Public consent is essential to proceed with large-scale projects such as dam and hydroelectric power plant in the Carbon Neutral Era. In general, when designing facilities such as dams and river facilities, the impact due to constructing them is analyzed through numerical simulation in advance. Those facilities are built to cope with floods and usually HEC-RAS is used for numerical simulation in this process. The numerical simulation provides accurate data, but it is very difficult to persuade the public only with the data. Therefore, this study intends to consider the utilization of metaverse in the field of urban flooding and flood response. The applicability of metaverse was confirmed by emphasizing visual effects and providing easy-to-see data, using a kind of metaverse platform called Cities: Skylines. The functions and limitations of this platform were reviewed. A virtual flood scenario was applied after implementing real cities on a metaverse. The hazard map established in Korea and the results of applying the scenario of metaverse platform were compared. On the metaverse, not only the disaster situation caused by realizing the city and society as it is, but also the spread of social disasters after the disaster can be confirmed. Through this, countermeasures can be virtually implemented. If these social and humanistic data are also verified in the future, it is expected that the overall process for responding to urban flooding can be modeled.

댐 건설은 하천의 유황, 유사량을 변화시켜 이·치수 및 생태계에 영향을 미치고 있다. 그러나 현재 댐 운영에 사용하고 있는 하천 기본계획은 10년마다 수립하고 있어 하천 지형 측량자료, 식생 및 수생태를 고려한 하천 관리 계획은 대부분 과거자료이다. 또한 홍수소통에 영향을 미치는 하도식생에 대한 연구가 거의 없어 최근 기후변화로 인해 빈번하게 발생하는 홍수 등 물재해에 적극적 대응이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 최신의 하천 기초조사 자료 기반, '20년 댐 하류하천에 홍수가 발생한 4개 댐(대청, 합천, 용담, 섬진강댐)을 대상으로 하상변동, 식생 영향 등을 고려한 댐 직하류 하천관리방안을 마련하는 연구를 진행하였다. 최신 하천 기초조사 자료 확보를 위해 하천기본계획 등 문헌정보를 수집하고 댐 직하류의 수중부·육상부 측량, 유사량·하상재료 조사, 식생조사, 홍수흔적조사 등을 실시하였다. 확보한 기초자료를 바탕으로 하상변동 분석 모델 및 물리적 서식처 모의 모델을 통해 이수, 치수, 생태 측면으로 분석을 진행하였다. 이수 분석으로 HEC-RAS의 유사이송 분석을 통해 현재부터 20년 뒤의 하상변동을 분석하였다. 치수 분석으로 HEC-RAS 2D 등의 유사이송 분석을 사용하여 한 개의 홍수기 사상 발생 시 하상변동을 분석하였으며, 식생의 유무가 하상변동에 미치는 영향을 함께 분석하였다. 생태 분석으로는 PHABSIM을 사용하여 대상어종에 대한 하상변동 및 식생 유무에 따른 환경생태영향의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 바탕으로 각 대상 댐 직하류에 이수, 치수, 생태 측면의 하천관리방안을 수립하였다. 이수 분석을 통해 20년 뒤의 취양수장의 제약수위를 예측, 검토하고 취약구간 모니터링 구간을 산정하였다. 또한 침식과 퇴적이 크게 일어나는 구간을 산정하여 장·단기 하상변동 모니터링 구간을 제시하였다. 치수 분석을 통해 식생이 댐 하류에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 식생 저감 구간을 선정하는 등 적정 식생 밀도 조절 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 하상변동량이 큰 구간은 하상 안정 유지를 위한 수제 설치를 모델 결과를 통해 검토하였으며 제방 정비가 필요한 구간은 드론을 활용한 모니터링을 제안하였다. 생태 분석을 통해 대상 어종이 서식하기 가장 적합한 환경생태유량을 산정하고 댐 하류 하천의 자연성 회복을 위한 증가방류, 유사환원 등의 방안을 검토하였다.

