저수지 유입량은 효율적 저수지 운영을 위해 중요한 요소로, 이는 하류 하천 등과 복합적으로 연계되기에 통합적 수자원 관리를 위해서 정확한 추정이 중요하다. 국내의 일부 저수지에서는 상류에서 유입되는 유량을 측정하고 있으나, 모든 저수지에 대해 측정하기에는 현실적 한계가 있다. 한편, 한국농어촌공사에서는 유효저수량 10만톤 이상 저수지에 대해 수위 계측기를 설치하여 수위자료를 관측하고 있으며, 이는 수위-내용적 곡선을 통해 저수량으로 변환이 가능하다. 저수량 자료가 확보되면 물수지식 기반으로 간접적으로 유입량의 추정이 가능하나, 수위가 상승하는 구간에 대해서만 적용이 가능하기에 연속적인 자료의 확보에 한계가 있다. 이 경우 불연속 유량자료를 대상으로 수문모형의 매개변수를 최적화하여 장기간 연속자료로 변환하는 것이 한 방안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 수위 기반으로 추정된 간헐적 유입량 자료를 기반으로 수문모형의 매개 변수를 최적화하여 장기유량으로 변환하고자 한다. 수문 모형과 매개변수 최적화 기법은 각각 Tank 모형과 SCE (Shuffled Complex Evolution) 기법을 이용하였다. 매개변수 최적화를 위한 목적함수는 고유량 저유량 총량 분산 관련 지표에 가중치를 부여한 다중 목적함수로 설정하였으며, 이를 통해 도출된 다양한 매개변수 후보군 중 고유량 저유량 총량 유황곡선의 유사정도가 전반적으로 일치하는 매개변수 군을 선택하였다. 본 연구 결과는 미계측 저수지 유입량을 추정할 수 있음으로써 저수지의 효율적인 물관리와 용수관리 의사결정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A sensitive technique for the determination of trace Cu(II) in various samples after the column preconcentration by adsorbing its N-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) onto benzophenone was developed. Several experimental conditions such as the pH of the sample solution, the amount of chelating agent, the amount of benzophenone, and the flowrate of sample solution and so forth were optimized. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Fe(III) and $CN^-$ interfered with more seriously than any other ions. However, the interference by these ions could be overcome sufficiently by adjusting the added volume of 0.01M BPHA to 10 mL. The dynamic range, the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) and the detection limit obtained by this proposed technique were 5.0~120 ng/mL, 0.9974, and 2.1 ng/mL, respectively. For validating this proposed technique, the aqueous samples (stream water, reservoir water, and wastewater), the plastic sample and the diluted brass sample were used. Recovery yields of 93~102% were obtained. These measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at 95% confidence level. This method was also validated by the rice flour CRM (normal, fortified) samples. Based on the results from the experiment, it was found that this proposed technique could be applied to the determination of Cu(II) in various real samples.

This paper presents the design features and preliminary design analysis results of the Wielenga Innovation Static Salt Reactor (WISSR). The WISSR incorporates features that make it both flexible and inherently safe. It is based on innovative technology that controls a nuclear reactor by moving molten salt fuel into or out of the core. The reactor is a low-pressure, fast spectrum transuranic (TRU) burner reactor. Inherent shutdown is achieved by a large negative reactivity feedback of the liquid fuel and by the expansion of fuel out of the core. The core is made of concentric, thin annular fuel chambers containing molten fuel salt. A molten salt coolant passes between the concentric fuel chambers to cool the core. The core has both fixed and variable volume fuel chambers. Pressure, applied by helium gas to fuel reservoirs below the core, pushes fuel out of a reservoir and up into a set of variable volume chambers. A control system monitors the density and temperature of the fuel throughout the core. Using NaCl-(TRU,U)Cl₃ fuel and NaCl-KCl-MgCl₂ coolant, a road-transportable compact WISSR core design was developed at a power level of 1250 MWt. Preliminary neutronics and thermal-hydraulics analyses demonstrate the technical feasibility of WISSR.

