Purpose: To investigate the temperature-based differences of cortical bone ultrashort echo time MRI (UTE-MRI) biomarkers between body and room temperatures. Investigations of ex vivo UTE-MRI techniques were performed mostly at room temperature however, it is noted that the MRI properties of cortical bone may differ in vivo due to the higher temperature which exists as a condition in the live body. Materials and Methods: Cortical bone specimens from fourteen donors ($63{\pm}21$ years old, 6 females and 8 males) were scanned on a 3T clinical scanner at body and room temperatures to perform T1, $T2^*$, inversion recovery UTE (IR-UTE) $T2^*$ measurements, and two-pool magnetization transfer (MT) modeling. Results: Single-component $T2^*$, $IR-T2^*$, short and long component $T2^*s$ from bi-component analysis, and T1 showed significantly higher values while the noted macromolecular fraction (MMF) from MT modeling showed significantly lower values at body temperature, as compared with room temperature. However, it is noted that the short component fraction (Frac1) showed higher values at body temperature. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for careful consideration of the temperature effects on MRI measurements, before extending a conclusion from ex vivo studies on cortical bone specimens to clinical in vivo studies. It is noted that the increased relaxation times at higher temperature was most likely due to an increased molecular motion. The T1 increase for the studied human bone specimens was noted as being significantly higher than the previously reported values for bovine cortical bone. The prevailing discipline notes that the increased relaxation times of the bound water likely resulted in a lower signal loss during data acquisition, which led to the incidence of a higher Frac1 at body temperature.

We analyzed the micro-meteorological characteristics during typical steam fog over the Gumi Reservoir of Nakdong river with the field observation data for recent 2 year(1 April 2013~31 March 2015) collected by the national institute of meteorological research, KMA. Steam fog occur when the cold drainage flows over the warm water surface. As the sensible and latent heat from water are provided to the air, the instability of lower atmosphere is increased. The resultant vertical mixing of warm, moist air near water surface and cold air aloft causes the formation of status cloud. The convection strengthened by radiative cooling of the upper part of the stratus causes the fog to propagate downward. Also, the temperature at the lowest atmosphere is increased rapidly and the inversion near surface disappear by these processes when the fog forms. The increase of wind speed is observed because the downward transportation of momentum is caused by vertical mixing.

A bio-optical model was developed specific for turbid and shallow waters. Special studies were carried out to estimate absorption and scattering properties as well as backscattering probability of suspended matter. The inversion of bio-optical model allows for direct retrieval of turbidity and chlorophyll- a from the visible-near infrared (VNIR) range sensor. Time-series satellite imagery from ASTER AM-1 sensor, were used to monitor the Laguna de Bay water quality condition. Spatial distribution of temperature for the lake was extracted from the thermal infrared (TIR) sensor. Corresponding field surveys were conducted to parameterize the bio -optical model. In-situ measurements include suspended particle and chlorophyll-a concentrations profiles from nephelometric devices and processing of water samples. Hyperspectral measurements were used to validate results of the bio -optical model and satellite- based estimation. This study provides a theoretical basis and a practical illustration of applying space- based measurements on an operational basis.

물/Span 80-Tween 80/긴 사슬 파라핀 오일 계에서 PIC (조성 상전이) 방법을 이용하여 O/W 나노에멀젼을 제조하였다. 제조 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $80^{\circ}C$로 상승시킴에 따라 제조된 나노에멀젼의 입경은 120 nm에서 40 nm로 감소하여 나노에멀젼을 형성하였다. 혼합 계면활성제의 HLB를 변화시킴에 따라 12.0 ~ 13.0 부근에서 가장 작은 입경을 형성하는 최적 HLB가 존재하였다. 나노에멀젼의 점도는 액적의 부피 분율(${\phi}$)에 따라 현격하게 증가하였으나, 입경의 크기는 약간 증가하였다. 그리고, ${\phi}{\leq}0.3$ 조건에서 나노에멀젼의 크기 분포는 2개월 이상 일정하게 유지 되었다. 이러한 결과는 점성 파라핀 오일의 경우 $30^{\circ}C$에서는 PIC 방식으로 거의 분산할 수 없음을 보여주지만, 제조 온도가 증가할 경우 단 분산 나노에멀젼의 제조가 가능하다는 것을 보여준다. 나노에멀젼이 생성되면, Ostwald ripening에 대한 안정성은 연속 상에서 액상 파라핀 오일의 매우 낮은 용해도로 인해 안정하게 되며, 이는 화장품 응용에서 매우 중요하다.