This study was performed to compare the dietary intake and food sources of zinc (Zn), using a database of Zn composition developed in this study, between elementary schoolchildren in a remote rural area (RA, n=58, $9.9{\pm}1.7\;yrs$) and those in an urban area (UA, n=60, $9.4{\pm}1.8\;yrs$) in Chungnam province in Korea. A dietary survey for three days by food record method was performed. All kinds of foods (n=273) consumed by subjects were collected by aliquot sampling method, and the Zn content of these foods were analyzed by wet technique. The results showed that the daily mean intakes of energy, calcium, iron, and vitamin C from diet in the RA were in the range of 49-88% of the Korean DRI (KDRI), while those in the UA were similar to or greater than the KDRI, except for calcium and iron. The daily mean intake of Zn from the RA diet was $7.0{\pm}0.5\;mg/d$ ($114.1{\pm}8.4%$ of the KDRI), and $16.0{\pm}1.0\;mg/d$ ($258.3{\pm}16.3%$ of the KDRI) in that of the UA (p<0.001). The percentage of dietary intake of Zn less than 2/3 of the KDRI was 19.0% in the RA, in comparison to 1.7% in the UA. Those in the RA consumed Zn from plant foods more often than did those in the UA (p<0.001). Beef rib stew was the food source with highest Zn amount for the total subjects, followed by beef rib meat, roasted; and beef soup w/seasoned red pepper sauce. These results showed that some children in the RA had poor Zn nutrition based upon low intakes and poor food sources of Zn, while overall, children in the UA had good Zn nutrition. Therefore, those in RAs should have their Zn nutrition improved through government policy and nutrition education.

In this study, a methodology is developed for flood runoff analysis considering the interaction between interior floodplain and channel. Riparian lowland is modeled as storage areas by HEC-RAS and is connected with main channel through gravity drainage structure and pumping stations. As a result, we were able to compute the difference between runoff into the interior floodplain and delayed runoff to main channel from interior floodplain. This allowed us to compute the storage change in the interior floodplain and corresponding inundation areas. Furthermore, the levee is modeled as a lateral structure and the flood from the main channel to interior floodplain is modeled by installing a weir on top of it. In addition, levee breach is also modeled so that flooding from main channel to interior floodplain can be considered. Computed flooding depth in the storage areas are compared with elevation to identify the inundated areas and flood maps can then be produced for a desired time or for the extent of flooding given a flooding depth. Output from this modeling effort can provide many useful information for flood planning such as flow depth in main channel, flooding depth and area in interior floodplain. The method was applied to Sapgyo river basin and the comparison with observed flood events showed that it can reproduce the observation fairly well, hence proving the utility of the method.

This study aims to evaluate for flood stage on vegetated patterns by clearance space rate (CSR) using the numerical models divided into large, medium and small river in river scales with watershed area or design flood discharge. Using the HEC-RAS (1D) and RMA-2 (2D) numerical models, evaluated results of the design flood stages before vegetated modeling of these rivers which CSR in the 1D are obtained over 100% at all points in large river and medium river of except upper part 2 sections, but small river is showed about average 46.0%. It is judge that evaluated results in the 2D are obtained average 101.5% in large river, 96.7% in medium river, 71.1% in small, respectively and because of 1D mainly used to formulate of the river's master plan. However, after vegetated modeling, CSR in case of 1D showed with 91.8% in large river, 74.2% and 38.3% in medium and small rivers, respectively and 2D showed with 95.5% in large river, 86.72 and 37.0% in medium and small rivers, respectively. It is estimate that evaluated results using the 2 numerical models by the vegetated modeling are less affected the CSR for large river in a large area more than the cross section area in medium and small rivers.

EDue to climate change and urbanization, the localized heavy rainfall frequently exceeded a design storm rainfall and flood damage has occurred in South Korea. The concept of addressing sustainable river management and environmental and social issues through Nature-based Solutions (NbS) is gaining attention as it seeks to resolve these issues through ecosystem services. Therefore, in this study, the flood reduction effect by river management using NbS was quantitatively analyzed for the Hwang River, which is directly downstream of Hapcheon Dam, South Korea. Floodplain excavation and dyke relocation, which are methods of the NbS, were applied to the flood risk area of the Hwang River. As a result of analyzing the flood level of the river through the unsteady flow analysis of HEC-RAS, we obtained flood level reduction by 8 cm at the confluence of the Nakdong River. The results of this study can be expected to be sufficiently utilized as a basis for use as a management plan through NbS rather than the river management with grey infrastructure.