The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the developed Fuzzy control techniques in dam operation. The simulated results for the 1984, 1990, and 1995 flood events are compared with historical operation results in the view of flood control and disaster prevention. The three models developed in this study determine the outflows based on the two conditions the first one is to consider only two inputs such as reservoir water level and inflow, for operation of the existing situations, the second one is that the possible maximum discharge from each dam does not exceed the allowable design maximum discharge for disaster prevention in downstream area. As the results, it was shown that the suggested models based on Fuzzy control technique could reduce both the peak water level and the maximum peak discharge compared with the historical operation results.

This study analyzed the propagation of dam-break waves in an area directly downstream of a dam by using 3D numerical modeling with RANS as the governing equation. In this area, the flow of the waves has three dimensional characteristics due to the instantaneous dam break. In particular, the dam-break flows are characterized by a highly unsteady and discontinuous flow, a mixture of the sharp flood waves and their reflected waves, a mixture of subcritical and supercritical flow, and propagation in a dry and movable bed. 2D numerical modeling, in which the governing equation is the shallow water equation, was regarded as restricted in terms of dealing with the sharp fluctuation of the water level at the dam-breaking point and water level vibration at the reservoir. However, in this 30 analysis of flood wave propagation due to partial dam breaking and dam-break in channels with $90^{\circ}$ bend, those phenomena were properly simulated. In addition, the flood wave and bed profiles in a movable bed with a flat/upward/downward bed step, which represents channel aggradation or degradation, was also successfully simulated.

The causative agent for the tunic softness syndrome of the cultured ascidian Halocynthia roretzi from Jan 1999 to Feb 2009 was identified using virus isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The pathogenicity of the isolated virus MABV UR-1 strain was determined by experimental infection trials. The cytopathic effects was observed in CHSE-214 cell line at a level 5.1% (4/78) in normal ascidian and 1.8% in abnormal ascidian showing tunic softness syndrome signs. MABV gene was detected in 16.8% (18/107) of normal and 13.1% (5/38) of abnormal organisms by PCR. The ratio of MABV isolation and gene detection was similar level in normal and soft tunic diseased ascidian. Based on the VP2/NS junction region sequences, eight strains of virus isolated from ascidian, were included in the same genogroup with MABV which is originally isolated in wide ranges of marine fish and shellfish species. The UR-1 strain caused 60% mortality (36.5% mortality in control group) by immersion infection and 37% mortality (same mortality in control group) in injection infection indicating no significant differences in infected and control groups. These results suggest that ascidian can act as reservoir of the MABV, and this virus is not directly related with the ascidian mortality.

In this study, we developed the assessment method that evaluate the water demand management and calculate the water saving volume using water use indicator, and developed the system to link the water saving volume that occur through demand management and water supply and demand. The results from this study, local governments with poor water conditions should be followed to improve the water supply. And, future water demand estimates should be even considering it. We calculated the water saving volume of the Geum River basin using K-WEAP (Korea-Water Evaluation And Planning System) and performed the water budget analysis. We found that the change of river flow, ground water level and reservoir water level, and it can be utilized for other demand.