Herein, the preparation of anion exchange membrane (AEM) from brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl 1,6-phenylene oxide) BPPO and dimethylaniline (DMA) by phase-inversion process is reported. Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are prepared by varying the DMA contents. Prepared AEMs show high thermal stability, water uptake (WR) around 202% to 226%, dimensional change ratios of 1.5% to 2.6% and ion exchange capacities (IECs) of 0.34 mmol/g to 0.82 mmol/g with contact angle of $59.18^{\circ}$ to $65.15^{\circ}$. These membranes are porous in nature as confirmed by SEM observation. The porous property of membranes are important as it could reduce the resistance of transportation of ions across the membranes. They have been used in diffusion dialysis (DD) process for recovery of hydrochloric acid (HCl) from the mixture of HCl and ferrous chloride ($FeCl_2$). Presence of $-N+(CH_3)_2C_6H_5Br^-$ as a functional group in membrane matrix facilitates its applications in DD process. The dialysis coefficients of hydrochloric acid ($U_H$) of the membranes are in range of 0.0016 m/h to 0.14 m/h and the separation factors (S) are in range of 2.09 to 7.32 in the $HCl/FeCl_2$ system at room temperature. The porous membrane structure and presence of amine functional group are responsible for the mechanism of diffusion dialysis (DD).

여름철 제주해협 물성 분포의 특성과 제주해협 수괴가 연안에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 2019년 6월, 7월, 8월에 완도와 제주도 사이에서 수온과 염분을 관측하였다. 여름철 계절 수온약층 아래에서 15℃의 저온수가 관측되었으며, 이 저온수는 관측시기에 따라 다르지만 수심이 깊은 제주해협 남쪽 골보다는 주로 제주해협 중앙의 중층과 북쪽 사면에 분포하였다. 이 저온수를 구성하는 근원 수괴를 알아보기 위하여 제주해협에서 관측된 해수를 구성하는 주변 근원 수괴들의 혼합비(mixing ratio)를 계산하였다. 여름철 제주해협 중앙 중층과 북쪽 사면에 나타나는 저온수는 평균적으로 쿠로시오 아표층수가 54% 그리고 황해저층냉수가 33% 비율로 혼합된 해수였다. 이 중층 저온수는 제주해협 전 수층에서 가장 낮은 수온을 갖는 해수임에도 상대적으로 고온고염인 쿠로시오아표층수가 큰 구성비율을 갖고 있다. 중층 저온수가 제주해협에서 가장 낮은 수온의 분포를 갖게 된 이유는 다른 제주해협 해수에 비해 황해저층냉수의 기여도가 높기 때문이다. 제주해협 중층 저온수의 기원을 살펴보기 위하여 황해, 동중국해, 대한해협에서 2019년 여름철에 관측한 광역 수온과 염분 자료를 분석하였다. 제주도 남서쪽 동중국해 계절 수온약층 아래에서 쿠로시오 기원의 해수와 황해저층냉수가 열염전선을 형성하였고, 이 열염전선을 가로지르는 수괴의 관입에 의해 해수의 혼합이 발생하였다. 동중국해에서 형성된 이 혼합수는 제주해협에서 관측된 중층 저온수와 거의 같은 혼합비율을 가졌다. 이런 결과들을 종합하였을 때 제주해협에서 여름철에 관측된 중층 저온수는 동중국해에서 쿠로시오 아표층수와 황해저층냉수의 혼합으로 만들어진 저온수가 해류를 따라 이동한 것이다. 제주해협 중앙과 북쪽 사면으로 이동한 중층 저온수는 제주해협 중앙의 중층에서 수온역전을 만들고, 한국 남해안 연안의 표층 수온 변동에도 큰 영향을 미친다.

