모래질 펄 지역에서 모래 10.31%, 실트 56.42%, 점토 33.27%로 분석되었다. 특히 암회색 지역의 퇴적물은 다량의 불에 탄 식물 조각편을 포함하고 있어 주변 연안에서 관찰할 수 있는 퇴적물과는 뚜렷한 차이를 보인다. 홍수퇴적물의 분포 형태는 추천천 하구에서 해양으로 해안선에 수직하게 분포하지 않고, 연안을 따라서 분포되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 연구 지역의 연안류의 흐름이 해저퇴적상의 공간적 분포 형태에 지배적으로 영향을 주었다.

  • This study attempted to analyze the characteristics of interior design of the apartment units of Model-houses in terms of ecological aspects. 9 companies that possessed their model houses among the construction companies in Busan area as of August 2006 were selected. 20 units in the model houses of these companies were visited and analyzed. Through literature review, the guideline for the environmentally-friendly residential design was designed and developed to the checklists. The data collected were analyzed to find out the ecological characteristics of the interior space of apartment units. The findings are the followings. First, energy efficiency was properly considered in terms of natural lighting and natural ventilation. Second, in sustainability, the materials for floors and walls could not be reused even though they were environmentally-friendly. Water system needs more improvement for sustainable development including grey-water and rain recycling system. Third, interior greening should be applied more for better environment both physically and emotionally. It is expected that future housing will be more high-risen and densely-populated apartment spaces. Therefore, an approach to new ecological aspects including an emphasis on interior greening, use of eco-materials and adhesives, water recycling and flexibility of the spatial configuration should be made for the next generation.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate integrated anaerobic hydrogen fermentation and membrane bioreactor (MBR) for on-site domestic wastewater treatment and resource recovery. A synthetic wastewater (COD 17,000 mg/L) was used as artificial brown water which will be discharged from urine diversion toilet and fed into a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) type anaerobic reactor with inclined plate. The effluent of anaerobic reactor mixed with real household grey water (COD 700 mg/L) was further treated by MBR for reuse. An optimum condition maintained in anaerobic reactor was HRT of 8 hrs, pH 5.5, SRT of 5 days and temperature of $37^{\circ}C$. COD removal of 98% was achieved from the overall system. Total gas production rate and hydrogen content was 4.6 L/day and 52.4% respectively. COD mass balance described the COD distribution in the system via reactor byproducts and effluent COD concentration. The results of this study asserts that, anaerobic hydrogen fermentation combined with MBR is a potent system in stabilizing waste strength and clean hydrogen recovery which could be implemented for onsite domestic wastewater treatment and reuse.

  • Water management treatment of coastal region has been an important problem in Jeju city since the distributions of pipeline of the pumping system made a bad view in coastal region. To solve the problem, we observed the pipelines that are on the surface around the coastal region from Tapdong to Doduhang. From the observations, we found that Todong and Dodu areas were not unsightliness because the all pipelines were located in underground. However, the other areas, such area Yongdam, Handugi, Yongdam fishing village, had a serious problem for the coastal landscape view. To solve the problem, at we estimated coastal land color characteristics of Jeju city based on the observation of the pipelines. The estimated color panel shows that the green, blue and grey colors are a dominant factors of the Jeju coastal region. Based on the color panel, we proposed two methods, that is, one is a short time treatment, the other is a long time one. The short is based on the colour treatment, which is pipeline colour changing into surround natural one. The long time is the construction plan design method. Although the later method was very useful in Jeju island. However, it takes a lot of time and money. Therefore, in the situation, the short time is the better than the long time one.
