Permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, has been widely used to protect domestic animals and the public health, as well as in agriculture against a variety of pests, which provides potential for environmental exposure. Permethrin is classified as possible human carcinogen and endocrine disrupting chemical by many international authorities. However, its developmental effects have been rarely studied. This study investigated the effects of permethrin during embryo-genesis. Developmental toxicity of permethrin was evaluated using short-term in vitro battery system. Gestation day 9.5 rat embryos (organogenesis) were cultured with permethrin (0.1,0.4 and 0.8 mg/ml) for 48 hours using whole embryo culture system. All the treatments exhibited significant decreases in the total morphological score. Permethrin induced significant growth retardation and the developmental abnormality at doses of 0.4 and 0.8 mg/ml. Moreover, the DNA and protein contents of embryos decreased in dose-dependent manner. These observations suggest that permethrin contributes to toxicity on embryonic developments in rats.

The processes of regional scales in the East Korean coastal waters were investigated by analysis of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images taken by the European Research Satellites ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat. More than 500 quick look frames taken in 1991-2003 were examined to detect the frames with clearly surface expressions of oceanic phenomena. 26 ERS-1/2 SAR and 11 Envisat wide swath Advanced SAR (ASAR) frames were selected and obtained from the European Space Agency in a form of the precision high-resolution images. The following oceanic phenomena and processes were evident in the radar imagery through the Korean costal waters: fronts, currents, eddies, internal waves, island and ship wakes, oil pollution, etc. They manifested themselves in the field of sea surface roughness, their scale ranged from several tens meters to about 100 km. The most common morphology of these phenomena was a series of contrast dark or light curvilinear lines and bands. The joint analysis of the discussed SAR images with other satellite and in situ data supported and enhanced our interpretation of SAR signatures.

A sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) operated with a cycle of anaerobic - aerobic - anoxic - aerobic has been evaluated for the nutrient removal characteristics. The sponge-like moving media was filled to about 10% of reactor volume. The sewage was the major substrate while external synthetic carbon substrate was added to the anoxic stage to enhance the nitrogen removal. The operational results indicated that maximum T-N and T-P removal efficiencies were 97% and 94%, respectively were achieved, while COD removal of 92%. The observations of significant nitrogen removal in the first aerobic stage indicated that nitrogen removal behaviour in this SBBR was different to conventional SBR. Although the reasons for aerobic nitrogen removal has speculated to either simultaneous nitrification and denitrification or anoxic denitrification inside of the media, further researches are required to confirm the observation. The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) test with biofilm and suspended growth sludge indicated that biofilm in SBBR played a major role to remove substrates.

Recently, ESA (European Space Agency) has launched CryoSAT-2 for polar ice observations. CryoSAT-2 is equipped with a SIRAL (SAR/interferometric radar altimeter), which is a high spatial resolution radar altimeter. Conventional altimeters cannot measure a precise three-dimensional ground position because of the large footprint diameter, while SIRAL altimeter system accomplishes a precise three-dimensional ground positioning by means of interferometric synthetic aperture radar technique. In this study, we developed an efficient SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique to measure a precise three-dimensional ground position. We first simulated SIRAL SARIn RAW data for the ideal target by assuming the flat Earth and linear flight track, and second accessed the precision of three-dimensional geopositioning achieved by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of 1) azimuth processing that determines the squint angle from Doppler centroid, and 2) range processing that estimates the look angle from interferometric phase. In the ideal case, the precisions of look and squint angles achieved by the proposed algorithm were about -2.0 ${\mu}deg$ and 98.0 ${\mu}deg$, respectively, and the three-dimensional geopositioning accuracy was about 1.23 m, -0.02 m, and -0.30 m in X, Y and Z directions, respectively. This means that the SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique enables to measure the three-dimensional ground position with the precision of several meters.

The Wooden Seated Amitabha Buddha Triad and Altarpiece have not been the subjects of definitive species identification and scientific analysis. In this study, visual investigation, portable X-ray fluorescence (p-XRF), species identification, and lacquer layer observations were carried out to determine the original materials and conservation status. Cracks, exfoliation and discoloration were detected during the visual investigation. The p-XRF data indicated that chrome oxide green, malachite, gold, cadmium red, cinnabar, minium, hematite, lead white, ink stick (Carbon), and copper were used for pigments and the coronet accessory. Tilia spp., Abies spp., and Pinus spp. were identified from both the Buddha Triad and Altarpiece. Finally, lacquer layer analyses of the base layer, lacquer layer, orange pigment layer, and gold leaf layer observed modern synthetic pigments likely used in previous conservation. As the Korean Cultural Heritage Charter and the International Charter for the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites clearly state that objects of cultural heritage must be conserved using their original materials, future conservation of these objects should utilize the data obtained in this study to employ traditional materials. Furthermore, a deterioration map diagnosis can be applied together with the obtained analysis data to understand the conservation status of and inform an appropriate and authentic conservation treatment for the Buddha Triad and Altarpiece.

The ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI) scheme is a sub-optimal alternative to the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with a reduced computational demand making it potentially more suitable for operational applications. Since only one model is integrated forward instead of an ensemble of model realizations, online estimation of the background error covariance matrix is not possible in the EnOI scheme. In this study, we investigate two Gaussian noise based ensemble generation strategies to produce dynamic covariance matrices for assimilation of water level observations into a distributed hydrological model. In the first approach, spatially correlated noise, sampled from a normal distribution with a fixed fractional error parameter (which controls its standard deviation), is added to the model forecast state vector to prepare the ensembles. In the second method, we use an adaptive error estimation technique based on the innovation diagnostics to estimate this error parameter within the assimilation framework. The results from a real and a set of synthetic experiments indicate that the EnOI scheme can provide better results when an optimal EnKF is not identified, but performs worse than the ensemble filter when the true error characteristics are known. Furthermore, while the adaptive approach is able to reduce the sensitivity to the fractional error parameter affecting the first (non-adaptive) approach, results are usually worse at ungauged locations with the former.

안트라센 유도체-합성DNA의 결합형태를 여러 가지 분광학적인 방법들을 통해서 알아보았다. Methylamine과 methylethylenediamine, 즉, 길이가 다른 곁사슬을 가지는 안트라센 유도체들이 poly[d(A-T)2]와 $poly[d(G-C)_2]$의 이중나선에 결합했을 때의 분광학적인 특성은 흡광, 원편광스펙트럼에서 봉우리의 장파장으로 이동, 흡광도의 감소를 볼 수 있으며, 선편광스펙트럼에서는 DNA흡광 영역에서 강한 음의 봉우리가 나타나는 것으로 요약할 수 있다. 이러한 현상들은 안트라센·유도체들이 위의 두 가지 DNA의 염기쌍 사이에 삽입이 되어있다는 것을 증명한다. 곁사슬의 길이에 따른 분광학적인 특성에는 별 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 곁사슬의 길이는 결합형태에 영향을 미치지 앓는다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한, 강한 에너지의 전달이 $pdy[d(A-T)_2]$와 $poly[d(I-C)_2]$에는 일어나지만 $poly[d(G-C)_2]$에는 일어나지 않는 것으로 보아 $poly[d(G-C)_2]$의 작은 흠쪽에 돌출해 있는 아민기가 DNA염기로부터의 에너지의 전달을 방해하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

최근 고해상도 영상레이더를 탑재한 위성이 성공적으로 발사, 운용되고 있다. 이들 위성에서 획득된 자료를 이용한 위상간섭기법의 활용은 다양한 지구과학적 분야에서 보다 자세한 정보를 제공하고 있다. 위상간섭기법 적용에서 긴밀도는 영상레이더 자료로부터 생성된 위상간섭도 질을 평가하는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 미국 서부 텍사스에 위치한 엘파소 지역에 대한 고해상도 X-밴드 TerraSAR-X(TSX), L-밴드 ALOS PALSAR와 중해상도 C-밴드 Envisat ASAR 위성 영상레이더 자료의 긴밀도 특성을 분석 평가하고자 한다. 짧은 시간기선거리(temporal baseline) 조건에서 X-밴드 TSX 자료의 긴밀도는 0.3~0.6으로 L-밴드 ALOS PALSAR 자료와 유사한 정도의 높은 긴밀도를 나타내었다. 이 수치는 C-밴드 Envisat ASAR 자료에 비해서는 상당히 높은 것이며 영상레이더 신호의 파장이 길수록 위상간섭도의 긴밀도 유지에 있어 보다 유리하다는 일반적인 산란 이론을 고려해 볼 때 의미있는 결과라 할 수 있다. TSX 자료가 높은 긴밀도를 갖는 이유는 안정적인 산란 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있는 높은 공간 해상력이 하나의 원인일 것으로 추정된다. 하지만 11~33일 정도의 짧은 시간기선거리에서는 비교적 높은 긴밀도를 유지하는 반면에 시간기선거리가 다소 길어질 경우 긴밀도가 크게 저하된다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 긴밀도가 시간기선거리와 매우 밀접한 관계에 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 원격탐사 관측 자료는 폭우나 태풍으로 인해 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 발생할 수 있는 산사태 피해 지역을 신속하게 탐지하는데 매우 유용한 도구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 산사태 발생 이후에 관측이 수행된 다중 편광 SAR 자료를 이용하여 산사태 지역을 자동으로 분류하는 효과적인 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 실험적인 분석을 바탕으로 SAR 관측 자료로부터 산사태를 탐지하기 위해서는 SAR 영상의 스펙클 현상을 줄여주는 스펙클 필터와 경사진 지형에서의 기하왜곡을 보정하는 정사보정이 필수적임을 확인하였고, IDAN 필터를 적용하여 스펙클을 줄이고 다중 편광 파라미터를 추정한 후에 정사보정을 수행하는 것이 산사태 탐지를 위해 적합한 처리 과정임을 제시하였다. 또한 다양한 다중 편광 파라미터에 대한 탐지 성능 분석을 통해 entropy 파라미터가 산사태 탐지에 좋은 성능을 보임을 파악하였다. 이러한 분석을 토대로 다중 편광 파라미터에 대한 자동적인 문턱값 설정과 DEM을 보조적으로 사용하는 산사태 탐지 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 탐지 알고리즘은 2011년 9월 태풍 탈라스에 의해 발생한 산사태에 대해 관측을 수행한 ALOS-2위성의 PALSAR-2 자료를 이용하여 실험적인 평가를 수행하였고, 약 82%의 탐지율과 3%의 오경보율로 산사태를 탐지 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