농업용저수지는 이수 목적으로 비홍수기 농업용수 공급을 위한 용수 확보를 주요 목적으로 하고 있다. 한편, 농업용저수지가 홍수조절능력 또한 지니고 있음이 다수의 연구를 통해 제기되고 있으며, 이에 치수 목적으로 홍수기 홍수피해 저감을 위한 치수 대책 또한 수립할 필요가 있다. 현재 우리나라 농업용저수지의 홍수기 운영은 제한수위 방식을 기준으로 하되 필요에 따라 예비방류를 허용하는 조합 형태를 취하고 있다. 이러한 운영 방식은 홍수기 이후 상시만수위로 복귀하지 못하면 해당 년도 잔여 비홍수기 혹은 다음 년도 영농 시작 시기의 농업용수 공급에 차질이 생길 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 홍수기 농업용저수지의 운영은 홍수조절과 함께 상시만수 위로의 복귀를 동시에 고려하여 이루어질 필요가 있다. 가변 홍수기 제한수위 (Variable Restricted Water Level, VRWL) 방식은 홍수 발생빈도와 규모를 고려하여 단위기간별 (일별 혹은 순별) 제한수위를 차등 부여하는 방식으로, 한정된 저수공간의 효율적 재할당에 따라 이수와 치수의 효율을 증대시키는 방안이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 농업용저수지를 대상으로 저수지 유입량 빈도해석을 수행하고 순별 가변 홍수기 제한수위를 산정한 후 가변 홍수기 제한수위 적용에 따른 홍수조절효과를 평가하고자 한다. 연구대상지는 전국 110개 둑높이기 농업용저수지 중 가능최대홍수량 대상저수지 (유역면적 2,500 ha 이상, 총 저수량 500만 톤 이상) 12개소로 선정하였고, 저수지별 기상자료와 지형자료를 구축하였다. 저수지 유입량 모의를 위하여 장기유출량 산정 모형인 TANK를 이용하였으며, 구축된 저수지 유입량 자료를 토대로 순별 유입량 빈도해석을 수행하고 홍수기 저수지 유입량의 이론적 확률분포형을 선정하였다. 선정된 확률분포형을 토대로 초과확률 10%에 따른 순별 저수지 수위로서 가변 홍수기 제한수위를 산정하였다. 산정된 가변홍수기 제한수위 적용 효과를 분석하기 위하여 홍수조절용량을 산정하였고, 유역비 홍수량을 지표로 하여 홍수조절능력을 평가하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 둑높이기 농업용저수지의 홍수기 제한수위 설정 및 관리, 운영 지침 개선에 있어 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the present study, a methodology for developing fragilities of arch concrete dams to assess their performance against seismic hazards is introduced. Firstly, the probability risk and fragility curves are presented, followed by implementation and representation of the way this method is used. Amirkabir arch concrete dam was subjected to non-linear dynamic analyses. A modified three dimensional rotating smeared crack model was used to take the nonlinear behavior of mass concrete into account. The proposed model considers major characteristics of mass concrete. These characteristics are pre-softening behavior, softening initiation criteria, fracture energy conservation, suitable damping mechanism and strain rate effect. In the present analysis, complete fluid-structure interaction is included to account for appropriate fluid compressibility and absorptive reservoir boundary conditions. In this study, the Amirkabir arch concrete dam is subjected to a set of 8 three-component earthquakes each scaled to 10 increasing intensity levels. Using proposed nonlinear smeared crack model, nonlinear analysis is performed where the structure is subjected to a large set of scaled and un-scaled ground motions and the maximum responses are extracted for each one and plotted. Based on the results, fragility curves were plotted according to various and possible damages indexes. Discrete damage probabilities were calculated using statistical methods for each considered performance level and incremental nonlinear analysis. Then, fragility curves were constructed based on the lognormal distribution assumption. Two damage indexes were introduced and compared to one another. The results indicate that the dam has a proper stability under earthquake conditions at MCE level. Moreover, displacement damages index is more conservative and impractical in the fragility analysis than tensional damage index.

Bats serve as vectors and natural reservoir hosts for various infectious viruses, bacteria, and fungi. These pathogens have also been detected in bat feces and can cause severe illnesses in hosts, other animals, and humans. Because pathogens can easily spread into the environment through bat feces, determining the bacterial communities in bat guano is crucial to mitigate potential disease transmission and outbreaks. This study primarily aimed to examine bacterial communities in the feces of insectivorous bats living in South Korea. Fecal samples were collected after capturing 84 individuals of four different bat species in two regions of South Korea, and the bacterial microbiota was assessed through next generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The results revealed that, with respect to the relative abundance at the phylum level, Myotis bombinus was dominated by Firmicutes (47.24%) and Proteobacteria (42.66%) whereas Miniopterus fuliginosus (82.78%), Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (63.46%), and Myotis macrodactylus (78.04%) were dominated by Proteobacteria. Alpha diversity analysis showed no difference in abundance between species and a significant difference (p < 0.05) between M. bombinus and M. fuliginosus. Beta-diversity analysis revealed that Clostridium, Asaia, and Enterobacteriaceae_g were clustered as major factors at the genus level using principal component analysis. Additionally, linear discriminant analysis effect size was conducted based on relative expression information to select bacterial markers for each bat species. Clostridium was relatively abundant in M. bombinus, whereas Mycoplasma_g10 was relatively abundant in R. ferrumequinum. Our results provide an overview of bat guano microbiota diversity and the significance of pathogenic taxa for humans and the environment, highlighting a better understanding of preventing emerging diseases. We anticipate that this research will yield bioinformatic data to advance our knowledge of overall microbial genetic diversity and clustering characteristics in insectivorous bat feces in South Korea.