We applied SP monitoring and resistivity surveys using the pole-pole electrode array to seawater leakage problems in the Youngsan estuary dam and the Eoeun embankment to estimate and detect the zone of seawater leakage. The embankment is generally affected by tidal variation and has low resistivity characteristics due to the high saturation of seawater. For this reason, SP monitoring and the pole-pole array resistivity surveys, which are relatively more effective to the conductive media, were carried out to delineate the leakage zones of sea water through the embankment. We checked out electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature variations along the inner part of Youngsan estuary dam to detect the zone of seawater leakage and found that the measured EC value agreed to that of seawater in the leakage zone and the temperature was lower than that of the vicinity of leakage zone. SP monitoring results were coincided with tidal variations at each embankment. At the leakage zones in the Youngsan estuary dam and the Eoeun embankment, SP anomalies are in the range of -60~-85 mV and -20~-50 mV, respectively, and true resistivity values obtained by 2-D inversion are 3~15 ohm-m and below 0.3 ohm-m, respectively. Both SP monitoring and the pole-pole array resistivity method are found to be quite effective for investigation of seawater leakage zones in the embankment.

1965년 부터 1979년 까지 한국 동해에서 관측된 온도 및 염분 자료를 이용하여 밀도역전 현상을 조사하였다.그 결과 밀도역전 여름보다 겨울에 많은 것으로 나타났다.겨울에는 동해 전 해역의 절반정도에서 역전층이 형성되며,여름에는 대한해엽의 일부해협에서만 일어난다.또한 역전층의 깊이는 보통 표층에서 수십 m까지이다.이와같은 역전현상은 표층 Ekman수송에 의한 냉수의 이류로 설명 할 수 있다. 즉,겨울에는 북서 계절풍에 의한 표층 냉수의 남하로 인하여 생기며,여름에는 남서퓽에 의해서 연안 근처에서 용승된 저층 냉수가 대한해협 쪽으로 공급되어 일어난다고 생각된다.

Numerical prediction of nocturnal thermal high in summer of the 1995 near Taegu city located in a basin has been carried out by a non-hydrostatic numerical model over complex terrain through one-way double nesting technique in the Z following coordinate system. Under the prevailing westerly winds, vertical turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat over mountains for daytime hours are quite strong with a large magnitude of more than $120W/\textrm{m}^2$, but a small one of $5W/\textrm{m}^2$ at the surface of the basin. Convective boundary layer (CBL) is developed with a thickness of about 600m over the ground in the lee side of Mt. Hyungje, and extends to the edge of inland at the interface of land sea in the east. Sensible heat flux near the surface of the top of the mountain is $50W/\textrm{m}^2$, but its flux in the basin is almost zero. Convergence of sensible heat flux occurs from the ground surface toward the atmosphere in the lower layer, causing the layer over the mountain to be warmed up, but no convergance of the flux over the basin results from the significant mixing of air within the CBL. As horizontal transport of sensible heat flux from the top of the mountain toward over the basin results in the continuous accumulation of heat with time, enhancing air temperature at the surface of the basin, especially Taegu city to be higher than $39.3^{\circ}C$. Since latent heat fluxes are $270W/\textrm{m}^2$ near the top of the mountain and $300W/\textrm{m}^2$ along the slope of the mountain and the basin, evaporation of water vapor from the surface of the basin is much higher than one from the mountain and then, horizontal transport of latent heat flux is from the basin toward the mountain, showing relative humidity of 65 to 75% over the mountain to be much greater than 50% to 55% in the basin. At night, sensible heat fluxes have negative values of $-120W/\textrm{m}^2$ along the slope near the top of the mountain and $-50W/\textrm{m}^2$ at the surface of the basin, which indicate gain of heat from the lower atmosphere. Nighttime radiative cooling produces a shallow nocturnal surface inversion layer with a thickness of about 100m, which is much lower than common surface inversion layer, and lifts extremely heated air masses for daytime hours, namely, a warm pool of $34^{\circ}C$ to be isolated over the ground surface in the basin. As heat transfer from the warm pool in the lower atmosphere toward the ground of the basin occurs, the air near the surface of the basin does not much cool down, resulting in the persistence of high temperature at night, called nocturnal thermal high or tropical night. High relative humidity of 75% is found at the surface of the basin under the moderate wind, while slightly low relative humidity of 60% is along the eastern slope of the high mountain, due to adiabatic heating by the srong downslope wind. Air temperature near the surface of the basin with high moisture in the evening does not get lower than that during the day and the high temperature produces nocturnal warming situation.
