This study was to introduce a methodology of ecological health assessment for efficient management and to provide some diagnostic results of the survey. We evaluated ecological health assessment at five sampling locations of Sikjang Mountainous Stream using the index of biological integrity (IBI) and Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) during May - October 2006. The health condition, based on the IBI model, averaged 32 and varied from 27 to 37 depending on the sampling sites. Thus, the stream health was judged as "good" to "fair" conditions. IBI values showed slight differences between upstream and downstream sites. Whereas, QHEI values varied from 75 (fair condition) to 196 (excellent condition) and QHEI at St. 4~5, indicating the downstream reach had significantly lower than the headwater site (St.1). Regression analyses also showed that QHEI values had a linear decrease from the headwater to downstream. This result indicated that habitat quality was rapidly degradated by human influence. Overall, data of IBI and QHEI suggested that the stream health was maintained well in the present but the habitat and biological quality were partially degradated in the downstream. So, the human interference should be minimized to protect the downstream environment.

The nation is currently deeply dissatisfied with the corruption of power. The incumbent government promised to create a fair society without fouls and privileges. However, the public is deeply distrusted by the prosecution's investigation of the justice minister. Korean society has very low national integrity due to corruption in public offices. In the past, corruption in public offices was mostly corruption in the form of livelihood, but it has now turned into corruption in power. This paper looks into the concept and theory of corruption in public office and tries to find alternatives.

This study was performed to verify the possibility of the integrity estimation of the bridge substructure focusing on the dynamic property change of concrete pier with penetration depths using experimental modal analysis. As a result of the impact vibration test, it is found that scour reduces the stiffness of the foundation, and measurement the accelerance residue and natural frequency can be used for the estimation of the integrity index.

In this study, we applied 10-metric health assessment model, based on the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) during 2006 in the Changwon Stream, which is located in the Changwon city, Gyeongnam province, S. Korea, and then compared with water quality data. The Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) in the Changwon Stream varied from 18 to 38 in the watershed depending on the sampling location and averaged 30.3 (n=6) during the study. Analysis of tolerance guilds showed that the proportion of sensitive species was 13%, but tolerant and intermediate species were 34% and 53%, respectively. Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) averaged 43.3 (range: 65-104, n=6) indicating non-supporting condition, based on the criteria of U.S. EPA (1993). Values of QHEI showed a typical longitudinal decreases from the headwater reach to the downstream location, except for Site 1 with a low QHEI value by artificial habitat by concrete construction. Minimum QHEI was found in Site 4 where fish diversity was minimal. Conductivity increased continuously along the gradients and especially showed abrupt increases in the downstream sites along with turbidity. Stream ecosystem health of IBI matched to the values of QHEI except for S6. Low IBI values in the sites 4 and 5 was considered to be a result of combined effects of chemical pollutions and habitat degradations. Our results support the hypotheses of Plafkin et ai. (1989) that physical habitat quality directly influences the trophic structure and species richness, and is closely associated with IBI values.

Background: Previous studies on the biological integrity on habitat and landuse patterns demonstrated ecological stream health in the view of regional or macrohabitat scale, thus ignored the mesoscale habitat patterns of pool, riffle, and runs in the stream health analysis. The objective of this study was to analyze influences on the mesohabitat structures of pool, riffle, and run reaches on the fish guilds and biological integrity in Geum-River Watershed. Results: The mesohabitat structures of pool, riffle, and run reaches influenced the ecological stream health along with some close relations on the fish trophic and tolerance guilds. The mesoscale components altered chemical water quality such as nutrients (TN, TP) and BOD and these, then, determined the primary productions, based on the sestonic chlorophyll-a. The riffle-reach had good chemical conditions, but the pool-reach had nutrient enrichments. The riffle-reach had a predominance of insectivores, while the pool-reach has a predominance of omnivores. Also, the riffle-reach had high proportions of sensitive fish and insectivore fish, and the pool-reach had high proportions of tolerant species in the community composition. The intermediate fish species in tolerance and omnivorous fish species in the food linkage dominated the community in the watershed, and the sensitive and insectivorous fishes decreased rapidly with a degradation of the water quality. All the habitat patterns were largely determined by the land-use patterns in the watershed. Conclusions: Trophic guilds and tolerance guilds of fish were determined by land-use pattern and these determined the stream health, based on the Index of Biological Integrity. This study remarks the necessity to include additional variables to consider information provided by mesohabitats and land-use distributions within the selected stream stretch. Overall, our data suggest that land-use pattern and mesohabitat distribution are important factors to be considered for the trophic and tolerance fish compositions and chemical gradients as well as ecological stream health in the watershed.