This study analyzed morphological changes in the Singwangcheon and Naengcheon streams in Pohang caused by flooding due to Typhoon Hinnamnor. Analysis of the changes in river channel area from the past to recent times using aerial photos and drone-taken images showed that the river width had gradually decreased since the 1960s. However, after the flood, the river width increased again. Changes in the river cross-section before and after the flood show that a large amount of coarse sediment was deposited inside the river bend while the outer bank was eroded. The water levels calculated using HEC-RAS for the pre-flood cross-section based on the flood frequency discharges and estimated discharge from Oer Reservoir were significantly lower than the observed water level, which means that the cross-sectional change was not considered. The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to consider cross-sectional changes due to sediment transport when estimating the flood level of small and medium-sized mountain streams, and it is needed to investigate the geomorphic changes after floods.

In recent times, the sharp increase in extreme flood damages due to climate change has posed a challenge to effectively address flood-related issues solely relying on conventional flood management infrastructure. In response to this problem, this study aims to consider the effectiveness of nature-based flood management approaches, specifically levee retreat and relocation. To achieve this, we utilized a 1D numerical model, HEC-RAS, to analyze the flood reduction effects concerning floodwater levels, flow velocities, and time-dependent responses to a 100-year frequency flood event. The analysis results revealed that the effect of creating a flood buffer zone of the nature-based solution extends from upstream to downstream, reducing flood water levels by up to 30 cm. The selection of the flow roughness coefficient in consideration of the nature-based flood buffer space creation characteristics should be based on precise criteria and scientific evidence because it is sensitive to the flood control effect analysis results. Notably, floodwater levels increased in some expanded floodplain sections, and the reduction in flow velocities varied depending on the ratio of the expanded cross-sectional area. In conclusion, levee retreat and floodplain expansion are viable nature-based alternatives for effective flood management. However, a comprehensive design approach is essential considering flood control effects, flow velocity reduction, and the timing of peak water levels. This study offers insights into addressing the challenges of climate-induced extreme flooding and advancing flood management strategies.

Background : Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 regulates non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting IGF-mediated signaling pathways. To have better strategies for the treatment of lung cancer, we analyzed the combining effects of adenovirus expressing IGFBP-3 (Ad5CMV-BP3) and SCH66336, a farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI) designed to block Ras-mediated proliferative signaling pathways. Methods : To measure the combining effects of Ad5CMV-BP3 and SCH66336 on the proliferation of NSCLC cells, human NSCLC cell lines (H1299, H596, A549, H460, and H358), SCH66336, recombinant adenovirus expressing IGFBP-3 (Ad5CMV-BP3) and athymic nude mice were used in these experiments. Results : The combination of Ad5CMV-BP3 and SCH66336 produced a synergistic enhancement in antiproliferative effects over a range of clinically achievable concentrations in a variety of NSCLC cell lines. Furthermore, we observed a significant reduction in growth of NSCLC xenograft induced in athymic nude mice. Conclusion : In conclusion, this study demonstrated for the first time that the FTI SCH66336 synergizes with IGFBP-3 and enhances its apoptotic activity in NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. The combined treatment of Ad5CMV-BP3 and SCH66336 raises the possibility of using this regimen in clinic for the treatment of NSCLC.

Today, design is not free from fashion, which emerges and vanishes temporarily, and aims at equalization. As a result, products quickly become obsolete because of fashion. This means that the span of products is determined by a social concept, which is not clarified, regardless of their functions. Usable products will gradually disappear from us and it will cause serious environmental problems, unless we can find out measures against fashion. As such, it is important to study the characteristics of the shaker's design in this circumstance. The Shaker's community has a distinguishable difference from other general societies. Temporary fashion and misled information cannot interfere with their consciousness. Religion, the life and the principle of design have developed on the same level in their community. Especially, any decoration or the difference of materials is not allowed in shaker's design. It reflects their thinking that all people are equal in the sight of God. Therefore, any decoration for social and economical superiority can not be used. Through this consciousness, they can be free from fashion or decoration. They, also, believe that they can reach perfection through practicality and simplicity. The reason why shaker's design is not disturbed by fashion is that their belief is involved in their design. Consequently, if religious or conscious contents are primarily set up, design can be free from fashion and products can be used for a long time.