Bentic macroinvertebrate and fish fauna were investigated from September 2008 to October 2009 in the middle reach of the Suyoung river in Busan. During the survey period benthic macroinvertebrates were collected total 35 species at the three sites (Hanmul-gyo, Dongcheon-gyo, Seokdae Jct.) of Suyoung river. At that sites, species diversity index was 1.9, 1.5, 1.6, dominance index was 0.75, 0.81, 0.86 and Korean Saprobic Index (KSI) was 1.8(B), 4.4(D), 4.4(D) on average, respectively. Dominant species was Caenis Kua, Chironomidae sp., at Hanmul-gyo site and Limnodrilus gotoi, Chironomidae sp., at Dongcheon-gyo and Seokdae Jct. sites. Fish fauna was also investigated at the two sites (Hanmul-gyo and Seokdae Jct.) of Suyoung river. Total caught fishes were 10 species 32 individuals in the first survey and 6 species 26 individuals in the second survey. Dominant species was Carassius auratus in the both surveys. Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) value was C grade at the Hanmul-gyo and D grade at the Seokdae Jct.

본 논문에서는 무결성 제약을 효율적으로 유지하기 위한 접근 경로인 Hashed B-트리를 제안하고, 기존의 B-트라와 성능을 비교한다. 무결성 제약을 만족시키기 위해 필요한 질의 패턴들이 종점 질의로 구성되어 있다는 점에 착안하여, Hashed B-트리는 키를 해슁을 통해 압축하여 저장한다. 따라서 트리의 높이가 줄어들게 되고 트리의 탐색이 빠르다. 이 기법은 기존의 B-트리와 유사하게 작동하기 때문에 기존 시스템에 많은 수정을 요하지 않고 병행성 제어나 회복 기법을 그대로 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

To ensure the safety and functionality of a railroad bridge, maintaining the integrity of the bridge via continuous structural health monitoring is important. However, most structural integrity monitoring methods proposed to date are based on modal responses which require the extracting process and have limited availability. In this paper, the applicability of the existing damage identification method based on free-vibration reponses to time-domain deflection shapes due to moving train load is investigated. Since the proposed method directly utilizes the time-domain responses of the structure due to the moving vehicles, the extracting process for modal responses can be avoided, and the applicability of structural health evaluation can be enhanced. The feasibility of the presented method is verified via a numerical example of a simple plate girder bridge.

본 연구는 생물학적 보전지수(IBI, Index of Biotic Integrity) 평가와 이화학적 수질 분석, 물리적 서식지 평가(QHEI, Qualitative habitate evaluation index)를 이용하여 하천 건강성을 평가하고자 남천의 10개 지점을 대상으로 2006년 8월과 2006년 11월, 2007년 2월, 2007년 4월까지 총 4회에 걸쳐 부착규조 조사를 실시하였다. IBI, QHEI값을 산정하기 위하여 USEPA(1999) 가 제시한 항목 중 우리나라의 환경적 특성에 맞게 수정 보안하여 사용하여 평가하였다. 남천의 하천 생태 건강도 평가 결과, IBI 등급은 '보통', QHEI등급은 '열악', BOD값에 의거한 이화학적 수질등급은 II등급 기준인 '약간좋음'으로 나타나 총체적인 하천생태계 건강도는 '보통'상태로 나타났다. 이는 수 환경에 대한 교란은 적고 생물들이 서식하기에 비교적 양호한 수질임을 시사한다. 정점별로는 St. 6과 St. 7, St. 8, St. 9는 물리적 서식지 지수가 가장 '열악'한 상태로 대부분이 하천의 흐름을 방해하는 교각이나 인공보가 곳곳에 설치되어 있으며, 하상구조가 대부분 단순화되어 있어 수생태계 심각한 교란이 예상되는 정점이다. 또한 St. 10은 전체적으로 서식 환경은 좋으나 생활하수 유입과 함께 하수종말처리장으로부터 배출되는 영양염으로 인한 수생태계의 교란을 초래할 것으로 예상되므로 추후 영양염 유입에 대한 관리가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
